"Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship."
~ Buddha
i've been loving wayne dyer since the early 90's. really, he should be my husband. . . .
here's his advice for today:
Inspiration is a state of being here now in this material world, while at the same time reconnecting to our spiritual origins. In order to be receptive to inspiration, we need to eliminate the ego clutter that accumulates all too easily for most of us—after all, if we're preoccupied with events and activities that have nothing to do with inspiration, we're unlikely to notice its summons. So in order to achieve a reunion with our ultimate calling, we need to emulate the clear, uncomplicated world of Spirit.
This doesn't mean that we should sit around doing nothing, awaiting Spirit's arrival; instead, it means having faith that our spiritual connection flourishes in a life dedicated to joy, love, and peace. If our daily activities are so overwhelming that we don't make these things our priority, then we're disregarding the value of living a simple life.
My 12-Step Program for Simplifying Your Life
Here are 12 very specific tools for simplifying your life. Begin using them today if you're serious about hearing that ultimate call to inspiration.
- Unclutter Your Life. You'll feel a real rush of inspiration when you clear out stuff that's no longer useful in your life:
If you haven't worn it in the past year or two, recycle it for others to use. Get rid of old files that take up space and are seldom, if ever, needed. Donate unused toys, tools, books, bicycles, and dishes to a charitable organization.
Get rid of anything that keeps you mired in acquisitions that contribute to a cluttered life. In the words of Socrates, "He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things." So the less you need to insure, protect, dust, reorganize, and move, the closer you'll be to hearing inspiration's call.
- Clear your Calendar of Unwanted and Unnecessary Activities and Obligations. If you're unavailable for Spirit, you're unlikely to know the glow of inspiration. God will indeed work with you and send you the guidance—and the people—you need, but if you're grossly overscheduled, you're going to miss these life-altering gifts. So practice saying no to excessive demands and don't feel guilty about injecting a dose of leisure time into your daily routine.
- Be Sure to Keep Your Free Time Free. Be on the lookout for invitations to functions that may keep you on top of society's pyramid, but which inhibit your access to joyful inspiration. If cocktail parties, social get-togethers, fund-raising events, or even drinking-and-gossiping gatherings with friends aren't really how you want to spend your free time, then don't. Begin declining invitations that don't activate feelings of inspiration. I find that an evening spent reading or writing letters, watching a movie with a loved one, having dinner with my children, or even exercising alone is far more inspiring than getting dressed to attend a function often filled with small talk. I've learned to be unavailable for such events without apologizing, and consequently have more inspired moments freed up.
- Take Time for Meditation and Yoga. Give yourself at least 20 minutes a day to sit quietly and make conscious contact with God. I've written an entire book on this subject called Getting in the Gap, so I won't belabor it here. I will say that I've received thousands of messages from people all over the world, who have expressed their appreciation for learning how to simplify their life by taking the time to meditate. I also encourage you to find a yoga center near you and begin a regular practice. The rewards are so powerful: You'll feel healthier, less stressed, and inspired by what you'll be able to do with and for your body in a very short time.
- Return to the Simplicity of Nature. There's nothing more awe-inspiring than nature itself. The fantasy to return to a less tumultuous life almost always involves living in the splendor of the mountains, the forests, or the tundra; on an island; near the ocean; or beside a lake. These are universal urges, since nature is created by the same Source as we are, and we're made up of the same chemicals as all of nature (we're stardust, remember?).
Your urge to simplify and feel inspired is fueled by the desire to be your natural self—that is, your natureself. So give yourself permission to get away to trek or camp in the woods; swim in a river, lake, or ocean; sit by an open fire; ride horseback through trails; or ski down a mountain slope. This doesn't have to mean long, planned vacations that are months away—no matter where you live, you're only a few hours or even moments away from a park, campground, or trail that will allow you to enjoy a feeling of being connected to the entire Universe.
- Put Distance between You and Your Critics. Choose to align yourself with people who are like-minded in their search for simplified inspiration. Give those who find fault or who are confrontational a silent blessing and remove yourself from their energy as quickly as possible. Your life is simplified enormously when you don't have to defend yourself to anyone, and when you receive support rather than criticism. You don't have to endure the criticism with anything other than a polite thank-you and a promise to consider what's been said—anything else is a state of conflict that erases the possibility of your feeling inspired. You never need to defend yourself or your desires to anyone, as those inner feelings are Spirit speaking to you. Those thoughts are sacred, so don't ever let anyone trample on them.
- Take Some Time for Your Health. Consider that the number one health problem in America seems to be obesity. How can you feel inspired and live in simplicity if you're gorging on excessive amounts of food and eliminating the exercise that the body craves? Recall that your body is a sacred temple where you reside for this lifetime, so make some time every single day for exercising it. Even if you can only manage a walk around the block, just do it. Similarly, keep the words portion control uppermost in your consciousness—your stomach is the size of your fist, not a wheelbarrow! Respect your sacred templeand simplify your life by being an exerciser and a sensible eater. I promise that you'll feel inspired if you act on this today!
- Play, Play, Play! You'll simplify your life and feel inspired if you learn to play rather than work your way through life. I love to be around kids because they inspire me with their laughter and frivolity. In fact, if I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times: "Wayne, you've never grown up—you're always playing." I take great pride in this! I play onstage when I speak, and I'm playing now as I write.
Many years ago I was given a tremendous opportunity to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The man who took a chance on me, booking me even though I was an unknown at the time, was a talent coordinator named Howard Papush. It was my first big break, and I went on to appear on The Tonight Show 36 additional times. Now it's my turn to say thank you to Howard. He's written a wonderful book titled When's Recess? Playing Your Way Through the Stresses of Life, which I encourage you to read. (Howard also conducts workshops that teach people how to play and have fun in life.) In the book, Howard shares this great quote from Richard Bach: "You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self." I couldn't agree more—by all means, get back in touch with your real, playful self, and take every opportunity to play! Notice how it makes everything so sweet, and so simple.
- Slow Down. One of Gandhi's most illuminating observations reminds us that "there is more to life than increasing its speed." This is great advice for simplifying your life—in fact, slow everything way down for a few moments right here and now. Slowly read these words. Slow your breathing down so that you're aware of each inhalation and exhalation…
When you're in your car, downshift and relax. Slow down your speech, your inner thoughts, and the frantic pace of everything you do. Take more time to hear others. Notice your inclination to interrupt and get the conversation over with, and then choose to listen instead. Stop to enjoy the stars on a clear night and the cloud formations on a crisp day. Sit down in a mall and just observe how everyone seems in a hurry to get nowhere.
By slowing down, you'll simplify and rejoin the perfect pace at which creation works. Imagine trying to hurry nature up by tugging at an emerging tomato plant—you're as natural as that plant, so let yourself be at peace with the perfection of nature's plan.
- Do Everything You Can to Eschew Debt. Remember that you're attempting to simplify your life here, so you don't need to purchase more of what will complicate and clutter your life. If you can't afford it, let it go until you can. By going into debt, you'll just add layers of anxiety onto your life. That anxiety will then take you away from your peace, which is where you are when you're in-Spirit. When you have to work extra hard to pay off debts, the present moments of your life are less enjoyable; consequently, you're further away from the joy and peace that are the trademarks of inspiration. You're far better off to have less and enjoy the days of your life than to take on debt and invite stress and anxiety where peace and tranquility could have reigned. And remember that the money you have in your possession is nothing but energy—so refuse to plug in to an energy system that's not even there.
- Forget about the Cash Value. I try not to think about money too frequently because it's been my observation that people who do so tend to think about almost nothing else. So do what your heart tells you will bring you joy, rather than determining whether it will be cost-effective. If you'd really enjoy that whale-watching trip, for instance, make the decision to do so—don't deny yourself the pleasures of life because of some monetary detail. Don't base your purchases on getting a discount, and don't rob yourself of a simple joy because you didn't get a break on the price. You can afford a happy, fulfilling life, and if you're busy right now thinking that I have some nerve telling you this because of your bleak financial picture, then you have your own barrier of resistance.
Make an attempt to free yourself from placing a price tag on everything you have and do—after all, in the world of Spirit, there are no price tags. Don't make money the guiding principle for what you have or do; rather, simplify your life and return to Spirit by finding the inherent value in everything. A dollar does not determine worth, even though you live in a world that attempts to convince you otherwise.
- Remember Your Spirit. When life tends to get overly complex, too fast, too cluttered, too deadline oriented, or too type A for you, stop and remember your own spirit. You're headed for inspiration, a simple, peaceful place where you're in harmony with the perfect timing of all creation. Go there in your mind, and stop frequently to remember what you really want.
A man who personified success at the highest intellectual and social levels would hardly seem one to quote on simplifying our life, yet here's what Albert Einstein offers us on this subject: "Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury—to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind."
Wow! I'd say this is pretty good advice, wouldn't you?

No matter what they tell us, no matter what they do
No matter what they teach us, what we believe is true
No matter what they call us, however they attack
No matter where they take us, we'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe, I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what
If only tears were laughter, if only night was day
If only prayers were answered then we would hear God say:
"No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do
No matter what they teach you, what you believe is true"
And I will keep you safe and strong and sheltered from the storm
No matter where it's barren, a dream is being born
No matter who they follow, no matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us, I'll be everyone you need.

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, as he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one we know has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it.

(NEWSER) – Turns out Pinterest is good for something other than bookmarking recipes and crafts you're never really going to make: One resourceful boyfriend snuck onto the site and used his girlfriend's "Dream Wedding" pin board to actually create her dream wedding, the Daily Mailreports. It all started when Ryan Leak, 27, overheard his then-girlfriend Amanda Roman, 25, tell a friend that she wanted to get engaged and married on the same day. So, for the next year, Leak set out to make it happen.
Using the 220 images on her Pinterest board, Leak chose the flowers, the decorations, and even Roman's dress. In June, the couple flew from their home in Dallas to Miami (he told her they were helping a friend move), where Leak proposed … and hours later, they got hitched. About 100 of their friends and family members were there, and Leak even flew out Roman's hairstylist to do her hair. "When I opened the door and I saw everyone that I loved standing there it was so overwhelming, I felt so overwhelmed with love," Roman says. And she was wowed: "Realistically I never thought that I would be able to pull off some of the things I saw on Pinterest."
i wish mr. & mrs. leak happiness forever! good job, ryan!

for two and a half years now, i have lived directly across the street from the thai mission. the doorman at the thai general consulate has worked there for 41 years, although i didn't know that until today. i really don't know very much about him at all, actually. he speaks very little english and i'm sure we have never had a conversation lasting longer than one minute – until just now. on my way back home from walking ivan, he crossed the street and waved me over to let me know that today would be his last day, and in his very broken english said the following:
you haven't been around much lately and i was hoping i would see you before i left. you are one of the good ones, a big heart, kind – i know it and god knows it. i wanted to make sure to say goodbye to you – god bless you.
i am putting that on my top 10 nicest things ever to happen list.

even though it's down-pouring outside, it feels good to be heading back towards the city today. i'll leave susan's secret retreat today, spend 2 days in jersey, and wake up in my own bed on east 52nd street on sunday morning. :)
it's been raining here for the last 3 days which means no cell phone service, and intermittent internet. i have to keep watching the modem – and if the green light goes on, i make a mad rush to the computer to check my e-mail. sometimes i can get through 3 or 4 before the internet goes out again. although this may have been the quietest summer i've ever experienced, i did manage to meet 2 people and several hundred animals – all of which i will tell you about when i get back to civilization. in the mean time, i will leave you with some pictures of this amazing place in upstsate ny.
here ivan is enjoying the view from the deck at sunset:
the local cuisine:
interesting reading material:
outstanding views:
some of my new friends:
and a flower encircled silo:
a giant 'thank you' to susan for lending me this wonderful space for the summer. i am forever grateful to you! (and if you're interested, she'll rent it to you – just let me know – the fall is spectacular and there's skiing just around the corner. )
i'm expecting some miracles this week. i'm very excited about it and i've decided to expect some every day from now on.
just keeping you up to date.
Acts of kindness, however small – a smile, a compliment, a helping hand – plant seeds of hope, love, and beauty in a spectacular garden you'll one day call home.
Talk about 'Miracle Grow,'

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of Root Beer and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an elderly man. The man was sitting in the park just feeding some pigeons.
The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the man looked hungry, so he offered him a Twinkie.
The man gratefully accepted it and smiled at boy. His smile was so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer.
Again, the man smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the man, and gave him a hug. The man gave him his biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?
"He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? God's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the elderly man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked," Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added," You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

back on retreat! well, sort of. . . i'll be spending a good part of the summer out of the city and i'm currently enjoying another week at my friend susan's house in upstate ny, which i refer to as susan's resort. the resort is on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees, amazing landscapes and all kinds of wild beasts. everyday, rain or shine, i am compelled to go for a long ride to take pictures.
on today's journey i was listening to wayne dyer speak about the tao by lao tzu. tao is chinese for 'the way'. i've listened to this cd many times over the last several years and never get tired of wayne dyer speaking about lessons of the tao, which of course any taoist knows, cannot actually be spoken of. if you don't get that – no worries. to simplify the idea, i can only suggest that it says something along the lines of, 'we need do nothing for all to be done perfectly'.
after driving for about an hour or so, i realized that i hadn't noticed any real photo ops. this has never happened before. i always see something photo worthy on my excursions up here in god's country. maybe i was so into listening to wayne, i had driven right by places that i normally would have stopped for a photo or two. how unusual. i decided to pay particular attention to the scenery and looked carefully so that i would be sure not to miss any beasts hiding deep in the woods. driving about 5 mph for the last 10 miles home, i looked and looked as i listened to wayne talk about finding peace through the tao and how all that is, is already perfect, ect. . . .
as i drove up the driveway of susan's resort, i was astonished that i had arrived home picture-less. normally this would have upset me but i felt happy to have had the opportunity to listen to wayne talk about the tao suggesting that to be one with what is, is the way to peace or, (in my words) all things happen for a reason & if you just go with that, you'll have peace.
when i got out of the car, i let ivan out of the back seat and then went around to the passenger side to get my bag and my camera. i almost laughed out loud when i discovered my camera wasn't in the car, but had been sitting on the kitchen counter inside the house the entire time.
wouldn't that just be the way of it??

An environmental study and not private developers will determine the route for the Illiana expressway.
Governor Daniels has proposed seeking private developers to build the Indiana section of the highway.
It would run from I-94 near Michigan City south of Valparaiso to I-57 south of Chicago.
However some people are concerned about the property that could be taken to make way for the road.
An Indot spokesman says the route will be determined by a state environmental study before any contracts with potential toll road developers are negotiated.

New Cheetah Cub for San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Ambassador Program
- Details
- Created on Friday, 13 June 2014 13:51
- Written by IVN
Escondido, California - A 6-week-old cheetah cub at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is spending lots of time with his new dog companion. The young cheetah, Ruuxa, was chosen to be raised as an animal ambassador at the Safari Park after he was rejected by his mother and had to be hand raised by keepers.
Cheetahs are usually born in litters of three to five cubs; when a singleton is born, the mother often rejects the cub since the chance of the cub surviving in the wild would be minimal.
The cheetah cub and puppy, a 7-week-old Rhodesian ridgeback puppy named Raina, are being introduced by animal care staff at the Safari Park. The puppy will be raised with the cheetah and serve as his lifelong companion.
"Because the cheetah was by himself and did not have any siblings we wanted him to have a companion immediately," animal training manager Susie Ekard said. "They definitely like to play, and when they take naps together, they often will snuggle up together for that warmth and closeness."
Safari Park cheetahs selected for training as ambassadors are paired early in life with a domestic dog. As the two companions grow up together, the dog's body language will communicate to the cheetah that there's nothing to fear in new or public surroundings, which relaxes and calms the cheetah. The Safari Park currently has four cheetah ambassadors all of which are trained to participate in the Park's Cheetah Run experience.
Bringing species back from the brink of extinction is the goal of San Diego Zoo Global. As a leader in conservation, the work of San Diego Zoo Global includes onsite wildlife conservation efforts (representing both plants and animals) at the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, as well as international field programs on six continents.

I stared at this screen for a long time trying to think of what I loved best about you, but found I was unable to choose just one thing. So here it is.
1. I love that you plan for a future. Terribly pessimistic myself, I find that around you, I too, see a future. One where we move out, live together, cook for one another - and of a night, sleep beside one another, hopelessly entwined around each other. A future you have created.
2. I love the way you make me laugh. Small things, big things, funny things, self deprecating things - I laugh incessantly, loudly, and without inhibition. So much so the people around me notice.
3. I love sex with you. Previously, I was inexperienced, self-conscious, reserved; never aroused enough to get wet. With you I am a different person - a soul enveloped in skin, which, when you kiss me, is felt right down to my toes. I never understood, never liked, the term 'making love' before you. But with you I pour myself into you and you into me, our souls knit, our hearts synchronised. God, the small groan when you first enter me; I am paralysed with love. Your hands travel all over my body, tracing road maps, places to visit, points of interest. You are never-ending; you are mine.
4. I love the way you are so willing to tell me you love me. Not only did you say it first - I am a coward, I admit, cowering before the fear of rejection - but you continuously remind me. I cannot even describe the sensations I am victim to when, midway through making love, you stop and cradle my face. "I love you so much," you say, pausing in your enjoyment to ensure I am still receiving the love you are so ardently trying to communicate.
5. Kisses on the forehead. So simple, so benign, almost platonic - but with you, they are comforting, erotic, beautiful.
6. The way you aren't afraid to grab me, throw me across the bed, pin me down. "Tell me what you want," you beg, "tell me what you like." It is summer and you are dragging me into the ocean, a hot night and you are crushing me against a wall in your fervour, a chilly morning and you are squeezing the breath out of me as you wake in an effort to warm my cold toes.
7. You never make me feel worthless, something I am unaccustomed to. Previously having my clothes and behaviour dictated, being blamed for any and all men who hit on me - you are so wonderfully different and I adore you for it. You let me wear what I want, comfort me when I panic about being too slutty or too drunk - my anxiety unfounded as you whisper that I look beautiful no matter what I wear. That you know I have eyes only for you, hands designed to roam your body, a figure that fits to yours like a jigsaw puzzle. You give me freedom.
8. You. I love you. Your mind, your voice, your body, your soul, your determination, your ambition, your dedication, your generosity. Your love for me, scary as it is. You dominate my consciousness, my dreams, my thoughts - and yet I would have it no other way.

Re: Help CAMP ZOE#14040 3 years, 6 months ago"If they succeed in seizing Camp Zoe, we can expect the same tactics to be used against music venues nation-wide," Dan Viets told Pro Libertate. "This is a major test case that is being watched very carefully by people who hold music festivals and other large events, and who might find their property and profits subject to seizure without even being accused of a crime, let alone convicted of one."
Those seeking to steal Camp Zoe -- and their stenographers in the local press -- are betting heavily that the mainstream public won't rally to the defense of a counter-culture outpost owned by an bass-playing entrepreneur in dreadlocks.
William Jon Cox, a former prosecutor and police sergeant, points out that the current War on Drugs grew out of cynical political calculations of this kind. For reasons rooted in sheer political opportunism, the Nixon administration devised the drug war as a cultural conflict pitting the "Silent Majority" against the "Damn Dirty Hippies."

I wonder how much of this is the welfare to work plan that´s become a new scam for the lofos. I mean you can get free daycare if your studying for college(we know what a laugh that is).But anyway what´s happening is these studious welfare students farm their daycare out to a relative,mostly grandmothers, I assume who weren´t paragons of virtue in the first place.So these improvised daycare people more or less let these kids run amok all day,just like the welfare produced..I don´t understand how a daycare place can be unlicensed to begin with.Real daycare centers are always being shutdown by frivolous lawsuits and can´t even buy insurance.

How is an unlicensed facility receiving my tax dollars to begin with? 21 children lost in 4 years in unlicensed or illegal facilities is shameful. It´s not the best way to deal with the problem but it´s probably the most expedient.

I recently read taxpayers were paying for childcare for 1._ million children. If I were a betting woman, I would say the number was much higher than that.

Judge Judy did a case just two days ago, where the defendant had given up custody of her baby to the State, and an aunt was foster care provider, being paid by the State to do so.Further, the defendant said the aunt was going to adopt the baby. Judge Judy said she knew all about kinship adoptions, and noted that the aunt will have the payments continue, same as were paid for foster care, and that the defendant would have full access to the baby. In other words, a scam.Some of the day care money is a scam, as well.(There is even a scam where a family pet is turned into a service dog - Judge Judy had a case on that.)The most well intentioned social programs are scammed regularly.

Rick Genest (left) and international cover boy Andrej Pejic (right) generate some intense chemistry in this session by Marcelo Krasilcic for Auslander's spring 2012 campaign.
Genest got his first tattoo at age 16. Prior to modeling for Mugler and costarring in Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" video, he worked in a circus freak show in his native Montréal. Now at 25 he is completely covered except for his knees, legs, feet, and butt.
Pejic was discovered while attending high school in Melbourne, Australia, and quickly landed the fall/winter 2010-2011 campaigns for Jean-Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs. He'ss quickly became famous for his androgynous look and playing both male and female roles in shoots, though in the fashion world this has been a topic of interest rather than outrage.

We love Oak Arbor School! Our children are thriving under the thoughtful care of the teachers. They are being challenged academically, but mostly they are building confidence and being fed on a moral and spiritual level.
As an alumni of Oak Arbor school I can honestly say how wondeful it was going there. The teachers all care about each student and their education, they create an atmosphere where i felt comfortable to share and learn. I'm so glad I went to Oak Arbor for many reasons, the trips, oppurtunities, and experiences helped open my eyes to the many possibilities of what I want to do with my life. It set me on the right track going into high school academically and socially.
I m an alumnus of Oak Arbor School, having attended from Grade 5 to Grade 8. The experience I had there was very influential in building a strong foundation for my higher education. Not only can I see now how much Oak Arbor School helped me to be a stronger student and an individual person, but even as a current student I enjoyed every moment there. The teachers really cared about my welfare as a growing child and as a student, and I loved the small class sizes that allowed me to build good friendships and have more attention from teachers. I m happy I was pushed to work hard, but at the same time encouraged in a way that was not overwhelming. I m grateful for the confidence in public speaking that Oak Arbor taught me, and I felt well prepared transitioning from Oak Arbor School to the Rochester Community School system.
The Oak Arbor Church School is a wonderful school. The teachers and staff strive to provide an atmosphere where innocence is protected. In an effort to educate the whole child the teachers are in regular contact with the parents and encourage parent involvement in the school and support from the home. While giving a firm background in math and science, the teachers and staff take the time to really get to know each child and nurture each child's God given talents.
They strive to preserve the innocence of the child and to teach the whole child and not just a part of the child. They excel in fine arts education.

Freezing and reheating pancakes is easy and handy for feeding grandkids. Just place sheets of wax paper between pancakes and wrap in foil or freezer bags. The pancakes will keep for about a month. To heat them, just stack 3 pancakes on a microwaveable plate and microwave uncovered on high for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Since you have grandkids, you might like our article on 7 Happy Twists on Pancakes. And be sure to try our Piggy Pancakes!

What did you do when you first encountered the problem? A network and sharing center looking like that seems like some kind of bug made either a strange update or an error when installing windows 7.
Is the rest of the control panel intact? What happens if you restart in to safemode, same problem?
Try this command in a command prompt and then restart the computer:
net localgroup "Administrators" "Local Service" /add
I found it in a thread for a vista computer but it may work for you.
EDIT: We maybe should keep on this discussion in your thread instead.

I have the same problem!...except my driver is up to date and working properly and my network and sharing center is completely empty...I posted a topic on it in detail and no one helped me at all. I really need to know what's wrong, its driving me crazy.
here's a screen shot of my network and sharing center.
I have tried so many things and nothing has worked.
If that didn't work it might be worth while to run a repair installation from the Windows CD.

Petfood company Procter & Gamble recently relaunched its Iams ProActive Health premium dry dog and cat food brands. This includes "new marketing messages that remind pet owners that their dogs and cats are not vegetarians," according to Jon Moeller, chief financial officer of P&G.
Moeller said some petfoods add plant proteins like gluten, but Iams' petfoods contain 50 percent more animal protein than comparable products and no added gluten.
The relaunch also includes new packaging sizes to target consumers' preferred price points.
Additionally, several new products will be launched over the coming months. Iams' So Good brand will be its first in the mid-priced dry dog food category, containing ingredients like chicken, fruits and vegetables, but free of dyes, added sugar and and artificial preservatives. Iams Woof Delights will be launched to offer consumers a choice of wet dog food, free of fillers, artificial flavors and added gluten.

Windows 7 Professional 32 bit
No multiple display after installing Windows 7
I have a ACER Aspire 2920Z Laptop which has the graphics card - Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset.
I recently performed fresh install of Windows 7 on this Laptop. The OS automatically downloaded and installed all the drivers. However after installation, now I am unable to connect to my TV using S-video.
When i connect the s-video, nothing happens. The application does not even detect the connection.
On launching the Intel Graphics application - under Display Devices, it shows the Operating Mode as Single Display. Please refer the attachment.
Before upgrading to Windows 7, it used to show Multiple displays.
Have also attached the Dxdaig information.
Can somebody help with getting the S-video display to work.

hi rinzyyy and welcome to sevenforums,
i'm afraid i'm not going to be much help, except to say that i had a similar problem on my laptop with intel 945gm graphics. i think intel haven't finalised their windows 7 drivers yet, which is a real pita, as the xp drivers offer more functions and features.
i was at my friend's house telling him how wonderful my new os was, when he asked me if i could plug my laptop into his tv. he had a spare s-video input and lead, so i said sure, no problem.
windows 7 couldn't do it.
luckily my laptop still dual-boots xp, so a quick reboot did the trick...
let's hope intel sort this out!

Is there any RELIABLE way of fitting a tubeless tyre to a conventional spoked wheel? My bike is a Kawasaki VN1500-C2 with a 15 inch rear wheel and I would like to have the extra reliability of the tubeless option. Reliability is important as the bike is mainly used for touring and often I'm a long way from home, and to add to the problems the bike doesn't have a centre stand and weighs a ton!

I suspect your wheel is a spoked effect and not conventional,is your tyre 200/70x15 82h TL? TL means tubeless.
No, it's real spoked, with nipples, rim tape and all the associated bits. Just like a bicycle wheel.Spokes are really short 'cos there is a big hub (shaft drive) and a small diameter rim (15 inches).In the bicycle world there are products that seal the spoke nipples and valve hole where they would leak air. I was just wondering if anything similar was available in the motorcycle world?
Never heard of anything for a motorcycle tubed rim to be made tubeless.All i know is that tubeless tyres have stiffer side walls and beads to match the rim edges.
Have you considered tyre sealant?

After spending time in the D-League with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants for more than a month, rookie shooting guard Jamaal Franklin is back with the Grizzlies. He was recalled earlier today. Via InsideHoops.com:
Franklin (6-5, 191) recorded 17.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.69 steals on .475 shooting (.418 3FG shooting) in 29.0 minutes in 13 games after he was re-assigned to Fort Wayne on Feb. 26.
Judging by his stats, Franklin clearly benefited from his time with the Mad Ants and played well enough for the Grizzlies to want him back on their traveling squad. The Grizzlies are still fairly deep at the shoot guard position, but they could always use more 3-point shooting, which is an area of his game that he excelled at while with the Mad Ants. He's also pretty solid defensively, judging by the number of steals he gets. Maybe we'll see the Grizzlies use him in certain situations to stretch the floor, knock down some threes, and play some defense on the perimeter.

Is Florida's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional?
- 5:30 am Friday, August 29th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
In a 33-page opinion, a federal judge in Tallahassee last week dismantled the arguments against same-sex marriage, declaring Florida's ban unconstitutional.
One of the chief arguments supporting the ban – that the ability to procreate is a fundamental element of marriage – "blinks reality," he wrote.
To the additional argument that same-sex marriage could undermine "traditional" marriage, he countered that "liberty, tolerance, and respect are not zero-sum concepts," and that traditional marriage is "harmed not at all when others … are shown the respect that comes with formal marriage."
Technically, the ban still stands. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle delayed the effect of [More]
"Should Arizona's governor veto a bill giving business owners the right to invoke religion to deny service to gays and others?"
- 11:59 pm Tuesday, February 25th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Should Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer veto a bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gays and lesbians?
The question is as much an economic issue as it is a moral one.
If Brewer signs off on the legislation Arizona faces possible litigation and a boycott. That's not good for a state hosting next year's Super Bowl.
"I have to look at what it says and what the law says," Brewer told CNN, "and take that information and do the right thing."
Brewer got the bill Monday and has five days to sign it, [More]
Was Holder right to extend federal benefits to same-sex couples?
- 11:59 pm Thursday, February 13th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced last week that the Justice Department will give same-sex marriages full and equal recognition to the greatest extent possible under the law, even in such states as Florida that discriminate against same-sex couples by barring them from marrying.
It is a good decision, one that recognizes the humanity of same-sex couples and their right to the same civil benefits enjoyed by heterosexuals. It means that same-sex spouses cannot be compelled to testify against each other, will be eligible
to file for bankruptcy jointly and are entitled to the same rights and privileges as federal prison inmatesin [More]
Were the Boy Scouts right to keep excluding gays?
- 12:04 pm Wednesday, July 18th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
If you are gay, the Boy Scouts of America will not accept you as a Scout or as an adult leader.
The 102-year-old organization announced Tuesday that, after a two-year review by a special panel, it has decided to maintain the policy that excludes gay people from the Scouts.
The main reason, the group said, is that families involved in Scouting indicated that they did not want to include gays. Exclusion "is absolutely the best policy," a spokesman said.
"The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual [More]
Will Obama's support for gay marriage change anything?
- 5:23 pm Thursday, May 10th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
The question we should consider on President Obama's not so new found support for same sex marriage is will it have an immediate impact on legal rights for gay couples.
The answer is no.
When the president told ABC's Robin Roberts in an interview on Wednesday that "it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," he was expressing his personal views. Those views will do nothing for gay couples in North Carolina, for example, where voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment prohibiting them from getting married.

Is the New York gay marriage law a turning point?
- 9:47 am Monday, June 27th, 2011 by Opinion Staff
Is the New York gay marriage law a turning point?
New York has legalized same-sex marriage. And, against all expectations, it happened with Republicans in control of the state Senate.
Gay rights advocates say this marks a turning point. New York is by far the most populous state to legalize same-sex marriages. The state's action also coincides with opinion polls that for the first time show a majority of Americans in favor of allowing same-sex marriages.
The trend had been against same-sex marriages. In 2008, Florida voters placed a ban on same-sex marriages in the state Constitution.

A technique I've used for a completely different requirement may be useful here. What you need to do is add a unique identifier to each source element, then copy that through to the result. When the user 'masks' of a section of the HTML, you can find out which unique identifiers have been masked and then re-parse the source xml to locate the source elements. The unique I identifier I used was the element index, added using an XMLFilter as the source is read in. A separate XMLFilter adds an attribute to every literal result element of the stylesheet as it gets parsed to copy the element index through to the result. For example: Source XML: <root> <foo/> <bar/> </root> Source XML after XMLFilter: <root id="1"> <foo id="2"/> <bar id="3"/> </root> Stylesheet: <xsl:template match="foo">
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template> Stylesheet after XMLFilter: <xsl:template match="foo">
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template> Result when applied:
 So now when your user selects an area of the screen you can access the elementIndex attribute and then query the source xml for an element with a matching number, and locate <foo/>. That is, you know that that
 was generated from the template that processed the source <foo/> element. The element indexes and AVT's are all added at transform time using XMLFilters so it keeps you source and stylesheets clean with a minimal performance impact. I've been a bit brief but I hope you get the idea, Cheers anderw

Should employers get to deny birth control based on religious beliefs?
- 4:34 pm Tuesday, November 26th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will hear claims made by two for-profit corporations that they have a right to deny their employees birth control under their health insurance plans.
Planned Parenthood said giving companies this right could deny millions of women access to affordable birth control and set a dangerous precedent allowing businesses to deny their employees a whole host of other medical procedures and treatments to which they are legally entitled, based on the employer's personal beliefs.
The Affordable Care Act requires insurers to offer contraceptive coverage without a co-pay, but exempts religious non profits that offer insurance to their employees.
Hobby Lobby, a corporation that operates a chain of arts and crafts stores, and Conestoga Wood Products, a corporation that manufactures cabinets, brought lawsuits, seeking to deny their employees insurance coverage for birth control.
Was Rush Limbaugh's apology sincere?
- 3:47 pm Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
Most coverage of the apology from Rush Limbaugh to Georgetown University law school student Sandra Fluke – whom he called a "slut" and a "prostitute" – focused on Mr. Limbaugh's comments that "I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke" and "my choice of words was not the best." Those comments were in the short first and third paragraphs of the apology.
In the longer, second paragraph, though, Mr. Limbaugh basically said that he had been right to criticize Ms. Fluke for saying that Catholic-affiliated institutions should provide contraception coverage in health insurance plans:

We started the evening with the important stuff - dessert. Celebrated Christmas with tables of desserts. OMG. Heaven. Afterwards we displayed our Christmas stockings from the challenge. So many beautiful stockings.
November 2011
The first in our color theory series. We colored our own color wheel. (Great fun. I rarely get a chance to use crayons anymore.) Then we learned about achromatic color - the absence of color. For the next meeting we are to bring in a 10" achromatic block. See the Color Theory tab for more info.
October 2011
We made wool felt needlecases. All supplies were provided, including the needle (which we kept for our new cases) and the scissors (which we returned). No a witch did not attend the meeting.
