Mindfulness refers to the practice of remembering to bring attention to present moment experience in a non-judgmental and open-minded manner. Mindfulness has been used for thousands of years in spiritual traditions and in the last 40 years practices similar to mindfulness have been used in a number of psychotherapies. In the last 15 years mindfulness practices have become increasingly popular in contemporary psychology and in the literature related to this contemporary use, mindfulness is considered as a meditation practice, a coping skill and a mode of being. Mindfulness can be learnt individually or within group settings and is not limited to any one particular mental, emotional or spiritual approach. During this retreat Mindfulness will be explored from both a Buddhist and psychological perspective, making it useful to people who live modern busy lives. Perfect for new or beginning practitioners.
This retreat provides you with the opportunity to find peace in a frantic world.
Mindfulness is a form of mental trainings. It is NOT:
- a religion, although there may be a spiritual element to the practice.
- about sitting cross-legged on the floor (but you can if you want to), chairs will be provided at every session.
- about emptying your mind, it's about tuning in and becoming more aware or "awake" to what is.
- complicated, nor is it about success or failure. Every persons experience is unique to them and cannot be compared.
This retreat will provide you with the tools necessary to incorporate mindfulness into your everyday living.
How This Wellness Retreat May Benefit You:
1. Quieten the mind and bring awareness to the way you think about life
2. Explore and deepen your meditation practice
3. Relax and refresh
4. Deeply rest and rejuvenate
5. Take peaceful time away from usual routine and surroundings
6. Start to become a human 'being', instead of a human 'doing'
7. Embark on a journey of self-discovery
8. Develop ways of introducing mindfulness into your everyday routine
9. Set your priorities thereby changing or reinforcing your outlook on life
10. Find a community of like-minded people
This retreat is designed to support busy women to slow down and connect with themselves, in beautiful locations, in a fun and supportive way, whilst in the company of other like-minded women.
All your meals are included and most are served at the resort.
Our chefs are experienced and eager to offer you the freshest and most tasteful and healthy meals. From our "table d'hôte" you may choose to eat vegetarian or non vegetarian meals. Just like at a friend's place, there are no menus, yet we make sure to know what you like and dislike!
Meals are served either in the jungle dining room or in the privacy of your own balcony table.
During your retreat you will enjoy a 110 min. Mandi Lulur – Floral Bath
17th century Javanese royal treatment. A traditional body massage followed by a body scrub with turmeric, sandal wood and rice powder, an exfoliation of yogurt to eliminate toxins, and a fragrant blossom bath!
A true royal treatment!

20:00 – 20:30 After Dinner Meditation
Keeping Your body in Mind
This after dinner session uses body scan meditation to help explore the difference between thinking about sensation and experiencing it. Many of us spend so much time living 'in our heads' that we almost forget about the world experienced directly through our senses. The body scan meditation helps to train your mind so you can focus your attention directly on your bodily sensations without judging or analysing what you find. This helps you to see, ever more clearly, when the mind has begun to wander away by itself, so that you gradually learn to 'taste' the difference between the 'thinking mind' and the 'sensing mind'. Body scan can also be used to create an experience of deep relaxation. Lovely to do just before bed.
Day 3 - Tuesday
05:00 Departure for Gunung Batur Bali's most spectacular volcano
Witnessing the sunrise of the volcano Batur during a meditation session is an incredible experience. Following the meditaton session, we serve breakfast and by 08:30 we are ready return to the resort.

Spa Treatments or healer visit or free time
16:00 – 17.30 - Afternoon workshop
Mindful Movement
Use the practice of mindful walking and being in your body to help the mind to continue the process of re-integrating with the body. You'll gradually learn that the body is exquisitely sensitive to emerging unsettling feelings when you are becoming too goal focussed – and this allows you to see how tense, angry or unhappy you become when things don't turn out the way you want. It's an early warning system of profound power and significance that allows you to head off problems before they gain unstoppable momentum.
17:30 Preparation for day of silence tomorrow & trip to Tirta Empul.
19.00 Dinner
Day 4 - Wednesday
07.30 – Group Meditation – start of day of silence

Day 5 - Thursday
07:00 - Optional Morning Yoga (additional cost)
08:00 - Breakfast
09.30 – 11.00 AM - Morning workshop
Re-Balancing our Lives
Explore the close connection between our daily routines, behaviour and mood. When we are stressed and exhausted we often give up the things that 'nourish' us to make time for the more 'pressing' and 'important' things. Begin to use meditation to help you make skillful choices, so you can do more of the things that nourish you, and limit the downside of the those things that drain and deplete your inner resources. This will help you to enter a virtuous cycle that leads to greater creativity, resilience and the ability to enjoy life spontaneously as it is, rather than how you wish it to be.
11:30 AM - Morning activity - Walking the rice fields of Bali
This morning, we will take you on a gentle nature walk, first through a small village (Sakti) and then we will follow the rice field's path all the way to Sari Organic where a delicious lunch will be served.
Spa Treatment or healer visit and/or free time

19:00 Closing Dinner – Bridges Restaurant – Ubud (additional cost)
Day 6 - Friday
07:00 Optional Morning Yoga (additional cost)
08:00 Morning Meditation
09:00 Substantial Farewell breakfast
10.00 - 11:30 Balinese Offering Class

Following the offering class, you will take these offerings to the resort temple and offer them to the Balinese Gods. Allow the process to leave you feeling cleansed and purified ready to join the world again!
12:00 PM End of the program

I may be working at a tech start-up, but that makes me even more fascinated with start-ups that are directly related to my interests. Last week, two very big things happened. One fashion start-up got acquired while another with so much potential (so we thought) shuttered. So how does that happen? Competition? Because that's just the nature of the game? I've been wondering about this for awhile and I don't really have the research or the data to back it up, but I find it to be very very interesting.
Prior to Trunk Club getting acquired by Nordstrom officially, I had been reading about the rumors of this weeks before. Trunk Club is a shopping service for men who don't like to bring themselves to shop at retailers or the mall. The Trunk Club man works closely with a stylist to share what his interests are and what he is most comfortable in and the stylist puts together a "trunk" – some of which you would find above and sends it straight to your doorstep. The items you like, you get to purchase while the ones you don't can be returned back. I thought it was an incredible service. I witnessed someone receiving a trunk once and I wrote about it on Quora. There hasn't been a really great equivalent for it for women other than Stitchfix, which I heard was a hit or miss sometimes. What I'm still trying to figure out is what being acquired really means. What will the Seattle retailer do with the Chicago start-up? How will Trunk Club change itself? How will Nordstrom incorporate themselves into Trunk Club? I have so many questions.
The second big piece of news is that Hukkster shut down last Friday. They had a pretty awful name, but a great idea and supportive backing. The star-up raised $4.5 million dollars in venture capital over the last two years. The start-up which allows users to save items they like on the websites of their favorite retailers and receive notification of when the price has dropped was founded by two former J. Crew employees. Additionally, it was backed by the Winklevoss twins. For an idea that would have gained so much popularity among people – women especially – I am surprised that it only lasted two years.
It's not a bold statement by any means, but I think it's clear that anything can happen in the start-up world. One minute you're here and the next you're gone. It's amazing to be in this industry and I'm learning so much, but I can't wait to see what will happen next in the years to come.

The musical culmination of Pride Month in the Twin Cities brings R&B superstar Kelly Rowland to Loring Park. First with Destiny's Child, and for the past decade as a solo songstress, Rowland's sweet pipes have found their way onto several hit urban collaborations, including "Dilemma" with Nelly and "Motivation" with Lil Wayne. But let's not forget that Kelly's got a sassy dance-floor diva side too, and who better to bring it out than French DJ/producer David Guetta. They hooked up on the churning, sizzling hits "When Love Takes Over" and "Commander," and she'll be commanding all of Loring to dance — though compliance shouldn't be difficult to attain. With DJ Rich B, Spearz, and Sick of Sarah.

Ok, to start out, it isn't selfish to ask for help. I go all over the help forum here and i can honestly say i may have posted as many questions as i've tried to point people in the right direction.
Now to buisness: I actually think your gems/reforges look pretty good. (Granted I am a prot War, so our mechanics are a little different in some area's) but to my knowledge of how stats should balance out you look ok.
Basically you gem for a socket bonus if:
1) It alows for straight mastery (yellow socket), no brainer.
2) It gives a beneficial slot bonus (mastery, maybe stam/parry/dodge, but only if it's a sizeable bonus, 20 or less isn't really worth it in my opinion)
3) you have a VERY solid amount of mastery already, go ahead and throw in a 50/50 gem. I don't know how much that is for pally's though, i would assume it's more than 50% block.
Reforging (note: I don't know if pallys are supposed to have parry/dodge even or not, so i'll just assume you want them about even) your priorities are as follows: mastery>parry/dodge>other stats
1) If it doesn have mastery make it have mastery.
2) If it's a "converted dps piece" ** take the non-mastery stat and use it to balance out your parry/dodge a little
3) If it's Mastery, Parry/Dodge, you can leave it alone or adjust your parr/dodge closer to a ratio of your likeing
** some tanks like to take melee DPS peices with high amounts of mastery and reforge out the dps stat into parry/dodge. (ex: the 359 belt you get from being exhalted with Guardians of Hyjal) They make nice threat increase pieces.
*Enchants: There is actually nothing WRONG with mending, it is more a matter of what gear level you have and what content you are working through.
About you losing your hit/exp and suffering a threat loss, I actually did the same thing not long ago and I'll admit I did experience some minor discomfort for some time afterward, and every now and then a DPS would get a lucky crit in on my miss and get full aggro. But all of this can be overcum by tightening up your rotation a bit and if nescacary asking dps to be a little more concious of there own threat while you're still adjusting. (Embaressing to do as a Tank, I know, but as we all know, "It's always the Tanks fault" ~ every DPS and their mother)
If you have more question i would highly suggest you go here first: http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
In fact i'd go read it if you have some spare time, it's incredibly educational. It is more of a War tank guide, but most of it is a general Tanking guide, and even some of the things that are directly aplied to Warriors are also relatable to other Tank classes. (though there are a few parts that are purely war mechanics) But yeah, go check it out. It's a post by Lognosis

Richard the Adequate
Downtown street magician and comedian entertains the bar crowd
Published: November 20, 2012
I recently came across an old picture of you that appeared to be a press kit photo for a band called Chimo. What can you tell us about Chimo?
Oh my God. Well, I went to Combs College of Music in Pennsylvania. I have a degree in music. I joined the band, spent years on the road in this three-piece band called Chimo. It's a Canadian Eskimo word that means friend. Our drummer was Canadian. He taught me the Canadian alphabet. "A eh? B eh? C eh?" I spent eight years on the road. Met my future wife while touring with them. Basically, divorced the band and married my wife and when I divorced her, I remarried my music. I actually came here originally to work for Disney. I wanted to play in the Disney band. But when I got here I found they had canceled the band and they had canned all their music, everything in the park, except for the marching band they use during the parade. Everything else is canned. There is no more live music there. And that really bothered me. I don't know. I became a magician, basically, because I got tired of saying "You want fries with that?" Yes, I have a degree in music. Is it for here or to go?"
Richard the Adequate perform magic tricks just about every night on the streets of downtown and occasionally does stand-up at the Other Bar. You can find him on Facebook at facebook.com/adequatemagic.com.

January 18, 2012
The University of Michigan (U-M) recently debuted its first diesel-electric hybrid bus and will soon unveil more.Sporting a maize and blue color scheme and new graphic treatment, the 40-foot buses use a roof-mounted battery system to supplement their diesel engines, allowing for better fuel mileage and lower emissions. Officials expect an improvement of 30% over a conventional bus."The addition of hybrid buses to our fleet is another step in our commitment to sustainability," said Keith Johnson, associate director of transportation operations. "By the end of 2012, one in six buses on campus will be a hybrid."Three additional buses will be operational in the fleet by mid-January and three more will be in service this fall. The new buses will begin replacing current buses that run on diesel fuel.Hybrid technology is especially beneficial for vehicles that encounter frequent stop-and-go traffic, like campus buses. When the brakes are applied, a generator converts the energy released from deceleration into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery and used when the bus accelerates.In addition to the new buses, the university has purchased 30 hybrid sedans. The sedans are available to faculty, staff and students for authorized university business travel, both local and long distance.
The university received federal funding to help cover the additional cost of a hybrid over a conventional vehicle.The university operates one of the largest alternative energy vehicle fleets among universities in the U.S., with 545 vehicles running on E-85 fuel, 96 vehicles using bio-diesel, 55 hybrid sedans and 15 all-electric vehicles. Renewable energy sources comprise 16 percent of the total transportation energy at U-M.The university's long-term goal for its fleet is to continue to evaluate the number of vehicles needed in the fleet and when they are due to be replaced Parking & Transportation Services will consider alternative energy, or the most fuel efficient vehicles possible for the vehicle application.

Do you think toughening laws will drive away gangs?
Gangs have been a problem in Chattanooga for 20+ years. Denying their existence was no longer an option. Patrol officers as long ago as 1992 were complaining of the growing problem yet CPD leadership and the city gave it the ostrich treatment. Delusion is a wonderful thing until you wake up. Unfortunately, the delusion of the city leadership goes well beyond this issue.

Belief in autism-vaccine link persists
The study in The Lancet was not "flawed". It was outright fraudulent and the results made up. Britain's General Medical Council found the author of the study guilty of grossly unethical behavior with respect to this study. That is why it was retracted. The connection between autism and the vaccination is that the symptoms of autism appear at the same age that the mmr vaccine is given. It is correlation not causation. Thanks to the anti-vaccination movement children are dying from measles and getting whooping cough in the US. Vaccinations are the greatest public health initiative ever conducted and they continue to keep children healthy.

ConservativeHome: It's time for currency choice – and Douglas Carswell's 10 minute rule Bill on currency reformBy Steven Baker MP, on 6 September 11
Over at ConservativeHome, I have promoted Douglas Carswell's ten minute rule Bill on legal tender laws and currency choice:
People today have unprecedented choice. They can shop around online. They can tune into numerous television and radio channels. They can even decide between different hospitals for medical treatment.
But why are people not allowed to decide for themselves in which currency to transact their business and store their own wealth?
Today, Douglas Carswell introduces a Bill designed to make a range of different currencies legal tender in the UK. It would mean that, with the click of a mouse, people would be able to store wealth and pay taxes in a range of different currencies of their choice.
The BBC are covering it here. Read the full article.
Timely call to open up UK legal tender laws
By Dr Tim Evans, on 6 September 11
According to some media sources Douglas Carswell MP is today brining a bill to the House of Commons that aims to demonopolise the UK's legal tender laws. Very much a sign of the times, I believe you will hear a lot more about this idea in the days and weeks ahead. Already, the BBC has picked it up here.
A Conservative MP is to call for a basket of foreign currencies to be made legal tender in the UK.
Such a move would protect savers by allowing them to hold the currency least likely to be devalued, Douglas Carswell will argue in the Commons.
And it would allow consumers to shop around for the best currency deal – perhaps via a smart phone application – when buying goods in shops or online.

MetroArtWork - Contemporary Art For Everyone
Mon.-Fri. 8am to 4pm PST
De Kooning had painted women regularly in the early 1940s and again from 1947 to 1949. The biomorphic shapes of his early abstractions can be interpreted as female symbols. But it was not until 1950 that he began to explore the subject of women exclusively. In the summer of that year he began Woman I (located at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City), which went through innumerable metamorphoses before it was finished in 1952.
During this period he also created other paintings of women. These works were shown at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1953 and caused a sensation, chiefly because they were figurative when most of his fellow Abstract Expressionists were painting abstractly and because of their blatant technique and imagery. The savagely applied pigment and the use of colors that seem vomited on his canvas combine to reveal a woman all too congruent with some of modern man's most widely held sexual fears. The toothy snarls, overripe, pendulous breasts, vacuous eyes, and blasted extremities imaged the darkest Freudian insights. He also had many paintings that seemed to hearken back to early Mesopotamian / Akkadian works, with the large, almost "all-seeing" eyes.
The Woman paintings II through VI (1952-53) are all variants on this theme, as are Woman and Bicycle (1953; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York) and Two Women in the Country (1954). The deliberate vulgarity of these paintings contrasts with the French painter Jean Dubuffet's no less harsh Corps de Dame series of 1950, in which the female, formed with a rich topography of earth colours, relates more directly to universal symbols.
By 1955, however, de Kooning seems to have turned to this symbolic aspect of woman, as suggested by the title of his Woman as Landscape, in which the vertical figure seems almost absorbed into the abstract background. There followed a series of landscapes such as Police Gazette, Gotham News, Backyard on Tenth Street, Parc Rosenberg, Suburb in Havana, Door to the River, and Rosy-Fingered Dawn at Louse Point, which display an evolution from compositional and coloristic complexity to a broadly painted simplicity.
About 1963, the year he moved permanently to East Hampton, Long Island, de Kooning returned to depicting women in such paintings as Pastorale and Clam Diggers. He re-explored the theme in the mid-1960s in paintings that were as controversial as his earlier women. In these works, which have been read as satiric attacks on the female anatomy, de Kooning painted with a flamboyant lubricity in keeping with the uninhibited subject matter. His later works, such as Whose Name Was Writ in Water and Untitled III, are lyrical, lush, and shimmering with light and reflections on water. He turned more and more during his late years to the production of clay sculpture.
In the 1980s de Kooning was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and a court declared him unfit to manage his estate, which was turned over to conservators. As the style of his later works began to take on an abrupt change, his vintage works drew increasing profits; at Sotheby's auctions Pink Lady (1944) sold for US$3.6 million in 1987 and Interchange (1955) brought $20.6 million in 1989. His wife, the former Elaine Fried, died from lung cancer, aged 70, in 1989.
There is much debate over the relevance and significance of his later paintings, which became clean, sparse, and almost graphic, while alluding to the biomorphic lines of his early works. Some say his mental condition and attempts to recover from a life of alcoholism had rendered him unable to carry out the mastery indicated in his early works, while others see these late works as prophesizing the clean, surface-oriented painters of the 1990s and 21st century - and having a direct correlation to contemporary painters such as Brice Marden. Still others who knew de Kooning personally claim that his late paintings were being taken away and sold before he was able to finish them.

Warren Buffett doesn't usually make market predictions, but in an early July letter to shareholders, the legendary investor offered insights to help them through a treacherous stretch for stocks.
"I think you can be quite sure that over the next ten years there are going to be a few years when the general market is plus 20% or 25%, a few when it is minus on the same order, and a majority when it is in between," Buffett wrote.
"I haven't any notion as to the sequence in which these will occur, nor do I think it is of any great importance for the long-term investor."

Filipino Veterans Reunification Bill Reintroduced in Senate
FilAmStar, News Report, Jun Medina Posted: Jul 02, 2009
WASHINGTON D.C. U.S. Senator Daniel K. Akaka (D-Hawaii) has reintroduced a bill that would speed up the reunification of Filipino World War II veterans who have opted for U.S. citizenship with their children seeking to join them in America.
The Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2009, a companion bill to a similar measure now pending in the House of Representatives, exempts the veterans children, about 20,000 individual in all, from the numerical limitation on immigrant visas.
The bill is co-sponsored by Senators Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii), Edward M. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts), and Maria Cantwell (D-Washington).
In seeking an exemption from the numerical limitation on immigrant visas for the children of the Filipino veterans, our bill will address and resolve an issue rooted in a set of historical circumstances that are now nearly seven-decades old, Senator Akaka said.
The proposed measure does not require any appropriation and will serve to reunite the aging and ailing veterans with their children and honor their too-long-forgotten World War II service to this nation, Akaka said.
Of the 30,000 surviving Filipino World War II veterans, 7,000 are US citizens and live in the United States. Many filed visa petitions for their children who remained in the Philippines.
Now in their 80s and 90s, these veterans continue to wait for their children, who wait 12 or more years to join their elderly parents, Akaka said.
Immediate passage of the bill would be a great gift to the surviving Filipino veterans seek to be with the children in the remaining days of their lives, said the staunch supporter of the Filipino veterans.
Last month, Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) reintroduced a similar bill in the House of Representatives.
HR 2412 or the Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act proposes to exempt the sons and daughters of Filipino veterans from immigration numerical quotas that have delayed processing of their U.S. visas, leaving them no choice but to wait as much as 18 years.
Hirono said thousands of Filipinos petitioned by their veteran parents stand to benefit once the bill is enacted into law.
A staunch supporter of Filipino veterans, Hirono said about 200,000 Filipinos served with American troops during the last world war. According to her, only about 18,000 of those Filipino veterans are alive, including the 7,000 to 8,000 living in the United States, most of them concentrated in California, Hawaii and a few other states with large concentrations of ethnic Filipinos.

While the efforts of the good and ever supportive senators and congresswoman is laudable, this bill is bound to suffer the same fate as the previous years' attempt if it will again be piggy backed on the comprehensive immigration reform bill yet to be filed under the Obama administration. To have a better chance, it should be pushed as a stand-alone bill in the interest of time. Our filipino WW2 veterans are dying faster than the slow pace bills related to them are being addressed. There should not be much issue here since this bill would not entail any costs of funding. Let's see how this will progress and hope this one will get to fruition.-->
