How Can We Help You?
Tutoring in Birmingham
In May of 2013,Tony Mauro and his wife, Michelle, made Birmingham home to one of the first GradePower Learning centers in the United States. Now families in Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair County can discover that GradePower is way beyond tutoring. "When evaluating the various options for supplemental learning, we asked ourselves, 'which model would we be most comfortable with enrolling our own kids?'" said Mr. Mauro, "It was clear to us that basic academic tutoring, simply doesn't work. The GradePower model was the only one that truly made a lasting difference in how children learn. Its methods are well aligned with the family values of our community."
Active vs. passive thinking: Learning to fish vs. giving the fish
As the only learning center of its kind in America, GradePower knows that learning is not a standardized process that can be approached passively; it's a dynamic process that is best fulfilled when students are able to actively engage their entire cognitive potential.
Rather than treat the brain like a database for storing information, we recognize it for what it truly is; a vital organ that needs nurturing, exercise and care. GradePower coaches students on "how to fish" for knowledge, versus simply "giving them the fish" through memorization.
GradePower vs. "tutoring": Whole learning vs. partial memorization
"Tutoring" simply focuses on helping students memorize academic information for purposes of passing a test. GradePower's unique curriculum and cognitive approach offers families much more value than a typical tutoring experience. GradePower helps learners of all ages access their complete array of cognitive resources to retain and apply what they learn.
Our students build the skills and awareness to learn, regardless of who's teaching, where they're learning, or how the subject is being taught. We value the idea of building an active mind that is self-sufficient enough to catch up, get ahead, and stay ahead in any learning environment, GradePower is the only place where you can make this happen!
Our values
Our mission is to help our students achieve their highest potential. Likewise, we extend that philosophy to our role as a corporate citizen.
We help our community achieve its highest potential by supporting its education system.
We help our staff achieve their highest potential through fostering a quality work environment, continuous improvement and full engagement in the GradePower process.
Our process
1. Dynamic Learning Assessments
Learning cannot be standardized. Learning assessments shouldn't be, either. Our assessments uniquely evaluate eight cognitive components (including visual processing, auditory processing and critical thinking skills) along with nine core academic skills.
2. Customized curriculum
Once a student's current skill base is established, GradePower builds an individualized curriculum that reinforces the student's foundational knowledge in reading, writing and math. This ensures they are prepared to receive more advanced material. Tutors are simply not equipped to do this and, instead, attempt to force the advanced material before the foundational skills are fluent.
Our approach ensures that the learning lasts by refining the skills our students need to connect to more advanced concepts. This is the only way to accelerate sustainable progress.
3. Reading, writing and math
A student's ability to learn anything, especially math, is dependent on their ability to comprehend, act and think critically about what they read. Through coaching critical reading strategies that help them process, retain and actively think about what they read, we accelerate our students' reading skills.
If they can master the skill of comprehending and actively thinking about what they're reading in school, they can accelerate their learning in any subject.
Lasting improvement in math begins with recognizing that root cause of most math struggles is a reading comprehension deficit. Tutoring methods that ignore this reality are at best temporary and, at worst, futile. Our math curriculum is extensive, thorough and rooted in active learning methods. From simple addition to calculus, your student will learn math the right way, the first time.
4. ACT and SAT prep
These tests measure academic preparedness for college. However, the college dropout rate is over 50% because students haven't learned the values of planning vs. cramming. In turn, they don't develop the critical thinking and preparation skills to handle the day-to-day rigor of college.
So help your college-bound student learn how to plan vs. cram. Enroll them in a test prep program that truly prepares them for college. In just 2-4 hours a week, your student will not only have time to deepen their understanding of the academic material on the exam, but will realize the value of planning ahead prepare the right way.
Plus, they'll still have time to meet other obligations (homework, extracurricular activities, etc.) without becoming overwhelmed.
5. Progress reviews
We conduct periodic reviews with parents and school administrators to assess progress made and set milestones for continued success. We've met with many schools in the area, who are excited to work with us. We strive to strengthen the family/school partnership through supporting our families and supplementing the great work of our school teachers.
We support all of the schools in our area as proud sponsors of fundraisers and events throughout the year. The following are just some of the schools we actively support: Inverness Elementary, Mt. Laurel Elementary, Oak Mountain Middle School, Oak Mountain High School, Spain Park High School.
If you'd like our help with supporting an education initiative, please email us: email@example.com or give us a call today at 205-980-5745.

Another one here who's wondering why you'd bother posting in WWYD when you already have made up your mind?
Personally, I've rescued an old cat, and cared for her until she passed away, and now have an AWL kitty. I'd be keeping it. But that's just me.
Posted 02 September 2010 - 08:43 PM
Your heartlessness is only topped by the girl that threw those puppies in the river. Are you sure you aren't that poster some time back who had no problems turning a hose on the kitten that obviously needed help ?

Posted 02 September 2010 - 08:56 PM
Oh and in case I came across as a gem of a human, it's kitten season, around the corner from our house 17 unfixed cats were caught a few months back, the cat rescue people are not taking cats (or at least they weren't last time I tried them) and I am pretty desperate to control my indoor/enclosure cat's spraying.
All of mine are strays who I found. I want to keep every single one that I catch but can't.

Don't worry sarita your compassion is clear. I'd be overrun with cats if I could care for them all.
This thread has to be a wind up, the OP has been around for long enough to know what kind of reaction this would provoke.

I don't feel guilty about this cat being PTS. I don't feel sorry for it. In fact I feel zero sentiment toward its plight. We're seriously being overrun by cats at night here.
I'm considering leaving it to fend for itself as it made itself way too comfortable about coming in when I left the door open. It's the way of the animal world.
Well, isn't that just lovely. Fantastic example of kindness you're setting for your children, there. It takes little trouble to give some food, shelter and take it to the vet rather than the pound. Jesus. Poor little thing.
Posted 02 September 2010 - 09:08 PM
In the time it would have taken to log onto the net, type out this topic, reply to a post...you could have had the kitten in, warmed up and fed by now ...just for the night and as pp have mentioned off to the RSPCA in the morning...or the next best place depending on your area...it's a no brainer.
I too hope this is a wind up

I've just been at a meeting and it somehow tracked me down. My post was more a question of whether this cat had decided I was it's new owner IYKWIM. I think it's attrocious that people are clearly dumping domestic cats. It's far from feral and very assertive with its friendliness. We're a bit more laid back around here.
It was fed and watered before I posted but I thought I made it clear that I was trapping and passing them onto the pound. Sorry for the upset, but I was just wondering at how such a cute kitten had such a minor affect on me.
I'm a cat lover but these strays have certainly hardened me up.
Posted 02 September 2010 - 11:00 PM
Look, I simply refuse to believe there is a kitten crying outside your door and you're ignoring it.
I think you're looking for a rise in light of the recent animal threads.
OK I've just seen your previous post. I mean maybe it's picked you? Maybe not. Either way at least try the RSPCA, kittens are easy to re - home.

I am a lover of all animals, but do admit to having a low tolerance to cats. However, I would never ignore any animal, cat or otherwise, that needed to be fed, to be kept warm and safe until the morning, where I could then place it at a shelter.
Even if you do not like animals of any kind, or even a particular kind, human instinct would surely kick in to help a distressed and hungry animal? I could never go to bed knowing there was a hungry and frightened animal at my doorstep.

The feelings I had and dreams and hopes as a child are still an inspiration to me in the present. Dreaming I became a Primaballerina, and travel all around the world and become famous! I believe that a scent is and should be an emotion, a reminiscent of the past, in a blink of an eye , a scent has to give some kind of comfort, recognizability, confidence and subconscious will it tickle your spirit. A scent can bring you back to your own true‐self and can help you make the day a good day, in whatever you want to achieve on that day..!
Here keywords etc that subscribe my ideas and thoughts;
- dressing room: old but beautiful, full of history, pictures of ballerinas ‐
- powdery pink clothes that gave that pretty feeling ‐
- a smell that was combined with an innocent smell in the ballet class and the magnesium you had to put on your ballet shoes. ‐
- Dancing is great for your imagination, often you had to make up a storyline and use your fantasy with it. ‐
- The ballet teacher was a classy lady, pretty face, old but very stylish, she wore a lot of make‐up, like she would go on stage in a minute.
- The black shiny piano was impressive, there was a real pianist that played the piano while the girls were dancing. On the piano were candles
- The music was of course amazing, it took you to another world, a world were everything is possible! You could be anyone you would wanna be in that dance and dream.
- During performing it was magical, the dress, the make‐up etc.
- Dreams
- Fantasy
- Feminine
- Hope
- Innocent
- Romantic feelings
- being someone else in the dance
- strength
- confidence
- matt, powdery pink ballet clothes and the old used leather ballet shoes, so pretty and I can still smell it! ‐
- Green and salty environment because the ballet house was located near the beach but there were still a lot of green trees around the house, in the summertime the windows would be open and you could feel and smell the outside.
I hope that this will inspire you to create a lovely scent that will be loved by many women around the world. So that they maybe feel what I feel in this story, and that it will bring them back to their own dreams and thoughts of and for their dreams and goals in the future!

I have a weakness for cheese. I decided long ago that when I didn't have three roommates, I would make space for one shelf or drawer in the fridge specifically for cheese. Now that I live alone, I have plenty of space to keep many varieties of cheese. Right now, I happen to have three different aged cheeses from Parmigiano Reggiano.

Take for example this Telegraph story: Kim Jong-il's relationships: an unlikely sex symbol.
Relationships? Sex symbol? I don't think "fuck me or I'll kill you and your entire family" can really be described as a "relationship."
Here is how the story starts:
Kim was 8 when his mother, Kim Jong-suk, died in childbirth, according to his official biography, although there are suggestions that his mother died of gunshot wounds.
His loss was made worse when his father remarried, to Kim Song-ae, and the boy and his stepmother quarrelled.
Childbirth, gunshot wounds, one of those two things. It doesn't really matter. The important thing is that he and his stepmother didn't get along. I mean, sure, I understand that the story is attempting to put aside the "kept his entire nation on the brink of starvation" narrative for a moment and examine the sexual psychology of the guy. But does Kim Jong-il really deserve these kind of kid gloves:
Even while they were married, Kim Jong-il was having a relationship with Song Hye-rim, a star of the North Korean cinema, who was married to another man and whom Kim forced to divorce her. Professor Shigemura said Kim was "looking for the love of the mother that he lost."
Aw. How relatable! and
Throughout his relationships, however, Kim was drawn to attractive women and lavish events were staged at his palaces with the most beautiful young women from around the country ordered to dance for his pleasure.
"His senior staff competed to find the prettiest girls so they would be rewarded with better posts," said Professor Shigemura. "They travelled all across the country looking for women."
"Danced". The article goes through his roster of wives and mistresses, all of whom die of natural causes mysteriously young. Then, there's this:
Kim also had a curious relationship with a Japanese magician who went by the name Princess Tenko and Professor Shigemura claims Kim travelled to Tokyo every summer for eight years in the 1980s to meet her. Princess Tenko also went to North Korea twice, in 1998 and 2000, where she met Kim's entourage.
Okay, sure, Princess Tenko. She sound cool. Who doesn't like magic. Then finally, it comes to an end:
Despite his apparent fascination with women, Professor Shigemura said there were no suggestions that he had ever expressed interest in Western women.
Is that supposed to make this article more relevant to me, as a Western woman reader? Or something? Is the Telegraph writer just stunned someone wouldn't want to bang white chicks if given the chance? Whatever it is, the whole thing is WEIRD. Could you imagine the headline "Saddam Hussein's relationships: an unlikely sex symbol"? Also, "apparent fascination" has to be the most euphemistic possible way of describing his officers hunting through the populace bringing him pretty women to "dance" with. C'mon Telegraph.

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show "Drunk History" from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.

Where is the bunny brush
I checked everywhere and still couldn't find the brush. How can I get the brush?
Answer from: Hollyleaf
You don't find the brush. You touch the clipboard, then tap the magnifying glass at the bottom right of the clipboard. Read the problem with the rabbit and tap the correct treatment. (you just guess. you can tap all three until you get it right if you have to.) You are done examining the rabbit. You can use the brush after you talk to the professor.

Haines City Villa Rental Photos and Description
4 bed, 3 bath (2 ensuite) golf home with fantastic outlook - sleeps up to 8
***** BOOK WITH US AND WE'LL PAY THE TAX ***** Our Florida villa is located in a quiet, secure, award winning community only 20 minutes from the Disney attractions. The smartly furnished and highly upgraded villa has an excellent uninterrupted view across the 16th fairway of the nationally rated Southern Dunes Golf Course. The open plan interior of the villa is enhanced by high, vaulted ceilings and stylish decoration, while the private screened pool, spa and patio deck benefit from those beautiful Florida sunsets. Whether visiting the Disney Parks, playing golf, or just for relaxing by the pool, this villa will be a great base for your next vacation. Our 'home' is something special!
Let us make your holiday in Florida's Sunshine State one that you'll always remember for all the right reasons. Please read our 'Guest Book' to get a real feel for how past guests have enjoyed their stay. Now offered with FREE SOLAR POOL HEATING, WiFi, a GAS BBQ, 2 STROLLERS and a GAMES TABLE.
The villa is conveniently located within a 20 minute drive of all the Disney attractions and just 10 minutes drive from the newly opened Legoland. A bank, petrol station, various restaurants and 2 large supermarkets are situated just outside the security gate and 2 major shopping malls are located only a short drive away. On-site facilities include the Championship golf course, a golf clubhouse that provides bar and dining services to golfers and non-golfers alike, basketball and tennis courts, a children's play area and a larger community pool. A nearby fitness suite which has a small multi-gym and cycling and walking machines, etc. is also available to our guests at NO CHARGE. Furthermore, as the community is now fully built and 'sold out' we can guarantee that there will be no noise from any building construction located near our villa - unlike some newer communities!
To ensure that the villa is maintained to a very high standard we regularly visit the home ourselves. It was recently redecorated throughout to provide a clean and fresh look for our guests. Also, there's a 50' Plasma TV and Home Theatre system in the lounge for you to enjoy on those more relaxing evenings. And for the children, there's even a games table to keep them occupied when not enjoying the pool.
A visitors' book comment by the Miller family from Delaware, USA says it all: 'We have been to Southern Dunes four times and this was the superior home. Loved the decor. Being a golfer this villa on the 16th hole was sensational.'
HOW OFTEN DO YOU VISIT THE HOME TO CHECK IT'S CONDITION? We visit at least twice a year to carry out additional maintenance and upgrading that's necessary. When absent we have an excellent management company on hand to take care of any unexpected occurrence.
HOW OLD IS THE VILLA? The villa was built in 1998 and has been lovingly cared for by us since then. Over the period the villa has been maintained to a high standard and is in as good a condition now as when it was built - if not better. Over time the appliances and furnishings have all been replaced and it's been redecorated regularly to keep it looking fresh.
ARE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS CURRENT? We update our photos regularly to show a true representation of the property that you'll stay in.
WHICH DIRECTION DOES THE POOL FACE? It faces south-west and gets the sun from mid morning thro' to sunset.
IS THERE ANY BUILDING NOISE? No, the community is now fully developed.
IS IT SECURE? Yes, it is gated and patrolled 24/7.
WHERE ARE THE NEAREST SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS? A large Walmart & a WinDixie are located just outside the main entrance, together with a gas station and a bank. There's everything that you need within a short walk. There are also fast food and full-service restaurants located closeby.
HOW WELL DOES THE SOLAR POOL HEATING WORK? We have installed more than the recommended number of panels for the size of the pool. It's only in the winter months (Dec. thro' Feb/Mar.) that we would recommend that you consider electric pool heating. At all other times the pool operates at a temperature about 5-6 degrees warmer than a similar non-heated pool. In the winter we also provide a solar blanket to retain the heat overnight.
ARE THERE ANY UNEXPECTED EXTRAS? No, absolutely not. We are completely open about our pricing and the price we quote is the price you pay? If you wish to pay by credit card then our management company charge a 4% fee to cover there costs.
WHAT IS YOUR POLICY ON ANY DAMAGE CAUSED DURING OUR STAY? We strive to ensure that the property is maintained to the same good standard for all our guests. If you were to break a glass, or something similar, then we would put that down to fair wear & tear and there would be no charge to you. If say, the games table cloth was torn or a lamp was smashed then we'd consider that as unacceptable damage. We'd repair or replace it and charge you the cost of doing so. We're as fair as we can be and would always advise you of our findings first.
CAN I GET A REFUND IF I NEED TO CANCEL? We explain our cancellation policy in the contract that you sign. Although the deposit is non-refundable, in certain circumstances we will honor it for up to 2 years, providing you rebook within 12 months.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair accessible
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Allyn and Jenny,
You are very lucky to have such a wonderful home. Thank you for sharing it.
I think your management team/cleaning team appear to do a wonderful job. The villa was impeccably clean. We do not have any complaints/issues indeed on the contrary. I have worked in Customer Service all my life and know that honest feedback is invaluable.
SUPER home and we have had the BEST of times out there. Communication with you has been easy, replies prompt and explanatory and we feel more like we have shared a friends Villa than hired one. We would have no trouble recommending it to anyone.
Thank you again for our family holiday of a lifetime.

If you're Justin Bieber, Carlos Santana or Bob Lutz — and even if you're not — you'll be happy to know that your Fisker Karma will be more fixable in the event of a fender-bender or two, all thanks to parent company Wanxiang.
Last week, Rueters reported that Wanxiang, a Chinese parts supplier, had won the bankruptcy auction for Fisker Automotive. The bid was valued around $149.2 million. The deal comes to close after a bidding war between Wanxiang and Hybrid LLC — a group who includes Richard Li, a Fisker investor and Hong Kong billionaire. In November, Fisker asked for Hybrid Technology LLC to purchase the bankrupt company for $25 million, but creditors objected the deal in November and brought Wanxiang into the case in December.
Today Delaware, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross approved of the sale to Wanxiang. He stated that the auction "shows that a fair process is a good thing."
(Read More…)
Fisker did put its entire workforce, all 200 of them, on furlough, "while it continues to search for a strategic partner," Reuters says. That search is not going so well. And quite possibly, the workforce will never come back. (Read More…)
When Henrik Fisker left last week, all we knew was that he "disagreed on business strategy" with the management, code for "board-room brawl, founder leaves in a huff." Now we know where the disagreement was. It was whether to ask Uncle Sam or Auntie Zhang for money. (Read More…)
Not Dongfeng, but China's Geely currently looks best positioned to profit from U.S. government largesse by buying beleaguered and DOE-funded plug-in car maker Fisker, Reuters reports. According to the report, "Zhejiang Geely Holding Group is favored to secure a majority stake in troubled U.S. electric car maker Fisker Automotive, according to two sources familiar with Fisker's search for a strategic investor or partner."
Also according to the report, red flags are sure to flutter over Fisker's HQ in Anaheim, as Fisker "is currently weighing bids from two Chinese auto makers: Geely, the owner of Sweden's Volvo, and state-owned Dongfeng Motor Group Co."

It isn't often one of the biggest news items coming out of NAIAS 2013 is from a tuning house … especially a tuning house nobody has ever heard of before. Attach the name Bob Lutz to a car, along with a brand new, fire breathing, tire shredding 6.2L LT1 V8 from the new Corvette, you are bound to turn some heads. Oh, and they wedged it into a Fisker Karma.
That's Maximum to the Bob.
Fisker put production of its Karma plug-in hybrid on hold. Reason: It is running out of batteries. Bankrupt battery manufacturer A123 Systems has cut its output. (Read More…)
Fisker wanted to sell its $100,000-plus Karma plug-in hybrid in China by the end of this year. It's not happening. Fisker "encountered a slight delay in obtaining final certification to sell cars in China" spokesman Roger Ormisher told Reuters. The company now targets "the first quarter of next year to take advantage of China's rapidly growing market for luxury cars." Good luck with that. (Read More…)
Fisker concluded its investigation into the fire that consumed one of their Karmas in Woodside, CA. According to a Fisker statement, neither the Lithium-ion battery pack, nor "new technology components, engine component packaging or unique exhaust routing of the Fisker Karma" were responsible for the conflagration. Rather, it was a lowly cooling fan, that, well, overheated. In the guessing game for the fire's cause, TTAC's independent accident investigator Ronnie Schreiber came closest when he suspected a low voltage unit.
A recall of approximately 2,400 Fisker Karma has been initiated. (Read More…)
Henry Ford was no gifted artist, yet he made a car worthy of the common man. William Durant didn't especially like cars, but created a marketing and distribution empire that inspired us all. And while Henrik Fisker's car-centric life isn't fully wikipedia'd, the first creation of the company that bears his name is an object of wonder and inspiration. The Fisker Karma, like every concept from any auto show, is a dream car: flaws and compromises intact. (Read More…)

As a physical therapist, I'm the go-to guy when my buddies' bodies start to fail them. Just last week, my friend Tony called complaining of upper-back pain after his last few workouts. When he described his weight-lifting program, the problem was obvious to me.
Tony was building muscle in a completely unbalanced fashion. Not only did 80 percent of his muscle-building routine consist of pushing motions (bench, incline press), but most of his gym time was directed at his chest and shoulders. And he'd been doing it for years. The back pain was his body's way of begging for a new workout.
As I explained to him, your body and its joints are held in place by opposing muscle groups (for example, chest and back, quads and hamstrings). These groups work together to control movement. If one becomes stronger or tighter than normal, that dominant muscle group will overwork its counterpart—that is, you'll have a muscle imbalance. You don't want a tug-of-war between muscles every time you move. Nagging discomfort can mean you're at a much greater risk of injury.
Tony came to me too late—he needed a ton of time and work to undo the damage he'd done. For you, the key is to check yourself before you wreck yourself. You must identify and repair imbalances before they cause pain. That's what the following self-tests and corrective strategies are for.
For each muscle imbalance the self-tests reveal, perform the stretches twice a day—for instance, first thing in the morning and after your workout. Complete the entire corrective program for each imbalance three times a week until you can pass the test. You can also do these as a warmup before your regular workout.
Lie on your back on the floor with your hands behind your head. Let your arms relax. They should lower to the floor and rest comfortably. If they don't . . .
YOUR PROBLEM IS . . . protracted shoulders. You look more like Notre Dame's hunchback than like one of its defensive linemen.
THE CAUSE: You've spent too much time training your "mirror muscles" (pectoralis major and minor), on the front side of your body, while neglecting your upper-back muscles (middle trapezius and rhomboids).
Step 1: Stretch your pecs. Holding a pair of 5- or 10-pound dumbbells, lie faceup on a 10-degree incline bench and lower the weights out to the sides with your arms extended. Hold for 30 seconds.
Step 2: Strengthen your middle trapezius and rhomboids. Follow the above stretch with a prone dumbbell lateral raise. Lie chest down on the same bench you just used to stretch your pecs. Raise the dumbbells out to the sides and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for a count of six and lower the weights to the starting position. Do a total of six repetitions.

Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts.

Happiness as the Ultimate Currency
Detox to the Rescue: A Post-Holiday Cleanse
So you put on a pound or five over the holidays… Do you feel a like a sausage squeezed into your clothes? Most of us indulge in the delectable offerings of the season, usually laden with saturated fats, dairy, sugar, and white flour. In excess, these foods create congestion or metabolic waste that leaves us feeling sluggish, heavy, bloated, tired, achy, irritable, and/or depressed. Just as our automobile perks up after a tune-up, we can revitalize with a detox.
Whether you call it cleansing, detox, purification, or fasting, eliminating metabolic waste from the body is an ancient practice. All of the major religions include some form of fasting as a vehicle for well-being and spiritual awakening.
Fasting has a profound effect on all levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Increased vitality, mental clarity, and weight loss are typical detox results. Fasters often experience lasting relief from allergies, arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, and addictions to sugar, caffeine, and nicotine as well as gaining deeper insight and a sense of joy. Fasting is considered by many to be the single most effective method of healing chronic disease.
What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is the oldest continuously practiced health-care system in the world. Drawn from an understanding of nature's rhythms and laws, Ayurveda is built around the five elements of ether, air, fire, water, and earth.
It is understood in Ayurveda that humans, as natural beings, are governed by the same rules and laws as all other natural beings. If we choose to ignore these laws, then imbalances will begin to appear. These imbalances are the precursor to disharmony and disease in the mind and body. This system of medicine understands our deepest connections with the whole universe and the influences of the energies that make up this universe. We are considered a microcosm of the macrocosm.
Balancing Act: A Conversation with Jack Kornfield
Meditation Lets Us Look Inside Ourselves to See the Whole World
Jack Kornfield, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, author, and one of the most well-known teachers of Buddhism in the West. He's a founding teacher of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and Spirit Rock Center in California. Here, he talks about meditation, his signature loving-kindness practice, an upcoming Kripalu retreat, and why he loves to teach.
What's at the core of the trainings you teach? The trainings are centered in equanimity and balance—it's the training of the heart and mind to stay balanced. I teach a series of steps for equanimity, beginning with reflections on the vastness of time and changing circumstances, ever-changing winds of gain and loss, praise and loss, pleasure and pain. Training has to do with reflecting on the value of keeping a peaceful heart and envisioning others with compassion. We realize that people can love enormously, and that you can't love on behalf of someone else; we try to understand the limits of love. It's also using a series of deep intentions: May I live with peace in the joys and sorrows of the world. May you find peace.

The Nutritional Benefits of Grains
Grains have a wealth of benefits to offer, from fiber to plant proteins to phytonutrients and B vitamins. There is a caveat, however. You can only reap these benefits if you're eating whole grains.
When grains are refined (a process in which the outer bran and inner germ are removed), they can be made into a wide variety of cheap foods that will last almost indefinitely, but deliver few nutrients. Refined grains act more like sugar in the body, which may make them easy to overeat. But as you make the switch to whole grains—and become more attuned to what real foods taste like—you can savor the fullness of a whole grain right down to the flavor of its germ. Your body, and your taste buds, will thank you.
You may have heard a lot about gluten lately, the protein responsible for the wonderful chewy texture of breads and other baked goods. It's true that many people are sensitive to gluten, which has helped spark a deep exploration of gluten-free grains like millet and amaranth, and alternative sources for flour, like coconuts and garbanzo beans. But for the majority of us who digest gluten well, wheat, rye, and other whole grains with gluten remain a wonderfully healthful choice.
With a bit of inspiration and a willingness to get creative, it's easy to tune into the allure of whole and gluten-free grains, and discover the ones you love best.
Forging a New Path with Sadie Nardini
There are times when a radical change of course is necessary in life. The old way just isn't working anymore; a new approach is required. We don't know where we're headed, but we know it's time to forge a new path. Transformation is imminent.
I was at such a juncture a couple of years ago. Newly divorced and living 10 minutes from my ex-husband, I felt stuck in my past. Surrounded by reminder after reminder of my former life, I felt the need to alter my geography to jumpstart a transformation. With a hearty dose of trepidation and anticipation, I left Boston and moved to Los Angeles.

The environment of the Bayou, was like nothing I have ever experienced in the USA before. I was blown away by its beauty. Trust me when all you've seen of the States is NYC and LA, this place was a hidden gem. The people were so laid back, relaxed and kind. The town was sleepy and their wooden architecture was homely and rustic. Their houses were enviably large with wrap-around verandas and their inhabitants had ample space to lead good quality lives. Being here made it hard to imagine returning to London-living where most central dwellings are stacked one on top of the other. Cajun men wore the cowboy hats and boots, desirable fashion we pay a fortune for on The Kings Road in London! Their culture was a mind-boggling mix. They spoke an adapted version of French yet were influenced by an old Native American heritage, which somehow seemed so contrasting to me, but was perfectly summarised by their popular saying, 'Laisser les bons temps rouler' – 'Let the good times roll'!
Celebrate New Orleans, from Mardi Gras to Jazz Fest!
I felt fantastically privileged to finally understand Cajun cuisine firsthand. Supermarkets back home have always stocked rows and rows of sauces, mixed spices and pre-marinated bbq meats (particularly chicken) that have all been prepared using Cajun influences, developed over generations. Yet the Cajun culture was probably the most advanced of all the indigenous people we had met. The welcome dinner was held in a very cosy venue, with warm lighting and television – luxuries we often had to do without whilst filming in the other remote locations of previous episodes. The funniest part of the shoot occurred on the night of the Superbowl. Being from England, I didn't fully understand how important this event was to Americans. Crew members kept taking sneaky peaks of the game, which was on in the background.
Out of all the proteins hunted on this series, the turtle was the hardest thing to swallow. I had made a pact with myself that I would not try it, because I felt uneasy about hunting such a gentle-natured, prehistoric looking animal. However, after Michael had prepared his turtle meal, I felt I had to eat some in its honour. Turtles are an important source of protein for the Cajuns, just as beef and chicken are in the UK. On a lighter note, it was funny watching Kayne peeling his mountain of Crawfish, he had had a number of dishes in mind to cook for the challenge, but didn't realise how time-consuming shelling them would be. Ironically, our episode wrap dinner that night was a crawfish party, so again, Kayne spent the evening shelling yet more of them. At least he had the pleasure of consuming them himself this time, and boy were they delicious.
Find out why New Orleans is called the "City of the Dead."
The most challenging part of this trip for me was the jet lag. By this stage we had flown around the world and back, shooting other episodes and I had suffered surprisingly little jet lag so far, but in Louisiana, it had finally caught up with me. I felt extreme lethargy, almost to the point of feeling nauseous – I wonder whether its obvious on camera!? Nevertheless, the highlight of the episode was seeing an alligator up close and personal, basking in the sun on a fallen log! There had been so many false alarms (because fallen logs often look very much like alligator backs) while travelling along the swamps of the Bayou, so when I finally saw one, I snapped away, with my camera, that is!

Jan 31, 2012An interesting title and with good potential, but it drowns in defects we can't ignore, like the badly balanced difficulty and a bad ui in the menus. You could however consider it if you're looking for a more serious Kinect sports game.
Dec 23, 2011It's winter time and it means cold-based sports game, better enjoyed with move sensors like Kinect, Move or Wiimote! Long time veterans like 49Games could be ready for their bigger and better game, if so many flaws weren't in.
Dec 21, 2011Winter Stars is another one of those games that looks great but unfortunately its gameplay is mediocre. The title does feel a little dated because of the unresponsive controls and overall, the gameplay was more frustrating than rewarding for us.
Nov 21, 2011You can stay busy in the pretty lengthy career mode, where you're competing in tournaments, unlocking various disciplines, and following a well-meaning but rough storyline. And there's local split-screen and online multiplayer supporting up to four players, but good luck convincing anyone else to join you in this seasonal depression.
Dec 21, 2011There are better ways of spending your time during the cold winter months than playing Winter Stars.
Jan 10, 2012It ranges from boring and stupid to totally incomprehensible, and neither end of the spectrum amounts to any fun at all. [Issue#80, p.87]
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 1 out of 2
Dec 11, 2013Career mode is a lot fun. Humorous character development, nice diversity of winter sports. Best played swapping events with a friend; a bit tiring to play through by yourself and very difficult to master all of the events.
As I say with most kinect games; would like it if the controls were more natural; more like you were really doing the event.… Expand
Mar 25, 2013I bought this game from a bargain bin for about 20 dollars, yet this feels too much for a game rattling with flaws. First of all the menu is an abomination. You need the steady hand of a marksman to highlight the menu feature that you want and then the finesse of a blind massage to select anything. For some unknown reason the Xbox controller is disabled so you will spend much of your time performing Jedi mind tricks just to get beyond the menus. The sports on offer are good but broken. For some reason the game will run itself but then when you want to actually have any input it assumes you are a drunk fool and mimics your lack of coordination. The one positive is the length of the sports. Particularly the ski then shoot target game, that is okay when the moons align around Jupiter long enough for the player to finish the challenge. 3/10.… Expand
