Love these flats!
"I bought these shoes in the brown last year and loved them! I was always telling myself that I wished I had a pair in black, so imagine my excitement when I looked at DSW and found them! In fact, I even bought a second pair of the brown ones since I've had foot surgery and my feet are more narrow than before. These flats are super comfy and go with EVERYTHING! And, you can't beat the price. I would buy them again and again in EVERY color!"

Cute but slightly big
"I just received these shoes and they run slightly long and slightly wide. I am going to try and exchange them for a smaller size (i am thinking just a half size smaller) and really hope they fit because they are super cute! Not sure about the comfort or the quality yet but i will update my review after I've had some time to tell."

Ruined leather?
"I love these shoes! This is my second pair after finally wearing out my originals that I bought 2 years ago. However, I have to send these in for an exchange as it appears the leather was ruined on one shoe. Seems a bit wrinkly and liquid damaged? Otherwise this is a great show and breaks in very easily. Highly recommended!"

Salem Hospital Officials Discuss National Rural Health DaySalem Township Hospital Administrator Stephanie Hilton-Siebert says the purpose of National Rural Health Day goes deeper than just providing free testing and information on hospital services. She reports there is a concern that rural health care remains a priority as major changes and shifts occur in health care.
"The biggest thing that we are going to see is an influx of people that are going to have access to care. They're going to have some type of health insurance through the health insurance exchange that are currently not insured. So as we bring a lot more people into the system who are not receiving care now, we have to make sure that we have care providers who are available to do that", said Hilton-Siebert.
And Hilton-Siebert says there are financial concerns as well. "Some of the smaller facilities that you see that don't serve a large population, it's going to be hard for them to survive because they are experiencing cuts and we have the delay of payments, especially looking at Medicaid. We're looking at over the year that we haven't been paid in some of those areas. In looking at the dollar amount, there are just some hospitals that just can't exist with that. We want to make sure that we don't have people drive 100-miles to have simple health care", said Hilton-Siebert.
Hilton-Siebert says there is work being done on the state level to try and fix some of the problems with medicaid.

As consumers today, we're very lucky in some respects. The crisscross networks of our global village provide things our ancestors could only dream about, such as oranges in December. On the other hand, as we shed our rural roots, we tend to lose sight of the seasonal rhythm of life, relying heavily on processed foods and a worldwide distribution system that makes our grocery shelves look pretty much the same year-round. The out-of-season produce we buy has often traversed 1,000 miles or more by the time it reaches our kitchens—with a corresponding loss of flavor and nutrition and an increase in wax coatings, chemical ripening agents, and other preservatives.

Nourishing your family's health and growing appetite are probably among your highest priorities. You can satisfy both priorities with kale, the super food that should be on everyone's grocery list. Kale is called a "super food" because it packs more nutrition per calorie than almost any other food. Unfortunately many people haven't a clue how to prepare the stuff usually seen only as garnish beside the onion rings. Follow these simple instructions for delicious, tender, steamed kale: 1. Select dark green crisp leaves. 2. Wash kale in cold water to remove sand or dirt. 3. Fold the kale in half, lengthwise, hold the base of the stem and rip the leaves from the stem. 4. Chop leaves and add to a steamer basket and place in a pan of boiling water, filled just to the base of the basket, and cover. 5. Steam for about 4-5 minutes, then check for tenderness. 6. Kale cools rapidly, so enjoy immediately. You can eat it plain, spritz it with soy sauce, sauté it with garlic and olive oil, or toss it into soups. Use it in place of cooked spinach in your favorite recipes. Even kids like kale--especially if you start them on it young. Prepare as directed, then mince very finely. Serve it plain or mix it with some whole wheat pasta and they'll gobble it right up. If that doesn't work, try tossing it into their favorite soup.
There are a lot of things that can conspire to keep you up all night: The slumping markets. The rising prices. That recurring nightmare about being chased down the street by Steven Tyler's lips. But if you're having trouble getting a good night's sleep, here's a culprit you might not have looked at: Your diet. Turns out that plenty of late-night snacks can actually interfere with sleep—and conspire to make you gain more weight than you should.It's true: When food keeps you awake at night, it's actually doing a double-whammy on your tummy. In a study from Wake Forest University, adults younger than 40 who slept 5 hours or less gained more abdominal fat over a 5-year period than those who slept for 6 or 7 hours a night. (You think Jimmy Kimmel looks like that by accident?) And worse, in a recent study from the European Heart Journal, researchers found that people who sleep fewer than 6 hours a night are at a higher risk for certain health conditions such as heart disease and stroke.What are these late-night dietary double-crossers? And how can you tweak your diet so you not only burn calories day and night, but get the added fitness burst of a good night's sleep? Eat This, Not That! has (tirelessly) compiled a list. Let's find out...
WORST LATE-NIGHT DINNERBeef Ribeye (8 oz)565 calories33.5 g fat (13 g saturated)
If you eat dinner late, avoid big, fatty beef cuts. They digest slowly, which means your body has to keep active when you want it to be in shutdown mode. Plus, the heavy dose of protein will pump you full of tyrosine, an amino acid that triggers neurons in your brain to become more active. That's not something you want before you nod off. If you must appease your grumbling, stick with poultry as your main meat. The tryptophan in turkey and chicken induces serotonin, a compound that plays an instrumental role in regulating sleep cycles. And the bun that holds the chicken? That helps, too. An Australian study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that starchy carbs—like the ones in bread—can bolster the tryptophan and serotonin spikes.

Tell me about the novel shantaram?
Asked by Sumit Malode, 08 Sep '08 07:41 pm
Earn 10 points for answering
Answers (1)
Shantaram is a famous novel written by Gregory David Roberts. It is based on the story of the author himself who was sentenced to 19 years imprisonment in Australia for armed robberies. But he had escaped from an extremely high security prison in Australia in July 1980. He became Australias most wanted criminals for the next ten years. He spent these ten years in Mumbai. The novel basically traces his story in Mumbai. The epic tale traces the slums and the five star hotels of Mumbai, romance, underworld mechanics, Bollywood and other things that were associated with Mumbai at that period.Answered by arunraj vs, 08 Sep '08 07:41 pm

Lovin' The WiFi!
By John DeNardo | Wednesday, July 6th, 2005 at 9:51 am
Does anyone else enjoy being out on the road, turing on your mobile device (in my case a PDA) and finding a free WiFi connection? I love when that happens. Of course, the free WiFi connections I find are usually free networks set up by the establishments I'm visiting, and not, say, coming out of someone's home.
Resource tip: Find free WiFi connections in your area, moocher!

A new study finds that an increase in concealed carry permits has accompanied a decrease in murder. (AP)
A dramatic spike in the number of Americans with permits to carry concealed weapons coincides with an equally stark drop in violent crime, according to a new study, which Second Amendment advocates say makes the case that more guns can mean safer streets.
The study by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that 11.1 million Americans now have permits to carry concealed weapons, up from 4.5 million in 2007. The 146 percent increase has come even as both murder and violent crime rates have dropped by 22 percent.
"When you allow people to carry concealed handguns, you see changes in the behavior of criminals," said the center's president, John R. Lott, a Fox News contributor. "Some criminals stop committing crimes, others move on to crimes in which they don't come into contact with victims and others actually move to areas where they have less fear of being confronted by armed victims."
"When you allow people to carry concealed handguns, you see changes in the behavior of criminals."- John R. Lott, Crime Prevention Research Center
- John R. Lott, Crime Prevention Research Center
Increasing gun ownership, litigation and new state laws have all contributed to the rise in concealed carry permits. In March, Illinois became the 50th state to begin issuing concealed weapons permits. But the cost and other requirements for obtaining the permits varies greatly, from South Dakota, where a permit requires $10, a background check and no training, to Illinois, where the cost of obtaining a permit comes to more than $600 when the fee and cost of training programs are taken into account.
Six states don't require a permit for legal gun owners to conceal their weapons, and Lott notes those states have some of the lowest violent crime rates in the nation.
The real measure of the deterrent effect of concealed carry permits, according to Lott, is not laws on the books, but the percentage of a given state's population that holds the permits. In 10 states, more than 8 percent of adults hold concealed carry permits, and all are among the states with the lowest crime rates. Lott claims his group's analysis shows that each one percentage point increase in the adult population holding permits brings a 1.4 percent drop in the murder rate.
"We found that the size of the drop [in crime] is directly related to the percentage of the population with permits," Lott said.
Between 2007 and the preliminary estimates for 2013, murder rates have fallen from 5.6 to 4.4 per 100,000.
Tod Burke, a former police officer and a professor of criminal justice at Radford University, in Radford, Va., said he doesn't buy the idea that gun permits are driving the reduction in crime. Burke said several factors, including smarter, "data-driven" policing and increased incarceration of violent criminals likely play a bigger role.
"I think we have to be cautious about having a causal relationship between gun permits and a decrease in crime," Burke said. "[Lott's] theory is one to consider, but not to the exclusion of others."
The report is the first tally of concealed carry permit holders since a survey in 2011 by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that 8 million Americans held them.
The total of 11,113,013 Americans who currently hold concealed carry permits represents 4.8 percent of the total adult population. But the center stated that the number of concealed carry permit holders is likely much higher, because numbers are not available for all states that issue permits, such as New York. Additionally, four states and the majority of Montana do not require that residents have a concealed handgun permit to carry within the state, so the number of residents who carry a concealed weapon is not recorded.
Florida has the most active concealed carry permits, at nearly 1.3 million. Texas is second, at just more than 708,000, while Hawaii, at 183, has the fewest of states whose data was available.
Earlier this year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that California must allow law-abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms in public, striking down the core of the state's permit system for handguns. The judges found in a 2-1 holding that San Diego County's rule that residents must show "good cause" -- and not merely the desire to protect themselves -- to obtain a concealed-weapons permit, violated their constitutional rights.

If the NRA ( and others ) would work with the government , and I mean actually try to help the situation then just maybe we could get some laws passed that would actually do some good. IMO the NRA is one of the most damaging organizations in this country, and is keeping us from actaually doing somehting that will help, while still allowing the people who deserve to own guns to do so. At some point, and it may be 5 years form now or 50 years from now, if things don't improve , the governemt will have no choice but to make owning a gun illegal. At some point, it will have to come to that

Stephen Colbert The Real Stephen Colbert Will Be Perfect at This
He's the new host of The Late Show. And now that he's finally allowed to be himself, he might go down as the best ever.
Byon April 10, 2014
Stephen Colbert was named the new host of The Late Show today. He'll be taking over for the best host in the history of the whole idea, David Letterman, at some point in 2015.
It won't be Stephen Colbert, the incredulous, xenophobic piece of fiction that caricatured the worst of all of us.
It will be Stephen Colbert, himself, who will win over every good soul in America by being himself.
There are already folks who are nervous about the loss of Stephen Colbert, the character. NPR's Linda Holmes wrote about her fear of losing a minor national treasure to a stuffy, old concept in a stuffy, old studio up in midtown Manhattan.
"I'm unable to avoid the feeling that this is an innovative guy going to a very not-innovative job, and it bums me out," she says.
But that's exactly why he'll be great at this. Colbert was able to poke little holes of sincerity where they didn't seem possible. There is no better TV moment than when Stephen Colbert is at his most genuine.
There isn't a realer person than Stephen Colbert as his whole, entire self.
Watch him struggle to get through the end of this segment. The joke is just okay. But it is impossible not to be happier after watching this clip. It will punch a smile onto your face.
Imagine if he can do that within the conventions of an old, outmoded monologue?
He will be able to drag the funny, kicking and screaming, out of a stodgy late night show on the world's most watched (and statistically oldest) TV network.
Then he'll have the world in the palm of his hand to do the same make-the-world-a-better-place-to-be-alive-in stuff he was doing on Comedy Central. But he'll do it with a bigger audience — and a more influential one — now rapt and charmed.
Don't get it confused, by the way. Colbert didn't want to be in this character forever. He was just good at it.
He talked to Meet the Press about why his kids can't watch his show. He said he didn't want them to take his character seriously because it would blur the lines of reality at home.
"I'm gonna tuck them into bed one night and they're gonna say, 'That's good, dad. That's very dry,'" he says.
That was seven years ago.
Now they can watch him all they want. And they can listen just as seriously as the rest of us have been for all of these years.
Here's the best part: Because he's been hiding behind a character for a decade now, not many people know how poignantly and beautifully this man can speak when he is allowed to be himself.
He dropped his character to speak to his alma mater, Northwestern, at a commencement ceremony in 2011. He joked around a lot, kidded about piercings and the bad economy, but then he ended on this:
"In my experience, you will truly serve only what you love, because, as the prophet says, service is love made visible.
If you love friends, you will serve your friends.
If you love community, you will serve your community.
If you love money, you will serve your money.
And if you love only yourself, you will serve only yourself. And you will have only yourself.
So no more winning. Instead, try to love others and serve others, and hopefully find those who love and serve you in return."
CBS gets the guy who says stuff like that now. They get a world-beater. They get a familiar face with a brand new, intensely positive view of life on this planet. The Late Show isn't a perfect fit for a guy like that — one who's trying to make the world a little bit better while making you laugh as hard as you can.
But he'll make it a perfect fit. Stephen Colbert, the character, wasn't the perfect fit for Stephen Colbert, the person, these last nine years, either. All that got him was a hosting gig at The Late Show.
Now he'll get to be himself. And he'll be the best in the world at it.

Except that this time, he took out Schumi after his best qualifying with M-B yet. I wonder if Schumi had a word with him after he blamed him for the collision.
M-B were actually screwed by how much they were heating up the intermediates... compared for instance with the Saubers. And while Schumacher was the class act in Canada last year in the semi-wet conditions, on a big circuit with long straights and high hear like Malaysia, the Mercedes had no real pace. Still, he brought it back to a point finishing position (reminded me of the good old days, when you could almost kind on a certain number of retirements ahead of you for some sweet points), but it was a shame to not see what he could've done had he not lost 10 places or whatever it was. I estimate 6th at least (Senna was quick, btw). Also, where was Nico R today? seemed to be heading backwards on purpose almost.
Neh, Button admitted it was his own fault. It was a clumsy move from him on a damp track.
Vettel instead calling KAR a cucumber...
Also stewards penalized KAR for colliding with VET, which I do not understand. KAR was going straight out of the corner, VET was following, then VET passed and cut in front of KAR without ample of space. If I have to place a penalty, I'd put it on VET instead, its was an avoidable accident until VET move across.

My Introduction To The Internet
This is 1994 calling ...
Posted on: 21/04/2014 By: Steffi Lewis
Way back in 1994, I was working for The Open University as an IT trainer. I loved running courses there and they had very well equipped training rooms. I used to teach faculty members how to use Windows, Word, Excel and PowerPoint and I loved being the centre of attention for a whole day ...
Of course it was about the students and getting my knowledge into their heads and I was very good at it. My courses had a long waiting list and it felt great to see people on the intro course and then have them return for the intermediate and advanced ones a few weeks later.
One morning I was sitting at my desk in the training room planning that day's course, when my Training Manager David walked in and said "next week, I'd like you to run the Introduction to The Internet course." I looked at him and said "Internet? What's that then David?"
Of course I had email but back then I'd never heard of the World Wide Web, of Veronica's or Gopher's and the term Internet wasn't in common usage. David said I should come in the next day and sit in on this week's course then I could get a feel for it. If I liked it - and the first course I ran went well - then I could take over and run it every week which meant an extra four training days a month and at rate of £250 per day, this was an offer not to be refused!
So the next day I sat in on the course, lurking at the back of the class whilst the trainer taught, watching in awe at this thing called The Internet. Nothing that revolutionary at first, but what really got my attention was when the trainer started to demonstrate the World Wide Web. To say that was a defining moment in my life is a complete understatement.
"Tim Burners-Lee - the inventor of the Web - had just claimed his next convert!"
I could immediately see the benefits of this method of grouping pages of information together under a domain name and linking them together. It was beautiful in its simplicity.
I took over the course a couple of weeks later and found more and more cool things to do with the Internet and in particular the World Wide Web. I even taught myself to write web pages using raw HTML which meant we created a couple more courses to teach OU staff how to do it too! I loved being a trainer!
A few months later, David told me that he was changing roles and was moving to a different faculty and would I be interested in working with him there on a number of projects? I immediately said yes and overnight doubled the number of days I was freelancing with the Open University.
I am very proud to say that in 1994, I created my first complete website for a course called MU120 - which was about mathematics - and my site ran alongside the BBC2 television series. It even had some early QuickTime movies built into it and became a template for course websites throughout the OU for a number of years. What was even more amazing is that it was still available over 10 years later! Guess they liked it and felt no need to change it.
From my first website for The Open University to sblogit.com in less than 20 years!"
Well, there were a lot of steps in between - and I'm sure I'll write about them in future posts, however for the time being I'm just going to smile at the simplicity - and effectiveness - of my first ever website.
Love, light and logic ...

Nikon D3300 Review -- Now Shooting

04/30/2014: Part II: Wowed by the kit lens and AF, less so the limited controls
05/13/2014: Image Quality Comparison
When we announced our Camera of the Year award winners back in 2012, our pick of the crop among entry-level interchangeable-lens cameras was the Nikon D3200, a great little camera with lots to recommend it to beginners and amateur photographers alike. Great as it may be, though, the camera market has come a long way in the almost two years since the D3200 shipped, and so it was clearly time for an upgrade. And in the form of the Nikon D3300 that upgrade has arrived.
From the outset, it's clear that the Nikon D3300 is a new camera. Sure, the basic control layout is almost unchanged, but the D3300 sports a brand-new body incorporating carbon fiber, which is at once just slightly smaller, and designed to offer better ergonomics. The reduction in size comes in at 0.1 inch (3mm) in width, and 0.2 inches (5mm) in depth.
On the inside, Nikon's dropped the resolution-sapping optical low-pass filter. That's an interesting decision in a camera aimed at consumers. We've seen plenty of mid-range and high-end cameras shunning the OLPF in favor of a slight boost in resolution, but it comes at a potential price -- increased risk of moiré and false color artifacts. That may be a worthwhile tradeoff for enthusiasts and pros, but we find ourselves doubtful that the average consumer will even notice the subtle resolution improvement. They're far more likely to notice hard-to-remove moiré patterns, though. (Although in fairness, we don't see these in real-world subjects quite as often as we'd once feared -- fine repeating patterns such as fabrics, fences, window blinds, and water ripples seem to be the most frequent offenders.)
The Nikon D3300's sensor is coupled with an EXPEED 4 image processor, a development first seen in the pricier D5300. When compared to the EXPEED 3 chip of the D3200, the D3300 can now shoot still images at five frames per second, up from 4fps in the earlier model. It also allows for Full HD (1080p; 1,920 x 1,080 pixel) video capture at a 60fps rate, where its predecessor was limited to 24 or 30fps. That allows for smoother motion, or for a 0.5x slow motion effect without reducing the frame rate beyond that of the older model.
We're especially keen to see how the newly-expanded ISO range stacks up in our ISO testing, as Nikon dramatically raised the camera's maximum expanded sensitivity to encompass everything from ISO 100 to 25,600 equivalents. In fact, the D3200's expanded ISO 12,800 limit is now part of the standard ISO range in the D3300!
Tweaks have been made in the Nikon D3300's firmware, as well. For example, the Effects mode sees some welcome additions. The most noteworthy of these is the 'Easy Panorama' mode, which is making its first appearance in a Nikon HD-DSLR of any kind. And all effects except panorama (for obvious reasons) are available not just for stills, but also for movie capture. Nikon has also updated its user-friendly Guide function, which now provides information on night landscape shooting.
And the Nikon D3300's bundle has also been updated, with a brand-new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens included in the box. Even though the new optic includes four-stop vibration reduction capability and a silent wave autofocus motor, the collapsing design allows it to shrink its size to be much smaller than its predecessor. Whereas the lens of the D3200 was something of a weak point we found this new optic a pleasant surprise. Check out our shooter's report below for more info.
Nikon D3300 Shooter's Report Part I
A welcome reunion
When I was about 12, I got a mid-range Nikon compact for my birthday. It had zoom and autofocus, it could print the date on the film and even had a little LCD screen with information I didn't understand on it! It was far better than my first compact camera that I'd been using for many years at the time, and the best camera I could imagine... Until it died, three days later. I replaced it with a cheap, non-zoom Olympus compact, and I never used Nikon again.
Until now. Twelve years later, I think it's time this dyed in the wool Canon guy gave Nikon a second chance. And so I find myself sitting here with a brand new D3300 entry-level DSLR next to my EOS 40D and T3i, tentatively prodding the back and waiting for it to explode.
I jest! It's actually quite a delightful camera. I'm coming at it as someone not only unfamiliar with Nikon controls and ergonomics, but actively accustomed to the opposite. Conversely, I'm also one of those people who can pick something up and use it immediately without instruction, just based on the practical foundations of UI/UX (user interface/user experience) design and technology itself.

Wowed by the kit lens and AF, less so the limited controls
As would be expected from a camera in this price range and size, the control layout can be a little limiting. Since the target demographic isn't generally expected to use quite a number of features, they've been omitted; those needing them can upgrade to the D5300 or the D7100.
IS-NO. Let's get the first omission out of the way: There is no dedicated ISO control. I know I mentioned this previously, but it really did feel to me like a standout missing feature while shooting. I still don't trust a camera to auto-ISO, which may be a hangover from the bad old days of sensor noise appearing the second you crested the ISO 200 hill. You can access it via the quick menu, but that's far too slow for my liking, so I set the Function button to adjust ISO.
For an actual real ISO button, to the D7100 you must go. If you're not loyal to Nikon, and in a budget DSLR you're probably not, you can seek greener pastures in Canon land: both the T5 and SL1 offer dedicated ISO control. Pentax's excellent K-50 not only gives you your ISO button, but also weather sealing and a host of other great features. If you intend to use the D3300 as a 'set-it-and-forget-it' camera though, the lack of a dedicated ISO button is really a non-issue.

Nikon D3300 Image Quality Comparison
Does the D3300's AA-filterless design pay off?
Here, we compare crops from our laboratory Still Life target comparing the Nikon D3300 with the Canon T5, Fujifilm X-A1, Nikon D3200, Pentax K-500 and Sony A5000. Does the D3300's AA-filterless design pay off with crisper detail? And how does it do at avoiding aliasing artifacts? Go ahead and pixel peep! Let your eyes be the judge.
NOTE: These images are best quality JPEGs straight out of the camera, at default settings including noise reduction and using the camera's actual base ISO (not extended ISO settings). All cameras in this comparison were shot with our very sharp reference lenses. Clicking any crop will take you to a carrier page where you can click once again to access the full resolution image as delivered straight from the camera. For those interested, you can access the full set of RAW images we shot via the Nikon D3300's Thumbnails page -- links to the RAW files appear beneath those for the JPEG images, wherever we have them.

Joseph from Wicomico, VA– Verified Buyer
I am extremely happy with this purchase. At first I was a little taken back by the price but after receiving the pillars (I bought the whole set) they are worth every dollar. Breath taken and I am sure a subject of conversation...Buy it.. by the way they weight about 40 lbs each.

Outside, a large barn, originally built in the 19th century, over looks the property. Guests will have the unique opportunity to enjoy both a beautiful lake and 4 acres of property with specially designed gardens and paths that lead to private access to Lake Garfield.
The Lake side of the property includes a wonderful private deck with a masterful view, a private dock with canoes, a floating swimming dock and lots of water toys.
It should be noted that Lake Garfield is the most beautiful lake in the Berkshires because it is the only one managed for weed control. The water is lowered each winter to kill off the weeds, so the water is clear and weed free.
The property is located in the quaint village of Monterey, MA, which has a town beach, playground and wonderfully kind people.
The property is 15 minutes from the restaurants, galleries, shops, concerts and theaters of Great Barrington (rated one of "the coolest small towns in the U.S.A" by Budget Travel magazine).
The property is also 15 minutes from the towns of Lenox, Stockbridge, and Lee. In the summer, you can enjoy Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, Shakespeare & Company, the Berkshire Theater Festival, Williamstown Theater Festival, the Norman Rockwell Museum, Edith Wharton's home and numerous other cultural attractions.
The house is quick drive to top-notch hiking and outdoor spots such as the Appalachian Trail and Beartown State Forest.
In the Winter, the house is located only minutes from the ski areas of Butternut, Otis Ridge, and Catamount.

Peak Performance Coaching
To reach peak performance as a singer, actor, golf-player, pianist, tennis player, executive or teacher or in any other area of life, you require at least 3 things:
1. Sustained Focus
This is another way of saying practice and repetition. The more repetitions of action you conduct, the more you dig a grove in your mind. The grove can become a limitation of course, making it difficult to shift focus to other aspects and paths, so its advisable to dig several groves for your skill but also dig some outside of your expertise.
It almost does not matter which particular field you focus on, the art of focusing itself is a valuable skill and also a rather pleasant state of mind. So whether you are focusing on a pebble in the zen garden or focusing on remaking your website, the pleasant state that arises is the same. Its the choosing and zooming on one thing that allows you to step out of time and space concerns and experience the deep satisfaction of bringing about a new reality by your sustained focus and effort.
2. A Vision bigger than yourself
The inner will of a person never acts without a vision or belief in something. If you believe you cant reach the stars, you will not start moving in that direction. Children on the other hand, because they are not impeded by limiting beliefs, will stretch their arms in the direction of something they'd like to achieve. The child may not reach the object of its desire and you may not reach the stars, but you will have begun moving in the right direction. Disbelief or lack of vision is like driving with the brakes on.
To achieve peak performance it is advisable to operate from a context bigger than yourself and possibly even bigger than achievable. This is why so much of my coaching work involves a spiritual context. Without the belief in higher values, higher aims and even a higher world there is not only a lack of essential motivation but also a lack of a bigger picture from which your high goals look small in comparison. You see, because I believe that I am living within an infinite and abundant field of energy, I am not daunted by any tasks or goals which all seem miniature in comparison. Through meditation, contemplation, energy-work, visualization, prayer, lucid dreaming and similar, I get in touch with that aspect of me that is infinite. That allows me to emerge from tough situations fairly unscathed.
3. Coaching and Mentoring
You can achieve high performance without outside help, but peak performance coaching is usually best achieved with the assistance of experts, mentors and plenty of external Feedback. The outside perspective can see things you may be missing (because you have been digging your groves ever so deeply), and can provide the few extra bits of energy when you have reached the outermost limits of your own energy reserves. Of course the coach is no substitute for your own power. In fact, I always recommend people drive on their own energy for as long as they can and only book a consultant or coach when they themselves have done everything within the range of their capabilities. Thats the moment a coach is the most empowering, providing extra lubricant and fuel to the motors of your passion.
So the three paths to peak performance are really work (sustained focus), belilef (vision) and support (coaching), and in this order. Start with the work required to become a top _______ (fill in the blank). And when you have reached the limits of what you are able to do, refill your passion with fresh belief and vision. And when you have reached the limits of what you are able to believe, refill your passion with coaching. You will perform in your field at peak level and "be all that you can be". And you will look back on your life and say "That was a life lived to the fullest".

About Anne Marie
Some of our best memories are the times we've spent with family and friends in Townbank. For me, there are many relaxing, pleasurable activities such as biking on the flat, picturesque roads, walking the beautiful, natural beaches, enjoying the gardens, kayaking, and shopping the specialty shops of Cape May. Leisure time can also be spent hunting for 'treasures' at the many antique shops and yard sales. We enjoy the family oriented neighborhood, quaint country church for Sunday services, great wines right out of the boutique vineyards nearby, and wonderfully farm-fresh produce and seafood.
Anne Marie purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Anne Marie chose Cape May
It only took one visit to Townbank and we were hooked. You, too, will fall in love with this quaint family community of single homes on tree lined roads with some of the oldest and largest trees in South Jersey. My family used to come here when I was a child and it hasn't changed very much since then. We fell in love with our cottage in the village of Townbank, bought it immediately, and have been working on it lovingly ever since. We enjoy every moment being there and so will you. You won't want to leave, I promise!
What makes this cottage unique
What we love about our cottage's location is the proximity to historic Cape May. A lovely seaside resort resplendent with beautiful Victorican homes, wonderful shopping, sightseeing and whaling excursions. If you enjoy the excitement of the rides and games on the boardwalk,then you will love Wildwood...we are so close, yet so far from the those maddening crowds. In Townbank, we have absolutely no problems with traffic, parking, or late-night revelers. You'll have crickets, cicadas and the distant horn of the ferry to serenade you while you're star watching around the fire pit. Not really a beach person, but still want to experience a great getaway? You can have nature take you away by just spending time in our shaded, lush gardens. We decorated the cottage comfortably so you will feel right at home. If you miss one of Townbank's world-famous sunsets, don't worry, we have a beautiful 25' mural of a gorgeous sunset that you can see anytime...night or day. Come spend your vacation in our very special, very peaceful Garden Cottage by the Bay.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a great time at this cute cottage. We were very close to the beach and could make it back for potty breaks and lunch and snacks. The beach is quite and the water was just right for my toddlers.

Its how the dumbasses of the south and the east spell CANADA.

by Canadian, not Canadiaian May 19, 2010
Noun. The way Canada SHOULD logically be spelled, if its reisdents are to be referred to as "Canadians". If "Canada" is the correct nomenclature, why are its residents referred to as "Canadians" and not "Canadans"? And, if we are to appropriate this linguistic protocol and apply it across the board, then why don't we Americans call ourselves "AM-mo-RICK-ians"? Besides, "Canadia" just sounds better, and lives up to the peaceful, majestic, and Utopian persona that it has taken on in the eyes of us Amorickians ever since our country got taken over by blustering, right-wing Imperialists. C'mon, "Nation Soon to be Formerly Known as Canada". Make it official. We all know you want to!
"Had there been proper medical procedures to correct severe cataracts in 1545, French explorer Jacques Cartier may not have missed the "i" in "Canadia" while transcribing his travelogue entries for posterity, and the grievous cosmic imbalance which ensues to this day may have been completely averted."
by Buddy-Rey August 28, 2006
Quite simply what the country Canada should have been called if the world was a logical place. Not to mention, Canadia sounds much more grand than Canada.
Canadia sounds much better than Canada.

"Let the sunshine in, Let the sun shine!" LOL! Wow, it took a lot to get here. I am so happy that we are at this point, but again, I have to say, I wish this meeting with Nicole would have taken place right off the bat. We could have chatted, and I could have apologized. Whether the information I was told is true or not, clearly Nicole is hurting (and tormented) inside. I never want to see another person hurting, and I especially do not want to see a friend of mine hurt.
I don't want to beat (or should I say mutilate) a dead horse at this point, but I want to make a few final points. At the time of me telling Melissa, I truly was telling it as I heard it "through the grapevine" without knowing the validity. I was not being malicious. However, from the point of telling Melissa to the point of sitting in front of Nicole, I realized that our definitions of "affair" are very different, as Nicole's recent explanation of her situation proves. It's the difference between "separated" and "divorced." However, everyone has the right to make a choice and we approach these choices from different points of views. My feelings are that, as a woman, I never want to interfere with a family. If a divorce is filed and pending that is one thing, but if they are only separated there is a chance for the family to reunite. We have enough single parents in this country; the best circumstance is an intact family with both mommy and daddy. I would never want to risk becoming the reason that a family stays apart or the potential reason for children hurting. This is my point of view; I stand completely firm on these feelings and in the end I am not here to judge, just offer my viewpoint.
What I still do not understand is how this situation ever escalated the way it did in the first place. It would have been a hell of a lot more sane if this "sit down" conversation happened prior to the spectacle that Nicole had put on at the party. Either way, I learned a very valuable lesson from all of this. I pray we can honestly all move on.

Hot and spicy desserts
- grocerytrekker Jan 3, 2007 09:38 PM
I predict 2007 will be a hot, spicy year for desserts.
My typical dining scenario has been like this. I would be somewhat dazzled by the appetizers, somewhat pleased by the main courses, but somewhat disappointed by the desserts. Not because they are bad, but because they are predictable. Predictably sweet, too. Sweet is wonderful, but a dessert can be infinitely more complex. Tart(it can be uninteresting if it's too cleanly tart - as in some fruit sorbets), bitter, peppery.
My favorite home dessert of the moment -so easy to make- is granny smith or Fuji (peaches are better, but they are off-season)sauteed with fruit vinegar and ground white or pink peppercorns. (a scoop of creme fraiche ice cream with it would be nice)
Have you seen/made a great spicy dessert lately?
re: lyn
Yes! I totally dig the chilli and chocolate thing, in brownies, rich cakes, etc. I had such from local restaurants/bakeries, but I never know how much to put in the mix, and haven't yet tried. Sometimes I add a little cayenne/chilli powder/cinnamon to really good quality chocolate sauce for ice cream (or caramel sauce too for that matter). Desserts with the hot against the cold are divine.
I made some pumpkin custard last month and foolishly thought it would be interesting to add one hot chili to the spice mixture I was grinding.
Mistake. Most of the custards went in the trash. But I can't say I won't experiment.
To be honest, I overspiced the custard in general and that's probably why I tossed it, but I don't think I'd repeat the chili.
I've been working on a box of hot chocolate mix with chili and cinnamon (like a spicy Ibarra) - I'll bet that would be great in all kinds of stuff.
I love brownies with chopped candied ginger and a dash (or a few dashes) of cayenne pepper.
I've also taken to drinking my hot chocolate with a dash of cayenne lately. It's not enough to change the flavor, but it keeps my insides warm on cold nights.
I once had a caramelized banana 'split' with jalapeno chocolate ice cream at Spanish Kitchen in LA. The ice cream was spicy hot in flavor, but cold and sweet, too. Interesting combo!
Wallse, a Austrian-inspired restaurant in Manhattan does this great apple sorbet dessert with horseradish. It is a great palate cleanser.
one of my favorite things is green mango slices dipped in thai peppers, fish sauce, lime juic and garlic...
i also saw an episode of take home chef that featured a dessert with mango slices drizzled with a spicy chimichurri sauce. looked yummy.
My wife came up with a recipe for a habanero-lime cheesecake. Wonderful, but it can get a bit hot!
Homemade chocolate/ancho chile ice cream is good too.
re: limster
That reminds me of all the fruit carts in the Mexican neighborhoods that offer bags of various sliced fruits that they add fresh lime juice, chile and salt to. The combination of the cool, wet, sweet, sour, hot sensations is fabulous.
re: Ruth Lafler
It has become my new habit to sprinkle a little salt on oranges and melons, etc. the way I used to for papaya. Salt seems to actually heighten the sweetness.
re: grocerytrekker
My friend from North Carolina taught me this trick. Salt enhances melons. Never tried other fruits.
re: grocerytrekker
My mom always does the same for under-sweet fruit like pomelos, mangoes, etc. I don't know if it made it sweeter, but it definitely made me like it for just being salty!
How about green papaya and chile? I had a Cambodian friend who would bring these to work. I love this combination.
my sister has sprinkled cantelope with pepper since we were little kids, I never tried it. She adores the stuff.
Have you heard of Toad Sweat hot dessert sauces? they're sweet and spicy. There's vanilla, chocolate, lime, etc., all enhanced with habanero.
my favorite flavor from our local popsicle stand is mango with chile; they also do a very nice black pepper cream.
(pepper is my secret ingredient in so many desserts--gives such a nice warmth, and no one can identify it...)
I had bittersweet chocolate, ancho chile and Amarena cherry bread pudding with vanilla anglaise on my restaurant menu.
Also, dulce de leche brulee with cinnamon and red chile-dusted mini churros was a regular special.

He is the one who told us about the cavalry parade, which not many people seemed to know about.
We did tour the palace, but photographs were not allowed, and even if they had been, every single heavy drape was drawn and the lighting was pretty dim, so it would have been impossible anyway. There was some impressive artwork, especially on the ceilings, in the palace, and some very grand rooms, but overall I just found it a bit oppressive as I crave sunshine coming in windows.

Former Wales international Mickey Thomas made 110 appearances during three seasons at Old Trafford; here, he previews the Reds' trip to take on Cardiff City on Sunday...
I've been in Cardiff during the past few weeks and they haven't stopped talking about Manchester United coming to town. They have passionate fans and are really up for this one. It's a huge game for them, one of the biggest of their season.
Cardiff have already proved that they can be a very difficult side to play against. Malky Mackay is doing a fine job and, on the playing side, they have good players like Craig Bellamy, who has been a thorn in United's side plenty of times before. Steven Caulker is a good signing for them, as is the lad in midfield Gary Medel. Peter Whittingham has a great left foot too, and Fraizer Campbell has been a big hit for them. That said, it'd be understandable if they were cautious because Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie look unstoppable at the moment.
United are coming back into a good run of form and a player I've been really impressed with is Antonio Valencia, who is starting to have a big impact even though people have not really been mentioning it. He is starting to get confidence back into his play and he moves the ball well, I like that.
Valencia is key; he is so important to van Persie and Rooney because he can supply the crosses in that crucial area in the box. He can play right-back as well - he's a good full-back as he's strong - but it's in the final third where I'd like to see him really take control. He has got the ability and, in his last two or three games, has looked like being back to his best with his confidence soaring. Valencia is back on track.
That's not the only important area of the team, though. The midfield is a crucial battle that we must win. Michael Carrick is out so it'll be interesting to see who plays centrally.
