Meditation is a way of bringing us back to ourselves where we can really experience and taste our true being beyond our thoughts and emotions. It is about bringing the mind back home in the midst of the busyness of living.
Meditation is an art, the art of being still, the art of being aware, the art of being present, the art of being in the now, the art of being grounded, the art of being relaxed and alert at the same time, the art of BEING.
Meditation is a technique that slows us down so that we can descend into the depth of ourselves in the present moment. We all have a continuous stream of thinking flowing through our minds morning, noon and night, and most of us are totally identified with this activity of the mind. To take our attention out of this stream of thinking we need to give the mind a focus. We need to give it something to attend to, we need to give it an object such as the breath or our senses or a mantra to bring us into the present. Bringing the mind home beyond thoughts and emotions, and that is how we learn to meditate.
Meditation is coming into stillness. W.B. Yeats wrote – "we can make our minds so like still water that beings gather around us, that they may see their own images and so live for a moment with a clearer and perhaps even a fiercer life because of our quiet."
The Sanctuary is a meditation centre. The thread of meditation and mindfulness is interwoven through all its activities - Day Programmes, Youth Programmes and Workshops.
Evening courses include: The Art of Being Still; Cultivating Mindfulness; Minding the Moment – Key to a Peaceful Heart; Meditation through the Chakras, Moving into Stillness, Mindfulness in Daily Life; Introduction to Mindfulness and Meditation and Mindfulness in Times of Change. They all complement each other and are suited to both beginners and those experienced in the practice of meditation. See our brochure for more information.

I caught the morning news and they were talking about the 3 fired administrators at EMU who were fired over the coverup of a young girls rape and murder. Im not gonna lie these people really chap my cheetah!
Before I go off let me refresh your memory about this. Laura Dickinson was raped and murdered in her dorm room at Eastern Michigan University Dec 2006. They found this poor girl after someone complained of the smell!
If that all isn't bad enough EMU after being told by the coroner that foul play WAS suspected these scumbags post on their website for the students and tell her parents that NO FOUL PLAY WAS SUSPECTED!!!
Now for those of you wondering if this was just a mistake the answer is hell NO! They were more worried about losing money and didnt give a thought to the students' safety.
To show just how blatant all of this was there were reports about this incident that were supposedly shredded by the student affairs VP Jim Vick, these guys think they are part of the Bush Administration of something.
Now the poor parents of this 22 yr old girl didn't find out until February of this year that she had been raped and murdered and that the po po had arrested fellow EMU student Orange Taylor for the crime.
Imagine paying big money to send your child to college to have them killed and if that wasn't bad enough to then be LIED to by that same college! I can't even imagine the pain and anger they must feel.
The shame of it all is that colleges are straying from being a place of higher education above all and are turning into to nothing but a big business that is concerned more with making money than any thing else!
To prove my point it has even been reported that the EMU Alumni Foundation actually had the huevos to send out a letter pleading with the alumni not to look at the negatives of this situation and continue to donate money! Now how scummy is that!
Thankfully, the Clery Act requires all schools participating in federal student aid programs to report all crime in a "timely manner" or be subject to fines up to 27 grand, which is a start.
But personally, I would like to see the fine be set sooooo high that no college would ever consider covering up any crime…Period!
I also think they should give Mr. Dickinson a steel baton and put him in a room alone with Jim Vick and let him show how much he appreciates the lies told to him about his daughter's death! Thwap!!!
Until next time stay safe and keep your eyes open!
The Judge

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has tossed the final shovel of dirt onto the $450 billion stimulus plan. But it was never going to pass as a package anyway. Some elements still might, though, such as the payroll tax cut or the extension of unemployment benefits, especially if the Obama White House relents and accepts a tax holiday for the overseas earnings of U.S. corporations.
Now, Obama could have included that idea in his original proposal. Or a cut in the corporate tax rate. Or a cut in the capital gains tax rate. But that all assumes the goal was to find a bipartisan compromise rather than frame an issue for the 2012 elections. If Obama really desired to strike a deal, of course, he wouldn't have offered to pay for the plan by raising taxes on the "rich"—a nonstarter for Republicans.
Ezra Klein suggests Team Obama should play hardball:
They can still refuse to sign anything the supercommittee produces if it doesn't include a job agenda of similar size, and thus effectively use the trigger as leverage for a jobs plan. But as of yet, they have shown little interest in doing so. They have given a speech, but unlike the Republicans on the debt ceiling and the government shutdown, they have refused to use their procedural leverage.
So, in the end, Obama's American Jobs Act ends up on the same policy trash heap as his deficit commission and his "framework" for debt reduction.

Michigan Basketball: Early Takeaways from Start of Wolverines' 2013-14 Season | Bleacher Report
"Of course the people don't want war ... the people can always be brought to do the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
I like the thought of Kane matching up against a freshman.
With how good they were last year, 5-5 on the road and a younger team this year is a plus for us.
Can it be Sunday, now?

This. Walton is really good though and better than Morris but Kane is a grown man, you gotta like that.
While on live TV, Ford used a vulgar term to describe a private part of the female anatomy, adding that he was happily married and got more than enough to eat at home.

I feel like they were a bit snarky and undermining ISU in the two paragraph's about them. Bleacher Report seems to hate us, anyway. They're also a bunch of idiots who don't know basketball.
Agreed. My take is that they see ISU as a step above a directional school, but certainly not BIG10 caliber, which is fine. I think the U of M is going to get a bit of a surprise come Sunday afternoon.
Bleacher report is a crowd-sourcing website. You're not going to find a lot of "random Joe's" that know squat about ISU.

That's not what the Mr. Michigan voters thought.
Ill put any dollar that if I get this ball again, Long said, Its going in.

I am getting the feeling that Michigan fans (and team?) look at us just like Notre Dame looked at us in the tourney. I like it.

They beat us up @ their place by 10 (66-76) back in '11-'12. I think they feel it will be about the same.
I like the fact that this team has failed to put together two decent halves in one game. ISU could get out to a big lead, or if they don't they can certainly have hope that Michigan will have problems keep their foot on the gas the whole game.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
I wonder who guards stauskas that kid scares me more than any other

I know, but Walton was much more sought after recruit and he was the star on their AAU team, not Monte.
Noticed the comments on the bottom of the page- someone asked if McGary was going to play and they guy that wrote the article said that he was unlikely to play and would probably return when they go to Puerto Rico (21st).

As you may have heard, Facebook recently launched their new Timeline feature (it's opt-in for now, so don't freak out). In short, the Timeline starts with today and goes back until the day of your birth. Imagine what this will look like for those precious babies whose parents set up their Facebook pages pre-birth (or is that too meta?)! There are all kinds of customizable features that allow you to highlight certain images, notes, life events, interests, friends and other updates that you posted to Facebook. All of this is in an effort for you to create a scrapbook of "the story of your life."
So, while the Timeline is not YET available for Pages (and likely won't be in the same form) we're always thinking ahead and wanted to share our thoughts of how brands could use timeline features in the future.
As a business, a Timeline-type layout is a great opportunity to streamline information and show the online community what it important to you. It can be a really great tool for a company to tell their story beyond just their product offering and develop their online voice. Take this opportunity to go back into the company's Facebook history and reflect on whether it is still true to the company today. In doing so, you may find that it's a great exercise in really developing and refining the company's branding (if you need help with that – give us a call).
It is incredibly important for EVERYTHING showcased on Timeline to reflect the company's brand and voice in the marketplace. While this is absolutely the case with Facebook now, having information streamlined into a Timeline makes it more necessary to have a unified voice, because everything, past and present is visible. For business of all sizes this is a great opportunity to show the culture of a company and its roots. There may be more on your page that shows the company's history and growth than you think, especially for new companies founded in the social media age.
Are you a cool, young tech start-up? The Facebook Timeline may be the place to show off the cool side of projects worked on or trips taken by employees, reflecting the kind of people that are in the company and the type of employees you want to attract. Importantly, it also shows the world that you are innovative, cutting-edge and adventurous – from the people that work at the company to the products themselves.
Are you an established financial services company? This may not be the place to share the account assistant's weekend trip sky diving in Vegas, but it IS a great place to share awesome corporate events, brainstorming sessions or the CEO with spouse attending a non-profit fundraiser.
Here are some specifics:
Cover Photo – It is really important to choose the cover photo wisely. Unlike a page's profile image, this image is a) physically HUGE and b) more prominently displayed on the page. Because there are profile images and cover photos, make sure the cover photo reflects who you are rather than the simple brand logo. You can change this at any time by hovering over the cover photo selected and using the Change Cover menu to update this photo.
Think about if this is an image you want to change periodically or something you would like to become permanent. Think about what this says about your brand, if you are an "old staple" you may not want to change your photo regularly. The tech start-up? Go crazy – change it each week as new events happen, or use this space to highlight the great new projects or people you are working with.
Featured Images – Star the pictures you want to feature first, which makes these pictures BIG and unmistakable. For Businesses, star images that portray corporate culture, your CEO and other executives. Be sure to feature things that show differentiation between your competitors: if you have a cool office space, or great interactive brainstorming sessions, or a great cubical design competition be sure to feature these as well.
Life Events – This feature allows you to highlight and tag moments that are important to your life, in this case the life of the company. For businesses, this may mean when it was founded, when you hired a new executive, awards won, new offices opened, corporate events and outings, products launched, tag line changed, important events or adventures in the life of the CEO (if they LIVE the company's brand, for example, Richard Branson-style extreme living, which personifies the Virgin brand).
Be sure to edit, or at least be aware of the order in which the boxes appear on the timeline – friends, photos, likes, life events, notes, and subscriptions all have a place in your timeline. It's up to you to determine the importance of each and make it easy for views to access the most important.
