Teen Titans #89
Writer: J.T. Krul
Penciller: Nicola Scott
Inker: Doug Hazlewood
I really need to give up on DC's team books. With so many characters, they wind up being the repository for all kinds of continuity flotsam, washing up in the book regardless of whether it matters to the story or not.
Now, one might say that the presence of a Robin in the Teen Titans is a bit more relevant than some other plot point, but much of what we're supposed to understand about his character and the team's resentment requires knowledge of the recent Batman changes, items I don't care about. For that reason, about half this comic is irrelevant to me, as characters argue about whether or not Damian Robin should be on the team. In between, there's some abused kid bad guy whose abilities, purpose, or motivation aren't fully explained. At least the characters are visually attractive and heroic-looking; too bad their behavior doesn't match their appearance.
A pointless, unpleasant issue. I'm only bothering to mention it because I'm flabbergasted at how far the craft of serial comic storytelling has declined. By the end of this book, we've seen destruction, in-fighting among heroes, and what are we left with as a cliffhanger? Robin screwing up and letting the bad guy (temporarily, I'm sure) take the upper hand. This isn't a satisfying stopping point, nor does it provide any kind of entertainment value in this issue as a package. It's a chapter incapable of standing alone, and although it's now only $3 instead of $4, it's still not worth it.
Batman, Incorporated #1
Writer: Grant Morrison
Penciller: Yanick Paquette
Inker: Michel Lacombe
On the other hand, this starting point was a lot of fun. Not $4 worth, as they're asking for it, but still fun. You may want to try it beginning with #3, when the price drops to where it should be.
Batman and Catwoman are running around on capers together, and the whole thing is quite playful — so long as you ignore the guy maimed by acid on the first page. Bruce and Selina are in Tokyo to recruit Mr. Unknown, who operates under a comic shop, to become the Japanese Batman, since the title is a franchise now. There's a bit more fighting than I care for, making the overall story feel lighter (thus my opening comment), but I appreciate the humor.
The thing that made me a fan of the series was the cliffhanger. The panels are separated by black borders with questions to the reader, encouraging them to return to found out what happens. I saw them as a laughing homage to the old TV show. The light tone helps keep the ridiculous amounts of violence and torture from seeming so morbid, and the idea of a Batman who enjoys fighting crime and righting wrongs, complete with a well-chosen partner, I can get behind. Bravo to Morrison for remembering what superhero comics should be like.
Booster Gold #38
Writers: Keith Giffen & J.M. DeMatteis
Art: Chris Batista & Rich Perrotta
OK, enough talking about price now, since everything else I'm going to talk about is at the now-standard price point of $2.99. This is another fun story, remembering the history of the character in a welcoming fashion with a sense of humor and enough of a story that the issue is satisfying in itself.
Booster has found himself guardian of a young girl, who as this story has opened, has stolen a time bubble and run away to World War II. This allows for the return of General Glory. Even if you don't recall his glory days, during Booster's time in the Justice League, he works as a parody of an idiotically patriotic hero. His sidekick Ernie also allows for lots of jokes about child endangerment.
The writing's amusing, putting character first, but there's still plenty of action in the meantimes. It's just part of the story, not the focus for its own sake (which I find tiring and childish). Everything's going a mile a minute, and the result is a packed book that feels like a substantial, worthwhile read. Booster even gets to be clever! The art keeps up with whatever's required, whether star-spangled action, cast-interaction humor, or childlike fear.
The girl's motive is unexpected but sensible, from a twisted perspective suitable to her age. I find myself wondering if she's named Rani as an homage to Doctor Who.
Tiny Titans/Little Archie #2
Writers: Art Baltazar & Franco
Artist: Art Baltazar
Simply charming. The Tiny Titans Pet Club, due to a misunderstanding, invite Josie and her Pussycats to join. Everyone is adorable in the little people/big head style. I was particularly impressed by how right they got Melody's voice. As a dumb blonde character, lots of people think they can write her, but it takes a certain skill to get her internal logic consistent and create the right kind of humor.
We also get to see (as one might expect if one thought about it, but this series is most fun if you don't think, just experience) Little Archie and his buddies in their superhero identities.
Two Quick Bits
I'm still very much enjoying Batgirl, and you're probably already heard about the comical opening pages of issue #15, where she sums up recent Batman events in a lovely cartoony way by new artist Dustin Nguyen, who's also quite capable of illustrating the action. Stephanie's college years are in danger as someone calling themselves the Grey Ghost involves her in a student's murder. I'm ready for the next issue already!
I don't really know if many Americans get Knight and Squire, as it seems to be layering on Britishisms with a trowel. Issue #2 makes much of village class distinctions and Morris Men, a kind of re-enactor of folk tradition. Is its foreignness its source of appeal? There are translation and cultural notes from writer Paul Cornell at the back, which help, and artist Jimmy Broxton has a nice clean line and a pleasurable willingness to draw background and setting. If you want to see the funniest page in the issue, go to this review and scroll down.

- Grant Says:
November 26, 2010 at 6:28 PMI agree with you on Batman Inc. I hadn't picked up a Batman comic in probably a decade at least and thought this would be a good jumping on point. I thought it was surprisingly entertaining and the "Mr. Unknown" character was fun. As was the interplay between Bruce and Selina. Great cover and interior art as well.
I also picked up the Batgirl one shot and that led me to purchase iss 15, which was a lot of fun. I'll also say that I doubt I would have picked up any of these titles had it not been for the 2.99 price tag.
I also thought the Batman/Catwoman one shot by Howard Chaykin was pretty good.
- James Schee Says:
November 26, 2010 at 7:04 PMYeah Morrison does realize you can have fun, his Superman All Star series was a good example of that. Im looking forward to trying this series.
Damian is annoying, to me and I just don't see why the other characters in Titans would want to hang with him. Not sure why, other than writer's whim he would be a part of that team.
I haven't tried Booster in a while, I should give it a look.
- Johanna Says:
November 26, 2010 at 7:38 PMGlad you're enjoying Batgirl, Grant! Issue 15's opening had all the explanation that I thought Teen Titans should have had — and much more entertaining, too.
James, Batman (whom I think is who I used to call "Nightwing") thinks it would be good for Damian to learn to trust. I'm not sure how you make that happen by forcing together people who don't like each other, but as you said, writer's whim. And history — there's always a Robin in the Teen Titans.
- Dwight Williams Says:
November 26, 2010 at 7:59 PM"Batman-Gotham" is indeed Dick Grayson, the original Robin and later Nightwing…and he may be written as letting his own experiences cloud his judgment here re: Damian and the Teen Titans.
- James Schee Says:
November 26, 2010 at 8:44 PMOdd, Grayson has nothing to do with any of these other Titans on the team. (I'm not sure I've even read a story where he teamed with any of them)
Gotta wonder at going "hey you young 16 to 17 year olds, that I've never had any dealings with. Here's a snobbish 10 year old(I think? that's what he seemed like in Morrison's first Batman stories) for you to hang out with. It'll be good for him!"
On a related note, I'm curious to see how the Young Justice animated series first ep is tonight when I watch it on my DVR.
Have they collected any of Batgirl series yet? I picked up the issues where she first teamed with Wendy and the one with Supergirl and her vs Dracula. They were a lot of fun.
- Grant Says:
November 26, 2010 at 11:07 PMThey do have one trade out called Batgirl Rising. I'm not sure how many issues it compiles but at 144 pages I'm assuming the first five.
Supergirl is something I've been trying to get into, but the writing and art are so darn inconsistant. Couple good ones, then a few duds. Makes it hard to be dedicated.
I just watched Young Justice. I really enjoyed the animation, kind of reminded me of Aeon Flux a bit. The story was okay. However, that new Avengers series is the toon to beat in my opinion. Especially if you're a fan of silver age Avengers and Peter David era Hulk, which I certainly am. I just wish the comics were as good as the cartoon.
- Johanna Says:
November 27, 2010 at 6:27 AMJames, it's putting the importance of the Titans franchise over the members — just like DC does! Good observation.
Grant, thanks for that info. Batgirl Rising contains #1-7, but according to Amazon, it's out of print. And I agree with you about Supergirl. The latest issue, #58, has some really intriguing relationships, but it's also got over-amped stereotypical motivations. Has the creative team changed over yet, or is that still coming?
I'm looking forward to trying Young Justice — it's waiting on the TiVo.
- Charles Knight Says:
November 27, 2010 at 6:29 AMAnyone know what's happening with Batgirl? While the writers of that series seem to have their own direction, Batman: The Return seems to set up an entirely different status quo for the character – now if Morrison needs that status quo for part of the payoff of one of his wider stories, are the writers coming to have to bend to that?
- Jim Perreault Says:
November 30, 2010 at 8:08 PMAren't Changeling and Raven on the current Titan's team. Dick's been with both for a long time. But it would be out of character to order him on the team.
- Jim Perreault Says:
December 22, 2010 at 7:36 AMRunning a bit behind here, but I finally got around to reading Teen Titans 89 and wanted to comment on it.
I have a slightly different viewpoint then Johanna.
While it could have a used a bit more exposition, I felt they did a good job of introducing Damian to the team. I have no prior exposure to the character (I didn't realize they introduced a new Robin ; I thought "Batman and Robin" was an All-Star book featuring Bruce and Dick) and feel I now have a good handle on the character, his abilities, and what motivates him. And I like the fact that he is basically on the team as a favor to Dick, and that the rest of the Titans don't like him because he is not Tim.
And while the ending was a bit predictable, it was very much an out growth of the characters and was a satisfying ending. Imagine, stories driven by characterization and not senseless violence! Titans has not been this readable in ages.
That said, my overall reaction to the issue was quite similar to yours. The book is mostly filled with new characters that I have no particular attachment to. So I have a hard time caring about what happens to them. And the few characters that I do have an emotional attachment to, such as the former Impulse, have changed so much as to be unrecognizable. It is a real barrier to getting into the book. I'd be interested if fans of Kesel's Superboy have similar reactions.
(Speaking of Kesel characters, I have the same problem with Dove in Birds of Prey. She bears almost no resemblance to the original character. It's almost painful to read. Why bring back the character if you're going to de-power her? )
Getting back to Titans, I think if I stuck with the book and if participation in company wide crossovers is limited, the characters would probably grow on me. But I already get my teen superhero fix in Avengers Academy, so I'm not likely to pick up another title.
- Johanna Says:
December 22, 2010 at 8:16 AMOh, neat, thanks for sharing your review of the issue. And I agree with your final conclusion — there are other teen books that satisfy me as a reader better without the baggage and confusion of this one.

Spring has arrived! Whether you are looking for a new makeup look or craving a hairstyle change, we have the scoop on what's hot this season. Check out our top four beauty trends for spring 2013.
Sleek Hair - Take a break from the teasing comb and try a sleeker style. Models on the runway have been sporting less volume in both up and down 'do's. The key to this look is shiny simplicity that is frizz-free. Use Klorane's Leave-In with Papyrus Milk to calm fly aways without weighing the hair down. Tame tresses into a sophisticated ponytail, or leave locks loose - applying to the top layer from the crown down.
Bold Lips - Be brave and be bold. This spring, select a spicy shade to slather on your smoocher. If you tend to shy away from the more brilliant colors, tone down your look by keeping the eyes neutral. If you are ready to embrace the drama, pair your militant mouth with classic cat-eye liner. Ready to pump up the power to your pucker? Try new BECCA Ultimate Matte Lip Colour in Aurora - a gorgeous coral red shade. Or give yourself over to the dark side with Kevyn Aucoin's The Expert Lip Color in Bloodroses - a deep blood red.
Big Brows - Big brows are here to stay. It seems like FOREVER ago when we put away our tweezers and let our brows run free. It looks like the caterpillar trend is going strong - at least for now. Looking to enhance your eyebrow? Try Talika's Eyebrow Extender to naturally thicken the hairs you have, then apply IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil to restore brow hair follicles and fill in bare patches.
Pale Nails - Hot off the runway, neutral nails are everywhere this season. Move your bright reds and pinks to your tootsies and try a nude hue on your hands. Searching for the perfect sheer shade to enhance your skin tone? Try HIPPxRGB's complexion complimenting collections.
We hope we have helped you navigate the trends this season. Stay tuned to bglowing.com's Magazine for more beauty insights!

«Behind the Brand: Clark's Botanicals -
Shop Clark's Botanicals here.
Hailed by celebrities and beauty mags alike, Clark's Botanicals has established itself as a plant-based skincare line, specializing in rebalancing the skin regardless of type. What's maybe even more fascinating than the results you'll see using their product, is the story of how the company came to be.
In the summer of 2002, founder Francesco Clark (pictured) suffered a crippling spinal cord injury in a swimming pool accident. Shortly after losing his ability to walk, Clark discovered he had also lost his ability to sweat, leading to clogged pores and chronic breakouts.
Enter Francesco's father, Dr. Harold Clark. Trained in both traditional Western medicine and homeopathy, Dr. Clark worked with his son to develop botanically-based formulas that effectively rebalanced his skin - clearing it up entirely. Word got around about their plant-based cure, and in 2005 (three years after Francesco's accident) Clark's Botanicals was launched.

Yes, You Can Raise Happy Children after Divorce
When we first started discussing divorce, our son was the reason I told myself we couldn't do it. Yes, my own parents divorced when I was five, and I'm fine. Or fine enough. I'm certainly as fine as most people I know. When I look around at my friends, I can't point to any divide in happiness, success or marital status between those whose parents divorced and those whose didn't.
But still. Wouldn't our son be more fine if we stayed married?
Not according to four decades of research. Ideally, perhaps, we'd all awaken to a happy, harmonious marriage simmering on the hearth, casting a protective net over our children, but if you've reached the point of divorcing, this is not your other option.
Nor is it what kids need to thrive. Research shows that about 80-percent of children of divorce do well in life. They adapt, and see no lasting negative effects on their grades, social adjustment, or mental health. These findings arrive from a variety of sources, including a 20-year study done by psychologist Constance Ahrons, published as the book We're Still Family. (For help on your own divorce, check out Ahrons' book, The Good Divorce.)

Tetris World Championship
The Second Annual Tetris World Championship returned to L.A. on Sunday, October 16. Just like last year, hundreds of competitors battled head-to-head in order to be crowned the Tetris World Champion. The event was held at USC's Bovard Auditorium where returning champ Jonas Neubauer of Redondo Beach defended his title successfully in the NES tournament. John Tran won the Playstation Network (PSN) Solo title while he and Roger Teng won the PSN Team title as Team Hard Drop. Daniel Anderson of Sherman Oaks was crowned Tetris Champion in the tournament for the company's new tabletop game, Tetris Link.
"It�s been incredibly exciting to see our new and old fans of all ages and backgrounds come together for a live tournament," said Henk Rogers, Managing Director of The Tetris Company. "It�s part of our vision that people all over the world can create a new world fabric of �likeness,� all connected by the universal language of the Tetris game."

iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad developers – rejoice. Yesterday Apple released a statement announcing the removal of a number of restrictions placed on developers, relaxing the development process and making the approval process significantly more transparent by publishing official guidelines for the application approval process.
Beforehand, developers were unaware of the official process, creating a significant grey area where writers of applications remained in the dark with regards to certain policies – adult content, the use of physical buttons on iDevices etc. For example, earlier last month the developers of ReadItLater – a tool similar to Instapaper that saves webpage content for later reading – had version 2.2 of their application rejected by Apple due to a registration process seen on thousands of other applications live on the App Store. "Applications cannot require user registration prior to allowing access to app features and content" wrote the statement of disapproval from Apple. The application was later resubmitted – unchanged – and approved. It is not yet known when the guidelines will be published for viewing by developers.
The press release also announced that Apple "are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code." In other words, no longer are developers limited to tools made by Apple specifically for iOS software development. "This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need" the release continued.
Finally, Apple also relaxed restrictions on mobile advertising, an unexpected change given Apple's recent iAd integration. Specifically, the new changes allow developers to choose which type of ads (if any) they want their application to include. "The new terms provide immediate clarification about the status of mobile advertising on the iPhone and will benefit users, developers, and advertisers. Users will benefit from more free, or low cost, apps that can now more readily be supported by advertising" wrote Omar Hamoui, Vice President of Product Management at Google Mobile. "This is great news for everyone in the mobile community, as we believe that a competitive environment is the best way to drive innovation and growth in mobile advertising."
The changes represent a big step forward for developers, who now have much clearer rules regarding application development. And that's good news for the end user as well as the developers.

Stress and the Teenage Years
March 31, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under FREE, Longevity, Relaxation, Stress
Are You Stressed?
So, are you stressed? Are you able to relax and experience stress relief? Do you have time to play? Do you sleep well? These are some essential questions, because if you're overly stressed, not able to relax, not taking the time to play, and not managing stress well, you're also most probably not sleeping well.
And if you're stressed and not sleeping well, you know what that means? You're living life in the fast lane, the lane in which you're burning your candle at both ends and the candle is just about flamed out. You know what you call this: that's right, that's living the High Density Lifestyle, a lifestyle that is not conducive to healthy living and health and wellness.
So where do I start when talking about stress?
Teenagers and Stress
How about this? I'll tell you that if you're stressed out when you're younger, you're setting yourself up for a High Density Lifestyle adult life. Habits that we learn when we're younger follow us into adulthood.
And getting stressed out when you're younger is a nasty habit that if you don't change, will affect you adversely when you're an adult, because you'll have a harder time managing stress and experiencing stress relief.
Teenage Stress and Heart Disease
A recent study found that teenage stress can lead to physical problems in adulthood and put adults at risk for cardiovascular disease. Researchers found that a greater frequency of stress in teens was associated with higher levels of an inflammatory marker called C-reactive protein, or CRP. CRP has been identified as an indicator for the later development of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
When you're a teen, there are a lot of stressors that come at you, and most teens are ill-equipped to deal with them. And just think, if you're ill-equipped to deal with them when you're younger, then the adverse reactions your body has to stress will follow you all the way to when you're grown-up.
Peter Panning It
Now you can take the Peter Pan approach to growing up, and basically refuse to grow up, but, and I hate to be the one to deliver the bad news, until science develops a cure for growing up, it ain't gonna happen.
What researchers found was that daily interpersonal stress experienced during the high school years was associated with elevated levels of inflammation, as measured by higher levels of CRP, even among normal, healthy teens.
"Our findings are consistent with the emerging body of evidence that points to the link between stress and increased inflammation, which places individuals at risk for the later development of cardiovascular disease and could have a significant impact upon long-term physical health during adulthood," was the summary of the research.
Develop Self-Awareness
So the bottom line is, getting immersed in living a High Density Lifestyle can start in your younger years and follow you along when you become an adult.
This is no way to live, so the best bet, if you're not a teen anymore, is to develop the self-awareness of what stress is doing to you, so that you can be better at stress management and get yourself onto a Low Density Lifestyle.
And that's when you really start living. The good news is that healthy living will be a beneficial byproduct of this.
Stress: Life in the Fast Lane
March 30, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under FREE, High Density Lifestyle, Relaxation, Stress
For the next few days I will talk about stress and relaxation. Stress is both a symptom and by-product of living a High Density Lifestyle, while being relaxed and calm is something easy to do when you're living a Low Density Lifestyle.
Relaxation is one of the ingredients in the acronym FREE, which if you remember, stands for Flow/Relaxation/Effortless Effort. Living FREE means living a Low Density Lifestyle.
Life in the Fast Lane
When you are living life in the fast lane, you are putting your body under a lot of stress. There is only so long the body is capable of operating at a maxed out level—you can only burn your candle at both ends for so long, and then the inner flame starts to be extinguished.
Stress is all-pervasive in our modern fast-paced culture. I will return to this category time and time again, and I will also return to the category of relaxation many times over. Why, you may ask? Because it can't be talked about enough. Stress puts you smack in the middle of living a High Density Lifestyle, and the longer you live that way, the worse things become.
So let's look a little more in-depth at what stress is.
A Brief History of Stress
The term stress was coined by scientist Hans Selye in the 1930s based on his careful observation of physiological responses in laboratory animals. Selye later broadened his findings to include the human response mechanism to a perceived threat, or "stressor."
Selye found that when he exposed various lab animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli, there were three general stages of reaction. He called these the General Adaptation Syndrome, or GAS. The three stages were Alarm, Resistance and Exhaustion.
By the end of the third stage of GAS, Selye found the animals depleted of their body's most important resources: their adrenal glands were fatigued, their autonomic nervous system was misfiring and their immune systems were burnt out.
Furthermore, it was found that this type of reaction played havoc on the feedback loop that constitutes the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the system that controls reactions to stress and regulates many body processes, including digestion, the immune system, mood and emotions, sexuality, and energy storage and expenditure.
Not everyone reacts to stressors in such a detrimental fashion, and there are times when stress can have positive attributes (Selye called stress that enhanced function eustress). But most people don't cope well to stressors because they are on system overload, bombarded by stimuli and overwhelmed by life's demands. Living in this manner is truly a major impediment to a Low Density Lifestyle.
Your Mind – The Greatest Computer of Them All
March 9, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Creative Intelligence, FREE, Genius, The Dreamer
Hello Mind
I want to introduce you to your mind, and let you know that it is the greatest and most powerful computer ever invented. No computer will ever come close to the mind's abilities.
One of the things a Low Density Lifestyle can do for you is cultivate your Creative Intelligence and Inner Genius. You will use more of your mind's potential and be capable of tapping into the innate genius within.
But unfortunately, most people don't utilize their mind's tremendous computing power. Why? Because they are caught up in a High Density Lifestyle.
It is only when you are living in a Low Density Lifestyle that you can access the magnificent potential of the mind and the amazing computer that it is. Why is this? Because when you are FREE – in the flow, being relaxed and living in stillness, and acting with effortless effort – your mind can function more efficiently.
Research has shown that stress—which is the core component of a High Density Lifestyle—affects the mind in a negative way. And research has shown the opposite—that you think more clearly, more focused and use more of your mind's potential, when you are more relaxed—in other words, when you are living a Low Density Lifestyle.
So let me introduce you to your mind, and tell you some facts about it that point to why it is the greatest computer ever built.
A Guided Tour of Your Mind
The human brain is estimated to have one trillion brain cells.
We are capable of storing 280 quintillion—280,000,000,000,000,000,000—bits of memory in our brain.
The speed of our brain is estimated to range from 100 to 100,000 teraflops (a teraflop is one trillion flops, and a flop is the standard measure of computing speed). The world's fastest computer operates at a speed of 100 billion flops.
We process 125 bits of data per second through our conscious mind. The unconscious mind processes billions of data per second. And our memory approaches a 100% retention rate. We remember potentially everything, although most of those memories lie in the unconscious.
The Sad News
And now, the sad news. Researchers into human potential tell us that we use at most five percent of our mind's capabilities, although it is known that the great majority of people use no more than one percent.
The Truth About Your Mind
In the next few days, I am going to tell you more about your mind and what its potential is.
The truth is that the potential of the mind is vast. But if you read the above facts about your mind, you knew that already.
The truth is that you and everyone else has genius potential.
But you will tap into the genius potential of the mind and its great computing powers only if you live a Low Density Lifestyle.

How to Achieve a Low Density Lifestyle: The 12-Steps to Becoming FREE
February 9, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under FREE, High Density Lifestyle, Low Density Lifestyle
I've talked about the Low Density Lifestyle, High Density Lifestyle, and the concept of FREE (Flow/Relax/Effortless Effort).
Today I want to outline the 12 steps to becoming FREE. These are the things that if you put into practice, will help you to live a happy, healthy, vibrant, successful and enlightened life.
In tomorrow's post I will tell you what a Low Density Lifestyle can do for you, and how it can make your life a whole lot better.
After this post and tomorrow's, the postings will shift in format. What will happen next is that instead of the posts explaining what a Low Density Lifestyle is all about–which is pretty much what we've been doing so far–we're going to bounce around from category to category.
What I mean by a category is one of the 12 steps listed below, along with what is covered in tomorrow's posting about what a Low Density Lifestyle can do for you. Once we go in that new direction, we will be covering a lot of ground and a lot of interesting topics, so fasten your seat belt
If you feel like you still need to get a handle on the fundamentals of a Low Density Lifestyle, sign up for the free 5-day email course on this website. You can sign up for it by entering your name and email address in the box that occasionally pops up in front of your eyes, or you can put your info in the sign up form that appears in the top right column. I can guarantee you that you will learn a lot from the email course.
Anyway, here are the 12 steps to becoming FREE:
Diet and Nutrition: Eating a whole foods oriented diet.
Health and Wellness: Being proactive with your health and becoming empowered and educated as to how the body and mind work and what it takes to be healthy.
Movement and Exercise: Take up a regular practice of movement and exercise, especially the types that emphasize flow.
Flexibility of Body and Mind: Being able to be flexible with your body and your mind, so that you don't hold onto dogmas and become rigid and unyielding with the way you think or move.
Mindfulness: Being aware of your actions and reactions in your daily life.
Integrity: Being ethical, being willing to do the right thing, being true to yourself and being authentic.
Attitude and Emotions: The way we see the world is the way the world operates based on our perception, so it's important to be aware of your attitude towards yourself and others.
Abundance: Are you willing to share of yourself, because you believe there is plenty to go around, or are you immersed in a scarcity mindset, where you believe it's every person for themselves, and you have to get yours before someone else takes it?
Laughter: Laughter and humor is so good for our health and well-being. 'Nuff said on that.
The Dreamer: Are you using your dreaming abilities–your creative intelligence and imagination? Are or you thinking the same old same old, and going along with the tribe?
Do What You Love: When you do what you love, and love what you do, life has profound meaning.
Connecting to the Spiritual Dimension: There is a sacred aspect to life, and the more connected you are to it, the better off you are.
Jon Kabat-Zinn on Mindfulness, Effortless Effort and Non-Doing
February 7, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Effortless Effort, Low Density Lifestyle, Mindfulness
Not too long ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn, the author of Full Catastrophe Living and Wherever You Go, You Are There, gave a talk at Google on the subject of mindfulness and effortless effort.
The phrase effortless effort comes from the Chinese term wu wei, which is directly translated as non-doing.
Mindfulness and effortless effort are important tools for living a Low Density Lifestyle.
The concept of non-doing is a very difficult one for us Westerners to get, because we are used to doing, doing and even more doing. "How can we not do when there's so much to do," Westerners who contemplate wu-wei often ask – or at least this Westerner (me) did when I first learned of the term and tried to wrap my brain around it.
Anyway, I thought it would be best if I let Dr. Kabat-Zinn do the talking, and so I have posted his video from his talk at Google.
Watch it, and enjoy!

Being FREE: Flow/Relax/Effortless Effort
February 5, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under FREE, Low Density Lifestyle
The secret to living a Low Density Lifestyle is becoming FREE. In an earlier post, I explained what the acronym FREE means. It stands for Flow, Relax, Effortless Effort.
Because it is a very important concept, I want to discuss FREE a little further at length.
The Flow state is known to athletes as being "in the zone." To an athlete, this is where everything just seems to go their way. And athletes will be the first to tell you that when they are in the flow state, they perform at higher levels.
Shawn Phillips, the well-known athlete, bodybuilder and author of Strength for Life, had this to say about the subject:
From the beginning, what I was connecting with in the gym was a universal energy source. I would just feel it flowing. Even when I was twenty years old, I called the gym my church. When I was there, it wasn't about being social; it was about doing my practice. I was in it. I was in the zone.
Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, said, "Be like the fountain that overflows, not like the cistern that merely contains." In essence, this is what Flow is about. You become a circuit of energy, flowing infinitely, much like an unimpeded electrical circuit in which the electricity freely courses throughout.
Relax is something that doesn't always come easy for many people. Sure, everybody knows how to veg out. But do you know how to profoundly relax, to tap into the stillness within and the center of your being?
To find that calmness and stillness within, you can do any number of things or techniques. These can be meditation, prayer, walking in nature, speaking silently, listening to quiet engaging music, yoga, along with many other mind-body techniques.
A recent scientific study even found that relaxation techniques can beneficially affect your genes.
Relaxation is about finding your peace within the turmoil and hubbub of everyday life. Some of you may do workshops or go to retreats or go on vacations to help find that inner quiet. And that is a good thing. But the trick is to embed that knowledge into your body and mind and integrate that understanding into your daily routine, so that everywhere you go, wherever you are, you are immersed in your stillness.
When you are acting with Effortless Effort, you can labor for hours on end, at times functioning on little sleep, and yet feel full of energy and life. You are firing on all cylinders, and the universe seems like a giant playground. You love what you do and you do what you love.
Interestingly enough, there are times when stress has a positive connotation. There is a term, eustress, which is the positive aspect of stress. In this case, a person is very busy, doing many things, but they are thriving in the midst of it, and loving how productive they are. A person in this situation is in full Effortless Effort mode. To an observer, it would seem as if this person is pushing themselves far too much and burning themselves out. But to the person immersed in Effortless Effort, they are thriving because they are firing on all cylinders and feeling alive, vibrant and awake.
And so, this is what being FREE is all about. Remember the formula? It's LDL = FREE. Keep that in mind–it will help you to live a Low Density Lifestyle.
The Low Density Lifestyle: The Secret to Becoming FREE
January 27, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under FREE, Low Density Lifestyle
To live a Low Density Lifestyle, all you have to do is become FREE. In this case, FREE is an acronym that stands for:
Effortless Effort
Let's break that down some – I'll explain what I mean:
Flow: Flow is the state of feeling fully in synch and in harmony with the universal flow that permeates throughout. You feel like you are in the zone at these times. The author and creativity researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi defines flow as:
" 'Total control' of one's own mind is in fact too strong an expression to describe accurately what happens when one is in flow. The point is not that one can always do what one wants, but rather that the possibility of making things happen as one wishes is present in a way that seldom occurs in 'real' life.' "
Relax: Relax means finding the calmness and stillness within. When this happens, you can find your center and your balance. You can also find peace, because you are able to shut out all the static and noise that circulates all over the place.
There is a Spanish saying, "Cuán hermoso es de no hacer nada, y entonces descansar después." This wise traditional proverb translates as, "How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then to rest afterward."
And yet, so many of us are like a chicken without a head, running around here, there and everywhere, with a frantic energy. One of the big problems of modern day society is that so many people are burning their candle out at both ends. The Chinese philosophers would say that people are burning out their yin, their nourishing aspect.
Effortless Effort: Effortless Effort is something the ancient Chinese philosophers called wu wei. The state of effortless effort describes a condition in which you are busy with effort, yet it seems effortless, as if the world seems to be working for you. You feel calm yet alert, focused yet receptive, drawing force from the storm while standing in its eye, acutely using all your senses. Like a marathoner who feels pulled forward, you accomplish the most with a minimum of energy. In this state hard work does not feel like work at all.
And so, when you practice these essential characteristics—flow, relax and effortless effort—you promote a Low Density Lifestyle for yourself. An easy way to make these a part of your life is to commit to memory the simple formula: LDL = FREE. That prescription stands for Low Density Lifestyle = Flow/Relax/Effortless Effort.

Orbitz Worldwide
"Good so far "
I have been working at Orbitz Worldwide full-time (less than a year)
Seems like everyone I work with enjoys being there, no real disgruntled employees that I have come across. Everyone so far has been a pleasure to work with and a positive vibe. Let's be honest that really what makes or breaks a job is the people you work with.
Great office, nice location.
Compensation is on par with competitors.
A little too software happy, you have to log any vacation or time off twice in separate systems. Stupid red tape with dealing with issues like getting locked out of machine or hardware stuff.
You must submit your hours weekly (Replicon).
No personal mail of any kind allowed, which I have never encountered before any any company. It's not critical but every now and then there may be a package that you have to have delivered at work, but that wont happen here.
No 401k match for the entire first year, another first experience for me and a surprise given the size of the company.
PTO is on the stingy side, 12 days of vacation a year.
Ease up on the personal mail, we spend the majority of our week in the office...at least let us pick up important deliveries from the mail room, you dont have to deliver it. Remove redundancy from employee tools, kill replicon.

I have been working at Orbitz Worldwide full-time (more than 5 years)
ProsIt is rare you can work at a company that gets to build products for an industry (travel) that is changing as much as it has in the past few years. With the advent of mobile, consumers are traveling in totally different ways and Orbitz is a great place to apply cutting edge technology to these new opportunities. People at Orbitz are smart, very tech savvy, but approachable and willing to learn. Teams genuinely strive to do great work and make a difference in the space. From a ecommerce and mobile commerce perspective - nothing comes close in the Midwest in terms of a place to work that drives this many global transactions and scale.
ConsThe market is competitive and Orbitz hasn't been able yet to really hit its stride. This contrast is drawn sharper by recent competitive wins. Employees are fairly loyal and have been yearning to achieve a breakout year/performance that seems to be just beyond reach. The good news here is that people are genuinely interested in seeing the company and their fellow employees succeed and through their determination/savvy may eventually make it so.
Advice to ManagementAdviceKeep the focus. Build unique and valuable products.

I have been working at Orbitz Worldwide full-time (more than 3 years)
ProsI have been at Orbitz for a few years and I am continually impressed by the quality of the people here and their passion for the business. We are making good progress in the key areas laid out by the leadership team and we are beginning to see the payoff, particularly in areas like Mobile. The leadership team is approachable and Orbitz is a pretty flat structure meaning it's easy to get your ideas heard.
ConsOrbitz has fewer people than some of our larger competitors, but just as much to get done. It means everyone has a lot on their plate and so it's hard to do everything.
Advice to ManagementAdviceThere are a lot of things happening and people are pulled in a lot of directions - clarifying what is truly important to help people focus would be a huge help.

Did you know?
Lanning scored an unbeaten century in just her second match for the Southern Stars against England in 2011.
Bats Right Hand
Meg Lanning is fast becoming a superstar of women's cricket. Despite her young age, the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars captain has made a big impact at both domestic and international level.
She made her domestic debut for Victoria in 2008 at the age of 16 and quickly settled into the top order. Lanning had a breakout domestic season in 2011-12 in which she claimed the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) T20 Player of the Year award, as well as the Sharon Tredrea Trophy and Cathryn Fitzpatrick Award for the WNCL and Women's T20 Player of the Year respectively for the Commonwealth Bank VicSpirit.
Lanning finished as the third-highest run scorer at the 2012 ICC Women's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka andwas rewarded with selection in the Team of the Tournament. Her results also saw her become the first player to score over 30 runs in five consecutive T20 internationals.
Lanning enjoyed a record-breaking season in 2012-13 at international, domestic and club level. In December 2012 at the age of 20 she broke the record for the fastest 50 and fastest 100 in an ODI by an Australian female cricketer.
She required only 23 balls to reach her half-century, then went on to notch her ton from just 45 balls. Her knock included 18 fours and three sixes and saw her overtake Karen Rolton on the honour roll, who took 57 balls to reach the milestone in 2000.
While playing for Victoria in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) earlier that season Lanning broke the record for the highest individual score in a WNCL match when she hit 175, including 27 boundaries, against the ACT Meteors; once again eclipsing Rolton (173).
Only eight days after snatching the WNCL record, Lanning broke the record for the highest score in a Victorian Women's Cricket Association (VWCA) match. Playing for Box Hill, she posted 241 off 136 balls, which included 34 fours and four sixes.
She capped off her season by helping the Southern Stars claim the ICC Women's World Cup in India in early 2013, a tournament in which she notched her fourth one-day international (ODI) century in against New Zealand.
Lanning took over as full-time ODI captain in 2014, after leading the T20 side earlier that year and filling in with the 50-over side in Jodie Fields' absence due to injury. She went on to lead the Southern Stars to a clean sweep of Pakistan in both ODI and T20 series.
