I love this shoe. I wish I had ordered a pair sooner. They're a comfortable wedge you can endure all day long even if you have a job where you're on your feet!

Rated 4 out of 5 by BrittM Adorable shoe!
This is my ninth pair of shoes by Tory Burch. They are gorgeous and such a versatile piece for any wardrobe. The shoe fits so comfortably, and the heel is just perfect. I don't typically like to wear heels around the office, but this wedge is so easy on my feet. The only problem I've experienced is the tightness in the toe area. My left foot fits perfectly, but my right foot feels to be too tight towards the front of the shoe. I'm hoping the leather will relax a bit like my Sophia's. Other than that, it's a great shoe. I recommend buying true to size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eld400 The best shoe!
I love this shoe and it is so comfortable. My usual size in TB is 8 1/2 which is what I ordered in this shoe, and it fit perfectly. I already have a similar TB peep toe with lower wedge and am glad I purchased the higher wedge because it is the perfect height. I was contemplating between another shoe and am so happy with my final decision. This is definitely a classic!

Rated 5 out of 5 by adschlaht So comfy!
These fit very true to size unlike most TB shoes. I usually wear a 9 in TB and and 8 1/2 in other shoes. I had to exchange these for an 8 1/2 because the 9's were too big. They are very comfy and flattering on the foot!

Love, love, love this shoe! It's perfect. Great heel/wedge height. Comfortable enough to wear all day! I wear them with everything!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Blondeinabmw Classic Tory!
I was excited to see these on sale in the store recently as I'd been considering another pair of high wedges to expand my basics already in rotation. I have the Amanda high wedge and absolutely love it. Leticia is very similar, and seems to be on the same last as the Amanda. The cushioning in the footbed is fantastic. The heel is high, but the shoe is well balanced so you don't feel like all your weight is on the ball of your foot. They are true to size and well crafted, so there seems to be little break-in period beyond a wearing as the leather stretches and conforms to your foot. Definitely a great purchase and worth the investment. They are versatile and look great with jeans and casual looks as well as my work clothes. I bought the tan color, which is a nice neutral, not quite as caramel as it looks in the photo. And the heel makes my legs look long!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steph716 Beautiful and so comfortable!
I have wanted these shoes for over a year and was so happy to snag them when they were on sale! I had been on the fence about size because I'm usually a true 8, but had read that the toe box was very tight so some people went half a size up, but then had issues with sliding out of the shoe. I ordered the 8 and they fit PERFECTLY! I had no time to break them in before wearing them to a wedding. I had them on for 7 hours straight and they are SO COMFORTABLE! No blisters, no pain on the balls of my feet... the wedge definitely helps. They are so flattering. I got compliments all day. I love that they can be worn with dresses or jeans. They're perfect. I should mention that I have a wider foot and have owned 4 pairs of Tory flats that usually require a rigorous breaking-in period. I'm so happy that these were so comfortable. Thank you!

Weekly Challenge #6
I've never been able to meditate. Funnily enough, I think it's because I'm too anxious. Alex and I once went to an evening meditation workshop for a story he was working on, and the whole time I sat there trying to figure out where we should go to dinner afterward. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point.
But meditation can actually make you happier. According to a fascinating New York Times article, researchers have shown that daily meditation-like thought can shift brain activity toward "positive emotional states...that make us more likely to engage the world rather than to withdraw from it." In the study, participants were told to "relax with their eyes closed, focus on their breathing, and acknowledge and release any random thoughts that might arise," and voila! With as little as five minutes of meditating a day, "a happier outlook is yours for the taking."
So! Who wants to give it a go? This week's challenge is to meditate for 10 minutes a day. Because if it really makes you calmer and happier, then 10 minutes would be worth it, right?
Andy Puddicombe, author of Get Some Headspace: How Mindfulness Can Change Your Life in Ten Minutes a Day, says it's best to meditate first thing in the morning, if possible, and in the same place every time. "Avoid judging your meditation," he told the Huffington Post. "It is tempting to think you are 'good' or 'bad' at meditation. In truth, there is no such thing...Taming the mind is a skill to develop over a lifetime."
What do you think? Have you ever meditated? Did you feel good afterward? Would you be up for trying it?
P.S. Are you too busy? Also, cat bounce.

Are you spying on me? My husband and our cat recently started meditating together for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening. Both are thriving, but especially the cat.

oh, and I took a Mindfulness Based Stress reduction class and my therapist taught me to think of my thoughts as if they were on a conveyor belt. Don't judge them they come in on the belt and out on the belt and over time there are just fewer of them on the belt.
- Unknown said...
When I first started meditating, I used to spend the whole time thinking "man, I'm going to be so happy and so relaxed now that I'm meditating. I can't wait to feel free of my anxiety." This, obviously, was defeating the purpose. It took me so long to turn off all the brain-chatter ABOUT my meditation!
BUT I have had some really positive experiences since sticking with a meditation practice. The best way to describe it is a kind of buoyancy that I feel more often now. I feel closer to my intuition and farther away from that brain-chatter. - 3:52 PM

- Theresa / InspirationCOOP said...
Ha, I had the same result when I first tried to meditate - My mind wandered and starting thinking of things I needed to do. I recently gave it another go when I read the book, May Cause Miracles, and achieved much better success. In the book, you're asked to mediate for 1-5 minutes every morning as soon as you get up and every night right before you go to bed, and repeat a simple mantra during both. I think the short time span is what helped me stick with it. I have fallen off and need to get back to the practice, so I'm in. Good luck!

I can't meditate...I'm all over the place thinking about too many things. Can't do yoga that focuses on breathing or meditation - stress the hell out of me! But I love love love Birkram yoga. I feel so relaxed and cleanse inside out, it is an amazing experience...afterwards 'cause during it can be challenging ;-)
but having done 16 years of classical ballet when I was young, it's the best thing I've done since I gave up ballet...love how much it pushes my body towards flexibility & inner peace - 3:55 PM
- Lara said...
Hi Joanna! I love your blog, and read it religiously. Anyway, I just wanted to throw my two cents in on this topic. Meditation has had an incredibly positive impact on my life, particularly as someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety. I once read somewhere that saying that you're too anxious for mediation is like saying that you're too dirty to take a bath. :) What I mean to say is that I've found that it can really be beneficial for these types of struggles, as it strengthens the mental "muscles" that are so compromised by those conditions. So, I hope you enjoy your experiment! It's very tough at first, and as someone above said, some days are much easier than others, but, to me at least, has really changed my outlook for the better. I really enjoy Gabrielle Bernstein's guided meditations. Keep up the excellent work on the blog. Love, Lara

I've struggled on and off with depression, and I recently in the beginning of March just accepted that I had SADs and needed an antidepressant every winter. I also started a mindfulness 8-week program at the same time. Within 3 weeks, I stopped the antidepressant because I knew I could handle it without after starting that program. Now I treat meditation like a 'dose' of medicine every day to tune myself.
- Mary said...
I have a hard time with it too, but I do often try. I try to take ten minutes after my boys go to bed. I sit on the floor (somehow it's easier on the floor as opposed to a couch or chair). Silence is especially appreciated at that time of day, so sitting still and savoring it is a pleasure, not a chore or something I feel like I should be doing. I don't always manage it, but I can say that it definitely helps calm me and focus my thoughts, and especially after that most crazy time of day, I need it!
- Princess Kayel said...
I might even try it! Who wouln't want to be happy!

- joyful.mara said...
Let's do this! The idea of meditation has been popping up around me lately and I think that is a clear sign it is time to give it another try. I also believe I am bad at it and can't get my mind to stop so I give up without really trying it over an extended time. And 10 minutes a day...I can definitely do that.
- Alaina Kleinbeck said...
I practice contemplation which is a Christian prayer form that mirrors Eastern meditation in many ways.
Anyway, I am a busymind, so focusing is not my forte. I found that having an index card and pen nearby where I could jot the idea that was bothering me helped me to focus. I could put the thought (usually something like: buy spinach) on the card and then I didn't worry about forgetting it.
It isn't quite the purest way of getting into a mediative state, but it helps my mind relax on my way there. - 4:14 PM
- Nancy said...
I think (even if it is said not to think it) I am bad in meditating, but I have been trying and I will keep on trying because I think it will benefit you. I will be spending one week in France in June for meditation, yoga and writing and I am really looking forward to it (and to be honest, I am a bit scared too).
And... I would like to give you a tip: Deepak Chopra has got free meditations every once in a while. The last one was last March together with Oprah Winfrey. You sign up and every day (for 30 days) you receive an email to log in to a meditation - he will guide you to better health or abundance - it's really cool to participate and easy to do since you have a guideline. And in the end he rings a bell for you so you know the session is over :)
So even now, I will again try to meditate - together with you. Let's start with tomorrow morning. I set for 10 minutes.

I'm reading the book Mindful Birthing right now and it is so good! You should check it out!
- Caitlin Dodge said...
I used to go to a Buddhist meditation hour during college on Thursday evenings. The trick that someone taught me there (which is the only way that I can focus) is this: when your mind wanders, focus on the space one centimeter from the tip of your nose. It forces your eyes to relax, looking forward & down, and it's very difficult to think of other things when you are thinking about the space right off the tip of your nose, because not much is going on there.
I don't meditate often enough, but when I do I find myself becoming calmer and less irritable.
- bRob said...
"relax with their eyes closed, focus on their breathing, and acknowledge and release any random thoughts that might arise," -- that's called a nap. I'm really good at that.
- Mami said...
I practice Hot Yoga and definitely feel like I meditate during those first 5-10 minutes where we are performing a breathing exercise. Your post made me realize that. Hooray!
- lisaathome said...
I meditated every day in college when I was suffering from anxiety and overall sadness.
I really need to get back to it as it was incredibly helpful in bringing me to a place of calm during a very stressful time. - 4:33 PM
- Dinner-Pal said...
I totally believe in meditation but as a mother of two little ones, I find it very hard to sit still and just meditate. Instead I try to empty my mind at the gym and just focus on my body and that moment. I think that's better than nothing, right?!
- Philline Dilao said...
A friend/yoga teacher tried to get me to meditate regularly in college, but I always found it too hard back then. Now that I practice yoga daily, I make sure to always meditate at the end and it is so relaxing! I got to a point recently where I meditate in a seated position, I start feeling my energy(!?) swaying me back and forth. crazy.
- Vanessa Marie said...
I use the Simply Being app for iphone when I'm anxiously tossing and turning and can't sleep. It's works like a charm every time! I've never really used it during the day but I'm sure it would be just as beneficial. I recommend the app to anyone looking for a guided way to meditate :)
- rae said...
Susan Piver created the Open Heart Project which sets up 10 minute meditations daily. I found my personal mantra through her: "no hope no fear" which basically helps me to find a place for all my anxious thoughts-- they always fit in one of the two buckets. Then I can be done with them and live in the moment. http://susanpiver.com/open-heart-project/
- Alegria said...
Hi Joanna! I also have a very anxious mind, but I've been practicing meditation every single day for about 8 years now, and it's become such a part of my wellbeing that I would just feel strange not doing it one day. I love it. Here are a few tips I learned over the years that can help you:
- Start small, don't be too hard on yourself. 5 minutes is a great start, and it will naturally, effortlessly increase with time.
- I meditate first thing in the morning; I've found that keeping it for later in the day is too difficult as I never know how my day will be.
- You can calm your mind and nervous system with some breathing (pranayam) before you sit in silence-- try alternate nostril breathing (sitali pranayam) or ujjayi breathing. This is the tip I wish I had followed way back when I started; it makes my meditation 10 times easier and enjoyable.
- Sitting in silence is wonderful, but for busy minds repeating a mantra can be much easier, because you have something to focus on and come back to again and again. You can repeat it out loud (better yet, sing it), whisper it or repeat it mentally; the easiest is out loud.
Enjoy! With Love

- Gabriella said...
Meditation has been very useful for me, and I try to do it every day, along with going to a meditation center in NYC for classes, group meditations, and talks (useful to share the experience with others, I've learned.) I also found it hard to calm my thoughts at first, but one the books I read and very much recommend -- "Turning the Mind Into an Ally"-- speaks about the mind as a horse that you gently, patiently, and persistently tame over time. It truly is a practice like any other, and I think it has great rewards.
- Ellen said...
I'm an RYT 200 (yoga teacher) and teach guided meditations to students in my class for anxiety and depression. If you're worried about how to tether your focus and whether or not your anxiety might creep in while you meditate, I would recommend that as you sit for your 5-10 minutes, use the breath as an anchor.
A great exercise for anxiety in particular is to count the beats of your inhalation and exhalation, eventually getting your exhalation to be twice as long as your inhalation. For example, inhale through the nose for 3 counts, exhale through the nose for 6. Following the breath keeps the mind anchored in the moment; the extended exhalation relaxes the body.
Best of luck! Meditation--or, honestly, just stillness and silence--is something we can all benefit from.

- MC said...
A technique that I read in a book by Thich Naht Hanh has made my transitions into meditation easier. When you sit you simply watch your breath, like always, but say "In/out, deep/slow, calm/ease, smile/release." Each set of words corresponds with a breath cycle. You don't change your breath, you just watch and it will slow down as you breath in and out and say the corresponding word in your head. Sometimes I do it for the full 10-20 minutes, other times just at the beginning to stop the chatter in my mind. Love it.
- Shannon of HAPPINESS IS said...
I recently started up a little practice - 20 minutes before I go to bed. But I sit up, so I won't fall asleep (sometimes I still do, but hey).
One thing that really helps is guided meditations. Helps your mind wander less. I wrote about some good ones if you're interested...

Never thought I'd admit that I really enjoy it, I battled with my monkey brain for a long time, but did a six week mindfullness course and now I really enjoy taking three or ten minutes (find I'm much more successful using a guided meditation like calm.com)
Plus I'm trying to kick in the mindfulness a bit more with my new blogging project! Nothing like a breakup to inspire a bit of self improvement right?

I used to meditate every so often before bed. I have trouble shutting my mind down when I'm trying to fall asleep, so focusing on my breathing and calming down that way was really helpful. Sometimes I would start to fall asleep while I was still sitting up, haha!
- zoe said...
I just started meditating in February... I thought I would never be able to do it but when they say it can change your life they mean it! A whole world can open up. It's pretty awesome :) Can't wait to see how you find it!!
- KJ said...
I really like the exhale vs. inhale counting - thanks for the tip! I think that would be very calming at night too, as a way to calm your mind as you fall asleep.
- Jules Elle said...
I love meditating it is very calming. It really helped me relax especially during finals. :) I wish you the best of luck
- Lisa Johnson said...
I meditate for 15 minutes most everyday. Usually soon before turning in for the night. It's taken about a year to work up to the 15 minutes. It's definitely a lifetime practice, because it feels different each time. The days that I'm most upset and restless are the days that it's the hardest. I live just outside Boston, last Monday, on the night of the bombing, when I most needed to sit and be calm, I just couldn't do it at all.

I had a horriblehorrible bout of insomnia last year. I did not sleep for close to three weeks.I tried so many different medications and no.thing.helped. The only thing that finally broke the sleeplessness was this kind of cheezy meditation hypnosis podcast for free on itunes... glenn harold... it's 45 minutes long and i would listen to it twice and i finally slept one night for 3 hours. the next night for close to 5. I think it saved my mind. I try to make time for it in the mornings now. right there in bed before even getting up, i put ear buds and ease into the day for a few minutes. i always have a better day when i do this. Thanks Joanna!

Hi Joanna.
Your friend almost definitely went to Maharishi School in Iowa (see www.maharishischooliowa.org ) which is quite an incredible school.
As you say, all the kids practice Transcendental Meditation, and hatha yoga too, all the way through from K through to 12 and the results are quite stunning (the 3 hour program is an elective, and only part of it includes TM).
There are very few of the problems schools normally suffer from (drugs, violence, etc.), students win all kinds of awards (particularly anything to do with creativity), they don't get so stressed out at exam time and despite the absence of any admission criteria over 95% go on to college and many to top schools like Harvard, MIT, Wellsley, Smith etc. Some though choose to go on to Maharishi University of Management next door (see www.mum.edu), a fully accredited University offering Bachelors through to PhD programs that also integrates Transcendental Meditation and yoga into the curriculum.
Both are well worth a visit for anyone who wants to develop their brain and succeed in all worldly their aspirations too. I should know as I'm an alumnus of the University, and my daughter an alumna of the school.

I too have a very busy mind, not always anxious, but definitely noisy! As others suggested, I found guided meditation the easiest to practice, and in short sessions. A month ago, I started Andy Puddicombe's 'Get Some Headspace' 10 day series. I initially chose it because it was free and a short time commitment (10min/day), but I've really enjoyed it, and felt like it had a positive impact on other parts of my life.
- chocolateprn said...
i used to be really great at shavasana and would almost fall asleep in class. i started to use it to fall asleep at night - amazing how well it worked. now that i am pregnant, my prenatal class instructor leads a meditation at the end of every class and she also instructs our prenatal aquafit class where she ends ever class with a guided meditation. i love it and have looked online for some guided meditations to use in labour. youtube has some videos and ideas if you are interested. Curious if anyone reading has any recommendations for me?
- Joann Liu said...
I do this too! And then follow it up with gratitude meditation, where I ask for wellness, peace, happiness, calm for myself; then once through for someone I love; and then once through for someone I am struggling with at the moment.
Then follow it up with some EFT, and it's a pretty nice transition into my morning! - 9:29 PM
- Larissa said...
The website www.calm.com offers 2, 10, or 20 minute 'guided relaxations'. I have never been able to meditate on my own but this site is a huge help!
- Spags said...
Guided meditations always help me a great deal. There are tons of scripts and audios available online/itunes/etc., and the visualizations keep my anxious mind a little more engaged. My favorite is picturing myself at a river, watching the water rush by, and when a thought pops up to place it on a leaf and watch it float down the river. Instead of leaves it could be anything really, boats on a lake, balloons floating off, clouds floating across the sky--anything moving that you can place a thought on and watch float away.
Best of luck!!! - 9:48 PM

After I had my second baby and was extremely anxious and stressed, I tried: Meditations for Beginners by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It was SO HELPFUL in getting back to sleep after a night feeding when my mind was racing. The meditations are short and easy and he has an amazing voice. Plus he is one of the very early founders of the whole meditation movement in the US and he understands the challenges that skeptical beginners are facing as they try to meditate for the first time. I highly recommend it. Also he has a great book on mindful parenting written with his wife that is also worth reading.
- Kate said...
My parents have meditated for years and years. They would sauna in the mornings and then meditate before we got up for school. I still remember how confused I was when they told me that meditating wasn't about concentrating on one thing - it was about concentrating on nothing! It made no sense. I was such a worrier when I was little and I would stress myself out while falling asleep so badly that I would be up for hours, but my dad taught me how to "meditate" by counting backwards from 10 and concentrating on only the number until all other thoughts were cleared from my mind...then you move on to 9, and then when all thoughts are gone but "9" you go to 8, and so on. If other thoughts start crowding in during a digit, you patiently clear them away and try to focus again on the number. It can take some time, but it's worth it :)
When I got older and started spending the night at friends' houses, I used the trick to help me calm down and fall asleep when I started getting to nervous about being away from home. I still use it to this day when my mind is racing for one reason or another, and I usually fall asleep before I can get to the number 4!
I think that meditation being a normal part of our household's daily routine helped me to (hopefully) grow up a slightly more patient, quiet-appreciating, aware person. I also find that knitting in a silent room both opens and calms my mind in the same sort of way. I hope you find it as beneficial and enjoyable! - 10:42 PM
- Brittany said...
Back in November I went to Bhutan, the theme of the trip being meditation. It was obviously very easy to relax with such beautiful and natural surroundings, but as soon as I arrived back to my life and to the city, I lost that ease of doing so and eventually gave up completely.
Maybe I'll pick it up again! :) - 10:43 PM
- LRB said...
I've been meditating (almost) every morning for the past 10 years. My boyfriend at the time gave me the gift of meditation as a birthday gift. It has changed my life for the best, instilled a deep & true confidence in me and a level of patience that I never had before. Even though it's not for everyone, there's a comfort in knowing that those that are heavy meditatators are pushing (recycling) positive energy out there.

I am an anxious, flighty-minded mess a lot of the time but I am loving the recent challenge I took up of trying to quieten my mind and meditate.
I'm definitely feeling calmer overall. I also feel like I am doing a really, really good thing for myself!
I'm using an iPhone app called Smiling Mind that does guided meditation. I think they have a website too :) - 12:38 AM

I am all for it, even though I don't do it often enough, but I try to still my self at least once a day, even though it's not real deep meditation I almost consider it that since it gives a lot, like new outlook on problems or just being more relaxed. But, the real pro in my family is my grandmother, who is soon turning 101! She's been meditating daily for the last 50 years and taught the art of meditation to thousands of people in Sweden, being an authorative in the field. She's wonderful and I have written about her on my blog since I think she's such a great example how it can prolong and enhance life. She taught me that, and to always keep Champagne in the fridge to celebrate the small things! Caroline

I did a 30-day yoga challenge this winter and originally I dismissed the meditation component of it. Then I realized that the few minutes when the class was done, where I was just breathing, reflecting and well, meditating, really grounded me. I had a few minutes to feel good about accomplishments, reset for the following day and it energized my soul. I stopped a bit once the 30-day challenge was up and was going to get started again tonight. I notice how much I miss it and feel a little 'off'. This is perfect timing. So long answer short? I'm in.

Listening to Adele's "Rollin' in the Deep" the radio station studio version, if you let it, can produce a feeling a clear and clean energy. I meditate. Music is an equal.

There's a buddhist monastery in Port Jervis (about an hour north of NYC) and I found out a year ago that a guy I dated in HS was LIVING there! He invited me up for a guided meditation workshop and it was so fascinating. I was anxious the entire time we were meditating - the room was so quiet and I was so nervous that my stomach would start growling and I'd mess up everyone's meditation. Then, when the instructor prompted me to open my eyes, I was so surprised to find that I was so calm and focused. We grabbed tea in the adjoining cafe afterward and had the most profound philosophical discussions. It was such a great experience and I really want to go back for one of their weekend retreats!
- Christina said...
I used to feel too distracted to meditate, but then a massage therapist told me a trick that really helps clear my mind. Whenever another thought pops into your head, like, did I take out the trash, or I forgot to answer that email... just say in response, "oh well." Any thought that enters your mind, just take a deep breath and think or even say out loud, oh well, as many times as you need to. Because it's ok, whatever it is will be there when you're done, and for now, it doesn't matter. Just two words - Oh Well. It has helped me tremendously. I meditate and do yoga a few times a week and it does wonders for my anxiety. Thumbs up, Joanna! You can do it! Oh well! :)
- Dani said...
I couldn't sleep last night (sick baby) and remembered your dad's tip from the post a few days ago... Totally helped me release tension I didn't realize I was holding in my shoulders. Anyway, I also thought about this for you: when I was pregnant and struggling with the racing night thoughts I downloaded some episodes of The Meditation Podcast (official name, free) from iTunes and oh man, the ones where the man does the talking put me right to sleep! You should try them!
- librarytour said...
I've made attempts at meditation on and off for probably a decade now. Read a book. Took a class. Listened to a lecture. Downloaded a podcast but never listened to it. Tried it alone. Tried it with groups. Attempted on the MBTA subway. My cat actually gets in the WAY of my meditation efforts by ceaselessly begging for attention.
I've long known that I'm fairly stumped by consistency. Can't even take vitamins every day!
I expect my meditation journey will continue much in the same vein as above, as long I feel the practice still contains value for me, which it does. - 10:52 AM

- Here Now Brown Cow said...
I have meditated in classes for a while now, but have only just begun going it alone at home. I found the main thing is to have the time and space set up so that you can't talk yourself out of it, just do it. Once you start, you'll see so many benefits you'll be creating time to do it more! More on my journey here http://herenowbrowncow.wordpress.com/category/meditation-2/

I think someone else already commented about Jon Kabat-Zinn, but he is worth repeating. He has a great book...'Wherever You Go There You Are' about mindfulness meditation. It also comes with guided meditations...10, 20, 30 minutes sitting or lying down. I too suffer from insomnia and meditating daily, even if only 5 minutes, has truly made a difference. It really helps my mind from spinning at night and lets me fall back asleep. Try it, Joanna.
- Jennifer Beaudet said...
I think Oprah did a piece on that town. It was very interesting and it seemed like everyone was happy. I've tried meditating as well and can't seem to get to that place. I actually ended up falling asleep...must have too tired! I'm reading a book from Dr. Dyer right now and it's all about controlling your thought. Meditation is a big part of it. You need to be able to quiet your mind of all that chatter. Not an easy thing to do for an anxious person. Good post! Have a great weekend Joanna:)
- kbd said...
the only thing that helps calm my mind is to hear the sound of a tsing-tsa. One of my yoga teachers used it, and now I have my own. Maybe it would be something you'd find helpful, too!
- oneawkwardyear said...
Oh I would love to try this! I was just writing about how much trouble I have at Yoga during the meditative parts - but how, even though I can't get my mind to turn off, I find that the thoughts that fill it tend to be good ones. I go from "GAH work! money! stress!" to thoughts of how excited I am for an upcoming visit, how happy the warm weather makes me, how much I love juice (ha) or things like that. So while I'm not totally clear, I find that the happy thoughts do make things a little easier - and this from a similarly anxious gal. Thanks for the challenge, Joanna - I'll be joining you! xo Liz
- Ashley Cline said...
I consider the time I spend each day in my garden a form of meditation. I feel really calm and at peace once I am finished. I know everyone doesn't have the same reaction to plants but they kinda force you to slow down and not fret about the little things.
- emmy d said...
I've always been unsure of how to time meditation! Do you put on a timer so you know when 10 minutes is up? I've always thought that would be a jarring way to finish a meditation session. I anticipate when the clock is going to go off. Any suggestions?
- emmy d said...
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to try that app.
- Unknown said...
My daily form of meditation is prayer and worship. When I connect with God, I regain a sense of peace, purpose, and child-like wonder. Knowing that Someone is in control who knows EXACTLY what to do (even more than I, in any situation), makes me feel secure and safe. :)
- Kate C. said...
When I go to yoga (which I try to attend weekly) I still have a tough time shutting off my thoughts and just focusing on the practice. It definitely has gotten easier, but took a year or so before it became more natural.
xo - 2:02 PM
- agapelife said...
I'll do it too.
I used to meditate pretty regularly - I pray every day, but it's not exactly the same.
And yes - it's okay that you kept thinking about where to go to dinner when you meditated - that's exactly the point!
The point is to teach yourself to quiet your mind, you're not going to be good at it right away! - 2:17 PM

- Sharna said...
I totally agree with the blowing off meditation at the end of yoga! Once I embraced it, it really did start to make a difference. It's like taking a tiny nap, and waking up feeling refreshed!
I think the key is to focus on positive things you have done or accomplished. It's a great time for self reflection.

ALL about Jon Kabat-Zinn. Recently saw him talk in London. Just a gentle, encouraging, philosophical approach to meditation. There's a great google talk with him on Youtube and I massively recommend his book Wherever You Go, There You Are.
I try to meditate but can't quite do it often enough. A clear sign I desperately need to meditate. I'm a strong believer that it makes for calmer, less anxious living. - 5:28 PM

I discovered this website a few months ago. It leads you through a guided relaxation for 2, 10, or 20 minutes. You can pick what calming sounds and background to listen to, like a beach or a river or just the wind in the fields. It a lovely way to take a break while still on your computer.

For all those who want to meditate, but feel like their mind is too active to get much relaxation from it, there's an incredible breathing technique called Sudarshan Kriya that naturally brings you into that peaceful state so you can go deep into meditation with ease. It's taught by the Art of Living Foundation in the US and throughout the world. Highly recommend it!

Emmy I have a couple different ocean tracks that I use. One in particular is 20 minutes long and when there is about a minute and a half left on the track you start to hear seagulls. They act like a timer for me and I usually use the rest of the track to allow myself time to readjust back to the present.

The WNU Radiation Technology School has got off to a great start in Daejeon, South Korea. Hosted by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety, Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences, Korea Radioisotope Association, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co and supported by the IAEA and the World Council on Isotopes, the school runs until 1 June.
Forty fellows from 19 countries, seen with their mentors in the photo below, heard on their first day from IAEA Deputy Director General – Daud Mohamad - about his organisation's work in this field. There was also a forward-looking presentation from ANSTO's Professor Richard Banati covering everything from the use of nuclear technologies in diagnosing mental illnesses to determining the effect of plastic waste on the oceans.
Nuclear technologies play a vital role in many areas other than just power generation. More can be found out in WNA's Info Papers on Radioisotopes in Medicine and Radioisotopes in Industry.

Paris is a can't-miss destination for romantics, culture buffs and foodies alike. Let Expedia help you explore the City of Lights from the sky-high Eiffel Tower to the Gothic Notre Dame with our selection of the top hotels in Paris, France. Grab your map, and get ready for a très chic adventure.
Cheap Hotel Deals in Paris: Where to Stay
Paris is famous for its selection of charming hotels, and you can find several inexpensive options in the city's best neighborhoods. If you're searching for a luxurious experience in an iconic setting, try the 5 star hotels near the Champs-Élysées. Named for the tree-lined main boulevard that features both the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde, this district combines modern style with a classically romantic atmosphere. Plus, it's a great spot to browse designer brands and check out the top perfumeries, so trend-setters will feel right at home at the Paris hotels here.
If boutique hotels speak to your style, head for the St-Germain-des-Prés district. This neighborhood is known for its expensive properties, but it's not difficult to track down small, affordable inns near the area's lovely cafes and lush gardens. Just make sure to book your reservations well in advance; this area is coveted by travelers, and the cheap options tend to fill up quickly.
Of course, hotels in Paris aren't only about luxurious amenities and cool neighborhoods. Families may want to cozy up to a Disneyland Paris hotel for its proximity to the world-renowned park. You'll find the same impeccable service as other resorts in Paris, but you'll also be surrounded by inimitable Disney magic. Plus, the area is well-serviced by transportation options, so you can plan a Paris vacation that hits all the must-see landmarks.

Decent beginners cycling computer?
24 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Decent beginners cycling computer?Hi,
I am after a decent quality entry level computer. Nothing fancy with unneccasary features, just the basics like speed, distance and cadence. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?Wired or wireless? Budget?
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?For wired I'd go for a Cateye Velo 8. SImple, reliable, cheap (well, online anyway).
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?Cadence makes it a bit more than 'basic' IMO. You need a second sensor, extra wiring if wired unit, extra battery to keep fresh if wireless.
I had a Vetta unit for a long time. Just basic functions, something like this one (probably the updated model). Speed, distance (2 measures), max speed, average speed, time, clock.... no cadence. One very good feature about it was that it was tricky to remove from the handlebar bracket - most people could not work it out - great for theft protection, I never removed it when I locked the bike. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?Thanks guys.
Didnt realize cadence was an advanced feature. What are the pros and cons of wired vs wireless? I'm guessing wired is cheaper and requires less batteries but looks ugly and wire gets in the way?
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
Your front light (depending on the light) can seriously make a mess of the signal from the sensor - but if you only cycle during daylight hours then that wouldn't be a problem.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?If you don't want cadence, wired can be done very neatly with a bit of thought.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?From my experience just buy yourself a Cateye micro wireless. Cateye is easily the most reliable brand. The battery seems to last forever as we'll. wires are a pain and always seem to break for me.
You don't need a cadence sensor etc. All that stuff is available for Garmins or mobile phones were the info will be downloadable and easily analyzed. All I use my Cateye computer for is checking my speed and the time.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?Cheers guys.
One last question. What is the best online shop for buying cateyes? Thanks again
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?whatevers the cheapest
Google Shopping>Search>Sort by: Price, Low to High http://www.probikeshop.com/cateye-micro ... /1855.html
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?I would suggest just going for a Garmin Edge 500. It is a bit more than a beginner one but it will stop the upgradeitis coming on to early
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
Ribble is actually cheaper. http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... atecomp503
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
Why stop there, may as well get a Garmin Edge 810 bundle, and don't forget to get a Quarq to make the most of all those features.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?Should of ponied up the extra $10. The wires are a pain in the long run.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
By the same token... I have Sigma 1609 computers on my bikes. Some Wired and the others with wireless versions. The wireless are asking for more batteries... and I ride those bikes less than I ride the wired (road) bike.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?All the Sigma's I have used have been rubbish. Poor battery life particularly.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
I replaced a Garmin with a Sigma, and it works just fine for me, no issues with battery life at all. On the other hand I'll never buy another Garmin product of any kind. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?I've been running Sigma 1606 STS's on all my bikes for years (and recently a 1609 STS on the commuter) with nary a problem. Can't say battery life is a significant issue in my world.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?I figured whats one more wire when you already have the brake and gear cables running the same paths.
Wireless has a handful of good reviews, most are negative. I like to keep things simple and low tek
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
hehe sure but I don't like the 810. Screen's to big. 500 is a better sleek unit IMO
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?
My old wireless unit didn't like my new light, the signal was getting interfered with. Wired will never let you down that way, and one less battery to worry about! I had a wired Sigma (9701 or something like that) and it never missed a beat even in the pouring rain.
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?Rd200 from cateye gets cadence into picture real cheap. If you want your bike to look pretty, you could have spent extra for internal cables and carbon frame. Oh wait, it's external wires and Alu frame? Get the damn cateye with wires. You will appreciate the garmin later. Or just use a phone with strava
Re: Decent beginners cycling computer?The only problem I had with the wired cateye, was that when it rained, the water corroded the contact points enough to disrupt the signal. Easy to fix, just wipe the contact points. It took a day to figure out, after adjusting all the magnets and realigning the detectors.
Apart from that it is a good unit.

What is the Best Test Booster
Most of these nutritional supplements help by raising hormone levels that are male, and and fosters sex drive by fostering blood flow to the penis and testicles, which enhances erectile function. Learn about male testosterone supplements.

Charlie Sheen attends the Joe Carter Classic After-Party in Toronto on Aug. 15. / Aaron Vincent Elkaim, AP
Oh, Charlie Sheen, when will you learn?
The often-quoted star made a major misstep last Friday night when he uttered a homophobic slur (the F-bomb) while appearing at the grand opening of a bar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The trouble started when he addressed the crowd at the bar of the El Ganzo Hotel with this hair-raising introduction: "Lying bunch of (gay slur) (expletive)-holes, how we doing?"
Naturally, Sheen later issued a mea culpa (sort of) for the insulting comment, which he sent to TMZ, where video of the incident had originally been posted.
"I meant no ill will and intended to hurt no one and I apologize if I offended anyone," he said. "I meant to say maggot but I have a lisp."

Serenity Seeker wrote:The thing I love most about this program is that we alcoholics can have an issue, no matter what it is... and I can go to my sponsor, this wonderful life changing tool 12Step.com, and an AA meeting and hear the same Steps and principles applied to all your affairs. Usually I hear from you what my sponsor says... that is probably because we work the same program? lol Anyway, wanted to give gratitude.
I have been praying for the strength and courage to take my second attempt at the fourth stept. My sponsor is not rushing me. in which I am grateful for. I have been practicing talking to God and turning my will and life over to him daily.
I have much fear which is getting better because I have been praying about it and listening in the rooms with my heart instead of my ears today. In my crazy head, my pain of the past I feel has so much power over me and in the past that has been my main excuse for picking up. Although, I realize today I pick up that first drink only because I am an alcoholic and have an allergy. Like many I am sure, I used it as an excuse to pick up that next drink/mind-altering substance, today that is not what I want. I just am afraid that knowing me, I will start it get into self pity mode, which with most of that I do not handle so well. However, after studying more in the BB about this step and the tools on this website, the meetings and extensive work with my sponsor and prayer, I feel the fear being removed. I realize the only way to a happy life is to take these steps with action not theory.
So, how this topic helps me tremendously as explained above. I heard in the rooms:
For most of my life I was either mad about yesterday or fearful for tomorrow.
Abandon all hope of a better past.
Today's "reactions and decisions" are tomorrow's past.
I have heard my sponsor say I do need to take the action of the fourth step, but we are slowly moving (I appreciate her for that). I trust in God to give me the stength to take this step with him. I like to beat myself up because I am not taking that action yet, but I just keep comin back to reach my higher power with my heart, speak with honesty from the heart, listen with my heart and know that I am today exactly where God wants me to be...
Dallas, thank you so much for your additional addition to these quotes I so earnestly have come to depend upon for positive affirmations in my life.
The only place the past exists is in my head.
I can only change my past by changing my present.
I hope I did not get off topic. If I did I do apologize.

- "Tough suburb. So tough I wished my Mother-in-law lived there. Serious social problems persist, including, but not limited to, drugs, gang violence, car crime, murder, stupidity and self-deception. Home to the Grove Street Families, once the toughest and most respected gang in south central Los Santos, now seriously in decline."
- ―San Andreas Official Website
Ganton is a deprived district located in the eastern part of South Central Los Santos, San Andreas. The name is a play on real life neighborhood Compton which is in Los Angeles county, north of Long Beach. However, the housing projects areas where B-Dup formerly resided is more based on and partly resembles the Imperial Courts Housing Projects of Watts Los Angeles. However, Grove Street itself takes influence from Spruce Street in Compton. Likewise, the main road in Ganton primarily resembles Rosecrans Avenue in Compton. Ganton is an African-American neighborhood.
It is bordered by Idlewood to the west, East Los Santos to the north, Willowfield to the south, and East Beach to the east. Ganton is a stronghold of the Grove Street Families, as Grove Street is located here, and is populated by many Grove Street Family gang members. These include Carl Johnson, Sweet Johnson and Lance "Ryder" Wilson. Former residents at the beginning of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas include Beverly and Brian Johnson (both deceased) and Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris (who moved to Idlewood).
Ganton has a very high crime rate, with prostitution, gang violence, car crime (especially carjackings), poverty and drugs (especially crack-cocaine) as the primariy problems. As you may notice, after dark many prostitutes, Grove St gang bangers, and drug dealers will spawn. As normal, you will see many Police Helicopters (also known as "ghetto birds") flashing spotlights on Gang members or even the player. These helicopters are not harmful to the player unless he has a 3+ star wanted level. Rarely, vehicles will drive into Grove Street itself but on rare occasions, random vehicles will drive to Grove Street and park there or make a U-turn. On the bridge going over Grove Street, if your are driving fast enough you can crash through a particular section of the wall and land into the cul-de-sac (This happened to Frank Tenpenny in the final mission of San Andreas, End of the Line). The name "Ganton" may come from a district in Edinburgh, Scotland (city where the Rockstar North HQ is located) named "Granton".
Ganton is structured as two different areas. The first area is highly residential, consists of many small, single-family houses, a bar (Ten Green Bottles), and contains a long street from the Ganton/idlewood border which runs and ends into Grove Street. There are two turns here, a smal bridge which takes you into East Los Santos and a small road that takes you into the 2nd area of Ganton. The 1st area is primarily populated by walking pedestrians (especially Grove Street itself). The 2nd area is much more busy, contains more driving pedestrians, and a long busy road which stretches from East Beach to Idlewood. The 2nd area also contains a housing projects area known as the Ganton Courts, a southern road which takes you into Willowfield, and a long high bridge which takes you over Grove Street and into East Los Santos.
There is a higher level of gang violence on the Ganton/Idlewood border. The two neighborhoods are seperated by the Los Santos train tracks running through. This is because Idlewood is a Ballas Stronghold while Ganton is a Grove Street Stronghold. It is not uncommon to see Grove/Balla shoot-out's from across the train tracks.
[show]Events of GTA San Andreas
Ganton is the main stronghold of the Grove Street Families, but begins to come under increasing pressure from Ballas gang members (especially through the crack cocaine spread), hoping to take the area for themselves. This is facilitated by Big Smoke, Ryder and Mark "B-Dup" Wayne, who are secretly affiliated with the Ballas through a drug/crack relationship. Drugs have become a large problem in Ganton, mainly through Smoke and Ryder buying drugs off of Mike Toreno, T-Bone Mendez and Jizzy B. (the Loco Syndicate).
Ganton eventually falls into the hands of the Ballas gang after Carl Johnson is taken to Whetstone by C.R.A.S.H. and Sweet Johnson is arrested and imprisoned during the mission The Green Sabre. The Grove Street Families disband with no leader or OG's, although former gang members continue to wear the green. They more than likely continue to reside in Ganton, although they are not visible on the streets during Carl and Sweet's absence, instead, Ballas will start to form a presence on the streets. The former Grove Street Family gang members, under the influence of Big Smoke, co-operate with the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos.
Carl and Sweet (released via Mike Toreno) later return to Ganton, which is disarray due to the influx of drugs and Ballas. They re-claim Ganton as Grove Street territory during the mission Home Coming (re-establishing the Grove Street Families), and use Ganton as a base for invading other districts (such as Idlewood). Ganton, along with the rest of Los Santos, is later plagued by riots following the acquittal of Frank Tenpenny, although Carl and Sweet manage to 'lock-down' Grove Street, and bring stability to Ganton as a whole. Ganton serves as the place of death for Tenpenny, who crashes a firetruck over a bridge and into Grove Street.

Column: Opt out key to Sentinel bill
Greetings from the Capitol.Things are warming up heading into the fourth week of the 88th legislative session.Last week was very busy in the Education Committee with the Sentinel bill being debated. This is a bill that would allow local school boards the option of using one of their staff as an armed "sentinel" for the students against possible violent attacks. This person would be trained through the local sheriff's office. There was passionate debate on both sides, and after two days the bill passed narrowly out of committee on a 8-7 vote. I voted for this bill because some school districts in our state do not have the ability to have a peace officer and may be a long way from help should a tragedy occur. Other school districts who do not want to participate in this program don't have to.The Health and Human Services Committee had a midwife bill come before it this week. This bill would have allowed midwives to be trained in our state who are not required to have any post high school education or other medical training. We already allow nurses to do home deliveries in South Dakota. These nurses are RNs and work under the Board of Nursing. This bill was killed in the committee. On the House floor, the Tourism Tax was changed from a temporary tax to permanent. I am never for raising taxes, but in this case, 76 percent of the tax is paid by out-of-state visitors who are using our facilities. I voted for this bill because of the significant out-of-state contribution. It is estimated that this bill would save each South Dakota family over 800 dollars each year.I am introducing a bill that would allow retired doctors and dentists to volunteer their services to charity without risk of malpractice. At this time a carpenter or plumber can volunteer to help the needy, but unless a physician carries malpractice insurance into his retirement, he cannot practice medicine without the threat of a malpractice suit. This bill would allow people to sign a waiver that says they won't sue and the doctor or dentist can then volunteer to treat them. This bill has strong support from both the Senate and House.Thank you again for allowing me to represent you in Pierre. If you wish to contact me my E mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like the look and feel of these gloves, but they began to break down rather quickly. I will say that even though they became a bit tattered, they never died. I still use them because I like the padding and the cut. I just wish they were a bit more well put together. Big hands, XXL is cool. The wrist is not very elastic, so you have to make like a crab to squeeze your "pinchers" in. Grab a pair of these on sale and take them to pound-town (I just hope it's not a block away).
Light. Breathable. Somewhat Durable.

I've used these gloves for about 2 years now and are still in decent shape. The only part that has not lasted was the grip of the palm. Other then that, I'm glad I got these light and breathable gloves.
Great feel, unsure about durability
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These gloves feel really nice out on the road. I have no complaints there. My issue is that some of the stitching started to become undone after a month or so of owning the gloves. Not quite the typical castelli quality--given how much they cost I feel they could be better.
Smaller this year?
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This was my favorite glove last season and I ordered the same size again this year. I could barely get the glove on and it was painful trying to get it down the lower hand to the wrist. It took me about 5 minutes of working it back and forth and barely squeezed on. Not sure what they did, but I'll have to switch to something else, not recommended for anyone with a larger wrist or hand.

Very light, questionable durability
Fully vented top side keeps hands very cool.
No velcro strap makes it easy to get on/off and comfortable. Pull tab between middle and ring finger helps get it off, but don't pull it off too hard - pull tab seems to be coming unstitched after a while. Wristband is coming unstitched in 1 place too.
Tried using for mountain biking...no good because of all of the gel pads. Stick to the roads.

30-day warranty...wonder why?
