"The day you start to practice, your true progress will begin."—Swami Kripalu
An Autumn Moment of Quiet
The Connection Between Yoga and Ayurveda
Yoga and Ayurveda are two "sister" practices that originated in India thousands of years ago. Now, a lot of us are familiar with yoga, and have experienced firsthand—through postures, breathwork, and self-inquiry—its profound benefits. Yet many of us are not as familiar with Ayurveda. We might have heard about it in conjunction with yoga, but are not quite sure how, exactly. In her R&R retreat workshop Yoga and Ayurveda, Senior Kripalu Yoga teacher Jurian Hughes points out that yoga means union in Sanskrit, and a definition of Ayurveda is the wisdom of life. Explored together, these complementary practices can offer us transformative tools that foster greater health and vitality. And as Jurian also explains, integrating Ayurvedic principles into your yoga practice can create a deeper, richer experience on the mat that you can take with you off the mat as well.
"Ayurveda isn't a one-size-fits-all philosophy," Jurian says. "We're constantly in flux throughout the day: our energy level and our mood, for example, are different first thing in the morning than they are at noon." Ayurveda, then, is a personalized, intuitive health philosophy. According to Ayurvedic principles, each of us has a unique constitution governed by our physical and emotional makeup, as well as our lifestyle—the foods we eat, what time we go to sleep. These constitutions are called doshas, and they are linked to the elements. The doshas are vata (air and ether), pitta (fire and water), and kapha (earth and water).
Digestive Health and Spirituality
What You Believe and How You Digest May Go Hand in Hand
In this excerpt from their book, The Inside Tract: Your Good Gut Guide to Great Digestive Health, Kripalu Nutritionist Kathie Madonna Swift, MS, RD, LDN, and coauthor Gerard E. Mullin share insights on how cultivating a spiritual practice can help you reduce stress, recover from illness, and lead a life of wellness.
Many studies have demonstrated a connection between spirituality and lower rates of stress and even depression. Maintaining a spiritual practice can help people cope better with stressful situations, thus reducing their anxiety levels and lessening the impact of chronic stress. Numerous researchers have documented a link between spirituality and depression: Spiritually healthy practices like finding meaning and purpose in life, having an intrinsic value system, and belonging to a supportive community with shared values may reduce depressive symptoms. Since stress and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression have such a profound impact on gut health, it stands to reason that engaging in a spiritual practice could have a positive impact on stress-related digestive disorders, too.
Harvard cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson was one of the first to study the relationship between spirituality and health. He revolutionized the field by showing that meditating in a trancelike state reduces stress and improves health while simultaneously raising consciousness and spiritual awareness. Though his finding is still considered groundbreaking by many in the West, ancient cultures have integrated spirituality into healing for millennia. Shamanic priests were regarded as "healers" long before the development of pharmaceuticals, and meditation and prayer have been at the very center of healing practices since the dawn of time.
Can You Create the Life of Your Dreams?
"Can you create the life of your dreams?" asks Susan B. Lord, MD, in her R&R retreat lecture Mindful Living. More often than not, however, creating such a life can be challenging. As Susan points out, our culture can be quite isolating, demanding, and overstimulating. We live in a society that promotes linear thinking; meanwhile, our intuition, what Susan refers to as "the gut brain," tends to be set aside. Because of this emphasis on a linear, head-centered existence, many of us are divorced from our bodies, and thus removed from the intuitive wisdom that resides within. We neglect our bodies—and our intrinsic physical needs—by sitting, often slumped, in front of a computer for eight (or more) hours a day; by not drinking enough water; or by over- or undereating. Because of this, Susan notes, many of us deny what we truly need through temporary measures, such as seeking out comfort foods or other unhealthy distractions, whenever we feel stressed, agitated, or lonely.
By cultivating a sense of mindfulness in our actions and experiences, however, we can create more space in our lives and encourage our intuition to flourish.
One of the keys to tapping into our intuition and creating a more mindful life is to step back and dis-identify from your stressors. You can do this, Susan says, simply by observing your stressors without judgment whenever they arise, and perhaps writing them down. For example, are you so harried that you often skip breakfast and end up feeling cranky and depleted before you even get to the office? By noticing this habit, you could make a plan to set aside time each morning to nourish yourself with a healthful breakfast before jumping into the day's demands. "Pay attention to your body and give it what it needs in the moment," Susan says. When you listen to what your body is telling you, you bring more awareness into your life.
40 Years of Kripalu Yoga in the West: Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training
In this monthly series running through 2012, community members recall milestone moments to commemorate and reflect on Kripalu Yoga.
In 1972, a small residential yoga retreat called Kripalu Center was founded in Sumneytown, Pennsylvania, by Amrit Desai and several of his students from the Philadelphia area. Desai had emigrated to the United States from India, where he was a close disciple of the yoga master Swami Kripalu. Over the next 40 years, Desai's students integrated Swami Kripalu's core teachings with psychology, science, and Western approaches to healing and self-development, creating groundbreaking programs and approaches to well-being. Today, Kripalu's curriculum, professional training, and yoga research continue to be informed by the lineage of Kripalu Yoga. To commemorate the 40-year milestone, we asked several teachers and community members to reflect on what Kripalu Yoga means to them.
As a Kripalu Yoga teacher trainer, there is nothing quite so moving to me as getting to witness yoga-teachers-to-be at the end of their training practicing meditation in motion. At the end of an intensive, life-changing month, I get to witness a room full of souls allowing their sacred yoga prayers to unfold. Each one unique, each one a beautiful gift. In these moments, I have to pinch myself and say, "Really? I get to do this?"
—Jurian Hughes, Kripalu School of Yoga teacher trainer
A Map of the World
Chris McCann, guest blogger
The Wheel
Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winter's best of all;
And after that there s nothing good
Because the spring-time has not come –
Nor know that what disturbs our blood
Is but its longing for the tomb.
This poem by William Butler Yeats has haunted me since I first read it at 15 years old. I moved around a lot as a kid—Boston, New Hampshire, Georgia, New Jersey—and always felt most at home when I was in one place thinking about another. These eight lines by Yeats knocked me over, and made me wonder whether my desire for wandering was simply a self-deluding race toward the grave.
It's Harvest Season
It's an exciting season for foodies: Fresh local produce is at its peak! We know that gathering produce at the farmer's market connects us to the earth and to our community, but is there a nutritional advantage to eating locally grown food as well? Harvard's Center for Health and the Global Environment (HCHGE) reviewed the literature and came to similar conclusions. Those adept at using their senses to guide their health choices already know the answer—just notice the colors and aromas of produce from your garden compared to the supermarket.
To maximize the nutrient density (a measure of food quality that compares foods by nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants per calorie) of your produce, consider the farm-to-table path it takes. Generally, the longer and more complex this path is, the less nutrient-dense the food on your plate. According to HCHGE, the nutritional quality of produce depends on the variety chosen, growing methods, ripeness when picked, post-harvest handling, storage, extent and type of processing, and distance transported.
Be in a Moment of Quiet
"The best way to remove a fault is to practice its opposite virtue. Practicing virtue decreases mental restlessness and increases happiness. Eradicate your bad character traits by strengthening good character traits." —Swami Kripalu

Related quotes
"This year is kind of an aberration. It probably would be good for very specific investors with specific environmental screens in mind. But only a small portion of the portfolio."
"One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore."
"In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history."
"If May was a temporary aberration, the big bubble of incentives may be over before they start. They may only last a month or two. If sales are really slowing down, consumers are going to see a lot more incentives in the coming months."
"He's a proud guy, and he wanted to show that last season was an aberration. So he got a personal trainer and got himself into shape this winter. He's determined to show he can still be a top pitcher in the game."

2009 Subaru Legacy Owner Reviews

- Quality & Durability
Handling, Safety, Reliability, Exclusivity, Fun to Drive -- Check
I am very satisfied with our Legacy 3.0R Limited. When I first test-drove it, I could not believe how well it handled. I have a good reference for this having owned front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive vehicles, as well as having experience on autocross, go-kart, and road course tracks. The boxer engine's low center of gravity and Bilstein sport suspension equate to negligible body roll and the limited slip rear differential does wonders to eliminate understeer as you apply the throttle coming out of the apex. As a family vehicle, safety was a strong consideration. With the entire Subaru line-up being named as a top safety pick from the IIHS and the Legacy having achieved this for several straight years, I was comfortable that we would be driving a safe car. We've only had our Legacy for 12k miles but it has been reliable so far. I believe Subaru claims that 95% of their cars bought in the last 10 years are still on the road today. Knock on wood. The most popular Legacy sedans have 4-cylinder engines and for some reason, there are very few 3.0R's on the road. I have only seen one on the road in the past year in 20k miles of congested suburban driving. This is a very exclusive car so you won't see yourself coming and going. Finally, the aforementioned handling, coupled with a very nice interior, very smooth and great-sounding engine, and the driver-selectable engine settings make this car very fun and rewarding to drive. At the time of purchase we considered the Mazda6 and was aware of the newly redesigned 2010 Legacy but we made our choice and are happy Subaru owners.

Luv my Subaru!!!~~~
I've never owned a Subaru before and just got a really good lease. (I put about 500. down for 2 years and pay about 270. a month) The silver exterior design is smooth and elegant. It has the best tire rims I've seen in my life and a sun roof; which makes it extra fun on those warm evening drives. The interior is also good looking. It features sports car design seats and a kick ass sound system! The features of a Subaru are really EndLess, compared to any other nissan or accord type of vehicle (which I've also owned). Although I hardly see other Legacy's on the road (yet) I love driving it and being the unique one on the road- I've had it for a few months now and I havent found anything that I dont like about it- :-)

ISSUE: Is Davidson's purchase of the new part exempt from the sales tax under G.L. c. 64H, § 6(s)?
DISCUSSION: Under G.L. c. 64H, § 6(s), sales of machinery and replacement parts are exempt from sales tax if the machinery is used directly and exclusively in an industrial plant in the actual manufacture, conversion or processing of tangible personal property to be sold.
Any part of a machine which helps it to perform its intended function or which is necessary to control, regulate or operate it receives the same tax treatment as the machine itself. Here, the new part helps the widget maker to perform its intended function by increasing its manufacturing capacity. Since the widget maker is exempt from sales tax under G.L. c. 64H, § 6(s), the part if also exempt. The part need not have been purchased with the machine to qualify for the exemption.
DIRECTIVE: Davidson's purchase of the new part is exempt from the sales tax as machinery used directly and exclusively in the manufacture, conversion or processing of tangible personal property to be sold.
REFERENCE: G.L. c. 64H, § 6(s).

So there has been a lot of talk on campus about parking issues and how there isn't adequate parking for commuters. As being a commuter myself, I agree. We get the option to park on the outskirts of campus, if you will and it is our only option until 3 p.m.
The parking fee is not an issue, $118.80 is a decent price compared to other SUNY school parking fees AND freshmen are allowed to have cars. This fee goes toward the officer's salary so it's not like it is a useless and overpriced fee.
The real issue here is space and where the spaces are located. Yes, faculty should have designated parking spaces and lots specifically for them. However, as far as students, I feel as though all lots should be fair game: commuter and resident. We are all paying the same price for the parking fee so we should all get a fair chance at parking spaces and shouldn't be penalized for parking in a resident lot. Most of the students who do live on campus don't use their cars on a daily basis anyway; they just sit there taking up space. Yes, some students do use their cars daily but others don't and in most parking lots, a lot of spaces are still open and are open the whole year and commuters still get punished for parking there, with a $20 ticket.
One way to help alleviate this problem would be allowing only sophomore, juniors and seniors the option to have cars on campus. That way it opens up some of the resident lots and that open space could be used for commuter students.
This is my first year as a commuter but I know that the winter is going to be a long walk from the commuter lot to classes. We are on lake Ontario so it's obvious that there are going to be strong winds and a lot of lake effect snow.
Okay, just kidding the snow doesn't get this bad. But we do get a lot.
There just has to be some solution to this issue or parking. It's not fair to exclude commuters just because they don't live on campus.

A New Day in the Old Town
It's so hard to believe that we're nearly halfway through the semester already. Tomorrow, well technically today, I suppose, I have to take my English 304 midterm, and I am very nervous about that, because I remain pretty confident that I am going to get a pretty terrible grade on it. I am just not used to this kid of English course. Ever since middle school, English classes did not involve actual assessments but instead portfolios which consisted of written work throughout the year, and now, I have to take an actual written assessment in the traditional sense, and I have a multitude of different terms that I need to know the meaning of as well as a multitude of different names that I need to associate with literary periods, and I am really stressing out.
Basically, this semester has really been pretty on and off for me; it's been pretty bittersweet, in other words. A lot of goodness has come out of this semester, a great deal that is much different than my situation last year. For example, I have an awesome roommate who I am so happy I asked to room with last year; there have been absolutely no issues whatsoever thus far, and I don't foresee any taking place. There's a great deal of respect between us, and I definitely think that that is the main reason why this is really working out for us. So, anyway, I am really happy with my living situation, which is currently Waterbury, and apart from the ear-piercing fire alarm, I love everything about it.
Other than that, though, like I said, I'm kind of struggling to sync myself with this English class, and additionally, I am taking Biology, and I am having a really tough time with that as well. I got my first test back last week, and I remember leaving the class in which I had taken the test, thinking that I had managed to pull of a solid C grade, but no, I didn't have any such luck. I failed it miserably. I was really upset the day that I found out, but not that I'm the type to blame other people for my mishaps, but in this case, I really do think it's partly my professor that is at fault for this grade, because she flies through the slides, and when a student will ask for the slide to be brought back up, because he or she didn't have enough time to get everything down, she will say, "All of this is in the book," so what I'm wondering is why I'm wasting time coming to class then if all of my learning is to be done from the book.
I learn by taking notes in class, letting that sink in and then going over my notes and deciding on what I understand and what I don't, and what I am not quite absorbing, I resort to the book for, and I am having trouble doing that now, because I'm not learning anything in class. She did say the other day in class that all of the notes are on Angel, so I might just have to go there to read up on the notes, because this really is pretty ridiculous if I may say so myself. I cannot allow myself to fail this class; I really want to put all of my general education courses behind me so that I can get into my major. I honestly do not understand general education requirements. I've never in my lifetime going to use anything that I am learning in Biology, for example.
Anyway, I went home this past weekend, and that was really nice. I love this weather; and I love this time of year and everything that it involves. I love the Autumn air, leaves, apple cider and Halloween, of course. The only thing that I don't like about is that almost all of the things that I love about Autumn, with the obvious exception of Halloween, are indicators that winter is coming, and I hate winter. I can't stand snow, and I can't stand the cold, and yes, I chose to Oswego, but don't ask me why. Everyone always asks me that when I declare my detestation of the winter time, "Why are you going to Oswego then?" Well, I suppose that's about everything that I wanted to cover this time around. Hopefully, I will be writing a bit more often, but there is just always something occupying my time, and it's usually not something I'm having too much fun doing. I hope to write again soon, though!
The wonderful things that happen in Paris, pictures included!
So I am offically finished my first week of university in Paris. I will have to say it is better than I expected, and sitting in a class for three hours is proving to be easier than I originally thought it would be!
The most difficult class I am taking, Scolarisation des eleves non-francophone, is an undergraduate/graduate class. Lucky me! It was very interesting, and my education classes I have already taken in the States made it easier. During class our professor asked the class what the definition of multiculturalism was, and after taking an education class that focused on multiculturalism, I immediately raised my hand. I said that it was a mix of many cultures and my teacher responded by saying, "that is so anglophone of you, where are you from?" I said New York State and she said, "Yes that is why you think that." I was so confused as she asked another student to answer the question. Apparently different cultures have different definitions for words. In Europe, all the cultures are essentially divided by the borders of their countries, so in Europe the definition of Multiculturalism is juxtaposing cultures or cultures side-by-side. Since the United States is many cultures mixed together, it is obvious we would believe multiculturalism is various cultures in an given area. I knew I was in France, but I never thought I would hear someone tell me, "ohh that was so anglophone of you!"
The rest of my classes went well, although due to a minor conflict in classes, I switched from my grammer class to an Interculturality class. I think that comparing French and American cultures will be more interesting than grammer anyway, so it all worked out fine.
Friday I had no classes, but it ended up being one of my busiest days of this week! I have to go to the Office of Immigrations and have a medical appointment to get my Carte de Sejour that allows me to reenter France if I travel. So I am hoping to start travelling very soon. I know that I am going to spend Christmas in Germany with my "brother" Johannes. Johannes was an exchange student who lived with me and my family while I was in high school. I am very lucky to be able to spend Christmas with people I know while I am living in Europe. I hope to visit some other friends I have in Europe as well, but we will see what time allows. Speaking of travelling, I booked a spot to go to Mont-Saint-Michel at the end of this month with my exchange program. I had said before I even left to come to France that if I went anywhere while I was studying abroad it would be to Mont-Saint-Michel, so I am very very excited.
On Friday night I went out to dinner at a resturant near Boulevard Saint Germain. I went with two of my French friends and it was a lot of fun. We had some champagne, wine and we ate lots of French food! For our appetizer we had a french dish that was an egg in a cream mushroom sauce. It was very good. For dinner I ate Boeuf Bourguignon, it is beef in a sauce with potatos and carrots. I forgot the name of the dish my friends had but I tried it then they proceefed to tell me that I actually ate the bone marrow from a beef bone. It was surprisingly good, but it was hardest to get over the fact that I had eaten bone marrow, I had assumed that the center of the bone had been stuffed with something, not that we were actually eating the marrow of the bone. Oh well, cultural difference and I tried something new! And of course for dessert we had creme brulee.
Saturday I went to La Fete des Vendanges.
It is the festival of grape harvesting, and there were lots of wine stands to buy local wine. I saw a parade in the middle of Montmartre and it was a lot of fun. In addition to a wide variety of wines, many of the regions of France had stands with their local cuisines and wines. It was once again a festival celebrating the culture of France. I have never seen a country so proud of their culture and heritage and I really enjoy all of the events that happen every weekend. I have been here for a little over a month and there has already been 3 separate festivals and events celebrating culture!
People in Montmartre at the Festival!
Later Saturday, I went to the Seine (The big river that runs through the center of Paris) to celebrate one of my friends birthday. We sat on the edge of the river, drinking wine and eating lots of Prince cookies and bread with cheese. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching all of the tour boats going by with their bright lights that shine on the shore. It was so relaxing and peaceful!
Oh and this is and advertisement in the Metro for Orange Internet and I think it is hilarious so I am posting it!
(There is Internet…… and Internet, I love Mr. Potato Head!)
Paris has been so fun this week, if I stay this busy Iwill be it will be January before I know it. I don't know how time can seem so fast or slow! But am enjoying my time here while it lasts! Hope you enjoyed my post this week! ENJOY!!!!!
Toute a l'heure!
Owen does the Oswego Indie Series
The music scene is quiet around these parts. Unless you travel to Buffalo or Rochester, chances are you probably won't find much live music. Thankfully, ARTSwego and WNYO college radio are teaming up to bring "The Indie Series" to Oswego State campus.
This month, the campus gets to indulge in the acoustic folk sounds of Owen. Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Owen is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Mike Kinsella. Mike is a well-known name in the Chicago indie scene, to say the least. Owen manages to take the unpolished and raw acoustic style of an old-school Bright Eyes while utilizing the sweet sincerity of other stringed instruments like violin and even cello. Mike plays virtually every instrument on all nine of his EP's and albums.
Owens lyrics are pretty down to Earth. He sings about things going on in his everyday life, sort of like an angelic, teen Bob Dylan with girl problems (and a lot more fluid melody). It doesn't leave much to the imagination, but it's calming and soothing. Owen is more of a band to sleep and reflect to than to get amped.
No matter what you choose to do with your Friday night on October 16th, just remember for $5, you can catch a decent show with a bunch of people looking for the same thing; some good music to listen to.
Admissions open house on monda…

Grad school, its like apple picking
I am looking at grad schools and it was just like this weekend when I went apple picking…some disappointing, some fabulous but so far out of reach.
I am a business student, which means I take the GMATS to get into graduate school. However I will be searching the world over to find just the right fit.
The great thing about apple picking is that just about every apple can be made into a turnover. It is different with grad schools
I am loaded with work though, and on the search for another internship for the spring! Everyone should know that the Alumni Symposium is this Monday and Tuesday. The Media Summit is Wednesday and my marketing projects are all due that Friday. So remember to attend them all!
I have so many events to attend next week, I am sure my closet will be destroyed, mad cool times at oz!

3 hurt as firecrackers trigger 10-hour fire in Divisoria
MANILA, Philippines — A stretch of street near New Divisoria Mall in Manila turned into a sea of apples and oranges as a 10-hour fire hit three commercial buildings a day before Christmas.
Boxes of fruits on M. de Santos Street tumbled as people scrambled when firecrackers set on fire the 801 Building at the corner of Tabora Street at 12:33 a.m., police who secured the scene said.
Initial reports showed that a faulty wire or a cigarette butt might have set off the boxes of firecrackers piled at the side of the building, said Chief Insprctor Romeo Odrada, deputy chief of Binondo police station.
The fire that reached the fifth alarm at 12:56 a.m. and Task Force Charlie alarm by 5:45 a.m. spread to Ongsiako and Sun Master commercial buildings along Tabora and was declared under control at 10:09 a.m.
The buildings, which housed Asia United Bank and PSBank, also served as stockrooms and stores for toys, school supplies and party needs.
The fire also damaged the signage of Philtrust Bank across Tabora Street but it was quickly put out.
The estimated cost of damage was not available as of press time but police said the fruits alone would cost millions of pesos.
Radio reports said at least three people were injured.
"Masaklap nga ang nangyari eh. Paskong-pasko imbes na magsaya eh malungkot (It was terrible. It's Christmas but instead of happiness, we have sadness)," Magdalena Sigayo, a sidewalk vendor who lost P300,000 worth of native decorative products, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

LatinoTalk Texas 2014, 0014 Growing threat from Russia & China
in Politics
On today's show I discuss the continuing nature of the struggle between the world's global powers, America, Russia and China. I've been discussing these facts for weeks now and that my analyses have been echoed by major news outlets and political leaders. The hallmark but not the only criteria of a global power is their ability to have a manned space program. America, although not presently and not for some years now, Russia and China are all; therefore "Global Powers" and that along with other conditions you will not hear about in other outlets are the reasons and the direction behind the recent aggressiveness of Russian and China. Then, on the show I read an insightful article from the Manhattan Declaration discussing the nature of the discourse regarding homosexual "marriage" and the fact that Christianity's opposition to it is not based in bigotry but in the desire to adhere to God's plan for life and is not likely to change. Lastly, there are two articles regarding Mexico that I shared. One deals with the sad conditions but remarkable performance on intelligence exams of a poor girl in Matamoros. And Mattel tries again with a Barbie doll that represent Mexican culture with a Barbie in mariachi attire and I like it.

Welcome to the ugly mug ball!
Last updated at 16:50, Thursday, 24 September 2009
WHITEHAVEN'S Gordon Blacklock has finally regained the world gurning title after 13 years of disappointment.
A 500-strong crowd at Egremont Crab Fair went wild when Gordon defeated 24 other contenders with his show-stealing expressions at the World Gurning Championships.
The 62-year-old sealed victory on Saturday night with eye-watering gurns performed to Tina Turner's Simply the Best in the town's Market Hall.
And his secret to pulling the 'ugliest' face in the world – to take his top dentures out and turn his bottom row upside down.
Gordon, of Standings Rise, has consistently missed out narrowly on the top spot since he last won the championships in 1995.
He said: "It is fantastic that I've won. I am always in the top three, so it is great.
"It is a pity though that Tommy Mattinson is not here."
But although Aspatria gurning legend Tommy – whose 11 wins have put him in the Guinness Book of World Records – was unable to defend his title because it was his mum's funeral that day, he did send a letter to the crowds.
He said he was sad he could not be at the globally-renowned event, but wished the winner all the best.
There were entrants in the gurning championships from as far as Australia.
Despite the wide competition, however, it was three West Cumbrians who clinched the top three places.
Alan 'Happy' Hornell, of Egremont, finished second while Cleator's Ged Eccles was third.
The ladies' championships was won by popular Egremont gurner Anne Woods, while Dominic McDowell was crowned the junior champion.The three champions were then appearing on ITV's This Morning to judge the programme's own gurning contest on Monday.Callum Scott, one of the Crab Fair organisers, said: "It has been a fantastic weekend – everything went to plan. The live music on the street on Friday night was brilliant."We send Tommy Mattinson our condolences and look forward to seeing him next year. "I am very pleased that Gordon won, because it has been a long time since he won it. It is nice to see people taking part from as far away as Australia."
And the whole weekend has been praised by organisers – who say it was the best attended yet.
The apple cart parade was watched by hundreds as Crab Fair Queen Jodie Fox threw apples into the crowd.
Events then took place on the field, including hound and owl shows and wrestling.

WWE was reportedly debating internally on bringing back the Money in the Bank ladder match back to WrestleMania for WrestleMania 29. However, WWE has now come to the conclusion that MITB will stay its own PPV and the match will not be featured at WrestleMania.
The feeling is that reportedly WrestleMania doesn't need the match on the card and the pay-per-view in July does well being centered around the match. Ryback was being tossed around as the name to go over in the match if it was held at WrestleMania this year.

10-minute treat
Town crier
Posted by puffin
Walk up to the Cross in the centre of Chester at noon and you'll see a jolly bloke wearing old-fashioned clothes and ringing a bell. He's the town crier; Chester's the only place in the UK to have had a continuous tradition of town crying, and he and his wife share the job. He'll give all the latest news on Black Death, local hangings and news of the Boston Tea Party that's filtering from across the pond - and on occasion he'll even read out council notices. Great interaction with the crowd and super for kids.

The 50s American Diner
Posted by jewelleryrox
I happened upon a place called The 50s American Diner which is an amazing, original 1951 stainless steel American diner from Massachusetts in the National Forest, Derbyshire. The portions are huge, and the decor is perfect with chrome bar stools and four-seater booths, a jukebox and waitresses in period outfits. There's a friendly atmosphere and great music. My children loved it.

Smith's Ideal Fisheries
Posted by David Green
Where does the chant "sing when we're fishing" originate? Grimsby! Fish is synonymous with the town, and with that goes fish and chip shops. One of the best is Smith's Ideal Fisheries, known to all as "Smithies". Takeaway only, the shop is clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and efficient, and perhaps more importantly, the fish and chips are second to none. As is normal in these parts, filleted haddock is the favourite, a good sized portion deep-fried in crispy batter. Add mushy peas - heaven!

Trelissick Gardens
Posted by KLUTZ
A few miles south of Truro, hidden in trees above the creeks, is Trelissick. It has beautiful gardens with a nice tea shop and is an escape from the crowds on a weekday. Afterwards, if you walk down towards the ferry via the road, you can take the footpath north or south along the wooded edge of the river to find tranquil creeks. This is a side of Cornwall that many people don't see.

Chelsea Physic Garden
Posted by kaird
Right in the middle of Chelsea is a wonderful secret garden. Founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, it continues to research the properties, origins and conservation of more than 5,000 plant species. But the nicest thing is just to sit there on a sunny day. The cafe sells gorgeous food, especially salads and the cakes. It isn't open every day, and it costs to get in.
Salt's Mill
Posted by babyzoomer
This former model village built by Sir Titus Salt in the 1800s to house his workers has fantastic architecture. The Mill itself is a fantastic place - now housing art/book shops, designer homeware store, outdoor clothing store, designer jewellery and David Hockney art gallery, among other things. And then there is the fantastic Salt's diner.

The Train to Ribblehead
Posted by bladeaway
The best scheduled scenic train journey in Yorkshire, and probably England, is the Settle-Carlisle route over the massive but elegant Ribble Viaduct. Setting off from Leeds, the gritty mill towns unfold as the hills rise up, a prelude to the drama of Yorkshires Three Peaks and the panoramic views that motorists, and even walkers, never get. Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and finally the very flanks of Great Whernside fill the windows, making an assault on one of them almost irresistible - followed by a pint.

Ghost Walks of Spice Island

I took some friends on a ghost walk in Old Portsmouth. It was a fantastic mix of history (and there is loads in Portsmouth) and some scary, gruesome stories. Actors were on hand to keep us on edge. The highlight was going into the Round Tower (not usually open to the public).

The John Wall craze has become, well, insane. Distorted too.
At Vanderbilt last week, John Calipari's team had nine assists, one by his point guard in 38 minutes. Patrick Patterson? 12 attempts. A dozen shots from the team's All-American is courting disaster.
At game's end, Wall's lone spectacular play was enough to overshadow a mediocre, even selfish performance, and drive some media back to John Wall Ga-Ga Land.
Lt. Governor Dan Mongiardo stopped in Taylorsville last week and presented his message for making Kentucky a leader in curing America's broken health care system.
Mongiardo, who was speaking at the Chamber of Commerce Friday night as part of February's American Heart Month, said the first step in fixing the national health care issue is to encourage every Kentuckian to make choices that are heart healthy.
With the 30th District Tournament beginning tonight in Shelby County, the Spencer County Bears needed a good outing to take away the bitterness of the last few weeks. They got just that Saturday night when they traveled to Louisville and put together a 77-60 win over Holy Cross. Not only was it a needed win, but it was best game the Bears had played in nearly a month and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Judge Executive David Jenkins may have been joking when he suggested the fire protection district contribute to the cost of hiring 911 dispatchers, but it was City Commissioner Kathy Spears who took the issue very seriously.
At a meeting Thursday afternoon, Spears wanted to know why the Spencer County-Taylorsville Fire Department was not contributing to the cost of dispatch services. Firefighters are, after all, benefiting from 911 just like city police, EMS and the Sheriff's office. "Why does the fire department pay nothing," Spears said.
Melissa Davis still can not believe she was chosen.
The 35-year-old divorced mom of four said she had to call Habitat Family Selection Chair Becky Culver recently to ask, "Did I dream the whole thing?"
Culver assured her that it was a reality. Davis and her children would be the next family to partner with Spencer County Habitat for Humanity.
"I'm so excited that I'm beyond words," said Davis. "I'm still in shock."
Have you seen the new TV show "Undercover Boss?" It's pretty simple; the CEO of a big company goes "undercover" in his company to see what is really happening. It is really a great illustration of a very Biblical principle.

BA splits with SalemPublished 2:05pm Wednesday, December 4, 2013
Click here to subscribe and skip the survey.
SALEM – The BA Lady Cougars traveled down Highway 27 and prepared for a catfight with the Salem Lady Wildcats, and that is what they got.
It took an overtime frame, but the Lady Cougars escaped with a 50-48 hard-fought win. Mary Claire White's fall-away jumper off the glass with less than :15 seconds to play gave the Lady Cougars the lead and a solid defensive stand on the other end sealed the victory.
In boys' action, the Wildcats handed the Cougars their second loss of the season with a 59-50 win Tuesday night.
Brookhaven Academy resumes action Thursday as they welcome Bowling Green to John R. Gray Gymnasium for four games. Tip-off starts with junior varsity action at 4 p.m., followed by varsity action.
Salem will also be in action Thursday as they travel to battle Bogue Chitto. The junior varsity girls will start the show at 5 p.m., followed by the varsity games.
BA 50, Salem 48
Hillary Wilson led BA with 19 points and grabbed five rebounds. Madison Warren added 18 points, pulled down five rebounds and dished out seven assists on the night. Lindsey Winborne chipped in 11 points to add to the Lady Cougars' total.
Markeria Butler led Salem with 24 points and Ariel Fortenberry tossed in 17 points for the Lady Cats.
BA Coach Mack Gardner commented about the victory after the game, "We were lucky to get the win. Salem is a good ball club, and you can't make mistakes ad expect to win. The margin for error, especially this early in the season, is so small. I am proud of the girls though, they found a way to pull it out at the end."
Salem 59, BA 50
Donovan Harness was the offensive leader for the Wildcats with a team-high 14 points. Julius Faulk chipped in with 10 points. Austin Fazande and Donovan Peters directed Salem on the boards with six rebounds apiece.
Peyton Hood scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead the Cougars. Ethan Harris provided 17 points.

I have great ideas of making some fics, Non-Pokemon and Pokemon alike.
My first idea is of making a fanfic of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, In which side stories not in 'Main Journals' would be told. I know, this idea couldn't work out well without the comics but have to give it a shot.
Second, A Fanfic based on Percy Jackson movies, between Lightning Thief (2010) and Sea of Monsters (2013). This one i would want to keep a bit secret, but for non-readers/watchers of Percy Jackson, He is the demigod son of Poseidon. Yeah, Greek Mythology. I wish to have some of the contents from Clash of the titans (2010) and Wrath of the titans (2012).
And, I have to say, @LightningTopaz asked first in this section of the forums, "How to turn the TCG into an fic?" I posted an answer/suggestion there, And it seemed good to me so i want to make it into my own fic, With permission by LightningTopaz. My idea was for a Bakugan style TCG in a form of a fic. Sounds dumb but yeah.
And my main question is, Are there any people on the forums, who are fans of these franchises, and even into reading?

Scaffolding: A Promising Approach to Fostering Critical Thinking
Browne, Laurie, Hough, Melissa, Schwab, Keri, Schole: A Journal of Leisure Studies and Recreation Education
Teaching students how to think rather than what to think is a primary goal of higher education (Daly, 2001; Kronholm, 1996; Myllykangas & Foose, 2007), yet many of our undergraduate students struggle when asked to engage in critical thinking. Thinking critically means learners are engaged in "reflective and reasonable thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do" (Ennis, 1985 p. 44), and many college instructors already employ various strategies to engage in this process (e.g. service learning activities, case studies, and journaling). However, the extent to which critical thinking occurs in the college classroom depends largely on students' ability to challenge assumptions, deconstruct information, and reflect on personal beliefs (Brookfield, 1987). In our experiences teaching in higher education, many undergraduate students lack these skills, which may be problematic as they begin to engage in real world contexts. To better prepare our students to be effective leaders in the field, today's learners must be taught how to think critically.
One approach we have found useful in fostering critical thinking is scaffolding, which, as both a pedagogical technique and a process, provides a structure for critical thinking. The process of scaffolding involves both the construction and systematic deconstruction of a cognitive support structure that accommodates a student's individual needs (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976). Additionally, the scaffolding technique serves as a tool that assists learners in completing complex tasks that otherwise would be beyond their capabilities (Puntambekar & Hubscher, 2005).
Integral to scaffolding is the social interaction between the learner and instructor. Together, they develop a mutual understanding of the activity and its goals, thereby sharing ownership of the process. Through this, the instructor provides support and ongoing diagnosis of the learner's abilities by altering the scaffold to accommodate the learner's needs. Instructional techniques such as expert modeling, student-expert collaboration, and on-going assessment are employed to construct the scaffold. Eventually, the instructor removes the scaffold so the learner takes responsibility for his or her own learning (Wood et al., 1976), which, once completed, leaves the learner more capable than before the use of the scaffold (Lepper, Drake, & O'Donnell-Johnson, 1997).
Application of Scaffolding Techniques
In an effort to teach critical thinking during a semester-long commercial recreation management course, we designed a scaffolded syllabus that incorporated case-based learning activities. Case studies, as a pedagogical tool, are realistic scenarios that require students to interpret evidence, analyze information, and formulate an argument (Klebba & Hamilton, 2007). The ability to demonstrate each of these skills requires students to employ critical thinking. Therefore, we implemented a critical thinking scaffold to guide the design and facilitation of these case study analyses. Following the fundamentals of scaffolding, we integrated these elements into the syllabus: shared understanding of the scaffold, expert modeling, ongoing assessment, and deconstruction of the scaffold.
We established the critical thinking scaffold in the course syllabus by designing case analysis assignments that increased in complexity and value as the semester progressed. The first case analysis consisted of a 5-point in-class discussion structured around concrete questions such as, "Name the primary stakeholders in this organization," "State your recommendation," and "Identify evidence that supports your recommendation." After the activity, students reflected on the processes they used to formulate a recommendation, specifically with regard to the action words "Name," "State," and "Identify." Several students expressed frustration at the constrained nature of this analysis, which in turn generated discussion on the goal of the exercise within the larger scaffold. …
