Omega in Action
Omega in Action highlights inspiring people and organizations making meaningful change. From protecting the environment to empowering women, healing veterans, and serving nonprofits, you'll find fresh perspectives, trending news, and the latest information on noteworthy events here at Omega and around the world.
Omega Participants Take the Experience Home
For more than 20 years, Omega has offered hope and healing to veterans and family members dealing with issues of post-traumatic stress, re-integration into society, and resilience in the face of unique challenges. Recently, Omega held two separate programs aimed at helping veterans heal from the wounds of war during the same autumn week.
The first was a 5-day certification program for yoga teachers, taught by Warriors At Ease cofounder, Robin Carnes, and Exalted Warrior Foundation founder, Annie Okerlin. Seventeen certified yoga teachers gathered at Omega to receive hands-on training based on the acclaimed Warriors At Ease training course. They addressed combat-related issues through yoga, and the art and science of teaching yoga in a military setting.
The second was a woman-only retreat for active duty military and veterans healing from military trauma. It was taught by Warriors At Ease cofounder, Col. (ret.) Pat Lillis, and veterans advocates—Maj. Susan Lynch and Col. Alison Ward. Twenty-two women attended to explore ways to face and release traumatic stress, and increase resilience.
During the course of the week, participants from both programs formed bonds through shared meals and quiet conversations outside the classroom. Program teachers and participants conspired on ways to stay in touch and support each other. The yoga teachers were eager to put into practice the new skills they had acquired, but in need of students to practice teaching with.
The women military and veterans were looking for ways to continue the healing process and take their Omega experience home with them. So they decided to pair up wherever it was geographically possible. Several matches were made, allowing the yoga teachers to offer a few free sessions in exchange for the opportunity to practice teaching—with the possibility of the students electing to hire the teachers long term if desired. In the instances where it was not geographically easy to pair people, the group turned to the Warriors at Ease network of trained teachers for assistance in facilitating matches. It has been a win-win situation.

Omega Hosts #femfuture Retreat
This October, Jamia Wilson, member of Omega's board of directors, and Vanessa Valenti, Omega faculty and cofounder of #femfuture, organized the #femfuture retreat at Omega's Rhinebeck, New York campus. #femfuture is "an experiment in movement-building that develops solutions for sustainability and impact in 21st century feminism." They commonly convene feminist bloggers, online organizers, writers, educators, and activists to collaborate and explore the present reality and future potential of the current feminist movement.
The retreat at Omega was focused on self-care, reflection, and connection for feminist activists. More than 20 women from around the country were selected to attend, encompassing mothers, poets, journalists, and teachers.
In attendance was Catherine Okafor, who has been looking for a way to continue her activism and connect with other feminists after the grassroots organizing she did in college. She wrote about her experience saying, "This was a blessing that fell from the sky as I'm no longer a college student but now a young professional trying to navigate through 'the real world.'"

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Reaches Epidemic Levels Among Veterans
Omega Offers Alternative Treatment Options for Health-Care Professionals
RHINEBECK, NY – According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 20 percent of Iraqi War veterans, and 11 percent of those returning from the war in Afghanistan, suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Mental health issues among service members have reached a crisis level. The Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration have recognized the gravity of this epidemic and are now actively supporting mind-body modalities, from yoga to mindfulness practice, as a complement to traditional drug and talk therapies for veterans.
"The number of veterans suffering from PTSD is alarmingly high, and growing on a daily basis. Suicide, homelessness, drug use, and spousal abuse are just a few of the ways that PTSD affects veterans and their loved ones. For more than 20 years, Omega has provided programs to support the healing of veterans and affected family members," said Carla Goldstein, chief external affairs officer. "Our Veterans, Trauma & Treatment conference helps provide new tools for treatment so more veterans can experience healing."
Veterans, Trauma & Treatment is an unprecedented gathering of experts in resiliency, trauma, and the treatment of trauma for veterans using complementary and alternative medicine. Health-care professionals, psychologists, social workers, caregivers, and counselors working with veterans suffering with PTSD and their families are welcome.
The Veterans, Trauma & Treatment conference begins on Friday, October 18 at 8:00 p.m., with an opening keynote by Tracy Gaudet, director of the Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Transformation, followed by a keynote from Dr. Peter Levine, whose international best seller, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, has been translated into twenty-two languages. Throughout the weekend, conference participants will explore the best ways to use mind-body modalities to treat veterans who suffer with trauma.
In addition to hearing keynote talks from ten expert presenters, participants can choose from a variety of workshops, including mindfulness-based stress reduction, adaptive yoga for traumatically injured service members, the Social Resilience Model for healing communities with trauma, and attachment-based family interventions. Each workshop and keynote presentation has distinct learning objectives for the participants. The conference will end with a keynote address by Col. Richard R. Petri, MD, the chief of Physical Medicine and Integrative Health Services at William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Omega welcomes anyone who seeks professional information on the mind-body modalities that the military is currently exploring. Continuing education credits are available.

President Bill Clinton to Deliver Keynote Address at Omega Conference
Where We Go From Here Conference Will Examine Sustainability as a Question of Values & a Challenge of Systems Design—Now Including Conference Live Stream
RHINEBECK, NY—Nearly a year after Hurricane Sandy demonstrated just how real the threat of climate change is, the Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL) is hosting Where We Go From Here: Opportunities & Solutions for an Interdependent World, a conference that addresses the imperative for examining sustainability issues from a holistic perspective based on the interconnection between human behavior, economic and social systems, and the environment. The conference will be held October 4–6, 2013, and will feature keynote speaker President Bill Clinton, 2005 MacArthur Fellow Majora Carter, environmentalist Paul Hawken, economist Jeremy Rifkin, and other major leaders in sustainability. The conference also will be available free to the public via live stream on Saturday, October 5, and Sunday, October 6.
As the problems of climate change and dwindling resources manifest themselves more clearly and urgently, the conference will assess the shortcomings of current sustainability efforts—and create a road map for going forward that places whole-systems thinking front and center.
"With ever more frequency and intensity, we are seeing the effects of being out of balance with the earth and each other. We cannot solve this problem without considering the whole—understanding the big picture and finding our place within it," said Robert "Skip" Backus, chief executive officer at Omega and the visionary behind the Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL). "We are thrilled that President Clinton will deliver the keynote speech. Omega is proud to initiate the discussion about where we go from here, and to serve as a model for a whole-systems approach to sustainability."
Founded four years ago, the OCSL includes the first green building in America to receive both LEED® Platinum and Living Building Challenge™ certifications, and has evolved into an emerging environmental leader, offering programs that teach the regenerative environmental practices modeled by the building. Omega Institute is integrating similar designs into other facilities on its Rhinebeck, New York campus. A recent addition to the Omega Women's Leadership Center is the first commercial project in the United States to meet Passive House certification standards—the building uses very little energy and the space is designed to reduce heating costs by 75%.
"Recognizing our interdependence—to each other and to the planet—is key to finding solutions to our pressing environmental challenges," said Backus.
Where We Go From Here will include keynote talks, panel discussions, stories from the field, and a tour of the award-winning Omega Center for Sustainable Living.
Leading economists, environmentalists, philanthropists, designers, architects, and activists round out the list of speakers, including:
- President Bill Clinton, Founder of the Clinton Foundation and 42nd President of the United States, was the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, and led the U.S. to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.

While the Academy Slept
In the final round, academy members voting for the documentary winner--unlike in any other category except that of foreign film--are required to have seen all the films nominated, although, unlike the members of the selection committee, they do not have access to videos of the films. This system insures that only a small number participate in the final vote. Before last year's ceremony the distributors of Buena Vista and On the Ropes, another nominee, feared that the voting field could be as low as 200. "If you were an academy member and aggressive about it, you could be sure to get your supporters to watch your film and you could win...by keeping the viewership down," Amir Malin, Buena Vista's distributor, told Variety. Wenders thinks this is what happened with One Day in September. "It opened in the boondocks, in a remote theater. It apparently only sold a handful of tickets in its run of one week, and was restricted to one matinee screening per day. So it complied with the academy regulations of a theatrical run, but at the same time the producers knew that nobody had seen it--neither critics nor academy members--unlike the other four films, which were commercially available on video and in theaters. So the producers of One Day in September completely controlled the voting situation: Only people who came to the private screenings they organized and the limited academy screenings could actually vote. Thus, the overall votes were kept low, and the percentage of votes likely to go to One Day in September were high."
However, says Wenders, One Day in September's producers did nothing dishonest: "They went by the rules. But by knowing the rules and by applying them as much as possible in their favor, they actually created an advantage for themselves. You've got to hand it to them: They were very smart and planned this campaign really well, from the very beginning to its successful end."
Cohn disputes this account, claiming that his film was completed in time for the academy's October submission deadline but not for theatrical distribution (other than its one-week qualification run). There were "countless [academy] screenings in Los Angeles," Cohn says, "as well as in New York, Boston and San Francisco." Members also attended screenings at the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the American Film Institute. "There is not one academy member who wanted to see the film and was upon his request not given the opportunity to do so," he says. (An academy spokesman said there were only two official screenings in LA.)
In any case, further reform could insure that such questions never even arise. Wenders says, "You either have to keep the final vote among the documentary community--but then you base it on a relatively narrow number of academy members--or if you keep it open to the entire academy, you have to furnish tapes to the entire membership, just like in other categories." For his part, Morris suggests that the rule requiring voting members to see all nominated films be scrapped, with voting "thrown open to the whole membership, for the selection process as well."
This year's Best Documentary Feature award will be the second test of the academy's recent reforms. The nominees are a sober yet eclectic bunch, though nothing idiosyncratic or irreverent made it to the final stage. The apparent front-runner, backed by Warner Brothers and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is the moving if formulaic Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport, about young Jewish children from Central and Eastern Europe who were admitted to Britain as refugees before World War II; also popular is Legacy, a stark vérité portrait of a black south Chicago family living on welfare, which is marred by its moralizing tone. Scottsboro: An American Tragedy brings to light the racist incarceration of nine black men for the alleged rape of two white women in 1931 and the mass movement, led by the American Communist Party, for their release--an important and fascinating film undermined by the filmmakers' earnest PBS style and their failure to link past with present. More compelling are Sound and Fury, a riveting low-budget film about a new therapy to alleviate deafness that has created enormous tension and anger among deaf Long Island suburbanites, and Long Night's Journey Into Day, a magnificent, provocative documentary about South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission that eschews the temptation to end on the crescendo of moral uplift that the academy loves.
Whoever wins, and despite recent reforms in the selection process, the real proof of the pudding will be the day Errol Morris takes home an Oscar, as Alan Adelson has suggested. But that could be a long time coming. Even if the restrictive voting rules are relaxed, there's no guarantee that the general membership will get things right. Still, applying the academy's usual standards to documentaries would be a big improvement. As it stands, says Morris, "I've got more of a chance winning my first Oscar for a fiction film than a documentary."

Lounge owner to plead guilty in bank robbery
The owner of the Poplar Lounge who was charged with bank robbery in November has indicated he will change his plea to guilty at his next appearance in federal court.
Gregg Drew, 53, has been in federal custody since he was arrested Nov. 13 at his East Memphis home, where police tracked him after the armed robbery of the Trust One Bank at 1760 International Place.
The gunman filled a black trash bag with bundles of money - totaling $6,926 - including one bundle with a GPS tracking device that led police to Drew's home at 5916 Lynnbrier 30 minutes later.
He told authorities his business was "in the tubes" and that he had taken cocaine.
Drew was temporarily placed in a drug rehab facility, but he was returned to federal custody several days later telling a counselor he had purchased cocaine from another patient.
A three-count federal indictment charges him with bank robbery, use of a firearm in a crime of violence and cocaine possession.
A change-of-plea hearing is set for April 13.

Boot camp is winding down to its final days. I have met some amazing people, shared some great laughs, learned a new lifestyle and, when it is all said and done, I will have lost more than the weight.
I have lost the bad habits that I had become so accustomed to. I have lost daily Taco Bell cravings. I have lost the inner fat girl. And with all this loss, what have I gained?
I have gained the ability to do not only one push-up, but several. I have made many new friends who have become a second family. They are the most supportive, funny, encouraging people I have ever had the pleasure of sharing my blood, sweat, and tears with. I have gained a new confidence, not only in my physical appearance, but in my ability to do things which I had convinced myself I could never do. I pushed my physical limits, I pushed the limits of my willpower, and I pushed myself into my skinny jeans that I swore would never fit again.
But enough about me; I asked the other girls what they learned in camp and what advice they could pass on to others looking to join. With New Year's resolution season upon us, I would like to see some of my readers challenge themselves to try the camp; they are taking sign-ups now for the new classes.
So, without further ado, here is a list of "What I Learned at Boot Camp," from those who lived it:
• Eat properly or you will become too familiar with the term "burpee."
• There is lots of jumping; wear tight pants.
• If you plan on staying at your boyfriend's house the night before camp, make sure to pack a gym-appropriate bra. Boot camp is impossible in a strapless.
• If you can walk fully upright after a full body workout, you didn't push yourself enough.
• Jess Yanik is sadistic, and when she grins and says she has a fun workout planned, run.
• You will have a love/hate relationship if you sign up for the 6 a.m. camp. The wakeup is brutal, but by 7 a.m. you will feel energized, awesome, and ready to start your day.
• When you are told there is only 15 seconds left in a stretch, they will be the longest 15 seconds of your life.
• You have to learn a new way of life, but anyone can do it.
• Never underestimate yourself; you are stronger than you think.
• Learn how to walk and talk on a machine at the same time; otherwise you will fall, and while it is entertaining for everyone else, it only adds to your pain later.
• You will become familiar with the terms "burning loins" and "shin mist."
• Never underestimate the power of motivation by working out in groups. It's intimidating at first, but you truly help each other work through the struggles.
If you are thinking of losing weight in 2014 and actually want to see results within your first month, you will have to work for it, but it is achievable. I'm grateful to have shared this journey with such an amazing group of women and will report back next time with my final numbers.

May 30, 2015
(December 24, 2013) On the day before Christmas, Amazon.com was already offering its "after Christmas" deals of as much as 70 percent off clothes and 60 percent off electronics.
Old Navy was running TV ads that said its "after-holiday sale starts early" with discounts of as much as 75 percent off.
Usually, stores wait until the day after Christmas to offer deep discounts on merchandise that didn't sell, but this year, Americans who are still worried about the economy have held back on their spending.
Sales at stores have fallen for three consecutive weeks.
At New Jersey's Garden State Plaza Mall over the weekend, stores including Ann Taylor, Express and Abercrombie & Fitch had 50-percent-off sales. Gap offered as much as 60 percent off.
One woman who visited a CVS store in Decatur, Georgia this morning was searching for stuffed animals for her children.
Heather Nadler said she still plans to hit up sales after Christmas, when she says she'll probably start shopping for herself.

But the former Mike Leach disciple will truck on anyway, and it's worth wondering whether he'll find marked success in his first season in Berkeley. The Bears are much more equipped to run the ball with speedy back Brendan Bigelow in the fold -- a weapon that could prove to be one of the Pac-12's most dangerous with some more seasoning. (Seriously, if you don't believe me, watch this. That dude is legit.) And as much as Dykes' teams are known for their passing, their propensity to go to the air opens up quite a few holes on the ground, where Bigelow could find plenty of open spaces.
Dykes' certainly isn't foolish enough to think that any of Cal's three quarterbacks will jump into his new system and excel right off the bat. That certainly won't be the case, given that the Bears' offensive line wasn't very good last season and lost 3/5ths of its core group, including All-Pac-12 center Brian Schwenke.
But will the up-tempo air raid win enough games to make Cal fans think they made the right decision in canning long-time coach Jeff Tedford? At this point, it seems like Dykes will just need time. After all, his first two seasons at La Tech Tech scored 321 points in 2010 and 391 in 2011. In 2012, that number skyrocketed to 618.
The man just needs time. Well...and a quarterback.
2012 couldn't have ended in a more nightmarish fashion for Tedford and Cal, as the last four games of the season amounted to a serious white flag waving session. The Golden Bears allowed almost 48 points and more than 472 yards per game in those games, not surprisingly losing all four. It couldn't have been a more obvious signal that Tedford needed to go.
That being said, there were some moments last season in which Cal looked like a legitimate threat in the Pac-12. The Bears did beat (read: smack down) UCLA in an usual 43-17 game that ended up being UCLA's most glaring "Huh?" moment of the season. But that team featured Zach Maynard and Keenan Allen, a quarterback-to-wide receiver/brother-to-brother combination that showed flashes of greatness.
But with the flashes came long stretches of inconsistency that would eventually doom Cal. Most of those offensive lulls came thanks to an O-line that couldn't block anyone and finished 118th in the nation in sacks allowed (a number that actually paled in comparison to UCLA, which finished second-to-last).
Defensively, the Bears final four games sent their numbers tanking, as they allowed the third-most points of any team in the Pac-12, finishing only behind bottom feeders Washington State and Colorado. And although Dykes won't be coaching the defense, it should be at least somewhat of a concern that Louisiana Tech's defense allowed a full five points more per game than Cal's below average unit.
We've already mentioned Bigelow, but given his De'Anthony Thomas-like speed and home run threat potential, it's worth mentioning again. And watching another video. Bigelow should be one of the most exciting reasons to watch Cal this season.
But the rest of the offensive skill position players aren't exactly chopped liver, and if Cal were to have a breakout candidate at quarterback, then there's reason to believe that the Bears could put up some points. Even without All-American talent Keenan Allen in the fold, Cal has a pair of young, potential-laden wideouts in Bryce Treggs and Chris Harper that could give whoever plays QB options in a more wide-open passing attack.
DeAndre Coleman, at nose tackle, should be one of Cal's most consistent defensive players. And if some players could make strides in defending the rush game, the Bears could put together a decent front against the conference's better running backs.

Aztec and Maya Calendar
Did you know?
The Aztecs did not use a leap year correction but they knew the length of a solar year is neither 365 nor 365.25 days. Presumably they kept some count of days to register astronomical events but no evidence of an Aztec Long Count exists.
In the tonalpohualli, the sacred Aztec calendar, this day (Sunday, April 21, 2013) is:
(Correlation: Alfonso Caso - Nicholson's veintena alignment [adjust] )
The significance of this dayDay Cipactli (Crocodile) is governed by Tonacatecuhtli, Lord of Nurturance, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Cipactli is an auspicious day, signifying advancement and honor. It depicts energy and work, rewards and recognition. A good day for beginnings.
The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Ocelotl (Jaguar) is ruled by Quetzalcoatl. This trecena represents brilliance and clarity during a profound eclipse of the light. The principal influence of this time is the divine Whirlwind: to stand in its path calls down destruction; to stand in its eye calls down creation. These are good days to withdraw into the solitude of contemplation and self-discipline; bad days to traffic with those on another path. In the center of it all, the warrior strives to be the mirror rather than the reflection.

The Brevard County School Board tentatively decided Thursday to reinstate ninth-grade sports after district officials found a budget error revealing that the sports program was $195,000 cheaper than originally believed.
In May, the board decided to eliminate ninth-grade sports for a savings of $373,000. In all, the board voted to cut $17.5 million from the $533 million operating budget.
The sports cut angered many parents who count on ninth-grade athletics to prepare students for more competitive high school sports, and it upset schools who depend on the profit from lucrative ticket ...

We hypothesized that high-intensity aerobic interval training results in a greater beneficial adaptation of the heart compared with that observed after low-to-moderate exercise intensity. This is supported by recent epidemiological, experimental, and clinical studies. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of myocardial adaptation to exercise training are discussed in this review.

Inukshuk for Peace
Dead Sea, West Bank and Israel in background
When's the last time you visited a Kingdom (excluding the UK)? How about the last time the value of the currency of the country you were in was higher then the British Pound? Or how about the last time you were in a country that shared the same name with your brother? Tick all three boxes if you're me in Jordan.
With a beer hard to find and roughly $8 a can, I had a feeling that Jordan wasn't going to be a big party, but with sights such as Mt. Nebo overlooking the West Bank; the Dead Sea; Petra and Wadi Rum I was pretty excited to see what was on offer.
The border crossing from Syria was pretty easy and by lunch time we were in the capital, Amman. Although we only stopped at a grocery store (for the most expensive groceries I have ever seen!), Amman seemed busy and fairly modern with construction ongoing on every second corner, shinny black Range Rovers and Mercedes Benzes whipping by and traffic lights that were actually effective!
By sunset that day we were trucking up the windy road to the top of Mt. Nebo (the site where God buried
The Wall
Left Side: West Bank Right Side: Israel
Moses because he was not allowed into the Promised Land) and after a little off-roading, just before the sun dropped beyond the horizon, we were looking across the Dead Sea at the West Bank and then further onwards towards Bethlehem. It was strange to think that within sight was a place of so much conflict, pain and struggle - not to mention a place that gets recognition on news stations around the world on a daily basis.
As the sky darkened we set up our tents overlooking the occupied territory and saw the lights of the massive segregation wall light up. With a landscape similar to the one we were camping in: hilly, dry, dusty (really with sweet-f@*$ all) it was clear that the people were not inhabiting this "uninhabitable" land for it's bounty; clearly history and religion take priority over quality of life.
The following morning Kels and I built an Inukshuk overlooking the West Bank and said a little prayer for peace then proceeded to pack up camp. Once ready to go we made our way back to the windy road and then descended slowly and sharply down to the Dead Sea, sitting 420 metres (yes
Dead Sea Coastline
420m below sea level
Four-Hundred-and-Twenty!) below sea level. Now, we've all seen photos of people floating in the Dead Sea…so what? When I was five my swimming-lesson instructor taught me how to float in a pool, so what's so special about this salty, landlocked, "dead" sea? With low expectations and high curiosity I waded in, careful not to cut my feet on the sharp salt crystals on the bottom. Then once I was sick of having my feet stabbed and I had a couple feet of water below me, I splashed forward… HOLY COW! Once my feet were off the ground my feet, legs and butt shot straight for the surface and I had to throw my hands out to steady myself. What's going on? The closest I've been to weightlessness is in water, but you always stay in the water; this water was literally trying to throw you out of the water! After steadying myself, I pathetically made my way to deeper water. There was a few of us out there by now and the experiments were on: on your back with both feet and hands out: float; on your stomach with your feet out behind you and hands out (sky-diver style): float;
Just Floatin'
In about 5 feet of water.
(now the crazy one) feet straight down, positioned vertical in the water with your hands at your sides (straight as a pin): still floating, with shoulders and head easily above the water! Amazing! If a ship ever sunk in the Dead Sea, I think it would turn out to be a pretty happy ending… except for maybe those whose head went underwater and they got salt in their eyes which burned like crazy and had to be washed out with fresh water (this happened to a couple unfortunate and over-excited swimmers in the group). The Dead Sea blew my mind and I'd go back in a heart beat to do some more floating. After a much needed freshwater rinse from a jimmied water-bottle shower we drove onwards to Wadi Musa, the gateway to Petra.
Built in the 3rd Century BC, by the Nabataean Arabs, Petra was a hub for the frankincense trade routes before the Roman time. The draw-card for the site now is what the Nabataeans left: beautiful "building" facades carved out of rose-marbled sandstone cliffs. In addition to the ancient history, there's also some very important recent history to the sight… none other then Indian Jones, whose
Dead Sea Salt
By the handfuls...
"Last Crusade" took place here! Having watched a pirated copy of the movie the night prior we now we felt ready to explore Petra. And explore we did! It was a full-on day seeing all the amazing carvings and continuously scratching our heads thinking "how did they do this?" Fortunately we arrived early and were able to see the main attractions - the Treasury & Monastery - before the masses arrived (even though it's a one hour walk/hike between the two sights). Then when the herds of people from the cruise ships and busses arrived we made our way for higher ground and hiked to the top of the cliffs with our friends Scott, Nicola, Dave and Tat for a picnic with a view, overlooking the Treasury. The hard work paid off as we enjoyed watching the tour groups of "ants" down below, and we all posed in the same spot as Doctor Jones did on his Last Crusade. After a full 8-hour day of exploring the beauty of Petra, whistling the Indiana Jones theme song around every corner and marvelling in the intricacy of the carved facades we said good-bye to Petra with a great sense of accomplishment and
The Treasury
appreciation for these ancient artists and engineers. While we packed as much as we could into one day, those who enjoy hiking could easily spend a few days in Petra seeing the sights from all different angles and view points.
The following day we left Wadi Musa and headed to Wadi Rum where we did a 4x4 trip into the desert made famous by Lawrence of Arabia. We hired old Land Cruiser trucks that bumped and spun through the sand with us in the back as we visited Lawrence's spring and old house (mostly rubble now) and witnessed the Bedouins who have evolved to still camp in this barren desert. After our 4x4 tour we drove our overland truck out of the Wadi Rum Reserve and into to "another part" of the desert where we set up our bush camp.
This was my favourite bush camp as we were totally in the middle of nowhere, with massive rock outcrops jutting out of the ground, a camp fire and stars a plenty. That night we busted out a few bottles of wine we had stashed from our Turkey-Syria boarder crossing and had a good time with our friends from
The "Indy" Shot
Indiana Jones stood in this exact spot!
the group. The following morning after breakfast we played a little desert cricket as the Brits and the Aussies slagged each other and taught this Canadian a thing or two about how to bowl. After the cricket we packed up and headed for Aquaba, the only port city of Jordan, giving the country access to the gulf of Aquaba and the Red Sea.
We had the afternoon to kill in Aquaba, and since it rained (the only rain we encountered in all the Middle East) we really didn't get up to much. That night we boarded an overnight ferry for Egypt (that's been known to leave between 12-midnight and 6am, depending on the Captain, and takes anywhere between 4 and 8 hours, again depending on the Captain). The ferry was an old Scandinavian ferry that was clearly beyond it's expiry date for Europe, so it was sold to the Egyptians and maintained in a very Egyptian way (not at all). The ferry was packed with people sprawled out all over the floors and the washrooms flooded from people washing themselves before prayer, but we were able to find an abandoned cafeteria that seemed to be reserved for Westerners and
The Royal Tombs
crashed out on the seats of the booths. The ferry left at about 1:30am and arrived around 7:00am and just like that we were in Egypt - or at least customs…
Due to the high prices of Jordan we only spent 4 nights, but managed to visit some of my favourite sights of the Middle East. Unlike the other countries, the Jordanians didn't really seemed too bothered by our visit, not inhospitable, just not overly fussed or in your face… I have a feeling they earn their money from other industries… Thanks Jordan, it's been a slice - Egypt here we come… again!
Until Next Time….

Brief history of Jordan
For most of its history since independence from British administration in 1946, Jordan was ruled by King HUSSEIN (1953-99). A pragmatic ruler, he successfully navigated competing pressures from the major powers (US, USSR, and UK), various Arab states...

wish i was there again
Your blog brought back so many memories. It is so desolute but so beautiful. You wonder why they called it the land of milk and honey. I loved Peta, wished I could of spend days there. We spent 2 nights in Amman one we didn't expect to stay. I have a great story of 3 olderish women(us) trying to get our bathing suits on while floating in the dead sea feet up. It is a spectacular place to see. I am glad you shared it. Hallie

Waka Flocka Flame Returns to Trap Roots With 'Slippin'
Waka Flocka Flame debuts his new trap anthem 'Slippin,' produced by Mike WiLL Made It.
Waka Flocka Flame debuts his new trap anthem 'Slippin,' produced by Mike WiLL Made It.
This is just so fetch: Amber Rose and a few friends, including Ed Sheeran, got together to reenact a scene from the 2004 movie 'Mean Girls.'
After touring around the world with electronic artist Steve Aoki last year, Waka Flocka Flame is embarking on his own trek in 2014. The 'Hard in da Paint' rhymer has just launched the Return of Flocka Tour.
The hip-hop world has seen another tragic death a day after Atlanta Doe B was shot and killed in Alabama over the weekend. Waka Flocka Flame is mourning the passing of his younger brother, rapper Kayo Redd.
Does the South run rap? According to Waka Flocka Flame, the region not only runs rap but music, period.
I've heard many people use the phrase "life-changing experience" when it comes to describing concerts they've attended. I myself have had the chance to see performances that have made a lasting impact, but nothing like the woman who says Waka Flocka Flame ended her marriage and saved her life.
Waka Flocka Flame, Nicki Minaj and Tyga party, giggle and ogle some women in their 'Get Low' video, which is a fun, if not groundbreaking, clip for the catchy track.
After debuting his posthumous duet with Aaliyah, Drake entertained a sold-out crowd at his third annual OVO Fest in his hometown of Toronto on Sunday (Aug. 5). According to Billboard, a bevy of hip-hop luminaries joined the Canadian superstar onstage including Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, the Weeknd, Rick Ross and Waka Flocka Flame.
Everyone should clap for this! Rappers Waka Flock Flame and Drake were able to shoot the video for their worldwide strip-club anthem 'Round of Applause.' The song became a viral hit after Drizzy laced his verses on the remix last year. The duo shot the video last night in Los Angeles.
I never thought that Waka Flocka's biggest fan was barely 2 years old. In this video a kid proves his die-hard Flocka Super Fan status by jamming to Waka -- even in his sleep.
It looks like 2 twin boys are napping in their car seats, until you see one of the boys (on the left) bobbing his head while still dozing along to Waka Flocka Flame's 'Grove St. Party' ... eventually coming out of his slumber in full rage party mode!

Kazutaka Nomura is probably not a guy you want to solicit for small-talk or pickup tips. He goes by the stage name PWRFL Power (a handle that inadvertently brings to mind Northeast whimsy-merchants Little Wings, who released an album titled Soft Pow'r last year) and bangs away solo on acoustic guitars while babbling on about self-actualization, pets, girls, and how one is never too old to learn how to play the drums. To the world at large, Nomura's broken-English, man-child folk shtick will register as buffoonery or mental instability; to the K Records faithful and fellow travelers, it might as well be PCP-laced catnip. Actually, if you can embrace or look beyond rhetoric like "Let me teach you how to hold chopsticks/My dad used to beat me up because I was holding them wrong/And I don't wanna beat you up because you're so pretty," his searching, lithe fretwork figures are their own graceful, delicate, callused-fingertips reward. Self-Evident headlines. With Capillary Action and the Yoleus. $6. 9:00 p.m. 1567 University Ave. W., St. Paul; 651.645.8472. —Ray Cummings
Triple Rock Social Club
Experiencing Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, the debut CD from Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox's Atlas Sound project, is a lot like wandering into a benignly psychedelic Candy Land blizzard or tumbling down an illuminated, kaleidoscopic mineshaft with no bottom. All control is relinquished to Cox's immersive, often outré armada of treated sonics, fluffed vocalisms, and a delightfully overcarbonated atmosphere. Sounds sorta similar to Deerhunter, but on his lonesome, Cox cuts out much of the dance-y pound and ornamental, Jolly Rancher noise that characterized Fluorescent Gray and Cryptograms; in their place is a floaty, almost Eno sense of amazement, as if these deep-soaking songs were as stunned by beauty as listeners can't help but be. "Gone are the days of wine and roses/They just make me nauseous now," he moans over the chugging, cavernous pulse of "Ativan"; in all likelihood, he spoke a few years too soon. With White Rainbow and Valet. $10. 9 p.m. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612.333.7399. —Ray Cummings
Guthrie Theater
Although the musicians of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars endured a hell unimaginable to most of us, they now create heavenly music whose fundamental message is the unbeatable troika of peace, love, and understanding. Most of the band's members met in a refugee camp in Guinea, having been forced into exile by a decade-long civil war at home. When peace was restored, the group returned to Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, and were reunited with lead singer and songwriter Reuben Koroma's former band, the Emperors, and together recorded their debut album, Living Like a Refugee (Anti-). Although obviously informed by their horrendous experience, Refugee transcends bitterness, riding a buoyant blend of roots reggae, traditional Sierra Leonean music, and bits of regional Afro-pop such as juju and highlife. Irrepressible joy flows through the Stars' warm, percolating rhythms and effervescent vocals, tied to a uplifting spirit that has made them worldwide ambassadors for peace and reconciliation. $22.50. 7:30 p.m. 818 Second St. S., Minneapolis; 612.377.2224. —Rick Mason

Florida Keys via the Hawk Channel
We are set to depart for the keys out of Miami (to Key West), due to a 5 ft draft I think (and based on what I have read) the Hawk Channel would provide a better sailing vacation. We have 10 days available and I have read several books on the keys, but I am looking for suggestions from those that have been. We are looking for some suggestions on good marinas (friendly people, avg cost, maybe a nice pub/restaurant) I have looked at some like Hawks Cay and that doesnt mesh with what we are looking for. Does anyone have some suggestions including other "hot spots" that we wouldnt want to miss while sailing the keys.

Have been involved in several charitable organizations over many years, and Gideons is by far the best one. Have been with Gideons for over 7 years. A very honest, caring group of individuals, very transparent with finances. The money received from churches and private donations goes 98-99% towards placing Bibles and New Testaments into the hands of people in almost 200 countries around the world who would otherwise not have access. Almost 100% volunteer based.

Video: Market to Market
MARKET TO MARKET will continue the tradition that's made it one of the longest-running series on public television and the longest-running agricultural program anywhere - solid reporting about the issues that challenge agriculture and expert analysis of major commodity markets that fuel the economic engine of rural America. Despite the fact that agriculture and rural enterprises represent important sectors in nearly every state's economy, rural America's stories are given scant attention by the nation's traditional media. That's why MARKET TO MARKET'S broad range of reporting - from global trade conflicts to environmental controversies to new technologies to emerging rural economic initiatives -- is so important. As important are the series' experienced market analysts who provide thoughtful insight about price trends and offer strategies to help producers and processors cope with changing times. Mike Pearson returns as host and is nationally recognized for his agribusiness acumen and rural expertise.
