What is your biggest fear?
What is your biggest fear? Why? What have you done to over come it?
Aug 8 2013: Although I do not personally believe in a god, this message is very close to my heart, and reminds me of what my greatest fear can be at times.
Our Greatest Fear
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
[Often said to have been quoted in a speech by Nelson Mandela. The source is Return to Love by Marianne Williamson, Harper Collins, 1992. —Peter McLaughlin]Aug 8 2013: My biggest fear is fear itself. Other than instinctive fear for survival most fear is disabling.

Aug 19 2013: What is my biggest fear: is the fear of God (my worship and life are not accepted by God...)
- +3
Why: No guarantees (and no one really knows what is out there after life -we believe, we have faith but we don't know or can guarantee our acceptance)
What have I done: Keep on the good work, look and search for the truth, try to work harder and stay positive :)
Aug 23 2013: Your comment reminded me of several scriptural texts.........
"They publicly declare they know God, but they disown him by their works, because they are detestable and disobedient and not approved for good work of any sort." Titus 1:16
"For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; 3 for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. " Romans 10:2-3
"For the reason that this people have come near with their mouth, and they have glorified me merely with their lips, and they have removed their heart itself far away from me, and their fear toward me becomes men's commandment that is being taught, .....................the wisdom of their wise men must perish, and the very understanding of their discreet men will conceal itself." Isaiah 29:13-14
I think that many times in life, that small voice inside, tells us when we are not living up to what we feel is right..........whatever we have chosen that "right" to be.
In your case, and yes, in mine also, we have principles we have said we will uphold.
How to live in peace? Never set up your own righteousness.....pray for humility........do not become wise in your own eyes......make sure your works are in harmony with your public declaration or worshipping God.
And may I add, that fear, the fear that God speaks of in scripture, is a fear of displeasing God.
So, yes, we all do well to fear "not being acceptable to Him". Because like a loving Father, we do not want to displease Him with our lack of integrity-keeping choices.
Thank you for helping me meditate on these points by allowing me to make a mental connection through your comment.
It is my desire that perhaps something of what I have written has upbuilt your faith.

Aug 24 2013: HI Scot,

How many times do you pray if I may ask? Muslims prays five times a day every day, they (we) worship God as well as ask him for his mercy and kindness and his greatness to help us and support us and guide us and most importantly forgive us for what do wrong because of us... and many more prayers.
But, you said "He'll tell you" How? Do you believe there will be a spiritual connection or he will physically come to you? If not (and it is not) then what guarantees do you have? What if those were your illusions talking to you or better your sub concious guiding you. Not even prophets claimed they had that kind of power (to Guarantee) and they where the most spiritual human been, so How can we? There are no guarantees my dear, fear of God must exist to continue your Good work and his Love as well to balance it.
But yes continue praying and keep on the good work (look for the truth) that's your closest hope. Thank you.
Aug 26 2013: Why do you only pray 5 times?
And, may I ask, are your prayers repeating the same words over and over, or are they more like a conversation?
I am asking out of curiosity, in my community it is rare to meet with a Muslim who will discuss their faith openly.
Thank you Mr. Shirah.
We (by we I mean people of my faith), we approach God in prayer incessantly.
In other words, we converse with him all day, for many reasons, and in many ways.
I am unable to count how many times I speak to God daily.
It is like my family conversations. I am unable to count how many times I have spoken to my children in a day. We have an intimate relation in the family. And we have an intimate relation with God. Of course, prayers are a solemn thing. We approach God with respect and reverence each time we pray, but we do not count or have specific times to approach him, since scripture does not specify such counsel.Aug 26 2013: How many times do I pray....hmm....hard to put that down. At the very least four or five times a day formally, and who knows how many else informally. I think we both have a different meaning for the word prayer. By prayer I mean a two-way communication with God, where I talk to Him, tell Him what I'm thinking, and listen for His answers in my heart and mind. What do you mean by prayer?
Yeah, I mean a spiritual connection. If by guarantees you mean scientific evidence, then I have none. There's a point when I have to either decide that what I feel and experience is real or not. But what I have felt and experienced is pretty strong and undeniable, so I just choose to believe that. (I mean, if I can't trust my own life, then who can I trust?) Christians call it the Holy Ghost. Do Muslims believe in that kind of spiritual communication?
Prophets communicate with God regularly in the same method. How else would they know His word? How else would you know that what they say is actually God's word, if they're really prophets or just imposters? Without some kind of communication from God, all of religion completely breaks down.Aug 28 2013: Mr. Shirah, As-salamu alaykum
Thank you for your reply, and explanation of your prayers.
That was very kind of you.
Kind Regards,
MarySep 4 2013: It is the defining of god which is my greatest fear. When men define or describe god they are limiting god in that very act and thought and prayer, and their limited gods look very like common men out to impose their ideas, needs, desires and rules on other people. This imposition of anyone's idea of god seems to me the most terrible act anyone can take. The definition of god and the idea that anyone can tell what god wants of us, what god is or god thinks or god demands of us is the ultimate hubris, likely to lead us to create a hell here on earth for others, like the women enslaved and murdered because they do not conform to a standard which some man's interpretation of god imposes on them. Defining god as being a certain size, age, color, sex or defining god's desires and needs and moods as being similar to human needs and desires says to me that the person defining god is only expressing his own small choices, and that such a person is unable by virtue of his limiting rules and definition of god to ever come close to making contact with god.
Many religious people pray continually. I have heard a person who continually lives life as and within prayer called a Householder, when Buddhist. Every act, every thought is a prayer, and every situation therefore is an experience of life and of "god".

Aug 26 2013: How do you know that?
Aug 27 2013: Many people fear that God is so far removed from humans that he just will not answer prayers.
- 0
And yet, the scriptures call him the 'hearer of prayers'.
However, God does not answer everyone's prayers. God may actually 'turn his back' on a prayer.
Prayer is a wonderful topic to discuss in light of the scriptures.
There are many examples of individuals who have prayed for specific things, and have received a reply. While others, use God as an amulet and expect to be heard at whim.
It just doesn't work that way.

Aug 28 2013: Personal experience, as well as the experience of my family, many of my friends, and other people all over the world I've come in contact with. I can even direct you to a website where tens of thousands of people have uploaded a profile detailing their own experiences. No scientific evidence to be sure, but enough to convince me. I've taught people with no religious background whatsoever about how to come into personal contact with God and they did it on their own. Anyone can do it if they really want to. It's completely a personal decision though. God doesn't force Himself on anyone. But He's real, and I know that more than I know anything.

Aug 29 2013: Dear Chris, meditation is good we call it "Monajat" and ofcurse we do it and believe it. and thou it takes you to a very comfort zone and strengthen your believe and faith, it will never provide you a guarantee from God that you are accepted.
Think of the other people in this world who claim they believe and claim they have evidences of their believes -that are not based on individual or groups opinion or things that you don't see or feel- but actual real evidences and that completely contradict your believes! So there might be even a simple possibility 0.0001% that you are wrong :) and so my question remains can you guarantee -on behalf of God and not out of your believe of God- that you will be accepted by God? I think we all agree that the answer is "No" as no one can talk on behalf of God! And so the biggest fear remains the fear of not being accepted by God and if you overcome that fear then you should fear nothing cause even death is nothing but your transport to heaven).Aug 30 2013: To Tali Ara
In my experience, I have found that many a times we expect God to work according to our understanding and when the results are not as per our will but His will, we see it as a prayer not answered.Aug 28 2013: One of the biggest fears that a loving parent has is the fear of having harm come to their child due to violence.
I think that inside all countries are individuals with both faith, and spirituality.
There are also those without faith and spirituality, who take liberties with their power and oppress and hurt humankind.
Little children everywhere are hurt. Not just in Syria, but everywhere in the world.
Is it really God's fault, that such violence occurs?
Is it because he is not listening to prayers that Syrians, as well as others are suffering worldwide?
Everyone has their own answers to these questions. It all depends on what you have read, and what your personal experiences are with religion, and life in general.
I do not think that, as you say, some people think they are more special than others.
Given the fact that unforeseen occurrences befall us all, I doubt that individual Christian see God as someone who is to be treated as a good luck charm, who protects his servants from terrible things.
There is a lot to discuss in this topic, but I think it should be done in a conversation all it's own.
And I think it would be a wonderful thing to exchange views of how we cope with our fears.
Because while some of us avail ourselves of the privilege of prayer, others use different techniques.
It is in the spirit of sharing information for the upbuilding of our lives that we should endeavor to share freely what works for us.........doing so with a mild temper, and deep respect for our fellow TEDsters. IMHO. :)
Sep 2 2013: I can understand that one...The other day I got upset with my li'l nephew and spoke a little rude...he immediately had the scared look in his eyes that just broke my heart thinking "how could I do something so mean to a li'l child?"
Even thinking about it hurts. So yes, I may include that as one of my deadliest fears...Aug 27 2013: Agree to the very first comment, Mr. Maher Shirah! We might look at our efforts and actions to be enough for God's acceptance but only God and God alone knows what is in our hearts.
Everyone knows and claims truth in their own way with their personal understanding...what I find ironical is that we limit God based on our finite understanding and underestimate His powers and infinity of His being and hence we assume that we and those who agree with our faith will be accepted and rest of them will be rejected!
Aug 27 2013: Your point of 'there are those who assume that they, and those who agree with their faith will be accepted, and the rest rejected is a very valid one.
I do agree with you that many times humans underestimate His powers.............especially His power to Love us. :)
Maher Shirah
Aug 27 2013: This is all interesting conversations, lest's not forget that God is Love yes "forgivable", "merciful" but also "almighty" God is "fair"!

And back to your earlier query about our prayers, our prayers in definition is different than yours and I am glad you asked, so we have what is called "Doa'a" and that is similar to your prayers in principle, it has no limits, no specific time in fact we use this kind of prayer all day and almost associated with every event (That in principle similar what you described as a conversation but God is hearing it all but we hear nothing -as voice or vocal or even spiritual- however we may see or maybe feel the responses in normal life events or maybe not and that is ok in all cases as we believe that God hears it all, so a conversation from one side if you may) that kind of prayers has a recommended repeating verses such as "help me", "save me", "give me the power" but again its not limited to a specific words or time or a place.
The other kind of prayers are "Prayers" and that is more like worshiping that also include "Doa'a" in different places of the prayer itself. Those prayer are minimum required five times a day everyday but it has no upper limits (as per your capacity). Those prayers are to worship all'ah "God" and they have specific time and some repeating moves and words but also reading different verses from the Qura'an "the holy book and the word of God" as we believe.
We also believe that "Living" is no different from worshiping, working for example, doing or saying good things, and that is like living and imagining that God is next to you, so you do everything perfectly as you can...
I still believe we should fear God, we should fear him as much as we love him. And if my biggest Love is God then my biggest fear is also God.
(And back to the question, who can guarantee that his or her or my work will be accepted? No one except God and only God)Aug 14 2013: I have noticed that as I become older, I have fewer and fewer fears. Most of the stuff that people mention on this thread does not seem to matter much.
Aug 14 2013: Based on my experience with aging, it gets better and better as we get older Arkady!
Perhaps we learn that there is nothing to fear, but fear itself? Perhaps we have had very challenging experiences in the life adventure, and we think/feel.....well if I can do that, what else can be too much worse? Perhaps we see more and more that fear and worry uses energy that can be used in a more productive way? Perhaps we have gained some wisdom about what is more, or less important?
Personally, as I age, one of my favorite mantras sinks in to deeper and deeper levels of understanding and practice because as I have less energy, I want to "spend" it wisely:>)
"Grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference"Aug 23 2013: "As I become older, I have fewer and fewer fears", its a real rule man
But as you know this, more you have to fear people who have more experiences of living, since they won't fear what they do to you.
Aug 23 2013: Re: "But as you know this, more you have to fear people who have more experiences of living, since they won't fear what they do to you."
Not really. As I become older, I better understand older people as I go through the same experiences as they have gone through - growing children, aging parents, deaths of closed ones, health issues, work-related stuff, financial and economic problems. I live through economic and political "problems" which younger people have not seen. We fear what we don't know. What we know and understand (or, at least, familiar with), we do not fear. As we get older, we become familiar with more things and experiences. Hence, less fear.
Aug 23 2013: The rate of getting experienced is not the same in all people, someone at my age may have a better vision than me, he knows what my fears are, so I have to fear him !
"We fear what we don't know", its just one kind of fear, most of our fears are from what we know, as an ex., a little kid doesn't know how harmful is fire for him, so he like to play with it, but once he got burnt, once he knows the fire, he has a new fear !Aug 24 2013: I agree Arkady, that as we experience more of life, we are generally able to connect more with compassion and empathy, because we have shared many of the same experiences.
I agree with you too Mohammad, that "the rate of getting experienced is not the same in all people". We can experience the interconnections, compassion and empathy at any age if we are mindfully aware.
I also agree with both of you that fears come from what we don't know, as well as what we think we "know".
I find the best practice, is to "know thyself", which gives us courage and confidence to navigate the life experience whether or not we have internal or external challenges, whether or not we are unfamiliar or familiar with challenges.
I do not agree Mohammad that we "have to fear" anything. If we travel the life adventure with an open heart and mind, willing to learn and grow with the process, recognizing our interconnections, there is less fear at any age.Aug 25 2013: Mohammad,
Perhaps, when you say that we have to fear those who know our fears, you mean that when people know our weaknesses, they can exploit them to manipulate us. This is, certainly, true. E.g. when I came to the United States and did not have a green card, I feared a lay-off because my immigration status depended on the employment. When someone fears a divorce too much, this person gives power to the partner for emotional manipulation.
By having fears, we give power to other people to exploit them. Often, when people realize their power over other people, they are tempted to use and abuse it. I think, this is widely used by media and politicians. E.g. fear of terrorism is exploited to justify wars, military spending, and encroachments on civil liberties. Fear of gun violence is exploited to encroach on civil liberties as well.
As Coleen mentioned, knowing ourselves and why we fear things is instrumental in getting rid of the fears. I personally also like religious teachings that instruct to worry not about tomorrow, not to get overly attached to things and people, and have faith that there is a power that would take care of us. I understand that there is no evidence for such power and often things turn out badly, but I still find this faith useful.
Frequently, worry itself makes things worse, like a self-fulfilling prophecy. E.g., when we fear to lose a relationship, we may tolerate abuse and, actually, encourage this abuse letting the other person feel that we would tolerate it. Another example - out of the fear of terrorism, U.S. attacks other countries thus increasing anti-American sentiment in these countries and increasing the likelihood of terrorism against U.S. and increasing public support for it.

Aug 29 2013: Hi Chris,
- +2
Thank you for the reminder. I guess the answers to Why and What were so obvious that it somehow slipped my mind. Here here are my answers. Better late than never!
2. Why? I have lived the last 27 years of my life like the prodigal son. I wasted my time, money and talents on friends who aren't even a part of my life now. Something terrible but beautiful happened to me a couple of months back. I did wake up from my self-centered life and realized that I had made all the wrong friends who vanished when things got tough.I now have a clear head and realize that my part in life is more than just a mere battle for survival and meaningless existence. I'm trying to live a purposeful life now.
3. What have I done? I have woken up from my illusions and have found my voice. I'm actively taking part in forums and discussions like these. I'm learning like I never learnt before. I quit my old job and have taken up a profession that is more satisfying and meaningful. I have even started writing a blog. I know that I haven't really done much, but I'm trying to make the best of what I've left. I want to connect to like-minded people everyone and do something for our fallen world!

Aug 24 2013: Governments do indeed affect our wellbeing Lamb Lamb, and I agree that our leaders do not always make the best choices for the people, which sometimes contributes to problems, rather than solutions.
I continue to remind myself that as a citizen of a country, I am part of the government because I vote and participate on a local level as much as I can, with local elections and appointments.
That is how I overcome any fear of our government.....by participating to the best of my ability, and trusting/hoping that others will do the same.Aug 9 2013: That I shall start to take myself seriously. Life insists ; take it seriously old boy, don't fool around.
I kid a lot just to shake the creepy feeling that I got everything figured out.
Aug 14 2013: Your comment reminds me of a song Pabitra! Well, truth be known, almost EVERYTHING reminds me of a song...LOL

I'm sure you never said 'Sir Snake, bless my Physics, I promise you a pint of milk a day" :)Aug 29 2013: Dear Pabitra,
I watched some of the video you provided the link for, and intended to come back to it. Now it is not available.....it has been removed!!! Sorry I missed it.
I wholeheartedly agree with your original comment...not good to take ourselves too seriously my friend. Looks like this comment thread has turned into "my god", "your god" who is the "best god"!!!Aug 15 2013: Hay there fellow pilot. My biggest fear would be knowing that I have a biggest fear.
I guess that I am a fatalist. If it is going to happen it will. So why waste my time worrying about it.Aug 11 2013: my biggest fear is:death.I am still on the way to question myself:why.So far I can't over come it yet.
Aug 23 2013: Death itself ? or how you may die ?!
Aug 24 2013: Death itself,from my background education,I never got any positive education about death untill a few years ago,I read some psychological books or books about good education,about life how we deal with...I started to be inspired something.But it is still very vague to define or understand well death itself...
Only thing I can say:I am on the way to search what is the so called:death,as well as life.Aug 30 2013: Hi Dear Chris Kelly,exactly the Tao does explains very deeply about death conciousness.But we didn't learn too much about it when we were studying at school,probably just learned some others ideas about Tao from elder people.Infact all ideas about that were vague for me.So far,we our schools' education don't pay so much about Tao ideas yet.But teaching in action is more effective than curriculum.It seems HongKong or Taiwan is doing a good job about ancient chinese culture transmiting.
Yes,u are right,it depends when I could be conscious what I learnt.

Aug 10 2013: No (special) fears. I'm seriously worried about the horrible perspective of asking to myself, when I'll become old, if I have taken advantage of my time of life on Earth to do useful (or beautiful, or helpful, or pleasant, or..) things, or if my best and frquent task has been wasting time...

Aug 14 2013: Hello Sean,
I don't perceive time to ever be "wasted". Even if our time spent is less active, we can read, ponder, meditate, etc., and simply "BE" with an opportunity to learn. Is a perception of "wasting time" a judgment on our part?
Sean Brother
Aug 15 2013: Hi ColleenI 'm not sure if I've been well understood. I agree with the terms of your statement (because I think similarly to you about that question) , but in addition, I'd like to explain a little more better my opinion. What I wanted to say, is that what I don't like is wasting my time, wandering without any defined purpose, an objective. I really think than sometimes resting quietly with our mind/body working slow,, it's very pleasant and sometimes an useful medicine. But after this, if one continues in that situation, it's probably to begin feeling bored, and as if wasting (a precious) time. This is a situation I consider not desirable at all.In my opinion a well balanced life should be composed of well balanced resting and/or reflection moments and tons of action. For me, ideal life is composed by a lot of action and some well placed moments of peace and quietfulness. I hope have been able to transmit correctly this opinion ...: )Greets.

Aug 15 2013: Thanks for your reply Sean. I think I understood, and it's always nice to clarify. We do indeed, often share some of the same perspectives:>)
As I age, I recall that I was a very active person....sometimes I wonder how the heck I did so many things in one day!!! With age, I have less energy, and that means less activity.
Sometimes, I evaluate my time and activity, and remind myself that it is ok if I did not do as much today. I totally agree.....a good life is balanced, and when we "know" ourselves, we find and experience that balance:>)Aug 8 2013: for kidding ,my biggest fear is Injection, but , losing my parents and my brothers is biggest

Because, I'm a little too sensitive and most people (men) don't pay attention to details.
I tend to keep to myself than risk being rejected.Sep 6 2013: If you are interested in discussing children and fear, I am ready to discuss this topic.
Children's specific fears (Child Care Health Dev. 2009 Nov; 35(6):781-9)
The most commonly reported fears were animals (11.6%), blood/injections (10.8%) and the dark (6.3%). Just less than 1% of all children were assessed according to International Classification of Diseases research diagnostic criteria as having a specific phobia.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12543840 (BMJ 2003 Jan 25;326(7382):211-2
Fear of the dark in children: is stationary night blindness the cause?Sep 5 2013: My biggest fear is to keep in touch with something I'm not familiar with.Sep 3 2013: I can understand what you are talking about. My biggest fear is darkness. As you know darkness covers everything. İf there is a bad things it happens 80% in darkness. When I was my village I walked in darkness a long time and I usually turned back and checked my back if there is sth. So Darkness is my biggest fear try and see. don't forget you must be alone.
Sep 4 2013: Dear Ennie
Yes. We must be alone.
What is your bigger fear between Darkness and Death?
Warm regards,Sep 4 2013: You may want to capitalize on that fear and write a children's fiction book. :)
Many cartoons and bedtime stories for children mention this fear........
It is interesting that even as adults we may sometimes give in to the fear of the dark.......even leaving a night light on somewhere in the house.
Living in the city, there is always light somewhere around me......but I remember staying in the boonies once, at a family member's country home. When the lights went out, I couldn't even see my hand in front of me, and trust me, I waved it back and forth plenty, to make sure I wasn't seeing it...........it was very scary.
Sep 6 2013: Thanks for telling me cartoon-book…. we are all requested in the dark.
I am thinking Melatonin that is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. Melatonin is released only when the environment darkens, in night time.
Another way to say endogenous-sleep-promotion substance is Melatonin. Our biological system can produce Melatonin in the dark.Sep 4 2013: I used to live in foothills where it was so dark that I was terrified even driving home alone. It seems so instinctive, that fear of what is stalking us, that even in a car with bright headlights on, I felt afraid and watchful. it's one fear we probably shouldn't try to overcome it. There's no real reason to overcome. unless we are hunting ourselves and need the dark because our prey is nocturnal or so that we can stalk something without being seen.
Lots of predators, like lions, hunt in full daylight, but we are so much less afraid then. Interesting conversation.

Aug 30 2013: Well..........you know what they say don't you?
"God wants spiritual fruits..........not religious nuts."
I wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with a religious nut either. :DAug 31 2013: Tali,
I think I understand what you mean. Anyone who would try to impose their own beliefs, and insist that everyone follow those beliefs (or else) is frightening.
I have lived 60+ years practicing some religious and philosophical beliefs, studying, researching various philosophical/religious beliefs, having friends and relatives with varying religious/philosophical beliefs, and I have always felt comfortable with all of it. I respect all people and their beliefs AS LONG AS THOSE BELIEFS DO NOT ADVERSLY IMPACT OTHER PEOPLE.
With my involvement on TED a few years ago, I started learning more about what religions and religious beliefs do to some people, and it is quite astounding!
We observe, right here on this thread, that a person is fine with having a fear of god, and NOT ok with you having a fear of religions people! Wow....what's wrong with this picture?

I do not agree Tali that religion always causes that kind of behavior....it can sometimes apparently.Aug 30 2013: Dear Chris, I never reported any comments to TED :) and as I always say my biggest fears is God (is your comments God hahahah! Or are you God hahaha,,, don't worry I never report or delete any comments

Has Hurricane Isaac taught Bobby Jindal that in the face of natural disaster, small government is no help?
When the rising Latino star of the GOP introduces Mitt Romney tonight, he will be reaching out to a demographic with which his party is faring increasingly poor. But will it work?
We asked our readers what they would add to the Democratic Party platform. From alternative energy to the right to vote, here's what they told us.
As Nikki Haley proved with her applause line about her state's voter identification law, the specter of voting fraud is as alive as ever in the Republican party.
Will Huckabee be able to rally the religious right behind Mitt Romney?
For a quarter-century, they have been tightly controlled by the major political parties to protect the status quo. It's time for a change.
At the RNC, Nation reporters find a hard-right party that's cozy with lobbyists and interested in dealing with major storms only when they threaten their convention.
What's the matter with them? Do they have Stockholm syndrome?
While they were authorizing the ultra-right platform, the Romney team has been working to change the GOP's own internal rules to make Romney less vulnerable from a primary challenge from the right in 2016.

In the years B.C. (Before Centralization), General Motors' five car-making divisions operated like five separate car companies. Those who were picked to be a Division's General Manager enjoyed the perks and privileges of a company vice presidency-including a free hand in the making of the company cars they drove home.
In the case of Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, one company car that he had built when he was Chevrolet Motor Division's boss in the early '60s reflected on the performance theme he'd used to build Pontiac into a sales winner starting with the '57s, and the styling theme that his father, William Knudsen, used to turn Buick around in the '30s. It's a special '64 Corvette Sting Ray coupe that's now part of the MY Garage Museum Collection at Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, Illinois.
"In those days, those guys [senior GM execs] swung a pretty good sword-they could get done anything they wanted," says Mid America's founder, Mike Yager. "Obviously, with him heading up Chevrolet, it's my understanding that he had that car built for him, and that he had a pink one built for his wife that matched their home in Florida. So he went through the Styling studios and said, 'Do this,' and 'Do that.'"
Knudsen had a number of one-off features designed and built for the project that Chevrolet Engineering tagged "GPV-57." Starting at the front of the car, the grille was larger than the production one, with an "egg crate" design. The front bumpers were a different shape, mounted higher on the body than the production bumpers. A special hood with deeper recesses was designed, as was a pair of specially finned side exhausts. Two-prong knock-off wheels-as seen on the early '63 Sting Rays-were picked instead of the '64s RPO three-prong knock offs.

On the weekend of January 19th – 20th, four Wilson College student-athletes and two staff members traveled to Charlottesville, Virginia to represent Wilson at the annual APPLE (Athletic Prevention Programming and Leadership Education) Conference.
The APPLE Conference was developed and coordinated by the NCAA and the Gordie Center for Substance Abuse Prevention and is the leading national training symposium dedicated to substance abuse prevention and health promotion for student-athletes and athletics department administrators. The goal of the APPLE conference is to assist colleges in promoting student-athlete health and wellness by empowering teams of student-athletes and administrators to create an institution specific action plan. This year's conference focused on peer mentoring and leadership education to enhance substance abuse prevention efforts and develop ATOD (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs) policies with student input.
This conference marked the fifteenth year Wilson has been represented at APPLE. This year's APPLE team consisted of student-athletes, Hannah DeMoss (Philipsburg, N.J./ Belvidere), Megan Longstreet (Mechanicsburg, Pa. / Cumberland Valley), Caileigh Oliver (Martinsburg, W. Va. /Homeschooled), and Nikki Melanson (Hyannis, Mass. / Barnstable) and staff members, Cindy shoemaker, College Counselor, and Tracy Randall-Loose, Head Athletic Trainer and APPLE team coordinator. According to Randall-Loose, "The APPLE Conference is a valuable training symposium for our student-athletes. It helps them become peer educators and develop an action plan emphasizing student-athletes health to help our campus programming throughout the year."
In addition to serving as Wilson's APPLE team leader, Randall-Loose also presented on one of the conference's breakout session panels entitled "Strategies for Success After APPLE." In this session the panel discussed how to implement the work done by the APPLE teams at the conference, including how best to work with the higher level administration, establish a buy-in for the plans, and how to deal with challenges that might arise.

As a secondary meaning, Yinglish describes the distinctive way certain Jews in English-speaking countries add many Yiddish words into their conversation, beyond general Yiddish words and phrases used by English speakers. In this meaning, Yinglish is not the same as Yeshivish, which is spoken by many Orthodox Jews, though the two share many parallels.
While "Yinglish" is generally restricted in definition to the adaptation of Yiddish lemmas to English grammar by Jews, its usage is not explicitly restricted to Jews. This is especially true in areas where Jews are highly concentrated, but in constant interaction with their non-Jewish fellows, esp. in the larger urban areas of North America. In such circumstances, it would not be unusual to hear, for example, a non-Jew griping about having "shlepped" a package across town.
Leo Rosten's The Joys of Yiddish uses the word Yinglish and Ameridish to describe new words, or new meanings of existing Yiddish words, created by English-speaking persons with some knowledge of Yiddish. The fact that donstairsiker is listed as Ameridish and its opposite opstairsiker is listed as Yinglish, coupled with the fact that no Yinglish word is suggested in The Joys of Yiddish to have arisen outside the United States of America, suggests that Ameridish and Yinglish are synonyms. The Joys of Yiddish describes the following words as Yinglish except where noted as Ameridish:
This list includes words from Yinglish in this secondary sense; many of these words have not been assimilated into English and are unlikely to be understood by English speakers who do not have substantial Yiddish influence. Leo Rosten's book, The Joys of Yiddish, explains these words (and many more) in detail but, excepting blintz, kosher (used in English slang), and shmo, none of them is described as Yinglish in that book.

Health Information
Toss Your Baby Walker, Pediatricians Say
Safety is your top concern for your child.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) calls baby walkers dangerous and says you should throw them out. According to the AAP, one of the reasons why a baby walker is not safe is because a child is able to move more than three feet in one second.
Walkers can cause children to:
Roll down stairs, causing head injuries and even death. This is the most common way children get hurt in walkers. A child also can get hurt if the walker tips over.
Get burned. Children in a walker may be able to reach a hot beverage on a table or a pot on the stove.
Drown. A child can roll into a pool.
Be poisoned. A child may be able to reach poisonous items you thought were out of reach.
Pinch fingers or toes. A child's tiny digits can get caught between the walker and furniture.
The current manufacturing standard for walkers requires them to have a braking mechanism that kicks in when one or more wheels drop to a lower position, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says. This is supposed to prevent a walker from rolling over the edge of a step. The standard also requires walkers to be wider than 36 inches, to prevent them from fitting through a doorway.
Even so, parents should avoid all mobile walkers. For safety's sake, also make sure there are no baby walkers anywhere your child spends time.

America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts. Cities are tombs and survivors cling together in rural pockets, fearful of nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter whose new prey are the undead. Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America's heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path.

Julianne Hough Hangs Out With Nina Dobrev, Has a Blast Without Ryan Seacrest!
Breakups are hard no matter the circumstances, or who dumped who, especially when you're clocking in at over two years together. But a picture Julianne Hough posted on her Instagram yesterday leads us to believe the starlet is on her way to recovering from her very recent split from Ryan Seacrest.
"Beachin' with my bitches" was the caption Julianne added to the photo she uploaded of herself smiling among a group of grinning girlfriends that included Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev. US Weekly reports that the Safe Haven actress enjoyed some essential girly time before heading shoreside for fun in the sun. The flock of ladies went to a hair salon for some proper primping.
Nina also seized the moment on her Instagram, adding a picture of herself in a car with the caption, "Rolling to the beach with a roller in the hair hahaha."
What a fun sounding time! Though we're a little confused by the order of the day's events. The girls got their hair done and THEN went to the beach?
Either way, sounds like the perfect way for a broken heart to begin its healing -- with good friends and sunshine. Even if Julianne is still hurting, at least the pain is all inside -- wouldn't want that salt from the ocean water rubbing in any wounds!

Cindy Bailen, a color consultant in Waban, Mass., believes homeowners should strive for harmony between their interior and exterior color schemes. She says the goal is to provide a pleasant transition from the outside of your home to the inside.
Her recommendation is to look at the house as a whole, using color to unify its various components and to help it blend with its surrounding environment. Bailen says homeowners should consider a number of factors when choosing external colors.
- Neighborhood and style of home. Some communities enforce ordinances restricting exterior house colors, while other neighborhoods follow more informal codes. A multicolored Victorian palette may look out of place in a conservative, gated community. Aim to coordinate your home with the buildings around you.
- Existing colors. Consider the colors in your roof, masonry, doors and railings, because they'll influence your choice of exterior color. For example, a terra cotta tile roof looks best with warm or neutral paint colors.
- Accents. If your home has shutters, moldings or other interesting architectural details, you may want to include a darker or contrasting color in your plans to emphasize these elements and add further interest to your house.
- Landscaping. Contemplate your home's exterior during all four seasons to determine which natural colors dominate. If you surround your home with trees and bushes, you may want to choose an earth tone for your exterior color to create a unified whole. However, if your front lawn features a nearly year-round display of flowering plants, a more vibrant color for the exterior would help create a theme.
Just as homeowners should coordinate the home's exterior with the surrounding environment, they should also consider the color of the first room guests will visit when entering the house. The interior color doesn't have to match the exterior, but a similar tone will provide a smoother, more harmonious transition.

Wagner Foundation to Fund Student Interns
|Charles Udama
Charles Uduma, who is a master's in public health student in environmental health, will intern in the Children's Environmental/Health division of the St. Louis City Health Department, where he is evaluating the blood lead screening patterns of physicians in the city.
Evangeline Lalangas, a master's in public health student in health policy, will do her internship at the Missouri Budget Project and work on projects related to legislative issues, Medicaid and health reform.
|Evangeline Lalangas
Their stipend is underwritten by the Wagner Foundation Internship award, which supports internship opportunities with agencies that do not have the financial resources to pay students.
"This award will encourage students to expand their reach to organizations that do not have the means to support them, which will ultimately benefit both the student and the organization," said Edwin Trevathan, M.D., MPH, dean of the School of Public Health.

You may also see paperback editions of books advertised as 'A format'. This means that the size of the book is 178mm x 110mm.
so...... A is the typical paperback, and B is the long format paperback? or is B the typical and A is a shorter format?

Every lady has heard the pick-up line, "Did it hurt?" from a fella, either in jest or seriousness. Sometimes it's fun to play along and ask, "Did what hurt?" just to hear them say, "When you fell out of heaven, Angel." You'll have all the guys showing off for you and pulling out their best (or worst) pick-up lines when you wear the Angel Eyes cami tank from RVCA. It features an outlined bust, an allover star pattern and shirring along the empire waist. Shirred panels at the back along, darling three-button detail and a keyhole opening add a hint of heavenly style. You can tell the next guy that gives you that pick-up line that actually, it didn't hurt when you fell — you had the grace and strength of will to land on your own two feet.

In the sixth century, Mangalore became famous overseas as a major source of pepper. By the mid-1400's, the Persian ambassador Abdu'r-Razzaq saw Mangalore as the "frontier town" of the Vijayanagar empire - which was why the Portuguese captured it in 1529. In Haider Ali's time, during the eighteenth century, the city became an important shipbuilding centre.
Mangalore today is a bustling city with business and pleasure living alongside each other with equanimity. As a visitor, you can get your fill of just about what your heart desires. There is mouth-watering cuisine, beautiful scenes and beaches, parties you can spend nights at and a lot of local culture. The people are warm and hospitable, with a zest for life that reaches out and embraces you.
Population: About 500000
Climate: Mangalore can get quite hot and sultry during the summers with temperatures ranging between 40°C to 26°C. Winters are warm but comfortably so with temperatures ranging from 35°C to 22°C.
Main Language(s): Tulu, Kanadda and English Time Zone: GMT + 05:30
Phone Area Code: 0824 Best Time To Visit: While Mangalore is hot, the place sees visitors the year around, though it might not be a very good idea during the monsoons, which can be more than heavy.
Airport Distance from City Center: 20 kms Taxi Rates from Airport to City: Rs. 300 (Approx)
St Aloysius College Chapel
The Chapel was built in 1899-1900 in the memory of Aloysius Gonzaga and resides within the college. Situated in the heart of the city, the Chapel is a must-see for more reasons than one. Italian artist Anthony Moscheni covers the walls of the Church with his paintings. Everywhere you look - the ceilings, the roof and the walls, there are exquisite paintings, which take your breath away. The central row of paintings on the ceiling depicts the life of Aloysius Gonzaga.
Bejai Museum
Browse around this relatively low profile museum and you will come away surprised. The Sreemanthi Bai Memorial Government Museum at Bejai is shaped like a ship for starters and houses some interesting pieces of art and artefacts. Built in 1955, the museum is treasured by those interested in sourcing outdated artefacts. For those that are more contemporarily inclined, there is quite a bit too.
New Mangalore Port
Shipping is nothing new to this city that has been the centre for trade. Mangalore has one of the largest ports in the country. Construction of the new port began in 1965 and today, the New Mangalore Port is reputed as one of the better-looking ports in the country.
Manjunatha Temple
This 10th century Shiva temple built during the Nayaka period is unique for its mix of deities. There is the shivalinga in the sanctum sanctorum and Buddhist deities in the verandah of the temple. Located atop the Kadri Hills, the temple is an example of the exchange of culture and a tolerance that existed in times gone by.
Sultan's Battery
This watchtower was originally built to be on the lookout for warships. The job of the watchtower also included warning concerned authorities and preventing the warships entering the River Gurpur. Built during the time of Tipu Sultan, standing atop this watchtower almost gives you a sense of suspense like it is only a matter of time before you spot a warship. The view is great, so make a trip.
The best thing about Mangalore are its beaches. Laze in the warm sun and get a tan. The beaches here are wonderfully and pleasantly clean and make for an ideal holiday or getaway. Some of the more popular ones are the Tanirbhavi, the Suratkal, Sasihitlu, the Ullal and Someshwar Beaches.
Mosaru Kudike - This festival, which translates into the 'drinking of buttermilk' is celebrated in the memory of Lord Krishna, who used to love butter so much that he stole it from the great heights that it used to stored in. Part of the Krishna Janmashtami celebrations, people gather in the evening to watch boys climb on each others' shoulders to reach out and grab pots of buttermilk along with coloured water and money that are tied to two poles in the middle of the street. This is quite a feat of co-ordination and balance since one weak link can bring all the boys crashing down.
Korida Katta (Cockfight) - A little more rural in nature, the cockfight nevertheless makes for quite an exciting experience. Opposing parties bring their fighting cocks, which are geared with steel blades tied to their feet. They are then set against the other and there is much excitement and cheering from the gathered onlookers. The reward for the winner is that he gets to take home the cock of the loser.
Pili Vesha - The Pili Vesha or tiger dance is normally performed as a part of the Dusshera and Krishna Janmastami festivals. This performance involves the participants, who are normally young boys and men, painting their bodies in a yellow and brown stripe pattern. Traditional and folk in nature, this dance is typical to North Karnataka. It is performed with a lot of grace and energy and is a pleasure to watch.

Today Is My One-Year Engageaversary! When is Yours?
It was 4 p.m. on a Tuesday and I was in a meeting at work when a co-worker tapped me on the shoulder and said, "There's a situation upstairs."
I pretty much immediately knew that I was getting engaged. (I'm not psychic — we had been talking about it and the timing just seemed right.)
So I walked upstairs to find a little red and green polka-dotted bag sitting on my desk.
Inside was this note…
I ran into the bathroom and my co-workers followed with champagne and little paper Dixie cups. I slipped on the dress (a red dress he had picked out himself at Anthropologie), did up my makeup and said goodbye to my co-workers!
(It looked like this!)
Ben was outside waiting in a red car. That's when I realized there was a reason for all of the red: When I was a younger, I used to tell my friends that on my first date, I would wear a red dress, get picked up in a red car and go to dinner at Red Lobster.
"Oh no. We're not going to Red Lobster — are we?" I asked.
"No, I could never do Times Square," he said. (Phew.)
"We're going to Blue Ribbon in our neighborhood and we're going to order the lobster."
After dinner, we drove from our Brooklyn neighborhood back into the city and over to the Soho Grand Hotel. He was all checked in and in the room was his laptop set up on the side table — along with a bottle of our favorite champagne and our favorite songs playing the background.
He sat me down and explained that he wanted us to tell our story to one another — from how we met and fell in love and moved to New York together to the time we adopted our crazy cat, all the fun vacations we had taken together and more.
THREE hours later, we had recorded just about every story we could think of. And then he proposed. It was weird and awesome and amazing.
(It's a yellow gold engagement ring with a yellow-orange sapphire.)
We took several terrible photos on our iPhones…
We texted our friends and family — and then shot this little video in the morning and posted it to Facebook.
We have enormous families so we also sent an email to both sides of the family. Ben's email to the family went something like this:
Hi all,
After a solid seven years of normal, perfectly happy, loving relationship, I decided to shake things up by asking Anja to marry me last night. She's into it. We're engaged.
Long story of how it all went down, but the gist is…
– Rented a cool car
– Delivered her a dress at work for her to change into, with a note that essentially said, "This is happening now."
– Picked her up from work
– Dinner at our favorite restaurant
– Made a 3hr audio recording of us telling our story from how we met until now (culminating at the proposal*)
– Staycation at a fancy hotel in Manhattan
*For those of you who are ultra curious, let me know and I can send you a photo of the ring separately.
We're really happy about it all and wanted to share it with you. No specific wedding plans as of yet, but we'll obviously keep you posted when all of that starts to come together (we're most likely shooting for a wedding in Arizona in Spring of 2013).
We're staying put this holiday season and won't see you, but know that we're thinking about all of you and wishing you the best of holidays and a very merry Christmas.
Much love,
Ben & Anja
A few weeks later, my The Knot editorial team surprised me with me an engagement party at work. The theme was "Anja's Red Hot Engagement Party."
And of course there was a cake (made one of my favorite bakers, Mark Joseph Cakes)!
So that's the story.
We haven't had engagement photos taken (yet!) but this is one we snapped over the following weekend. Tired, happy and engaged.
The wedding is in May, so we're in the middle of making lots of wedding plans, but tonight we're going to take a break from it all and celebrate our engageaversary.
We'll do dinner at Blue Ribbon, order the lobster — and I think I'll wear my red dress too.

A defiant Greenwald promised that he was going "to write much more aggressively than before" about government snooping.
"I'm going to publish many more things about
Miranda said he wasn't threatened while detained at Heathrow, but confirmed that personal objects were taken from him.
"I stayed in a room, there were six different agents, entering and leaving, who spoke with me," he said. "They asked questions about my whole life, about everything. They took my computer, video game, cellphone, memory thumb drives, everything."
Miranda was held for nearly the maximum time that British authorities are allowed to detain individuals under the Terrorism Act's Schedule 7, which authorizes security agencies to stop and question people at borders.
"What needs to happen pretty rapidly is we need to establish the full facts," Keith Vaz, chairman of Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee, told the BBC.
"Now you have a complaint from Mr. Greenwald and the Brazilian government — they indeed have said they are concerned at the use of terrorism legislation for something that does not appear to relate to terrorism. So it needs to be clarified, and clarified quickly."
Vaz said it was "extraordinary" that police knew that Miranda was Greenwald's partner and that the authorities were targeting partners of people involved in Snowden's disclosures.
Greenwald has written about NSA surveillance programs based on files disclosed by Snowden, who now has temporary asylum in
Miranda, a 28-year-old university student, was stopped while traveling home to
British police acknowledged that they had detained a 28-year-old man at 8:05 a.m. He was released at 5 p.m. without being arrested, the Metropolitan Police Service said. They have not commented further.
The Guardian newspaper reported it paid for Miranda's flights but said that he was not an employee of the newspaper.
"As Glenn Greenwald's partner, he often assists him in his work," the newspaper said in statement. "We would normally reimburse the expenses of someone aiding a reporter in such circumstances."
In an email Monday to The Associated Press, Greenwald said he needed material from Poitras for stories he was working on with her relating to the NSA, and that he had things that she needed.
"David, since he was in
Greenwald didn't say what material Miranda may have been carrying, but said only he and Poitras "have copies of the full archives of NSA documents which Snowden gave to journalists, so much of the speculation about what he was or wasn't carrying is misinformed."
The British Home Office did not comment on Miranda's detention.
But it defended Schedule 7 in a report last year, arguing it was designed to help authorities determine whether people crossing
David Anderson, Britain's official independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said he had asked authorities to explain why Miranda was detained and held for so long. He said fewer than 40 people out of 69,000 stopped under Schedule 7 in 2011-2012 were held for six hours or more.
In most cases, those questioned under Schedule 7 are detained for less than an hour.
"It is such a wide power that it would be surprising if it was used perfectly on every occasion,"
Isabella Sankey, policy director at the human rights organization
"This case very clearly highlights all the huge problems with this power," she said. "Shocking that it is, we're not surprised. We see this power used routinely. ... It's caused huge alienation."
A spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron said that "Schedule 7 forms an essential part of the

fwiw, i sold my old, 40GB PS3 with a busted optical drive to Gamestop for $122 in store credit. i arrived thinking that i might be offered $40 for it b/c of the busted drive, but the guy put it through the system, registered it as 'refurb' and voila - $122. i couldnt believe it. anyway, i put that store credit towards the purchase of my Wii U.
I am seriously considering the Wii U. Gamestop is offering a $165 store credit for my iPhone 4 which will be replaced soon. I also have an old spare xbox that they will give me another $100 or so for. Would be a nice cheap new console. Anyone have any ideas that don't involve trading in games to bring it closer to $0? A free console for getting rid of old crap would be great.
