Love, Sexuality, Relationship and the Will of Your Heart Weekend of January 24-26 , 2014
$405.00 – $1,750.00 (based on accommodation type)This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
Love is resonance with the flow of life. It connects us with all existence. We are able to direct this energy and make this love personal in the expression "I love you." When we commit to a relationship, we expand this love onto the personal and social level with the expression "I want to experience life with you." Why is it then so difficult to keep a relationship alive?
On the level of personality and social interactions, love can become distorted in many ways. We may romanticize, sexualize, and idealize love and attach our beliefs, desires, needs, and hopes to it, thus limiting our capacity to give and receive love.
In this workshop for individuals and couples, participants can discover a state of emotional and physical wellbeing that derives from rhythmic harmony. Core Evolution® addresses body-emotion-mind-consciousness as a unity. The experience of love unifies all these aspects. A person in love and sexual harmony communicates and creates from a place of wellbeing, peace, joy, and a sense of fulfillment.
Participants will learn how to identify and differentiate the nature and main elements of love, sexuality, and relationship, and their intention, motivation, needs, and wants in their relationship with themselves and others, including the nature of triggers, causes of unhappiness, and the possibilities for change.
Cornelia and Siegmar create a safe space to look at one's important topics in life, while offering dynamic exploration, creative movement, and expression and mindful centering.
For an eight-page magazine interview with Siegmar Gerken on Love, Sexuality, and Relationship, please e-mail email@example.com.

|A display mock-up of Tiangong-2.
|Station statistics

Tiangong-2 (Chinese: 天宫二号; pinyin: Tiāngōng èrhào; literally: "Heavenly Palace 2") is a planned Chinese space laboratory and part of the Project 921-2 space station program. Tiangong-2 was originally expected to be launched by the China National Space Agency by 2015[1] to replace the prototype module Tiangong-1, which was launched in September 2011.[3] In September 2014, its launch was delayed to 2016.[4]
In 2008, the China Manned Space Engineering Office published a brief description of Tiangong-2 and its successor Tiangong-3, indicating that several manned spaceships would be launched to dock with Tiangong-2.
In March 2011, Chinese officials stated that Tiangong-2 was scheduled to be launched by 2015,[5][1] following the deorbit of Tiangong-1. Unmanned cargo spacecraft will dock with the station,[1] allowing for resupply.[6][dated info]
In September 2014, its launch was pushed to 2016.[4] Once in orbit, it is planned to be visited by manned mission Shenzhou 11 and unmanned resupply mission Tianzhou 1. That resupply mission will use the unmanned resupply craft Tianzhou.[7]
Development specifications[edit]
The expected specifications of Tiangong-2 will be as follows:
- Crew size: 3, with 20 days of life support resources.[5]
- Length: 14.4 metres (47 ft).[2]
- Maximum diameter: 4.2 metres (14 ft).[2]
- Mass: 20,000 kilograms (44,000 lb).[2]

New research shows that 35% of US adults have software applications, know better as "apps" on their mobile device – but only 24% of adults use them, according to a new study by Pew Internet.
The most popular apps are entertainment based – games, music, food, travel and sports) and task related (maps and navigation, weather, news and banking.) Of adult cell phone users (82% of US adults), one in eight has paid to download an app. The average cell phone users has 18 apps on his or her phone.
It's an interesting trend for marketers as they consider new ways to reach their target audiences.
Apps rank low compared to other non-voice cell phone activities that US adult cell phone users choose to use their mobile phones for:
- Take a picture: 76%
- Send or receive a text message: 72%
- Access the Internet: 38%
- Play a game: 34%
- Send or receive an email: 34%
- Record a video: 34%

SpiralFrog inks music deal with Universal

U.K. music industry to sue AllofMP3.comJune 7, 2006
The 20-person New York-based company has signed a deal with record label Universal Music Group to offer songs for free, hoping to make money by showing ads to users as they download the music.
"Essentially they are paying with their time," said Lance Ford, the company's chief sales and marketing officer. SpiralFrog hopes to begin running the service in December, offering downloads in the Windows Media Audio format. The downloads could be played on the PC or transferred to a portable device, though notably not Apple Computer's iPod.
Although billed by some as an iTunes competitor, SpiralFrog's idea is more like subscription services such as Napster or MTV's Urge. Users are required to go to the company's Web site each month to validate their music, or else it expires.
This is not the first time that a record label has dipped its toe into offering music that is paid for through advertising revenue. Earlier this month, EMI announced a deal with start-up Qtrax, which is also looking to provide free, ad-supported music.
EMI spokesman Adam Grossberg said the label has been experimenting with a number of different business models, including several advertising-backed music and video services. "Ad-supported delivery of music...provides EMI with a potentially viable new source of revenue," Grossberg said. EMI has also been in talks with SpiralFrog.
Universal would not comment publicly on its deal with SpiralFrog.
However, a source familiar with the agreement said the record label received an upfront payment, in addition to a share of the advertising revenue generated by the service. Universal's deal with SpiralFrog is initially for just one year, though Universal may look to extend it if it proves viable.
Battling back after years of Internet-fueled file sharing, record companies are looking for business models that offer them revenue for their music. Meanwhile, more and more content-based companies are starting with the hope that widespread availability of high-speed Internet access will mean that more and more dollars will shift from traditional media to the Web.
"In the future, you are going to see this as a new advertising model for the Internet as advertisers desperately chase this elusive bunch of teenagers and 20-somethings," Ford said. The company's challenge is to both attract advertisers and get enough people to spend time on the site to make it pay off.
Ford said the company knows it needs to build a site that can keep users "occupied and entertained," but said that the more time spent on the site, the more music that people can download. "We think that it should be pretty compelling for both music aficionados as well as casual fans."
SpiralFrog said it has raised north of $10 million, though Ford would not say exactly how much the company has raised or which investors provided the funding. He said the company is in talks with other record labels as well. "They see money coming from us they wouldn't be able to get."

through the VIDEO ads just to get to meager video content. You
know $0.99 is a SMALL price to pay to not have such an irritation in

- Pirates, eh, matey?
- I wonder how much of the ad revenue will actually go to the artists. I think the way most recording contracts work, the artist won't even see any royalty revenue from this because it's not considered a sale. Personally, I like sites like www.zaziggy.com where the artist actually gets half the ad revenue for an ad sponsored download. No pirates there!

- Company Greed
- Well this is the prime obstacle at the moment. Universal is all right,
but there is no mechanism for paying the artists.
They also forget that you might have your laptop or MP3 player
away from an internet connection for more than a month, like in
the middle of Africa or the Australian Bush, or on an oil rig...
Just goes to show that all the recording companies are interested in
is their expense account lunches not the starving artists.

Cumberland Valley Superintendent William Harner is leaving Cumberland Valley (Pa.) School District to become Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Department of Education. Nominated by Gov. Tom Corbett, the Senate must approve the nomination.
After just six months on the job, interim superintendent Dr. Tom Michaelson says he's stepping down as leader of the Nampa School District. The announcement came at the end of Tuesday night's school board meeting where board members also voted on more cuts to help make up the district's $5.1 million deficit.
K12 Inc., a provider of proprietary, technology-based curriculum, software, and education services, today announced that James Rhyu will join the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer in early June.
Teachers in Tacoma Public Schools could be facing the first layoffs from their ranks in many years. The cuts, if they happen, will target only career and technical education (CTE) teachers, and likely no more than 10 of them. But that's nearly 10 percent of the 108-person CTE teaching staff employed by Tacoma schools.
The Aurora Board of Education appointed D. Rico Munn as the next Superintendent of Schools Tuesday. Munn served on the Colorado Board of Education from 2003 to 2007 and was a member of Gov. Bill Ritter's cabinet from 2007 to 2011.
Former Brentwood educational leader Dana Eaton is coming home to lead the Brentwood Union School District as its new superintendent.

Pearce eloquently highlights the ideological conflicts between urban animal rights groups and northern societies where hunting whales and seals is part of a sustainable and environmentally conscious way of life. I must, however, set the record straight on the role of the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission.
NAMMCO is an intergovernmental body based on an agreement between its four member countriesNorway, Iceland, Greenland and the Faeroe Islandswhich aims to contribute to the conservation, national management and study of marine mammals in the North Atlantic. NAMMCO was established in 1992, not as a lobby group for hunters, or a counterpart to private interest groups such as Greenpeace, as Pearce's article implies, but as an international body for conservation and management of whales and seals in the North Atlantic region.
Pearce paints an accurate picture of the exploitative nature of campaigns against whaling and sealing by groups such as Greenpeace, ...

It's most likely a problem with an addon that you have, especially since you mentioned that the game works fine without them. Try removing all custom addons and adding them back one by one to see which one is broken.

Bachelor 2013 Finale: Who Sarah Herron Picks
Sarah Herron was by far the fan favorite this season of The Bachelor, and we were all heartbroken when Sean Lowe sent her home. Given how upset she was when Sean eliminated her, you'd think she was still upset, but she only wants the best for Sean. And who does he think he can find "the best" with? Sarah picks Lindsay Yenter.
Sarah wasn't alone in that choice. Final three contestant AshLee Frazier agreed that Lindsay and Sean were the right match. What do you think. Are these bachelorettes right, or is Catherine Giudici the perfect match?

Flotow was born in Teutendorf, in Mecklenburg, into an aristocratic family. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire and came under the influence of Auber, Rossini, Meyerbeer, Donizetti, Halévy, and later Gounod and Offenbach. These influences are reflected in his operas, where a distinctive French opéra comique flavour exists.
He completed his first opera in 1835, Pierre et Cathérine, but his breakthrough came with Le naufrage de la Méduse (1839). The three-act romantic opera Alessandro Stradella of 1844 is recognized as one of Flotow's finer works. Martha was first staged in Vienna at the Theater am Kärntnertor on 25 November 1847.
In all, Flotow wrote about 30 operas. Many of these works were performed in different versions and under different titles, in German, French and sometimes other languages. Some survive, some are lost. (The table below is a tentative attempt to list them.) All but Martha and Alessandro Stradella have fallen into relative obscurity, though there have been a number of attempts to revive other Flotow works in recent years.
His best known aria is probably "Ach! so fromm, ach! so traut." This was added to Martha eighteen years after the Vienna premiere. It was originally written for a Flotow opera of 1846. It has been much recorded in its Italian version, "M'apparì tutt'amor."
Between 1856 and 1863 Flotow served as Intendant of the court theatre at Schwerin. He spent his last years in Paris and Vienna and had the satisfaction of seeing his operas mounted as far away as Saint Petersburg and Turin. He died in Darmstadt at the age of 70.

Want What You Have
I was just having a conversation with a good friend of mine. She's currently in a bit of a funk because life is not turning out the way she expected. From an external perspective, she has an incredible life. But that doesn't matter. She is still not happy. As we continued the conversation, we discovered that her expectations were the primary source of her disappointment.
Then, with her permission, I read her a brief passage from my Goal-Free Living book. It seemed to strike a chord with her and she requested that I start recording passages from the book for my blog.
Here is the first of many "5 minute motivational moments." Today's installment is from the chapter entitled, "Want What You Have."

Hi Steve,
Thanks for reading aloud from Goal-Free Living. It gives me insight into what you meant.
This line clicked for me: "the future's not a place to get to: it serves as a context for igniting passion nowâ€
I could add that the present is not a place either. I found this quote:
"When we look at ourselves with appropriate attention, we focus not on what we are, but on what we're doing — and in particular on whether what we're doing is unskillful — leading to suffering — or skillful, leading to its end.â€

A Patriots' fan said that losing the super bowl meant that "It was all for nothing."
I think many of us feel that the final result is the way we are SUPPOSED to evaluate all of our efforts.
At this time, I find that I can experience unending skillful efforts by looking at a goal, and then listing, NOT, weather I reached that goal at this time, BUT INSTEAD WHAT I DID DO. – basically listing what I did do successfully as GOALS ACHIEVED.
Steve, with warmth and conviction, you share your ideas – sounding as if you are experiening them for the first time – here and now.
The idea that I relate to is the value of appreciation. Perhaps, I am pessimist, because throughout the day I feel so very blessed by smiles, kind words, and my ability to stand and walk and even, to play tennis.
At this time, I have a set of goals that support my happiness in the here and now.
In 100 days, I plan to record 100 Instances of:
Enjoying exercise and moving, seeing benefits from savoring food, insights that I have applied, And appreciating people, health, good luck, and more.
Anthony and Stephen,
Thank you for what you have share with the world.
Happy Trails,
Richard (in Minneapolis)
PS: Do we really think that the value of our life is determined by the person who writes our obituary?

IS THIS the ultimate excuse for poor performance in bed? "Sorry, darling," the man says, just before falling asleep. "It's your genes."
According to a study published this week, up to 45 per cent of the differences between women in their ability to reach orgasm can be explained by their genes. Despite decades of surveys and conjecture about the role of culture, upbringing and biology in female sexual function, from Freud in 1905 to the Hite report in 1976, this is the first study of the role of a woman's genes.
Its findings suggest there is an underlying biological basis to a woman's ability to achieve orgasm. Whether that basis is anatomical, physiological or psychological remains uncertain, says Tim Spector of the twin research unit at St Thomas' Hospital in London, who carried out the study. "But it is saying that it is not purely cultural, or due to peer ...
