My boyfriend's friend is spreading rumors about me for no reason.
My boyfriend's friend, Mark, never seems to dislike me when I see him in person. he is always really nice and says hi to me, but for some reason he... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
1. One can tell a lot about a person by looking at his/her friends. Is Mark a good friend of your boyfriend ?
2. Ask your boyfriend "Why are you tolerating Mark to spread rumors about me?", "What do you when Mark tells you these lies?" See HOW he answers these questions, look at his facial expressions, get the essence of his energy. This is a good opportunity to understand the kind of integrity your boyfriend has. I would not choose a friend who spreads rumors about anyone, be it my girlfriend or other friends.
3. Ask yourself, "What kind of guy do I want ?" Make no compromise.
4. The best way to deal with rumors is live your life as if they never exist.
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 1
Maybe he feels as if you are coming between him and his friend (your boyfriend.)
I suggest you confront him the issue and say "What's your problem with me?" and
find out what's really going on.
I want to! But my boyfriend keeps telling me not to...believe me, your idea is probably the first thing I'd do if I was able to. It hurts to not be able to confront a person who is trying to screw me over.
Then nobody can tell you what's really going on unless you find out for yourself.
Have an opinion?

My Child Doesn't Want to Meditate
May 5, 2011
What is the best way to teach a six year old to meditate.
I MAKE mine mentally chant a mantra for 15minutes followed by the AUM MEDITATION.
But he does not like to meditate and he keeps fidgeting.
Usually it's counterproductive to force children to meditate or chant. It builds up a resistance that can take decades to break down.
It's better to find ways of involving them that they like, for instance stories and games that have some spiritual overtone. The classic approach in India is tell young children stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Stressed by Parenting and In-Laws
November 1, 2010
dear expert,
i love your blogs.i am presently married into a family which so very different from mine. it stresses me out totally. i have a beautiful 2 yr old whom i love more than my own life. i take excellent care of her too.however when i get stressed out especially due to inlaws issues, i loose patience with my kid. she becomes the target of my weakness. the result,i feel guilty all the more and undeserving too h
Dear One,
I understand how stress and impatience can surface, especially when children are young. It is important to make sure you have a way to nuture your inner life so you can ride the waves better. It is the best preventative for stress.
I know that is easier said than done with a husband, in-laws and a child and duties that are 24/7!
I don't know if you have a meditation practice, do yoga postures or do the energization exercises but if you do any of these soul centering practices hang on to them, even if once a day or once a week! Any amount of inner peace will go a long way during a stressful day.
And keep God in your mind and heart. In whatever form God comes to you call His or Her name........saying Divine Mother, Divine Mother please be with me. God hears any thought or prayer of the heart.
Then if you become 'impatient' with your daughter you will find you will spring back quicker and even have the right words to say to her in apology for being off center. Your daughter will understand and will easily forgive and forget. If you are open with her like that she will help you remember the next time you get impatient with her to think of God and relax.
We can't so easily get rid of frustration overnite but we can work with it as well as we know how. God or Heavenly Father or Divine Mother will step in and show us new ways to talk with Them, to act and center ourselves.
If you do Yoga Postures or Energize ask your little girl to do them with you.....she would even sit and meditate with you for a short time if you ask her...'because Mommy is doing it'. I teach preschool and I know that children that young enjoy yoga postures and meditation in a this form. I like it because it centers me and the entire class together.
This also deeply connects you and her so your practice is not separate from her. Also, you husband can join in!
Be creative, be kind to yourself because you are doing your best and your daughter and God know it.
And he never gives us more than we can handle but we have to ask for His help and strength and love to be with us!
Let me know how it goes.
Marriage and family
June 24, 2010
I am a reasonably spiritual person & love humanity. I have been married for 20 yrs with a childhood friend of mine. I was highly satisfied with my life & career growth till 5 yrs back when I learnt that my wife had been cheating on me for a decade. I am devastated since then and survived solely due to my spiritual leanings & responsibilty for my kids. We are now separated for 2 years but I wish her to come back for kids sake as it's none of their fault. Am I wrong & weak or right in my thinking?
Dear Ravi,
It is important that your wife agree with your proposal so that her returning is something you both feel is right.
I assume from your note that you have the children with you and that she left the home (perhaps at your insistence).
Having both parents together is only a benefit if there is harmony between them.
It is important you be clear in your intentions as to what expectations you may have if your wife were to return: is it only for the sake of the children or do you hope to reunite as a couple? Are you looking for household help in cooking or cleaning? These expectations should be clear and discussed with your wife and her consent and agreement are important.
Pray to God and the Masters for guidance in this matter and consider consulting someone who knows you and the family and whose judgement is wise and impartial.
The Dharma (Spiritual Duty) of Having Children
January 22, 2010
Should one give up having a child for the spiritual path OR can having a child be ones dharma, gods will, a part of the spiritual path? How do you know which path is for you? What path do you take in marriage if both people have differing viewpoints (desires)? What are Yogananda's guidelines about having children?
Dear Kaivalya,
The paths to God are as varied as there are individuals. For some people, being a renunciate and withdrawing from all worldly involvement is the way to inner freedom. For others fulfilling one's earthly responsibilities with non-attachment and with the thought of God brings realization.
Certainly raising children is the spiritual dharma for many people. If you are uncertain as to what is right for you, the best course to follow is to pray for guidance. Concentrate deeply at the spiritual eye, and offer your prayer-demand to God with deep focus and sincerity. Then try to feel the divine answer in your heart as a calm, clear, joyful feeling.
If both partners in a marriage do not feel clear about having children, it's best to wait. Raising a child is a lifetime responsibility, and unless you can joyfully embrace this step, it is often a cause of unhappiness and stress. It's important for a couple to talk about this step, and to agree together if and when they are ready for children.
Yogananda did not say specifically if it was better for people to have children or not. He was too great a soul not to know that everyone's karma is different.
What he did say was parents should fulfill this dharma without a sense of attachment to their children or to the thought that raising a family in and of itself will bring fulfillment. He said to feel you are serving God through your children, and to offer your service back to God.
The best attitude in all aspects of life is to hold the thought that our true happines lies in God alone.
My 4-year old likes to meditate
October 19, 2009
Last Sunday I awoke later than normal. Usually I meditate when my family is sleeping When I announced that it was time for me to meditate, my 4 yr old said he wanted to also, he sees me do this in the evening.
I fixed him a place next to me and gave him basic instruction. Amazingly he sat quietly for the full 24 minutes.
All week long he has talked about when we meditate on Sat. & Sun.
I wonder how much is wanting to be like dad & how much is genuine spiritual need. How can I help him along?
Meditation is a good habit, so I would let your son mediatate with you for as long as he wants to.
What a blessing that he is not only open to it at such a young age, but that he is self-motivated. My two children enjoyed sitting on our laps at the end of our meditations, but didn't sit next to us (my husband and I) for any period of time. I would go with the child's inclination, and share with him how you feel about your special meditation time together.
He may want to be like his dad, and what a great role model you are! Children learn by example, and you are giving him a wonderful tool for life. I would let him determine when and how long he meditates, and see what transpires...

My child is using drugs
August 25, 2009
Brian M Dotson
I was recently at the Spiritual Renewal Week (Ananda Village), and spoke with so many wonderful yogis. While I was there, difficulties with my children arose involving drug use. One was receptive to my parental approach upon my return. My older son who is using as well has hardly talked to me in two years and acts more hateful than ever.
He continues to make me feel like my heart has been ripped out! Hriman counsels me frequently and his words and my spiritual practice helps... but I'm still in deep pain from all of this.Blessings
Family dynamics are often intense, and there are no quick fixes.
If a child is blocking a parent's help, it can't be forced upon him or her. Sometimes there is nothing a parent can do but keep the child surrounded in prayer ... and wait. It is a good time to affirm that the child really belongs to God, and that in the long run God is in charge of the soul. The prayers will bear fruit in God's time.
For a classic example read about the relationship between St. Augustine and his mother in his Confessions.

Should I become a mother?
January 6, 2009
a question that has been bothering me for quite a while is whether it is my duty as a married (and healthy) woman to have children?
Thank you and kind regards.
Dear Sabine,
In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna explains that each person has a unique dharma (duty) to fulfill. What is a right and admirable duty for one person, is not necessarily appropriate for another person. Each of us needs to tune in to what feels right for us, as opposed to what others tell us they are doing, or what seems generally to be a good idea for most people.
Having children is a source of joy for many people and brings many people great fulfillment. These are the people who should have children. The criterion for knowing if you should have children is if you feel this will be something you and your husband can do with joy.
It is very helpful in a marriage for a couple to share some form of selfless service together. Raising children together is one such form of service. There are many other ways of uniting your energy through serving others - you might create music together to share with others; you might take on a service project in your town to help others less fortunate.
It might be fun for you and your husband to exercise your imaginations and think what form of service to others would be inspiring to both of you. Again, don't being bound by what others do, but what inspires the two of you.
In divine friendship,
Attachment to family
September 2, 2008
I am blessed with 5 wonderful children and a very loving wife. I feel very attached to my family. Is this spirtually wrong? I so much thirst for God every moment of day and night, but I feel so much love for my family. I try to see that love as a love for God as well, but I could use some guidance on how to not turn my love into attachment.
Dear Kurt,
Thank you for your beautiful letter. A person who can say they thirst for God every moment is blessed indeed. And how more blessed you are to be able to express that through your family life. Paramhansa Yogananda said something very beautiful: "I don't speak of non-attachment. I am attached equally to all. Attachment is binding when limited only to a few."
Isn't that an expansive way to view attachment? Instead of trying in any way to lessen the love you feel for your family, try to love all people in your life with that much love-because they are the same expressions of God you see in your family. Swami Kriyananda said recently that he loves everyone, because he sees that every person has the same goal: bliss. They may be seeking it differently than he, perhaps mistakenly, but they are reaching toward the same goal.
Every night before sleep you might want to practice focusing on your love for God, and handing each person in your family over into His care. "Lord, this is Your child. I trust that you know exactly what he/she needs and are caring for him. Guide me to be your true helper."
Of course, it would also help you to have time for private meditation each day (even for 5 minutes), when you could go deeply into the experience of God's love. You probably already do this, but if you'd like more help with this, you can check the Meditation Support section on our website.
In divine friendship,

Rated 5 out of 5 by Doc82 Great hotel Excellent location for a visit to Vancouver September 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sydney88 Horrible Front Desk and Noisy Room Checked into the East Building, waited about 15 minutes with no one in front of me except the two front desk staff having a meeting at the counter. My baby girl and wife waited patiently as well. I was frustrated as the clerks glanced over and continued their meeting. I walked out and headed towards the West Building, only to find out my reservation had been booked at the Richmond Westin Wall. We did get a room. The worst room ever, on the 2nd floor, across from the downtown hospital. Sirens all night. I went down to complain only to be told they were fully booked and could not get us a better room. Very disappointing Sheraton. September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robbert Super great I am a frequent guest of this property...as always, I was very happy. You also can't beat the location. Front desk staff is particularly friendly and made me feel very special as a Gold SPG Member. I like feeling special. ;-p September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robbert Great! As always, I was very happy with this property. September 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TheresaAnn the hotel met my expectations the hotel was clean. Hotel personnel was very helpful September 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jgc41 Very comfortable with views We have twice stayed at Sheraton Wall Centre and both times have enjoyed a very comfortable stay. The hotel is handy to all Vancouver has to offer and has amazing views of the city and surrounds. Can recommend this hotel. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Outsider23 Great view Loved the view. My only thoughts were that it would be nice to include toothpaste and additional drinking water for the value. Nice hotel. September 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Murphy1376 Customer service review My entire stay was wonderful. Stacy at the front desk was especially wonderful, assisting my husband and me with our vacation plans. September 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Marcus Hotel is like home I come to Vancouver once a month and as an SPG platinum (lifetime Gold) member and elite member in other programs I have my choice of the many fine hotels in this beautiful city. I typically stay at the Sheraton Wall Centre because it is familiar and comfortable for me. What's good- Location, location location! It is centrally located to great restaurants, movie theatres, good shopping and you can walk in all directions and find something interesting to see. Suites are spacious and the club floor lounge is really quite nice with a spectacular view. Little chocolates left by the cleaning staff are a nice and welcome touch. What needs improvement- improve the fitness facility by rearranging the weight rooms. Make one room all machines and the other free weights/stretching/yoga for example Change the toilets in this hotel. Almost every room in which I've stayed had toilets that required two or more flushes to completely empty. For a hotel that prominently asks patrons to reuse towels to conserve water, the toilets are a gigantic waste. There are no coffee shops in this hotel to grab a coffee/snack/breakfast. Sometimes I want to grab a post-workout meal but do not want to go to the restaurant. This is annoying for a hotel of this size. Overall, this is a good hotel for both families on vacation and business travellers. There are some blemishes but the good typically outweigh the bad. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mee33 Great guest service I would highly recommend Leah Hall for a raise. She was very pleasant and helpful. She recommended great restaurants and inquired about what type of food that we were interested in eating and price. The concierge service was also extremely attentive. We did not have a great experience at the bar. The bartender acted like he hated his job and couldn't wait to close the bar. He also poured very weak drinks. He acted bored and rather full of himself for a service job. The housekeeping department did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this hotel to all of my friends but suggest that they find another bar for an evening nightcap. September 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by REPete Location A great property for either business or shopping. Friendly willing staff and expectations consistent with the brand. September 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donald1 A Perfect Experience This is the best hotel experience I had during this 9 day trip in Canada.. A very late check-in was treated with understanding and efficiency; the view from my spacious room was beautiful. The Sheraton Club was welcoming and offered breakfast that included cereals, danish, bagels, muffins, fresh fruit, eggs, and in late afternoon offered smoked salmon, pasta, crab cakes, crudities, etc. etc. The food in the dining room was excellent - I like Sheratons and their Club floors but the Sheraton Wall in Vancouver exceeded even my expectations. September 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ubiquitous One Star is Generous Where to start? One receptionist on duty entire time I was there. No recognition of Platinum status. No offer to upgrade to "best available". No newspaper. No bottled water provided. Pathetic club lounge didn't even serve alcohol. I stay at Starwood routinely on four continents. This wasn't my first try at this property. But it was my last. September 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by luv2travel2005 Needs work toilet would not stop running. Was never fixed in 3 days. Would have to remove lid to fix. Curtains too short for full length of window. So much for sleeping in August 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DRGEE Very Noisy Stayed in a family suite and it was located right across from the Emergency Dept of a Hospital. Heard all the sirens during the night, so not a restful sleep. Also arrived for check in at 1520 with check in being available starting at 1500. Room was not ready and was told it would be a 30 min wait. After checking back in 30, 60, and 80 min we voiced our displeasure about the wait we got a room. I usually do not have an issue with waiting but if you tell me 30 min don't have me wait for 80 min and especially since we were traveling with 2 young kids (3 yr and 18 months). The staff did provide us with 1 free breakfast to make up for it. August 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kahuna45 A good choice in Vancouver The Sheraton Wall Centre is a great location for business, pleasure or sightseeing. Great restaurants within walking distance, modern facility, but the check-in and check-out was slow due to only one or two at reception. Lines became long at times and a 15-20 minute wait to adk simple questions. The Club room had a terrific view but the food quality for breakfast was average. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Waynecq nice gym I stay here at least once per year. It's in the downtown Vancouver core. Lots of nice restaurants. The staff is courteous and the rooms are very comfortable. Only issues was the sirens from emergency vehicles outside. I guess you can expect that from any downtown hotel. August 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by REPete Always Great Consistently great in all regards. August 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Carm64 Terrible customer service I made a reservation a month in advance, requesting a king size bed in a room in the North Tower. Check in took forever as there was only one clerk at the front desk. She proceeded to tell me that she had a room in the South Tower with a king bed but only a room with two double beds in the North tower - what's the point of making a reservation. The room was poorly laid out. Check out unacceptable. August 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by mwsea Good Hotel in an excellent location I was very pleased with this property. My only minor complaint is that the bathroom is fairly small for a newer property. Otherwise it was clean, the rest of the room was spacious, beds were comfortable, check-in was smooth and the staff was friendly. August 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by regret Needs Improvement! This hotel needs major updating. Additionally I am an SPG gold member for life. There was absolutely no recognition nor upgrading in any sense such as free internet access in the room nor use of the club. This was not my first time staying at the Wall Centre as I work a great deal in Vancouver.. There is a sign for SPG members to check in/out and yet since there was only one receptionist working at the desk at any one time in the three days we were there, everyone went into the SPG line making it a very long wait. I have stayed at hundreds of SPG hotels around the world. I will not stay at nor recommend the Wall Centre again. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Goofy FIREWORKS & A CLOUD NINE EXPERIENCE If ever I was speechless it was during my stay for the long weekend in August. What a magnificent experience to view the fireworks with my family and friends from my spacious balcony!. My stay was above and beyond what I could ever have expected. Beautiful spacious upgrade for an unforgettable weekend! Everything was absolutely perfect. August 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by D1010 Lack of Service Checked in on Friday and knew shortly that we would need another night. Go down to the front desk and ask if we can extend our stay and book another night. Told that they can't take care of the request and I would have to call the reservation line (???). I call the reservation line and I'm told that the reservation system is down until 7am and told to go the front desk. I call the front desk and they ask me to come down in the morning and not to worry they will find us a room. Come down to the front desk in the morning and am told the hotel is sold out. We end up moving to another hotel for the weekend. This to me is a very basic request and in fact all we wanted to do was extend our stay but they couldn't figure it out. August 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Wewebelong Hotel stay Was a horrible experience. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by phil4052 Club Intrawest Studio Suite Stay We were very pleasantly surprised and loved the floor to ceiling glass window. It made the views very special. The staff was always courteous and friendly. One suggestion: Please supply your guest rooms that have kitchenettes with paper towels. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chiarafe August Visit It was very convenient for me, I was invited to a family member wedding. The church & the reception were close to the hotel. All is good, rooms are big, clean, very nice staff. But no little fridge in the room, The breakfast buffet is on the expensive side (about $ 20)! August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by YoucancallmeAl Excellent Hotel in centre of Downtown Vancouver We were kindly allowed to check in fairly early to a very comfortable room for a family of 3 adults. Had a great view from North tower 21st Floor. Excellent facilities all round. Very friendly & helpful staff. Good central location in Downtown Vancouver. We really enjoyed our weekend stay completing our sightseeing of the city & beyond. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnR1 Relaxing place to stay My wife and son stayed at this property at the end of July and appreciated the staff responsiveness to our issues. One night our room air conditioning was not working well (wouldn't go below 70 degrees) and management worked to resolve the issue until we were comfortable. They checked with us each morning to make sure we had a good nights sleep. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daler1 Quality, Service, Value An oasis centrally located in the middle of downtown. The friendly staff went out of their way to make our first visit to Vancouver Quiet, Clean and Comfortable. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AquaDanceMom Perfect for my needs Our stay was absolutely perfect for our needs. We were able to get to all of our activities easily and quickly. The staff was more than willing to give us assistance whenever we needed it. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you for a great experience! August 11, 2014

JJ easily our MVP so far
We should just rely on our special teams to do all our scoring.
Because so far, they HAVE been doing all our scoring
Dumbass yinzers stole our Heap chant and don't even know the difference between their own fucking tight ends.
It seems like a defender misses a tackle almost every single opponent catch or carry.
ST has been amazing this year.
Great coverage again...special teams has picked up the slack from the defense.
Crappy tackling.
WTF Pittsburgh....thats not Heap.
get the fuck off the field
Our coverage unit is verging on historically good. Check out their PFF rankings.
tyson should take art jones's spot.
Kruger and JJ, if they keep this level up, could be locked up to some very hefty contracts.
3rd and 1... Lets go deep..... is Billick coaching the offense on the Pitt side?
Kruger is on a tear tonight...
Nice hold on Kruger there.
Kruger flying through again too
Amazing how much better Kruger is as a situational guy.

I'm a selectman candidate who is pro-Gilmanton & that is all
To The Daily Sun,
To Gilmanton voters:
My name is Jim Barnes and I want to be your next selectman.
I live in the Iron Works. After a 40-year career in the propane/oil business I retired in 2011 to become a full-time singer/songwriter and entertainer. I travel the state performing music in a variety of venues. It's a great living.
To run for selectman was a difficult decision. I have never done this before. I'll have a lot to learn if elected, but I'm confident that I am up to the task. With your help I can succeed.
If elected I would come to the job with no baggage. No political affiliation to speak of. Sure, I'm a registered Republican, but not a Republican activist. It's just the way I lean. I am not a member of any group or organization in town. I've kept a low profile in the 15 years that I've lived here, but it doesn't mean I'm oblivious to what goes on. I just don't have any bias to bring to the job. I'm not anti-this or pro-that.
What I am is pro-Gilmanton, and that is all. This is a great little town, and if I can do a little something to make it even better, then I will be glad to do so.
If you have questions, concerns or want to offer guidance, please call me at 364-5834. But, please, not at 7:30 in the evening, as I enjoy watching "Jeopardy." I welcome your input. After all, the selectman works for you, not the other way around.

Bristol deserves someone who'll use experience as foundation
To The Daily Sun,
It has been a cold and snowy winter and March brings welcomed thoughts of longer, warmer days. This year it also brings a town election that has spurred interest among Bristol residents. That also is welcomed. C'mon this is America, and we are lucky to have choices. One choice for Bristol residents is to decide the best candidates to fill two Selecboard seats.
I have carefully decided that my first vote for Selectboard will be cast for Rick Alpers. In my opinion, he has proven his ability to contribute a convincing and succinct analysis to others that share responsibility for making a collective, cohesive decision on behalf of the town. These decisions warrant deliberate, prudent consideration of the facts while incorporating the vision spelled out within the town's Master Plan. A balance that is necessary for the future economic climate in Bristol.
Increased costs are not unique to Bristol. They are escalating due to economic factors such as inflation. We each feel the inflation factor personally, as well. Change is inevitable to harness some of the increased costs the town has incurred, and Rick is an advocate of working with neighboring towns to share services regionally hoping to gain better control.
Rick also has demonstrated his ability to lead through influence and example. He believes in transparency and encourages all to share concerns, ideas and possible solutions. This attribute enables him to best understand all aspects of the situation at hand. From gathered information, he is able to present a consensus, compiled from the suggested ideas of all residents and taxpayers. While it may not be possible to please all in every situation, his suggestions are well thought-out, and presented with the intention that will benefit the greater good of the townspeople. He has no other agenda than to serve this town to the best of his ability. It is a continued display of his passion for local government.
Bristol deserves someone that will use experience as a foundation for improvement going forward. That candidate is Rick Alpers.
My second vote will be cast for Shaun Lagueux who was appointed when Jeff Shackett resigned due to the residency requirement. Shaun stepped in and has shown that he is knowledgeable in the workings of town government, has an open mind and is willing to help anyone, anyway he can. He has earned, and deserves my vote. Knowing that you will be voting on March 11, I ask that you consider both Rick and Shaun when casting your ballot.

Who is best to replace Ray Burton? He answered question himself
To The Daily Sun,
Ray Burton, the respected member of the Governor's Executive Council from District 1, had a long history of service to all residents of the district. Members of both sides of the aisle respected him and voted in great numbers to regularly re-elect him.
In the coming election for a person to replace Ray on the Executive Council, each of the candidates claims to embody Ray's attributes. Ray was dedicated to public service for each individual with a need. He considered each decision and with needs of the district, and voted what he thought was the right view regardless of external political preferences. After decades of such behavior, the overwhelming majority of the electorate came to respect and trust his judgment.
So who is best to replace him? Ray answered this question himself. When, in January of 2011 with a majority of Republicans on the Grafton County Commission, Ray declined to accept the nomination for chair and instead nominated Mike Cryans over the other Republican commissioner. Then again in 2012, Ray endorsed Mike for his seat on the commission over a Republican challenger. Two important opportunities to select a person from his party, and Ray personally chose Mike Cryans.
No one can fill Ray's shoes, but Mike Cryans embodies Ray's attributes of dedication to public service, thoughtful consideration of issues and respect for others who may not share his views.
Ray never tried to demonize his opponents and neither will Mike Cryans. Vote for Mike Cryans for Executive Councilor on March 11.

Encouragement of dissent & originality important aspects of college
To The Daily Sun,
"Conservatives usually oppose change and thrive on tradition. Conservatives tend to take a basically pessimistic view of human nature. People are conceived of as being corrupt, self-centered, lazy and incapable of true charity." So sayeth a "truth turned on its head, 180 degrees backward" take on folks of a conservative bent. This fallacious assumption is included in a new "required reading" social work and social welfare textbook for some students at the University of South Carolina.
Michael Schaus notes in his Feb. 20 Townhall.com column, "What is a leftist supposed to do when history doesn't perfectly fit their ideological narrative? You just write your own version of historical events. And while you're at it throw in a few editorial comments cleverly disguised as facts."
The section of the book which discussed conservative extremes in the 1980s and early 1990s has a fantastic take on Ronald Reagan. Seems that Reagan "ascribed to women primarily domestic functions" and "failed to appoint many women to significant positions of power during his presidency." Apparently, erased from history is the "fact" that Reagan appointed nearly 1,400 women to positions of power including Sandra Day O'Connor (first female supreme court justice) and Jeane Kirkpatrick(first U.S. female representative appointed to the United Nations).
Within a few short generations, liberal, progressive thought has transformed "traditional schools of education" into dumbed down re-education camps. Indoctrinated with "enlightened critical thinking" headed by academic elitists. Those would be the ones who have transformed Orwell's, "1984" from some far-fetched fiction into a sad reality of our corrupt educational system steeped in moral relativism and focused on revisionist history.
Anna Chapman, a South Carolina U. student had the guts to speak up about her displeasure over the blatant bias of this textbook and good for her. Jeff Stensland, directer of News and Internal Communications at the college says the school promotes academic freedom and that students are encouraged to raise questions. Good luck with that as few will dare to try. Fear of poor grades and a lack of a good recommendation looms like Darth Vadar with a class syllabus and a poison pen. In fact, Robert Shibley, senior vice president of FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) notes that students are taking a big risk by speaking out and are increasingly censoring themselves.
Several months ago at Michigan State U. a college professor went on a tirade by telling his class that "Republicans have raped the country." A professor at a west coast college attacked the wealthy for keeping the poor down. That professor was not interested in hearing a different point of view.
How many remember when Harvard read the emails of 16 resident deans to find out who was leaking information about cheating scandals. At Brown U. last year, New York city police commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted out of the auditorium by hecklers because he had come to speak about and take questions regarding his city's "stop and frisk" policy. Brown also pulled out John Stossel's mike cord when he tried to give a speech there.
While colleges and universities become increasingly infested with progressives and socialists including Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Cornel West and the newly welcomed Van Jones at Columbia, conservative speakers are often banned from even giving speeches, much less a professorship. So much for the heralded "equality" and "diversity" standards of the liberal, academic elitists who "talk the talk", but run rather than just walk away from "walking the walk."
How do we correct the decline of academic integrity in our country's universities while there is still time? As Bob Meade and Tony Boutin have articulated so well, changing the entire structure of tenure lies at the core of this problem. Naomi Schaefer Riley's book, "The Faculty Lounges" brilliantly illustrates why tenure should be abolished, according to Chester E. Finn Jr., senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
The corrupt, incestuous relationship between our government and universities by subsidizing tuition costs using taxpayer money has to be reversed. Securing the blessings of liberty as written into our Constitution, including unfettered free expression of diverse points of view, must once again be a touchstone of campus learning. No longer can professors be allowed to teach/indoctrinate students that some views are so abhorrent they should not even be heard. Tolerance and yes encouragement for dissent and originality must continue to be an important aspect of the college experience.

Passing Articles 44 & 45 won't save the Town of Alton any money
To The Daily Sun,
I was unable to attend the deliberative session on Feb. 6 in Alton. I am writing this letter to voice my support for the existing Town Planner and Town Assessor positions.
Article 43 calls for the elimination of the position of the town planner and Article 44, to eliminate the position of the town assessor. Please vote down these articles.
As it was discovered at the deliberative session, the estimated costs of contracting out both of these positions are much higher than what either one of these individuals are currently receiving in salary and benefits. If contracted out, who will oversee these services? Will they be distracted from their current job, potentially contributing to a larger problem of ineffective management?
Beyond the money issue, we need people in these positions who are familiar with our town and are available to our citizens on a full-time basis. I am a small-business owner who has dealt with both the Planning Department and the Assessing Department. We need to maintain these professionals on a local level. This move will not save us money, and will cost us in timely, committed service. Vote "no" on Articles 43 and 44.

Using miles
For the first time ever I have nearly enough miles to get me to Europe and back! While I would love to celebrate this fact, it seems like it can be more of a hassle than anything else. I only have enough miles for "off season" travel, on specific days of the week, barring any black out dates, etc., etc. what I am finding is that it's nearly impossible to find dates that will work, and most of the itineraries are fairly obnoxious. However, after much research I have found these potential travel dates that will work for me: Fly into Dublin April 16 (only feasible option) Fly home from Milan May 6, London April 29 or May 5, or Madrid May 1 or 6-8. My previous travel in Europe has been a bit of England, Paris, and Italy. Given the time frame involved and prior travel, if you had these choices would you opt for: Ireland, Scotland, and England. Ireland, France, and Spain. Ireland, France, and a bit of northern Italy.
Oh, and this is likely to be a solo trip. And yes I understand that with approx. 3 weeks all of these itineraries are likely to be a little rushed.

Big Dog Beagle II Hang-on Fixed Tree Stand BDF-076
Product Review (submitted on August 6, 2013):
I picked up two of these stands and bought them for mobility and to hang with climbing sticks.It took a little while to put together but i prefer installing the bolts and examining the welds my self.One feature i really liked was the large grating on the platform. The nuetral ''gray'' and the secondary strap at the bottom for safety.
I wish all stands came with a strap that can go on either side ..this stand does NOT so igive it 3 stars .will work for this ''Bow only'' hunter.

Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
No matter what level of thrills you seek, Kings Island amusement park delivers -- at a price.
Entering Kings Island is sure to make you feel like a kid again. (Well, after you empty your wallet at the admission gate, anyway.) If you have younger kids, you'll mostly likely head to Planet Snoopy -- formerly known as Nickelodeon Universe. The 15 rides are great, with some coasters thrilling enough for adults. We thought changing to the Peanuts theme was a mistake, though; most of the kids we saw on our visit showed very little interest in the nostalgic characters. And you'll also want to check out Dinosaurs Alive!, a very cool separate-admission area that opened in 2011 with animatronic dinos that move and roar when visitors trip off the sensors. The blue soft-serve ice cream sold at Kings Island is always a hit, as is a ride on the log flume. (Placing your heaviest passenger in the front is a sure way to get soaked.) Planet Snoopy's long daytime lines disappear after 8 p.m., so it's a nice place to end the night before the 10 p.m. fireworks. Adult and big-kid thrill seekers love The Beast, at 7,400 feet it's said to be the longest wooden roller coaster in the world. The more recently added Diamondback is said to be the tallest steel coaster, measuring 230 feet and hitting 80 mph. Many kids and adult medium-thrill seekers also enjoy the classic, midway-style rides like the Scrambler and the Monster. The water park, Boomerang Bay, offers 15 acres of cooling amusements for no extra fee. Bring plenty of extra money for pricey locker rentals and concession food. A family of four can easily spend more than $40 just on a pizza dinner. Ticket prices vary, but there's a discount for advanced purchases online. Open from April to October.

"One hypothesis for this is because boys tend to have more acting out behavioral problems than girls do, and thus draw more attention in the assessment process," Harris said.
She also noted that the study was limited because it looked at one city with a largely white, middle-class population.
Katusic said that tutoring can help children learn how to write but that adults need to realize that writing is just as important as reading and math skills.
Michael Siegal, a learning disorder specialist, said that more research needs to be done to place written-language disorder in the large picture of learning disabilities, such as dyslexia.
More awareness of the condition "might focus the attention of parents and teachers on underlying language disorders that have to do with recognizing patterns in how words are spelled and how these are articulated in speech to improve written composition and punctuation," said Siegal, a psychology professor at the University of Trieste in Italy.
