Social media breakfast set for Feb. 18Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
A panel of local print, TV and news blog media will discuss the social media tools and strategy they use to deliver news at a social media breakfast Feb. 18.
The free event, titled "Social Media and the Media," is set for 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy, 3034 Wilford Dr. Breakfast will be provided.
Panelists will be Rebecca Regnier of 13abc, Michael S. Miller of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star, Lisa Renee Ward of the blog Glass City Jungle, and Jason Mack of the University of Toledo's Independent Collegian.
Panelists will share how traditional media has adapted to social media, including how the audience is listening, participating and paying for social media.
Ward, who has been blogging with a focus on politics since 2004, said she is looking forward to sharing tips on how she manages social media for her main blog, Glass City Jungle, as well as for Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star, where she is web editor.
"There are some great tools out there, some of which are free, which can help individuals and businesses manage their social media, especially when it comes to Twitter," Ward said in an e-mail. "Options for Facebook as far as scheduling updates for pages are not quite as advanced, but it is much easier now than before to schedule tweets to help create a Web presence. It's all about developing a readership and to do that you have to provide regular content."
Ward also writes a weekly column for Toledo Free Press focusing on transparency in government, operates six smaller blogs and has served as a contributor on the national political site WatchBlog.
Miller is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. He has worked for newspapers in Washington, D.C.; Pittsburgh.; San Jose, Calif.; and Miami, Fla., and been recognized with more than 75 industry awards. Toledo Free Press is Lucas County's largest-circulated newspaper and has been named Best Weekly Newspaper in Ohio for 2009 and 2010 by the Ohio Society for Professional Journalists.
Rebecca Regnier of 13abc has worked in media for 20 years, beginning as a sideline reporter for ESPN while in college. She's worked at WTVG since 1996, first as a reporter, then an anchor and now with the network's "People, Places and Things" segment. Regnier was one of the first Toledo media professionals on Twitter. She also operates a diet humor blog called Does This Blog Make Us Look Fat? and writes a weekly humor column for the Monroe Evening News.
Mack is a senior communications major at UT, where he was recently named editor in chief of the Independent Collegian. He has worked at the paper for four years, most recently as managing editor, and will also lead the paper's digital components, including website, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channel.
Social Media Breakfasts are held in 40 cities around the world to bring people at all levels of social media knowledge together for education and face-to-face networking. Social Media Breakfast Toledo started in 2009.

Cake Beauty Strawberry Shortcake Decadent Hand Creme Review
I just took the 80's test and I'm a little uncomfortable with how many of these things I remember:
You Know You Grew Up In the 80's if (Bold black for the things I remembered, italics for the things I REALLY loved about the 80's):
- You've ever ended a sentence with the word SIKE.
- You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton.
- You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey on Blossom.
- If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock".
- It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
- You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.
- You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

Heck, they did leave out some important things about the 80's, like how about Thunder Cats, Rainbow Brite, Sweet Secrets, Glow Worm, Rose Petals, My Little Pony, and most important, Strawberry Shortcake!
I can't really recall exactly how old I was when Strawberry Shortcake entered my life but I'm pretty sure I was in doll land bliss. Seriously..she was a doll that smelled like strawberries, what wasn't to love here? It was the innovation of the 1980's and every little girl was foaming at the mouth to own such a doll!
Cake Beauty celebrates Strawberry Shortcake's 30th Birthday and celebrates in style with a Canadian beauty release that includes decadently scented products that will bring back the 80's for every girl who's in their 30's!

The Lomography 677 is a 24 exposure cartridge of Orca 110 Pocket B&W Negative Film. The ISO rating of 100 is relatively slow but it is still good for general purpose photography and also effective when shooting with flash. Interesting results and some creative depth of field images can be achieved with this film.
Orca is designed without backing paper and does not have a built in frame counter that shows you what number shot you're up to so you'll have to keep track of each shot you take. This is a fun film for your classic 110 camera.

'Real World' Season 22 Will Surely Bring Good PR to ME Cancun
Where: Boulevard Kukulkan, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico
April 14, 2009 at 2:56 PM | by Jenna | Comment (1)
ME Cancún, a Sol Mélia resort, is a hotel that is sort of ... well, meh (or shall we say, "MEh"). As we discovered last year, there are plenty of good things about the resort as we said, pretty people, pretty views, and pretty nice furniture but there isn't really anything distinguishing it from the properties around it in Cancun.
However. Unbeknownst to us until recently, the 22nd season of MTV's The Real World is already wrapping up filming in sweet, sweet Mexico (thanks, Jaunted!) and guess where the 7-ish strangers picked to live in a house will be living? The ME Cancun. Oh yes.

Sliding through the competition
The Pigeon Forge Tigers are one win away from playing for a state championship.
The Orange and Black (37-2) continued their assault on the Class AA tournament at the TSSAA BlueCross Spring Fling Wednesday afternoon with a 9-2 thumping of Murfreesboro Central (25-16).
Pigeon Forge starting pitcher Colt Buchanan, a senior lefty that's signed with Milligan College, had a sterling effort on the bump for the Tigers, giving up just three hits and no runs over five innings.
"It was a huge game for Colt, and Colt did exactly what we needed him to do," PF coach MIke Guinn said. "He's been our No. 2 (pitcher in the rotation) all year long, and he was slated to go in this game a long time ago, and he came out and did exactly what we needed him to do.
"He pitched great, he had command of the strike zone, he had command of three pitches and got better as the game went on. His velocity improved, his movement improved and his location improved," Guinn said. "And as he moved along we thought we might have the opportunity — if we got our bats going — to get him out of there and hold him a little bit. Obviously we're going to need him a little bit on down the line."
Buchanan left the game with a comfortable 8-0 lead, and though his bullpen battled some control issues and allowed two late runs, earned the win on the mound.
"It felt great (to get the win)," Buchanan said after the game. "Having the experience (pitching at state) last year really helped this year. It took a lot off my shoulders. I just wanted to come out this game and come out big."
And, when your team hits the way the Tigers do, it can make things even better for a pitcher.
"It helps settle you in when your team starts adding runs on for you," Buchanan said. "It just takes that pressure of holding (the opposition) down."
The Tigers continued the torrid offensive pace they've had the last few weeks, as another monster inning blew a game wide open.
Pigeon Forge led 1-0 in the fifth inning when they exploded for six runs when they strung together five hits and a pair of walks against Murfreesboro Central starter Alex Ropp and reliever Alex Sherrod.
Max McCoig got things started with a leadoff single, which was followed by another single from teammate Chase Effler.
Jake Griffin's single to right-center field followed, scoring McCoig.
After a Scott LaFollette sacrifice bunt and an intentional walk to Wil Crowe, catcher Ben Breazeale was patient at the plate and drew another base on balls to up the Tigers' lead to 3-0.
Moments later senior Drake Byrd smoked a bases-clearning double down the left field line, and the Tigers led 6-0.
"He hit the ball hard all three times," Guinn said of Byrd, who was 1-for-3. "And it paid off on that last one with a three-run double. That was huge for us."
Before making the final out of the frame, junior Koleman Roach drilled an RBI double — his second of the game — off the wall to put the Tigers ahead 7-0.
"Koleman was huge," Guinn said. "(He was) 2-for-4 with two big RBIs, and hit two balls off the wall. It was a super job by him."
An RBI double for Crowe an inning later increased the Pigeon Forge lead, and coach Guinn then decided to go to the bullpen to save Buchanan's arm for later use in the tournament. He'd thrown just 70 pitches when was pulled.
PF relievers Roach and Byrd had some struggles in the final two innings, giving up a pair of runs to Central, but a final run on a Roach fielder's choice in the seventh kept the Tigers' lead comfortable.
"I wasn't real pleased that we weren't finishing like we needed to, but I wasn't worried," Guinn said of the relivers' late issues. "I haven't thrown those guys a lot, so it's kind of asking a lot of them to (pitch in the state tournament). But I felt like they could get it done."
Guinn also gave kudos to several other PF hitters.
"Chase Effler, again, just keeps hitting. He was 2-for-3 again, swinging the bat well, and Max McCoig's swinging the bat well. We've got a lot of guys just swinging it good right now."
Pigeon Forge will play Dyersburg today at 2 p.m. for a spot in the AA championship game. Since Dyersburg is coming from the loser's bracket, they would have to beat the Tigers twice to move past PF to the title game.
Defending state champion Goodpasture, who's been cleaning things up on the other side of the bracket, seems to be the likely opponent should the Tigers survive today. It was the Cougars that sent the Tigers home from last year's tournament in the semifinals. Goodpasture won the teams' opening game 6-2 and then beat the Tigers again in the semis 3-0.

Issue No. 437
|Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875
From myths to missilesIs it possible to comprehend the tragedy that is Yugoslavia? From Bosnia to Kosovo, history is everywhere: the dead bury the dead, and the living rise again on the ashes of legends. Ottomans and Byzantines, great powers and petty rulers, East and West have locked horns here, irrevocably, time and again. And the Drina runs through it all... Who can find the thread that leads back through this labyrinth, to the beginning? Was Tito on the right track? Are the embers fated to reignite time and again? And where is the bridge that leads to the other side? Mohamed Hassanein Heikal meets bards and conquerors, lords and tyrants, adventurers and diplomats -- and watches as history exacts its revenge
"Some people say that I am the first Yugoslav in history... Others say that I might be the last"
I. The lord who lost his way
At 3.00pm, I was heading up the five steps to 20 Queen Anne's Gate, where I had arranged for a meeting of indefinite length with Lord David Owen. After serving many years as British foreign secretary, Lord Owen left the government to create Great Britain's third major political party. Emerging from the folds of Labour's mantle, the new party was to keep pace with the new times under the banner of Social Democracy. It did not achieve its purpose, however: to create "a broad assembly of the centre" and thus fill in the widening gap between Labour and the Tories. Despite the growing distance separating Great Britain's two major political parties, they are still considered products of the climate of social polarisation that followed World War II.
Three knights from the Labour Party were to champion the cause of the centre: Roy Jenkins, Barbara Castle and David Owen. When their hopes were dashed, each went his or her own way: Jenkins to become an EU commissioner and Castle to retire from public life. Owen, however, could not bring himself to leave the political arena. For some time, he continued to circle in the air, a lone eagle, unable to find a tree large enough for him to nest on or a cliff commodious enough to perch on. On occasion, Margaret Thatcher considered luring him into her government, in spite of his "Labour record", as she was wont to say. The idea somehow always went astray, and Owen remained air-bound with no place to land. Many could see his skills and talents, but did not know how to handle them -- or, more accurately, use them. David Owen had managed to shape himself into a special kind of personality in British politics, combining youthfulness (relative), vitality (boundless), and an ability to fathom problems and address them with firmness (bordering on the autocratic on occasion).
Then came the day when former Prime Minister John Major agreed to the suggestion put forward by the celebrated Conservative leader (and former minister of foreign affairs) Lord Peter Carrington to nominate Lord Owen as the EU's representative in the attempts to resolve the crisis that had flared up in the Balkans. With the fragmentation of the former Yugoslavia, the spectre of a full-scale war floated over Europe. With every passing day, it appeared that civil wars within the various Yugoslavian republics could develop into national and ethnic wars between some of these republics and others, and that these wars in turn could escalate into regional warfare, drawing in countries bordering what had once been a single nation called Yugoslavia.
The EU approved Owen's nomination, and Owen joined his former colleague Cyrus Vance, US secretary of state under Carter, the UN representative in Yugoslavia. Owen and Vance -- two of the most capable diplomats in the western world -- set off to experiment in the Balkans. They were not alone. They had others with them, serving in various capacities: among others Robert Dole, US senator and one time presidential candidate; Thorvald Stoltenberg, former Swedish foreign minister; and Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general.
When all efforts failed to contain an extremely dangerous situation (Yugoslavia) in a highly explosive area (the Balkans), the entire team of veteran politicians abandoned the field, leaving it to combatants of all types and breeds -- from Milosevic to Karadic, Madeleine Albright to Robin Cook, the NATO generals to the resistance leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Blood began to flow in torrents, mingling with the ashen residue of fire; from afar, it seemed that an enormous blot of misery stained the map of southeastern Europe.
David Owen recoiled, as did others, before this scene of horror. Owen decided to return to his office in this beautiful spot in the heart of the British capital, with St James Park stretching out before him, the idyllic walkway leading to the eastern bank of the Thames nearby, the buildings of Westminster a stone's throw from his back windows, and the chimes of Big Ben pealing faintly in the distance, a constant reminder that time goes on before and after crises, before and after people are born and die, before and after all ambitions are realised or lost.
I rang the bell. Maggie Smart, Lord Owen's secretary, opened the door for me. As I stepped into the reception room, Lord Owen came out to greet me. He showed me into his office. Near his desk, in front of the fireplace, was a small sitting area, with two comfortable chairs facing each other across a low table. This last was set with a pot of coffee, two cups and a small plate of biscuits.
As we sat down, Owen said, "Debbie [his American wife] didn't know you were in London. She's suggested that we meet for lunch or dinner, away from the troubles of Yugoslavia, before you leave."
He then asked: "Where are you going after here?"
I replied: "A quick tour around Europe and then back to Cairo."
Neither of us had prepared a way to broach the topic of our meeting, but our conversation had led there naturally.
Owen said, "I wanted to know how Cairo feels about what is happening in Yugoslavia." Then he caught himself and, perhaps in order to avoid embarrassment, he said, "Let me rephrase that. How does the Arab world feel about what is happening in Yugoslavia?"
He continued, "At one time the Arabs had a special relationship with Yugoslavia, as well as with India, is that not so? Throughout the period in which I was closely involved with the Balkan crisis, I wasn't able to gauge your reactions. But it occurred to me frequently that your relationship with Yugoslavia was strong. I know that the height of the non-aligned movement which was spearheaded by Tito, Abdel-Nasser and Nehru in the '50s and '60s has passed, but I would have thought that the proximity of the Balkans to the Middle East theatre would have compelled you to become more closely and actively involved in the crisis... It surprised me that I could find no one to support what I thought, so I cannot say anything for certain. But I would like to hear what you have to say. What is the degree of interest in the Arab world about what is happening directly above your heads in the Balkans?"
Taking my first turn in what turned out to be a three-hour conversation I said: "I, like you, am not certain. To me it does not seem that the Balkan crisis -- or crises -- attracted much concern among the Arab governments. If they do have a place for it on their agenda, I think it is at the end or somewhere towards the end. As for the Arab people, I think that there is an element of interest, but one in which there are degrees of mixed feelings, due to religious, humanitarian and perhaps, though to a lesser extent, historical considerations."
I went on to add: "To be fair to everyone in the Arab world, however, governments and peoples alike, the problem of Yugoslavia, or what is left of Yugoslavia, and the events in and around the Balkans are more like an insoluble riddle. Solving it requires a lot of effort and even greater patience: everyone has preferred to give their minds and nerves a rest. Instead, they have followed, to some extent, the flood of news, most of it coming from Western sources, American sources in particular, and they have become emotionally engrossed in the endless footage, mostly, if not entirely, directly from the cameras to the television screens. Again, the cameras were Western, and especially American."
I did not want these preludes to go on too long, so I said: "In any case, none of us were there. But you were. You saw it for yourself and were personally involved in the crisis. You stood at the mouth of the volcano and could feel the intensity of its flames."

David Owen poured the coffee and walked over to place a cup near me. The activity gave him time to collect his thoughts and choose an appropriate starting point. He returned to his seat and clasped his hands, cupping his chin. Then he started to speak in a low voice.
"I had never imagined that the crisis was quite so complicated when I accepted to become involved. That is to say, I knew it was complicated but, like any dilemma, I thought you would be able to see light at the end of the tunnel. I took part in looking for some light. I did not succeed. Nor did anyone else. At the end, or towards the end, we were no longer looking for a just settlement; we were looking for any settlement at all. We had all come to realise that that "just" was impossible, because there was no law -- or rather, if there was a law, it was written in blood."
Owen paused for a moment and then asked me: "Do you follow what I'm saying? I don't want to inundate you with obscure descriptions, but simple words cannot express the intricacies of the crisis. I had imagined that I knew Yugoslavia from an unforgettable experience there when I was younger, as well as from many other experiences, particularly when I was in the Foreign Office."
The Yugoslavian experience to which Owen referred in his youth occurred when he embarked on that "go out and see the world" trip that is virtually compulsory for students at the major British universities. David Owen plumped for Yugoslavia on bicycle. His companion on this trip was his old friend Peter Jay. It was Jay who introduced Owen to his father-in-law, former Prime Minister Jim Callahan, who was impressed by Owen and chose him as his foreign minister. At the same time, Jay, who was married to Callahan's daughter, Margaret, was appointed British ambassador to the US. Ironically, it would be Owen, as foreign minister, who advised transferring Jay from Washington because his wife had fallen in love with a reporter for the Washington Post, left the couple's home (the British Embassy in Washington at the time) and vanished for months. At the same time, because his wife had deserted him, according to his story, Ambassador Jay fell in love with his children's nanny (he had three children: two boys and a girl), producing an illegitimate daughter. Margaret, now the Baroness Jay of Paddington, is the Minister of Social Affairs in Tony Blair's government. Her husband, Peter Jay, has vanished from public life. Apparently, he has become an alcoholic and an embittered recluse, having isolated himself from all his friends and colleagues, including his teenage companion on the bicycle trip to Yugoslavia, David Owen.
David Owen was still speaking in low, confidential tones, about a subsequent experience in Yugoslavia -- a political one this time. Then he said abruptly: "You mentioned that Great Britain was drawn into World War I because of the conflicts in the Balkans. We entered the war following the assassination of the crown prince of Austria in Sarajevo in the course of the conflict between the Serbian kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When the crown prince was assassinated, Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia entered to support Serbia and Germany moved in to back Austria. Meanwhile, we (Great Britain and France) entered the war on the side of Serbia and Russia. The Foreign Office has, I believe, the most complete archives on the Balkans. However, I discovered that the more I read about Yugoslavia, the less I knew; that whatever I learned was not sufficient by a long shot!"
Owen's voice began to grow louder and more impassioned as he moved toward the heart of the subject. He still used the diplomatic turns of speech that he had honed from years of practice, but the tone of his voice carried the conviction of a man having lived through a crisis that had a powerful impact on him, even if he had left no impact on the crisis.
He said, "I could see the surprise on your face when I said that we -- Cyrus Vance and myself -- finally reached the conclusion that the only possibility open to us was not to reach a just settlement, but just a settlement. The major features of the picture we found when we were assigned (by the EU and the UN) to Yugoslavia were deep and diverse.
"Yugoslavia, as you know -- though I do not want to delay you with too much detail -- had a complex demographic composition. It was a state encompassed by, or surrounded by, a semi-iron grid. Some Yugoslavians -- among whom was your friend Tito -- imagined that they could, through the experience of prolonged coexistence, grant everyone the opportunity to assimilate under the notion of a single nation, served by all to the extent that the nation served all. The breakup of Yugoslavia was always a spectre looming in the air of eastern Europe. Many sought to eliminate that possibility for fear that the disintegration of Yugoslavia would precipitate the disintegration of other nations with similarly diverse ethnic, religious and cultural elements, bound together by single political or international boundaries. For example, Gorbachev, when he was president, said that he was terrified of what might happen to Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia itself was not his nightmare. It was the effect Yugoslavia could have on the Soviet Union that kept him awake at night. It so happened that the Soviet Union broke up first, at which point the breakup of Yugoslavia was only a matter of time -- in fact, a matter of days, which is exactly what happened.
"The breakdown of Yugoslavia, as you have observed, brought on successive exchanges of fire. The Serbs fought against the Slovenians and Croats in a battle for national independence. Then there was the battle in Bosnia-Herzegovina between the central government in Belgrade and the local government in Sarajevo. That was a battle over sovereignty. After that, another battle erupted between the Serbs of Bosnia and the Muslims of Bosnia. That was a religious war, because the Bosnian Muslims are Slavs, just like the Serbs. Finally, even as we clutched our hearts in fear, the fighting spread to Kosovo. Kosovo was not only a cauldron for a combination of religious, ethnic and nationalist factors; geographically it is a major avenue into the heart of Yugoslavia.
"As this chain-reaction of wars played itself out, one aspect increasingly began to overwhelm all others. In most crises in the saga of human turmoil, the appeal to history played an important part in political claims, in sparking and setting the course of human conflict. In other words, history is one of the backdrops to any crisis. In Yugoslavia, however, we found that history was centre-stage. In this intricate situation, history was not what happened in the past. Rather, history, in its very essence, was the present we encountered. In such a case, the negotiating process towards a settlement can find no starting point.
"As you know, in negotiations every interested party, including the mediator, seeks to clarify a 'negotiating concept'. If a crisis has no beginning or end, no past followed by a present, any negotiating concept will inevitably be distorted. Here, the negotiator attempts to construct a negotiating vision on his own authority, in the hope that it is the most appropriate. However, such 'hopes' are insufficient if we are expected to negotiate, before all else, with history itself. To negotiate with history is to negotiate with the dead, with the grave, with the wars and debacles that arose and intertwined before our time. Then we discover that history itself is invoked to battle in the present. Perhaps you have had the opportunity to hear the harangues of politicians such as Karadic or Milosevic, not to mention the generals who have been suddenly transformed into legendary knights, epic bards and the bearers of symbols and tokens of every sort.
"In all of this, there was a truth which no one could refute, unless through some fatal error in calculation. This was that the Serbian army -- formerly the Yugoslavian army -- was the strongest force on the ground in the country. It was an army that suddenly lost the borders of the nation it had known and served. It woke up one morning to find that national security was inside the country, not at the borders, that the army did not know whether it was its duty to protect or to attack the elements that posed the greatest threat. As a result, in order to ensure the loyalty of the army and a certain coherence in its centre, it had to be politically mobilised as never before. That is a frightening psychological state for an army that has the greatest firing power on the ground. Add to all of this the intercession of Yugoslavia's neighbours, then the demands of the major international powers, whether directly or indirectly."
David Owen paused briefly. He reached for his coffee and discovered that it had gone cold before it reached his lips. He went to a nearby bathroom to empty out the cold coffee, and refilled his cup. Then he resumed:
"You know that every display of force is preparatory to negotiations, and that the extent of the use of force is the point at which negotiations start. In Yugoslavia, there was no clear relationship between the use of force and negotiations, because force was in a state of fluidity, transforming lines into patches, and sometimes even dots, on the map.
"You know, for example, that every negotiating process requires parties who have the legitimacy to conduct negotiations in order for them to be binding. There is a quandary, however, when you are negotiating with history itself and its weapon is the present, when you are negotiating with ancient legends now being used as the currency for contemporary politics. In these circumstances, no international mediator could find an official human party who had the legitimacy to negotiate and who would assume his responsibility at the negotiating table and afterwards.
"You know, too, that negotiations start from the facts on the ground, and not necessarily from the principles of law. But if the reality is what all of us saw in Yugoslavia, where do we begin? No one in those circumstances could pinpoint or even vaguely conceive the facts on the ground. There were no facts capable of imposing themselves. There was no reality that could make itself recognised by others."
Suddenly, though one could follow his stream of thought, Owen said: "Do you know that, as I got to know Yugoslavia better, my admiration for Tito grew? I have never met him, but you got to know him well. He must have been an imposing figure." He paused briefly and then added, "I forgot to tell you that I read your interview with him in the Sunday Times. That, as far as I know, was the last interview Tito held in his lifetime."
I said: "That is true. That interview with the legendary leader who made Yugoslavia into a notable power in his time was published only a few months before he died, and had a broad impact. Looking back on it, it seems like a prophecy of the oracle of Delphi, whose eyes could perceive the future."

Can there be anyone on the planet not avidly devouring Downton Abbey episode by episode? Is there a single human being who doesn't adore Maggie Smith as Violet, the Dowager Countess? Julian Fellowes has, after all, given her most of the good lines.
In the episode I watched Monday night, she addressed one of those lines to the somberly grieving Lady Mary whose husband was killed in a car crash six months prior. "She said "You have before you a clear choice, my dear. You can either choose death or life."
If asked that question, how would you answer? "LIFE – naturally," I hear you say. Yes, of course. But what manner of LIVING do you actually choose now — day by day?
So you've made your New Year resolutions. But have you assessed how well you LIVED in 2013? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
What did I do last year that I am most proud of?
What difference did I make simply by being alive?
What victim story did I let go of to lighten my load?
Who did I forgive? Did I really?
Who did I make amends with?
What life lessons did I learn in 2013?
Was I living as a spiritually awakened person or asleep?
Was I focused on my purpose or totally distracted?
Was I mostly living in the past or envisioning my future?
Were I contracting in love or expanding in love?
Let's look at that last one. What the heck is the difference between contracting in love and expanding in Love?
A relationship built on the shifting sands of unrealistic expectations, unreasonable demands, dominance of one over the other, neediness and co-dependence will, once the early passion dies, begin to contract.
Over time it will turn into indifference at best or, hatred at worst. It was an inferior kind of love in the first place. And all too common.
The kind of relationship that will expand in love is one that is built on mutual respect, equality, freedom, mutual support, honesty, openness and sharing. It is also one where each partner has well established boundaries and a set of values that are known and respected by the other. They need not necessarily be the same, but they each must have them be honored.
It is the kind of relationship where differences in all spheres of life are understood and made allowance for, not the least of which is the kind of sexual personality each person has, to which the other needs to accommodate if sex is not to become the reason why the love begins to contract. They are seldom the same so it requires knowing the different kinds and how the opposites initially attract and then later repel.
In my upcoming workshop entitled Expanding In Love, (March 14th -16th in Atlanta, Georgia and April 12th -13th in Truckee, California), you will learn how to assess your current and past relationships in these terms and more.
Then, once you have this all this put together, cleaned up your past and established your boundaries, you will be given the keys to how you negotiate for what you want.
This empowers you to decide whether you want to stay in the relationship or not, depending on how those negotiations go.
If you are not currently in a relationship, you will learn how to create one that rocks.
So it comes back to the original question. Will you choose life or death?
Do you choose to contract in love or expand in love?
Are you ready to supercharge what you have or create a new one?
It's your choice. Life or death? It's that simple.

By Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service
BRUSSELS, June 5, 2013 NATO defense ministerial meetings yesterday and today helped to cement the alliance's commitment to a "train, advise and assist" mission that will begin after the International Security Assistance Force disbands at the end of 2014, NATO's senior civilian leader said today.
"The end of 2014 will mark the end of our combat mission, but also a new beginning for Afghanistan," Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said during a news conference at the end of the ministerial gathering. "The Afghan people will be fully responsible for their country's freedom, their country's fate, and their country's future."
But they will not stand alone, he added. NATO has committed to a new mission called "Resolute Support." It will not be ISAF by another name, Rasmussen emphasized. "It will be different and significantly smaller. Its aim will be to train, advise and assist the Afghan forces, not substitute for them," he said.
NATO's presence for that mission will center in the geographic corners of the country – east, west, north and south – and in the capital of Kabul, he said.
Rasmussen said over the last 11 years, NATO's ISAF mission has given the Afghan government and people space to build their future. "With this new mission, we will continue to support them," he added. "But ultimately, it is for the Afghans to determine their own future. That is what security transition is all about."
While NATO has not yet assigned troop numbers for Resolute Support, he said, many member nations have expressed interest in contributing. Rasmussen added he is confident NATO will get enough contributions to ensure the Resolute Support mission will be fully manned.
The secretary general noted today's program also included a meeting of the NATO-Georgia commission. Georgia, which aspires to join the alliance, is a committed partner and the largest non-NATO contributor to ISAF, he said.
Georgia has demonstrated impressive commitment to the alliance even as it pursues its own far-reaching defense reforms, Rasmussen said.
"Today, ministers expressed their appreciation for all Georgia has done to support our common goals," he said. "They reaffirmed NATO's continued support for Gerogia's territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders. And they made clear that they are ready to support and assist Georgia as it moves ahead with its reforms."

Apple gives tentative thumbs up to Google Voice app.
Google Voice, the controversial VoIP app which Apple blocked in 2009 for breaching App Store guidelines, could be making a return according to a developer behind a third party version of the add-on.
Sean Kovacs, who built GV Mobile, an app which uses Google Voice to make calls over the web, says he has spoken to Apple and that they will consider allowing his creation back onto the best-selling blower.
Related links:

- Google Voice heading your way
In a tweet, Kovacs said, "Good news: I did get confirmation back from Apple that it will most likely get back in once I resubmit." This comes just a day after Apple relaxed its stance on third party software being used to create apps, although GV Mobile could breach current guidelines which stop apps from duplicating iPhone functionality. If it does allow it, however, it could pave the way for the official Google Voice app to return too.
Google told TechCrunch that, "We currently offer Google Voice mobile apps for Blackberry and Android, and we offer an HTML5 web app for the iPhone. We have nothing further to announce at this time." With Android's open source skills surging, it seems Apple is ready to backtrack and allow this killer app back into the fold.
What do you think? Should GV Mobile be allowed back into the App Store? Tell us on Facebook or Twitter.

Hoping to roast chestnuts on an open fire? Make sure you're covered with home insurance
Posted: December 13, 2012|

Hoping to roast chestnuts on an open fire? Make sure you're covered with home insurance
There are so many lovely traditional things to do this season – and one of them is lighting an open fire and roasting some chestnuts over it. But fires of course come with risk, so make sure your home is covered just in case your cosy fire gets out of control.
Of course, prevention is better than cure. And there are plenty of things you can do to make sure you have a safe open fire at home. So one thing is preventing a disaster from happening – and the other is making sure your home is covered in case disaster does strike. You can look for home insurance quotes online – to find a policy and price that's right for you.
Here are some helpful tips to make sure having your open fire (and even roasting chestnuts over it) will be as enjoyable as possible:
1. Clean your chimney
If you haven't had your chimney swept for some time, the chances are there will be a build up of soot. And this can be really flammable. So before you start to make a fire, make sure it's clean.
2. Keep flammables away
It sounds silly, but make sure there's nothing near your fire that can catch light. For example, curtains, wicker baskets or newspaper will all go up in flames pretty quickly if a spark touches them.
3. Get a fire guard
Fires can spit out red hot embers, so having a protective fire guard in place can really help cut down the risk of embers burning a hole in your carpet – or worse, starting a destructive fire.
4. Never leave a fire unattended
Fires are unpredictable – and they can get out of control a lot quicker than you think. Lit logs can roll out of the fireplace and onto rugs or your carpet. So when you leave the house or go to bed, make sure the fire is properly extinguished. And take care even if you just leave the room for a little while.
Don't leave it too late to make sure your home is covered. Look for home insurance quotes today.
5. Store fuel away
Wood, coal and firelighters should all be kept outside the fire screen – and preferably in a fireproof container. A simple spark could cause chaos.
There's so much to enjoy about an open fire – the smell, the warmth, the comfort. So, if you do decide to have one this season, just make sure you do it as safely as possible. And check that you have adequate home and contents insurance in place too.

People have different ideas about what material is appropriate, both for themselves and their families. This guide is provided to give you information to determine if the content of this production is suitable for you and your loved ones. Please be aware that this information is provided with the intent of disclosure, and therefore contains plot spoilers:
The story of The Sound of Music is based loosely on the true story of Maria Rainer and the von Trapp family. It takes place in Salzburg, Austria, during the last golden years of the 1930's before World War II devastated Europe. Maria begins as a postulant at the Abbey, but the Mother Abbess doubts Maria's readiness for the novitiate and instead sends her to Captain Georg Von Trapp to act as governess for his seven children. Since his wife passed away some years earlier, Captain Von Trapp has become withdrawn and embittered, and his children have been raised by a string of governesses, none of whom could cope with the demanding task. The children eventually succumb to Maria's charms, her heartfelt ways, and especially her love of music. Captain Von Trapp returns from Vienna with the sophisticated, wealthy Elsa Schraeder, whom he intends to marry. However, during a very eventful dinner party it becomes clear that the Captain and Maria have romantic feelings for one another. Confused by these emotions, Maria flees to the Abbey. There the Mother Abbess instructs Maria to return to the Von Trapp house and find the path that God has chosen for her.
The story is one of courage, the power of music and love, and the restoration of faith.
While the Captain and Maria's story is one of attraction and worldly love, The Sound of Music is a show free of innuendo or inference to sexual matters.
Champagne is seemingly served at a party to the adult guests. Drunkenness is never depicted and there are no other references to drugs or alcohol. There is no "off-color" language in The Sound of Music.
1938 was a scary time in Europe. This very real and factually based story of the Nazi occupation of Austria permeates Act II. Actors dressed as Nazi soldiers appear at the concert scene and in the dark scene that follows. This and the music and sound effects played for a short stint could be scary to young children. A gun is brandished in the same scene, and there are a few incidences of actors being slapped, but there is no other overt violence in the show.
Please note that infants and children under 5 are not admitted to LST shows.

Over the course of their 90-year history, Valencia CF have more than earned their status as one of Spain's biggest clubs and proved themselves on the European stage. FIFA.com takes a closer look at the life and times of Los Ches.
Birth of an institution
The players of the newly formed Valencia Football Club first took to the field on 21 May 1918, just a few short months after a group of enthusiasts had met in the city's Bar Torino to instigate the club's foundation.
Despite going down 1-0 in their first game against Gimnastico in Castellon, it was not long before Valencia achieved regional success and began taking part in the Spanish Cup. This was the most important club competition in Spain prior to the formation of the Campeonato Nacional de Liga (National League Championship), with Valencia playing the inaugural 1928/29 season in the second tier of the new league before winning promotion in 1930/31.
Making of a legend
It was not until after the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) that the club picked up their first silverware on the national stage. Indeed, the 1940s side, powered by a delantera eléctrica (electric forward line) including Valencia idols Edmundo Suarez and Epifanio Fernandez, raced to three La Liga titles (1941/42, 1943/44 and 1946/47), two Copa del Rey wins (1941 and 1949), as well as three runners-up finishes in the cup and two in the league.
The Valencianistas' subsequent period of sustained success came in the early 1960s, with the recently established European competitions to the fore. Los Ches took over Barcelona's mantle in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup - the forerunner to the UEFA Cup - winning the trophy in 1962 and 1963 thanks to inspirational performances from Vicente Guillot and Brazilian signing Waldo Machado. They even reached the final again in 1964, but Real Zaragoza prevented a remarkable triple triumph.
Valencia's 1970s revival was largely influenced by two Argentinian-born legends of Spanish and world football. The first of these was former Real Madrid icon Alfredo di Stefano, who in his first season as coach in 1970/71 took Los Ches to Liga glory and the final of the Copa del Rey, where there were beaten by Barcelona.
The following season Valencia finished second in both competitions, but Di Stefano's departure in 1974 ushered in a transitional period which lasted until the arrival of prolific Argentina front-man Mario Kempes. A year on from scoring twice against the Netherlands in the Final of the 1978 FIFA World Cup™, El Matador Kempes was at it again, grabbing a brace in Valencia's cup final win over Real Madrid, their fifth triumph in the competition.
The next season, with Di Stefano back at the helm, they went all the way to the final of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, where they beat north London giants Arsenal 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw. They then added the UEFA Super Cup to their trophy cabinet, beating Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest - the reigning European Cup winners - on away goals over two legs.
The present
These successes were followed by a dip in the club's fortunes which culminated in relegation in 1985/86, thus bringing to an end 55 uninterrupted years in the top flight. Though their stay in the second division lasted just one season, the fans' wait for another trophy would not be broken until 1999, when the team led by Italian supremo Claudio Ranieri claimed the Copa del Rey.
Boasting players of the calibre of Gaizka Mendieta, Claudio El Piojo Lopez, Santiago Canizares and Kily Gonzalez, Valencia stormed to the final of the UEFA Champions League under new coach Hector Cuper, only to lose 3-0 to Madrid. Cuper's charges were back in the showpiece final one season later, however, but glory was denied them once more, this time by defeat in a penalty shoot-out against Oliver Kahn's Bayern Munich.
Following Cuper's departure to Inter Milan, the baton was passed to the relatively unknown Rafael Benitez, who won La Liga in 2001/02, his first season in command. The future Liverpool coach followed this up with a hugely successful 2003/04 campaign, which featured another La Liga success and triumphs in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
Though managerial stability has eluded them since Benitez left for England, Los Ches have remained a force, particularly on the domestic stage, with victory in the 2007/08 Copa del Rey a highlight.
The stadium
On 20 May 1923, Valencia officially unveiled their Estadio Mestalla, having spent their early years in Algiros, and the first match in the new arena ended in a 1-0 win over Levante. The post-Civil War years saw the stadium renovated several times and its capacity increased, while a great deal of work was required on the playing surface following the city-wide floods of 1957.
Many years later came the most drastic changes to the Mestalla, with work carried out to bring the facilities up to scratch before hosting matches at both the 1982 FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Football Tournament in 1992.
The club have now taken steps towards constructing a state-of-the-art "Nou Mestalla" whose roof design will replicate the flow of the River Turia, which winds its way through the centre of the Mediterranean city.

Daytona Beach, Fla. (Feb. 21, 2013) - The Daytona 500 is NASCAR's biggest race of the year, and the Duel races which set the Daytona 500 starting line-up are equally important. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. started the second Budweiser Duel in the sixth position. After a speeding penalty leaving pit-road, the Rookie of the Year contender battled his way back to a 14th-place finish.
"It was okay," Stenhouse said. "I obviously made a mistake on pit road. I thought I hit the number right at the yellow line and obviously hit it a tick too early. That is the first time I have been caught speeding on pit road. We learned not to do that. As long as we don't do that Sunday we will be okay. I think our No. 17 Best Buy Ford was fast enough to run up front, but the balance could be an issue later on in the race but all in all I think it will be good."
The Olive Branch, Miss. native started the 60 lap shootout in the sixth position and was shuffled back to 11th- position after being caught on the inside lane without drafting help. Under a scheduled green flag pit-stop, Stenhouse was caught speeding while exiting pit-road resulting in a pass thru penalty dropping the rookie to 16th.
The two-time NASCAR Nationwide Champion battled back to gain two more positions in the closing laps to earn a 14th-place finish.Stenhouse and the No. 17 team will start the Daytona 500 in the 28th- position. The 500 is set for Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. EST, and will be televised live on FOX. The race can also be heard on MRN and SIRIUS radio channel 90.
Roush Fenway Racing is the winningest team in NASCAR history, fielding multiple teams in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series with championship drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Trevor Bayne.

(Youngstown Vindicator, July 15, 2011)
The Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborative does not believe the city has acted quickly enough to address blight and property vacancy.
Editorial: A chance to embrace openness by JobsOhio's new board
(The Plain Dealer, July 16, 2011)
Also at issue is openness. The inaugural directors will set the tone for how JobsOhio accounts to Ohioans for its actions and its use of taxpayer dollars. Nothing would be more fatal to taxpayer confidence than a closed-door mentality. JobsOhio's transparency is as important to its success as its development programs.
2,100 jobs linked to upcoming economic development projects
(Dayton Daily News, July 16, 2011)
More than a dozen projects in the pipeline could mean up to 2,100 jobs for the region, the Dayton Development Coalition's top executive said Friday.

Sinclair Community College is holding the first civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle training class in the region beginning July 19 at its main campus and Tech Town in downtown. The college is hoping to prepare the area's workforce for forthcoming jobs as a result of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's involvement with the evolving technology.
Mow the grass, own the property next door
(Toledo Blade, July 17, 2011)
Under Sandusky's new Mow to Own program -- believed to be unusual in Ohio -- homeowners living next to properties that are abandoned but made useless by zoning laws can take care of the land for up to two years, until the value of their maintenance matches the parcel's value.
Opportunity Corridor's latest alignment would uproot more than 90 families, a dozen businesses
(The Plain Dealer, July 18, 2011)
Building the boulevard means acquiring dozens of properties, knocking down buildings and relocating families and businesses, at an estimated cost of $22.7 million, ODOT's study of the proposed alignment showed.
All Marion Co. school districts likely to have issues on November ballot
(Marion Star, July 18, 2011)
Most Marion County voters will see a school levy request when they go to the polls in November. The majority of Marion County's districts, however, are holding off on seeking new money.
Editorial: Update jobless comp
(Toledo Blade, July 18, 2011)
Given Ohio's chronically high jobless rate and its fragile fiscal condition, state government needs all the help it can get to keep its unemployment compensation system solvent. Yet the state's failure to modernize the system could cost it $176.3 million in federal aid next month.

Researchers from the Department of Neurogenetics at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine and University Medical Centre Göttingen believe that they might have found a potential therapy for Charcot Marie Tooth Type 1A, the most common of the hereditary neuropathies.
The researchers discovered that the maturity of Schwann cells is impaired in rats with the disease. These cells would usually provide insulation for the myelin sheaf, which enables the smooth functioning of nerve impulses. However, when the Schwann cells don't mature correctly, then this can leave the nerves without a sufficient amount of myelin.
According to the researchers, a nerve growth factor called neuregulin-1 has shown "immense therapeutic potential". Rats treated with neuregulin-1 have more myelinated nerve fibres and fewer symptoms of CMT.
Commenting on the research, co-author Ruth Stassar,said: "In genetically modified rats, even a brief neuregulin-1 treatment within the first two weeks of life improves the animals' disease symptoms until they reach adulthood."
Scientists and researchers from Michael Sereda's Research Group plan to conduct further studies to "drive forward the development of a treatment for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A". However, it will be a long time before the growth factor can be used on patients as neuregulin-1 is not safe for use in patients; the researchers intend to use drugs that can imitate the neuregulin-1 signalling pathways when they undertake further studies.
