How to Sit1. Sit on the forward third of a chair or cushion. 2. Arrange your legs in a position you can maintain comfortably. In the Half Lotus position, place your left leg on your right thigh (or vice versa). In the Full Lotus position, put your feet on opposite thighs. You may also sit simply with your legs tucked in close to your body, but be sure that your weight is distributed on three points: both of your knees on the ground and your buttocks on the round cushion. On a chair, keep your knees apart about the width of your shoulders, feet firmly planted on the floor. More »

Feeding Your DemonsDEMONSare not bloodthirsty ghouls waiting for us in dark places; they are within us, the forces that we find inside ourselves, the core of which is ego-clinging. Demons are our obsessions and fears, feelings of insecurity, chronic illnesses, or common problems like depression, anxiety, and addiction. Feeding our demons rather than fighting them may seem to contradict the conventional approach of attacking and attempting to eliminate that which assails us, but it turns out to be a remarkable alternative and an effective path to liberation from all dichotomies.

Practicing with the Five HindrancesThe Five Hindrances are negative mental states that impede our practice and lead us toward unwholesome action. All of us have no doubt experienced how sensual desire, anger, sloth, restlessness, and doubt can overtake our minds—not to mention our meditation practice. These negative mind states have enormous potency, and it is difficult to pry ourselves loose from their grasp. In fact, sometimes we take perverse pleasure in indulging them, which of course makes them doubly difficult to overcome. We nurture desire for an inappropriate person; we brood over an argument with a friend; we content ourselves with an outmoded routine or relationship; we obsessively second-guess even the smallest of decisions; we allow ourselves to be consumed with doubts rather than resolving them.

Commit to SitWe don't have to remind you how toxic our lives can be. Stress at work, arguments with loved ones, poor diets, and too many hectic weekends conjure daydreams of Himalayan caves—guaranteed not to have cell phone reception. But in reality, even that retreat you've been planning for years feels like an impossible commitment. Balancing a commitment to becoming more compassionate and wise with the responsibilities of a family, a career, and a checking account is a near-constant dilemna for many practitioners. To help, we've teamed up with one of the West's foremost Buddhist teachers, Sharon Salzberg, to create an intensive meditation program designed for your busy schedule. No steep retreat fees, no putting newspaper delivery on hold, no out-of-office replies required. More »

What You're Made OfI first learned the reflection on the Six Elements thirteen years ago, on a four-month retreat in the mountains of southern Spain. It was my first introduction to insight meditation, and although at times since then the practice has given rise to uncomfortable experiences, it has more often brought a sense of lightness, freedom, and expansiveness as well as a greater sense of connectedness to the world.

Silverton Things to Do
Gold panning
The Old Hundred offers gold panning for all ages. Free with the purchase of a tour.The miner's sluicebox is "salted" with the real thing, so everybody is sure to find some "colors". Though the name of the mine is "Old Hundred Gold Mine", we only found silver... strange! :-) ...but fun!more
The arrival of the train from Durango
Overwhelming!Silverton is the end station of the Narrow Gauche Railroad. The full- service season runs from May until October.It's incredible. The end-station is just in the center of the town. The tracks end at the crossing of Blair Street and 12th Street. The sound and the smell of this big black steaming colossus is a breathtaking scene!more
Old Hundred Gold Mine
The guided tour takes you in a little rail car, 1/3 mile into the Mountain, to learn how mining was done.The old mining equipment is still in place.Our guide once was an engineer in this mine and his lessons were spiced with authentic personal anecdotes. Wow!No reservations needed. Tours depart every hour on the hour, from mid May through the 1st...more
Daily gunfight
The famous Silverton gunfight is a great family entertainment and fun for all ages. Very amateurishly, but very funny.As Europeans, we especially liked the typical broad "Far West" accent of the performers. Great!There is a street performance every day at 5.30 pmmore
Durango and Silverton Railroad
Silverton is the northern terminus for the Durango and Silverton Railroad. The Durango and Silverton Railroad is one of the most scenic train trips in America, in my opinion. The round trip, which I highly recommend, takes about 9 hours. Through this train trip, you will see some of the best scenery in Colorado.more
Million Dollar Highway (US 550)
The main road through this region of Colorado is the Million Dollar Highway. There are some breathtaking views from this road. I was on this road in 1981, but not this time around. But I remember it was quite scenic.more

Great place to eat!
Natalia's is one of the oldest "bordellos", changed into a restaurant. We chose this one because of it's inviting and authentic American atmosphere.There are lots of "historical" :-) stuff hanging on the wall and the sealing. You won't get bored waiting for your meal!Dining on the outdoor patio is possible too. From here you can see the train...more
Natalia's 1912 Restaurant
Restaurant has a nice patio for outdoor dining. I was here for lunch. The french fries had a nicely spiced coating on it. It was almost like BBQ Potato Chips.more
Silverton Hotels1 Hotels in Silverton
Silverton Transportation
The Durango - Silverton Narrow Gauge...
Lots of tourists take a ride on the authentic turn of the century steam powered scenic railroad from Durango to Silverton and back.
The ride goes through the beautiful San Juan Mountains at about 18 miles/hour and it takes 3 1/2 hours to travel the 45 miles one way.
Once in Silverton, there is a layover of two hours and fifteen minutes.
This service begins May 10th and runs trough the end of october.
We didn't ride the train. Though I am sure it is a "must do", we thought it would be a waist of time to spend so much time on the train.
We think the engine is extremely impressive and nice to look at, so we saw it depart and arrive both in Durango and Silverton and enjoyed the view of the riding train instead of sitting in it.Related to:

Silverton Favorites
Remains of the past
Favorite thing: Along the Million Dollar Highway we saw remains of what once was a flourishing mine industry. Strange how Americans travel to Europe to see majestical castles while we travel all the way to the Old West to see ruins of wooden sheds. Couldn't get enough of it...Related to:

CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- History can be a great teacher. West Virginians can prepare for future flooding with attention to a personal evacuation and communication plan.
"Learn flood-warning signs and your community's alert signals," said Louis Botta, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) federal coordinating officer.
Individuals living in flash-flood areas should have several alternative plans.
An emergency communication plan for getting back together is important in case family members are separated from one another during floods or flashfloods. This is a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school.
An out-of-state relative or friend can serve as the "family contact." After a disaster, it is often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address and phone number of the contact person.
It is important to make sure that all family members know how to respond after a flood or flashflood:
- Teach all family members how and when to turn off gas, electricity and water.
- Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1, police, fire department and which radio station to tune to for emergency information.
- Be prepared to evacuate.
- Keep children away from creeks, streams and drainage systems.
- Do not drive through standing or flowing water.
If time permits, here are other steps that you can take before the flood waters come:
- Turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve if evacuation appears necessary.
- Move valuables, such as papers, furs, jewelry and clothing to upper floors or higher elevations.
- Fill bathtubs, sinks and plastic soda bottles with clean water. Sanitize the sinks and tubs first by using bleach. Rinse, fill with clean water.
- Bring outdoor possessions, such as lawn furniture, grills and trash cans inside, or tie them down securely.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.

Toronto weather: GTA thunderstorms to last through Tuesday evening
A storm watch remains in effect for the GTA Tuesday night after an afternoon of darkened skies and flooded city streets.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A storm watch remains in effect for the GTA Tuesday night after an afternoon of darkened skies and flooded city streets.
Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm advisory around noon for Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill.
The agency qualifies a thunderstorm as severe if it includes any of the following: 90 km/h gusts, 2 cm-thick hail, 50 mm/h rain and a tornado. It warned of large chunks of hail, strong winds and intense lightning.
Despite pelting rain and rolling thunder, Toronto was not included in the watch.
Streets were flooded with water at Rexdale Blvd. and Islington Ave., delaying traffic in the area.
Meanwhile, floodwater at Lake Shore Blvd. W. and Park Lawn Rd. reached car doors, Const. Tony Vella said. He said the water was likely due to a poor drainage system or spillover from the sewer.
The storm knocked out power to a section of Yonge-Dundas Square, resulting in a cancellation of Tuesday night's movie screening.
North of the city, a bolt of lightning struck a transformer in Markham, cutting off power for about 4,000 residences in the city's southeast region in the early afternoon.
Electricity was restored for 2,000 customers by 2:45 p.m. The residences that remained in the dark were expected to have power by 4 p.m. at the latest, a spokesperson from Powerstream said.
Weather also cancelled Vaughan's weekly Concerts in the Park event Tuesday night.
Scattered storms across southern Ontario are expected to roll into the evening, with some nearing severe conditions.
Environment Canada says the clouds over Toronto will clear Wednesday, with an expected high of 29C, before a chance of minor thunderstorms Thursday.
But severe weather is expected to persist in northern Ontario. Passengers using Pearson airport should check flight schedules for possible delays.

A train hit a car that was on the tracks Monday night in Roy.
The car had turned onto the Union Pacific tracks about 9:45 p.m., when a southbound train approached and struck it from behind, said Roy police spokesman Bryce Weir.
"The occupants of the car hopped out right before it got hit," Weir said.
The car was stuck under the front of the train, which pushed it nearly a mile south before it came to a stop.
No one was injured in the collision.
Investigators did not know why the car pulled onto the tracks.

Success of the Office of Management and Budget's 25 Initiatives Depends on Effective Management and Oversight

A key element of the President's Management Agenda is the expansion of electronic government (e-government) to enhance access to information and services, particularly through the Internet. In response, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established a task force that selected a strategic set of initiatives to lead this expansion. GAO previously reviewed the completeness of the information used for choosing and overseeing these initiatives, including business cases and funding plans.
E-government offers many opportunities to better serve the public, make government more efficient and effective, and reduce costs. To achieve these goals, the 25 e-government initiatives selected by OMB's Quicksilver task force focus on a wide variety of services, aiming to simplify and unify agency work processes and information flows, provide one-stop services to citizens, and enable information to be collected on line once and reused, rather than being collected many times. For example, Recreation One-Stop is a Web portal for a single point of access to information about parks and other federal, state, and local recreation areas. Other initiatives are being pursued that do not necessarily rely on the Internet, such as the e-Payroll initiative to consolidate federal payroll systems. GAO's review of the initial planning documents for the initiatives highlights the critical importance of management and oversight to their success. Important aspects--such as collaboration and customer focus--had not been addressed in early program plans for many of the projects, and major GAO's review of the initial planning documents for the initiatives highlights the critical importance of management and oversight to their success. Important aspects--such as collaboration and customer focus--had not been addressed in early program plans for many of the projects, and major uncertainties in funding and milestones were not uncommon. As shown by GAO's comparison of the content of the initiatives' business cases with best practices, all the business cases included key information, but many elements were missing. In particular, fewer than half addressed collaboration and customer focus, despite the importance of these topics to e-government strategy and goals. Similarly, the accuracy of estimated costs in the funding plans was questionable: between May and September 2002, these estimates for 12 of the initiatives changed significantly--by more than 30 percent. Accurate cost, schedule, and performance information is essential to ensure that projects are on schedule and achieve their goals.

Regardless of whether the driver obeys the commands or resists a hijacker, every single school bus driver must understand that their No. 1 priority is the protection of the children on board. Drivers must be prepared mentally for these situations and conduct drills to reinforce proper procedures.
With a background in the fire truck industry, Dan Peters comes to Collins Bus Corp. with a keen understanding of the importance of building a top-quality vehicle for the job of protecting people.
What about having conversations with kids (or even aides) on the bus while driving? Is that a source of distraction that should be avoided?
The collaborative atmosphere at the School District of Manatee County's transportation department ensures that everyone works together to do their jobs efficiently, minimizing unnecessary expenditures. A combination of factors, including providing ongoing driver instruction to help them operate new buses that have been purchased, has saved the district about $400,000.
School buses have been used in a variety of operations to protect the public in emergencies, such as hurricanes and floods. Here are details on how pupil transporters are preparing for and responding to times of crisis.
In its definition of the word "hero," Webster's notes that it is "especially one who has risked or sacrificed his life." Charles sacrificed his life to protect his kids — the passengers on his school bus.
A school district and a bus dealership in Indiana have combined efforts to develop a retrofit for school buses that they say enhances safety. The alarm sounds if a driver unfastens his or her seat belt and has not engaged the air brake parking system.
You may feel like you can't make time to exercise, but if you do, you just might find yourself more focused and productive while you're working.
Periodically in our national life, safety, security or both are compromised in ways that are profoundly impactful. These are the game-changers that invoke a shared emotional call to "do something." The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., was such an event. After the passionate debate about school security options, a "new normal" will eventually emerge, because the status quo is no longer acceptable.
Often, just by tracking and displaying results, employees become more aware of their own influence on the measurements.
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, large employers, such as school bus contractors, must offer affordable and minimal value healthcare insurance to full-time staffers by Jan. 1, 2014, or tax penalties will be imposed. Guidance from several federal agencies shows when employees must be treated as full time based on their work hours and employment timeframes, with examples for existing and new personnel.
With Blue Bird recently netting its biggest-ever order of propane school buses — more than 400 — President and CEO Phil Horlock is ebullient about the fuel's potential. Here, he discusses alternative fuels, the state of school bus sales and other pertinent topics.
In this roundtable, executives from several school bus companies discuss driver shortage, the potential for growth in the contractor market this year, and what impact legislative issues — at the national and state levels — will have on their business, and on the industry as a whole.
Tech-to-tech instruction and partnering with neighboring school districts for training exercises provide easy opportunities to develop employees' skills and knowledge. Having good equipment and taking advantage of resources available through state pupil transportation associations are also worthwhile.
The public expectation of outstanding performance is now carved in stone based on decades of our industry doing just that. So, trying to get reporters interested in still another story about our safety record is challenging to say the least.
In conducting our 2013 Special-Needs Survey, we asked recipients what efficiencies or cost savings they've been able to achieve in special-needs transportation, and how they did so. Here are some responses.
A key development in the school bus world last year was the heightened level of contact between the U.S. industry and those involved in pupil transportation in foreign nations. Perhaps most notable among those connections was in Dubai, whose Roads and Transport Authority tapped the expertise of our National Association for Pupil Transportation to promote school bus safety in the Emirate and beyond.
Do some school bus drivers need their passengers (or someone else) to remind them to buckle up? Recent incidents of un-belted drivers falling out of their seat show the need for managers to regularly monitor their drivers' seat belt use — and to enforce penalties for not complying.
A Transportation Research Board committee was not able to pinpoint data on student transit fatalities because students are not an established subset of transit ridership. This said, a strong transit system can play an important role in high school education.
To protect kids from being left stranded, drivers have to carefully check their bus. Electronic systems can help keep that duty from being neglected.

^ Wow! What airline still serves "food" as opposed to teeny tiny bags of peanuts?
British Airways.
I always use them whenever I can because they're still a proper full-service airline. I noticed that they've even upgraded their entertainment system to full video-on-demand even in "World Traveller" (read: cattle class, though I nabbed the extra legroom seats both ways), so there's now a really wide range of new and old movies and TV to watch and you have full control over when it starts/finishes and can rewind, etc. A life-saver on a 12 hour flight, believe me.
Ironically enough though, they've phased out the tiny bags of peanuts. Seriously. I asked for some with my G&T and was told they're no longer available due to cost cutting but I could have some chocolate-covered raisins instead. Don't ask me to explain why these are cheaper than the peanuts.

Eleven New Farmer Development Project farmers participated in this year's NOFA-NY annual winter conference, which brought together nearly 1400 organic farmers, gardeners, activists and eaters from around New York state.
NFDP participants included Nestor Tello, the Project's first farmer, who gathered information for his recently purchased 25 acres in Greene County, NY, and Martin Rodriguez, who had the opportunity to present his unique method of cultivating Mexican culinary herbs to Spanish-speaking conference attendees.
NFDP provided simultaneous interpretation for Martin's presentation, as well as 6 workshops and 3 keynote presentations during the 2-day conference, whose theme this year was "Digging Diversity." Look for video clips of Martin's presentation on the NFDP website in the near future.
On the ten-year anniversary of the New Farmer Development Project, the project completed another successful farmer training class, La Nueva Siembra. Designed specifically for immigrants with agricultural experience who are interested in starting their own operation, the course concluded a successful run with 13 graduates. These future farmers hailed from Guatemala, Mexico, Taiwan, Haiti, Guyana, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the U.S., and learned to develop business plans as diverse as their backgrounds. From an online mushroom CSA to urban aquaculture, their ideas are now entering the new planning phase, with individual assistance from the NFDP staff for the 2011 growing season.
Offered Tuesday evenings from October to December and concluding with a weekend intensive, La Nueva Siembra covered a wide range of topics including Goals and Skills Evaluation, Finding Land, Finances, Labor and Development Laws, and Marketing and Production Plans, to name a few. To increase the effectiveness of the curriculum, many students took advantage of workshops organized by NFDP and its partners throughout late summer and early fall – Marketing in the Market, Seed Saving, Farm Tour and Tractor Safety. Participants also had the opportunity to attend various conferences with the NFDP staff and current farmers throughout the fall and winter, and will continue to do so as 2011 progresses.
As "real world" complementary elements to the class, four guest farmers gave presentations, advice, and answered the multitude of questions for class participants. The NFDP sincerely thanks Martin and Gaudencia Rodriguez, Sergio and Paz Nolasco, Jorge Carmona, and Nestor Tello for sharing their precious time and invaluable experience with the LNS class of 2010!
Congratulations to all the graduates and best of luck! We all look forward to following your stories as your farming plans unfold!
Today, Governor Andrew Cuomo released A Transformational Plan for a New New York, a 31-page plan designed to "fundamentally transform New York State's government and economy."
The plan included a section entitled Expand Fresh Food into Urban Centers: Urban Markets meets NY Produce, prominently featuring the Greenmarket program, our new Wholesale Greenmarket at the Hunts Point Terminal Produce Market, and our extensive EBT/SNAP/WIC program at Greenmarkets.
Read the Transformational Plan for a New New York.
This past Saturday night, more than 40 graduates of the "La Nueva Siembra" training program celebrated the tenth anniversary of GrowNYC's New Farmer Development Project.
"There were 75 total guests, with 8 current farmers and more than 40 graduates from La Nueva Siembra, including 5 participants from the most recent 2010 class," reported Chris Wayne, NFDP Coordinator. Special guests included both the founding director of the project, Rachel Danifer, and the previous director, Kate Granger. Also in attendance were long time Cornell Cooperative Extension agent and NFDP training specialist John Ameroso and his wife Linda.
Nestor Tello, an egg and chicken producer from Dutchess County, was the winner of the evening's raffle and took home a broadcast seeder and a 50lb bag of cover crop seed. He hopes to use the seed on a new piece of property that he is in the process of acquiring in Greene County.
All Saturday Greenmarkets will be closed on Saturday, December 25 and Saturday, January 1. The schedule for Sunday Greenmarkets, effective December 26 and January 2, is below.
77th Street – closed Dec 26, open Jan 2
Carroll Gardens – closed Dec 26, open Jan 2Columbia – open Dec 26 and Jan 2Cortelyou – open Dec 26 and Jan 2Jackson Heights – closed Dec 26 and Jan 2Tompkins – open Dec 26 and Jan 2
There will be no textile collections at any market on December 24-26, December 31, and January 1-2.
Farmers at several Greenmarket locations harvest a variety of evergreen trees. Here's a list of markets where you can get a locally grown tree, wreath, or garland for all your holiday decorating needs:
77th Street SundayAbingdon Square SaturdayUnion Square Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday
Brooklyn Boro Hall SaturdayFort Greene Park SaturdayGrand Army Plaza Saturday
GrowNYC's Thanksgiving Produce Bags were a big hit this year, distributing close to 2,000 lb of fresh, local produce to Harlem residents for the holiday. $4 produce bags filled with 5 pounds of seasonal vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and collard greens were sold at four locations throughout Harlem.
Thanks to all our partners and volunteers who made it possible! See you next year.
Greenmarket Grains Week—seven days of collaborative programming to promote the re-emergence of local grains in our regional food system—has ended, and we're proud to say that it was a huge success! Home bakers compared recipes and tried each other's bread; experts discussed the past, present, and future of local grains; and baking classes and cooking demonstrations showed New Yorkers how to use local grains to make anything from pancakes to bagels.
Calling all home cooks! Online recipe website Epicurious is hosting a Greenmarket-inspired recipe contest. Turn in your best market recipe (from any time of year) and you could win $1,000 and have your recipe posted on the GrowNYC website!
Go to the contest webpage.
The week of Thanksgiving, all Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday markets will be open. Thursday, November 25, and Friday, November 26, all markets will be closed. Markets will resume their normal schedules on Saturday, November 27.

IMPULS: The choice for going out
Well, I can say that this is nice place for going out. Maybe it's to dark for my taste, but it's night club so it's nature... Also, I must admit that they no have security or they have but I not saw them. I not say that is not safe..not at all. The bar at same place (down floor of same building) are disco too, but at open... We had cool time there...even it was so excited. People looked us, maybe we looked as foreigners..who knows... Anyway, my recommendation if you have good and funny friends, don't hesitate to visit this place!
Dress Code: Don't matter... once I dressed sport's outlook, second day as elegant ... so both are accepted.Related to:

I'm a simple person who is looking for the one, if there is such a thing. Someone I can hope to marry, have children with, the whole white-picket fence, simple, settle down lifestyle. Just looking for a girl who has good values, morals, and ethics. Someone who values committment through the bad times and the rough days, who can always see a light at the end of the tunnel. So many people aren't like that anymore. It's a beautiful thing!

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Working, planning on going back to school in the fall, enjoying the simple things in life. I want to become a high school teacher, it really doesn't matter what subject. I have 63 credit hours so far.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Friends, Family, Bible, water, food, and a job.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
When I'll find my true love, when I'll finish college, and when I'll see my brother again in Oklahoma.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Going to the movies, hanging out with a friend from working, visiting my grandmother at the nursing home.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm short I dunno I don't have anything to really hide.

Lucky you! Don't worry, you are not missing much :)
Yeah, that´s what I also thought - so I better watch society6 (?!)
Yes, but it's just as addictive as television!

The Giving Pledge is the brainchild of billionaire businessmen Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The two of them have teamed up to ask the world's wealthiest people to donate at least 50% of their fortunes to charities. They believe that the richest people in the world can eradicate many of the world's problems through philanthropy. The pledge is not a binding contract but more of a "moral commitment". Individuals are free to donate money to whatever cause they would like. So, far about 40 billionaires have accepted the giving pledge challenge. That's not a large number when you consider that there are nearly 1,000 billionaires in the world, according to Forbes. So, who hasn't signed up and for what reason? (For related reading, check out The Christmas Saints Of Wall Street.)
IN PICTURES: How To Make Your First $1 Million
Carl Icahn
Wall Street tycoon Carl Icahn is noticeably absent from the Giving Pledge website and for good reason. According to Icahn, Buffett and Gates failed to inform the billionaire investor. Icahn is enthusiastic about joining the Giving Pledge and plans on donating a large portion of his estate. Icahn currently has a net worth of $10.5 billion dollars. With a fortune that large, Icahn's phone may be ringing right this minute.
George Soros
Despite being an active participant in the first meeting, it is unclear whether Soros will join with the other billionaires and donate his sizable fortune. According to Forbes magazine, the self-made billionaire investor has a net worth of $14 billion dollars.
It really doesn't matter if Soros signs the pledge or not given his history of philanthropy. He has funded educational projects, infrastructure projects and humanitarian causes all around the world. Soros has given away $7 billion dollars of his fortune to charitable endeavors already and he plans to donate a large portion of his total wealth anyway. (For more see George Soros: The Philosophy Of An Elite Investor.)
Meg Whitman
Former eBay CEO and current California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has "no plans to join billionaires pledge" according to the Associated Press. She has not been contacted by Buffett or Gates and would decline if invited. Whitman is using her immense wealth to run for governor and build her charitable foundation. Whitman who has a net worth of $1.4 billion dollars has had to use her own money to run for state office. She has spent nearly $100 million dollars of her own money in seeking the state's top job. Whitman also has plans to donate to environmental and educational causes through her personal foundation.
Oprah Winfrey
With a net worth of $2.4 billion dollars, Oprah Winfrey is one of the richest women in the world. She is the highest-grossing star in the world of entertainment. She has been regularly voted as the most philanthropic celebrity in the field of entertainment. Winfrey has been silent on her intentions to join the giving pledge. It may be a possibility considering the star recently shut down her Angel Network charitable organization which has donated more than $80 million dollars to humanitarian causes. Winfrey still has the Oprah Winfrey Foundation which has reportedly given away over $230 million dollars since 1998.
Walton Family
The Walton family has four members on the Forbes list of the wealthiest people in the world. They can all thank Walmart founder Sam Walton for that. (For more, see The 10 Greatest Entrepreneurs.)
Christy Walton is the 12th richest person in the world according to Forbes, with $22.5 billion dollars. She inherited her wealth after the passing of her husband. Jim Walton is the 15th richest person in the world with a net worth of $20.7 billion dollars. Alice Walton comes in right behind Jim with a net worth of $20.6 billion dollars. S. Robson Walton is the 18th wealthiest person with a net worth of $19.8 billion dollars. None of them, however, is on the giving pledge list. The family has not commented as to why they have not signed up.
Peter Kramer
Many international billionaires and millionaires are not signing up because they see the Giving Pledge as too ostentatious. Some see the promise as a status symbol and a way of bringing more attention to the super rich.
German shipping millionaire Peter Kramer feels that it would better if the billionaires kept their money and let the government collect the revenue via taxes. Kramer believes that the government would use the money more effectively by putting it to work directly in local communities. He thinks that the giving pledge is a way for the ultra rich to avoid taxes and donate to their favorite interests and hobbies. Many of the rich feel that the government and other organizations are the best vehicles for charitable endeavors.
The Bottom Line
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett should be commended for coming up with the giving pledge idea. They have convinced 40 of the world's wealthiest individuals and families to give back to society. If they want to convince the other 900 or so billionaires however, they have a whole lot more schmoozing to do. (To learn, more see Billionaires: Can They Solve The World's Problems?)

Whether you view Starbucks as a soulless corporation or an ally enabling your legal caffeine addiction, there's no denying the coffee giant is wildly successful at what they do. This principle now seems to extend to the company's foray into music; Stockings by the Fire is the Starbucks label's new holiday compilation and a sonic treat. Matching icons like Sinatra, Martin and Fitzgerald with newer artists like John Legend, Jack Johnson and Hem, the record is designed to enhance the holiday experience. The best work on the album comes from its veterans: Sinatra's "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is pitch-perfect as is Martin's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" and Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)" while Ray Charles and Betty Carter prove wonderfully flirtatious on "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Other highlights include Mahalia Jackson's "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and the fresh life injected into "Let It Snow" by A Fine Frenzy. While the lineup is stellar, the album's few subpar moments prove that when it comes to Christmas music, even the best artists and songs aren't always a sure thing. Herbie Hancock and Corrine Bailey Rae, for example, are both tremendous musicians but their take on Joni Mitchell's "River" is curiously off-the-mark. It's a wonder the track is included, especially when Sarah McLachlan (who appears here with "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day") delivered a stirring rendition of the same song on her own holiday project last year. Overall, the album consistently hits its target: adding warmth and sound to the holidays.

The Marin Independent Journal called the decor "several steps above the usual neighborhood Chinese place." They added that the chicken-lettuce wraps, like much of the menu, were "elevated by clean flavors and fresh ingredients." While You're Waiting Gaze at the tropical fish swimming in the oversized tank. Watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen. Vocab Lesson Five spice: a seasoning mixture commonly found in Asian cooking. Blends may vary, but the five spices are often fennel seeds, Sichuan pepper, Chinese cinnamon, star anise, and cloves.

This 2.5-hour tour is like a walk through an open-air museum.
A picture-perfect medieval town on a small hill with a castle and three totally different museums: In Gruyères, 800-year-old regional history and culture meet Oscar-winning aliens and Buddhist sculptures.
Pure hiking pleasure - the trail that is dedicated to Switzerland is just as diverse as the country itself.
The centuries-old Grimsel Hospice is located in the midst of a bleak and rocky landscape, on the turquoise waters of an artificial lake. After comprehensive renovations, the former defiant miners' abode was transformed into an extremely elegant hotel - a place made for aesthetes and lovers of nature. Boasts a panoramic lounge, a fireplace lounge, bar, restaurant, seductive wine cellar and cosy rooms that include every comfort.
