About New York Slip and Fall Accidents
Some of the common types of slip and fall and trip and fall accidents in New York City include:
- Wet and slippery floors
- Sidewalk and parking lot accidents
- Accidents in cluttered stores
- Elevator and escalator accidents
In a situation where a person is injured in a slip and fall, the property owner may be liable if:
- He or she caused the unsafe condition, such as spilling liquid and not mopping it up
- He or she knew about the dangerous condition but did not take steps to correct it
- He or she should have known about the hazard because a reasonable person taking care of the property would have discovered and corrected the dangerous condition.
If you have fallen and been injured on someone else's property, you should report your accident to the property owner as soon as possible. Gather names, addresses and the telephone numbers of any eyewitnesses. It is helpful to take pictures of where your injuries occurred before the property owner can fix the hazard. This will make it easier to prove that your slip and fall was the result of the property owner's negligence. Immediately seek medical treatment for all injuries and follow all doctors' recommendations for treatment.
Keep copies of all of your medical bills (even those paid by insurance) and off-work slips. You may also want to keep a diary to record your thoughts about your medical treatment or the pain and suffering caused by your injuries. Stained, soiled and torn clothing and shoes worn at the time of the fall are important evidence, too. They should be set aside and not washed or worn anymore. Try to obtain a copy of any incident report written by the business where you fell. Doing these things will help our office prepare your case.

Regarding your first paragraph, I disagree, Jude Law is a perfect Watson and very engaging in this film. I've seen it and plan on seeing it again this coming week. It's Jared that I thought would have more impact, but he didn't for me.
Regarding the rest, bring on Charlie Chan. Wouldn't bother me.
The first Charlie Chan novel, The House without a Key, is a great mystery novel of old Hawaii--the book came out in 1925, but the mystery revolves around events of 40 years previous, so you keep getting characters nostalgic for the 1880s. It is a great story, and would make a great period movie, but Charlie Chan is a secondary figure in the novel. He is the brilliant detective who ends up solving the crime, but for much of the book, he is not in center-stage--there is a secondary detective, an amateur, who becomes Dr. Watson to Chan's Holmes, who gets more attention.
I am pretty sure he will
As if Hollywood needs ANY assistance in resurrecting and rehashing the same ol' stuff.
who needs Charlie Chan when there's already Detective Dee, doing kungfu and practical magic?
My father is a huge mystery fan, growing up I read all the Chan books, all the Holmes, all the Perry Masons (we had a shelf full of Mason double novel paperbacks) even a Holmes imitator, Solar Pons, by August Derleth.
I grew up watching the Rathbone Holmes and the various Chan movies on Sunday afternoons on WGN (they alternated Holmes one week and Chan the next).
I would absolutely pay to see a new Chan movie. Who should play Chan though? Could Jackie Chan play it straight? Whomever play him needs to at least be in his 50's, so someone like Daniel Kim from Hawaii 5-0 is out. Is Chow Yun Fat's english good enough? Jet Li? He's old enough.
Enjoyed Detective Chan the first time around and would love to see an updated film.
Best Pan-Asian racist TV moment: Maxwell Smart referring to The Claw as "The Craw," and The Claw responding in exasperation:
"Not Craw! CRAW!"
Huang points out that the film that launched Wayne Wang's directorial career was titled "Chan Is Missing": "So doing this movie is really a full circle for him. Forty years later, he wants to say, Chan Is Back."
"Chan is Missing" was made in 1982--it's 30 years old, not 40.
Two words: Sammo Hung.
Why not Bring back Mr. Moto while we're at it? I'm serious. Do a crossover, Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto vs. Fu Manchu. I'd pay to see that.
"Forty years later, he wants to say, Chan Is Back."
No, Chan isn't back. He was never here. It was Wong Cheen (sic) who was missing, but Wong Ch'ien is the one who's back after 30 years.
They did try to bring back Charlie Chan. That wanted it to be girl, she was going to be related to the great detective but it is in develop hell now and forever (most likely)

deviantART 12thMy great-grandfather used to tell me, "Don't chase after Cows because you'll only end up with a Cat in your Chest." I never quite understood his advice until one Chrimbo, I was gardening with my best friend Cecilia. All of a sudden, we found an underground tunnel! It was Coughing and spooky sounds came from deep within. Cecilia saw something interesting inside, jumped in, and I never saw her again. Great-granddaddy was right!
Happy B-day DAA young woman named Mimicoko loved making art, and practiced Mixing all day long to become the very best in all her town. But one day, she was completely stumped. She looked around her room, full of art pieces featuring mystical Monkeys, sci-fi landscapes of a futuristic Miami, and a portrait of Miley that looked so real, you could start a conversation with it. But nothing inspired her. Had she really created everything there was to create? Depressed, she looked out her window, and made a wish on a nearby Mouse for inspiration to return to her. The next morning, she sprung out of bed, and used her skill in Mixing to create the most beautiful deviation depicting Minks Marching anyone had ever seen. That night, she shouted out the window, "Thanks, Mouse!"
Happy 12th Bday DAOnce upon a time, there was a young boy named Mambo who always dreamed of becoming the world's best Footballer. He trained every day for 666 hours in order to beat his rival, The EPIC Menace. The day of the big competition arrived, and Mambo came armed with a Ball and his unstoppable determination. They were pitted against each other in a battle of wits, and Mambo emerged as the Groovy victor! His achievement is celebrated every Chrimbo.
Happy 12th DAFor deviantART's 12th birthday, the staff decided to throw a Amazing surprise party for Fella. They gathered at Fella's favorite restaurant, The Fancy Lemur, with presents in hand. Llama brought Fella to the door and once they stepped in, all of the staff screamed, "Hello~!" Fella was so shocked that he instantly Partied. He opened his presents to find that Llama had given him 12 Animals. He was amazed! He would never forget that night.

Best Spectacle (2001)
Who doesn't like songs about poo? Slump banks on the fact that everybody does. Penises too. Also: yeast infections, anal sex and hamsters. Keith Reynolds and Cathy Power have created a cult of personality around their Slump shows, which usually involve three chords on a guitar and lots of words your mother told you were not meant for polite conversation. Whether it's their lively Christmas pageants (audience members played games for porn tapes and butt plugs) or their spirited sing-alongs ("Life sure does suck it / It's hell in a bucket!"), Slump is nothing but perverted fun. But don't get us wrong. Just because they sing songs about Santa Claus's erection doesn't mean Slump is all naughty. In fact, there's something strangely alluring about a Slump show. Maybe it's the way it appeals to the twisted inner child in all of us. Either that, or the free butt plugs.

"Support for consensual government is ultimately our only choice," writes Victor Davis Hanson at NRO's The Corner. Max Boot, at Commentary magazine's blog Contentions, writes: "The administration should now make clear, by holding back further aid to Pakistan if necessary, that its support for democracy is more than rhetorical." He adds: "There is at least a possibility that a more popular and more legitimate government may have more success." Gordon Chang, also writing at Contentions, goes out on the democracy limb farther still: "From all we know, free elections (in Pakistan) would produce moderate leaders."
If we think of Musharraf as the Shah with nukes, banking on "at least a possibility" that all will come right at the ballot box is a dicey way to safeguard key American interests, particularly given how badly Westernism has fared with Muslim electorates. Meanwhile, recent polls fail to indicate Pakistanis are likely to vote in a government that could reasonably be described as "moderate."
Yes, Benazir Bhutto is very popular, with findings from Terror Free Tomorrow showing her drawing more support (63 percent) than both Osama bin Laden (he gets a disturbingly large 46 percent) and President Musharraf (38 percent). But Sharia, or Islamic law, is popular, too. As Jeffrey Imm points out at The Counterterrorism Blog, the same poll and another from World Public Opinion indicate that between 60 and 76 percent of Pakistanis seek more Sharia throughout Pakistan. This is anything but "moderate." In fact, this popular desire for Sharia dovetails nicely with Taliban plans to turn Pakistan into an all-Sharia state.
Considering other popular sentiments -- for example, when asked by World Public Opinion to rank government priorities, Pakistanis listed defeating "Al Qaeda, the Taliban and other Jihadi groups" dead last -- the will of the Pakistani people looks unlikely to amount to an asset, for example, to American troops fighting in the region. And aren't troops in harm's way to protect our national security our real moral imperative?

It was bound to happen sometime
You knew it would only be a matter of time before someone wearing a set of Google Glass Explorers would record authorities making an arrest, it's just mildly surprising it happened so fast. After all, it's not like any ol' Joe can grab a set of Glasses -- they're mainly in the hands of developers, and for others hoping to score a pair, Google's no longer accepting applications at this time.
Apparently there were enough in the wild for Glass to notch its first recorded fight and arrest sequence. According to VentureBeat , it happened during a rowdy July 4th celebration on a New Jersey boardwalk. Chris Barrett, founder of PRServe and a documentary filmmaker, happened to be on the scene while wearing his set of Glasses that he picked up only a week ago.
"I wanted to test Glass out, so I filmed some fireworks, getting a very cool first-person perspective," Barrett told VentureBeat .
A little while later, he found himself on the boardwalk where the incident took place. It's not a terribly interesting video by any means, but as far as we know, it's the first time Google Glass has captured an arrest. Only a billion more to go before it catches up with smartphones and dedicated video recorders.

Open Book: "Wearing God" by Lauren Winner
in Spirituality
God as bread. God as a laboring woman. God as a dog. Sound heretical? These are all metaphors for God that are used in the Bible! Lauren Winner's stunning book "Wearing God" brings some of these images forward for new consideration. In today's show, Lori and Alice will examine the affect that our image of God has on us and on our broader society. Then, we'll talk about God as clothing, and as the one who clothes us. How can this image change our vision of ourselves? Can it help us feel less shame about our bodies? Can it change how we interact with others? Let's talk about it on your favorite on-the-air book club!
Open Book: "Wearing God" by Lauren Winner (Part 2)
in Spirituality
God as bread. God as a laboring woman. God as a dog. Sound heretical? These are all metaphors for God that are used in the Bible! Lauren Winner's stunning book "Wearing God" brings some of these images forward for new consideration. Today, Lori and Alice consider God as a sensory experience: What does God smell like? What smells are most pleasing to God? How does our sense of smell lead us to — and away from — real communion with God? Then, we'll take on the metaphor of God as bread. Is God a marbled rye or chocolate tea bread? Tune in for some lively discussion from your favorite spiritual book club!

Natural Born Winner
As a Natural Born Winner SMASHes through a Republican field of losers, ineligibles and puppets who split the vote for ¿Jeb?; those who own the rigged scheme deploy their last hope to thump Trump. Unfortunately for them the Cubanadian couldn't deliver his scripted lines well enough to wound Trumpzilla and the vulgarian wave of vengeance he is leading.
The Militia of the Several States, which is our Constitutional enforcement mechanism, hasn't existed since 1903. Our free markets have been replaced by corporatism; our sound money was replaced for debt-money in 1913; since the 70s we've been ruled by oligarchs under the pretext of 'emergency powers'; and the American national interest has been obliterated for neo-feudal globalism. Yet we do not revolt because the oligarchs permit us to participate in elections between two pre-selected canned-idiots. We've been immersed in Cultural Marxism so long that we lay the blame on the 'other' side while globalists erase our national sovereignty. In a rigged scheme voting is merely giving legitimacy to tyranny. It's fixed; break it!
This has nothing to do with ideology, policy, substance or even an electoral process, or any candidate or party, not even Donald Trump. This is the last peaceful option to dislodge the globalist oligarchs and their sycophants and restore American Nationalism in the hope that liberty may rise once again. Break the rigged system, smash it to pieces. To defeat the lawless hordes of Cultural Marxists, corporatists, oligarchs, kleptocrats, useful idiots and their fellow travelers you MUST CRUSH the globalist progressive-corporatist oligarchs and their canned-idiot meat-puppets on the 'left', 'right' and everywhere...for liberty!

Yorkshire Youth Fight for Jobs Review of 2012
January 25, 2013 Leave a comment
After the success of marking the 75th anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade with the Jarrow March for Jobs 2011, it seemed likely that 2012 might be a quieter year compared to the efforts that went into pulling that event off. However, instead we saw a whole swathe of attacks from the government aimed at young people including attempts to expand the work-for-your-dole schemes, plans to remove housing benefit from under 25s and more, as the government continued its attempts to make ordinary people pay the costs of the economic recession.
Throughout the year Youth Fight for Jobs has sought to build links between youth and trade unions, and have supported workers in struggle. Youth Fight for Jobs activists have visited picket lines to numerous to mention over the course of the year, as well as attending other lobbies and protests all over the Yorkshire & Humber region. We have also continued to help build the Yorkshire & Humber TUC Youth Forum, including organising a successful joint end of year gig in Leeds. As ever we have spoken at a number of trade union branches and trades councils over the course of the year, including York Trades Council, Bradford Trades Council, Leeds GMB Civic branch, North Yorkshire Police Unison to list a few.
We have also initiated our own campaigning on a number of issues throughout the region. In February and March we took the lead in organising protests over workfare in Yorkshire, with protests organised in Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and Wakefield. We also have run Bring Back EMA campaigns in York and Sheffield, a demonstration over lack of investment in jobs and sports facilities in Huddersfield in the run up to the Olympics and a Young Tenants Fightback campaign in Leeds over poor quality private sector accomodation and rent levels. Additionally we have organised a number of awareness and fundraising gigs in Huddersfield and York.
We have also featured quite widely in the media with a feature interview with Iain Dalton appearing on the Guardian Northerner and in the Morning Star in the run up to the October 20th TUC demonstration. We have also had other local newspaper coverage during the year including over workfare protests and protests outside the Tory local government conference which took place in Leeds. We have also done a large number of radio interviews over issues such as housing, EMA and workfare, including debates with Tory MPs and Tax Payers Alliance spokespeople.
Into 2013
No doubt Youth Fight for Jobs will be just as busy this year. Already we are planning the hand-in of our over 1,000 strong petition calling for the re-introduction of EMA to York City Council. Given the growing problem of under-employment, we will be exploring launching campaign initiatives around this issue which mostly affects young workers. We are also looking to launch the book we have produced chronicling the Jarrow March for Jobs 2011 in the region, and would happily send Jarrow marchers to speak at union meetings or AGMs or speakers about any other aspects of our campaigning work.

It was a rough season for Florida State, having to deal with academic fraud & player suspensions & Jenn Sterger jumping off the bandwagon. But the Seminoles have come up with a cure - start off 2008 against not one, but two I-AA opponents.
The ORLANDO SENTINEL reports that FSU will begin next year's slate with two home games against Western Carolina and Chattanooga. Both teams hail from the Southern Conference, home of Michigan-mashing Appalachian State. But don't expect any similar miracles from the Catamounts & Mocs, who went a combined 3-21 last year. (Great nicknames, though.)
The soft slate is a change of pace from the usual early-season tests scheduled by the Seminoles. In last season's opener, Bobby Bowden's boys lost to son Terry's Clemson squad 24-18 on Labor Day, while FSU's two previous season starts saw victories against the Miami Hurricanes.
Bowden tries to explain the change of plans: "We had to give up a Monday night game, which I hated to give up because of the (lost) exposure. But there's no way we would be ready to play a ranked team at that time."
What, were all the Sun Belt teams locked up? Would it have been so hard to get a lower-tier 1-A school like Louisiana-Monroe to show up at Doak Campbell Stadium?
On second thought, never mind.

Have you ever planted roses? They are one of the most revered garden choices the world over. A short visit to our own Tyrrell Park Rose Garden will demonstrate just how well roses can grow here.
The charming old book "The Pleasures of Gardening" by Angela Stanford gives some fun history of the rose. Egyptian roses were shipped to Rome when the Italian roses were out of bloom. On Nero's order, millions of rose petals were strewn in the streets during festivals.
August is right here upon us, and that is normally the month when all sorts of outdoor activity is either happening or right around the corner.
Webster's dictionary defines the word "burlesque" as theatrical entertainment of a broadly humorous often earthy character consisting of short turns, comic skits, and sometimes striptease acts. The term actually dates back to the 16th century when Italian poet Francesco Berni used it in the title of a work called Opere burlesche.
The Kottonmouth Kings are back for a their 18th studio project — Sunrise Sessions. 18th you say? Yep. This group has been going strong since the early 90's and that shows a big commitment from not only the group itself, but a strong and loyal fan base.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Chocolate brownies have mint cookie pieces throughout them, and then are topped with a mint frosting in these Mint Cookies and Cream Brownies.
My husband and I are not the best planners when it comes to Christmas. And when I say not the best planners, it means that we usually wait until the week before Christmas to even do any shopping – and at that point, we are running around, just grabbing whatever we can find in the stores. It's a good thing our kids are young and aren't too picky about what they want. Or at least if they are, they are easily swayed into "wanting" something else.
It's definitely not the best way to handle things. And every year, I promise myself that I will be more on top of it. I did order a few things ahead of time this year, but yep – waited until the last minute for the majority of the things. But as of last night, besides a gift my husband will pick up on his way home from work today, we are done. It may be less than a week until Christmas, but I guess this is better than Chrismtas Eve, right?? 😉
What I needed when I got home from shopping last night, though, was a big plate of these Mint Cookies and Cream Brownies. I think anyone that braves the stores this close to Christmas, and then comes home with a nearly empty bank account deserves a big plate of these brownies. I actually made these back in August, but it's actually fitting that I waited until now to share them with you, because they are festive and perfect for the holiday season.
Now, mint brownies are quite popular around my parts. But these are a little bit different than the ones that were served at every function I went to back when I was single. (I tell ya – they really like mint brownies here!!) The base of this brownie is a little more tender, a little more cake-like than a dense, fudgy brownie. But it pairs so well with the mint cookies that run throughout them and the mint frosting. And while I'm normally a fudgy brownie kind of girl, these were a welcome and delicious change.
Now I just need to get someone to wrap all those presents. I wonder if I could convince someone if brownies were involved???
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1½ cups chocolate syrup
- 1 cup flour
- 6 mint cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ¼ teaspoon mint extract
- Green food coloring, optional
- Additional crushed mint cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time. Add in the chocolate syrup, then the flour, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chopped cookies.
- Pour the mixture into the greased pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the brownies completely.
- To make the frosting, cream together the butter and the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the extract and the food coloring, if using. Frost the brownies with the frosting, then sprinkle with crushed cookies.

King Cotton
|This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (December 2015)
King Cotton was a slogan summarizing the strategy used during the American Civil War by the Confederacy to show that secession was feasible and there was no need to fear a war by the United States. The idea was that control over cotton exports would make an independent Confederacy economically prosperous, ruin the textile industry of New England, and—most importantly—would force Great Britain and perhaps France to support the Confederacy militarily because their industrial economies depended on Southern cotton. The slogan was widely believed throughout the South and helped in mobilizing support for secession: by February 1861, the seven states whose economies were based on cotton plantations had all seceded and formed the Confederacy (C.S.A.). Meanwhile, the other eight slave states, with little or no cotton production, remained in the Union.
To demonstrate the power of King Cotton, Southern cotton merchants spontaneously refused to ship out their cotton in early 1861; it was not a government decision. By summer 1861, the Union Navy blockaded every major Confederate port and shut down over 95% of exports. Since the British mills had large stockpiles of cotton, they were not immediately injured by the boycott; indeed the value of their stockpiles soared. For Britain to intervene meant war with the U.S. and a cutoff of food supplies. About one fourth of Britain's food supplies came from United States, and American warships could destroy much of British commerce, while the Royal Navy was convoying ships full of cotton. The British never believed in King Cotton, and they never intervened. Consequently, the strategy proved a failure for the Confederacy — King Cotton did not help the new nation, but the spontaneous blockade caused the loss of desperately needed gold. Most important, the false belief led to unrealistic assumptions that the war would be won by European intervention if only the Confederacy held out long enough.[1]
The American South is known for its long, hot summers, and rich soils in river valleys making it an ideal location for growing cotton. By 1860, Southern plantations supplied 75% of the world's cotton, with shipments from Houston, New Orleans, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, and a few other ports.[2]
The insatiable European demand for cotton was a result of the Industrial Revolution which created the machinery and factories to process raw cotton into clothing that was better and cheaper than hand-made product. European and New England purchases soared from 720,000 bales in 1830, to 2.85 million bales in 1850, to nearly 5 million in 1860. Cotton production renewed the need for slavery after the tobacco market declined in the late 18th century. The more cotton grown, the more slaves were needed to pick the crop. By 1860, on the eve of the American Civil War, cotton accounted for almost 60% of American exports, representing a total value of nearly $200 million a year.
Cotton's central place in the national economy and its international importance led Senator James Henry Hammond of South Carolina to make a famous boast in 1858:
Without firing a gun, without drawing a sword, should they make war on us, we could bring the whole world to our feet... What would happen if no cotton was furnished for three years?... England would topple headlong and carry the whole civilized world with her save the South. No, you dare not to make war on cotton. No power on the earth dares to make war upon it. Cotton is King.[3]
Confederate leaders made little effort to ascertain the views of European industrialists or diplomats until the Confederacy sent diplomats James Mason and John Slidell in November 1861. That led to a diplomatic blowup in the Trent Affair.[4]
British position[edit]
When war broke out, the Confederate people, acting spontaneously without government direction, held their cotton at home, watching prices soar and economic crisis hit Britain and New England, causing a backlash with British public opinion. Even if Britain did intervene, it would mean war with the United States, as well as loss of the American market, loss of American grain supplies, risk to Canada, and much of the British merchant marine, all in the slim promise of getting more cotton.[5] Besides that, in the spring of 1861, warehouses in Europe were bulging with surplus cotton—which soared in price. So the cotton interests made their profits without a war.[6] The Union imposed a blockade, closing all Confederate ports to normal traffic; consequently, the South was unable to move 95% of its cotton. Yet, some cotton was slipped out by blockade runner, or through Mexico. Cotton diplomacy, advocated by the Confederate diplomats James M. Mason and John Slidell, completely failed because the Confederacy could not deliver its cotton, and the British economy was robust enough to absorb a depression in textiles from 1862–64.
As Union armies moved into cotton regions of the South in 1862, the U.S. acquired all the cotton available, and sent it to Northern textile mills or sold it to Europe. Cotton production increased in India by a factor of 70% and also increased in Egypt.
When war broke out, the Confederates refused to allow the export of cotton to Europe. The idea was that this cotton diplomacy would force Europe to intervene. However, European states did not intervene, and following Abraham Lincoln's decision to impose a Union blockade, the South was unable to market its millions of bales of cotton. The production of cotton increased in other parts of the world, such as India and Egypt, to meet the demand, and new profits in cotton was among the motives of the Russian conquest of Central Asia. A British-owned newspaper, The Standard of Buenos Aires, in cooperation with the Manchester Cotton Supply Association succeeded in encouraging Argentinian farmers to drastically increase production of cotton in that country and export it to the United Kingdom.[7]
Surdam (1998) asks, "Did the world demand for American-grown raw cotton fall during the 1860s, even though total demand for cotton increased?" Previous researchers have asserted that the South faced stagnating or falling demand for its cotton. Surdam's more complete model of the world market for cotton, combined with additional data, shows that the reduction in the supply of American-grown cotton induced by the Civil War distorts previous estimates of the state of demand for cotton. In the absence of the drastic disruption in the supply of American-grown cotton, the world demand for such cotton would have remained strong.
Lebergott (1983) shows the South blundered during the war because it clung too long to faith in King Cotton. Because the South's long-range goal was a world monopoly of cotton, it devoted valuable land and slave labor to growing cotton instead of urgently needed foodstuffs.
In the end, "King Cotton" proved to be a delusion that misled the Confederacy into a hopeless war that it ended up losing.[8][9]

You can make your own using a stable, lightweight Linux distro with a small window manager.
CentOS would be a good choice due to it having a very long life cycle (it's based on Red Hat, and thus follows its life cycle; maintainance updates for CentOS 6 end in 2020); other options would be an LTS version of Ubuntu (but replacing Unity with XFCE or Fluxbox, for example), or Arch Linux.
Either one would work to run VirtualBox; if you use VMware, you probably don't want Arch, as VMware often doesn't works or has problems with new kernel versions.
If you just want to use windows 7, then use Boot from VHD (Windows 7 Ultimate/ENT only)
Boot from VHD is a new technique for installing and maintaining operating system environments. Unlike virtual machines, the operating system that is running from a "boot from VHD" environment is using the actual hardware instead of emulated hardware.
Instead of dual booting (installing different OS on different partitions) or running multiple OS's at the same time with virtual machines you use a VHD. You choose which OS to start on boot.
You can use linux with VHD (not sure, I have not tried it myself... maybe) Can I boot Linux from a VHD?

A spiritual crisis is when someone's identity, purposes, values, attitudes, goals, or beliefs, are drastically challenged, often by unforeseen events. This results in upheaval and a dramatic change in focus in their lives. It may or may not involve a mystical spiritual experience, and it may or may not trigger a mystical spiritual experience.
Fat is not a feeling, thanks Facebook!
"Fat," is indeed not a feeling, anymore than "skinny" is a feeling. The capacity for the human mind to contort, twist, delete, and generalize thought until we reach unbearable suffering continues to amaze me. That is what suffering is, the degeneration of thinking, unnoticed, uninterrupted. Yet still, thinking has nothing to do with what is, and what is never hurts,
The Awakening Power of Love and Joy
VIDEO: Cindy shares how suffering was suddenly transformed into and by love and joy, altering her life, and leading to a "direct seeing" in the woods. She describes how love and joy can be used to detach from needing or wanting worldy things, people, or events, and if pursued further, can lead to a direct recognition of Truth.
What is the ego?
There is only you, so what is it that you are actually seeing, knowing, hearing or sensing that you are imaging to be ego? Catch glimpse of it's true identity and you will recognize yourself.
Proof that suffering is imagination
Proof that suffering is imagination–and the power of belief to elicit illusion, which leads to suffering. Suffering is optional because it is based on illusion.
The True Source of Love
VIDEO: Cindy addresses the limitation of love relationships, soulmates, the true source of love, the reality/unreality of the world via separation, who you think you are, three powers you were born with, fear of a future interview, the suffering of imagination, the happiness lie, suffering after someone's death, the nature of thought, fear being unnecessary, daily death of the thinking mind.
Suicide, Love, Joy, and God
Cindy highlights how happenstance happiness, or object happiness, is temporary, while inner joy, peace, and love never sway, no matter what goes on in life. In this way, it is eternal and Divine. But the radio host asks… "Is the joy you speak about self-centred? Listen to her answer now.
Ottawa Author tackles mental health problem with free workshops
Her father's suicide led her on a quest to find an end to suffering, and resulted in her being gifted "mind-blowing" joy and inner peace. She was overwhelmed with gratitude and a desire to share. Now her life's work is to help others end the stress, anxiety, depression, and drug use before they lead to suicide.
Suicide called 'large public health problem' by WHO
…the World Health Organization (WHO) just announced it as such in this article. Now there are articles appearing with the idea that Robin's suicide was "spontaneous" and not "premeditated" as if that somehow makes it better, or as if there is some version of suicide that is worse or better than another, or worse yet, that some suicidal people are worse than others.
Why Fighting to Feel Good Fails
In this free audio, Cindy and the Client discuss: Why Fighting to Feel Good Fails, What to do about troublesome thoughts, Where do thoughts come from? What is "space" around a thought? Not using your power of Interest. A non-relationship to thought, Doing not doing. The effortlessness of Being. Your Power of Discernment. How thoughts downward cycle…and more!
