Google Now launcher enables auto rotate, forces single icon size
If you use Google Now launcher, you may have noticed that there is no option that can enable auto rotation. While this is not a problem when you are holding the device in portrait mode, it obviously makes landscape mode quite inconvenient at times.
The problem is that the launcher does not follow the Android-wide setting for auto rotation, and instead sticks to displaying everything in portrait mode. However, with a new update, that can now be changed.
5 things for which Google can give thanks
Another Thanksgiving is upon us, as Americans stuff their bellies with turkey and vittles, before falling asleep during the afternoon football game. It's the day of family feuds, too much food, and setting the mood for the holiday season ahead.
We also count our blessings and give thanks for the year behind. I got to wondering what Google can be grateful for and compiled a short list for you. Perhaps you would like to add to it in comments or lash out at my lack of sensitivity on this special day. Please do. With that brief introduction, I present 5 things for which Google can give thanks, served in no particular order of importance.
Microsoft releases Cortana to Android as public beta
Microsoft's Cortana is now officially available on Android. The company announced earlier this year that it would release its digital voice assistant to Android and iOS later this year. Prior to the official release, a private Android beta of Cortana leaked this July. Today the company releases a public beta client of Cortana for devices powered by Google's mobile operating system.
In case you've used Cortana on a Windows Phone handset before, it wouldn't take much time to get settled with it on Android. It maintains the same interface and functionalities. In case you haven't used it before, Cortana is Microsoft's answer to Google's Google Now assistant. You can use Cortana to ask for directions, and get your queries answered, among other things.
The difference between Apple Watch and Android Wear
This week, I had opportunity to use Apple Watch, making it third of the modern smart variety that I have experienced (the others being LG Urbane and Moto 360). The differences between the platforms are quite startling and worth highlighting. They begin with diverging design ethics derived from the fruit-logo company's app-centric heritage and Google's place in the cloud.
For people who use either Android handset or iPhone, existing device really determines what watch platform you choose, if any—that is for now. Down the path you go. But where it leads is somewhere else, not the same destination. One platform is more responsive to you in varying contextual situations. The other requires more direct interaction, but gives other benefits.
Google Now on tap: PageRank for apps
Google's implementation of the PageRank algorithm was a transformational moment for the desktop web. In the pre-PageRank era, scouring search directories for relevant websites and manually typing long URLs into a browser's address bar was common. Google's use of links as a "voting" system for discovering websites changed online discovery forever. The app interaction and discovery model prevalent today bears many similarities with the pre-PageRank era of the web, with apps listed under numerous app store categories. Google's Now on Tap may usher in the very "PageRank for Apps" era we have been waiting for.
Before diving into the importance of Now on Tap, let's take a look at how Google describes the service:
Apple hits Google where it hurts
I have some advice for the European Union Competition Commission: Lay off. You don't need to reign in the Google monopoly. Apple will correct the market around search and mobile. That's one of two related takeaways from Monday's WWDC 2015 keynote. iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan up Apple's push into search and proactively-delivered information in big ways. That is if delivery is as good as the company promises.
The other takeaway harkens back to what I told you last week about Tim Cook's piracy rant against unnamed Facebook and Google alongside the friggin U.S. government -- plural if thinking beyond the Feds: It's BS marketing. Apple prepares a major competitive assault against Big G, hitting where damage can be severe: Perception and profits. I cannot overstate Google's vulnerability, which ironically is where the search and information giant exploited Microsoft during this Century.
Nexus 6 is amazing [Review]
When isn't a cell phone too big? The Motorola-made, Google-branded phablet answers that question for me, and may very well for you. From Samsung's introduction of the original Note, I scoffed at large-screen smartphones—and, honestly, the seemingly stereotypical gadget geeks using them. But big is better, and my arrogant attitude about phablets and the people buying them was unwarranted.
Simply stated: Nexus 6 is the best handset I have ever used. The experience is so fresh and delightful, the emotional reaction reminds of using the original iPhone that I purchased on launch day in June 2007. N6 shatters my negative preconception about phablets, particularly unwieldiness when used daily. That said, I made some lifestyle changes, including choice of clothing, to accommodate the mobile's massive size.
Google Now for Android becomes more useful, now feeds information from third-party apps
Google has long been devising new ways to boost engagement on its services. In its latest move, the Mountain View-based technology giant updates Google Now, its contextual search trump card, to add support for third-party apps.
In a blog post, the company notes that it has partnered with more than 40 popular apps including Ebay, Pandora, Runtastic, Ford, ICICI Bank, Shazam, and others to feed information from them on to the Google Now dashboard. You can check the full-list of apps and services here.
Tech That Changed Your Life in 2014
Three weeks ago I asked "What tech changed your life in 2014?" You answered here and on Google+. As the new year starts, I wonder what will make all our lives better. Apple Watch? I doubt it. Shake me awake from the nightmare if the wearable isn't the most successful flop of 2015. Windows 10? Skipping nine is a good sign, but is giving users more of what they don't want to let go life changing? Eh, no.
At the precipice of looking ahead, this is a last look behind. Once Consumer Electronics Show leaks and early announcements rush the InterWebs, all eyes will turn forward -- blind to what many people have, focusing on what they want instead. That's because "aspiration" is the defining word of the technology era, and the promise if you buy newfangled This or That your life will be better for it. Sometimes the promise is true, but too often not, which is why I asked the important question three weeks ago.
Google says American teens love voice search -- some use it in the bathroom
Google voice search is awesome; I use it every day in the car or at home. If I want to know the weather, I just ask and it tells me. It helps me find the phone numbers for my favorite pizzerias and Chinese food restaurants, and when I am lost, I just say "take me home" and it does!
Like I said, it is awesome, but apparently, teens are using it more than adults. According to a new Google study, 55 percent of teens in the USA are using voice search; these young people are often the barometers of the next big thing. The search giant should be elated that this important demographic is embracing voice search; however, the study does not only include Google, but also Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana.
13 things for which Google gives thanks
U.S. Thanksgiving Day comes late this year for retailers, but makes more time for Google to count its blessings and to offer gratitude for them. Oh, they are bountiful, and there is still another month of them to come. The year 2013 will be remembered as one of the finest in Google history. The company has so much to be thankful for, I could have trebled the list.
But for succinctness, I whittle down to those things that mean more than others or that otherwise would be overlooked in the typical yearly review. The list goes from that for which Google should be least thankful to most. Gobble. Gobble.
Steve Ballmer is right, and I was wrong
Steve Ballmer's departure from Microsoft will be a series of epitaphs written over the coming months. Many arm-chair pundits and analysts will scrutinize his 13-year tenure as chief executive, and you can expect him to be the scapegoat for all things wrong with Microsoft. Most assuredly, Ballmer could have done many things better, but he also contended with forces out of his control: government oversight for anti-competitive practices conducted under predecessor Bill Gates' leadership; maturing PC software market; and rise of the Internet as the new computing hub, among others.
For all Microsoft's CEO might have done wrong, he was right about something dismissed by many -- and I among them: Google. Ballmer started treating the search and information company as a competitive threat about a decade ago. Google as Microsoft competitor seemed simply nuts in 2003. How could search threaten Windows, particularly when anyone could type a new web address to change providers? Ballmer was obsessed, chasing every Google maneuver, often to a fault. Execution could have been better, but his perception was right.
Nexus 7 wins, iPad mini loses
Rest in peace, iPad mini. Google killed you. The question then: Is it murder or manslaughter -- or justified homicide, putting the Apple tablet out of our misery?
Three days using the new Nexus 7, I can't imagine why Apple let Google, and partner ASUS, seize back-to-school buying with the tablet. I don't refer just to the instrument of destruction but the means. The 2013 edition is widely available through major US retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy. By all indications there is inventory to meet demand, not the typical supply shortages, although the 32GB WiFi model is unavailable this weekend from many retailers -- but Google Play is stocked.
Google Now invades iOS
During the 1980s and 90s, Microsoft embarked on what the U.S. Justice Department refers to as an "embrace, extend and extinguish" strategy. Google revises the approach for the new century, but out of necessity. Many of its products or services entered categories where others dominated, such as email, operating systems, productivity suites and web browsers. The company's business is long about co-opting other platforms, everything from desktop search app for Windows to Google Frame for Internet Explorer, and more.
But there's nothing quite like Google's recent invasion of iOS, where many of the apps are even better than Apple's. Today, a new search app brings one of Android's best features, Google Now, to iPad and iPhone. There's irony here, too. On Android, the feature is only available on Jelly Bean, which makes up about 25 percent of the install base. The majority of Apple mobile device users are on iOS 6, and the app supports version 5, too. In short order then, depending on installations, a greater percentage of iPads and iPhones than Androids may have Google Now.
Google Q1 2013 by the numbers: $13.97B revenue, $9.94 EPS
Google may be a company of many personalities -- browser and operating system developer, connected-device manufacturer, fiber-optic Internet servicer, search giant and social network, among many others. But the core business is still about one thing: Advertising, as calendar first quarter results, delivered today after the closing bell, show.
Revenue rose 31 percent to $$13.97 billion, year over year; operating income, excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs, was $3.48 billion, up from $3.39 billion. Net income climbed to 3.35 billion up from $2.89 billion. That's $9.94 earnings per share, including costs associated with discontinued operations.

General Comments
I had an R5 Dual which I found to be quite a reliable club but still tended to slice the ball. I tried a Cleveland High Bore and hated it, i couldn't keep the ball on fairways, so i decided to go back to Taylormade and managed to find the TaylorMade R7 SuperQuad for a good price so snapped it up quickly. It is easier to set up for a draw and instantly got rid of my slice hittingevery fairway that i have used it on and probably driving 40-50 yards longer than the previous clubs. I would recommend this club to anyone.

As Sierra Leone prepares for its third postwar presidential and parliamentary elections, what is at stake for the country?
On Saturday, Sierra Leone will hold its third presidential, parliamentary and local elections since civil war ended a decade ago. The outcome is expected to hinge on a close-fought contest between the ruling All People's Congress (APC), for whom President Ernest Bai Koroma is seeking a second term, and the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), led by Julius Maada Bio.
What's at stake?
A decade of postwar peacebuilding and development. Sierra Leone has made huge strides over the past decade, but major challenges remain. Once styled "the Athens of west Africa", it is now one of the world's poorest states, ranking 180th of the 187 countries in the UN's human development index. According to the UN, more than 70% of the population still lives on less than $1.25 a day, while rural poverty was recently estimated at 78% (pdf). A cholera outbreak this year claimed at least 259 lives (pdf), highlighting the shortcomings of a health system that has the world's 12th-highest infant mortality rate and in which [view whole blog post ]

I want to plese that booty 2.
I love this parody on shaft. Strawbeery clock is cooler then sahaft.
Loved how you took on shaft and used strawberry as shaft himself and changed the song to suite him, i myself have not even seen the tv show or the movie they made a couple of years ago so this was really my first view of the show to be honest. I thought that you had included all the elements of the average police drama, i like the way you animated the scenes out too, there was never any dead air.
(Hamy_jamy isn't even suppose to be here today)
+Hey guys this one's good,but,what the f+ck you mean with the weird B?
Ha ha ha
lol this was pretty funny, i expected no less from the clock crew. But you guys need to make more movies, these crew posers are mucking up your style.

Tuition levels these days are constantly rising. I am currently enrolled in college and the tuition cost is definitely a burden when trying to study and keep your grades up. If the tuition cost were cheaper, then studying for classes while working would be easier to manage. The constantly rising tuition cost makes it harder for independent students to maintain their education at a university.
The Oct. 31 Columbian story "WA prepaid tuition opens for new enrollment" states how today's newborns will pay more than $150,000 for four years of tuition for 2029.
Constantly increasing tuition fees will make it almost impossible for students and parents to finance their way through school without having massive amounts of debt.
America has a history of having outstanding debt throughout the years but this burden should not be forced upon taxpaying parents or students.

This review is from: ZALMAN F4 135mm Case Fan
Pros: This fan has really got the balls of a 140mm fan and at its highest rpm it really is near silent.
Cons: Doesn't fit in some 120mm mounting spots, so buyer beware.
Other Thoughts: I had the opportunity to review this product before it was released and these fans are a great fit for water cooling radiators.
Did you find this review helpful?
Nice fan, very quiet, strange mounting holes
This review is from: ZALMAN F4 135mm Case Fan
Pros: This is a very nice fan. It is whisper quiet and pushes alot of air. It also includes silicone mounting plugs to help reduce vibration.
Cons: I didn't read the full description for this fan before buying it. The mounting holes are for a 120mm fan. This took me by surprise when I got this, although I made it work anyway. This fan is meant to go where a 120mm fan would normally go. Be warned! (not really a con, because it says it right in the description)

Disney's "Frozen," more a charming snow flurry than an avalanche of storytelling strengths, might or might not receive an Oscar nomination for animated feature. But it will almost certainly be in the running for a Tony Award or two, as a live-action adaptation for the stage, in a few years.
If ever a family movie seemed designed for efficient retooling into a spectacular Broadway musical, "Frozen" is it — with its fablelike premise (loosely inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen") full of unexplored potential, including a love triangle, two damsels in distress, a funny sidekick (a little snowman cleverly voiced by Josh Gad) and a batch of full-throated songs (cowritten by "The Book of Mormon's" Robert Lopez).
So why couldn't "Frozen," the movie, be that good right now? It doesn't deliver the real goods, eschewing a deepening, psychologically penetrating narrative for a "Frozen"-like, shapeless succession of eye-popping set pieces and impressive effects.
Despite all its lost opportunities, "Frozen" has much to recommend it — albeit lightly. The film opens with real promise when royal Scandinavian sisters Anna (voiced as an adult by Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) are forcibly separated because future queen Elsa can't control her "X-Men"-like power to freeze anything and everything.

Most Read Stories
With a bond of sisterhood painfully interrupted, Elsa escapes to solitary exile rather than destroy the kingdom she's meant to rule. A determined Anna sets out to find her, leaving her slick fiancé (Santino Fontana) to run things and hiring a rugged goof of a mountain man (Jonathan Groff) to help her.
From there, "Frozen" becomes a string of how-can-we-top-that-last-scene action product, linked by a thin adventure yet lacking organic purpose. While it is an often gorgeous film with computer-generated fjords and ice sculptures and castle interiors, the important thing that glues all this stuff together — story — is sadly lacking.

If a waiter served you a whole fish and a scoop of chocolate ice cream on the same plate, your surprise might be caused by the juxtaposition, or the side-by-side contrast, of the two foods.
Any time unlike things bump up against each other, you can describe it as a juxtaposition. Imagine a funeral mourner telling jokes graveside, and you get the idea — the juxtaposition in this case is between grief and humor. Juxtaposition of two contrasting items is often done deliberately in writing, music, or art — in order to highlight their differences.
Definitions of juxtaposition
n the act of positioning close together (or side by side)
"it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors"
- Synonyms:
- apposition, collocation
- Types:
the careful juxtaposition of shapes in a pattern
- Type of:
emplacement, locating, location, placement, position, positioning
the act of putting something in a certain place

While making these I was a little worried about my batter as it seemed quite soft - more like a cake batter than a cokie dough. A night chilling and the dough firmed up quite a bit and was very easy to work with. I made smaller cookies so my yield was more than 60 cookies. To maintain the firmness of the dough, I kept it chilled between scooping each tray. The results were absolutely fantastic cookies. Deep and intense chocolate flavor; a light crispy exterior with a soft chewy center. Not too sweet but rich, rich, rich. These are more than a dream, they are chcolate nirvana. I used the holiday edition white chocolate chips (with red and green stripes), doting a few on the tops of the batter to make sure they would pop out on the top of each cookie. I absolutely loved them and my real concern is not the result but how much nibbling I might do before the holidays trays were made. Thanks Kitten.

Amazon.com Review
About This Edition
From the Publisher
New Features
- New introductory chapter. Chapter 1, "Introduction to This Book, to College Writing, and to Thinking About Thinking," shows users how they can take best advantage of the text and its features. For instance, the chapter includes a series of 15 "Short Takes" that forecast the modular organization of the text and serve as a reference tool for locating extended topical discussions throughout the text.
- New "Toolkit" chapters. The extraordinary Writing Analytically heuristics are now divided into two "Toolkits of Analytical Methods" chapters. The first "Toolkit" chapter (Chapter 2) equips the user with foundational observation techniques, while the second (Chapter 4) provides activities that allow the user to extend and deepen his analysis.
- Revised Chapter 3, "Analysis." This chapter maintains its focus on the "Five Analytical" moves and now also includes discussion of the counterproductive habits of mind that often supplant effective analysis. There is a new example of the application of the "Five Analytical" moves to a Harvard University commencement speech. New "Try This" exercises are included in "Description," "Inferring Implications from Observations," and "Applying the Five Analytical Moves to a Speech." The chapter has new user writing examples from users of Biology, History, and English, and a professional writing from Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
- Newly revised and expanded chapter on reading. Moved forward in the sixth edition, this chapter offers a more developed presentation of "How to Read" with a new "Try This" exercise called "Writing and Reading with Others." New examples of user writing in this chapter include responses to David Bartholomae's "Inventing the University" essay. The reading chapter now has a new section on analyzing an audience and specific application of Uncovering Assumptions and Reformulating Binaries heuristics to Christopher Borick's essay, "On Political Labels." The chapter also has a new "Voices form Across the Curriculum" section on critical reading, from a music Instructor's point of view.
- New Chapter 6, "Interpretation and Argument. Combining the prior edition's chapters on Interpretation and Argument, this single, integrated chapter now illustrates how to make plausible claims and take reasonable positions.
- Expanded discussion of the thesis statement. Newly revised Unit II sequences two chapters on the Thesis Statement so that a user can study what makes a good thesis (Chapter 10) and then study a chapter about how to fix thesis statements (Chapter 11) that could be made more effective. These thesis chapters also contain new examples of user writing.
- Integrated "Voices From Across the Curriculum" sections. These sections are now integrated throughout the text to more clearly illustrate the connections between writing and various academic disciplines.
Additional Features:
- In this book, the authors also show users what not to do, using the premise that users have a hard time developing new skills until they've come to understand what is counterproductive about their current practice.
- This book advocates locating observation as a separate phase of thinking before committing to a thesis. As writers and thinkers, we all need to slow down--to dwell longer in the open-ended, exploratory, information-gathering stage. So, the text supplies tasks for each phase of the writing and idea-generating process: making observations, inferring implications, and making the leap to possible conclusions.
- To make the book's arguments and advice clearer, easier to find, and more clearly incremental, the sixth edition of Writing Analytically is streamlined and organized into three units: (I) The Analytical Frame of Mind; (II) Writing Analytical Papers: How to Use Evidence, Evolve Claims, and Converse with Sources; and (III) Matters of Form: The Shapes that Thought Takes.
- Writing Analytically (Sixth Edition) centers on the concept of writing to learn: the idea that writing can facilitate and enrich users' understanding of their academic courses, and of their lives.

About the Author
Jill Stephen teaches at Muhlenberg College, a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania, where she's been since the late 1980s. Along with David Rosenwasser, she created and implemented the Writing Across the Curriculum program there through a series of faculty seminars. In these seminars, they discovered that content faculty from across the disciplines, although they maintained disciplinary-specific writing protocols, essentially wanted the same thing from student writing: analysis. From this premise, their textbook, Writing Analytically, was born. Stephen worked in the expository writing program at New York University under Lil Brannon and Cy Knoblauch. She received her B.A. from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and received her Ph.D. from NYU on rhetorical theory as evidenced in Renaissance poetry and prose. Aside from her writing with Rosenwasser on composition and writing program administration, she writes on poetry, especially Renaissance lyrics. Her current interests include the poetry of Frank O'Hara, Emily Dickinson, and contemporary Irish women writers.

when i start my car up it will run fine until it drops below the 1000 rpm mark and it will start to shake. Once I put it in drive, or reverse, it seems to sputter and jerk, even sometimes stalling. It will fire right back up but it will continue to buck. What's going on here? Fuel injectors, plugs, any quick fix ideas?

Original Message
The 10 Stupidest Things Pat Robertson Ever Said
10) "Lord, give us righteous judges who will not try to legislate and dominate this society. Take control, Lord! We ask for additional vacancies on the court." –Pat Robertson
9) "Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history." –Pat Robertson
8) "I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you, This is not a message of hate -- this is a message of redemption. But a condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor." –Pat Robertson, on "gay days" at Disneyworld
7) "(T)he feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." –Pat Robertson
6) "I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." –Pat Robertson
5) "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there." --Pat Robertson, after the city of Dover, Pennsylvania voted to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial
4) "God considers this land to be his. You read the Bible and he says 'This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, 'No, this is mine.' ... He was dividing God's land. And I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations, or the United States of America.' God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" --Pat Robertson, on why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke
3) "Maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up" –Pat Robertson, on nuking the State Department
2) "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with." –Pat Robertson, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
1) "Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. Haitians were originally under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other." –Pat Robertson, on the earthquake in Haiti that destroyed the capital and killed tens of thousands of people, Jan. 13, 2010

It was a rough start for the LBJ Wolves softball team as they fell behind 8-0 after only three innings. They'd get on the board thanks to an inside-the-park home run from Tania Castro, one of two on the night for her, but it wasn't enough as LBJ is ten-runned by district leader Eagle Pass 14-4.

Practicing Internal Balance
Internal balance comes from honoring ourselves by listening to our internal response system with a willingness to address internal upset and unrest. Life situations can throw curve balls in an instant. One moment we are moving through the day with predictability and pattern; the next moment can change the course of our day in the blink of an eye.
It is important to know our patterns and tendencies in times of stress. Retreating is one reaction to feeling upset; though it is common it does not help us deal effectively with life situations. A fighting and/or yelling reaction may release energy but does little to problem solve an issue.
It is wise to ask ourselves, why did this situation cause me to feel upset? Acknowledging an embarrassment, disappointment, or loss can help us better understand the emotions we feel. By acknowledging emotions we can begin to process them with some clarity and gain distance from emotional energies.
When an important relationship is at stake, it is wise to calm down and process before responding and interacting with that person. It is wise to say something like, "I do want to discuss this and I value both you and our relationship. Right now I am upset and want to wait until I have calmed down before we discuss things." That type of response honors and respects both members in the relationship, but clearly states an intention to work on the relationship for good.
Honesty when speaking is essential in a good relationship. It is wise and important to respectfully speak thoughts and feelings. Relationship balance comes from both people being able to express themselves and listening well to the other, and not minding who gets the credit for the outcome.
Addressing internal signals allows our system to process through emotions and situations. Emotions take a great deal of our energy, by addressing our internal signals we can spend our best energy focusing on things of value to us, rather than using more and more of our energy resources on the upset.
Working with you to bring out the best in each other, I wish you well.

Sometimes in the midst of life I long for stillness, a moment to rest and get off the main street of life. I appreciate that longing; it is really a beacon call to restore myself, to reflect on my path and realign myself, my heart, to where I really want to be.
Busyness leads us off the main path of our lives and onto a side road we were not meant to travel. Stepping off of Main Street and onto a quiet cul de sac allows us to breathe, rest, and then reflect on our journey.
Stillness allows us to breathe in inner peace and experience the treasure of who we are meant to be. It's what happens and allows us to remember each of us is here for a purpose. We get to remember we are a treasure. Restoration is what happens when we let go of self-criticism and live believing in our worth and value.
Stillness allows us to redirect the whirling thoughts and take capture of negative thoughts, replacing them with thoughts of gratitude. Peace comes from being still and redirecting, because what changes when we do that is not our circumstance, but our hearts. Rest, reflection, and restoration, can bring about significant change in our lives, a change of heart.
I wish for you to be still today and breathe in the gift of life!

Chronic Behaviors
What responses to your child's behaviors have caused upset in your household?
When children misbehave there are reasons for misbehavior. Parents and teachers often overlook the reason for misbehaviors and treat the action. All behavior is purposeful – a call for love or a need for information.
Consider this common scenario – Your child asks for a cookie and you respond with, "I am making dinner and we are going to eat in 15 minutes. You may not have a cookie." Then your child asks again, and again, eventually evoking a yelling response or giving in with frustration and resignation.
Both of those responses eat away at relationship. What is your child saying to you when asking for the cookie? I am hungry? When is dinner? I don't have anything to do.
If this is a rare occurrence you might consider – was lunch 5 hours ago and no snack? Your child may be genuinely hungry and have reached a limit of tolerance. Could you offer a half glass of milk or juice and set the timer for 15 minutes. That would provide a reasonable interim solution and offer a finite time before the family eats. You can also help pass the time by inviting him to be a part of dinner preparation at an appropriate developmental level. My grandchildren help put the washcloths and bibs on the table along with the spoons.
Regular occurrences may be patterns that have developed and are in need of addressing. Consequences are not the solution for regular patterns of behavior. Problem solving is needed. It might look like this: at a calm time, the parent addresses the issue with, "It seems every day we go through you asking if you can have a cookie before dinner. This is not working for me or for you; we both end up frustrated and upset. What can we do to have a peaceful time for both of us before we sit down to dinner?
Taking the time to problem solve sends a powerful message to your child, "you matter to me and I want to invest in our relationship and your wellbeing. Our relationship is more important than the issue at hand." This line of thinking increases relationship capital and lets your child know his needs matter. It will work to help solve chronic problems and increase the family's sense of wellbeing. It also takes, according to Dr. Becky Bailey at Conscious Discipline, 2,000 teaching messages, in context, to adopt new patterns of behavior. Two thousand times seems almost overwhelming, but consider how many opportunities we encounter in a day and you realize change will begin to take place in about 6 weeks.
I wish you well as you invest in the wellbeing of your family, Judith

If I am upset about others – their manners, their driving, or their stand on something that is me giving my power away to other people or situations. I get to decide whether to react or respond. It is so true that there is a grieving at times of situations and how they affect me. Grief allows me to own how I feel about something, deal with it, and move on into a release. Pain is inevitable, but misery and bitterness is optional. Pain avoided produces misery and bitterness, and deeply affects us and those around us.
Strong reactions are an indicator of what is happening inside of us. What rises up in us as we observe the news, witness an argument, get cut off in traffic? Often we only know a small slice of the entire situation.
Two good questions to ask yourself before responding to a troublesome situation, "Will my response be about me or to help?" and "Will my words bring life to the situation?" Our view is just that, our view; it is only one perspective on any given situation. Recognizing my thoughts for what they are, my thoughts, is an important tool for freedom in our lives and that of other people. Do I respond or react to what is happening around me? Reaction makes it about me and how I feel. Response is empathizing with the situation and wishing well for that person in the moment of their distress. Reaction produces more upset and discomfort, while response produces a peace in our hearts and can be a calming influence for the other person, too.
Wishing you well, Judith
Apr 24
Happiness is not dependent on external events; our happiness is determined by our choices in each situation. Granted it is easier in some cases than others, but I get to decide my internal state. It is our nature to blame external circumstances and things we have no control over. The truth is we are in control of one thing, our attitude. The key on which everything else in our life hinges is our attitude. I find I have to remind myself that my choices also affect those around me. I can make it about me and what I want, or I can make it about loving and relating well to those in my world. When I make it about me, it is often not very nice for the people around me. One question to ask, "What is it like to be around me?" Some things we are aware of, other things we are not. It takes great courage to ask that question.
Wishing you well, Judith

There are times life spins so fast I can't seem to get a grip on anything and can quickly lose touch with a calm and rational perspective. It can feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster; one I do not recall boarding! It happens to all of us; our best laid plans get turned upside down and we find ourselves doing what we can to manage the moment. This week I want to share ideas to help manage those upset moments with self-control and forward movement rather than the first inner reaction to fight or retreat.
First things first, we need to calm down! Dr. Becky Bailey, creator of Conscious Discipline, emphasizes calming ourselves down first before reacting to stressful situations. The PRETZEL, one of my favorite calming techniques, helps us breathe in calm and allow the blood to flow to our brains. Emotional upset heightens the senses and slows down blood flow. Breathing calms the body tensions and opens up blood flow to the higher thinking center of our brain, the frontal lobe. Breathing also allows us to put space between the event and my response.
The PRETZEL
Stand Up – cross your feet maintaining balance.
Place your arms and hands straight out in front of you, turn your hands with their backs facing each other, crossover each other to overlap hands, clasp and bring hands and arms to your chest
Close mouth and place your tongue on the roof of your mouth
Breathe for three minutes in that position; you will be noticeably calmer
Catch this clip on You Tube: The Pretzel
Once we have calmed down, the next, IMPORTANT step is to ask myself "What is going on inside on the inside?" Processing my thoughts and emotions will help me discover the core of my frustrations. Often there are many things happening simultaneously, but one thing in particular seems to occupy most of my emotion and energy. When I can identify that thing it is like an "aha" moment and I can then make an informed decision as to what to do next.
Finding out what it is that's bothering me is the first step; then I explore ideas that would be helpful in resolving the matter. If there is nothing I can do to change the situation; it is me who must make an adjustment. The only person I have any control over, at any given moment, is myself. This important life lesson serves us well when we are dealing with situations out of our control. I cannot control others, but I can control my words and my actions.
Until next time, I wish you well, Judith

Being the Right Person, Doing the Right Thing
There are times I find myself wondering, "How do I handle this situation?" It takes great courage and humility to admit a wrong doing, to ask forgiveness for an offense, or to revisit a decision that was made in haste. One very important thing to consider is not the moment, but long term impact in relationships. It is easy to say to yourself, "I won't do that again, I have learned from this." That is an important first step, but just as important is going to the person or group and acknowledging the mistake and working towards resolution. It is not easy. It is, however, right.
During upset or conflict we can focus on justification of our actions. Rarely does that allow for reconciliation and restored relationship. In addition mistrust develops along with disconnect. As adults we are the role models for our children. How we handle mistakes teaches them, too. And it seems that once a ball is bouncing in the wrong direction it continues to go awry. The wise person considers the long term impact of their actions and the relationships involved by going back to the person and asking, "How did my action affect you?" Group dynamics require the same question, "How did the decision we made affect our constituency?" These powerful questions have the opportunity to reconnect us and if both parties are willing to have a redo of the situation. A great question to ask, "Can we have a redo and start over with this?"
I have lived long enough to know that when trust is lost it takes time to rebuild. But, it cannot be rebuilt if we are not willing to look at ourselves and our part in any misunderstanding. The right thing, asking, "What is my part in this?" is always the first step in being the right person. Making amends to restore trust and relationship is a journey and will take time. Taking those steps is what it takes to be the right person doing the right thing.

Is honesty, saying exactly what is on my mind, always the best policy? All of us have experienced an outburst from someone who is reacting and has not stopped to think – that does not feel good! When do I say what I think and when is it good to hold back?
It is important to acknowledge emotions and feelings; they are telling us something. It is however, not always wise to act on them. One thing to notice when we are upset is our body language and the tone of the thoughts running through our heads. Is my body tense and rigid, perhaps ready to strike a blow, or is my stomach just in knots? Are the thoughts running through my brain thoughts of "I'll show him a thing or two," or "Yeah, well you did this, and this, and this." Those examples are clear signals that it is wise to take a breather and hold off on any type of response.
What I am feeling tells me something important but, before responding it is wise to ask myself why I feel tense or why I want to scream at someone. Feelings are the first indicators of what is first needed before handling an upset. Reacting in the moment is rarely wise and often situations escalate when we do.
Taking time to calm myself down is an important step in handling any situation well. By calming myself with deep breathing, or some other form of relaxation, I increase my oxygen levels and stimulate blood flow to my brain. Calming down also lets me to set some distance between matters, allowing me time to think about my response.
Take a deep breath
In the heat of disagreement that clearly is headed nowhere, it is appropriate to say, "I know we need to talk about this, but right now I am too upset to think calmly and speak in a respectful manner. Let's take a break and we can talk about this when we are both calm." It is hard to argue with logic like that.
When I have calmed down I will be in a much better state to think about moving a situation towards win-win. (Win-win was discussed in the PIC blog on February 20th and 26th). In short, all our thoughts and emotions tell us something and it is wise to listen to them. Unfiltered emotions or thoughts rarely are wise to share. Instead, it is wisdom to view my response through the lens of relationship – how can I work with the other person, respectfully, and grow our relationship through this conflict? If you are a parent this is an excellent time to model and teach this valuable life skill to your children. This kind of modeling will serve them well as they grow and enter into more complex relationships. The good news about conflict is that life provides multiple opportunities for growth and improvement in our relationship skills.

Parenting and Leadership
A couple of weeks ago the Parent Information Center blog provided food for thought when addressing an issue with someone you are in relationship with. This week I want to take a look at addressing issues in a little different light – as a parent or leader. Parents and leaders are called to guide and direct in relational situations and at times it is not appropriate to ask if the person is willing to learn something. It is wise and appropriate to look for good timing and to teach with kindness.
There is more. Both parents and leaders have a primary call or task to live out our responsibility in a way that invites others to live out and become who they are meant to be. I appreciate the wisdom of an invitational aspect here; we are invited to invest in the lives of those entrusted to our care and supervision. There are many skills in parenting and leadership, how often do we consider the calling to help others develop into who they are meant to be? What an incredible honor and challenge that is to us! Leading well and wisely always begins with me and how I lead.
We are all wired with mirror neurons and the manner in which we relate is seen through the eyes of the person we are relating to. The first thing we can bring to any situation is a calm presence. Parenting and leading often call for us to instruct and teach. No one will receive from us the intent of our skill or lesson if we are angry and possess a voice or body language that is anything other than calm and inviting. Relational instruction requires our calm as we enter into instruction with our children.
Care is crucial to relationship instruction. The person on the other end must feel safe and cared for in order to begin to receive what is being said. Change in any situation begins with a willingness to understand the need for it and then working through to process what does this journey of change look like. Underscored here is the importance of giving time, time. Change is a journey and a process. The wise parent/supervisor knows the value of loving guidance and consistent support during the process of change. Our job is often to teach and reteach, and then teach again.
A child in the early stages of reading is a good example of the change process. Parents model reading to their children – books have stories. As the child grows parents begin to point out words and associate words with pictures, this might be followed by sounding out the letters in the word, and then showing that words make sentences and sentences make up the stories. This example is quite simplified, but represents the progression of sequence, and the time necessary to teach in such a way that helps the child get a solid grasp on the reading process. Once the child has the foundations of reading the process of understanding comes into play.
A wise parent/supervisor looks for signs of understanding and asks questions before moving ahead with the next layer of instruction. The reins belong in my hand to lead and guide with support and encouragement. When we lead in this manner not only does learning and growth take place, but relationship grows as well.

Emollient lip care provides immediate relief and protection against chapped, flaky, cracked lips.
For dry, cracked chapped lips.
We strongly suggest that you visit a medical skin care professional for a complete skin diagnosis before purchasing Avene products.
This moisturized my lips nicely. I don't have severely chapped lips, but as someone with mild dryness issues on my lips, this worked nicely for me. I put it on at night before going to bed, and when I wake up, it feels like I just put on a fresh coat. My only (nitpicky) complaint is that I don't like the shape of the actual balm. It has a pretty steep, ramp-like angle, so the very tip of it broke off, making it a little less convenient to use than a balm that is flat on the top.
Apply to lips as often as necessary. May be applied under lipsticks.
This product can only be shipped to addresses within the U.S.

$700 Billion Price Put on Health Plan Taxes, Savings from Medicare, Medicaid to Help Fund Program
1993, The Washington Post, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
If enacted, President Bill Clinton's health-care reform plan would cost the federal government an estimated $700 billion over five years, administration officials and congressional sources said Thursday.
Of that, $105 billion would come from new taxes on cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and some large corporations.
About $285 billion would be funded from savings realized by imposing caps on Medicare, Medicaid and other publicly funded health programs and by using that previously budgeted money to subsidize the cost of health premiums for small firms and low-income workers. The plan would cut the projected rate of growth of Medicare and Medicaid by about one-half.
In addition, an estimated $259 billion would be raised by requiring firms that employ Medicare and Medicaid recipients to pay part of the cost of those employees' health-care coverage. The White House expects to raise another $51 billion when employers' costs of providing health benefits decline, as the plan assumes they will. Presumably, these savings would result in higher wages, which are subject to federal income tax; company expenditures on health benefits are not taxed.
How realistic those and other administration estimates are, and how they will be received by various interest groups, will be the focus of heated debate over coming months.
Thursday, a cacophony of criticism, confusion and enthusiasm followed Hillary Rodham Clinton as she traveled to Capitol Hill to brief House and Senate leaders of both parties on the plan.
Liberals who follow Medicaid and Medicare spending questioned whether such limits would result in unacceptable cutbacks in the quality and amount of care. Conservatives, including members of a potentially powerful coalition in the making between conservative Democrats and Senate Republicans, expressed doubts about the wisdom of government controls on health spending.
Asked about limits on Medicaid and Medicare spending, Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell, D-Maine, said, "The question is whether those costs can be controlled in a reasonable way, and I believe they can." He added that much of the proposed savings from Medicare would be spent for increased drug and long-term care benefits for the elderly. …
