Date of Stay: May, 2015
Always enjoy staying here when we come to Waco/Baylor University. With a 36' HM and a tow dolly, we use Google Earth to pick a good site that allows us to pull through. The Reserve America\Recreation.gov web site descriptions are NOT always correct as to access, sewer hookups. You can always call the office for clarification if necessary. The sites are great. Paved and level. Most have a covered picnic table. All have a fire ring & water. We chose a nice lake-side spot without trees since the weather was expected to be poor and we figured the satellite was going to be used (it was). A number of the sites are treed and that's a good thing in the Texas summer. Again, Google Earth is your friend. The RV sites aren't close together so there's a modicum of privacy which is nice. Around dusk or sunrise is a good time to go for a long walk and see the wildlife around the area. Deer are all over the place. Lots of roadrunners and the usual collection of other Texas critters as well. All-in-all a great COE operation.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
Typical KOA and probably the best choice for San Antonio touring. Very close to downtown (Alamo, River Walk, etc). Bus service is convenient and available from the gate (parking downtown is VERY difficult and expensive). Sites are very close together and level. Wi-Fi is weak but available and functional as long as you just need email or some very slow surfing. So: why a "6"? Well, I reserved a site two months in advance and paid for the first night to secure the site. Made specific arrangements for a specific site and was assured it would be available. Pulled up right at 3pm (check-in time) and was told the site was not available and was then assigned a smaller site in the back row. Took the reassigned site (no choice) and hooked up water, sewer, electric, cable TV and then along comes the office staff. Seems the extra long rig and trailer that checked in right after me had been promised the site I was just assigned. Yep: he made the reservation in JANUARY. The park was almost full so I agreed to pack up and switch sites with him so he could fit in. The office staff said "thanks" and they'd make sure the park manager was made aware of the foul-ups and both of us would be compensated for the issues. Well: not so much. Never heard a word from anyone. (We stayed three days.)
Date of Stay: July, 2010
The marina & RV park is on Lake Whitney - a HUGE lake NW of Waco. The sites vary in quality. Ours had a cement patio, picnic table and small BBQ. Lot's of trees (small oaks - normal for the hill country) which do provide much needed shade in July. However, that makes it, uh, interesting maneuvering your class A or 5er around! It took three of us to safely get our 36' motorhome tucked away. Be sure to check the web site and request a specific site if necessary. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Most of the sites are gravel and leveling may be an issue. Again - check the site once you get there before committing to it. Couple of pools that looked well maintained. Keyed laundry facilities, showers and rest rooms. If you're looking for a base camp for fishing - this is a good choice.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Previous reviewers are all pretty accurate. It's been a long process getting this state park back online within a very limited budget and they've done a good job. The restrooms and showers are, uh, adequate. We stayed here for a full week while our son attended classes at UTMB. You're on the beach (short walk), great view, 50Amp service and good water - FOR $25/day!! The alternative is a decent hotel in Galveston at $150+/night. Of course the beach is the attraction and it's fine. Clean, brown and very sparsely populated since the park's property is very large and the day visitors aren't allowed in the campsite area. Each site has it's own, covered shelter with a picnic table. The park rangers are all very helpful and friendly - from those patrolling and working outside to the office staff. Word of caution - if your pets are under 10 pounds, keep them inside or else the smaller mosquitoes will carry them off! (The large mosquitoes just swallow them whole). With an on-shore breeze, it's not too bad on the beach side but the Bay side is awful and you'll be eaten alive. With an off-shore breeze, the opposite is true. Summer = mosquitoes. That's life on the upper Texas coast.

This is my first cycle taking Fertility Blend which contains Vitex. It seems that maybe it's causing me to produce too much LH. I've been getting dark +opk's for over a week. I think I o'd on cd15 but I'm still getting +opk's now two days later. I dont temp but wish I started this month! Has anyone had this happen with Vitex? I've always just gotten one day of +opk's in the months past so I'm thinking it's the Vitex that's causing it. Can you ovulate and conceive with high levels of LH?
Can Vitex cause too much LH?

Yoda is an approximately 10-year-old purebred Miniature Pinscher. He is docked but not cropped and is a lovely chocolate and rust. He is up to date on his shots and is neutered.
Yoda was found wandering rural North Carolina and taken to a high kill shelter. Based on the deep impressions around the fur on his neck he appears to have been tied up outside for many years. He was also severely emaciated, dehydrated and appears to have survived some abuse. All that is behind him now and he is looking for his forever home to live out his senior years.
Yoda is very laid back does not require a lot of activity or walks. He would be the perfect dog for someone that is not extremely active or mobile, that just wants a calm, stable companion around. He gets along well with all dogs big and small as well as cats. He has been around children briefly and was calm.
Yoda's adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in him please email

May 24, 2016
By: Bailey Myers
November 19, 2013
Tallahassee FL - Around one-thousand people are expected to be lined up for a free Thanksgiving dinner in Tallahassee, but now Project volunteers are worried they may not have enough to feed everyone.
"It's kind of like holding my breath knowing it might happen but I would rather it happen sooner so I could let my breath out," said the founder of Project Annie Inc., Annie Johnson.
Holding on to hope, Johnson, waits for the thousands of donations she usually sees this time of year.
So far, Johnson has yet to see the amount of support she usually does the week before her annual big Thanksgiving dinner.
What started off as just feeding a few families in Tallahassee on Thanksgiving has turned into feeding at least a thousand.
With only a few canned goods donated, it's no wonder Johnson might say she has a few things to get on her list.
As she told WCTV, for sixteen years she's had Thanksgiving and she doesn't expect to stop now.
"No I don't have enough food for them...Oh but Ill get it," said Johnson.
Johnson told us, aside from the food Project Annie could also use the help of volunteers. Johnson told us if you are interested in donating you can drop off any goods, or mail checks addressed to Project Annie Inc. at 625 West 4th Avenue.

Featured review from Linda LippittRed Velvet
view more less of this review
I was so impressed by both the wide variety of stimulating choreography, and the excellence of the dancers. We gave up our subscription to the ballet years ago because of its mediocre level of performance. I think we will have to give it another try.
__Choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon
Music by Bohuslav Martinu
An wistful, neo-classical homage to the traditional pas de deux, Christopher Wheeldon's acclaimed Rush utilizes six couples whose movements ebb and flow throughout the 24-minute piece, rushing forward and soaring back across the stage, as the piece "splatters and explodes symmetry and order" (The DanceReview Times). Though original and postmodern in style, Rush still maintains the essence of traditional ballet.
__Prayer of Touch
__Choreographed by Helen Pickett
Music by Felix Mendelssohn
After bringing the Atlanta Ballet debut of Petal for last season's Fusion, Helen Pickett is back with a world premiere. Pickett's ultimate aim is to create an authentic experience that involves the viewer and leads to a shared journey between the dancers and their audience. She believes that "art, after all, is about sharing experiences and inviting people to feel the thrill of movement." Let yourself be pulled in by the sensations and energy of Prayer of Touch.
Choreographed by Tara Lee
Music by Nickitas Demos
Tara Lee returns with a world premiere after giving us Poem, 16 String and most recently Akava during Wabi Sabi. Best known as a principal dancer in her sixteenth season with Atlanta Ballet, Lee has proven that she is a multi-dimensional and exciting emerging choreographer. Her work bridges the worlds of classical and contemporary dance, resulting in "a pleasurable marriage of tradional and trendy styles" (ArtsATL). Bursting with raw emotion and cinematic in nature, Lee's choreography captivates.
About the Ticket Supplier: Atlanta Ballet
Atlanta Ballet was founded seven decades ago by dance visionary Dorothy Alexander (1904-1986). Miss Dorothy had a dream of bringing quality ballet to the Atlanta community. The result was the Dorothy Alexander Dance Concert Group—the first step in the regional ballet movement that swept the nation. Upon gaining professional status in 1967, the company was renamed Atlanta Ballet. Today, under the artistic leadership of John McFall, Atlanta Ballet is the oldest professional dance company in America, the largest self-supported arts organization in Georgia, and the official Ballet of Georgia.

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — The Maui Invitational had a scintillating bracket last year, with Kemba Walker and Connecticut rolling through a talented field in a warm-up to its national-title run.
This year's tournament has the potential to be even better.
With a field that's combined for 20 national championships and paradise as the backdrop, the 2011 Maui Invitational is as good as it gets when it comes to holiday tournaments.
The field includes No. 6 Duke, which has won four Maui titles, No. 10 Memphis, No. 12 Kansas and No. 17 Michigan.
Tennessee, Georgetown, UCLA and Chaminade round out the tournament that runs Monday through Wednesday at tiny Lahaina Civic Center.

Originally posted on The Other Paper | Last updated 11/19/12
Something has to give when a respected veteran major league player is traded to a team and the uniform number he has worn for 16 years is already on the back on one of his new teammates. Usually it ends up costing the new acquisition a nice dinner or maybe even a new car. What happened when former Los Angeles Angels outfielder Torii Hunter called his new teammate Rick Porcello last week to tell him he wanted the Detroit Tigers pitcher's No. 48 probably cost more than a new pickup truck, but — besides the cherished number —paid back in good karma and helped people in need. In a gesture, that has to go down as one of the best-intentioned number-swapping stories in MLB, Porcello readily agreed to giving up his number under the condition that Hunter — who wore the number since coming up with the Twins — donate money to relief from Hurricane Sandy. Porcello — a homegrown New Jersey baseball star at Seton Hall Prep — still has an off-season home in the state he calls "my home." "Being from New Jersey, I've been looking at opportunities to help," the 24-year-old Porcello told The New York Daily News. "I've seen the impact the storm had, the devastation it caused. I wanted to make some difference and when Torri made his offer, this was definitely one way. We're putting something together for the relief efforts and I'm going to be giving back as well." Porcello — who will be wearing his old high school No. 21 from now on — said Hunter made what was "a very generous" monetary offer. The righhander saw little action during the Tigers' recent World Series run but Porcello has seen a lot of the destruction left behind in his home state by the superstorm. The image of the Seaside Heights roller coaster sitting in the ocean is one he can't shake off. "Anybody's who's been down there, that will be burned into people's minds for a long time," he said. "It'll take a lot to bring it back."

Cover shorts....... cover!
I'd say we're in the 40's on the RSI after today. That's plenty of cover on the overbought situation. We could slide lower from here but at least statistically we can move up assuming we get positive news out of the fiscal cliff. I'd say this is a good point to begin scaling back into long ACI.
I think given how overbought the market is in general -- the 200 day will be challenged a few times before taking it out. The 50 day is closing in and the trading range is tight between the 50 and 200 but technically, it might be better to go to the sidelines. Many longs are going to cash out of this xmas rally before end of year to book profits and relax during the break. Also, I have a bad feeling the market will sell the news once we finally do get fiscal cliff resolve. The stark realities of the global economy aren't exciting. Growth is slow. It is being manipulated by a monetary base that has expanded dramatically across all major developed nation currencies. And yet GDP is STILL below a normal recovery. I'd say be careful. I chose the sidelines a week ago selling at $7.60 and I feel pretty certain we will see low $7's before we see $9. Just my opinion and there's many ways to make money... including those that are holding for 2 - 3 years... you will make a killing! Swing traders... it's too speculative for my comfort.
Sentiment: Hold
Looks to me like ACI wants to fill that large gap on the daily chart. The 50 MA as well the gap itself are providing initial resistance. Appears a flag or pennant is forming right under the gap. I jumped back in after being out of the stock for several weeks. The weekly chart looks solidly bullish. JMHO.
I agree with everything you said. The whole market is indeed overbought. I'm watching to see if it can close above and hold the 200 before I make any moves. I think a pullback will take it no lower than the 7.40's. It is very difficult to put any faith in these low volume days.

We watched Frank Sinatra's 1967 detective movie Tony Rome last week and, except for some nice Miami exteriors and the presence of Jill St. John, it was strictly average. But it did give us the idea of digging up the source material, so above you see the covers of the three popular books in the literary series, published in 1960, '61, and '62. In an attempt to make readers think the tales were real-life adventures they're credited to Anthony Rome, but they were actually written by veteran author Marvin H. Albert, who churned out more than one hundred books in the western, mystery, spy, and history categories. In addition to writing as Rome, he published as Albert Conroy, Al Conroy, Nick Quarry, Ian MacAlister, and J. D. Christilian. The cover art above is by, top to bottom, George Porter, Bob Abbett, and Victor Kalin. A while back we published a rare promo image from the film version of Lady in Cement and you can see that rather unusual shot here.

There's some confusion online about whether this promo poster for Moon over Miami was painted by Alberto Vargas. Jan-Christopher Horak's book Saul Bass: Anatomy of Film Design states: "Virtually all movie poster design work remained anonymous, although a few well-known designers received contracts, including Alberto Vargas for Moon over Miami." On the other hand, several auction sites claim Vargas only worked on the print ads, and that the artist who painted the poster was charged with emulating the Vargas style. So there you go—cleared that right up, no? Well, we tend to believe Vargas would not have received a contract simply for print ads. What would the point of that be? So we think this piece is his.
In any case, we've always loved the poster and it prompted us to finally watch the film. Guess what? It's just what you'd expect from looking at the art—goofy, gooey, and terminally good-natured. None of that is particularly pulp, but hey, crazy as it sounds, some filmmakers actually prefer to downplay death and mayhem. Betty Grable stars here as a woman determined to marry a millionaire. She sets up at a Miami hotel with her sister and aunt, and pretends to be rich herself, with the aim attracting the proper suitors. Confusion ensues, enlivened by musical numbers. Grable proves in this movie why she was a star, as does the object of her destiny Don Ameche, and excellent support comes from Carole Landis and Charlotte Greenwood. We don't generally go for this sort of film, but we liked this one, as did our girlfriends. Now back to death and mayhem. Moon over Miami premiered in the U.S. today in 1941.

On this Confidential from February 1965 the publishers give their cut-and-paste artists a month off and grace the cover with a simple portrait of Brigitte Bardot and her famed pout. Inside the editors air out her love life in a way that today would be called slut shaming—pretty much stock-in-trade for Confidential. The suggestion is she won't come to the U.S. to act because she's busy Morockin' around the clock with Moroccan-born producer Bob Zaguri. Elsewhere in the issue you get Romy Schneider, Jean Harlow, Alain Delon, Peter O'Toole, love behind the Iron Curtain, and an outraged report on pharmaceutical companies marking up medicines 200%, 500%, even 7,000%. Yes, medicines cost too much in the U.S. even back then. But don't take our word for it. Take Confidential's—their story ends by declaring that drug companies have Americans by the balls and the only way to avoid the drug price racket is to not get sick.
The cruise is eventually reported to the boat rental agency in Miami, whose owner vows that he will never again allow his vessels to be used for such debauchery. The response from the organizer of the cruises was this: "There are approximately one-hundred thousand boats or ships of some sort or another. I think we'll be able to find some way to balance supply and demand." Ouch—zinged right in the Econ 101s. Doubtless Confidential expected the congressional switchboard to light up over this outrageous appropriation of boats meant for exclusively heterosexual usage, but whether it happened we can't say—the story ends there. And Confidential readers were left to endure thirty days of disquiet until the next gay bashing issue came out. We won't wait quite that long—we'll explore this subject in another tabloid soon. More scans below.

Above are a couple of scans from an issue of The National Police Gazette published this month in 1963 with cover star Ava Gardner. Gardner had been living in Spain and hadn't been in a movie in three years, but was about to appear in the historical war drama 55 Days at Peking with Charleton Heston and David Niven. The Gazette discusses how she'd gotten fed up with the U.S.—particularly the American press. She had been particularly annoyed by the rumor that she was involved with Sammy Davis, Jr., a story that took flight after several magazines published photos of the two holding hands. When asked why she was returning to Hollywood after being out of circulation for so long, Gardner, in typically blunt fashion, replied, "I need the money."

Been a while since we've posted a mugshot, so today, courtesy of Deadspin, this unaltered booking photo shows a 25-year-old Miami man who was arrested for soliciting prostitution over the weekend.

Here's something that immediately caught our eye—a rare film still of Christine Todd as the titular corpse from 1968's Lady in Cement. Todd's appearance is during the film's first few minutes, as Sinatra's detective character Tony Rome is scuba diving off the coast of Florida and finds her anchored in a block of cement. In the movie Todd's nude state is merely implied, which is why finding this unobstructed view was such a surprise. We have a similar but less revealing shot from a Japanese soundtrack sleeve, below, with a different superimposed shark. Both images are stunners. But as memorable as Ms. Todd was in her debut, it was, sadly, her only movie role.
|Vintage Pulp | Sex Files
|Jul 20 2009
Here's a July 1962 issue of the tabloid Vice Squad, with several interesting items on the cover. Cadillac girls—self explanatory, very smooth ride. Sexual cripples—ditto, very rough going. Same with sex roulette (bad odds), perversion unlimited (sticky ends), and the phobic feature on "lesbians and homos." But, aha, the story on Farouk's $400,000 libel suit against a Miami cathouse operator is well worth detailing.
In brief, Ruth Barnes, a Miami madame who went by the nom de directeur Sherry, published an autobiography—ghost-written by veteran sleaze author Bob Tralins—called Pleasure Was My Business. The book named a raft of celebrity clients, including the ex-king of Egypt, Farouk I. Furthermore, it claimed he was not only a regular client, but that in 1952 he once snuck into the U.S. via some helpful port authority folks and rented Madame Sherry's entire house for a night of fun and games. Quite an incendiary claim.
When Farouk learned he'd been outed, he flipped out and sued for libel, specifically claiming he was never in the U.S. at the time in question and he was outraged and infuriated and humiliated and so forth. The suit was not for $400,000 but rather $750,000, which was a fortune at the time, something in the area of five million in today's dollars. Long story short—Farouk lost. Not only had he entered the U.S., he'd indeed entered Madame Sherry's house and followed that up by entering a few of her employees.
The epilogue on this guy is so fascinating. Always a bit of a gourmand, he started life thin, and remained so through his heyday, but as middle age approached the eating caught up with him and by age forty he was tipping the scales at nearly three-hundred pounds. One night, after gorging himself as usual, he collapsed and died. He was 45. We've taken the lesson to heart here at Pulp Intl., and we're cutting back on the fatty foods and getting more exercise. But we're never, ever giving up the hookers so don't even ask.
|Intl. Notebook
|Jan 1 2009
Fifty years ago on this day, U.S.-installed dictator Fulgencio Batista fled Cuba, acknowledging defeat by socialist forces aligned with Fidel Castro. At the time Cuba was controlled by U.S. business interests and organized crime figures, with 75% of its land in foreign hands, and the capital of Havana serving as an international vice playground. It was known as the Monte Carlo of the Caribbean, and establishments like the Tropicana, San Souci, and Shanghai Theatre were famous for casinos, prostitutes, and totally nude cabaret shows. The El Dorado had an all female orchestra. Mobster Meyer Lansky was royalty. Luminaries such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Edith Piaf were regular headliners. Havana was simply the place to be.
Less than an hour from Florida by air, New York businessmen who'd told their wives they were at a Miami conference could be enjoying a Cuban whore by lunchtime, and be back in Dade County in time for bed and a phone call from the missus. Alternatively, they could stay all night, or for days at a time, and lose themselves in daiquiris, dancing girls, and the lure of forbidden Barrio Colón. It was paradise—at least if you were a foreigner or one of the wealthy Cubans in partnership with them. For thepoor Havana was pure hell. The billions in revenue earned by casinos and hotels trickled not down, but out—into foreign bank accounts. Malnutrition, illiteracy, and crime were rampant. When Castro ran Batista off the island the party cautiously continued, because his political intentions were not immediately clear. Everyone knew the old system would change; nobody knew exactly how much. But for a brief, post-revolutionary moment Cuba remained open to foreigners, and so the expatriate carnival went on—albeit under a cloud.
But the lines had already been drawn in the greatest ideological battle of modern times. U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower was using the CIA to train Cuban exiles for an invasion to oust the socialists, and Castro was planning to nationalize a corrupt capitalist economy that had excluded those who were too poor, too black, or too lacking in influence to get a seat at the big table. When Castro made nationalization official, the U.S. struck with an embargo, and followed up five months later with the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. Since then the ideological battle lines have occasionally shifted, but Cuba remains the prize jewel of the war.
As historical events go, the Cuban Revolution has been invaluable to pulp, providing rich material for authors such as Graham Greene, James Ellroy and a literary who's-who of others. It has been the subject of countless revisionist potboilers. Stephen Hunter's Havana is perhaps the best of these novels. In that one Fidel's fate is in the hands of a goodhearted redneck from Arkansas. Sent by the CIA, the heroic marksman is more than a match for the hapless Cubans, but does he really want to kill Castro? Movies ranging from Errol Flynn's piece-of-fluff Cuban Rebel Girls, to Wim Wenders' inspiring Buena Vista Social Club, to Benicio del Toro's heavyweight Ché, have also used the island as a backdrop. Doubtless Cuba will provide material for as long as authors write and directors film, as its history continues to inspire, and its future continues to be in flux.

Known as the "Switzerland of the Middle East," Lebanon is comprised of beautiful mountains and green scenery, as well as a swanky, urban capital located in Beirut. The people of Lebanon are known to be easygoing and friendly, despite the country's history of turmoil with its geopolitical neighbors.
Explore the beautiful beaches, Roman architectural ruins, and expert ski resorts in this small Middle Eastern nation. With this, Lebanon's international status is rising and it needs teachers to help its students gain English fluency.
Job Types
Beginning in elementary school, Lebanese students are taught either English or French as a primary second language. Once in secondary school, math and science classes are solely taught in one of these two languages (depending on the school's curriculum). Thus, English teachers are in high demand in a multitude of teaching locations.
Teachers can either privately tutor on the side, to supplement their salaries, or enroll in programs such as GeoVisions' Conversation Corps. Applicants will receive room and board in exchange for about 15 hours/week of tutoring (a bit similar to an au pair situation). As a "live-in" tutor, there will be plenty of opportunity for cross-cultural exchange between you and your host family. In addition, this volunteer-like situation will allow for plenty of free time to travel within Lebanon and explore your surroundings. No official teaching experience is necessary for these types of tutoring placements; though, it is helpful to have some background in dealing with children.
Private International Schools:
Most private and international schools, which actively and consistently hire English teachers, are located in the capital city of Beirut. These jobs are reserved for teachers with proper certification and ESL experience. Some examples of these schools are the Students' Paradise Secondary School and the International School of Akkar.
Language Schools:
English language centers are growing increasingly popular, not only for children, but also adult learners. Schools, such as the American Language Center, offer after-school or evening classes that range from beginner's to business-level English.
Finding a Job
When and Where to Look for Jobs:
Beirut, where most jobs are located, is known to be one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Middle East. However, there are plenty of other teaching opportunities all over Lebanon, in cities like Tripoli, Sidon, Byblos, and Tyre.
Since most schools perform interviews in-person, it is easiest to look for jobs and secure interviews if you are already in Lebanon. You may find that employers prefer an "on the spot" hiring process, so that they can meet with applicants face-to-face before signing contracts.
Employers look for applicants who hold a bachelor's degree (in any subject). Also, a TEFL/TESOL certification is required to teach. If you are interested in tutoring or an au pair type situation, no experience is necessarily required (but, it is taken into account).
Salary & Cost of Living:
Schools and employers will assist in finding housing, but typically it is not compensated. Rent is comparably the same price as in many major U.S. cities, but it is possible to find affordable housing if you share the space with a roommate. In addition, if living in Beirut, you should be able to eat well on about $10/day. Beirut is full of overpriced, "hip" restaurants or bars, but opt for meals at local businesses or street vendors if you want to save money.
Classroom & Work Culture:
Wear modest clothing in the classroom (as well as when visiting religious sites). Although Lebanon is known to be relatively "open," it remains a somewhat conservative country when it comes to dress code.
Avoid bringing up Lebanon's political relations with Syria; political tensions are high and it is not recommended that you stir the pot.
Even though many people speak English or French as a second language, learn some helpful words and phrases in Arabic while you're there.

All Saints Day
On November 1st each year we celebrate the lives of saints from the past. I see this as a prelude to the grouping of holy days around the winter solstice from the many world religions and traditions.
In the Northern Hemisphere, November it is a time of waning light, a time for more indoor activities of reading and reflection. It is a time of celebration for a bountiful harvest, or a time of quiet and joyful anticipation of a better year to come.
Reflecting on the lives of saints shows us the path through life, though it may be materially difficult at times, has a built in reward in that forever in our meditation we can commune with Peace and Joy.
Meditation for Reflection
In your quiet space, light a candle at your small table or altar and burn incense if you desire. On your seat, sit with your back straight, hands folded in your lap or resting palms up or palms down on your thighs. Close your eyes.
Do a few rounds of regular even breathing to calm your body and mind, setting the stage for joy to emerge in your thoughts. Breathe in 2 counts; breathe out 2 counts; breathe in 2 counts and continue.
Allowing your counted breaths to continue on their own, turn your thoughts to appreciation for all that you have in life at this moment.
Reflect that even when times are difficult with your circumstances or relationships, that you have this precious time in meditation to enjoy your restful body and calm mind. Think of some appreciations.
Remember that by their lives the saints have shown that joy is an inner quality that bubbles up to fill in the spaces of each empty-seeming moment with peace and joy, fueling the fires of caring and loving devotion in activities in the world.
Finish your meditation with a deep breath in and out; stretch and go on with peace and joy, renewed and rejuvenated as with the lives of saints before and of today.

So on Tuesday, he went into his team meeting and brought it up for the first time. "It's like the elephant in the room," Frazier said when asked about the timing. "I just felt like I needed to get that addressed. Looking back at it, I probably should have dealt with it a week ago. I don't want those guys to be distracted. I want them to focus on the opponent. I felt like we got a little distracted last week. I want to make sure that we're all focused on one thing and that's winning this game against Detroit." Frazier heads into Sunday's game against the Lions at 4-10-1 this season and 20-33-1 since replacing Brad Childress as interim head coach with six games left in the 2010 season. Frazier's contract runs through the 2014 season, but NFL coaches typically get contract extensions or fired before reaching a lame-duck season. Obviously, Frazier isn't getting a multi-year extension after this season if he didn't get one in 2012 after posting a seven-win improvement during a playoff season. Like Frazier, Detroit's Jim Schwartz is out of the playoff picture (7-8) and in danger of losing his job. The Lions led the NFC North and were the healthiest team in the division before blowing the season with five losses in six games, including the past three. The game means nothing in terms of the playoffs and probably won't do anything to save Frazier's job. But Frazier typically gets maximum effort from his players, so he's still trying to do all he can to win a fourth straight home game in what will be the final game in the 31-year history of the Metrodome. The Lions, meanwhile, are trying to finish with a victory after going 7-23 in 30 Metrodome appearances. Unlike Frazier, Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel said he didn't think the team was distracted by Frazier's uncertain job status. "I didn't sense that at all," Cassel said. "I think the last game came down to pure execution. We didn't execute and it showed on third down and throughout the course of the game. We had (four) turnovers. Obviously, myself, I have to do a better job of taking care of the football. We just have to play better football." Linebacker Erin Henderson said Frazier's comments weren't necessary. "That was just something he wanted to do, that he felt was necessary," Henderson said. "We just go out and play football and control what we can control. (Frazier's job status) is something that's very far from our hands. We're just focusing on Detroit." Linebacker Chad Greenway also said it wasn't a significant distraction. "Maybe it is from the perspective of answering questions and stuff like that for him," Greenway said. "But for us, we have jobs to fight for too so we're trying to do our job as well we can." --Chances are rookie kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson will break a team record before he even exits the end zone on Sunday. Noted for bringing any and all kicks out of the end zone - including an NFL-record 109-yard touchdown - Patterson needs just four yards to break Buster Rhymes' single-season team mark of 1,345 yards set in 1985. On Sunday, Patterson had returns of 48, 44 and 34 yards at Cincinnati. Unlike Philadelphia a week earlier, the Bengals didn't kick the ball away from Patterson. "(Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer) told me that their coach is kind of arrogant; he's just like him," Patterson said. "He's going to kick it deep no matter who the returner is." Patterson was talking about Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons. "If they kick me the ball, I've just got make them pay for it," he said. "Every time I catch the ball, I feel like owe someone something." Patterson has scored a touchdown in each of the past four games. He's the first Vikings rookie to do so since Randy Moss scored one in seven straight games in 1998. --RB Adrian Peterson (foot, groin) returned Sunday after missing the Baltimore game because of a sprained right foot. But he clearly wasn't himself and was pulled after the Vikings fell behind by 28 points. Peterson didn't practice at all on Tuesday, but was limited on Thursday. He'll be re-evaluated on Friday. --RB Toby Gerhart (hamstring) re-injured his hamstring in the Eagles game, did not practice Tuesday and is unlikely to play against the Lions. --CB Shaun Prater (ankle) left Sunday's game briefly but returned. He hasn't practiced this week, but will be re-evaluated on Friday. He has been one of the surprise backups to step forward down the stretch. He has a chance to stick with the team beyond this season. --NT Letroy Guion (quadriceps) did not practice on Tuesday or Thursday and will be re-evaluated on Friday. Without Guion, the Vikings would have to lean on Fred Evans or Chase Baker, a second-year player and former practice squad player. --PR Marcus Sherels is second in the league with a 13.6-yard average. To set the Vikings' single-season record for punt returns, Sherels needs to finish with a 13.3-yard average or better. He also needs one more attempt to reach the minimum of 20. --LB Chad Greenway has 158 tackles, which is 19 more than any other Viking. So it's all but certain that he'll lead the team in tackles for the sixth consecutive season, which would tie the record set by former Vikings linebacker and current college scouting director Scott Studwell. --CB Xavier Rhodes has missed the past two games because of an ankle injury, yet his 23 passes defensed is still nine better than any other Viking. That's also a team record, breaking the previous mark of 19 set by Orlando Thomas in 1995. --DE Brian Robison has a career-high nine sacks, topping last year's total of 8.5. He's also half a sack behind team leader Jared Allen. The last time Allen didn't lead his team in sacks was 2006, his third year with the Chiefs. Robison does lead Allen in quarterback hurries, 38-35.

text: Knowing Your Account Value Isn't Enough Seth J. Masters October 28, 2011 Americas, Defined Contribution A retirement account lump sum may look like a lot, but how much should one withdraw each year to have a good chance of sustaining income through retirement? Surprisingly few people know. A worker diligently saves in a defined contribution (DC) plan for years and is finally ready to retire. What happens next? For starters, he gets hold of his plan assets to use as he sees fit. For many, this is the biggest single lump sum they'll see in their lives; they may feel rich. But most people have no idea how much they can withdraw each year to make their savings last through retirement. In our seventh annual survey of full-time employees eligible for their companies' DC plans, we posed a question about this: Let's say you're retiring at age 65 with $500,000 in your 401(k) account. What percentage of that could you spend each year without running out of money for the rest of your life? We offered five possible answers: a. 1%-3% b. 4%-6% c. 7%-9% d. 10%-12% e. Don't know The rule of thumb in the retirement industry is that, assuming you remain well invested, you can withdraw about 4%–5% of your initial savings each year and have a good chance that the money will last for the rest of your life. So only (a) and (b) above would be prudent for what may be the long haul of retirement. But only 27% of our survey participants got that right—a surprisingly low number. More than one-fourth said they didn't know, and about half guessed too high (Display ). Why is this important? As participants build up retirement account savings, they tend to see one big number—the account value—and that can lull them into a false assurance that they are saving enough. More than one-third of our respondents said you could withdraw 10% or more. According to our calculations,a 65-year-old man beginning with $250,000 (far more than the average DC account balance for today's retirees) who withdrew $25,000 per year would likely exhaust his savings by age 80, even with reasonably optimistic investment returns. But more than half of 65-year-old men today are likely to live past 85, and many of them are likely to live past 90. Women tend to live even longer. A more prudent 4.5% rate may last 25 years, but it would give you approximately $11,250 during the first year of your retirement (approximately $937 a month).* That's not likely to be enough, even with Social Security. The problem for our hypothetical 65-year-old is that he may feel wealthy, but a prudent withdrawal rate is unlikely to meet his retirement income needs—and by then, it's too late to save much more. That's why workers need to understand their likely annual income before retirement, rather than just their accumulated savings. Our survey respondents agreed: We asked them if they'd value a forecast to help understand their expected annual income from their retirement plan, based on current account balance, asset allocation and deferral rate. A resounding 93% said yes. This outcome supports the US Department of Labor's current exploration into ways to help participants understand how their current retirement savings path translates into annual retirement income. Participants may have access to online calculators and projection tools, but they clearly want a personal projection done for them—easily and conveniently. That fits right in with our findings that many participants need as much help as possible to get them to a confident, comfortable retirement. We discovered many other interesting insights from this year's survey. We expect to publish our full findings shortly. *Assumes annual amount withdrawn is increased annually to reflect the pace of inflation.

Our midfield offers absolutely nothing as far as creativity is concerned.For all the stick Fernando Torres is getting about his Chelsea scoring record, how many genuine goalscoring chances have been created for him? Not many I bet. Torres has been creating plenty of chances for other players, but they don't return the favour.Sturridge is too selfish and greedy. Needs to learn to use his right foot and stop trying to shoot from impossible angles, especially when team mates are better placed.He maybe a club legend, but time and injuries are catching up fast with Super Frankie.Sadly injuries appear to have stripped Michael Essien of his powers. Nowhere near the player he was.For all his running and energy, Raul Meireles is a red card waiting to happen and his passing and general distribution has been poor.Bosingwa would be better utilised on the right wing.One positive to come from recent matches, David Luiz is starting to look like a genuine defender. Much more discplined and controlled with his challenges. Hopefully a promising sign for the future.Our inability to keep a clean sheet has cost us badly this season. Chelsea need to sort it out and sort it fast!!
People say my jokes are quite cheesy...Personally, I think they're quite mature
