So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique: Free Guided Meditation Book for Daily Practice
So Hum Mantra Meditation
Meditation Technique #4
Background of So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique:
The simple, yet profound, So Hum Meditation technique is probably one of the most popular Mantra Meditations. It emerges from the Yoga school of Hindu Philosophy and belongs in the category of Japa Meditations (Meditations that require the chanting of Mantras).
The So Hum (aka So Ham, Soham or Sohum) Mantra Meditation, done sincerely, is very effective in bringing about a complete transformation of individual consciousness. So Hum literally means "I am That" (So = "That" or "Thou" or "Divinity"; Hum = "I am") and the mantra's aim is to bring about this union (yoga) between your individual consciousness and Divine Consciousness. Another way to interpret this purpose, is that the meditation brings about the realization that all that you see is yourself — The Observer is the Observed.
So Hum Mantra Meditation Video
YouTube Direct Link –> Best Mantra Meditation Technique – SO HUM
Tools Required for So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique:
- An alarm clock, stop watch or other time device
- Or you can use a traditional bead necklace (Mala) to count repetitions if you prefer.
Benefits of So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique:
Primary Benefits:
- Realization of your Divine Nature.
- Realization of the non-dual Nature of Reality.
- Stress Reduction, Relaxation, Peace and Tranquility.
- Spontaneous Joy and Happiness.
Secondary Benefits:
- Promotes Self-Healing.
- Builds mental focus and concentration.
So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique Cautions:
Guided So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique:
Follow the step by step guided meditation below to practice this technique.
- Sit in a comfortable cross legged position. You may also sit on a chair or lie on your back to practice this meditation.
- Set your alarm or other time device for 10 to 20 minutes. If using a Mala do an appropriate count (for a traditional 108 bead mala its about 1 full cycle through the mala)
- If sitting, elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in, like a soldier at attention. This will align the spine with the back of your head.
- Place your hands in Gyan Mudra (Gesture of Knowledge). Which is thumb and index finger lightly meeting, wrists resting gently on the knees and palms facing upward. The other 3 fingers are extended.
- Take 5 deep, slow breaths though the nose. This will oxygenate your blood and relax you.
- Try to remain as still as possible.
- Now inhale slowly while saying the sound "Soooooooo" mentally and then slowly exhale while silently saying the sound "Hummmmmm".
- After spending about half the time in meditation as described above, start with every cycle to feel your awareness expanding and merging with the Universe Consciousness. So as you continue to chant silently the mantra in rhythm with your breath, feel its real meaning acting upon you.
- Continue for the duration of the meditation.
- As the end of the meditation, try to remain with the all inclusive awareness and the sense that all is included in you.
So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique Tips:
- Another way to practice the So Hum Mantra Meditation is to visualize life, light and Divine energy flowing into you when you inhale and mentally say "Soooooo" and to feel your ego-centric limited consciousness flow out and evaporate into the atmosphere as you exhale and mentally say "Hummmmm". This variation is also consistent with the meaning of the Mantra.
- At you develop this practice increase the exhalation phase such that it grows to about two times the inhalation phase.
Secret of So Hum Mantra Meditation Technique:
Where did this Mantra come from? That is the secret of this Mantra. It is actually the sound of the breath during inhalation and exhalation. Inhalation sounds like "Soooooo", while exhalation sounds like "Hummmmm". So this is the music of life and by practicing this meditation we can learn to dance in tune with it.

I absolutely love everything about this dress. It has a long corset top which made it very easy to carry around and also makes the body look fabulous. The crystals on the dress are to DIE for they sparkle so much it definitely helps the bride shine throughout the night. I will also be including my veil with the dress. The veil has matching crystals that compliment the dress beautifully! Since the dress is a corset it can fit any size between size 0-6!!

Another night, another set of previews. Tonight wielded a wonderful card courtesy of the DailyMTG.com website. Here is tonight's card of the night:
Perilous Vault
5, Tap, Exile Perilous Vault: Exile all nonland permanents.
If this wasn't a mythic rare, then we'd have a problem here. However, it is, so we're okay. Let's break this card down.
Perilous Vault is a four mana casting artifact. This means that any color deck can play it. It also means that any color combination deck can play it. Already, this deck has plenty of homes. No exclusivity means that this is something that people will be looking for (as far as trading or buying goes).
It's activated ability only costs five mana. At one additional mana, this means that the caster can use it, at the very least, the following turn. At a combined nine mana, this spell costs more than something like Planar Cleansing. However, Planar Cleaning has three white symbols in its casting cost. This means that you're either playing Mono White, or you're heavy into White.
"Exile all nonland permanents." The key word here is "exile." Just say it outloud, "exile." By exiling and not "destroying" this card has the ability to remove anything that is "indestructible." Yeah, that means it can get rid of any Gods on the battlefield. Not only Gods, but Planeswalkers, creatures, enchantments; you don't have to worry about those pesky bestow creatures sticking around and ruining your party.
Wipe the board and start fresh.
So what do you think? Where does this rank among the card that have been spoiled so far from M15? Is it the best one? It does make a good case to be up there. Remember though, this is only day four of the previews. There is still another whole week to go. Until then, stay tuned.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who practiced transcendental meditation techniques had nearly 50 percent lower rates of heart attack, stroke, and death compared to non-meditating controls. CHD is the leading cause of death in the United States.The trial was conducted at The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee in collaboration with the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. The nine-year, randomized control trial followed 201 African American men and women, average age 59 years, with narrowing of arteries in their hearts. They were randomly assigned to either practice transcendental meditation or to participate in a control group which received health education classes in traditional risk factors, including dietary modification and exercise, but which did not practice meditation. All participants continued standard medications and other routine medical care. Among those practicing transcendental meditation, the study found a 47 percent reduction in the combination of death, heart attacks, and strokes, a clinically significant reduction in blood pressure and significant reductions in psychological stress in the high-stress subgroup.
Robert Schneider, M.D., FACC, lead author and director of the Center for Natural Medicine and Prevention, was quoted as saying, "Previous research on transcendental meditation has shown reductions in blood pressure, psychological stress, and other risk factors for heart disease, irrespective of ethnicity. But this is the first controlled clinical trial to show that long-term practice of this particular stress reduction program reduces the incidence of clinical cardiovascular events -- that is, heart attacks, strokes and mortality."
"This study is an example of the contribution of a lifestyle intervention—stress management—to the prevention of cardiovascular disease in high-risk patients," Theodore Kotchen, M.D., co-author of the study, professor of medicine, and associate dean for clinical research at the Medical College, was quoted as saying.
Dr. Schneider said that the effect of transcendental meditation in the trial was like adding a class of newly discovered medications for the prevention of heart disease. "In this case," he said, "the new medications are derived from the body's own internal pharmacy stimulated by the Transcendental Meditation practice."

Why do we deface our mature American Beech Trees? And why do we think that we have to leave our names everywhere? (I'm apparently guilty as my name is on the tree too, via my watermark!) Almost eleven years ago to the day, I was sitting on a portable stool with my fellow Hiram College students in Carnarvon Gorge National Park in Australia. A ranger who was introducing us to the ecology and geology of hte park gave us a strong, almost accusatory warning that we Americans can't write on trees and cliff faces in Australia like we do in the USA. I've thought about this ever since, and I just don't get it. What compels us to do this? It's obviously ingrained into our culture, I'm not exactly sure how it started, and I don't see any sign of it stopping.

As a relative beginner when it comes to trying to identify every bird that I see, juvenile hawks can pose problems for me. I took this image at Blendon Woods from the same vantage point as many of the other images I have been showing the past few days. After examining Lilian Stokes' images here, I think this could be a juvenile red-shouldered hawk. What do you think?
P.S. I photographed this bird flying above a man-made pond surrounded by both forests and fields this past Saturday, March 6, in Columbus, Ohio.

Hi blogging friends- A quick note: Tomorrow I'll be at this year's 2010 Wildlife Diversity Conference, held by the Ohio Division of Wildlife in Columbus. I'll be there attending and listening to the presentations. Almost 1000 people attend this conference each year- it's a great place to network with fellow nature lovers. This year there will be talks that include such wide ranging topics as wild boars, kids and conservation, paddlefish caviar, and saw-whet owls!

After seeing the first Turkey Vulture of the season this past Thursday, I keep seeing more reports on Facebook, Twitter, and the Ohio Birds Listserv of turkey vultures. Here is one of our early arrivals gliding above the water of Thoreau Pond at Blendon Woods.
For those of you that are new to studying large gliding birds, the give-away for turkey vultures is the two-toned aspect of the undersides of their wings. The red bald head, if you can see it, is also distinctive. Look for these things on a turkey vulture coming soon to you.

I'm no Turkey expert, but after help from my twitter friend D.W. Maiden and checking out a few diagrams, this looks to be a male turkey. The long beard and the spurs on the lower foreleg are just two characters that set a male apart from the female. It's just too bad I didn't get a better head angle. I was in a rush to get home to Megan and Weston, and I just didn't have the time I needed to get a better images once they walked back into the scrubby woods. Blendon Woods Metropark has quite a large group of Turkeys. The last three times I have been there, I've seen at least two, but yesterday afternoon was by far the best photographic opportunity I've had.

I haven't made it down to the computer where I do my photo editing, but Megan and I went to the zoo today and she took some great images. Check them out here. You'll notice that I'm wearing my recently acquired Pentax K1000 with super cool neck strap. There's nothing like shooting film with a classic camera!
Then this afternoon, I spent about two hours photographing all types of birds at Blendon Woods, including Turkeys, Turkey Vultures, and black ducks. Cardinals, field sparrows were all calling, and the black ducks were pairing up. Although I'm not quite ready for the botanical season, spring couldn't come fast enough, and it's really already here.

After spending a week in the sub-tropics, and now a week back in Ohio, I'm settling back into the relative boringness of late winter. I'm exaggerating a little bit here, but it just isn't the same not having endemic Puerto Rican anoles running around our backyard oak tree like we had running around the ficus trees of the Parador Villa Anontio in Rincon.
I had my first personal biological sign of spring yesterday evening. As I was driving my Corolla west on Morse road., a major thoroughfare here in Columbus, I spotted a large bird in the distance. My first inclination was that it was a red-tailed hawk, but as I drove closer, I saw the black and gray undersides of the wings of a gliding turkey vulture. A small sign of spring that surely went unnoticed by most of the drivers along that stetch of road yesterday, but a great sign of spring none the less. Hurry up Turkey Vulture, only ten more days to make it to Hinckley, they're waiting for you.

Publications Using PTSG Codes, Worldwide
Many authors, using our codes, have made acknowledgments to PTSG and sent us copies of their reports, journal articles, letters, and MS, Ph.D. theses. We appreciate both.
Since 1991, we have listed the publications brought to our attention using our codes XPDP1, XPDC1, XPDS1, XPDP2, and XOOPIC (by us and others). The total that we are aware of now exceeds 300, including over 60 by us. We are delighted to have been helpful to these authors. We are even more delighted to learn of their excellent and ingenious applications and modifications of our codes. (Go to the List of the publications)Return
We have given workshops for users of our plasma device codes. These codes are particle-in-cell (PIC) codes with Monte Carlo collision (MCC) models in 1D and 2D. Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates are modeled, in both electrostatic and electromagnetic regimes. The models include flexible boundary conditions, external driving circuits, and user-customizable diagnostics. The PTSG has been at the forefront of algorithm development for almost 50 years, and continues to develop new models for physics, computer science, and applied mathematics. Inquiries are welcome (address to Prof. Verboncoeur).

I Pinckard r?'!?. showing as 11 urn
ed tnat Wialker got preotioallv all 'if

lty is that the negro Republican vote
went latgnly to Wellford because
of the animosity b >rne by then
toward Onaiiiniu Lee as the author of
their p ilitioel mi-fortunes lui 'Hing the
iroonty. Now these are Bpooalationa
based on general principles. It is w 1
known, hivatv-r, that O .iifti .--mu an
Jonas tonk sn active pnrt, and al? i
thai money was not wanting to further
the Wellford interest-?. The Pinckard
men did not have the money, and,
therefore oould not hive vied with
their opponents in getting the mer?
cenary vote. N >t having any candidate
much i-f the colored vote was in the
market, and the btggest bar'l naturally
g it it. There need not be any doubt as
to the fact that both sides got every
vote they could by coaxing or for cost.
The Cheinp?ake Watchman says in
? ff-'it: "Let us have penca." The
Oltlien sayr? r "Barkis is willin'."
And the News claims that it has no
enemies to punish. All this is very
uioe in print, but those who know
anything about human nature can safe?
ly stake their bottom dollar that there
is not and will not be any peace
until one side or the other is placed
hors du combtit entirely. Reading be?
tween the lines, it is easy to Bee that
Hoa. W. A. Jones has got to fight every
inch of his way to get the delegation
from Lancaster next year. With Lee
as chairman and a solid comiiittee to
back him, it requires no propaet to
foresee tome lively flrfhting in that
county next year.
It w?8 supposed thatUouldmtn w told
have no Opposition, but at the last mo
meal W. D Laws, a colored lohool
teacher, of Northumberland, stepped
into the fight, and p lied a strong c >1
??red vote. The Repjblicans, having
made no nomination, it is somewhat
p iz/.ling to disc iver a reason for tin
candidacy of Laws. Not being tbe
p irty nominee, he certainly could not
expi-ct to receive the white Republican
Vote, and without that, there was n<>
earthly chance/for his election on a
m mi al poll, because his candidacy
would oertainly have the effect of bring?
ing ont a solid white vote f>r Gould
It ie entirely within the bounds of
the possibilities that Laws was used a?
a stool pigeon by the politicians to
canse a consolidation of the badly
divided Demooratio party of North?
umberland, and to create the im?
pression that the county was solid
for a Tyler man, and to give them a
stronger grip npon county politics.
This is merely surmise, bnt stranger
things have occurred.

The Ex-Spoaker's Advice
The Baltimore Son Bays :
At the annual banquet of the New
Vi.k Chamber of Commerce ?i
Spftaksr Keed disenssed the pond?
liona ui? i-img l?gislation at Wash
ington and urged the nfces-ity ot
making the gold standard sore durum
? i: session of Congress
Hitherto, h? ?S|laine?l, it has been
i in practicable to legislate because the
money question was ?till under dis
easflton and the Senate was an
obstacle, but n??w full reaponsibilitj
iipou the K--publiesn party
beeanse it controls both branches ol
. .is well as the Wtii'H House.
'* One party," ?aid the ox-Speaker,
" low has possession of both hou-e?
?knd is responsible to the country.
For long years wo have had no re
spoombiliry?the Senate was one
way, the House another ?nod nobodj
knew whom to blame. Now we know
where to put tun blame. If the
wishes of our people are ntlt c?rri?d
out, the responsibility is clear" To
the ot'j etion that it ill becomes him
to urge now ou others action on the
qu stum of the standard which w?g
not takeu by the House when he had
control of that body, Mr. Keed
makes tho reply that he was never in
a p isitioii during all the years of hi.?
Speakership to settle the m ?oey
??destion by deciding dt finit?ly upon
?tie standard. " I was rever so
placed," be says ; " m my time the
S.-nato was given over to badness
Now that the Booate \* It-publican,
let us," he continu? s, " make sure of
our standard. Whether anything
else should be our aim I am not here
now to discuss, but what we koow
we agree on let us have." la a large
country like the Uuited States it is
d IH'ult to secure agreement oo any
question, but now that, after years
?it laborious discussion, a vast ma
j >rity of the people have decided
upon ?ouud money. Congress should
put the decision of the people into
the form of a statu'e. It is often
objected by timid politicians afraid
of offending Bilverlte constituents
that it is useless to establish the ex
clu-ive gold standard by law, for the
reason that any subsequent Congress
may repeal such law. But this mode
of reasoning, if held to consistently,
would prevent all legislation, since
all statutes ate sublet to repeal.
Mr. Roed puts the matter in a nut
-ii--ll : '' If it be said that there is no
security that Congress may not re
peal, to that I answer : I should hope
not among a people still free Are
we never to settles anything bpcause
that settlement can be npset T Tnose
who have seen how long laws linger
kvhich have been outgrown need not
fear that a law once passed can be
oo easily repealed. If the people
wish to repeal it, it is their right, but
?t should iibver be left in the hands
? ?f any Administration to so adminis?
ter the law we have that its amply
an?l fully declared intent should be
trittered away."
Iacideutally the ex Speaker traced
the crude views on matters of money
and nuance rec-ntly in fashion in the
West and South to the immaturity
and inexperience of the Western
communities ia which Populism
. riginate'l. "Men in newly settled
parts of the country." h? explained,
'? have been in a verv d?ff ?rent posi?
tion from ourB. We have been
through all the experiences of a false
currency and have established our?
selves at li.st upon the basis taught
by that suffering which renders ex?
perience the best master. We hare
our records and do not wish to have
history repeat itself. The men in the
new country are facing what our
ancestors faced?an undeveloped
country, the riches of which they
long to possess. They made the same
mistake our anoestors made?that
money was what they wanted, and
not capital ; money which oould be
got for nothing, instead of capital,
which costB years, and trust and
fa th." But the errors due to imma?
turity generally yield to the lessons
taught by experience. 8ome States
formerly given over to monetary
error are now among the stauchest
supporters of sound money, and
heterodoxy oocapies a constantly
narrowing are?. I owa is instanced

The cholesterol and saturated fat in red meat may not the real culprit for heart disease as another compound-carnitine-could harden the arteries, according to U.S. researchers. The researchers said that gut bacteria metabolizes carnitine into trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite they previously linked to the promotion of atherosclerosis in humans, Xinhua News reported.
Further, the researchers said that a diet high in carnitine promotes the growth of the bacteria that metabolize carnitine, compounding the problem by producing even more of the artery-clogging TMAO. "Carnitine metabolism suggests a new way to help explain why a diet rich in red meat promotes atherosclerosis," said study author Stanley
Hazen, section head of Preventive Cardiology & Rehabilitation in the Miller Family Heart and Vascular Institute at Cleveland Clinic.
Prior research has shown that a diet with frequent red meat consumption is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk,
but that the cholesterol and saturated fat in red meat does not appear to be enough to explain the increased cardiovascular risks.
Researchers found a new connection between red meat and cardiovascular disease. With this new research in mind, Hazen cautions that more research needs to be done to examine the safety of chronic carnitine supplementation.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 15 September 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540915-TC-JAC-01; CL 29: 149-150
Chelsea, 15 Septr 1854—
My dear Brother,—This Note has come to me from Grahame.1 I despatched a Letter yesterday from somebody at Cöthen in Germany. This morning I hoped we should have heard from you, as "Thursday" was the end of your projected Leamington stay;—I conclude you will still stay there a few days longer; we guess farther that you may be away, on some Cheshire or other piece of duty, just at present,—the rather as I have not heard anything farther of Alick's news from Canada which were forwarded the other day.— Write a few words to poor old Grahame: he means most kindly, tho' his ways are grown a little wearisome, poor old man.
Darwin had an attack of Dysentery since he returned hither; but it did not last, nor seem (yesterday when Jane saw him) to have produced any mischief, tho' rather alarming in these days of epidemic. He and the Wedgwoods2 were to be off on this day, to Shrewsbury and the adjoining regions.
I am getting on as ill as possible with my work! The strength has gone quite out of me,—under the load of so many years. Heaven help me, I shall lose my wits if I can do nothing more; there is no use farther in my existing at all!— Plumbers came to mend my window; hammered away for two days, yesternight came rain, and the window—leaks precisely as before. Never mind, never mind.
I hear nothing from Jean; and this morning the Courier comes with no strokes upon it. From which I infer that the whitloe is still in a baddish way.—— I should like to hear, deliberately, what you are thinking, doing, my dear Brother, in this wild turn your affairs have suddenly taken: if I could in anything help you, you do not doubt how ready I should be! Good be with you always

Yeah, yeah, yeah...it cleans our skin (we've all heard this song before), but the reason we wanted you to see Bioelements Flash Foam Cleanser ($34) is that it's packed with natural fruit enzymes, green tea and vitamin B-5, meaning it also provides daily exfoliation. Look, there are days when we don't have much more than a "flash" to dedicate to our skin care. It's good to know that one product does two things so efficiently.

Oak Island OKs moratorium banning 'mega' homes
Published: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 10:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 10:46 a.m.
The Oak Island Town Council unanimously placed a 90-day moratorium Thursday any new homes larger than six bedrooms after hearing from residents asking for stricter rules on large-size houses.
The moratorium is designed to give the town time to work out rules and regulations for "mega-homes" on the island. The council hopes to develop and adopt the new regulations by mid-April.
The council will have a number of workshops with the town planning board on the matter. Concerns such as safety, parking and quality-of-life issues will be addressed.
"Just to be clear, we don't plan on talking about any actions we take until we have the workshops," Mayor Betty Wallace said during the meeting.
About 100 residents attended, most in favor of the moratorium. And more than 20 people submitted written comments asking the council for regulations limiting large houses.
"We have always been low rise and low density," said Jennifer Ray, a resident who spoke in favor of the moratorium. "We need to keep our haven."
The issue was sparked when Rakesh Kumar, a landowner, sought to build a 15-bedroom, 12-bath house near 6400 West Beach Drive. The size of the house, which is being advertised as the largest house on Oak Island, worried residents and Oak Island officials.
Although the structure won't be affected by the moratorium, construction of the 15-bedroom house is on hold because of a neighbor's appeal to the town's board of adjustments.
"The town needs to impose regulations not only on buildings over six bedrooms, but any homes with the primary purpose of being a vacation rental," said Eric Remington, a New Bern-based attorney representing Brett Halna Du Fretay. Fretay's property is next to the 15-bedroom house site.
Remington said some towns regulate licenses for rentals that track safety and ordinance compliance.
"This would allow the town to suspend or revoke licenses," he said, "or impose fines for violations."
The super-size vacation rentals have become more common at some Brunswick County beaches in recent years since sewer systems have replaced individual septic tanks that previously limited house sizes. A year ago, a 16-bedroom house went up in Holden Beach.
Since Oak Island's sewer system was completed, there are only two major limiting factors – mandated setbacks and height limits.
People in the real estate business said they are worried about strict regulations.
Kumar said renters don't want to ruin the family feel of the beach town.
"Please look at this rationally," he said. "There is very little correlation between the size of a house and the quality of people that rent there."
And Vince DeFreitas, who is building the 15-bedroom house, said bigger houses bring more tourists – the lifeblood of Oak Island's economy.
"It is the engine that drives the town," he said. "We need to be careful not to stymie that."

The record $250 million increase for the Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in President Clinton's $1.75 billion FY 2001 budget proposal will underwrite major improvements in the National Wildlife Refuge System, wildlife law enforcement, and State and community-based habitat conservation efforts.
"President Clinton is leaving a legacy of strong, healthy lands and wildlife for this and coming generations of Americans to enjoy," said Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. "The Fish and Wildlife Service is at the heart of the Administration's Lands Legacy Initiative. By providing funds for State Non-Game Wildlife Grants, the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund, the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund and land acquisition for the National Wildlife Refuge System, President Clinton is helping conserve irreplaceable wildlife habitat for every American who cares about our Nation's living resources."
"The proposed State Non-Game Wildlife Grants mark a real first in national conservation history," Babbitt added. "Never before has Washington offered a dedicated source of Federal funding to the States for them to tailor programs benefitting all wildlife."
The new State Non-Game Wildlife Grants funding will provide $100 million in grants for States, Tribes and U.S. Territories for non-game wildlife habitat restoration and conservation, planning, monitoring and recreation. Under the proposed distribution formula, States will receive slightly more than 90 percent of the funds, allocated by land area and total population. Tribes, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa and the District of Columbia all would receive a portion of total funds.
The $30 million slated for the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund is double the funding enacted in 2000. This fund supports voluntary, public-private partnerships continent- wide to protect and restore wetland ecosystems that serve as habitat for migratory birds and other wetland associated species. To date, nearly 1,000 partners have worked together on more than 700 projects in North America. This request will generate at least $30 million in matching funds and resources to enhance 150,000 acres of wetlands and associated upland habitat.
The Service also would receive $65 million, a $42 million increase, as part of the Administration's Lands Legacy initiative for the Cooperative Endangered Species Fund. This money is used to underwrite cooperative efforts with States and communities to protect open spaces and wildlife habitat, most of which lies outside of Service jurisdiction. The additional funds would be used as grants to States and communities to assist habitat conservation planning, Safe Harbor Agreements, Candidate Conservation Agreements and species recovery plans under the Endangered Species Act.
The President's budget also includes a $59.9 million increase in the Service's land acquisition budget, to $111.6 million. This would allow for the acquisition of more than 103,600 acres of land. This total includes $30 million for Everglades land acquisition for ongoing support of Department-wide efforts to protect this ecosystem that contains some of the most diverse habitats on earth.
"The President's proposed budget underscores the Service's commitment to conserving the nature of America," Service Director Jamie Rappaport Clark said. "Our National Wildlife Refuge System is a keystone in the nation's wildlife conservation efforts and providing increased funds to meet their operations and management needs helps them fulfill their vital mission. It will also provide the funds for a sorely needed rebuilding of our law enforcement program."
"We are asking for $52 million in 2001, an increase of almost $13 million, to begin a multi-year initiative to rebuild our law enforcement program. Today's law enforcement program is at a critical crossroads with a declining and under-equipped force facing increasingly complex challenges. Changes in technology and the rapid growth of the Internet pose a whole new set of challenges in stemming the illegal trade, unlawful exploitation, and habitat destruction that threaten our planet's wildlife," Clark said.
The Administration proposes to increase overall funding for the National Wildlife Refuge System by nearly $20 million to $282 million. The additional funding will address high-priority conservation and maintenance needs, as well as promote new recreational and educational opportunities for refuge visitors. These projects include concerted efforts to control non-native invasive species, conserve migratory birds and protect coral reefs. In commemoration of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial, $1 million will be available for visitor services and wildlife improvements on refuges on or near the explorers' trail. Additional recreational programs will focus on volunteer programs to help provide a wide range of conservation and interpretive services. Nearly all refuges are open to visitors; 290 are open for hunting and more than 300 for fishing. Last year, nearly 35 million people visited the Nation's refuges, a figure which the Service expects to increase as the National Wildlife Refuge System approaches its first centennial in 2003.
The President proposes an $82.7 million budget for the Service's fisheries program. The funding will support efforts to operate and maintain fish hatcheries as well as a variety of projects aimed at restoring fish populations such as salmon and steelhead. The budget includes an increase of over $1.2 million for Service hatchery operations. These funds will be used for native fish restoration in the Mississippi Basin and the States of Montana, Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Washington; with an increase of $500,000 slated to address deferred maintenance throughout the hatchery system. Other fisheries projects include mimicking natural river flows along California's Trinity River and studies aimed at protecting aquatic species while providing maximum flexibility for water users along the Klamath River. The fisheries request includes $11 million to fully implement the court-ordered Federal takeover of the subsistence fisheries program in Alaska. The Department plans to contract out 60 percent of resource monitoring work with the State and Native Corporations and other organizations.
The budget also proposes $22.8 million to support the Service's migratory bird program, an increase of more than $1 million. The bulk of the increase will be used to expand monitoring and conservation efforts for declining species such as neotropical birds which nest in North America. In addition, the Service will continue to develop science-based strategies to help control overabundant populations of geese and cormorants, which are creating a variety of ecological problems.
The budget also includes $115.3 million for the Service's endangered species program, a net increase of $7 million over the 2000 budget. Additional funding will help implement non- regulatory approaches to reduce threats to species and preclude the need to list species through additional Candidate Conservation Agreements with private landowners, States and local governments. It will also help the Service develop and implement Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) throughout the country.
"We will continue to use the flexibility built into the Act to work with our partners to develop HCPs, Candidate Conservation Agreements, and Safe Harbor agreements that meet the needs of wildlife and humans alike," Clark said.
The Administration also proposes to increase funding of additional habitat conservation programs to $73.6 million, up more than $2 million over FY 1999. These programs help prevent the degradation of key fish and wildlife habitats before listing species that depend on them is necessary and help fund cooperative conservation efforts with private landowners.
The President's budget includes an additional $3.4 million to support the Service's international conservation operations programs. The Service plays a major role in implementing U.S. treaty commitments for migratory birds, endangered species, wildlife trade, Arctic species, and wetlands. The Service will give special attention to bilateral programs with Canada, Mexico, Chile and other Latin American nations. Plus an additional $600,000 will support elephant, rhino, and tiger conservation efforts overseas.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 93- million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System of more than 520 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands, and other special management areas. It also operates 66 national fish hatcheries, 64 fish and wildlife management assistance offices and 78 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to State fish and wildlife agencies.

AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ryan McDade had 22 points and 12 rebounds and Northern Arizona hit nine 3-pointers in the second half to upset UCLA 67-63 Tuesday night for the Lumberjacks' fifth consecutive victory.
Northern Arizona improved to 6-2 for the first time since the 1985-86 season with its first victory over a Pac-10 team since 1998-99.
The Bruins (2-3), who had won their last two games by an average of 30 points, suffered their second stunning loss just four days before they travel to No. 19 Kansas. San Diego beat them 86-81 in overtime to open what has been a rocky season. The Bruins' troubles began even earlier, with two defeats in exhibition games for the first time since the early 1990s.
Aaron Bond added 14 points, Kelly Golob had 13 points and Kyle Feuerbach had 12 points, including four 3-pointers in a row in the second half, for the Lumberjacks.
T.J. Cummings scored 16 points and Dijon Thompson added 14 points for the Bruins, who led by 10 points in the first half and then trailed most of the second half.
Northern Arizona trailed 32-26 at halftime, but stunned the Bruins by hitting three consecutive 3-pointers to open the final 20 minutes.
After UCLA tied the game at 44 on an inside basket by Andre Patterson with 12:48 remaining, the Bruins never led again.
The Lumberjacks, who shot 69 percent from 3-point range in the second half, kept firing away without any hands in their faces. Bond hit a 3-pointer, then Feuerbach hit four consecutive 3-pointers to give Northern Arizona its largest lead 60-52 with 5:21 remaining.
A small contingent of Northern Arizona fans could be heard loudly in the crowd of 5,736 as UCLA's supporters watched mostly in silence.
Cummings scored eight of UCLA's final 13 points, including a tip-in of Jason Kapono's 3-pointer that bounced off the rim, to get the Bruins to 64-63 with 34 seconds left.
After Bond hit two free throws for a 66-63 lead, Kapono missed a 3-pointer, McDade grabbed the rebound and got fouled by Thompson with 2.8 seconds left. He made the first and missed the second to close out the victory.
The Lumberjacks had only nine healthy players available and three of them did all the scoring in the first half.
Northern Arizona controlled the boards 29-25 and its 19 turnovers were three more than UCLA.

With the recent death of beloved performer Robin Williams, it's only natural to wonder what really happens to us all in the great beyond?
Now a new musical about the human desire to communicate with those who have passed on will open in previews at the Snapple Theatre on September 13 with an official opening on October 25.
Hereafter Musical is the brain child of comedian turned CBS executive, Vinny Favale, Vice-President of Late Night, where he oversees "The Late Show with David Letterman." Having lost his own brothers, Favale was touched when he read about a teen killed in a car wreck due to a drunk driver. He reflected on the family's loss and felt that he knew what they were experiencing. Favale began writing a song, and others followed, all exploring the afterlife from the perspective of both the living and the dead.
Some years after beginning the writing process, Favale teamed up with performer Frankie Keane, who experienced her own losses, and partnered with him on the book and the music.
Keane is a featured performer in the musical as well as Deborah Tranelli, Pierce Cravens, Paul Blankenship, Jill Shackner, and Late Show announcer Alan Kalter.
Hereafter Musical has already experienced life (pardon the obvious pun.) It began as a staged reading at the Roy Arias Theatre about four years ago, followed by a recording of the music. Then a series of concerts in the tri-state area took place, culminating in a limited engagement at Theater 80, with all sixteen shows sold out.
The hereafter is surely a topic that continues to intrigue and provoke discussion and speculation, so I look forward to seeing this new musical in an open run at the Snapple in the Fall. Performances of Hereafter Musical will be on Saturdays at 4:45 PM.

First of all I want the wish everyone a very nice long week-end! Memorial Day weekend officially kicks off summer for our all our American friends. It's a time to share with friends and family, enjoy the sun, go out, relax and ….drink. There's nothing more refreshing than sipping an ice cold cocktail on a hot day at the beach or on a terrace, don't you agree?
Which cocktails are your favorite? I don't personally like strong drinks….My friends all call me "gay" because of that lol. My favorite would be the Cosmopolitan: Vodka, cranberry juice, a hint of Grand Marnier, and orange zest, yummy!
Tell me which one is your fave and feel free to share your recipe with other A4A users.
Cosmo? Really gay. I go for Vodka and Sprite, dash of energy drink. Do I order these at a bar? No, because they screw it up. I make these at home. At the bar it's usually Corona and shot of tequila…over and over again.
the five questions that i ask my date:
#1: how much money do you have?
#2: you do have a house, not an apartment…correct?
#3: what are your feelings on benghazi?
#4: how much money do you have?
#5: does wendy williams annoy you as much as she annoys me?
And remember all those who have sacrificed so much!
I agree, the Cosmo is pretty, but an almost equally gay drink that's my all time favorite is the "Rose Kennedy."
Vodka, tonic and a splash of cranberry for color. This drink is so unknown outside the northeast and Palm Springs, the bartender at the Rihanna concert last month didn't even know what it was.
Cheers to Summer!

Almost as good as a Buddha Hand Martini but the Buddha Hands are not in season.
Cuba Libra–at home or restaurant/bar—so basic but good
Does that Rose Kennedy come with a black cocktail napkin?
Whiskey and ginger ale, for me!
Homo made screwdriver: Vodka, Orange juice with as squirt of cum on top.
Screwdrivers are my favorites.
The original being vodka and orange juice.
The flat head screwdriver being vodka and pineapple juice.
Another that I've found to be good lately is a Vegas Bomb.
Crown Royal, Dekuyper, and Red Bull.
I'm thirsty…
No name I know of for this one:
1 oz tequila
1 oz Sloe Gin
Ginger Ale
Double shot of vodka and tonic in a tall glass with a lime wedge, hell ya!
I have not had a drink in close to 4 years, but if I did have one I would want a banana colada like I had a bartender making me for a week straight in Puerto Rico back in the day..You need a good blender, a banana,about 3 oz. coconut cream,and about 4 good shots of golden or dark rum,and some ice..Whiz that up real good,and there it is…Or at the Chinese restaurant I once worked at..a FOGCUTTER..Hawaiian punch mixed with a bit of pineapple juice, a shot each of rum, vodka,gin, and ginger brandy…Fabulous,and VERY easy to get plastered on!!
the old school cocktail I love is the "old fashioned" order one of those out and watch the reaction. my favourite summer cocktail is the old standby. gin and tonic with a really big lime
Simple and delicious I drink Crown Royal with Canada dry….yummm
Moscow Mules
2 shots vodka
juice from 1/2 lime
1/2 bottle cock-n-bull ginger beer
fill a copper mug (must be mixed in copper mug) with ice, add vodka, then lime and finally the ginger beer.
I like Vodka cranberry, Thanksgiving style, made with Stoli orange vodka with an orange slce
A drink I came up with years ago I call the captains kraken
Take a pilsner glass
Add about 2 shots of captainn morgan
Add monster to fill the glass
That's all there is to it.
I love Laser beams or Red Devils!
This was not a long weekend to spend with friends/family. This was supposed to have been a weekend of remembrance of the sacrifice of that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines made in combat.
It is stories and commentaries like this that the perpetuate the belief that Memorial Day is just a free day off to spend at cookouts and for retail sales events.
I sincerely hope that you do a better job in the future of recognizing those that gave so much for those who so easily forget.
I love a long island iced tea!
I am going to be trying the Blue Cotton Candy Margarita!
Jameson's Irish whiskey over ice and Fresca.
Good stuff no calories or sugar.
Try it before you condemn it.
Never feel bad the next day.
Memorial Day is not really about celebrating. It's about remembering all those that gave their lives so that we could have freedom. Remember that. It's okay to have a drink and a cookout but first of remember those who are no longer with us because they gave their lives.
i enjoy either a good cold beer or seagram's 7 over ice
AJ said it better than I could. This post really shouldn't exist.
So if there are gay men there must be cocktails?
What's next, the techno playlist and must-have capri pants and cropped tanks?
How gay do you think we all are?
Cocktails vs. Drinks is a posting I'd like to see.
I like the Cosmo. Going to start calling it the rose Kennedy from now on, thanks for that tidbit. A Cosmo in a bar never tastes right to me. I make them at home to debilitating ends:
3oz. Vodka
1oz. Diet cranberry juice
.5oz. Triple-sec
1/4 wedge lime
In the summer months, when it is hot I like a good old fashioned G&T again with plenty of lime. Otherwise I tend to drink scotch, neat…
as a friend of bills, I urge all my fellow homersexuals to please refrain from the use of alchohol for its the devils concoction and will do nothing but put you in a bad place. As my mama used to tell me, Bottoms Up .
I like Piña Colatta if that's one gay drink then that's ok w/ me. That's my drink w/ my gay friends but overall I like having just a regular brew or if I'm celebrating I love tequila shots w/ a Coke chaser. Love a nice screwdriver from time to time. Now the summer is here, I love the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita's! I can't get enough of those! cheers! Lol
Vodka, orange and cranberry juice, with a splash of pineapple juice. Or, vodka, ginger ale with a splash of cranberry juice.
Thanks, Rob . . .
You put it so well . . . a day to remember those that have given their lives so that we can enjoy what we have here.
Flag has been on the house since daybreak. Not a military family here either. It's just what this holiday is about. A visitor from Europe a few years ago noted that he was amazed at the number of US flags he'd seen flown during his visti … even during the non-holiday period.
The drink of choice is vodka on the rocks with a splash of … depends on the time of year, the weather and mood.
Not hung up on one Vodka brand either. Vodka-holics who swear by one brand have been shown to not be able to tell the difference after several sips.
My personal favourite has always been a Californian Root beer
1 part Kahlua
1 part Gallliano (which you can stir or float)
2 parts club soda
1 part cola
It's also occasionally served with the occasional splash of beer but that's not really my cup of tea personally.
Yes, Memorial Day is for remembering those who died ….but remember they fought for our freedom…so we have to celebrate life , that's the best thanks to them!
This holiday is a combo of remembrance and celebration, remembing those that have given their lives for our country and celebrating them. Being prior military I celebrate my fallen comrades because they deserve nothing less. My weekend drinks are going to be vodka & pineapple juice, and Long Islands with orange juice instead of coke, they slide down just right 😉
Long Island Iced Teas – way too many of them!
Scooby snack
1 part melon
1 part coconut rum
1 part creme de banana
3 part pineapple juice
Top with whipped creme
I love a LONG Island(er) ice tea. I got a Brooklyn Long Island Ice tea once and it seemed 3 times stronger than the regular one but can't find the recipe online. Cheers to summer men!
Memorial day isn't about drinks, bbqs, camping or summer. It's about remembering or fallen heroes. Everyone seems to forget that and instead go to the store for the big sale.
Back in my drinking days I would always like a ice cold Grey Goose martini. 3 or 4 of those and you're ready for anything. And I do agree, please remember why we have this holiday. To all who served and gave their lives for this country, you have my upmost respect. To their families as well.
I agree with Dave cuba libra but with out ice
Scotch or Scotch and water with no ice and no fruit to take away the flavor of the Scotch.
Mojito or black opal.
cheap warm vodka
AFTER visiting the cemetery, to honor my fallen family and friends. We will celebrate the country we live in with grilling of burgers and brats. Beer usually goes best with this.
But there will be a pitcher of margaritas too!
1 ½ oz. Dulce Vida Tequila
½ oz. Agave Nectar
2 Strawberries
Orange juice
Muddle Strawberries and agave in shaker.
Add tequila and a splash of orange juice.
Shake gently.
Strain into a highball glass of ice.
Garnish with a slice of strawberry.
BTW…. Barbecue is NOT a verb. It is a noun. You GRILL steaks and burgers, you smoke a brisket or a pig.
Another twist on the Cosmo:
In a shaker add…
1 oz. each Absolut or better Peach Vodka, Triple Sec, Grand Marnier.
Two oz. cranberry juice.
Plenty of ice.
Shake well. Strain into a frosted martini glass. Garnish with a lime twist.
If that's too strong for some tastes (WTF?), add just a little club soda.
Can anyone tell me what drink has cranberry juice, Hennessey in a chilled martini glass.
I'll remember my dad who served in the army and my father-in-law who served in WWII with a shot of E&J and glass of Merlot, respectively. My drink…
6 oz glass
1-1/2 shot of Absolute Citron
Dash of Triple Sec
Dash of lime juice (sweetened is okay)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Three maraschino cherries
Fill the glass with ice and top-off with tonic water
My favorite Summer drinks: Lemon drops(Vodka and Fresh Lemonade) Vodka and Pineapple juice,Vodka and fresh Peach juice, Coconut Rum over ice.And if its really "HOT AND HUMID"
Wooder(as we call it in Philly) because I cannot drink alcohol when its really humid!
A Scarlett O'Hara been drinking these since college, many years ago. Southern comfort, cranberry, with a twist of lime. A little bit sweet, with a strong kick.
The perfect Summer drink. Absolut Vodka, Pineapple juice, pink lemonaide, and a splash of grenadine. Tall, cool, and refreshing.
Bombay Sapphire
Tonic Water
Twist of Lime
It always hits the spot on a warm summer day!
Blue Hawaiian.
Nothing is better or more historic than a Pimm's Cup. A few splashes of Pimm's with tonic or sprite. Pimm's cups have been served for decades at the Wimbledon Tennis games.

I've fallen off my cadence with answering reader questions of late, so I'd like to correct that today. The question in question is a fairly straight forward one about how to find good recruiters. This one is actually lifted from a comment some time back that I thought would be more conducive to a post than a comment response.
