El Toro Birthday Party (36 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My younger son's 3rd birthday fiesta fell into place at the last minute. His request was a "cow and horse" party. Doing a farm birthday just didn't seem to fit him and I didn't want to repeat the cowboy theme which I had covered a few months prior with my older son's Cowby & Ninja party. Then it hit me that his zodiac sign is Taurus -- The Bull. El Toro. Perfecto.
To seal the deal, the week of the party I serendipitously found my husband's red scarf from San Fermin, the famous "Running of the Bulls" in Pamplona, Spain. The red handkerchief turned out to be a fun prop and accessory for my boys.
Horses came into play, too, because they do, in fact, have a role in the traditional bullfighting performances. So my son got his cow and horse party after all.
Though this was for a 3-year old party it could easily be transformed into a guy party for any age. The manly bull as the central theme pairs well with equally bold colors: red, white and black. Though bullfighting is prevalent in many places around the world and the bull is a central figure in these place, I focused on Spain, drawing from my time spent there years ago. It goes without saying, however, that though I use elements of bullfighting and the "Running of the Bulls" in the party my desire was to make it more of a symbolic representation with the bull as the central character. And that bull could even be a peaceful bull, as in the acclaimed book (and one of my favorites): The Story of Ferdinand.
If the party had been larger and at home I envisioned a spread of Spanish tapas to feed the crowd. As it was, we had the party at the Portland's Children Museum so we opted for pizza and Manchego cheese & crackers. My focus became the El Toro dessert table.
I still vividly remember travelling through the Spanish countryside and seeing the huge black Toro billboards cut in the shape of the iconic bull silhouette. Once I settled on the birthday party theme I knew that I had to include this symbol in the party. The invitations were the logical place to start. Complemented with red, white and black craft paper form Michael's, El Toro was the main image. The same craft paper paired with the bull emblem in miniature form made simple yet striking labels for the desserts.
And now for the array of goodies:
Agua and kid-friendly sangria (i.e. fruit punch or any type of juice) were Spanish-inspired drinks.
Fruit skewers {banderillas} were simple representations of the colorful arrows that are used in one stage of the bullfighting performance. The fruit kabobs were easy, pretty party food that added a healthy component to the meal. I used watermelon and strawberries, two of the birthday boy's favorite fruits. However, any skewered food (sweet or savory) would work great.
Caballo {horse} cookies represented the horses in the party. I followed a tutorial on Pinterest to ice and decorate the horses that were a huge hit with the kiddos.
The El Toro cake was the dessert centerpiece. I made an almond poppy seed cake with raspberry filling for the bottom tier (to fit the red, white and black color scheme.) For the top, I made a white vanilla cake with a homemade caramel filling {think Spanish flan i.e. creme caramel}. I purchased an Andalusian (Spanish) bull figurine on Amazon.com for the cake topper, which quickly became a favorite toy with the birthday boy.
I originally planned to serve churros at the party, a typical Spanish treat. However, getting churros delivered to the party (because they need to be consumed right as they are cooked) became a logistical nightmare so I made churro cookies (dipped in chocolate) instead. When packaged in cute, little decorative bags they made perfect party favors to go.
Tres Leches cake is an easy (and oh so delicioso!) addition to any dessert table. Though it is a stretch if following a strict menu from Spain, I was able to justify its inclusion because it is a popular dessert in many countries in the Americas where bullfighting is also a central cultural tradition. Maraschino cherries on top (the traditional garnish for the cake) coincidentally fit the color scheme. Skewering the cherries with red and black party {toothpick} swords was the icing on the cake,....or should I say cherry on top!
To say Muchas Gracias! to our guests, bubble party favors were easy and simple. I wrapped them with red and white-striped washi tape. The little decorative bags filled with leftover party treats rounded out the favors.

The microalgae Crypthecodinium cohnii and Schizochytrium are rich sources of Omega-3 oils and DHA, and can be produced commercially in bioreactors. This is the only source of DHA acceptable to vegans.
The 18 carbon α-linolenic acid (ALA) has not been shown to have the same cardiovascular benefits as omega-3 oils, DHA or EPA. Currently, there are many products on the market that claim to contain health-promoting "omega 3", but contain only ALA, not EPA or DHA. These products contain mainly plant oils and must be converted by the body to create DHA, and are therefore less effective. DHA and EPA are made by marine microalgae. These are then consumed by fish and accumulate to high levels in their internal organs.

Senior Samantha Peszek and sophomore Danusia Francis have each earned Pac-12 Weekly honors, as Peszek was named Gymnast of the Week and Francis Specialist of the Week honors for the first time this season.
For the second week in a row, Peszek won the all-around with a career-high score, this time scoring a 39.7 on Sunday in the win over Utah State and Bowling Green. Peszek also earned victories on vault (career-high-tying 9.95) and bars (9.975) and was second on beam (9.925) and fourth on floor (9.85). Her marks helped UCLA earn its third 197 score in a row and its best home score of the season, 197.050. Peszek is 2-for-2 in all-around wins this year, having just started competing all four events on Mar. 7. She has totaled 13 out of a possible 24 individual victories. This is her first Gymnast of the Week honor of the season. She also has three Special Performance of the Week awards.
Francis earned her first weekly honor of the season after scoring her first career perfect 10 and only the eighth 10 on beam in UCLA history. Francis, who has the most innovative beam routine in collegiate gymnastics, finished a flawless routine by sticking her sideways side aerial to layout full dismount (a move that only she has done). She also scored 9.875 on floor to place third and 9.85 on bars to tie for fifth. Francis has scored 9.9 or better on beam in seven of eight meets this year and has four event victories.
California's Jessica Howe was named the Freshman of the Week.

It's shameful that the president of the United States, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the leaders of the country's surveillance agencies refuse to accept consensus reforms that will keep our country safe while upholding the Constitution. And it mocks our system of government that they worked to gut key provisions of the Freedom Act behind closed doors.
– Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, original cosponsor of the USA Freedom Act
In what will come as no surprise to any of you, there are very few members of Congress I have even the slightest degree of respect for. However, Justin Amash is one of them.
Rep. Amash is 34 years old and was first elected to Congress in 2010. He has been on my radar screen for several years now as one of the few elected representatives who act more like statesmen than politicians. He has been on the right side of many civil liberties related issues, including his opposition to the NDAA's provision that allows for the indefinite detention of American citizens without a trial. More recently, last summer he authored an anti-NSA amendment known as the "Amash Amendment," which was defeated by establishment authoritarians in both political parties. I covered that story in my post: NSA Holds "Top Secret" Meeting to Stop Powerful Anti-Spying Amendment.
Being the fighter that he is, Amash regrouped and came back with an anti-NSA spying bill with some teeth to it: The USA Freedom Act. This bill concerned the establishment to such a degree that Senator Feinstein launched her own competing bill, which believe it or not, intended to codify the NSA's unconstitutional practices into law.
In the end, what the status quo did was water down the once robust USA Freedom Act into oblivion. Don't take my word for it, Justin Amash wrote the following on his Facebook page:
Today, I will vote no on #HR3361, the #USAFREEDOMAct.
I am an original cosponsor of the Freedom Act, and I was involved in its drafting. At its best, the Freedom Act would have reined in the government's unconstitutional domestic spying programs, ended the indiscriminate collection of Americans' private records, and made the secret FISA court function more like a real court—with real arguments and real adversaries.
I was and am proud of the work our group, led by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, did to promote this legislation, as originally drafted.
However, the revised bill that makes its way to the House floor this morning doesn't look much like the Freedom Act.
This morning's bill maintains and codifies a large-scale, unconstitutional domestic spying program. It claims to end "bulk collection" of Americans' data only in a very technical sense: The bill prohibits the government from, for example, ordering a telephone company to turn over all its call records every day.
But the bill was so weakened in behind-the-scenes negotiations over the last week that the government still can order—without probable cause—a telephone company to turn over all call records for "area code 616" or for "phone calls made east of the Mississippi." The bill green-lights the government's massive data collection activities that sweep up Americans' records in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

LANGHORNE, Pa., July 13, 2009 – Dr. Benjamin Chack is among ear, nose and throat specialists on the medical staff at St. Mary Medical Center, who are now performing Balloon Sinuplasty™ to relieve symptoms of chronic sinus infections. The FDA-approved minimally invasive technology uses a small catheter and balloon to quickly open and expand blocked sinuses. This advance in sinus surgery provides patients with a less invasive option while reducing overall discomfort.
"This is a valuable addition in our toolbox for endoscopic sinus surgery, and St. Mary is in the top 10 percent nationwide in volume and good patient outcomes in performing this unique procedure," says Dr. Chack.
Balloon Sinuplasty™ is considered an evolution in endoscopic sinus surgery. With the patient under general anesthesia, a small, flexible balloon catheter is placed through a nostril into the blocked sinus passageway, and then inflated to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway by pushing aside bones which comprise the sinus ostia to create wider openings. The procedure restores normal sinus drainage and function and can significantly reduce post-operative pain and bleeding.
Dr. Chack will present the benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty™ at The Sinus Forum 2009, a national conference on minimally invasive alternatives for sinus surgery, to be held in July in Washington, D.C.
More than 37 million Americans suffer from at least one episode of acute sinusitis each year, making it one of the most common chronic health problems. Patients typically suffer headaches, congestion, fatigue and other symptoms that can impact their physical and emotional quality of life. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus lining caused by bacterial, viral and/or microbial infections as well as structural issues like blockages of the sinus opening (ostium). If the sinus opening (ostium) is closed, normal mucus drainage may not occur – a condition that can lead to infection and inflammation of the sinuses. Often, the resulting nasal pressure, congestion, runny nose and fever, run their course in a few days. If sinusitis occurs frequently or lasts three months or longer, it may be considered chronic.
Until recently, most sinusitis patients were treated with either medical therapy, such as antibiotics and topical nasal steroids, or conventional sinus surgery, such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) to enlarge the sinus opening. Medical therapy can help alleviate symptoms for 75 to 80 percent of patients. For those who get little relief from medical therapy, sinus surgery is often the recommended option. However, FESS, although an endoscopic procedure, often requires the removal of bone and tissue in order to open up blocked sinus passageways. Many patients choose to live with painful sinus conditions rather than undergo FESS surgery.
With the Sinuplasty™ procedure, there is less surgical intervention, bleeding and pain are reduced, and recovery time is quicker, says Dr. Chack. Many patients can return to normal activities quicker and have had significant improvement in their symptoms and quality of life.
Physicians who have been specially trained to perform Balloon Sinuplasty™ at St. Mary Medical Center include Drs. Benjamin Chack, John Gallagher, Judith Gallagher-Braun, Howard Hammer and Jeffrey Briglia, practicing with Bucks ENT Associates, and Drs. Mark Burnstein, Brett Moses, Joel Jaffe and Lee Miller, practicing with ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery Associates.

"People that trust you are very gullible."
These are the words spoken by 12-year-old Morgan Geyser told detectives after she and a friend lured another classmate into the woods to stab her to death to please imaginary creature Slender Man. On Wednesday, June 4th,, Reuters shared the latest details in this horrific story. The two girls accused of nearly killing their classmate have been thoroughly interrogated, and some of their comments have made it to the public -- some of which indicate that the problem is far deeper than a eerie belief in a make-believe monster.
Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier plotted together for an incredible amount of time to perfect their attack with hopes that Slender Man would take them to his mansion in the woods, where they would live. After plotting and scheming and luring their chosen classmate into their inner circle, she was invited to a sleepover. However, that sleepover turned into terror when they lured her into the woods under the guise of playing "hide and seek" and bird watching. Together the delusional duo stabbed their victim nearly 20 times -- and it's an absolute wonder that she survived the attack -- something that the girls spoke out after their arrests, and with very little emotion. Most disturbing, however, were the words used by one of the girls while talking about the attack.
Geyser's words to describe the brutal attack were disturbingly flippant and jovial, as if she was mocking the fact that she had just tried to murder another person. She said that she and Weier walked through the woods with the girl, and after passing a public restroom and some trees.
"Stabby stab stab," Geyser said (of attacking her classmate).
The lack of emotion is something else to note in these new developments. In the following quote, Morgan Geyser speaks of half wanting her to live, and half wanting her to die.
"The bad part of me wanted her to die. The good part of me wanted her to live. It was weird that I didn't feel remorse." -- Morgan Geyser
Both Geyser and her co-defendant are charged as adults -- which means they can be facing some pretty serious prison time for attempting to kill the unnamed victim. However, Geyser's attorney insists that she is mentally ill and has no criminal record -- therefore she should be treated accordingly. One has to wonder, though, if she were legally insane would she be able to plot for as long as he did in hopes of committing the crime?

Hadoop, Oracle and cloud computing
By llaszews on May 20, 2011
In a meeting today with an Oracle partner, a conversation regarding Hadoop and the role Oracle plays in this open source distributed 'database' solution. Hadoop plays a significant role in cloud computing as cloud-centric companies such as Facebook Twitter, Google and Yahoo all use Hadoop. Hadoop has several interesting facets: 1. It is a used to distributed data processing across a grid of hardware servers. 2. It is a column-based solution This means it is intended for data warehouses. 3. It is a write once, read many solution. 4. Hadoop is often created, accessed and queried using Java. A solution from Oracle that offers clustering of data (outside of a database engine) is Oracle Coherence. The interesting thing is that Oracle Coherence and Hadoop are very complimentary solutions. This is because Hadoop Java Objects can be clustered using the Oracle Coherence solution (Oracle Coherence clusters Java objects). Will Hadoop displace the Oracle Database in cloud deployments? Probably not any time soon with all the business applications that run on COTS applications built on Oracle. In addition, Hadoop's data warehouse (write once) architecture does not lend its self well to consumer to business and business to business environments where OLTP is a must.

A north Chico woman is searching for a dog that bit her Tuesday in the hopes that she can avoid uncomfortable rabies.
85-year-old Peggy Nay, an avid cyclist, was returning home from a 15 mile bike ride Tuesday when she came across the path of a man walking his dog near East Lassen Ave.
Nay says the dog's owner came close to let the dog sniff her bike and that's when the dog suddenly jumped up and bit her arm.
The bite isn't serious but the wound did require a trip to a walk-in clinic to be closed up.
Nay says she doesn't want the man or the dog to get in any trouble.
"I just don't want to have the rabies shot," Nay says. "It was a beautiful dog, well cared for. He (the owner) was really nice, he told me to go home and put peroxide on it. I want to make sure that the dog had his rabies vaccinations."
Nay describes the dog as looking similar to a belgian shepherd, with fairly long silky black hair that also had some brown and white markings.
Neighbors tell nay they have seen the man and his dog in the Waterford Dr area near East Lassen.
If you have any information please contact Chico police.

In accordance with guidelines recommended by the Association of
American Law Schools, the University has not established a specialized
"pre-law" major, but rather, encourages prospective law students to
undertake a course of study that develops "comprehension and expression
in words, critical understanding of the human institutions with which
the law deals and creative power in thinking."Various
undergraduate majors offer appropriate preparation for law-school
education. The most frequently selected majors of successful pre-law
students at the University are:
The University provides designated faculty pre-law advisors who are
familiar with law school admissions requirements, application procedures
and curricula. It also sponsors pre-law forums with attorneys as guest
speakers, internships in law and judicial offices, campus visits by law
school representatives, and student visits to law schools to assist
undergraduates in planning.

My entry to for the TIGSource Assemblee competition. All the graphics and sounds were donated by other people in the first part of the competition (see readme for credits) - all the code is mine. Here's the game's thread.
Essentially 2 games in 1. First you have to create a level by shooting tiles that fall from the top of the screen, then you have to play through that level, avoiding (or killing) the skeletons. The difficulty of the second part is dependent on how you played the first part, with a higher score being awarded for harder levels.

Miami Dolphins OTAs begin today; players chime in on Twitter
The Miami Dolphins begin organized team activities today at the team's training facility in Davie.
Meetings, weightlifting and conditioning are on the agenda.
And while fans are eager to see what first-year coach Joe Philbin & Co. will bring to South Florida in terms of coaching, Dolphins' players were clearly eager to prove the naysayers wrong verbalizing their excitement to get started on Twitter.
One thing is clear, the negative stigma that has surrounded the team this offseason has not deterred the spirit of most.
Life moves on without wide receiver Brandon Marshall (traded to the Chicago Bears), four-time leading tackler and former team captain Yeremiah Bell (cut by the Dolphins) and quarterback Chad Henne (now with the Jacksonville Jaguars). And of course, no more Jason Taylor after he announced his retirement following last season.
Now come players such as quarterback David Garrard, cornerback Richard Marshall, and re-signed defensive tackle Paul Soliai, who hope to continue building on the Dolphins' strong finish from 2011.
So what did the players have to say heading into OTAs?
Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis (@VontaeDavis21) wrote about his early wakeup call, sometime at about 6 a.m.: "Goodmorning World!! I beat the roosters up lol."
Dolphins center Mike Pouncey (@MikePouncey) also wrote about his early morning: "Head 2 da sky feet 2 da ground ready to work… #BMS."
Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline (@brianhartline) wrote: "Good morning Tweeps. Day 1… Let's Go! #blessed."
Dolphins running back Reggie Bush (@reggie_bush) wrote Monday night: "First team meeting with the new coaching staff tomorrow pretty excited to get this season started off the right way! Find up!"
Then he retweeted the following with his own comment at the end: "RT @amypickering: @reggie_bush Good Morning. Early bird gets the worm Mr Bush! Have a great day! (agreed!)."
Marshall (@TheMarshall31) wrote about heading into his first day with the Dolphins: "First Team Meeting with New Coaches ready to get to work #Dolphins."
Just a little sampling of how the Dolphins feel heading into today's workouts.

TUCSON, Ariz.?- University of Arizona womenˇ?s golfers Mary Jacobs and Alison Walshe will compete in a few international events before the start of school to wrap up an already busy summer.
Jacobs, a senior to be from Godfrey, Ill., will represent the United States at the World University Games in Nakhonnayok, Thailand.? She is part of a three-woman team that includes Selanee Henderson of UC-Irvine and Jennifer Tangtiphaiboontana of Stanford.
Fifty-four-holes will be played at the World University Games on Aug. 14-17.? It is the first time that golf has been included as part of the World University Games program.
An honorable mention All-American in 2006-07, Jacobs posted seven top-20 finishes and shot nine rounds at par or better.? She had the second lowest stroke average on the team (74.23).? Jacobs was also honored as a second team all-Pac-10 selection.
Walshe, a senior-to-be from Westford, Mass., won the prestigious North & South Womenˇ?s Amateur on July 22 with a 3 and 2 over Jenny Suh in the championship match.? She won six matches over eight days at the Pinehurst Resortˇ?s No. 2 Course in Village of Pinehurst, N.C.? Incidentally, Walsheˇ?s last wins in the event were by 6 and 5, 4 and 3, and 3 and 2 tallies.
Walshe also represented the United States at the 32nd Annual Fuji Xerox U.S.A. vs. Japan Collegiate Golf Championship in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., July 11-13.? Japan claimed the title in a tiebreaker, topping the U.S. in total strokes, 2,650-2,657.
During the competition, Walshe posted a 2-0 mark in singles play, the only U.S. woman to win both matches as an individual.? She and teammate Jacqui Concolino were defeated in the pairs competition.
Additionally, Walshe will compete in the 107th U.S. Womenˇ?s Amateur Championship, Aug. 6-12, at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind.
In her junior season in Tucson, Walshe posted a 73.35 stroke average and nine top-20 finishes, including three tournament victories, to lead the team.? She also carded the Wildcatsˇ? low round (67) and low tournament (207) of the season, and collected 12 rounds at or under par.? Walshe was also named as a first team All-American by the National Golf Coaches Association and was a first team all-Pac-10 selection.
UAˇ?s first day of classes is Aug. 20 and the Wildcats first competition is scheduled for Sept. 14-16 at the Mason Rudolph Championships in Nashville, Tenn.

On Feb. 4, various sources reported that Canadian company Bionym is going to apply biorhythm security methods toward Bitcoin usage.
The company's Nymi wristband, which can be pre-ordered for $79 and is scheduled for release later this year, contains an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) which senses, records, and interprets various biorhythms of a person's heart. These readings are unique and difficult to counterfeit, so they can serve as an alternative method of security to today's passwords. The device focuses on heart-wave characteristics that are constant, so as not to render a person's Bitcoins inaccessible after a long run or while a person is feeling nervous. A Bluetooth connection allows the Nymi to send the EKG readings to various computing systems where security is needed, including PCs, iPhones, and vehicles.
Bionym has decided to apply this new security technology to Bitcoin by including a Bitcoin wallet application with the Nymi. The idea is the private key of the Bitcoin wallet file, which allows users to send Bitcoins to other people, would authenticate through Nymi, making it more secure from hackers, who routinely manage to steal Bitcoins permanently from wallets that lack sufficient security measures. The company could also integrate the Nymi with existing wallets for Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies derived from it, such as Litecoin, Namecoin, Novacoin, and Peercoin.
"People have heard about Bitcoin but they're worried about the risks," says Bionym President Andrew D'Souza. "Every Nymi will ship with the most secure Bitcoin wallet – it could be the killer app."
"People don't know where their Bitcoin funds are stored, and who can access them," says Yevgeniy Vahlis, Bionym's chief cryptographer. "The Nymi's wallet application makes the answer clear: the wallet is physically stored on the Nymi.

With Spring Training just a few weeks away from opening up, the Chicago Cubs will have many goals that they will try to accomplish for this upcoming season. The 2013 season was not the greatest in Chicago as it saw a last place finish and losing over 90 games in the process. Set to kick off camp on February 13th, the Cubs will be determined to change their fortunes in 2014.
For the Cubs, their first goal will be to stabilize the pitching staff. They have to determine the long-term future of Jeff Samardzija. Chicago was rumored to have countless trade options this winter on the pitcher, but have yet to make a move. If a trade is unable to be reached, might a contract extension be in the works for the Opening Day starter? Also this winter, the Cubs have added new arms to a bullpen that has struggled severely the last two seasons. Being able to turn around that aspect of the club will go a long way into changing the fortunes of the team as a whole.
The Cubs would also like to see current leaders Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro reach new heights as the faces of the franchise. In 2013, both showed signs of struggles, but without these two playing at an All-Star level, anything else the Cubs do would be all for not. Chicago brought in new manager Rick Renteria in the hopes of helping Rizzo and Castro get to that level. In 2014, the two youngsters figure to rebound and become the leaders of even younger talent down the road.
Lastly, the Cubs need to have a goal of improving the fans' confidence level. Around Wrigley Field, the word "hope" is known all to well. On the heels of 197 losses in the last two years, the fan base is growing restless now more than ever. The 2014 season will need to show significant signs of progress for the fans to remain "hopeful" in the plan. The future of the team is however promising, as the Cubs have seven players named on the MILB Top 100 list. Currently, the outlook is still promising on the North side, but now results need to begin to show out on the diamond.

If you're a baby boomer, chances are that you are probably starting to experience a few aches and pains. Maybe it's your knees, your stomach or something even more serious. Call it a rite of passage or whatever, but let's face it: getting older isn't much fun.
In my hunt for medical remedies, I have seen all types of doctors for variety of ailments. I am in relatively good shape for my age, but still things have started to happen, and finding solutions is kind of like going on a scavenger hunt. Sometimes it takes awhile to find what you need. Often your bag can remain empty.
Of course there are traditional doctors, along with those practitioners that have gained more acceptance recently like chiropractors and acupuncturists. But today I decided to try something different: I booked a healing session with someone who was recommended by a fellow who writes for the Wall Street Journal.
I am open to just about anything if it makes me feel better, aside from consuming donkey balls, or something way out of the ordinary, but this avenue was a new one for me. In booking an appointment with the Klee Ministry, I was dismayed that I had to wait a whole year before I could see this Ken Klee. He must be good.
My appointment finally came, and I was nervous and excited about it. Klee Ministry is nestled off San Vicente in Brentwood. Quiet shaded streets welcomed me as I drove up to his home. Inside the property, there was a waterfall and koi pond, both recipes for serene contemplation. I was ushered to a small room where a variety of candles, crystals, and other spiritual items were on display.
Ken Klee's background as a bankruptcy attorney seems to be 180° from his spiritual work. But if you go to his website, you will see that his lineage in both fields is quite impressive, and many have sworn by his ability to heal.
In the initial phase, I sat down before him and his assistant and they gave me an overall body scan. It was interesting to watch them, as it almost looked like they were sculptors, in the way they physically addressed the airspace around me, using various hand movements to adjust me spiritually and physically. I thought of crossing guards as I watched them move their hands up, down and sideways. Maybe that's how energy fields are addressed, with various stop and go movements.
Some of the techniques that they employ during these sessions involve chakras, life force energy, neuro emotional techniques, pulsar healing, DNA healing or theta healing, to name a few.
A few additional treatments were used to unblock certain areas, and to promote healing. After two hours, I felt refreshed, calm and relaxed.
Apparently I was in relatively good shape compared to some of the patients Klee usually sees. I was grateful that compared to some who are afflicted with more serious conditions, my health is relatively sound. I made the suggested donation, and hoped for some healing. It was more than I was planning on spending, but since I usually blow most of my money on nice meals, massages, and vacations, why not do something to address the root of some discomfort for a change?
As with any alternative medicine, there's no guarantee that a particular treatment will work, but in general I feel better, and I am hopeful that this session will have a beneficial effect to integrating my health. Stay tuned…

Robin Roberts is about to step up to the judges' table tonight on "Dancing with the Stars" as the show's very first celebrity judge. She got a special tour and a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on before the big night. The segment was aired on "Good Morning America" on March 31 as the co-host was welcomed with open arms from the three judges.
Carrie Ann Inaba showed Roberts her very own trailer for her day on set. She even presented her with a white robe with her name engraved on it and her own judges' notebook to possibly critique the dancers as she watches their performances tonight.
Inaba also told the 53-year-old Southerner that the dancers are not allowed in the production office and the judges are not allowed near the dancers as well. Len Goodman, and a chest-baring Bruno Tonioli, also greeted the "GMA" co-host warmly. When Roberts asked the threesome on how the dancers were taking to the new switch up, it sounded like the group was not too thrilled about the prospect of losing their current partners. The judges did agree that it will be quite interesting to see who the audience has chosen to switch them up with.
The fun part of the whole tour was the room with all of the gorgeous dresses that the girls get to choose from to wear on Monday nights. All of the glitter and color was quite impressive. The women did end up bumping into pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy on the way through the tour. It was obviously a no-no for the judges to see the dancers, so after a quick kiss and a warm hello, off they went to finish it up.
The tour ended with Roberts getting her very own scoring paddle from Carrie Ann Inaba to use for the dancers tonight.
How do you think Robin Roberts will do as a judge on "Dancing with the Stars?"

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is accepting written proposals from media professionals to report on research supported by NSF's Division of Polar Programs in Antarctica.
In particular, NSF is interested in proposals from national broadcast networks — or network affiliates in major markets — that reach significant non-English-language audiences in the United States or are engaged in partnerships that would allow them to reach such audiences.
NSF envisions selecting journalists to deploy whose reporting would help make the broadest possible viewing segment of the nation's television audience aware of the importance of science conducted in the polar regions, including the significance of that science to those who live in the Earth's temperate regions.
Deadline to apply: July 31, 2014.

There's a black-metal band in the desert of Aztec, New Mexico. That band is Aetranok. The band has recorded a demo, one titled Grande Invokation, and is spreading their dark and brutal sounds throughout New Mexico and beyond. Take Five secured the words of guitarist Apophis, guitarist Meretrix, and drummer Maelum, all of which appear below.
Tell me about your band and your musical approach.
Apophis: "Satan—the embodiment of freedom. We like it to be dark and we just kind of do whatever the f*ck we want. Blasphemy makes a good point, too. And, lyrically, it can go from having a strong, deep concept or background to just we thought it was kvlt."
Meretrix: "Pure grim brutality. And having fun with it. That's all there is to it."
Maelum: "It's dark, brutal black metal. And we enjoy the freedom that comes with it."
Tell me about your 2012 demo Grande Invokation. What can listeners expect to experience? Is it possible for interested parties to get a copy, and if so, where can they get one?
Apophis: "Well, we enjoy it for one (laughs). And, hopefully, [listeners will] feel the power and drive put into it. We had to deal with a lot of drama trying to get this done, and it's inspired more drive, power, and creativity for our next demo. So, listeners should feel that they can expect more from us in the future. Hell, we've already started on new material."
Meretrix: "It's unique to this area. Black metal is generally unique, and since there isn't much of it around here, it stands out and makes a stronger statement. Listeners will experience a new breed of black metal on Grande Invokation and albums to come."
Maelum: "It's a change for this area, there's a lot of country, blues, and some screamo. And we felt that there was a need for change. Listeners can expect to experience black metal in an all new way that still sticks to the roots of black-metal majesty. We haven't gotten any label deals, so distribution is a little problematic. But, if people are interested they're welcome to message us on Facebook or ReverbNation and we can work something out."
What was it about black metal that inspired you so much to form your own band? What would you say are some of your most profound influences in the genre?
Apophis: "It has no restrictions; it doesn't fit into a box. I grew up listening to it and, generally, out of anything else I listen to it stood out—messages and music. From the nekro sound of Mayhem and Gorgoroth, the melodic articulation of Emperor and Immortal, and the merciless bombardment of Marduk and Dark Funeral—nothing has made a bigger impact on my writing and playing than black metal. Other than Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner, but even then black metal reigns supreme."
Meretrix: "I always had stronger death-metal roots when it came to writing and playing. But, I liked the idea of musical freedom, and the spirit of it, corpse paint and all. It all speaks about who and what we truly are. One song can be absolutely serious and deep and the next can say f*ck that; then you have Abbath giving no $h#ts and having fun. Yeah, black metal."
Maelum: "The unique sound and darkness, as well as musical freedom, are what truly inspired me. Bands like Gorgoroth, Dark Funeral, and Marduk really gave the insight and inspiration for the music."
Name a band that would surprise the metalheads reading this interview that has inspired your music.
Meretrix: "System of a Down, because they never gave a f#ck. Think about it."
Apophis: "Mindless Self Indulgence, Throatplunger, and Coal Chamber."
Maelum: "This is the Apocalypse. They did what they wanted and enjoyed it."
How has living in New Mexico (Aztec) influenced your musical approach?
Apophis: "Well, there's 'church street' . . . with a bunch of churches on it. That always fed the 'f*ck Christians and all the self-righteous sheep who flock at these places' (laughs). It's a very religious town and some people are very nice and support our music, even though they don't understand it for sh*t. So, even then it's kind of hollow."
"In a way, the geography of the area is quite inspirational. It's opposite of where conventional black-metal bands come from; the north. So, it holds a whole different source of inspiration here in the desert. It's desolate, empty, and terrible. I'd rather be stuck in the snow than lost out here."
Meretrix: "Around here it's mostly blues and cuntry, neither of which I like. But, the high desert has its advantages. One can easily get brutally inspired to write some gruesomely kvlt material."
Maelum: "Again, there's a lot of blues and country around here, and that gave me a drive to give something back that we don't have a lot of around here."

How to Advertise Your Law Practice on Social Media Networks
Advertising your law practice on social media networks can help you generate new client leads. In particular, paid social media ads can help you promote your law practice to a mass of individuals outside your firm's regular following.
Read on to learn how to effectively advertise your law practice on social media networks by utilizing paid promotional advertisements.
5 Simple Steps on How to Advertise Your Law Practice
Step 1: Design a High Converting Landing Page
Every social media campaign you use to promote your law practice should be tied to a custom landing page. Since people have short attention spans, you should quickly grab their attention by getting straight to the point. Do not create a 700 word landing page. Keep it short and simple. You should include graphic elements that make your page POP! The page should include a highlighted call-to-action that is clearly visible to your readers.
Step 2: Pick a Social Network
I recommend you advertise on a social network in which your law firm has the most social engagement. Unfortunately, not all social networks allow for paid advertisements; however, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook do.
I usually advise my clients to advertise on Twitter. Twitter provides the best bang for your buck and will generate a great amount of exposure for your law practice. Check out my latest article on Law Firm Social Media Marketing Basics for a detailed overview regarding paid social advertisements to help market your law firm.
Step 3: Create a Catchy Advertisement
You should spend time researching and drafting a catchy advertisement. Make sure your advertisement includes a call-to-action that will incite your followers to click on the link to your landing page.
Step 4: Convert & Follow-Up
Most social networks will provide you with campaign insights to help you measure your law practice's overall social marketing performance. Use these insights to help you convert new clients leads. For instance, on Twitter, you will be able to see who responded, re-tweeted, and/or favored your paid advertisement. I recommend you send a follow-up email to these individuals in an effort to convert them into new clients.
Step 5: Keep it Ethical
Before you use a paid social advertisement campaign, make sure you review your state bar rules regarding social media advertisements. Your state bar may require you to use a advertisement disclaimer for your paid solicitation.
I hope you found the tips above helpful. Please share this article with other lawyers whose law practice could benefit from paid social media advertisements.

All is one.
There is nothing to grasp.
Learn to still the mind.
God does not come "down" from some place in the sky only to speak with a select few.
God is in ALL; God IS all.
John 1:1 King James Version, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
If you cannot hear the word, so to speak, "you" are what stands in the way.
The presence of God never leaves us. It is we who venture in other directions, consciousness wise, meandering here and there, allowing our minds to wander, and to lead us astray. It is we who lend our focus to those things that will keep our energy and consciousness focused in the lower states of experiencing in this earthly realm.
Repeat in the light, example, and vibration that was set forth and exemplified by St. Francis: "It is God who sees through these eyes, speaks through this mouth, and hears through these ears."
Take this with you as you walk thorough each day. Practice it. Feel it.
If single-pointed focus is what you seek, choose a tool that works for you, and get to practicing! Learn to still the mind, so that you may see what IS.
The word is ALL THAT IS, it is everything that you can see with your eyes, it is everything that you can feel with your body, and it is everything that you can "feel" with the senses and realities that are beyond the body, that are beyond this physical realm of form.
If it is your desire to learn ever more about this truth, you will find a way to teach yourself this truth.
The only "thing" that prevents awareness of what IS, is one's own clarity or non-clarity of mind.
Learn to employ the mind when you are seeking to actively create in this world of form. Learn to rest in the states that are beyond mind, when you are not in an active state of outward creation.
Mind is the medium through which we create in this world of form.
If/when you are participating in a process of "assuming," you are not "seeing" (seeing as in being fully present in/with what is). Assuming is a mentally active process and leads to a sort of blind-sightedness with regard to what indeed, IS.
Silence your assumptions. These are learned through experience, and in this sense, they are very limited. What the mind and body have learned through experience are but tiny points of reference when it comes to All That Is.
Learn to see/experience from the place that is beyond mind. You can be the horizon i.e., you can learn to move through this world from the space as within that is open to All That Is, or you can continue identifying yourself with actions that are akin to remaining but a mere point on the horizon.
Ignorance is the mis-identification of the Spirit with the earthly. Meditate on this. This may appear logical to you on many levels of experiencing, for your soul knows this truth. However, this practice is shared so that your mind too, can more fully wrap itself around this truth and thus free itself of any illusions in action that it and the body may still be participating in as of now. This is about bringing this "understanding" into the higher vibrational levels of experiencing in this world.
The Higher or Awakened Mind, the mind that works for/with you and not you for it, abides not in a state of seeking, but rather in a flowing acceptance of what IS.
Allow the Divine flow to flow through you.
Presence and stillness of mind deepen your experience with/of others, and in ways that go far beyond seeing others as mere reflections of the small point that is "you."
Continue in your expansion, and in recognition that this is an on-going and ever-deepening experience.
Awaken to the space that exists just beyond "you-me" consciousness.
See/feel the spark of God as it flows through all of creation.
Above all, Know Thyself, and To Thine Own Self Be True.

This week just hours ahead of Tottenham's Monday night match at home to Sunderland reports emerged from The Lane claiming that Tim Sherwood would be leaving the club in the summer regardless of where they finish. Tottenham have since denied the reports but the writing appears to be on the wall.
Sherwood took over in December and made a good start, restoring Adebayour to the first team set up, which has proved to be an inspired move, as well as giving youngster Nabil Bentaleb his chance. His Spurs team looks significantly more offensive compared to AVB's cautious set up but not that much has changed. He hasn't been able to stop heavy and costly defeats to those who lie above them and apart from convincing wins against the Tyneside teams, they have looked a million miles away from a team that are ready to challenge for a top four finish.
As a spurs fan, I like Sherwood, his honesty, commitment and dedication to the Tottenham cause have been refreshing, but with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's track record, Sherwood's reign is nearing its end.
So who will replace him? There are many names in the frame but only a few stand out as potential candidates.
The most obvious is Louis Van Gaal, who will be leaving as coach of the Netherlands after the 2014 world cup in Brazil. An experienced manager, whose track record includes honours with Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He has vast experience all across Europe, but never in the Premier League, a league that is unforgiving and has had more managerial casualties than any other, not forgetting that Tottenham have added significantly to that statistic. But the last man to bring success to Spurs was Redknapp, who was roughly the same age as Van Gaal when he was appointed. Van Gaal's public announcement that he would love to manage Tottenham makes him the bookies favourite. Maybe Tottenham need to go back to basics, and take a more cautious approach to management, by offering the job to a proven winner, instead of an ambitious pretender.
Jurgen Klinsmann is another option. Fondly remembered for his great goals and celebrations for Spurs back in the 1990's, he would surely be the fans favourite. Currently he is the manager of the USA national team, and has steadily improved their hopes of international success, but it's a dead end job! He is also tied down until 2018, and has looked unwilling to leave in the past. But if one team were to entice him surely it would be Tottenham.
Another outsider is Mauricio Pochettino. The Southampton manager is still young, but has done a tremendous job with Southampton. He is relatively inexperienced, but unlike the others, knows what it takes to be successful in the Premier League. He has built his team around an English backbone and understands the pace at which the game is played. But appointing him would be another risk, and even though Pochettino has a bright future, a club like Tottenham is too soon.
I for one would love to see Klinsmann given the job, but if you believe what you hear; Van Gaal is a done deal. Whoever the new man may be, they will want money, and possibly a summer clear out. Baldini appears to have got off lightly yet again, and a new manager would surely see him surplus to requirements. Either way, big changes are needed at The Lane, and for once, Daniel Levy has to make the right decision.

The movie successfully translates the surrealism of European comics onto the big screen. In fact, many viewers may see the film as "camp", considering that it doesn't take itself very seriously. There are lots of sexual jokes which are pretty good. The visual style is creative and is influenced a little bit by S&M. Some viewers may see some homoerotic undertones between Barbarella and the Great Tyrant, which may have been intended. Honolulu sci-fi fans should watch this film.

Hawaii state law currently has an exemption of prosecution, for undercover police officers who have sex with prostitutes, while investigating prostitution cases.
The rule was on the chopping block according to a March 21, report by Fox News.
Revoking the officer's right to have sex was part of a new bill imposing stronger penalties against persons who pay for sex and persons who employ or coerce sex workers in aiding acts of prostitution. The charge to prostitutes in Hawaii is a slap on the wrist, petty misdemeanor.
Reportedly, "Authorities say they need the legal protection to catch lawbreakers in the act, and strict internal controls prohibit misconduct," said Honolulu Police Maj. Jerry Inouye recently told the House Judiciary Committee.
Human trafficking experts and other police, have gone on record saying that police officers having sex with prostitutes, "is unnecessary and can further victimize sex workers, many of whom have been forced into the trade."
Expert Derek Marsh says the exemption is "antiquated at best" and that police can easily do their jobs without it.
In considering the testimony of police officials, Rep. Carl Rhodes, amended his bill with prejudice, to keep the option of sex open to undercover officers.
Rhodes stated, "I was reluctant to interfere in something that they face all the time. If they think it's necessary to not have it in the statute, this is one area where I did defer to them and say, I hope you're not having sex with prostitutes."
A proponent of the police exemption, Melissa Farley, Executive Director of the San Francisco-based group Prostitution Research and Education says, "Police abuse is part of the life of prostitution," places without such police protections finds "women who have escaped prostitution" commonly report being coerced into giving police sexual favors to keep from being arrested or harassed.
According to Fox News, numerous cases of police corruption linked to sex workers, are under investigation. In Philadelphia, a former officer is on trial facing charges of raping two prostitutes after forcing them at gunpoint to take narcotics.
A former West Sacramento, Calif., officer is awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of raping prostitutes in his police cruiser while on patrol. And last year in Massachusetts, a former police officer pleaded guilty to extorting sex from prostitutes he threatened with arrest.
