Welcome to Mystery of Existence
Dear reader,
Welcome to Mystery of Existence.
These writings are a record of my own explorations, and will perhaps be of interest to you too.
Feel free to share your insights and comments, or ask questions.
Enjoy 🙂
June 2015 update: I am working on an eBook with a selection of posts from this blog. To help my selection, I have added a rating system. Feel free to rate. Thanks!
November 2015 update: I have the book idea(s) on the back burner for the time due to health and other life circumstances.

Adyashanti: There is a simple secret to be happy
There is a simple secret to be happy. Just let go of your demands on this moment.
– Adyashanti
To me, this is an invitation to see what in me is scared of letting go of demands on this moment. Where in my body do I feel it? How is it to include that in what's noticed, allowed, and rested with? What are the stories (images, words) connected with it?
Where in my body do I feel it? How is it to include that in what's noticed, allowed, and rested with?
And then…. What are the stories (images, words) connected with it? What am I most scared would happen? What is my earliest memory of feeling this fear?
Matt Licata: For they will let go of you when they are no longer needed to protect you from the surging, achy, tender aliveness of your very own vulnerable heart
As long as we remain tangled in the trance of unworthiness, we will inevitably postpone fully being here, and continue to place the burden on others to take care of our unlived lives for us. Which they cannot do.
Look carefully and you will see how the unmet material of your body, your heart, and your nervous system continue to appear as your lovers, your friends, and your family. As your perception is cleansed, you may see how it takes form even as the colors in an erupting summer sunset.
While the trance once served an important adaptive function, the dream has remained alive within you and is longing for the light of your awareness. Like all harbingers of integration, the dream is aching to be unwound and integrated back into the majestic vastness that you are.
The aliveness you are longing for – the intimacy, the connection, the full-spectrum participation – is always, already here, and available now. You need no longer wait until you first "heal your past," feel safe all the time, manifest your fantasy partner or career, replace the hopelessness with hope, find the answers to all your questions, or wiggle into some spiritual state you heard about. It is here now.
Honor the role that the dream characters have played in your life up to this point – the unlovable one, the unworthy one, the "broken" one, and the "unhealed" one. You need not struggle with them any longer. You can call off the war. You need not send them away, practice aggression toward them, "heal" them, or "let them go." For they will let go of you when they are no longer needed to protect you from the surging, achy, tender aliveness of your very own vulnerable heart.
To let in the implications of this is utterly exhilarating. And completely terrifying simultaneously. One world is ending so that the true world may appear from behind the clouds of separation.
– Matt Licata
Very beautiful and a valuable pointer.
Playing it out
When I got the strong chronic fatigue a few years ago, I had a fear of never being able to work again. I saw myself alone, homeless, shunned, pitiful, suffering.
For a long time, I pushed away those images, thoughts, and feelings. I was aware of them but didn't want to see them or go into them. That's normal and understandable. And if it means avoiding conscious obsessing, it's even healthy.
At some point, I realized I had to face these scary thoughts and feelings. I couldn't avoid them anymore. So I played out the scenario. I saw myself in that situation, played it out to what I feared the most, and was present with the images and feelings. And it didn't seem so scary anymore. I had already lived it in my imagination. It became more familiar and known. I didn't need to spend so much energy resisting it since I had already met it and played it out.
Can of coke
When I was five or six years old, I was in London on vacation with my parents. At the end of a long day of walking in parks, in museums, and along streets, I was completely exhausted. The one thing I was looking forward to was having a can of coke. (We didn't have cans of coke in Norway at the time.) We went to a street vendor, he only had bottles, and I had a complete meltdown.
I did an inquiry session on this, and a lot came up. Deep despair. Grief. Sadness. Hopelessness. Anger. Frustration. A feeling of not being seen. (They didn't take into account how exhausted I was.) Even a deep survival fear from being completely exhausted, not feeling seen, and not getting the one thing I felt I needed and had looked forward to.
There was also a wish to punish them for making me so exhausted and not seeing how exhausted I was. This comes from a mix of hurt and anger, and it's really a wish for communication. For them to understand and take it seriously.
I see how this deep disappointment and all the other emotions and identities have come up in situations in my life since, especially around relationships.
I miss out because believe I am missing out
Our beliefs and identities tend to be self-fulfilling. We perceive through the filter of these beliefs and identities. We act as if they are true. And, to some extent, we get the consequences as if they are true.
For instance, one of my core beliefs is of missing out. I am missing out.
If I get caught up in that belief and the feelings that come with it – sadness, grief, hopelessness – then I'll be less engaged. I'll be less active in seeking out what I want. And that means I'll miss out. I believe I miss out, so I miss out.
A story but no feeling
Sometimes, an inquiry client is aware of a charged story but not where they feel it.
In that case, some pointers can be helpful.
Does the client feel it all over the body? (They may look for it in a more limited area.)
Do they feel it in the face or head? (They may look for it in the torso.)
Do they feel it somewhere, but dismiss it as something else? (Stomach ache, headache, itching, pressure that they think is due to something else.)
If they were to point to where they feel it, where would they point? (Without thinking about it in advance.) Do they notice feeling it there?
From my late teens, I have known that I have dampness in my system according to Chinese medicine.
I assume it's connected to some of my health challenges, including the fatigue and brain fog.
Adam S. has given me Vortex Healing sessions to strengthen and optimize my system, and he has started working on the dampness more directly. After that, we'll work on the emotional issues behind it which he says seems to be a sense of deep aloneness and feeling sorry for myself. ("I am totally alone, nobody is here for me, it's all just horrible".)
I see that these are also connected to beliefs and identities about missing out and being unloved.
About the dampness, I have noticed since my teens that dry and warm climates work much better for me than cold and damp, fireplaces are helpful when it's cold or damp, and it's also much better for me to avoid foods like dairy, sugar, and bananas.
Less charge
Through inquiry, the charge in what we explore often lessens or goes away.
And that makes it easier to relate to it in a more intentional and sane way. We are less caught by the charge, and less caught in a struggle with the charge.
That is a very practical and sensible reason for doing inquiry, for exploring how my mind creates its experience of something charged – whether it's an emotion, craving, threat, identity, discomfort, or something else.
Trump as Loki
And if you have the sickening feeling this is only the beginning, you're not alone. Trump, I've often said, is a manifestation of Loki, the god of misrule. Misrule breeds chaos. Chaos breeds violence. A political party that chooses Loki for its leader is a political party with a rank-and-file choosing chaos.
– from Trump is Loki in Commentary Magazine
This is from a few weeks ago, and it's only one facet, but it's still a good point.
Trump seems to delight in creating chaos, and he is more than willing to say untruths in order to create chaos. It gets people riled up, whether they latch onto what he says out of their own anger, or whether they react to it in disbelief and anger.
On the same team
We are on the same team, the unpleasant experience and me.
It makes a big difference when I get to see this, and to the extent I recognize it.
We both want freedom from the suffering. And, really, what we want is to be free to experience what's here.
It comes from a wish to protect this human self. It comes from a deep caring. It comes from love.
We are both presence. Consciousness. Love. We happen within and as presence.
The unpleasant experience can be an emotion, a body contraction, scary thoughts, emotional pain, physical pain, cravings, discomfort, uneasiness, and more. And although it may help to (think we) know this, what really helps is exploring it and see what we find. Is it true that we are on the same team? What do I find when I take a closer look? When I explore it through dialogue, heart explorations, inquiry? When I gently rest with it?

Fiona Robertson: What if it were okay to be this?
As we deepen into inquiry, questions sometimes spontaneously arise to meet our experience. A couple of days ago, I was inquiring into 'wrongness', both within me and beyond me, and the words, 'I'm not supposed to be this' came up, accompanied by a huge feeling of failure. Everything I was supposed to have, everything I was supposed to be, all of it failed. After feeling it all, this question came: 'what if it were okay to be this?'
Even the question itself was a little shocking, as if I'd never entertained the possibility that being this could ever be okay. Then came the answers: well, it it were okay to be this, I'd be content. I'd relax. I'd have more fun. If it is okay to be this, then that's been a whole song and dance about nothing.
The question has stayed with me. Yesterday, on my way to the dentist, I felt anxious. What if it were okay to be anxious? Oh….well, that kind of takes the wind out of the sails of the self and all it is supposed to do or not do in order to be or not be what it's supposed to be. Or not.
Oh, the tangles we tie ourselves up in. And the relief and simplicity that dawns when we ask a disentangling question. We can't know ahead of time which question will resonate most in any given moment, so keep looking and experimenting. It's the willingness to keep looking, more than anything else, that is key.
– Fiona Robertson on FaceBook
Protecting, care, love
Here is one way to explore what in my experience appears as an enemy, whether it's an emotion, a state, emotional or physical pain, or something else.
Thank you for protecting me.
Thank you for your care for me.
Thank you for your love for me.
I repeat each sentence long enough so I start to feel it and then deepen into it. I may also get some insights into how the emotion, state, or pain is there to protect me, or comes from a deep caring for me, or a love for me, whichever one it is. Then move on to the next sentence.
It helps me shift my relationship from seeing it as an enemy to befriending it, and seeing how it's genuinely there to protect me, and comes from a deep caring for me, and love for me.
It's helpful to stay with each sentence for a while before moving on to the next one. If I do it too quickly, or try to skip a step, then the jump from where I am to recognizing it as coming from a wish to protect, and especially that it's coming from caring and love, may be too big. When I stay with each one for a while, I can ease into it and start to feel and see it.
When I say the sentences, it's while resting with the emotion, state, or pain. Within presence, noticing, allowing.
Decline of the US empire
Military over-extension marks the decline of many empires. Currently, the US is a good example.
At the beginning of the Iraq war, Johan Galtung said the war would shorten the life of the US empire with a decade or more, and that may well be true if it's not an under-estimate. Of course, the decline is and will probably be gradual and somewhat slow with no one obvious ending point.
It's interesting how many in the US seem to be in denial that the US is an empire, which also means they are in denial of the current decline and inevitable fall of the US empire.
Just to be clear, this is about the US losing its international significance, not the immediate breakdown of the US as a nation. Although given enough time, that too is inevitable, as it is for everything and everyone.
Listen to an interview with Alfred McCoy, editor of Endless Empire, from University of the Air.
I also wrote about this in my "rants" blog around the time of the GW Bush version of the Iraq war.
Sometimes I look forward to something and it doesn't happen.
I feel disappointed. Sometimes, I even feel heartbroken.
I know and sense it's old and not really about the current situation, and it feels a bit childish to get so disappointed. That may be a reason I haven't thoroughly looked at this yet. The embarrassment and the thought "it's childish" serve as gatekeepers for entering and exploring the wound behind it.
I recently had this disappointment triggered again.
The situation triggering disappointment, what does it say about me? What do I tell myself about me in that situation?
I am missing out.
I am unloved. I am uncared for.
I am alone.
These thoughts are familiar to me and came easily. I want to see what more is here.
Others have more fun than me. They are enjoying life more than me. They are getting something I am missing out of.
My life is not worth living. It's hopeless. It will be like this forever. I am unloved by God. I am unloved by life.
This second set of thoughts are also familiar to me, but I hadn't seen that they were behind this disappointment and the emotions and states that came with it.
What's my earliest memory of feeling so disappointed?
I am 6-8 years old and in London on vacation with my parents. I am exhausted from a long day walking around in parks and galleries, and I want and am looking forward to my favorite thing which is coca cola in a can. (We didn't have coke cans in Norway.) The street vendor doesn't have it, and I am grief-stricken and angry. My parents buy me a souvenir knife (a small folding knife with ivory on it and a picture of a beef eater). I throw it hard at the ground.
If I bring myself back to that situation, what does it say about me?
Life is over. My life has no meaning. I am unloved. I am uncared for. Life is against me.
Seeing these thoughts, I also see that it makes sense I felt the way I did. The sadness, grief, hopelessness, frustration, and anger didn't make sense in the context of the current triggering situation, but they do in the context of this early situation where I was worn out and had looked forward to one thing that I didn't get.
These thoughts spun around in my mind, and although I was not consciously aware of them I certainly experienced their effects in terms of emotions, moods, and states. As I identified these thoughts and wrote them down, I got to see what created these feelings and states, and I got to see that it all makes sense and that it has to do with early experiences in my life. I got to see the innocence of it all. And there is some relaxing of these dynamics just from identifying the thoughts and seeing the innocence of it.
Translate knowing into words
Some inquiry clients report a knowing but no words or images. They know that a feeling is X (a threat, the one who isn't good enough, a craving for sugar), but are not aware of any images or words connected with it.
There are words or images there, otherwise, there wouldn't be a knowing. Without a story, a feeling would just be sensations.
One way to help the client explore this is to ask them to translate the knowing into words.
If the feeling could speak, what would it say?
What words fit the feeling?
What does the feeling mean?
This gives the client something to work on. He or she can look at or listen to the words, and in that way begin to separate the story from the sensations.
The reverse of this is when a client is aware of the story, but say they don't feel it anywhere. In that case, some other pointers can be helpful. For instance, does the client feel it all over the body? (They may look for it in a more limited area.) Do they feel it in the face or head? (They may look for it in the torso.) Do they feel it somewhere, but dismiss it as something else? (Stomach ache, headache, itching, pressure that they think is due to something else.) If they were to point to where they feel it, where would they point? (Without thinking about it in advance.)
Love hurts?
Some say love hurts.
In my experience, love is love. It's kindness to my own experience, others, and life.
What hurts is the very human parts of us that sometimes get caught up in it. The beliefs, wounds, identifications, expectations, insecurities, longing, and so on. Anything in us with a charge on it.
The two – the love and the human parts – are often intertwined in our life and experience, but they are actually distinct from each other. And we can unwind these two.
Eventually, we can more and more often allow love to be love, and our human hurts and hangups to be just that and be met in that love.
Stephen Porges: If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer.
If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer.
– Stephen Porges
This is so simple and so essential.
Since I am from Scandinavia, I feel that good social safety nets are crucial for helping people feel safer and through that reduce a lot of other individual, social, and even ecological problems. When we feel safer, we are able to broaden our circle of concern, keep the larger picture in mind, and act in a more sane and sensible way.
Matt Licata: Provide sanctuary for these visitors and their wisdom will be revealed
When you find yourself triggered. When your emotional world is on fire and you are hooked into shame, blame, and rage. When you notice you are practicing self-aggression, spiraling into addictive behavior, or complaining about your life… slow way down. Return into the aliveness of your body and listen. For your need yourself now more than ever.
Something is attempting to break through, out of the murky darkness and into conscious awareness. Some unmet feeling, some abandoned aspect of yourself, some underlying state of vulnerability. What is it? What is knocking on the door of your heart, longing to be reorganized and integrated back into the wholeness?
As a little one, it was intelligent to split off from overwhelming experience and aspects of yourself that you could not metabolize at the time. But these pieces are looking for you. They come as emissaries of revelation and carriers of an untamed intelligence and creativity. As ambassadors of the somatic world, they serve as gatekeepers of portals into aliveness, connection, and intimacy with all things.
Whether you choose to provide a home for these ones – or you do not – they will never relinquish their search, and will continue to appear as your friends, your children, your emotions, your lovers, and your life circumstances. They will even come in disguise as the mountains, the ocean, the blue, and the purple, to remind you of something you may have forgotten.
Look carefully as your unlived life is always appearing before you. Provide sanctuary for these visitors and their wisdom will be revealed.
– Matt Licata
We are love?
Some say we are love, and I would say that too.
Sometimes, love is felt. And always, love is what we are.
Say we are this presence that all experience happens within and as. Then acting from love is inherent in us. It's as natural as one hand pulling out a splinter from the other.
The feeling of love comes and goes, as any experience does. And what we are doesn't come and go. It just is unnoticed at times, when the mind is temporarily lost in its own self-created drama.
Never know what's left
I have found that I never know what's left in terms of healing and awakening.
There always seems to be deeper layers asking for healing at a human level. Sometimes, it's familiar and asking for a deeper healing, sometimes it's more new and surprising.
And there is always an invitation for further clarification and deepening of the awakening. Sometimes, it's familiar. Sometimes, it's surprising and something I couldn't have predicted.
Both are ongoing. And that's how I would want it since it keeps things fresh and surprising.
Buber's I & Thou and inquiry
Buber's main proposition is that we may address existence in two ways:
- The attitude of the "I" towards an "It", towards an object that is separate in itself, which we either use or experience.
- The attitude of the "I" towards "Thou", in a relationship in which the other is not separated by discrete bounds.
One of the major themes of the book is that human life finds its meaningfulness in relationships. In Buber's view, all of our relationships bring us ultimately into relationship with God, who is the Eternal Thou.
I haven't made many connections between traditional philosophy and inquiry here, but I thought I would mention a few (pretty obvious) things. For instance, Martin Buber's I and Thou and how it relates to inquiry.
As I mentioned in the post about the client and her dog, inquiry can soften any sense of boundaries which in turn opens for a natural sense of intimacy. This intimacy can be with ourselves, our immediate experience, others, the wider world, life in general, and presence (aka God, Spirit).
As we explore how our mind creates its experience of objects, beings, separation, boundaries, and any fears or compulsions created from this sense of separation and boundaries, our experience of these changes. It becomes much lighter, less invested with emotional energy. And that opens for a sense of intimacy.
Matt Licata: There was an idea that as you healed, you would feel less
There was an idea that as you healed, you would feel less. That as you awakened, the emotional spectrum would narrow, into to some safe, consistent, happy, resolved calm. But you are seeing that love continues to ask you to feel more.
An old hope that as your heart opened, your vulnerability would diminish, the shakiness would fall away, the tenderness would yield… but you are more raw now than ever before.
As the veil parts around you and your vision purifies, you wondered if you would be more detached, not care quite so much, and rest as the "witness" beyond it all, in some safe place of observation. But everything and everyone matter now more than ever. Love is everywhere, longing to take form through you as its vessel.
Something new is being born inside you, but something else is dying. The invitation is to stay present to the uncertainty, the chaos, and the groundless reorganization. To open into it and to mine the jewels buried in the darkness.
There is an aliveness in the death that is immensely creative, but cannot be known by ordinary means. While it may be terrifying and disorienting to the mind longing for resolution, the body knows… the heart knows. Trust in the fires of disintegration.
While there has been a longing for this level of openness – and for the exhilaration that can accompany it – you may also be aware of a certain fragrance of sadness within and all around you. This is not the conventional sadness of the mind, where something is perceived to be missing, but is the sadness of pure love, pouring out of your exposed heart.
You are willing to give your heart to others and to this world, for you are seeing that this is why you have come here.
This sadness is your true home. Rest there.
– Matt Licata
Welcome home
This came up in a conversation with a client today.
When we welcome shunned parts of our experience, it's a welcome home.
We can support this welcome through ho'oponopono, I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you. Or saying things like thank you for protecting me, thank you for your love for me. (We ask for forgiveness for how we have treated these shunned parts of our experience, we love them since they are us, and we thank them for still being around and for showing us these dynamics. Also, these parts are here to protect us, and they come from love in a very real sense.)
What I was reminded of with this client today is another phrase: Welcome home. And even, welcome to the family. We welcome the shunned part home. We welcome it to our internal family.
Ecopsychology and inquiry
Inquiry can easily be used in an ecopsychology context.
Specifically how depends on the person and his or her situation.
For people concerned about our current ecological situation, we can look at fear, stress, a sense of inadequacy etc.
For people worried they are not doing enough, we can look at guilt, shame, fear, and commands to do more (or less!).
For people caught up in us vs them thinking, we can look at identities and perceived boundaries creating this sense of division and separation.
For people who want to experience a deeper connection with nature, we can look at identities with a charge that creates a sense of separation.
There is no end to possibilities. It would be fun to do a workshop on this one day. It could perhaps be combined with Practices to Reconnect developed by Joanna Macy.
Reduced charge and intimacy
A fellow inquiry facilitator said she had done inquiry to see how her mind created its experience of her dog. It led to a reduced charge on the different images and words she has about her dog. I asked if her relationship to the dog changed, and after some consideration, she said yes, it's more intimate.
When we explore anything that seems real and solid in this way, there is often a greater sense of intimacy. And we can explore any of our ideas such as me and you, dogs and human, and whatever else creates a sense of solidity and separation.
Wanting to feel better is healthy, although look at the compulsion
Wanting to feel better is natural and healthy. It's built into us through the generations, and it's a form of self-care and kindness to ourselves and those around us.
Compulsively wanting to feel better is a bit different. That's a way to avoid something. It's a way to avoid our current experience. To avoid feeling certain uncomfortable feelings and looking at the scary thoughts connected to them.
When we compulsively seek healing and awakening in order to avoid our current experience, it adds another layer of suffering. Compulsively seeking to escape is inherently uncomfortable.
So we can welcome this compulsion and explore it with gentle curiosity. We can meet it with kindness and see how our mind creates this compulsion to avoid our current experience. And that allows the compulsion and the charge in it to relax.
What's left is still a natural wish for healing and feeling better. And we know that a component of that is to welcome and rest with our current experience as it is. And that includes welcoming and resting with any wish for our current experience to be different.
Meant to create a shift, not to last
When we have an opening, an experience of overwhelming love or bliss, a very clear recognition of all as Spirit, a deep sense of peace, or something similar, it's not meant to last. Experiences come to pass, not to last.
What they do instead is inviting or creating a shift. A facet of reality may have been revealed clearly in the experience, so the shift can be to notice this facet here and now and through shifting experiences and states. It can also be a shift in how our human self is organized, aligned, and functions in the world.
If we expect the experience to last, we disappoint ourselves. But if we see it as an invitation for noticing or realignment, then the experience can be very valuable and it's value may last far longer than the experience itself.

Bellator has officially announced a fight between Zach
Makovsky and Ed West to crown
its first bantamweight champion at
Bellator 32 on Oct. 14 in Kansas City, Mo.
Makovsky is riding a five-fight winning streak heading into the
contest, including victories over Nick
Mamalis and Bryan
Goldsby in the first two rounds of Bellator's bantamweight
tournament. The Philadelphia Fight Factory product has also
competed in Japanese promotion Deep and the extinct EliteXC. "Fun
Size" started his career hot, winning six of his first seven
"I'm not as concerned with Ed as I am with the [five-round] length
of this fight," said Makovsky. "With that said, Ed is going to be a
huge challenge, and probably the most well rounded fighter I have
faced. I'm excited to see what I can do."
Ed "Wild" West has won seven straight fights. He defeated Bryan
Goldsby and Jose Vega to
advance to the bantamweight final. Fighting out of Tuscon, Ariz.,
West is an IFL veteran and holds a loss to former IFL lightweight
champion Chris
"I've definitely had to train differently for not only Zach, [but
also] the fight itself," West said regarding the potential five
round fight. "As the fight moves on it will become harder and
harder to lock up a submission, and our endurance needs to be taken
to the next level. It's going to be a war."
Wood is already looking toward the winner's circle.
"Winning the Championship would be more important than anything I
have done in the MMA world," said West. "To win this tournament,
you have to win three incredibly tough fights in six weeks. If you
can pull that off, it speaks volumes, and it would take my game to
the next level."
Founded in 2008, Bellator is in its third season of events, in
which fighters compete in eight-man tournaments over a the period
of several weeks to decide champions. The promotion airs fights on
Fox Sports Net and puts on bouts ranging from bantamweight to

MLS Commissioner Puts New York Times in the Penalty
It didn't take long for Major League Soccer (MLS) to formally respond to an article in the July 17 issue of The New York Times Magazine, posted online Tuesday. Written by Jay Caspian Kang, "The Dark Side of American Soccer Culture" distills time spent by the author at Seattle Sounders home games and his thoughts about local fan group the Emerald City Supporters (E.C.S.).
A large chunk of Kang's piece is devoted to examples of past and present U.K. hooliganism. That history is connected to the Sounders in both photographic form (a shot from 2013 depicts E.C.S. members burning a scarf emblazoned with the insignia of opposing team the Portland Timbers) and passages like this:
About a half-hour before kickoff, E.C.S. arrived to the beating of drums. They marched a few hundred deep up the alleyway, holding banners and scarves above their heads. Some wore bandannas over their faces; some held up flares of green smoke; the vast majority were white. In throaty unison, they sang: "Take 'em all, Take 'em all, put 'em up against a wall and shoot 'em! Short and tall, watch 'em fall. Come on boys, take 'em all!" Each phrase was sung with a disorienting British lilt.
MLS commissioner Don Garber happens to be in Seattle this week for a technology summit. During a scheduled press event, he spoke to reporters Tuesday about the article. From a report by SoundersFC.com:
"Like unfortunately things can be with the media, it was poorly reported, factually incorrect and irresponsible, with a lack of any research whatsoever," Garber said. "Frankly, something like this should never see the light of day…"
"This was not some blog. This was The New York Times. They know better," Garber said. "What empowers me is to see the guy getting scorched in social media, because this is just not representative of good journalism."
Kang was separately criticized Tuesday via Facebook by TNR executive editor Ryan Kearney, prompting some lively back-and-forth on Twitter. While Garber mentioned at the press conference that no MLS officials or players were interviewed, that reflects more the type of piece Kang wrote than anything else.
In the article comments, Seattle user Allora writes, in part: 'This piece is truly shameful. Poorly written, extremely biased and the "author" has done zero research… "They" in the "Line 'em Up" chant clearly – CLEARLY – refers to the other team, oh my god, that I even have to explain this to you is insulting… You think we chant with a British accent? Are you drunk? No, we don't chant with a British accent. You're either willfully ignorant or you need your hearing checked.'
Ultimately, there is no "Dark Side" revealed. And when Kang ends his piece with these thoughts, it betrays once again a focus on matters far from the Pacific Northwest:
There is nothing wrong about borrowing what you love, but it should be called what it is – a dream of an ultimately monochromatic gathering in which thousands of white men can brawl (but safely and without guns!) in the streets and drunkenly sing Phil Collins melodies in pubs, lending a hooligan snarl to a white, suburban culture.
Statement: Our ship is big enough for everyone. All are welcome aboard. The NYT prefers to yacht alone.
See you tomorrow night #ebfg

RD Recap: Politico Names New Editor; Mediaite Is Adding a Sports Vertical
Politico announces that Carrie Budoff Brown will take over as editor following the November presidential election. She had been managing editor of the publication's European newsroom, a job she took after serving as White House correspondent between 2009 and 2014. "There have been moments in Politico's history when we really benefited from an outside perspective," publisher and editor in chief John Harris said of the decision. "In this instance, I've thought we've never had more talent residing in our newsroom right now, and I thought it was a wonderful thing to be able to find someone within our newsroom." Current editor Susan Glasser will become chief foreign affairs columnist and director of editorial innovation, a position she'll hold from Jerusalem, where she's moving because her husband, Peter Baker, is The New York Times' new bureau chief in the city…

Automobile Design Graphics
Marketing one of the major purchases of their lives to Americans was an exacting process that involved not only traditional advertising but also a crucial item that extolled the virtues of the cars: the brochure. Frequently overlooked in design and automotive histories, this piece of ephemera is a surprisingly lucid mirror image of American tastes, consumerism, and buying habits since the dawn of the automobile. TASCHEN's Automobile Design Graphics 1900–1973 presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of this mostly forgotten breed of collateral advertising.
Pulitzer Winner Shares an Unvarnished View of Journalism
We've heard these cautionary words before. But that doesn't make them any less worth repeating.
At this year's Mosaic Summer Journalism Workshop, a two-week event held at San Jose State University, one of the visiting speakers was Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times columnist Héctor Tobar. Here's what he told one of the 20 participating school students in a separate one-on-one interview:
"You can't go into [journalism] expecting to make a lot of money," Tobar said. "It's something that you do for the love of it, and sometimes those are the best things in life. If you stick with it, you'll have rewards in the long run by becoming a more cultured, informed person."
"What journalism does is it puts you into the world. That's worth not getting paid very much. It's a sacrifice, but it's a worthy one."
The caveat, perhaps, is that the kind of journalism environment Tobar is referring to here is today more difficult than ever before to find. A Master's degree in journalism is almost requisite. Tobar is the son of Guatemalan immigrants; his father used to deliver the L.A. Times.
The Mosaic event ran June 12-24. Intriguingly, Tobar visited June 16, the same day that he also participated in a special Pulitzer Centennial event that tried to answer the question: 'What is the future of journalism in the very state that's given the world the information revolution of apps and social media?'
P.S. It looks like the author of the cited item, Skylar De Paul, has gotten an early jump start on their LinkedIn template. That's a smart move in today's world, as well. We look forward to seeing how it gets filled out.

Photographer Frames Giancarlo Stanton's Record-Breaking Night
Nelvin Cepeda has been with the San Diego Union-Tribune for several decades. His challenge Monday, July 11 at Petco Park was to convey the awe-inspiring power-hitting show put on by Miami Marlin Giancarlo Stanton.
Over the course of three elimination rounds, Stanton hit an astounding 61 homers, pulverizing the previous MLB Home Run Derby record and taking home the trophy. As the caption for Cepeda's photo above notes, he also hit the night's eight longest blasts, several of which rang in at just under 500 feet.
This is a wonderful photo. The souvenir ball is about to (we assume) land in one of those seven outstretched gloves. All around, there are wonderful spectator reactions to what's going on. Thanks to Stanton, tonight's game has a very tough act to follow.

Martha Stewart Wants Millennials to Stop Being Lazy, Grow Tomatoes
In an interview with Luxury Listings, Martha Stewart said young people today are lazy and just need to try harder.
"I think every business is trying to target millennials," said Stewart. "But who are millennials? Now we are finding out that they are living with their parents. They don't have the initiative to go out and find a little apartment and grow a tomato plant on the terrace."
"I understand the plight of younger people," continued Stewart, who definitely does not. "The economic circumstances out there are very grim. But you have to work for it. You have to strive for it. You have to go after it."
Okay young people, did you jot all that down? If you find a little apartment, grow a tomato plant and "strive for it," you should be good.
Twitter to Stream 4 Bloomberg Shows

"With the completion of this divestiture, Thomson Reuters will be even more focused on operating at the intersection of global commerce and regulation," said Reuters CEO Jim Smith, in a statement.
Success Magazine Highlights the Gig Economy
There's a lot of interesting anecdotal info in Success magazine's August cover story "Introducing the YouEconomy," part of an issue that hits newsstands today.
We're all surrounded by evidence of a U.S. economy increasingly powered by freelancers and independent contractors. Here's how that scenario developed for one such person, Tameka Collins:
When Collins lost her job at a large public relations firm, she at first began taking on YouEconomy work to bridge the gap until she could land another position in PR, her college major. But through a combination of driving for Lyft during surge hours, tutoring the children of people in her church network in English and taking on short-term contract work in PR, she is now making almost 150 percent of what she made with her salaried position, and even has time to serve as a volunteer librarian at her daughter's school three days a week and take an active role in the Parent Teacher Association.
"I really only thought of this as short term," Collins says. "I thought, I got this degree in PR, I paid for college; I better use it. But part of my education was learning how to manage a schedule of things I have to get done and to take care of myself. And I know I'm doing that now. On my time, too."
The magazine commissioned an online poll from Harris, conducted in May. There are also sidebars from West Coast entreprenuer Gary Vaynerchuk and author Daniel Pink, alongside tons of practical, categorized advice for those seeking to follow the example of Collins and others.

NYU Alum Makes Vatican Press Office History
Father Federico Lombardi is retiring from the Vatican press office, after ten years. That left the Basilica door open for a new person to take the reins and today, at a press conference, Pope Francis formally welcomed Lombardi's successor.
He is Greg Burke, a Columbia University Class of 1983 alum and veteran journalist. Another reporter is also stepping in to take Burke's place. From today's report by Sean Smith of Catholic News Service:
Burke, a native of St. Louis and the current vice-director, succeeds the Italian Jesuit, while Spanish journalist Paloma Garcia Ovejero will step in to Burke's current role, making her the first female to hold that position.
Burke was Fox News's Rome correspondent before being hired by the Vatican in 2012 as special communications adviser in the Secretariat before he was named by Pope Francis as the vice-director of the press office last December. Burke spent 24 of his past 28 years based in Rome as a journalist – with the National Catholic Register, Time magazine and the Fox News network.
Ovejero, who earned her Master's degree in management strategies and communications from NYU, comes to the Vatican from Spanish radio broadcaster Cadena COPE. For the local academic record, Burke when at Columbia majored in comparative literature with a specialization in journalism.
At the press conference, Ovejero framed her status as the first female vice-director of the Holy See Press Office with humility and class. She told CNS the Church's true female pioneers are "the ones who found the empty tomb and proclaimed the Resurrection to the apostles."
P.S. One more reason to love this trailblazing Vatican staffer: the profile photo for her Twitter account is a still photo from the beloved journalism movie His Girl Friday.

Fluorescence microscopy of viable mast cells stained with different concentrations of acridine orange

Freshly harvested rat peritoneal mast cells were stained with different concentrations of acridine orange, a metachromatic fluorochrome known to form complexes with chromatin and mucopolysaccharides. Fluorescence metachromasia was observed in cytoplasmic granules in cell populations with intracellular dye contents as low as 5×10−16 mole per cell, one-half decade lower than required to produce metachromatic staining of the nucleus. Cytoplasmic granules did not stain uniformly throughout the cell; some granules exhibited red fluorescence and others green. As the amount of acridine orange uptake per cell was increased, cytoplasmic fluorescence became uniformly red and nuclear fluorescence gradually changed from green to yellow.

The main attraction here is Johnny Depp, because he is one actor who can be counted on never to do anything boring and whose flair for eccentricity and his devotion to odd roles is now being taken as a sign of genius. Depp plays Mort Rainey, a writer who is out in the woods in a cabin, starring at a poorly written opening paragraph that is not getting any better. It soon becomes clear that his writer's block is the result of the fact he is in divorcing proceedings with his wife, Amy (Maria Bello); the opening scene of the film shows us the heart of that trauma. Struggling to deal with these twin demons Rainey is confronted by the sudden appearance of John Shooter (John Turturro), a forbidding looking figure who accuses the writer of plagiarizing a story and demands he put things to rights.
Mort is conflicted about his marriage and has no idea what to do with the blank sheet of paper in his typewriter. He wants to be definite about having written the story "Secret Window," but apparently in his deep dark past he plagiarized a story once and given the state he was in when he wrote the story, there just might be something about Shooter's claim.Read more ›
Johnny Depp's acting is, of course, superb which really brings the rating of the movie up. I actually enjoyed the comedic moments in the movie quite a bit more than the 'horrific' parts. I liked the plot, and the ending, but I found that I predicted the ending slightly earlier in the film than I usually do. I would probably recommend waiting and renting this film. It's much cheaper than spending what seems like a fortune nowadays to see it in theaters. Not seeing it on the big screen isn't a huge downfall either, as there isn't a lot of action.
The acting in this movie was very good as well as visualization. The person that plays shooter does a very good job. The is very predictable but that should detour you from getting this movie it is still good
This was one of King's better movies, he has had so many great movies, but this ranks up there with the top 5.
This movie is awesome. Johnny Depp gives a brilliant performance as author Mort Rainey. If you read the book then you know the story and hopefully you also know that movies won't ever be completely the same as the book. So don't be mad at the movie just get used to it.
Although the outcome may be apparent, it doesn't really hit you until the director David Koepp wants it to. Depp's performance is great, including his habit of cracking his jaws whenever things get a little nervous. Maria Bello and Timoth Hutton as his estranged wife and her lover perform adequately, but they are really more plot tools than characters. Charles Dutton, likewise, isn't given a whole lot to do, but his presence is commanding. Veteran character actor Len Cariou is also good in his role as the local sheriff.
SECRET WINDOW is a quietly suspenseful movie; it's not really a "scary" movie, but more of an intense portrayal of a man's descent into madness. Depp was perfect for the role.

Major: International Relations I provided medical transportation to and from appointments, aided caseworkers in managing their caseload, and further developed financial literacy orientation material for incoming refugees. I was also a "cultural mentor" for a specific refugee family, which entailed helping them with daily tasks, answering any questions, helping them feel more comfortable, and simply talking (with a lot of laughing and miming of course because learning English does take some time!)
Major: Sports Leadership I was responsible for helping with setting up the various golf outings that we had at the course. Once the outing or tournament was completed, I assisted with scoring the events. As league coordinator, I helped with scheduling leagues and collecting league payments from all the golfers that made up the individual leagues. As Director of Junior Golf, I was able to communicate with parents and participants about league schedules and rules. I was able to help and organize both the junior leagues and the adult leagues so that they were able to play every week throughout the summer.
Major: International Relations Throughout the semester, I researched various topics � the biggest research project I had involved researching elections hardware around the state and around the country. I also worked extensively on a video project for the Clerk's office which was well received by other County employees.

Millennial Media: Non-connected device impressions up 6%
While tablets aren't exactly taking over the mobile space, their usage is steadily climbing according to new data out from Millennial Media. Their November Media Mix report shows ad impressions for non-connected devices - including tablets and e-readers - are up 6% YoY, to make up nearly 20% of sector.
While smartphones continue to lead impressions in the mobile space, tablets are catching up and in some sectors taking over. Data out from Millennial Media finds that smartphones deliver about 3 in every 4 ad impressions and tablets for 1 in every 5. The top tablets were the iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Amazon's Kindle Fire.
Some interesting trends on the Millennial Media platform include:
• Mobile impressions increased 1200% after the iOS 6 release
• 75% of mobile ad impressions were from smartphones, 5% from feature phones
• 20% of impressions results from tablets, e-readers, etc
• 52% of impressions came from Android devices, 15 of the top 20 devices were Android-based
Meanwhile, tablet users are beginning to set themselves apart. While consumers are shopping across devices, tablet consumers are most likely to consume 'traditional' content - like newspaper or magazine articles - on their devices. Nearly 40% of tablet consumers read this content each month.
As for the apps capturing consumers' interest, games continue to top the list but productivity apps are gaining ground, an indicator that tablets are seen as more than toys to most users. Productivity and Tools entered the Top 10 (#5) for the first time in Q3 2012; meanwhile apps delivering content - sports and communications, specifically - also ranked in the top 10. Weather and news, however dropped lower on the list (#8 and #9).
