Tap into the Mind's Power
Consider the quote, "Humans use only 10% of their brain." This often leads to the question, where on earth is the other 90% and how do we use it?
I personally do not have that answer, however, I do see how some of it can be used an manipulated with regard to budo.
Catching a ball. To many of you, catching a ball now seems like child's play, however, this was not always the case. While you were first learning your brain had to first get use to objects in flight. This may not have happened the first time you saw a ball in the air, but soon, your brain got used to a object's ascent and eventual descent on the earth's surface. The next, more difficult, step is to coordinate the body and hand to be in a position to be there when the ball lands. Anyone that has ever been hit with a ball knows that this is not always an easy task.
Experienced ball catchers know that the way to catch a ball is not to stop, calculate the trajectory of the ball, decide which muscle groups to fire to activate the body, then activate those muscles to put the body in the correct postion to be there when the ball lands. This would be far too time consuming to be effective. Instead, simply look at the ball and allow the brain to do the work for you. Your brain, a supercomputer, has no difficulty doing these calculations whatsoever.
Like I said however, your brain cannot automatically do this from birth. It first has to learn the rules that an object in flight, as well as the rules that govern our body's movement.
Theoretically, if the brain had complete knowledge of the "rules" of budo (ie. principles, techniques, body mechanics), one could simply "turn off" their active mind and allow the power of the brain to do its work. That is why it is impossible for Aikidoka to replicate their moves exactly, often they don't even know what they did! Interestingly enough, Ueshiba himself said, "Learn and forget." This means to "learn" the rules, but don't try to remember them when the situation arises. You must do the prep work, but when attacked, allow your brain to do the work.
This is also no easy task, it takes mental disipline. But, one can see that some of the power of the mind can be utilized in Aikido. If you spend time training your body, why not spend at least some time training your mind?
Is this the complete answer to what ki is? No. But the mind can do such amazing things, it would seem no wonder that a word like ki might be used to explain the unexplainable.

(Sorry, sorry, sorry -- just couldn't resist.)
IMHO, mental stimulation, mental exercise, mental discipline, and meditation can help tap into more of the mind's potential. Instead of identifying with it, the mind becomes only a tool to be sharpened.
Until again,
To capitalize on Lynn's post. Half our problems as humans is that we allow ourselves to be defined by our own limited experiences and sense of self.
Medidation from my experiences allows us to see that we are part of a bigger picture and experience....which broadens our perspective allowing us to us more of our brain so to speak.
So we are discussing about being smarter produces a better Aikidoka, I agree.
PD: to Alfonso Thanks for the Link!
This is the process of thinking without thinking.
Consider how much memory you use in your computer for any given funtion? 10 percent? Maybe as much as 20 percent? What happens when you get a program that takes up all the memory? Either Freeze, or Crash ... right?
It is said that every moment of your life is stored in your brain, but not all of it is accessable, or properly stored. What about the body functions that keep your body alive, how memory do you need for that?
This 10 percent thing is just a sales come on to maximum memory in use any one time.
As far a the usefullness in training, try to remember the best of what works, let the brain adjust with as little prodding, hints, and pain as possible.
I sure don't want the fear factor of pain from a broken nose, or other inductions from pain from missed catches affecting my ablility to catch a ball, divert a punch, or keep pain to minimum.
Let your practice be remembered as the best of what you do, so your natural talent to improve become cognizant with pleasure, not pain.
I sure there is room for storing some good training in the old noggin before it gets filled up, and you have to erase something to make room for more.
Now that is a feature I would like to improve, the erase feature. Any ideas?
Until again,
That's a nice idea. Where did it come from?
Actually, usless information is still there, but in a foggy way it is always just out of reach. Kind of like ... I see the blurred image, I kind of know what it is, but no details are readable or accessable.
Half an erasure?
Oh well ... focus on what is important for the recent to near past. Eventually important stuff is ingrained, and unimportant fades away.
BTW, the patterns come from Neurolinguistic Programming. I also do sport psychology.
Until again,
does it even have a brain?
Facinating. In one instant Alfonso completely debunked the "using only 10% of the brain" myth with a slew of facts, but this thread just keeps going on and on like nothing ever happened. What accounts for that? (Maybe Einstein really was right.) :rolleyes:
I believe that the "10% of our brains" expression is simply just that, an expression. I only used it to demonstrate that the brain can do incredible things, ie. instaneously calculate the trajectory of a ball in flight.
Try to do it on paper. Chances are, the ball will hit you before your pen hits the pad.
You can utilize this brain power not only to catch balls, but eventually it can be used in budo. Then you will see some progress to your art!
Hey , I agree with most of what's been discussed by Lynn, Bruce, Chad and others that support mind development. I think the subject is fascinating and doens't need the adornment of urban myths.
I was made aware of this particular one while researching memetics and there's a whole 'nother game going on there.
In any case to me at least, the dojo is a place where I've had the chance to experience and observe the process of forming neural connections. One of the things I enjoy about Aikido lessons outside the martial aspect is this, the mind-body link.
[quote="Alfonso Adriasola (AlfonsoI was made aware of this particular one while researching memetics and there's a whole 'nother game going on there.[/QUOTE]Ah yes, the contagious "thought virus". There are more then a few of them floating around the Dojo. My compliments for being that aware.
Until again,
and this is also why I wish there were more intervention by senior aikidoka.
Lynn, for me at least you nailed it in the self-doubt thread, about allowing others' ideas to take center.

Dear Scott: I have my hair colored professionally regularly throughout the year without a problem of fading but in the summer the color always fades.
I go the beach, but I'm not lying in the sun on the beach.
I don't do anything different than I do the rest of the year so why does the color fade?
I even cover my hair to protect it from the sun when I'm at the beach.
Answer: Most styling products are equipped with sunscreens to help protect the hair for everyday wear, but when you are outside all day, some hair color products will fade.
Fading is the undesirable effect that will cause hair color to become brassy, reflect strange undertones, or simply look unrealistic.
The sun has a natural lighting effect that happens to the hair, colored or not.
Living skin tissue regenerates the melanin destroyed after exposure to UV damage. The melanin is replaced by darker and darker melanin.
Since the hair shaft is considered to be dead, the melanin that is damaged by exposure to UV rays of the sun will not regenerate as it does with the skin. That's why the skin gets darker and the hair gets lighter.
Covering your head to protect your hair color has more benefits than meet the eye.
Even though it would seem that your hair is protecting your scalp from the sun, it doesn't.
Repeated heat exposure to the scalp from sun or other heat sources can damage the hair follicles.
First the follicles begin to shrink, and then the cells that make up the root ball responsible for new hair growth eventually die.
You can also get melanoma on your scalp. It's hard to spot up there, too.
Melanoma is the most common form of cancer in young adults and can often be the most deadly of cancers.
The sun has gotten hotter over the last 60 years, and the UV rays are getting stronger.
Beware of the sun on the golf course, tennis court and any other prolonged activity out side, as well as the beach. Simply walking to and from your car, shopping or a brief dog walk can cause burning of tissues.
When choosing something to wear over your hair for protection, straw hats are probably not the best choice.
The hair gets caught in the weave of the hat even when there is a lining. Just putting it on and taking it off can chew at your hair without you knowing its happening.
A fun alternative is a brightly colored babushka paired with oversized sunglasses for the timeless look of celebrity discretion.
Just a tip here for those of you who use barrettes for pulling back long hair for summer.
Examine the barrettes before you use them. They can cut your hair like a pair of scissors.
Run your finger over the edges of the barrette to make sure they aren't sharp. The cheap ones are razor-sharp and can cut your finger.
You can imagine what it's doing to your hair. Cover the metal with Scotch tape to prevent sawing off sections of hair.
Dear Scott: I have blonde hair, and it turns green when I go swimming at the pool in the neighborhood.
Should I use a clarifying shampoo to get it out?
Answer: The shampoos designed to do this are very harsh. They open the cuticle layer in an effort to remove the mineral deposits that are embedded underneath.
The end result is permanent swelling of the hair shaft making it even more susceptible to chemical absorption.
The best thing to do is to wet your hair before going into the water with the garden hose or the bathroom sink.
You can also bring a bottle of water from home to douse your hair before getting in the pool. This way, your hair will already be wet and won't absorb as much of the chemicals in the water.
In time, the green cast may wash out on its own. If the buildup is bad, you may need to have a glaze put on your hair to counteract the odd color.
The glaze will also help to protect the hair for the next trip to the pool. This product will last about 8 weeks.
My favorite remedy for ultimate hair protection is to wear one of those bathing caps with the multicolored rubber flowers on them.
Here's a tip: Keep suntan oil designed to tan you skin out of your hair. It will amplify the damage to your hair and scalp as well as your skin.
Put some sun block on everything instead. Have fun, look younger, and live longer.

Throughout the conversation, I repeatedly asked if here was a catch or some hidden cost. The representative that I spoke with repeatedly said that there was only one fee of $3.95. I wanted to make sure that there wouldn't be any cost that would come out at a later date and he went on to tell me NO.
He then told me to make sure that I cancel my calling card when I received this in the mail. Finally, after the representative assured me that there wouldn't be any extra cost besides the $3.95, I gave in and issued out my bank account number. After I agreed to the $3.95, he then asked me to agree to the terms on an automated recording.
Towards the end of February, I called to check my account balance and I was in the negative over $400 dollars. I went my Bank and they said that Call One had withdrawn $149.00 from my account. I have been calling this company daily to ask about my funds and every time I call, they continuously tell me to wait 7-10 business days. In the middle of April, I was supposed to receive my check from this company and they said that it had to go under investigation on why I hadn't received it yet. They make up a different excuse every time I call.
In April, I called to check my account balance and I noticed that I had a fee taken out for $19.95. The Bank said that a company called Premiere Movie Pass had taken this out of my account. I called Call One and they said Premiere was a different program but they were all under one program. These are the fees that were taken out of my account by Call One:
♦$3.95-February 4, 2005
♦$3.95-February 4, 2005
♦$119.90-February 22, 2005
♦$149.90-February 22, 2005
♦$19.95-March 16, 2005
♦$19.95-April 13, 2005.
This company has been giving me the run-around on this issue for months. Not only would I like my monies to be reimbursed, but I would also like for them to reimburse my Bank for the overdraft charges they forgave on dealing with me on this issue. I have requested to speak with the corporate office on numerous occasions but they refuse to connect me or give me a contact number-leaving me no other choice but to seek other avenues for assistance.
This is a big-time scam. Here it at the end of June and I havent received my refund nor any benefits from this company. They lack business ethics and professionalism. I am very upset from this whole ordeal and think that justice should be served.

Hi all.
I have just updated my wordpress to 2.0.7 from 2.0.4 (I think!) and have now lost the ability to manage any of my posts, pages, themes etc. I can get into the dashboard and I can change the theme I wish to use but beyond that I can't get anything to work!
If I click on any edit this links on my site it takes me to the admin panel, shows me the headers and links (to dashboard, write, manage etc) but then nothing below that. If I click on write I get the same thing, no editor or anything.
Has anyone else found this and sorted it!? I did a bit of a search but haven't found it yet - please do just point me in the right direction if you I've missed something.
Thanks in advance!

"Great overall frame "
The Good:
Gusets top and bottom
The Bad:
Gets dented easy. Brake mount can be hard to find. If you run brakes
Ive had this frame a while now and I'm the second to have it so I would say it holds up pretty well. Just that I've noticed that it gets dented easily and no I don't throw my bike.

The UK's tallest mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland. Recently, it became one metre taller, standing now at 1 345m rather than 1 344m above sea level. Of course, the mountain did not actually grow. Rather, the team of Ordnance Survey experts who re-measured it for the first time since 1949 were able to do so more accurately because of improvements in technology, and specifically through the use of GPS.
Countries should modernise their consumer protection laws to address new risks posed by online commerce, including "free" apps and peer-to-peer Internet transactions, according to new OECD guidelines for member countries and emerging economies.
Mobile broadband penetration in the OECD area has risen to 90.3%, meaning more than nine high-speed wireless Internet subscriptions for every 10 inhabitants, according to data for December 2015 released by the OECD today. The penetration rate was 81.6% in December 2014.
Strategically managing crises is an essential responsibility of governments. Often critical decisions need to be made swiftly under difficult and complex conditions, as crises' impacts may spread beyond national borders and can trigger significant economic, social and environmental knock-on effects. Governments have a significant role to play in strengthening the resilience of their populations, communities and critical infrastructure networks. This report highlights the changing landscape of crises that governments are confronted with today. It discusses new approaches to deal with both traditional and new kinds of crises, and invites reflection on how best governments can adapt to change. Topics covered include capacity for early warning and "sense-making", crisis communication and the role of social media, as well as strategic crisis management exercises. Finally, the review proposes practical policy guidance for strategic crisis management.
Today, the generation and use of huge volumes of data are redefining our "intelligence" capacity and our social and economic landscapes, spurring new industries, processes and products, and creating significant competitive advantages. In this sense, data-driven innovation (DDI) has become a key pillar of 21st-century growth, with the potential to significantly enhance productivity, resource efficiency, economic competitiveness, and social well-being.
Greater access to and use of data create a wide array of impacts and policy challenges, ranging from privacy and consumer protection to open access issues and measurement concerns, across public and private health, legal and science domains. This report aims to improve the evidence base on the role of DDI for promoting growth and well-being, and provide policy guidance on how to maximise the benefits of DDI and mitigate the associated economic and societal risks.
Digital security risk should be treated as an economic rather than a technical issue, and should be part of an organisation's overall risk management and decision-making, according to a new OECD Recommendation to member countries.
On 29-30 September 2015, the E-Leaders meeting will discuss how the Public Sector can make better use of public sector intelligence for policymaking and implementation, by better exploiting digital technologies and data, by embedding data use throughout the policy cycle, and by putting in place governance arrangements to ensure responsible and coherent use of data that benefits citizens and strengthens public trust?
Schools have yet to take advantage of the potential of technology in the classroom to tackle the digital divide and give every student the skills they need in today's connected world, according to the first OECD PISA assessment of digital skills.
Countries are making increased efforts to develop their digital economies in a way that will maximise social and economic benefits, but now need to address the risk of disruption in areas like privacy and jobs, according to a new OECD report.
Better access to and use of public sector information (PSI), including open government data, are inter-related parts of the shift towards knowledge-based economies, and drivers of innovation, growth and employment. PSI can be used directly to generate products and services, and it contributes in a wide variety of ways to improving efficiency and productivity across the economy (including within the public sector).

When they came out and gave us a bid for their services, we were really impressed. They claimed it would take 3 to 4 hours tops for the Princess Packers to box all of our stuff, and their bid was within our budget.
We are military and we move quite often and the last move, it took packers 3 days to pack all of our household goods. So we were impressed that they thought they could pack us in 3 to 4 HOURS. We mentioned this and they told us that their company is different and they provide more packers to get the job done quicker than others. We asked them if they are typically spot on when it comes to guessing how long it will take (because we are on a budget) and they assured us that they had a program that calculates it pretty accurately. In reality, it took over double the amount of time they quoted us a bid for. Costing us to be over budget by almost 75%. Then the Meat Head Movers came the next day to load all of the boxes and furniture into PODS. They also took much longer than what we were quoted, so of course this bill was also about double. I was annoyed that it cost more than double to pack and move my possessions into PODS, but at this point I still had faith I was working with a professional moving company.
During the packing process, one of the movers broke my queen sized head board. He had me fill out a damage report and told me we would be reimbursed for the loss. I immediately sent in the claim. A month later I get a letter in the mail saying that they will give me $42 for the head board that they broke and that is their final offer. It is not possible to replace a
headboard for $42. Being military this is obviously not our first move. EVERY other moving company, if they broke something, sends out an appraiser to look at the damaged item and then upon the appraisal sends you a check to replace the item at that value. They damaged it, so they replace it. The letter really confused me. How could a company break something and then not replace it?
While we could always get a person on the phone before we paid for their service, after we paid them was a different story. I called Meat Head Movers about the letter I received saying that they would not replace the headboard, but I couldnt get the appropriate person on the phone. I left a message and it took them over a week to call me back. When I asked them how I
was supposed to replace a headboard with $42, they said that they only pay $0.60 on the pound. So if my fine china which cost at least $2,000 is shattered they will only pay me $60 if it weighs 100 pounds. We haven t looked in the PODS yet, because our new place isnt ready. So who knows what else is broken and wont be replaced. The whole reason we chose to use a moving company, is that if something was broken it would be covered. That is what they advertise. I am so disappointed and appalled at this company. I hope someone will read this review and heed caution. They are misleading and they have terrible customer service. I wouldnt recommend this company to anyone.
The above review was taken down because Meat Head Movers decided to pay us for the head board that they broke as long, as we took the review down. I agreed to this only if they would agree to work with us if we found more items to be damaged when we finally arrived at our destination. I should have known not to trust this company on their word of honor.
Upon unpacking we had two of the same problems: More damage to our property and consistently poor customer service.
When we were unpacking into our new home, we found that there was no care in packing our household items. Almost every item of furniture that we owned was damaged. This damage was not caused by normal shifting in the POD during transportation, but rather, from being protected by plastic wrap or our own linens. Instead of the furniture being professionally blanket wrapped or bubble wrapped, most just had shrink/plastic wrap on it and plastic wrap is not designed to be protective packaging. The Princess Packers and the Meat Head Movers both advised that we set aside whatever linens, blankets, and comforters we had to be used to help cushion the furniture. This is the first time this has been suggested to us. I guess they recommended this to save us money, because their bids had been grossly under estimated. We did set aside
all of our linens for their use, instead of having them packed at their discretion. Most of these linens, if used at all, ended up with holes in them. Furthermore, the furniture was not blocked or braced to keep the shifting and movement of
the furniture and household goods within the POD to a minimum.
So when the PODs were opened at destination, it was obvious that they had not been loaded to withstand the normal rigors of
Whether the loads were to be moved cross- town or in our case, cross-country, they were not loaded properly.
Here is a list of what was damaged
Master Bedroom Headboard
Master Bedroom Bedrails
Both Master Bedroom Nightstands
Master Bedroom Armoire
Master Bedroom Dresser
2nd Bedroom Dresser
Towel Rack
Decorative Poinsettias
Room Dividing Decorative Screen
Paper Shredder
Basset Furniture Wet Bar
Entry Hall Table
Budweiser Beer Stand
Brand Newstill had the receipt China Cabinet damaged beyond repair
Brand New Dryer dented and scratched
Picture Frame shattered and frame broken in half
Ashley Furniture Durablend leather couch, fabric pierced and frame damaged
Coffee Table
Decorative Chalkboard
These damages have been appraised by an impartial third party at $2,878.69. He said that the brand new china cabinet would cost more to fix than to replace. They did not wrap the glass shelves in anything. They laid them in the bottom of the china cabinet with the brass hardware underneath them. This caused the edges of the shelves to sliver glass everywhere. The weight of the glass shelves on top of the brass mounting hardware and the slivers of glass scratched and gouged the bottom of the china cabinet beyond repair.
We confronted Meat Head Movers about the damage to all of our property as soon as we opened the PODs. We even asked if they would like a third party representative to be present for them during the unloading process. They told us no, that it was company policy to just want the claim in writing with pictures and receipts if we had them. I took pictures of everything.
Meat Head Movers are clearly not a professional moving company. They even packed a propane tank, with the valve still open and connected to the grill. We also found melted candles, burst liquids, and even rotten vegetables included in our boxes. They packed fresh vegetables knowing that we were moving across the country and would not get to our household goods
for months. They even left some of our fine china still in the china cabinet. Luckily none of the china was damaged or that would have been thousands more in damages.
Meat Head Movers claims that they are not liable due to the rigors of transportation, but this is just not true. If the PODs had been loaded properly this type of damage would not have occurred. It was due to their negligence that almost all of our property was damaged. We had a furniture repair man come out and estimate the damages so that we could provide Meat Head Movers with a full report. We included costs to replace and costs to repair for items that were not damaged beyond repair. It has been over 2 1/2 long months since we first notified Meat Head Movers of the severe damages and neglect we
found inside the PODs. Again their customer service is terrible. Only after mentioning, that this is the 4th or 5th time you have called for a manager in two days will you get any semblance of service.
Instead of a phone call we finally received two letters on the same day. One saying that they had received our claim and were working on it and another saying due to the rigors of travel they were not responsible for the damages to our lamp. We never had a lamp damaged, so why are we hearing about a damaged lamp? When we called to question the two conflicting letters, the operations manager told us to disregard the letter that he signed because it was a mistake. He then deflected the blame to someone on his staff even though he signed both of the letters that we received.
Professional packers would not pack propane tanks, candles, fresh vegetables, or liquids because it is detrimental, if not illegal, to be transported. Yet, Meat Head Movers packed all of these items. In our past moves, as military members, professional movers have always set these items aside for our disposal. Yet when confronted, Meat Head Movers state that they have employee signed statements from their movers that they did a professional job. But how can a professional packer and mover claim that it was a professional job when so many basic rules were broken?
There are companies that pride themselves on fixing what they have legitimately done wrong because it is the right thing to do and then there are companies that hide behind corporate policy to try and get away with anything they can. Meat Head Movers will try to run with your money.
To recap their customer service, after they have your money, is beyond terrible and their movers are not professionally trained.
Buyers Beware: If you trust any good review of Meat Head Movers, we would not be surprised if those reviews were paid for, since they basically tried to pay us to take down our first bad review.

Posted on 02/23/2013 3:27:38 AM PST by Slings and Arrows
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) A new North Carolina driver's license set to be issued to some illegal immigrants has a bright pink stripe and the bold words "NO LAWFUL STATUS," raising concerns about whether the design will brand those who show it.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I am not concerned about the pink stripe on the NC illegal immigrant driver's license. I am concerned that such a thing as an illegal immigrant driver's license even @#$%ing exists.
I'll second that.
Aspiring citizens? These are law breakers! We already have enough of them in this country. They have no respect for our laws and do not deserve anything.
Then don't show it.
They're already trying to equate it with a star of David in nazi germany.
There's a simple way around it. They could go home.
They should paint yellow stripes on the backs of all politicians who think that coddling illegal criminals is good for the country.
After that, they should take them out to the public pillory and let the law abiding citizens throw rotten veggies at them for a period of 10 days.
Pink stripes on illegal's driver licenses? How stupid of an idea is that? Oh, I just thought of a good reason for it. It could be used by the border patrol as a criminal ID so that they could be easily identified as they spoke to the agent in Spanish because they couldn't speak English. In that manner they could be immediately sent back to Mexico without any delay due to the courts and save the people a lot of money and time in doing so.
Oh wait....I just woke up from this dream............
Make them wear sandwich boards that say "pays no taxes, takes from taxpayers, is here illegally."
> Theyre already trying to equate it with a star of
David in nazi germany.
it's not like any of these guys are stateless refugees.
Back in November Obama's defacto dreamers protested here in Michigan and one of their complaints was that not having a driver's license made them feel singled out when illegally voting.
"brand" or identify them ?
Yeah, but pink IS maricon.
I'm concerned. Start here, making classes or ranks of citizens. Does anyone think it ends here?
They'll get pink stripe. What color will yours be?
Pink citizen, is that 3/5 of a red one? Is a blue one worth 1.5?
Equality under law is vanishing as it is. This is where they start to formalize inequality.
Perhaps North Carolina should also consider putting a color stripe on the driver's licences of 3 time D.U.I. offenders.
That is my concern too. Why are they handing these people drivers licenses instead of putting handcuffs on them and deporting them back across the border?
Get used to it. They have more right to be here than you. Why? Because they're "indigenous". [/s]
IMHO, we should tattoo a bright, bold, pink "I" on their forehead.
Imagine this in pink :)
Excuse me? In the U.S. legally?
Pink ? Illegals are GAY.
1. Stamp them with "Return to Sender" instead of a pink stripe.
2. I don't live in North Carolina, by the legal definition of "live in." Am I allowed to get a North Carolina driver's license?
And why not?
Inequality was formalized forty years ago by the

If there is no visible differentiation on the face of Illegal Alien licenses then NC drivers licenses will be no good for identification.
Which is the Dims' next step, no doubt.
Illegal entry
Falsified identity
Under reported taxable income
Welfare fraud
What's not to love?
BILLIONS of dollars are wired BACK HOME to Mexico every year. Some of them have to be applying for aid they did not need (since they had the money to pay for their own things but SENT IT AWAY).
And police will cut loose drivers who are suspected of being in the country illegally (for simple DWI infractions) because they don't want to be stuck with paperwork and possible illegal status.

Credit Solutions Rip-Off
AUTHOR: Dorene - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 30, 2009POSTED: Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Late 2007 I was diagnosed with a serious illness with treatment starting in Feb 08. Fearing I would not be able to go through the treatment and pay my bills I checked up on Credit Solutions In Feb 08 I signed up with Credit Solutions based on the endorsement of Rip-off Report.
Credit Solutions told me I would be debt free in 36 months. I believed them until June of 08 when called them to pay off a few bills and discovered that the creditors were not going to work with us that we had lawyers coming after us, taking us to court, filing judgments against us. We are worse off now than we were before we went to them for help. How can people prey on the poor the sick the old like this? I have joined a class action lawsuit. It will never repair our credit and we will probably have to file bankruptcy.
Credit Solutions lied, never mentioned that the credit card companies that Credit Solutions was going to work with over a 36 month period would not work with us, would take us to court and take the money right out of our checking account. As a matter of face Troy told us that Credit Solutions had much more power as a large corporation talking to the creditors as they settle millions while I just owed thousands. He was a good salesman, got me to sign up then I never was able to get in touch with him again. I tried to pay off my bills but less than 9 months after signing up we owed twice what we owed when we signed up with Credit Solutions
My husband and I are destroyed by this company and the Rip Off Report needs to take off the endorsement of Credit Solutions
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Inquiries into Communication
Designated topics in communication and theatre are explored. May be repeated with different topics.
|Distribution Area
|1 course
Fall Semester informationKevin Howley
291B: Tps: Histories of the American Press
American journalism is at a crossroads. Rising public mistrust of the profession, coupled with the advent of digital technologies and, most ominously, government persecution of journalists and their sources, represent a unique challenge to the Fourth Estate. This course places the contemporary crisis of journalism in historical context. Specifically, this course examines the role of journalism in recording as well as shaping US history. As such, the course tells the story of the democratization of American society. In addition to covering the standard history of US news media, the course explores the long but often neglected history of advocacy and activist journalism in US social, political, and cultural life. Furthermore, by calling critical attention to the untold stories of journalism practiced by racial, cultural, and political minorities, this course examines the relationship between "alternative" and "mainstream" journalism.
Meg Kissinger
291C: Tps: Muckrakers, Scandals and Scamps
At its best, journalism comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable. It holds the power to set innocent prisoners free and bring presidents to their knees. But what happens when all that power goes to their heads? The class will explore journalism's greatest triumphs and most cringeworthy failures. We'll review work of the Muckrakers of the late 1800s to the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, Walter Reed, WikiLeaks and the NSA. And we'll examine what happens when reporters "break bad:" Janet Cook, Stephen Glass, Jason Blair, Brian Williams.
Expect weekly quizzes, a mid-term paper and a final paper.
Spring Semester informationSusan Anthony
291A: Tps:Theatre, Culture and Society
Theatre, Culture and Society explores representations of social identity, culture, and ideology in live performance and film with special emphasis on issues of race, gender, class, and sexual identity. The course also explores the role of the audience, historical performance, and strategies for recognizing, reinforcing, or subverting conventional depictions of power and ideology.
Geoff Klinger
291B: Tps:Technophobia: a Study in Technology, Communication, and Culture
The relationship between humans and technology/machines is a common trope embedded in many of our cultural narratives, yet it is a trope that is often "ad hoc" and fragmented. While the march of technology and its increasing encroachment in our everyday lives continues almost unabated, there are several public figures, writers, groups, and communities who have questioned our uncritical acceptance of technology, and have actively critiqued and resisted it trajectory and impact. This class is designed to bring several different variants of this trope and critique, and the related intersections of technology, communication, and culture, together into one course of study. It is important to note that this is not just a course of study that examines the human v. machine dichotomy. Indeed, as we will learn this semester, technology (techne logos) is more than just a simple machine, it is a way of thinking (i.e. the method of logic). Consequently, what is at stake in this struggle is nothing less than a battle to control the human body and mind.
Gigi Jennewein
291C: Tps:Spring Shakespeare Festival
This course trains DePauw students to direct local high school students in the mounting of fully staged 90-minute Shakespeare plays. Students spend the first three weeks in the classroom learning best practice techniques for teaching Shakespeare and working with youth. The remainder of the semester is spent in the schools shaping a production while also delivering the emotional and intellectual benefits that can be acquired by physically and vocally experiencing Shakespeare's language. This course culminates in a day-long festival at DePauw University's Moore Theatre (Green Center) comprised of performances of each participating school's play. DePauw's Shakespeare in the Schools program is inspired by and produced in association with Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA. The course requires a M/W/F 2:20-4:50 commitment due to the in-school rehearsal process. It is repeatable for credit. See instructor for details and SPAC.
Fall Semester informationGeoff Klinger
291A: Tps:Ethical Issues in Medical Communication
This course is designed to provide students with a focused introduction to a growing area of interest in our discipline: health communication. We will examine the intersections of three main areas of study: ethics, communication, and medicine. We will explore both theoretical connections and practical applications to better understand the nature of the interconnections between these three related areas of study. We will focus, especially, on ethical flashpoints in the practice of medicine and investigate how communication helped, or hindered the resolution of the ethical tensions that arose from these situations.
David Worthington
291B: Tps:Communication and Difference Through Game-Play
In this class we will engage in understanding how we communicate ideas and identities through game play. Using two deep-immersion historical games, students will research and embody historical figures who are struggling with some of the "Great Moments" of history. Each game will take about 5 weeks to play, the rest of the time will be spent in historical set-up and debriefing. Students in the past have found this a particularly compelling way to learn about the past and to develop understanding and empathy for a variety of identity issues.
Seth Friedman
291C: Tps:Advertising and Consumer Culture
We like to tell ourselves that we purchase consumer goods and services because they fill a need. At some level, however, we also realize that our purchasing decisions are deeply linked to our identities. The consumption of goods and services plays a crucial role in the U.S. economy, but consumer culture is more than the sum of the things that we own. In fact, it now seems normal to be addressed as a potential consumer in virtually every waking moment of our lives. This course will aim to make us more aware of the ways that advertising operates in the U.S., the connections between advertising and the media industries, as well as how consumer culture impacts our everyday lives. We will address questions such as: What information, ideas, and values are communicated in advertising? What role does advertising play in a variety of media, such as broadcasting, film, print, and web platforms? How are brands created and why do we care about them? What do advertisers know about consumers? Do advertisers use tactics that encourage people to separate themselves into distinct groups or cohere into a diverse community? Is it now possible not to adopt the values of consumer culture? In short, this class will examine the intersections of advertising, consumer culture, and the media, with an eye toward understanding the history, goals, and strategies of the advertising industry.

Tragedy & Courage at Sprague
- Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan)
- Last Updated on June 27, 2012
- Published on October 12, 2006
- Hits: 17105
Yesterday, the Department of Defense announced that last Sunday, Marine Lance Cpl. Derek Jones, 21, and a graduate of Sprague, was killed last Sunday in Iraq.
His brother Chad, a senior at Sprague, and a captain of the team, reacted to a situation that would challenge the most seasoned veteran.
He led the team onto the field at McNary carrying an American flag. And while he normally anchors the defense, he played a little offense as well, scoring 2 TDs in the Olys 49-13 win to take over sole possession of first place in the Central Valley league.
"I know this is what my brother would have wanted." Chad said.
We should all be proud of the courage and determination put forth here. Regardless of anyone's thoughts on the current world situation, no one can bring Derek back. For that matter, neither Chad, or any of the rest of us, can make a change in the situation in Iraq in a day.
But the younger Mr. Jones did do all that he could, and he honored his brother. And reminded everyone again why we love high school football, and the great young men that play it with passion.
Check the links to articles published by the Statesman Journal here and here, and also available on the Sprague football team page for pictures and further information.

I have been using wordpress for a couple years now so i'm "kinda" familiar with it but as I was installing some plugins the installation failed for some reason and know I am not able to access my admin page (http://www.mywebsite.ca/wordpress/wp-admin). It just show a blank page.
So I basically used the "back" button to go back into my administration zone and i can access almost everything except the "installed plugins" section.
I won't let my computer up running every day and night and won't be able to access the admin section by going back into it. I don't know what i may have did wrong.
I guess i failed to say that there is one big red "1" next to my plugins.
How can I find out?

The original scat mat worked well for us 8 years ago. We didn't have a cat for the last several years. Then we inherited one from a relative who could no longer take care of it. Long story short don't buy the cheap knock off of the scat mat to save $10.00. They are exactly that a cheap knock off and do not works as well.

Milwaukee Music Video: See Juiceboxxx's one-take treatment for "Like a Renegade"
I'm not sure if I've met any Milwaukee performer with more energy than Juiceboxxx. The Milwaukee native (he doesn't claim a home base for now, but he was last living in Los Angeles) was in our studios last year to perform a couple of tracks off his awesome debut full-length "I Don't Want to Go Into the Darkness." It was a raucous good time. And it was really loud.
So I'm not surprised in the slightest to see JB running through the streets, ripping off his shirt, and spraying a can of what I can presume is an energy drink, for the new music video for "Darkness" track "Like a Renegade." Nor am I surprised that the whole thing was done in one take. »Read Full Blog Post

The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Drive, which is rooted by the Layton collection, is paying tribute to the man and his gallery with a 125th anniversary exhibition. In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM. Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Lubar Auditorium, guest lecturer Giles Waterfield will discuss "The Role of Private Patrons" in Layton's development of his collection.

I think you were sexually abused by your father and bullied at school - hey thats what starsky your new best friend would say! - or are you both the same?! Now you hide behind a keyboard launching these personal attacks on anyone who actually gets one over someone here. As I say, I feel for you.

Meridian Township is considering some major changes to its police and fire departments.
The township manager has released a report that recommends a third-party review of all emergency services.
The report focuses heavily on privatizing ambulance services to save money.
It also discusses the pros and cons of part0time firefighters versus training police officers to fight fires.
The third-party study would cost the township $60-thousand if approved.

The Survivors of Avebury
By JASON GOODWIN
Published: July 14, 1996
THE megaliths of Avebury, in the rolling Wiltshire downs of southern England, are often compared with the stones of Carnac. This is traditional sheep-grazing country, thousands of acres of bare chalk grassland swept into shallow hills and valleys, supporting into this century a way of life unutterably remote, the life of the shepherd on the hills. It is also old sacred country: a mile or so south of the ring stands Silbury Hill, the biggest manmade mound in Europe; just to the north runs the Ridgeway, a primeval track running northeast to southwest, and at Avebury itself a deep circular ditch encloses such stones as survive from a giant ring, the largest relic of its kind in Europe.
Within the ring lie the remains of two smaller circles. An avenue of stones, some of which are still standing, and others whose positions have been identified by the holes that were dug to receive them, stretches away to a smaller ring about a mile away; some believe there were once two of these avenues, one on each side. To the antiquarian William Stukeley, who recorded the position of the stones in 1724, the site appeared in the shape of a serpent passing through a ring.
Avebury's 68 remaining stones, of more than 400 originally in the complex, are reassuringly massive, the biggest at some 50 tons, the size of an upended bus, half buried nose down in the ground. It took 13 men five days in the 1930's to raise an eight-ton stone into a similar position, working with wooden scaffolding and levers, but steel rope. The Avebury stones were taken from the nearby hills, and it is supposed that the people who began the construction of the monument, sometime around 2500 B.C., did not live themselves to witness its completion -- one indication that we are dealing with a sophisticated primeval organization.
Whatever Avebury means, it draws 350,000 visitors every year. The National Trust, guardian of stately homes and scenic countryside across the country, officiates; and the monument was classed as a World Heritage Site in 1986. Such care and attention has not been lavished on these stones since the time they were erected, thousands of years ago, with the difference that people then agreed about what they were for, whereas modern archeology can only cover its confusion with mockery of its gentle rivals, the astronomers, astrologers, leyhunters and New Age statisticians who insist on joining the debate on the meaning of the ring. The hand of heritage falls lightly on Avebury, whereas Stonehenge, lonely and awful on the plain away to the south, is more like an armed camp these days, where visitors are treated like prisoners, and oppressive bylaws are enforced by squads of policemen at the summer solstice. For Avebury is a village, too. That is its charm, and its tragedy.
THE village street actually cuts into the ring, disposing its good old cottages left and right, for all the world as if the ring did not exist. Despite its modern celebrity, it is neither precious nor vulgarly commercial. The pub on the main road, which is called the Red Lion, has a roughly paved parking lot and a small sign, apparently written with a chalk on slate, humbly promoting itself as the only B & B inside an ancient stone circle. The main road enters the ring from the east, executes a curious dogleg turn in the middle -- a momentary double-take, perhaps? -- and then shoots off north. One moment you are standing in a dusty village street, contemplating the lovely church, which dates to Saxon times, and wondering how much it would cost to buy that sweet little cottage with a for-sale sign across the road; the next, you are tramping the turf between giant megaliths, and peering down into the grassy ditch excavated, eons ago, by people using antlers for picks.
Purists might resent the village intruding on their sense of mystery. I like it. However far off the megaliths take you, dreaming of telluric forces, or forgotten spacemen, or the Pythagorean theorem, or just of men in skins grunting under their load of chalk rubble, you are not very far from an excellent lunch. In Avebury, which has about 500 people, you can browse for theories at an excellent bookshop, the Henge Shop. You can send a postcard from a post office, one that would surely have died, like many village post offices in the country, without the fillip of the 350,000 visitors who, sending their cards and eating their lunch and dipping into other peoples' books, are not all thrust upon the stones at once, so that on the busiest of days you can feel very nearly alone, as you thread your own way between the vast questions the stones pose, and the subdued clatter of everyday life.
And the village and the ring, inextricably entwined, bear out the tradition of the English countryside, a landscape worked and tilled and lived in and picked over for so many thousands of years that it carries the imprint of successive generations, layer upon layer, like fluvial silt, or chocolate cake. It is a landscape seldom wild, and never accidental. At its back, older than any, purposeful and enduring, are these standing stories, the bumps, barrows, tors, cairns, caves, humps, hollows and tumuli that mark the countryside even now, some revealing, to the evident relief of archeologists, the bones of ancient warriors, many -- like Silbury Hill -- mysteriously empty. So many parish churches prove to have been built over ancient sacred sites -- on mounds, or over holy wells, perhaps -- and remnants of the primeval forest survive in the hedgerows to which early farmers cut them back; and the English countryside possesses an atmosphere of revelation, in which the past can easily be read.

IDFC to Raise $1 Billion for Equity Funds
By Prasenjit Bhattacharya and Shefali Anand
New Delhi – Infrastructure Development Finance Co. plans to raise $1 billion from investors for its equity investment funds targeting infrastructure and real-estate projects, despite an economic slowdown and policy muddle in India.
IDFC Vice Chairman and Managing Director Rajiv B. Lall said mature foreign investors, who are a bit hesitant about India lately, would continue to invest here as they realize that in the long term they can't ignore the country.
"We are delivering products that offer more returns than fixed-income instruments at less than the volatility of public stock markets," Mr. Lall said in an interview late Tuesday. "So, we are finding lots of takers."
Mr. Lall said the company's equity funds, recently clubbed under the Alterative Asset Management business, currently manage about $1.3 billion in assets.
For IDFC's core business, lending to infrastructure companies, Lall said he expects to borrow nearly 350 billion rupees ($6.25 billion) in the financial year that began April 1, about the same as last year. Most of this money would be raised by selling bonds, of which just 7% are likely to be in foreign currency.
This has helped insulate IDFC somewhat from the pains of a weakening Indian rupee. The local currency has fallen 24% against the U.S. dollar over the past one year, to trade at 56 to a dollar on Wednesday, making it more expensive for Indian companies to borrow abroad.
Mr. Lall said that he's finding plenty of takers for IDFC's rupee-denominated bonds which carry a yield of 9.5% for a three-year duration. But he added that "if the rupee remains unstable, our cost of funds could go up."
"Everyone expected the rupee to fall, given that our inflation was running ahead of our trading partners, but the speed with which it fell took investors off guard," he said.
Mr. Lall said he couldn't project a fair value of the rupee but said the currency could probably fall a bit more before it stabilizes.
"Unless macro-economic issues such as inflation and the size of the current account deficit aren't reduced, it won't be easy to manage the value of the rupee," he said.
On the infrastructure sector, Lall said the number of companies seeking to fund new projects has fallen. He attributed this to the high cost of capital, combined with uncertainty in policies, such as on getting coal supplies for power plants.
Mr. Lall said it seemed unlikely that the government's stated target of getting $1 trillion investment in infrastructure over the next five years could be met. "If we do $600 billion, it will be good."

Trace of Itokawa's Four Billion Years of History Found on Particles
A research team led by Aerospace Project Research Associate Toru Matsumoto of JAXA found that traces of more than four billion years of history up until now of the Asteroid "Itokawa" were recoded on the surface of particles that were recovered from Itokawa by the Asteroid Explorer "Hayabusa" to bring back to the Earth, and their surface patterns and marks were analyzed by the research team. The research team observed the faint structure of the particle surface in details through X-ray microtomo...

About Asteroid Explorer "HAYABUSA" (MUSES-C)
HAYABUSA's mission: to bring back samples from an asteroid and investigate the mysteries of the birth of the solar system.
HAYABUSA (MUSES-C) has been developed to investigate asteroids. HAYABUSA explored an asteroid named "Itokawa," after the late Dr. Hideo Itokawa, the father of Japan's space development program. HAYABUSA is traveling through space using an ion engine. The purpose of the HAYABUSA mission is sample return from the Itokawa by traveling through space using an ion engine and arriving at the asteroid autonomously to acquire a material sample.
Characteristics of Asteroid Explorer "HAYABUSA" (MUSES-C)
HAYABUSA, which was launched on May 9, 2003,achieved its goal of arriving at the Itokawa asteroid and performing scientific observations. As a result, its mission was featured in the scientific magazine "Science" as a first Japanese mission to illustrate various new findings about the asteroid including its gravity and surface conditions. The HAYABUSA returned to Earth on June 13, 2010, dropped its onboard capsule in Australia, and completed its operation.
HAYABUSA's mission will play an important role in future space-probe journeys.
HAYABUSA employs a new technology - the ion engine. This engine first ionizes the propellant gas, Xenon, then electrically accelerates and emits the ions, to propel itself forward. As it is a highly efficient engine, it is expected to be an important technological tool for our future exploration of the Moon and the planets. HAYABUSA will demonstrate this technology.
