Tired of Feeling Numb and Disconnected?
Ready to Wake Up and Start Living Fully?
Life can be painful. And oftentimes, this pain piles up on top of our soul – dimming our light and disconnecting us from our hopes and dreams. This disconnection from ourselves and the universe happens so gradually that we often don't even realize it. And then we wake up one day and wonder how our life turned out the way it has. We feel lost and sad and aren't quite sure how to find our way back.
Does this sound familiar?
If so, I get it. I've been there.
Thankfully, I had a friend wake me up and show me that there was another way.
He offered me a helping hand and a guiding light out of this darkness.
And that's what I hope this course will be for you: a helping hand, a set of tools, and a community to support you when you are feeling numb and unsure of which way to go. My hope is that it will guide you back to that wise part of yourself – the part that is always connected to everything: your soul.
You can begin to live fully again.
You can embrace your truth and let your light shine.
It's your time to come back to life!
If you're ready, please take my hand and read on!
♥ live fully and love fully?
♥ take responsibility for your life?
♥ push past your fears and reach your dreams?
♥ forgive, let go, and move forward?
♥ see the world with childlike wonder?
♥ reconnect with your soul and let that wise part of you take the lead?
♥ believe in miracles again?
♥ open up to this amazing universe around you?
♥ be completely authentic and vulnerable (in a good way)?
♥ join a course that comes from the heart and soul?
♥ come back to life?
If your Soul is jumping up and down saying YES, YES, YES… I am Ready!
Then read on…
In this course, we will spend six weeks together journeying back to our soul. We will start right where we are and begin to peel away the layers of gunk that have kept us from shining our light as brightly as we would like to. As we remove each layer, we will begin to feel lighter and freer.
Your journey starts exactly where you are – right now in this moment. Throughout this journey, each week you will receive a bundle of love in your inbox. Each email contains helpful guidance from me and other dear hearts who know what it's like to be in this space of feeling disconnected from our soul and want to help. Each week will build upon the last, guiding you back to yourself and helping you come back to life.
Our light shines so brightly within us. That all-knowing part of us never fades – it just gets covered up by pain and fear. Throughout this course, you'll be uncovering this pain and allowing your light to shine. You'll be reconnecting with your soul – your deepest, truest essence. And you'll be saying yes to life again.
What does the course include?
♥ Over 250 Pages of Love – Including Weekly Lessons + Soulful Activities. This is where you get to show up for yourself. This is where you get to reconnect with your soul and discover who you are deep down at your wisest, most loving core. Each week comes with its own set of soulful writing prompts and introspective exercises to help you tap into your own light so that you can begin living more fully.
♥ Over 100 Pages of Bonus Workbooks / Worksheets!
♥ Over 40 Heartfelt Videos – More than 10 Hours of Guidance! Each week includes at least six videos – two from me sharing that week's message, at least one from an inspirational soul sharing their own coming back to life story, and at least one designed to teach, inspire, and offer concrete tools that you can apply to your own life.
♥ Six Guided Meditations. Each week contains a guided meditation that is specific to that week's message. They are grounding and calming, and I find them to be so helpful.
♥ Beautiful Offerings from 34 friends Who are Also on This Journey of Self Discovery. Each week is filled with heartfelt messages from dear friends who are on similar journeys and are brave enough to share their experiences with you. Whether they share their stories and inspirational messages through video, audio, artwork, or writing – they all serve the same purpose: to help lift you up and see that you are not alone. We have all experienced the darkness, and we can all open up to the light.
♥ My Guidance/Story. Throughout my life, I have found that I like to have things modeled for me – it helps me retain what I'm learning if I can see how someone else implements it in their own life. With that in mind, each week includes my own experiences and what I have learned along the way. I also share my own coming back to life story – 20 pages where I share my spiritual awakening with you.
♥ Soul Art. I have designed printable posters to go with each week's message. Perfect for hanging up around your sacred space and filling your soul with love each time you see it!
Throughout this journey, we will begin to reconnect with our soul – the wise essence inside of us that always has the answers.
We will get to know this part of ourselves intimately – possibly for the first time in our lives. We will begin to trust this part of ourselves and remember that it is this part that always connects us to the entire universe. And we will begin to feel truly alive!
What are the weekly topics?
♥ Week 1: Starting Where You Are
Honoring where we are opens the door to where we are going. Each journey begins with one single step forward – one step towards faith.
In Week 1, we spend some time exploring where we are starting from. We pat ourselves on the back for being brave enough to begin such a powerful, life-changing journey. And we clear the way for lasting transformation to take place.
♥ Week 2: Getting Real
Being truly honest with yourself opens the door to a beautiful new life – an authentic life where your soul gets to lead the way.
In Week 2, we recognize the importance of pure authenticity when reconnecting with our soul. We stand strong in who we have become, and we honor our past – while at the same time, we recognize that our present moment can be anything we want it to be. We can be anyone we want to be. And that's so powerful.
♥ Week 3: Letting Go
On this journey, feel free to let go of your pain and suffering and heartache and insecurity and fear. You won't be needing them where you're going.
In Week 3, we spend a lot of time healing, forgiving, and letting go. We leave behind anything that no longer serves us – anything that will hinder us from soaring toward our dreams and reconnecting with our soul.
♥ Week 4: Opening Up
Look around. There is magic everywhere – in the sky and on the earth. Open up to it. Breathe it in. Be one with the miracles that have always been and will always be there.
In Week 4, we open up to the spiritual, magical world that has always been around us. We look for signs. We tap into our own intuition. We practice being still. We embrace the feeling of being completely open to it all.
♥ Week 5: At the Heart of it All
At your core, you are pure love. We all are.
In Week 5, we drop into our core and recognize that we are all love. We honor the love within ourselves, and we embrace the love in others. We rejoice that we are no longer alone. We are completely surrounded by love.
♥ Week 6: Leaping and Dreaming
And then we realized: our dreams have always been one leap away. And all we had to do was surrender, trust, and jump.
In Week 6, we push past our comfort zones and fully embrace faith. We leap with abandon toward our dreams. We listen to our soul's desire, and rather than question what it is asking us to do, we just do it!
Week 6 also includes a summary and ways to incorporate what you've learned into your daily lives moving forward. (This isn't the end though; it's really just the beginning…)
My intention behind creating this course is for you to:
♥ feel more in touch with your inner wisdom, where before, perhaps you had almost given up on ever knowing this deepest, wisest part of yourself.
♥ let go of whatever chains are keeping you from flying.
♥ embrace this new world that seems so much brighter and filled with joy – and to jump into something that you've never experienced before.
♥ leap into faith – knowing that the universe will always catch you.
♥ connect with others who are on a similar journey – to really meet them at the soul level and honor that sacred space within each of you.
I can't wait to get to know you better and meet you at the soul level. My soul is jumping up and down just at the thought of it!
It's such a special treat that these 34 amazing souls and friends all share their hearts with you inside this course! They all know what it's like to be feeling disconnected, and they each found a way back to themselves. And I love that they share their stories with you here!
♥ I was privileged to participate in the Coming Back to Life course offered by Jodi Chapman during the fall of 2012. The course is overflowing with insight, talent and love. These golden nuggets were then offered in the most honest and heart-opening way to the group on a weekly basis, allowing us to explore the material at our own pace. I loved the videos from those who have worked so hard to hone their life skills. They were non-threatening and full of spirit and love. The insights I gleaned from this course are invaluable. The friendships I made will remain precious to me. Jodi has built a community where people can gather and share without fear of rejection or judgment. That community remains open to me as I continue to learn from the materials and find my way back to life. I just want to thank Jodi and all the other beautiful souls who have made this course an amazing success. Thank you a thousand times! – Leah Griffith
♥ The Coming Back to Life Ecourse was an amazing journey that I would recommend for anyone at any stage of personal growth. I found the course packed with information, videos, exercises, readings, and encouragement, all of which could be experienced at our own pace. Jodi has so many contributors who share their heart, and each brought valuable insight. Opening my email at the beginning of each week was as delightful as unwrapping a gift. But the most significant advantage I found was the support available – almost 24/7. The Facebook community Jodi set up was fantastic – a place where we could connect and share our successes, our struggles and realize that we are not alone. Jodi led us gently and skillfully through discussions and online chats that allowed us to apply what we were learning, and celebrate our growth. Did I mention that I loved it all? Thank you!! – Lori T.
♥ I feel much more self-aware and plugged in to my emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical self. I feel more grounded and ready than ever to face challenges. I've also increased my self-care exponentially since starting this course. I've noticed a positive shift in my self-esteem by being gentle and kind to myself. Thank you Jodi and thank you Facebook community for the love and support. – Kelly G.
♥ The Coming Back to Life E-Course is a catalyst for personal transformation. Jodi poured her heart and soul into creating this offering. She lovingly encourages each participant through a 6-week journey of awareness, reflection and profound healing. If you are ready to revive your precious life, and open fully to yourself in the present moment, register for this supportive journey. – Shann Vander Leek
♥ I don't always stick with this sort of thing – often feeling that I am not learning anything new, but not this time. I have learned so much, and this has been such an authentic time of discovery and sharing that I feel more alive than I have in a long, long time. Jodi, you have an amazing gift for sharing what is real and what is important. Not only has the information been helpful, but your modeling of it really made it come ALIVE! – Nancy Whelehan Leport
♥ The Coming Back to Life Ecourse, developed by Jodi Chapman, is beautiful and life-changing. I was amazed at the heart, soul and wisdom contained in every aspect of the course – the videos, personal stories, workbooks, meditations, art, and private Facebook group. I think I was most affected by how deeply and authentically Jodi and the other course contributors "showed up" for the group – it was instrumental in enabling us (the course participants) to safely go deep to uncover blocks that have kept us from living life fully in all its brilliance. If you've been sleepwalking through your days and are ready – truly ready – to wake up and embrace life, the Coming Back to Life Ecourse will set you firmly on the path. And you'll be surrounded by so much love every step of the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jodi! – With love, Christine Callahan-Oke
♥ I have really enjoyed the wonderful videos, meditations & pdfs full of information! I am so grateful that you, Jodi, have created this course. So many people are going to be changed forever through this experience. So many connections have been made. Wow, what a journey! How exciting! – Julie Smith
♥ The Coming Back To Life e-course is a six-week soulful journey in reconnecting to your authentic self and connecting with others in a compassionate, open and loving community. Get ready to think with your heart!" – Lyndelle Palmer Clarke
♥ Taking Jodi's Coming Back to Life course is like being led by the hand of an old and trusted friend through any blocks and barriers to joy so you can find the happiness that is in your life to embrace. I highly recommend it. – Tanya Levy, MSW, RSW, CCC
♥ Oh, Jodi Chapman, you are so amazing and I thank you so much for your spirit, for who you are, for your caring so much, and for your heart. This course has really helped me be more aware of myself and see how I connect to myself – or how I don't at times, and how I show that or not, in the world. And it has been hard at times to face some of this, of course. But it has helped me get more plugged in and realize I need to take care of ME while I care for every other person in the world! I realize that this really is it, my one Life…and I don't want to sleep walk or be on auto pilot! Thank you seems like not enough, but thank you! – Linda Mallory-Gravis
♥ This course has profoundly changed my life and I am so grateful to everyone in it. I was able to show up as I am, from the heart, and be very real and vulnerable. I don´t really do that anywhere else in my life, so this has been a wonderful blessing. Thank you all and thank you so much Jodi. – Anna
Is this course based on any certain religion?
At the risk of outing myself as a major cheeseball, I would say that this course's religion is love. I believe that at the heart of every religion, love is the common denominator. This course does have a spiritual basis though. I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. But you don't have to believe that to take this course. Whatever your beliefs are, I think we all can agree that it would be wonderful to spend our time here on Earth as joyfully and consciously as we are able to. That's the common ground that we all can meet on.
I'm going through a very painful experience, can this course help me?
Definitely! First, I want to say how sorry I am that you're in pain right now. I want to be a loving support for you as you begin to heal and move toward living fully. The content in the course (worksheets, videos, and audios) is all designed to help you open up to your life – your soul – and the universe.
If you are currently in therapy, this course is a wonderful addition to go over with your counselor. I am not a licensed therapist, so I prefer for you to see me as a friend who is here to listen and support you.
I'm super busy, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up each week. Should I still sign up?
Definitely! This course is here for you. You'll receive weekly lessons for six weeks in a row. If you are too busy to look through them, please don't worry! You can download them to your computer and go through them when you have more time.
Is this a self-study course?
Yes! I originally sold it as a guided ecourse, and now it's sold as a self-study course, which means that you get to go through it at your own pace! Please disregard the part of the video where I mention the Facebook group since this is no longer included. What I love about this course, though, is that there are so many videos inside with so many people sharing their hearts, that it feels like we're all going through it together – no matter when you sign up!
Please email any additional questions that you might have to me at: email@example.com.
Coming back to life is a process.
Sometimes we take one step towards living fully and two steps back. And other times we take two steps towards it and only one step back.
What I know for sure is that it's about living consciously – staying awake and staying open. We don't have to sleepwalk through life. Plugging into life is the best feeling in the world.
Connecting to your soul and allowing that wise part of you to guide is a beautiful way to live.
In this course, I am offering helpful tools and a supportive community to do exactly that. I would love for you to join us! I can't wait to meet you at the heart level, see you reconnect with your soul, begin to feel that spark inside, and start coming back to life. What a wonderful gift to give to yourself!
You can sign up immediately and start taking the course within the hour!
I can't wait to take this journey together!

Replacing O'Rourke: The Candidates
The Columbus Dispatch - May 09, 2013 03:16 PM
This will be the most interesting starting lineup of the season for the Crew since the season opener more than two months ago.
After today's training, head coach Robert Warzycha said the MRI on Danny O'Rourke's ankle did not show anything serious but that he is likely out for Saturday's game against Colorado. With Agustin Viana already out with a hamstring injury, the Crew now finds itself replacing its two opening-day choices to man the defensive midfielder roles in Warzycha's lineup.
Tony Tchani has started the last two games alongside O'Rourke, so he seems a lock to remain in the lineup. Who will he pair with? Here are the four candidates in alphabetical order:
Kevan George – Now in his second year, George has nine appearances including four starts for the Crew to his credit. He played eight minutes in back-to-back games ending with the Crew's abysmal 1-0 road loss to Chicago and not been on the bench since. Of all the candidates, George has the most MLS experience, but he was the last mentioned by Warzycha when discussing the depth chart.
Matias Sanchez – After signing as the team's fourth-highest paid player during the offseason, Sanchez has been unable to find any sort of consistent role for Warzycha. He has seen action in just one of the last four games and has 37 minutes spread across four appearances this season. Earlier in the season, Warzycha declined to analyze Sanchez's performance because he said the midfielder had not been on the field long enough to make an impact. Today, Warzycha said Sanchez is "dying to play."
Wil Trapp – The local product and homegrown player signing is yet to break the game-day 18 as he has split time with the United States U-20 team during his rookie season. He has reportedly spent some time with the first team in training this week, but it might be a stretch to ask him to immediately jump into the starting lineup.
Konrad Warzycha – Another offseason signing, the younger Warzycha has seen action in the last two games as a late-game substitution. He appears to be climbing the depth chart and has performed well in reserve league games this season. "Danny reads the game well," Konrad Warzycha said today. " He's experienced and knows what to see in there. For me it's kind of new. I'v e been trying to learn from him. We each have our different qualities, but it's the same mind-set for me to go in and try to do what he's doing."
Not surprisingly, the head coach did not come out and name a starter today. However, he might have tipped his cap when I asked if Konrad Warzycha had a leg up because he had been subbed into the last two games ahead of the four aforementioned players.
"You have to think about the guy that is going to start the game and the pressure and everything else," Robert Warzycha said. "(Konrad) was coming off the bench a little bit. Especially with young players, that's what you have to do: give them a little bit of rope and they can learn instead of throwing them into deep water."
It sounds to me like Konrad Warzycha will be making his first MLS start Saturday.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Everything Else' started by Dana Jean, May 2, 2014.
Is there an underground for Reborns?
While I believe that much human behavior, if not most, is learned via external influences, including parental ones, some behaviors are relatively or completely unavoidable. A child born with abnormalities of the brain cannot be expected to behave as with an unaffected brain. Also, imho, every human being is born with certain behavioral tendencies, or temperaments. While these temperaments have positive and negative attributes, to a point general behavior cannot be successfully arranged or dictated; though, can be predicted.
So, a parent shouldn't try to afford or accept total blame for a child's behavior; instead should learn which aspects a parent must teach vs those which are a simply a part of the child.
I'm further along in the story (or is it farther?) and there is an underground who is supporting a certain Reborn. And apparently, nature and nurture have no place in this society. If you are carrying one of these criminal babies, it goes. No pleading your case.
Run, baby, run!
And I guess there are other Reborns who have slipped the system and were born and have grown up. I've got about 30 pages to go, we'll see what happens in the story.
I kinda wished I hadn't been reading this thread now.. it sounds like a fantastic book--very thought-provoking reading.
It is interesting. It isn't just cloning genes, but reincarnation and they know from their criminal database when some horrible criminal is making a comeback. I'm very curious how he's going to end this.
Thank you B, for your thoughtful response. As a parent, I would (and do) feel responsible for teaching him basic (appropriate..regular...routine..positive...) interaction to assist him in his life within general society. My kid does have a brain imbalance, and needs meds daily to assist him.
Using the context of the story discussed, if my kid turned out to be a mass killer, I would feel responsible, like I failed, even if it was shown it was purely due to genetics. I failed to teach him the appropriate way to interact, societies norms, and failed to teach him how to control himself or distract himself. I would feel responsible. Yes, I know he is a completely separate being. Able to assert 'free will', but as his mom, I would blame myself.
This sounds interesting, if a bit like Minority Report. I hope it goes into wide publication
Finished the book. It was a good story that could have been a great story. I wish it would have been longer as some things happened a little too quickly there towards the end. I was suspending disbelief all the way through until this one thing, I had a hard time accepting it.
I don't want to spoil it so can't say too much for those who might be interested in it. There were a handful of typos or wording problems that threw me a bit (and I'm not a nitpicker by any means. I know this happens. When it happens too much though, I question the publisher's professionalism. Not the author's.) There was one point when the wrong character's name was used. Overall, it was an interesting plot that really had me intrigued.
You're right to do so. Some small publishers don't want to shell out for actual editors, and most eschew copy editors because of the fees/salaries a good copyeditor can demand (and rightly so--it's a very specialized skill). Too bad that spoiled some of your joy in what sounds like an interesting premise.
It reminds me of Minority Report, too.
You have caused too much interest in the story not to say more lol. Could you maybe make a spoiler and just say who the child was a reincarnation of and why the underground was protecting him? Was it an idealistic society that needed to be stirred up?
Okay, in case anyone is interested, these are huge, huge spoilers. I tell major things here.
Spoiler: Who It Was
Khan. It didn't say Genghis or Kublai but the followers he had and the way they attacked reminded me of CELL. Also, there is a girl who is sniffed out as a Reborn. She is older and apparently the underground has figured out some way to mask her DNA "smell" so she is not sniffed out if she ventures outside, which isn't often. When the "shepherds" come across her, the two main guys we follow, the lead guy reads his machine and becomes scared and incredulous. Then he drops and breaks the machine. We never find out who she is, or who they think she is. At this point, things move too fast and thoughts and ideas of people change too quickly to be believable. Certain people are put in charge who a minute ago were out to kill these reborns, (even though there was reluctance on his part) but you don't put someone in charge of an underground movement after one incident. This is where the story really needed more time to develop.
Now, this is the whole story:
Spoiler: what's it all about, alfie
Apparently, the whole premise is a lie. The government is unable to detect this DNA. Reincarnation is as unknown as it is now. But, it's the government's way of controlling the people and the population. Because, as always, anyone in a position of power or prestige is allowed to keep their so-called "reborn" baby. It's just the poor joe's who have to abort.
Thank you so much for the summary
Just to be fair here, I heard from the publisher and the copy of the book I got was an uncorrected proof. I didn't realize that. I thought it was the completed final book, and all of the mistakes have been taken care of. I am so glad to know this and it makes me feel better about the publishing house and relieved for the authors.
OK. If we buy the start. Reincarnation and so on, we also have to consider circumstances. in the case of Hitler i dont think he would have gotten far if he hadn't been i country thats just lost a major war, felt deeply that they were injustly treated and so on. So if a Hitler was born, in another kind of society, i dont think he would come to power and therefore not be as dangerous. Hitler was voted in in 1933. I dont think that would happen in a society without those qualifications that Germany had then. When he tried his coup d'etat in the 20-ties he failed and was put to jail and that is probably were he would end up if he reincarnated. Other horrible persons, like serial killers, are different. I guess their urge to do what they did could come forward in another society too.
That said i would run from everyone that tried to decide for me that i wasnt to have a child. Or wasn't to get the abortion i wanted for that matter. I'm not a woman but that is my feelings about it. I'll always say it is the mothers decision. You can advice her, point out different ways of handling it but it is her decision. So i would run if any kind of authority was after me to alter my decision.
I agree with you that if the circumstances aren't the same, the baby won't be the same. It's an interesting premise.
I don't think Osama bin Laden was born innocent. Hitler wasn't either. If they were, what the hell could have gone SO wrong that they turned into maniacally homicidal 10-ton crazy people?
I also don't understand why President Obama authorized the release of 5 prisoners, one of whom just said he's going to "make more war" on our country.
I'm not a Democrat. I was utterly surprised when in the FAQ it said "Stephen is a Democrat." I thought it was impossible.
But as for the topic, the release of the 5 people is pertinent because they've now made it clear that they really WERE guilty of it.
Someone in our family died on September 11 and he just lets the people accused of doing it go? Whatever.

Category: Questions about Income
What is a "capital asset"?
Almost everything you own and use for personal or investment purposes is a capital asset. Examples are your home, household furnishings, and stocks or bonds held in your personal account. When you sell a capital asset, the difference between the amount you sell it for and your basis, (which is usually what you paid for it), is a capital gain or a capital loss. If you received the asset as a gift or inheritance, refer to Publication 551 for information about your basis. You have a capital gain if you sell the asset for more than your basis. You have a capital loss if you sell the asset for less than your basis. Losses from the sale of personal–use property, such as your home or car, are not deductible.
Capital gains and losses are classified as long–term or short–term. If you hold the asset for more than one year before you dispose of it, your capital gain or loss is long-term. If you hold it one year or less, your capital gain or loss is short-term. To determine how long you held the asset, count from the date after the day you acquired the asset up to and including the day you disposed of the asset.
Capital gains and deductible capital losses are reported on Form 1040, Schedule D (PDF). If you have a net capital gain, that gain may be taxed at a lower tax rate than your ordinary income tax rates. The term "net capital gain" means the amount by which your net long–term capital gain for the year is more than the sum of your net short–term capital loss and any long-term capital loss carried over from the previous year. Generally, net capital gain is taxed at rates no higher than 20%. However, for the years 2008 through 2015, some or all net capital gain may be taxed at 0%.
There are 3 exceptions:
1. The taxable part of a gain from selling Section 1202 qualified small business stock is taxed at a maximum 28% rate.
2. Net capital gain from selling collectibles (such as coins or art) is taxed at a maximum 28% rate.
3. The part of any net capital gain from selling Section 1250 real property that is required to be recaptured in excess of straight-line depreciation is taxed at a maximum 25% rate.
If you have a taxable capital gain, you may be required to make estimated tax payments. Refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax, for additional information.
If your capital losses exceed your capital gains, the amount of the excess loss that can be claimed is limited to $3,000, or $1,500 if you are married filing separately. If your net capital loss is more than this limit, you can carry the loss forward to later years. Use the Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet to figure the amount carried forward.
Additional information on capital gains and losses is available in Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses, and Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets. If you sell your main home, refer to Publication 523, Selling Your Home.

For Guillen, the hot seat is a permanent chair. All kinds of possibilities here, from Ozzie's Twitter account to the MLB Network reality show that will star Guillen, G.M. Ken Williams and owner Jerry Reinsdorf (more drama equals better ratings, right?). This is Ozzie's seventh season. He is signed through 2012. But he is always one sound bite away from trouble. Williams gave him the kind of team he wanted — faster, more athletic, better equipped to play little ball. If the Sox flop, Guillen easily could be held responsible. Odds of a midseason change: 10-to-1.

"Murakami is like a magician who explains what he's doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves." — The New York Times Book Review
The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.
A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —"Q is for 'question mark.' A world that bears a question." Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled.
As Aomame's and Tengo's narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector.
A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's— 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami's most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Amazon Best Books of the Month, October 2011: The year is 1984, but not for long. Aomame, on her way to meet a client--the gravid implications of which only come clear later--sits in a taxi, stuck in traffic. On a lark, she takes the driver's advice, bolts from the cab, walks onto the elevated Tokyo expressway, descends an emergency ladder to the street below, and enters a strange new world.
In parallel, a math teacher and aspiring novelist named Tengo gets an interesting offer. His editor has come upon an entry for a young writer's literary prize, a story that, despite its obvious stylistic drawbacks, strikes a deeply moving chord with those who've read it. Its author is a mysterious 17-year-old, and the editor proposes that Tengo quietly rewrite the story for the final round of the competition.
So begins Haruki Murakami's magnus opus, an epic of staggering proportions. As the tale progresses, it folds in a deliciously intriguing cast of characters: a physically repulsive private investigator, a wealthy dowager with a morally ambiguous mission, her impeccably resourceful bodyguard, the leader of a somewhat obscure and possibly violent religious organization, a band of otherworldly "Little People," a door-to-door fee collector seemingly immune to the limits of space and time, and the beautiful Fuka-Eri: dyslexic, unfathomable, and scarred.
Aomame names her new world "1Q84" in honor of its mystery: "Q is for 'question mark.' A world that bears a question.'" Weaving through it, central motifs--the moon, Janá?ek's Sinfonietta, George Orwell's 1984--acquire powerful resonance, and Aomame and Tengo's paths take on a conjoined life of their own, dancing with a protracted elegance that requires nearly 1,000 pages to reach its crowning denouement.
1Q84 was a runaway best seller in its native Japan, but it's more instructive to frame the book's importance in other ways. For one, it's hard not to compare it to James Joyce's Ulysses. Both enormous novels mark their respective author's most ambitious undertaking by far, occupy an artificially discrete unit of time ( Ulysses, one day; 1Q84, one year), and can be read as having a narrative structure that evinces an almost quantum-mechanical relationship to reality, which is not to say that either author intended this.
More to the point, the English translation of 1Q84--easily the grandest work of world literature since Roberto Bolaño's 2666--represents a monstrous literary event. Now would somebody please award Murakami his Nobel Prize? -- Jason Kirk
Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo. His work has been translated into more than forty languages, and the most recent of his many international honors is the Jerusalem Prize, whose previous recipients include J. M. Coetzee, Milan Kundera, and V. S. Naipaul.

Book Description Knopf, 2011. Book Condition: New. Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: "A book that . . . makes you marvel, reading it, at all the strange folds a single human brain can hold . . . A grand, third-person, all encompassing meganovel. It is a book full of anger and violence and disaster and weird sex and strange new realities, a book that seems to want to hold all of Japan inside of it . . . Murakami has established himself as the unofficial laureate of Japan-arguably its chief imaginative ambassador, in any medium, to the world: the primary source, for many millions of readers, of the texture and shape of his native country . . . I was surprised to discover, after so many surprising books, that he managed to surprise me again." -Sam Anderson, The New York Times Magazine "Profound . . . A multilayered narrative of loyalty and loss . . . A fully articulated vision of a not-quite-nightmare world . . . A big sprawling novel [that] achieves what is perhaps the primary function of literature: to reimagine, to reframe, the world . . . At the center of [ 1Q84 's] reality . . . is the question of love, of how we find it and how we hold it, and the small fragile connections that sustain us, even (or especially) despite the odds . . . This is a major development in Murakami's writing . . . A vision, and an act of the imagination." -David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times "Murakami is clearly one of the most popular and admired novelists in the world today, a brilliant practitioner of serious, yet irresistibly engaging, literary fantasy . . . Once you start reading 1Q84 , you won't want to do much else until you've finished it . . . Murakami possesses many gifts, but chief among them is an almost preternatural gift for suspenseful storytelling . . . Despite its great length, [his] novel is tightly plotted, without fat, and he knows how to make dialogue, even philosophical dialogue, exciting . . . Murakami's novels have been translated into a score of languages, but it would be hard to imagine that any of them could be better than the English versions by Jay Rubin, partnered here with Philip Gabriel . . . There's no question about the sheer enjoyability of this gigantic novel, both as an eerie thriller and as a moving love story . . . I read the book in three days and have been thinking about it ever since." -Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "Fascinating . . . A remarkable book in which outwardly simple sentences and situations snowball into a profound meditation on our own very real dystopian trappings . . . One of those rare novels that clearly depict who we are now and also offer tantalizing clues as to where literature may be headed . . . I'd be curious to know how Murakami's yeoman translators Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel divided up the work . . . because there are no noticeable bumps in the pristine and deceptively simple prose . . . More than any author since Kafka, Murakami appreciates the genuine strangeness of our real world, and he's not afraid to incorporate elements of surrealism or magical realism as tools to help us see ourselves for who we really are. 1Q84 is a tremendous accomplishment. It does every last blessed thing a masterpiece is supposed to-and a few things we never even knew to expect." -Andrew Ervin, The San Francisco Chronicle " 1Q84 is one of those books that disappear in your hands, pulling you into its mysteries with such speed and skill that you don't even notice as the hours tick by and the mountain of pages quietly shrinks . . . I finished 1Q84 one fall evening, and when I set it down, baffled and in awe, I couldn't help looking out the window to see if just the usual moon hung there or if a second orb had somehow joined it. It turned out that this magical novel did not actually alter reality. Even so, its enigmatic glow makes the world seem a little strange long after you turn the last page.

Conversations with the Director: Tom Chiller, MD, MPHTM
January 10, 2013
Photo by María-Belén Moran
Finding and Stopping Fungi to Prevent Severe Disease and Save Lives
Prevention is key in CDC's 24/7 mission to support domestic and global partners in identifying public health problems and stopping them. And that is exactly what CDC's fungal experts are doing in South Africa with a program to decrease and eventually stop the number of HIV patients who develop cryptococcal meningitis, a serious fungal disease of the brain and spinal column that can be fatal.
To learn more about it, CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, met with Tom Chiller, MD, MPHTM, chief of the Mycotic Diseases Branch, Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED), National Center for Emerging and Infectious Zoonotic Diseases (NCEZID) during a Conversation with the Director.
Cryptococcus spp. are fungi found in the environment. Healthy people who breathe them in rarely get sick, but HIV patients, with weakened immune systems, can develop cryptococcal infection that in turn can cause cryptococcal meningitis. Worldwide, approximately 1 million new cases of cryptococcal meningitis occur annually, resulting in as many as 625,000 deaths.
"With over half a million people being killed from this infection each year, we knew we needed to come up with a plan that could help prevent these deaths," said Chiller, pictured above, who is also the associate director for epidemiologic science for DFWED.
"One of the problems with HIV is that it lowers our immune system's ability to respond to normal infections. And many of those infections are fungi. I'm a mycologist, I study fungi and in public health we are challenged with being able to prevent fungal infections," added Chiller. "So, we set out to find the best strategy to prevent life threatening disease or cryptococcal meningitis. Even if we can't prevent the initial infection— we can stop it from becoming severe disease— so then we can prevent death."
Detecting Infection before Disease
The strategy is grounded in science, partnership commitment, and technology. A rapid dipstick cryptococcal antigen test, similar to a pregnancy one, can be performed anywhere and provides results in 10 minutes at a cost of $2 per person, Chiller explained, but to see this through will take relentless focus.
Chiller continued enthusiastically, "It turns out that cryptococcal infection is an interesting infectious disease because it has a wonderfully simple diagnostic test …the antigen test becomes positive in your blood in a matter of weeks to months before you get meningitis. So the test allows us to detect infection before you have severe disease, because we know severe disease can mean death in 50 to 70 percent of patients."
For decades, to find out if cryptococcal infection was present in HIV patients with a CD4 cell count lower than 100, experts relied on a traditional test that Chiller described as "fantastic" but that required a laboratory and some expertise.
In South Africa, CDC partnered with the National Department of Health, the National Health Laboratory Service, USAID, and our local office and in September a program to screen high-risk patients began. To date 1,500 people have been screened. Of those about 5 percent (75 people) have been found to have infection and are now on treatment to prevent meningitis.
"If you can detect infection before disease, you can save lives. This is a winnable battle and so it is important to go out and start screening programs," said Chiller, who explained that if the fungus is not treated before providing HIV anti-retroviral therapy (ART), patients can experience serious adverse reactions. "It's important to identify the patients with the fungus early with screening and treat them with oral antifungal medicine. So, (we can) beat down the fungus and then reconstitute the immune system with ART. That is really important in this disease."
Chiller said that the cost of treating individuals with cryptococcal meningitis "is very high because you have to put them in the hospital and give them costly IV medicines. The alternative is to screen—it costs a couple of dollars per test and might cost less in the future—identify early infection, and then use antifungal medicine pills that can be taken as an outpatient. And those costs are as low as $40 for a 6-month supply. It's a cost-saving program for countries that have this disease."
Studies done in Uganda have shown that "If your prevalence for crypto is anywhere above 1 percent, it's a cost-effective strategy to screen for Cryptococcus," said Chiller.
Because of the potential for saving thousands of lives, South Africa included in its 2012 National Strategic Plan a program to have high-risk patients screened on a routine basis. When that happens, it is anticipated that between 400,000 to 500,000 people will be screened per year for cryptococcal infection—with a fungus among us, this screening will save lives and protect people from severe disease.

That being said I have several questions.
- Is the maverick compatible with standard nelson type parts? Like nelson springs and such.
- Can it except a CCI dropout changer attachment to replace the stock ASA?
- Is the grip frame compatible with one for the phantom?
- If I can't find replacement parts what would you suggest doing to restore the internals?
Thanks in advance. (also sorry for the lack of focus in the picture)

The Forest is full of vegetables, and I, for one, am up for a cull.
I've been speaking to the Kitchen Managers and they agree.
So from this Monday I will be organising meat-eating on a grand scale.
There will be blood on the walls...one may call it an installation of grand irony!
Meat Mondays - starting this Monday (a bank holiday no less) - in the garden - I am hoping the BBQ smoke will waft into the cafe, luring all those vegetarians and vegans to come and taste my meat.
If you want to taste Mark's Meat then come along - all are welcome.
If this Monday's event proves to be a success (and let's hope so...I need the money) then I've been thinking of branching out into more ethnic meat recipes to please the Hippies.
Bush meat is readily available on e-bay. Just the other day I saw some Gorilla testes going for a bargain. Unfortunately they wouldn't post so I passed this time. But man did they look tasty...
So hopefully see you there. Bring a friend (No vegans)
(If raining we will move the BBQ to the office - I will be hastily defrosting the Lidl burgers in the sink)

Flashy Pink
How about something a little more flashy for a change? This hairstyle is not for everyone but sure as heck looks amazing and flashy! We love the coloring job done on this mane going with a full set of think pink hair with subtle blue highlights through the fringe which really stand out over that bright pink and gives her fringe a nice creative edge. Perfectly layered keeping plenty of volume at the top and towards the fringe really gives her a classic and retro vibe regardless of the color.

Dist. 88 Board elects officers
NEW ULM – The District 88 Board of Education will hold its annual organizational meeting and a study session Thursday.
During the organizational meeting, newly-elected board members Sharon Gieseke, Jill Hulke and Matt Ringhofer took the oath of office.
The board also elected officers for this year. Duane Winter was re-elected chair, Patricia Hoffman was elected vice-chair, Steve Gag was elected clerk and Don Deslauriers was elected treasurer.
Board members were also assigned to various committees.
Compensation for board members remained unchanged from $1,200 annually, plus $35 per committee meeting and $70 for a full-day training session.
A mileage rate was approved to conform to the IRS guideline for the year.
The board hired two literacy coaches, Cynthia Jakel at Jefferson Elementary School and Barbara Jensen at Washington Elementary School, for the balance of the school year.
The teachers were hired to help improve literacy skills, with state literacy aid approved late during the last legislative session. The coaches will circulate among classrooms.
Nursing services
contract update
The board approved a revised contract with Brown County for providing nursing services to non-public schools.
The $53,022 contract is for services to area Catholic and Lutheran schools as well as pre-school screening for District 88.
The contract is being amended to reflect actual, versus projected, enrollments.
Study session: graduation requirements
During the study session which followed the organizational meeting, administrators and a guidance counselor familiarized the board with Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards, required state testing and state graduation requirements, especially in light of the fact three new members joined the board. The presenters explained state and locally-required credits for graduation and current system and student-accountability tests.
The board also discussed the administrative recruitment process. Two key administrators may need to be replaced next year: retiring Superintendent Harold Remme and interim Washington School Principal Les Koppendrayer.
Remme informed the board that there is a possibility for Koppendrayer to remain as an interim principal for another year, but that is not yet certain.
On the superintendent issue, Remme recommended that the board recruit an external consultant to handle the search and recruitment.
Four entities have submitted proposals upon request to render this service, and Remme recommended that the board goes with the South Central Service Co-op, which will provide the service free of charge (apart from expenses like printing or advertising) because the district is a member of the co-op. The other proposals came from for-profit businesses, he explained.
The board will meet with the consultants Jan. 15 to discuss details in the process, with the goal of approving a contract possibly in late March or early April.
Referendum funds
Remme also shared ideas about the potential allocation of the funds generated by a local levy of $575 per pupil per year approved by voters last November.
Remme suggested possible priorities for use of the new funds, especially stressing the recovery of deficit spending and the reduction of class section sizes.

Skip to comments.Mayor Doomberg Puts Marathon Ahead of Starving, Freezing Citizens in Need
Posted on 11/02/2012 1:00:35 PM PDT by NYer
RUSH: ABC on Good Morning America today actually said they've got a poll, eight out of ten approve of Obama's handling.
Well, I've got some sound bites from people from Staten Island and from Queens. They're not happy up there. In fact, this is gonna get worse -- much worse -- before it gets better, and now they're gonna run the New York marathon. Do you know what Bloomberg's doing? They are kicking refugees, essentially, out of hotels to make room for people coming into town for the marathon.
"Well, we need the money! Oh, yeah, we need the economic benefit of the New York marathon."
Everybody, wherever you go, they're outraged over this decision. How in the world...? When you have people starving, when you have people begging for food and begging for clothes -- they have no place to stay, they've got no heat, it's gonna get cold at night this weekend -- how in the world do you do this? Well, liberalism, folks! I hate to be so simplistic with the answer, but it means something.
And I could really rock the boat if I added something else about what I really think of this marathon business. (interruption) Well, because it's part of the Health Nazi Crowd, and they're all leftists, too. It's all part of the, "You can't have something larger than 16 ounces to drink. You can't eat any trans fat." These are the people on the other side of that that are loved and adored.
RUSH: Oh, there's a great hashtag on Twitter. Do you know what a hashtag is? (interruption) You don't know what a hashtag is? Well, put your mind to it. You know what a "tag" is? (interruption) Okay, the hashtag is: #LetThemEatMarathons. I'm telling you, going ahead with this marathon in the midst of all this, kicking residents out of hotels to make room for marathoners? There are little children being kicked out! They're bringing two giant generators that could power 400 houses into Central Park to power things for the marathon.
Yeah, and this is all at the behest of Mayor Doomberg.
RUSH: Oh, wow, folks, it's not as bad as I thought. Not as bad, this marathon business. This afternoon in New York City Mayor Bloomberg held a press conference to update people about the recovery efforts from Hurricane Sandy, and he said this about the running of the New York marathon on Sunday.
BLOOMBERG: The Road Runners Club has asked each runner in this weekend's marathon to also contribute $26.20, which is a dollar for each mile of the race, and hopefully some will do a lot more than that. Theyre running this race to help New York City and the donations from all of the runners and the clubs are going to be a big relief to our relief efforts.
RUSH: You gotta be kidding.
BLOOMBERG: And if you remember, you go back to 9/11, I think Rudy made the right decision in those days to run the marathon. It pulled people together and we have to find some ways to express ourselves and show our solidarity with each other.
RUSH: There you have it, folks, there you have it. Solidarity with each other, holding hands, working hard with each other. This race is for you. You're in Staten Island, this race is for you. This race is to rebuild New York. The New York marathon to rebuild New York, and how's it gonna happen? Well, every competitor is gonna donate $26.20. You know how they got to that number? That's a dollar a mile. 'Cause the original idiot back in Greece who ran that distance to inform somebody that the bad guys were coming is the only reason we have marathons.
RUSH: A ribbon? Oh, oh, oh, have the runners wear a ribbon. What would you call this ribbon? Hurricane awareness ribbon? Everybody's already aware. There you have it, folks, $26.20 from every marathoner. I'm New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and this race is for you.
People can't even get to New York to watch the stupid marathon! I hope Bloomberg gets skewered over this, the dumb old ass.
Check out the twitter hash tag Rush mentioned- #LetThemEatMarathons
The vast libtard-wing of the demento crats should be put under insanity watch or in jail or at the very least panhandling on the streets for their.
Not in high positions of authority and power where they can influence everyday people's lives and livelihoods!
Nanny knows best and he knows a marathon will cure what ails you!
Someone on Fox a few mnutes ago, said some of the Sponsors are pulling out of the Marathon.
Hope they all pull out....
Bloomberg! WTH is this man's problem? Cancel the Marathon, and if he somehow argues to delay election day, screw you For really not caring about people in the disaster zone known as NYC!
Remember when it was Katrina?
Focusing ire on Bloomberg also helps the MSM keep some heat off of Obozo, and also helps to keep Benghazi off the front page.
Doomie is defiantly wearing his Moe Howard mask...
NYC politics is like a SNL skit..
"The NYC MArathon"..... NOW..... ROTFL....
32oz. BIG GULP, no problem.
Huricane Sandy, not so much.
So, now they want to divert the ferries as well as cops for the marathon?
Laddies and Germs...the USA is on the verge of total catastrophe if we continue to let lunatics like this represent us at any level of government. They need to be institutionalized and not allowed to run free among sane people. Liberalism truly is a mental disease.
I think a thread of tweets from that hashtag would be funny
But everyone wears the ribbon, you must wear the ribbon...
Could be Blowbrain is telling New Yorkers to get used to traveling on foot.
I left links on the other thread:
NYC Marathon unsure how to get runners to starting line
Reminds me of the part in Titanic where the 60 person lifeboats are used to seat a dozen first class passengers comfortably. Too bad the hurricane wasn't smoking or eating trans fats or else Bloomberg would've asked every branch of the military for help...
Thank you, Thank you, I'll be here all week
Try the veal...
Done! See post #18
I just hope that no sewage lagoons were flooded because they don't need Bloombergs floating around.
thanks, I sent a few
.."And may the odds be ever in your favor...."
Hey, can either of you explain to me how ultra-liberal Bloomberg was able to run on the Republican ticket?! I have never understood that.
because the Dem side was too crowded?
Apparently FEMA has 400 generators and have used about 4 of them
Where have you been the last 40 years?
Public unions and agencies are NEVER known for smarts, efficiency and hustle.
You want more than 4 generators?
As someone commented yesterday, if this is how the government handles an emergency, imagine how they will handle someone's request for hip replacement surgery. The goverment is notoriously wasteful and should be the last resort in time of need.

One and a half million Colombian flowers were sent to the United States on May 14 as the first shipment under the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, which goes into force today. The United States is the largest market for Colombia's exports, representing nearly 40 percent of the Colombian export market. The United States remains the largest supplier to the Colombian market, with Colombian imports from the United States in 2011 totaling $13.7 billion, or one-quarter of Colombia's imports.
Under the new agreement, 80 percent of all industrial and manufactured products exported from the United States to Colombia will be duty free, effective immediately. This includes agricultural and construction equipment, building products, aircraft and parts, fertilizers, information technology equipment, medical scientific equipment and wood. Also, more than half of U.S. exports of agricultural commodities to Colombia become duty-free, including wheat, barley, soybeans, high-quality beef, bacon, and almost all fruit and vegetable products. The agreement also provides significant new access to Colombia's $180 billion services market, supporting increased opportunities for U.S. service providers. According to the International Trade Commission, the agreement will lead to an increase in U.S. GDP of $2.5 billion.
"Today, the historic U.S.-Colombia trade agreement is in effect. It brings benefits to businesses of every size in both of our countries," United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk said. "This is good news for U.S. entrepreneurs, workers, farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and service providers who are ready to export more U.S. goods and services to Colombia's growing market. Similarly, it's good news for Colombia, which stands to gain in terms of economic growth, jobs, and permanent access to the world's largest market here in the United States.""This historic trade agreement also affirms the strong and deep relationship between the United States and Colombia, one of our closest friends and allies in the hemisphere," Ambassador Kirk continued.
Colombia is a steadfast strategic partner of the United States and a leader in the region. The agreement is a historic development in the strong relationship between our two countries, and it reflects our commitment to support democracy and economic growth in Colombia.

In short: great weather good views once off A20 would have liked more marshals and mile markersDate of review: March 22, 2009
In short: Good training run for FLM as the distance matched my scheduled long run. I did it at my MGP and it went really well so I was welll chuffed .In full: This was a well organised race, especially for a 1st time. I liked the rolling start although it was still very narrow in places and difficult to pass or be passed.The hill was nice and testing but worth it when you got the nice views from the top. I'll be back next year if I've got a London Marathon place but otherwise no.Also well done to the cadets at the water stations they did a good job and were really encouraging. There could have been a few more marshalls along the course as quite a few junctions had no marshall and this could have caused a problem.All in all not a bad day but made better for me by me completing 17.3 miles at my MGP and not being to knackered at the end of it.Keep Running!www.tommys.org.stevesmarathonDate of review: March 22, 2009

In short: Well organised run. The section off the A20 was the best bit by far!In full: As a training run for London this ticked all the boxes! Good friendly event that given time could turn in to a must-do for those building up to a Spring Marathon.Date of review: March 22, 2009

In short: Great weather. Good race. More mile markers next time pleaseDate of review: March 22, 2009
In short: A20 actionIn full: Enjoyed the run, well organised and friendly. The cadets did a great job. The road bike time trials were a nice distraction. Not sure what I'll do with the ash tray though!?Date of review: March 22, 2009
In short: An good trraining runIn full: A well organised race and the rolling start worked. The route was quite challenging but a good preperation for London Marathon. The cadets at the water stations were excellent and very encouraging.Date of review: March 22, 2009
In short: Going out and over Hubbards hill on to the Downs was ok, and the views were pleasant enough.. The down hill back to the A20 was steep and played on the knees.Once on the A20 to go back,this is a remaining long straight stretch of 7 miles. dIn full: 7 miles of fast head on traffic and nothing else to distract you kept my head down to just get to the end.This is a hard run,no question,and psycologically boosts your confidence for marathon potential.A good training run for this,but wouldn't do it for any other reason.Nice dish but could have had the distance covered put on it.Date of review: March 22, 2009
