200Hr Sadhana Yoga School Bali Yoga Teacher Training November 2016
- Jiwa Damai Organic Garden & Retreat Center
- Badung, Bali, Indonesia
- Nov 1, 2016 - Nov 24, 2016 (24 days)
Do you ever wonder what Yoga really is? If it is more than just fitness? More than a modern hippy fad? Do you have a desire to know what it is really all about? If so, then Yoga Teacher Training Course is the place for you. Join SYS and our amazing teachers in the heart of Bali for this Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training that will teach you what yoga really is.
In this Bali yoga teacher training course we will live with each other at Jiwa Damai, an organic garden retreat center situated in a tranquil and secluded environment. We are nestled away in a beautiful tropical valley in the heart of Bali, far away from the crowds of tourists. It provides a sanctuary in an idyllic, powerful place where guests can experience tranquility and re-connect to the life-giving qualities of the earth. Our permaculture garden is designed in accordance with nature. We practice sustainable biological gardening based on EM-Technologies (effective microorganisms). One area of the garden contains a variety of medicinal herbs, in other areas we grow plants for Balinese ceremonies as well as organic vegetables and fruit. One focus is to preserve rare species of indigenous plants, another to harvest coconuts and use local traditional methods to produce extra virgin coconut oil.
At Jiwa Damai we will share nutritious, organic Balinese meals family style, we will meditate together in the gardens, practice yoga together in an open air lounge, engage in meaningful philosophical discussion in a conscious way allowing us to explore the depth of mind and emotion and we will explore the physical and energetic bodies finding ways to connect our inner and outer world. By incorporating yoga in its totality we will learn to teach through our own daily practice.
Course highlights
Yoga classes twice daily
Daily pranayama sessions
Daily teaching workshops and lectures
Daily meditation and chanting sessions
Daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Fresh organic vegetarian meals
23 nights accommodation
The yoga of spiritual practice
Sadhana yoga means yoga as a spiritual practice. We offer two variations of asana practice that are a blend of various traditions. The Vinyasa flow practice is derived mainly from Ashtanga yoga and is a fast-paced flow.
The second is a Hatha practice derived from Sivananda tradition, which is more meditative with longer held poses. Both sequences together provide you with a great foundation to build any type of yoga class upon. After graduation, you will receive a 200-hour yoga teacher certificate, will be able to register with Yoga Alliance, and teach anywhere in the world.
Course overview
The course will cover chanting, meditation, pranayama, and asana, in addition to yogic philosophy, physical and energetic anatomy, ethics, and the business of yoga. Cleansing practices of kriyas will be incorporated throughout the program, including fasting and silence.

What would happen if you were forced to murder your coworkers in order to stay alive? That's the basic thrust of "The Belko Experiment," which combines the talents of screenwriter James Gunn ("Super," "Guardians Of The Galaxy") and director Greg Mclean ("Wolf Creek").
Featuring a large ensemble (and of course, not all of them will survive the running time) including John Gallagher Jr, Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, John C. McGinley, Melonie Diaz, Sean Gunn, Josh Brener, David Dastmalchian, Michael Rooker and more, the film is set in Colombia, where the workers at an American company operating in the region find themselves locked inside their building, and given a set of increasingly chilly and bloody commands. Here's the official synopsis:
The Belko Experiment explores a twisted social experiment, in which a group of 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogata and ordered by an unknown voice on an intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed.
"The Belko Experiment" opens on March 17, 2017.

Allen & Heath
Allen & Heath has its roots in Swinging London, beginning by hand-building live performance mixing consoles for rock's premier players like Pink Floyd and The Who before moving into commercial design and manufacture in 1973 with its introductory MOD1 modular multitrack recording console.
Its iLive Series mix 'n' match digital mixing system first unveiled in 2005 certainly bears little resemblance to its analogue ancestry, yet fast-forward to the second decade of the 21st Century and the Cornish company's current analogue and digital consoles are much used and loved by bands, rental companies, installers, houses of worship, DJs, clubs, broadcasters, and studios the world over. DSP developments have led to sideways moves into DJ workstations, matrix mixers for fixed installation, and USB/Firewire-equipped multitrack recorders for capturing live shows for mixing or playback.

Jackson - UnexpectedMature
I stood uncomfortably at the bottom of the stairs, my fingers itching to rip the stupid tie away from my neck. I had worn the suit and tie to try and please Riley, but now damn Tori was fawning over me. Her gushing compliments about how neat and handsome I looked sickened me, but I guessed I'd rather her gushing than Julian's dagger glares. We were all waiting at the bottom of the stairs for Riley. She was taking a bloody long time to get changed. I looked up as soft thuds sounded from the stairs to see Riley. I saw a lot more of her than I wanted to.
"Oh dear, what on Earth is she wearing?" gasped Tori from behind me.
Riley was not dressed formally like she told me to, but instead wore a flimsy skirt over a black leotard. Her skirt was see-through, the gauzy blue material doing little to conceal her legs. And the leotard was way too tight for her, accentuating her curves almost indecently. Over her shoulder swung a black gym bag, with the ends of her pointe shoes poking out. She was not headed for dinner, that was certain. But what was with the dancing costume? I never knew she danced!
"Ummm... where are you going?" asked Tori, putting into words what I wanted to say.
"My old dance studio," she said, grabbing a bottle of water next to the coat stand, "I'm done with Julian and Jackson's shit."
"What do you mean?" Julian asked, grabbing her wrist.
What kind of a question was that? She meant that you wrecked everything, you idiot! I thought.
"I need you two to get along," she told us, "And I need to let off steam. So bye."
I opened my mouth to object to her sudden mood, but she cut me off.
"Screw you Jackson," she hissed at me, slamming the door behind her.
After all this time with Riley Jones, I still cannot figure her out. One minute she is all happy, and the next she acts like the world's against her. I contemplated swinging open the door and going after her.
"Let's go," Tori said, breaking the silence.
"What! We're still going out to dinner?" I asked, "But Riley's gone!"
"Doesn't matter," Tori said matter-of-factly, "I booked the most expensive restaurant in town, and I'm not about to cancel it for Riley's silly whims."
"Alright, Tori," Julian said, pushing her towards the door, "How about you head out to the car while Jackson and I sort ourselves out?"
"No fighting, boys," she told us as she stepped out towards the car.
"Now, I say that we make a truce," Julian said, closing the door after Tori.
"A truce? Are you serious?" I said, "You know how hard that's going to be? I know I want to punch you every time I see your face, and I'm pretty sure the feeling's mutual."
"Ok, you have a point," he admitted, "What do you propose then?"
"I want to move out of here as quickly as possible," I said, "I've got enough savings to rent out a place, and I just got a job downtown as an apprentice landscaper."
"Good," he said, "Now Tori, Riley and I can have peace back in our house."
"What do you mean Riley and I?" I snapped, "She's coming with me!"
"How about no?" he retorted, "As if she'd want to stay with you by herself, you know how indecent that is?"
"Fine, we'll see what Riley thinks about this," I said, "I doubt she'll want to stay for a minute longer in your bloody Disney castle of a house."
"Get out Jackson," he said.
"Oh no, you can't tell me to do that," I mocked, "What will dear Tori say when she finds out her favourite brother had been fighting despite her instructions?"
"Shut up and get out Barker!" he yelled, "And stop your bloody mocking of Tori, she has nothing to do with this."
I walked out of the door and across the lawn to my truck. Smiling smugly, I slid into the driver's seat and turned on ignition. Ha, I finally managed to make Julian really snap!

A CONVICTED murderer has gone on trial for killing his neighbour — 25 years after claiming his first victim.
David Cook, 65, was given life in 1988 for strangling a woman Sunday school teacher after she befriended him in prison.
He served 21 years before being freed on life licence to start afresh in a village 100 miles away.
But a jury yesterday heard that two years after his release he killed again in 2011 in a case that bore "a chilling similarity" to the first.
This time his victim was neighbour Leonard Hill, 64, who was beaten and throttled during another robbery, Newport Crown Court was told.
Cook ransacked his bungalow before hiding his body in his home.
Two days later Cook's probation team visited him — while his victim's corpse lay hidden in a bedroom.
He later phoned his support officer saying: "I have done something terrible. I have killed my neighbour."
Cook, of Rhymney, South Wales, admits killing Mr Hill, but denies murder. Trial continues.

OREC is looking for new projects as we work to apply for new FIT 5 contracts.
Do you own a 6-8 acre parcel of marginal farmland, or
Do you have a building with at least 10,000 ft2 of roof space?
AND… Is it located within one of these four city or counties?
- City of Ottawa (boundary map)
- Renfrew County (boundary map)
- United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (boundary map)
- United Counties of Prescott and Russell (boundary map)
If you meet the criteria above, you could be the host site of our next community-owned solar power project.
Can the grid take on new generation?
There are limitations to building new community-owned projects that are outside of our control. One of them is grid capacity; can the new generation be accepted by the grid. The first thing to look for is the power lines that are adjacent to your property. It is important to have a three phase line very close to your property. You can tell if it is three phase if it has three wires running along the top rather than just one. Like this or this.
What's in it for property owners?
As the landowner, you could receive a lease rate that is typically 5% of revenue paid annually for a 20 year period. Landowners can also earn solid returns by joining OREC and investing in new and existing projects. OREC does not require lessors to be members of the co-op nor do they need to invest in the project if the co-op is to be sole owners of the project.
I'm interested, what now?
Let's go over the process a little more in detail. If want to support OREC by having us build a new community-owned project, we would start with a phone conversation to discuss the requirements in greater detail. A lease would be negotiated and signed and OREC would proceed with a FIT application by October 2016. If we are awarded a FIT contract, we will have roughly three years to build the project.
Please use the form below to get in touch with OREC's General Manager: Janice Ashworth. Janice can also be reached by email or by phone at 613-296-8232.

Abu Dhabi's new, American-designed yacht for the Volvo round the world race was unveiled in the exclusive resort of Portofino, not far from where it was built in Italy, and starts a 2,000-mile qualification sail to Cascais, near Lisbon, on Thursday.
British double silver medallist Ian Walker, said he was "very excited" by the black, 70-foot racing machine, emblazoned with a stylised falcon on the bow.
Abu Dhabi is also scheduled to be the second stop on the race which leaves Alicante on 5 November for Cape Town and continues to China, New Zealand, Brazil, Florida, Lisbon, Lorient and Galway.
"This is not just a tourism initiative but for the people of Abu Dhabi to share with the rest of the world," said Dayne Lim of the Abu Dhabi Tourist Authority, adding: "This team will bring glory to Abu Dhabi around the world." The boat has been named Azzam (Arabic for determined), and has two Emiratis among a an international crew squad which includes british navigator Jules Salter.
British double Olympic medallist Chris Draper has been appointed skipper and helmsman of the Team Korea challenge for the America's Cup.
He had been, with Pete Greenhalgh, been trying for the 2012 slot in the 49er – Greenhalgh recently bought the Chinese Sanya Team boat back from Spain to the Hamble river for modifications ahead of the Volvo round the world race – but will be at the helm of the White Tiger AC45 wind-powered catamaran at the opening regatta for the America's Cup world series in Cascais at the beginning of August.
Mike Golding has announced his entry in the 2012 Vendée Globe singlehanded non-stop round the world race.
He has secured sponsorship from the Gamesa wind power technology company which is also a developer of wind farms.
Golding, after further modifications to his Merfyn Owen-designed 60-footer, will also contest the Transat Jacques Vabre double-handed race from Le Havre to Costa Rica in October.
Alex Thomson will also contest the Vendée in Hugo Boss. Both Dee Caffari and Sam Davies have also been seeking finance to take part.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates commends the President's support of action on immigration, opportunity in higher education, and access to broadband internet.
During the State of the Union Address, the President renewed his calls for comprehensive immigration reform.
"We were pleased to see the President renew calls for immigration reform. He will be highly regarded for compassionately standing up for undocumented immigrants when Congress failed to enact the will of the majority of American citizens who are in favor of immigration reform," said Ken Lee, OCA Chief Executive Officer. "However, it is deeply concerning that deportations of refugees from Central America have escalated recently, oftentimes without necessary due process or legal resources for deportees. As a community whose roots are often in the refugee experience, we caution the President against staining his record on immigration with deportations that hurt families."
The President also mentioned two key areas that policy makers can act on this year: access to higher education and broadband internet.
"Higher education is a vital pathway out of poverty for many first generation college students, and should not be a privilege reserved for the wealthy or those born in this country," said Lee. "Although Asian Americans attend college at high rates as a whole, there are much lower rates of educational attainment in many parts of our community as a result of poverty. For example, while 73% of Taiwanese students receive their bachelor's degree, less than 14% of Hmong, Cambodian, and Lao students complete postsecondary education. Undocumented students are particularly disadvantaged, because they are unable to access financial aid from the federal government. Federal financial aid to include undocumented students and support Pell Grants so that all students in the United States are allowed the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Congress must fully reauthorize the Higher Education Act this year with these aims in mind."
"In addition to federal student aid, a crucial step will be improving access to broadband internet," continued Lee. "In an increasingly technologically dependent world, broadband internet is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Ensuring broadband internet access will help Asian American and Pacific Islander students achieve success in the highly competitive world economy, and we are glad to hear the President's support on this issue. We call upon the FCC to support our students by modernizing the Lifeline program to include broadband internet access for low-income consumers."

By Barry Deutsch
I was recently invited to give a presentation to a national trade association of 150 CEOs running businesses between roughly $5 and $50 million in a particular B2B niche. At the end of my talk, one of the CEOs came up to me and said: "Now I realize what a 'dum-dum' I've been. I now understand why so many of our hires have failed to live up to our expectations."
All I did was walk the group through our Success Factor Methodology — which essentially, when stripped down to the basic elements, is a common model for best practices in hiring wrapped in our words, terms, and "sticky phrases." (You might not remember me talking about the three techniques of sourcing great talent in our well-known hiring top talent workshop — but you will remember my terms such as hiring the tallest pygmy, fishing in the shallow end of the candidate pool, and taking whomever lands on your doorstep.)
Do You Feel Like a Dum-Dum?
- Would you admit that your hiring success is less than stellar?
- Have you had that special "a ha" moment when you realize your hiring process for employee selection, interviewing, assessment, and evaluation could probably use a major overhaul?
- Is your hiring process so weak that a significant portion of your hires fail to live up to your expectations (I'm going way out on a limb here, and assuming you're defining expectations of quantifiable results, outcomes, and deliverables)?
- How do you know if your hires are even living up to your expectations of performance or success?
If one of the key elements in your employee selection process is NOT to define performance or success before interviewing, it's got to be a little tough to quantitatively measure success or failure.
When was the last time you sat down with your executive team and walked through how the selection of top talent employees works at your company. I'll bet in many cases you'll either start to laugh or cry. In most cases (based on comments and feedback we hear everyday from candidates in our executive search practice and from hiring executives), your hiring process may resemble a Dilbert comic strip.
In most companies, employee selection, finding employees, and hiring top talent is not a process. This is one of the TOP TEN MISTAKES IN HIRING. Even in large companies, hiring managers do whatever they desire when the door closes and the interview begins. Hiring in most companies is a random, arbitrary set of events predicated on how Tom, Sally, or Mark does it. There is NO consistency, structure, standards in hiring.
I've consulted with numerous sales teams in which three to six sales managers across the country are hiring the same type of sales professionals. These are typically divisions of large Fortune 500 companies. In almost every instance, every manager had a different approach, criteria, questions, and style to interviewing, selecting, and hiring the SAME candidate. When this lack of integrated hiring process occurs, selecting employees is a process built upon LUCK as opposed to a consistent, reliable, common, replicable methodology.
Here's my thought-provoking question of the day: When is the right time for you to begin implementing a rigorous hiring process that improves your probability of hiring top talent at every level in the organization? Should it be when you have one more hire to make in the next 12 months — or 22? Should it be when you when to grow your sales by $300,000 over the next 12 months, or $7 million?

The Life of John Coleridge Patteson HTML version
The Episcopate At Kohimarama. 1866.
The removal of his much-loved correspondent did not long withhold the outpouring of
Bishop Patteson's heart to his family; while his work was going on at the College,
according to his own definition of education which was given about this time in a speech
at St. John's: 'Education consists in teaching people to bear responsibilities, and laying the
responsibilities on them as they are able to bear them.'
Meanwhile, he wrote as follows to Miss Mackenzie, on receiving the book she had
promised to send him as a relic of her brother:--
'January 1, 1866.
'My dear Miss Mackenzie,--I have this evening received your brother's Thomas a
Kempis, and your letter. I valued the letter much, as a true faithful record of one whom
may God grant that I may know hereafter, if, indeed, I may be enabled to follow him as
he followed Christ. And as for the former, what can I say but I hope that the thought of
your dear brother may help me to read that holy book in something of the spirit in which
he read and meditated on it.
'It seems to bring me very near to him in thought. Send me one of his autographs to paste
into it. I don't like to cut out the one I have in the long letter to the Scottish Episcopal
Church, which you kindly sent me.
'I found, too, in one of Mr. Codrington's boxes, a small sextant for me, which, being
packed with the Thomas a Kempis, I think may have been your brother's. Do you really
mean this for me too? If so, I shall value it scarcely less than the book. Indeed, I think
that, divided as I am from all relations and home influences and affections, I cling all the
more to such means as I may still enjoy of keeping up associations. I like to have my
father's watch-chain in use, and to write on his old desk. I remember my inkstand in our
drawing-room in London. So I value much these memorials of the first Missionary
Bishop of the Church of England, in modern days at all events, and night by night as I
read a few lines in his book, and think of him, it brings me, I hope, nearer in spirit to him
and to others, who, like him, have done their duty well and now rest in Christ.
'We are pretty well now (Jan. 20), but one very promising lad sank last week in low
fever; a good truthful lad he was, and as I baptized him at midnight shortly before he
died, I felt the great blessing of being able with a very clear conscience to minister to him
that holy sacrament; and so he passed away, to dwell, I trust, with his Lord.
'What a revelation to that spirit in its escape from the body! But I must not write on. With
many thanks once again for these highly- valued memorials of your brother,
'I remain, my dear Miss Mackenzie,

From Ask the Builder: http://www.askthebuilder.com/735_Remove_Brick_Mortar.shtml
Smeared mortar on brick pavers, as well as brick walls, is a very common problem. Depending upon the type of brick, the job can be simple or a nightmare. It is my hope that you do not have a deeply grooved wire-cut brick, as these have many small crevices that can make cleaning a career choice.
Typically bricklayers will use muriatic acid to dissolve mortar from most brick. This is simply a form of hydrochloric acid. When you purchase this product it often has a skull and crossbones on the label warning you that it is a powerful chemical. But these products can be neutralized. That is something all of us should have discovered in our high-school chemistry class. In fact, the mortar does neutralize the acid as it works.
There are other acids that will react and dissolve the alkaline chemicals in the mortar. Even white vinegar that is in your kitchen will work to some degree. Since you eat vinegar in many foods, you know it is not a toxic acid. The challenge for you is finding an acid somewhere between vinegar and hydrochloric acid that will efficiently remove the mortar buildup. You should consider calling a physical chemistry professor at a local college or high school. You can also visit a building supply company to see if they stock a non-toxic acid that will dissolve the mortar.
The first step in the process is to remove as much of the mortar as possible with a scraper or chisel without scratching the brick face. Clear water flowing over the brick acts as an effective lubricant that will minimize damage to the brick. If you have to tap the scraper with a hammer, do so at a low angle with the face of the scraper nearly parallel with the face of the brick. You are trying to get the mortar film to a thickness less than that of a plastic credit card.
Once the majority of the mortar is off the brick, you then should consider bathing the brick with a diluted acid solution. As mentioned before, muriatic acid is highly effective, and it works on most brick. Usually you mix one part of the acid with ten parts of clean water. Always read the instructions on the acid label and pay particular attention to all safety instructions.
I have found in most cases you should dampen the brick with clear water before you apply the acid solution. Always try this in an out-of-the-way area if you are unsure if the acid will harm the brick. If you use muriatic acid, you should see tiny bubbles forming where the solution contacts the smeared mortar. This tells you that the acid is reacting with the mortar paste and is starting to dissolve it into the liquid solution.
Use a scrub brush to help remove the mortar. Wait five or ten minutes after the acid solution has been applied to the brick before you scrub. Allow the acid to do much of the work for you. It can take multiple applications of acid solution to remove all of the mortar. Rinse the acid solution from the brick with massive amounts of water. The more water you use, the better.
Working with acid solutions is very tricky. You can hurt yourself, your clothes, your brick, the new mortar and vegetation around your home. If you have valuable vegetation and landscaping, you should try to stop any acid solution from getting into the soil.
Be sure to wear all of the protective gear to prevent burns to your skin and eyes. Muriatic acid straight from the bottle is a wicked liquid. The fumes are very toxic, and it can cause serious burns to your skin very quickly. Do not underestimate this chemical.

Twin Hearts
Twin sisters Amanda and Madelaine led separate lives ever since birth. Now, after the tragic death of their father, the two sisters reunite and try to amend a lifetime of separation. After a fight, Madelaine hides in the library, just to find herself face with a world of possibilities and danger. It is up to Amanda to bring her sister back. However, Madelaine is not sure she wants to come back.
The clock seemed to count down the minutes for the dreadful moment, or that was Amanda Martin thought of it in that particular moment. She leaned against the wall of her mother's studio, her arms crossed and her lips pressed tightly together. Her brown eyes were cast down upon the ground and her hair cascaded past her shoulder in ripples of amber color. She drummed her fingers against her arm and just waited, it was all she could do.
"Mandy, please promise me you're going to be considerate with your sister," her mother, Elisa Perkins begged tiredly. She was sitting behind her grand mahogany writing desk, the dim desk lamp partly illuminated her wearied face. Her face was framed with golden curls and her deep chocolate color eyes had red veins in the white areas. Her forehead now rested upon her hand propped up by the elbow, and sighed. "Your sister has gone through a lot, she just lost her father..."
"He was my father as well!" Amanda exploded indignantly, anger seeped to her mind at the thought of her sister and her dead father. She was no longer leaning against the wall, she was now standing upright with her fingers balled into a tight fist. "He was your husband, don't you feel anything at all for his passing away?"
"Of course I do," Elisa said in the same composed manner, "and I am very sad he is gone, he was such an unusual light to the world. I know he was your father as well, and I regret you only spent such little time with him, we're to blame for that though. But, your sister lived with him and the blow has to be much more stronger in her..."
"Mom, you're doing no better job at bearing the loss than I am," Amanda said, the back side of her throat hurt like hell as she tried to suppress all the sobs erupting from her chest. "Why does she has to come here anyway? She was perfectly fine living in England, she still has her grandparents..."
"Because her place is with her mother," Elisa said resolutely, trying as hard as she could to believe her own words. Elisa Perkins had married Richard Martin eighteen years ago, and after two years they produced two beautiful twin daughters. They lived a fairytale life for almost a year when work began interfering with their relationship, they no longer felt the spark of love. Thus, they decided to separate and each of them took a daughter to take care of. Richard took Madelaine back to England and raised her there with his parents, whilst Elisa raised Amanda in the United States. Amanda couldn't help but let the waves of bitterness and anger washed over her, she thought the whole deal of the separation was unfair. Madelaine, a sister whom she barely saw, except for brief summer visits, would now be a part of her life and share the same roof after so many years of separation. It was unfair that she got to spend part of her life with a father and a mother, she bitterly thought. She knew her thoughts and feelings were wrong, but they weren't out of place.
Amanda bit her lip and went back to her leaning position, she closed her eyes and allowed a tear to trickle down her cheek, a tear for her father who lay down deep in the ground somewhere in England.
The sound of a car pulling in the driveway startled them. Elisa glanced at the clock and saw it was already past nine o'clock, it was time to receive her daughter. She had gone through a lot of court procedures in order to gain custody of Madelaine after her ex-husband passed away. But finally she had managed to win her back from her grandparents. She stood with shaky legs and brushed the wrinkles off her expensive, high couture dress. "It is time, Amanda," she said and strode uneasily out of the room and down the stairs leading to the living room.

Soon we'll be calling him MacTrump.
Donald Trump has finally received his long-sought official Scottish coat of arms, according to the New York Post. Trump will use the coat of arms -- "Lion Rampant" -- as the insignia of his Trump International Golf Links course, which will open this summer in Northeastern Scotland.
Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born in Stornoway, on Scotland's Isle of Lewis, and "The Apprentice" magnate has often trumpeted his Scottish roots -- especially when it came to explaining his plans to build the so-called "golfopolis" there.Golf real estate struggling in Palm Springs With its scores of lush golf courses and sweet desert air, Palm Springs is like golf heaven, except you don't have to die to go there. But unfortunately for the Coachella Valley, few people dream of retiring here anymore, and if they still dream of it, they're less likely to be able to afford it. The USA Today's Mike Perrault and Keith Matheny report on the decline of golf real estate in the Coachella Valley, where one in four homes for sale is on a golf course.
He was given an official warning by Scotland's heraldic authority in 2008 after he created an unregistered crest, breaking ancient Scottish laws dating back to 1672.
Sarah Malone, the vice president of Trump International-Scotland, said the new coat of arms was created with the "importance" of the golf resort and "Trump's family heritage" in mind.
"The Lion Rampant makes reference to Scotland and the stars to America," Malone said, describing the insignia. "Three chevronels are used to denote the sky, sand dunes and sea -- the essential components of the [golf resort] site -- and the double-sided eagle represents the dual nature and nationality of Trump's heritage."
"We're not getting replacements for those people," said real estate analyst Lou Goodkin, president of Miami-based Goodkin Consulting.Wozniacki jokes that she's a bigger star than Rory Caroline Wozniacki told the Daily Mail that when she wants to tweak her boyfriend Rory McIlroy, she says that she's more famous than him.
"There are fewer golfers, fewer people who can pay the high amounts to buy into a club. There's going to be a lot more people out there that are challenged in their retirement years than we've had in the past."
Golf resort communities are bleeding money and members, as the recession exposed the vulnerability of the business model that created an unbreakable linkage between golf and real estate.
The Danish beauty, 21, says she teases the Irish ace that – while he might be a big name here in Ireland– she is the world No 1.We think we know McIlroy's new Tour nickname: Federline. Tweet of the Day One of the greatest ever? You better apologize, Luke!
Talking about their six months together, she admitted: "I definitely did not expect it to become that big, it was everywhere.
"I tease Rory, saying, 'That's how it is when you go out with a superstar'.
"In Denmark, I've been in the public eye for a long time and you just learn to live your life and not think too much about everything around."

Marijuana : LEGALIZATION??
It would make a difference...
Liberal political party
Economic issues
Social issues
*Unfair sentence*
Social life would improve
Traffickers gain a lot of profits!! According to a UN report in 2001, a kilo of heroin costs about $ 300 to produce in Pakistan and it's sold about $ 290,000 in the U.S.A.
<<It would be good for the economic of the society>>
Conservative party
Pot, cannabis, puff, joint
It comes from Himalaya; an area in
Middle East.
<<It would be immoral for people>>
Why not using it for poor countries??
The war of cannabis cost $42billion per year
Good points
Deficit for the government:
In Canada, annual federal spending under the national drug strategy amounted to nearly 450 million.(1983)
Black market
Violence is the only way to resolve their problems
commonly called :
If marijuana is legalized, what kind of consequences do you think it will generate ?
2 ounces= 5 years in jail
Less murders because of laws' reinforcement...
Better and effective control
Usually used in the Middle East, especially for the manufacture of rope and fabric or as medication
In short...
Marijuana is a product that is not seen well by the society
Some conventions international like:
The International Opium Convention
Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs
...are in the fight against illicit drugs and international crime
Criminality would decrease
Medical treatments
Gross domestic product would grow
if the government wants a safe society, it should have better control over the trading of marijuana.

Classification of Knowledge Areas/Hierarchies and Its Implications in Mass Customisation: An Exploratory Study
This paper explores the characteristics of knowledge management (KM) for mass customisation (MC) with respect to knowledge classification. The proposed knowledge classification framework classifies horizontal knowledge areas into customer, product, and process, and vertical knowledge hierarchies into strategic, conceptual, and operational. This provides useful strategic and operations insights in KM for MC. The classification framework explained different methods of knowledge process operations and different KM strategies. Therefore, firms intending to implement KM for MC need to consider the differentiated characteristics of classified knowledge areas and hierarchies. This study was conducted through focused interviews on practitioners from companies providing MC.

DVD Extra: 'Eastbound & Down'
Major League Baseball has had its share of outlandish relief pitchers who rode blazing fastballs to fame but quickly dissipated when the radar gun no longer approached triple digits. Quirky character traits that made the hurlers lovable as phenoms often made them intolerable bores once batters start taking them yard with regularity.
Kenny Powers, the boozy, washed-up ex-hurler played by Danny McBride on the HBO series Eastbound & Down, embodies the worst in all of them. The first two seasons of the Will Ferrell-produced comedy series (2009/2010, not rated, $30; $40 Blu-ray) follow the pitcher (who still is convinced of his own awesomeness) as he copes (badly) with his fall from grace while hoping to get another shot at the big leagues. Both two-disc sets come with extras including behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the show, deleted scenes and commentaries from the cast and crew.
A third season is in production and is expected to air on HBO this fall.
At the start of the first season, an unemployed Powers reluctantly returns to his hometown of Shelby, N.C., to take a job as a middle-school gym teacher. He crashes with his conservative older brother, and the brother's wife and three kids.
His all-night partying and ingratitude don't sit well with the family, and vulgarity doesn't endear him at school, either. But a guy whose motto is, "The best thing about being Kenny Powers, is being Kenny Powers," cares little for the opinions of those who are not as great as himself.
Problem is, the thing that made him so awesome — the ability to throw 101 mph heat — deserted him years ago, and no amount of sitting in his truck listening to his own motivational tapes is going to bring it back.
According to his back story, Powers got some steroid-assisted, flash-in-the-pan celebrity by saving Game 7 of the fictitious 2002 World Series for the Atlanta Braves. The notoriety went to his already swelled head.
His career stats, which can be found on the program's website, show that after his miraculous 2002 season he played for four different teams in four years with a steadily inflating ERA and a rapidly declining fastball. At each stop along the way, the foul-mouthed hurler managed to burn bridges with the team and/or community, guaranteeing his ticket out of town.
Still, a man can dream — and he sometimes does when he's shown how he imagines people react him. Between riding his jet ski, chasing women and getting his brain fried with his drug-addled buddy, Powers pines for high-school flame and current teacher April Buchanan (Katy Mixon).
She's engaged to the principal and seems embarrassed to even know him. But the delusional Powers is convinced that his charm is irresistible. Ferrell has a recurring role as sleazy used car dealer Ashley Schaeffer.
In the second season, Powers follows his quest to Mexico, where he plays for a professional team with a filthy-rich owner (Michael Peña), gets involved in cockfighting, woos a sultry lounge singer, meets his dad (Don Johnson) and reconnects with Stevie Janowski (Steve Little), the band teacher/idolizer who was his assistant in the first season.
There are a few loose ends left dangling that set up the third season, during which Kenny heads to South Carolina to play for the minor league Myrtle Beach Mermen.

Yard Signs. How Big Is Too Big
One West Michigan has adopted a new sign law while a judge has declared another's unconstitutional.
"Total Censorship" were the words of District Court Judge Joseph Skocelas used to describe the city of Saugatuck's sign laws.The city had cited one man who put up a 29-foot-wide sign in his front lawn made of several smaller signs. It criticized the Saugatuck's zoning laws because he had been forced to remove a second-story awning that the city said violated the Historic nature of Saugatuck.
City officials may appeal the ruling. Meantime, the Holland city council has agreed to allow the new mural on the wall of Escape Ministries, an organization that helps at-risk kids.A neighbor had complained the colorful mural, which includes the word "Escape", was graffiti.
Holland's new sign laws will allow such murals, but only as long as city officials believe it to be "art".

Yoko Ono says still getting over Lennon's death
By Birna Bjornsdottir
REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - Artist and musician Yoko Ono said on Friday she was still getting over the death of her husband John Lennon, who was gunned down in New York nearly 30 years ago.
Speaking ahead of what would have been the ex-Beatle's 70th birthday on Saturday, Ono, 77, was in Iceland for the re-lighting of the Imagine Peace Tower that she created in memory of one of the world's must influential songwriters.
"Well, it was very hard because it was a sudden thing that happened, he wasn't ill for a long time or anything, it's just, we were talking before that you know, and, it was very hard," she told Reuters, recalling the moment Lennon was shot outside his apartment building in New York on December 8, 1980.
"I think I am getting over it in a kind of way, in my own unique way, but it's still lingering," she added.
The Imagine Peace Tower, consisting of searchlights reflected upward high into the sky, is located near Reykjavik in Iceland, and was unveiled in 2007 by Ono to symbolize wisdom, healing and joy.
The event in Reykjavik is one of several being organized around the world to mark the anniversary on October 9. Internet search site Google paid tribute to Lennon with a hand-drawn logo and mini-video based on his hit "Imagine".
"It's very interesting, you know, that songs like 'Gimme Some Truth' mean a lot now, and of course 'Give Peace a Chance'. ... 'Imagine'. All his political songs really have a lot of meaning right now for people," Ono said on Friday.
Before earning acclaim as a solo artist after The Beatles broke up in 1970, Lennon was also part of one of the 20th century's most successful songwriting partnerships alongside Paul McCartney. Continued...

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Elizabeth GettelmanMay 12, 2010 7:00 AM
For a special section in our May/June issue, we asked some of our favorite writers about their favorite nonfiction books. Here are author and New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean's answers:
Mother Jones: Which nonfiction book do you foist upon all of your friends and relatives? Why?
Susan Orlean: The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright. A vivid, brilliant explanation of the world we now live in, with regards to Islamic fundamentalism, and a great read, thanks to Wright's extraordinary reporting and storytelling. Not a cheerful book, but a brilliant one.
MJ: Which nonfiction book have you reread the most times? What's so good about it?
SO: The White Album by Joan Didion. Everything about it is perfect—the writing, the thinking, the way it captured a moment in American culture.
MJ: Is there a nonfiction book that someone recommended to you when were a kid that has left a lasting impression? Who recommended it, and why was it so special?
SO: Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. My brother recommended it to me, and it changed everything for me: I had never read nonfiction that leaped off the page, never read anything that evoked a time and subculture with the same vividness. I couldn't put it down, literally: I think I carried a copy with me for a year, and read it repeatedly, and dreamed of writing a book like it someday.
MJ: What's the most underrated book you've ever read, the gem of hidden gems?
SO: Hmm. Fiction? I'd say anything by Sebastian Barry—not that he's underrated, but he hasn't gotten the fame I would expect, given his incredible talent. As for nonfiction...not enough people read Joseph Mitchell anymore, although he is also not underrated; just not quite as acclaimed by the general public as I wish he were. I honestly can't think of anything else at the moment but I'm not near a bookshelf so I'm relying on faulty memory, I'm afraid.
Michael MechanicMay 11, 2010 7:00 AM
For a special section in our May/June issue, we asked some of our favorite writers about their favorite nonfiction books. Here are Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon's answers:
Mother Jones: What nonfiction book do you foist on friends and relatives? Explain.
Michael Chabon: I don't do a lot of foisting, because when it comes to books I don't really like to be foisted upon. But I'm always happy to find somebody else who loves the work of Lewis Hyde (Trickster Makes This World, The Gift) as much as I do. And I think I've been talking about Slavoj Zizek a little too much lately.
MJ: The work of nonfiction you've reread the most?
MC: I guess it would be Walter Benjamin's Illuminations, particularly the essays "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," "The Storyteller," and especially the "Theses on the Philosophy of History," which every time I finish it feels as if it was made out of something more evanescent than words. Also a continual rereader of John Clute's Encyclopedia of Fantasy—actually a single, immense, thrilling work of literary theory disguised as a reference book.
MJ: Nonfiction book someone gave you as a kid that left a lasting impression?
MC: That would be The Miracle of Language (Fawcett World Library, 1953), an obscure paperback history of language to be found on the TV-room shelf at my grandparents' house in Silver Spring, Maryland; clear and well-written and fascinating. I used to read it so often when I visited that eventually he gave it to me, in 1985, with the penciled inscription: "To Mike—A budding writer should know the tools of his trade. Grandpa."
MJ: As an enthusiast of the comic form, which graphic novelists make you salivate as you await their next book?
MC: Big fan of the Brits: Eddie Campbell, Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison. Open the door to include them along with Amis, McEwen, Rushdie, Moorcock, Byatt, Zadie Smith, David Mitchell, et al, and I think you could argue that over the past 20 years British literature has been going through one of the most vital and interesting periods in its history.
MJ: Whose nonfiction work do you find is more out there than your own fictional creations?
MC: Oh, no. Not going to get me to accept the premise of that one.
MJ: If I said, here's a million bucks, write me some long-form nonfiction, what would you first think to write about?
MC: The false history of baseball (Doubleday, Cooperstown), the real history of baseball (town ball, Cartwright), all the colorful characters and hucksters and autocrats and players of which they're both composed, and how the interplay of the deliberate lie and the obscured truth is so emblematic of American historiography in general.

Last month Mother Jones spoke with Lloyd Marcus, the black Tea Party musician who's come to enjoy rock-star status at Tea Party rallies, thanks to hits like "Twenty Ten" and "We the People." We had a nice conversation, but one thing I somehow neglected to ask him was whether he had any plans, in the near future, to put together a charity album modeled on 1980s pop ballads like "We Are the World" and "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Now we have our answer:
In an event that's one part "American Idol" audition and one part "We Are The World" recording session, conservative singer-songwriter Lloyd Marcus is planning to bring together the musical voices of Tea Partiers from across the country to sing the movement's unofficial anthem, "Take Back America," on a charity album to benefit the families of soldiers.
In an event that's one part "American Idol" audition and one part "We Are The World" recording session, conservative singer-songwriter Lloyd Marcus is planning to bring together the musical voices of Tea Partiers from across the country to sing the movement's unofficial anthem, "Take Back America," on a charity album to benefit the families of soldiers.
Marcus says he's hoping to get big shots like SNL star Victoria Jackson and Time contributor Ted Nugent on board, which, if Nugent and Jackson's recent appearances are any indication, should turn out swimmingly. But this is mostly about the little guys, like the mostly unknown artists we featured here back in March.
Anyway, because it's Monday, here's a clip of Michael Jackson and Tipper Gore singing "We Are the World" together on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Simpler times:

ClintJCL is obsessed with gathering data. Personal data. He catalogues every TV series he watches, and every movie. He posts a lot on Flickr. He blogs. He compiles monthly summaries of all of his activities. And, for the past decade, he has meticulously documented his listening habits—down to the song—and charted them.
"I like to be able to reflect back on what I did," Clint explains via email. "Do most people know what they were listening to in 1982? Nope, and I don't either. But I can at least change that, moving forward, by generating one of these each year." (By one of these, he means one of these oddly bulbous listening charts: You can see the blown-up version here.)
ClintJCL won't tell me his actual last name, which is kinda incongruous, given how much he advertises about himself online. (As of last night, if you'd googled him, you'd have gotten 22,200 hits.) I know, for instance, that Clint is a 36-year-old born on January 13, 1974 (during the Super Bowl). I know the names and birth dates of his parents and his sister, Britt. I know that he leans libertarian, and that he met his wife, Carolyn, on a pre-Internet computer bulletin board service—even though they went to the same high school. I also know that Clint is 5-foot-9, 150 lbs, with hazel eyes and frizzy brown hair—and that he hails from Woodbridge, Virginia. Then again, this could all be an elaborate hoax; for all I really know, Clint is a very clever 15-year-old girl from Seattle.

Kiera ButlerMay 10, 2010 7:00 AM
For a special section in our May/June issue, we asked some of our favorite writers about their favorite nonfiction books, and over the next few weeks I'll be posting their answers right here on the Riff. Let's start with New York Times op-ed columnist Frank Rich:
Frank Rich: Smiling Through the Apocalypse: Esquire's History of the Sixties, edited by Harold Hayes. Here in one brick of an anthology are some of the best pieces by the writers who brought American journalism and essay-writing into the modern age with great prose, narrative drive, hard-edged attitude as well as tireless reporting. Includes not only the enduring stars (Talese, Wolfe, Mailer, Baldwin, Lukas, Wills, Vidal, Wicker, Herr) but also some gems by the lesser known but equally gifted Jack Richardson and John Sack, among others. Collectively, the pieces also capture a much misunderstood, much sentimentalized decade as it unfolded. (Only conspicuous omissions—they weren't contributors to Esquire—Joan Didion and Hunter Thompson).
MJ: Which nonfiction book have you reread the most times? What's so good about it?
FR: Act One by Moss Hart. My favorite American memoir—about the early years and apprenticeship of the Broadway playwright and director. It's at once a suspenseful Horatio Alger story, a vivid evocation of 1920's New York (from the poorest immigrant tenements uptown to the glittery heights of golden-age Times Square) and a timeless account of how a young man with few resources but a passion for art employs every ounce of his being to escape a childhood blighted by poverty and bitter family dynamics.
MJ: Is there a nonfiction book that someone recommended to you when you were a kid that has left a lasting impression? Who recommended it, and why was it so special?
FR: Act One (see above), and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Both recommended by my mother, an avid reader and schoolteacher. To wait ravenously for the mailman to deliver Capote's then-shocking "nonfiction novel" week by week as it was serialized in The New Yorker was a seminal reading experience—a glimmer, I imagine, of what it must have been like to devour Dickens in installments in another age.
Mac McClellandMay 3, 2010 7:30 AM
I don't want to fight with YouTube. My relationship with YouTube has been one of the more fulfilling and reliable ones in my life. Hence my deep disappointment that it not only buried (rather than deleted, as originally reported) MIA's "Born Free" video—in which American-flag-wearing troops embark on the rounding up, detaining, and killing of redheads—but couldn't come up with some better excuse for doing so than the video's "gratuitous violence."
The clip reminds the Prospect's Silvana Naguib of Arabs being rounded up and caged in The Siege. It reminds me of the scene in Rambo part four where Burmese soldiers toss Claymores into a rice paddy and force ethnic Karen civilians to run through it at gunpoint. Of course, it also evokes images of real US military activities that, as pointed out in MTV's rave review, we'd rather "pretend don't happen." YouTube's PR machine could have at least admitted that the censorship was political rather than hiding behind the pretense of how, though Americans have the right to watch stuff like this, YouTube has an obligation to protect the children. Because while it's true that MIA's video is awfully disturbing, and shouldn't be available to children, you can easily find lots of stuff like this on YouTube (see below), where, for example, Rambo IV is available in its entirety. Is YouTube's gratuitous-violence policy nullified in the event that the clip doesn't question US aggression, or the bad guys are dark and slanty-eyed rather than corn-fed WASPS?

Flying Lotus
From its jarring, video-gamey first 10 seconds (which transition into lovely harp music driven by clickity electronic beats and buzzing atmospheric sounds, for a distinct opening track just over a minute long) to the sampled table-tennis game of its penultimate ditty, every moment of this experimental effort from producer and laptop musician Flying Lotus smacks of the weird, the wondrous, and the well-collaged.
Unquestionably psychedelic (FlyLo and friends took over Dublab Studios in Los Angeles on April 20th to produce a tripped-out radio special), the LP is a sprawling, visionary landscape of dreamy strings, cartoonish synthesis, the occasional scissored-up Thom Yorke vocal, and much, much more. It's quite a tangled thicket, and all the more delightfully ensnarling for it.
FlyLo, who is responsible for a lot of the bumper music during Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, already demonstrated a virtuosic talent for divergent musical tinkering with 1983 and Los Angeles. Cosmogramma, a work of high style and innovation, shows him continuing to push his sound into otherworldly, wildly imaginative territory.

For as long as anyone can remember, congregations have played a vital role in nurturing the spirit of the community. Aside from being a source for spiritual grounding, congregations also provide social ministries to address the needs of the community. Over time, these social ministries have developed into more formal and professional faith-based programs and organizations, which often function independently from those offered by their founding congregations. Such national organizations as Catholic Charities, Young Men's Christian Association and the United Jewish Federation, and such local organizations as Holy Family Institute, Pittsburgh Project, the Jewish Community Center and East End Cooperative Ministries, have emerged from congregations as ways to respond to the social needs of the community. While faith-based organizations (FBOs) have played important roles in their communities for many years, the issue of public funding for their efforts has become the subject of extensive public debate relatively recently. The current national dialogue can be traced back to 1996 and the Clinton administration's support for changes to what has been called "charitable choice" legislation: making federal contracts more readily available to support the work of congregations and FBOs. Subsequently, in 2001, the Bush administration established the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives as a way to further address the needs of FBOs. Despite the great variety of beliefs represented by FBOs, they share some important characteristics: a broad commitment to community; support for spiritual growth and social justice; and a willingness to serve in areas of great need. These characteristics were confirmed by a recent survey of incorporated 501(c)(3) faith-based organizations carried out by a team of researchers led by Dr. Kevin Kearns, Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. For example, the team found that when compared to their secular counterparts, FBOs benefit from much higher levels of commitment from volunteers, and this commitment does not abate as the organizations grow larger and gain more professional staff. In recent years, government at all levels has come to rely on FBOs to deliver services to populations in need. Annually, FBOs in the United States provide more than $15 billion in social and human services, serving approximately 70 million persons. In some communities, government contracts with FBOs have increased more than 500% within the last two years. In 2002, the Hudson Institute released a study that examined government contracting with FBOs in fifteen states. Their report cited 726 examples of government contracting with FBOs, totaling almost $125 million. (Nine states were studied in the year 2000 and an additional six in 2002.)This study also found that government contracting with FBOs in eight of nine originally surveyed states increased substantially, from over $7.5 million in 2000 to over $88 million in 2002.

Makan - Trapped.Mature
How long had I been here? I couldn't tell. Days had drifted into weeks, weeks into months. I cursed loudly at myself, how could I of been so stupid? I'd done the necessary research, gotten all the things I'd needed to start a new life. I'd learnt about Norway, how it was the safest country in the world, the country with the highest quality of life, the country with beautiful surroundings that would be sure to aid my flourishing photography career. Without a second thought I'd packed my bags, said goodbye to my friends and set off to explore the antique city of Bergen. I'd settled in quickly, learnt the essentials of the Norwegian language. I'd done everything that the guidebook had said; yet I'd still managed to put myself into this ridiculous situation.
In Germany I'd been a calm person. I had always calculated everything, cut everything down into small chunks, analysed things. But in Norway I'd been rash, I'd been lulled into a false sense of security and I'd gone out hiking in the desolate Norwegian hills, alone.
Now I was stuck, stuck in this pitch-black room with nothing but a small 80s looking television to keep me company.
I dropped to my knees, rubbing my hands along the ground, using my palms to search out the long piece of rock I'd been sharpening for the past few days. Maybe today would be the day I could use it to draw my thoughts onto the walls. I felt the sharp prick of the jagged edge scratch against my finger. Grinning to myself I picked it up and began scraping it on the wall, I felt it dig into the stone. Finally it was ready. Gently I started sketching out the basic details of Oleah, a girl I hadn't seen since my days in Norway. I tried to draw her defining features; her slightly slanted nose, her arched eyebrows, and her beautiful eyes that any sane man would drown in…
Feelings of love and longing washed over me, overpowered my senses and brought the harsh sting of tears to my eyes. I crumbled to the ground, letting the stone roll away from me. It bounced against the wall then came to a stop next to my feet.
I forgot my 'manly pride,' forgot about all my dad had ever taught me about never showing my emotions. I forgot that anyone could walk in at any moment and see me emotionally exposing myself. I dropped my aching head into my hands, and began gently sobbing for the first time in my life.
