Chapter 6: Maple Squares
Winter was coming and going without much fuss in Ecclesia. Christmas was a flurry of peppermint ice cream and mugs of hot chocolate with too much whipped cream. New Year's Eve was bitterly cold, and the fireworks were enjoyed by a majority of villagers from inside their homes. Valentine's Day was fast approaching now, and Isabelle kept Scarlett very busy running small errands around town to keep her mind at bay.
"Don't worry about it," Isabelle said with a smile and an encouraging push out the door. Scarlett tried to reason with her.
"Come on, Izzy, there's tons of work to do and you haven't let me do any of it for the last week!"
Isabelle closed the door just enough so that only her face fit through. "Please, Mayor? I just need one more pail and it should be enough," she said decisively, shutting the door.
Scarlett turned around, an empty bucket and gloves in one hand, a warm Styrofoam coffee cup in the other. She sighed and pulled on her warm gloves and started towards the town plaza. She passed budding holly bushes and leafless trees, their quiet branches frosted over at the tips.
The town tree stood looming over the gray cobblestones, leafless and ominous. Large roots sprawled away from the base, pressing into red brick planting box around it; cracking through the brickwork and mortar and causing chunks to crumble onto the stones around it. The overgrown tree was riddled with vines that crawled up its trunk, scavenging and thriving on the moisture from dripping snow melt.
Scarlett looked up at the tall tree in awe. The beautifully scarred bark was stripped in some places, forced away from the trunk due to freeze and thaw, and others were carved with initials and hearts. She took a drink from her coffee and exhaled deeply.
"What's the matter, Mayor?"
She jumped, nearly spilling some of her drink down the front of her sweater. She turned around and met with a new, smiling face. "Um, hi there," she tried to sound polite, coming off confused.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, hi, my name is Coco," she said apologetically, picking up on Scarlett's confusion. "I, uh, bought a house here a month or so ago. I actually just finished moving in this last weekend."
"Hi, Coco," Scarlett smiled sheepishly, recalling Isabelle telling her about the new resident. She extended her hand. "Please, call me Scarlett. You moved in beside Whitney, didn't you? I'm glad you've finally gotten yourself settled in."
"Thanks," she said, returning the handshake. "Yeah, that's where I'm at. The cliff looks out over the ocean, I think it's beautiful."
"It's a nice location, yeah," Scarlett replied. Though the neighbor might cause some trouble, she thought to herself.
"Though Whitney hasn't exactly been so welcoming," Coco added, rubbing the back of her head nervously.
Scarlett took a sip of her coffee and giggled over the rim. "She wasn't so nice to me when I first got here either. She'll warm up to you. I feel like she's finally warming up to me, and I've been here quite a while now."
"I really hope you're right," she said.
Scarlett stood for a moment in silence, thinking about Whitney's softening attitude toward her, before finally stating: "Well, I should go. I have to run an errand for Isabelle. You have met her, right?"
"Yes, I have. Shouldn't she be running errands for you?"
"She's got something special planned. I won't question it."
"Well, have a nice day May- erm, Scarlett!"
"You too, Coco."
Coco skipped away from the plaza and down the frozen dirt path, whistling as she went. Scarlett shielded her eyes from the rising mid-morning sun and looked off in the direction she'd gone, towards the police station. Booker, Ecclesia's reliable hand of action, stood outside the station and saluted Coco as she passed.
Scarlett smiled and leaned over the planted box, lifting a bucket half-full of sap off of the spigot sticking out of the rough trunk. The sap was nearly solid in the cold weather, and hardly moved as she dropped the bucket on the ground and slung the empty bucket over the slowly dripping tap and adjusted it to catch the drop of sap that fell from the tip. The warmer days and cooler nights of early February were allowing the sap to flow quicker than before. It had taken since early September to produce that half-full bucket.
"I hope this is enough," she said to herself, taking up the sap bucket and heading back towards town hall at a quickened pace. A biting wind followed her trail.
Isabelle met with her outside the heaven wooden door, grinning excitedly. "Oh! Perfect," she said, taking the bucket from Scarlett. "This should be enough."
"What are you making, Isabelle?" Scarlett prodded, having not yet been told of her secretary's plans. Isabelle was an excellent cook, and her baked goods were succulent enough to melt even before they reached your tongue. Scarlett thought back to the warm chocolate heart she'd been sent for her birthday, freshly made and still gooey in the center.
"I'm actually done with the first batch, would you like one?" Izzy asked, pulling the large door open with some effort and holding it for Scarlett. She led the two of them inside, and pulled a tray of pre-cut baked squares out of the small oven she'd insisted on installing in the office.
"Maple pecan squares!" Izzy exclaimed, watching the glistening syrup sparkle and bubble around the sprinkled-on ground nuts. "They're like coffee cake, only better!"
Scarlett took one off of the tray, blew over the steaming syrup, and nibbled the corner. "This is delicious, Isabelle," she said through her food.
"Happy Valentine's Day," Scarlett said, hugging her secretary tightly.
Isabelle beamed. "Happy Valentine's Day."

Canadian dollar higher for second straight week
By Frank Pingue
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar rose for the second straight week against the U.S. currency on Friday, but a bout of profit-taking yanked it back from the five-week high it hit earlier in the session.
Domestic bond prices, with no Canadian data to digest until later next week, followed the U.S. market to a higher close as recent data upped the possibility for a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut next month.
The Canadian dollar closed at US$1.0198, valuing each U.S. dollar at 98.05 Canadian cents, up from Thursday's close of US$1.0183, or 98.20 Canadian cents per U.S. dollar.
Early in the session the Canadian dollar hit US$1.0250, which marked its highest level since November 20 and gave it a gain of about 4.8 percent over the past two weeks.
But the currency spent most of the last half of the North American session moving lower as traders pocketed a portion of the recent gains ahead of the weekend.
"I think obviously momentum is absent over the holiday period," said Gareth Sylvester, senior currency strategist at HIFX Plc in San Francisco.
"It's just really a case of some short-term positions being closed and a bit of profit-taking ahead of the broken start to the first week of January."
Monday is the last trading day of 2007 as financial markets will close Tuesday for New Year's Day and reopen on Wednesday. Continued...

Brandon: time out
after i danced with jade for a bit, she was amazing dancer by the way, i got myself a drink and noticed Kayden sitting by herself.
i walked over and sat on her.
"Brandon! get off you fatboy!" she shouted, i laughed and slid off her and on to the seat beside her.
"tired?" i asked her. she nodded. "me too... time for a time out me thinks" i gestured to my cigarette packet but she smiled. i noticed she kept looking at Aysh.
Do you like Aysh then? i thought.
kayden blushed and looked away. i put my arm around her and pulled her into a hug.
i know you can hear me i thought i think you like her dont you?
she avoided my eyes so i pulled her closer and whispered in her ear.
"if you like her or dont, i suppose its none of my business, just know that if you need to talk babe, im here" i kissed her forehead and got up to go refill my glass.

Oil prices have spiraled lower on Friday, sending stock markets down to record lows for the second time in the New Year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed almost 160 points Friday morning and the Nasdaq composite fell to its lowest level since August, when China's unusual government interventions in its stock market and currency caused a global market freefall.
The Dow Jones fell 0.97% just after the opening bell, the S&P 500 fell 1.27% and the Nasdaq was the hardest hit, down 3.17%. By 10am Eastern Time, the S&P 500 was trading lower by 2.5%, according to Yahoo Finance.
Meanwhile brent oil prices are down 5%, falling beneath the $30 per barrel mark, on the back of fears that Iranian oil would add to the global oversupply. Crude oil prices are also at a 12-year low.
Julian Jessop at Capital Economics said oil is still being produced because longer-dated oil futures prices are still well above the cost of production for many oil producers, This means there could be further price falls in the near term to around $20 a barrel but probably not as far as the $10 level as some analysts have forecast.
Investors were also nervous due to indications that China will report its weakest full-year growth figure in 25 years on Tuesday.
At the Republican debate Thursday night, Ohio Governor John Kasich was asked how he would deal with the fact that trillions of dollars - over $3.2 trillion - in value have already been wiped off global stock markets so far this year, and he responded with the need to support small businesses in the US.
Market watch reported that economic data releases on Friday were "less than robust".
Sales at US retailers fell slightly in December, and a reading of New York-area manufacturing conditions in January fell sharply, raising questions about the outlook for the economy.
US markets will be closed on Monday for Martin Luther King day.

Chittagong, Oct 19: England will be without their premier fast bowler James Anderson for the first Test against India in Rajkot next month, captain Alastair Cook confirmed today (October 19).
Ind-Eng series schedule; DRS for Ind-Eng Tests?
In November, England will tour India for 5 Tests, 3 One Day Internationals and 3 Twenty20 Internationals. The first Test is in Rajkot from November 9.
The 34-year-old Anderson is recovering from a shoulder injury. He is out of the Bangladesh tour too due to a stress fracture in his left shoulder. England play 2 Tests against Bangladesh with the opener starting tomorrow (October 20) in Chittagong.
Speaking to the media today (October 19) in Chittagong, Cook said Anderson will not be fit to play the first Test against India.
"I don't think he will be there (India) for the start. He might come out to do some training but he will not be ready to play in the first Test," said Cook. "I spoke to him last night. He has been doing a lot of training and is in good shape physically. The decision is going to be made over the next week on that (when he goes to India)," Cook was quoted as saying in "The Telegraph".
With 463 wickets in 119 Tests, Anderson is England's highest wicket-taker in the five-day format.

Business owners and leaders are bound to make mistakes. While many mistakes have trivial consequences, others can be systemic, go unnoticed and become absolutely fatal to a company's success. Here are three of the most deadly mistakes–if you recognize any of these in your business, you should take immediate corrective action.
Mistake 1 – Compensating your salespeople based on revenue
We all know the phrase, "Compensation drives behavior." Companies that compensate their salespeople based on revenue find themselves under constant downward pricing pressure. Salespeople will focus on driving revenue only, and will get the deal, regardless of price. Worst of all, they will respond to customer objections with offers of greater discounts. They will spend more time trying to convince management that they need more discounts and less time reinforcing the value the product delivers and defending its price to the customer.
If you recognize this in your business, your revenues are probably OK, but your profits may suffer. Your business has been commoditized and your salespeople have lost the skills and training they might once have had to sell your products on value, defend your pricing and contribute to the profits of your company.
Mistake 2 – Believing all that your customers tell you
Whenever your salespeople, marketing representatives, or executives interact with your customers, the customers have one overriding agenda–to make sure that they get the best deal possible the next time they buy from you. This means they will say whatever it takes to get a lower price, more for their money, longer payment terms, free included services, or other bargains.
If you believe everything your customers say, you will include more options and features with your product than you really must; your costs will increase and your profits will suffer. You'll also end up pricing your delivered product too low.
Mistake 3 – Using simplistic pricing models
Most companies take their costs and mark the price of the product up by some percentage. Or, just as bad, they base pricing on their gut feeling or some competitor's price list. This is a de facto guarantee that you will end up with the wrong price. If it's too high for some segments or your market, sales volume will suffer. If it's too low for other segments, you won't make as much profit as you could. Or worse, you'll price even lower and lose both sales volume and maximum profit potential!
Have you noticed that 12 ounces of soda has different prices depending on where you are? Going from lowest to highest, there's a supermarket price, convenience store price, fast-food price, restaurant price, and movie/theme park price. These price decisions have a rationale behind them. What's the rationale behind your prices? There are proven methods to find out exactly what customers are actually willing to pay, and what will make them pay more. These methods are based on decision-behavior simulations through market research. Such research isn't free, but the payback often comes just a month or two after making the changes.
If your company is making any of these three sales mistakes, you can make needed corrections by replacing gut feeling with process, analytics, price management–and finally–hard data about what your customers really want, and how much they are really willing to pay. Then you need to train your salespeople to defend your product and pricing, and close the deal without discounting. Instituting such a process will lead to quick paybacks.

I am pretty sure we all struggle (yes, I include myself here) to build a big list of newsletter subscribers. No matter how many subscribers you have, you will always want more.
Even though you offer a great incentive (I am giving away a 150 page book teaching you how to become a rockin' affiliate), it still doesn't mean you are going to get that e-mail.
Why is it so hard to build an e-mail list?
Because people are sick and tired of receiving all the hard selling e-mails from those old school affiliate marketers and are now guarding their e-mails better than ever.
However, as long as people are reading your blog and trust you, you can get them to subscribe. All you need to do is keep reminding them until they do! Here is one of the ways I remind people to sign up for my newsletter.
This is what you see if you scroll down, to the bottom of a post on this blog and look at the comment area:
I remind you to subscribe to my newsletter while you are commenting. I did this by using the coolest plugin I have ever seen – WP Subscribers.
List building the simple way
I know this will look way too easy, but that is exactly the point. These are the settings I had to go through to set the comment opt-in form (took me about 30 seconds):
Now every time someone comments on this blog, unless he/she unchecks the box, they will be added to my list.
Well, fortunately, not automatically (which is a good thing, because you don't want to be marked as spammer). The commenters still have to confirm the subscription – which brings me to the most important part of this list building strategy.
You know you can not just add people to your list without them agreeing to it, right?
Here are the reasons I see this as a great list building strategy:
- The checkbox is visible, not hidden, and it tells you exactly what it does (subscribes you to my newsletter).
- Even if you miss unchecking it because you are "checkbox blind", but you don't want to receive my newsletter, you are still not added to my list.
- What will happen? You will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your e-mail to be added to my list.
- If you don't confirm it – no harm done. You won't be added to a list involuntarily.
- If you do confirm it – you are added to my list, you got the great incentive I send you and you keep receiving e-mails from me.
- The most important – I reminded you to subscribe and the strategy worked!
Why WPSubscribers and not some other list building plugin?
As far as the comment opt-in part of the plugin goes (and it has many, many more options) I know there are others that have the same stuff.
However, one of the plugins I looked at (with only comment opt-in and a pop up) costs as much as the whole WPSubscribers.
But here is what you will get with WP Subscribers:
- pop ups
- header opt-ins
- footer opt-ins (you can see it on this blog)
- sidebar opt-ins
- in post opt-ins
- exit pop ups
- Facebook integration (you can see it in the footer opt-in on this blog)
- comment opt-in
- Where-ever-you-can-imagine-one opt-in
- referral program
Note: if you are subscribed already, you can not see the footer. So here is a screenshot of what people who aren't subscribed see (this is my styling, you can create the form to look any way you want):
I definitely recommend this plugin as the number 1 tool if you want to build a list through your WordPress blog.
As you can see, I believe in this plugin so much that it is the only ad I have in the blog header. I am that confident in guaranteeing for it.
It is good to know that this plugin integrates really easy with Aweber, my preferred list building service.
Important note: If you are using Livefyre, you will not be able to use this comment opt-in feature. At least not for now :)
Are you using this plugin already? If not and you are considering purchasing it, I will not be mad if you do it through my affiliate links.

Eurozone debt hits a record
According to the Monday release from the EU's official statistics agency, Eurostat, the debt burden in the 17 eurozone member countries that use the euro hit an all-time high at the end of the first quarter of the year, according to official figures released on Monday. Government debt as a proportion of the area's GDP hit a record 92.2 percent, up from 90.6 percent in the previous quarter and 88.2 percent a year ago.
Greece (160.5% of GDP), Italy (130.3% of GDP) and Portugal (127.2% of GDP) are the leaders of the debt rating. Only two of the 17 euro-zone countries, Germany and Estonia, reported falling levels of debt as a proportion of their economy.

Hailey dosed off around half twelve o'clock, her head lolling between the headrest and the cold, breath-smeared window. Her slumber was shallow, as she attempted to keep a grip on the strap of her canvas satchel at the same time, and she soon frowned herself into unconsciousness at a dull yet all-consuming ache near her left jaw.
"Ugh," she breathed inaudibly, flicking her tongue against her inflamed gum, where the flat edge of a new molar was cutting through like a relentless powerdrill from inside her skull. Hailey knew nothing about wisdom teeth, except that most people got them extracted. She'd ask one of her aunts about it later, after the burials and after she had shaken a sufficient number of strangers' hands.
She glanced over at the old lady, who was talking on a mobile phone - one of those jack-knife ones with the huge screen and collosal buttons, designed for the old, the visually impaired, and (Hailey could only assume) those with fatter-than-average fingertips.
I wonder if she's had her wisdom teeth out.
Hailey pursed her lips in thought. I wonder if she still has any of her adult teeth.
Curiously, Hailey realised a new passenger had taken the seat next to her. Immediately taken back by his height, and the black and red beanie that hugged his head, she studied him briefly out of the corner of her eye. His shoulders were broad, yet slightly hunched, and he cradled an old-fashioned MP3 player in his lap. A thin white cord led from the music player to his ears, which were tucked away under the thick wool of his cap.
God, he smells amazing. Kind of citrus-y.
He caught her eye, barely turning his head, and Hailey whipped her head back around to gaze out of the fogged-up window.
Hailey, you idiot. No sexual lemon-scented fantasies; just focus on the fucking tooth instead.

The Red Sox had one of their biggest offseasons in franchise history last year, acquiring Adrian Gonzalez from the San Diego Padres and signing Carl Crawford to a massive contract. But in terms of importance, this offseason could trump it.
The Sox are coming off one of the worst late-season collapses in baseball history, Theo Epstein and Terry Francona have moved on and rumors regarding the team's clubhouse conduct are running rampant.
Reports have indicated that Ben Cherington will take over as the Red Sox' general manager, as Epstein has resigned from his position in order to become the Chicago Cubs' president of baseball operations. If and when Cherington takes over, he'll have a long list of things to do before Opening Day.
First of all, the fallout from the team's September collapse hasn't slowed up. It's still fresh in the minds of the fans, the players and the media. The Red Sox' next GM will be expected to do what's necessary to clean up the mess, most of which stems from that historic collapse.
Only those within the organization know the true state of the team in terms of chemistry, but Francona did indicate that the team didn't come together down the stretch as much as he had hoped. Epstein's successor will be expected to shore up the team's chemistry, while also providing a manager that can maintain it and build upon it.
And there's still questions to be answered in terms of the actual on-field product for next season. David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon, Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield are among the players who are free agents. The new GM will have to decide who to bring back and who to pursue on the open-market, where the Red Sox are usually pretty active.
There's also been reports regarding John Lackey's future. He's still under contract for the next three years, but there's been rumors that the San Diego Padres could be interested in his services. The team's new general manager will have to decide whether to eat most of the hurler's contract and move on or hope for a bounce-back campaign from the right-hander.
What is the next Red Sox general manager's biggest issue to address this offseason?

"The Dhamma can appear complex and difficult when we over-think it. Insight, however, penetrates to a clarity and simplicity deeper than mere thinking. Here, Venerable Ajahn Buddhadasa does just that with an incisive examination of happiness as it relates to hunger. As always, he cuts to the heart of the matter and does not settle for comforting consolations. Rather, he challenges us to examine assumptions and to question our usual ego beliefs. In a world that feeds on our hunger and suffering, he asks if we truly wish to be happy. Is this aspiration strong enough for us to stop settling for bogus goods? This talk was originally given during an international retreat at Suan Mokkh and has appeared in various forms. (...)"

Author has written 10 stories for JAG, Stargate: SG-1, NCIS, and CSI: Miami.
Hi. I am trying to write for new fandoms now. I used to write ST:Enterprise stories (when the show was good) which you can find under the author mochachill http://www.fanfiction.net/~mochachill In my attempts to branch out I decided to register under my normal screen name. Yada yada. So, on with the stories...
Because I always forget the disclaimer in my fic, here goes:
I do not own nor make any money off any of the shows I write fan fiction for. Please do not sue.

I've gathered a list of 11 points of interest having to do with Saudi Arabia and 9/11.
I want to preface this by saying that I do NOT advocate war against Saudi Arabia. I believe individuals responsible should be held accountable and not entire countries. Otherwise, you will see 1,000's upon 1,000's of innocents murdered for a crime they didn't commit, like we've seen in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. I want to make this information available to people because I do NOT think the corporate media is going to do so.
My list goes as follows:
1. In late January 2001, after the elections, intelligence agencies are told to "back off" from investigating the bin Ladens and the Saudi Royals. Reporter Greg Palast notes that President Clinton was already hindering investigations by protecting Saudi interests. However, as he puts it, "Where Clinton said, 'Go slow,' Bush policymakers said, 'No go.' The difference is between closing one eye and closing them both."
2. The famous Jersey Girls released a petition in 2006 calling for the release of those 28 redacted pages from the Joint Congressional Inquiry, as well as other pertinent information. They managed to collect over 17,000 signatures. The media ignored them, and so did our Government.
3. The 28 redacted pages is just the tip of the iceberg. The 9/11 Commission has yet to release all of their documents, and many of the Memorandums For The Record, or MFRs, that they have released are greatly redacted. An MFR that has not been released is that of former Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar.
Just so you know, an MFR is just an interview sheet that goes over what staffers spoke about with witnesses.
4. The two hijackers that former Senator Bob Graham mentions in San Diego were living with an FBI informant by the name of Abdussatar Shaikh. The FBI blocked him from testifying before the Joint Congressional Inquiry.
5. Between April 3-7, 2001, three hijackers are given visas to the United States through the US Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. They are Nawaf Alhazmi, Salem Alhazmi, and Khalid Almihdar. "Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi are already "al-Qaeda veterans and battle-hardened killers." "All three men have indicators in their passports marking them as Islamist radicals. These indicators are used to track them by the Saudi authorities, but are apparently not noticed by US officials." There are many other questions about how the hijackers obtained their visas. Look up Michael Springmann and the Visa Express Program.
6. According to Wikileaks in 2010, Saudi Arabia was still the "chief financiers" of Al-Qaeda, and it looks like that is still the case. We would be foolish to think this wasn't well known to the United States for years, and yet we still do business with them, and sell them billions of dollars in weapons.
7. According to James Risen's book, "State Of War," in March 2001, months before 9/11, Bush and Prince Bandar had a discussion where Bush tells Bandar that "if there is to be military action in Iraq, then it has to be decisive. That can finalize the issue. The Iraqi opposition is useless and not effective."
8. Those two hijackers in San Diego were seemingly protected by the CIA. You can read about it in Kevin Fenton's book, "Disconnecting The Dots," and in the further works by Ray Nowosielski, Rory O'Connor and John Duffy.
9. Prince Bandar, someone referred to as "Bandar Bush,"… his wife is connected to money of those two hijackers in San Diego. The 9/11 Report said that the source of the funding for the attacks was "of little practical significance." I think that's VERY significant don't you?
10. According to former New York Times Reporter Phil Shenon, the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, and Team Leader Dieter Snell took part in a late night editing session to delete any passages within the 9/11 Report having to do with Saudi Support for the hijackers."
11. In November 2007, Prince Bandar will make the claim that Saudi Intelligence was "actively following" most of the hijackers "with precision." There is a multitude of information out there that suggests the Bush Administration was well aware that the attacks were coming. Even though he says he didn't, personally I wonder if Bandar shared any of this information with anyone within the Bush Administration.
I would just like to say that I can't recommend enough the website www.historycommons.org and their "Complete 9/11 Timeline." The information I provided is just the beginning. The cover-up of Saudi Arabia is just one cover-up having to do with 9/11. There are many more.

The Londoner headed to Soho's Ham Yard hotel last night, where Red magazine held its annual Women of the Year Awards. Anti-FGM activist Leyla Hussein (pictured with her daughter Fey) was commended in the charity category and writer Caitlin Moran was among the guests.
The Londoner discussed words only used to describe women — such as "feisty" and "bolshie" — but broadcaster Kirsty Wark has her own bugbear. "There's one word that I find absolutely hilarious, and that's 'hectoring'," she told us. "It's only ever used against women. Years ago I had a spat with Michael Portillo when he used it. I purposely got it in my first book."Reuse content

Use more cayenne or even crushed red pepper if you like things hot or leave the hot stuff out entirely if you don't like things spicy. You could also substitute walnuts, pine nuts or even toasted macadamia nuts for the pecans.

Hugging increases levels of oxytocin, a hormone also called the "love hormone" since it releases those feelings of closeness and love between people. It also improves heart health and may lower blood pressure. According to one study, just a 10-sec hug a day can lower stress and risk of heart disease, boost your immune system, ease depression and energize you!
"We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth".
– Virginia Satir, Family Therapist
I remember reading that several years ago and jokingly telling my husband he better step it up because he was stunting my growth! Considering hugging a therapy that can improve health and wellness may sound like a stretch to you, but there is scientific evidence to back it up. And I am not just talking about psychologically, it benefits us physically as well.
Benefits Of Hugs
Hugging increases levels of oxytocin. This hormone is called the "love hormone" since it releases those feelings of closeness and love between people.
It also improves heart health and may lower blood pressure.
We know that babies who are not held and touched and cuddled can fail to thrive and can even die! What makes us think we outgrow this basic need?
My daughter is dating a young man, Chris, who is a hugger! The first time I met him he was picking her up for a date and when he saw me at the door, he jumped out of his car, ran up to the door, hugged me and then went back to open the door for her. He had me at that moment without saying a word!
My son and daughter-in-law bought him a t-shirt for Christmas that says "Free Hugs Here". I love that he hugs my husband and me every time he comes to the house. It is interesting to watch people's responses to being hugged.
My dad was never a physically affectionate person. I honestly do not ever remember him actually hugging me or kissing me. When he came to my house every Saturday I always kissed him hello and also when he left. It was funny to see him wait for me to come and kiss him, even though he would never initiate that.
Well when Chris met my dad, he hugged him – and boy was he uncomfortable! I could see the expression on his face. To him it was just strange, but I am happy that did not stop Chris. In fact, especially in these last few years, I tried to intentionally have physical contact with my dad – rubbing his back or arm or touching his leg when we sat together.
I knew that was important for his well-being even if he did not feel comfortable with it. According to one study just a 10-second hug a day can lower stress and risk of heart disease, boost your immune system, ease depression and energize you!
The great thing is that you get all those amazing health benefits without calories or very much effort; there are no negative side effects and the one giving the hug, benefits just as much as the one receiving it! It is a definite win-win in the best sense of the word. So my challenge to you is to find ways to increase your hug quota each day!

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Arpalert
Corporate policies prohibit the unauthorized connection of hardware to the company network, threatening dire consequences in the case of non-compliance. Fair enough, but how do you actually go about catching somebody trying to plug an illegal laptop into your Ethernet?
My choice for a faithful watchdog is Arpalert [1]. Arpalert creator Thierry Fournier recommends the following incantation to send the beast off into the wild: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make make install This series of commands puts the C program in /usr/local/sbin and the arpalert.conf configuration file in /usr/local/etc/arpalert. No Place Like Home For my initial experiments, I decided to use a network that gives me excellent visibility, such as the network in my home office. It's the weekend, and my wife has gone down to the local library, so I shouldn't have more than four of five computers on the network. I did the following to launch Arpalert: /usr/local/sbin/arpalert

Choosing the single best Australian album of 2014 out of 300 contenders is "a bit weird", says Jen Cloher, one of four newly appointed judges to the Australian Music Prize.
"Judging your peers is hard to get your head around but I think it's really important that artists are part of the process".
Cloher joined head judge Dave Faulkner, the Jezabels' Sam Lockwood, Tim "Urthboy" Levinson and 11 retail and media experts to shortlist albums by Chet Faker, CW Stoneking, Laura Jean and six other artists last week.
Their final meeting to pick the $30,000 prizewinner happens on the morning of March 4, and the announcement made at the AMP's 10th anniversary dinner in Sydney that night.

A Changing Mortgage Market in County
By PENNY SINGER
Published: July 1, 1990
THREE years ago, during the real estate boom, a professional couple in their 30's sold their ''starter'' house, a small two-bedroom in Harrison, for $150,000. By stretching their budget to the limits, they bought a three-bedroom split level in Rye for $295,000.
''We took an adjustable rate mortgage from the bank, with a special rate of 8 percent for the first year,'' said the husband, who asked that his name not be published. ''It looked like we were getting a good deal, but now we're paying the piper: every month we're falling further behind.''
Not only have their mortgage payments risen by about $5,000, but their real estate taxes have gone up, too. And they recently discovered that they needed a new furnace.
''We're stretched too thin now and I don't know what we're going to do,'' his wife said. ''We thought about sell ing. But the couple next door, whose house is almost identical to ours - it's a little nicer, actually - put their place up for sale three months ago but they've had very few lookers and no offers. The market is dead.''
Effort to Prevent Defaults
But few mortgage lenders will take steps to start foreclosure proceedings without exploring every alternative, said William J. Foley, vice president for public affairs at the New York League of Savings Institutions, a trade group based in Scarsdale.
''Banks are anxious to prevent defaults,'' Mr. Foley said. ''They don't want to have to take over residential real estate in this type of market.''
Delinquent loans in the fourth quarter of 1989, the latest period for which figures are available, were 4.3 percent of all loans. This compares with a delinquent loan rate of 2.8 in the fourth quarter of 1988.
Until about a year ago, Mr. Foley said, ''Westchester was a self-contained unit. Houses, especially expensive ones, were selling well. But now the county is more like the rest of the state. Loan demand is weak. Mortgage volume is half of what it was last year. And compared with 1987, a banner year, last year's figures were not good.''
Stricter Handling of Loans
Even competition for mortgage business, Mr. Foley said, is down: ''Regulators are requiring that lenders have heavier reserves. No one is making questionable loans today. And teaser rates, such as 7 or 8 percent for the first year, are pretty well a thing of the past.''
The prevailing rate today for a 15-year fixed-rate home mortgage in the county is 9.75, plus 2 1/2 points; for a 30-year mortgage, the rate is 9.875, plus 2 1/2 points.
In the wake of the savings and loan disaster, Mr. Foley said, the industry has become more heavily controlled.
But Richard Komosinski, president of the Yonkers Savings and Loan Bank, which has been in business for more than 100 years, said that well-run banks have always imposed strict loan requirements.
''Today, it's hard to stand up and say that you're a banker,'' he said. ''All the savings and loans are getting an undeserved bad press because of the activities of a few. When they deregulated the banking industry, the regulators didn't watch what was going on and a lot of questionable people entered the industry. Now all of us are paying, including the lending institutions. Our insurance premiums, for example, have risen from $195,000 a year to $245,000.''
Mr. Komosinski said his bank has had no foreclosures this year. ''Whenever we see someone falling behind, we bend over backward to work with them on a one-to-one basis,'' he explained.
A Way to Work Things Out
Yonkers Savings and Loan's four offices, all in Yonkers, make the majority of mortgage loans to neighborhood people.
''The people on our board are local,'' Mr. Komosinski said. ''They know our customers, we know our customers and we know that most of their financial difficulties are temporary, the type that are caused by a personal or family crisis. They are stable people. We don't want to push them into foreclosure; we prefer to help them find a way out by working with them.''
Michael R. Pulver, manager of the Sibley Mortgage Corporation in Elmsford, said his company began to experience an increasing demand for mortgages in mid-June.
''It was kind of unexpected,'' Mr. Pulver said, ''I think a lot of the activity was because of the decrease in interest rates. People seemed to sense it was going to be short-lived and took advantage of it.''
Unlike banks, Mr. Pulver explained, mortgage bankers offer nothing but first mortgage and home-equity loans. The funds for mortgage-bank lending come from not one, but several, private investors.
''Because we do mortgage financing and nothing else, we're able to offer a wide variety of mortgage options at very competitive rates,'' Mr. Pulver said. ''And as we see it, the mortgage picture is not as bleak as it has been generally presented. We haven't had any defaults. Back in 1987, when houses were going up in value 25 percent a year, there were a lot of loans made based on future appreciation of house prices. But as appreciation has slowed, customers' assets and wages are getting prime consideration when we make our loan decisions.''

The Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis is best known in the United States as a composer of music for film soundtracks, most notably ''Zorba the Greek,'' ''Serpico'' and ''Z.'' But his name regularly crops up in other contexts as well. Having studied composition in Paris with Messiaen and had an early hit with a ballet, ''Antigone,'' he became disillusioned with what he regarded as the limitations of the classical music world and became captivated by the idea of combining high and low art. He began writing art songs with bouzouki accompaniments, as well as overtly popular songs, some of which found a life in translation outside Greece.
In the 1980's Mr. Theodorakis's interest in classical forms was rekindled, and although his works are rarely performed in New York he has been fairly prolific. Among his recent projects was a trilogy of operas based on ancient Greek drama, and on Sunday afternoon Peter Tiboris led the American premiere of the second in the series, ''Electra'' (1995), in a concert version at Carnegie Hall.
The story, based on the Sophocles version, is familiar from the more venerable Strauss opera, although here Orestes makes short work of slaughtering Clytemnestra and Aegisthus, to the general celebration of the Mycenaeans. Electra does not have an ecstatic dance and does not die, and Orestes is not tormented by the Furies.
A more telling musical difference between Strauss's ''Elektra'' and Mr. Theodorakis's opera, though, is that where Strauss used the story as a canvas on which to paint a thoroughly Straussian opera, Mr. Theodorakis's score seeks to evoke the spirit of Greek antiquity -- or at least a cinematic version of that spirit. The vocal writing is generally slow and stately, with melodies that convey the character of grand pronouncements. The orchestration is large and lush, with percussion writing that often gives the music a ritualistic solemnity. And a chorus comments on what has been said, or on what the character who has just finished singing actually feels, adding a slightly oracular touch to the proceedings.Continue reading the main story
All told, this talky opera is a succession of monumental gestures: a listener was tempted to envision the action being performed in slow motion by eyeless bronze or marble statues. That had a certain exotic charm although, at nearly three hours, the rich orchestral fabric began to seem slightly oppressive. Another image that came to mind was of being marooned in a seemingly bottomless tub of chocolate mousse.
The work was sung in Greek, with supertitles, and for the occasion, Mr. Tiboris imported a cast of Greek singers. The most powerful of the singers were Reveka Evangelia Mavrovitis, the mezzo-soprano who sang the title role, and Tassis Christoyannis, the baritone who sang Orestes. Both projected well over the full-throttle orchestration, and did much to create a sense of their strong-willed characters. Much the same can be said for Ioanna Forti, whose dark contralto gave Clytemnestra's music a sinister edge. Medea Iassonidi was a generally appealing Chrysothemis, but occasionally had trouble making herself heard.
There were also fine contributions in the smaller roles from Yannis Christopoulos (Aegisthus), Angelo Simos (Pylades) and Pavlos Maropoulos (the tutor). There were a few orchestral mishaps, but for the most part he drew a polished and unflaggingly energetic performance from the Manhattan Philharmonic.Continue reading the main story

On Tuesday, she showcased her banging body again in the visuals for her freestyle to Kanye West's track "Champions".
TT also made headlines recently for allegedly already being married to her fiancé Iman Shumpert. It's pretty safe to say that Taylor is living her full dream these days.

Paris Is Always A Good Idea
Through an arrangement with Politics & Prose, of Washington, DC -- one of our favorite fellow independent bookstores -- Square Books is happy to inform customers of a travel opportunity of a distinctly literary flavor with three trips to Paris in either May, August, or November.
These trips will last one week and involve a mix of organized touring and free time. Days will be punctuated with evening salons involving conversation about books or anything else people want to discuss. The number of participants will be capped at 20, and the groups will be led by a bookseller and two experienced travel guides who have worked with Politics & Prose to set up the itineraries.
Past Paris trips have received very positive reviews. Travelers have appreciated the intimate group size and the more individualized, casual travel experience, free of buses but still with expert tour leaders accustomed to recommending sights off the beaten path. The trips are priced very reasonably—from $2,850 to $3,950 (not including airfare) depending on the season and fluctuating hotel costs.
The first trip will be in May, and given how soon that is, THE SIGN-UP DEADLINE FOR THIS TRIP IS MARCH 15.
The second trip will be in August, and the third (led by Cara Black) in early November.
Each trip has its own web page outlining the details. Here are the URLs:
May trip: http://www.politics-prose.com/spring-paris
August trip: http://www.politics-prose.com/summer-paris
November trip with Cara Black: http://www.politics-prose.com/paris
Let them know Square Books recommended you, and bon voyage!
Spring Break in Oxford & Square Books
If you haven't made your spring break plans, listen up. It's not exactly a secret that this is an ideal time (March 7 – 14 this year) to visit Oxford. The weather can be glorious, and by virtue of a dramatic population decrease, you pretty much have the place to yourself: traffic is light, restaurant seating is noncompetitive; there are Ole Miss tennis matches Thursday and Friday; Southside Gallery and other Square establishments are open; and the many splendid sites of the town and the University of Mississippi are open regular hours, including the the University Library and its Archives and Special Collections, with its permanent exhibits representing Faulkner and James Meredith, and the current exhibit, "Entertainment Collectors, Authors, and Critics." A room there is dedicated to the late publisher, Seymour Lawrence, displaying material related to the authors he published – among others, Barry Hannah, Susan Minot, Tim O'Brien, Jayne Anne Phillips, Jim Harrison, and Tom McGuane (more on him in a sec).
The University Museum also features Seymour Lawrence's modern art collection, as well as the remarkable Robinson Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities, as well as the works of Theora Hamblett, and a temporary exhibition of the work of African American self-taught artists, not to mention 19th century scientific teaching instruments and, yes, dressed fleas. Those who have been here know this museum is a pleasant walk through Bailey's Woods to Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's home, which also will be open regular hours.
But this ain't the tourism office, so why are we telling you this? Simple: we have three fabulous author events this week, all beginning with an author reception at 5.
Tuesday, March 10 – Kevin Sessums, author of Mississippi Sissy, will be here to talk about his memoir, I Left It on the Mountain, a chronicle of a low life to redemption from the Mississippian who worked with Andy Warhol, was a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and Allure, and interviewed and/or hung out with everyone from Madonna and Courtney Love to Jessica Lange.
Wednesday, March 11 – Jamie Kornegay, Batesville native, Ole Miss grad, owner of Turnrow Books in Greenwood and longtime bookseller here at Square Books and one-time producer of Thacker Mountain, which he pulled out of the ditch more than a time or two, has finally done what he meant to do all along: write a novel. And it is simply great. Called Soil, published by Simon & Schuster, the story features Jay Mize, who has vague notions of a coming apocalypse and seeks to establish a sustainable farm, a place where he can shelter his wife and young son. But a flood and Jay's building paranoia complicate their lives, and when floodwaters recede Jay finds a body in his field. If you have been missing Larry Brown or William Gay, Jamie is to the rescue.
Thursday, March 12 – Tom McGuane, once published by Seymour Lawrence and a visitor to Oxford and Square Books on a few occasions, but not in a good while – will be here with his splendid new book of stories, Crow Fair, published by Knopf. "…while it's true that the farther you get from an actual product the better your chances of economic success, I and many of my classmates wanted more physical evidence of our efforts. I had friends who'd trained as historians, literary scholars, and philosophers who were now shoeing horses, wiring houses, and installing toilets. There'd been no suicides so far." Such are the narrators and characters who populate Tom McGuane's new book, an assemblage of seventeen stories, many set in the modern West outdoors, something the author – not only a member of the American Academy of Arts & Letters, but also the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame and the National Cutting Horse Hall of Fame – knows about.
And if you can't make it, you are more than welcome to order signed copies of these and many other books from us.
