Mexico's Top iPad App? An Octavio Paz Poem!
Yes! How cool is that!? Check it out, from The Next Web:
If you think poetry can't be popular, think again: the most popular free iPad app in Mexico's app store is a poem, Blanco. So what is this app and why is it so successful?
"Blanco" is the title of a poem in Spanish by the Mexican writer Octavio Paz (1914-1998), laureate of the Novel Prize for Literature in 1990.
While he's certainly one of Mexico's most cherished writers, the app wouldn't be so popular if it were a simple PDF – and it isn't. As a matter of fact, "Blanco" is one of the best executed apps I've tested.
Not only does it gives an idea of the future of publishing, it also shows that Mexico has talent when it comes to creating beautiful apps.
Developed by the Mexican studio Manuvo, Blanco is a partnership with the Mexican cultural institution Conaculta. As a result, it combines a deep knowledge of Octavio Paz' work with dead-easy navigation.
There's video, too, when you make the jump.

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
First off, I have old fiction published in a new place: Everyday Weirdness. It's a wonderful online journal featuring a new story every day. You can find mine on April 29, 2010, here:
And "Wing" has also found a home and will be featured in an upcoming issue of Cezanne's Carrot:
As soon as I know when, I'll pass that on.
"Just Another Love Letter" is in it's final (I promise!) draft, after undergoing some serious critiquing from all my beloved Beta Readers. I have an entirely new first chapter written for it, and am squishing together the next two, bringing us closer to the Really Good Stuff much faster. I think Sara benefits from having a new mentor right out of the gate, one who does his best to shoo her away from Penemuel. Ah, conflict.
Nursing school is eating me alive. 'Nuff said. I met with my most critical Beta Reader the other day, and he asked me how I had slept the night before, knowing that he was going to Kung Pao critique my book the next day. I told him this was relaxing; what keeps me awake is the thought of accidentally killing someone.
That said, I got straight A's this semester. Well, two A's and two A-s, which actually count against my GPA. Fuckers.

Why You Need To Abandon Your Rescue Fantasy
(Note: This post was first published in June 2009 – but my Spidey Sense is telling me to send it out again because people need to hear it.)
Somewhere on one of my old Brian Tracy CDs there's this great line he says about how in order to really take control of your life you have to first realize that no one is coming to your rescue. If you want your life to be different, you're going to have to get up off the couch and make it happen.
Steven Covey also talks about the dangers of the "rescue fantasy" in one of his books, saying how too many people think that some magical solution will solve their problems in the future. We'll get that raise, and then we'll be able to get out of debt. Someone new will date us, and finally, things will go smoothly. Someone will offer us a better job, and then everything will be okay.
Except life doesn't work that way. Nothing is going to make your problems "go away."
No one is coming to your rescue. And that's good news.
We buy into all these little "someday" ideas in our life – "Someday, when I have this, I'll be happy." Or "Someday, when this circumstance changes, everything will be better." We're unhappy about something now, and we fall for the scam of external happiness – the idea that something outside of us has to change before we can actually feel happy and fulfilled.
But here's the cruel thing – even when that circumstance changes, or when you get that thing you've been angling for, you won't be happy. Things won't be okay, because there will be a new circumstance you want changed or a new thing you want.
There will always be another external factor for you to be unhappy about, because if you're miserable, it's because you're not cultivating the practice of gratitude and happiness in your own life.
The good news is that when you accept that no one is coming to your rescue, you can finally work on rescuing yourself from the stress and unhappiness you're generating inside you.
I speak from experience.
The last two weeks have been absolutely miserable for me (again, this was in June 2009), because I'm trying to make a major change in my circumstances right now, and it's extremely difficult and it's not happening fast enough. (If only X or Y or Z would happen, then everything would be okay!)
I've spent two weeks living in almost paralyzing frustration looking for a quick-fix solution to my situation. And then I get blindsided with this, from Mahala Mazerov:
At the most basic level, the definition of suffering is wanting things to be different than the way they are. I live with a brain injury that significantly influences my life energy. In addition, I'm dealing with new health challenges that have left me extremely limited since January. In Buddhist practice, we are reminded again and again we can take adversity as the path. In other words, we can face adversity, bow to it, and use it as a means of cultivation. My daily challenge has been to embrace the shifting experiences as best I can, take the hardship as fuel for love, compassion and patience.
You really need to step away from this blog and read this post of hers, right now.
Mahala goes on to say that a lot of our suffering comes from getting stuck on our desire to have things be different right this instant and that taking adversity as the path is far easier than creating suffering in the name of desire.
And I have to say, I agree.
When we cling to our rescue fantasy, we make life more difficult.
One major change I made this weekend was to stop wishing that my circumstances were different right now and to start focusing on the question how can I grow as a person through the process? Maybe the reason I've been so damn unhappy isn't because I'm not at the finish line right now, but that the waiting is revealing weaknesses in my attitudes, my self-discipline, and my willingness to push myself harder in the areas that matter.
We all want "things to change and be better" when perhaps we should be focusing on becoming better in the process of moving towards that change.
Otherwise, when things do get better, we'll still be carrying all our current baggage into the next job, the next relationship, the next whatever … and we'll be just as unhappy.
I'm not feeling the frustration of last week right now because I've abandoned my rescue fantasy. I can see some personal shortcomings I need to address between now and that near-future tipping point, and I can also see how the waiting period can give me the much-needed time and incentive to become a more balanced, relaxed person.
The "pain" of waiting is actually a pretty damn good gift, if I just choose to unwrap that sucker and use what's in the box.
A change in circumstances does not equal a rescue (it's more of a bailout, and we see how well those work).
You need to rescue yourself from your frustration, right where you are, right now. People with far worse circumstances than you are refusing to play the victim every day – step up and join the ranks.
So here's what I'm going to tell you to do right now …
- Pick one rescue fantasy you have right now and name it. Whatever it is that you've been telling yourself will be better one day when things are different – pick it and decide you're going to change the way you look at it. Do it now – even before you leave a comment.
- Then leave a comment below and let me know how you're going to reframe this situation as a call-to-action to be a stronger person. If you don't want to put your name in, put "Ass Kicker," that's good enough for me.
- Spread the word about this article. It got great response the first time, and I want it to really get some reach. Click that retweet button below if you would, and spread the word however you can.
Do it now – you'll thank yourself for it.
That is all -

Very nice! I love reading my own story, in your words. I've just finished up an ebook that is all about the excuses we put in between ourselves and what we want.
I love you callin' us out on our "need to be rescued." It never works. Really, we are just creating experiences over and over that will point us in the direction of rescuing our self. Yeah, I get to rescue me… from my excuses, from my wishing, waiting and hoping for things to be different.

Awesome, brother.
We are where we are because of the choices we've made. Others may have effects on us, but we choose to respond.
We'll get where we're going from here based on the choices we make from this point forward – starting with this instant.
Yep, I have a rescue fantasy too, and it sucks. It sucks because there are people out there with a lot less than I have, kicking a lot more ass.

Action plays a critical role in attaining what you want. But how you feel about and experience your [current] circumstances and your state of being are even more critical.
Change begins with us and who we are. We "are" our thoughts, feelings, beliefs and responses to whatever circumstances and challenges we're faced with.
Change only "hurts" when we harshly judge our undesirable circumstances. The "good" vs. "bad" comparisons we make between our present plight and the circumstances we desire keeps us in a state of pain and discomfort (i.e. impatience, frustration, the blues, etc.)
Eliminating good vs. bad comparisons and judgments, and accepting and being at peace with our present circumstances stops the pain and enables a faster, more natural (and a lot more pleasant) "flow" into the changes we desire.
Some people confuse accepting current circumstances with settling for them. They're not the same thing. But if you're not at peace with your current situation, you're limiting or even completely blocking the flow of change you most desire.
Your points are brilliant and well-made. And Mahala's post is awesome. Thanks for this, Dave.

This is GREAT! I think that deep down we all have some sort of rescue fantasy. Mine happens to be bumping into Oprah in a restroom, chatting with her about my blog/book ideas, and then being invited on her show to subsequently live a life filled with fame and fortune and making differences in lives everywhere… yes, I'm slightly delusional. But I think we (including me!) need to let go of these fantasies and focus on doing what we can to make our lives what we want them to be. Love this post! It's really given me a lot to think about!

Talk about blindsided. I practically fell out of my chair when I came across my name. Totally unexpected, and a great joy to think I was part of your process.
When we cling to any fantasy, when we cling to any reality (because what is that exactly?) that's where the difficulty appears. If we're lucky we remember to put the bags down and address the moment and the quality of our mind. That in itself is a kind of rescue.

- Jun 9, 2009 Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome
Yay for someone else speaking up about Somedays!
I look at it this way: while we can't choose what happens to us all the time we can choose how we react to it.
That means we are 100% responsible for getting out of negative situations – we can ask for help, but no one is going to rescue us.
Nicely written.

Very good point and clearly written. I think even those of us who are die-hard self-motivators fall into this trap from time to time, thinking that one opportunity or another will come along that will wipe away all of our problems. Which is not ideal, of course

Great post and a wonderful message.
I was surprised, though, when you said, "perhaps we should be focusing on becoming better." Isnt' that simply another way to wish things were different? For me, it's another trap of "should" which keeps me away from being in the moment and experiencing what is.
Anna's last blog post..Are you in deeper than you think?
- Jun 11, 2009 Tea Silvestre
What if you have fantasies of being the rescuer? As in…I think I can seriously save/change the world?
Actually, it works both ways — you can get just as frustrated when your efforts to rescue aren't lauded/accepted/sought after/you-name-it.
Since it's our desire for change that actually helps us get off the couch in the first place, it's hard to relax into the process and just ENJOY where we are.
I'm still workin' on it.

I guess I'll join the chorus. I've long held a rescue fantasy that says someday my ship will come in and I'll be able to work from home full-time with the results I need to make it a reality.
Maybe this is a common fantasy for a lot of single parents; but I also have to admit that I'm still sitting on the couch.
The post is a good reminder of Einstein's quote: "Nothing happens until something moves."
Here's to moving off the couch and into the rest of my life.

Way to go, yet again! This is one of the messages I've shared with past fitness training clients who want to lose weight: the people who will start "soon" but the moment isn't perfect today. They want to wait until after the 4th of July parties, then after their son's birthday, oh, and then their husband's birthday, and then there's Labor Day–might as well wait until the end of summer to start eating well, right? (Read: someone doesn't want to make a change!!
And yet all of us can apply this same message somewhere in our lives… thanks.

Thank for reposting this. Even after being blindsided years ago, and giving up any fantasies of rescue, in moments of exhaustion, frustration – or just plain needing to rethink how things are going, the old siren song of "Being Rescued" still starts up in the back of my mind. It is humbling to realize that no matter how logical and disciplined any of us are the part that motivates us (me anyway) is the struggle to not give in, which is akin to giving up.
- Aug 23, 2010 Gina
Mahalo Dave!
Along with a kick in the pants a little compassion for where we find ourselves at any given moment can go a long way. I find when we make the connection and practice being aware without judgment we have more energy, options and freedom to choose.

- Aug 23, 2010 Melissa Dinwiddie
Ah yes, the old rescue fantasy. I confess it pops into my head on a regular basis ("if only I'd come into a windfall of cash and could instantaneously pay off my personal debt" "if only I could meet some wonderful guy who will help me purge and organize my chaotic studio" "if only my music/art/writing would be discovered and gain me instant glory!")
Ha! The truth is, I'm quite aware that I am 100% responsible for my own happiness. And as your post says so eloquently, the less I let those rescue fantasies intrude, the more I can focus on actually doing the work to create the life I really want.
I started my blog from just this mindset, as a way to help keep me on track toward creating (and re-creating) the life I really want. But we all need a course adjustment periodically. Posts like this are just the ticket – thank you!

I've been a practicing Buddhist for 20 years now, so this kind of thinking about suffering (wanting things to change) is very familiar to me. I love it.
One thing to keep in mind when we may find ourselves in this 'trap' is that the only true constant in the universe is change. The gratitude we hold in our hearts for the moment determines the kind of change we will experience in the future.
- Aug 23, 2010 Nicola Cairncross
Dear Dave, loved this the first time I read and loving it again. And a timely reminder because everything went totally tits up AGAIN just recently and I went from "nearly made it" to starting again from scratch.
But things are moving much quicker this time, and I'm enjoying what I'm doing and I was forceibly reminded of what's important – love, family, friends, sunshine, music and all of those good things.
Having written about this rescue fantasy in my book The Money Gym too, having read this post again, I was thinking about some of the other comments about where this rescue fantasy comes from and it might well be from the fairy stories we are read as a kid? Cinderella, Rapunzel, The Little Princess, the Princess & The Pea… there are so many examples where the main character is poor, lost and unloved and then, somehow miraculously rescued into a love & money filled environment right at the end.
Well, I'm not waiting for any bloomin' prince or knight in shining armour. I'm taking my OWN armour off the shelf, dusting it off and getting on with it.
And somewhere along the road of The Hero's Journey, I'll find the love and money and I'll enjoy it and appreciate it all the more because of the hard times.
Great post as always!

Awesome post man. Jim Rohn said something similar as well.
"If you're waiting for someone to come around to turn you on…What if they don't show up?"
"…because if you're miserable, it's because you're not cultivating the practice of gratitude and happiness in your own life."
Man I love that line. It's become much easier for me to practice this since purposely implementing my creative imagination. When I visually play & rehearse what I want my life to look like, my attitude in the present moment improves.
My attitude takes altitude and allows me to observe my present moments. I no longer see myself as a victim but a creator.
I love this post and it hits on so many levels.

Lately I'm seeing not only more clamoring for rescue, but more projections and efforts to control. (Which I see as another manifestation of not rescuing yourself.)

I keep thinking that starting a family will help me improve my time management – so I've been neglecting to work on that now and I keep burning the candle at both ends.
This is a stupid idea and I should improve my time management now so I can a.) enjoy more of my time now without a little one and b.) can perhaps head off some of the added anxiety from that future time.

I have a blog that focuses on offering up hard-won wisdom to "betrayed wives". I love it. Making no money at it, but that wasn't the plan necessarily.
But though I'm a published author, I'm having trouble finding a publisher who will publish it under a pseudonym (my kids don't know..and I don't want them to). I've fallen into the "if someone discovers me, then everything will work out great" trap, rather than reaching out for what I want. In other words, waiting to be "rescued".
I love the "adversity can become your path" bit — I think that's so true. And though I followed that conviction in parts of my life, I was content to wait for rescue in other parts.
Well put…and a well timed post for me to read.

I like your term 'rescue fantasy'. I also call it 'wishing and hoping'. It is such an easy trap to fall into – probably because our culture promotes the idea via advertising, 'news', mainstream movies, public relations, TV, pop music, etc. – I guess I should also include religion and political parties.
The most insidious promoters of this attitude are families. Families are full of people who want to be wanted, or need to be needed – so we are trained into the rescue fantasy from a very young age.
The opposite side of the coin is that many of us feel we are responsible for others – so we feel we should rescue them – and so neglect looking after ourselves.
Rescue fantasy, and rescuer fantasy, are just excuses we use to avoid the fear of change rather than facing it.
As you say Dave, turning the pain into a signal that tells us that we need to change something inside our selves is a great strategy for continual self improvement.

I let myself into this because it worked once. But thanks Dave, deep down inside i know it won't ( first time it happened, i think God was watching over me) and i'm just putting myself up to be shot down if i went the same way. I'll work on my limiting beliefs and my procastination. Thanks for the Ass kicking!

Absolutely spot on. I realized my ecommerce site hasn't gained traction yet so I've been evaluating what alternate courses of action to take.

This post has made me think about how much and how often I fall into this trap – even when I think that I am paying attention to it!
It's sneaky too – sometimes the things that could be the most useful for us, like seeking expertise from someone else or to learn from someone else, can also sometimes hide that we just want them to solve our problems.
The other thing that hits me with what you are saying is the reminder to do something and not be passive and just sit there – even if the first step is to do is carefully contemplate what the situation is revealing about my weaknesses and the way I seek to avoid fear, and then do something about it.

You worry me sometimes, Dave. I just get it clear in my head that I'm going to add a section to one of my workshops on Gratitude as a marketing strategy, and then I come here and read this.
And then you point me to Mahala, who makes it very clear I don't have one rescue fantasy, but two.
So… regardless of whether the money from the stock comes in, I can get this business working. I know everything I need to know to bootstrap it, even with insufficient funding. I will.
And I don't need to improve my health first. I'm functional *enough*, I have *enough*, I can do it and then glory in having done it. It's ok to succeed.
I'm not buying "adversity as the path", though. for ME that's an excuse for more victimhood. I'm going for the path as the path, and gratitude for the path that is there.

You've got my number. I've been hoping that my job will get easier, pay more, or that a better one will come along. But in this economy I must be thankful to have one at all. For me, this is an opportunity to gain self-discipline. Like so many twenty-somethings, I haven't got much of it.

Hi Dave,
I've been reading your posts for over a year now and its been great!
I haven't seen any new posts, so I am hoping that all is well with you and I hope that you are really just Super Busy — which is great too!
Either way, thanks again for all the great advice.
Best of Luck,

Right on Dave!
There were days when I'd hoped it would all be over myself. I'm not a sap or anything but fighting to live day in and day out can be a lot to deal with.
So every now and then you'd wish some character for one of these Reality Shows would run in and say "I'm here to fix your life, you win!"
Alas… no such thing happens and no one is coming to our rescue. It's time to get up and dust off the pain and get going.
Plus when you take the time to look around and see that you're not that bad off compared to many people, you realize you shouldn't be complaining one bit.
Love your blog, read it all the time, even though there hasn't been a post in a bit.

I've really made an effort in the last few months to lower the "wishing" quotient dramatically … but I am up for the challenge of picking another rescue plan to toss out the window…
How about… No one is going to save me from owing money on my income tax every year so it's time I got off my but and changed the amount of taxes taken off my income every month or set up an account to toss some money in every month so it won't come as such a surprise come April!
I feel better already

Arrrgghh! Oh I know all this intellectually, the next step is to really live it. Your post has inspired me to do just that. My rescue fantasy: "if only I were living in another town my life would be so much better." This fantasy is a bunch of krap. And today, I officially let it go and accept that where I am today is EXACTLY where I need to be! Thanks for reposting this!

My rescue fantasy has always been that some day someone will come along and make me healthy, take all this weight off me, and turn me into an exercisin machine! I am choosing today to review the way I've been looking at this task of mine, and do something about it instead of waiting for someone else to take care of it for me.
There are no magic potions, no miracle cures. I accept that if I want to change, I must do it from within. I know that when I just get moving, when I choose to involve myself in a physical activity, that I will feel gloriously satisfied afterward.
And when it comes to my health, and having the energy to get moving towards my dreams, I have to believe that it's worth it. Huh… isn't that funny? I just can't think of anymore excuses!

This is just what I've needed. I've been letting debt hold me back from so many things and just haven't had the perspective to see that the only reason it was doing so was because of me. That's gonna change.

I named it Big-spender, "my life will be much happier/funnier/greater/better when I get a bigger salary".
As of right now I'm logging on to my bank to arrange some kind of monthly savings-thingie and I promise, I will stop buying crap I don't need.
Inspiring post! I just found your blog and I'll think I dig around some more here, I'm liking what I see.

Came across this tonight at the most indescribably perfect time.
Right now, this very moment, I am abandoning the fantasy that my husband will man up and do the right thing where I am concerned. It is all in my hands. I will find a way to get myself and my kids to a healthy place and I will do it on my own, not expecting him to own his mistakes, have compassion, or do what he should do to make things right.
I will.

My rescue fantasy is that I can exercise and still eat what I want. I'm not in that kind of shape and it is backfiring. Coincidentally, my car broke down, and has put me in a position where I have to walk, catch a bus and walk some more. Which makes me want to eat better because it's no longer about just "eating" it's about "energy" and doing the right thing to keep MOVING! So, in addition to the walking, a friend and I are getting together and going to hold each other accountable for making better choices with our food.
NEXT: The "waiting for the right-guy" rescue fantasy. I'mma just go get me one, dammit.

This panel, which forms the eighth in the suite of tapestries which make up the Federation Tapestry, is a powerful summary of the themes underlying the whole suite.
As the title suggests, the Cavalcade panel presents an historical procession from before the arrival of Europeans, through various voyages of discovery to the first white settlement of Australia. It continues through the nineteenth century, culminating in the political movement towards Federation. For this panel the Tapestry's designer, Murray Walker, used the contemporary work of cartoonists Bruce Petty and Ron Tandberg, as well as older images drawn from a range of other sources.
Figures included in the procession from upper left to right (bottom) are:
Murray Walker chose William Buckley, Bungaree, Tommy McRae and William Barak as important examples of men who moved between Indigenous and settler communities, pleading for tolerance and acceptance.
In the upper area of the panel, Bruce Petty's timeline features a central map of the old world. The people boarding the sailing ship represent convicts, the accompanying soldiers (depicted as the Rum Corps) and free settlers on their way to Sydney Cove. On the left-hand side of the ship under the five stars of the Southern Cross, the disembarking figures represent various aspects of the early settlement of the colony of N.S.W. Five different timelines are illustrated.
Detail of William Buckley
The design was complex and presented many challenges, so weaving this panel required a high degree of artistic and technical skill. As the portraits and figures were drawn from a number of different sources – photographs, sketches, art works, trade marks, and cartoons – it was important that they were unified in the tapestry panel but could also be read individually. To achieve this the weavers used a limited palette of blues and greens for the figures at the base of the panel. Only two – Bungaree and Captain Arthur Phillip – reflect the colours of the original art works. While the weavers simplified the details of these images, they also had to ensure that the portraits could still be recognised by those viewing the tapestry.
This panel, which is central to the Federation story, has links with several others. The colour used for the background is the same as for The Heidelberg School panel, which hangs nearby. Bruce Petty's central cartoon in that tapestry panel is treated in a similar manner to the small medallion portraits in this panel.
Designer: Murray Walker with contributing artists Bruce Petty and Ron Tandberg, selected images by Norman Lindsay and William Barak (LaTrobe Collection, State Library of Victoria). Selected works from British artists John Webber (Mitchell Library PXD 59f64b), William Heath (Rex Nan Kivell Collection, National Library Australia U7173), Augustus Earle (Rex Nan Kivell Collection, National Library of Australia T305) and H.Macbeth-Raeburn, (National Library of Australia S4824). Other images are sourced from various publications, State and National archives, and the Mitchell Library and include photographs, trademarks and details from artworks.

Health worker shortages in Zambia: An assessment of government responses
Article published in the Journal of Public Health Policy
Inadequate funding, support, and infrastructure in Zambia has over many years resulted in a neglected health system with poor facilities and workers who feel undervalued. The motivation and commitment of existing health workers will be enhanced by improving their conditions of service. While increased salaries would be welcomed, they are not the primary motivating factor of health workers. Even with significant gains in training enrollments, retention, graduation, and public sector entry, Zambia is likely to operate with a shortage of human resources for health for at least the next decade unless alternative means of addressing this shortage are introduced.

Red Dirt Book Festival
Problem StatementThe biennial Red Dirt Book Festival was developed in 2003 to celebrate the art and craft of writing through an event that brings together Oklahoma readers and writers.
The Red Dirt Book Festival is a free two day, biennial event held in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The previous 4 festivals (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009) have been funded through a grant from the Oklahoma Humanities Council, Pioneer Library System, family foundations, local sponsors and individual donations. The event begins with an opening session and proceeds to a series of workshops and author talks. There are several programs every hour to choose from, including authors who read from their works. Workshops have been given on such topics as: self publishing, memoir writing, storytelling, plotting, genre writing, writing poetry and much more.
A few Oklahoma authors involved in past festivals have been: Tony Hillerman, Billy Letts, William Bernhardt, Carolyn Hart, Marsha Preston, Hannibal Johnson, Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, Tim Tingle, Sharon Sala, Merline Lovelace and PC Cast. Short story, poetry, illustration and photography submissions are accepted at the festival and for a short time after for publication of an anthology which is sold for a nominal fee to cover production.
The Red Dirt Book Festival has had participants attend from several states across the country and Canada, many of whom have reported that they plan their vacations for this event. Authors network, and new writing collaborations have been forged. New, mentored writers have developed their techniques and furthered their writing careers. The Library has made many connections and built relationships with authors and publishers that have been invaluable for other programming endeavors.
The 2009 Red Dirt Festival included a teen writing component that featured Mel Odom, a professional writer with over 150 published works who worked with students from several area high schools. Many institutions such as the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, Oklahoma Baptist University, St. Gregory's University and the Shawnee News-Star have participated as partners. The festival was featured in the February 15, 2005 Library Journal.

Dehradun, June 19 (ANI): Normal life has been badly disrupted following an indefinite strike by civic body employees, causing acute water shortage and leading to growing garbage dumps in various parts of Uttarakhand.Tourists and local residents are bearing the brunt of the ongoing strike as there is acute water shortage and accumulation of garbage dumps in the city.
"We are facing lot of problems. Water comes in the morning and that too for one hour. After one hour it stops coming and the water pressure is also very less. We don't get any water to drink. There is growing garbage dump and no cleanliness. Also, there is power shortage. What should we do in such condition?" said Sushma, a local resident in Dehradun.
Even the supply of drinking water bottles in the market has run out due to heavy demand.
On Thursday, striking employees gathered at Gandhi Park in Dehradun city and raised anti-government slogans.
The agitating employees demanded implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations and pledged to continue the strike until their demands were met.
"Our demands are first, that there should be no disparity in the payments or salaries of employees and recommendations of sixth pay commission should be implemented. Second, daily wage workers and PTC workers should be regularised. Third, pension and other allowances of all civic body workers should be at par with the state employees. Fourth, appointment should be made for all vacant posts that are vacant for past several years," said Bhupindar, State President of Local Bodies Association.
The employees belonged to Uttarakhand civic bodies Dehradun Municipal Corporation, Jal Sansthan, and Panchayats. (ANI)

Site: Ypsilanti, Mich. (Bob Parks Track/Bowen Fieldhouse)
Event: Eastern Michigan Invitational
U-M Team Finish: No team scoring
Next U-M Event: Saturday, Jan. 16 -- vs. Ohio State (U-M Indoor Track Building), Noon
YPSILANTI, Mich. -- In the first competition of the year, the University of Michigan men's track and field team made the short trip across Washtenaw County to participate in the non-scored Eastern Michigan Invitational on Saturday (Jan. 9) at the Bob Parks Track/Bowen Fieldhouse. Junior Carl Buchanon (South Bend, Ind./Clay) won the 60-meter hurdles, while junior David St. Amant (Livonia, Mich./Churchill) took first in the 400-meter dash.
Michigan got two top-five finishes in the 200-meter dash. Freshman Aaron Taylor (Rochester Hills, Mich./Adams) tasted his first collegiate action and crossed the line in second (22.35), while sophomore Matthew Campbell (Rochester, Mich./Rochester) came in fifth (22.83).
In addition to St. Amant's win in the 400-meter dash, several others received high times. Sophomore Nicholas Neumann (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) missed much of last season due to injury but finished third in his first action back, getting clocked in with a time of 50.82. Junior Matt Wheeler (Atherton, Calif./Menlo-Atherton) and redshirt freshman James Wade (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) finished fifth and seventh, respectively.
In the 3,000-meter run, senior Peter Christmas (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) took second, while redshirt freshman Bobby Aprill (Dexter, Mich./Dexter), running unattached, finished in fourth.
Over in the field, fifth-year senior John Kipf (Monroe, Mich./St. Mary Catholic Central) finished in a tie for second place on high jump (6-8 1/4). Junior Robert Peddlar (Kingston, Jamaica/Wolmer's Boys) was U-M's top performer in long jump with a third-place finish (22-8 1/2). And a pair of freshmen were Michigan's top performers on pole vault, as John Greenlee (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Xavier) finished in sixth (unattached), with Austin DeWildt (Wyoming, Mich./Catholic Central) right behind in seventh.
Michigan opens the home slate next weekend with arch-rival Ohio State at noon on Saturday (Jan. 16) at the Indoor Track Building for another edition of "The Dual". The Big Ten Network will be on hand to broadcast the meet, which will be televised Jan. 23 at 3 p.m.
Michigan did not have any competitors in the mile, but import Brendon Blacklaws (Wellington, New Zealand/Wellington College) finished third in the 800-meter run. Senior Jeff Merrill (Lodi, Calif./Lodi) came in sixth.
Junior Nick McCampbell (Detroit, Mich./Cass Technical) finished only nine-hundredths of a second behind Buchanon in the 60-meter hurdles (third place).
Michigan did not have any throwers (shotput, weight throw) entered in competition.
Michigan Head Coach Fred LaPlante
On Saturday's meet ... "Well, it was our first meet. Some of our guys were competing for the first time and some of our established guys want to see where they are for the upcoming weeks. I thought we competed at a pretty high level, we were engaged. We performed just about how I thought we would -- we weren't horrible, but we weren't great, either. It's only the first meet. We will improve."

Arcam Alpha 5 reading error
I was hoping somebody could chime in and give me some advice.
I am having the same problem with my Arcam Alpha 5+. When I insert a disc, it spins very fast and, sometimes, will stop and display an error message. Sometimes it ill just keep spinning fast indefinitely. The spinning sound also has a distinctive metal rubbing against metal characteristic.
Prior to this issue, I remember the player was leaning on one of its sides for a couple of weeks. Is that a problem?

Bells will soon ring in public schools across South Carolina as nearly 700,000 students mark the beginning of a new year. It's an exciting time for our students, families and educators.
I meet many parents in my travels, and I'm always asked about ways they can help their children succeed. As an educator and a parent, I can say that there are no easy answers. But here are a few suggestions that parents may want to consider as the new school year begins:
u Work with your child to set realistic goals for each class or subject.
u Get to know your child's teachers, and work to establish open lines of communication with them and other school officials.
u Monitor your child's progress throughout the year.
u Show support for your child's academic and extracurricular endeavors.
u Encourage your child to exercise, get plenty of rest on school nights and eat a well-balanced diet.
u Remember to praise your child when he does well and to search for ways to help him when he is struggling.
u Ask teachers and school officials about projects and activities that would allow you to use your talents to become more involved in your child's education.
My goal as state superintendent of education is to help all South Carolina children succeed. We are focusing on accelerating innovation, increasing public school choice, refining accountability for maximum results with minimum testing, elevating and reinvigorating the teaching profession and providing fair, adequate and equitable funding for schools.
There's a great deal to celebrate:
u South Carolina is a national leader in single-gender education, with programs available in nearly 250 schools. Charter schools, magnet programs, Montessori schools, alternative schools and many other choice options are increasingly available.
u Accountability and testing reform was a big step forward during the 2008 General Assembly, reducing the testing burden for students and teachers and delivering more timely and useful information about student progress.
u Our students have exciting new curriculum offerings and online learning opportunities.
u We are developing TEACHouses - affordable, high-quality residences aimed at attracting teachers to rural districts. We are working to provide low-interest home loans to teachers. And thanks to a groundbreaking new partnership with Clemson University and The Cliffs Communities, we are developing a new Teacher Renewal Center in the Upstate.
But while public education is making tremendous progress, we also face numerous challenges. Poverty is increasingly pervasive, with one in four South Carolina children living in households where incomes average just over $20,000 a year. Not only do we need to expand early childhood initiatives to help guarantee that all students begin school ready to learn, but we also must fix South Carolina's unfair, unbalanced, inadequate and virtually incomprehensible system of funding public schools. It's not just about doing the right thing; it's about securing our state's economic future.
Right now, state law does not require good schools. The S.C. constitution requires only that schools be free and "minimally adequate."
Our children deserve better. I hope you will join me in demonstrating to the General Assembly that South Carolinians want to change the constitution.
There are three things you can do to help us get this amendment on the November 2010 general election ballot. First, join us in sending a message to the Legislature by signing the Goodbye Minimally Adequate petition (www.goodbyeminimallyadequate.com). Second, ask your friends and family members to help by sharing the Web site with them. Finally, contact your legislators and tell them that your standards and aspirations for our children are higher than "minimal."
Public education is the cornerstone of our democracy, and it is our obligation to ensure that every child receives a quality education, whether they live in Spartanburg or Allendale, Charleston or Bishopville.
Our young people shouldn't be shortchanged based on where they live. That's why I've convened a diverse group of public education supporters to develop a proposal for a more equitable system of funding. The time to do something is now because the education our young people receive today will help determine what South Carolina looks like for the next 40 or 50 years.
The 2008-09 school year presents a unique opportunity to erase from our state the shameful standard of "minimally adequate." It's also a chance to build upon our accomplishments as we continue working toward creating one of the most innovative and choice-driven school systems in the nation.
Together, we can.

Miguel Cotto Update
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Former world champion Miguel Cotto may be hooking up with a new head trainer. Sources have mentioned names like Buddy McGirt, Ronnie Shields and others. Cotto is expected to return on June 12 at Madison Square Garden to challenge WBA super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman. Current trainer Joe Santiago, also the matchmaker of Miguel Cotto Promotions, and conditoning coach Phil Landman will remain on the Cotto staff. "We are seeking opportunities to improve in the corner and to seek the best preparation for the next fights," said Cotto legal advisor Gaby Peñagarícano.

I ran across an interesting bit of research today suggesting that one of the leading ways investors get suckered into investment bubbles, and subsequently decimate our annual performance, is that we are far too concerned with being left out of the money making process, rather than losing our original investment.
As one trading coach summed it up:
The prospect of regret [from not making money] is actually shown to be more motivating than the prospect of making money. So how that plays itself out is: well, my neighbor is in Google. I'm not making the money. I got to jump into Google now!
That's the fear you've got to be on the biggest lookout for because that's the one that will get you into bubbles at the worst possible moment.
– Denise Shull, CEO, The Rethink Group & Trader Psyches
[Fast forward to 2:20 minute mark]
This adds more fuel to the belief that there is still a largely unrecognized Behavior Gap among many investors in what we believe in our self deluded, confirmation bias clouded minds versus the actual rate of return we see on our quarterly balance sheets.
But what I find so intriguing is that this also lends more proof to the theory that our brains are programmed to follow the herd, and the real money makers are the iconoclastic personalities that can ignore the peer pressure, and/or make the investments that no one wants to make (e.g. take the path less traveled).
As Shull points out, it's the regret of not making money that influences many of our poor investment decisions. But it's also extremely difficult to ignore the desire to compete, or to make investing into some sort of competition — whether real in the case of professional money managers or a childish competition between neighbors — that may push you into bad investments that you might otherwise avoid.
For example, if the belief that your neighbor who already owns Google, might socially embarrass you by stating that he made a killing in Google while you're the investing equivalent of Driving Miss Daisy, is so powerful that it would override your common sense not to buy, then you're caving to the regret or fear of missing out.
In essence, the shortsighted belief that you may not be able to participate in the fun or celebration (e.g. making money) outweighs the fact that you may get punished later (e.g. losing money).
Sounds rather like high school… doesn't it?
Like the time you knew it was a bad idea to ditch school, like all of your other friends, but you did it anyway because of peer pressure? Worse yet, to get the attention of a certain someone? Sounded good at the time, right? But man, did you regret it later.
That's precisely what I find so astounding about the herding mentality and the efficacy of social leverage! You already know the herd is behaving irrationally. Yet, you're willing to succumb to peer pressure, follow along with the herd to relieve that peer pressure, and accept that if you get hurt, at least everyone else will suffer the same fate as you.
Maybe I've just seen too many investment bubbles in my 15 years of investing, or maybe I'm too antisocial to care about being part of the cool crowd, but nothing turns me off more about an investment (or anything else for that matter) is to find out that everyone else wants it or already owns it.
So from my point of view, the best ways to shield yourself from this "fear of being left out" phenomenon are:
In the end, I don't think it's feasible to suggest that one person, unless you're some kind emotionless robot, can ignore their emotions every hour of every day. Perhaps the best thing to do is to realize that you're human, acknowledge that you're going to make the occasional mistake, but simultaneously do all that you can to minimize outside influences when it comes to your money management decisions.
There is a lot of pain in watching a buddy making my yearly salary in a random penny stock! That being said, it hurts to watch the subsequent crash if they fail to get out.
Watching others make money is another case of keeping up with the Joneses. First, you don't want to be left out when everybody is getting rich around you buying tech stocks or houses in the sunbelt. Somehow we think that it can't be wrong when "everybody" is doing it. In fact, it is most likely a bad investment when everybody is in it. (Who is left to add money?) Second, you have a lot of pressure at social gatherings when everybody is talking about their latest financial successes and you got nothing to better the story. Who wants to be left out?
That's pretty weird, because I've also read that actually losing money is worse than giving up profits… so presumably one batch of scientists is wrong! ;)
I've read conflicting data as well, but the study that I saw several years ago did not take into account the feelings *before* the investment was made. So investors/traders didn't get the benefit on hindsight.
I'm currently reading "Your Money and Your Brain: How the New Science of Neuroeconomics Can Help Make You Rich" by Jason Zweig. One of my fav WSJ writers. The book discusses this exact topic.
I want to write a blog post basically stating we are wired to be poor investors. We are way too short term thinkers and need too much social acceptance.
One skill I've learned over the years that has helped me become a better investor. Learn to weigh both the pro or con to investing in something.
If you are listening to the "noise" listen to both sides of the augment. Suck it all in digest both viewpoints. It definitely requires independent thinking. You might be doing things that are not very popular, but just because something is popular doesn't mean it's wrong either.
A perfect example of this is purchasing gold. Which side is right? Only time will tell in the long run.
Excellent decision making process! Perhaps someone should create an investment strategy where at least 2 out of 3 people must say "you're a bleeping idiot to buy XYZ" as a buying signal. Definitely not for the short term trading minded, but it's an interesting argument… at least academically.
Iconoclasts can usually drown out the verbal abuse and peer pressure, so maybe encountering high degrees of social anxiety is one (of many?) ways to know you're buying in at the appropriate times.
Well put, Matt. Even I understood it, and I am not investment savvy at all. Isn't this where bubbles come from though?
In theory, bubbles originate from a sudden spike in demand. Of course, there is speculation across the board that many bubbles are Wall Street fallacies artificially created to boosting short term profits. Jury is still out of course.
That said, bubbles also form by word of mouth, but in today's world, words from a single person can be heard by millions. As you can imagine, that's a lot of potential buyers if they choose to click the buy button. So if someone says XYZ is in high demand, everyone clicks buy (perhaps why some people refer to CNBC as "bubblevision").
In a sense, it can be purely organic in the beginning, but it can also become a self fulfilling prophecy once enough people get wind that it's an easy money maker. At that point, it will continue until more shares are sold than continuing to buy buy buy.
Hope that helps.
This is a pretty interesting study. But somehow, it makes you think that this is the primary reason why the bandwagon mentality is still very much applicable in today's society, even if it has been said time and again, that when you see the bandwagon, you know that it's already too late.
Well said. Unfortunately, most people can't realize that very basic principle and pile on anyway. The thrill of making money is just too good not to pass it up.

I'm an avid shooter who just shot my first IDPA with TSSA at Trail Glades. They are a great group if you're ever down this way. I'm a big HK fan, but broke down and bought a G22 because there are many more goodies available for Glocks and it seems more compatible with IDPA, USPSA, etc. I'll have to admit that I like the way it shoots (didn't think I would ever say that), but still love my USPC.

Advice Questions about Getting Picked On:
Dear IML,
I'm a black girl, and I go to an all-white school. I feel like nobody likes me because I'm black. I'm always getting rejected. How do I have confidence in myself?
--From Renae, 11
Dear Renae,
I can't really tell you how to have confidence in yourself; it's not something you can learn, necessarily. I can tell you that confidence usually starts with two things: pride in yourself and your abilities, and friends. To have pride in yourself, all you have to do is look in the mirror! I'll bet you're smart and you've got some accomplishments up your sleeve. That's more than enough to start with. For friends, I'd suggest you look into afterschool groups. They tend to be a great place to meet new people. If nobody at your school is giving you the time of day, even in the afterschool club, I'd suggest you start looking around your community for new ways to meet people. Doing things as simple as volunteering at a library could be the key to finding people you really like who can help you through your issues at school! My heart goes out to you. I wish you the best of luck.
--Sarah, IML Mentor
Hey Renae!
You really should be proud of yourself and your heritage. Your ancestors had to go through a lot of pain and hard work to be where you are. Don't be afraid to be who you are. Every time you enter that school or want to start talking to someone, just take a deep breath, relax, and be yourself. Hopefully, you will find friends who like you for who you are. Your background is filled with strong, confident people who weren't accepted but they found ways to become accepted.
--CinKay, IML Mentor
Dear Renae,
I know it's hard, but try not to let everyone else get to you. You have to work it! Try saying motivational things to yourself to get you excited about going to school. When you have confidence in yourself, it becomes infectious and everyone will see how strong you really are. Try making some new friends! Think up relatable topics to talk about with some of your classmates and see how that works out.
--Natalie, IML Mentor
Dear IML,
I am in eighth grade this year (my last year of middle school) and I am getting picked on so much. I do ignore it and act like it doesn't get to me but it does so much. A group of girls always make fun of me, talk behind my back, and spreads vicious rumors. I asked them to stop, but then they started doing it even more. All of them were my friends but then they started hating on me because they thought I was "annoying". Even my best friend I trusted so much betrayed me and backstabbed me and joined that group and started making fun of me. It hurts so much to see all of my old friends in a group making fun of me. I cry every day after school when I come home. I hate school and never look forward to it. I even considered being home schooled but my dad won't let me. And I know if I tell the principal they won't stop and they will tease me even more. Please help me! I am always depressed now and thanks to this situation, I have been getting bad grades lately.
--From Claire, 13
Josephine Schiff, MSW, LCSW
School Social Worker
Dear Claire;
I am a school social worker, and part of my job is to talk to kids about the same issues that you are currently experiencing. Last week, I had a classroom of students read your letter to IML, and "reply" as part of our discussion about bullying and gossip and rumors. After hearing my students and reading their replies, I can say very strongly: You are Not Alone!! A large percentage (too large for me) have been picked on and "backstabbed" by people they thought were their friends. The depression, anger, and hurt can be overwhelming. Overwhelming, but not defeating.
Most of my students felt that you should talk to someone: a parent, school guidance counselor or social worker, or principal. A couple of students stated that their bullying/rumors situation improved after they brought their problems to an adult who would advocate for them. Right now you may be feeling so bad that it's difficult to find the energy to "fight" against the terrible way you are being treated. This is why you need an adult to help. Other students advised that finding a new group of friends (girls who treat you like a real friend) would help your self-esteem, and besides, you deserve good friends! One student said that to "mean girls," this is a game. Did you ask to be a player in their game? I didn't think so.
Please talk to an adult as soon as you can. Print out this letter, and take it with you, if it will make you less nervous. Join a new club at school, or in your community in order to meet other kids who have similar interests. Remember…you deserve good friends! Please let us know how you are doing and take care of yourself.
Dear IML,
I'm going to Middle School next year. Of course, I am quite excited! The only problem is, I'm accused of being "emo." I know when you're emo you hurt yourself and write sad stuff, poetry, stories, etc. Being really smart doesn't help either. I'm known for being the smart girl that likes to help people. But, whenever someone wants me to help, their friends accuse me of being emo. I love helping people! Do you have any advice? I really would like people to stop accusing me of something I don't even do!
--From Jess, 12
Dear Jess,
The term "emo" is very stereotypical and hurtful. In fact, "emo" -- otherwise known as "emotional," which is what it is short for -- is a genre of music, and not actually a type of person. People classified as "emo" don't actually hurt themselves. Not only that, but a lot of so-called "emos" are very social and don't tend to write sad music or poetry. In fact, kids who are called "emos" are usually called that because they dress a certain way. It's one of the worst stereotypes there is and honestly, I don't understand why someone who listens to a certain genre of music is a bad person. I have friends who are called "emos" who aren't bad people at all. Anyway, you should never listen to stereotypes. They're quite awful in general because it's hard to break out of them. When someone calls you "emo," you can tell them that you're not a soup can, so you don't need a label. Try to explain that you're a person, not an object, and you have feelings, and being called "emo" -- when you're obviously not -- hurts you. Alternately, you could just ignore the friends of the person who needs your help and try to help them anyways. These people might just be trying to get under your skin. If you don't let them, they get bored, and eventually move on. I hope I helped you understand more about the term you're called, and helped you with your problem.

|Potbellies are all plant, and grow like weeds. They are welcome participants in the chorus, so long as they wear their pots and refrain from invading others' space.
The Potbelly resembles a green carnivorous plant in a cracked terracotta pot. It has two mouths, and a stem like a thick belly.
When the monster is idle, it stays in tempo by swaying back and forth in its pot.
SongAudio sample:
The Potbelly's contribution to an island's song is a two-part harmony of nasal, staccato vocals that go "bup" or "bawmp". The smaller of the Potbelly's two heads frequently takes a solo line, riffing on the larger head's steady line.
The Potbelly becomes available for purchase in the Market at Level 9. They can also be produced by breeding an unstable combination between a Potbelly and another monster.
On Shugabush Island, the Potbelly must either be purchased with diamonds or teleported from any other island it is found on (not including Gold) once it reaches level 15.
Earning Rate and Maximum Income
Earning rate is in coins per hour and depends on Happiness % (Likes increase Happiness), also each monster has a limit to how much income it can hold at a time. Increasing the monster's level increases the limit.
Feeding Monsters
Each monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the monster's level increases the coins earned per minute, as well as the maximum coins earned. The food per level is the same for all single element monsters and can be found in this article.
Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster, the monster's happiness will increase by 25% (in other words, placing two of the same liked item near a monster will still only increase happiness by 25%).

Some items to take into consideration when designing your island by strategy are number of beds for the monster, rate of income per bed, max income per bed, and time for max income to be reached. The income below is for level 15:
|Number of Beds
|Rate of Income High
|Rate of Income Low
|Max Income
|Rate of Income per Bed High
|Rate of Income per Bed Low
|Max Income per Bed
|Time to Max Income @ High
|3 minutes
|Time to Max Income @ Low
|6 minutes
Special Occasions
- Main article: Special Occasions
For the Cold Island Christmas celebration, the Potbelly's pot is yellow with a red bow on it. The Potbelly heads also wear Santa hats.
In 2015, this costume did return but the leaves turned red for that time.
Name Origin
Potbelly monsters, as stated above, have fat, bloated stems resembling a belly, complete with belly button - and are kept in cracked flower pots - hence the name "pot belly".
Rare Version
Main Article: Rare MonstersRares are special versions of monsters that are only available to buy and breed on weekends. Each weekend a different rare is available to buy or breed. Unlike most types of Rare Monsters, breeding Rare Single-Element Monsters requires any combination where both of its parents possess the key element of the regular counterpart.
However, like all other Rare Monsters, the breeding time is longer, the "likes" are different, and the earning rates are higher. Rare Monsters are not yet available in the Windows version of the game.
Find out more about the rare version of the Potbelly on the Rare Potbelly page.
- The Potbelly's song changes when a Shrubb is placed on Plant Island and if the Potbelly is not muted, one of its heads sings with the Shrubb at the beginning.
- Sometimes a Potbelly will jump up out of its pot, during which some small leaves and roots on its underside can be briefly seen.
- The Potbelly sounded different in the pre-release advertisements.
- One of the possible nicknames for Potbelly, "Audrey", is a reference to the carnivorous plant Audrey II from the musical Little Shop of Horrors.
