The Spiritual Job Search
By ELLEN LEVENTRY
Sunday, February 10, 2002
Like many Americans, Marla Konowitch lost her job soon after Sept. 11. But the 40-year-old Boulder resident didn't immediately set out to find a new career. Instead of frantically sending out resumes and cover letters, Konowitch concentrated on her chakras.
That's right. By clearing and aligning her chakras - according to Hindu tradition, seven energy centers in the body - with the energetic forces that make everything in life possible, she believes she will be able to discern what career she really wants and find her best fit in the work world.
If the thought of using ancient Hindu wisdom instead of hotjobs.com to find a livelihood sounds a bit "out there," it shouldn't. "People breathe a sigh of relief when I explain that this work is not about chakras, it is about you," says Rick Jarow, author and creator of the "Ultimate Anti-Career Guide" workshops.
At a time when every morning's business section announces layoffs, and faith - especially in the economy - is shaky, growing numbers of Americans are turning within for answers. Instead of visiting employment counselors, they're hiring spiritual coaches and attending workshops like Jarow's in order to find new jobs.
The spiritual job search may be the perfect match for those frustrated by the recent job market. "When people are in a job search and they hit a wall with traditional approaches, it's a particularly good time to open up to meditation, transformation and spirituality," notes Allie Roth, a New York City-based holistic counselor who has worked with Jarow in the past.
"The spiritual job search begins with nurturing your soul, reminding yourself who you are. That's what makes you feel good, makes you feel like you have control, rather than feeling like a victim."
A spiritual approach, say holistic counselors, helps clients think outside the box and take into account experience that doesn't appear on their resume. "There's nothing that doesn't apply," says Tami Coyne, New York City-based author and spiritual job counselor. "Any skill you have applies to the workplace."
Motherhood, she says, is a prime example of experience commonly left off a resume but which involves marketable skills such as time management, conflict resolution and delegating responsibility.
Christine Raymond, executive editor of Spirituality.com, sees more and more victims of layoffs and the recession combining spirituality with their job hunting. "We have over 150 articles by people who have turned to spiritual means, including building spiritual resumes."
Tama Kieves of Awakening Artistry, a Denver-based coach and author who left a successful law practice to pursue her dream of writing, believes once people see the value of spiritual job-seeking, they'll make it a part of every search.
"Right now, it would seem weird if you meditated before a job interview, but in the future it will seem weird that you didn't," says Kieves, author of "This Time I Dance! Trusting the Journey of Creating the Work You Love / How One Harvard Lawyer Left It All to Have It All." (Awakening Artistry Press, 2002.)
Estimates show that books, travel and music related to spirituality and religion make up a $40 billion industry. Take a look at the career section of your local bookstore and you'll find titles like: "An Inside Job: A Spiritual Approach to Finding Your Right Work" (Unity, 1999).
Littleton-area employment coach Suzanne Bourland Simpson, who uses Christian scripture and visualization techniques in her practice, saw an increase in calls immediately after Sept. 11. Laurence Boldt, author of "How to Be, Do or Have Anything" (Ten Speed Press, 2000) and "Zen and the Art of Making a Living" (Penguin, 1999), who advertises holistic counseling on his website, has received more than 600 inquiries in less than six weeks.
"It works. It works," affirms Carolyn McDonough, who has worked with both Roth and Jarow. After suffering from a life-threatening illness, McDonough consulted with Roth, who helped her turn her own healing experience into WellNet, an online meditation and wellness exchange. Boldt estimates as many as 85 percent of his clients have success stories like McDonough's. But don't think the spiritual job search is all about chanting and waiting around in the lotus position. "It's not sitting on a mountain and just visualizing success," says Roth. "It is about taking action, but taking action from center, from who you are."
Konowitch, who received Jarow's "Anti-Career" tapes as a gift a few years ago, admits that when she first listened to the program, it seemed a little far-fetched. But after being laid off from her job of 14 years with Continental Airlines, she took a second look.
"So many people out of work went like banshees to find a new job, and it's hard in this society to take a break without people looking at you with their own fear," she says. "It's really hard. Every once in a while I'll panic and think, "I need to go be a Realtor.' But that's not what I want to do."
Jarow, an assistant professor in the Department of Religion at Vassar College, began doing his Anti-Career workshops in 1988, just before the recession of the early '90s. He had noticed that people were developing rich inner lives that weren't carrying over to their work lives. He developed the program to help people find their true calling, the work they love, not just the next bullet point on their resume.
"The economy will always go through cycles, but we have something in us that is greater than that and that wants to be more than a servant to faceless institutions.
"If one is just looking for a job, that is tantamount to going through the bazaar with your begging bowl, your diploma, as so many people are doing in this job market. It demeans the spirit. So the first question is, what will make it all right for me, what is important, what do I need to do with my life?"
Konowitch believes the tapes have supported her decision to be patient and look for the job she really loves. Prior to Sept. 11, she noticed a disconnect between her work life and her more spiritually developed life away from work, and began attending meditation retreats and doing coursework in hakomi, body-centered psychotherapy. Since her job loss, she has deepened her meditation practice, is taking courses in holistic leadership and is waiting for a position that will help her combine her extensive work experience with her interests.
"Choosing to go this direction with tapes and chakras isn't mainstream, but I didn't want to go to a career counselor and take an assessment test . . . the same route everyone else goes. These tapes give me the courage to forge my own path."
And that's a good attitude to have, says Roth.
"When people come from fear that there is nothing out there, that the economy is terrible, that there are no jobs, they aren't going to see the whole situation."
Like the traditional job search, the holistic approach can take several months. Unlike the traditional job search, however, it involves a lot of inner work.
"This is not an airy-fairy process," notes Jarow. "We are hard-headed and practical, but also visionary and spiritual. That is why we work with the principle of "alignment,' work on the whole person - sense of self, relationships, focus, network, vision, sense of where you belong, and the market as well."
And that's work Konowitch is willing to undertake. "I've done a lot more personal work since the first time I tried the program. It takes a lot of discipline and work. It's hard, but I'm willing to do it because I believe it's going to ultimately fulfill me."
In particular, she finds working with the second chakra to be a big help in her pursuit of a career. "The second chakra is a lot about self-esteem. When you find yourself out of a routine and not working, the whole world feels a little unstable. Doing the work helps me realize that I really can go out into the world and explore what I want to do."
And while she is sending out resumes and pursuing interviews, Marla sees the real progress as being more personal than professional.
"Measuring progress in this program is not linear, it's not conventional. It's more about an internal feeling of happiness, contentment and freedom. The temptation is to measure it by dollars or more conventional methods of success, and this is trying to look at it from a different way."
And that's exactly why books such as Boldt's "Zen and the Art of Making a Living" are being used by academic institutions. According to Stacy Geck, assistant professor of clinical at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, Boldt's book was included on the syllabus for her class because "The book offers business students a challenge to think of their career path from a different angle: spiritual rather than just financial."
"Every day is the right day to do it," says Coyne." "You can't blame terrorists or the Fed for not doing what you really want to do. That doesn't mean you shouldn't support yourself.
"It would be foolish to counsel somebody to not make ends meet. But you can become really depressed if you think you have to take something, anything."

State Justices Fire Lawyer Watchdog
The Michigan Supreme Court has fired the head of the agency that pursues lawyers suspected of misconduct.
Robert Agacinski is out as administrator at the Attorney Grievance Commission.
In a statement Friday, the Supreme Court says it wants to ``improve operations'' at the Detroit-based commission and ``speed the resolution of pending cases.'' The court didn't elaborate on the problems.
Messages seeking comment were left for Agacinski. He was administrator since 2000. He's been a lawyer for 42 years.
Commission Chairwoman Barbara Smith declined to comment on the court's action, although she says she doesn't believe investigations move too slowly.

SPRING HILL – Springstead decided not to renew the supplemental contract of girls soccer coach Polo Furlong for the next school year, instead hiring Scott Wern to take the reins of the program heading into the 2011-12 season.
Furlong, who led the Eagles for the past six seasons, had just guided Springstead to its best campaign, advancing to the region semifinals after a win over Plant City. He compiled 91 wins and five playoff appearances in his tenure. He also led the Eagles to three district titles.
This will be Wern's first high school coaching experience. His daughter Renee is a rising junior defender for Springstead.

The host of NBC's "Meet the Press," David Gregory, will not be arrested or charged with a crime for waving what he claimed was a high-capacity ammunition gun clip on national television last month.
D.C. attorney general Irvin B. Nathan announced his decision Friday afternoon by releasing a letter to an attorney for NBC. Nathan wrote that though the device Gregory held up "meets the definition" of the criminal statute, he wrote that prosecution "would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust."

Nov. 2, 2012
By Adam K. Moussa
On the football field, linebacker Curt Maggitt uses his instincts, discipline and determination to target and take down opposing ball carriers.
Interestingly enough, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound sophomore relies on a similar set of skills to get his mind off of the gridiron, and pursue a lifelong passion for the outdoors.
"Outside of football, my main hobby is hunting wild hog and deer," said Maggitt. "When life gets super stressful, that's my escape. But, I also think that there are a lot of parallels between hunting and playing ball. In both, you have to be willing to wait, anticipate moves and take advantage of opportunity when it comes around."
And while the West Palm Beach, Fla., product's primary pastime requires a tremendous amount of patience, Maggitt's approach to pigskin has proven to operate at a much faster pace.
"Curt came in last year and made an immediate impact on the team," said Maggitt's roommate, friend and fellow linebacker AJ Johnson. "He's a ferocious hitter who plays very fast and has a knack for finding the football. Curt is a great guy to be around, and he and I constantly push ourselves to be the best that we can be."
Last year, the dreadlocked duo of Johnson and Maggitt fueled each another to becoming the first true freshmen to start at linebacker in Tennessee's storied history.
"During our time here, we have really become brothers," Maggitt said of his relationship with Johnson. "When we came in together as freshmen, we said that we wanted to become two of the best linebackers in school history. We got out to a pretty good start last year, but we know that we still have a long way to go to accomplish that goal."
Throughout his first season on Rocky Top, Maggitt made appearances in 11 of UT's 12 outings, accounting for 56 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one forced fumble, marks that earned the middle linebacker SEC All-Freshman accolades and Phil Steele Freshman All-America honors.
This season as a sophomore, Maggitt has followed up his award-winning rookie campaign by accumulating over 21 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles, all while battling nagging foot and shoulder injuries.
"Curt's played the whole season banged up. But, he's a true competitor, so regardless of the bumps and bruises, he's going to go out there and give it his all," said Johnson. "Whether it's on the football field or shooting shotguns, Curt wants to be the best at whatever he does. When he sets his mind to accomplish something, he doesn't make any excuses or let anything stand in his way; he just goes and gets it."
"When we came to The Hill together, we said that we wanted to leave as two of the best linebackers in Tennessee history, and he's had to overcome a lot in pursuit of that goal. But, I think that if he stays on the path that he's on right now, he'll have a pretty legit shot at it."

damp basement
Hi to all from a nube and thanks for your help
I am wanting to install cork flooring in my basement , but am concerned about concrete dampness.
Can I put poly vaper barrier over the floor and up the out side walls to help in this area??
Thanks john
Advice from Ameri-Dry Guy
Yes, you can always put down some sort of plastic/poly or even go to the extent of a drain board, which you can find at any Home Depot ask a flooring expert and they can tell which would suit your needs.
A standard underlayment should be sufficient for this.

Gesture-Based Email Gets Rid Of Inbox Clutter [Video]
A mobile app that treats mail like a to-do list to quickly organize all folders and messages.
From the makers of the successful to-do app Orchestra, comes an app that can change the way we organize the clutter in our inboxes. The newly launched application, simply called 'Mailbox,' is an intuitive and compact version of other e-mail clients.
The app uses basic gesture commands to put incoming mail into three categories: 'do nothing' to leave the e-mail in the inbox, 'short swipe' what you want to archive for later, and 'long swipe' to delete. Mailbox also performs like any other apps, with functions like reply, forward, CC, etc.
The main idea behind Mailbox is to treat e-mails like to-do lists and thus, derives some of its concepts from Orchestra. Mailbox is currently in closed beta and will be available for iPhone and Android phones in the new year. Watch the video below for a demonstration:

The good news: loan rates will remain at 3.4% for another year, rather than jumping to 6.8 %.
The change should help more than 7 million students like Auburn University Montgomery Senior Cheryl Love save an average of $1,000 on each on their loans.
"It's going to help a lot of students continue their education," Love said.
Effective July 1, prospective or current graduate students will no longer receive subsidized Stafford loans: those interest free ones while you are in school.
Phones have been ringing off the hook at AUM's Financial Aid Office with students trying to determine how this will affect their wallet.
Now only unsubsidized loans will be available for grad students at a 6.8% interest rate that will kick in as soon as the loan is disbursed. The amount of the loan will not change.
Other changes include lowered income limit for the expected family contribution number on your FAFSA, which will cut funding from many lower income students. And no more repayment incentives.
AUM's Financial Aid Director Anthony Richey says 75% of AUM students get these loans.
"It is going to be a little tougher. The interest is going to be a little higher, the total amount of the loan is going to be a little higher when they get out," Richey said.
Other changes include the elimination of interest subsidy for grace periods and decreased eligibility for the Pell Grant Program.
"I think a lot will be disappointed to see that their Pell grant will be limited," AUM Junior Shelisia Carpenter said.
Carpenter says these new changes are discouraging, especially for students like her who work part-time and are trying to make ends meet.
"Trying to make a living and trying to afford college is tough," Carpenter said.
These changes will not affect past loans in any way. The new changes are for any loans disbursed after July 1. These changes will affect many students in the Fall.

Jennings, who strained a groin late in the season-opening game against San Francisco and was held out of the Chicago game, got through the Seattle contest but aggravated the injury in the first half last weekend against New Orleans.
Rather than have the injury be an ongoing issue, Jennings is prepared to rest the injury until it's 100 percent.
"However long it takes, so I won't have to sit and answer these same questions again," Jennings said on Wednesday. "We don't know what the timetable is. All I know is we're going to take it one day at a time and hopefully it gets better before Sunday, but odds of that happening, they're odd."
Jennings caught a touchdown pass against the Saints but said he aggravated the injury "far before" scoring with 14:15 remaining in the second quarter.
"Gotta be smart now," Jennings said. "To me, honestly, that's where my frustration starts. Be a tough guy – not so much being a tough guy – you just want to go out there and play. There's a difference between being smart with it and being kind of ignorant. First time, OK, we try to be smart, can get through it. Seattle, got through it. Still felt some pain, whatever, made it through the entire game. Sunday, couldn't make it, just couldn't make it. Tweaked it on a play and came back the next series, and tried to continue. And I remember telling a couple of the guys, 'I'm not going to be able to finish.' I knew I wasn't going to be able to finish, so now it's just a matter of being smart.
"I can't keep having that up and down – I'm in one game, out the next, not sure one game, good the next – I can't keep doing that to myself or the team. That being said, I'm just going to wait until I get 100 percent back healthy and then we'll see 85 back out there."
Packers injury report
Did not participate: WR Greg Jennings (groin); S Sean Richardson (hamstring). Limited: DT Ryan Pickett (shoulder). Full: CB Davon House (shoulder); S M.D. Jennings (neck).
No longer listed on the report is James Starks, who hasn't played this season since suffering turf toe in the second preseason game. "I had a chance to visit with James Starks after practice and really the conversation we had is I really want him to push it," coach Mike McCarthy said. "He's been able to get through a couple weeks of practice. I don't know if he's going to pain-free all year. But this is the week that we want him to try to really, really push through it and see if we can get him involved."
Colts injury report
Did not participate: CB Vontae Davis (ankle); CB Justin King (groin); RB Mewelde Moore (ankle); G Seth Olsen (knee); G Joe Reitz (knee). Limited: LB Pat Angerer (foot); TE Coby Fleener (head); C Samson Satele (knee). Full: LB Dwight Freeney (ankle).
Four-point stance
— Mike Neal returned to practice after a four-game suspension. "Had a chance to watch Mike Neal a lot today," McCarthy said. "He looks to be in great shape. He wasn't winded at all. Fresh legs. He had a good practice, I'd like to watch the tape with the coaches and then we'll watch him again tomorrow. I think tomorrow's padded practice will give us a better indication where he is."
We'll have more on Neal later.
— Absent from the injury report is quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who missed a play against the Saints after getting fingered in the eye. He said his eye is fine and he'd "never" wear a visor for added protection.
— McCarthy said special teams was consistently the team's best phase of the game unit during the first quarter of the season. A major focus will be getting the turnover ratio back up to standards. The Packers, perennially at or near the top of the ledger, are minus-1.
— The Colts are coming off their bye week, which will have the Packers on-guard. "They've had an opportunity to evaluate their team after three weeks, so the unscouted look emphasis for us is still heightened going into this game," McCarthy said. "It's something that you see the first couple of weeks of the season and, usually by the fourth or fifth week of the season, you feel like teams are starting to play to certain identities and certain schemes, but this team is coming off a bye week so we're preparing for usual looks and deceptives and things like that."

I took my family to Myrtle Beach, SC this past weekend for an annual trip with three other families. Since I am licensed in NC I printed off the state specific info on SC to make sure I follow all the appropriate rules for SC. Thanks to HandGunLaw.us for the excellent site.
After a long day at the beach I took a short nap and awoke to my wife asking where the closest drug store was located because in the rush to get out of the house for the trip she neglected to pack all her cosmetics. At the hotel we had parked in parking garage which is quite a big challenge considering we have a large SUV. She did not want to deal with taking the vehicle so she was going to take a walk to the drug store.
I figured I could get a few brownie points so I volunteered to drive her so we head off to the local Rite-Aid which was only a few blocks away. I park the vehicle in an almost empty lot and settle back in for another cat nap as my wife indicates I will make it quick, which for her means around 15 minutes. Im in the drivers seat with the doors locked and the vehicle turned off. Now an important footnote for the story ... all my vehicle windows (except the front windshield) are completely black. I have had them all limo tinted so they are dark as can be.
Now obviously my SA was in white at the time because I was in-fact sleeping in the car. In my half daze nap I hear a noise at the drivers side door. Because of the way I am sitting my head is about 6 inches from the window. I open my eyes and standing less than a foot from my head is another man as he is trying to open my door. Remember he cannot see anything in my vehicle. My first thought is what the heck this guy is trying to steal my vehicle and I am in it. I immediately sit up in the seat and sweep my t-shirt over my IWB holster to make ready access to my Glock 26 in the event this situation escalates and he has a weapon. I then think what if I am getting car jacked are there other BGs who have the drop on me. I quickly look in my rear view mirror and am OK from behind. I sweep my eyes to the right side mirror and am OK from the right and now I see right over the right side mirror an IDENTICAL vehicle to my own.
This all happens in a matter of seconds. Now seeing the other identical vehicle I was able to process the fact that this poor guy was just trying to get in his car and mistook mine for his. I wasnt sure what to do next as I did not want to scare him by announcing my presence but after another 10 seconds of him messing with his key in my lock I rolled down my window slightly and said Sir I believe your car is over there. Now as soon as the window started to roll down this guy turned completely white. He apologized and embarrassingly walked to his vehicle. I am almost certain he had to throw away his underpants when he got home.
This event completely reinforced for me that not all situations are as they appear to be. Hopefully some others will glean the same from the post.

Serve simple, quality dishes for dinner tonight by taking inspiration from French bistros. You can easily make this cuisine at home, relying on readily available ingredients and cooking methods that are not fussy. Using your grill, oven, or crockpot, you'll be able to recreate the dishes available on bistro menus at home. While you're picking up the ingredients necessary for the 7 recipes found here, be sure to grab a baguette or two, and if desired, a bottle of wine for a true home bistro experience.
1. Coq au Vin
If you needed any proof that bistro food can easily be made at home, look no further than Whole Foods' recipe for coq au vin made in the crockpot. After quickly browning both the chicken and bacon, you'll put everything in the crockpot where it will cook for 6 to 7 hours. It yields 4 to 6 servings.
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 slices bacon, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 (12-ounce) package white or baby bella mushrooms, quartered
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1½ cup red wine
- 2 large sprigs fresh thyme
Directions: Arrange chicken on a large sheet of waxed paper. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly coat chicken all over with flour and set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until golden and just crisp, 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and set aside. Discard drippings and wipe out skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons butter (or heat oil, if using) in same skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large plate as done and set aside.
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter or oil in same skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until edges begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots, onions, garlic, and salt and cook until vegetables just begin to soften. Transfer vegetables and broth to crock pot. Arrange chicken on top. Sprinkle bacon over chicken. Add wine and thyme sprigs. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
Recommended wine pairings: Because you're cooking with red wine, one of the traditions of this dish is apparently to drink the rest of what you're cooking with—great advice if you've got a great bottle. If not, try a medium-weight red such as a Pinot Noir from Oregon or California: We're partial to a 2012 Ombré Pinot Noir, which has glossy fruit flavors.

Jersey Shore's Jwoww Models Her New Bikini Line [Photos]
Nobody wants a bad tan line and now that Jwoww has been surgically 'enhanced' she is definitly showing it off!!!
Nobody wants a bad tan line and now that Jwoww has been surgically 'enhanced' she is definitly showing it off!!!
Ever since her debut on MTV's Jersey Shore, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's life has been pretty public (for all to enjoy) so it's no surprise that her most recent tweets have been broadcasting her rapid 18 pound slimdown to her goal weight of 98 lbs and she's looking pretty hot.
The Fitch vs. The Sitch battle, started back in August when retail store Abercrombie & Fitch offered Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino money to stop wearing their clothes, continues to rage on. A&F filed a motion to dismiss the charges brought to them by the 'Jersey Shore' star who claimed the brand stole trademarked phrases from him by using them in t-shirts that mocked him.
So, Britney Spears is still on tour, and once again, Pauly D is the recipient of a 'lap dance'. I wonder if Pauly D's contract stated that she had to do him a 'favor?'
Well apparently Vinny believes music is the way to a women's heart............I don't think its with this song though. Vinny wants his new mix tape 'Rack City Mix' to possibly be his next so called hit mix, but something tells me he just lost a ton of fans.
Even though most of us know deep down inside that our favorite "reality" shows aren't that "real" at all, we usually play along and roll with the theatrics and the antics of our favorite reality show cast members. MTV's Jersey Shore is one of the more "realistic" shows, being that you probably have friends that live lifestyles that are very comparable
On the 'Jersey Shore' finale, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino continues to find himself alienated from the rest of the cast for his continual drama. So, he tells Snooki that he's thinking about leaving the show.
So apparently, Deena from MTV's 'Jersey Shore' isn't just a walking blast who's always down for a little girl-on-girl action. According to this video, she also has her sights set on being a singer. Who knew Deena had it in her? Thoughts?!
If DJ Pauly D knows one thing, it's tanning right? Pauly D is creating his own line of tanning products, to be sold in high end tanning salons this winter...
'Jersey Shore' doesn't just rot brains — it drains tax coffers, too.
MTV's hit reality show, which depicts the exploits of a group of raisin-tanned 20-somethings as they live and party along the New Jersey coastline, has just had $420,000 of its 2009 production costs covered by the state's Economic Development Authority.

The Incredible Brilliance of Might & Magic (VI)

Glad someone else likes MM6. I'm more of a MM3-5 guy myself but of the "modern" MM games, 6 is by far my favorite.
I love the Tomb of Varn, the seemingly never-ending spawn of dragons in the bombed out wastes out west, the true end boss fight (The only other true end boss fight in a MM game was 4, IMO) MM6 doesn't have the alignment play of 7 or the imaginative races of 8, but it does have the best dungeons and the most incredibly outlandish fights.
I probably think of the last boss fight with the queen differently than most, since I never use blasters and refuse to learn the skill. I do it old school style: Shrapmetal and dual swords.
It's also one of my go-too games when I'm bored with the ho-hum new stuff. Right now I'm playing a lot of Morrowind with the new overhaul mod.

This is my last blog of the year. Many thanks to all of you for taking the time to read my ramblings. Herewith twelve personal highlights from a fascinating, fun and fast-moving year in Sweden:
- January saw the first of many Ministerial visits this year. Lord Green, our Business Minister came for a big meeting on smart grids and renewable energy, one of many trade and investment sectors linking the UK and Sweden;
- February involved a two-day visit by Prime Minister David Cameron, here to attend the second Northern Future Forum, bringing together PMs and policy experts from the UK and the Nordic-Baltic countries, this year looking at the challenges and opportunities of an ageing society and how to get more women into the workforce.
- March was a particular highlight, with Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, spending three days in and around Stockholm, looking at social integration, education, architecture, climate change, renewable energy and sustainable agriculture. All areas where our governments, businesses and societies are working together.
- April saw me in Gothenburg for a great event with British and Swedish business leaders and sportspeople marking 100 days to go the London Olympics.
- May's highlight was my first visit to Malmö, an opportunity to meet local politicians, journalists and business people and to talk to students at the university of Lund about the UK and Europe.
- In June, we hosted two big receptions, one in partnership with the BBC and one with Brunswick, to mark The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, including a concert of English music from across the centuries. And it was a privilege to attend the centenary events for the Stockholm 1912 Olympics and to receive Stockholm's good wishes for the London games.
- July meant Almedalen and several days of sunshine and seminars in the glorious surroundings of Visby.
- August included a lovely week's break in Sandhamn, enjoying the splendours of the archipelago.
- September was visits season again, with the Head of the UK Civil Service coming to Stockholm to see how an Embassy works. Happily, he went away impressed!
- October saw two more excellent visits, by our Europe Minister, David Lidington and the Chief of the UK Defence Staff, Sir David Richards, talking respectively about the prosperity and security interests the UK and Sweden have in common.
- November saw England's footballers given the honour of inaugurating the new Friends Arena and of being spectators to an amazing display by Zlatan!
- December saw a British winner! Sir John Gurdon received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his ground-breaking research on reprogramming of cells. Work begun 50 years ago, which has led to stem cell research and the promise of cures which will benefit our grandchildren's generation. A forward-looking and cheerful note on which to end. Every best wish for a peaceful Christmas and prosperous New Year!

MAC Jeanius: The Blushes!
xx, Allison
26 comments:
love them both!!!ReplyDelete
I really like the look of the Pink Cult. I will have to try get a look at it when they come out in Ireland.ReplyDelete
Where did you take these photos (the white surface)? I keep trying out different places/surfaces to take photos for my blog, and still haven't found the perfect one.ReplyDelete
At first glance I wasn't crazy over it then at second glance I was in love with it. I don't know why but I think the way they designed the eyeshadows is adorable. Overall I am interested in trying most of this collectionReplyDelete
Pink Cult looks interesting, but I'm sort of disenchanted with MAC at this point. They need to quit releasing a new collection every ten minutes.ReplyDelete
overdyed looks a little like dollymix, is it similar?ReplyDelete
I would love to use the Overdyed color for an overdone dramatic, going out look. love the swatches :)ReplyDelete
oh my goodness. I LOVE that Overdyed blush. Beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Pink cult is gorgeous! Overdyed look lovely in your video :)ReplyDelete
I really want Pink Cult, but it's sold out every where :(ReplyDelete
I love Pink Cult and Overdyed. Overdyed would make a great spring color.ReplyDelete
Overdyed looks fab, must try it out :)ReplyDelete
Pink Cult looks good but I agree with Anna, they seem to be bringing out too many collections; it is overwhelming!ReplyDelete
I'd like to try the overdyed!ReplyDelete
actually here is my actual, new blog:ReplyDelete
please subscribe me :)
Would you mind posting about what you plan on buying from the new collections before they come out? I always seem to miss out on the popular colors because they are gone before I learn about them.ReplyDelete
Hope your surgery went well.ReplyDelete
Love the look of Pink Cult :) xReplyDelete
Overdyed looks really nice.ReplyDelete
Pink Cult looks kind of boring. I think you can only wear it if your skin is very light.
Gorgeous colors!ReplyDelete
I will get Pink Cult! Thats just an amzing colour!!ReplyDelete

It is the femme coture smooth gel liner ( you can find it at sally beauty supply) i got mine for about $6 it stays all day and is so smooth and creamy it comes in black brown and navy ~ i have navy and i love it you shold try it !! :)ReplyDelete
Pink Cult is GORGEOUS! I've been looking for a new blush recently...I might decide to try a cream formula, though. Still, they are both so amazing, and love the Jeanius collection overall, especially how cutely the eyeshadows are designed.ReplyDelete
the Pink Cult look really grey!ReplyDelete
i love the blushes, they look beautiful! i'm thinking of getting some new ones :)ReplyDelete

Destination Weddings in Door County
Featured Vendors
Who says a destination wedding has to be an international flight away? Couples don't have to go to another country for a wedding getaway, they simply need to travel to another county. Breathtaking scenery, an abundance of charming venues and unique options to relax and explore—that's just a start to the list of reasons couples host a destination wedding in Door County.
Deciding on Door County
Many to-be-weds have a connection with Door County, whether they grew up there or have fond memories of vacations past. Much of the county survived development pressure, so visitors (nearly 2 million annually) can explore 23,000 acres of public and preserve land, including five state parks. Travelers can also experience accommodations from quaint to posh, along with notable art galleries and fine dining restaurants.
Whatever their reason for choosing Door County, brides and grooms love how the intimate setting brings guests together. "Because it is such a small community, you're not staying in a huge hotel with 700 rooms," says Carrie Baldwin Smith of Door County Event Planners. "People are staying in one location, and all your friends are there. It's not just eight hours; it's about enjoying the weekend together."
Though they currently live in San Francisco, bride Brittany Schaefer and her husband Tom selected her hometown of Sturgeon Bay as their wedding destination because of the gorgeous waterfront venues (including their reception site, Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club), all within a five-hour drive for most of their guests. "Our guests loved making a weekend out of it, hanging out with friends and family," Schaefer says.
Bride Melissa Mann met husband Kent during a summer visit to Washington Island, where he grew up, and now they make the trip to what they consider their "special place" several times a year. Last summer they traveled from their home in Jacksonville, Fla., to host their wedding on the island. The couple held their ceremony at a family home before a tented reception outside Mann's Mercantile, the family's retail store. "You can get away from everything," Mann says. "It's the best place to relax and have a calm, quiet place to lay by the beach."
Waterfront Events
The 70-mile-long peninsula that makes up Door County boasts 300 miles of shoreline, bordered on the west by Green Bay, on the north and east by Lake Michigan. That means plenty of places to stretch out your towel (on any of 53 public beaches) and plenty of waterfront venues.
Schaefer and her husband's love of water, along with the fact that they got engaged at a marina, prompted them to choose a nautical-themed wedding, and Door County definitely delivered. "There was a beach to take pictures on, a yacht club for the reception that allowed us to arrive via boat, and beautiful water views," she says.
Water skiing, beach excursions and poolside dinners? Wedding planner Allison Kline of Sash & Bow in Little Suamico has planned wedding weekend events around all of these activities, and has even turned a rehearsal dinner into a two-hour sightseeing cruise.
Local Flavors
Door County maintains a lot of local flavor—cherry included. "The cherry is still definitely a hit in Door County," says Kim Jensen of Pink Bakery in Egg Harbor. Bursting with more than 2,000 acres of orchards, Door County is one of the top cherry-producing regions in the nation. Jensen's new favorite reception treat is a double-chocolate cherry cake pop. She's also baked the fruit in granola, pastries and scones for use in guest gift boxes.
Cherries aren't just for dessert, though. When catering weddings, Alexander's of Door County in Fish Creek uses the local favorite to flavor a vinegar barbecue-sauced salmon and to sweeten his glazed duck, says owner Bruce Alexander.
Mann incorporated some of the region's other culinary traditions into her wedding. For their rehearsal dinner, she organized an iconic Door County fish boil (with whitefish caught by local fisherman) at KK Fiske and The Granary in Washington Island, where the couple first met. "It was part of our wedding plan to make sure all the out-of-town guests were invited to the rehearsal dinner and to make it as 'Door County' as possible," she says.
Late-night reception food options come northwoods-style, courtesy of Kline, who sets up bonfires where guests can roast hot dogs, s'mores or pudgie pies (fruit-filled or meat and cheese sandwiches cooked in a pie iron over the fire).
Activities Abound
When hosting out of town guests, couples often provide information on Door County's highlights, offering tips on what to see and do in the area. Mann and her husband supplied their guests with a list of their 10 favorite things to do on Washington Island, which included hiking Mountain Tower for a view of the islands, getting coffee at Red Cup Coffee House and having a shot at Nelsen's Hall Bitters Pub, the oldest continuously operating bar in Wisconsin.
Along with exploring the Peninsula State Park by bike and discovering cute shops in Fish Creek, some of the Schaefers' guests visited the acclaimed American Folklore Theatre, an outdoor theater located in the woods.
Cherry- and apple-picking are consistent fan favorites, but with six local wineries, Door County grapes certainly deserve attention, too. Kline has planned a wedding among the rows of grapes, and also recommends arranging tours for guests.
Door County Trolley offers popular sightseeing tours of the county's best lighthouses and even a haunted trolley pub crawl. But the trolleys are also perfect for private transportation options; Schaefer loved using the trolley to transport her wedding party from the ceremony to the reception.
Time Well-Spent
The region provides perfect opportunities to relax and spend time with close friends and family in the days before the wedding. Mann's mother, for instance, treated Mann and the bridal party to a day of pampering at the Spa at Sacred Ground in Ephraim. "It was so peaceful, and the most relaxing day of the entire wedding week," Mann says.
Want to unwind outdoors? Chartered fishing trips, like those from First Choice Charters of Baileys Harbor, are popular excursions for groups of all sizes. Golfing at any of Door County's 11 scenic courses can be as much about the setting as the sport. Schaefer's guests hit the links at Sturgeon's Bay IdleWild Golf Course.
"Everyone had fun. Our families are adventurous and love outdoorsy stuff," says Schaefer. "Door County offered that to them."

When Is The Best Time To Travel To Vilnius, Lithuania?
Unless you are part eskimo, you will want to avoid the winter months. Vilnius, Lithuania is very cold from October until March and is not primte time for tourism.
On the otherhand, the best time to visit Vilnius, Lituania is June through August. During the summer months, Vilnius, Lithuania is really in its prime. During the summer months, weather in Vilnius, Lithuania is usually a comfortable 20-28 degrees celcius (68-82 Farenheit). Although summer rains and the occaisional summer thunderstorms are not unusal and you may experience some humidity the temperatures during the summer months are usually very comfortable.
At the same time, the summer months are times of many festivals. Summer is truely a delightful time to visit Vilnius, Lithuania
2 comments:
From the many, many times i have visited Vilnius since 1993, a lot were during the cold months between October and March - and quite a few in December/January and i have always enjoyed it. If you are prepared to endure some serious low temperatures, of course wearing a warm parka or something similar, then Vilnius in winter (especially around christmas time) can be very enjoyable too. It's not entirely uncommon for temperatures to drop to -20ºC or even below, but seeing the city all dressed up for the season adds a lot to the experience. Most winters do have a certain amount of snow, and roads and sidewalks may become a bit slippery.ReplyDelete
Winter may not be prime time, but can just as well be a truly delightful time to visit Vilnius, Lithuania.
Hi Theo:ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments. It is true. Some people do enjoy extreme cold. If you like cold, you will like Vilnius in the winter because Vilnius has extremely cold winters. Brrr.
I am not complaining, mind you. There are advantages. It is a lot easier to get a good table in a restaurant in the winter. :)

Topic Suggestion Description
View Topic Suggestion Disposition
Date submitted: April 20, 2012
- Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.
- Any procedure, surgery, medicine that would eliminate or greatly reduce the pain is requested.
I have suffered from severe ear aches, ears popping (people can hear them), pressure, and draining. These symptoms are nearly constant. In the past I went to ENTs, chiropractor, and had acupunture done. None worked. A few years ago went to the Mayo clinic and they put a name to it, palatal myoclonus. However, I was told there is no cure and only a 20% chance medicine could reduce some of the pain. Sleep is very difficult, and happends for 4 to 5 hourse a night only if a muscle relaxer and a sleeping pill are taken.
- Does your question include a comparison of different health care approaches? (If no, your topic will still be considered.)
- no
- If yes, explain the specific technologies, devices, drugs, or interventions you would like to see compared:
- What patients or group(s) of patients does your question apply to? (Please include specific details such as age range, gender, coexisting diagnoses, and indications for therapy.)
- Anybody that suffers from these spasams.
- Are there subgroups of patients that your question might apply to? (For example, an ethnic group, stage or severity of a disease.)
- Describe the health-related benefits you are interested in. (For example, improvements in patient symptoms or problems from treatment or diagnosis.)
- Describe any health-related risks, side effects, or harms that you are concerned about.
Appropriateness for EHC Program
- Does your question include a health care drug, intervention, device, or technology available (or likely to be available) in the U.S.?
- no
- Which priority area(s) and population(s) does this topic apply to? (check all that apply)
- EHC Priority Conditions (updated in 2008)
- Functional limitations and disability
- AHRQ Priority Populations
- Federal Health Care Program
- Describe why this topic is important.
- I'm not the only person who suffers from this. It would be beneficial for all people who suffer from these symptoms to have a resolution.
- What specifically motivated you to ask this question? (For example, you are developing a clinical guideline, working with a policy with large uncertainty about the appropriate approach, costly intervention, new research you have read, items in the media you may have seen, a clinical practice dilemma you know of, etc.)
- To live painfree from the constant discomfort and pain in my ears.
- Does your question represent uncertainty for clinicians and/or policy-makers? (For example, variations in clinical care, controversy in what constitutes appropriate clinical care, or a policy decision.)
- no
- If yes, please explain:
- I don't think so. A suggestion of meds was suggested but not hopeful, as only 20% chance it may help with some of the symptoms.
Potential Impact
- How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?
- I could live my life without nearly constant pain and or discomfort. To live without pain and be able to sleep at night for 7 to 8 hours without meds would be wonderful.
- Describe the timeframe in which an answer to your question is needed.
- I've already waited five years and the only progress made was that there is a name for the physical problems I've been experiencing. Unfortunately, there is not cure. So any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
- Describe any health disparities, inequities, or impact on vulnerable populations your question applies to.

Read about this in the OC Register today. Seems a couple of Los Angeles, CA carjacking experts got just a little too much to handle when attempting to take the car belonging to FBI agents. Yes sir, they attempted to hijack the FBI agents car when they were on a stake out. One BG is dead and the other is wounded.
Life is so unfair but on the bright side there are two BGs that wont harm someone else.

'I could eat a horse'! : meal planning determines meal size
Fay, S.H., Rogers, P.J., Ferriday, D., Shakeshaft, N.G., & Brunstrom, J.M. (2011) 'I could eat a horse'! : meal planning determines meal size. Appetite, 57(2), p. 547.
Accepted Version
(PDF 37kB)
Evidence that our food environment can affect meal size is often taken to indicate a failure of 'conscious control'. By contrast, our research suggests that 'expected satiation' (fullness that a food is expected to confer) predicts self-selected meal size. However, the role of meal planning as a determinant of actual meal size remains unresolved, as does the extent to which meal planning is commonplace outside the laboratory. Here, we quantified meal planning and its relation to meal size in a large-cohort study. Participants (N= 764; 25.6 yrs, 78% female) completed a questionnaire containing items relating to their last meal. The majority (91%) of meals were consumed in their entirety. Furthermore, in 92% of these cases the participants decided to consume the whole meal, even before it began. A second major objective was to explore the prospect that meal plans are revised based on within-meal experience (e.g., development of satiation). Only 8% of participants reported 'unexpected' satiation that caused them to consume less than anticipated. Moreover, at the end of the meal 57% indicated that they were not fully satiated, and 29% continued eating beyond comfortable satiation (often to avoid wasting food). This pattern was neither moderated by BMI nor dieting status, and was observed across meal types. Together, these data indicate that meals are often planned and that planning corresponds closely with amount consumed. By contrast, we find limited evidence for within-meal modification of these plans, suggesting that 'pre-meal cognition' is an important determinant of meal size in humans.

While many NFL teams are phasing out the fullback, the Packers keep adding to the position.
The Packers used the first of their fifth-round picks on Sunday on LSU's Quinn Johnson, who was regarded by scouts as the best blocker at the position in this draft class.
The 6-foot, 246-pound Johnson started four games in 2007, when LSU alternated Jacob Hester (now with the San Diego Chargers) between fullback and halfback. Johnson started 10 games in 2008, helping Charles Scott top 1,000 rushing yards.
Johnson is a powerful blocker who loves to hit people. He's a physical blocker rather than someone who uses his athletic ability to simply shield away the defender. That comes from being recruited to LSU to play linebacker by then-coach Nick Saban. When Saban left to coach the Miami Dolphins, Saban was replaced by Les Miles, who as Oklahoma State's coach tried to bring in Johnson to play fullback.
"I just love the contact," Johnson told reporters in a conference call. "It doesn't matter who it is. If you're in front of me, that's my job. I take my job very seriously."
Johnson joins a position manned by holdovers Korey Hall and John Kuhn. Both have been serviceable players who are decent blockers and receivers. Johnson, assuming his level of play carries over to the NFL, would provide more of a sledgehammer lead blocker who would help the Packers' power run game.
"The kid shows up with power and strength," Packers running backs coach Edgar Bennett said, lauding Johnson's aggressiveness and comparing his toughness to William Henderson.
Johnson didn't touch the ball very often for the Tigers. He rushed the ball 14 times for 28 yards and three touchdowns, so he does have some short-yardage potential. The Packers used Kuhn in that role occasionally last season. In two seasons, Johnson caught just five passes, though he said he's got good hands.
"Definitely. That's no problem," Johnson said of catching.
"I think he can catch," Bennett said. "I think he also showed some ability to run the football in certain situations, short yardage, goal line. He's shown to have all of those attributes." With his defensive background, Johnson has the potential to be a major contributor on special teams. The Packers' fullbacks, regardless of whether they're the starter, are expected to play special teams.
Johnson played at LSU with Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn and talked to him about the Packers before his pro day because Green Bay had shown strong interest at the Scouting Combine. He said he liked what he heard.
With perhaps more-pressing needs to fill, Bennett was pleased to get another talented player at a position in which the Packers were pretty solid already. "One thing about it, competition makes your team stronger," Bennett said. "To get a kid like this certainly will put us in a position to add another guy to the mix and compete."
