Sharing toast, tea and toilets is all part of the caravan adventure, writes Sonia Harford.
You can always spot the Brits. On a dismal, overcast Melbourne morning, James from East Sussex is bare-chested as he packs away his tent. Doesn't seem to feel the cold, even though he's just driven down from Queensland in an old red Commodore with a surfboard, a car fridge, a Canadian friend and some undies spilling out of a backpack.
At the Melbourne Big 4 Holiday Park in Coburg, owner Des Watts gets to see a fair few semi-dressed residents over the peak summer season.
It's all part of the forced intimacy of outdoor living and sharing amenities, as opposed to the privacy of motel stays.
As the park opens at 8am, four-wheel-drives, campervans and old cars queue at the boom gates to Mr Watts's two-hectare site. He checks to ensure that the counter staff are coping, then wanders out the back past stacks of folded linen and a droning dryer, and frowns as he approaches the day's first task - a gas bottle has been dumped next to the bin. He's sure it can be re-used, so he scoops it up mid-stride.
Picking up litter is like a nervous twitch - he stoops repeatedly to pick things off the grass as he walks and chats.
The glorious smell of toast in the air makes you want to move in right away and lounge around with the people in the annexe holding tin mugs of tea.
It's been a good year for Mr Watts, and in a few days he'll have up to 450 people bedding down on his 160 sites. "We're fuller than I expected even now, and there's a good atmosphere about the tourist industry. The domestic market is strong this year, and caravan sales were up," he says.
The rugby World Cup brought in the French, and he can always rely on an influx of British, Dutch and German tourists. The Asian market is growing, he says, particularly lone Japanese motorcyclists.
Perched in a Melbourne residential area, the holiday park has a slightly strange atmosphere. It was built in 1956 for the Olympic Games, but later converted to the holiday enterprise that Mr Watts bought five years ago. It's a cosy village of cabins, with a pool, playground and games room shaded by trees and shrubs. There's a huge power pole to remind you you're just 10 kilometres from the city centre, but there's also a pretty creek just over the fence, with graceful gum trees and bird song to accompany your tea and toast.
After 30 years in the business, Mr Watts has seen travellers' gear advance from stifling metal vans to a recent guest's $500,000 ensemble of Swagman van - complete with push-button swivelling tables and bed - Suzuki four-wheel-drive and custom-made trailer.
But for families on a budget who have outgrown a tent, the cabin has become the holiday home of choice - two to seven berths for around $100 a night.
While the cabins are doll's house-neat, the tents are more motley. Someone has hung sarongs over a branch, and washing is pegged all around and over one family's little circus of tents. While they slumber on, the detritus of a brood lies outside their tents: canvas chairs, bowls and cups set for breakfast, squeezy sauce bottles, a mouldy pillow and a string of tinsel.
Mr Watts totes his gas bottle all morning. Doing the rounds he nods a greeting here and there while keeping an eye out for the bored kid who's screaming around on his scooter. "Steady up, young fella," he says gently, but you get the feeling the former policeman can take a tough line with those who break the rules.
Surprisingly, he says, it's not often that carousing groups hold noisy parties until late, or drunks try to hop in the pool after closing time. It's the miserable types he doesn't care for.
"Sometimes you get a grumpy old couple and you wonder why they even left home. What do they want to do to the world? If I sense these things, I wouldn't put them next to, say, a family with five kids or a couple with what we call 'swish-bangs' (noisy sliding doors on vans)," he says.
Sport is the big drawcard for many of his guests. "We're event-generated. The tennis is great, the Grand Prix, and the football - particularly if the Crows are playing," he says.
For such a busy time, it's quite serene for much of the day - until happy camper hour. By 4pm, guests are uncorking wine and slicing cheese in their annexes, and welcoming a stranger in for a drink.
By the next morning, the earliest arrivals will be at the gate by 8am - ready to check in and share their toast with a Crows supporter or a surfie.

Rozsa Center
Energy will flow in the Rozsa Center when Michigan Tech's Superior Winds and Campus Concert Band join forces for their spring concert, with Nick Enz conducting.
MTU's student musicians, at the peak of their skills, will play a variety of fanfares, hymn tunes, marches, dances, symphonic excerpts, and even a Bach prelude and fugue. From Berlioz's "March to the Scaffold" from 'Symphonie Fantastique" to an arrangement of "Amazing Grace" and Henry Fillmore's "The Circus Bee," the concert celebrates the sounds and rhythms of woodwinds, brass and percussion, as well as the musicality of Michigan Tech's dedicated students.

Ratings for Dr. Venkata Evani
Trust him completely. His bedside manner is the best. I would trust my daughter to him. Would never use any other surgeon.
Dr. Evani took half of my thyroid out. He is the best doctor I have ever gone to. He listened when I told him I am the usually "the zebra." Turns out that my parathyroid was entangled in my thyroid!
Dr ventaka evani is a very good surgeon. He's very nice and knowledgable.he will explain everything and he will listen to your concern. If I rate dr evani alone I will rate him excellent. But the staff are terrible at 1300 n 12st suite 616 Phoenix az. They are rude and not helpful. Dr evani schedule me for surgery and he told his staff name Jennifer to find out the price so I can prepare the money since I don't have insurance and this lady told me she will call me the next day. Weeks passed by nothing no phone call from her I started call the office but they're no help no one in the office can help because every time I call Jennifer only tell the receptionist that she call me as soon as she gets the price. Until I missed my appointment. They don't care at all and I don't understand why they work that kind of job when they can't able to handle their job very well. I wish I can fire them all. So pissed with them because it like this dr but I can't stand with his staff.
Dr. Evani is the most caring and skilled surgeon. HE LISTENS. He is HUMAN, unlike the doctors I have been seeing in AZ. I do not want any more surgeries but if I did, there is no question I would have him as my surgeon. He is like no other doctor. HE CARES.I was so grateful for him that I sent a basket of fruit dipped in chocolate. It would have been nice to get a thank you from the receptionist when I asked if they enjoyed them. I guess I am expecting too much in this day and age.
Dr. Evani is without exception one of the best surgeons I have ever met. As a cancer survivor with multiple surgeries in my history, I can completely endorse Dr. Evani for his technical and social skills. I would not consider going anywhere else for surgical needs.
Do not get mesh put into your body for any reason, not even a hernia repair! It caused debilitating chronic pain for 3 years and finally had to be removed.. It caused the spermatic cord to tangle into a knot! Please do your research on the complications of mesh!
The doctor was knowledgeable but the staff was all over. Very disorganized. I decided to not have surgery because they are not good at returning phone calls.
I felt Dr. Evani was an excellent Dr. He listened to my questions and answered them all with care and concern. He explained everything as well as things I forgot to ask about. He talked me through the entire procedure and his assurance was comforting. I felt he was a great Dr..
I do not have the expertise to rate the surgical skills of any doctor, but I believe I am alive today due to Dr. Evani. In addition, he treated me with concern and respect at all times. He was available when necessary. His in-office nurses were helpful & caring as well. I have nothing but positive things to say about the doctor. His receptionist was a different story-impatient, rude, & dismissive.
I have never met a better doctor than Dr. Evani. He is so caring and comforting and listened to everything I had to say. He took out half my thyroid and did a great job. I thank God I found him.

Gap 3-strap platform sandals
I love it when to designers team up with retail stores that can fit a women's budget. Pierre Hardy did that with this shoe and want it sooo bad. It comes in burgendy, green, white, and caramel.
I have always felt a little uneasy about island platforms, I much prefer the covered platform, but these shoes just speak to me. The neutral color will go with anything. They are super hot.
Adorable for the summer It was included in Piperlime.com's Rachel Zoe's pick and it is currently a bestseller. Very stylish peep toe platform pump in a gorgeous silk zebra print

Provo • Offensive coordinator Brandon Doman said after Saturday's practice that identifying the two tight ends who can restore that position's rightful place in the BYU offense will be his primary task the next two weeks.
Little did he know that less than 30 minutes later the list of five candidates would be trimmed by one at least for the next month or so.
Sophomore Devin Mahina, battling with four others to be one of those two go-to guys, broke a bone in his right hand, post-practice X-rays revealed. Mahina is scheduled to have surgery on Sunday and will be out for three to five weeks.
Mahina was still recovering from a neck injury that forced him out all last season. Juniors Richard Wilson and Austin Holt suffered knee injuries last season that also caused them to miss spring camp, leaving junior Kaneakua Friel and then-undersized Marcus Mathews to finish the season.
If there's any consolation to Mahina's setback, it is that Mathews and Holt have seemingly emerged as the top two tight ends, although neither Doman nor tight ends coach Lance Reynolds would acknowledge as much this weekend.
"We've got some guys who are capable," Reynolds said. "The only real thing we can guarantee anybody is that we are going to play the best guys that we can. So it is up to them to be the best players they can be."
Said Doman: "It is going to be an interesting battle."
Without question, the position will be utilized more this season, after tight ends accounted for just 57 of the team's 262 receptions last year, and just four of its 28 touchdown catches. All-American tight end Dennis Pitta caught 62 passes alone for BYU in 2009, for 829 yards and eight touchdowns.
"Part of it was scheme; part of it was personnel," Doman said. "So I would say it is half-and-half issue that we were dealing with last year. We just couldn't get that position to be as productive as we wanted.
"I think we overshot the mark schematically early, and then [Holt and Wilson] got hurt. So a combination of those is what ailed us, or caused us to not be as good. But this year, the scheme provides a ton of catches for those guys. … The tight end-quarterback chemistry is not there right now. We got to get that going."
And fast. Which is difficult to do when clear-cut starters haven't emerged.
Mathews bulked up considerably in the offseason, and is now listed at 6-foot-4, 236 pounds. Three days into camp, he's gotten the most reps. While Mathews was considered a "flex tight end" last season, and always lined up in the slot, that description no longer applies, Doman said.
"They are all going to be called tight ends now," Doman said. "Marcus won't just be considered a flex guy. … Really, for this offense to be able to be what it needs to be, we need a guy that can do both."
That's Holt's mindset as well, and he hopes to show coaches that he's not just a blocking tight end. He said his knee is "100 percent healed" and doctors gave him total clearance a week before camp started. Both Wilson and Holt will wear knee braces all season, however.
"I really don't know for sure [who will be the top two guys]," Holt said. "Coach [Reynolds] came in and told Marcus and I that we would be running with the ones. He is moving the other guys around a lot with the twos. But who knows? We have a lot of talent, all of us. We have a lot of guys who can play, a lot of guys with starts under their belt."

EMU receives final report from U.S. Department of Education regarding handling of death of Laura Dickinson
YPSILANTI - Eastern Michigan University has received the final report from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) about its handling of the death of student Laura Dickinson in December 2006.
"We are carefully reviewing the report and determining what we need to do to fully satisfy any DOE concerns and take a proactive stance in the future," said Don Loppnow, Executive Vice President and Provost for EMU.
"In addition to affirming its preliminary findings, the Department of Education's final report provides an assessment of policy/procedure revisions and action steps taken by EMU to ensure compliance," said Ken McKanders, EMU's attorney.
The DOE final report does not include punitive action for EMU. The DOE report states that it refers its findings to the Department's Administrative Actions and Appeals Division (AAAD) for consideration of possible administrative action, such as fines.
The 26-page document restates each of the seven preliminary findings, evaluates EMU's response to each and provides a final determination for each response.
The seven findings included: failure to provide a "timely warning" in response to a homicide investigation of an on-campus student death; lack of administrative capability; lack of a timely warning policy; failure to properly disclose crime statistics; lack of adequate policy statements; failure to report all required statistics occurring on public property and in non-campus buildings and property; and failure to properly maintain the crime log.
The DOE final report states that the actions taken by EMU, including the revisions of policies/procedures, "should significantly correct and improve compliance with the Clery Act."
The final report also notes several concerns that include EMU's process of obtaining crime data from local police agencies; the specific listing of all Clery Act crimes in EMU's policies/procedures; EMU's updating of the DOE's Crime Statistics Web Site; and EMU's response to the August 2005 loss/theft of master keys.
Eastern Michigan University is a public, comprehensive university that offers programs in the arts, sciences and professions. EMU prepares students with the intellectual skills and practical experiences to succeed in their career and lives, and to be better citizens.

Reading, Editing, Chatting with Readers
I have been a voracious reader since grammar school. Those years were spent in a two-story, brick building that housed first grade through high school. By the age of 12, I had read almost every piece of fiction in the school library, the most memorable of which was Jane Eyre. Many years later, and fter becoming an empty nester, I returned to college, receiving my BA degree at the age of 56 and Master's degree two years later. I firmly believe one is never too old to go back to school.
I am a 21-year member of Romance Writers of America, and although I enjoy writing, my true love is editing and critiquing manuscripts and reviews. So far this year I've edited over 160 reviews by a variety of reviewers and critiqued a couple of manuscripts. Most of the jobs I held while a member of the Federal Civil Service dealt with writing – letters, newsletters, regulations, and procedural instructions. I'm currently working on a piece of women's fiction in a hit or miss fashion.
Married to a retired military man from Illinois, I have lived in exotic Thailand as well as Illinois, Mississippi, and Texas. I am a 6th generation Texan on one branch of my family tree, at the least a 3rd generation Texan on the other branches, and typically, am excessively proud of my heritage. I have worked in many career avenues but ended up a civil servant for the US Air Force. Fifteen years ago, my husband and I retired to the beautiful hill country of my native Texas where we plan to live forever. We have an adult son and his wife still living in Illinois.
My favorite past time activities are – you guessed it – reading and writing. I typically read at least four books a month, sometimes more. I also enjoy handwork such as knitting, crocheting, and embroidery. I was once an avid gardener, but now days do mostly container gardening. We are active in our church.
To me, LaVerne, has been a wonderful person to work with any time of the day or night when I needed a question or something answered. She is sweet and kind, and an inspiration to all of us. She always post nice things about people. I am glad I have had the opportunity to have her in my life. Cherokee
LaVerne is always quick to reply whenever I have a question. She is friendly and stays on top of the new reviews to be sure they get passed up the chain promptly. I am so thankful to her! Laurie
LaVerne has taught me to use a thesaurus. There are still times I find I am using the same word to describe something over and over again. But I swear I can hear her voice (a slight twang and sometimes with a nagging edge) asking me if I really need to use the word "realize" that many times.
I have also found I trust her judgment 100%. If I find myself having an issue with a review (such as stuck on whether to give it a 2 or 3 or even 4 Cup Rating), I can email her about the issue I am having and she somehow knows the right answer. She doesn't come out and say, "I heard that was a great book so give it a 4 Cup". Instead, she will help me by breaking down the storyline and having me dissect each major theme until I get my answer. She started out as my editor but she has also become my friend. Danielle
I will always remember my very first review experience with Coffee Time Romance. I was so nervous and intimidated due to the high standards Coffee Time Romance is known for as well as the level of quality and experience of reviewers already established. Needless to say, my hands were shaking and knees knocking...until I met LaVerne. This wonderful being coached me and guided me on not only my first review, but held my hand through all of them. Reviews are so important for readers as well as for authors and with LaVerne's mentoring, I graduated as a recipient of the prestigious Yank My Chain Award. I will always associate LaVerne with Coffee Time Romance Reviews. Her professionalism is only surpassed by her warmth and caring. Suspektme

Naylul Awtar Min Ahadith
Sayyidil Akhyar Sharh Muntaqa Al-AkhbarAuthored By:
Al-Imam Ash-ShawkaniTahqiq By: Muhammad Salim HashimHardback 2842 Pages (5 Volumes )Published by Dar Al Kotob Al-Ilmiyyah
About the Book:Naylul Awtar Min Ahadith Sayyidil Akhyar Sharh Muntaqa Al-Akhbar
which translates as The obtainment of the objective. The explanation of The
Chosen Reports from the Master of Good is an explanation of an earlier book
produced by Sheikh ul Islaam Al Mujtahid Abu Barakaat Shaykh Al Hanaabilah Majd
Ad-Deen Abdis Salaam ibn Abdillah known as: Ibn Taymiyyah Al-Kabeer. He is not
to be confused by his grandson Ibn Taymiyyah. He was born in the year 509 After
Hijrah. He was known for his incredible fiqh, piety, and honesty.
This book covers all aspects of Islam. Throughout the book one can see the
incredible understanding of the deen Imaam Ash-Shawkaani had. In almost all
issues he will quote the opinions of all of the Aimmah of this Ummah, including
some Shiaa opinions. He does not restrict himself to the four madha-hab. He is
not afraid of delving into controversial issues. He almost always quotes the
thaahiri stances, as well as many of the Zaydi stances. He explains the meanings
of words by using classical shir (poetry) and dictionaries of old. In fact you
see that he uses Al-Qaamoos in defining all of the words that may be labelled as
vague or metaphorical. He delves into the sciences of hadeeth such as jarh wa
taadeel (criticism and praise) of the men in the chains. Many times he will
state the Raajih or correct opinion according to his personal ijtihad. Other
times, he refrains from forming a conclusion and prefers to take the path of
caution (such as his commentary regarding the chapter of nasheeds and
entertainment etc.).About the Author:Muhammad Ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Abdullaah
As-Shawkani, the surname 'ash-Shawkani' is derived from Hijrah ash-Shawkan,
which is a town outside San'a. Born into a Zaydi Shi'a Muslim family, ash-Shawkani
later on called for a return to the textual sources of the Quran and hadith. He
viewed himself as a mujtahid, or authority to whom others in the Muslim
community had to defer in details of religious law. Of his work issuing fatwas,
ash-Shawkani stated 'I acquired knowledge without a price and I wanted to give
it thus. Part of the fatwa-issuing work of many noted scholars typically is
devoted to the giving of ordinary opinions to private questioners. Ash-Shawkani
refers both to his major fatwas, which were collected and preserved as a book,
and to his 'shorter' fatwas, which he said 'could never be counted' and which
were not recorded.
He is credited with developing a series of syllabi for attaining various ranks
of scholarship and used a strict system of legal analysis based on Sunni
thought. He insisted that a jurists who wanted to be a mujtahid fī'l-madhhab (a
scholar who is qualified to exercise ijtihad within a school of Islamic law),
was required to do ijtihad, which stemmed from his opposition to taqlid for a
Despite his Shi'ite background, he is regarded by many as a revivalist and has
influenced contemporary Islamic movements in the Muslim world such as the Ahl-i
Hadith and Salafi Movement . His legal decisions and discussions are frequently
used in contemporary debate among Muslim scholars. Allama Shawkani died in the
year 1255 A.H.Some of the many books he wrote are:
* Nayl al-Awtar
Fath al-Qadir
* al-Badr at-tali
* Tuhfatu al-Dhakirin - Sharh Uddatu Hisna al-Haseen: a superb one volume

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 21.0234 Thursday, 10 June 2010
Date: June 8, 2010 5:02:21 AM EDT
Subject: 21.0226 Hamlet's Feminine Endings
Comment: Re: SHK 21.0226 Hamlet's Feminine Endings
You are not wrong about sonnet 87: though the -ing endings ring in the final couplet with a King (aching)? and waking, though their rimes are er's.
And sonnet 26 has 6 including a feminine final couplet. 28 has 4 including fc. neither is specifically gender oriented. Other fem couplets are 33 + 111.
Sonnet 3 on the other hand the entire first quatrain is fem lines. may have st to do with his mother.
Sonnet 11 has 4 and mistress nature may have some hand in this.
Maybe the fresh numbers in sonnet 17 influence the number of fem lines of which there are 2.
Interesting are the sonnets dealing with the triangle affair 40-43. Sonnet 40 has 4 fem endings in 2nd quatrain. You could force 2 into the 2nd quatrain of 41 by voicing the -ed endings. 42 is clearly referring to her and her doings in the 2nd quatrain and has 6 fem endings. And the -ed endings in 1st quatrain of 43 must be stressed making 2 fem endings.
Sonnet 88 has 4 fem endings but then it talks of weakness, the very thing a fem ending does.
Granted there are plenty of pairs of fem rime words scattered through the series which do not point to gender. (leisure pleasure broken open spirit merit smother other etc. 113 has 2. 114 has 4. 115 2. 116 2. Does this have significance? were they done around the same time? They do tie together in argument. though 116 gets all the attention.
118 2nd quatrain is all fem. 119 has 6 spread over 2 quatrains. 120 has 4. and even an embedded double one in lines 11 + 12.
And soon to you, as you to me then tend'red (fem ending)
The humble salve,(fem ending from as to salve) which wounded bosoms fits!
121 has 4.
124 has 2. does unfather'd count as gender pointing?
125 has 2 and in 126 Nature again gets her own riming fem couplet!
The Mistress sonnets have 2 fem endings and because of the subject matter gender implications in 131, 132 and 133. The spacious joke of line 5 in 135 is feminine.
141 142 and 144 all contain a pair of fem endings. the latter being a female evil. then skip to 151's treason and reason. and finally 6 fem endings in sonnet 152. in which the thee he accuses is a she. Or not if we don't carry the narrative through and accept them as individual poems.
So is there an argument to be made for accepting gender into the use of feminine lines?
Funnily enough sonnet 150, if you accept the original punctuation as the closest to authorial, makes it the only truly end-stopped masculine line sonnet with an intact structure of 4, 4, 4, 2, in the entire series. Every other sonnet has it's verse structure interfered with in some manner. But then again maybe that was the point of these sonnets in the first place.

Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - Senate Republican Whip Don Nickles says the Shays-Meehan campaign finance bill to be considered by the Senate this week cannot be stopped.
"It's going to pass. It's going to pass very quickly," the Oklahoma Republican said on "Fox News Sunday."
Opponents of the bill had hoped to offer amendments that would force it back to a House-Senate conference committee, where the proposal could be amended or killed.
"It's going to pass, and it will pass without amendments. I think there probably should be some amendments, but the votes aren't there," Nickles added.
That having been said, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle is still preparing for a fight.
"If we have a filibuster, we're gong to do it around the clock, beginning on Wednesday, because I need to get this done by Friday," Daschle, said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"I believe we will get it done, either the easy way or the hard way, but it will be done by Friday," he added.
Nickles also criticized some of the Washington-based advocacy groups that have been weighing in on the bill.
One such group is Common Cause, which came under fire during the House debate over the bill when opponents learned that employees of the group had actually written portions of the legislation.
Common Cause has been running radio advertising in the home states of senators opposed to the bill, such as this one, directed at Arkansas Republican Sen. Tim Hutchinson.
"It shouldn't take courage to change a system that allows corporations and unions to make unlimited donations. But it does," the announcement claims.
"This week, the Senate can pass the McCain-Feingold [Shays-Meehan] law that will end these unlimited political contributions. It's almost ready to go to the President. But it will take courage to shut down the machine that brings so much money to politicians," the ad continues.
"But Senator Tim Hutchinson doesn't support reform yet. Call Senator Hutchinson and ask him to support McCain-Feingold [Shays-Meehan]," the Common Cause ad concludes.
Nickles says it's ironic that Common Cause is supporting the bill using a tactic that would be banned if Shays-Meehan becomes law.
"I'm bothered right now that the proponents of campaign finance are running ads ... using soft money, saying vote for this bill," he said. "That bothers me."
The Shays-Meehan bill (also known as "McCain-Feingold," for the two original Senate co-sponsors) contains a ban on using the name of a federal candidate in broadcast advertising 60 days prior to a general election and 30 days prior to a primary or runoff election in the media market where the candidate is running.

Ash Bolland for MTV Exit Foundation
Former Umeric director Ash Bolland delivers a punch in the gut for the MTV Exit Foundation, airing in 68 countries to further awareness of human trafficking and child exploitation. Canadian band Simple Plan crowd-sourced the lyrics for the emotional track 'This Song Saved My Life' from fans on Twitter as part of the campaign.
The project will also be shown at pop-up open-air screenings in villages across Asia to communicate to children who are most at risk.
Bolland: "Our little film will help kids understand these factories are not the golden ticket they are lead to believe. Matt from MTV EXIT tells me it's very moving when you see 800 plus kids at a pop up screening, eyes wide open watching the screen."

Intimacy, kitsch, sexuality, and subculture are integral themes of Robert Melee's work. Taking his relationship to his outlandish mother as his subject, Melee's photos, videos, installations, and performances blur the boundaries between private life and theatre. Using lurid 70s furniture Melee's Units 1 & 2 provide a stage of eccentric domesticity: lined with personal photographs and home videos they display the mementos of his unorthodox family. Entrenched in queer culture, Melee's work is a celebration of difference, revealing an alternative lifestyle with endearing and unabashed candour.
Making the most of embarrassment, Robert Melee's Self Portrait encapsulates all the cringe-worthy sentiments of family photography. Inlaid within a multi-window frame, the same image of Melee's face is replicated in each space: dull-eyed, bad haircut, painstakingly self-conscious. Reminiscent of Warhol's multiples, Melee offers his portrait as both icon and keepsake, magnifying the nakedness of personal disclosure as a generic and empty sentiment.
When it comes to humiliating mother stories, Robert Melee wins hands down. In his photo tribute Mommy, Melee enshrines the best and the worst of his nearest and dearest: mum boozing, in the bath, as sex kitten, cabaret diva, and Madonna with her adult naked son on her lap. In portraying his maman in all her overwhelming glory, Melee exposes a familial melodrama of Sweet Baby Jane proportions, offering a heart-wrenchingly honest portrait of mother-son love, and all its resplendent dysfunction.
Throughout Melee's work is a flirtation between reality and fantasy: family photographs look like film stills, scenarios appear scripted, and people seem as grotesque caricatures playing out clichéd roles. Using life-as-stage, Melee's work expounds relational dysfunction, drawing the viewer as hostage-voyeur into the entangled drama. With positions firmly drawn, each party plays up to expectation, identity is validated and aggrandised through co-dependence, and all are drawn into the tragic-comic pantomime. In Smoking, random snapshots of the artist and his mother sucking fags are framed as out-takes of a life; glamourised and forgotten footage from a sad, camp movie lovingly dredged from the archive, begging for one last applause.
Mommie queerest
By Jerry Saltz
Robert Melee at Andrew Kreps Gallery
I don't know if Robert Melee's sensationalistic, exploitive humiliations of his mother count as good art. They may be nothing more than neo-Pop fluff with a Freudian twist. Yet Melee takes the under-visited theme of mothers and sons in art to some compelling, over-the-top, psychosexual, Oedipal zone where taboo, tragedy, humor and rage merge.
On the night of Melee's opening, his show was guarded by a gorgon, and the gorgon was Mom. You had to get by her to see the rest of the exhibition, which wasn't so easy. With thick rings painted around each eye, her face caked in pancake makeup, and hair out to here, Mumsy was a cross between Divine, a Kabuki demon and a witchy Liz Taylor. Mrs. Melee sat on a folding chair in a large raised glass box, wearing only fishnet pantyhose and a feather boa. She peered over the crowd, smoked, drank beer, and, startlingly, exposed her breasts or stood up to show that she wore no panties under her panty hose. She was all the freaks Diane Arbus ever photographed as seen by Francis Bacon. It was amazing, it was sick, and to top it all off, the artist says you can rent Mom for $6,000 an hour and "do anything you want to her."
Melee's art is abject, abusive and out-there. It's all climax and no tension. Much of the time his subject seems to run away with him. Since his last show, he hasn't really developed, only exploded, although this is to be expected from an outsider like him. To his credit, Melee melds the bad taste and impudence of John Waters, the messiness of Paul McCarthy, a schizzy version of early-'90s pathetic esthetic, a lot of raunch, a touch of madness and a dash of Eminem's ire. Curiously, as shocking as his art is, it is strangely unemotional. Yet his work feels real and close to the bone; it's not like he's just some fruitcake.

Mother's Courage
By Michael Wang
The second and final performance of Robert Melee's Talent Show last Thursday at The Kitchen drew a sold-out crowd. (At the last minute colorful pillows were thrown on the floor in front, kindergarten-style, for additional seating). The homage to current downtown performance ran the queer gamut from the haute-foppish pretension of Wayne Koestenbaum's poetry reading ("But relatedness—Winnicott, Klein?—shines in her eyes") to the pure gender-bending ridiculousness of Julie Atlas Muz's anatomically perverse "Mr. Pussy," which eschewed vagina dentata in favor of the relatively ineffectual vagina mustachio (Muz styles her "down there" as a crooning mariachi).
The Melee-designed set—tinsel, Christmas bows, pastel linoleum, and faux wood paneling—garnered its own round of applause and was quickly incorporated into the performances via Melee's ritual "marbleizing" (in pastel house paint that matched the decor) of his disrobed and heavily made-up mother. At any talent show there's the disconcerting moment when productive play rubs up against actual skill (the piano prodigy is scheduled after the singing bellies, etc.) and on this night that moment arrived with drag act Shasta Cola. Her tightly choreographed, Chelsea-friendly act (she performs at The Barracuda, a gay bar on West 22nd Street), set to Destiny's Child and avant rapper M.I.A., made use of an array of color guard props, from glittery toy rifles to hand-sewn flags, all handled with the gung ho expertise of a champion cheerleader.

JUDGMENT Tejinder Singh Doabia, J.
1. The petitioner herein invokes the assistance of Section 132(a) of the Income Tax Act. It is submitted that the account books maintained by the petitioner assessee were taken possession of by the assessing Authority on 7.4.1995. It is said that in terms of Section referred to above, these books of accounts and the records could be retained by the Assessing Authority for a period of 180 days. It is further submitted that if these are to be retained beyond that period, then the approval of the Higher authorities named in Section 132(8) is supposed to be obtained. It is stated that not only approval has to be obtained, but the reasons for this retention are supposed to be mentioned and these reasons are supposed to be conveyed to the assessee. According to the petitioner, the assessee was not made aware of the fact that approval has been obtained. IN this situation, it is submitted, that the question of reasons being made available to the petitioner, does not arise.
2. The respondents have, however, controverted the allegations. It is submitted that approval of the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax Investigation Circle, Jammu, was obtained. The first approval was obtained on 13.9.1996. It was again obtained on 17.10.1996, 11.6.1997, 23.6.1998, 15.6.1999 and 21.6.2000. It is submitted that these records are being retained because these are required by the higher hierarchy who are to examine the orders passed by the Assessing Authority.
3. There can be no dispute with the legal proposition. This is to the effect that under Section 132(8) of the Income Tax Act, the authority effecting seizure of the documents can retain them for a period of 180 days and in case these are to be retained beyond that period, then approval of the higher authorities indicated in the sub-section is required to be taken. There is also no dispute with the proposition that the reasons are not only to be recorded, but these are to be conveyed to the assessee. The maximum limit for which the account books or other documents can be retained, has been indicated in the proviso to the said Sub-Section. This is 30 days after the proceedings are completed.
4. So far as the legal position is concerned, the learned counsel for the petitioner has rightly placed reliance on a decision of the Supreme Court reported as Commissioner of Income Tax and Ors. v. Oriental Rubber Works, TC 62 R 172. In this decision, the Supreme Court of India has observed that reasons for retaining the records are to be reduced into writing. This has to be done by the authorised officer. Approval is to be sought. Thereafter, the approval as also the reasons for retention are supposed to be conveyed to the assessee. Similar view has again been expressed in a number of decisions. They are, as under:-
Commissioner of Income Tax. West Bengal III v. Mahabir Prasad Poddar, 3 ITR 215 (Cal);
Mahabir Prosad Poddar v. Commissioner of Income Tax West Bengal, III and Ors. 77 ITR 343 (Cal) Hanuman Pershad Ganeriwala v. Director of Inspector (Income Tax) and Ors. 93 ITR 419 (Delhi).
A decision of this Court reported as Director of Inspection and Ors. v. K. C. & Co. and Ors., 185 ITR 475 also supports the legal position put across by the learned counsel for the petitioner.
5. The counsel appearing for the respondents does not dispute the correctness of the legal aspect as noticed in the judgments referred to above. He, however, submits that the approval was sought. It is further submitted that reasons for retention of accounts were also recorded. It is further stated that the fact that the records are going to be retained was duly conveyed to the petitioner. For this, the letter of approval, as noticed above, is in the records produced in the Court. The first approval is dated 6.10.1995, This is addressed to Shri Mohan Mangotra B-68, Greater Kailash-I, New Delhi. The reasons for retention of the records as indicated in the communication are that these records were required for completing the investigation. The latest approval is dated 21.6.2000. This has again been addressed to the petitioner at 68-Greater Kailash-I at New Delhi. The reasons have thus again been indicated therein. Therefore, to say that the approval was not obtained or that reasons have not been recorded, is a argument which is factually incorrect. So far as the communication addressed to the petitioner are concerned, the presumption would be that these were duly conveyed. In the face of the record maintained by the respondents, the argument raised by the petitioner that the orders of approval of the reasons were not conveyed to the petitioner, cannot be sustained. As a matter of fact, there are no factual averments made in the writ petition that the orders by which the records were retained or the approval(s) were never conveyed to the petitioner, and what has been stated is that there was non-compliance of Section 132(8) of the Income Tax Act. This has not been elaborated. From a perusal of the record, it becomes apparent that the requisite approvals have been duly addressed to the petitioner. The presumption would, therefore, be in favour of the Revenue, so for as the addressing of communications are concerned.
6. In view of the above, there is no merit in this petition. This is dismissed. The respondents are, however, directed to return the records to the petitioner in terms of the proviso and also to complete the proceedings at the earliest, preferably within this year.
Disposed of accordingly.

Hopeless World
July 31st, 2012by godoftrees
My name is Trenton and i'm posting this out of confusion, hopelessness and honestly the rest of the reasons i don't know. Obliviously being on this site shows that i don't want to live anymore. I hate this world for what it is i hate our species and what they do. I've felt this way for quite a while now and i always thought "can't i change it?". But then reality comes to play and shows me that i can't. I simply don't have the motivation or discipline to even think i could change it. As i'm speaking right i should be reading a book for a project but when i try to read it, i can't get myself to because of my lack of disciplined mind. I've had suicidal thoughts since middleshcool and i'm now becoming a junior in highschool. I hate our species for many reasons, i hate how ignorant we are and how selfish and cruel we are. I'm not saying "everyone in the world are assholes but me" because i know, despite i care for others and try my best, that i too make the same mistakes which is exactly why it hurts me so much. Theres nothing we can do about our hopeless society and i'm in such a hopeless situation. Not just society but in my past too, i've never made great grades and i'm coming out of school soon and i know nothing but failure reaches for me. Our society is like that, only accepting certain people into certain things. I hate it, i hate it so much. I hate cultures, religion (yes i'm a fucking atheist fuck you if you have a problem against ), manners. They are all things showing that we have unnecessary things that make our species so fake!
Of course that isn't the only reason why i want to die, there are many more. Another thing is my insecurity. Since the beginning of my life I've had nothing but pain and getting bullied based on my height and it scarred me for the rest of my life, causing me extreme insecurity. Now whenever I do something wrong i get hurt by it so dramatically that its sad. Sometimes i would lie in the past, about really stupid things like rather i did something in a videogame or not that made people angry, i also came up with a fake story and in my very very past days i pretended a bunch of bullshit that ended people hurt and crying. I stopped now, but from time to time i create something stupid like "hey this book" when the book really doesn't exist. I've learned to stop but it still doesn't cope to the fact i lied to my best friends about it and now i can't fix it. I also think (my insecurity) that no one really likes me at all secretly. I hate it, i hate my insecurity because rather they are true or not, it causes me to think horrible things. I hate myself for it, and despite all the good i've done to people, i always think people think i'm annoying or disgusting or get in the way. I deeply wish i had someone who would talk to me, and not stop, and understand. And if there was someone who cared, i wish they would stop being afraid and talk to me. I had some people talk to me but they didn't succeed in helping despite their best intentions.
Yes i've said it, i've done good since i wrote a story. (a real story) A story of my life, i made vows to help people and all of this stuff. People think me as sweet and nice and i know i am but that doesn't help my insecurity. If you want to hear the story i wrote, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with subject STORY.
Yes i've also said i was an atheist. I'm repeating this because i don't want any replies saying "you need to get your share of god" because i don't believe in god because of the lack of evidence of god. Religion is another reason why i see the world hopeless because instead of legitimately looking at facts and science people come up with some crap.
I've also thought of this girl, and i know thats how most suicides act is based on another person but she's not the reason. I somtimes imagine hugging her or kissing her or even being with her but i know it wouldn't happen. I wish the thoughts would go away because relationships is another thing i noticed our society fails at. And i know it would never happen anyways.
Mostly i want to die because of the hopeless future i believe i have. I also hate our society and how it is so corrupt on businesses, war, religion i could go into detail but honestly i don't have the energy for it.
I wanted advice on how i could kill myself but since this site doesn't allow it, i'll just end it here.
I'm ready to die

The Canberra Raiders dismissal of John Jerome Papalii sparked a downward spiral that ended with the junior footballer robbing two supermarkets in the same drunken night, a court has heard.
John Papalii, brother of Kangaroos and Queensland origin rugby league star Josh Papalii, is currently facing sentencing for the robberies in the ACT Supreme Court.
He was heavily intoxicated when he robbed the FoodWorks supermarket in Pearce twice on the evening of December 13, telling staff he had a gun and asking for money.
Papalii also attempted to rob the Five Star Supermarket in Spence on the same night.
The offences - described by a psychologist as "ridiculous" and "fairly pathetic" in terms of their sophistication - prompted a response from police, who found Papalii hiding in a backyard.
An officer struggled with him, but was thrown to the ground.
Papalii was later arrested and brought before court, eventually pleading guilty.
On Monday, the court heard from Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science director Professor James Ogloff, who spent four hours with Papalii in an attempt to understand the rationale for his strange behaviour.
Professor Ogloff said Papalii's earlier dismissal from the Raiders, where he played as a junior, had hit the young footballer hard.
He said that event, combined with low mood, stress, and alcohol, reduced Papalii's capacity to make proper judgment.
If Papalii had not been in such a state of mind, Professor Ogloff said the offences were unlikely to have occurred.
In cross-examination, the Crown questioned the psychologist on whether the unusual nature of the offender's actions could simply be attributed to his intoxication.
The prosecution also asked Professor Ogloff about a minor common assault, committed by Papalii years before his dismissal from the Raiders.
Papalii's girlfriend told the court she noticed a significant change in her partner after his dismissal.
"I noticed that his performance levels started to drop, meaning less training, not wanting to do things that he'd usually do," she said.
"He started getting angry a lot over small things."
She said she could tell he was "bottling something up" and started pushing people away.
"It was really odd because I saw him two days before it [the offences] happened and he seemed really upset about something and just really stressed."
The court heard Papalii is now receiving counselling, has good support networks, is playing football again, attending church, and rebuilding his life.
His girlfriend, who said she planned to spend the rest of her life with Papalii, told the court he was now either at church or playing rugby.
Justice Richard Refshauge has delayed sentencing Papalii until mid-next year.
That is designed to allow the court to monitor his progress in turning his life around.
He will reappear in court on June 17.

Author Tags: Afro-Canadian, Fiction
As the first collection of stories from folk/blues artist Fred Booker of Burnaby, Adventures in Debt Collection (Commodore $16) offers recollections of growing up black in Canada and reflects Booker's "day-job" adventures as a repo man, confronting debtors and repossessing vehicles with tow-truck hook-ups. His collection agency is fictional; but the altercations and mishaps are close to the truth.
Booker published short fiction in Event, Whetstone and The Windsor Review and published poetry in Prism International and the anthology Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature, edited by Wayde Compton, one of the founders of Commodore Books. Commodore Books derives its name from the paddle steamer which transported thirty-five black migrants from San Francisco to Victoria 147 years ago, at the behest of half-black Governor James Douglas, to offset the incursion of white American migrants during the Gold Rush. Affiliated with the West Coast Review Publishing Society, Commodore Books is touted as the first and only black literary press in Western Canada.
Fred Booker died on June 4, 2008. [See below]
[BCBW 2008] "Afro-Canadian" "Fiction"
Press Release (2008)
It is with great sadness that we at Commodore Books mourn the loss of Fred Booker, who died at Burnaby General Hospital of pneumonia after a long battle with cancer on June 4, 2008. Booker was our first author, and we are proud to have begun our publishing mission with his Adventures in Debt Collection. Booker's fiction has been reviewed in multiple periodicals, including The Vancouver Sun and The Georgia Straight; his work has and will continue to be taught in colleges and universities; and Booker was writing new material right up to the very end. He was a versatile artist who published poems in a variety of literary journals across Canada in the 1970s, as well as releasing a series of folk-blues albums as a singer-writer into the 1980s. Later, he turned to short fiction, publishing stories in literary journals throughout the 1990s, eventually coming to our attention through Wayde Compton's research for the anthology Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature. A highlight of Booker's career was hearing two of his stories dramatized on the CBC Radio One show Between the Covers in 2007, and knowing that his words were being heard across the nation. Booker is survived by his life partner, Monique, and all of us, his readers and friends.

Indianapolis • Missy Franklin won the 100-meter backstroke Friday at the U.S. national championships, and 16-year-old Katie Ledecky moved into position to chase one of the toughest feats in swimming. Franklin finished in 58.67 seconds, setting a U.S. Open and long-course championship record. Elizabeth Pelton was second in 59.27.
Ledecky won for the second time this week. She finished the 400 freestyle in a personal best of 4:04.05, easily defeating Chloe Sutton second in 4:06.64. If Ledecky wins the 1,500 free Saturday, she could swim in the 200, 400, 800 and 1,500 at next month's world championships in Barcelona.

Gorgeous Time Lapse Video of Oregon's Starry Night Sky
A little while back we posted some of the outstanding Milky Way photography of Ben Canales. We were blown away by how extraordinary the night sky really is, especially when we're away from the all-too-common occurrence of light pollution.
Ben Canales via Vimeo/Video screen capture
A couple months ago, Ben let us know he was headed off with the team from Uncage the Soul Productions to work on a time lapse of the Oregon night sky. He came back with a stellar video to share with everyone.
Ben Canales via Vimeo/Video screen capture
In an interview with EcoSalon, Ben notes, "We were inspired to make this film because of the personal experiences our team has individually had in Oregon. But, we would be honored to have the opportunity to capture and showcase the unique beauty of other regions through our cameras. Hopefully films like this will inspire and excite others to go beyond their normal routines and see some of the beautiful regions beyond their own backyards."

For the past 22 years, the Fund for a Better Waterfront (FBW) has attempted to get a plan adopted by the City of Hoboken for the central waterfront. The success at the south waterfront, accomplished in a plan adopted by the City in 1995, has yet to be replicated from 4th up to 11th Street. But now there is an ordinance before the Hoboken City Council that would provide funding to complete such a plan. There will be a public hearing and final vote at the City Council meeting on Wednesday night, August 15.
It is a modest bond ordinance that will provide a little over $1 million for planning/engineering work for three street projects: Sinatra Drive, Washington Street and Newark/Observer Highway. The Sinatra Drive project would help fix the street layout from 4th to 11th Streets, making it pedestrian-friendly, continuing the bike path north from the South Waterfront, adding waterfront parkland and hopefully an abundance of trees as now exists south of 4th.
The ordinance will pay for the completion of shovel-ready plans, thus permitting the City to leverage state and federal funding for construction. Congress recently passed a federal transportation bill that will provide $54 billion annually, including $504 million for New Jersey projects in the coming fiscal year.
Likewise, the other street projects will upgrade key transportation corridors in Hoboken and develop plans to help leverage government funding for construction. The Observer Highway project has a $1.8 million federal grant and another $350,000 from the Hudson County Resurfacing Fund dedicated to construction. The Newark Street project, stretching just two blocks from Washington to River Streets, has $240,000 in government construction funds committed. But first, the final engineering plans must be completed to allow these funds to be released.
Washington Street, also known as "The Avenue," is a major focal point for Hoboken's retail trade and generates huge volumes of pedestrian traffic. This local "Main Street" is the major piece of this bond ordinance requiring a thorough public process to complete a streetscape redesign from Observer up to 14th Street. New, modern traffic signals and pedestrian crossing signals are required. The current street lights do not provide proper lighting. Unsafe crosswalks and handicapped-compliant corners must be corrected. Once the plan and construction drawings are completed, the City anticipates phasing in construction over a number of years as funding becomes available.

The event marked the 60th anniversary of Operation Smash, during which Studland Bay hosted a practice of the planned landings in Normandy, France.
More than 100 local history enthusiasts teamed up with the National Trust to
storm the beaches and parade as troops.
Six soldiers drowned during the original exercise after their modified amphibious tanks sank in bad weather.
The original exercise was watched by King George VI, then Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Supreme Allied
Commander General Dwight Eisenhower and General Montgomery.
It involved rocket attacks and an assault landing with thousands of infantry on 4 April, 1944.
During Saturday's re-run, original World War II guns fired blanks from the British and American camps set up in the field around nearby Fort Henry in preparation for the mock battle.
'Living history'
Soldiers in original standard issue uniform gathered by their camouflaged tents as original military vehicles including cars, jeeps and motorbikes, drove around the camps.
David Bennett, chairman of the World War II Living History Association, said: "We are what we say we are. We are living history.
"People can see life-size, one-to-one, what they have only seen in movies or old newsreel footage."
Geoff Hann, head warden at Studland, said: "The 60th anniversary marks an important period in the history of Studland but due to the age of most veterans
involved in 1944 this is likely to be one of the last opportunities to remember this historic event in this way."

Airport shuttle
In a construction zone
Everything was fine and as I expected until . . . I was traveling with my 1 & 1/2 year old great granddaughter and she loves the swimming pool. To my dismay the gate around the pool was not securely closed. She went to the pool area 3 times while I was trying to load up our car. When I told the gentleman at the desk he did not seem interested at all. I tried to impress on him the danger it posed, my granddaughter could have fallen in. Again, he didn't care at all!
I enjoy being able to relax without being disturbed. I'm glad the pool is open now. Out of service elevator, only coffee in the morning.
This may have been the scene of a murder at one point. The beds were caving in on themselves and the bedding was ridden with holes. The general vibe of the place was time-forgotten and dirty.
I didn't like anything People screaming and fighting all night long. This place has bed bugs.
Reminded me of an old Route 66 style motel. Pool was closed/no water in it.
Simple older facility but clean convenient and reasonable priced.
smoking room was just fine
Relatively inexpensive. Large room, safe enough and very quiet. Capable and friendly manager. (Night clerk, not so much.) Location is rather unattractive, surrounded by chain stores and fast food, but it's central and convenient for what I needed to do. It was cold in El Paso, and the little wall mounted heater/air conditioner wasn't up to the task. The place was definitely ok, but not really a bargain or find. Might be fine in good weather, but next time I'll probably try something else.
Someone put some time in refurbishing this place, but forgot to put in electrical outlets for recharging phones, etc.

DENVER, Colo. -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has authorized the use of federal funds to help with firefighting costs for the Indian Gulch Fire in Jefferson County.
FEMA approved the state's request for a federal Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) at 6:30 p.m. MDT. At the time of the request, the fire was threatening 265 homes in and around the Golden Gate Canyon subdivision near the city of Golden. The fire was also threatening other buildings, businesses, power utilities, state park facilities, and is impacting the local watershed.
"While we don?t send engines or firefighters to battle these blazes, FEMA does help reimburse states for their firefighting costs," said FEMA Region VIII Regional Administrator Robin Finegan.? "Whenever a wildfire threatens large numbers of homes and looks like it may become a major disaster, we can help cover costs so the state can do what it needs to do to fight the fire."
The authorization makes FEMA funding available to pay 75 percent of the state's eligible firefighting costs under an approved grant for managing, mitigating and controlling designated fires. These grants do not provide assistance to individual home or business owners and do not cover other infrastructure damage caused by the fire.
Fire Management Assistance Grants are provided through the President's Disaster Relief Fund and made available by FEMA to assist in fighting fires that threaten to cause a major disaster. Eligible items can include expenses for field camps; equipment use, repair and replacement; mobilization and demobilization activities; and tools, materials and supplies.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders and to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning 'un-covering')
Translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, hidden from humanity in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation.
Tricia Valek, I totally agree with you.
Did anyone feel anything unusual around midday on Saturday the 22nd? This was when the Maya Ac Tah predicted a wave of intense consciousness.
I've been feeling really heightened consciousness for quite some time now. I can't say that my frequency was any higher during that time, but I was blessed with a break in which I was able to meditate in my prayer closet and write things down. What really impressed me at that time was that I need to let go of any tendency toward being rigid about my spiritual practices.
I've recently gotten back into my yoga and regular meditation, after pretty much dropping everything when things got really hot last summer and I got really tired, dealing with no AC and all. When I got the inspiration to get back into it again, I was scared that I'd end up dropping the ball and quitting. But Spirit assured me that if I'm meant to do Yoga, I'll do Yoga. Whatever I'm meant to do I will do.
I don't have to try to hang on so tightly to the Life Force, and my connection to Universe, because Life, Universe, and Spirit love me and they aren't letting go of me. They ARE me. If I become open and fluid, it'll be easier to just "go with the force" and be doing what I need to be doing at each and every moment. I need to say yes to listening and no to mind chatter, and everything will take care of itself.
With my Kundalini Yoga practice, there is a Kriya where we meditate on boundlessness. We gradually move up higher and higher until we are out in space looking down at the Earth, able to embrace it all. During one of my recent meditations, it occurred to me that, just as being boundless enables me to embrace more people and meet more needs, it also enables me to be more connected with the whole universe and to easily find what I need to meet my own needs and the needs of my family. In other words, it enables me to be more fully embraced -- or to experience the fact that I have always been fully embraced and cared for.

Cybercrooks are once again taking advantage of current events to push malware.
Prurient interest in the death of Kill Bill star David Carradine is being used to promote Twitter updates containing links to sites punting rogueware. The attack is the latest in a string of assaults over the last week or so that abuse the Trending Topics feature of Twitter to promote scareware.
Meanwhile, search engine result poisoning is being used so that searches involving the disappearance of Air France Flight 447 off the coast of Brazil point to scareware affiliate websites. The complex attack uses multiple site redirections, as explained in a blog posting by Trend Micro here.
