What You Don't Need to Meditate
Meditation is something of a mystery to most of us. We don't quite know how to do it or understand why we need to do it. I included meditation in the 30 Days to Grace practice because it has great value, especially in today's busy, frenetic, and multitasking world. I want to simplify the practice of meditation for you and have you appreciate the complexities of it at the same time.
Meditation typically involves sitting quietly with our spine erect and focusing inward. There are many different forms of meditative practice, and the technique itself is less important than the act of inward attention. It is the inward attention that calls forth the meditative state.
John Kabit Zin, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are, says it simply: "Meditation is stopping and being present, that is all." He says meditation is feeling the way you feel. It's not about making the mind empty or still; it's about letting the mind be as it is and knowing it in this moment. That is possible for us all.
Most of my clients tell me they aren't very good at meditating or that they can't do it at all. Anyone, though, can be present to their breathing and their mind when they choose to be. Often, we are challenged at "being" because "doing" is much more familiar and comfortable, especially to people raised in the West. If you are willing to just "be," even for five minutes, you can meditate—and the benefits are nothing short of amazing.

If you find the hustle and bustle of the city getting all a bit too much, you can always retreat to one of Edinburgh's most popular public parks: Princes Street Gardens. Marking the division between Old and New Town, this large and luscious green space is a haven for locals, a must-see for visitors and a hub for some of the city's most exciting concerts and events.

The Boozy Cow
It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, so Mr Bug offered to take me out for a special treat meal. Seen as birthday calories don't count (because I say so!) I got him to take me to the Boozy Cow – it's just across the road from my office and had been catching my eye for a while. Plus, their solid fayre of good burgers and drinks had gone down well with a few of my friends and I had heard great things about the place.
A tour of Glenkinche Distillery
Note from the Edinbug: I know a lot of people come to Edinburgh to get a grips on whisky or scotch, and it's true that the city is a fantastic gateway to many Scottish distilleries. The thing is, I don't know the first thing about whisky, so luckily my pal John has offered to write up a tour of Glenkinche Distillery for the site – I hope you enjoy it!
I caught up with a couple of friends a week or so ago in Bruntsfield. The sun was shining, it was still fairly early in the day so it seemed like a good idea to enjoy a spot of breakfast in Montpeliers – one of the most popular bar/restaurants in the area.
One of the many great things about my new job (I will stop banging on about it at some point, I promise) is that I get to try lots of new places that would have normally passed me by. I was lucky enough to be invited from my work to try Steak's new menu for summer 2015 – and safe to say their new offering is a pretty good effort.
Cairngorm Coffee Co.
Those who follow this blog closely (Hello, Mum!) will probably know that I recently started a new job. Apart from the fact that I now do what I love every day (yup – I get to promote Edinburgh both on here AND in my day job!), I've been having so much fun getting to know my new surroundings. I've moved from the empty end of Leith to the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, where there are lots of cute cafés, independent shops and restaurants, and one of my favourite discoveries so far is Cairngorm Coffee Co.
Red Box
The other night after work I had the hankering for some noodles. There are plenty of decent noodle places in town but Red Box is definitely one of my favourites. What you see is what you get with Red Box – no fuss, no muss. And it's pocket friendly too which just before payday certainly worked in its favour!

It's a short story about a guy, a girl, and Monster Hunter. The way the author writes the story comes off as kind of dry, but it seems very fitting as you see how awkward his interactions are with his co-worker who has made her intentions rather obvious.

NEW YORK (CBS) An 18-year-old Miami college freshman is dead, and all that is left is a desperate plea from her mother to "listen to your parents."
PICTURES: Miami Freshman Jaclyn Torrealba Murdered
Jaclyn Torrealba was allegedly killed by an older man she was romantically involved with, 30-year-old Juan Carlos Portieles, aka DJ Seasunz, who her parents had forbade her from dating for fear that he was a predator to young girls.
"Your parents give you good advice. Take this lesson; there are bad people out there," Vilma Castro, the teen's mother said at a press conference Tuesday, Oct. 13.
Jaclyn Torrealba's body was discovered in the front passenger seat of Portieles' car on Sunday Oct. 11, after he drove to a Miami police station and told officers that he had choked her to death, according to the arrest warrant.
Torrealba's father, Pablo Torrealba said that he never considered Portieles his daughter's boyfriend and that he and her mother "never agreed to that relationship."
But friends of the murdered teen say that she continued to have a romantic relationship with Portieles, an up-and-coming Miami disc-jockey who, according to associates, was popular with underage women in the club scene.
According to a 17-year old who worked with him selling tickets to a music festival, Portieles was adored by young girls. These teens "LOVED" the popular DJ and "thought he was sweet and charming," the teen, who asked to be called "Juliette," said in an online interview with Crimesider.
But others saw a dark side.
Erika Escobar, 22, who met Portieles "through the club scene" when she was 17 years old, said she found him "slightly odd and sometimes creepy," in an email to Crimesider.
She also said Portieles bought drinks for underage girls in the clubs.
Jaclyn Torrealba was a minor, either 16 or 17, when she started seeing Portieles. She was a high school honors student and hoping to study law at Florida International University where she was a freshman.
As her family continues to grieve the tragic loss of their young daughter, they hope her story can help other teens use their best judgment.
"No one deserves what my daughter got ... no one's life should be cut this short," Pablo Torrealba said at the conference.
"Our daughter; our wonderful daughter; all we have left of her is memories," he said.
The G. Holmes Braddock debate team will host a car wash for the grieving family on Oct. 19 at the student parking lot, 3601 SW 147th Avenue and will begin at 9 a.m.

Clemons Puts On A "Classic" At Salem
Salem, Indiana - - ARCA RE/MAX Series rookie Josh Clemons seemed to have a show of his own last Saturday night from Salem Speedway after overcoming a number of obstacles including two penalties to score his first top-five finish of his young ARCA career.
Earlier in the day, the team wasn't sure they would have the night they had. After posting the 22nd fastest time in practice, the team looked at several changes to the No. 41 United States of Mind Ford Taurus for the 200-lap event. One of those changes included a new steering box that went bad during the hour and a half session.
"I really didn't like the way the car was driving, I think the faulty steering box had a lot to do with it," said driver Josh Clemons. "We didn't get the opportunity to have a lot of practice time, I hope that doesn't hurt us," he added.
In time trials, Clemons proved that the lack of track time didn't halt his Clemons Racing team, after he punched out a solid tenth place qualifying effort. Motoring his Ford Taurus around the southern-based Indiana track in 17.880 seconds, or 111.745 MPH, just a mere two-tenths of a second off the Pork pole. Obviously, smiles hovered around the Clemons Racing team, as Josh mounted his way into his third ARCA RE/MAX Series start of the season.
"I'm happy," continued Clemons, who has competed at Salem before in the United Speed Alliance Racing Series. "We put sticker tires on our car, and the car handled well. We're in the field, and at this point that's the main thing. With this being our only short track event of the season, we look to stay clean and gather a good finish."
34 ARCA drivers took the green flag shortly after 8:00PM EST, with Clemons wasting no time trying to dive his No. 41 to the front.
When the first caution flag waved on lap eight for a caution involving John Busse, Clemons had already gobbled up two of his competitors posting eighth place. Clemons reported to the crew that his machine was handling beautifully, and was going to take his time getting to the front.
Quickly, the No. 41 Ford Taurus became one of the quickest on the track. Clemons using veteran like moves and rookie patience maneuvered his machine into the top-five nearing lap sixty.
Still driving a well-handling automobile, Clemons's rocket ship was best on restarts. The New Albany, native would study his prey at the start of the green flag, before making a move, continuing to charge towards the lead pack.
Closing in on halfway, Clemons had locked the third position behind 2004 Series champion Frank Kimmel and outside pole sitter Michael Simko. However Clemons while running in the third position he would be forced to pit for a stop and go penalty because of a spectator who was with the Clemons Race Team walked onto pit road without a helmet. Josh leaving the pits too fast caused the second penalty. With a now frustrated 28-year old driver behind the wheel, Clemons knew he had a car good enough to win, but would have to skillfully use guidance and again patience to retain his laps lost..
Still upset about the earlier penalties, Clemons knew he had a job to do. Still one of the fastest machines on the track, Josh steered his multicolored machine towards getting his laps back.
After leader Frank Kimmel was crunched out of the race, "Is that Frank?," asked Clemons. "Wow that really sucks, I was looking forward to racing against him. We knew we really had a car that was capable of winning the race. This Ford Taurus was bad to the bone.
Indeed, Clemons gave it all he had and was able to swallow up one of his two lost markers. Despite having a lighting fast machine, the wall eventually caught the former late model driver as he brushed the walls between turns one and two, causing some damage to the front-end alignment.
Despite the woes, and damage, he was able to hold the fifth place position, collecting his career best finish, and the best for an Indiana-native.
"After all things considered, I'm happy," said Clemons climbing from his machine. "We had a really good racecar, but the penalties cost us, and cost us big. I think we could have easily won the race if we hadn't lost our laps, but sometimes that's the way it goes," replied Clemons, who competed 210 of the 211-extended markers.
Clemons, who is aiming at a full NASCAR Busch Series assault in 2005 added. "I'm happy for all my guys. It's been a rough couple of months, but now we have proven that we can run upfront. I'm ecstatic for my sponsors as well. United States of Mind, Sky Spy, Cybertek Engineering, and Tech Star Design and Manufacturing. I promised them we would get them a good finish this weekend, we did."
Next up for the ARCA RE/MAX Series is the season finale from Talladega Superspeedway. While it is not known at this time, if Clemons Racing will attempt the event, the 22nd event of the 2004 season will be broadcasted live on the Speed Channel, Saturday, October 2nd starting at 2:00pm EST.

The wildlife of Pakistan comprises a diverse flora and fauna in a wide range of habitats from sea level to high elevation areas in the mountains, including 177 mammal and 660 bird species.[1] This diverse composition of the country's fauna is associated with its location in the transitional zone between two major zoogeographical regions, the Palearctic, and the Oriental.[2]

Habitats of flora and fauna[edit]
Northern highlands and plains[edit]
The northern highlands include lower elevation areas of Potohar and Kashmir regions and higher elevation areas embracing the foothills of Himalayan, Karakorum and Hindukush mountain ranges. These areas provide an excellent habitat for wildlife in the form of alpine grazing lands, sub-alpine scrub and temperate forests. The areas are difficult for human beings to access, hence, most wildlife is present in reasonable numbers though some are endangered for other reasons. The northern highlands of Pakistan are covered with conifer and scrub forests, which have been reduced to scanty growth in most places. This biome is defined as northwestern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows.[citation needed]
Some of the wildlife species found in northern mountainous areas and Pothohar Plateau include the bharal, Eurasian lynx, Himalayan goral, Marco Polo sheep, marmot (in Deosai National Park) and yellow-throated marten and birds species of chukar partridge, Eurasian eagle-owl, Himalayan monal and Himalayan snowcock and amphibian species of Himalayan toad and Muree Hills frog.
Threatened species include the snow leopard, Indian leopard, Himalayan brown bear, Indian wolf, Kashmir gray langur, rhesus macaque, markhor, Siberian ibex, white-bellied musk deer and Kashmir red deer.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Bird species present are cheer pheasant, peregrine falcon and western tragopan.[12]
Indus plains and deserts of Sindh[edit]
River Indus and its numerous eastern tributaries of Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej, Jhelum, Beas are spread across most of Punjab. The plain of river Indus continues towards and occupy most of western Sindh. The plains have many fluvial landforms (including bars, flood plains, levees, meanders and ox-bows) that support various natural biomes including tropical and subtropical dry and moist broadleaf forestry as well as tropical and xeric shrublands (deserts of Thal in Punjab and of Cholistan, Nara and Tharparkar in Sindh). The banks and stream beds of the river system also support riparian woodlands that exhibit the tree species of kikar, mulberry and sheesham. The reed beds and tamarisk bushes along the rivers are also present. Such geographical landforms accompanied by an excellent system of monsoon climate provides an excellent ground for diversity of flora and fauna species. However, the plains are equally appealing to humans for agricultural goals and development of civilization. Vast Indus flood plains have been cleared of natural vegetation to grow crops. This has caused only a few species to become endangered.[citation needed]
Some of the non-threatened mammal species includes the nilgai, red fox and wild boar, bird species of Alexandrine parakeet, barn owl, black kite, myna, hoopoe, Indian peafowl, Indian leopard, red-vented bulbul, rock pigeon, shelduck and shikra, reptile species of Indian cobra, Indian star tortoise, Sindh krait and yellow monitor and amphibian species of Indus Valley bullfrog and Indus Valley toad. Some of the threatened mammal species include the axis deer, Indian elephants, blackbuck, hog deer, dholes, Punjab urial and Sindh ibex, bird species of white-backed vulture and reptile species of black pond turtle and gharial. Grey partridge is one of the few birds that can be found in the Cholistan desert. The Tharparkar desert supports a fair population of the chinkara. The Indian wild ass migrates from the Indian part of the Great Rann of Kutch to the part in Pakistan in search of food. Wild boar numbers have increased because of the immunity they enjoy in a Muslim society that forbids its consumption by humans.[citation needed]
Mugger crocodiles inhabit the Deh Akro-II Desert Wetland Complex, Nara Desert Wildlife Sanctuary, Chotiari Reservoir and Haleji Lake.[13][14][15]
The Asiatic lion and Bengal tiger had existed in this region.[16][17] In 1810, a lion was killed near Kot Diji,[17] and in 1935 British admiral Philip Dumas reported seeing a lion in the Bolan Pass.[17][18] The tiger had occurred in the Punjab,[19] and in 1906, a tiger was killed near Panjnad, in what used to be the Princely State of Bahawalpur.[17]
Western highlands, plains and deserts[edit]
Western region of Pakistan, most of which is enveloped in Balochistan province, has a complex geography. In mountainous highlands, habitat varries from conifer forests of deodar in Waziristan and juniper in Ziarat. Numerous mountain ranges surround the huge lowland plains of Balochistani Plateau, through which a rather intricate meshwork of seasonal rivers and salt pans is spread. Deserts are also present, showing xeric shrubland vegetation in the region. Date palms and ephedra are common flora varieties in the desert.[citation needed]
The Balochistan leopard has been described from this region.[20] Some of the mammal species include the caracal, Balochistan dormouse, Blanford's fox, dromedary camel, goitered gazelle, Indian crested porcupine, long-eared hedgehog, markhor, ratel, and striped hyena, bird species of bearded vulture, houbara bustard and merlin, reptile species of leopard gecko and saw-scaled viper and amphibian species of Balochistan toad.[citation needed]
Wetlands, coastal regions and marine life[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (February 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
There are a number of protected wetlands (under Ramsar Convention) in Pakistan. These include Tanda dam and Thanedar Wala in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Chashma barrage, Taunsa barrage and Uchhali complex in Punjab, Haleji lake, Hub dam and Kinjhar lake in Sindh, Miani Hor in Balochistan. The wetlands are a habitat for migratory birds such as dalmatian pelicans and demoiselle crane as well as predatory species of osprey, common kingfisher, fishing cat and leopard cat near the coast line. Chashma and Taunsa Barrage Dolphin Sanctuary protects the threatened species of Indus river dolphins which tend to live in freshwater.
The coastline of Pakistan is 1,050 km long and consists of a variety of habitat types, supporting a wide range of animals, of which over 1000 are fish species in the reefs of its continental shelf. The east half of the coast of Pakistan is located in the south of Sindh province which features Indus River Delta and coast of Great Rann of Kutch. The largest saltwater wetland in Pakistan is the Indus River Delta. Unlike many other river deltas, it consists of clay soil and is very swampy. West coast of Great Rann of Kutch, east to the Indus River Delta and below Tharparkar desert, is one of the few places where greater flamingos come to breed. It is also a habitat for endangered species of lesser florican. Unlike Indus River Delta, this part of the coast is not as swampy and exhibits shrubland vegetation of rather dry thorny shrubs as well as marsh grasses of Apluda and Cenchrus.
The vegetation of Indus River Delta is mainly represented by various mangrove species and bamboo species. The Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves is a focused ecoregion of WWF. Nearly 95% of the mangroves located in the Indus River Delta are of the species Avicennia marina. Very small patches of Ceriops roxburghiana and Aegicerias corniculata are found. These provide nesting grounds for common snakehead, giant snakehead, Indus baril and many species of catfish like rita. The hilsa swims up from the Arabian Sea to spawn in freshwater. Species that are important to people as food, such as the golden mahseer and large freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium species), are part of the abundant aquatic life.
The west half of the Pakistan coast is in the south of Balochistan province. It is also called the Makran coast and exhibits protected sites such as Astola Island and Hingol National Park. The three major mangrove plantations of Balochistan coast are Miani Hor, Kalmat Khor and Gwatar Bay. Miani Hor is a swampy lagoon on the coast in the Lasbela district where the climate is very arid. The sources of fresh water for Miani Hor are the seasonal river of Porali. The nearest river to the other lagoon, Kalmat Khor, is the Basol River. Gawatar, the third site, is an open bay with a mouth almost as wide as its length. Its freshwater source is the Dasht River, the largest seasonal river of Baluchistan. All three bays support mainly A. marina species of mangrove. Pakistan also plans to rehabilitate mangrove-degraded areas at Sonmiani and Jiwani in Balochistan.
Along the shores of Astola and Ormara beaches of Balochistan and Hawk'e Bay and Sandspit beaches of Sindh are nesting sites for five endangered species of sea turtles: green sea, loggerhead, hawksbill, olive ridley and leatherback. Sea snakes such as yellow-bellied sea snake are also found in the pelagic zone of the sea. The wetlands of Pakistan are also a home to the mugger crocodile who prefer freshwater habitat.

This is a partial transcript of "The Big Story With John Gibson," March 13, 2007, that has been edited for clarity.
JOHN GIBSON, HOST: The one-sided war between Democrats and FOX News is tonight's "Big Story."
Radical liberals wanted a pullout and they got it. Not from the war in Iraq, instead from the political presidential debate this network is co-hosting this summer. But is the party shooting itself in the foot and making much ado about nothing?
Here is what Democrats say triggered their pullout: a joke made by FOX Chairman Roger Ailes last week in Washington, using Barack Obama's name. But listen carefully. It is not Obama who is the butt of the joke at all, but President Bush.
ROGER AILES, FOX NEWS CHAIRMAN: It is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it is true that President Bush called Musharraf and said, "Why can't we catch this guy?"
GIBSON: If anything, Ailes was defending Obama and making Bush look dumb for not catching bin Laden. Even Obama says he is not offended by the joke, but his fellow Democrats — egged on by radical leftist groups like moveon.org — are.
There are exceptions, of course. Ohio congressman and 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is slamming his own party for boycotting the upcoming fair and balanced debate on the No. 1 cable news network. He is with me now.
So Congressman Kucinich, why do think the Nevada Democrats caved on this and pulled out of the debate?
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH, D-OHIO: First of all, I don't have any criticism towards Nevada Democrats, but I do feel that as Democrats — and particularly as someone who wants to be president — you have got to reach out to people. I think it is fundamentally wrong to try to tell any particular news organization what it has to cover or what it should not cover or what it should say.
Look, we have diversity of opinion. I think it is important for me to have the chance to be on your show and to be in that debate. So I am ready to confront whatever questions FOX may ask in any debate in the future that it may sponsor. I think it is essential that you have the chance to challenge those who want to be president of the United States.
GIBSON: Let's put this up on the screen: The Dems vs. FOX. Very simple question. What are they afraid of?
KUCINICH: Well, I don't think we should be afraid of anything. My position is that, look, of all the Democratic candidates, I may be the furthest away from the kind of philosophy that FOX often expresses. But you know what? I think it is important that anyone who wants to lead the country have the ability to reach out. That American eagle needs two wings to fly, a left one and a right one. And I think that there has to be a chance to unify people. And that is really what my politics are all about, John. Looking for opportunities to unify people. And this move, I thought, was very divisive and unnecessary, frankly.
GIBSON: Look at this. A little bit of sound from Bill Maher, a frequent Bush critic and occasional critic of us, although he appears on the air all the time here. Listen to what he said last night.
BILL MAHER, COMEDIAN: Who cares what they're mad at. Instead of withdrawing, which says to everybody in the country, well, typical Democrats, they do not call people out, they just walk away. They don't raise the bet. Go on there. It's just Chris Wallace. If you cannot stand up to Chris Wallace, can you stand up to the terrorists, let alone the Republican Party?
KUCINICH: Well, obviously, he has it. But just to go over the territory again: Anyone who wants to be president of the United States should have the capacity to speak to people of any particular ideology.
GIBSON: But look at who did this. It was the George Soros group, moveon.org, and the Daily Kos, which is run by a guy named Markos, that insisted that FOX be decertified. Why is it that they have such control over Democrats?
KUCINICH: I would say that I think we need a politics which does not condemn people. So I am not going to condemn them. But what I am going to say is that FOX is a legitimate news agency that has the ability to reach out to millions of Americans, so why not get that message out? That is what I want to do, and all Democrats should be capable of doing it.
FOX is a good litmus test because if you can stand the scrutiny of FOX, with what you stand for, and all of the FOX News agencies that gather the information, their anchors can ask you questions, well that is part of what the test is of leadership.
Again, we should be thinking about a campaign that unites people. And I am ready to reach out to conservatives.
GIBSON: Congressman, tell me what I am supposed to make of this. George Soros who is a big administration critic invest $62 million into a significant, though not huge position, in Halliburton. Some in the left are already screaming at him that he is war profiteering well-being against the war. What do you think his motive is? Why is he involved with Halliburton?
KUCINICH: Well, I didn't know about that. Let me just say that George Soros has done quite a bit of good. At one time, years ago, I may have received a contribution from him, in a manner of disclosure.
But the politics I am trying to bring forward, John, is not about accusing people. But it is about challenging the Democratic contenders to say, hey, why not go on FOX, why not subject yourself to the kind of scrutiny that FOX could offer, and let the best person win? That is what we ought to be doing. I want to find a way to unite conservatives and liberals around meaningful questions like getting out of Iraq, like health care for all. These are things I have worked on. That's what I do.
GIBSON: Congressman Dennis Kucinich, unafraid to appear here. Congressman, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
KUCINICH: Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Observations on Charlottesville
I'm on the road again for a few days, and also have my head down trying to get a big project to the finish line, so I haven't been keeping a close watch on the news about much of anything (except Bryce Harper's potentially season-ending injury). So I'm not clear about the sequence of events that went down over the weekend in Charlottesville. My reaction upon seeing the first picture »
The Liberal Crackup
The Wall Street Journal ran an excerpt from Mark Lilla's new book, The Once and Future Liberal, coming out on Tuesday that we mentioned here yesterday. Here's a link to the whole piece if you are a WSJ subscriber, but if not here are two of the better paragraphs in it: As a teacher, I am increasingly struck by a difference between my conservative and progressive students. Contrary to the stereotype, »
Green Weenie of the Week: Gilkisonism
Last week we noted in "Climate Shark Jumping" the musings of one John Gilkison at the website EV World, which is otherwise a site devoted to electricity technology innovations, but where Gilkison speculated on the death penalties to be handed out at the prospective climate criminal trials of 2029. The list of people to be executed included all of the usual suspects, including the Koch brothers naturally, even though Charles »
The Week in Pictures: Googleplex Edition
"Googleplex" used to mean a 10 followed by 100 zeros, but as of this week it is the new analogue to "perplexed." It will henceforth be used for liberal faceplants in the following way: "Man you must really be Googleplexed by that!" Meanwhile, although Google's headquarters is also apparently known as the "Googleplex," when rendered into numerical notation it will have to be 10-100. Headlines of the week: And finally. . »
Coming: Lilla-Livered Liberalism?
When I see things like the meltdown at Google or any of the various campus disgraces that can be mentioned, I like to ask: "When are liberals going to defend liberalism?" One liberal who is standing up for liberalism is Mark Lilla of Columbia University. As noted here back in November, Lilla wrote an op-ed for the New York Times criticizing the Democratic Party's reliance on identity politics. For this, »
The Factual Feminist on Gender Differences in Math and Science
Leave it to Christina Hoff Sommers, in her "Factual Feminist" video series, to bring clarity to the Google-fueled controversy about women in math and science. This video is from three years ago, but it gets right at the heart of the matter. (I wonder if it comes up in a Google search? Well, I'm not going to waste my time finding out.) »
France Under Martial Law
Over at PJ Media, Patrick Poole is following the story that broke this morning in Paris of a car that rammed and injured several French military personnel. The driver, who fled the scene, was subsequently arrested, though as of this writing his identity has not been revealed. But French authorities are describing it as a "terror attack," which means we can expect that CNN will say that "we don't know »
Tom Friedman Has a Stopped Clock Moment
You know what they say about a stopped clock being right twice a day? Tom Friedman, the New York Times's second most predictably dismal columnist, had one such moment in yesterday's column. You knew something was up from the lede, which began with "I was talking the other day to. . ." Already you're groaning: will it be a taxi driver, a celebrity intellectual, or the Swiss store clerk with »

Climate Shark-Jumping Goes Past Eleven
One of my guilty pleasures is the silly Sharknado "movies," so naturally I had to take in Sharknado 5 ("Make America Bait Again!") on Saturday night.

"Yeah, we're going to make a movie starring a washed-up lead from Beverly Hills 90210 where he »
Google Fires Gender Dissenter
Just as we predicted, the Google engineer behind the memo dissenting from the orthodoxy of "diversity," whose name is James Damore, was fired today. Bloomberg reports: Alphabet Inc.'s Google has fired an employee who wrote an internal memo blasting the web company's diversity policies, creating a firestorm across Silicon Valley. James Damore, the Google engineer who wrote the note, confirmed his dismissal in an email, saying that he had been »
Today in the Annals of Stupid
Let's take stock of where we are at the moment. Not long ago some environmentalists were saying that we should have fewer children to fight climate change. I wonder if Al Gore will send back two of his four kids? Then a few days ago it was suggested we should curtail our dogs and cats because—wait for it—they have too large a carbon pawprint: Fido and Fluffy Are Ruining the »
Civil War Update: Blowback at Google
Further to our item yesterday on the Google engineer who has circulated a politically incorrect memo about the authoritarian ideology of "gender diversity" at the company, Reuters reports today that two Google company spokespeople have officially condemned the memo: Two Google executives criticized a memo that circulated late last week at the company from an unnamed engineer suggesting that there were "biological causes" for underrepresentation of women in technology and »
Civil War on the Left, Part 46: Googly Bits Fall Off
One of my theories about the hollow and politically-correct liberalism of the tech oligarchs in Silicon Valley is that it is simply the new face of assuaging their own liberal guilt at piling up such huge fortunes so rapidly. I heard a report last year about Google's CEO Eric Schmidt being challenged about his support for Hillary Clinton, and his reply was that Silicon Valley opposes government control of either »

Accidental fires can be quite hazardous if left uncontrolled as they tend to spread over larger areas, causing wide-spread destruction of property. To avert this, you can use the Kidde FA-110 Multi-purpose fire extinguisher which contains a highly effective multipurpose agent which can fight class A, B and C fires. These may be caused by common combustibles, oil-based products and energized electric equipment. The extinguisher is normally fitted with an extremely easy-to-read pressure gauge, which lets you know when it is charged. Moreover, it has a clear instruction label, which will clearly show the steps to be followed when operating the extinguisher.

3. Build to Last: The extinguisher is durable, corrosion resistant and features an impact- and rust-resistant aluminum cylinder which is meant to give you long-term service.
4. Sure Grip: The operating lever together with the sure-grip handle reduces any chances of slipping from oily or wet hands. This also makes it easier for those people with weak fingers or arthritis to operate.
5. The Multipurpose Agent: The product contains a multipurpose agent which helps in putting out the fires.
Some of the advantages of using this fire extinguisher include the following;
I. The product is easy to use. The sure grip handle as well as the lever the operating lever makes it easier for those people with arthritis or finger weakness to use the extinguisher.
II. It is also build to last, thanks to the strong aluminum cylinder construction.

Some of the negative aspects of this extinguisher include;
I. It is 2.5lb extinguisher which cannot last for long when putting out huge fires.
II. The plastic parts can make it hard to use this extinguisher to handle extremely hot flames as they are bound to melt.
A good quality fire extinguisher is extremely important if you want to put out any type of fire before it spreads out causing more harm and destruction of property. The unit should be safe to use and easy to operate. It should be extremely effective in putting out the fire and should have a gauge to show you when it is ready for use.

I when "complete the question in the box below is checked" I need to disable the Drag and Drop Widget. I have tried several conditions and none of them seem to work. Please help!

Thank you for contacting us.
This is not likely that we can disable the Drag and Drop Upload widget field with condition. Alternatively, you may hide it based on conditional logic.
This is how it is usually implemented:
- Single Choice field for selection.
- Two Show fields conditions.

You can clone it to your account to check the backend.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know. We will be happy to help.

What to Expect When Selling Your Home
You should select a professional real estate agent to represent your needs. Once you establish a working relationship with your agent, your home is put on the market and marketed to potential buyers. Once a buyer makes an offer on your home you have three options: accept the offer, counter the offer, or reject the offer.
After you accept an offer you can expect to do the following:
Escrow is opened and buyer deposits "earnest money" into escrow.
Seller submits documents and information to escrow holder, such as:
- addresses of lien holders
- tax receipts
- equipment warranties
- home warranty contracts (if any)
- any leases and/or rental agreements.
Seller approves and signs the escrow instructions, grant deed and other related documents required to complete the transaction.
Seller orders inspections, receives clearances and approves final reports and/or repairs to the property as required by the terms of the purchase and sale agreement (responsibility for inspection procedures may vary).
Buyer and Seller fulfill any remaining conditions specified in the contract and/or escrow instructions; approves the pay off demands and/or beneficiary's statements.
Buyer and Seller approve any final changes by signing amendments to the escrow instructions or contract.
Buyer and Seller fulfill any remaining conditions specified in the contract and/or escrow instructions; approves the pay off demands and/or beneficiary's statements.
Note: The above is general information only. Your situation may differ. Please consult your real estate professional for details about your specific situation.
