A Skillful Human Presence
by Mary R. Bast
Much of what I've written for and about business clients has focused on incremental change - ways I've coached people to develop skills that can make them more successful. For example:
- I helped a Two learn to set limits on doing others' work so that he wouldn't slip into his "martyr" role - he left to become CEO of his own company providing a new service in health care, and became able to sleep soundly at night for the first time in years.
- To a Three, I suggested that she focus on "we" in her language and look for opportunities to acknowledge contributions of people behind the scenes - she gained support and was promoted to President within months.
- A Five developed the ability to build on ideas that promoted creativity instead of his habitual practice of locking people into debate - his senior team subsequently created such a strong organization that they became millionaires when a larger company bought them out.
- I taught a Six to focus her perspective first on the positive potential instead of always looking for what could go wrong - she survived a corporate takeover unscathed while most of her peers were demoted or forced into early retirement.
- A Nine became better able to stay engaged in confrontation by using resistance as a source of positive energy - he was lured away from a Director-level job to become second in command of a larger organization.
However, I believe I have failed some of my business clients because - in Enneagram terms - all I did was feed the habits that drove them to perceived success. Those of us working in business might initially need to engage peoples' desire to get "better" at what they do - otherwise, we might not be "in business." But I have come to believe that meaningful development in any setting must have a transformational component - without that we are re-creating the very "problems" we are engaged to "fix". Moreover, I believe that we have an individual and cultural obligation to go beyond "personality assessment", beyond "marketing", beyond "understanding our customers" in our use of the Enneagram in business.
In Character and Neurosis, Naranjo writes in a chapter on "Suggestions for Further Work on Self" that" our collective predicament depends much on individual human transformation and we cannot afford not arousing the potential and motivation of individuals to work on themselves to the extent that they can." On this path, Naranjo promises us that truth is liberating, "the acknowledgment of the truth about oneself and one's life in spite of the discomfort or pain that this may involve." This requires not only a self-observational focus but the development of a "neutrality in which the desire for change is not 'acted out' in a precipitated and self-manipulative attempt to 'perfect oneself'. This will involve the discipline of self-observations and also a discipline of retrospection - a chewing up of recent experience," particularly with regard to negative emotions ("what Gurdjieff used to call 'conscious suffering' - a willingness to stay with such experiences as need to be observed and investigated").
Most important, "the truth about ourselves can free us, for once we have truly understood something about ourselves, it will change without 'our' attempt to change it." I suspect that many readers will have trouble believing that this is possible. We tend to think that we have to "do" something, that there has to be a plan of action that will modify our behavior. We tend to forget how easy it is to slip into our fixations, to have our "work" become driven by the same compulsion we are trying to escape.
Ones, for example, can become intent on fixing themselves, or Sixes can be driven by the need to understand their "type". I am not against incremental skill building with business clients. For one thing it gets their attention - they begin to see results, they feel motivated, they develop trust with the coach. But we've lost a rich opportunity if we don't open up opportunities for transformation by teaching them how to observe their Enneagram fixations impartially. Worse, we run the risk of having given them yet one more tool to reinforce their fixations (an Eight I worked with, for example, initially tried to use the Enneagram to analyze his "foes" and increase his chances of "winning"). Rather than focusing on understanding and changing what they're doing "wrong", the whole notion of impartial self-observation rests on the paradoxical fact that when they can truly embrace themselves as they are, their compulsions simply drop away.
I like the metaphor of alchemy in the coaching role. Alchemists believe that everything will become something more advanced given time, and that the "Great Work" is to speed up that process. The image of transmuting base elements into gold is, of course, a metaphor for transformation. According to Marie-Louise von Franz (Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology), there is an unprogrammed aspect to the process of witnessing individuation, the ability to "observe what comes up without drawing hasty speculative conclusions." There is also a kind of mystical union, a shared mystery, a felt experience that is difficult to put into words and that is unique to that particular relationship through which the individual grows. Finally, von Franz touches upon an important question: do we have the right to encourage transformation when someone has simply asked for help with behavioral problems?
"Will we get worse and worse by becoming more conscious and estranged from nature and lose our balance, or is it the one thing we must do? Knowledge is either poisonous or healing. In an actual situation, however, you cannot assume a double attitude. Each time there is the terrible problem, shall I tell them, or not? Knowledge is part of the development of consciousness. and it must be paid for. It is costly, but it is up to you to choose whether you are willing to pay the price or not."
I believe that we need to be forceful and courageous enough to challenge people to go as far as they can go. It is, of course, their choice. But, in my experience, people have a strong hunger for meaning in their lives that can only be satisfied if they stop being slaves to their idealized images. During my first few years as an executive coach I gave clients what they asked for, but I could see that I was reinforcing their fixations and so I began to push them farther. Not everyone could make the leap (or wanted to), but those who did have found far more rewards than they ever anticipated when they started out to fix the immediate problem.
Transformation is hard work. We need to help those we work with:
- See the truth about how they play out their patterns;
- Undermine their habits, shake up the superstructure that holds self-defeating patterns together;
- See things in a new way, be willing (even eager) to face the unknown;
- Create a specific vision of what's possible, one that brings greater meaning and instills hope;
- Develop/reinforce the skills, understanding, and will to make the change.
This requires passionate commitment to our work. It requires attention to both the yin and the yang aspects of relationship. In an article in the summer 1999 Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter, Stephen Gilligan suggested that "disturbances of the 'normal order' (are) evidence that 'something is waking up' in the life of a person." He argued that such disturbances can become destructive or provide hidden opportunities for major growth, and that the difference is in "whether or not a disturbance can be 'sponsored' by a skillful human presence":
"To transform these seemingly negative experiences into their deeper positive values, sponsorship includes many processes. The 'yin' (receptive) aspect of sponsorship involves receiving, allowing your heart to be opened, bearing witness, providing place or sanctuary, soothing, gently holding, being curious, deep listening, and beholding a presence with the eyes of kindness and understanding. The 'yang' (active) aspect includes relentless commitment, fierce attentiveness, providing guidance, setting limits and boundaries, challenging self-limitations."
In the yin mode our primary goal is to be present with our clients, in the yang mode to help them be present to themselves. The key injunction in the yang mode is a paradoxical one: encouraging them to stay with the unwanted behavior, even to exaggerate it, instead of ignoring, denying, or tamping it down.
Helping others transform also requires devotion to our own transformation - using our Enneagram gifts, being open to observing how our own fixations sometimes limit us, and allowing all of this to be grist for the mill. It means:
- Looking for (and finding) the "divine spark" in everyone we work with, no matter how strong our negative bias.
- Being present -- engaging our heart, mind, body - and listening.
- Collaborating/offering advice, being compassionate/being tough - situationally and/or according to the client's Enneagram dynamics.
- Giving them the experience of true relationship with us: being flexible, being willing to learn from them, to admit it when we have made errors in action or advice; being self-disclosing.
- Using process analysis - making observations about whatever shows up in the room, including our own reactions to them, especially if they don't give credence to feedback from others.
- Helping them think systemically, to understand that interaction dynamics form a self-fulfilling system which they keep alive out of habit, even when it clearly isn't working for them.
- Using "Band-Aids" (quick fixes) without shame - they're fine (as long as we keep the whole process in view) because they provide immediate reinforcement.
- Giving homework (if they don't do it, give another kind of homework or have them create something they are willing to practice).
- Giving lots of alternatives; arraying their behavior on a continuum; moving them away from either/or thinking.
- Using metaphor, humor, dream-work; telling stories, quoting poetry - anything to slip past the censors.
- Believing in magic - inspiring, challenging, lovingly kicking in the pants as necessary, but never giving up looking for ways to help them be more present to themselves.

What's the Best All-Wheel-Drive System for You?
Arguably the industry leader in all-wheel drive is Audi. The German automaker introduced its famed quattro system in the spring of 1980 on a two-door car of the same name. It was the first volume-built permanent all-wheel-drive setup suitable for sporty vehicles, and that focus on driving performance continues today.
On the first-generation quattro system torque was split evenly between the front and rear axles. Under its boxy hood sat a longitudinally mounted engine, but the car featured at least one major innovation: a bevel-gear center differential. This complex-sounding part pulled double duty, directing power to the car's front wheels and eliminating the need for a transfer case and auxiliary shaft, two heavy and complicated components.
In its day the quattro was quick and responsive, a Cold War driving sensation. Owners could also manually lock the center and rear-axle differentials for better traction on slippery surfaces.
Some three decades later, quattro is still an automotive institution. It's gone through numerous iterations, sprouting torque-sensing differentials and electronically controlled hydraulic clutches along the way. But it's still a leader in its segment.
When Audi develops a new vehicle, quattro is included from day one, something its competitors don't necessarily do. In the words of Mark Dahncke, Product and Motorsports Communications Manager for Audi, competing systems are "engineered into the platform after the fact." He said including all-wheel drive from the start gives Audi "a very, very cohesive system" that "works together."
How these systems are attached to a vehicle's powertrain is a big deal too, and Dahncke said they've got the manufacturing experience to bring everything together in a unified package, similar to AAM's one-stop-shop approach.
Barrett said quattro is very complex, but also very compact because the system's all-wheel-drive components are actually packaged inside the transmission, which keeps things as tight as possible. According to him the layout is unique to Audi.
"Frankly it's the most expensive system," Dahncke said, noting that quattro is still mechanical, "not just an electronic chip." It's always engaged — a true full-time system — shuffling engine torque from axle to axle and wheel to wheel, maximizing grip and minimizing slip. But Audi is not the only game in town.
Subaru proves there's a lot more to all-wheel drive than just four wheels turning. Audi's cross-hemisphere rival prides itself on delivering this technology to a mass market.
"It's standard on all of our vehicles except the BRZ," said Dominick Infante, National Manager Product Communications for Subaru of America, Inc.
In a move similar to what Audi does, Infante said, "all of our cars are designed to be all-wheel drive," noting that they engineer it into vehicles from the get-go. Subaru calls its system "Symetrical All-Wheel Drive" because of how it sends the power to the wheels.
One key to this setup is the engine configuration they use. Thanks to a horizontally opposed layout and longitudinal mounting the company can run the front driveshafts right off the engine.
Competitors often retrofit all-wheel drive onto existing front-wheel-drive vehicles. With a transverse-mounted engine torque has to be transmitted around corners to drive the wheels, which complicates things and reduces efficiency – not so with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
Subaru has several different versions of its system. Cars equipped with manual transmissions feature a set 50:50 torque split front to rear. Models powered by their 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine use a different setup known as a Variable Torque Distribution system – VTD for short. Subarus with continuously variable transmissions use yet another version, as does the outrageously quick WRX STI. Interestingly the STI allows drivers to choose how the torque is split between the front and rear axles so they can customize how the car behaves, whether they're navigating a snow-covered mountain road or bombing around a race track.
Despite these different technologies Infante said, "we only have full-time all-wheel drive," contrasting it with some of the competition's systems that aren't as robust and can't put as much torque to the rear wheels. "With Subaru everything has to be a little bit overbuilt" he said. "It's kind of the Subaru way."
Swapping sushi for spätzle, another one of Germany's automotive crown jewels has its own take on all-wheel drive. BMW has earned a reputation for building cars with unassailable dynamics, and its xDrive system lives up to this standard.
A full-time setup, it features a defined torque split favoring the back axle. Under normal conditions either 60 percent or 80 percent of the torque is sent to the rear wheels, depending on the vehicle.
When conditions dictate, xDrive can deliver all of the engine's torque to the back tires and at least 50 percent of it can be shuttled to the front axle for extra grip in slippery situations.
In keeping with current industry trends, General Motors overwhelmingly favors part-time all-wheel drive. In fact, the only vehicles in its vast stable that are offered with a full-time system are big trucks – the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon Denali and Yukon Denali XL.
All other systems the company offers are on demand – they only engage when wheel slippage is detected.

Alien and angular, Tim Richardson's images jump off the page with a unique, distinctive dimensionality. It is a modern take on fashion and commerce, and one that has earned him portrait sessions with such progressive and groundbreaking subjects like Brooke Candy and Spike Lee, as well as editorials with envelope-pushing publications V Magazine, Oyster, and Dazed and Confused, just to name a few.
Richardson's extraterrestrial limits push even further in his films, where his futuristic vision gets pumped up with the help of added visual elements that allow for his frames to pause, bend, warp, shift, stutter, and slide--all to a complimentary soundtrack that makes for a fully immersive experience.
We dug around the ISAORA Brand Ambassador's archives to find some of our favorite images. For an all-encompassing view of his work, including clips from his engaging videos, we recommend visiting his website.

A good launch to a discussion of the space program and careers.
Much of what we know today about Earth is from images taken by cameras on powerful telescopes. Edwin Hubble changed our view of the universe. Working in an observatory, he found that there are other galaxies besides the Milky Way. He also showed that the universe is still growing. Lyman Spitzer, Jr. proposed placing telescopes in space, and in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched. It sends us amazing images of the universe.
Our solar system is made up of the millions of objects in the sky above us, including the Sun, moon, stars, and planets. This book examines the four planets closest to the Sun, known as the rocky planets. All four planets are described with facts about their atmospheres, landscapes, orbits, and Fun Facts that give additional information about each of these rocky planets! This book will allow students to use observations of the Sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.

The Full Kenzo x H&M Lookbook Is Here
Fashion week has historically been about looking at the runways, with editors and buyers digesting the looks sent out to formulate cohesive trends that hint at where style is heading in the upcoming seasons (spoiler alert: next spring is all about khaki and business-ready stripes). And while we'll never stop parsing the collections themselves, more and more focus is being paid to the street style outside the shows.More
Leather and suede are nice, but the bags currently topping the must-carry list are made of durable, wallet-friendly straw.

vacuum to front axle
I have a problem with my '99 5.9L 4x4. The 4WD shifter pops out after a few seconds, both 4HI and 4LO. I understand that I should check for vacuum at the front axle but could someone please explain how to do this? I have a vacuum gauge but should it pull a certain amount of mercury? Does the truck need to be in gear and in 4WD (both axles off the ground), do I check at the axle or the transfer case? If I have vacuum, what next?
Tough part is, I have no way to test it right now. No snow and no mud (no rain), just dry pavement and gravel roads.
Thanks everyone,
If the shifters popping out you need to look in the area of the transfer case . May be a linkage issue .
I should have mentioned, I adjusted the linkage. Or at least I tried. The trunnion was rusted to the shift rod pretty tight. I broke it loose but it pretty much ended up in the same spot on the shift rod after adjusting. With the linkage loose, it seemed like I could pop the shift lever back into 2HI with the slightest pressure. Is this a shift fork issue?
Could be in the transfer case . I think the transfer case only holds about 1 quart of tranny fluid . Have you pulled the plug out and checked the condition of it ?
Something else to look at is the engine/trans. mounts . Excessively worn or broken mounts can cause the lever to be pulled out of your selected range .
Yeah, the fluid was the first thing I checked. The case is pretty greasy, looks like the gasket used to join the two halves is leaking, but not a ton. The fluid was a little darker than normal but still red and smelled like tranny fluid. I would say the fluid was within a 1/4" of the fill hole.
BTW Tom, thanks for the quick reply.
Hopefully it hasn't been run low on fluid and damaged the unit .
I'm going with the linkage problem; it makes the most sense.
I'm hoping it will be that simple. Thing is, if I shift it into 4HI and crawl under the truck, I can push the shift lever (on the transfer case) just a little further into 4HI, maybe 3/16" but it feels like that's past the point of engagement and it just pops back that 3/16" anyway.
I'll try the likage adjustment again. I don't think I did a good job last time. I'll have to use a wire brush to clean the rust off the shift rod in order to get the trunnion to slide on the rod. I like the bad-mounts idea but how does one test a motor or tranny mount?
But not today, it's pouring rain.
Look for obvious signs of cracking, or sagging in the case of the motor mounts. Pry up on the trans mount to see if it's seperated.

New Delhi: The United Nations will release this week the negotiating texts for the December summit on climate change in Copenhagen, marking another milestone in the countdown to a gruelling battle over the funds developing nations need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
Click here to watch video
A key issue is a proposal for "long-term cooperative action" that would spell out the action to be taken by developing nations to reduce emissions. The mitigating action is to be funded by advanced countries held responsible for most of the emissions responsible for global warming.
Also See Country Positions (Graphics)
But this is where agreement is elusive. Not only are the sources of finance unclear, because of the global recession, but the process of financing and the agencies to be used to channel the funds are also under debate. Mint reported on the lack of finances to mitigate climate change on 12 May.
Another issue is whether developing countries will agree to expose their mitigation plans (known as nationally appropriate mitigation actions, or Namas) to global scrutiny and review before developed countries have offered finances to fund a low-carbon path.
Any mitigation project, its performance targets or mitigation impact will not be measurable, verifiable or reportable (MRV) unless finance and technology to reduce emissions are put on the table, said Shyam Saran, the prime minister's special envoy on climate change. "There is no such thing as MRV for mitigation action with no MRV for finance and technology," Saran said in an interview.
"We welcome the idea of an international registry (for mitigation projects) with legal status. We have no problem with (a) review of projects either. But developed countries are saying not only these actions but your entire plan on sustainable development should be subject to international scrutiny, and that we cannot accept."
During negotiations, China and India have called for 1% of the developed world's gross domestic product (GDP) to be committed to developing countries for emission cuts. As of now, negotiation submissions do not mention any concrete financial commitments.
Who will control and facilitate the distribution of funds and review the performance of mitigation projects is also a matter of debate. The Group of 77 (G-77) developing countries and China have opposed channelling any funds through the Global Environment Fund or the World Bank. The G-77 argues that unlike the UNFCCC, in which every country has a single vote, agencies such as the World Bank are undemocratic.
Saran added: "Money needs to be governed by all parties under the UNFCCC. The money or projects cannot be donor-driven. Donors cannot dictate how the money will be spent on which country, which is what is happening to most programme funds under UN agencies."
The conference in Copenhagen will negotiate a treaty that will set commitments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2012, after the expiry of commitments made under the Kyoto Protocol.

DirecTV Caves to Social Media Pressure and Eventually Helps Stroke Victim
Update: Robert Mercer, director of public relations for DirecTV, told Hair Balls, via e-mail, "This was obviously a terrible mistake, it should never have happened and of course we apologize to the customer and his family. This is clearly a case where common sense and reason should have trumped rules."
The Leeder family recently found out how DirecTV does business: The company will not, under any circumstances, break a contract or waive cancellation fees, even if you've had a stroke and will never need the service again, unless you complain on Facebook and Twitter.
That's pretty much the way it went down after Robert Leeder, an 87-year-old World War II veteran who lives outside of Conroe, suffered a stroke that paralyzed half his body. Leeder moved to a nursing home, using his Veterans Affairs Benefits, Social Security and a small pension, according to his son Andre.
"It's something that you just don't think of until it hits the fan," Andre Leeder tells Hair Balls. "If we don't get some of this paperwork nailed down, it could be not good. This could cost people their houses, everything they've got."

The family had to handle a million details while moving Leeder out of his house, and one that seemed tiny at the time was canceling his DirecTV service. Andre called the satellite company to do so, asking for a final bill. The DirecTV representative told Andre that it wasn't a problem.
The trouble started when the family got a bill for $426, including a $400 fee for terminating the contract.
An e-mail exchange between Andre Leeder and DirecTV ensued. From Andre's e-mail:
Robert Leeder is my 87-year-old father. He has had stroke that paralyzed one half of his body. This has put him in a nursing home from which he will not return and no one will be living in this location. When I canceled the service I was not informed that he was under contract.
Under these circumstances, we would like to request for your company to credit the $400 cancellation charge to this account. I can provide Doctor's Certifications, if necessary.
And DirecTV's response:
I'm sorry to hear about your father's current health condition. I understand your concern with regard to the early cancellation fee...Since he canceled his service or did not maintain the minimum programming requirements, his account was charged with an early cancellation fee of $400. We feel this fee is valid and we are unable to waive it.
"I'm not surprised. It kind of seems like the norm these days," Andre says. "If you've got an insurance claim, they do the best to duck it. Nothing goes easy."
So, on Tuesday, Andre's wife Robin posted about her family's trouble on her Facebook page and Twitter account, basically saying that DirecTV would not allow Leeder to cancel his service, without paying the fee, even after he had a stroke.
"It set off a firestorm," Andre Leeder says. "There were hundreds of responses, and I'm talking within minutes."
Last night, Andre sent Hair Balls an update on the situation, via e-mail:
I spoke with Robin and she told me about her most recent conversation with DirecTV. Apparently, the intervention from DirecTV came from a district manager who saw her entry on Facebook. His commitment was to credit the account for $400...
DirecTV must have personnel dedicated to monitoring social media or no phone call would have been forthcoming. They obviously care about this ground swell phenomenon. I can see how once the cat is out of the bag, the dam will break and everyone with a beef will be up their collective corporate butts...
We haven't heard back from a DirecTV representative, but we'll be sure to update as soon as we do.

Dr Joebstl was an excellent doctor to me for years. I moved out of the area , therefore I am no longer a patient if her's. As for her "Bedside Manner", you can tell that she takes her job serious, but she can appear flat or not very social and sometimes stern. I often thought this might be cultural. Yet, this is the type of doctor I need, as it is a doctor's job to support me with my own health. Aside from the doctor, the staff there were always wonderful and friendly.

1 star is too generous! She has absolutely ZERO bedside manner and I'm sure she knows and just doesn't care! She never even knocked on the door before entering the room she barged in and went straight for the computer. She typed her note the entire visit. Talked down to me the entire time like I was a moron. She referred me to a Dr and had her staff schedule me an appt without even asking me 1st.....this referred Dr was nowhere near where I lived, and was completely out of my insurance covered network! If she would have taken the time to ask me questions or my availability 1st she would have known. (Thank god I know better to ask plenty of questions at check out). She seemed bothered that she had to order quite a bit of testing for my "headaches" and focused on things that were of little importance. Overall she was rude, no bedside manner, and was buried in her computer! I will never return to her and am puzzled how she still has patients. This behavior should be unacceptable for Penn Medicine. This is what you call top 10 in the nation?

No bedside manner
The entire visit was one of the strangest experiences I have ever had with a physician. No bedside manner, talked to in a condescending manner, looked at back of her head most of the time. When she did look at me, focused on least important things. Agree with the rest of the reviews. At the end of the appointment the office staff was not helpful either

wish i had read the previous reviews!!!
This doctor walked into the room, never shook my hand, no eye contact at all, I spent over 1/2hr. Looking at the back of her head, her bedside manner is horrible!!! I told her how my pressure goes up after eating, no response...will try the other doctor in the office and see how that goes....no wonder it was soo easy to get an appointment!!

May be a money wheel
I have been going to this doctor for several years now. There are some things that I do like about her. She could use some help on her bedside manner but she does care. I think she is very thorough. The staff is generally cordial to me; never had problems there. I do think it's a money wheel though. I have been to her every one to three months for hbp. You should have at least six months to a year to work on the issue. The appts in between can only be about money. That is why I'm considering getting a new doc. If she's doing more folks like this she is making a huge bundle! How much of my vacation and personal days can you use for one doc.

Oh,,what everyone else said! The staff is rude, was not greeted/acknowelged when I entered the office. Any phone contact after was about as pleasant.Dr. Joebstl has NO bedside manner at all! I do not need to be spoken to as if I'm a total idiot or lectured. Follow up was a disaster, the office had my phone number WRONG and had been calling someone else's phone and leaving my lab info!! They followed up with a letter to my home, accused me of not calling back, entire experience was BAD. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Horrible experience..waited 2 1/2 hours before the doctor entered the exam room. She spent most of the time entering information into the computer. She did not look at lab work provided by my primary physician and ended up ordering a test that was already done, nor did she even read the final report provided by the primary physician. Absolutely no bedside manner whatsoever.

"I feel really let down by the dietician"

Posted by Verbal499 (as ),
I feel really let down by the dietician. He stopped my drinks too soon.
All my life I have not been well. But as soon as I started taking Fresubin I felt real well. I put on some weight, it helped me when I had cancer. It made me feel like a new man.
People told me that I really look well, all I need is all my drinks back please, so I can get back to normal.

God has much better for us than the supposed 'Lesser (?) of two Evils!'
The Bible says "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a DISGRACE to any people!" (Proverbs 14:34) Does God want America to be disgraced?? We have had MUCH of that already; and the righteous have been fighting it for 8 years! WHY then would God want us to AGREE with it NOW?? Crazy!! The Bible says God does NOT go against Himself! Jesus said "If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand." (Mark 3:25) Righteousness vs Disgrace! Choose ye – which will it be? Which shall we have?

So I was making chocolate buttercream for a cake due tomorrow and I think I made a big boo-boo. I think I put an extra cup of buttercream in my recipe somehow. The icing tastes fabulous and is a great consistency (my mom says she would never have known had I not said something), but I worry how this would affect covering the cake in fondant. I was in the middle of smoothing it on the cake before I realized what I'd done. Do I need to scrape it all off and start over? Here is what I used:
1 cup salted butter
1 cup (actually two, oops!) shortening
6 oz melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla
2 lbs powdered sugar
4 tbsp water
I was having to fight off my 22-month-old the entire time I was making this icing, so that is how I messed up and got started icing my cake before I noticed my blunder. AAAAHHHH!! I really didn't want to start the day like this.
It should be okay. It might be a little softer than usual but there are so many recipes with varying amounts of fat it's not a huge deal. Unless the cake is going to be somewhere really hot it shouldn't matter.
Or you could double up on the rest of the ingredients as well to make a double batch and freeze the excess. It will give you a leg up next time you need chocolate icing.
I wouldn't worry. My buttercream recipe is a chunk of butter about half that much shortening, enough icing sugar to make it look good and a slosh of milk. It always works.
Thanks, guys. I wound up freaking myself out because it wasn't hardening in the refrigerator and just scraping off as much as I could and adding what would make a full recipe and it tasted soooo much better. The oops was left as the filling, but the client didn't notice the difference. If I had the picture on my computer I would post it.
softer than usual

Working on That Green Thumb
I have had high hopes of a plentiful garden in my backyard for a year or two now. Unfortunately, with the poor quality of our soil, we have come to the conclusion that not much will be able to grow well. So, we have added a raised garden bed to our list of things to build :) We might even go with the raised garden kits you can buy. This will most likely be a project for next year.
After a friend of mine gave me some already grown mint, I decided to try planting a couple other things.. basil and tomatoes. I love using the mint in my water and hot tea. I even found a few recipes to try using fresh mint. I use lots of basil and tomatoes, so they just seemed like the best picks for now.
Some might say I took the easy way out, but for my first time planting, I decided to go the Seed Pod™ route.
They were super easy to plant - as you can see from the instructions below.
How to Plant:
1. Remove entire lid from Seed Pod™.
2. Choose a sunny spot.
3. Push Seed Pod™ into loosened soil until pod top is level with soil's surface.
4. There is no need to cover the pod with soil.
5. Space Seed Pods™ 12" apart.
6. Keep Seed Pod™ moist.
This is what my 'plentiful' garden looks like as of now :) It's not much, but I am excited to have started, no matter how small. I won't see any germination for another month or so, but you better believe I check them out on a daily basis!
Any gardeners out there have any tips for me for when I am ready to start my garden?

Feeling down all the time during my pregnancy
If you are feeling down all the time during your pregnancy it sounds like you are suffering from depression. If you are suffering from depression is it very important to talk to your family and your doctor. It is important to be honest with them about what you are feeling. Your doctor should be able to recommend treatment that is safe for pregnancy and that will help your symptoms.
Please do not suffer in silence. There is nothing to be ashamed about and no reason to keep quiet about how you are feeling. Please reach out to your doctor, family and friends. A good support team is vital in helping you through this difficult time. Remember that you did nothing wrong and you have nothing to be ashamed about. Please seek treatment.
It is really important to seek treatment now. If you are already experiencing symptoms of depression you are at a greater risk of developing postpartum depression. Postpartum depression can be serious and even life threatening for both you and your baby if left untreated.
You are not alone. Please seek treatment.

For the Base64 problem, I did not really find the "nice" fix, so what I did was to checkout from CVS the corresponding file and copy it in the 'src' dir (with the right sub-folders).

Mallorca star tests positive
By Mark Kendall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 30-year-old tested positive for an as yet unnamed substance in both his A and B sample after a World Cup qualifier against Venezuela on March 31st.
Correa played the final 31 minutes of the game after coming on to replace Javier Chevanton in a 3-0 win.
The former Atletico Madrid hit-man is now likely to face a lengthy ban from Fifa, but Uruguay coach Jorge Fossati insists the player will be supported.
"Now the most important thing, and the only thing that we can do, is to be close to the person that is involved in this," Fossati stated.
"We have to help him and give him all our support.
"We can't be blind in respect to these kind of things that are happening everywhere.
"This isn't something that happens only in football so we have to help the person that has a problem like this. It's a problem that we all have to fight against."

Hamilton County kicks off Bicentennial celebration Dec. 11
In 2016, Indiana will celebrate its 200th birthday. Hamilton County will begin its kickoff to the state's Bicentennial celebrations with a flag-raising ceremony on Dec. 11, which is Statehood Day.
The event will begin at 11:55 a.m. with attendees gathering about 10 minutes earlier at the Noblesville Visitors Center, 839 Conner Street in Noblesville. The ceremony itself will take place at the Hamilton County Judicial Center Steps on 8th Street in Noblesville.
Hamilton County commissioner Mark Heirbrandt will speak as the Indiana state flag is raised. In addition to government officials, 1812 re-enactors will also be at the event. The flag raising commemorates the 199th anniversary of the day President James Madison signed the act admitting Indiana as the 19th state.
Additional events will be announced regarding the Bicentennial for 2016, but this will serve as a kick-off of sorts. Statewide, municipalities, historical groups and other organizations will host events throughout the year, including festivals, landmark improvements and more. A torch will be delivered that travels throughout Indiana cities, including Carmel. The Indiana Bicentennial Commission reports that there are nearly 700 registered projects, with more than half designated Bicentennial Legacy Projects.

Mold found in homes is a type of fungus that lives by breaking down the material on which it resides. As part of their life cycle, molds produce spores for reproduction. It's these mold spores that cause health problems. Because the mold spores travel in the air, it is difficult to get rid of them directly. For most homes, it's nearly impossible to remove all traces of mold and mold spores. Therefore, the best approach is to use green products to reduce the amount to a level that is safe for the people living there.
Step 1 - Find and Identify Mold
Look for molds and their residue (they usually can be found as clusters of dark spots or patches) on walls, floors, baseboards, furniture, fixtures or carpeting. Mold most commonly can be found in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is more prevalent.
Step 2 - Remove Mold
Moisten a damp cloth with vinegar and use it to wipe away mold on flat surfaces. Vinegar kills mold on contact. For irregular areas, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and use it to spray moldy areas, then wipe them clean as best as you can. For carpets, cover them with baking soda for several hours and then vacuum. For stubborn molds, try tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract, both natural green products that can be found in most health food stores.
Step 3 - Lower the Moisture Level in the Air
Use a dehumidifier to reduce mold growth by lowering the indoor humidity levels to below 50 percent. A good green product for doing so is the Dry-Out natural dehumidifier. It uses no electricity or other power source. Instead, it pulls moisture out of the air using a type of salt. Also, be sure to use exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.
Step 4 - Remove Mold Spores From the Air
Several common green products can be used for for removing mold spores from the air. Beeswax candles, when burned, remove positive ions from the air, which spores cling to for transport. According to studies by Dr. Bill Wolverton, some common house plants (including Chinese evergreen, peace lily and arrowhead vine) actually reduce the number of mold spores in the air, along with other pollutants.
Use Energy Star air purifiers. Electronic air purifiers, particularly the HEPA variety, made to reduce the amount of very tiny particles such a bacteria and mold spores, can help to rid the air of most mold spores.

The Skeletal System!
5 basic functions of bones:
Support~ Bones provide the internal framework that supports the body. The bones of the legs work like pillars supporting the body trunk when we stand, and the rib cage supports the thoracic wall.
Protection~ Bones protect and cradle the body's soft organs. The fused bones of the skull act as a snug enclosure for the brain and the vertebrae surround the spinal cord.
Movement~ Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons and practically use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts.
Storage~ The internal cavities of bones works as a storage facility for fat and minerals. These minerals mainly consist of calcium and phosphorous.
Blood cell formation~ Hematopoiesis occurs within the marrow cavities of certain bones.
Classification of Bones:
Long Bones~ These particular bones are usually longer than they are wide. As a rule they have a shaft with heads at both ends, and contain mostly compact bone.
Short Bones~ Generally Cube-shaped and are composed mostly of spongy bone. Wrist and ankle bones are short bones.
Flat Bones~ They are thin, flattened, and usually curved. They have two thin layers of compact bone sandwiching a layer of spongy bone.
Irregular Bones~ Any bones that do not fit in one of proceeding catagories.
Bone Formation/Growth:
Key Points~
~Bone and cartilage make up most of the structure of the skeletal system.
~Skeletons of embryos are mostly composed of hyaline cartilage, whereas young children only having a few cartilage remains in isolated areas because most of it has turned into bone.
~Most bones, with the exception of flat bones, use hyaline cartilage as their 'model' structure. Flat bones form on fibrous membranes.
~Bone formation (Ossification) involves two main phases: First off, the hyaline cartilage becomes covered with bone matrix by forming osteoblasts. Soon, the enclosed hyaline cartilage model is digested away which opens up a medullary cavity within the new bone.
~When bones become fully grown, the epiphyseal line is formed. This line is a remnant of the epiphyseal plate, and appears when long bones are completely grown.

Of course, a simple trip to the park is not a dry one this time of year. After playing in the park for a while we made it to the van and I thought we were home free, but there sat a large, and apparently very tempting, puddle in the parking lot. The kids headed into it. Just when I thought I'd try to avoid the wet/cold kid scenario, I realized that they were actually grabbing different things and testing to see if they float. So what's a homeschooling mama to do but let them learn! So we tested sticks, rocks, an old apple core they found, and a soggy glove some unfortunate soul dropped in the parking lot. We tried tiny twigs and big huge sticks and observed how no matter how big, the wood still would float. Sure there shoes got wet but it was sunny at least!
Before hand we had went on a trip to the Children's Museum only to find out that the entire parking ramp was full so we turned around. The kids were disappointed, of course, so we decided to go to Ecopolitan for a raw vegan parfait. It wasn't busy at all there at that time so the kids walked back to the juice bar that overlooks the kitchen and watched the food being prepared and talked to the workers about raw foods and everything else they could think of. They asked about their dehydrator and their big giant walk-in freezer. Luckily, the staff was very cool and didn't mind chatting at all. After the parfait, the kids went on and on about it, telling the employees that the parfait was even better than going to the museum! We ordered some raw taco pizza slices as well. The staff seemed to be enjoying the kids' enthusiasm and even gave them some extra strawberries to nibble on as they went on about how they liked the taco pizza even better than the vegan ice cream they had... All this leading to a very happy mommy knowing that the kids enjoyed such a healthy lunch so much!
Another highlights of our week included a sighting by Ava of an eagle sitting up in the neighbor's tree at dusk. She was out playing and saw it across our street. She then waited at the end of the drive way so she could point it out to everyone on their evening strolls. It was such a nice night out and she even met some new neighbors we hadn't talked with yet!
The kids happen to be night owls (Ava tells everyone she is "nocturnal,") so night times can get quite late. Thankfully, we get to be flexible. The other night the kids were playing while John and I watched a show and around 10 pm I thought we should start trying to get everyone to bed. Just then, Planet Earth came on the National Geographic channel and the kids were instantly fixated on it and asking questions. So the night ended up even later. We didn't make it through the whole movie before everyone was too sleepy but they did get in some great late-night learning.
(Not sure what happened to the allignment of this paragraph. It won't let me fix it though...)
This is a random aside but I have some cute pictures so I'm stickin it in:
At home, we don't need a specific "Home Economics" curriculum to get the idea of how to do the daily activities like dishes, cooking, laundry, etc. All three kids get involved in daily chores and cooking. Of course, this isn't some spectacular daily occurance that the kids happily do all the chores. But they are young and this is a fun learning process too! On the most part, I think that like other learning, if this is a forced and hated event the good habit won't last. So the kids have had fun doing laundry, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, and other helpful chores around the house on their own. I look forward to learning things like sewing, gardening, and do-it-yourself projects as well as they get older. It's kind of strange school has to have a formal class on the subject since most of us don't know how to do many of these basic things anymore.
Along with all the spring weather comes the mud! As Noah exclaimed coming in from playing the other day "MOM! DIRT AND WATER MAKE MUD!!!!" It's become one of my favorite moments I think (and a cute picture!).
Some more fun during the week was spent at Pump It Up with friends which wore the kids out nicely and then a return to a much less-busy Children's Museum!

While millions of consumers carry on unaware, powerful companies are racing to gain more knowledge and data than anyone, including any government, has ever had. The goal is to understand consumer behavior and desires, from mundane matters to our most private and intimate affairs. This massive trove of data represents an immense prize for these companies. In economic terms it is one of the most valuable assets on the planet.
In All You Can Pay, Anna Bernasek and D. T. Mongan show how companies use what they know about you to determine how much you are willing to pay for certain products and services. Colleges calculate the price you pay based on the information revealed in the application almost all parents submit for federal aid. Hotels, sports events, and health products and services are also using this strategy. The price of everything online - from airline tickets to toilet paper - now fluctuates from moment to moment. Through a toxic combination of price discrimination and cutting-edge technology, sellers can instantly change the price they charge an individual based on their calculations of demand and supply at that point in time. Online stores use your zip code to charge you a different price from someone in another zip code.
Bernasek and Mongan offer a dire warning and demonstrate how big data threatens the very icon of the American way: the free market. The ability to understand consumers on a granular level, in real time, and simultaneously to customize the price each person is offered shifts the balance of power away from the consumer so dramatically that the freedom of markets is at risk. The trend is alarming, and, if left unchecked, the destination is clear. Yet consumers and companies can still choose a different path, and in this chilling and illuminating book, Bernasek and Mongan show us how.
