This summer, I had the opportunity to accompany my 16-year-old son and his buddy on a "crash course"--or rather, a "crash prevention course"--in driving. This was not a typical driver's education class taught as a sideline by the high school history teacher. This was a four-hour course with instruction from professional race car drivers!
The program is called "Driver's Edge," (www.driversedge.org) and is a nonprofit established by pro driver Jeff Payne in response to the staggering statistics on car accidents among young drivers. We signed up for the closest training on their National Tour, and the boys were privy to $400 worth of professional training each--at no charge. Though I was there as an observer, I learned more in those four hours than anyone had ever taught me about driving. But what struck me most was how much the driving instructors taught me about successful living.
As managers of your clients' wealth, you serve as both driver and driving instructor, and the last thing you want is a crash. Let's look at what the winners on the track have to say about steering toward success:
"Always look at where you want to go." This principle, underlined in the "Driver's Edge" manual, was emphasized throughout the training. Seems simple, but looking ahead actually takes considerable discipline. People usually look right in front of them. They look at where they are. And they look at the obstacles they want to avoid. Professional drivers learn to set their gaze ahead as far as possible--to look around the curve, to focus on where they want to go, not just where they happen to be.
The instructors drilled into us that our eyes are the driver's most important tools. Though we may associate racers with their quick reflexes and high-powered cars, their real skill is visual. As one instructor put it, "Your hands will do whatever your eyes tell them to." Just look there, and you will go there.
So, in order to get where we want to go, we need to look there. Yet, when it comes to financial matters, it's easy to be short-sighted. Even when we think about long-range goals such as retirement or wealth-enhancing investments, we might ask, "Is this all there is?" It is not until we risk looking beyond our comfortable range that we can see possibilities that really excite and move us to meaningful new realities. Bill Gates didn't stop at creating a multi-billion dollar corporation; he's working to feed the world. Real wealth emerges from vision--not a one-time revelation, but the practice of seeing further and farther out, from "what is" to "what could be."
This principle is one of the hardest for people to grasp. As the instructors noted, we naturally want to focus on a target--looking to the great wide open makes us nervous. Yet, when we learn to look beyond the present, we are ultimately safer. We notice more; we avoid quick turns, jerky movements, skids and collisions. And we get there.
"Don't target; fixate." The instructor who led the skid-training exercise talked about what happens when a car makes a direct hit into a telephone pole. He argued that the driver of the car is steering very well: "Wide open spaces in every direction, and she manages to make a direct hit into a narrow pole." Just as we avoid looking ahead, people tend to focus on obstacles--and then hit them. Worry about money is a great example of this fixation. Worry moves us closer to the obstacle. We worry about having to work harder to make more money, and we work harder--proving that we are slaves to work. We worry about theft, and our resources go toward protecting the fortune rather than expanding it.
Letting go of obstacles, looking back to the open road rather than the securely rooted pole, requires courage. And that's where the excitement begins. My son drove at full speed onto a wet course that had been topped off with liquid detergent. (Do not try this at home!). The instructor pulled on the emergency brake, forcing him into a skid, and told my son to ignore the cones and look ahead. He stayed between the cones and kept the car on course. He was exhilarated. And he was safe.
We tend to operate on the very dangerous assumption that what is close and known is safe. This is why abused children grow to find abusive lovers, why credit cards start to own their owners, and why scared drivers run into telephone poles. But what a happy realization to learn that what is safer is also more exciting and interesting!
"It is better to anticipate than it is to react." Most drivers pay closest attention to what is right ahead of them. While this may sound like a good idea, it can be dangerous--especially when what is in front of you appears out of nowhere. Like target-fixation, restricting our view feels safe but puts us at risk.
But if we're looking way ahead, will we miss what's close by? Thankfully, our eyes can accommodate the whole scene. When we look far ahead, we still see what is close. And we see things before they get close. We anticipate rather than react.
For example, if you are not exiting for another 10 miles, there's no need for you to get stuck behind a slow-moving vehicle. If you're looking ahead, you'll anticipate the potential obstacle and easily work your way around it. If you're looking immediately in front of you, you'll come up on the slowpoke, perhaps muttering a few expletives, and will need to react--that is, if there's time.
When we look to where we want to go, the destination becomes the reality we adjust to. So if your destination is to be free of weighty possessions and to travel without a care, a deal on high-maintenance property won't tempt you. A good driver is not just wishing for a better destination. She is on her way.
This attitude of working backwards from where we are going requires a new attitude toward reality. We usually refer to "reality" as what we come back to after vacation--the part of life we dislike, the slow cars and annoying people who get in our way. These things are no more "reality" than relaxing in the sun or hitting a financial jackpot. Reality is whatever you want it to be--if only you have the courage to look there.
Like good driving, looking to our personal destination takes practice. Here are some ways you can help you clients improve their skills:
1. When you ask a client about his goals, challenge him to look even farther out. What excites him? If he had nine lives to spare, what scenarios would he want to play out?
2. Encourage your client to give regular time to daydreaming, to imagining in detail the possibilities for her life--and for her money.
3. Help your clients connect smaller decisions with the big picture. Ask: "Is this taking you toward your destination?"
4. Be open--and help your client be open--to changes in itinerary. As awareness grows, new possibilities emerge. Allow the best to get better.
Looking farther out can feel uncomfortable at first. Remind your clients that discomfort is a good sign--evidence that they are trying something new, moving out of the circular skid, even entering new territory. And just on the other side of discomfort is excitement. Don't believe me? Check out the crowd at the next NASCAR race.

Curtis Glencross called in a couple of favours Saturday afternoon.
His buddies in Edmonton came through.
Glencross rang up Tom Gilbert and Kyle Brodziak and made a plea.
"Yeah, I said 'Boys, come on, get your act together and go,' " Glencross said of his conversation with his former teammates.
Thanks to Edmonton's win over the Vancouver Canucks later Saturday night, Glencross and the Flames are back in control of their destiny in regards to the Northwest Division title.
Wins tonight against Los Angeles and tomorrow in Vancouver against the Canucks would put the Flames no more than one victory away from the division title and the No.-3 seed that comes with it when the playoffs begin.
Plus, Calgary has the edge in the first tiebreaker: Wins.
You bet news Edmonton won was a boost for the beleaguered Flames.
"Oh sure, it's a mental refresher. You're still in control," head coach Mike Keenan said. "Basically, I think it's going to come down to that game Tuesday."
True, but likely only if the Flames beat the Kings first.
If Calgary loses tonight, and blows its game against the Kings, the climb will be bigger. Still, it's about thinking positive these days.
And then making the most of the opportunities.
"Any time you can have a team do that, it's a good thing," Glencross said of the Edmonton victory. "At the same time, it's in our hands anyway. We have to go play our game, and if we don't play how we can, it doesn't matter.
"There's a lot of desperate teams right now, so you have to be ready to play."
It remains to be seen who'll be playing tonight for the Flames.
Because of the club's close proximity to the salary cap, and all the injuries -- eight players were out last game -- the Flames had only 16 skaters last game, two below the limit.
The good news is defenceman Adrian Aucoin took part in yesterday's practice and looks like he'll return.
"If things go well, I think he'll be fine to play," Keenan said.
But that appears to be the only help on the immediate horizon.
Defencemen Robyn Regehr (lower body, believed to be a knee), Cory Sarich (lower body, foot or ankle) didn't practise yesterday. Fellow blueliner Mark Giordano (shoulder) is not even skating yet, and Rhett Warrener (shoulder) isn't going to receive medical clearance soon.
Forwards Rene Bourque (ankle) and Andre Roy (hand) skated before their teammates, so they're not about to return, while C Wayne Primeau (foot) is likely done until next season.
That means the Flames will dress one or both of rookie defencemen Matt Pelech and John Negrin, although one may be sent down to the minors to call up a forward.
Either way, it appears the Flames may play with only 17 skaters the rest of the season.
"We're aware of it and we're preparing ourselves to get through this week with the situation," Keenan said.
At least the Flames have had time to digest the situation and the experience of playing through it. In Minnesota, they were admittedly too passive in the early going, which was costly in the 4-0 defeat.
"Sure, you've got guys injured and banged up, but every team does," Glencross said. "You can't use it as an excuse all the time. You've got to go out and do your thing."
For starters, motivation shouldn't be an issue.
"It's almost like a mini playoff before the playoffs," captain Jarome Iginla said. "We're tied with Vancouver. Both teams have it within their control, and it's going to be who takes it. I'm looking forward to it. I know our guys are.
"There's a lot of things that are positive, and it's going to be a fun week."
Finding a few goals would help. Make that finding a lot of goals.
The Flames are in a horrible offensive slump, having scored only six goals in the last six games -- shut out three times -- and their top guys have been silent.
"It's been a tough stretch, but we feel like we're on the way up and we're about ready to break out here," Iginla said.

Last year's drought was hard on holiday bakers because it shrank the Texas pecan crop. Thanks to nature's response, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service predicts an "exceptionally large," 65 million-pound harvest this year. In average years, it's more like 50 million to 55 million pounds.
"When stressed, a pecan tree will form more fruit in an attempt to make sure the species is preserved," notes AgriLife Extension horticulturist Monte Nesbitt in a prepared statement. If the crop prediction holds, this is likely to bring prices down from last year's scarcity-driven spike.

Skip to comments.Maine Senator Bucks Republican Party on Gay Immigration Rights
Posted on 09/21/2012 2:42:19 AM PDT by markomalley
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins again took a step outside of her party's box Wednesday on the issue of gay rights when she became the first Republican in the Senate to co-sponsor legislation that she says would give same-sex couples immigration rights equal to those of heterosexual couples.
Collins, who's bucked her party before on gay rights issues, joined a long list of Democratic sponsors of the Uniting American Families Act. The bill would give same-sex couples the chance to sponsor their significant other for citizenship.
"This legislation would simply update our nation's immigration laws to treat bi-national couples equally," Collins said in a release. "This important civil rights legislation would help prevent committed, loving families from being forced to choose between leaving their family or leaving their country."
Under current law, same-sex couples are not afforded the same rights as heterosexual couples when it comes to the country's immigration policies.
According to U.S. census data there are roughly 36,000 same-sex, binational couples this bill could affect.
Collins has been a long-time advocate for gay rights and has co-sponsored other legislation including the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act, which would give gay federal employees the same health and insurance benefits that heterosexual employees receive for their families. She also sponsored the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which makes it illegal to fire someone based on their sexual orientation. In 29 states, there is currently no law to protect people from being denied jobs or promotions based on their sexual orientation. [Rand Paul Fillbuster on Pakistan Aid Could Force Senate into Overtime.]
Those who oppose the bill say the legislation could increase immigration fraud because same-sex couples can't legally marry in most states.
"Because there isn't a paper trail for many people like this, it might be more open to fraud," says Mark Kirkorian, the executive director for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank in Washington that seeks tighter control on immigration.
Kirkorian says it is possible individuals might lie about being in a "permanent" relationship in an effort to get a green card, adding the country must decide on whether to give all gays the right to marry before they try and give them equal rights through immigration reform.
"This is a culture war issue that is trying to be advanced through immigration law, and I think that is a mistake," Kirkorian says.
That can't fly - sponsoring others into the US by saying "he was my boyfriend" ?
I saw the headline and thought it was a piece by Mr. Semmens.
Sometimes truth is stranger than (semi-) satire
Never forget, this "republican" senator gave birth to Obamacare. Her swing vote brought it out of committee instead of stopping it. If Obama is the father if this bastard program, Snow is the mother.
She must hang around Ogunquit a lot during the summer..../s =.=
My God, if she would just reword it to address minority gay immigrants, she'd have a liberal trifecta and would be assured praise and adulation from the media...until it came time to trash Republicans.
This bytch should have switched to the demoncrap party years ago.
Sorry Ms Collins but chosing to be a pervert is no reason for someone to get specual rights.
I would not be surprised if McCain, Graham, and Rubio vote in favor of this
Totally insane.
I cannot believe we consider liberals to be "on our side" with an R by their name and then watch as the party slimes and attacks actual conservatives.
I'm shocked I tell you just shocked! /s
Graham maybe, the other two, NO
Old biddie from Maine.
Yes, the government sets forth all the wrong incentives, but the American people just can't understand, or maybe they approve. The American people at first condemned sin, then pitied it, and now embrace it.
Lugar too would like to get a parting shot in, but people in IN were fooled for forty years by him.
Olympia Snow was responsible for that legislative miscarriage.
"This Republican Senator" sponsoring gay immmigration is Susan Collins.
I suppose in the coming weeks, Obama will issue an new Executive Order For Gay Immigration.
>> "This Republican Senator" sponsoring gay immmigration is Susan Collins. <<
The Maine twins are equally bad RINOs.

There has been a good amount o speculation about who the guest feature would be on [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rihanna[/lastfm]'s latest album, Talk That Talk.
Previously, the Roc Nation singer tweeted, "One feature on the album! And we got the best!!!!!" The vague message had the internet scurring around trying to figure out. But we can put that all to rest now, because the producer has spoken.
[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Stargate[/lastfm] worked with Rihanna on her title track, "Talk That Talk," and reveled recently that the guest feature is none other than the Roc Boss himself, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jay-Z[/lastfm]. Stargate is duo of producers that had been itching to get into the studio with both Rih and Jay, "This is the first time we do a song with Jay-Z and Rihanna together. Actually it's the first time Jay does anything on our beats," said Tor Erik Hermansen, one half of the hitmaking duo. "It was about time."
[photogallerylink id=121721 align=left]This isn't the first time, however, that Jay-Z and Rihanna have worked together. In fact, when they work together, magic seems to happen, you may remember Rihanna's breakout single "Umbrella," don't you? And we can't sleep on "Run This Town" either. Together, they make Roc Nation shine, that's undeniable.
Stargate says that "Talk That Talk" is a showcase of both of artists talents, "Talk That Talk' is a mid-tempo banger with hard drums, dirty synths, and Rihanna and Jay at their best. We are very happy with the song and Jay's verse is crazy—same with Rihanna's part," said Hermansen.
The album comes out in just a few weeks, November 21st. I'll be playing close attention the only collaboration on the project. If history is any indication, I'm just going start right now waving my hands in the air, like I just don't care.

We all love [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nicki Minaj[/lastfm]'s voices, don't we. I know I swoon when she puts on her best British accent and dices it with cockney appeals that remind some of "My Fair Lady". But maybe that's just me!
Regardless, we listen because she mixes it up every time. Well, we already have read reports that Nicki plans to unleash more of Roman on her second album, but we aren't quite sure if her latest rant as Roman is referring to the album or another side project that Roman can dominate.
[photogallerylink id=75776 align=left]In two weeks, the one year anniversary of her debut album, Pink Friday, Nicki announced in her "State of the Union" address that Roman "will be in rare form this time." It continued "he has 2 more weeks in boarding school. we're going to pick him up now. when he lands, he will address the nation in the form of music. he will also announce the date. *salutes the nation* love u always," she concluded.
From the looks of the "State of the Union" address, it's becoming clear that Roman has already infiltrated the sweet mind of her Minajesty. The countdown has begun, will Nicki unveil a new single, an album release date, a mix tape? I am so curious!
Well actually it's nothing. Nicki Minaj took to twitter to shoot down the rumors of new Roman music.
Stay close, as soon as the news drops, we'll clue you in. We hope there is still new music on the way. Until then…

This is a day we have all been waiting for. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Adele[/lastfm] has undergone laser throat surgery. In the last few weeks, Adele has had to make the tough decision to cancel all of her shows and appearances for the remainder of the year.
[photogallerylink id=104427 align=left]This news came in response to the singer's battle with throat issues that manifested as laryngitis and eventually leading to a vocal hemorrhage that threatened Adele's future as a singer, "Singing is literally my life … I have great confidence in believing you know how much this upsets me, how seriously I take it. Wanting to do something so bad and not being able to is the most frustrating thing as I'm sure you know," she wrote in a message to her fans on her website blog "My voice is weak and I need to build it back up. I'm gonna be starting up vocal rehab [soon] and start building my overall stamina in my voice, body and mind."
Her hiatus were under doctor's orders but that obviously didn't take the sting out her not being able to perform, "It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011," read a statement on her website last month. "She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat, and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments."
Luckily, Adele was able to consult with one of the best vocal specialists in the entire world, Dr. Steven Zeitels, who serves as the Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center, which happens to be one of the best hospitals in the United States 10 years running. He's been a pioneer in vocal surgery techniques and has assured fans and family alike that Adele's prognosis looks good.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the surgery uses special lasers to stop the vocal cord bleeding and has successfully been performed on other singers in the past, including Aerosmith's [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Steven Tyler[/lastfm] in 2006, who made a full recovery.
This recovery time for this type of procedure is about a month or two, so if all goes without a hitch, expect to see your songbird fluttering her vocal chords to audiences all around the world sometime next year. I know that I can't wait.
Get well soon!

The Art of Intuition: Interview with Sophy Burnham, Part Two
Here is the second part of the magical interview with, Sophy Burnham author of, The Art of Intuition.
Check out the review of, The Art of Intuition!
Shaheen: We are receiving conflicting messages. We are being told to be independent, self-reliant, and separated. Yet we want comfort from all the things happening in the world. Some people think they are being brave by disconnecting, but really they are cutting off source. But people are beginning to ask questions. They are wanting more. Spirituality is rising.
Sophy: I want to say one more thing about the fear, Shaheen. I think that fear is a part of the human condition, anxiety is a part of us and the way to conquer it, if I can use that term, is to not resist it, but to go very deeply into it. What does it feel like in my body? Go physically into the fear. And try to feel it more and more deeply. And the more you do that, the more it disappears.
That's another aspect of how we are not taught to trust the language of our hearts. Here comes fear, it is a gift that is being given to us. What is it about? Can I look at this gift, or do I want to run away? Or do I want to get out my Glock pistol and shoot the fear dead. But if we can just face it, it vanishes. And it will tell us something very important if we allow it to. And that's a little piece of what intuition does. Intuition tells us things that are really important.
Shaheen: So where do you feel like that comes from? How do you know what is a creative hit, what is imagination, what is intuition? Are they the same thing? Are they different things?
Sophy: Well, first let's make some definitions. Creativity is the basic nature of the healthy person. And there are many, many forms of creativity. You could be building a garden or playing the piano or drawing a picture or writing a book or doing a flower arrangement or raising your children or cooking a wonderful meal. All of those things are aspects of creativity. And they come out of the central life force. And when we're healthy, you cannot help but be creative. Now when you're recovering from surgery, when you're in chronic pain, number ten pain, you cannot be creative, because you don't have the resources. And this is why I add this caveat of health. But even there someone like Proust, who was very, very ill most of his life, was intensively creative.
So now going to the other two things, imagination and intuition. I think they're slightly different, and I'd be interested in what you think. I can go into daydreams and in my imagination I can have the most wonderful life. I can make things happen. I can have lovers adore me who actually in real life don't. And I can have tons of money and spend it the way I want in my imagination. But it's not the same as having an intuitive gut feeling, a hunch, the hair rising on my arm with information that is coming to me not through the senses necessarily, but through some mysterious heart. I keep going back to the idea that we know this with our spiritual eye or we know it with our emotional eye. We don't know it with our logical and analytical mind. And so you see someone enter the door and you think, boy, I don't want anything to do with him. This is not your imagination. This is information that has come to you.
And creativity uses both intuition and imagination. They're wonderful gifts and all three of these qualities that you name, all three are enhanced and increased by meditation, by just sitting quietly and breathing. And allow a thought to rise up in your mind and fall away. If we first, before meditating, send out a request, ask for the solution to a problem, we will get it in the meditation. Just as if you ask for the solution, go to sleep on a problem, you say, and in the morning you'll know the solution, because the subconscious mind knows everything. And it will present it to us. And many, many of the things that I write I find the solutions in…to the creative process, if I'm blocked, I find it more in meditation than by sleeping on it. Give it to the subconscious mind. Turn it over and walk away and let the divine center of my being bring it up out of the deep depths of this ocean of information. And it will present itself to me.
Shaheen: I'm fascinated by the concept of creativity being something that you do as a healthy human. It seems like intuition and imagination are the channels that bring creativity to life.
Sophy: I am so struck by the quotations in my chapter on creativity in The Art of Institution that I'm sure of even what page they're on, but Mozart being quoted and Tchaikovsky and yes, it's on page 59 of the hardcover of the book. And Tchaikovsky and then the playwright, Neil Simon, "I dip into a state, I don't write consciously. It's as if the muse sits on my shoulder." And we all have this idea of being guided by something greater than ourselves. How did I ever write that? Or you look back at something that you wrote 20 years ago and you think, my God, I don't even know that now, this is just amazing.
I loved what Mozart said about how, if he can't sleep, or if he's traveling in a carriage, his ideas start to flow abundantly. Where they come from, he has no idea and he can't force them. "Nor do I hear in my imagination a part successively, but I hear them as it were all at once. What a delight this is I cannot tell." I have often found that, for me, creativity is enhanced if I am rocking in a train or on an airplane and if I can give myself a pad of paper at that time I can write brilliantly, there's something about the rocking motion that is very encouraging to the creativity. Anyway it's something we all want. And when the muse goes away, it's terrible. And sometimes, the muse goes away and then you're left on your own.
Shaheen: That leads me to my next question, is there ever a time when you think that people should tap out of their creative channels or their imaginative channel or their intuition? Is there every a time when you almost should disconnect from that? And I know that there are experiences as someone who is very intuitive, who is very psychic, there are psychic experiences that people have, whether it be seeing things or picking up on too much.
Sophy: I don't know about should. I can really only speak for myself and I find that I go through long periods sometimes of lying fallow in which nothing is engaging me. I do not want to be creative. I may at that time go and do other things. Things that I can't do when I throw myself into writing a book and when I'm writing a book I don't see my friends, you know, I'm completely absorbed in this creative project and not a good friend at all. And then there will come a period where I finish it and it's like I'm woken up and I don't want to be writing right then. I can't just continue it that way, like Dumas, who, when he had finished writing The Three Musketeers, he drew a line midway across the page and he wrote The Count of Monte Cristo and continued writing on a new book. I can't do that. I can't do that. Now, he did have a whole host of researchers working for him and plotting and laying out the book so he knew what he was going to say next and he was writing on deadline and for money, and needed the money desperately for his addictive elements. So what I have discovered is in these periods when I'm lying fallow, I never know if I am lying fallow or if I will never write again. My kids…my kids tease me that I always say this, "Oh, I'm never going to write again." "Oh, we're heard that before, they say." And in another few months, or in a year, there I am doing something again. But it always feels as if you never will.
You need to unplug. You need to go live. And get out of the state of readings and intuitives, of right-brained hemisphere; it's too great…it's too much for you. And then I start doing chess puzzles or writing or doing crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble and doing things that feed the left hemisphere, the logical, analytical part, because I've just gone too far along the other side.
And I think that's helpful, I think that's good. We're supposed to use all of our gifts.
Shaheen: I think that's a great point though, because some people go to one extreme or the other.
Sophy: And it's all about balance, it's all about balance. If you're too intuitive, you're going to start imagining things. And then…
Shaheen: That's interesting. That's a really great way to understand the difference between intuition and imagination.
Sophy: And yet, on the other hand, I'm not knocking intuition at all. Whether it comes with the external voice or whether it comes with the hair rising on your arm or your gut roiling or your heart beating faster, this is information that is being given to you. And it's very meaningful; you have to pay attention to it. I know some people who are so unintuitive that they have to practice being intuitive. They are so smart; they are such Mensa scholar, scientific, mathematical types that they have almost no intuition. And they're very hard to be around because they're not sensing anything. They can come into a room and not have any idea the energy field. They'll go out of a party and not have any idea that the host and hostess are having a quarrel at that moment and splitting up and you think, how could you not have picked up this information energetically. But they're so closed, or narcissistic, that they can't get it.
But it's all balance. Because the other person who is so intuitive has trouble, the trouble with that is they can't separate their feelings from the feelings that they're picking up from other people. And therefore the boundaries become so merged and permeable that they don't know what is there's and what belongs to someone else. And they're constantly being depressed or elated or dismayed or fearful without knowing that they're just picking it up from people around them.
Shaheen: Yeah, that is really a good point; I think that speaks to the idea of fear.
Sophy: It really comes back to that fear doesn't it. I was talking about how we pick the fear from the television or the newspapers or whatever. But it's all around us and if you're intuitive, you're picking it up from them. And enhancing it, because if you pick it up and they are picking it up, you've just exponentially increased the fear level in that room by not being able to say, oh, this is their fear, well, I can counter balance it with my trust, with my calmer energy. It's all about energy, isn't it, Shaheen?
Shaheen: It is, it truly is about energy.

The Art of Intuition: Interview with Sophy Burnham, Part One
Last year I happened upon a book that really struck a chord with me. I reached out to the author wanting to know more! Luckily she agreed! So I had the pleasure of speaking to author, Sophy Burnham about her book, The Art of Intuition. What a fascinating interview it was! Sophy is such a delightful and generous person and I believe we can all benefit from her timely information.
This is part one of the interview. I hope you enjoy her wisdom and candor. Check out the review of, The Art of Intuition!
The Interview:
Okay. I'm ready for you.
Perfect. So when I read your book, I thought it was such an amazing piece. I found, The Art of Intuition by accident. I was in the library and I was actually working on another writing project. One of the striking was that you approached it in a way that had a lot of scientific studies that explained and supported intuition but you weren't trying to convince anyone that that was all that intuition is. And I thought that was so brilliant.
Actually, we don't have any idea what it is.
Exactly. But some people want to explain it in a scientific sense and let it be purely that. And other people think of it in this very mystical, magical sort of way. I thought you took the middle ground and you gave bits and pieces to both groups. The other thing that resonated with me is the idea of intuition and creativity are connected to each other.
Oh, because they're intimately linked, yeah.
I want to begin with, why do you feel that people have forgotten how to tap into their intuitive selves?
You mentioned this in your first question to me. Is it more a matter of remembering was the way you put it. And in my experience, it's not always remembering because a lot of the time I get information I didn't know about at all. So I couldn't possibly be remembering something. It's a totally new moment, as it were.
Now, I did have an experience the other day that was just remembering. But I had it so precisely that I think, there it is, there's my higher teacher, my guide, giving me information. And it was very simple. I've had some surgery and when I came back from the hospital, I was very, very, very ill. And I didn't know what to do. I didn't know if vomiting was just part of what happens at this phase and I couldn't reach anybody and I didn't want go rushing back to the hospital. And I remembered that about nine months earlier, I had gotten in the mail a little card which gave me the name of a nurse…practicing nurse on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, call this number. I remembered that out of the blue when I had just sent up this little prayer, what do I do. And then, even more remarkable, I went in my office and I put my hands on it immediately. Which is not the way my filing system works. And she was fantastic. I got this woman in Ohio who listened to my symptoms and said get an ambulance and get to an emergency room immediately. And eventually that's exactly what I did do.
Now, that was a remembering in a way, but it came with such suddenness on the part after having sent up this little heart message, help, what do I do. Maybe the intuition was merely remembering. For me, it has the sense of an angel, or my higher self, or that spark of the divine that we all have, coming to the fore and saying, get that piece of paper, call that person.
I have learned that there are symbolic things sort of looming and floating and presenting themselves to us in everyday life and we have to learn to see that string, that thread, that kind of pulls them all together.
Absolutely. And then you can enhance this ability. Meditation is the most obvious. Turn off the television, turn off the iPad, stop playing with your Smart Phone and go take a walk in the woods and you will know things that you will never get on the internet. And you'll know how to solve your problems. But we have to be alone to do it. You have to take the dare of being in solitude at least for a little while and be comfortable with yourself.
I'm a big believer in the divine nature of human beings and I have to say, Shaheen, that after this latest Colorado massacre, it shakes me to the core. But I know that we have within us the spark of the divine. And that we have all of the God-given abilities to know everything and to be able to solve the problems if we can just trust ourselves enough to do it. Now it might take a little while to get there, and some people are better at it than others. Not everyone is a medium. Not everyone is able to give someone a reading. But I have certainly trained many people to do it, or trained is the wrong word. Opened them up to discover, one, I can do this, look at that. How did I know all of this about this total stranger? Because it's part of our innate nature to know this information.
That's a powerful thing to be aware of. In an interview you said people are more afraid now than they have been in the past twenty years. Do you feel this is because people are not connected to their intuition? Or for instance, this massacre, do you think people are serving a higher purpose?
You know, it's such an interesting question. It's a really important question. I don't know if people are more afraid now than they ever were. I know that we are blasted with information. We are a very dysfunctional society at the moment, in part because everything is slamming us with terrifying information. If you read the newspapers, if you turn on the radio, if you turn on the television, it's all bad news and it's all being delivered at high scream velocity. And everything has the same quality as everything else, so they'll say, there are more car crashes than ever before because more people are driving cars. This is a terrible thing and we have to… The next moment they're saying, just in the same breathless way, the next horrible thing you have to be afraid of.
Everything has high-pitched terror in it and it is a deliberate function of the media to make the reader or that listener uncomfortable enough so that they want something of comfort. And they will rush to buy something or eat something or make a phone call or pay some money to this particular non-profit. Everything is about grabbing our attention and the way they do it is through fear. And then I think, you know what? People were afraid from the beginning of time. You have only to look at the Bible to realize how frightened people were in 3000 B.C. There would not be the need for the Twenty-third Psalm if people were not frightened.
So maybe we just recognize somehow when we come down into this plane of existence, on this pretty little, and very strange, planet, we've lost our connection to the divine and we're aware of being alone and frightened. Maybe that's part of the human condition unless you connect with your own inner heart, or with God, or with the divine in whatever way you reach it. This is why I say a walk in the woods is so good for you. There you are in God's world instead of the human, man-made world. And you unhook for a few moments and you realize, you know what? Everything's okay. And things work out for the okay. They don't always work out the way I want, but they often work out better than I had imagined. And when I examine my life and I listen to the stories that other people are telling me, I can see in hindsight, always, how I'm being helped at every stage of the game.
In front of me everything is black. I am walking blindfolded and barefoot down a dirt road and I can only see my way by feeling the stones and dirt under my bare feet. So when I go off onto the gravel on the shoulder of the road, if I'm sensitive I move off the side way and get back into the center. If I'm not sensitive, I wander into the briars on the far shoulder and then I need a spiritual cattle prod to force me back into the road and I probably lunge too far over and throw myself into the briars on the far left-hand side, until I learn that I am being guided by silken reins and I don't need the cattle prod anymore.

Our True Nature (The Seeds We Sew)
Your spirit is a precious, burnings star that fell from heaven. As you fell down the tunnel to wonderland, a gauzy veil spun around your soul, covering the light of your divine nature, keeping it hidden from the eyes of the world. It is your mission on this journey to lift the veil so that your light and beauty can be seen.
Your spirit emanates light, like a strange jewel from which you draw your talents, abilities and purpose. As the veil grows thicker it becomes a darkness that numbs and silences your divinity, cutting you off from your potential. But the truth remains that you are a divine architect. You are a partner to the Universe, and it is in your true nature to express and create through love and compassion.
The key to divine expression is intention. Intention weaves and changes the fabric of everything in its path. Intention is the mother of manifestation; so she bears from her fertile womb every seed placed within. When you befriend intention then you can essentially birth what you desire, this is the art of manifestation.
Your thoughts, actions and ideas are the energy that feed the Universe, literally creating everything you see around you right now. It can be difficult to see beyond the dark, thick, sluggish veil covering your potential. It distorts whatever you are sending out. Because of these distortions your intentions are altered allowing the unfavorable to grow like thorny brambles in your life.
The Universe is fertile and rich with the nutrients necessary to grow whatever seeds/intentions you wish to plant. The Universe cannot discern what you plant here because her one and only purpose is to birth the seeds that you have sewn, and manifest the garden of your desires. Now you know that your garden is the accumulations of all the thoughts, ideas, fears and dreams that you have planted.
If you aren't careful in tending and pruning your garden, pests begin growing, sneaky little things that creep into the calm fields of lavender and lilies. These thorny, little weeds represent of your lack of attention to what is going on around you. Not all things within your garden are in your control; some things just appear like negative relationships you just need to break free from. You cannot change everything, but you can changer your reaction. Isn't a weed just a flower that someone doesn't like?
The veil that you see life through is actually the ego, and the ego sees everything as limiting. Your garden, then, has limited beauty. It becomes infested with stickers and brambles that bite your fingertips when you eventually try to pull them. Though there are times when a little seed of light sprout among the weeds, but their life is quickly choked out by fear and insecurity. As the ego believes, there's never enough. Not for me, not for you.
Our souls are sparkling, bright-eyed children and the veil makes the world dark and gray, which evokes insecurity and fear because "bad things live in the darkness". Through embracing the powers of your divine nature you pull away this veil and are able to be in the present moment. One energy cannot vibrate amongst the other, easily. The ideals of the ego such as anger, depression, sadness, hatred, etc, sustain the limited belief of separation, which in turn breeds more fear.
It could be said that there are no mirrors in heaven, so we come to earth to see the true nature of our spirit. We come here to find our selves within our own light, being nudged by the people, places and experiences we have. The truth is that the veil is never fully lost as long as you are incarnated. It is the anchor of your soul.
In this amazing, incarnate experience, you have to live on the edge of two worlds, like faeries on the edge of dreamland. You have to walk the middle ground between the material and the spiritual; a balancing act between light and dark. If you tread the middle ground you learn to be in the present moment.
Through learning to be in balance with ego and spirit you can begin manifesting consciously. On your spiritual journey you are never seeking to lose your identity or shadow, only to embrace it, understand it, truly befriend it. It is the great yin and yang. This is the foundation of enlightenment.
Fear not the experiences you have in life, embrace them with open arms. Let your experiences open your mind and heart and help you to expand. If you want to change your life, you must change your thoughts. There is a micro world inside of you, and it reflects into the world around you. Remember your garden is yours alone… tend it, care for it, look after it and you will have a beautiful work of art.
Also know that we are all interconnected. You may wish to exclude others from your life, but again this is a balancing act. You have one plot on the face of a whole, so essentially your ground is the ground of another. The interaction between you and the people in your life is just as essential, if not more essential, than all the experiences you've had.
As you tend your garden, be mindful of the gardens around you. You don't want to throw your dirty work into someone else's masterpiece. We must help each other maintain this beauty. Hopefully a sense of comradery forms, creating peace, which shines out into the world. Maybe one day we will all cast of our veils and melt into one bright and vibrant sun.

La Porte City (Iowa) Union athlete Trev Hadachek started his recruitment early with a scholarship offer before his junior season. The class of 2013 prospect will start early on making college game day visits this fall as well, with a trip slated to an in-state program this weekend.
"I'm going to Iowa State versus UNI this weekend up at Iowa State," Hadachek said. "I got invited to that, so me, my dad and my brother are going up for the game. My dad and their receivers coach were friends. I've been keeping in touch with the defensive backs coach. At their camp he talked to me a lot."
Hadachek has been in touch with Iowa State since his camp appearance in Ames earlier this summer. He is also hearing from other in-state programs Iowa and Northern Iowa and has followed each growing up.
Article Continues Below
"I've always liked all of them," Hadachek said. "My family has season tickets to UNI. My mom graduated from UNI and so did my dad. My favorite team growing up was always Notre Dame."
Hadachek has also been receiving interest from programs like Arkansas and Minnesota. He picked up his first scholarship offer from Eastern Illinois.
This weekend's visit to Iowa State will be the first of several for Hadacheck. He is looking at college schedules and seeing what games he will be able to make it to this fall.
"Because Eastern Illinois offered me a scholarship, I am trying to get up there sometime, but I'm not sure if I can with ACT's," Hadachek said. "I'm going to an Iowa game with a friend and I'm looking at Minnesota for a game too."
The 5-11, 170-pound Hadachek is playing quarterback and safety for Union High this fall. In his team's opener this past weekend, Hadachek accounted for 100 yards of total offense and threw for a touchdown in a 20-17 win. He also tallied four tackles, including one for loss, from his safety position.
Hadachek also has returns punts for his high school team and could fill that role in college. Whether he lands on offense or defense at the next level, though, is yet to be determined.
"I prefer to play on the offensive side of the ball, but it's wherever I get the opportunity to play," Hadachek said. "It's looking like wide receiver or defensive back."

Tonight's attendance: 8,208. That's an Ed Smith Stadium record for baseball.
Mark Hendrickson only gave the Orioles two-thirds of an inning, and it included David Winfree's three-run homer.
Yankees 8, Orioles 4.
Pitching coach Rick Kranitz instructed Jeremy Guthrie to "ramp it up" tonight in preparation for the regular season. That might explain Guthrie's wildness.
It's a theory.
"I wasn't able to get in a zone like I needed to get in a zone, and the result was a lot of walks, hit by pitches, just balls going all over the place essentially," Guthrie said.
"I put a little more effort into this outing. Kranny asked me if I'd ramp it up a little and make sure I was ready for my first start of the season. I don't know if that's the reason for the lack of control, but the ball was going all over the place for me."
Here's the encouraging part: Guthrie says the ball had good movement again tonight, something that rarely happened last season.
"For me, if the ball's moving, I feel very good about it," Guthrie said. "If I can get that location in the zone more consistently, I feel like the result will be quicker outs for me. But to see that ball move the last two outings for me is big. I felt like last year I had one or two starts when the ball moved, and when it doesn't move, you feel like you've got to be perfect with your location. When it's moving, you've got a little more leeway, so I feel really, really good where I am right now."
Guthrie seems unconcerned that he hasn't been stretched past five innings. As he noted tonight, if he's at 85 pitches after six innings in Tampa, he'll come back out for the seventh.
The walks hurt Guthrie, but the fastball to Robinson Cano is the one pitch he wants back.
The ball that hit Mark Teixeira was a two-seamer that "had cutting action."
"These guys are aggressive. They go out there and attack," Guthrie said. "When it happens like that, sometimes it's harder to get out of the way. It's more difficult to get out of the way when you're ready to swing and attack like that."
Update: Marcus Thames led off the seventh with a home run off Matt Albers. Yankees 9, Orioles 4.
The bullpen guys need to step up. And fast. Wasn't this area supposed to be a strength?

There are still two weeks until Oregon begins spring practice, but that won't keep us from looking ahead and making predictions about what we'll see in the spring game.
Prediction No. 1: Marcus Mariota, Byron Marshall and Thomas Tyner will carry the ball 35 times in the spring game.
Why: Last season, the Ducks were the second-most prolific offense in the nation, falling just behind a potent Baylor attack. Oregon accounted for 565 yards of offense per game and 7.55 yards per play (also second best, this time to Florida State).
Mariota led a balanced offense, with about half of that production coming from the running game (273.5 yards per game, 6.3 yards per rush). The Ducks tallied 42 rushing touchdowns and scored a rushing touchdown, on average, once every 13 carries.
Though the Ducks lost De'Anthony Thomas, they still return their top three rushers --- Marshall, Mariota and Tyner. Marshall led the Ducks with 14 rushing touchdowns and 86.5 rushing yards per game and Mariota and Tyner accounted for nine rushing touchdowns each, creating a three-headed monster that found holes in nearly every defense.
A season later, these three should be even better as they've matured in the game, know the playbook better, and have another cycle of offseason conditioning and strength training.
The rushing attack will need to be more prolific this season, at least early on. The Ducks lost their No. 1 and No. 3 receivers, so other offensive players are going to need to make up for that lost production. It doesn't necessarily need to come from other receivers (though, per prediction No. 4, the tight ends will step up), and with how much experience Oregon returns in the run game, it seems like Oregon might attack with the rushing game early and often to get the offense moving. In situations such as the Sept. 6 game against Michigan State, don't be surprised if the Ducks favor the run over the pass. And don't be surprised if you start to see the pieces of that puzzle forming in the spring game.
In the May 3 scrimmage, with these three on the field (and a defensive line that will still be making major shifts and adjustments), they'll be able to run wild. Mariota will look to get the ball down the field, but don't be surprised if these three account for 35 carries in the spring game -- an increase of four carries from the trio's average of 31 per game last season.
Other spring game predictions:
No. 5: The D-line won't be as far along as people would like
No. 4: The tight ends will be more involved in the pass game
No. 3: Cameron Hunt will make the most noticeable strides on the O-line
No. 2: The offense will look great ... the defense certainly won't

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Du Jour's Restaurant Review: Du Jour's is life giving. Just ask any of the many people who wait in line on the weekends at either the Downtown or Golden Valley location. Their day can't possibly start without the life-force feeding food inside these bright and sunny restaurants. Du Jour's have set themselves apart from other breakfast joints by the sheer fact that they understand the fragility of someone who hasn't has their coffee. Water is brought to the table in an ice-cold carafe, and left there. Coffee comes quickly in a large carafe, and is left for you to nurse at your leisure. The menu offers something for the bacon lovers and something for the eqq-white aficionados. They love you all. Try a skillet meal like the Wanderer with bacon, tomatoes, onions and potatoes lovingly smothered under two eggs. Or go for the blueberry oatmeal pancakes that fall over the edge of the plate. Whatever you do, try to go early and bring a paper, because you will have to wait.

Perhaps that's what we'll see alongside Captain America 2 in the mid/late 2014, with CA2 occupying the spring. Definitely seems plausible to me.

They're very happy with it, so hopefully it happens.

FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. - Fruitland Park city officials are learning of a Lake County Sheriff's Office investigation on Monday into a sexual battery claim against its city manager.
Deputies confirmed on Friday that it is investigating whether a sexual battery was committed City Manager Ralph Bowers, who has been temporarily suspended with pay pending a criminal investigation.
City clerk Diane Gibson Smith said the council voted on Thursday night to suspend Bowers after a city employee went to the police chief on Wednesday accusing Bowers of misconduct.
The chief then called into the Lake County Sheriff's office, which will determine if the battery has been committed.
"I think a lot of people are just shocked by this," Smith said.
Bowers, who has been the manager since 2006, was asked to leave City Hall Thursday morning when he showed up to work.
Local 6 went to Bowers' house on Monday but no one was home.

Bourgeois has chance to make impression
Bourgeois has chance to make impression
PITTSBURGH -- With center fielder Michael Bourn sidelined with a strained oblique muscle, Jason Bourgeois has an opportunity to show what he can do. Bourgeois started his fifth consecutive game in center field Friday.
After going 0-for-5 on Monday in Washington, Bourgeois had five hits in his next 12 at-bats heading into Friday's game, during which he singled and scored in his first at-bat.
"I want to leave that lasting impression and leave it all out there on the field," Bourgeois said. "I'm trying to take advantage of the last few days."
Bourgeois, a native Houstonian, is a free agent at the end of the season.
"I would love to come back here," he said. "It's the No. 1 place I went to be. The role I would be in would be a fourth outfielder coming off the bench, and I'd rather do it here at home. I haven't talked to them yet, but we'll see when the season ends. I'm playing right now and am focusing on that and will deal with the rest later."

Kocer hits 1,000 to help Cougars to first victory
The University of Minnesota, Morris women's basketball team snapped a four-game losing streak, while picking up win No. 1, when the Cougars defeated Mayville State Saturday in Mayville, N.D. The winning was short lived however, as the Cougars fell to Valley City, N.D. on Monday night.
UM-Morris 70
Mayville 63
Senior Tynell Kocer scored 13 points for her second-straight game, giving her exactly 1,000 points in her Cougar career, to help UMM to a 70-63 win over Mayville State.
The Cougars jumped out to a 32-27 lead at the break connecting on 50 percent (13-26) in the first 20 minutes.
The Comets kept the game close, but UMM shot 52 percent (13-25) in the second half to keep on top.
The Cougars had three players in double figures, led by a 20-point effort from senior Coressa Leighty, who was 6-for-6 at the free-throw line.
Jenni Noordmans had 11 points.
Also scoring were Kaila Lindsey and Joy Heysse with six apiece, Steph Roggenbuck with five, Nikki Washek with four, Kara Norris with three, and Diane Blommel with two.
Roggenbuck led the Cougars with eight rebounds, while Norris grabbed seven.
Senior Jamie Rainey dished out nine assists and grabbed three steals.
Kocer becomes the 18th player in UMM women's basketball history to reach the 1,000-point mark. She leads the Cougars in scoring through five games with 84 points, averaging 16.8 points per game.
At that pace, she will have a chance to finish in the top five in all-time scoring at UMM.
Cindy Lonneman is the all-time scoring leader for women's basketball at UMM with 1,949 points from 1979-83.
Valley City 85
UM-Morris 72
Despite three Cougars scoring in double figures Monday night at the W.E. Osmon Fieldhouse in Valley City, UMM was defeated 85-72.
The Cougars were shooting at 50 percent (16-32) in the first half, but dropped down to 34.6 percent after the break.
Valley City maintained an average over 42 percent throughout the game.
Roggenbuck and Kocer each contributed 17 points. Roggenbuck also had six rebounds.
Noordmans added 16 points.
Leighty had nine points to go along with six rebounds.
Also scoring for the Cougars were Heysse and Washek with four apiece, Rainey with three, and Blommel with two.

Insecta or Hexapoda any member of the largest class of the phylum Arthropoda, which is itself the largest of the animal phyla. Insects have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and external skeletons (exoskeletons). Insects are distinguished from other arthropods by their body, which is divided into three major regions: (1) the head, which bears the mouthparts, eyes, and a pair of antennae, (2) the three-segmented thorax, which usually has three pairs of legs (hence "Hexapoda") in adults and usually one or two pairs of wings, and (3) the many-segmented abdomen, which contains the digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs. In a popular sense, "insect" usually refers to familiar pests or disease carriers, such as bedbugs, houseflies, clothes moths, Japanese beetles, aphids, mosquitoes, fleas, horseflies, and hornets, or to conspicuous groups, such as butterflies, moths, and beetles. Many insects, however, are beneficial from a human viewpoint; they pollinate plants, produce useful...

Queen's contract gives £32m boost to building sector
The construction industry is set for a boost today when Queen's University reveals the main contractor for a new £32m centre for experimental medicine.
Newry firm O'Hare & McGovern's big contract win will see around 400 people building the centre on the university's health sciences campus on Jubilee Road, Belfast.
The centre, which is funded by grants and donations, is set to employ 330 people – including 110 new staff – when it's scheduled to finish in two years' time.
Eamon O'Hare, managing director of O'Hare & McGovern, said: "The construction industry is currently a very difficult sector to be operating in.
"We are delighted to have been awarded this contract to continue our longstanding relationship with Queen's.
"The new centre will offer world-class facilities for the university with exceptional design, construction and engineering.
"This announcement will help to secure jobs and offers an impetus to the local construction industry."
The Newry company also built Queen's McClay library, which opened in 2010.
John Armstrong, managing director of industry body the Construction Employers Federation (CEF), said: "With construction output in Northern Ireland now at its lowest point since the turn of the century, this £32m investment is a welcome boost to the local industry.
"Queen's University is a highly regarded construction client and it provides a great example for how public sector funding can be used to lever in additional private funding.
"Pound for pound the social and economic benefit to be gained from this sort of investment is hard to rival."
Staff at the centre will research cures for eye disease and diabetes, as well as aiming to improve their understanding of other complex chronic diseases.
The four-storey building will be close to the existing centre for cancer research and cell biology.
Gary Jebb, Queen's director of estates, said: "In the last year, the university has invested over £35m in building projects, creating over 700 construction-related jobs in the local economy, and we are proud that today's announcement reinforces Queen's continuing commitment to supporting the Northern Ireland economy and especially the local construction sector."
