For healing some problems, this is the method of choice. With regressions, you do have to come in person, unlike my other sessions. But I have had clients who found it worthwhile to come to this part of Virginia for multiple blocks of four sessions (and sometimes come from a great distance, too) just because of the results they achieved .
This is the most interactive form of healing that I offer. Loads of information about this is one click away: //www.rose-rosetree.com/RegressionTherapy.htm
Here is the quick version. Your subconscious mind holds the answer to many lifelong problems. In your Regression Therapy session, I can guide you into an altered state, then work directly with your subconscious wisdom to help you change and heal from the inside out. Here are some of the problems where this healing method can prove uniquely effective. · Weight Loss· Stop Smoking· Success: Stop Self-Sabotage and Procrastination · More Money: Remove Blockages to Financial Prosperity· Recovery from Sexual Abuse and Rape· Healing Sexual Problems· Recovery from Addiction· Eating Disorders and Dysmorphic Personality Disorder: Release and Reprogram· Perfectionism and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Changing Old Patterns· Depression, Mood Swings or Bipolar Disorder: Healing the cause· "I Haven't Been the Same Since…"· Solve Troubling Patterns· Anxiety Reduction· Better Grades: Learning to Live without Learning Problems· Build Authentic Self-Confidence, High Self-Esteem· Free up Your Psychic Abilities: Remove Blocks to Experience· Healing Dysfunctional Patterns from Childhood· Exiting Cults: How to Keep the Good, Release the Rest· Accelerated Learning of a Foreign Language· Regressions for Fun

In 2006, I became certified in the method of Regression Therapy pioneered by Dr. Coletta Long which emphasizes the permanent removal of frozen blocks held in cellular memory. For this work, I am a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and the International Association for Regression Research & Therapies. Although I had been facilitating regressions since 1986, the big shift in my work came when I had the privilege of studying with Coletta, whom I consider the foremost practitioner in the U.S. today. She isn't the most famous because others like Dr. Brian Weiss have spent more of their time popularizing the profession, working with public presentations and books. Coletta simply has worked with a huge number of clients (for more than 60 years), occasionally taking time to train professionals in her method. Click here to learn more about the extraordinary method she has developed: //www.rose-rosetree.com/RegressionTherapy.htm#consumer Regression Therapy isn't for everyone. Believing in past lives isn't necessary. But you will have to work pretty actively for this kind of releasing, and the underlying emotion isn't always going to be joy, the way it is for the other types of session that I facilitate. Still, this is a very powerful way to heal, and I have successfully helped clients who had tried many other modalities but hadn't been helped significantly by psychotherapy, electric shock therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Reiki, etc.
As with any choice to have any type of session with any practitioner, use your inner wisdom. You can trust it.
Of course, if you have a question about Regression Therapy not answered by all the links given here, post a comment at any post on the blog and I'll answer it there!

Sunday is arguably the biggest day of auto racing of the year, with the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco, the IZOD IndyCar Series Indianapolis 500 and the Sprint Cup Series 600-mile race at Charlotte filling the day.
Winning any of these three races will check an item off a driver's to-do list, but what are the keys to getting to victory lane?
Grand Prix of Monaco –- Qualify Up Front
The Grand Prix of Monaco is like no other Formula One event. Held on the twisty streets of Monte Carlo, overtaking is exceedingly difficult, meaning pole position is crucial. The winner has come from pole in eight of the last nine Monaco Grand Prix.
Mercedes has flashed its qualifying pace this year, but has struggled to keep speed during longer runs. Monaco's emphasis on downforce rather than speed, however, should make Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg appealing choices.
But the safer bet may be Red Bull, which has had an immense edge at Monte Carlo, leading 91.9 percent of laps in the last three trips. This year, Red Bull will look to join BRM (1963-1966) and McLaren (1988-1993) as the only constructors to win at least four straight at Monaco.
Mark Webber has struggled this season, but he should not be overlooked, having won two of the last three here. He and Fernando Alonso are the only two active drivers with multiple Monaco wins.
Webber's teammate, Sebastian Vettel, has continued his torrid pace. His 230 points since Singapore last season are 59 more than any other driver. In that span, he's won six of 12 Grand Prix.
Indianapolis 500 – Running Second the Best Bet?
If recent history holds true, the 2013 Indianapolis 500 should be a thriller. Since 1995, 10 races had the final lead change within the final 10 laps.
By comparison, in the first 78 Indy 500s (1911-94), there were just nine races in which the final lead change was in the final ten laps.
Closest Indy 500 Finishes- Since 1995
The best place to be late has proved to be second place, instead of the lead. In 2006, Sam Hornish Jr. trailed Marco Andretti heading down the frontstretch on the final lap,but he slingshot his way around Andretti to score the victory.
Five years later, Dan Wheldon was beneficiary of race leader JR Hildebrand's Turn 4 crash. Wheldon navigated around Hildebrand and registered his second 500 victory. Those were the only time a driver won the Indy 500 with a last-lap pass.
Expect to see the lead swapped many times. When the current chassis made its 500 debut last year, it set the event record for lead changes with 34. The previous record (29) had stood since 1960.
NSCS at Charlotte – Survive the Day, Thrive at Night
Since 1960, the spring race at Charlotte has been 600 miles, making it the longest race on the Sprint Cup schedule, a test of endurance for driver and machinery.
The key to the 600 has been to stay in contention early, not peaking or using up equipment, and then hit the set-up for the stretch run.
Green-Flag Lap Avg Time Rank
Last Two Charlotte Race Winners
Last year, race winner Kasey Kahne had the fifth-fastest average green-flag lap time over the first quarter of the race. It was the fourth-fastest in the second quarter, second-fastest in the third, and the fastest in the final 100 laps.
Compare that to 2011, when Kevin Harvick won in a wild finish. Harvick was only the 20th-fastest in the first 100 laps, and still outside the top 10 in average lap time in the second and third quarters.
But in the final segment, Harvick's lap time improved to the fourth-fastest in the field, putting him position to take advantage of Dale Earnhardt Jr. running out of gas on the last lap.

Brave woman drags her sex attacker by hair to police station
A COURAGEOUS student dragged her sex attacker by the hair to a police station as a 50-strong-crowd looked on.
Pradnya Mandhare was at a crowded train station in the afternoon when a man grabbed her and tried to attack her.
The 20-year-old frantically fought off her attacker but was stunned that fellow commuters did not come to her aid.
Somehow the university undergraduate managed to conjure up strength and started to hit the would-be rapist with her handbag.
The brave beauty overpowered the drunk man, grabbed him by the hair and dragged him to a nearby police station.
"When I tried to avoid him, he grabbed me," the young woman said.
"I was shocked for a couple of seconds, but then I started hitting him with my bag.
"Kandivli station is always crowded and so many men and women saw him try to attack me, but no one came forward to help. People stopped to stare, but no one bothered to even ask what was going on."
Ms Mandhare decided to take matters into her own hands.
"He was trying to hit me, but I could overpower him because he was stinking of alcohol and I could make out that he was drunk," she added.
"Dragging him by the hair and walking was tough because he was trying to escape and I was afraid he would attack me"Victim Pradnya Mandhare
"Since the man was filthy, I found it difficult to even touch him. I caught him by his hair and dragged him to the Government Railway Police.
"Dragging him by the hair and walking was tough because he was trying to escape and I was afraid he would attack me.
"He kept telling me not to drag him along and that he would come with me on his own, but I did not let go. I finally managed to hand him over to the police."
The attack – which happened in broad daylight at Mumbai train station – is all too common in India where women and girls are routinely assaulted.
But Ms Mandhare did not want to be just another statistic.
"Most women are scared of approaching the police as filing a complaint is a lengthy process.
"But, I was firm on taking that man to the police. I am grateful that the police also helped me and arrested the accused.
"I also asked the police officers to teach the accused a lesson so that he would not dare to molest a woman ever again."

AAI supports these talented athletes and recognizes them as leaders in the gymnastics community.
Grace and beauty in the sport of gymnastics led Nastia Liukin to her crowning achievement of becoming the all-around champion at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, but winning five medals was only the beginning for this golden girl. After returning home, she graced the pages of countless magazines and appeared on various TV shows, while even being chosen as one of 2009's most influential people by MSN Lifestyle. Liukin's commitment to helping little girls with big dreams landed her a clothing line, SuperGirl by Nastia along with her very own gymnastics competition, The Nastia Liukin Cup as well as a at home gymnastics product line by AAI.
"AAI is the best manufacturer of products for aspiring gymnasts through Olympic champions. When I was presented with the opportunity to develop a line of fitness and training products for young gymnasts, I jumped at it," said Liukin. "I have always wanted to extend my dedication to working with young athletes beyond just clinics and camps. I hope parents recognize the tremendous health benefits for their children in working with my products and being a gymnast in general."
A 2014 inductee into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, Liukin remains involved in the sport as the lead gymnastics television analyst for NBC in addition to serving as an ambassador for USA Gymnastics and The United States Olympic Committee's Road to Rio. Most recently, she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars season 20 and is currently crisscrossing the country sharing her life experiences on The Shine Tour, a motivational event that encourages girls of all ages to have self-confidence and shine in their own lives. Liukin co-founded The Shine Agency, a sports and entertainment lifestyle firm in 2015, and is now completing her senior year at New York University.
Valeri Liukin, Nastia's coach, father and owner of WOGA, also endorses AAI equipment and lends his expertise to the partnership by evaluating new AAI products. "AAI has been such a mainstay in the sport of gymnastics. By combining that longevity with Nastia's position and our mutual ties to USA Gymnastics, it's a winning partnership," said Valeri Liukin. "Our goal is to help bring attention to the gymnastics community and increase participation in the sport."
"AAI provided the equipment that I grew up on," says Sam Mikulak. "Every child in the U.S. has built their dreams of competing on the grandest of stages, and AAI has provided us the opportunity to accomplish our goals safely and reliably. I look forward to my partnership with AAI, to represent the finest of equipment as I continue to chase my dreams in this sport." Mikulak, a seven-time NCAA champion in gymnastics won the all-around and several other titles in 2011, 2013 and the 2014 NCAA Men's Gymnastics championship. His strong credentials also earned him a spot on the U.S. men's gymnastics team that competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He was the first male gymnast from the University of Michigan to be named to the U.S. Olympic team.
Mikulak represented the U.S. against a strong international field at the 2015 AT&T American Cup, a FIG World Cup event, earning fourth in the individual all-around competition. He also participated in the 2014 P&G U.S. Championships in Pittsburgh and placed first overall in the all-around final and pommel horse and second in high bar. He participated in October 2014 in Nanning, China, representing Team USA in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. He won a bronze medal with Team USA in the team competition. He was named undergraduate assistant coach for the University of Michigan men's team in August 2014.
Our newest AAI Ambassador is currently competing (and doing very well) in the 2015 World Gymnastics Championships.

Thousands of people, one after the other, climbed to the top of a dormant volcano in Guatemala over the weekend, ascending the 12,352-foot slope of the Volcan de Agua (Volcano of Water).
They weren't on an adventure excursion though. It was a mega protest against domestic violence, which included 12,000 women, children, and men (including Guatemala's new president Otto Perez Molina).
Look at the photos here.
Ninety percent of the non-governmental organisations in Mexico are founded and run by women, says journalist and women's rights activist Lydia Cacho Ribeiro, even as crimes against women remain cloaked in impunity.
Karin Alfredsson is spearheading a nongovernmental project to document violence against women around the world, and to highlight the shortcomings and successes of legislation and other initiatives aimed at helping to curb it.
Stockholm: Violence against women worldwide causes more deaths and injuries than traffic accidents, cancer, and malaria combined.
MEXICO CITY — Mexican educators and officials defended the country's public school sex education Friday from criticism by a Roman Catholic bishop who said such teachings make celibacy vows more difficult for priests to keep.
Education Secretary Alonso Lujambio told reporters that public-school sexual education texts "seek to make our boys and girls responsible, to take responsibility for their actions, and for that they need information."
Lujambio said the programs are careful to avoid "hurting any social sensitivities."

Deshaun Watson's improvement puts him in Heisman race
In a season where we've seen the top teams move about, and the College Football Playoff rankings change every week, the constant has been Clemson. One of the last undefeated teams in the nation, with big wins over Notre Dame and Florida State, they are wins over South Carolina and North Carolina, with the latter in the ACC Championship Game, away from being confirmed as the No. 1 seed in the playoff.
It's been a team effort, and the Tigers are buoyed by defensive standouts like defensive end Shaq Lawson (+25.6) and safety Jayron Kearse (+17.6), both of whom rank near the top of their position groups, but the big story in the second half of this season has been the progression of quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson was a player who a lot of people were expecting big things from in his true sophomore season, especially after the flashes we saw in his freshman year. He missed time through injury, and wasn't perfect by any means, but big performances against Florida State and North Carolina gave a glimpse at someone who could be a top quarterback. With an arm good enough to create big plays deep, he went 13-for-31 for 446 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception on throws 20 yards or more downfield.
As the 2015 season began, he looked solid, but as much as he wasn't playing poorly, there wasn't that step up that you would have liked to have seen in his second season. In the early-season Thursday night win over Louisville he graded negatively as a passer, something that happened three times in the first six games of the season. Despite completing 70 percent of his passes, it wasn't a good night for Watson, who completed just two passes (both for touchdowns) of throws travelling 10 or more yards downfield. When the Louisville defense was able to get pressure that night, Watson completed just 28.6 percent of his passes. His struggles were compiled by two interceptions against the Louisville defense.
Watson's season turned during the shootout against North Carolina State on Oct. 31. The Wolfpack's defense has struggled in 2015, and the Clemson signal-caller took advantage of this, beating them for five touchdowns with no interceptions, completing 76.7 percent of his passes on his way to a 383-yard passing day. Even more impressive about that completion percentage was the fact that there was a batted pass and a dropped pass in there, with Watson actually accurate on 82.8 percent of his throws in the game. It wasn't the type of game to give him a big stage for a Heisman moment, but there haven't been many better performances from quarterbacks so far this year. Four of his five touchdowns came on passes travelling more than 20 yards in the air, including the one below that hit freshman wide receiver Deon Cain perfectly in stride.
He followed that up with another big performance, this time in Clemson's biggest game of the year against Florida State. The numbers weren't as impressive as against NC State, but he still completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 297 yards with a touchdown, adding another 107 yards on the ground. He made plenty of big throws in that game, and his rushing ability added to that to give Clemson the edge, putting them in the driver's seat for a place in the ACC Championship game.
Since the lopsided win over Miami, Watson has graded positively as a passer in every game, with his rushing boosting his grade and the Clemson offense when it's been needed. He's a gifted athlete who can make a defense pay with his legs, but it's been the maturation of him as a passer which has seen him really start to impress and become the type of quarterback many believed he could be after last season. Comparing his performances as a passer from the first eight weeks of the season to the past four really is night and day.
|Weeks 1-8
|Weeks 9-12
|Passing Grade
|Accuracy %
|77.2 %
|Deep Passing Yards
Perhaps it was harsh to expect so much early in the season, particularly as he had missed some time as a freshman, leading to him playing just 333 snaps heading into this season. Now, with a bit more experience under his belt, we've seen Watson transform from a player who was a solid young quarterback with a lot of potential, into one of the best quarterbacks in the country. His big arm is powering the Clemson offense towards a potential national championship this season, and with the Heisman race still wide open there's every chance that there's an individual award in Watson's future too. Either way, with Watson continuing to grow, the sky is the limit for both him and the program, both this year and beyond.

Unknown 30 second boot delay after password entered
Hi Folks - need some advice here. I recently bought a new homebuilt system given my Dell box going south on me.
Here's the issue:
The boot time on the Dell box (XPS 430 Core 2 Quad - 8GB Ram - Radeon 4000x series) was virtually instantaneous from the time I hit enter on the password screen till I see the desktop.
However, the new box...
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50 GHz 8MB Cache/Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard/VisionTek 900339 Radeon HD 6850 Video Card - 1024MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0/Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 1TB 7200 rpm 64 mb cache/16 GB Dual Channel DDR3 PNY SDRAM at 1067MHz/1333MHz
...takes almost 33 seconds from the time I hit enter on the password till I see the desktop!
Now here's what really doesn't compute. There is less data in the new install, and the page file is on another hdd, in additon to the 8 core processor with 16 GB of faster ram & an 80% free 1TB HDD.
I've been trying to all sorts of different approaches to try to resolve the 33 second problem:
1. Event viewer per this TechRepublic video: TR Dojo: Diagnose slow Windows 7 boot with Event Viewer | TechRepublic (no processes or programs indicated)
2. Clean booting per this page: How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows Vista or Windows 7
3. Bios default settings (not many changes anyways)
4. Manually checking ALL entries in the Device Manager for driver updates
5. Checking all manuf websites for new drivers or windows updates
6. Defragging
7. Avast full scans and MalwareBytes full scans (always clean) x 5
8. Blowing out old restore points
9. CCcleaner Registry scrubs
10. sfc/verifyonly - no problems found
But nothing seems to work. Given that a clean boot didn't resolve the issue, I have a feeling it might be a hardware timeout, but I have no idea if that's right, or how to trace it (the stuff I google is way above my head).
Anyone have any ideas?

Still working it
The MSconfig is already set to 3 (should have mentioned that earlier).
I ran the boot trace, but I can't make heads or tails of how to read that thing. With 2.6 mil + entires, I guess i should cut my losses.
I would upload the log for some brave soul to peruse but it's 282 MBs for some reason.

I know your issue exactly. Your motherboard drivers are trying to update/check. I don't remember how to turn it off but I don't think it's in msconfig. I THINK you type gigabyte in your search bar and there will be some sort of program/updater to open and then within that you can turn off the automatic updating on restart.
EDIT: it might also just be in msconfig but i cant remember. Not at my computer right now. This is definitely your issue though.
Or it's through bios. Frig i cant remember.
|My System Specs
|12 Oct 2012
Appreciate the reply (and the earlier replies).
Nope, Gigabyte's auto check is already turned off. Can't imagine there are enough bios updates that it needs to check every time there is a boot.
On a whim I uninstalled Avast in safe mode with their uninstall tool & rebooted, but that wasn't it.
Still getting the feeling it's a hardware timeout somewhere. I'm betting that's it because i had the same programs installed on the old system and roughly the same programs at boot on the new one. Since the HW changed, it's got to be something in either those drivers or a HW check of some kind.
|My System Specs
|12 Oct 2012
I'm going to reach out to Gigabyte to see if it's something to do with the new MB. Since that thing is packed with all sorts of stuff, maybe it's the root cause somehow. Since I'm using everything on it except for the video, that's probably the issue.
Appreciate any other thoughts from any else tho.

While you are in msconfig check services. Lower left corner put a check mark in Hide All Microsoft Services. What is left are 3rd party services. I only have any anti virus programs checked. Many programs will plant them self their and constantly check for updates. That being said you must check for updates yourself. I use this little free program off a desktop icon once a day.

text: Hello What do you think about the next strategy: I don´t want to create an ebook just to find out the topic doesn´t convert into sales. My plan is just to create a landing page (no ebook) and send over 200 - 500 targetted visitors through ppc. After they bought the book (that doesn´t exist) they will get an error and i will send them a refund + 5$ (for the troubles they went through...) within the next hour. After 500 visitors i will be able to see if the topic converts or not. If it does convert i will create an ebook. This way I don´t spend countless hours in creating the ebook just to find out it doesn´t convert. what are your thoughts about this? Greetz smetten

Cinematography can be the key to capturing your audience for a few reasons. Obviously, crisp-cut editing and steady hands are essential to quality visuals, but in a genre where words are as important as they are in Hip-Hop specifically, making sure the lyrics translate into a proper video concept can dictate the success of your song. Obviously on top of his eye-appealing etiquette, Kendall Elijah's new video for "The Wild" is a perfect example of someone making their name stand out further from having a keen sense of how their artistry should be viewed.
To help funnel his message of anti-materialism into susceptible minds, the Maryland MC enlisted director Jared Soule to give his tempting track a Wes Anderson feel and bring to life the bewilderment that can occur when you finally get exactly what you ask for. The shots look they were framed by a museum curator. The theme leaves you mesmerized. And because of both, the words echo louder than usual and ensures listeners are left searching for the Eli Dynamite EP that houses the song, despite being released almost a year ago.
If you're an artist looking to make a splash, follow Elijah's suit and take time grooming your image, before you start opening up to the world. Quality over quantity, folks. Works every time.

And here we go with the third book in the Steampunk Chronicles, The Girl with the Iron Touch by Kady Cross. Not too long ago I read the first two books in this series and reviewed them. This one I received as an advance reader copy from the publisher.
Description from Goodreads:
When mechanical genius Emily is kidnapped by rogue automatons, Finley Jayne and her fellow misfits fear the worst. What's left of their archenemy, The Machinist, hungers to be resurrected, and Emily must transplant his consciousness into one of his automatons—or forfeit her friends' lives.
With Griffin being mysteriously tormented by the Aether, the young duke's sanity is close to the breaking point. Seeking help, Finley turns to Jack Dandy, but trusting the master criminal is as dangerous as controlling her dark side. When Jack kisses her, Finley must finally confront her true feelings for him…and for Griffin.
Meanwhile, Sam is searching everywhere for Emily, from Whitechapel's desolate alleyways to Mayfair's elegant mansions. He would walk into hell for her, but the choice she must make will test them more than they could imagine.
To save those she cares about, Emily must confront The Machinist's ultimate creation—an automaton more human than machine. And if she's to have any chance at triumphing, she must summon a strength even she doesn't know she has….
When reading the first two books in this series, I did a lot of ignoring the weird way the characters just seemed to take for granted the unusual things that happened around them and the baseless trust they showed in near strangers. The fast pace of the story and the intriguing plot do a lot to make up for the shallow characters, and the same is true in this book. Cross is an excellent storyteller, knowing just the right time and place to leave suspense and build tension. I might personally have been a little happier with a little less time devoted to the characters' inner romantic turmoil, but I do see how the romantic developments helped drive the story along. I'm still not completely over the moon about the Steampunk Chronicles, but I will continue to read them just to find out what happens next.

"Consider two objects A and B, a is the number of features (characteristics) present in A and absent in B, b is the number of features absent in A and present in B, c is the number of features common to both objects, and d is the number of features absent from both objects. Thus, c and d measure the present and the absent matches, respectively, i.e., similarity; while a and b measure the corresponding mismatches, i.e., dissimilarity."

Greetings Fellow Space Travelers, Happy Freyja'sDay!
"If this isn't nice, what is?"
A kind of brilliant question Kurt Vonnegut asks repeatedly in a series of commencement speeches that were ultimately complied into a book titled, "If This Isn't Nice, What Is?: Advice to the Young."
"If this isn't nice, what is?" was something Mr. Vonnegut's uncle always said in the midst of a 'perfect' moment, and I have taken the practice of it to heart.
It's such a simple practice – it's gratitude. Acknowledgement of "ALL THAT IS", in the immediate right-here-and-now, and just being grateful for it. And I've been doing it multiple times on a daily basis lately.
- In the midst of so much tumultuous propaganda from what seems like every corner of my reality these days, finding small, simple, quiet moments where I can breathe deeply, smile out at the Universe, and inwardly toward myself and say, "If this isn't nice, what is?" literally slows down the moment – almost stops time – and let's me revel in the joy of being human. And for something that is our basic nature – being human – some days that's just way more difficult than others, so this small, but incredibly effective practice feels like all the gold in the world to me right now.
So yeah, sitting in a moment of bliss, prolonged by my own brain's power of suggestion. What a beautiful concept 😉 eh?
Tuesday night was beautiful for so many reasons, but I'll share a couple.
I only had two students come for Pound Fitness®, but they both put so much into their workouts, I mean, we're talking – moving beyond adaptation, and just going for it, full-on. They got so into what they were doing – form, technique, intensity – that I totally lost my place in leading the class a couple of times! <3 #Awesome
And THEN! In Anatomy of Bellydance, which is a movement awareness class with a focus on Bellydance (so if you're a complete novice to dance, movement, etc …this is a really great place to begin) I had the brain-child-brilliance to line up some of my most favorite Sezen Aksu (Turkish pop music icon whose birthday just happens to have been yesterday, July 13th.) The brilliance of this move is that Sezen is a master of emotion, and in bellydance (most dance) the arms and hands quite literally hold and pass along the emotion of our dance. Arms and hands aren't the only way we hold or pass along emotion – but they're probably the easiest.
We had one completely-new-to-us student, but everyone went *all-in* …standing in one place for 10 minutes, scooping air? No problem! Being asked to 'dance on your own' with little to no instruction other than to 'connect to your heart'? No problem! <3 I don't know if you've ever gotten to have an experience where everyone in the same room is focusing on the same general principle, but are each doing entirely their own thing – they are some of the most completely real and completely ecstatic experiences of my life.
I'm pretty sure that if I have a dream for the human race, that experience for everyone is it.
This week, I also worked my way through another listen of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens" and was left (again) with how much I rather adore the Adam Young character. Aw heck, I love ALL of the characters in this book. They're all just …just …so freaking human <3 even the angels and demons, which is perhaps why I love it all so thoroughly. I highly recommend the book, but give fair warning, both Mr. Pratchett and Mr. Gaiman write with a fondness for tangents. I personally live for tangents, but if that's not your thing, this might not be your book. Having given the warning, I leave you with this bit of Adam Young logic:
"But you can't just leave it at that!" said Anathema, pushing forward. "Think of all things you could do! Good things!"
"Like what?" said Adam suspiciously.
"Well … you could bring all the whales back, to start with."
He put his head on one side. "An' that'd stop people killing them, would it?"
She hesitated. It would have been nice to say yes.
"An' if people do start killing 'em, what would you have me do about 'em?" said Adam. "No. I reckon I'm getting the hang of this now. Once I start messing around like that, there'd be no stoppin' it. Seems to me, the only sensible thing is for people to know if they kill a whale, they've got a dead whale."
And thus endeth the lesson. *snort*
For those of you based in a Franco-centric (no, not James Franco …France ~ Franco …uhm. yeah) state/country, HAPPY BASTILLE DAY! And Happy Meg-Day! No, you don't have to know who Meg is, just know that *this* is her day.
Probably that's all you really need to know about July 14th. <3
Next week kicks off DANCE WEEK in New Orleans, (July 17-29) wrapping everything up on July 29th with National Dance Day! Check out your local listings, there's probably some *really* great stuff going on in your neck of the woods.
For my own part – I've got $5 POUND® classes (5 days a week!!!) Y'all come on and get sweaty with us and bang sticks together!
On the non-movement side of things, I've got openings for Guided Soul Tours, and just for the week of July 24th-30th, I'm doing $20 email readings, or $30 – 1/2 hour phone sessions. Just shoot me an email here if you are interested in any of these services. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 15th I'll be teaching PoundFitness® at 9am over at Crescent Lotus Dance Studio. As ever, no rhythm, skills, equipment, or experience necessary – you can even forget your sneakers and still be able to get into this workout. I provide music, Ripstix®, and yoga mats – you just show up. Walk-ins are always welcome.
Next week my schedule over at Crescent Lotus looks a bit like this:
Mon – PoundFitness® 5:15PM
Tue – PoundFitness® 6PM followed by Anatomy of Bellydance (A.o.B.) @ 7:15PM
Thu – PoundFitness® 5:30PM
Fri – PoundFitness® 8:30AM
Sat – PoundFitness® 9AM
In Anatomy of Bellydance (A.o.B.) just a heads up – for the last 3 months of the calendar year (I know …it kind of sounds blasphemous to say it that way right now, doesn't it?) we will focus on floor work! <3 I'm getting giddy just thinking about it. So, yes, there will be strengthening and flexibility exercises, but OH the places we'll go! It's going to be quite a ride and I'd love to have you join us!
The Happy Freyja'sDay Dance video from this morning is at the bottom of this post, & as always, I hope you dance along.
Until next time, I hope you get to spend time with people you love doing stuff that fills you up and brings you joy!
~Shamsi, Charlie, Me
Happy Freyja'sDay World!

Throughout the campaign to pass marriage equality in Washington state, many religious voices were raised in opposition. Both the National Organization for Marriage the the LDS pumped in millions of dollars for its defeat. Their efforts proved ineffective, however, and marriage equality finally became reality. This past week, couples lined up to receive their marriage licenses. Choral groups serenaded those in line. It was a celebratory event that spread throughout the downtown area. Then, on Sunday, couples were finally able to marry. The King County Courthouse opened to hundreds of couples that streamed through line to be married. Two couples were married Sunday evening at a performance of the Seattle Men's Chorus. And, at Seattle First Baptist Church, couples married en masse. During the evening, the Paramount Theater opened for a giant wedding reception with speeches by the governor and other dignitaries, but more importantly, for dancing and celebration. So many have waited so long to do something so normal and so holy; it was time to party.
My own denomination, heck, even my own congregation, is not of one mind on marriage equality. We will be offering the same kinds of marital support at my church for all couples. If two people support and love one another, live in fidelity, and pledge their troth one to the other, it is my obligation and privilege to stand with them and to offer blessings upon their union. Somewhere along the line, Protestants ceased to recognize marriage as a sacrament. While I understand the reasons for so doing, something was lost. You see, I don't "perform" a wedding or "marry" people. In this sense, marriage is a sacrament. The wedding is an outward sign of an inward grace - how we refer to sacraments. This weekend, there were many outwards signs of much inward grace. And, every church I serve will support grace in all of its forms.
I have been pretty quiet about the weddings taking place across the state - all over my city. But, I have watched them. The photos of joyful children literally hopping up and down with excitement for their two moms or two dads. Families in tears of joy. Couples in shocked disbelief that their state and some of their churches and synagogues were welcoming them in the exact same way as every other couple.
This seems like a problem for the privileged. Marriage equality. In some ways it is. But in many ways it is about basic civil rights. Basic human dignity. Basic spiritual nurture and care. There is nothing superfluous or ancillary about these things.
I know that millions upon millions of people think that marriage equality redefines marriage, perverts family, and harms children. The data don't support these prejudices, as much as fringe research projects are lifted up as proof. I know that many people are "turned off" by gay marriage by what I call the "ick factor." Yet, more and more people are opening their hearts and changing their minds. Even eight years ago, these weddings would have been but a distant dream. Today, they are reality. Let me say that again. Today, these marriages are reality, not only as an inward grace, but in the code of law...at least state law.
By no means is the fight for equal rights over. By no means is the struggle for equal spiritual care and nurture over. Sadly, religious people tend to be further behind on this than other people. However, those who try to paint all religious people with the same brush are wrong. Hundreds of couples will have weddings just as mundane and as sacred as every other couple...in churches...with ugly bridesmaid dresses...with bickering parents...and friends who show up drunk to the rehearsal. What a wonderful thought. Churches and synagogues will welcome people to no fanfare at all. That's really my dream. The celebration that is going on right now is wonderful. History is being made. But, what a day it will be when Adam and Steve can be married just as easily and without any more attention that Adam and Eve. Then we can focus more on their love and less on the political struggle. That's what will support and strengthen these families - the simple opportunity to be families.
Congratulations, history makers. Thank you to all of the civil servants who made this weekend's weddings possible. Blessings to all of the churches that threw open their doors in welcome...and repentance.
One more photo-essay, just because they are all wonderful.

Hello lovelies
The Halloween outfit and makeup ideas just keep on gathering so I decided to create a Vampy makeup look and edgy outfit.
I added some asos high neck socks and ankle boots from rivers.
Here is my Youtube Video for this look
For makeup I just used my normal foundation base and eyebrow routine so I'm not going to mention that in this post.
For the smokey black eye look I added Glow from ColourPop it's a matte cream shadow this is perfect for any eye base I then added a shadow from my w7 the nudes palette called Alice. To start creating the dark black smokey look I added the Black shade from my Maybelline in the nudes all over my lid with a damp brush I then added some black khol liner over the top and smudged it out then I added the Lana Del Grey Australis Metallix Shadow to give some hints of grey I then added my black shadow that I got from Kmart by the brand Oxx.
Add some black eyeliner and heaps of mascara and that's they eye look. For my cheeks I used cookie crumble by smooch cosmetics & for my lips I went for Diva by Mac this is my favourite dark red shade ever.
I hope you enjoyed this Halloween Look

Many students have skipped the AIEEE exam to attend the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) exam which will be started at 2:30 pm on the same day.
Students will face a problem as the AIEEE exam has been rescheduled on May 8 and on the same day Karnataka COMEDK exam is to be conducted.
However, the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) authorities, who conduct the AIEEE exam, declared that the the May 8 exam will be held at the same centre and the same admit card will be valid.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Special DGP (Law and Order) Brij Lal informed that the AIEEE paper was being sold for upto Rs 6 lakhs in the market on Saturday, Apr 30.

Total value for money....
Home style, cheap, good taste & super pocket friendly joint which has been around since ages.
Food: Decent quantity for 2 people and tasty as well.
Some of our all time favorites are - Paneer masala, Veg Korma, Dal Makhani, Dal Fry & Jeera Rice
This place is mostly frequented by students of Wilson college and many other youngsters. For obvious reasons (home cooked & cheap).
Surely a must go!!

If you miss home food, Crystal is the place to be.
This quaint like little place overlooks the Chowpatty Beach and is a dream joint for every student in Mumbai, who crave for food which tastes like home food at affordable prices".
Crystal, is one of those places in Mumbai that has home style cooking at an external environment. It is opposite Chowpatty, near Wilson College, where you see people lined up for lip - smacking food and not for the view or anything else. Crystal could have given up its stature and become modern like other Irani Cafes have reinvented themselves with times, but their origin is their beauty. In the afternoon they open from 12 noon till 3:00 pm and you might also get a free table. However, if you arrive in the evening when they open from 7 pm till 10:30 pm, be prepared to que up for a little while.
A canteen / mess type ambience with Plastic Chairs, Iron Tables and steel crockery. Fast service and the waiters are straight forward. Don't expect courtesy as you normally do while going to a restaurant. You will not get a place after 7.30 on weekends.
Lets get down to the Food -
When I stepped inside I could get clues to the kind of food I would have got here. We ordered the "Dal Makhani" , "Paneer Masala" , "Pav Bhaji" , "Paranthas" , "Roti" & their Famous "Kheer".
Buttered Roti's and Dal Makhani are the local favorites. I did not like much of the Paneer Masala though but loved the Pav Bhaji and ordered few extra Pav (Bun Bread).
If you are the one who needs air conditioner, folded napkins like a fine dining experience then this place is not recommended for you. The service here is very quick and the food is good.
As the old saying goes - Save the best for the last and they make it happen. Howsoever, full I was, I ordered their Trademark Kheer. Its a must must , must have. Highly recommended! I finished the entire bowl without thinking about my calories. I will get your money back if you tell me you did not like it.
Conclusion - Damage to the pocket is minimal. For two people you pay Rs 200-500 apart from the generous tip. Excellent service. Manageable portions for two people. Well priced. No A.C and frills for ambiance. Non spicy, basic flavor preparations of food. Its closed on Monday.
If you miss home food , you know where you can find it now! :-)

Only to eat & nothing else to see or get
One of the most frequently suggested place to eat in south Mumbai if your facing a cash crunch. But just dont go it being economical as the food is as good. If you the one, who needs ACs, folded napkins like a fine dining restaurant then you should stop reading this right away. The service is fast & the food is good. This only veg indian serving cuisine is in shabby conditions & not been renovated in decades. That doesnt deter people coming and eating here. Butter roti, tomato & potato sabji, egg bhurji and dal makhani are the local favorites. The even serve chilled kheer all throught the year while a small bowl of aam ras in seasons as well. Leaving apart the shabby state of this place, décor & ambience which are at zilch, the food & service is worth it.

Homely Food away from Home
A place where I love to visit whenever I am in this side of the town. Homely Food, great value for money! Kheer, Fruit Cream, Baingan ka Bharta and Tomato Rice are the compulsory in my order! A canteen / mess type ambiance with Plastic Chairs, Iron Tables and steel crockery! Fast service and the waiters are straight forward! Don't expect courtesy as you normally do while going to a restaurant. No number, only queues if there is a rush - You will not get a place after 7.30 in weekends.Only 'Word of Mouth' is the media for publicity!

VFM homely food
So what does one do when one longs for homely, Punjabi food (non - dhaba style)? One needs to head to Crystal. The place has zero ambiance old building and rickety furniture, but scores high on food. Probably this is the reason that there is always a queue to get in. So what does one order at Crystal? Well almost everything is good, but my special recommendation is rajma, which is probably the best in town. The meal has to be ended with their kheer which again is heavenly. This is absolutely a no frills place just come, sit, eat and go out. Clearly one of the best places for homely, VFM food in the city, that ranks high on my list.

Hidden Gem
Most people do not know about Crystal unless they have been introduced to it by a family member or friend. It is located in an old building opposite Chowpatty beach and doesn't have much in terms of ambiance. But the food and service more than makes up for it and Crystal is probably the best place in terms of value for money with the average cost per person around Rs. 100 even today. The only thing one needs to be prepared for is waiting 15-30 min in a queue as the place is quite small. I believe Crystal now also has one more food joint in Lower Parel although oddly they keep it closed on Sundays

No nonsesne restaurant
Located on the chowpatty seaface, the access to the restaurant is quite easy.
My friends suggested this restaurant and went there to have a bite recently, and i did have more than a bite :)
Invariably there is a line which stretches up to the next shop and takes around 20-30 mins to get inside on a weekend.
Once we got in and looked at the menu, we were surprised by looking at the prices.
Must try the Masala Papad and the parathas. We ordered Malai Kofta ( which was good and served very hot) and the Dry vegetable - Aloo ( tasted like home cooked aloo sabzi) then some rotis and a veg biryani.
A boondi raita and Kheer was also ordered to finish the huge meal !
All of the orders tasted really good and the service was fast and prompt.
After eating all this the bill wasn't even 300 Rs.
Tip: Buy a mineral water bottle and carry soap strips/ hand sanitizer with you.
The overall cleanliness of the restaurant is okay but the food and the plates in which it was served were very clean.
Will surely go many more times.

¬ЂAbout school¬ї
School is our second home. I often hear it from the teachers. And I agree with them. I like to go to school because here I can learn more about the world around me. I communicate with a big number of people. And this helped me to make new friends. Besides this the school teaches us how to behave correctly with senior people as well as the friends.
Each day in school looks like a magical trip to unknown worlds. I have different lessons like History, Literature, and Math where teacher shows me different pieces of our big world. I like History most of all as in this way I can get to know about the events that took place many years ago. I learnt about big number of persons whose names we remember for today.
Some pupils do not like school as they have certain problems with study. But I think that when you want you can overcome any problems. Moreover the teachers in our school are always very friendly. They always try to help every pupil to understand the material and get the better marks. I can always ask teacher if something is unclear for me. Besides this, teachers are going with us to different museums, exhibitions, parks telling us many interesting things and teaching us to become cultured persons.
School gives me a lot of knowledge and helps me to get prepared for the grown-up life.
