It was high school in 2004, there was yet to be a Taylor Swift in the world of musical releases. What was a girl who experienced heartbreak daily to listen to? For me, that person was Missy Higgins, the Australian singer-songwriter with a penchant for unfiltered and personal lyrics delivered with genuine, raw emotion. The...Read More →
Maybe not everyone knows who The Goo Goo Dolls are, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has NEVER in their life heard the pop-rock ballad by the name of Iris which made its home on Dizzy Up The Girl in 1998, the sixth studio album which solidified The Goo Goo Dolls sound and...Read More →
Reading descriptions of Untrue from other critics is endlessly fascinating, given that Burial himself has described the record as "a glowing, buzzing album". More than just about any other artist, Burial inspires journalists to write the most verbose copy, speaking of "desolate streets" and "half-remembered dreams". The overwhelming impression one gets is that his music...Read More →
A few times every decade, there comes along a totally unexpected album that redefines a genre. These albums are undeniably innovative, spinning their genre in a totally new direction, and the music industry follows them for years to come. Silent Shout is one such album, having seemingly come from nowhere in 2006, and its influence...Read More →
The true genius that survives deep within great artists can often be pinpointed down to a single body of work that encapsulates their ethos and heaving talent. Michael Jackson showed us Thriller, Stevie Wonder swooned with Songs In The Key of Life, Miles Davis had Kind Of Blue and J Dilla gave us Donuts. Settling...Read More →
45 years ago, the Motown giant, gospel-infused innovator helped shape the way music and truth coexist. Marvin Gaye is undeniably one of if not the most influential artists of that era, still revered and looked upon by modern musicians and singers of today. His 1971 album, What's Going On, hinged on political unrest, devouring messages...Read More →
'Play it again;' came the call from the floor of the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, as Slint wrapped up the evening's performance, 'the whole set!' Cheers of agreement quickly overtook laughter as the crowd's response, with everyone present still ready, willing, and eager for anything – and everything – the elusive group from...Read More →
Throughout her musical career, Polly Jean Harvey has never been one to repeat herself creatively, with each of her albums bearing a distinctive artistic identity. While the jump from the heavy, muscular, tones of 2004's Uh Huh Her to the delicate and gothic sounds of White Chalk in 2007 may have been the most jarring...Read More →
Annie's career may seem to have slowed to a near-halt, with no new albums materialising since Don't Stop released in 2009, but that's not due to a lack of success or attention. After breaking onto the scene with Anniemal in 2004, she charted high in her native Norway and decently on the US Dance charts,...Read More →
Metric's earlier years as a band were somewhat more chaotic than most in terms of sound. While they had recorded an album as early as 2001, which would eventually be released as their third album Grow Up and Blow Away in 2007, its constant delays led to the recording of the actual debut album, Old...Read More →
Before Australian singer/songwriter Sia Furler swung from the Chandelier and hid her face she was a left-of-centre kind of an artist. While she has always written pop music for herself it took a while for her own career to soar. Titanium wasn't her first chart success believe it or not. Eleven years ago Sia released her third studio album Colour...Read More →
In many ways, Supermodel of the World represents the birth of an icon.

The release of Supermodel of...Read More →
Let's take a moment to do some time travelling. No not to the mythical land of the Year 3000, but rather to the early noughties.

The Japanese Art of Reiki
"These precepts appear to be practical reminders on how to get the most out of life by affirming correct attitudes but their secret is that they can affect humans in other, deeper ways."
Kathleen Prasad and Elizabeth Fulton
Animal Reiki
"In Shinto, heaven, earth and humanity are different manifestations of one life energy."
Motohisa Yamakage
The Essence of Shinto - Japan's Spiritual Heart
"We must therefore keep our mind firmly at the center of our body (tanden) that is the center of our true self, to avoid it falling into a state of imbalance."
Motohisa Yamakage
The Essence of Shinto - Japan's Spiritual Heart
"You should neither boast of yourself by talking about your own experience nor discuss whose experience is inferior or superior."
Motohisa Yamakage
The Essence of Shinto - Japan's Spiritual Heart
"In this sense, every manifestation in the cosmos is a manifestation of 'me'. All this should not be understood only at the rational level. It must be experienced intuitively as we access our inner kami."
Motohisa Yamakage
The Essence of Shinto - Japan's Spiritual Heart
"However, it must also be said that in Japan, as in other advanced industrial societies, a climate of spiritual ignorance has arisen. This leads, among other things, to a casual, 'mix and match' approach of spiritual practice."
Motohisa Yamakage
The Essence of Shinto - Japan's Spiritual Heart
"So you begin this study by training the ch'i by means of technique. After your beginning studies, you still discipline your ch'i, but move away from technique."
William Scott Wilson
The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts
"Thus the person whose art is not yet mature may meet with famous monks of great wisdom, yet he will still not have an awakening."
William Scott Wilson
The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts
"Mind and ch'i are fundamentally of one essence. If you were to speak of separating them, they would be like fire and firewood."
William Scott Wilson
The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts

William Scott Wilson

"When the mind resides in technique, ch'i is hindered and is not in harmony."
William Scott Wilson
The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts
"When there is nothing in your mind, your ch'i is in harmony and tranquil. When your ch'i is in harmony and tranquil, it will be active and flowing, but it has no fixed form; and without using strength, it will be naturally strong."
William Scott Wilson
The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts
"The truth is something beyond our ability to describe, beyond our thinking. Truth can also mean 'the wonderful source', wonderful beyond description. This is the source of all being."
Shunryu Suzuki
Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness
"Each being is itself pure source, and pure source is nothing but each being. They are not two things."
Shunryu Suzuki
Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness

Shunryu Suzuki
Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness

IT'S starting to feel a lot like Christmas. Serangoon Road ends, probably forever. A 90-minute The Living Room special and a top A-League game. Welcome to TV Picks with a national TV guide, so you can find out what's on TV wherever you live.
Serangoon Road, ABC1, 9.25pm 3 and a half stars
This should've been a big show for the ABC. It wasn't. I blame the name. It's terrible. The rest of the show was good though. CIA in mid-60s Singapore, Vietnam War, a murdered husband with a second family stashed away, Chinese gangs, a new murder every week, those slow-moving ceiling fans ... And it looked gorgeous. And I'm not just talking about Don Hany either. It also had that guy Michael Dorman from Wonderland in it, and Maeve Dermody and Joan Chen from Twin Peaks, still incredibly beautiful and who knows how old she is, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor and Tony Martin. Not Tony Martin who's funny, the other one who was Reverend Bob in E Street. God I loved E Street. This is the last episode and I can't see it coming back for another season. It's a fantastic ending because nothing goes the way you think it's going to, which is always preferable to the endings we usually get on television, ie, you can seem them coming like one of those summer storms that have hailstones in them.
The Living Room, Channel 10, 7.30pm 3 and a half stars
Oh sure, their big Christmas special tonight might have Ben Stiller and Kristin Wiig and Adam Gilchrist* (*not in order of importance) but it's Baz's Christmas lights segment that'll get the crowds in. Not that it's really a segment. More of its own show really. You remember Clark Griswold's lights in Christmas Vacation. The Grevilles' house makes Clark's look like it's got a cigarette lighter tied to its letterbox. It's Kristie's fault. The wife. She wants "crazy, massive lights everywhere" whereas Simon, the prudent husband, is worried about the power bill. I'm hoping The Living Room check back in with the Grevilles in about May next year to see if these lights are still up. I love those houses. Baz has installed EXTRA POWER POINTS outside to accommodate these lights. This is how seriously he's taking this project. Plus, you know, he doesn't want to burn their house down. He's lighting up the following areas: the gables, the eaves, the windows, the trees, and there's a star that appears to shoot light from the roof. I hope this doesn't sound gaudy the way I'm describing it. As if! And obviously this is one of those Friday night jobs you need to start in September and that involve chicken wire and pliers. For your star just remember these numbers: 12, two, five, seven and 10, then get your saw out. It could not be simpler. And when it's done, your reward will be your blazing home and possibly cataracts. Simon says he wishes the house looked like this every day, which I think we an take to mean there's no way he's getting up there and taking those lights down ever again.
A-League, SBS2 and Fox Sports 1, 7.30pm 3 and a half stars
Melbourne Victory looking for revenge against Mariners
Harry Kewell in - A League round 8 squads
Injured stars out will hurt Western Sydney Wanderers
Bluetongue Stadium Gosford. Fantastic name. I hate naming rights but I love this one. I mean, I'm assuming it's not named after an actual lizard. This is a big game tonight. I say this every week but Central Coast will move to fourth on the ladder if they win - and Melbourne Victory will leap to second. I think I've got that right. I'm looking at the ladder now. Leap's maybe a bit strong. Victory's got those two bloke's out on suspension so it's the Mariners week to win. Not sure they will though, but they're looking fit, if that counts for anything. Probably does. You'll still be putting your fairy lights up though.

Bosphorus EBC Series 21 in. Rough Ride Cymbal
EBC Series consist from original and uniquely designed cymbals for today's trending musical needs such as electronic techno and groovy music and offers a new solution with acoustic cymbals for many genres which usually filled up with electronic equipment. Also each cymbal of the line will be a strong alternative individually for the drummers who are seeking for new sounds for their drum sets. There are 3 different rides 2 crashes 1 china and a pair of hi-hats in the line and we believe each cymbal will be very attractive for many drummers all over the World.
Very unique dark dry and effective sound with short resonance. Full with fat middle frequencies. A little bit trashy when they hit the edge of the ride just like a crash cymbal. Ideal for playing Breakbeat Trip-Hop and fast tempo Jungle beats. There are four hammered big cove in a square shape on the middle part. It gives the little bit trashy and very short sound.

State of the States on the No Child Left Behind Act
August 24, 2004
What's really going on with the No Child Left Behind Act?
As states compile their lists of schools meeting or not meeting Adequate Yearly Progress standards and as parents ready themselves to make decisions concerning public school choice or tutoring services for their children, the Education Commission of the States (ECS) has released a report outlining how well states are implementing NCLB.
According to the report, ECS Report to the Nation: State Implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act, all 50 states have met or are "partially on track" to meeting 20 of the 40 requirements of NCLB.
The ECS found that states made significant gains in implementation from March 2003 to March 2004. In fact, 48 states met or were on track to meeting 75 percent of NCLB's requirements, and five states - Connecticut, Kentucky, New York, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania - had achieved or partially met all 40 NCLB requirements.
Progress, however, is uneven. Highlights from the seven policy areas - report cards, public school choice, supplemental services, safe schools, standards and assessments, adequate yearly progress and teacher quality - are as follows:
- Report Cards: 19 states are on track to
provide school report cards with information on schools'
achievement rates, graduation rates, teacher qualifications, and
other indicators. All but one of the rest were partially on
- Public School Choice: Slightly more than half
of the states are on track to make timely identification of schools
and ensure that districts notify parents of this status quickly.
Thirty-four states are on track to provide students in these
schools with the option to transfer to a better school.
- Supplemental Services: 31 states are on track
to ensure that students in poor performing schools have access to
supplemental education services such as tutoring. Forty-eight
states are on track to have criteria for supplemental services, and
45 are on track to have a list of approved providers.
- Safe Schools: Almost all states are on track
to set criteria to identify unsafe schools and transfer policies
for victims of violent crimes and students in unsafe schools.
- Standards and Assessments: 40 states are on
track to establish reading standards, 38 are on track for math
standards and 48 are on track for science standards. The rest are
partially on track to create them. Over half are on track to make
annual assessments in these areas.
- Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP): Most states
are on track to establish statewide accountability systems that
include all public schools and all public school students. All but
two states are at least partially on track measure adequate yearly
progress every year.
- Teacher Quality: All but one state is on track or partially on track to define what makes a "highly qualified teacher." Eleven are on track to establish systems to test teachers' subject matter competency. Most are on track to establish a test for new elementary teachers. No state appeared to be on track to establish annual goals for districts to increase the percentage of highly qualified teachers, so that all teachers would be highly qualified by the end of 2006.
The Education Commission of the States (ECS)
is a nonpartisan organization established in 1965 to provide state
leaders "identify, develop and implement public policies to improve
student learning at all levels." The report can be accessed at
The ECS has also created an NCLB database that presents information on state progress complete with links to helpful web pages from state departments of education available at http://www.ecs.org/NCLBdatabase.

2016 Retail Holiday Season Global Forecast
The 2016 Retail Holiday Season Global Forecast offers an analytical view of business risks major retailers are facing this holiday period. Overall, research shows that retailers in all 13 researched markets will experience both the heaviest sales volumes and the weakest performances specific to margin rate during this time period. Strains on profitability manifest during the holiday season largely because of increased shrink/theft from external (primarily via shoplifting/organized retail crime) and internal sources (primarily via sales reducing activities).
The 13 markets covered in the 99-page report span North America, Europe and Asia, and include the U.S., Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, UK, Australia, China, Hong Kong and Japan.

Heading into Saturday night's inter-conference clash between the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA, Chicago had been playing some of the best soccer in all of MLS. They torched their competition for 18 goals in the month of June, notched one positive result after another.
On Saturday at The Home Depot Center, expansion side Chivas USA proved to be a tough road test for Chicago, but the Fire still managed to escape with a narrow 1-0 victory thanks in large part to a red card ejection to Chivas defender Orlando Perez.
Perez was ejected for an apparent stomp on Chicago's Chris Rolfe while he was on the ground appealing for a penalty. Immediately following the incident, the Fire capitalized on their free kick, scoring the game's only goal in the 78th minute as Gonzalo Segares deflected home a Jim Curtin cross, but after the game Fire head coach Dave Sarachan had nothing but praise for his opponents.
"I think Chivas did a good job. It wasn't an easy night for us to be honest," said Sarachan. "To come out of here at The Home Depot center with three points is still a big moral victory for us."
The game wasn't just a moral victory -- it was the real deal and Chicago walked away with the full three points. With the one-goal win, the Fire continues to build on the momentum that they have been developing over the past several weeks.
The Fire started the season rather slowly, struggling to find themselves. Two early season losses to Eastern Conference frontrunners New England Revolution still sit in the back of the Fire's minds, but according to Jesse Marsch, his mates have come a long way since then.
"We just kind of figured out how to get the best out of certain guys at certain positions," said Marsch. "Sometimes it takes 10, 12, or even 15 games to figure out what your team's going to look like."
Marsch almost was the goat Saturday. In the 69th minute he had a penalty kick opportunity that could have given his side the lead. Instead, Chivas 'keeper Brad Guzan guessed correctly and saved his shot.
Redemption came to Marsch though, as his free kick started the play that led to the game-winning goal, earning himself an assist on the night.
"I felt pretty bad about missing the penalty," said Marsch. "It doesn't matter who scored though so long as we got the goal and the win."
To the credit of Chivas USA, they never quit, even after going down a man and a goal late in the second half. Their best chances came in the opening 45 minutes, but goalkeeper Zach Thornton was equal to everything thrown his way.
In the first half, Thornton was forced to make a couple saves, including a brilliant effort on a Thiago Martins shot that was destined for the back of the net.
"(Martins) got through and I was able to make the save," Thornton said. "But the guys in front of me were doing a good job all night."
The Chicago captain managed to deflect the attention from himself and onto his teammates, but the massive keeper was the hero of the first half. Thornton kept his clean sheet, and his team kept their momentum heading into next weekend's game against the Revolution with first place in the Eastern Conference on the line.
"To get a road win, and to get it the way we did will give us some confidence against New England, the best team in the league," said Thornton.
With the victory, Chicago took over first place for the time being, though they've played four more matches than the Revolution. New England will try and reclaim the top spot for themselves in a matchup of their own in Carson against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Monday.
"Right now on points we're in first place. We know we have some games in hand, but we have a nice win streak going and we have a two-week homestand," said Sarachan. "I think our confidence is high going into next week."

Hello there!
Today is the 13th anniversary of my wedding day...so it seems awfully fitting that the Paper Girls have challenged us to make an anniversary project!
I made this cute little card to give to my husband:
The stamped image and sentiment is from a retired set from Sweet Stamp Shop called Yummy Love - it was perfect for a playful joke we have with each other. I colored the image with Copics and then die cut my pieces from an old Spring collection from Dear Lizzy with steal dies from My Favorite Things. With a little foam tape, the card really came together.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you'll join the challenge and link your project to the Paper Girls Challenge Blog no later than 11:55pm on Saturday, 5/13.
Have a wonderful day!

Seems to have worked fine, was able to make a backup, etc. Now I want to install the Fresh 0.2 ROM but Im stuck. I have downloaded the .zip file to my PC, but now what? How do I actually run the install of the zip file? All the instructions say are to "Download" the ROM zip file...but what do you do after that? Extract or copy it to the SDCard? Through cmd prompt? Need SDK/Java/Eclipse etc in order to install it? I think I have confused myself by searching the forum for the last hour. Go easy on me.

A new survey released at the European and International Societies for Sexual Medicine in Brussels shows that women want more intimate interaction with their partner after sexual intercourse.
The survey of 5,600 women showed that 49% wanted more "after-play". The findings also revealed that women consider longer foreplay and after-play to be more important than actual intercourse. 44% of women wanted longer foreplay and 38% wanted longer penetration.
So guys, focus on the beginning and the end. The rest will take care of itself.

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) – This year's homecoming celebration at the New Mexico Military Institute is about more than just a football game. The school is marking its 125th anniversary.
To celebrate, the Roswell Daily Record reports that cadets will be representing each decade of the institute's history by wearing uniforms from those decades.
In 1898, 13 cadets made history by being the first women to enroll, including Edith Matthews. She'll be represented this weekend by her great-great-granddaughter, cadet Maddux Porter.
A memorial service was held Thursday for fallen cadets. Friday's events include a Hall of Fame reception and an alumni baseball game. Saturday will feature drill team exhibitions and a parade before the start of the homecoming game.
Known as "The West Point of the West," NMMI serves about 1,000 students.

Access to information and communication technology (ICT) provides young people with new opportunities for self-development, education and creativity. ITU estimates that six out of 10 children between three and 17 years old, use the Internet at home (2013). Moreover, 30 per cent of the world's youth are digital natives, having been online for five years or more (2013).
However, an increased use of ICTs also brings new risks. For instance, an estimated 5.43 million young people in the UK have experienced cyberbullying and a new report by Common Sense Media indicates that 50 per cent of teenagers aged 12 – 18 in the US feel addicted to technology.
International Community's Response
As ICT skills become more and more necessary for young people, helping them to find jobs and business opportunities, we need to address this issue.
Since 2005, ITU has worked with its Membership to protect children online through the World Summit on the Information Society. More recently, the international community recognized the need for access to, and the safe use of, technology through the Sustainable Development Goals – notably targets 9.c and 17.6.
Effective Partnerships
Child Helpline International Foundation (CHI) is a global network of 183 members across 142 countries (December 2015) that works to protect these vulnerable members of society. Collectively, they receive over 14 million interactions from children and young people a year.
ITU and CHI will work together at a global and regional label to identify existing technological solutions to protect children online. The partnership will also promote innovative application to make it easier for children to communicate with child online protection helplines.
Today, ITU and CHI launched the "Partnering to Protect Children and Youth" Campaign to recognize the efforts of ITU Members that are actively mobilizing their commitment towards achieving a safer and secure online environment for children. It will showcase ITU Member's role in strengthening in-country helplines, foster collaboration and focus on issues including online threats against children. Successful examples will be shown at Telecom World 2016 in Bangkok, Thailand.
