Re: [Meditation Society of America] Re: Meditation Advice

I apologize for making nationally categorical references, but I do believe that the point here is that there is a mistaken interpretation of certain teachings as they are being manifested in America. I think you should consider that before becoming angry, for you anger has only to harm you and anyone else in the wake of that ire.Please accept my apology for these references, but they were not loaded with an intention to offend, but to help understand mistaken views.Naturally, there are many cultural and subcultural dilemmas that arise and are unique to location and regional influences. Rather than pointing out the problems as they arise on, for example, the midwestern north american land region, or to say that dialogue that has been entertained on the south Irish shore line would not be as understandable as the statements that I have chosen to employ.If your perception is that my writings have been intolerant and discompassionate, they are but your perceptions, I do not own them.Best of luck with the anger.Sonam TseringAs long as space remains, as long as living beings remain, until then - may I too remain to dispel the sufferings of the world. - Master Shantideva

- The following is an excerpt from Master Kamalashila's Bhavanakrama, translated by Geshe Michael Roach and Christy McNally. At the end of this post there is a meditation that will help to develop this great quality. The words in black are taken from this translation as well as the meditation at the end. The words in blue are my own, and I take full responsibility for any mistakes throughout:I pay homage to Manjushri, who appears to me as a boy.I shall now describe in brief the steps we take to meditate starting with the first of them - practices found in the sutra Collection of the Greater Way.To get to the point, if you want to quickly reach an omniscient state of being, you must put your efforts into these three areas: compassion, the Wish (bodhicitta), and practice.Once we reach the conclusion that the underlying cause of all the great qualities of a Buddha is compassion alone, we should devote ourselves from the very outset to that same goal: for it was stated in the exalted sutra, Perfect Summary of the Dharma:And then the Realized One, the Lord of Power named Loving Eyes, spoke thesewords to the Conqueror: "O Conqueror, bodhisattvas should not train themselves in many qualities. O Conqueror, if bodhisattvas perfectly realize and hold well a single quality, all the qualities of a Buddha will rest in the palm of their hand. And what is that single quality? It is great compassion."O Conqueror, because they have great compassion, all the qualities of a Buddha are in the palm of their hand. For instance, Conqueror, whenever the precious wheel of a wheel emperor is in a certain place, all of his armed forces are also there. And like that, Conqueror, wherever there is great compassion of a bodhisattva, all the qualities of a Buddha are in that same place.For instance, Conqueror, if someone is alive, then their other faculties will arise. And in this same way, Conqueror, if someone has great compassion, the other qualities of a bodhisattva will arise."And it has been explained in depth in the exhaulted sutra, The Explanation of the One Called Neverending Wisdom, with statements like the following:And furthermore, Venerable Sharadvatiputra, the great compassion of bodhisattvas never ends. Why is that the case? Because it always comes first! Venerable Sharadvatiputra, it is like this. Just as being alive is a prerequisite for our breath to flow in and out, in the same way the great compassion of a bodhisattva is a prerequisite for us to master the Mahayana.This same idea often occurs in the exhaulted sutra, The Mountain of Gaya, where for instance it states:"O Manjushri, at what point do the activities of a bodhisattva start? And where do they start?"Manjushri replied, "O child of the gods, the activities of a bodhisattva start with great compassion. And they start in the arena of living beings."Shaken by such great compassion, bodhisattvas no longer look after themselves. Instead, they work for years on very challenging and exhausting endeavors, collecting pure karma - all because they wish to truly be of help to others.As it is stated in the exalted sutra, Inciting the Power of Faith:When there is no form of pain that you would hesitate to take on, and no kind of pleasure that you would hesitate to give up in order to bring every living being to their ultimate evolution, that is the point when you have great compassion.{My words}To what do we develop great compassion? What is "all sentient beings?" We start with those beings in our life with whom we have contact. We develop great compassion for those we love, to those whom we are indifferent, and finally to those whom we feel discomfort or negativities. And we do this because the laws of karma have brought us to meet with them.The sentient beings that you see, in fact all phenomena, are simply expressions of the Dharmakaya. When you perform an act of karma toward a being, you are doing this towards the Dharmakaya. The absence of all obscurations is clear, blissful Dharmakaya wisdom. Therefore, the mechanism of the Buddhas in their infinitely blissful realms is the same mechanism as the thing we call "karma", though at the level of a Buddha we no longer call it karma. A Buddha is able to manifest his/her reality as bliss because their mind IS Dharmakaya. Therefore, the actions we take against sentient kind results in a further separation with, or a stronger connection to Dharmakaya.Since thought is the smallest and most subtle function of the mind, the grasping at the idea of a disparity between us and phenomena manifests the various appearances with which we interract. In fact, Kabbalah, Tantric Buddhism and many other forms of spiritual practice are aware of this. One does not have to be Buddhist to know the power that mind has over even matter, not just that of the body.Let's say that there is someone in your life that is bringing you difficulty. Somewhere in your past you did something that creates that person, or the bond to see that person bringing you difficulty. This is a law of perception. You said something with impatience to someone in the past, and the mind is now manifesting exactly what you "asked the Dharmakaya". It now brings blindly the appearances you have created.When you create more compassion, you are actually creating more union with the Dharmakaya. Seeing that all things are empty, that they are manifestations or appearances that come and go in the blink of an eye, knowing that you are who you are because of all the little and big things that you have done, said or thought, relieves some of the grasping at an artificial sense of self that does not exist the way you think it does. You are, as well, an expression of that Dharmakaya. You are manifesting in the way you see yourself because of karma. Karma and emptiness are intimately connected. Because things are empty of any self nature of their own, they are susceptible to the changing and flowing of the energy that you impart to them...the appearances of them.Compassion towards all beings is more than just compassion for yourself in the future; it is the compassion toward the Dharmakaya. And from that comes harmony, bliss and wisdom. Perfection of this compassion comes when you understand that you are an expression of this Dharmakaya, that your action is an expression of this Dharmakaya, and that to which you direct your actions (sentient beings) are also expressions of the Dharmakaya...they are a stream of flowing expressions, developed as they increasingly accumulate more similar energy, only to render their result when THEY are ready, not you. You are forced to then experience everything in life the way you do because of this process, an ignorance to the way this works.Some say, I can choose to see this computer screen however I want to. It's empty, so I can just as well see it as a shoe. This is false. You will never confuse the computer for a shoe. When one says, "Hand me my shoes, please," you never unplug the computer from the wall and smile as you hand them what you have CHOSEN to see as shoe. It is still a computer, and your mind is FORCED to organize the data into that image because of karma. If you disagree, next time you walk out into the street, wait for a semi truck to come by and jump in front of it and yell "It's really whipped cream! It's really whipped cream!" You will, I assure you, not be 'topped' by some light and creamy dessert topping. You'll be smashed.As we live our lives, we do many things that distance ourselves from this Dharmakaya wisdom. We create further expressions that are later projected at us again from our ignorant understanding of the world and the way it works. By understanding that these appearances are simply what you have placed ignorantly before the Dharmakaya mind, the subtle-most consciousness, you assure that they will come back on you. When you recognize that all things flow from this beautiful source, the mind of all the Buddhas (and your own future mind as the Buddha you will eventually become), when you understand that all action is Dharmakaya action, it is all a part of this deep and powerful projector, then delusions begin to fade and happiness grows and grows.Meditations:Investigating CompassionTake a comfortable position and focus on the breath single-pointedly for the benefit of others.Review the above instructions on developing compassion.We need to open our hearts to others to develop single-pointed concentration.Do an analytical meditation on the following:Is it true that doing it for others would increase your ability to meditateIs it true that having the responsibility for all others would increase your ability meditate?Is it true that consideration for others would increase your ability to meditate?Is it true that loving others would increase your ability to meditate?As long as space remains, as long as living beings remain, until then - may I too remain to dispel the sufferings of the world. - Master Shantideva

Charming Riad with a great location - when we arrived at the Riad the staff welcomed us very warmly. And showed us our rooms. They also gave recommendations on what to see and where to eat. The romms are have a great individual maroccan style design. after a day in the souks the riad is a haven of tranquility. From the rooftop terrace you can see the storks at the badi palace. I also recommend to order once or twice Maroccan food in the Riad, the servings are huge and delicious. Overall a great place in Marrakech

Hello Everyone,
I am new here and starting to learn Hub pages, so I saw this forum and decided to ask for some advice on a sticky situation. I can't really give out names since I do have to respect everyone's privacy . So to start off I have an Uncle who is in the music industry so I am on Personal Assistant on the side to his girlfriend. So I have had the opportunity to work with and meet some very big names in the entertainment field.
One of my really close friends started talking to one of our local Meteorologists on Face book and got along with him really well, and he was able to be a great friend to him and offer him some really good advice. The Meteorologist basically had some other dreams besides the weather and my friend told him that I knew another really big name in the entertainment industry and that he should talk to me. So we had a local event which I had gone to and got a chance to speak to the Meteorologist and instantly he was very nice, easy to speak with. So after sometime I had his permission to talk to my entertainment friend which I did and I had the opportunity to have lunch and find out more of the Meterologist's ideas. So I had gotten to go to Los Angeles for my b-day which this is where things fell apart. While my entertainment friend's girlfriend was showing me the sites of LA, my entertainment friend decided to use my laptop and email the Meteorologist and find out all his dreams and got kind of nosy with him. So basically the day I was getting ready to fly back home the Meteorologist emailed me saying he knew I was emailing him and just totally flipped out saying he would have the news station find out info and stuff and it threw me a total curve ball. Thing is my entertainment friend felt it was no big deal for him to be emailing on my laptop, but he has not made one attempt to set the record straight with the Meteorologist and he is angry with me and thinks I played games with him?
Now when I came back home I talked to my friend who was the one to start talking to the Meteorologist and he had messaged him trying to set the record straight which obviously did not happen and for awhile they stopped talking, now they have been back to talking on Face book but the Meteorologist is still angry with me. Normally I am the kind of person to just move on, but to get accused of doing something I haven't to me is unfair and this is a person I highly respect. Anyone have any advice as to how to handle this issue. Part of me wants to just face this head on and have my say but then again these people are in the media on a daily basis? Any advice would be much appreciated. I feel stupid for posting this, because it almost feels like a high school issue.
Thank you
I don't know how much help I could be, but I sure understand how you feel. Being accused of something I didn't do pi**es me off more than anything. I just get instantly mad.
I would apologize to the meteorologist...but not for what you said or emailed to him, but for breaching confidentiality so to speak by letting your nosy friend have access to your laptop. That is really your only "sin" in this whole matter.
I would also ask him for an apology. Just say, "I've apologized, now its your turn to say you are sorry for thinking bad things about me." You are giving him an opportunity to redeem himself a little (he's probably acting weird because he is embarrassed by his own behavior). If he apologizes, you can start building your friendship again, if not, tell him maybe you can meet up again and be friends when he has matured a little.
Hope this helps...?
That helps me out a lot more than you realize. Thank you so much! I feel like such a dork for even trusting my LA friend with the Laptop, but I trusted in him, he should have known better being in the entertainment industry.
I apologize to say this, but "How old are you?". What school did you pass through that allowed you to use "so" at the beginning of a sentence? Not to be condemning, to say the least, but you need to move on, or elsewhere with this story. Your photo does not match the question you are presenting to something my 8 year old daughter would question years ago.......
If someone is angry at you for something you didn't do then just forget about him. He's not worth your time. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but it's easier to just forget about him, not worth it.
Come to think of it, all the meterologists and anchormen I've ever met have been extremely shallow men. I've met a lot of them to base that off of.

Before They Were Famous(And Their Not So Famous Quotes!)
Because we love movies so much, in honor of celebrating the filmmakers and stars that make it all possible we wanted to create a showcase of their work in small indie films, or even big films, before they hit it big time. We're all curious to know what these now well-known people appeared in before they were famous.
It's all listed here with the name of the movie and the famous person attached to it and some sample quotes from the movie.
This is really for those die-hard fans that want that little bit extra!

Mio in the Land of Faraway (1987) – Christian Bale
Although Spielberg's Empire of the Sun is the movie everyone will remember as Christian Bale's first role of significance it was actually this fantasy film which marked Bale's first appearance in a feature film which is based on the Swedish novel "Mio, My Son" by Astrid Lindgren. The story is about a boy named Mio (Nick Pickard) who is transferred from his dull life with his adoptive parents to an otherworldly fantasy realm where his real father is the king and there is an evil Knight Kato (Christopher Lee) who enslaves the children of this magical kingdom. The story then follows Mio as he sets out on a quest, together with his new friend Jum-Jum (Christian Bale), to destroy the evil Knight Kato and free the land from his oppression. The cast also includes Timothy Bottoms and Susannah York.
Mio: I'm frightened, Jum-Jum. Why me?
Jum-Jum: Only a male child of royal blood can fight the evil knight. Only a king's son.
Mio: It felt like we were flying! I didn't know that Miramis could do that!
Jum-Jum: You don't know all that much, Mio.
Jum-Jum: Use the cape! It will make you invisible to the guards, you can sneak by seven times seven guards and gates and get out of here!
Mio: But what about you?
Jum-Jum: I'm staying here. There is only one cape.
Mio: And only one friend. If we are to die, we shall die together.
Mio: I am going alone.
Jum-Jum: No, you're not. The son of a king riding into the woods on a white horse with an only friend. That's already been decided for thousands of years. That cannot be changed.
Wet Hot American Summer (2001) – Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper's film debut was in this satirical comedy cult hit which is set at a fictional Jewish summer camp in 1981 before closing for the summer and centers on a group of counselors who have one last chance to have a romantic encounter with another person at the camp. Bradley played Ben, a repressed but dapper young man who is the summer camp's talent show producer along with Susie (Amy Poehler), but Cooper's character is likely most remembered for the best makeout scene with co-star Michael Ian Black. The ensemble cast includes Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Marguerite Moreau, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Christopher Meloni, Elizabeth Banks, Zak Orth and A.D. Miles.
[Ben and Susie enter the counselors dinner hall]
Susie: Hey, you guys. Everybody focus up, okay. All eyes here.
[she points to herself, Ben points to the group and then at Susie]
Susie: I would like to announce that Ben and I are planning to produce a musical number from Godsville for the talent show tonight.
[Ben loudly clears his throat]
Susie: Oh, I'm sorry. Ben is producing, I'm directing slash choreography.
Ben: And I'm only speaking from personal experience, but if you can't carry a tune, don't come into the audition environment and waste our time. We're serious, okay?
Susie: Okay, and bring a lot of movement clothes, AKA jazz shoes, dance belts, lycras, et al. And seriously FYI, you guys, this is not an excuse to get out of your regular activities. This is an excuse to do some good musical theater. So be prepared, be enthusiastic, and leave your bullshit attitude and baggage at the door, cause we don't need it!
Susie: You guys, I'm really going to miss this place.
Coop: Me too.
Ben: Hey, let's all promise that in ten years from today, we'll meet again, and we'll see what kind of people we've blossomed into.
Susie: Yeah!
Ben: What time do you wanna meet?
J.J.: You mean ten years from now?
Ben: Yeah.
Coop: Let's meet in the morning so we can make a day of it.
Susie: Okay, so what is it? Is it like nine or nine-thirty?
Coop: Well, let's say nine, that way we can be here by nine-thirty.
McKinley: Well, no, why don't we say nine-thirty, and then make it your beeswax to be here at nine-thirty? I mean, were all gonna be in our late twenties by then. I just don't see any reason why we can't be places on time.
Gary: Okay, then, it's settled. Nine-thirty it is. All agreed?
Everyone: Agreed.
McKinley: Great, because I have something at eleven.
Gary: You just have like a trapper-keeper full of appointments, right?
McKinley: No, I just have something at eleven, and I can't change it, because I already moved it twice.
Love Potion No. 9 (1992) – Sandra Bullock
Romantic comedy which was Sandra Bullock's first major film role following a lonely biochemist Paul Matthews (Tate Donovan) with a crush on his unavailable co-worker, biologist Diane Farrow (Sandra Bullock). His friends persuade him to visit a gypsy, Madame Ruth (Anne Bancroft), who after reading his palm and seeing no romance in his life decides to give him "Love Potion No. 8", an elixir which forces anyone of the opposite sex to instantly fall in love with him. So in the name of science Paul shares the potion with Diane, but soon things start to get out of hand. The cast also includes Dale Midkiff, Dylan Baker and Adrian Paul.
Enrico Pazzoli: Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?
Diane Farrow: No. No one in their right mind.
Diane Farrow: You know, all my life, I've felt ugly, and now I have the worlds most desirable man telling me that I am beautiful. I have the Prince of England at home pining for me. I mean, Paul, this is like a dream come true. I could be a princess.
Diane Farrow: There was this experiment where an electrode was planted in the pleasure center of a monkey's brain. When the monkey hit a button, it sent a signal to the electrode, in effect, exciting the monkey sexually.
Woman at luncheon: You're kidding.
Diane Farrow: No. Can you guess what happened?
Woman at luncheon: Was it a male monkey?
Diane Farrow: Yes.
Woman at luncheon: He slammed the button till he died.
Diane Farrow: Oh, so you know this experiment?
Woman at luncheon: I know men, honey.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – Johnny Depp
Depp's feature film debut was co-staring as Glen, the main heroine's boyfriend. Wes Craven's classic horror revolves around a group of teenagers Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp), Tina Gray (Amanda Wyss), Rod Lane (Jsu Garcia) and Glen Lantz (Johnny Depp), who are stalked, tormented and killed in their dreams by a clawed killer named Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). The teenagers are unaware of the cause of this strange phenomenon, but their parents hold a dark secret from long ago. Depp doesn't get to do much except exit the movie in the most memorable way!
[as Glen tries to sleep on the couch the sound of Tina and Rod having sex is keeping him up]
Glen Lantz: Morality sucks.
Glen Lantz: I'm going to punch out your ugly lights, whoever you are!
Glen Lantz: Oh, man. Midnight. Baseball bats and boogeymen. Beautiful.
Glen Lantz: Miss Nude America is going to be on tonight.
Mrs. Lantz: How can you hear what she's going to say?
Glen Lantz: Who cares what she says?
[she sees Glen standing outside her window]
Nancy Thompson: Sometimes I wish you didn't live right across the street.
[Glen holds up one of his muddy feet to her]
Glen Lantz: Will you shut up and let me in? Did you ever stand on a rose trellis in your bare feet?
[referring to the Balinese way of dreaming]
Nancy Thompson: But what if they meet a monster in their dreams, then what?
Glen Lantz: They turn their back on it. Take away its energy and it disappears.
Nancy Thompson: But what happens if they don't do that?
Glen Lantz: Well I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens.
Nancy Thompson: Great.
Nancy Thompson: I grab the guy in my dream. You see me struggling so you wake me up. We both come out, you whack the fucker and we got him.
Glen Lantz: Are you crazy, hit him with what?
Nancy Thompson: You're the jock. You have a baseball bat or something.
[after she wakes up from dreaming about Freddy and Glen failed to wake her up]
Nancy Thompson: Glen, you bastard!
Glen Lantz: What did I do?
Nancy Thompson: I just asked you to do one thing, to stay awake and watch me and to wake me up if it looked like I was having a bad dream, and what did you do, you shit?
[she slaps him on the knee]
Nancy Thompson: You fell asleep!
[referring to the crime scene in Glen's room]
Cop #3: What the hell did that, Lieutenant?
Lt. Donald Thompson: I don't know. What's the coroner got to say?
Cop #3: He's been in the John puking since he saw it.
The Mask (1994) – Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz's first movie role for which she amazingly auditioned 12 times for and only landed the role 7 days before shooting began! This fantasy comedy which is based on a series of comic books published by Dark Horse Comics, centers on nice guy bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) who after having one of the worst days of his life, finds the mask of Loki, the Norse night god of mischief. When he puts it on, he becomes his inner self: a cartoony romantic wild man, uninhibited by anything, including physical reality. The rubber-faced Mask possesses the courage to do the wild, fun things that Stanley fears, including romancing Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz). But things get complicated for Stanley when Tina's gangster boyfriend, Dorian Tyrel (Peter Greene) comes across The Mask and wants to destroy Stanley and use the mask's powers for evil.
[to Tina]
The Mask: Kiss me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant. I will spread your pate. I will dip my ladle in your vichyssoise.
[Tina kicks him and runs away]
The Mask: She is so coy… I love it!
[referring to the mask]
Stanley Ipkiss: It's like it brings your innermost desires to life. If deep down you're a little repressed, and a hopeless romantic, you become some kind of love-crazy wild man.
Tina Carlyle: And if you're someone like Dorian?
Stanley Ipkiss: Then we're all in big trouble.
[referring to Dorian who now has the mask]
Tina Carlyle: He's going to the charity ball tonight. He's gonna do something terrible.
Stanley Ipkiss: Like what, the Lambada?
Tina Carlyle: Thanks.
Stanley Ipkiss: For what?
Tina Carlyle: Lots of things. Sharing the sunset with me. For being the only guy whose ever treated me like a person and not some sort of party favor. For being any kind of romantic. Even a hopeless one.
Stanley Ipkiss: You're welcome.
Tina Carlyle: You know that night at the club? I knew I'd found someone special.
[rolling his eyes]
Stanley Ipkiss: The Mask.
Tina Carlyle: No, it was the guy inside the mask. It was you all along. You, Stanley Ip…kiss.
[as they are about to kiss a guard interrupts them]
Critters 3 (1991) – Leonardo DiCaprio
DiCaprio's big screen debut is in this third installment of tongue-in-cheek horror series which actually never made it to the theaters! The story follows a family who unknowingly pick up one of the Crites eggs laid under the family's car when they stop at a rest stop, although they are warned by Charlie (Don Opper), the veteran of the creatures earlier attacks. Once widower Clifford (John Calvin) and his kids Annie (Annie Brooks) and Johnny (Christian and Joseph Cousins) return home to their apartment building, the critter begins to reproduce, and the tenement becomes overrun with fast-multiplying beasties. DiCaprio plays Josh the stepson of the corrupt landlord and love interest of Annie.
Annie: Hey, you! Hands off! Some kind of a pervert or something?
[to her little brother, Johnny]
Annie: John, you know better than that, you don't even know this guy.
Josh: Hey, hey, wait a minute! I don't know you either, okay? He almost went over the edge. There could be badgers or something down there.
Mr. Briggs: You're not a cry baby, are you, sport? Huh?
Josh: I hate you! I wish you were dead!
Josh: Pretty awful, huh?
Annie: Yeah.
Josh: I just can't believe he's dead.
Annie: Josh, my mom died, not like your dad, but she died.
Josh: I bet you didn't wish for your mom to die. I just wish we could go back to this morning.
Annie: We rally have to go now.
Josh: Give my regards to Mars.
Charlie: Don't be so quick. You're not as smart as you think you are.
Annie: Hi.
Josh: Hi.
Annie: How are you?
Josh: I'm fine. So, uh…how about getting together sometime and doing something normal?
Annie: Normal like a movie?
Josh: Yeah.

Manny & Lo (1996) – Scarlett Johansson
This is Scarlett Johansson's first major lead role in a film but because this was a limited release it is probably more widely noted that The Horse Whisperer was her first leading role of significance. The film follows two sisters, 11 year-old Amanda, nicknamed Manny (Scarlett Johansson) and 16 year-old Laurel, nicknamed Lo (Aleksa Palladino), as they run away from several foster homes, sleeping wherever they can. But when Lo becomes pregnant, in an act of desperation the two decide to kidnap Elaine, (Mary Kay Place), a clerk at a baby supply store, but soon they discover that Elaine needs them just as much as they need her.
Manny: [voice over] The day our mother died Lo hid the station wagon behind the garbage dump, just in case. That summer she ran away from her foster family, and so called kidnapped me from mine. She said it was up to her to save me from low quality families like the Gordons. I didn't think they were that bad, except for making me sleep in the garage. But I'd rather be with Lo any day. She's my sister, and she's good people.
Manny: [voice over] Lo used to say there were people who were born the family type and people who weren't, and there's no use feeling bad about it if you weren't. She said that since our mother was never the mother type, that just meant me and her were the naturally independent type, with a special knack for traveling. That's why she planned on becoming a stewardess. Luckily she had a natural gift for turbulence.
Manny: [voice over] We just stuck to Lo's number one rule: keep moving and you won't get nailed.
Manny: [voice over] Did you ever notice how certain people won't trust somebody unless that somebody was wearing a chain on their ankles?
Manny: You don't have a family, do you, Elaine?
Elaine: I'm afraid I was not terribly unified as younger person.
Elaine: While I cannot condone this kidnapping, I do think you're a very fine young lady.
Manny: Really? Thanks.
Manny: [voice over] It really happened things like that, strange amusing things.

[to Tosh]
Patti Warner: Remember that.
Alex Kovac: Where are you from, honey?
Tosh: Las Vegas, Nevada.
Alex Kovac: Las Vegas, Nevada! You know where I'm from, Jerry and me? We're from New York City.
[they hear an ambulance siren as it goes by]
Alex Kovac: You that ambulance siren? They have a lot of sirens like that in New York City. Noise all the time. That's why they have all the tall buildings in New York City.
Tosh: My daddy goes there all the time.
Alex Kovac: Daddy goes there, huh? You're daddy's a…he's a nice man.
Tosh: You are too.

Lawrence plays Agnes, a tough as nails, small town teenage girl in the 70's who is raising her two younger sisters, Bee (Sophi Bairley), and Cammie (Chloë Grace Moretz), in their mother's (Selma Blair ) whorehouse. The story revolves around one day particular day which is marked by both tragedy and triumph.
Agnes: [voice over] I race the sun home in the morning, and the moon up at night. There's just today, and then there's tonight. Anything can happen, then anything does. You get through it.
[referring to the 'John' at her mother's house who's looking for his clothes]
Agnes: [voice over] I ain't seen this one before. He probably won't kill me. It ain't happened yet. But, it's like when people tell you that their dog doesn't bite. How do they know? Oh, and nobody's coming to save my ass. It took me a minute to get that. The man in the white hat, the man on the white horse…yeah, he ain't coming.
Agnes: [voice over] I remember when I was ten somebody gave me a diary for a present, and I felt like it was too late, so I didn't write in it. Too much had already happened. So, it wouldn't be the whole story. I feel that way again, and I'm fourteen, but nobody'd believe it. Ain't nobody to tell. A girl falls in the city, but nobody sees it. Did it happen?
Agnes: Mom, he raped me, and he beat you and he sells you! And now he wants to sell me too!
Agnes: [voice over] I left my mother and the man I thought loved me in that house. I left my mother and my rapist in that house. I left my mother and my mother's pimp in that house. Look at all the people it takes to make up a person. Ain't that nothin'?
Dazed and Confused (1993) – Matthew McConaughey
Comedy drama written and directed by Richard Linklater featuring a large ensemble cast some of whom have since become famous actors including Matthew McConaughey in his first film role. The story follows various groups of teenagers during the last day of school in the summer of 1976 where everyone is trying to get stoned, drunk, or laid, even the football players that signed a pledge not to. McConaughey plays Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey), a post-grad who still loves high school girls. The cast includes Jason London, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Nicky Katt, Rory Cochrane, Michelle Burke and Shawn Pickford.
McConaughey has stated that his "alright, alright, alright" line which he included in his speech for winning best at the 2014 Golden Globes and Oscars actuall originated from this movie as it was his first line ever spoken on camera in the first scene of his entire film career. The line was improvised by McConaughey and it was taken from Jim Morrison during a performance on his The Door Live album. The infectious line was also apparently repeated during production by the entire crew and has been one of McConaughey's trademark slogans.
Wooderson: All right, all right, all right.
Wooderson: That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
Wooderson: Man, it's the same bullshit they tried to pull in my day, you know? But it ain't that piece of paper, there's some other choice they're gonna try and make for you. You gotta do what Randall Pink Floyd wants to do, man. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.
Wooderson: Say, man, you got a joint?
Mitch: No, not on me, man.
Wooderson: It'd be a lot cooler if you did.
Wooderson: Cynthia, man? I like it, man.
Pink: Red's a good color for you.
Wooderson: My favorite color.
Cutting Class (1989) – Brad Pitt
Slasher movie which was Brad Pitt's first major film role, the story revolves around the return of a problem teen Brian Woods (Donovan Leitch) to high school after his release from an institution where he was admitted for the suspicious death of his father.

Then horrible murders start happening with the main suspects being Dwight and Brian. The cast also includes Martin Mull.
Dwight Ingalls: You know, Your father's a lot bigger than I am. Of course, I'm bigger where it really counts!
Shultz: I'm the custodian of your fucking lives!
[to Paula]
Dwight Ingalls: That guy is fried.
[referring to Brian]
Dwight Ingalls: He got shocked everyday he was in the hospital. Every single day! How could they do that to him?
[as he's out of the school]
Dwight Ingalls: Shultz! I need to get my math book! You know, a book?
Shultz: The thing with pages?
Dwight Ingalls: Yeah!
Shultz: Never saw one. School is closed!
Carbon Copy (1981) – Denzel Washington
This is Washington's first feature film role in a comedy which follows a successful businessman named Walter Whitney (George Segal) who learns out-of-the-blue that he has a black son, Roger Porter (Denzel Washington), from a past relationship. When Walter finally confesses to his wife Vivian (Susan Saint James), his world is turned upside down, he loses his job, his credit cards are revoked, and Vivian throws him out of the house. Without the white man's trappings, he is forced to accept the help of downtrodden minorities. When he is compelled to manual labor, Walter comes to understand the troubles his son goes through. The cast also includes Jack Warden, Dick Martin, Paul Winfield Macon McCalman and Vicky Dawson.
A bit of a woeful comedy but worth a look just to see Washington in his first ever role!
Walter Whitney: Stop following me.
Roger Porter: Isn't a son supposed to follow in his dad's footsteps?
Roger Porter: You can teach me how to build a model airplane, I'll show you how to pick a lock. You take me to a Chamber of Commerce meeting, I'll take you to a Third World Liberation meeting.
Walter Whitney: Why are you doing this to me, God?
Vivian Whitney: God will never forgive you for having a black child.
Walter Whitney: How do you know, Vivian? Maybe he'll be pleased, maybe God is black!
Reverend Hayworth: God is white. It's simple logic. His son is white.
Walter Whitney: That's not proof. I'm white. My son is black.
Roger Porter: Feel my head for good luck.
Walter Whitney: I don't believe in superstitious myths.
Roger Porter: Oh, there's no myth about black people changing your luck. Well you only met me yesterday and already your luck has changed.
[to Roger]
Walter Whitney: I have to be the father of the only black kid who can't play basketball.
[to Walter]
Roger Porter: Now, it wasn't easy for me to get you in here, Mr Charley. I mean, they weren't too happy about having a white person in the building. You're here on a trial basis.
Walter Whitney: I'm Jewish, my son is black and my lawyer smokes pot. Don't tell me I'm not in trouble.
Victor Bard: Hey, it makes me feel better, and does not affect my judgment. I delivered the valedictorian speech at Harvard…completely stoned.
Mary Ann: Have you ever been arrested?
Walter Whitney: That's an offensive question, Mary Ann.
Roger Porter: Yes, little sister, I've been busted by the pigs.
[after Roger's told him he's bought a car]
Walter Whitney: Where is it?
Roger Porter: It's over there.
[Walter turns and looks at the parking lot]
Roger Porter: It's the red one.
Walter Whitney: Should have guessed.
Roger Porter: Cost me fourteen dollars and a record player.
Walter Whitney: You were overcharged! You drove this two thousand miles? You could have been arrested for littering the highway.
[as Roger sings "We Shall Overcome"]
Walter Whitney: Will you stop singing that song?
Roger Porter: Mr. Charley, I got a feeling you better start learning the words.
Walter Whitney: When you're shoveling manure you really fund out which way the wind is blowing.

However, as the radios had originally been swiped by a group of bank robbers they soon find themselves becoming entangled in their mess
Judy: Now do you believe in miracles?
Goose: This wasn't a miracle, it was being in the right place at the right time. Like getting hit by a truck. Now if you could produce a BMX track that would be a miracle.
PJ: Sorry, only one a day. Union Rules.
[to PJ and Goose]
Judy: Well, you know what they say. Two's company, three gets us talked about.

There was something special about the Regency Period in England
A man's warm skin is so much better than cold marble.
Orphaned in Florence, Lucy Raymond takes the only employment she can find, that of a castrato assistant to an art and antiquities dealer. But as she grows into womanhood, her masquerade chafes, for it allows none of the romance she craves.
In her loneliness she often visits the Piazza della Signoria, where she gazes at the magnificent sculptures and dreams impossible dreams. Until one day, when she is overcome by loneliness and the oppressive heat, she faints at the feet of an enormous sculpture, only to wake in the arms of its living embodiment.
Allowing herself to be seduced is the last thing Lucy should do. But Vido is warm and vital and the living image of David, so how can she resist?
Her only inheritance is a Roman ruin. His only passion is antiquities...
Until now.
The study of antiquities is no fit activity for a lady, according to Amaryllis Raven's guardians, the aunt and uncle who took her in after her father's death. Yet her Aunt Sessiletyn makes no effort to introduce her to the ton. Heir to a marquessate, Chaunce Boothsby would rather dig for buried Roman ruins than play a man-about-town. They might never have met, but for a duck-chasing dog.
Before long she begins to dream impossible dreams.
But Aunt Sessiletyn sees Chaunce as a perfect match for her beautiful daughter, and attempts to convince Amaryllis that his only interest in her is her father's only legacy, the secret location of his antiquities site. Only a bold move will allow love to triumph, and Chaunce must make it soon.
A marriage of convenience?
How dreadfully inconvenient...
"...a pure delight. True, there are serious moments, especially concerning what the major suffers through, and Lisanor's natural worries over her responsibilities, but the interaction between them is fun. Other characters add much interest: Carleton, the butler; Nettles, the major's loyal sergeant turned gentleman's man; the Dowager Lady Guillemont, and Lisanor's sweet younger sister, to name a few. Some conflict is added by an uncle and cousin...what I liked best about A PITIFUL REMNANT—besides the hero and heroine. There is never a slow spot or any place where one would be tempted to skip ahead. Every word has value."—Jane Bowers, Romance Reviews Today
No one ever asked Miss Chastity Wayman what sort of life she wanted, but a true artist sees beyond a woman's skin, into her heart..."...a thought provoking piece in which one girl/woman's life is altered."~~Jane Bowers, Romance Reviews Today

Made by King, Farm Heroes is another freemium game that requires you to buy resources like gold bars. The game has great graphics and the fruits and vegetables are pretty cute, but we hate these micro-transactions.
Lives are limited, and if you finish them all you will have to wait or buy them if you want to play more levels. That's one bad aspect. The other one is that you are forced to used gold in order to unlock gates. You will start with 50 free gold, and next you will have to buy gold if you want more. You will also need magic beans in order to buy things like shovels, which will help you eliminate any piece from the table. Also, you will have unlimited moves just by pressing on a button! While we were playing this game we had only one fruit to eliminate from the board, and the game didn't gave us the possibility to complete the level because we haven't received the right items which had to be removed. That has driven as mad and made us to create the Farm Heroes Saga g4mehacks Hack. It will make this game fair and it will also help you in boss fights and the usual levels.

Sussex Police 'tied down disabled girl with leg straps and locked her in cell overnight'
A DISABLED girl was tied down with leg straps, handcuffs and a mesh anti-spit hood while she was detained for 60 hours without a responsible adult, it has emerged.
The allegations of misconduct against staff in Sussex Police appeared in a damning report from the police watchdog.
The force has begun trending on Twitter as the British public condemned the force for their treatment of the 11-year-old.
In the report it emerged that the little girl – known only as Child H – was arrested three times and detained under the Mental Health Act once between February 2 and March 2 2012.
She was detained using a mesh anti-spit hood, handcuffs and leg straps and twice held overnight in police cells, without a parent, guardian or social worker to support her.
"I cannot understand why others thought it was appropriate to put an 11-year-old girl in handcuffs and leg restraints"Child's mum
The Independent Police Complaints Commissioner said that a number of officers and staff members had a case to answer for misconduct over the incidents.
Two of the officers implicated – a custody sergeant and an inspector – who failed to ensure an appropriate adult was present have retired, according to the report.
Her disability had not been diagnosed at the time of the police contact – but her mother had made clear to officers that she believed she had an autism spectrum disorder.
Sussex Police took "management action" against six custody sergeants found to have failed to ensure an appropriate adult was present.
It disciplined another custody sergeant found to have failed to ensure Child H was dealt with as effectively as possible.

Another two police constables who restrained the girl in handcuffs were also disciplined.
But the watchdog found all nine officers involved had a case to answer for misconduct.
No further action was taken against several other members of staff, including a former front desk enquiry officer who the IPCC believed had failed to treat Child H's mother according to her needs and a call handler for failing to log sufficient information about the girl's condition.
Another police constable who – according to the investigator – also a case to answer for misconduct faced no further action.
The girl's mum said in a statement: "My daughter's contact with the police in 2012 was nothing short of a nightmare for both of us.
"At the time her disability meant that she could behave in very challenging ways, but what she needed was patience, respect and the support of her mother.
"I know that some of the officers were doing their best, but I cannot understand why others thought it was appropriate to put an 11-year-old girl in handcuffs and leg restraints.
"I can't accept that it will ever be appropriate for the police to hood a disabled child, regardless of how they behave.
"I call on Sussex Police to stop doing this to children immediately."
from that news report, it looks like they haven't fired anyone responsible. vile @sussex_police— Lex (@lexcanroar) June 8, 2016
The watchdog recommended "improved training on the use of force on children and adults with mental illness," and "ensuring officers are accountable for their use of force."
IPCC Commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "This was a complex investigation, which found Sussex Police officers failed to respond effectively to the needs of a vulnerable child.
Where were mental health services, or paramedics? Cops are cops not mental health nurses. Unfair.@sussex_police pic.twitter.com/C2opv5myOV— Jonathan Nicholas (@JonathanNichol4) June 8, 2016
"While it is clear Child H had significant behavioural problems arising from her disability, Sussex Police and, indeed other agencies which were – or should have been – involved, did not appear to have the skills and capacity to respond to her effectively. The situation was exacerbated by the lack of understanding of Child H's complex needs."
Sussex Police said: "We have made major improvement in understanding and responding to those with mental illness following IPCC report."

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Travis The Dragon, Jun 4, 2010.
Damn, what a tough loss last night, but it was only game 1.
Damn again. Things are not looking good now. The Cubs need a HUGE miracle.
We will see November baseball!!
If the Cubs and White Sox played each other, who would fans root for? Or wouldn't they care who won?
Well I'm a Cubs fan, so there's no question at all who I would root for. Any city that has two teams of the same sport within the city generally has a rivalry between those teams. You see it with the Cubs and White Sox, Yankees and Mets, Dodgers and Angels, even N.Y. Jets and Giants, Nets and Nicks, L.A. Lakers and Clippers, etc. It's a one or the other type deal. There are some White Sox fans cheering for the Cubs in the World Series, but make no mistake, most of them would like to see the Cubs lose.
As for a Cubs and White Sox World Series? The answer is simple, Chicago will burn to the ground.
The 2017 Fenway-Cellular War. Chicago burns.
Cubs no contest over the Sox
Fenway-Cellular?" Wrong on both accounts
Doesn't every baseball team play at Fenway? I thought I read that somewhere................
I actually googled the White Sox, so I dunno, where do they play?
They played in US Cellular field this year .. but it is being renamed to Guaranteed Rate Field next year.
That's kind of a terrible name.
Yeah, it is ... Comiskey Park was a good name ..."The Cell" .. not so much, but appropriate for that side of town ... ZING!
Actually I have never been to the "new" park, went to the old one several times
Didn't even know Chicago has two teams.
They only have 1 worth caring about
That was my first thought upon learning about the White Sox. Do they have any fans?
They do .. quite a few. But I think the Cubs really rule the city as far as fan base. For people around my age, a big reason was WGN broadcasting so many games .. and with all the day games they play (and they all used to be day games until the late 1980s), they would be on right when I got home from school. Then the Sox went on cable and you had to pay to watch them and I am sure all but the most die hard Sox fans pretty much said, why pay $100 a season to watch them when I can see the Cubs for free on ch. 9.
Plus Wrigley is just a cool place to see a game. Old Comiskey was a cool park, but it really went down hill towards the end.. add to that, it (and the new park) are not exactly in the greatest area of town.
For the most part, South Side of the city are Sox fans, Cubs fans on the North Side and it is pretty much up for grabs when you get in the suburbs.
Cubs fans and White Sox fans are pretty different.
White Sox fans primarily consist of (1) blue-collar, hard-core baseball nuts who live on the South Side and read the Sun-Times, and (2) people who like wearing black.
Cubs fans primarily are (1) white-collar, casual baseball fans who live on the North Side and read the Tribune, and (2) people who love Wrigley Field.
White Sox fans are openly hostile to the Cubs and and even more hostile toward Cubs fans. They consider themselves superior to Cubs fans, whom they deem to be frat boys and sorority girls who only care about partying at Wrigley and are not "real" baseball fans.
Cubs fans pretty much ignore the Sox entirely, content to party at Wrigley and make something of their lives.
In general, I think @Cornfed Hick nailed it .. though the Sox had a lot of band wagon fans a few years back when they won the WS and the Cubs certainly have a hardcore fan base that will show up win or loose to watch the games.
What do you base your decision on? Why not be fans of both teams since they both represent your state? Or city in the case of Chicago.
Isn't sports about rivalry?
There is an old saying, if anyone over the age of 12 tells you they are both a Cubs and Sox fan, put your wallet in your front pocket.
Separate names with a comma.

* Raises 2010 vehicle sales forecast again to record 650,000
* Resource-rich areas drive demand for autos, heavy equipment
* Eyes coal mine deals, sees future growth in infrastructure
* Shares recoup losses, down 1.9 pct vs index's 2.8 pct drop
(Updates with details, quotes)
By Janeman Latul and Sara Webb
JAKARTA, June 7 (Reuters) - Indonesia's biggest listed firm PT Astra International (ASII.JK) sees 2010 vehicle sales rising to a record 650,000 as low interest rates spur consumer demand, and aims to spend its cash on expansion in mining and roads.
Vehicle sales in the first five months have reached 299,000 units, up 77 percent from a year ago as consumer confidence has turned around from the financial crisis, said Prijono Sugiarto, president director of Indonesia's largest listed conglomerate with heavy equipment, palm oil and infrastructure businesses.
"We will probably hit 650,000 units without any tax implemented whatsoever," Sugiarto told Reuters on Monday in an interview at the firm's sprawling 20-hectare grounds in north Jakarta.
"If we are lucky, we will hit 700,000 but if we're not, at least we've got 650,000."
The 650,000 figure represents a 34 percent increase from 2009, and tops Astra's previous forecast of more than 600,000. Its previous record year was in 2008 when it sold 608,000 units. The higher forecast depended on the government not raising road tax or car registration tax this year, Sugiarto said.
Sugiarto, who navigates Jakarta's traffic jams in a Toyota (7203.T) Lexus hybrid, said the financial crisis had spurred a switch from medium-priced family cars to cheaper models, for which Astra was the country's leader producer.
The first vehicle for most new buyers was still a motorcycle, he said, adding that motorcycle sales would reach 6.7-6.8 million, above last month's forecast of 6.5 million and up 16-17 percent from last year.
Sugiarto said the higher sales would translate into an expected profit rise in 2010 but declined to comment further.
Net profit in 2010 is expected to reach 12.26 trillion rupiah
($1.34 billion), according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S, up 22 percent from 10.04 trillion rupiah in 2009.
Shares of Astra recouped some of their losses after Sugiarto's comments, to trade 1.9 percent lower at 44,100 rupiah by 0820 GMT, outperforming the broader Indonesia stock market's .JKSE 2.8 percent drop as global investors fled risky assets.
Vehicle sales are a widely followed barometer for the state of consumer demand in Southeast Asia's biggest economy. Consumption makes up about two-thirds of the roughly $515 billion economy, which proved resilient to the financial crisis. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Indonesia stands to attract more investment in future from automakers, he said, given that political stability has improved after President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's re-election last year, in contrast to the increased political risk in regional auto manufacturing hub Thailand.
"I keep telling my sales people that the right time to overcome Thai sales is this year," said Sugiarto, 49, a former sales manager at Mercedes-Benz (DAIGn.DE) who trained as a mechanical engineer in Germany.
Incomes are rising partly thanks to a commodity boom, particularly on the resource-rich islands of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi.
Sumatra's share of sales has increased to 20 percent from 15 percent three to four years ago, while Java and Bali now account for only 50-60 percent, down 5-7 percentage points.
"It's probably also as a result of regional autonomy because they have now more money. It's a positive trend for us," he said.
Astra, controlled by Singapore's Jardine Cycle & Carriage Ltd (JCYC.SI), has a stock market value of $19.8 billion.
Its heavy engineering unit, United Tractors (UNTR.JK), aims to expand by acquiring three coal mines with total reserves of 100 million tonnes in the next year, using up to 5 trillion rupiah earmarked for capital expenditure, Sugiarto said.
Its palm oil unit, PT Astra Agro Lestari (AALI.JK), expects to increase its landbank by less than 10,000 hectares this year, and keep crude palm oil production roughly steady compared with last year's 1.08 million tonnes, Sugiarto said.
He said expansion in both palm oil and coal mining could be restricted by Indonesia's recently announced two-year moratorium on the clearing of natural forests. [nSGE65209C]
But he said future growth for the group could come from expanding in infrastructure and toll roads once the government resolves land clearance issues, sectors also attracting interest from private equity firms. [nJAK239568]
Astra shares have risen around 25 percent this year, beating the overall index, which is up 8 percent. Over a 12-month period, Astra shares are up 80 percent while the index is up 32 percent.

Description: This female spectacled bear has decided it was time for a short break from whatever she was doing, and what better way to spend it than allowing herself to become the muse of a talented photographer? She has adopted a rather detached poise, with her mouth barely open and her paws casually set one on top of the other. This is a good reminder to slow down in life and enjoy the scenery.

What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks disappearing?–it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies. -Jack Kerouac, On the Road
It doesn't rain that much, it's just overcast. All the time. But it rains sometimes.
Now that I have answered all your questions: Ahem.
Seattle has been slowly materializing for me over the past year and a half. I had never been here (unless you count flying through the airport countless times–one of my favorite airports, I might add!) until November 4, when I packed up my truck with my living essentials and my Empress and headed west.
How can I speak of three months in one post? Maybe it is not possible. It is mostly work and sometimes not, and occasionally sleep, and 100% life.
It is connecting with friends-of-friends over coffee, smiling uncontrollably while running through the light rain with arms outstretched, packing and unpacking, almost missing the bus, daily sack lunch to save money, dance lessons, budgeting, sitting in a corner next to a cardboard box/desk for an hour trying to unwind after a 16-hour workday, almost missing the bus, morning yoga, packing, drinks at midnight and pancakes at 2 a.m., a new church every Sunday, payday excitement, unpacking and packing, a penguin sweater, pulling off my heels and chasing the bus, free furniture, signing leases and other commitments, going grey, trying to understand football, almost missing the bus, paying rent, unpacking, jumping around and singing at the top of my lungs from the host stand at Hard Rock Café.
I have had three zip codes in three months, I have worked 50-65 hours per week since my arrival (thank the Lord for getting two jobs so quickly, I had some financial catching up to do!), and I have explored this city much less than other cities because of it. Nonetheless, I have still been up to the Space Needle, had a drink at Starbucks (it actually took me a couple weeks, so it was a milestone), hit up a couple museums, and watched people throw fish at the Pike Place Market.
I love both jobs and am excited where they will lead in the next couple years. Journalism is still on my mind but if I have learned anything in my travels the past couple years, it is that if you set your mind to something, work hard, stay focused, etc. then it will unfold naturally.
Like Seattle did. One of the main reasons I am in Seattle is because of a conversation I had with a journalist while roadtripping through the South last May. When I had only lived in Seattle a few weeks, he looked me up and said he was coming to the city to cover the Seahawks game and asked if I was in town. It was a God-moment in May, and it was a God-moment in November as well; both times were confirmation that I was on the right path. The journalist had no idea that his words in Jackson MS had such an impact on my life, and having the ability to share that news with him was such a blessing. In addition my words to him in Jackson had also, unknowingly, convinced him to take up running, and now I am proud to say he is a positive, enthusiastic, healthy half-marathon addict.
We have more impact on people than we think. Even if you only meet once you change lives and your life is changed. I was thankful to have the opportunity to see one of those moments come full-circle; the majority of the time we do not have that opportunity, but it still happens.
After years of travelling off and on, I am taking a step back and keeping the same address for at least six months… which allows friends to track me down, unlike the previous year when 'What state are you in now?' was a common good-morning text from a number of people. Currently I have a roof and four walls, and starting tomorrow I will have a couch for visitors, which means–it's your turn, folks! I have driven all over the country to see you all, so if your heart desires a visit to the pacific Northwest, hit me up for a good time (and free lodging).
As for myself, I have yet to visit Oregon or Canada, ever! So those are next on the bucket list.

Boca Raton, Florida (PressExposure) March 15, 2011 -- New, iconic Ocean-to-Intracoastal condominium in Boca Raton will be filmed again by HGTV's "Selling New York."
One Thousand Ocean, the landmark Atlantic Ocean-to-Intracoastal condominium situated on the tip of a private peninsula at the Boca Raton Inlet, has established a strategic relationship with one of Manhattan's top boutique real estate brokerage firms, Gumley Haft Kleier.
Michele Kleier, president and chairman of the firm, along with her husband Ian Kleier and daughters Samantha Kleier-Forbes and Sabrina Kleier-Morgenstern, are also recognized as stars of "Selling New York," one of HGTV's top-rated shows. Specializing in residential properties throughout Manhattan, including cooperative, condominium, town house, apartment, and loft real estate, the Kleiers know that the audience of approximately 2 million viewers each week want to see costly, ultra-high-end residences within impressive buildings.
A masterpiece of cutting-edge contemporary design, One Thousand Ocean has been among them, even though it is not located in the Big Apple. The uniquely designed, seven-story, nautilus-shaped condominium building featuring 52 residences was developed by an affiliate of LXR Luxury Resorts. According to Jamie Telchin, LXR's president of development, the Kleiers have a strong and longstanding connection to Boca Raton. "They have been frequent visitors here and subsequently bought property in the area. They also have high-net-worth New York clients with high expectations who seek properties in prestigious Boca Raton," he pointed out.
"We expect that this alliance will bring future interest in One Thousand Ocean from the New York market," Telchin said.
The Kleiers had arranged for "Selling New York" to film a segment at One Thousand Ocean during a visit to South Florida in January 2010. The segment aired for the first time on May 6, 2010, during the show's inaugural season.
"That was before this extraordinary oceanfront building was completed," said Michele Kleier, a major force in Manhattan real estate for more than 25 years. "Since then, our family has been back in Boca and recently had the opportunity to revisit One Thousand Ocean. We were even more impressed now that it is 65 percent sold and being enjoyed by many of its residents."
The Kleiers and One Thousand Ocean co-hosted an event for top New York brokers, agents and prospects at The London Hotel in midtown Manhattan on March 7, which was filmed for "Selling New York." The London is one of approximately 30 hotels and resorts in LXR's portfolio in the U.S. and Caribbean. LXR's flagship resort property is the internationally acclaimed Boca Raton Resort & Club, located just across the Intracoastal Waterway from One Thousand Ocean. The Resort's Boca Beach Club is immediately adjacent to One Thousand Ocean.
"We then will return to One Thousand Ocean with the film crew at the end of March to again film the building. We plan to include a party that will take place in the largest penthouse," Kleier noted.
Continuing, she said, "Through the years we have spent a lot of vacation time at the Boca Raton Resort where we still enjoy the beach and other world-class amenities. My daughters have fond memories of when they brought beach chairs and sat out by the jetty by the same inlet that One Thousand Ocean overlooks. So there's definitely a connection between us and this property, which is one of the many reasons we are excited to tell others about it."
