Eileen Ivers Band is among a day of live music that also includes Gaelic Storm and Black 47.
Eileen Ivers could have been a mathematician, but fortunately for the world of Celtic music she chose the path she was meant to pursue. And in mathematical terms, it's all added up. A nine-time winner of all-Irish fiddle championships, Ivers is credited with changing the way the world thinks about the fiddle. The New York Times even dubbed her "The Jimi Hendrix of the violin."
The parallel to the incomparable guitarist is a distinction the fiddle player gladly accepts. "I'll take that one," she said with a hearty laugh earlier this week in a phone interview with RSVP. "I've always looked at this as an amazing instrument that can live and breathe in so many different musical settings. It's lovely to be able to alter what everyone thinks about fiddle music," she added.
Ivers, who will be one of the headliners at the Newport Celtic Rock Festival this Saturday, is the daughter of Irish immigrants from County Mayo. She grew up in a heavily Irish section in the Bronx amid the Celtic music and step-dancing that was largely found in pockets of Irish-American communities back in the 1970s and early '80s. That was before Ivers came onto the Celtic music scene as a founding member of the female Celtic band Cherish the Ladies. She followed that up as fiddle player in Riverdance, the phenom that elevated Celtic music and dance, melded with various world beats, to the international stage.
Ivers started taking fiddle lessons when she was about 8 years old, though she started out with step-dancing after her mother "pushed her into it," she recalled, adding, "It was a disaster." When the step-dancing didn't work out, she "bugged her parents to rent her a fiddle" and she started taking lessons with Martin Mulvihill, an Irish immigrant who taught hundreds of Irish American kids, she said. Ivers credits Mulvihill with exposing her to the fiddle's wide musical range. "It can be passionate and heartfelt, or you can play it full force," she said.
And though she appeared to be headed towards a solid career as a fiddle player after winning so many all-Ireland fiddle championships as a teenager, Ivers headed off to Iona College to study mathematics on a scholarship. She graduated magna cum laude, and though she thought of quitting to pursue a career as a musician, her parents talked her out of giving up a college education. "At one point I said I really want to play the fiddle and they said, 'You're, crazy kid. We never had this kind of opportunity.' So I stuck it out and I'm so glad I did; music and math go hand-in-hand," she said.
Ivers said she went for one job interview dressed up in a suit for a "corporate job" but she knew it wasn't for her. "Life is amazing the way it unfolds — a year later I was touring with Hall and Oates."
In 1999, she formed her own touring production, Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul, that evolved into the band she tours with today. In 2011, she created the multi-media show Beyond the Bog Road, which explores the Celtic musical and cultural traditions that laid the groundwork for Americana and bluegrass music. The CD to accompany the production will be released a few days after the band performs in Newport, where festival-goers will have the chance to hear the songs performed live.
In addition to Ivers, the Newport Celtic Rock Festival this Saturday at the Newport Yachting Center will feature 10 hours of Irish rock from Gaelic Storm, Black 47, Tartan Terrors, Celtica-Pipes Rock! and the The Fighting Jamesons. Starting at noon, the celebration of all things Celtic will also feature step-dancers, Guinness "Pour Your Own Pint" lessons, and fish and chips and corned beef and cabbage sandwiches for sale along with traditional festival fare.
General admission tickets to the festival are still available for the advance price of $30 through Aug. 22. The day-of event price will be $40. The Festival is free for children under the age of 12 as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Attendees will enjoy a flexible re-entry policy which allows festival-goers to explore downtown Newport as many times throughout the day and night as they would like. Tickets are available by visiting www.newportwaterfrontevents.com.

And the stars just keep on falling. In another shocking "Dancing With the Stars" Season 17 elimination, actress Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Valentin Chmerkovskiy were ejected from the glitterverse in the quarterfinal round of competition.
This unexpected result landed about as well as Nomi pushing Cristal down the stairs. The "Saved By the Bell" actress just came off a perfect 30 score. A routine the judges thought was her best ever. They all joked about "ab envy." She had just danced with a shirtless Gleb Savchenko. None of it made any sense!
Sadly, that's how the coveted Mirrorball turns. Though Elizabeth — considered a major contender up to this bedazzled point — still looked in shock during her exit interview. "I'm sad — there was some more things we wanted to do," she said. But "this is an amazing gift in my life. It's a one in a lifetime but I'm going to take it with me in all that I do."
PHOTOS: 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 17 — Who's left?
Elizabeth and Val's untimely ousting meant low-scoring Bill Engvall and Emma Slater, who were also "in jeopardy" (but not necessarily in the bottom two) had enough viewer votes to make it to the semifinals. "Obviously, the check cleared," Bill joked early on.
The remaining seven couples had two full routines this week: One individual dance, and one "trio" dance with an ousted Pro or Troupe member.
At the top of the leaderboard were Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff, who washed the stink and guyliner off their misguided "Game of Thrones" Viennese waltz with a beautifully lilting, clean, technical traditional waltz set to One Republic's "Apologize."
"That was so dreamy, I just fell in love," Carrie Ann swooned, though she noticed times when Corbin wasn't on his center. Len called it "poetry in motion" but would have liked more rise and fall. Bruno, however, found no fault with the routine. "I thought that was enchanting," he said. "Breathtaking."
Corbin took it to the next level with his jazz trio with Witney Carson from the Troupe. Corbin had Broadway experience and wanted to incorporate that with tap and Bob Fosse and Usher (and with that pink glove, Michael Jackson). Sure, it looked like Karina was throwing shade at the youngsters and their newfangled ideas in rehearsals. But did the judges think they pulled off a great routine?
In the words of Usher, "Yeah!"

"That may be the best routine I've ever seen in all 17 seasons of 'Dancing With the Stars!" Carrie Ann exulted. "Such an amazing combination of so many styles."
Len wanted fireworks, and "for me there was none," he began. "You came out and exploded! … Sometimes it all comes together: the music, the routine, the performance into one fabulous whole."
Bruno called the "High School Musical" actor "Grandmaster Corbin the Magnificent" and said Corbin kept Fosse's legacy alive. Corbin and Karina got a 28 for their waltz, and a perfect 30 for all that jazz. Total: 58 out of 60.
Elizabeth and Val went for a different tack after being shot down ("Bang Bang") by the judges last week. This time, Val spoke and Elizabeth listened. And their Viennese waltz was terrifically moody as a result — a contemporary take on a dark side of marriage, set to Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful." Carrie Ann pointed out one out-of-sync section, but liked how Elizabeth "really connected with the emotion … your lines are absolutely breathtaking," she said. Bruno loved the "haunted, tormented quality" that came from within. Self-professed "wind-up watch in a digital age" Len, however, admitted, "It wasn't really my cup of tea."
Len liked Elizabeth and Val's trio salsa a lot better. Though that may have had everything to do with Gleb Savchenko. "Two dudes from Eastern Europe, killing the salsa," Val said. And that routine was about as giddy and fun as a pitcher of pina colada. I know Lizzie is out of the Mirrorball competition, but she was sandwiched between a shirtless Val and Gleb. That's like winning all the awards in one spray-tanned bundle.
"Everything was salsa salsas superstar!" Carrie Ann said. Len liked how Elizabeth was "like a human Frisbee flying from one to the other." "You can handle those boys better than anybody else," Bruno said. Elizabeth and Val got a 26 for their waltz, and a perfect 30 with spray-tanned abs on top for their trio salsa. Total: 56.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV
Tony Dovolani was really pushing his star Leah Remini to be a contender. The judges, certainly, thought Leah and her fiery red lace dress tangoed the heck out of her first number. Bruno called it a "badass, proper tango" but "there are still a few moments when you go a little bit shaky … come back and try to maintain that strength." Carrie Ann was "truly impressed with the growth from last week to this" but "sometimes your arms are sort of null of emotion." Len said Tony did well to put together the ingredients, but Leah really "brought the flavor."
Leah and Tony's trio jive with Henry Byalikov from the Troupe, set to Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," was fantastic. Definitely worth a couple rewinds. Leah had the brilliant idea to play the "DWTS" judges booed one too many times. Loved how Tony and Henry relished their roles as Bruno and Len, respectively. And Leah owned it as Carrie Ann.
The jive was a hoot and a half, and earned a standing ovation even from the judges. "That was the most witty dance routine I've seen in a very long time," Bruno said. "This is a time when strategy matters," said Carrie Ann," and that was some good strategy." Len liked how Henry played him "all stiff and starchy. … It was fantastic entertainment and good fun." Leah and Tony got a 27 for their tango, and a 27 for their jive with Henry. Total: 54.
Jack Osbourne has emerged as the dark horse in this competition — which I guess is what happens after Cher deems you a "pimp." But really, the young Osbourne has grown in confidence and finesse from week to week. He's also got a great partnership with Cheryl Burke, who gifted the newly minted 28-year-old with a miniature Mirrorball inscribed with "Best Partner Ever" on it. "Treasure this always because it might be the only one you get," Jack read on the birthday card. Aw. After that wave of good emotions, how do you not love their Viennese waltz? Particularly with all that draping and fog? "It was a crackerjack, Jack," Len said. "I loved those natural turns into the pivots into the reverse turns." "Ballroom just flows out of you," Bruno said, though he cautioned Jack to watch out for his hands. "It's like you're getting wings to fly," Carrie Ann said.
Their trio samba took a page from "The Jungle Book," with Jack rescuing Cheryl from the claws of evil Sharna Burgess. Though Jack revealed Cheryl and Sharna are actually cut from the same cloth: both teach the same way, and both are "very bossy." Carrie Ann thought it was great to see Jack "come out of your shell … [but] the bounce got a little out of control." Len agreed: "It was such a clever routine [but] the technique in some places wasn't so good." Bruno, however, said he had "so much fun watching you do this." Jack and Cheryl got a 29 for their Viennese waltz, and a 25 for the samba with Sharna. Total: 54.
PHOTOS: Celebrities injured on set
"Glee" actress Amber Riley had her work cut out for her this week, having two high-energy dances but still hampered by her knee injuries. Derek Hough has never rehearsed so little for "DWTS" before. But Amber put on a good quickstep nonetheless. "For me, you're a little bit loose in your top line tonight," Len said. "It got a little wild on occasion." Bruno appreciated Amber's performance, but "don't lean forward, my darling. You have to lean back." Carrie Ann acknowledged Amber's handicap, but "you have set the standard for this competition so high … you have to keep up to that level," she said. "You had a few mess-ups."
Derek wanted to make it so that he and BFF Mark Ballas (naturally) were Amber's backup dancers in their trio salsa. The judges loved the high-octane routine, but thought Amber's injuries held her back. Len would have liked more hip action, but the head judge congratulated Amber on going "full on, giving it plenty." Bruno said Amber was always "fabulous to watch." "You guys are like the dream team — that was just insane in the membrane," Carrie Ann said. "I'm so bummed for you that you're injured right now." Amber and Derek received a 24 for their quickstep and a 27 for their trio salsa with Mark. Total: 51.
Bill Engvall is "over the moon" that he and partner Emma Slater keep on stepping on in this competition. So much so that the comedian wants to "take this girl to the finals," he said. Their Charleston, however, like their laundry, still needed some work. "You got in trouble at the Laundromat again … you forgot to set the timing!" Bruno said. Carrie Ann wished she didn't have a paddle. "You were much better in the package when you were rehearsing," she said. "No swivel, it was wooden … it wasn't a good routine," Len said sadly.
At least Bill got some sweet to go along with those sour judges' remarks, dancing a Willy Wonka-themed salsa with Peta Murgatroyd. "We picked you because you're just as crazy as we are," Emma told Peta. And Peta bounced around with Emma in their cotton candy pink wigs like an epic sugar high. And Billy Wonka got to "dance with not one, but two gorgeous women," he said. "It doesn't get any better than this." Bruno called it more "Willy Wonka and the Babes Factory … always fun" but lacking in "rhythm and timing." Carrie Ann also wanted rhythm, "But I kind of forgive you when you don't have it because you go places where no one has dared to go before." Len suggested Bill have "a couple of martinis just to loosen yourself up a bit." Bill & Emma got 21s for both his Charleston and the Salsa. Total: 42.
What do you think, ballroom fans? Shocked at Elizabeth's exit? At this rate, can anyone stop Bill Engvall from winning from Mirrorball trophy? Was Corbin's trio dance the best routine in all 17 seasons?

LA JOLLA, Calif., – Put simply, a tumor is the result of out-of-control cell growth. To assure that the cell cycle – the cell's process of duplicating itself to make more cells – goes smoothly, a large network of proteins tells other proteins what to do and when to do it. When any of these layers of protein regulation fail, cell growth can get out of hand. A new study led by Ze'ev Ronai, Ph.D., associate director of Sanford-Burnham's National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center, reveals a new player in cell cycle control. These findings, which appeared online in Nature Cell Biology on June 27, showed that JNK, a protein already well known for other duties, also regulates the cell cycle.
"This was totally unexpected of JNK," explained Gustavo Gutierrez, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Ronai's laboratory and first author of the study. "We already knew that JNK helps cells respond to stress, such as damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. We thought we already knew how the major components of the cell cycle were regulated. This study really changes the thinking by connecting the two."
On the molecular level, JNK influences cellular functions by tagging other proteins with a phosphate chemical group (a process known as phosphorylation), a common mechanism cells use to turn enzymes on and off. Phosphorylation is so important that when JNK goes awry, a number of different disorders can result, such as cancer, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases.
The part JNK plays in controlling the cell cycle is completely new. In this study, JNK activity was found to regulate the function of one of the major drivers of the cell cycle, a protein complex known as the APC/C. According to this, and related research recently published by Dr. Gutierrez and Dr. Ronai in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, JNK acts like an assembly line inspector; its presence and activity ensures that the cell cycle moves along smoothly. Any problems push JNK to halt the process at certain 'checkpoints.' If all systems look good, the cell cycle progresses. If not, minor damage is fixed or, if beyond repair, the whole process is scrapped.
"Certain situations where JNK is hyperactive, as seen in some human tumors, might also influence the cell cycle and promote genomic instability," said Dr. Ronai. "Our laboratory is now assessing this possibility using a mouse model that was engineered based on these new discoveries."
This study was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Sass Foundation. For more information about Sanford-Burnham research, visit http://beaker.sanfordburnham.org.

7.5.2 Sea Ice
Sea ice plays an important role in moderating heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere at high latitudes, especially by controlling the heat flux through openings in the ice. Sea ice also interacts with the broader climate system via the ice albedo feedback, which amplifies projected climate warming at high latitudes, and by oceanic feedbacks involving ice growth and melt and the fresh water balance at the ocean surface (Curry and Webster, 1999; Lewis, 2000) Two feedbacks associated with sea ice are illustrated in Figure 7.6.
The Arctic Ocean sea-ice cover evolves from a highly reflective snow covered surface with few openings in May to a decaying sea-ice cover, mottled with melt ponds and interrupted by frequent openings in July. The seasonal changes in mean albedo in the central Arctic, from roughly 0.8 in May to 0.5 in mid-August, are known to within about ± 0.06 to 0.08. The mean spatial pattern in each summer month features lower albedos in the central Arctic and values 0.1 to 0.2 higher along the ice margins, but the spatial evolution of the pattern in any given year is variable. Averages observed at Soviet North Pole drifting stations, from 1950 to 1991, tend to be higher than satellite-based estimates (Marshunova and Mishin, 1994). Albedo depends on wavelength of radiation and on type and thickness of ice; however, ice type and thickness become unimportant if the snow cover exceeds 3 cm water equivalent. The representation of sea-ice albedo in AGCMs may take account of fractional snow cover, specified or predicted sea-ice thickness, ice surface temperature and the fraction of openings and puddles (Barry, 1996). Most models treat visible and near-infrared spectral ranges but there is still a wide variety of snow and ice albedo parametrizations among atmospheric and ocean GCMs. Important new data sets on puddle albedos (Morassutti and LeDrew, 1996) and the temporal evolution of melt pond coverage (Fetterer and Untersteiner, 1998) will enable more realistic albedo formulations to be developed.
Since the SAR, several coupled climate models have incorporated an explicit treatment of openings in sea ice, often in conjunction with ice dynamics. This is typically effected by partitioning a model grid cell into ice-free and ice-covered fractions. However, sub-grid scale variability in ice thickness, not represented in these schemes, can have a potentially important influence on sea-ice mass balance (Schramm et al., 1997), ice/ocean fluxes of heat and fresh water (Holland et al., 1997b) and the sensitivity of sea ice to thermodynamic perturbations (Holland and Curry, 1999). Recent advances in modelling the thickness distribution function make representing sub-grid scale variability, and the accompanying effects, feasible in global climate simulations (Bitz et al., 2001). Other developments since the SAR include updated parametrizations of snow ageing and associated albedo changes and the implementation in some models of a multi-layer formulation of heat conduction through the ice. Snow plays a particularly important role in sea-ice thermodynamics by modifying the surface albedo, reducing thermal conductivity (and hence ice growth rates), and in some locations causing submergence and surface flooding of ice. Considerable effort continues to be devoted to the development and testing of improved physically based parametrizations suitable for use in such models. Recent field experiments, most notably SHEBA (Randall et al., 1998; Perovich et al., 1999), have provided observational data particularly suited to evaluating climate model parametrizations of sea-ice thermodynamic processes and initial attempts at this are underway. Although sea-ice thermodynamic processes are crudely approximated in many coupled climate models (see Chapter 8, Section 8.5.3), it is unclear how these approximations contribute to errors in climate model simulations.
Ice motion is driven by wind and ocean currents and resisted by ice-ocean drag and internal ice stresses. The representation of internal stresses is the primary distinguishing feature among ice dynamics models. Sensitivity experiments with stand alone sea-ice models (Hibler, 1984; Pollard and Thompson, 1994; Arbetter et al., 1997) indicate that inclusion of ice dynamics can alter the modelled sensitivity of the ice cover to climatic perturbations. An assessment of sea-ice dynamic schemes suited to use in global climate models has been undertaken by the ACSYS Sea-Ice Model Intercomparison Project (SIMIP) (Lemke et al., 1997), which has initially focused on the evaluation of sea-ice rheologies (the relationship between internal stresses and deformation). Results are summarised in Kreyscher et al. (1997) and indicate that the elliptical yield curve, viscous-plastic scheme of Hibler (1979) generally outperforms the other schemes evaluated in terms of comparisons to observed ice drift statistics, ice thickness and Fram Strait outflow. Clearly, the effects of ice-related fresh water transports and of other potentially important processes influenced by ice dynamics are not included in climate models which ignore ice motion (see Chapter 8, Section 8.5.3). The effect on climate sensitivity remains to be assessed. Since the SAR, progress has been made at improving the efficiency of numerical sea-ice dynamic models, making them more attractive for use in coupled climate models (Hunke and Dukowicz, 1997; Zhang and Hibler, 1997).

Oscar Party Awkwards: Cruise + Beckham
Tom Cruise did not walk the carpet with Katie Holmes. Instead, he went straight inside and presented the final award of the night, a responsibility usually reserved for a big deal name. Thank you Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Tom Cruise keeps hanging in there. You do have to admire his tenacity, don't you? He will never let you push him out. He will stay there until he wears you down. All the while he will seemingly never age. What are they doing out there on that secret Scientology compound? If that's actually what they've managed to do - create the most advanced and natural looking anti-aging system ever - well, aliens or not, Hollywood will come. And then the Church will own it.
Right after the show, Tom took Katie to Vanity Fair. The Presentation wasn't so prominent this time. But they did match royal blues. Check out Katie in Elie Saab... and a fringe. Terrible idea. Immediately it becomes a beauty pageant.
While inside Tom and Katie hilariously spent time with their old friends the Beckhams. David looks like he's surrounded by crazy people doesn't he?
So there are pictures of Katie with Posh. And there are pictures of Katie with Natalie Portman - posted earlier - and there are even pictures of Katie with Lily Collins but there are no pictures of Katie with Michelle Williams who did go to Vanity Fair too. Just thought I'd mention.

Truth lies in paradox
The word universe means "to turn into one."
Time and Space
It's been a while since I have posted and I have yet to post a personal,
stream of consciousness piece here…..so….yeah.
I continue to find it impossible to live and write simultaneously.
As my story unfolds, it feels all too vulnerable/foolhardy/impatient to turn
the pertinent and intimate events of my life over to words while
anticipating every pending revelation of tomorrow's unknowns.
Hindsight. Reflection. Time.
These retrospectives give Space for understanding, insight, and the
utilities of concept, metaphor, and development that form a cohesive
and interesting report on an otherwise tangled mess of a personal journey.
That doesn't mean that I don't write. Or scribble. Or scratch. Or doodle.
Or muse. Or repeat the same mundane paragraph that haunts every journal;
a pep talk, usually, about how no matter how great or awful __(life)___ might
feel in that moment, change is inevitable. The pages of my notebooks are salted and
peppered with hopeful, "You can do it, buddy's," half-hearted "Fuck this shit's,"
lists of good intent, and lots of bad ideas.
Often on the same page.
And eventually the unknowns become known.
The story progresses, the chapters begin and end in harmony with the seasons, or weeks,
or months, or years…whichever arbitrary system we use to mark these inevitable changes.
And along with the physical, visceral, ethereal, real, and imagined transformations,
when change is ACKNOWLEDGED it is ultimately a reflection of our own growth and
increased understanding through the personal journey.
That's what makes the present so elusive and boring.
Change is happening right now. And now. And now. And now. And now.
To attempt to capture the present is to lose it entirely.
That is, to convey any notion of present-ness – its eternal permanence and passing –
forces us to search for meaning and knowledge from the past, apply these
definitions to a "now" that is simultaneously expiring and yet to exist, relative to
predisposed predictions about the infinite possibilities of an unknowable future.
It is this Time and Space… or non-Time and non-Space… of the present moment
wherein lies the magic and the mystery. The infinite knowing that the present
is the only thing that *actually* exists and since you're the only thing responsible
for your reality, it is your life's work to be present with each moment
as they ebb and flow and zoom and wander through your being in a single breath times infinity.
This is the power of Being.
Of unconditional Love.
Of Accepting that every thing is temporary.
Of Gratitude for what has been, what is, and will be.
The present moment is a chance to shape your future as it gives way to
past knowledge and intentions.
It's how dreams become reality and where your magic is no longer a surprise visitor.
It's an opportunity to create and cultivate a life worthy of you living it.
Right here-right here.
Right now-right now.
Letting Go – or – Transitions Will Kill You If You Don't Learn To Like Them More
"Letting go is like…..the hardest thing ever….until you let go. Then you realize that hanging on was the hardest thing ever and really, it was the transition that you feared most." – yours truly
From sleep to awake
Vacation back to work
Season changes
Moon phases
Cradle to Grave
And Churning
All transitions.
All change.
All discomfort and not knowing and newness and unfamiliar stuff happening.
Change is inevitable.
We invented time to measure change.
Change is more real than time.
With each breath, each passing day, change is ever upon us; on the horizon, down the street, in front of your eyes and you are it. Because you change. All day everyday. Change comes from within. Change your mind. Change your perspective. Change your definition of success. Change your furniture. Change the song that's playing. Even that millisecond of silence between songs offers endless possibilities : a shitty song comes on, a great song comes on, battery dies – no music, app closes unexpectedly….and that's just in the silence between songs.
Let go of your expectation for change to be predictable.
It is the essence of change – of transition – that forces us into Faith, Trust, Hope, and Acceptance of what has been, what is, and what is yet to be.
All the Answers Are Within
as i peruse my old journals and doodles and notes and jots, time and time again i see how i knew all the answers before they became apparent to my consciousness. muddling through the details, sweating the small stuff, wondering how ever in the world was i going make it through….
looking over old texts, clearing out emails and messages, i also see tons of answers to my own questions…making me further realize that all that i need i already have within me. sometimes i just have to take my own advice.
do you look over your old journals and notes? what do you see throughout the years? do you find this kind of information useful?
if you see patterns of negativity in your personal paper trail, you can change your present course by saying (or yelling) "ok, self…listen up!! we're gonna change a few things around here, but it's for the better – so your cooperation at this time is greatly appreciated!!!"
if you mess up, forgive yourself and move on. each moment is a new opportunity. if you hit a wall, change your definition of success. make your goal something you can easily accomplish in a day.
somewhere, buried in all of us, are the all the answers we'll ever need…since we're the ones who make the questions in the first place.
Straying from the Path is still the Path
on the path of becoming more myself, i have encountered a number
of detours along the way. diverging from my track to explore other
territories, derailed by doubt and fear, coaxed from the trail by
curiosity, boredom, misguided hope, laziness….
i often stray from the spiritual path…and am quickly reminded
of how much more difficult Life is when i try to be something i'm not.
when i follow in another's footsteps, i lose sight of my own.
where i've been, where i am and where i'm going all gets lost
in somebody else's idea of being. all of a sudden, i look up and
i've wandered so far from my own path that i can't even see
what set me off track in the first place.
that's when i realize that it's all part of the journey.
the detours and divergent paths of distraction are
opportunities to practice what i've learned
and more importantly:
to learn what needs more practice.
it is this crucial lesson that is to be
brought forth by such wanderings…
to become illuminated by imperfection.
basking in my own humanity i am reminded of my path;
of my own, personal journey to perfection
of becoming the perfect me
…which i already am.
Religiously Spiritual
Lotsa folks these days are saying,
"I'm not so much religious, I'm spiritual."
Well that's fine and dandy, but I find that I'm
very religious and quite spiritual.
Rites, rituals, celebrations, formalities, ceremony…
all of this facilitates the spiritual experience.
Otherwise, how would we know when the Spirit of God was falling or not?
Can we even tear the two apart?
Can we be religious without being spiritual
or spiritual without being religious?
Right now the practical isn't working, so I'm resorting to magic.
It's not always – or even often – the case, but I've done the research and it seems that it's time for magic right now. Throw all your rules and rulers out the window because magic doesn't care about guidelines or gurus. Magic cares about you, it cares about here and it cares about now. That's about it. Everything else is beyond the realm of YOUR magic's reach. Because magic comes from within.
The timing is wrong, the results are not yielding in the familiar ways. What happens when the practical is the only magic you know? "Effectiveness is the measure of truth" and "There's always another way to do anything" come to mind.
It's time to let go, to go with the flow, to love unconditionally, to believe in your dreams, to imagine new heights, to ask for the impossible; it's time to level the fuck up.
And so far it's working.
It works better than stressing.
It works better than guessing.
Magic works the way only it knows how.
Fueled by Faith and Encouraged by Hope, Magic happens when there's Love.
Not sure how long this window will last, when it will be time to return to the practical – maybe tomorrow, maybe never. All I know is that I'm yielding better results -right now- without trying so damn hard.
Beginner's Breath
as we encounter the onslaught of information each day, our brains process each bit of data according to importance. if you're at work and 'in the zone,' you're not going notice the gatherings at the water cooler or another pot of coffee being made…but when you need social integration or a break, these things will come to the forefront of your attention and distract you from the task at hand. likewise, when mediums such as television, magazines in the grocery check-out line, billboards on your commute all tell you what to be and how to be that thing and what product you need to get you there, don't think that you are immune to its message. depending on your mental state, you may be more or less susceptible to the message of the mass mediums of our day.
set your focus on positivity and allow the positive of each bit of data flow through you. acknowledge your emotions and your reactions throughout the day. if you're angry, you might really just be hungry or thirsty or tired. examine your actions throughout the day….are you eating enough vegetables and drinking enough water? are you getting enough rest and sleep? did you know that rest and sleep are not the same thing? do your actions reflect your lack of breathing into each moment or are you calm, cool, and collected despite adversity? what kinds of situations make you hold your breath or induce shallow breathing? remember that it begins and ends with the breath, so using it to move through difficult moments is as helpful as it is in keeping you alive throughout the day….it's just that you have to think about one of them.
combine your thought with your breath. the best way to begin is to set an intention and then inhale and exhale 10 times, thinking only about each breath as it is happening. don't worry if it's perfect, we'll get into the intricacies of breath work soon…just take a moment to think about your breath today, give gratitude for this involuntary reflex that keeps Life in us! BREATHE!
Plan Your Month (Life) with the Moon
Here's an easy-to-read-and-understand guide to the moon's phases.
It might help explain what's happening and why;
and give you a better idea of how to make the most of the
inevitable changes brought about by Moon.
Imagine being in a tribe of about 25 or so people on the night of a New Moon.
Huddled around the fire all is well, but beyond y'all is Infinite Darkness of Nothingness.
The landscape is invisible and full of every possibility that only The Void can bring.
Enveloped in the Black Womb of Creation and Destruction you know Fear and Hope
it is the Beginning and End of All Things.
….Before God said, "Let there be Light," there was first
the Deep Dark Nothingness from which Light and Life spring forth.
Now imagine a couple weeks later when the Full Moon
lights up your whole world and everything that was once hidden
around you is illuminated and nothing is unseen or unknown.
It is as if the Sun is out at night and you can run, jump and play
through the night without doubt or fear…there's an obvious correlation here.
Moon controls the very tide, it is by the Moon that we plant and harvest.
By the Sun we are given Light and our ever-changing Night Light….
Yet Moon reminds us of the Feminine in Her Constant Change, guiding
the Ebb and Flow of Humanity…Moon reminds us of the Breath in Her Full Moon Inhale
and Her New Moon Exhale and each and every phase of the waxing and waning
process….Moon reminds us of Life in Her Brightest Moments and Darkest Hours.
It's always been a dream of mine to go into space and to the moon.
Would you go to the Moon?
Do you have any Moon rituals?
Do you notice any personal patterns that go along with Moon's phases?
Do you only think about the Moon once in a Blue Moon?

Donna Summer, Grammy-winning Queen of Disco, dies at 63
NEW YORK — Disco queen Donna Summer, whose pulsing anthems such as "Last Dance,� "Love to Love You Baby� and "Bad Girls� became the soundtrack for a glittery age of sex, drugs, dance and flashy clothes, has died. She was 63.
Her family released a statement, saying Summer died Thursday morning and that they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy.�
"Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time,� the statement read.
Summer had been living in Englewood, Fla., with her husband Bruce Sudano.
Summer came to prominence just as disco was burgeoning, and came to define the era with a string of No. 1 hits and her beauty queen looks.
But unlike some other stars of disco who faded as the music became less popular, she was able to grow beyond it and later segued to a pop-rock sound. She had one of her biggest hits in the 1980s with "She Works Hard For The Money,� which became another anthem, this time for women's rights.
Soon after, Summer became a born-again Christian and faced controversy when she was accused of making anti-gay comments in relation to the AIDS epidemic. Summer denied making the comments, but was the target of a boycott.
Still, even as disco went out of fashion she remained a fixture in dance clubs, endlessly sampled and remixed into contemporary dance hits.
Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines, Summer was raised in Boston on gospel music.
"Love to Love You Baby� was her U.S. chart debut and the first of 19 No. 1 dance hits between 1975 and 2008 — second only to Madonna.
During the disco era she burned up the charts: She was the only artist to have three consecutive double-LPs hit No. 1, "Live and More,� "Bad Girls� and "On the Radio.� She was also the first female artist with four No. 1 singles in a 13-month period, according to the Rock Hall of Fame, where she was a nominee this year.
Her genre-defying sound helped her earn Grammy Awards in the dance, rock, RB and inspirational categories.
She released a number of albums that have reach gold or platinum status, including the multiplatinum "Bad Girls� and "On the Radio, Volume I II.�
She had a number of top 10 Billboard hits, including "Hot Stuff,� "She Works Hard for the Money� and "MacArthur Park.�
She released her last album, "Crayons,� in 2008. It was her first full studio album in 17 years. She also performed on "American Idol� that year with its top female contestants.

Argentina car crash kills 3 relatives of Pope Francis
Buenos Aires, Argentina — Three relatives of Pope Francis died and a fourth was in critical condition Tuesday after their car crash on a provincial highway in Argentina, the Vatican and a local police official said.
The small car carrying a nephew of the pope along with the man's wife and two young children slammed into the back of a truck, said Highway Police Superintendent Jorge Raineri. The crash killed the wife and children, one 2 years old and the other 8 months.
Photos showed the passenger side of the car smashed and crumpled beneath the cargo truck.
Emanuel Bergoglio, the 38-year-old son of a brother of Pope Francis, was hospitalized. He suffered extensive injuries and his condition was not considered stable, said Ignacio Bruno, an assistant director of the hospital in the town of Villa Maria, to Todo Noticias television.
The man's 36-year-old wife, Valeria Carmona, and youngest child, Jose, died in the accident. Two-year-old Antonio died at the hospital, Bruno said.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said "the pope was informed about the tragic accident. He is profoundly saddened." He added the pope asks "all who share in his grief to unite with him in prayer."
The accident occurred between the cities of Rosario and Cordoba, apparently as the family was returning to Buenos Aires following a holiday weekend. The driver of the truck was not injured.

Books to Prepare Google Interview QuestionsThere are the lot of books available in the market, which covers lot of different topics asked in Google or Amazon interviews, but most of them lack quality. In order to succeed in Google, most important thing is data structure and algorithm topic along with problem-solving skills, if you have that, half of battle is won. Following are some of the popular books, which programmers prefer during preparation of Google interviews:
1. Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google? By William Poundstone
Google is known for asking insanely difficult puzzles, this book takes you on both. It's readable, fun and same time introduce hard realities of Google interviews. You will be glued to read this book, after reading the first interview experience :)
2. Algorithms For Interviews By Adnan Aziz and Amit Prakash
This book is specially written for Google interviews. Authors have put decent effort to not only show how to use algorithm but also focus on problem-solving skill. A must read for any Google aspirants.
Another top class book on the topic of Algorithm. As I said, data structure and algorithms are extremely important to survive and excel google interviews. Read this book at least one time, if not two. Another must read for Google aspirants.
4. Top 10 coding interview problems asked in Google with solutions: Algorithmic Approach
One more great book to prepare for Google interviews. This book present 10 top quality code questions asked on Google, with a full solution including pseudo code and C++. This book fills a lot of gap on how to solve coding questions on Google, something freshers and software engineers lacks.

jsadowsky brauchte ein neues Button oder Icon Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 9 Designs von 6 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Small button needed for use in the top navigation bar of our website (http://www.partyinnovations.com), similar to that of the "Custom Napkins" button. This new button will be used for our "Promotional Products" category. Button should include the words "Promotional Products" and a small icon to the right.
We specialize in custom logo / promotional products for company and corporate events and parties. We'd like a button similar to the "Custom Ribbons" and "Custom Napkins" buttons located in the top navigation bar of our website. Specifically, we'd like to create a new button to represent our category of promotional / customized logo products. The new button should include the words "Promotional Products" and a small icon to the right. The entire button size should be about 150 x 19 px (l x w). The icon itself should represent a group of customized goods. For instance, the group can include a mug, paper cup, plate, frisbee, balloon, calculator, beach ball, tube of lip balm, candle, tote, golf tee, pen, umbrella, toothbrush, matches, keychain, koozie, water bottle, letter opener, and playing cards. You don't have much space to work with so you won't be able to include all the products. This group of products should emphasize PROMOTIONAL / CUSTOMIZED goods, so please design each product with our balloon logo (you'll see that the "Custom Napkins" button from our navigation bar is designed with a small version of our balloon logo). The promotional products in the icon should look 3-dimensional.
- Button that reads "Promotional Products" w/ an icon to the right.
- The icon should include a group of promotional goods. Some promotional goods you may want to include are a calculator, frisbee, paper cup, mug, plate, candle, tote, golf tee, tube of lip balm, pen, umbrella, toothbrush, matches, keychain, koozie, beach ball, water bottle, letter opener, and playing cards. You don't have to include this full list of products (obviously) because there won't be enough space (entire button should be no larger than 150 x 19 pixels l x w). You should include at least 3 - 5 customized products. Show variations of with more than 5 products, if you'd like.
- PLEASE VIEW THIS LINK TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE ICON SHOULD LOOK LIKE: http://www.partyinnovations.com/ima…tment.html Imagine that EACH shape represents a customized product. Pay attention to the arrangement of products and notice that the smaller products are in the front and the larger ones are in the back. For instance, smaller and shorter products (such as a calculator, keychain, or mug) would be arranged in the front while larger products (such as a frisbee, plate, or tote) would be arranged in the back. The image on the right side of the page (with the cups and plates) represents a small portion of the customized products that we sell. *** When the customer views the "Promotional Products" button and icon, they need to plainly understand that WE SELL AN ARRAY of customized logo products! ***
- The promotional goods within the icon should probably be standard white but feel free to play around with 2 or 3 different colors.
- Each promotional product within the icon should be designed with our little balloon logo (please use the balloon design from the Party Innovations logo on our website). The balloon should use the same purple/lavender color from our logo.
- The overall button should use the same font and background colors as "Custom Napkins" button from the top navigation bar on our website.
- Overall button should probably be no larger than 150 x 19 px (l x w). There isn't much space to work with in that area of our site anyway.
- Winner should provide an illustrator and pdf version of their winning design.
- Item 1...

International Shipment
International shipments vary a lot on delivery
times because they have to go through customs.
Regular shipping will be longer than UPS. You
can see which one you selected in your Order
History. Regular shipments involve the US postal
service as well as the postal service in your
country. When going to Canada, Australia, UK,
and others, most packages will require at least
10 business days (no weekends or holidays) and
sometimes require up to 4 weeks. Occasionally,
more time is required, but those are the exceptions.
If today is still within that range, your shipment
is still within the normal delivery time for
international shipments.
International Shipments
Each country may impose import taxes or VAT (value added taxes) on their
residents. Each shipping company may also have additional brokerage fees.
These amounts are not calculated or collected by Wedding Depot. If your
country selects to impose this sort of tax, it is between that country
and the customer and we recommend checking the rates if you are unfamiliar
with them. The country will bill or collect that tax amount from the customer
directly as well as the any additional brokerage fees the shipping company
may impose.

Stark County residents can expect snow, increased gas prices and fewer travelers as they prepare for Thanksgiving.
A major storm coming from the Gulf Coast could affect holiday travel for those looking to head east.
"It's going to be a significant storm," said meteorologist Tom King with the National Weather Service in Cleveland. "The job, then, is to figure out for whom."
For those celebrating closer to home, Stark County residents can expect snow, increased gas prices and fewer travelers as they prepare for Thanksgiving.
A storm bringing freezing rain and sleet is developing in the Gulf Coast and moving from the New Orleans area to the mid-Atlantic seaboard, King said.
It should mostly miss the Cleveland and Canton areas, as it's staying to the southeast, but places such as Youngstown will be fairly close to the storm's path.
Tuesday, there is likely to be mixed precipitation through Virginia, Maryland, eastern and central Pennsylvania, and parts of New York, King said. By Wednesday, the storm is expected to move to New Jersey and down through North Carolina.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch Monday for eastern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday morning, saying the snow would have a major impact on travel.
As far as snow goes locally, the forecast for Canton shows chances of snow showers that should taper off by Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Temperatures will be in the low 30s, according to the National Weather Service.
Gas prices in the Canton and Massillon area are expected to rise as people begin Thanksgiving travel, said Kimberly Schwind, spokeswoman for AAA Ohio Auto Club, but they'll still be lower than they were this time last year.
"People shouldn't be surprised if we see a little bit of a spike," Schwind said.
Monday, gas prices in Canton and Massillon were averaging about $3.26 a gallon, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.
On the Monday before Thanksgiving last year, gas prices were 14 cents higher, Schwind said.
Across the country, holiday gas prices are estimated to be the cheapest since 2010, according to AAA's holiday forecast.
Some places are seeing gas below $3 a gallon — but not Ohio, Schwind said.
Nationally, the current average for gas was $3.28 a gallon Monday, compared with $3.43 a year ago, according to the fuel gauge report.
Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, commented on what he called a "significant bump" for gas prices in the Canton area, which jumped 20 cents over last week.
Laskoski said while demand might drive up prices this week, he expects the cost of gas might still decline between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"We're not convinced ... that we've seen the bottom for this calendar yet," he said.
And if the storms forecast to slam the country hit in time for the holidays, he said, gas prices could flatten if fewer people travel.
Despite the overall decrease in gas prices, the number of people expected to travel for Thanksgiving this season is lower than in 2012, according to AAA's holiday forecast.
Schwind attributed some of the dip to the government shutdown, as it created uncertainty in the economy.
For the upcoming holiday, AAA forecasts:
• About 43.4 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles for holiday celebrations between Wednesday and Sunday. That number is down from 44 million last year.
• About 1.68 million Ohio residents will travel for Thanksgiving, down from 1.7 million in 2012.
• Wednesday is anticipated to be the busiest travel day.
• This year, close to 39 million Americans — including 1.5 million Ohioans — will be reaching their holiday destinations by vehicle.
• They'll be traveling farther — an average distance of 601 miles, up from 588 miles last year.

From The Digital Shift of the LibraryJournal an article by Richard Byrne, "Getting Kids Engaged with Primary Sources | Cool Tools" stating:
The U.S. National Archives Experience Digital Vaults ... offers students a good introduction to discovering and working with primary source materials. Rather than turning kids loose on millions of records in the National Archives, Digital Vaults focuses on a curated collection of 1,200 items. Within the site, there are activities designed to help students discover important connections between primary sources. One section, Pathways Challenges, provides quizzes that ask kids to analyze a specific resource and then find the related document within the collection. Teachers and students can create their own quizzes or take advantage of the premade challenges. Students who create free Digital Vaults accounts can collect primary source documents and images and use them to create digital posters and videos within the available templates.From American Libraries, the magazine of the American Library Association an article entitled, "Simon & Schuster Launches Library Ebook Pilot"
The last holdout from the major trade publishers, Simon & Schuster, this morning announced the start of an ebook pilot (PDF file) with New York City public libraries.

|Background Checks: What Job Applicants and Employees Should Know
|Date Issued
|General Topics
|Applications, Qualification Standards, Race, Color, Sex, National Origin, Religion, Age, Disability, Genetic Information
|This document, drafted in collaboration with the Federal Trade Commission, provides information on how background checks are used in employment and when such use may implicate laws enforced by the EEOC or FTC
|Date Posted
|Statutes/Authorities Involved
|Title VII, EPA, ADEA, Rehabilitation Act, ADA, GINA, 29 CFR Part 1601, 29 CFR Part 1620, 29 CFR Part 1621, 29 CFR Part 1625, 29 CFR Part 1626, 29 CFR Part 1630, 29 CFR Part 1635
|Employees, Applicants for Employment
The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies.
Some employers look into your background before deciding whether to hire you, or before deciding whether you can keep your job. When they do, you have legal rights. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces a federal law that regulates background reports for employment, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws against employment discrimination. This publication explains these laws, and how to contact the FTC and EEOC if you think an employer has broken the law. There might be other rules in your city or state, so it's a good idea to check with someone who knows the laws of your area.
An employer may ask you for all sorts of background information, especially during the hiring process. For example, some employers may ask about your employment history, your education, your criminal record, your financial history, your medical history, or your use of online social media.
Unless the employer is asking for medical or genetic information, it's not illegal to ask you questions about your background, or to require a background check. (Employers aren't allowed to ask for medical information until they offer you a job, and they aren't allowed to ask for your genetic information - including family medical history - except in very limited circumstances.)
However, when an employer asks about your background, it must treat you the same as anyone else, regardless of your race, national origin, color, sex, religion, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), or older age (40 or older). For example, an employer is not allowed to ask for extra background information because you are of a certain race or ethnicity.
If an employer treats you differently because of your race, national origin, color, sex, religion, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), or older age, or asks you inappropriate questions about your medical status, medical history, or family medical history, contact the EEOC (see below).
Some employers also will try to find out about your background by hiring someone to do a "background report" on you. Two of the most common are credit reports and criminal background reports.
Special rules apply when an employer gets a background report about you from a company in the business of compiling background information. First, the employer must ask for your written permission before getting the report. You don't have to give your permission, but if you're applying for a job and you don't give your permission, the employer may reject your application.
If an employer gets a background report on you without your permission, contact the FTC (see below).
Second, if the employer thinks it might not hire or retain you because of something in the report, it must give you a copy of the report and a "notice of rights" that tells you how to contact the company that made the report. This is because background reports sometimes say things about people that aren't accurate, and could even cost them jobs. If you see a mistake in your background report, ask the background reporting company to fix it, and to send a copy of the corrected report to the employer. You also should tell the employer about the mistake.
You can get your credit report and fix any mistakes before an employer sees it. To get your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. You don't have to buy anything, or pay to fix mistakes.
If there is something negative in your background, be prepared to explain it and why it shouldn't affect your ability to do the job.
Also, if the problem was caused by a medical condition, you can ask for a chance to show that you still can do the job.
Sometimes it's legal for an employer not to hire you or to fire you because of information in your background, and sometimes it is illegal. An example of when it is illegal is when the employer has different background requirements depending on your race, national origin, color, sex, religion, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), or older age (40 or older). For example, it would be illegal to reject applicants of one ethnicity with criminal records for a job, but not reject other applicants with the same criminal records. This is true whether or not the information was in a background report.
Even if the employer treated you the same as everyone else, using background information still can be illegal discrimination. For example, employers shouldn't use a policy or practice that excludes people with certain criminal records if the policy or practice significantly disadvantages individuals of a particular race, national origin, or another protected characteristic, and doesn't accurately predict who will be a responsible, reliable, or safe employee. In legal terms, the policy or practice has a "disparate impact" and is not "job related and consistent with business necessity." (It doesn't matter whether or not the information was in a background report.)
If you think an employer discriminated against you based on background information, contact the EEOC for further information (see below).
If you think that a background check was discriminatory, you may contact the EEOC by visiting its website at www.eeoc.gov, or by calling 800-669-4000 (voice) or 800-669-6820 (TTY). The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information. The EEOC investigates, conciliates, and mediates charges of employment discrimination, and also files lawsuits in the public interest. For specific information on-
If an employer got your background report without asking your permission, or rejected you without sending you the required notices, contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov, or by calling 877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) (voice) or 866-653-4261 (TTY). For further information see-
