Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation
Norman E Rosenthal, M.D. - Author
"Dr. Norman Rosenthal's Transcendence is the best-ever book on Transcendental Meditation: accessible and substantive, engaging and scientific, practical and profound. A very enjoyable read that can change your life, for good." - David Lynch "I have been meditating for over 10 years, and I found Transcendence to be a uniquely compelling introduction to the art and science of Transcendental Meditation. Dr. Norman Rosenthal's book will propel TM into the mainstream where it belongs." - Russell Simmons In this definitive book on the scientifically proven health and stress-relieving benefits of Transcendental Meditation, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher explores why TM works, what it can do for you, and how to use it for maximum effect. Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., a twenty-year researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health and the celebrated psychiatrist who pioneered the study and treatment of Season Affective Disorder (SAD), brings us the most important work on Transcendental Meditation since the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Science of Being and Art of Living-- and one of our generation's most significant books on achieving greater physical and mental health and wellness. Transcendence demystifies the practice and benefits of Transcendental Meditation for a general audience who may have heard about the method but do not necessarily know what it is, how it is learned, or what they stand to gain, physically and emotionally, from achieving transcendence. Dr. Rosenthal clearly and practically explains the basic ideas behind Transcendental Meditation: It is a nonreligious practice that involves sitting comfortably for twenty minutes twice a day while using a silent mantra, or nonverbal sound, to attain a profound state of aware relaxation. Alongside exclusive celebrity interviews-where figures like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Martin Scorsese, Russell Brand, Laura Dern, Moby, and David Lynch openly discuss their meditation-Dr. Rosenthal draws upon experience from the lives of his patients and a wealth of clinical research amassed on TM over the past generation (340 peer-reviewed published articles). He provides the fullest and most accessible book ever on the broad range of benefits of this remarkably simple practice, from relief of anxiety, stress and depression to new hope for those experiencing addiction, attention-deficit disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder. And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. —T. S. Eliot How often have you set out upon some course of exploration—perhaps a relationship, a journey, or a field of study—then put it aside for a time only to find the experience quite different when you return? The Greek philosopher Heracleitus said you can never step in the same river twice because the second time you have changed and therefore the experience is different. That is how it was for me and Transcendental Meditation (TM). The first time I ever heard of TM, I was a medical student in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was the early seventies, and at that time, even in apartheid South Africa, the world of the young was rustling with promises of change. Anything seemed possible. The Beatles had gone to India to learn TM from its modern-day founder, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This quest for exotic wisdom was embodied for me in the words of the rock musical Hair, "I've been to India and saw the yogi light." I was intrigued. What was transcendence? What was the yogi light, and how might I find it?—without actually going to India (which was not in the cards either financially or logistically)\. I was drawn to the promise of an alternative type of consciousness, one that embraced all human beings, and the universe to boot, yet involved no mind-altering drugs. Happily, it turned out that the practice of Transcendental Meditation had already reached the far shores of Africa, so a fellow medical student and I headed off to a small house in the suburbs that doubled as a TM training center. I was reassured to discover that Transcendental Meditation is in no way a religious practice. No one asked me to buy into any belief system. Instead, I learned that TM is simply a technique of the mind that can be practiced by people of any religion or of no religion at all. The technique goes back thousands of years and was taught to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi by his own teacher in the Himalayas. Maharishi extracted the TM technique from its religious context and distilled it to its essence, which he believed could be of value to people of all creeds in many situations. Maharishi brought the technique first to India (in 1955) and then to the rest of the world, including the United States, which he first visited in 1959. Although for many Westerners Maharishi is best known for his contact with the Beatles in the 1960s, that was only a small part of his career. He was the founder and leader of the worldwide Transcendental Meditation program for over fifty years and devoted his life to sharing his insights and knowledge both in his writing and his public appearances. He also promoted scientific testing of the technique, to help bring meditation into the scientific mainstream. As part of our TM instruction, my friend and I were each given our own mantra (a sound-word-vibration). Then, over several days, we were taught how to think the mantra as we sat in quiet relaxation. We were to practice for twenty minutes twice a day. Although I found it very soothing, I did not feel any lasting effect—which in retrospect is hardly surprising since I seldom practiced. In the busy life of a medical student, TM slid down my priority list, then off. It was replaced by studies, dissections, autopsies, and eventually patients, the most rewarding part of a medical education. Add in my rudimentary attempts at a social life, and no time seemed left in the day. The brain in all its wondrous mystery has always intrigued me, so I became a psychiatrist. I immigrated to the United States in 1976, embarked on a psychiatric residency at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, and in 1979 moved to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland, to become a researcher and pursue a clinical practice in psychiatry. There I soon had the good fortune to encounter Herb Kern, a patient whose moods varied remarkably with the seasons: In the summertime he was a happy, creative scientist, but as the days grew shorter, he invariably fell into a deep depression. Herb theorized that his seasonal shifts of mood might be related to seasonal changes in the length of the day. He visited the NIMH during one of his depressed phases and became the first patient whom my colleagues and I treated by expanding the length of his day, using bright artificial light. Within three days of starting treatment, he bounced out of his depression! The idea of seasonal mood changes driven by day length struck me as important because I myself, after moving north from South Africa, had experienced such changes, though not as severely as Herb. Perhaps many people had such seasonal mood changes, I thought—and research over the years has shown it to be so! Over the next several years, my colleagues and I went on to describe a syndrome we called seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and also to develop a novel treatment for the condition—exposure to bright light. I describe the story of this discovery in my book Winter Blues. Although light therapy for SAD is now routinely prescribed in all the darker parts of the globe, such as the northern United States and Europe, at the time my research began many colleagues thought the idea was strange, even humorous. I had to put up with a lot of teasing, and I am greatly indebted to my senior colleagues at the NIMH for supporting a young researcher with his outlandish idea. From that early research experience, I took away several important lessons: to listen carefully to my patients; to be open to new observations; to follow my intuition—even if it took me down untrodden paths; and never to ignore the importance of the obvious, such as light and dark. All these lessons are relevant to this book, because after thirty-five years they brought me back to Transcendental Meditation, that brief fad of my medical school days, and the experience was totally different. I now know meditation to be something that can transform people's lives. And I mean transform, as in, "He or she is a different person." This realization first dawned on me several years ago when I began to treat Paul, a young aspiring writer and filmmaker who suffered from severe bipolar disorder. Like myself, Paul had learned TM, then let it lapse. Some years later, when Paul was in his early twenties, his illness struck. His first manic episode was, in his words, "The beginning of a five-year roller coaster through hell—two psychotic manias that landed me in prison, a transfer to a mental hospital, a cocktail of drugs that caused me to gain forty pounds and evaporated all my emotions, followed by the misery of the bipolar depressive phase that stripped me of all capacity for pleasure and left me suicidal." At that point, even though Paul was on a combination of medications, as well as a rigorous program of healthy living, here's how he describes the way he felt: Despite all these efforts, after two years of being stable since the end of my depression, I was still not happy. I wasn't really unhappy, but I didn't laugh, feel good or have much emotion. I was basically just getting by, keeping my head above water. I resigned myself to the idea that I would never be happy—I mean truly happy. Paul tried to start meditating again, but irregularly. That changed, however, after a pivotal experience, which he describes as follows: While working on a documentary, I met a man who was a big meditator. Somehow the subject of bipolar disorder came up, and it turned out that this man had a severe case. Yet he told me that for the last twenty years he had been really happy ninety percent of the time. I was amazed, but I believed him. I could see it in his face and his eyes—that he was really happy and wasn't lying. It was then that I decided to do TM twice a day every day. Of course, I would miss here and there, but I resolved to do it regularly. Ever since then, things got better over time. The positive effects took a couple of months to set in noticeably. When they did, they came gradually, progressively, stronger and more profound as time passed. It is now four years since I have been meditating regularly and I'm better than I've ever been. Just like the man I met that day in San Francisco, I'm not just happy, I'm really happy ninety percent of the time. When I told Paul that I had once practiced TM, but had let it lapse, he said, "You should start meditating again, Dr. Rosenthal. You'll see. It'll make a great difference." He made this suggestion several times and I nodded my head, all the while wondering how I would fit two twenty-minute sessions into an already packed day. Perhaps it was the earnestness of his repeated suggestion that prompted me to act. Or maybe it was my recollection of how, over the years, I have learned at least as much from my patients as they have ever learned from me. It was at that time that I met Bob Roth, a highly experienced teacher, who checked my meditation technique and set me on the right course. Unlike the young medical student I was in Johannesburg, I now realize that no new skill can be acquired without practice, so I have been faithful to the twice-a-day regimen. As a reward, I have acquired in TM a valuable tool for stilling my mind and quieting the fight-or-flight responses so often triggered by the stress of modern life. Transcendental Meditation does more than merely correct symptoms, however. After a few years of practice, it has allowed me to enter a place inside my mind that is difficult to describe with any better word than transcendence. It is a blissful state that encompasses elements of serenity, peace, and acceptance, but also exhilaration and a sense of new possibilities, both for now and for the future. I don't mean to imply that I always feel this way—far from it. I will say, though, that I cannot remember a time when I have felt happier or more at peace with myself and my surroundings. In the past few years, since I have been meditating regularly, I have recommended TM to a number of my patients, many of whom have reported excellent results. You will read about them in this book, together with the experience of other clinicians and researchers intrigued by TM. My colleagues and I are excited not only by TM's potential to relieve various forms of human suffering, but also by how much we can learn in the process. Transcendence turns out to be an excellent window into the mind and the brain. A great deal of clinical research has been done on TM. For example, we now know that when people practice TM, their blood pressure drops. They show higher blood levels of a soothing hormone called prolactin, as well as more coherent brain wave patterns, which are associated with good mental functioning. New evidence even suggests that TM may improve longevity and lower medical costs by reducing hospital stays and doctors' visits. Even people who are not in physical or psychological distress can be helped. TM has been shown to help "normal" people reach their full potential and live in greater harmony with one another. All this research is now moving into the practical realm. Already, ambitious new outreach programs are using TM to help groups of people under particular stress, including inner-city schoolchildren struggling to cope with life amid the clamor of crowded and violent schools; veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder; homeless and formerly incarcerated men trying to adapt to life in the workaday world; and Native Americans, who are battling high rates of diseases like diabetes. This ancient tradition has many potential untapped uses, including some that you can identify by reading this book. In addition, TM training is becoming easier to find as professionally trained TM teachers are available in most parts of the world. As I will discuss later, neither this nor any book can teach the technique of TM, which is learned individually from a teacher. As with other courses of study, a fee is charged to cover costs of instruction and administration. Do not be deterred, however. Loans, scholarships, and grants are available to ensure that anyone who wants to learn meditation can do so. As a person who has witnessed the mental and spiritual anguish of many hundreds of people, I have to say that the potential clinical power of this technique is amazing. It offers the promise to transform the lives of millions who suffer. At the same time, I hope the practice will not be confined to spiritual seekers or to people so afflicted that they come to medical attention. It can also relieve stress and maximize the potential that resides within each and every one of us. If Transcendental Meditation were a drug, conferring so many benefits with few, if any, side effects, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster. I am not suggesting that TM be considered as a stand-alone treatment for emotional disorders, especially when an effective standard of care already exists. But when it comes to the brain and mind, the fact is that no single treatment works every time for any given set of symptoms. We often have to try several different medications or treatment approaches before we find the right mix. I am suggesting that TM should be part of that mix, especially when conventional approaches prove unsatisfactory. You will meet in this book many people who fall into that category, people for whom TM has provided additional help they could find nowhere else. Indeed, for a few people, TM has done the job all by itself. I am thinking, for example, of a physician described in chapter 6, "Helping the Spikes and Valleys," whose depression during medical school responded to TM after failing to respond to conventional treatment. This man has stayed well without antidepressants for these past thirty-five years, and to this day he continues to meditate twice a day. You may wonder, as I did many years ago, whether twenty minutes twice a day is too much time to commit. I now view it very differently. Soon after starting to meditate regularly, TM became for me—as it is for most people—a pleasant and peaceful retreat. I see it as an investment in my well-being and physical health. Finally, to my initial surprise, it makes me more efficient during the rest of my day—and others agree. As one Wall Street broker told me, far from detracting from his ability to get things done, his regular meditation practice actually gives him more productive time. In this book I will explore four major themes related to TM, represented in the four parts of the book: Transcendence, Healing, Transformation, and Harmony. These sections deal respectively with (1); the curious and wonderful state of consciousness called transcendence; (2) the physical benefits of TM that scientific research has confirmed; (3) its psychological impact, seen in research and the stories of real people whose lives it has transformed; and (4) the way TM promotes harmony at multiple levels—within the mind, between mind and body, between people, and within society. Although I am excited by relief TM offers those suffering from physical and emotional disorders, there is a great deal more to the practice. I hear all the time from both patients and friends about their desire to move beyond the humdrum and the ordinary. People have a certain yearning. It's not that anything is wrong with their lives—they just want something more, something larger than their daily routine. I have come to believe that for myself, and many others, this need can be met by delving deep into the self and discovering the ocean of consciousness within. In the course of my exploration, I have talked with people from many walks of life who have made these journeys of transcendence and have been transformed in the process. I have spoken to inner-city schoolchildren, veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, people with addictions, formerly homeless and incarcerated men, and those suffering from emotional illnesses, and have been impressed by the impact of TM on their lives. I have also spoken to successful artists—including movie stars and filmmakers—as well as scientists and business executives, and have arrived at the same observations. I can only conclude that this technique can improve the lives of a broad sweep of people, and I look forward to sharing what I have learned with you. Some of you may find this preview of the benefits of TM—this seemingly simple technique—exaggerated and hard to believe. I don't blame you. It has taken me quite a while to come to these conclusions myself. But as a psychiatrist and scientist with over thirty years of clinical and research experience, I have found that, once in a great while, something comes along that truly surprises—TM is one such thing. I have examined the data—the literature, my patients, and my-self—and am persuaded that something rather special is going on here. I encourage you to read the stories of the people in this book, as well as all the research behind my conclusions—and judge for yourself. "Dr. Norman Rosenthal's Transcendence is the best-ever book on Transcendental Meditation: accessible and substantive, engaging and scientific, practical and profound. A very enjoyable read that can change your life, for good."—David Lynch"I have been meditating for over 10 years, and I found Transcendence to be a uniquely compelling introduction to the art and science of Transcendental Meditation. Dr. Norman Rosenthal's book will propel TM into the mainstream where it belongs."—Russell Simmons |

Interesting article promoting the new NBA game. So MJ sat down for an interview and says, in his prime, he could beat Lebron but not Kobe. Says Kobe has taken too many of his moves.
What do you guys think? MJ is the best of all time but, my perspective, Kobe is right up there if not #1 he's #1B. He's played longer, has the stats, the championships, the ability to change the game, the clutch factor (more than MJ did I believe) and at his age is still playing at a higher level then most of the league. Lebron is a genetic freak and delivers in every avenue of the game but he isn't the pure player like Kobe and MJ are/were. I'll leave it open to all of you. Click the pic for the story
I guess the Jay-Z effect is happening pretty quickly. The Toronoto Raptors are making a move to bring in Toronto's biggest name, Drake, into the franchise.
On Monday (September 30), Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment announced the NBA team-up with Drake, who just released his Nothing was the Same album last week. At his new gig, he'll design a line of clothing for the team's brand, he'll redesign their appearance for the 20th anniversary of the team for the 2014-2015 season, and he'll be a host at the 2016 NBA All-Star game, an honor the Raptors just agreed to.
The question that has been utterted out of many mouths of men....when their children of course. Do girls poop?? Well, this hilarious and beautifuly done video answers the question (sort of). Enjoy.

I. Am. Done. Discussing. This. Until. We. Know. More.
Yay, I was used as an example of ignorance or whatever.
But really though, I don't see the harm in this. It's a measly ten songs, claiming to know the remaining is a lot more plausible compared to the almost ninety songs on Rock Band 3, and Harmonix themselves have all but confirmed it to be correct, and this isn't helped by how quick they were to take this all down yet didn't have an official denial. They have been quite prompt in the deconfirmation of supposed "leaks" in the past, I'm sure if it was fake they would've either let it be or officially claimed it to be false, as opposed to the way they joked around with it with those fake twitter pictures and whatnot, and then there is the thing we can't talk about that showed those few songs on the list. None of this is helped by the fact that out of all ten of the songs they could've revealed they showed the ones on the list we had no "proof" of (I'm using the word proof lightly, but I'm sure you understand what I'm getting at) like we did for those two other songs, essentially confirming the list.
This is like when the roster was leaked for Marvel vs Capcom 3, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter X Tekken, there will be the unbelievers but there are seriously way more things that support the list than not.
P.S. I'm not quite sure it would've been necessary for HMX to say that it's all pretty okay since the leak is contained to these forums if the leak isn't real. If it was fake I doubt they would care that much.
Just my two cents, take it towards paying for Blitz if you like.
Thanks Harmonix for funally giving us Sublime/311/FoS/MB20! LOVE YOU GUYS!
Now please give me The Ting Tings!
It's kind of silly to say Jungle Boogie was a far-off guess when Harmonix already went for it before now.
Witticus: "GeeNef speaks to me like schizophrenia, his words touch me where my priest could reach."
whatever damage was or was not done by the leak has already been done. a few people discussing the songs on a web forum isn't going to make it any worse.
And with the full 25 song setlist announced, it's time to put this thread to rest. Check it out if you haven't already:

The word Dignity keeps getting thrown around in these posts. Since when does having Dignity give someone a right to earn 150% of what their skills, experience, or eduction demands? Just because you live in America and aren't a criminal, doesn't mean you have some right to a job that pays well. Just because you put your hand out, doesn't mean somebody should have to fill it with money.
I worked 15 hour days for 4 years to save enough money that I could take a part time job and afford to go to school for 4 years instead of working all the time. That degree turned into an entry level job working 8 hours a day making half of what I made back then and for work not nearly as physically demanding. And now, 10 years later, I'm making 200% of what I made before my degree and I don't work nearly the 80 hour weeks outdoors in the elements that I did back then.
You see, I EARNED my $85k/year cushy job by busting my tail to save the money and then busting my tail to earn a 3.6 GPA in college and then taking the first opportunity I got and busting my tail to make the most out of it.
You hae to EARN it people. You aren't OWED it.
The world doesn't always work the way you think. There are people who NEVER went to college and who are earning MILLIONS of dollars and there are people who went to school and are mired in debt and can't find decent paying work.
We don't live in a box or in some sort of a utopian society where everything happens according to plan.

Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Blog Tour Starts Today!
My friend Sue asked me if I named it after the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean. Although I like the movie, I did not name my block after the Black Pearl on the movie. I actually thought of Black Pearls when I looked at my block. What do you think? Movie or jewelry? Here is my question for you to be entered in the drawing for a Quiltmakers 100 Block Volume 3 magazine. What do you prefer - to spend your money on movies or jewelry? I know it's a tough one! Also, for the lucky winner who gets chosen for my blog, not only will you get a copy of the magazine, I will send you my new ruler, Fit to be Quarter. Yes, it's close to being finished and I will have it on my website later this week!!
Make sure that you stop by Quiltmakers blog to enter your name in for the prizes that they are giving away. I also decided to give you a free pattern, Black Pearl Table Topper. It is a quick, fun project to make and can be done in any colors. My original block is done using my first fabric line Olde World Style.
In the magazine, the editors decided to do a Quilt Gallery. I submitted a quilt and they decided to put it in! I was so excited. It is called the same name as the block, Black Pearl. We will have kits available on BundlesandBolts.com within the next few weeks.
Hope you enjoy the blog hop and let me know if you make the table topper. Enjoy!

Monique, that's a beauty of a quilt, and I LOVE the name, Black Pearl. Great Job and Congratulations.
Hmmmmm, tough call, I think I"m going to have to say I prefer to spend my money on jewelry, I love movies, and to escape into a really good movie is wonderful, but so are those little charms I collect for my charm bracelet! - May 2, 2011 at 5:25 AM

Love your book, I can hardly wait to get it. Oh and love your block submission. I will go with the movie. I don't wear much jewelry, although black pearls are beautiful.

I love the name Black Pearl and I think of jewelry! I love the fabric you used and the design is stunning. Thanks for the pattern and such a lovley giveaway!
I would spend money on jewelry! - May 2, 2011 at 6:25 AM
- Dorian said...
What a great block! I see lots of possiblities with colors. Congrats in being in the magazine.
I am not much of a jewelry wearer, although I love pretty things. Movies get watched a lot here, as we don't have cable/tv. So movies is where the money is spent...unless it's fabric ;) Thanks for a chance at winning. - May 2, 2011 at 7:14 AM
- Lisa Marie said...
Well, if I could only choose between movies and jewelry, I'd choose jewelry because it lasts longer. But I'd mostly choose to spend my money on fabric! It's more precious than jewels as far as I'm concerned.
- May 2, 2011 at 7:18 AM
- Marianne said...
What a great block and great name for it!
Movies or jewelry. I'd have to go with the jewelry. I am a bracelet fanatic and can't seem to get enough of them. Of course, my husband helps in that endeavor!!! - May 2, 2011 at 8:04 AM

Congratulations!! I love the block, the quilt, and the name. I would spend my money on jewelry, since more fabric was not one of your choices!! Thanks so much for the give away!
- May 2, 2011 at 8:19 AM
- Deb said...
I love your designs and this block is no exception! I think of jewellery also. I would spend money on movies though as a little escapism is often the best medicine! Although quilting is my preferred escape!

Beautiful quilt made from the block. I love seeing the quilts. And my money goes for jewelry!

Okay I'm guessing the theme for this rendition of the mag. is illusions. What an amazing block! I automatically thought of Pirates.. also. I would spend my money on movies. I'm not a jewelery person at all, lucky for my husband! Congrats on the book, ruler and all the good quilty stuff coming your way!

Recently I heard someone say it is the experiences that you can cherish not the things...so I'd have to say...after the movie....but black pearls - the jewelry are beautiful!

I would have to choose jewelry if these were my only choices, but as a quilter and gardener I would choose fabric and plants in that order......love the pattern Thanks,

I love your block! And the entire quilt is gorgeous!

Great block, jewelry that I can wear to the movies, that would be my choice.

No question jewelry! Now, if you had asked jewelry or fabric, it would be a whole different story! Thanks for the topper pattern - it's great!

- Kathy H said...
I like your block and thanks for the directions for the table topper. I love the tan and black combination. I like to spend money on the movies, usually dvd's more than at the movies. then the whole family can enjoy them. Congratulations on being in the magazine.
- May 2, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Love the block in its quilt setting. It really looks spectacular. I think I would choose jewelry over a movie. I may not wear it often, but I will always have it to look at and usually to remember a special occasion.
- May 2, 2011 at 11:04 AM
- Aggiequilter said...
Love the block & quilt! Thanks for the pattern too. Congrats on being in the 100 Blocks.
I definitely choose jewelry over movies, love them both but I can't resist earrings! Thanks for the giveaway. - May 2, 2011 at 11:12 AM
- Candace said...
Gorgeous block, Monique! I have always been a fan of black and tan or creme together! Thanks so much for the free pattern, too! Gosh - I would have to say I would spend my cash on jewelry - I wear so little but always ohh and ahh and pieces I think would look good on me!
Cheers! - May 2, 2011 at 11:14 AM
- Louster said...
Love the block and it would be a great table toppper! I thought of the movie first....it does have Johnny Depp in it:)
- May 2, 2011 at 11:14 AM
- Mary said...
I see a piece of jewelry too! Not a Pirates of the Carribean fan. I dont' buy many movies, I'd rather make some jewery. Black Pearls are so rare, I think that would be nice and go with just about anything.
- May 2, 2011 at 11:22 AM
- Carla said...
Love the block in the quilt. Stunning when it is all pulled together like that. Movies - nope, check them out from the library. Jewelry - nope, just wear my wedding ring. Now ask me about thread or digitized designs for the quilting machine, then I would have a tough choice....
- May 2, 2011 at 11:23 AM
- Stephanie said...
As soon as I saw your block I thought of pearls. Besides being a quilter, I'm also a beader, and I saw the jewelry connection right away. It's a lovely block, and I do love the way the "pearls" of color come together. Congratulations! And, to answer your question, I'll take a third way. Not a movie, not finished jewelry, but jewelry components for creating jewelry is where I'd spend my dime! (Including black pearls!)
- May 2, 2011 at 11:30 AM
- Jennifer Woo said...
Love your block, just beautiful! Between movies and jewelry, JEWELRY hands down! I can always rent the movie later but a nice piece of jewelry I can wear every day! With two kids in college, I have no money for either but I enjoy the thought!!

Love the look of the quilt! Neither jewelry nor movies are my first choice on where to spend my money, but if I had to choose, I guess I'd pick jewelry. (I'm more of a gadget person.)
- May 2, 2011 at 12:05 PM
- Linda said...
I think of jewelry. The block and quilt are beautiful.
- May 2, 2011 at 12:07 PM

Black Pearl is a lovely block. I see jewelry when I look at it. Of course, jewelry is my preference over movies hand down!
- May 2, 2011 at 12:08 PM
- Shannon said...
Very pretty pattern. Well for me it would be moves. I love a good movie. I do not like to wear a lot of jewelry.
- May 2, 2011 at 12:14 PM
- Sandi P said...
Very striking in the black and white colorway. I love it.
I'm really not much of a movie kind of gal, so I guess jewelry would win this contest. - May 2, 2011 at 12:19 PM
- Mary said...
I think jewelry. I subscribe to Netflix, though, so probably end up spending more on movies that way! But in the end, my final answer has to be fabric.
- May 2, 2011 at 12:21 PM
Jewlery. However, I would rather spend it on fabric.

Would I rather spend my money on jewelry or movies? Neither - I'd spend it on fabric! LOL! But, since that wasn't on the list, I'd have to say jewelry.

Great block, Monique. If I had to make a choice between spending money on jewellery or movies, it would definitely be jewellery. Good think you didn't throw quilty items in as a choice, or I would've had a really touch time deciding :)
Thanks for the pattern and giveaway. - May 2, 2011 at 1:35 PM

Your block's stunning, I see how apropiate's the name... Black Pearl. I almost don't like tv, so I prefer to spend my money buying jewerelly, not the expensive ones though, you can keep them forever, and wear them, not the same as the movies... so your block's a piece of jewerelly to me ;)
- May 2, 2011 at 2:13 PM
- Vivian said...
Really like this block, it's very graphic. A Black & White or Cream quilt is still on my bucket list and it's always hard for me to imagine good designs for it so I love seeing blocks (and the quilt you made) that give me ideas.
Definitely jewelry over movies. Now if you asked jewelry or fabric...... - May 2, 2011 at 2:15 PM
- Jen said...
Like your block and love the name. Congrats.
Hmm, jewelry or movies, I'd have to say jewelry & I'm not a jewelry type gal. Now if your choices were anything to do with quilting vs. jewelry I'd always chose very expensive machines....and I have. LOL - May 2, 2011 at 2:25 PM

I love your block as it is quite striking. I would rather spend my meager amount of money on jewelry as I try to put a piece on my wall hangings. It was a great way to use earings, pins, from grandmothers.

Thanks for the chance to win your gifts---I would have to say that I prefer to spend my money on movies---I love to escape in fantasy world for a few hours whenever possible. Jewelry just doesn't do that for me!

Oooh, I love your block. I'm really loving the black and white theme. So classic. And the name Black Pearl? Love it.
No question about spending money on jewelry. While I love movies, jewelry is a better bargain. Thanks. - May 2, 2011 at 3:31 PM
- swheatsue said...
LOVE the block! And thanks for sharing the Black Pearl table topper pattern! I've printed it out ready to go!
I prefer jewelry to going to the movies. With jewelry you know what to expect. With a movie you run the risk of being disappointed!
Can't wait for "100 Blocks - Volume 3" to hit the stands! - May 2, 2011 at 3:40 PM
- VickiT said...
Oh gosh ~ SUCH an easy question you've asked. LOL I have a TV and can watch movies all day long if I want. If I'm spending money my pick is always going to be jewelry. I LOVE your block because I am obsessed with swirls right now in my machine embroidery designs and this fabric is perfect that you've used to create the block. I'm also in love with black and white quilts as well so your block really caught my eye. What a great looking block.
Congratulations on being in the 100 Blocks' next issue and the full sized quilt for the gallery as well. Awesome job. Thank you for the pattern too. - May 2, 2011 at 3:53 PM

How generous of you! I like the name Black Pearl as it seems to fit your block whether it be because of the movie or jewelry. I think I'd go with the movies... I'll have to admit my first thought was of Johnny! Love his movies. Sandi

the color was off on my computer, so it came up looking like chocolate. I like that better than black, anyway. It looks like a yummy quilt. Thanks for the pattern.

Your Black Pearl is indeed a pearl of a block. Congratulations on being published in Quiltmakers 100 Blocks. Spending money on movies or jewelry -- no -- fabric or plants are my luxuries.

i rarely buy jewelery... jewelery supplies however, are an entirely different thing! considering the giant stack of dvds that are still sitting in their plastic wrappers waiting for me to get around to watching them, and the fact that i'm saving up for enameling supplies right now, it would definitely be jewelery. thanks so much for the giveaway!

Well, that is a difficult question to answer. I think I prefer jewelry --- it lasts longer. --- I probably spend more money on fabric than either jewelry or movies. Hmm --- not sure what that says about me. I love the block, because I love piecing.

I think your block is "piratey", I'm going with Pirates of the Caribbean!
Terrific block!
We don't have a lot of money to spend right now, so I'll have to say neither movies or jewelry. If I have a bit to spend, it's FABRIC! LOL!

2013-14 Beginning of the School Year Message
Something I have always loved about education is the fresh sense of renewal that accompanies the start of each new school year. As the 2013-14 school year kicks off our teachers and staff has renewed their commitment to work diligently to provide all students with a challenging, relevant educational program.
We are very proud of our strong academic program, as well as the varied and interesting elective courses offered to our students. The staff at Mesa has a well-developed belief system that drives everything we do at our school. Developmentally, we are committed to the idea that the middle school years are the most important years of our student's lives, not only in their physical and social growth, but also in their intellectual and educational development. We hold ourselves accountable to an elevated standard of instruction, and we hold our students equally accountable to high academic and behavioral standards. Believing that a safe and secure environment is a prerequisite to effective instruction and learning, we strive to provide a stable, yet flexible atmosphere that will meet the changing needs of our students. We believe that an effective partnership between school and home is essential to the success of our children.
To this end, you can provide your child with a structured schedule right away to ensure a successful start to the new school year. Include your child's input in creating this after school schedule. Remember, no input from your child equals resistance. Be positive and give frequent feedback on the job they are doing. Here are some suggestions to make homework easier and meaningful:
- Schedule a time each night just for completing homework. This should be quiet time not in front of the TV or other distractions
- Find a quiet place to work and have supplies like pencil and paper handy.
- Be available to look over papers and discuss your child's questions and concerns. If your child has attempted an assignment several times and is "stuck" give him/her some help, but do not do the work yourself.
- When you observe your child displaying good homework habits, reinforce this behavior with praise.
- When possible, relate homework to every day skills such as taking responsibility, following directions, beginning and completing a task, and managing time.
- Read to or with your child and invite your child to read to you, particularly if your child struggles with reading. Let your child see you reading, as you are the most powerful role model in your child's life.
Our commitment to honor the traditions of the past and charter the future at Costa Mesa remain a top priority.We look forward to working with you as a school community to maintain the highest levels of student achievement, campus pride and customer service. Welcome to what is sure to be a great 2013/2014 school year Mustangs!
Dr. Aaron Peralta
