The purpose of this project is to obtain DNA, brain imaging data, other biological samples (e.g., urine, serum), and a comprehensive clinical assessment on patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depression, and normal volunteer controls. Understanding the physical and genetic factors related to these disorders will help us make progress in fitting treatments to an individual's needs. Participants will take part in a detailed clinical assessment, two blood draws, and an MRI scan over two visits. Participants will also be asked to provide urine and saliva samples.

Detailed Description:
The links between psychiatric symptoms and underlying biological processes remain unclear at this time. Unipolar Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia are associated with major disruptions in functioning and quality of life. Understanding the causal physiological and genetic factors involved in each of these disorders would allow us to make great strides in tailoring treatment to the individual's needs. Because the etiology of these disorders are likely multifactorial in nature, a study examining a wide range of variables might best allow us to examine the interactions between different factors and to get a better sense of how genes and the brain interact to produce psychiatric disorder.

Make Up For Ever Wild & Chic Aqua Eyes Collection Review, Swatches, Photos
Ahh it wouldn't be the Holidays without a Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Collection! Like we need more eyeliners in our life right? But hey, who doesn't want smooth, creamy, long wearing ones eh?
Make Up For Ever Wild & Chic Aqua Eyes Collection includes five travel size liners and one essential full size black eyeliner.
You get:
- Mat Black 0L (black) (full size)
- Dark Grey 21L (dark metallic grey)
- Iridescent Navy Blue 3L (navy blue sheen)
- Blue With Green Highlights 12L (metallic teal blue)
- Pearly Brown 2L (golden brown sheen)
- Purple 11L (metallic purple)
I won't go into a big review on Aqua Eyes Eyeliner since I've posted about them several times in the past but I will say they are a great liner as they have an extremely long wearing formula with a creamy texture that glides onto eyes easily and flawlessly.
If you've never tried these liners before this is a great excuse to haul them in this set as it's a value at $36.
Loves it!
Very Muse Approved for purchase.
Available now at Sephora.com

These look great. Thanks for posting, but are you missing a color in your swatches? The grey maybe?
11/22/11 20:47 Olivia:
Maybe I got a fluke product but my MUFE pencil in 01 isn't as creamy as people say. It's not as creamy as urban decay or even milani liquifeye and i don't know why. It makes me sad because I really want to like it and I had hoped that it would be a super creamy AND waterproof liner…double win! but no.
11/22/11 23:48 BooBooNinja:
I saw these in Sephora two nights ago and the travel sized liners were… TINY. I don't know if they had been sharpened several times already… but honestly, I don't know how much fun they would be to use.
11/24/11 9:09 Hanna:
Do you know if MUFE products are cruelty free?
11/24/11 16:02 The Blossom Shed Beauty Blog:
I tend to stick to kohl myself, but I recently got the black aqua eyes in a set, and I have to say it's incredibly smooth – probably the nicest texture eyeliner I've ever tried! I need to try it in grey and if it can challenge my Laura Mercier now:)
11/28/11 4:47 Suzaan:
Tremendously and very bright colors which will give a vibrant looks.And yes of course this is approved by Muse , definitely one to have in my vanity box.

Yeah, I know. The funny thing is I know but then it still somehow sticks out to me usually. Maybe I should be a preschool teacher instead? Then I can make sure everyone is super nice all the time.. ahhh.. anyway thanks for the great advice.

I understood, by the way, from reading about loans, that only the subsidized Stafford loans have no accruing interest. At least that was the only one in which that was explicitly stated. But I am uncomfortable with finances and even though the natural assumption I made was that PLUS and the other kind of Stafford did have accruing interest, I hesitate to trust my own conclusion until someone explicitly states in a positive sentence, yes they do or do not come with accruing interest. So thanks for making explicit.
I feel like I have to get used to talking like a lawyer. I know that you're not trying to make this conversation an 'argument' but to me it comes off like that "Uh, isnt that the difference..." because it's not my style of speaking/writing.

Well, I didnt know the answer to that question. Now I do. Thanks. Given that interest will build as soon as I take it out, I've changed my plan. I will be throwing all the weight of my personal savings (besides a little set aside, I don't believe in $0 in my bank account as a good idea) at the first year. See how much it costs me. Get loans accordingly the following years.
General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: LOANS: Your debt load? Normal debt load?« on: June 01, 2010, 02:25:37 AM »
Numitor this sounds like what I will do for the first year. Take out what makes me feel like I dont need to worry about being broke, and then if I wind up not spending it all 1) make sure to consider it surplus and not act like "oh wow, free money to play with" 2) use it for legit expenses the following year and take out way less loans the following year.
and if what you say is true that the loans (i anticipate them all to be stafford or gradplus) dont accrue interest while im in school, there's no cost to me for getting too much money loaned out 1 year sooner, whereas if there was interest accruing i would have that cost of paying interest on money i didnt really need out yet.
anyway, sounds good.

Also the getting roommates and living in Brooklyn will have to wait for 2L because I'm living oncampus the first year... and I hear those Williamsburg poorly fitting pants-wearers have driven up rents quite a bit.. might have to get myself to Queens..

The car is, which I thought I said but maybe I didnt, NOT for NYC... It's basically the issue of I may be home for month long period in winter, 3 months in summer (depending on where/if I work) where if I dont have a car I basicall cannot move. I'm from a pretty not well-connected area. I would ditch it if I was confident that I would be remaining in NYC almost entirely for years to come but I'm not sure yet.
It is pretty shocking to separate out for me that basically I'm budgeting over 40 a year in personal expenses. I think I'm just nervous about what NYU's budget was, not trusting it included much at all, so aside from food and sleep I assumed it included no room in it for anything else like personal expenses. I guess I should revisit what I should consider 'already covered' by room and board expenses themselves. And then also it just sounds like I have a lot of cutting to do in lifestyle.
Honestly, however, it will be hard for me. I have a real managerial mother type approach where I'm convinced that all the uncontrollable expenses I could possible occur will ALL occur, EVERY year.
I imagine that my real pattern is that I will go in the first year 'overloaned', find out I didnt need as much $$ as I got, and then really tighten up loans the second and third year. But for my psychological health I'd rather do it that way then go in fearing I will have no money and have to beg to pay some unexpected bill.

I anticipate being 175k in the hole, which is right within what my school cover under its LRAP. But just because the school allows it doesnt always mean its a good idea.. is that a normal amount? How about you?
General Board / LOANS: How much are your loans & how much is reasonable? Dont want a bad invest.« on: May 31, 2010, 02:05:27 PM »
Hi, I'm a few months away from being a 1L at NYU. Get to the top of the story, my budget looks like I'll come out of this with 175k of debt. Is that a reasonable amount of debt to carry for earning an NYU degree? I want the facts, not just that its a great school or whatever. What do YOU think you'll be carrying in loans? How do you feel about that?
Long story..
My mother and I have created a budget for me. The school sets out ~77k as the basic amount of tuition/books/housing/food. However I have other expenses (I understand some could be cut should I really need to make cuts)....we are unsure if we should get rid of my car, although we can insure it for 70% less if I have it parked for a few months at a time. My twin is in graduate school in another state and I live 5 hours away from my actual home.. add money for that.. add at least 1800 for a professional wardrobe (spread over 3 years)... money each year for other clothes.. cell phone bills, the times i break *&^% unnecessarily, and the cost of a several nights out a month with a few drinks at a bar, and the amount I think I'm looking at spending sounds like ...90k a year in expenses. I have an expected contribution but of course I can borrow past that without having to ask for a budget readjustment from NYU's part. So no hassle there. I can just borrow if I want.
I anticipate contributing about 45,000 and my mother 50,000 to this whole experience, leaving me with.. yeah, 175k in loans....
So, I am interested in public interest, and at NYU the LRAP will pay back only a certain amount of money, whatever is required besides stafford loan and your expected contribution to meet their bare bones budget... Amazingly enough, this number works out so that I can borrow about 60k a year over the three years without going beyond what LRAP will cover. With my expected costs beyond my mother's and I's contributions (175 - 3(60))= -5 ... I actually stay just within LRAP's allowable debt burden. So it does seem to me that NYU considers this reasonable.
My fear is that, while it is allowable to have this much debt, many other students will actually carry much less debt. Also, I never think budgets work too well, I'm not a big believe in statistics and accounting's purity... for example my budget includes NO income from myself, just savings, because I have no idea if I'll get a summer job that makes money. So I guess some stuff just will have to play out....
Any advice would be great..

The teaser for the City of Bones movie was released last night. The movie looks pretty awesome! The only thing I'm wondering about is "Jace's" accent. I didn't think he was English, even though his ancestors were. But, I can deal. English accents are very swoon worthy!
What do you think of the teaser?

Motsepe Foundation National Roadshow continues
The Motsepe Foundation has embarked on a wide range of philanthropic projects over the past 10 years and has undertaken numerous projects, which include:
- Structural projects such as improving school facilities, churches and roads;
- Making donations to religious and faith-based organisations and traditional leaders for their communities;
- Women empowerment initiatives; and
- Programmes in regard to education and healthcare for children, women and the youth.
The Motsepe Foundation National Roadshow will be getting into Phase Two, with R200-million to be allocated before June 30, 2014.
Residents of the 20 municipalities and metros that were visited during the first phase will, during this Phase -
- Elect:
- > The 30 members of the multi-stakeholder District or Metro-Motsepe Foundation Funding Committee and
- > The Secretary of the Funding Committee and the District or Metro-Motsepe Foundation Development Forum
- The Religious leaders in the District or Metro will elect:
- > The Chairman of the District or Metro-Motsepe Foundation Development Forum and
- > The Chairman of the District or Metro-Motsepe Foundation Funding Committee
- A two-page pro-forma Funding Application form will be distributed, as will
- A two page Funding Criteria document
- The process of announcing some of the successful applicants is to commence before 30 November 2013
The Chairman of the Motsepe Foundation, Mr. Patrice Motsepe said: "We visited 20 District Municipalities and Metros in the nine Provinces of South Africa during the initial phase of the Motsepe Foundation National Roadshow and learned a lot from the comments and questions asked by the local residents concerning the establishment of long-term, sustainable, developmental and upliftment projects and initiatives in their Districts or Metros.
"We will be revisiting the 20 District Municipalities and Metros so that the residents will elect the 30 members of the multi-stakeholder Funding Committee and the Secretary of the Funding Committee and the Development Forum. The Religious Leaders in the District or Metro will elect the Chairmen of the Funding Committee and of the Development Forum.
"We did not visit the Thohoyandou, Giyani and KwaMhlanga Municipalities during the first phase of the Motsepe Foundation National Roadshow because of existing developmental projects in these Municipalities which were initiated by companies associated with the Motsepe Family. We however, subsequently decided to visit these Municipalities during this leg of our Roadshow.
"The Motsepe Foundation recognizes that there are enormous challenges relating to poverty, unemployment, marginalization and inequality and is committed to making a humble contribution towards building self-sustaining and self-reliant Communities," he said.

Venues Of Note
There used to be a whole load of alternative venues in Geneva and its surrounding towns with amazing nights of all kinds but since the whole of Europe went right wing a few years back politics around the country closed most of them down across the whole country. One of the only survivors today is the Usine with various rooms, cinema, bars, etc.
Le Chat Noir
Le Chat Noir is a smaller venue and gives a very "family" kind of atmosphere with gigs in all kinds of genres. It also serves food.
Le Palladium
Le Palladium is a versatile venue that belong to the city of Geneva and that has seen all the biggest names in hip hop, reggae, funk, rock, and you name it kind of music. It has an underground vibe with amazing shows. It doesn't have a website of its own since it's rented out to promoters by the city council.
L'Arena is the stadium like venue that welcomes the world superstars.
Post-Show Hangs
Most venues and promoters do their own after parties with DJs at the actual venue or at a place announced at the show. And if not the post-show hang out is very genre specific and changes often so it would be difficult to list this here… The best is to rock up at the gig and hang out with the punters after the show to find out where the after parties are happening! Also most venues have cafes and bars around them where you can warm up before the show and cool down after it if it's not too late. Here are a few I like…
Le Moloko (Usine de Genève)
A great place to meet people from the alternative cultures of Switzerland and the world. Come and exchange (r)evolutionary ideas and philosophies!
Café Cuba
For those warm Latino style evenings! Filled with tropical beats and grooves of all kinds.
Les Brasseurs
If you like to drink those in house made brews this is the place to visit… It can get noisy!

Is Travel Through a Black Hole Possible
Washington - Apr 11, 2003
Spaceship travel to another universe through a black hole may be highly improbable, but it cannot be ruled out, according to a new analysis that explores the idea of "hybrid singularity." As science fiction fans know, anyone who wishes to fall into a black hole and re-emerge at some distant location or even an another universe would have to go through a forbidding region inside the black hole known as a "space-time singularity."
Traditionally this means negotiating a region of infinite density exerting destructive, tide-like distortions on any "extended object" such as a spaceship, molecule, or anything that is not truly point-like. Physicists now suspect this picture is incomplete and that a second and potentially milder type of singularity might exist.
Known as a "Cauchy horizon singularity," it would impart only finite tidal distortions on extended objects.
The kinder, gentler singularity should only develop when a regular stream of matter or energy falls into the hole.
Previous analyses have considered only streams that were brief bursts. But long-duration "non-compact" streams of radiation, like the cosmic microwave background, can also fall into the black hole.
In a more comprehensive analysis that takes these "non-compact" sources into account, Lior Burko of the University of Utah (firstname.lastname@example.com) explores how a black hole's interior is affected by such infalling radiation. If the non-compact sources are weak, Burko shows, a hybrid singularity forms: a strong sector (inevitably destructive) and a weak sector (finite tidal distortions).
Conceivably, a spaceship entering through the weak sector could travel unscathed to another part of space-time. If the perturbations due to non-compact sources are large, however, Burko shows that the singularity ends up being strong, and destructive, everywhere in the black hole.
Whether black hole singularities in our universe are strong-only or hybrid in nature depends on incompletely known cosmological parameters (such as the expansion rate of the universe and the nature of dark energy).
Several factors may ultimately rule out the possibility of hyperspace travel. They include: (1) the possibility that "weak" sectors may still be much too hazardous for travel; (2) overwhelming effects on the black hole from actual non-compact sources and (3) a working theory of quantum gravity, which may reveal other factors that rule out hyperspace travel. But for now, Burko says, the possibilities are open. (Burko, Physical Review Letters, 28 March 2003)

Black Holes Really Are Holes, Say Astronomers
Durham - Apr 01, 2003
Black holes really are holes - objects without a surface - say Drs Christine Done and Marek Gierlinski in a paper accepted for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The Cavaliers added a Canadian for the second year in a row with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, taking Kansas freshman forward Andrew Wiggins on Thursday night.
Wiggins, a native of Thornhill, Ontario, is the newest addition to the Cavs following last year's No. 1 pick, Anthony Bennett.
"I think I can be a great player," Wiggins said during a teleconference with local media at Cleveland Clinic Courts. "I want to be one of the best. I think it comes with hard work and dedication to be one of the best."
Wiggins, 19, is 6-feet-8 and 200 pounds. He can play small forward and shooting guard after averaging 17.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 32.8 minutes per game in his lone season at Kansas.
He played two years of high school ball at Huntington Prep.
"I want to come in and make an impact right of the bat," Wiggins said. "I want to come in, win Rookie of the Year and play in the All-Star Game."
Wiggins later talked about winning championships.
He showed confidence and smiled as he wore a flashy black-and-white suit, and shook hands with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver after his name was called first at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Duke's Jabari Parker was the top American selected, going No. 2 to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Philadelphia 76ers took Kansas's Joel Embiid third, the Orlando Magic took Arizona's Aaron Gordon fourth and the Utah Jazz took Australia's Dante Exum.
Wiggins was a consensus second-team All-America selection, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and an All-Big 12 first-team pick.
Cavs General Manager David Griffin praised Wiggins for his solid defensive skills during a television interview with ESPN, and compared him to Shawn Marion. Others have compared him to Tracy McGrady, as an athletic player with elite leaping ability.
"All of our scouts felt like he had the most upside," Griffin said.
Wiggins is the third Canadian on the Cavs roster, to go along with Bennett and Tristan Thompson.
"We have always been cool," Wiggins said. "I played the AAU circuit with Tristan and AAU and at the national level with AB. There is chemistry and we all want to be good.
"[This is a] great thing for Toronto. Great thing for Canada, actually. Before this, no player from Canada has been No. 1, and now we have two back-to-back No. 1s."
Wiggins expressed excitement about joining a young Cavs team that features Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Tyler Zeller, Thompson and Bennett.
"They're young, they like to run and they are athletic," Wiggins said. "They are all aggressive and I think we will all get along."
Wiggins also addressed the possibility of playing with former Cavs star LeBron James, who has opted out of his contract with the Miami Heat and filed for free agency.
"It would be great to play with the one of the greatest ever," Wiggins said.
Wiggins is the sixth player the Cavs have selected No. 1 overall, joining Austin Carr (1971), Brad Daugherty (1986), James (2003), Irving (2011) and Bennett (2013).
Carr, Daugherty, James and Irving have each played in at least one NBA All-Star Game.
With the third pick of the second round (33rd overall), the Cavs selected Joe Harris, a 6-foot-6, 215-pound guard/forward from Virginia.
The last Kansas player to go No. 1 was Danny Manning in 1988.
"This is a dream come true," Wiggins said. "The last 24 hours, I have been running around doing interviews. I have been preparing for this moment. … I've been dreaming of this moment since I was a little kid. My dream was just to make the NBA."
Wiggins said he met new Cavs coach David Blatt last week when he was in town to work out, and feels comfortable with his style.
"I know he's a great coach, a European coach," Wiggins said. "I asked around, no player has ever not liked him. He's a great coach, and I think he's going to do great things for our team and just help us on the come up."

Gilbert gets his man
This time, Dan Gilbert made sure he got his man. Time will tell whether or not he's correct.
A billionaire who owns more than 70 companies and has made his fortune swinging for the fences and believing in upside now believes in Andrew Wiggins.
The Cavaliers selected Wiggins first overall in Thursday's NBA Draft because, by all accounts, he has a higher upside than Jabari Parker. And Gilbert loves upside.
The Cavs' scouting department felt differently. They had Parker ranked ahead of Wiggins throughout the season, multiple sources have confirmed, but Wiggins is headed to Cleveland as another terrific young piece that now gives the Cavs five players who have been selected in the top four of the past four drafts.
The selection certainly isn't a reach. Wiggins was projected to go No. 1 overall in this draft for at least the past year, but Cavs executives were intrigued with Parker's scoring, had little concern he could handle the small forward position and didn't seem scared off by Parker's lack of interest in coming to Cleveland.
One source with knowledge of the Cavs' draft plans said late Tuesday night that Gilbert preferred Wiggins. History perhaps indicates why.
Gilbert wanted Victor Oladipo last year, according to multiple sources, but deferred to a front office that instead drafted Anthony Bennett.
The Cavs' front office viewed Oladipo as an athletic, high-motor guy who lacked a discernible skill. Bennett, meanwhile, was viewed as a tweener who arrived overweight and struggled through a miserable rookie season.
Wiggins and Parker certainly have brighter futures than both Oladipo and Bennett. But when Parker showed up for his Cavs workout overweight, and with questions around the league regarding what position he plays, the comparisons to the Bennett situation last year were inevitable. And Gilbert apparently didn't want another replay of the Oladipo/Bennett situation.
Now the focus shifts to Wiggins and whether his presence, along with Kyrie Irving, can lure Miami Heat star LeBron James back to Cleveland. Within hours of becoming a member of the Cavs, Wiggins was asked repeatedly about the possibility of playing alongside James.
"I want to win," Wiggins said. "If he wants to win, we'd be good together."
James will become a free agent next week and the Cavs will push hard to re-sign him, but the 19-year-old Wiggins isn't going to start trying to recruit the world's best player.
"I wouldn't want to sell him on nothing. He's a grown man," Wiggins said. "He's going to follow wherever his heart is. I'd tell him to follow his heart and whatever he wants to do, go through with it."
Wiggins is electrifyingly athletic. He can run faster and soar higher than any other player in this draft. But the Cavs have concerns over how hard he plays and how much he'll develop offensively — although General Manager David Griffin told ESPN after the pick the Cavs view Wiggins' tenacious defense as a skill set.
He'll fit in immediately at small forward, filling a position that has been a glaring need since James departed four years ago.
Regardless of who the Cavs selected, they have a nucleus that can grow and win together if James returns or not. Certainly James would make them an instant contender, but provided Irving signs an extension this summer, the Cavs could eventually contend with Irving and Wiggins carrying the franchise.
"All our scouts felt he had the most upside," Griffin said of Wiggins. So did Gilbert.
Let's hope he's right.

Timber and board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product,we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.

Mayor Joe Piccolo and the city council are to be complimented for repairing and fixing the Newhouse Hotel on Main Street. In the past, the main floor of the building was occcupied by a drugs store at the main entrance on Main Street. The rooms upstairs were always used by renters. The basement was used for parties and dancing. Just south of the drug store on Carbon Aveneue was a Greek cafe. It was always busy and all the Greek men of the city would meet there very regularly to eat and visit.
Main Street will now be completely in A-1 condition. That mayor and city council are doing a good service for Price City citizens.

Road Radio USA Puts Western Pennsylvania Teens in the Driver's Seat to Warn Them About Risky Behaviors
Edgar Snyder & Associates and Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC partner on program
Pittsburgh, Pa. - March 26, 2007 -
Road Radio USA, an award-winning program geared toward preventing underage drinking and other destructive behaviors, is back for a second school year. The program will be presented to thousands of middle and high school students in western Pennsylvania this school year thanks to a partnership between the law offices of Edgar Snyder & Associates and Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
The Road Radio USA program is a simulated "live radio broadcast" founded by Jim Mothersbaugh, the survivor of an alcohol-related crash. Mothersbaugh incorporates music, lights, sounds and his own gripping, personal account of his crash in multimedia assembly that leaves students riveted. Steel Valley Middle School will host the program on Tuesday, March 27 at 1:30 p.m.
"We were happy to partner with Attorney Edgar Snyder for a second year to bring Road Radio USA to local schools because of the overwhelming success of the program last year," said Barbara A. Gaines, MD, director of the Benedum Trauma Program at Children's. "A program like this is important because it shows teens the dangers of engaging in risky behavior in a new way."
The Road Radio program addresses the consequences of destructive behaviors and teens' misconceptions about the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Questions are posed to Mothersbaugh from students who pretend to "call in" to the radio program. Mothersbaugh was a high school senior when he and three friends were involved in an alcohol-related crash. The crash killed one of his friends and left Mothersbaugh in a coma and paralyzed. He has since recovered, but continues to deal with memory loss, fatigue, cognitive problems and the psychological impact of the crash.
"If this program prevents just one young person in western Pennsylvania from abusing alcohol, it is well worth it," Attorney Edgar Snyder said.
Attorney Snyder has often times had to talk to the families of children who have been seriously hurt in accidents that could have been prevented if either the children or the adults involved had known just a little more about safety. That is why he and his wife collaborate with Children's not only with the Road Radio project, but also offer their ongoing support of the injury prevention program at Children's, he said.
Road Radio will be making a number of stops in the upcoming weeks, including:
|Steel Valley M.S.
1:30 p.m.
March 27
|Elizabeth Forward M.S.
10 a.m.
March 28
|Riverview M.S./H.S.
8 and 10:50 a.m.
March 29
|Rostraver M.S.
8 a.m.
April 26
|West Allegheny M.S.
9 a.m.
April 27
|Houston M.S.
2 p.m.
April 30
Editor's Note: Media interested in covering any of these Road Radio visits can call 412-692-5016 for more information.

Surrounded by debates pomegranate is one fruit that plays an important role in middle eastern and several Indian dishes. Be it the juice of pomegranate or its dried seeds, it is used in every form of cooking. The juice of pomegranate is reduced to make molasses. Against all odds one can`t deny how delightfully refreshing a glass of pomegranate juice can be on a hot sunny day.
Pomegranate juice is power packed with fibre and studies have revealed that a glass of pomegranate juice a day for two weeks can increase intimate desires in both men and women.
You can`t resist a glass of pomegranate juice and knowing to make one for yourself is an added delight and an easy make!
Mint leaves
Few pomegranate seeds
A dollop of strawberry icecream
1) To deseed pomegranate cut it into half; take a ladle and tap it on the side that has the skin holding it face down on your palm over a bowl. As you tap the upper skin the seeds will fall off. You might get most of the seeds out this way, the rest you can always pick out with your hand.
2) This juice can be made with water too. It would be a thinner version compared to this recipe.
3) You could add lemon juice, chaat powder and black salt to the above recipe omitting milk and adding water.
4) Blend it with some ice and select alcohol and you have an exotic cocktail. Team it up with select fruit juices and you have a mock tail. Add a dollop of your favourite strawberry or vanilla ice cream - you have a lovely smoothie.

Grantville Senior Center director honored
By REBECCA LEFTWICH
Susan Burdett arrived at Monday's Grantville City Council meeting prepared to give an update on the Grantville Senior Center, where she is director.
Instead, Burdett was praised for her 16 years of work with the town's senior citizens. Through a proclamation presented by Mayor Jim Sells and heartily backed by the council, Friday, Jan. 18 has been declared "Susan Burdett Day" in Grantville.
"I had no idea this was going on," Burdett said. "Thank you very much."
The proclamation recognized Burdett's ongoing efforts to provide Grantville's senior citizens with proper nutrition, activities, exercise, hobbies and community interaction – including those unable to leave their homes.
Last year, Burdett encouraged more than 30 Grantville seniors as they walked an average of 12,000 steps a day to help the Grantville Senior Center win the Southern Crescent/ Three Rivers Walk-A-Thon.
Grantville's center beat 13 other centers to claim several prizes, including a surprise day trip to Callaway Gardens complete with a catered meal from Rogers Barbecue. Therabands, exercise DVDs, a smoothie blender and a promise of a freezer full of smoothie fixings were presented to the Grantville participants.
"Some lowered their blood sugar and cholesterol, and some lost weight," Burdett said at the time. "As they were walking together, they were cutting up and having fun so they didn't even realize how much they were walking."
At Monday's meeting, Burdett announced her intention of coordinating a fall 2013 trip to Cape Cod for the town's seniors, 30 of whom already have committed to the excursion.
Susan Burdett Day is a time when "all of our people may join in recognizing (Burdett), who by faithful and loyal devotion to her responsibilities (has) rendered a dedicated service to this (community) and, in doing so, has established for herself an enviable and enduring reputation for performing her duties in an exemplary manner serving the needs of our senior citizens," according to the proclamation.

Juice Charity Challenge: Drink, paint and send some kids to camp
Published on June 10th, 2014 | by Josh Hafner
Have some drinks, paint with your friends and help people in need — it doesn't get much easier than that.
The first-ever Juice Charity Challenge is following challenge participant Karla Walsh and her team as she gears up for the 550 Relay, a nationwide series of marathons supporting people affected by cancer.
Walsh's feet will hit the ground running for the event's Iowa marathon from June 22 to the 25. That benefits the Livestrong Foundation and Camp Kesem, a nationwide camp for the children of parents with cancer.
RELATED: Meet the participants of the Juice Charity Challenge
After the marathon, though, Walsh and her team of Chris and Kaci Conetzky want to drink, paint and celebrate with you. All are invited to join for an evening of drinks and fine painting on June 26 at The Social Canvas (720 SE Alice's Road in Waukee) at 6 p.m.
In a group setting, guests will sip drinks and learn to paint their own work that they can later take home. The cost is $35, with $10 going toward the Livestrong Foundation and Camp Kesem. Registration is available online.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
The year began with a home invasion that left two Carbon residents badly beaten and two assailants in jail. The attack took place when the residents of a home on Birch Street were awakened early in the morning by the ringing of their door bell. When the man of the house opened the door he was pushed back into the room and beaten. The other assailant went into the bedroom and beat the man's wife and actually took a shot at her with a pistol. That bullet missed. The pair were later traced to Salt Lake and arrested and charged with assault with intent to commit murder.
In February, the Sun Advocate was sold by longtime publisher Hal G. MacKnight to a group of investors from California headed up by Robert L. Finney. Finney took over the job of publisher of the paper within the next month. MacKnight had been publisher or co-publisher (and owner) of the paper since 1934. Up until the present time no one person or entity has ever owned the paper for such a long period in its 120 year history.
In the same issue where the sale of the paper was announced, the military also said that they were extending the life of the Green River Missile Base into at least 1967. The plan was to launch another 36 test vehicles toward White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in that year. In November the military was able to launch three Athena rockets in one day (actually within six hours of each other) from the site, a first for anywhere in the world.
Also in February, the debate over whether natural gas franchises were going to be allowed in the county was coming to a head. On Feb. 24 the paper announced that petitions were being passed around Price to get a vote on the issue in a referendum in November. The idea of having natural gas piped into homes and businesses where coal, the main product of the area, would be replaced was repugnant to many in the county. The controversy had gone on for years at this point, but many people were interested in the possibility. But by mid-March the preponderance of petitions and the signatures on them led the Price City Council to have a meeting deciding whether to award a natural gas franchise to Mountain Fuel Supply (now Questar). At that time they adopted an ordinance to allow the gas company to come in and start signing people up and to start planning for the delivery system. It was the first break through for natural gas in the heart of Utah's coal country. But the ordinance still needed the vote of the populace to be allowed, so a date of July 12 was set for a referendum. However, in the April 14 issue of the Sun Advocate it was revealed by the city that the date may be changed because at the time the miners in the area had two periods of vacation which they could take from the mines and the July 12 date sat right in the middle of that time period. Opposition leaders to the gas franchise said that would keep miners from expressing their opinion on the subject. However the original date set was the date when the referendum took place and people in Price supported the ordinance by a vote of 1037 to 475. In August the county also granted Mountain Fuel the right to distribute in its jurisdiction. By October homes were being hooked up and gas was being supplied to customers in a number of areas.
That same issue of the paper also brought home the reality that boys from Carbon County were fighting a war in a far off land called Vietnam. It was the first report of an injury or death of a soldier from the area in the paper. The report said that Private First Class Charles D. Melkel of Dragerton was injured by a land mine in the war zone and was recovering from his injuries. It was the first announcement of its kind in the Sun Advocate during the Vietnam years, but not the last. In May it was announced that Kenneth Oliver of Wellington had also been wounded in the arm and hip and had been sent back to the United States to recover.
Also in April a fight broke out between local youths and some from the Job Corps Camp that was located south of Price at the time. According to the reports some young men in cars were taunting Job Corps enrollees in the area of Main Street and 100 East in Price. One of the Job Corps youths threw something at one of the cars and broke a window. A fist fight ensued, and soon many kids (estimated to be 75 to 100) had gathered around. Police arrived and broke up the fight, but then the crowd started to mix it up. Police said that many kinds of weapons appeared including everything from tire irons to chains. They were able to stop what could have turned into a riot. They arrested six people including two juveniles.
In early May the Greenwell Motel was robbed by two men from New York on May 3. The robbers used a rolled up magazine they said had a gun in it to steal money from the motel night attendants at about 11 p.m. As they made their get away the manager of the Greenwell Cafe was able to spot the car and gave police a description. They found the car parked at the Alpine Motel on the west end of town. There they took the two into custody and a third man as a material witness. No gun was found on the men, in the car or in their room.
Another robbery at Tom's Sinclair in east Price in June yielded two subjects who were arrested in Salt Lake. The attendant at the station was held at knife point while two men took $77 from the cash register and fled in a car driven by another man. The three also later robbed a station in Springville, but were apprehended early the next morning. All three were from Ohio.
In late June Liberty Fuel in Latuda closed. That also meant the town, which by that time only had a few residents left, was abandoned.
On July 28 the new Price Canyon highway was dedicated after a two year construction period. The nine mile, seven million dollar project was one of the most expensive two lane road projects ever built in Utah up until that time. While the road had been partially opened for the previous two weeks, the dedication ceremony officially finished the project. The ceremony took place just north of the Castle Gate formation and was headed up by an address by Gov. Calvin Rampton.
In August the first death of a local soldier fighting in Vietnam was announced. Marine Lance Corporal Richard P. Donathan, 22, of Helper was killed during fighting near Tam Ky.
At the end of August public school began, and with that the new Sally Mauro Elementary School in north Helper opened its doors. The school was built to replace the old Helper Central School that burned down two years before. The official dedication took place on Nov. 7.
The year ended with a cold winter setting in and a continuing fight about water rights between Sanpete and Carbon counties. On Dec. 15 attorneys for both sides argued the matter in front of the Utah Supreme Court. The arguments took place after talks about the issues involved broke down, talks that were ordered by the Supreme Court to try and resolve the issues beforehand. After the arguments before the court the governor appointed three engineers on Dec. 27 to try and settle the dispute by examining the information and arguments and by coming up with a solution.

No. 2 Heavy Oil is a wonderfully rich, deep conditioning oil. It is a great intensive oil treatment used either cold or heated to add needed oils back to skin, coat, mane and tail. It adds shine back to dried and damaged skin and hair while softening and adding vitality.
Professional grooms recommend using No. 2 Heavy Oil as a treatment after body clipping to condition skin, remove dandruff, restore the hair's natural color and remove any loose hair. It is particularly useful to blanket the horse afterwards and allow the heat from his body to help the oil deeply condition his coat and skin. Your horse's coat will never look healthier.
To use No. 2 Heavy oil, either apply by hand and/or towel or put in spray bottle to spray over horse.
No. 2 Heavy Oil is available in a 32 oz bottle.
- No. 2 Oil works wonderfully as a deep conditioner when hair is dry and brittle or after body clipping to combat dry, itchy skin and dandruff.
- Pour No. 2 Oil into a spray bottle and apply evenly and lightly over the horse's coat after body clipping. Put a horse blanket over the horse (one you don't mind getting a bit of oil on) and the horse's body heat will help the oil deep condition the hair.
- No. 2 Oil can be applied heated or just out of the bottle. To heat oil, place in a bucket of hot water. Make sure the oil it is not too hot to burn the horse. Heated oil works best to deep condition the tail.
- When conditioning the tail, braid and put it into a Shapley's Super Tail Bag.
"Thank you so much for No. 2 Heavy Oil! I have used it for years after body clipping to help bring out the rich dark luster in my bay's coat. People always ask how I get such a natural shine...and I smile...and keep my winning show secret to myself!"–- A.W.
"I have been using No. 2 Heavy Oil for years to help keep my mare's long, beautiful tail healthy. Once a week, I drop the bottle in a bucket of hot water and let it heat up. I apply to her tail and then let No. 2 Oil to its magic! The next day I wash my mare with Hi Shine and the results are unbelievable. Don't ever stop making this as my horse and myself would be lost without it!"–- P.P.
"Awesome conditioner for my sensitive thoroughbred. Thanks!"–- R.H.

I think we might be limiting ourselves, here. Who says there has to be one collective noun for zombies? They're such a varied creature.
If you wanted to follow an event timeline, you might start with A Disbelief of Zombies or A Shock of Zombies. As things progressed you would shift into A Mob of Zombies, A Hunger of Zombies or A Swell of Zombies. Towards the end, as things 'died' down or fell off, you could be looking at (depending on the means of ultimate demise) A Mess of Zombies, A Splatter of Zombies or An Extinction of Zombies.
You could look at it as a variety of things rather than one, like a flock of seagulls or a murder of crows - both of which are still birds. So you could have A Shuffle of Zombies, A Sprint of Zombies, A Creep of Zombies or A Stink of Zombies.
You could even go by genres, as we've probably all seen different types of zombies in different movies and tales. If you can only see the zombies in black and white, you've got A Romero of Zombies (only because A They're Coming To Get You Barbara of Zombies is too long). If they were brought about by infected blood, you're running from A Rage of Zombies. Resident Evil fan? That's A Contamination of Zombies. Peter Jackson fans will be watching Dead Alive and seeing A Pruning of Zombies. If you're into Shaun of the Dead, you start with a Giggle of Zombies and progress to a Guffaw of Zombies. If you're listening to Thriller, you've probably got a Choreography of Zombies on your hands.Originally posted by Craig B View PostBut I all think we can agree that it's an "Ineptitude of Clients"Originally posted by Lithonate View PostBoy, that really was relaxing!

Sunday is church and a neighbor's 4th birthday party (she's Luke's, sometime, wife). somewhere in there finding time to create my costume. (boat) and possibly sudden change of plans based on the bad news from earlier. (tonight going over friend's house to talk about the two events.)

The Opposite of Striving
She cannot lose. For months, this leader has experienced a flow of ease, a state that is spiritual and freeing. She doesn't need to strive to do anything and yet all the best happens around her; exactly as it should, with ease. Although her hours at work are long, she doesn't suffer, nor does her family in her absence. The time she spends with them is joyous and fulfilling.
She is in a state of grace.
I see it sometimes; grace bestowed on a leader who is following the path that is true and just. With a deep intention to follow the values that are key to staying on the right path, it all fits together and grace happens in its own time. Impatience, anxiety and striving do not exist for this leader, at this time.
This leader lives by the golden rule, treating each person around her as a unique human. Forgiving their mistakes, thanking them for their hard work, including them, making sure they are always learning and – by the way – paying them well. She doesn't do these things with the expectation of receiving something back. But she receives a surprise – the flow of grace, and business results that follow grace.
Have you experienced grace in your leadership?
Many of us have experienced it at some point. Although being in a state of grace has religious undertones, I think of it as inclusive of that (if that has meaning for you), yet broader. It is a spiritual experience; in a way that goes beyond our personal religious views and has meaning in the broadest of sense. It is the opposite of striving.
It happens when we are truly leading:
- When we balance our need to control with the marvel of letting go
- When we listen with heart and soul
- When we do the right thing, no matter the consequences
- When we are grateful for the gifts bestowed upon us
- When we lead with integrity, bringing our true selves and our core values to the workplace
- When we care for ourselves first and then care for others with our best self
I cannot describe what grace is very succinctly. But I know it when I see it and feel it. Perhaps you do too.
How have you experienced grace in your leadership? What are you doing that perpetuates it?
6 Responses to "The Opposite of Striving"
I learned from one of my senior colleagues that 'grace' is the rarest commodity available in today's business leadership – and is also most required one, because in leadership positions, we deal with people.
I define grace as:
1) The ease in being yourself
2) Doing your work (in a way that it looks like it is just flowing)
3) Respecting other individuals and their preferences
4) Knowing that your work has a deeper meaning.
5) Remaining integral (congruence between thoughts, words and deeds)
In my view, playing to your strengths and doing what you really love doing – over a long period results in a graceful conduct. That is the only way to perpetuate gracefulness. My $0.2
Beautifully put.
When you are in a state of grace, you are choosing inspired action. Choosing inspired action means two things:
(1) Select the one thing before you that you are inspired to do – that thing you really want to do the most.
(2) When you are not inspired to select any of the options you have before you, then listen to your intuition and have the courage to take a mental, mini-vacation (take a breath, BREATHE, then walk outside, meditate, get a drink of water, or listen to some lovely music).
When you give yourself this space, new options will become apparent and you may find one that sparkles with appeal and inspiration. Or you may need to extend your mini-vacation.
We all think we have to just "get it done." We live under the tyranny of the TO DO LIST. This is a costly illusion.
When we choose the inspired action over something we think we SHOULD do, synchronicity happens. Work gets done easily and much faster. So much more gets done. Others just happen to do things to assist you. Or things you did not want to do become unnecessary or done by someone else. And most importantly, we enjoy doing whatever it is we choose to do.
Experiment with this and keep track of the results. I have done this for 6 months and 100% of the time, when I choose inspired action, things turn out so much better for me and for all those around me!
Mary Jo,
I actually emailed myself the link to this posting yesterday at work so that I could take the time today to respond as I was so struck by the content.
It was also a bit serendipitous as I am working on a sermon for tomorrow that discusses James 4:13-17 and that planning and how tenuous and frail we are in that realm when we do it outside of God's will for us.
I believe grace in leadership is experienced when you are doing not only "what" God wants you to do but also doing it "how" He wants it done. I think we should be concerned much more about the how than the what in most cases. The reason being that we cannot control the what but we can control the how.
Covey's formula was E+R=O. Event + Response = Outcome. We cannot control events but we can (if we choose) control the response which then impacts the outcome.
I believe this is the fundamental difference between leaders and managers. 90% of what we do every day is managing and that is necessary to make things happen. The challenge is not to become so focused on managing that we do not notice the leadership opportunity when it arises. They are easy to overlook if you are not paying attention. The real challenge is that if you see it and are able to engage a person or team and provide some leadership, that 15 minutes will be more valuable and have a larger impact than the other 7 hours and 45 minutes you spent managing.
Thanks for posting this and being willing to describe the true issues in leadership. I agree that "grace" is so hard to describe but you will know the grace of leadership when you experience first-hand. In fact, I believe that is what keeps leaders seeking the next opportunity…we all want to experience that feeling as often as we can.

October 9, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT)- A Central Kentucky mother says she's furious that the man accused of seriously injuring her son now faces a lesser charge.
In June, Lexington police say Victor Dykes was punched, and knocked out outside a pizza restaurant.
He spent weeks at UK hospital and Cardinal Hill rehabilitation hospital and returned home Thursday.
Police charged 24 year-old Aaron Carrithers with first degree assault for the attack but recently, a grand jury indicted him on a reduced charge of second degree assault.
"I'm sure he didn't go out that night saying I'm going to hit someone with that knock out hit and I'm going to knock him flat but I'm sure Aaron didn't plan on doing that but he made a bad decision and I firmly believe in paying in the decision that you make," Lillian Stinnett, Dykes' mother said.
Carrithers will be arraigned next week.
Dykes' mother says her son is still dealing with brain damage and other injuries from being punched.

American Idol: Nooooooooooooooo!
In what can only be described as the most upsetting moment in my musical/variety/game show existence, Chris Daughtry has been eliminated from American Idol. This is a disaster! I am
angry pissed. I am absolutely at a loss for words. I know it's only a TV show and I shouldn't be so upset by it, but I am. It wasn't his time to go. He should have won. He was my next American Idol.
And I hate the way that it happened. It all happened too fast; it didn't even seem real. Ryan paired Elliott and Taylor together, then Katharine and Chris. Elliott and Taylor were safe. And then ... then ... then ... before I could even register what was going on, Seacrest half-ass mumbles, "Chris, a lot of people thought you'd be the next American Idol, but you're going home tonight." It was horribly shocking, and not in the good way that Lost is shocking. This is bull crap. This is a big pile of crap. This is a big pile of crap, piled on top of more crap, and Ryan Seacrest is on top of that pile of crap. It should have been Elliott for his weeks and weeks of not bringing it. Or, if we are going by an isolated bad night, then it should have been Katharine. But Chris? No, not Chris. It wasn't his time. It wasn't his time. It wasn't his time!
