Memoirs of a yoga festival virgin
Photo: Darrin Harris Frisby
I guess you could call me yoga festival virgin.
I came to the first-annual Hanuman Festival feeling a mix of youthful giddiness and quiet ambivalence. While excited for the opportunity to connect with old friends and support two amazing yogis bringing their inspired vision into reality as a member of the media team, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. To be honest, the very notion of a yoga festival brought up questions in my mind about the intentions behind such gatherings and the meaning of community.
What am I getting myself into?, I wondered. Beneath all my excited anticipation was an internal skeptic that had kicked into high gear, wondering if I really wanted "in" on this at all. What if these yoga festivals were just a big, expensive excuse to party — a bunch of yogis getting together to let loose under the guise of spiritual and professional development? Why was I coming all the way across the nation to do yoga and listen to music? Did I not value the teachers and artists in my local community enough to do something like this in the less glamorous arena of my own backyard?
Photo: Carl Kerridge
I was a little afraid to utter these questions aloud at first. You see, I've always been an avid questioner, and sometimes my fiery curiosity gets me into trouble. I don't ask questions to challenge or criticize, but sometimes I think people read it that way, and the very act of my questioning comes off as an an attack. Fortunately, when I did have the courage to express what was on my mind, I discovered a gathering of souls who were not only open to inquiry, but excited to engage in dialogue themselves.
Thanks to the diverse amalgam of people who attend these types of festivals — from asana-junkies, to Buddhist meditators, to conscious entrepreneurs, to artists and musicians — there was an open space for conversation, an invitation for people of all walks of life to share in their experience. "Who are you?" "What brings you here?" "What lights you up in life?" When you begin a conversation with questions like that, it doesn't matter how different two people are. You're speaking from the heart, and from that place we're all the same.
Photo: Darrin Harris Frisby
What I discovered at Hanuman was a palpable energy, a vibration if you will, that expanded my own beliefs about what it means to be in community. To share a bit of my own personal process, I've spent the past few years of my life grappling with this terrible feeling of being an outsider in my own skin. I've found myself wandering from place to place, knocking on the doors of overflowing inns like Mary and Joseph, asking the same question over and over again: Is there room for me here? Do I belong?
When I do find an open door, I've noticed that I often can't bring myself to completely root down into the community that's welcomed me in. That's put me in an interesting position of now having my feet planted in many different communities — I've practiced at yoga studios all over town, I juggle a bunch of different jobs, I often spend every holiday with a different family. I've wondered whether my tendency to shift from place to place reflects a sort of flightiness on my part — whether there's something going on within that makes it difficult for me to ground down, settle, and really grow into intimacy with one single community.
Photo: Doug Ellis
But at the same time, it's after experiences like the one I had at Hanuman Festival that I begin to wonder whether its the very definition of community I've been taught that's the problem. Especially when we have modern technologies like Skype and Facebook to forge and maintain relationships with people all over the world, why is our sense of community limited to a specific geographic area or place of employment or cultural background or style of yoga? This assumption — that we need to support and cultivate community only with the people near and like us — ultimately only creates more division in the broader human family we're all a part of. And it's at an event like a yoga festival that you realize that all those barriers are really meaningless in the presence of pure and unconditional Love.
What I found at the Hanuman Festival was a sense of belonging that transcends all the boundaries we've created to divide and subjugate ourselves from one another.
I sunk into the warm embrace of friends who had previously only existed to me in the two dimensions of the online world. I danced in pure ecstasy with people I never could have imagined sharing that space with, tapping into a powerful, unifying rhythm that still pulses in the walls of my heart. I gazed into the eyes of people I'd only known a few hours and saw my own light reflected back. Essentially, I realized that the longing to belong that's torn at my heart for years now was rooted in a misconstrued sense of what it means to be in community in the first place.

If I belong anywhere, it's in my own skin. The community I'm a part of is not defined by blood ties, yoga styles, or what I do for a living… it's a global, universal, paradoxically internal and macrocosmic community that includes all living beings on this earth. When I feel rejected, lonely, unsure of who I am and where I belong, all I have to do is turn my gaze inside. I have a mini Waylon Lewis in my own heart. I carry the mother I often long for in my capacity to love and nurture myself. I maintain my connection to the people who have broken my heart, to the communities I no longer play an active role in when I draw from the lessons they taught me — the good and "funky" ones alike.
At Hanuman, I realized I belong because I am. And I am because we are. Jai Hanuman.

This post really resonated, especially: "When I do find an open door, I've noticed that I often can't bring myself to completely root down into the community that's welcomed me in. That's put me in an interesting position of now having my feet planted in many different communities —" If one has many interests or is pulled in different directions, it can be a bit of a dance. The communities I participate in at various levels, from leader to periodic bystander, all nourish me. I could not imagine giving any one of them up for another; they aren't substitutes or equivalent. Ego wants me to try to be at the center of all of them, which is not realistic or desirable; instead, I am constantly checking in with myself about where to focus time and energy, hoping that over time it will balance out.
Hi Chelsea. I really love this. I feel like this resonated with me on so many different levels – meeting new people, attending workshops, should I get married, should I have children, etc, etc, all the things that potentially could make me grow roots. I've also found that I have a hard time putting myself into any box – it's been this way my whole life. I love your conclusion that 'if I belong anywhere, it's in my own skin' – it's taken me a long time to realize that. Thank you for this.

"Ski like a local…Wear a helmet. is the slogan for this year's effort by the Vermont Snow Sports Research Team to get every skier and snowboarder to wear a helmet while on the slopes. The Vermont Snow Sports Research Team is a partnership of Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care and the University of Vermont College of Medicine.
The team is in the midst of a multi-year study, funded by the Vermont Department of Health and the Children's Miracle Network, which is examining trends in helmet use among skiers and snowboarders.
Despite beefing up safety standards, Keystone Resort, CO records the first ski-related death of the season.
In step with the NSAA safety initiative, Vail Resorts has created an on-slope patrol to enforce safe skiing and to curb reckless behavior.

Student Choices: My Poster; My Identity
Wednesday, Apr. 29, 2009
This case, one in a series by the Ethics Center, raises a common ethical issue that students must confront: What to do when dorm room self-expression offends others:
Mary lives in a college dorm and displays a "Yes on Prop 8" poster on her door, showing her support for the California ballot proposition banning gay marriage. James, her dorm neighbor, finds this poster offensive and demands Mary take it down. James worked for the defeat of the measure and feels the "Yes on 8" campaign was homophobic and discriminatory. Mary feels the poster is an expression of her beliefs and identity and that she shouldn't have to remove it.

The recent canyon trip photo report mentions that Jay had a sub 10 oz cut down thermarest pad. I'm wondering if Jay or anybody who has tried this could elaborate on the technique for doing the mod. I would imagine you would just cut the pad down leaving some of the surface material and gluing that down again with something like epoxy or contact cement?Dan
I have a thermarest ridgeRest pad that i used to use with my GoLite Breeze.Simply cut it down to the desired length to reduce the weight by cutting the desired number of inches off of the foot end of the pad by cutting straight across the pad. The "cut-down" is not a vertical/thickness cut-down. It is a length cut-down.Furthermore, you could also reduce the wt. a little bit further, by cutting a "mummy" type of shape off of the remaining rectangular pad. That is, cut the four rectangular corners off the remaining pad, which was just previously cut-down to a shorter length, by making angular cuts. I know this description is NOT very clear, so go to the POE website & look at their pads - they come mfr'd with that "mummy" cut shape.You can weight the end result (the best way to determine the wt) or if you leave it in a rectangular, non-mummy shape, it's a simple linear calculation to calculate the wt. of the cut down pad. e.g., using a standard ridgerest's published figure14oz*new-length-in-inches/72inches =new wt.conversely, you could work the equation backwards, picking a new "target" wt & then solve the equation algebraicly for the "new length".
Edited by pj on 06/28/2005 12:44:30 MDT.
According to the article, Jay had cut down and old style Therm-a-Rest UltraLight 3/4. Isn't the 10 oz BMW TorsoLite sold on BPL (www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/torsolite_inflatable_sleeping_pad.html?id=XbWVX8pm:126.96.36.199) almost the equivalent to a self inflating Thermarest Matress with a surface and inner foam similar to the older UltraLight (instead of the newer Prolite 3 and 4)? Though presently out of stock, a members price of $58.79, and if you can deal with the 32" length this may be the way to go.
Edited by naturephoto1 on 06/28/2005 13:13:32 MDT.
I had a ridge rest but just couldn't get comfortable on it (or foam pads in general). I just recently purchased the torsolite pad and have used it a couple of times. I also have a prolite 3 Short. The Torsolite is comfortable and compared to the thermarest seems more durable (shell material) and the foam firmer, probably due to the less aggressive die cut foam compared to the thermarest.However, the 3/4 length thermarest is only 3 oz heavier than the torsolite but considerably larger. On a "per length basis" it's lighter (and I would imagine less durable and colder).Still, I was thinking a prolite 3 cut down to the torsolite's dimensions would be a bit lighter, maybe in the 8 oz range.CheersDan
Hi Dan,Personally in a previous generation of the 3/4 Ultralight Thermarest, I found the pad a little uncomfortable due to the thickness (1"). That is partly why I purchased a Prolite 4 3/4 length Thermarest. The Prolite 4 3/4 is thicker (1 1/2") and more comfortable, (but another 3 oz heavier) than the Prolite 3 3/4.You are correct about the surface of the newer Prolite Series are not as rugged and because of the more aggressive die cut foam of the Prolite 3 and 4 are not as firm or as warm (have a lower R value) as the older Ultralight and Guidelight Pads that they replaced. Another reason I had purchased the Prolite 4 3/4 when the Ultralight 3/4 were being cleared out was it was 1 oz heavier, thicker with what may have been a higher R value than the Ultralight.
Edited by naturephoto1 on 06/28/2005 13:55:03 MDT.
The cut down Thermarest mentioned in Carol's article was a 3/4 length Thermarest UL purchased on-sale ($35) just as the Prolite pads were hitting the market. I wanted a pad that was lighter and shorter, but the standard width to fit in UL packs that incorporate your sleep pad for the frame; specifically the Starlite and Mariposa.I cut the pad down and resealed it. The real trick is getting the pad to reseal and not melting the fabric. The open cell foam inside is adhered to the fabric and prevents the fabric from resealing unless it is completely removed. I have some pieces of older and newer Thermarest pad that I am experimenting with to see if my resealing technique works universally or not. Look for a Make Your Own Gear article on it in a few months. The Torsolite is a great option. Even though my wider, cut-down Thermarest weighs about the same, the Torsolite is actually a bit more comfortable and durable. It works fine in the Mariposa, but not so well in the Starlite. Jay Ham
Edited by jham on 06/28/2005 14:31:10 MDT.
I experimented with cutting down a Thermarest before buying a Torsolite. I used the heat bond glue that thermarest sells in repair kits. After several attempts (and purchases of more repair kits) I couldn't get it to be 100% airtight. As I found out about 2 am the last time I tried to use it. The repair kit instructions suggest using the pot that you used to warm up the glue as an "iron" to smooth out the seam. It was hard to get a consistent straight seam with the curved pot edge. I tried an electric iron protected by tin foil but it didn't work very well. (I also kept thinking how I was going to explain getting glue all over my wife's iron...) When done right the glue works-it's just devilish hard to apply consistently along a long seam. I would finish the job, find a pin hole leak by testing in water-then reapply heat to seal the leak-only to open up the seam for a 3 inch section. Much cursing would result. I decided it was time to pay someone to make a better inflatable pad.
Jay,thanks for clarifying for me (& everyone else). have never seen this pad. sounds like a bit of work to modify it as you did. you must have done a good job since it isn't springing any leaks on (under) you.Daniel,sorry to have confused the issue for you.I would agree with a prev. poster that the BMW TorsoLite is a much more robust & comfortable self-inflating pad than the ProLite3. IMHO, there is no comparison b/t the two pads. However, three of my co-workers love the Prolite3 however (one of them bought mine). The robustness & comfort of the Torsolite comes at a expense of some wt. though (i.e. wt given its size, not its absolute wt.). So, how many ounces is a good night's sleep worth? I'll take the good night sleep over a few ounces saved.
For those interested in resealing a ThermaRest, we're pushing ahead with the Thermarest reshaping article. It's in the hands of BPL's editorial staff to be published late August/early September. Oh, and I tested my technique on some Prolite 3 samples. The results are in the article.JayBPL

Irish Internet Radio and TV from Dublin, Ireland.
Kevin Burke's new album is entitled, Suite. The first thing you are going to have to do is drop the idea that you know what a Kevin Burke album will sound like. Any reader of this site knows, or should know, who Kevin Burke is. The credentials speak for themselves. Of course, he was the fiddler for the iconic Bothy Band of the early 70's. The Bothy Band was one of the progenitors of a resurgent traditional music era that has only grown since the band was joined by the likes of Planxty and DeDannan in re-energizing the form. The reader is also aware of Patrick Street, another touchstone of modern traditional music. In the mid-80's, the group was the hottest thing on the scene, and their first two albums, especially, are still being studied and emulated by a wide host of younger musicians. At the epicenter of both groups was Kevin Burke. His light, yet perfectly rhythmic bow technique and musical phraseology is the starting point for literally thousands of fiddlers who have been influenced by his musical taste. But, to a large extent, forget all that. This is no historical review of those groups or Kevin's career. This is about today, and it is about Suite.
There are nine instrumentals on the album. Five of them are typical in the respect that they feature Kevin's deft traditional hand at work. In three of those tunes he is joined by the group, Beoga. "I met them a few years ago during a tour of Germany," reminisces Kevin. " I remember thinking 'Wow! What a group!' I really enjoyed their style and approach. I knew I wanted them to be a part of this album." Joined by Suite co-creator and musician Cal Scott on guitar, almost all the tunes in these five cuts are by Cal or Kevin. Very traditional in flavor. They range from the lilting, Stella's Waltz to an opening set of three jigs, featuring a tune penned by Kevin, one by Cal and one by the late Seamus Creagh. In fact, nothing comes more naturally to Cal Scott than penning new music. He has written scores for movies, and over 50 PBS programs and documentaries! A co-resident with Kevin of Portland, Oregon, it was, in fact, one of those documentaries where Cal first met Kevin in 1995. Entitled, The Road to Bloody Sunday, the film concerned that infamous Sunday during The Troubles. "I was well aware of Kevin, and wanted him in a featured musical role for the program, and we have been friends ever since," reflects Cal.
For years then, the two had been discussing an idea formed in Kevin's mind for a long time. That idea was the mixing of Irish traditional and classical music. Trained classically as a young man in his native London by his fondly remembered teacher, Jesse Christopherson, Kevin used his classical training as a parentally encouraged entry point to traditional music. "I was studying classical music, sort of like doing my homework. Then on the weekend, it was off to constant sessions like those held at The White Hart," remembers Kevin. Surely, that early classical training was a crucial element to the famous Burke approach of the gentle bow combining with his well known swing and lift in the music. Like the center of a large circle, the Cal and Kevin's conversations would return and return to the essential idea—the combination of classical and Irish traditional music. Ideas began to take on a more concrete form. Specifics emerged, not just the concept anymore, but a gathering plan and approach. Of course, this is easy to write down in a sentence but there were hundreds of conversations involved over several years. This was to be no hastily thrown together collection of tunes with some offbeat gimmick. This was, actually, a scholarly approach to the whole project. It is also easy to say, "let's combine classical and trad."
But, how? What trad, and what classical? "We ended up fusing the ideas around what now seems like a natural decision, to combine traditional music with a chamber quartet," says Kevin. This is unique. Altan's recently released 25th anniversary album features a mix of their tunes and songs with the RTE orchestra backing them up. The West Ocean String Quartet in Ireland is a famous working chamber group, but it does not utilize traditional music, as such. "I had the idea," continues Kevin, "that I wanted to merge the chamber orchestra approach with real Irish session tunes. Famous tunes. That way, if all this worked out, no one could say we had taken the easy way out by recording some O'Carolan or O'Riada tunes." Cal adds, "Haydn developed the string quartet in the 1750's which was also a time when there was a great deal of music coming forth in the Irish forms of the day, so this is not as far a stretch as it might seem. We decided each tune would be interesting in and of itself, all with different keys and ambiences in a harmonic approach." Kevin laughs, "We wanted to make it so natural that you could actually envision going to a session and having a chamber orchestral tune break out!"
As stated earlier, this is a lot easier to write about and remember than the actual doing of it. Cal Scott is an immaculate arranger, and so each note, each key, each shift was well considered before being added. Two violins---one of them Kevin, a viola and a cello do not exactly scream, "Irish Trad!!!" Probably the biggest compliment to this whole creation would be that when heard, there is an ease of one form complementing the other. This is due to a lot of work and arranging by Cal and the perfectly suitable playing of Kevin. It would seem on the surface, that Kevin's style of playing would be perfectly suited to the chamber orchestra format. Well, it would seem that way, "Actually, I had to really power up my playing, "says Kevin. "Classical music is now played very forcefully, and a chamber orchestra can really blow you out of the studio if you are not ready!"
So. Three tunes with Beoga, including Cal Scott on guitar. Then, the four movements of the suite, as in the album title. The album, and its full context, must be taken as a whole. This is, actually, two albums in one. To hear reels such as The Boys of Ballisadore and The Galway Rambler mixing with the hornpipe, Kitty O'Neill and the air, Cailin Deas Cruithena mBo is a treat. To hear how naturally the two forms mix is a miracle. And, like almost all miracles, it was brought on by a lot of sweat. This is a groundbreaking and original album, centering around a couple of very old forms of music. As with all innovative creations that work, the listener will wonder why this all took so long. Well, the important thing is that it is here now. Available through Loftus Music at loftusmusic.com or kevinburke.com.

This article is reprinted by permission from NextAvenue.org.
A review at the start of the year will reveal if you need to take steps to make yourself a more valuable worker or job candidate — or just happier. If you determine you're not quite where you ought to be, you can then take the steps I note below to get there.
2014 could be an especially good year to make a job change, if you're so inclined or you must. Economists cited in a recent Wall Street Journal report said they expect the U.S. to add nearly 198,000 jobs a month this year — that's the highest estimate since 2005.
7 ways to give yourself a career checkup
Here are seven ways to help jump-start your career in 2014:
1. Reflect on the year just ended. At your annual physical, your doctor begins by asking open-ended questions like: "How's everything going?" "Been feeling OK?" "Any complaints?" It's a chance for you to take stock and pay attention to your body's warning signs. Asking the same types of questions can be equally helpful for your career, allowing you to gain clarity about where you want to head and what you'd like to accomplish in the year to come.
Ask yourself these questions:
- How do I feel about my job? If you answer with words like "bored" or "frustrated," this might be the year to think about looking for work or asking for a transfer.
- Am I satisfied with my work/life balance? If not, try to determine what's causing your pain and then try to come up with possible solutions. For example, if your commute puts you in a foul mood by cutting into your free time, perhaps you can ask to work from home at least one day a week.
- If I were to compile a 2013 highlights reel, what would be on my "Top 10" accomplishments? These can reveal interesting patterns about your strengths, interests and abilities and suggest what to focus on in 2014.
To do: Write down a one-page summary of what you'd like to change or achieve in your career in the coming year as well as a list of your recent accomplishments and professional-development activities (training sessions, conferences, association meetings, workshops). By doing so, you'll have this key information at the ready if you need it for your performance review or to apply for a new job.
2. Update your career marketing materials. You never know when the perfect job opportunity might surface. When it does, you'll need to be prepared to respond. Take time now to revamp and update your career marketing materials like your résumé and LinkedIn profile so they accurately reflect your current career status and objectives.
To do: After completing this task, make a notation on your calendar to update your marketing materials again in July (or sooner if circumstances warrant), so you'll continually keep them fresh.
3. Identify opportunities for professional development and training. Your career review might reveal areas that could use some attention. Ask yourself: What do I need to do to improve my marketability and performance in the coming year?
To do: Set aside a few hours to research educational offerings (college classes, online training programs, continuing education workshops, etc.), conferences and other opportunities for professional development. Try to sign up for at least one new course in the year ahead. Don't forget to see whether your employer might subsidize the cost of your training.
4. Audit your digital footprint. Every time you make a comment on a blog, post a photo or do anything online you leave a trail of personal information on the web. Sometimes, that online behavior can be problematic because it sends the wrong message about you to prospective employers.
Other things that show up online when someone Googles you could be troublesome, too, such as lawsuits and even records of your campaign contributions (some employers won't hire partisans).
In the next week or so, review, and if necessary, clean up your digital footprint.

Easter Island
Easter Island is one of the world's most isolated inhabited islands and is located at the southeastern most point of the Polynesian triangle in the Pacific Ocean, being a Polynesian island annexed in 1888 to Chile with the status of special territory.
What is so famous about the Easter Island is not the location but the 887 monumental statues called moai, carved by the early Rapanui people from 1100 to 1680 CE and representing different figures kneeling on knees with their hands over their stomachs, some torsos being buried in the ground up to their necks. Some statues have eyes painted with a white color made of corals while the iris was made of red scoria or obsidian.
Today, this site is included in the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites and almost all the island is protected within the Rapa Nui National Park.
The Polynesian name of the island, "Rapa Nui" or "Big Rapa" was coined after the slave raids of the early 1860s because of this island's geographic resemblance to the island of Rapa in the Bass Islands of the Austral Islands group and the name of Easter Island originated from the Dutch name Paasch-Eyland, given by the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, the island's first recorded European visitor who in 1722, on Easter Sunday, encountered it while searching for Davis or David's island.
Easter Island is a volcanic high island and the underlying geology is one of extinct volcanoes with Poike and Rano Kau volcanoes forming the southern and eastern headlands and the Terevaka forming the bulk of the island.
Easter Island and the tiny Isla Sala y Gómez, located 415 kilometres further east are recognized as distinct ecoregions by all the world's ecologists because of the Rapa Nui subtropical broadleaf forests.
Ahu are stone platforms, evolving from the traditional Polynesian marae, varying greatly in layout and mostly found on the coast. The ahu is by definition a small structure sometimes covered with a thatched roof where sacred objects, including statues, were stored and the most important ahu with moai are Ahu Tongariki, Nau Nau at Anakena or Ahu Akivi.
The common elements describing the ahu are the front wall made of rectangular basalt slabs called paenga, the alignment of stones before the ramp, a retaining rear wall several feet high, usually facing the sea and the marae which was a paved plaza before the ahu. The biggest ahu is 220 meters long from one end of the platform to the other and holds 15 statues some of which are 9 meters high. All of the sites can be visited for free but remember that it is a sign of disrespect to walk on the Ahu.
Another important site where you can digest the great masonry of the early islanders is the rear wall of the ahu at Vinapu, similar to the Inca stone wall in South America and made without mortar by shaping hard basalt rocks of up to seven tons to match each other exactly.
Petroglyphs or the pictures carved into rock are quite common on Easter Island and to this date more than 4,000 petroglyphes found in 1,000 sites are catalogued.
Interesting are also the Tupa, stone structures located near the coast and inhabited by astronomer-priests but also the hare oka houses, a round stone structure or the hare paenga houses with an elliptical foundation, made with basalt slabs and covered with a thatched roof that resembled an overturned boat.
Every year, in the month of February, you can participate to the Tapani or the Festival held for celebrating the Rapanui culture, becoming very popular since its beginning in 1975 and sponsored by the Rapanui.
Easter Island has an extensive cave system so the snorkeling and the scuba diving remains one important tourist attraction, especially near the islets Motu Nui and Motu Iti, located 1 km south of the island.
Easter Island is extremely small so you can visit it by simply walking but there are also car rental locations or you can rent daily bicycles or dirtbikes. For the motorbikes and the motor scooter you will need a valid driver's license specifically for these vehicles.
Easter Island is an expensive place and if you decide to leave take the LAN airline to head to westward to Tahiti or in the east direction, to Santiago de Chile and if departing for a foreign country from the airport you have to pay in cash as mall exit fee.11

it is common for mom to take a bath together naked with my two year old girl? if man does the same taking a bath with his 2 year old son, he would be accused of indecent exposure to minor. Again, I don't agree with my wife taking a bath together with my little one. Tell me if this happen to you.

Community Rating: Community Star
A 2 year old doesn't know the difference. When my son was little, I would put him at the back of the tub and I would take my shower and then wash him. SO much quicker and easier that way. He would play with his water toys and whatever and the water would hit his head and he didn't mind. I stopped when he was four as he made some comment to me and I thought, 'ok, we're done with this now.' I tried the same thing when my daughter was little but the little bugger didn't like the water hitting her head and running down her face. I don't remember ever taking baths with them but like I said, they don't know anything when they're only 2 so it's all good for another year or two.
- Response by raynonme, A Trendsetter, Female, 46-55, Managerial
I would not take a bath with my children of any gender unless I were wearing a bathing suit.

At 2yrs old its not a big deal for either parent to bathe with their kid. 5yrs old might be a different story.
- Response by clueless37, An Alternative Girl, Female, 46-55, Celebrity
I never took baths with my children. But when they were 3 I took showers with them to show them how to wash their hair and their bodies themselves.

There is nothing wrong with that. Millions of parents do it.
- Response by justpassingthru, A Thinker, Female, 56-65, Financial / Banking
there are a lot of healthy well adjusted people that took baths and showers with there partents until they were much older
- Response by morningdust, A Creative, Female, 56-65, Self-Employed
Many guys have bathed with their children, both female and male, and not been thought of as perverted by their spouse or family. It's a cultural thing for some. I was home more with my daughter because I worked from home most of the time. I would shower with my daughter when she was 2, and I'm a male. Sometimes, it was the only time we were going to get clean. My neighbor and daughter's best friend mother would shower with her two children, both male and female. They were 4 and 6. It's no big deal at that age.
- Response by rhunt0210, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 46-55, Other Profession
Listen, it seems like you have some latent sexual issues that you need to overcome or deal with. Bathing and showering with small children should not make you appear to be a pervert, unless your sexuality is threatened or view your children as sexual objects. As I mentioned before, I showered with my daughter, and I've known women that have showered with their small sons and daughters. It's no big deal. If I can change a diaper and teach her how to go potty, then why would showering with her when she was small matter? Newsflash, I was in the maternity room when she was born. I'm her father, not lover or potential boyfriend. Only someone with sexual issues would be threatened by such a thing. Isn't it interesting that your wife doesn't see things your way. If you were to divorce, do you even think that the judge would weigh this issue against her? I believe that you're either very young or need to see a therapist about your concerns. You're going to raise a sexually repressed child or children who's afraid of their own bodies.

oh get over yourself.

I actually bathed with my sons until they were about 3. They don't look too warped.

Me and my husband both would take a bath with our children.When my son started to realize gender about 3 I stopped.If you realy don't like talk about it with your wife.I found it to be very bounding.As I.m sure she does.good luck
- Response by smom, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 36-45, Medical / Dental
WTF? How many updates are you going to send, saying the same thing? And just because someone isn't a parent doesn't mean they don't have valuable insights to offer. If anyone is looking "stupid in cyber space" it sure ain't the people who have replied to you.

And now I get to spend the day cuddling and taking care of my new goldfish, Yakko, Wakko and Dot.View Thread
And I lose words all the time. It's frustrating because words have always been my thing. I used to be a walking dictionary, and now I have trouble putting together sentences. But it's just the fog, and I've noticed I lose fewer words when I'm less foggy.View Thread
I do know, however, that both I and my mother have this annoying problem where our eyesight changes slightly when we're in a flare, and our eyes are really sensitive, so a prescription that's off just a smidge causes awful headaches.
As for night vision, my mother's has always been terrible, and mine is fantastic, so our combined experiences don't really point towards fibro having anything to do with it.
Hope you destress and are able to get to sleep soon!View Thread
And I have to say, I have the best of friends. The responses ranged from telling me that I am made of win, apologizing for not keeping in touch and offering to keep me in their prayers, to thanking me for helping them to understand fibromyalgia a little bit more and telling me that they admire me and cherish our friendship.
They've been nothing but supportive and wonderful and made me cry happy tears. I really am blessed to have a group of friends so wonderful as this. It makes me think that maybe things are gonna be a lot less frustrating than I'd anticipated. View Thread
Well, maybe one fun one. Potentially. I would like to take up busking when I head back to Chicago for school. I think it'd be fun. View Thread
As much as I'd like to have something that was more well-known and better understood, I wouldn't trade the fibro for anything (other than not having it, but hey, wouldn't we all?). If I'm going to have something chronic and difficult to deal with, I'd rather it be something non-degenerative, which will force me to take care of myself and make me appreciate the little things in life more.
And that's what having fibromyalgia has done for me. Yes, I occasionally deal with bouts of depression because of it. But I get through them and rise above it and thrive, not because I'm not suffering, but because I can. Despite everything, I can. And that's important to me. I'm learning to manage my symptoms, and the better I get at it, the more I can do.I have a million silly little things I want to do, and there's still the chance to go out there and do them. That is important to me.
Fibromyalgia may be awful at best, but it hasn't taken away my freedom, and I can keep it from getting in the way of simply being me.View Thread
That's how I look at it, anyway. It makes life seem a lot cheerier.
I suggest having a look around here, trying to find a primary care doctor who will work with you to find the right solutions to manage your symptoms, and going to the library and reading all the books they have on fibromyalgia. And that's just the start.
The thing about fibromyalgia is that it effects everyone differently. So you get to be your own doctor. Learn to listen to your body, figure out what makes your symptoms worse, what helps, and be prepared to make big lifestyle changes. Talk to people to get ideas for what you can try. Some people might suggest medications that they find help them, whereas someone like me will point you in the direction of dietary changes and herbal remedies.
But don't worry. Like I said, it's an adventure, but it's not one you're having alone. We're all in it with you, after all, even if our maps are different than yours. View Thread
But it got better. I tackled it head-on, found out what was causing the memory problems. For me, it was caffeine. I think. It could have just been chocolate in general, since that was where I got all my caffeine, but within days of cutting it completely from my diet, I found my memory getting better. I was also sleeping better, which sped along the process, I'm sure.
Since then, I've been keeping a daily health and self-care journal, and noting my forgetfulness. It definitely comes and goes, some days worse than others. Thankfully nothing so bad as this past semester.
It's definitely scary, and I think it would be a good idea to talk to your husband about it. I've found talking to someone always helps me deal with the scary stuff. Especially when I'm having memory problems that are getting in the way of trying to find a solution. I talked to my mom (a fellow fibromite) about it when my memory got bad, and she knew exactly what I was going through because it had happened to her once before, and knowing that really helped me be less scared.
I do hope your memory improves soon! Until then, sticky notes. Sticky notes everywhere. ((gentle hugs))View Thread

I cannot rave enough about this powder. I was looking for something that was natural, but at the same time controlled shine, and boy did it get the job done. It leaves a beautiful matte finish when applied to shine prone areas, but it's not obvious that you're wearing powder at all and gives you beautiful flawless skin. Love love this product, will definitely buy when i run out (which i suspect would be a long time) and the packaging sure does look sexy.

I use this powder daily to set my foundation. It gives my skin a beautiful, flawless, natural looking finish. Unless it's particularly hot or humid, I can usually go all day without any touch-ups. It does not cause breakouts, clogged pores, or irritation for me. It also photographs beautifully with absolutely no white cast.

I have this in DORE 3 and I love this. I set my cream to powder with it and use it as a touch up powder through the day. I used to use Chanel's Double Perfection til they reformulated and it never was the same, but they have the best quality ingredients and this is the same as a blotting powder, but so much better. I need only touch up maybe once or twice with this in the Las Vegas heat!

I use the mat lumiere foundation from chanel, and it usually starts to melt after 4 to 5 hours. But if i apply this powder over my foundation, it gives me a mat finish and my makeup stays for the whole day! i think it works really well to control the shine

This powder does not melt into your skin - it sits on top of it looking very unnatural. Even when applied lightly with a brush it just doesn't blend well.

I have used this product for years and had been satisfied up until recently. For some reason, I have the lightest translucent but it becomes mask-like on me and is sitting more and more in my pores and creates a mask of lines all over the place. Some would say that I am getting older, but without makeup my skin is smooth and when I use Dior or Guerlain, my skin is pretty, so it must be the product. The colour is a little too dark for me now, even in the lightest shade, and I am very unhappy with the result now. I don't know if the formula was changed - I bought two about a year apart and I am having trouble with both of them! So, I am afraid that Chanel has finally almost completely lost me after being a long-time customer (over 20 years). I am very happy with Dior and with Guerlain's pressed powders - they give me the light and luminescence I am searching for without turning into a strange mask. I still give it a 4 because I was very happy with this product for a long, long time, so the mark needs to reflect that, but I wouldn't repurchase again anymore. boo hoo

The packaging is gorgeous, and even though the little applicator (which resembles the pathetic offspring of a cloth and a puff more than anything else) is basically useless, it's a very, very nice powder. 70 Beige matched my skin tone perfectly, but I imagine that the translucency makes shades suitable for more than one tone. It gave my normal-to-slightly-dry skin a nice finish, but I can't speak to its oil-absorbing capacities.

great powder, really make my skin looks "flawless",the only drawback is it fails to control my oily T-zone.
The package is classic and elegant,easy to carry around for some touch-ups,i like the mirror a lot but hate the ugly pad with it

I have had this compact for 5 years now, and still haven't used it up, even though I use it almost every day. So, in terms of value, it is excellent.
It is very finally milled, it sets foundation/eyeshadow beautifully, does not look cakey or artificial and the colour is really natural on me - I am PPP with pinky complexion. It does what it is supposed to do but it is almost unnoticeable itself on the face, which is great!
It is not marketed as an oil control product, so for the very oily skined people, it might not be perfect. However, it is great for normal to dry skins, even a bit oily is fine, but not too oily.
The coverage is light, and if used alone, it just gives lovely matt-translucent look to the skin.
The only remark I can make is that the spongy aplicator is a bit flimsy and cheap but it still works. Perhaps if I washed it once in a while, it would work better, lol.
Overall, a very good product that does not clog pores and lasts forever. I will definitely buy it again when I run out.

Senator Coons' FAST Voting Act is introduced in House; picks up Senate cosponsors
Reps. Gerry Connolly and Jim Langevin introduce companion bill in House of Representatives; Senators Mark Warner and Sheldon Whitehouse join Senate bill
WASHINGTON – U.S. Representatives Gerry Connolly (D-VA-11) and Jim Langevin (D-RI-02) introduced the Fair, Accurate, Secure and Timely (FAST) Voting Act of 2012 in the House of Representatives Thursday evening, just hours after U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) introduced the bill in the Senate with Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who have joined the bill as cosponsors. The FAST Voting Act (S.3635 and H.R.6590) would create acompetitive grant program in the model of Race to the Top, encouraging states to aggressively pursue election reform. The states that demonstrate the most comprehensive and promising reform plans will earn a greater portion of the grant funding.
"The irregularities and delays that plagued this year's elections cannot be allowed to happen again," Senator Coons said. "Long lines are a form of voter disenfranchisement, a polling place running out of ballots is a form of voter suppression, and making it harder for citizens to vote is a violation of voters' civil rights. The FAST Voting Act is a creative way to jumpstart states' election reform efforts and to ensure that what happened last week doesn't happen again. I'm grateful to Senators Warner and Whitehouse for joining me in introducing this bill, and to Representatives Connolly and Langevin for introducing companion legislation in the House. Ilook forward to working with more of my colleagues in the coming weeks and months to ensure that we do not forget what happened last week, and do not miss the opportunity to prevent it from happening again."
The legislation authorizes a federal program that would award grants based on how well applicant states are able to improve access to the polls in at least nine specified ways, including:
- Providing flexible registration opportunities, including same-day registration;
- Providing early voting, at a minimum of 9 of the 10 calendar days preceding an election;
- Providing absentee voting, including no-excuse absentee voting;
- Providing assistance to voters who do not speak English as a primary language;
- Providing assistance to voters with disabilities, including visual impairment;
- Providing effective access to voting for members of the armed services;
- Providing formal training of election officials, including State and county administrators and volunteers;
- Auditing and reducing waiting times at polling stations; and
- Creating contingency plans for voting in the event of a natural or other disaster.
The program also requires an assessment of steps the state has taken to eliminate statutory, regulatory, procedural and other barriers to expedited voting and accessible voter registration.
The bills were introduced just over a week after an Election Day that saw extraordinarily long lines and a myriad of voting issues in more than a dozen states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Virginia, South Carolina, Montana, Tennessee, Hawaii, Arizona, Rhode Island and more.
Senator Coons entered a statement on the bill into the Congressional Record on Thursday. Click here to read it: http://1.usa.gov/ZD26FY

Best Practices For Managing Your SaaS Business

, I identified eight things you should consider when moving your SaaS business to the cloud. Here, I'd like to delve into the key performance indicators (KPIs) for managing your SaaS business. These KPIs fall into two primary categories: minimizing the cost of acquiring and supporting customers, while maximizing their lifetime value.

Why Moving To The Cloud Is Not All Or Nothing
Too often in the tech industry, the pundits and press try to create needless controversy about an exciting new innovation by declaring that adoption is an either/or proposition and polarizing the marketplace. These polemics can be unfair and a disservice to corporate decision-makers trying to sort out the myths and realities of the over-hyped industry trend. Especially because enterprises and ISVs alike generally require a mix of 'on-demand' and on-premise resources to achieve their corporate objectives.

What Does An Open Cloud Mean For The SaaS Model?
One of the most important decisions pertaining to developing and delivering Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions is choosing the right Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) architecture. Making the right architectural choice is essential because it will influence the scalability, flexibility and economic viability of the SaaS vendor's solutions.

8 Things To Consider When Moving Your SaaS Model To The Cloud
Moving your legacy application to an on-demand, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model has never been easier, but it is still isn't simple. In fact, with the proliferation of cloud alternatives the options have become even more confusing. And, if you make the wrong choices it could adversely affect your SaaS solution performance, hurt your company reputation and make it even more difficult to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Relationships and the Workplace
15 December 2010
Relationships at home and in the workplace can impact on each other.
The relationships we have in the workplace are a major part of our work. Not only do we go to work to earn a living and to take care of our homes and families, we also go to work for the social aspects of relating with people.
When our relationships at home and work are going well for us we feel invigorated and alive: we like being at work.
The relationships between our personal/family life and our working life are two-way. Work related difficulties and stresses can affect our personal and family well-being just as difficulties at home can affect our performances at work.
The types of difficulties that people have that affect their work are very diverse. These can include:
• Health related stress, smoking, alcohol and drug use
• Crisis
• Relationship conflict and distress
• Parenting issues
• Family violence - emotional, physical, sexual abuse
• Separation and divorce
• Rebuilding after separation
• Loss and grief
• Adjusting to life transitions - children leaving home, retirement, etc
• Decision-making - home or work-related
• Conflicts and stress with work colleagues - supervisor, employee work-mate, in a team
• Sexual concerns
• Problem gambling.
