Ozzie Guillen is guilty of being dumb, and a drama queen like MLB has never seen. He is ignorant, but he cannot plead ignorance in his latest mouth mess–his clueless comments in Time magazine's online edition about Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Guillen has lived in Florida in the offseasons while managing the Chicago White Sox; he has managed Cuban players who have helped him win a World Series (Jose Contreras, El Duque). There are 650,000 Cuban Americans in the Miami area.
Should he be suspended or fined by the Miami Marlins or by MLB? Only if either entity thinks it will make Guillen smarter or less insecure. Otherwise, no.
The very population that is outraged that Guillen said he loved and respected Castro came to the U.S. because one, it was really close, and two, it could offer a life free from oppression, a socialist government backed by the USSR and reprisal for not being Castro supporters. The U.S. offered a life not thought possible anymore in Cuba under Castro, and one of the perks of the U.S. was free speech.
Guillen spoke freely, if stupidly, given his new team's fanbase. But let's look at his language from a non-refugee point of view; Guillen said he loved and respected Castro because he has remained living despite 60 years of actual or planned attempts on his life.
You or I may have said, "I admire those who persevere in the face of great challenge," but we are not Ozzie, who is known for sucking shoe leather with comments such as (h/t to the Miami Herald's April 9 story):
• Using a profanity-laced gay slur while referring to a local sports columnist critical of the White Sox. Guillen later apologized to the gay community, but not the writer in question.
• Speaking out against Arizona's strict illegal immigration law in 2010. He was quoted as saying that "this country can't survive without [immigrants]. There are a lot of people from this country who are lazy. A lot of people in this country want to be on the computer and send e-mails to people. We do the hard work."
• Praising Chávez and appearing on his radio show in 2005, only to deny ever speaking to him when he was introduced as the Marlins manager last fall. He has since criticized the longtime Venezuelan president.
Guillen even admitted Saturday to drinking to excess after every game, claiming he's done so for more than two decades.
We in Chicago are delighted that it has taken less than a week for this blowhard to reach regular-season form, but since it is an election year in the Miami area, and since the public helped build the $640 million pastel-icious stadium, this is more serious than if Guillen had declared his respect for Jim Belushi because he represented all that was good about Chicago.
Political figures and hardcore Cuban refugee groups are calling for at the least reprimand and at the most Guillen's ouster. There will be at least one boycott, from a group that will make a show of protest today, when Guillen makes the appropriate move to fly to Miami in the middle of a roadtrip to have a press conference addressing the matter.
It's bad on the beach, considering all the money spent on the new place, which is being ridiculed, the new uniforms and logo, which are being ridiculed, and the new manager, who is ridiculous already. Yes, owner Jeffrey Loria knew what he was getting in Guillen, so a firing seems unlikely. The team has disavowed the remarks, and Guillen has already apologized and criticized Castro. From an NBC Miami story:
"I will apologize if I hurt somebody's feelings, or I hurt somebody's thought," Guillen said. "I want them to know I'm against everything 100 percent — I repeat it again — the way this man (been) treating people for the last 60 years."
Guillen announced he'd fly back to Miami Tuesday to discuss the comments.
"I feel sad and in a couple days I you know, stuck in my stomach, not because what I did, it just because I know I hurt a lot of people and I want to make it clear, especially for me," Guillen said before Monday's game in Philadelphia. "I want to get the thing over with and I told the Marlins I want to fly as soon as I can and tomorrow is the day off, I don't do nothing in Philadelphia, I'd rather be in Miami, clear everything up."
Yet, filling the old ballpark was hard, even though the Latin American community loves its baseball, and this lipslip could affect attendance if the protests and outrage gather momentum, apologies or no. I think a suspension or fine from the team and/or MLB would not be surprising, but I'm sure it would not teach Ozzie a thing.
Another thing I'm sure of: this band woke up each day and immediately set about getting after it, not stopping until we were rocked. I hope you are in a place where you can turn it up and shake your head.

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau BB Cream for Summer 2013
Guerlain joins the world of BB Creams with the new Lingerie de Peau BB Cream SPF 30 available in two shades for Summer 2013.
Someone hold me, I swear I swooned.
Guerlain Lingerie de Peau BB Cream ($52) is available in Light and Medium shades and promises to act as a multi-tasking skin perfector that protects skin with an SPF 30 while correcting tone and hydrating with a weightless texture. The bio-fusion micro-mesh formula of linen and silk fibers creates a second-skin finish with hyaluronic acid that moisturizes skin and helps it to retain moisture.
I can't begin to tell you how exciting the idea of a Guerlain BB Cream thrills me. I'm quite curious about the formula and ordered a tube immediately so expect a review very shortly.
Anyone try it yet?
Do share!
It's available now at Nordstrom.com
5/6/13 19:42 lil'eve:
Is guerlain your favorite brand?
5/6/13 22:08 Alanna:
WANT. i want it so bad ;_;
5/6/13 22:19 Taylor:
I just bought the Lingerie de Peau foundation during Sephora's VIB sale and holy cow I'm in love? today at work a random woman told me my skin was beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! guys. big deal. this bb cream is calling my name. looking forward to your review!
5/6/13 22:38 crotchfairy:
I saw you commenting about this in a previous post today. I ran to nordstrom's site but alas, none of my nearby stores carry it yet. I'm waiting for swatches to see if I fall into the light or medium coloring. It sounds AMAZING.
5/7/13 8:03 Carol:
I'd by it solely based on the tube and title! If it worked, that would be nice too.
5/7/13 8:43 Icaria:
Oh! I do believe I want one! Can't wait to read your review.
5/7/13 11:20 hb13:
This looks promising, especially the fact that it is moisturising
5/7/13 11:24 Tiffany:
I just bought the BB Cream at Sephora. Absolutely love it! I usually use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer but was looking for something with a little more coverage and did not want a heavy foundation. It was great, so light and great coverage!
5/7/13 13:18 Dusty:
Interested but too nervous to try! Guerlain often adds a heavy perfume to their foundations that irritates my skin. Wonder if this will be scented as well?
5/7/13 16:43 Dusty:
Good! We're having a strange streak of fabu weather – high 80's and blue sky for the past few days. I'm LOVING IT!!! Been busy in the recording studio working on a project (not mine… boo hoo! lol) and re-vamping my website, next is tweeks to the face chart website and hopefully… HOPEFULLY a video! LOL!!! I have all these things to write and talk about but keep getting distracted by other work – then when I do have free time I keep shopping instead of playing with what I've got! LOL! Bad bad bad!!
5/7/13 20:02 Tammie:
I want to try it~~~~~~~~~~
5/8/13 22:35 Iris:
My needed minimum SPF 30. Nice!
I look forward to your review.
5/21/13 10:28 Maya:
Will you be reviewing this anytime soon?
5/21/13 18:16 Maya:
Thanks apparently its selling out so let me know soon haha.
5/28/13 20:03 Vania:
I got it last week, and I love it! It's actually the first bb cream I fall inlove with, the coverage is great, but it looks so natural and lasts so long, I'm really impressed! I have no idea if it really has skin benefits, but my skin definitely looks nice!
6/27/13 4:30 Aurore:
I bought it and for a western BB Cream, I'm in love with it. It is just perfect for me in summer : the texture is not too rich, the color matches my skin well (I'm NC/NW 10, so on my skin it looks like NC15 or 20), and it lasts ^^
It is scented but the scent disapears as soon as it hit my skin, so maybe for Dusty it is worth a try ?

Taylor Swift had one amazing night at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards as she dominated them. Taylor won eight Billboard Awards including the top honors of "Top Artist" of the year. Swift also brought home the Billboard 200 award for Top 200 Album of the year for her "1989" as well as Top Female Artist of the year.
The Taylor Swift concert tour for "The 1989" is in full swing and and so we thought we would bring you Taylor Swift's Top 10 Songs in concert! Taylor is on her fourth world concert tour.

I am not much of a slash reader and have only read the works of a couple authors. However, I thought you did a wonderful job with this story. You made this about more than just the 'act'. I enjoyed how you spent the time to explain the emotions before and after their coupling. That's what makes this so interesting. Nicely done.
I like this immensely. I had to say this because I often do not like how people portray Faramir, and I truly don't like film Faramir. This one is how I envisaged when I read the book long ago, beautiful and black haired, sad, sensual. The sex was deep, scorching, touching and in the end, deeply sad, but as a lover of pathos, I have to say I adored it. Brill' :)

19 January 2011
Today sees the first reading before parliament of a detailed Health Bill which ushers in a fundamental reform of Health Care in England. President of the Royal College of Surgeons, John Black responds:
"The RCS welcomes the opportunity for greater clinician involvement in designing healthcare services laid out in the publication of the Health Bill today (Wednesday 19th Jan, 2011). This is detailed legislation and it will be in the detail that this ambitious vision stands or falls. Strong, unmediated links and sharing of evidence at a local level between GPs and hospital consultants are going to be vital to commission specialist care for complicated conditions, especially for those illnesses where the best quality for patients can only be delivered on a regional basis. The legislation leaves the question of regional level commissioning unanswered with no intermediary structure put in place. The RCS, will work constructively, both nationally and locally, with primary care organisations to help fill that gap.
It is a very positive step to see that the National Commissioning Board have been mandated with a "duty to innovate" – this puts the promotion of best new treatments at the very heart of the NHS for the very first time.
The legislation does not make explicit provision for secondary-care clinicians to input at the National Commissioning Board and local consortia levels – this is an opportunity that must not be missed and we would wish to see strong surgical representation in both.
Education and training of the next generation of surgeons relies on NHS hospitals seeing a mix of patients. If the move to "any willing provider" led to simpler cases being hoovered up by new providers the costs of training new surgeons could soar and the stability of acute NHS services be compromised. All new providers must be mandated to allow access for training and to make sure that when surgeons are working for them they contribute data on their performance to national audits – this will help ensure constant quality and provide the revolution in patient information the Secretary of State calls for."

Tips To Choosing A Fire Tape
Filed under: Uncategorized
Fire Tapes are used on drywalls to create the perfect fire retardant method to keep fires contained within their outbreak area. These can be beneficial for many different reasons including helping to save lives in larger properties. Here are some simple tips when choosing a fire tape to help protect your property and the people that live or work there from fire damage or danger.
Tips When Purchasing Fire Tape
Quick Installation: One of the fire things to look at when purchasing a fire tape for your building project is to choose one that will provide a quick installation. Some fire tapes tend to take a while to install, although ones like the E-Z Self-Adhesive Fire Tape delivers a quick and easy method of taping cracks or sections of walls, floors, or ceilings. This can help to reduce cost and labour time, allowing for your building project to be finished in a quicker manner.
High Adhesive Properties: Choosing one that offers high adhesive properties is also important when it comes to purchasing fire tape. Fire tape needs to be able to stick to the walls for long periods of time to help prevent a breach in the barrier. A low adhesive tape may cause problems with it falling off or becoming loose allowing for flames and smoke to escape into the adjoining rooms.
Multiple Material Use: Generally most fire tapes are designed for drywall installation although finding a fire tape such as the E-Z Self-Adhesive Fire Tape provides the options of working on multiple materials including wood and steel beams. This can provide a versatile method of fire protection for multiple different property types.
High Fire Rating: Fire ratings are designed to protect against the fire that may be spreading throughout your property. When choosing a fire tape it is best to choose one that offers a 2-4 hour or more fire protection rating. This helps to keep the fire contained allowing for people to escape in time.

As Oprah said (can't believe I'm quoting Oprah) it's not about what we should do. We all know doing the right thing is the right thing to do. It's about how to do the right thing. Very few of us know how to do the above, let alone lose five pounds, or be happy, or like ourselves, or be better parents, or anything.
* This reaction is offered with all due respect, and there's a lot of respect due, to Yogananda: genuine teachers deserve more respect than having their wisdom bottled and pruned into sound bytes that we tweet out via our smart speed phones.
Yogananda taught extensively about "how" we might love all sentient beings with a full, genuine sort of love, and brave the often difficult trials and tribulations with unceasing exertion. But the above quote risks "coffee book wisdom"…skimming only from the top of a mountain of wisdom can turn the real thing into trite, unhelpful, nice-sounding fortunes, and little more.

sometimes an appetizer is needed…I find it just as offensive for "spiritual" people to be "offended" by others connections.
so what if it isn't as deep as YOU think it should be…what if that one line leads many people to research yogananda?
what is wrong with people seeking aphorisms to get through their day? What's wrong with a little light heartedness?
Who are YOU to judge?
I say bring on the trite coffee table books and let those that are ready to seek, seek as they see fit. A little here a little there…it sinks in…I'll take a yogananda tweet over a Gaga tweet any day… Use the modern media to break through the cracks.
I'll take my new agey, affirmation spouting, enya listening, aphorism touting, tye-dye wearing friends that don't think they are better than anyone over those that think they are "deeper" "more advanced" or some other ego ridden version of spirituality any day.
Hey – I am guilty of it too and I thank you for the reminder — when I get all high and mighty that people who only do asana don't get how "deep" yoga really is…I'm going to kick my own pretentious ass…everyone is where they need to be…get over ourselves and we can go to the next level.
new age, shnew age. I never burned my Hippie Card.
Hey Waylon and Bob,
You all asked me to take part in this discussion and here I am.
My take on the whole new age thing is that I think many people claim to be spiritual because it is fashionable to be spiritual.
The way I see it, there are people who are truly on the path. And then there are those who throw around terms like karma without really knowing what the heck they are talking about.
Sometimes I see people who claim to be all spiritual and yet they have no clue about Eastern thought or what is meditation. Then I have known people who never utter a spiritual term and yet they are truly on the path.
When I lived in India, I saw the whole gamut of spiritual seekers. One of the big lessons I learned over there is that you never can tell the intensity of one's dedication because you just never know.
Labels mean nothing. How we live is more important than the labels we place on ourselves. Action speaks louder than words. That said, someone can utter trite generalizations and truly be on the path. It all depends on the individual and how they have chosen to live their life.
So I guess the best thing to do is to not assume and to just suspend judgment. To each their own.
amen sister thanks!!!
Hey All!
I agree with a lot that has been said and I just wanted to add my two cents. Looking back at the article when it said "…risks "coffee book wisdom"…skimming only from the top of a mountain of wisdom can turn the real thing into trite, unhelpful, nice-sounding fortunes, and little more" yes it does "risk" it. Saying anything is a risk. Its a risk because one can't control what someone else will do with it when it is read and that's okay. It shouldn't stop people from saying and quoting things.
Like ARCreated Wellness said, a little here and there and it sinks in, hopefully. If something about love couldn't be said or shared unless it was in a larger and more controlled context, then people would be missing out on a lot of little leads and thoughts that guide them to something more. People are loved in different ways, one of those ways is through words (hello mantras!) and having quick reminders about something in the form of quotes or music is a great companion on the path. I know that there have been times when I was feeling off kilter and saw a quote that helped me get back perspective.
I wonder if the uncomfortable feeling around potential shallowness comes from wanting to share what is dear and near to the heart and feeling a disconnect from others with a different experience which can be lonely. It bites to want to share something with someone and they just don't seem to get it or a person sees someone else spouting off and explaining or doing it "wrong." I think that means its a time to take a step back, nurture one's self with one's own community, teachers, own practice, whatever is centering and makes one feel connected again. Then, if so moved, share, share, and share some more your own deep insights and experiences, write a book, tell people to go to India, whatever. Focus on what is important, share that & then who cares what others do with it. Or don't share and let others figure it out for themselves.
As for the term "new age", I don't think we will actually know if anything "new agey", like a real new age, for at least 1-2 hundred years when we can look back and see if anything seemed to make a huge shift worthy of the title. But it is a label that is used often, it scares some people and makes others feel at home. I think its something that most people have their own definitions. I don't use it to describe anything really, it doesn't seem definitive enough. Perhaps a different term would work better, something such as… Well actually I can't think of anything right now, do you have any ideas? I think that perhaps part of the problem is that to me, like I said before, none of it seems "new agey." It just seems like the experiences of people, religions and various spiritual practices have changed somewhat and innovated for the time, mashing up old and new, which seems to me like normal growth. It also seems like a normal thing for a person to wade through it all finding what speaks to them the most. Does this make sense?
So to recap what I'm trying to say is, 1. annoyance with someone's seeming or real shallowness I think comes from feeling frustrated with seeming like an experience can't be shared which leads to feeling lonely & disconnected. And those feelings can easily be nurtured back to feeling grounded. 2. Who in the world came up with the term "new age"? It doesn't seem to mean much. Ok thats my 2 or 4 cents.
This is the journalistic/blog equivalent to a group of teenaged girls gossiping about another group of teenaged girls behind their backs; in really poor taste. The author's views could have been expressed much more intelligently and meaningfully than be referring to a friend's facebook status, followed by publicly judging this person. Reads like an amateur writer's knee jerk emotional reaction – lower consciousness stuff. Lost a lot of respect for EJ with this one, less likely to continue as a reader.
well, the article is NOT an article!
The emperor has NO clothe!!!
I get it. I haven't been able to reduce myself to the size of an atom yet either.
I'll look forward to it.
What a yogi! How about becoming invisible?
Well, I am a Taurus, after all…Thanks for the discussion!

In fact, it's what we're known for around the world. We've cracked hundreds of millions of passwords to date, and we will gladly assist you with any passwords you need cracked, too.
SCG combines years of hands-on cracking experience with research and analysis of real-world leaks to form potent attack plans, empowering us to crack the most probable passwords within seconds. And to help make short work of passwords that do not fall so easily to such methods, SCG owns and operates massive computer clusters which can perform brute force attacks at a rate of tens of trillions of guesses per minute.
"These guys are the amongst the world's foremost experts in password cracking. If they can't help, no one can. No joking around, they immediately dove right in. I can't thank Stricture Consulting enough. If you need a password cracked, for personal or professional reasons, this is where you look to."
- Jeremiah Grossman, Founder & CTO of WhiteHat Security.
And the best part is, our services come with a personal touch. Instead of blindly uploading hashes and encrypted documents "to the cloud," we work with you one-on-one and handle all of your data personally and directly. We own and operate all of our clusters in our Tacoma data center, which is secured to the highest possible standards. And since we do not use any third-party cloud providers, you know exactly where your data physically resides at all times. We will never send your data outside of systems that are not physically under our control.
In addition to using our own password cracking tools, SCG also uses software from Hashcat, Openwall, Hashkill, Passware, and Elcomsoft.
Check out SCG Founder & CEO Jeremi Gosney's presentation on SCG's password cracking clusters at Passwords^12!
SCG is proud to assist law enforcement, military, government agencies, forensics agencies, and private investigators with their password recovery needs. We place the highest priority on, and dedicate all available resources to, your time-sensitive jobs.
We can help recover:
We can even develop custom software to crack encryption algorithms and file formats that existing software does not support.
Password cracking is often a necessity during penetration testing, but it's usually not one of your consultant's core competencies. While most all security consultants have a basic familiarity with the subject, they are typically far from experts. And what about hardware? Your consultant's laptop probably isn't up to the job, and building a password cracking rig can be quite expensive, and time consuming to maintain.
By outsourcing passwords you need cracked during engagements to SCG, you will save money, maximize your consultant's efficiency, and ensure you're conveying accurate risk to your customers. With same day turn-around and low fees which can be passed on directly to the customer, there's absolutely no reason to continue cracking passwords on your own.

Written Answers - Social Welfare Appeals
Tuesday, 23 November 2010
Dáil Éireann Debate
44. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Social Protection his plans to consolidate the appeals process for supplementary claims from a two-step appeals process to one. [43839/10]
Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív): The supplementary welfare allowance scheme is administered by the Community Welfare Division of the Health Service Executive (HSE) on behalf of the Department. Under the current arrangement where a person is not satisfied with a decision in relation to their entitlement to supplementary welfare allowance, they can appeal this decision to an Appeals Officer in the HSE. In addition, the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 provides for a further appeal to be considered by the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO). It is assumed that this is the two-step appeals process to which the Deputy refers. The appeals process in the case of the schemes administered by the Department differs in so far as there is only one right of appeal and that is to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. However, the Department process also involves a review of the case by a deciding officer before it is forwarded to the SWAO.
When the Community Welfare Service is transferred to my Department, the HSE Appeals Office will no longer have a role in relation to the supplementary welfare allowance scheme. Instead it is proposed that appealable decisions will be dealt with by the Social Welfare Appeals Office in the same way as for other schemes administered by my Department.
The legislative provisions relating to the supplementary welfare allowance appeals process were provided for in the Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2007. These provisions are subject to a Commencement Order.

Practicing Ashtanga Yoga Is Like Being Married. ~ Debbie Kadagian
As I step onto my mat this morning, 13 years into my disciplined practice of Ashtanga yoga, it dawns on me how similar to marriage this practice is.
This morning is one of those glorious days where my body feels open, my mind is clear and there is a very limited amount of pain. Back bending is exhilarating, forward bending is resistance-free and I feel strong.
But how many times have I stepped onto my mat and felt pain, felt some apathy and, if I'm being honest, felt like I really didn't want to be here?
After 22 years of marriage, I see the ebbs and flows of that experience so similarly to the way I see my yoga practice. I'm sailing along in this thing called "a relationship," and at times I feel like I have the best thing going in the world. How did I get so lucky? This person is perfect for me in every way. I love him more than life itself.
Yet, sailing along on the very same ship, I can look next to me some time later and wonder what on earth I'm doing in this relationship. It is so hard. It's not going the way I want it to go. I don't even like him.
How does this happen? Same person, same relationship. Same mat, same practice.
Sometimes it's silly little things, like, why oh why does someone fling open their mat next to me and create a strong cold wind just as I am heating up in my Mysore practice? Why does my wrist always hurt when I begin my practice? Why do I have to do Nakrasana when I don't feel like it? Can't I just skip it?
Why does my husband leave his work stuff all over the kitchen? Why does he have to be so stubborn on certain issues? Why do I have to deal with the disagreement we had this morning about raising our kids when I just don't want to right now?
But then there's the thrilling excitement (and non-attachment!) of landing in Bakasana B from a handstand for the first time and just pretending to quietly go along with my practice when I want to scream "hallelujah" out loud. Or there's when my husband and I are driving along in the car on a beautiful day and I look over at him and think to myself that this is "the unbearable lightness of being."
These little moments make up the much bigger moments that define my life.
The only thing that gets me through difficulties is knowing for sure that "this too shall pass" and having faith that I am exactly where I need to be. There are no mistakes.
I found Ashtanga yoga one quiet morning when I walked into a class and just felt like I had been there before. The day of my wedding, I had a moment of panic, and then I felt God's hand on my back, gently pushing me down the aisle. How can I jump off the ship when that happens?
Samskaras are deep impressions from the past that make up who we are and can determine how we react in any given situation. We react to past hurts and actions, even though the present situation may be completely different.
As I look back now at both my practice and my marriage (which, of course, is a practice itself), these grooves, these deep impressions, feel just a little lighter, and somehow, I find that my wrist doesn't hurt as much anymore, and little things my husband does that used to bother me don't matter so much anymore.
As Antonio Machado says in the beautiful poem "Last Night As I Was Sleeping":
"And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures."
My old failures defined how I was formerly choosing to react to little injuries in my practice and perceived hurts in my marriage. How different life appears when my old failures become sweet honey.
So when I feel like jumping ship, somehow I just keep staying on board, and sure enough, clear skies are always ahead.

Beautifully spoken, Deb!
Thank you for sharing.
Really well said. In fact I could say the exact same dynamic is at work between my practice and my marriage. All grist for the mill. Thank you
What a beautiful, creative article. Very thoughtful, Debbie!
I liked this very much and loved the video, too.
What is the difference between mysore and ashtanga?
Hi Anne – mysore is a style of ashtanga yoga where you practice the sequence at your own pace, with guidance from a teacher. Here is a link for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysore_style
Thank you, Debbie!
Beautiful Debbie……………
Agree. A Stable marriage requires Mucking. With horses, and in with yoga:)
Thanks for sharing this Debbie.
It brings to mind the instruction Lord Krsna offers Arjuna in Bhagavad-Gita where He points out that our mind can be our greatest enemy or our greatest friend. Those of who step on the mat in the dark of morning and who share that practice with their spouse are lucky to have living examples of this instruction.
Posting to Elephant Ashtanga. Be sure to Like Elephant Ashtanga on Facebook.
Thank you, Thaddeus1
Very nice post! Thank you for writing. Just pointing out that the link to Nakrasana is not the nakrasana in the ashtanga intermediate series. Ashtanga's nakrasana is way worse as far as I'm concerned. Here's kino macgregor's tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFt5cI4Rjdc. Have a blast with that!
Yes, I saw that too. Ashtanga's nakrasana is much more difficult. I don't think I would want to avoid it if it was the one that they show
I have changed the link for you!
Thank you for pointing that out–I have changed the link!
Thanks, Jayleigh
Lovely! I've been married for 22 years, too – and practicing Ashtanga for 16. I could relate to so much of what you wrote here, mi hermana. Love the Machado poem, too.
Thanks, Michelle
Beautifully given encouragement needed by inexperienced new sailors and experienced but tired sailors alike. Very healing words Deb, Thanks!
Thanks, Maria
Debbie,what an insightful perspective on marriage and the practice ! 21 years in marriage and nearly two years in my practice and all the triumphs and tribulations…….my journey continues :)!
Mine continues, too, Kavita

Video: Ohio woman dies after falling out of electric vehicle
Redington Beach, Florida - Pinellas County sheriff's deputies are investigating an incident in which a woman died after falling out of an electric car that she was riding in with her husband.
"I was having dinner with my family and then we heard someone yelling and we thought it was kids yelling at each other," said witness Alex Muccioli.
But what Muccioli heard was the victim's husband yelling hysterically just before 6 p.m. on Saturday.
The couple was traveling southbound on Gulf Boulevard in a 2002 Gem electric road vehicle. The driver, Larry Taylor, was making a left turn onto 162nd Avenue when his wife, 68-year-old Patricia Taylor, fell out of the vehicle.
"He was hunched over her. She wasn't moving. He was crying and yelling and a few other people started coming," said Muccioli.
Several neighbors tried performing CPR on Taylor, but it was too late. She passed away after suffering serious head injuries.
"To see someone die, I mean she was already gone when I got there. It was only minutes. I mean, maybe two or three minutes," said Claire Janccunski.
The Taylors were visiting Redington Beach from Doylestown, OH.
Patricia Taylor was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether alcohol played a role in the accident.

Collected Wisdom: Spencer Tillman, former OU running back/CBS college football broadcaster
There's some negative things as well. We lost a child. Watching my mother go through a difficult battle with diabetes and losing both legs. Losing a brother, who dies to AIDS-related lymphoma. Things like that are tragic, but they all go in this big pot and make you who you are. That's kind of where I am.
I've got four girls. I love my girls. But he was born and died shortly thereafter. To see something that looks like you, is built like you and totally dependent upon you, and physically is a spitting image of who you are, and not to be able to pour into their life ... maybe it's selfish to say this, but I was so looking forward to being a father to a son.
I've been able to be that to my girls, no question about that, but I would've loved to pal around with my little boy and do some of the things fathers get a chance to do. It was not to be. But I've got a special place in my heart for him. Blake is his name.
When my brother died, I was 28 years old and in the prime of my NFL career. I was with the San Francisco 49ers, and my sister called and told me what happened. I immediately flew to Oklahoma and was there at his deathbed.
I listened to him articulate the events that led up to that moment, and the individual who abused him, and basically told him that if he'd told anyone about it, he would kill everybody in our family. It absolutely shaped him and crushed him.
That's the reason why when this Jerry Sandusky garbage came out, I didn't hold back because I'd seen what it could do to the lives of the people involved. It was tragic because it had happened to my brother.
My family was in New York City, and some couple remembered that I worked at WABC, the ABC affiliate, and they asked me for my autograph. My 9-year-old — at the time — was looking up at me, and I caught her out of my peripheral, running back vision. When they left, she looked at me and said, 'Why do they want your autograph? You ain't nobody.' I was like, 'Well, you know that, and I know that. But they didn't know that.' My family keeps me grounded.

Marist/IBM Joint Study
Marist College has had a longstanding partnership with the IBM Corporation that has helped place Marist among the most technologically advanced liberal arts colleges in the country. A key component of the Marist/IBM partnership has been a 14-year Joint Study arrangement that has benefited both the College and IBM in many ways. Through the Study, IBM has been able to test concepts and applications that the company believes can be of value in the 21st century in education, business, digital media, communications and other fields. The Study has also helped develop a world class technology platform to support instructional, research and administrative initiatives.
The introduction of computers and computer science courses at Marist began in the mid 1960s, a time when few colleges the size of Marist had moved into this field. From the start, the approach has been that computers are a functional tool for everyone at the College as well as a scientific discipline to be mastered by those in the School of Computer Science.
The IBM/Marist Joint Study began in 1988 with the installation of a $10 million IBM 3090 mainframe computer in Donnelly Hall. Over the past decade, Marist has worked with IBM to carryout four major upgrades of its mainframe computer. In the Fall, 2002 semester, the College installed a new zSeries 900 mainframe that provides a level of computing power ordinarily associated with large research universities and Fortune 500 companies. The College collaborated with IBM to plan and equip the new $20 million James A. Cannavino Library with state-of-the-art technology. The partnership also collaborated on the development and implementation of a comprehensive Ethernet-based campus-computing network that reaches into every student room on campus and supports every faculty and administrative office and every academic building. Campus-wide connectivity means 24/7 access to the Internet, email, voice-mail, the mainframe computer and numerous database services.
The College's participation in the Joint Study provides the unique opportunity for Marist students, faculty, and IT staff to work collaboratively with IBM research and development staff on various emerging technology initiatives. For example, the website for the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum was developed through a joint initiative of FDR Library staff, IBM engineers, and Marist students and staff. The website, which is based on the latest digital asset management technology, has been recognized by Encyclopedia Britanica.com as one of the best Presidential Library sites in the country.
This past year, Marist and IBM embarked in three emerging technology research projects with applications in both the business and academic worlds. These projects include grid computing, e-learning applications and computing on demand. Current and planned activities provide Marist Students the opportunity to work closely with faculty from many disciplines.

New Laws
The New Laws (Spanish: Leyes Nuevas), also known as the New Laws of the Indies for the Good Treatment and Preservation of the Indians, were issued on November 20, 1542, by King Charles V of Spain and regard the Spanish colonization of the Americas. They were created to prevent the exploitation of the indigenous peoples of the Americas by the encomenderos (large enterprise landowners) by strictly limiting their power and dominion.[1]
Blasco Núñez Vela, the first Viceroy of Peru, tried to enforce the New Laws, which caused the encomenderos to revolt in a large scale rebellion in which he was killed by the landowning faction led by Gonzalo Pizarro. Having seen the effects of the New Laws in the Viceroyalty of Peru, Antonio Mendoza, Viceroy of New Spain, decided not to enforce the New Laws in his territories, in order to avoid conflict with the encomenderos. In this way, due to massive pressure from the landowning classes, the New Laws were never implemented in the two largest colonies of the Spanish Empire.
The New Laws were the results of a reform movement spurred by what was seen as the failure of the decades-old Leyes de Burgos (Laws of Burgos), issued by King Ferdinand II of Aragon on December 27, 1512. These laws were the first set of rules created to control relations between the Spaniards and the recently conquered indigenous people, but they appeared to have simply legalized the system of forced Indian labor. During the reign of King Charles I, the reformers gained strength, with the Spanish missionary Bartolomé de las Casas as a notable leading advocate. His goal was the abolition of the encomienda system, which forced the Indians to abandon their previous lifestyle and homelands, and destroyed their culture and traditions. He was able to influence the King, and the fruit of the reformers' labor was the New Laws. His active role in the reform movement earned Bartolomé de las Casas the nickname "Defender of the Indians".
The New Laws consisted of many regulations on the encomienda system, including its solemn prohibition of the enslavement of the Indians and provisions for the gradual abolition of the encomienda system. The New Laws stated that the natives would be considered free persons, and the encomenderos could no longer demand their labor. The natives were only required to pay the encomenderos tribute, and, if they worked, they would be paid wages in exchange for their labor. The laws also prohibited the sending of indigenous people to work in the mines unless it was absolutely necessary, and required that they be taxed fairly and treated well. It ordered public officials or clergy with encomienda grants to return them immediately to the Crown, and stated that encomienda grants would not be hereditarily passed on, but would be canceled at the death of the individual encomenderos.
When the New Laws were passed, every European man in Peru learned that his allotment of land and Indians could be confiscated if he was guilty of having taken part in the civil disturbances of Francisco Pizarro and Almagro. As a result, the promulgation of the New Laws caused great unrest in the Spanish Americas, leading to a revolt in Peru, led by Gonzalo Pizarro. Pizarro headed protesting landowners who took to arms in order to "maintain their rights by force".
Gonzalo Pizarro was invited by the Supreme Court to assume control over its government after marching from Bolivia to Lima with his troops. Pizarro forced himself upon Lima and Quito. The revolt led to the overthrow of Viceroy Blasco Núñez Vela, who had attempted to impose the decrees. Pizarro and his army defeated and killed Núñez Vela in 1546. Pizarro's power stretched all the way to Panama. Charles I and the court became alarmed and were convinced that the immediate abolition of the encomienda system would bring economic ruin to the colonies. To deal with the revolt, Charles I sent Pedro de la Gasca, a bishop and diplomat in the service of the king, without an army but with full powers to rule and negotiate a settlement. However, Pizarro declared Peru independent from the King. La Gasca saw fit to suspend the New Laws. Pizarro was later captured and "executed as a traitor of the King".
Finally, in 1545, the rule stating that the encomienda system would no longer be hereditary was revoked, and the place of the encomienda system was again secure. Although the New Laws were largely unsuccessful, they did result in the liberation of thousands of indigenous workers.
Most of the ordinances of the New Laws went on to be incorporated into the general corpus of the Laws of the Indies, except where they were superseded by newer laws.
A weaker issue of the New Laws was issued in 1552.

Recipe: Sweet Potato Fries Wrapped with Bacon
Sweet Potato Fries are my ultimate weakness. It's absolutely tortuous that so many restaurants serve them now. Of course the deep-fried variety are my favorite. They develop such a wonderful exterior crispness on the outside while staying nice and moist inside. I also really adore baked sweet potato fries which are a nice healthy snack.
Unfortunately this recipe does not fall under the healthy snack category. Wrapped in bacon, these sweet potato fries are the ultimate sweet/salty snack. I can eat these things like candy.
I tried to share them with my family. Really I did. But they didn't get many.
This recipe is so simple with just 2 ingredients. It's hard to believe that something so simple can taste so good. But the best things in life are usually simple.
Sweet Potato Fries Wrapped with Bacon
- 1 large sweet potato or 2 medium
- 8 ounces of bacon (not thick cut)
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut each piece of bacon in half lengthwise and then in half widthwise so you can wrap 4 sweet potato sticks with what was 1 piece of bacon.
- Peel sweet potatoes and cut into thin strips, no bigger than the width of your pinkie finger.
- Starting at one end of sweet potato stick wrap bacon around, stretching bacon a little if needed to make it to the other end.
- Place on baking sweets, leaving some space in between fries.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Sweet potatoes should be soft at this point. If not cook longer.
- Turn oven to broil just for a very short time to help bacon crisp up some, but careful not to burn. (Obviously if you have 2 baking sheets in the oven, you will have to get the top baking sheet crisp, remove it from oven and place bottom sheet under the broiler.)
Yield: enough for 4 snacks or 1 extreme sweet potato lover

Chef's salad
Henrico man earns honor in homeland
Last month, as local veterans polished medals, buffed boots and starched uniforms in preparation for Memorial Day services, Paul Elbling left his Henrico home for a May 8 decoration ceremony.
Like recent holiday occasions in Sandston and at Fort Harrison National Cemetery, Elbling's event was long on red, white and blue and "The Star Spangled Banner" – even if lacking in small-town marching bands and Sousa music. But then, Elbling had hopped a trans-Atlantic flight to attend the ceremony – which took place in Blotzheim, France.
To Richmonders who know him as "Chef Paul," the owner and culinary artiste of La Petite France, it might come as a surprise to learn of Elbling's 18 months as a paratrooper and nurse in the French Algerian War. But as a 19-year-old in the French Army, Elbling rode ambulances around combat zones collecting the wounded, and made more than 100 jumps getting to the sites.
On his last jump in 1962, attempting to evacuate more injured, he was shot in the leg while still aloft. "Which is against the Geneva Convention," he says grimly, adding that he barely noticed the shock of his own wound.
"I was more concerned about my friend," he recalls, going on to describe the sight of a fellow paratrooper who had taken a much more serious hit. His friend did not survive.
After three weeks in the hospital, and additional time in therapy at a convalescent center, Elbling eventually returned to his culinary calling.
First medals were for cooking
Even though he was winning honors for his cooking by age 18 (a Gold Medal in culinary competition in Strasbourg), becoming a chef was actually Elbling's second-choice career. At age 12, he entered the seminary and studied for the priesthood two years before changing course and getting into the restaurant business. He jokes today that his decision was best for all concerned.
"When I went in the seminary," Elbling says with a laugh, "my older brother slapped my shoulder and said, 'Paul, if you become a priest one day, I will be the pope!' And I was afraid that my brother might be the pope!"
Beginning with an apprenticeship at a local restaurant as a young teen, Elbling embarked on a career that took him to, among others, the famous Carlton Hotel in Cannes, France, and the Georges V Hotel in Paris. As an apprentice, he worked 90-hour weeks with a dozen peers to help 57 cooks.
"[At one restaurant] we had a huge stove, the length of the dining room," he recalls, noting that the massive fixture connected to the water pipes supplying the hotel above. "We had to be down there every day at 5:30 a.m. to clean the stove – so the hotel residents would have hot water."
Two years after becoming a chef in the resort city of Baden-Baden, Germany, Elbling earned his European Master Chef Degree. That same year, driving near his home in the Alsace region of France, he met his wife-to-be, Marie Antoinette.
"On the road, she passed me going very fast. She made a fishtail!" he says, tracing the car's near spin-out with a gesture. Indignant, Elbling caught up with Marie at the next stoplight. "I got out of my car and gave her hell," he says.
Marie began crying. "It's my birthday," she told the stranger. "I'm going to my birthday party and I'm in a hurry. . . Would you like to come?"
After the couple married, they came to America in 1967, fulfilling a dream Elbling had had since he was five years old. He had never forgotten the Americans who liberated his family from a German labor farm in 1945. "They gave us Hershey bars and Spam," he says, describing the menu as if it were a sumptuous gourmet repast. "[Spam] was the first meat I'd ever had.
"Now when I go hunting or fishing, I always take a can of Spam," he adds. "It brings a good memory."
When the Elbling family returned home from the labor farm, they found their house bombed. Lt. Joe O'Neill of Chicago, who then drove the family to Paul's grandparents' house to live, kept in touch for years afterwards. He helped Elbling with the paperwork that allowed him to move to America, but passed away before the process was finalized.
"Otherwise," says Elbling, "I'd be in Chicago today."
Guinness world records
After three years in Washington, D.C., where he served as chef in the Restaurant Chez Francois and the Washington Hotel, the Elblings moved to metro Richmond. Since establishing La Petite France, Paul Elbling has compiled a lengthy resume of honors, including Richmond Small Businessman of the Year (1982), Restaurateur of the Year from the Virginia Restaurant Association (1985), Academy Award of the Restaurant Industry, and the Great American Chef's Award.
He has also been cited for excellence in Southern Living and Gourmet Magazine and earned several records in the Guinness Book of World Records, including one for the world's largest omelet (10,470 eggs), world's largest ice carving and longest sandwich.
All the Guinness stunts were charity benefits, and he continues to be a frequent contributor of auction items (the latest a dinner for 10, prepared at the buyer's home) for non-profits such as the Maymont Foundation and Heart Fund. For another favorite charity, Little Sisters of the Poor, Elbling has helped raise more than $1 million. He also thoroughly enjoys getting monthly letters from two youngsters in Appalachia "adopted" through Children, Inc.
Among his proudest accomplishments, however, was founding the Virginia Chefs Association apprenticeship program. His first apprentice remains at La Petite France with him 35 years later.
"He would never leave," Elbling jokes.
Another one of his most satisfying achievements was winning two gold medals for the United States in the 1980 International Culinary Olympiques.
"When we got the gold medal," he recalls, "my old chef from the George V – 83 years old – was there watching, and he had tears in his eyes."
Elbling was equally emotional as French officials awarded him four medals – what military types jokingly refer to as a "fruit salad" of colorful ribbons -- for his wartime medical service at the recent ceremony in Blotzheim.
"What was very impressive about this was my brother, a retired general, was the one pinning on the medal," he says. "And the kids [of Blotzheim] came with American flags, and they played the [American] anthem.
"I had tears in my eyes."
The medals, soon to be mounted on the wall of his home off River Road, recall for Elbling the cherished memory of a conversation in 1970, when he and Marie returned to France to be at the bedside of his dying mother.
"She was always very jovial," Elbling says of his mother. "First, she told my wife, 'Marie Antoinette, Paul is a good boy, but keep him on a leash!' [Marie] hasn't forgotten that!" he says with a laugh.
Then his mother turned to him and said, "I am so happy for you. Your dream has come true."
"We wouldn't go back [to France] for anything," Elbling concludes emphatically.
"We love it here."

Labor Day is approaching fast and, with it being the last big weekend of the summer, you need to make sure you have a ton of fun with the people you care about and let summer go out with a bang!
Not sure how to spend your Monday? Here's a list of some activities you can do with your friends and family to help make the best of your holiday.
1. Go Shopping with your friends- There is no better time to go shopping than during a holiday weekend! Grab your best friends and hit up the local mall. Chances are you will not only find some killer sales, but you will have an awesome time browsing through your favorite stores with your friends. I know I will be checking out that last big blow out sale at my favorite store! I mean, 50 percent off...who could resist?!
2. Family BBQ- Nothing says summer like a good old-fashioned barbeque! Grab your parents, your cousins and your aunt and uncle twice removed, and grill up some hot dogs and burgers. Throw on some music and stuff your face with macaroni and potato salad! Some of the best family get togethers are the ones where we are all surrounded by a big ol' table of food.
3. Go to an amusement park- Now, I know theme and amusement parks are super crowded on holidays, but consider this: it is the last big and long weekend of the summer, so why not spend it twisting and turning on your favorite roller coasters?
4. Take a trip to the beach- Whether you do this during the weekend or just on the holiday itself, if the weather is nice, take this last opportunity to soak up some end of summer sun before the beached close up! Grab that bathing suit one last time, your favorite people and a radio and relax by the waves before the craziness of fall takes over!
5. Go see a movie-If you want to spend your last long weekend taking in some of the newest flicks, grab your family or friends and check out what is playing in a theater near you and relax in the air conditioning. Is one movie not enough for your day? Why not make it a day long event and see a couple of movies in a row? Grab the extra large popcorn bucket and enjoy the show! Two movie tickets too expensive? Make it a movie marathon at home. invite your besties and pop in your favorite movie triology...but the popcorn is still a necessity!
6. Have a huge water fight-During the last big holiday, my family and I filled up a huge bucket of water balloons and went to town drenching each other in the heat. Depending on the weather near you, this could be a great way to bond with the people you care about and cool down in the end of summer heat! Fill up water balloons, water guns or just buckets of water and plan a huge water fight with everyone.
7. Have a Picnic-If you want to simply relax with some friends, grab a basket and some food (maybe even a frisbee) and hit up your local park! A picnic is a great way to enjoy the day and weather, but also to relax. You can get in some great conversation and maybe a game of ultimate frisbee to pass the time!
8. Play a game-This may seem really broad, but it totally gives you the option to be as creative as you want! Get a huge group of people and play a game! It could literally be anything your heart desires: basketball, baseball, kickball, etc. If you plan a huge sports game, you will not only get to check off your exercise for the day, but you will also get to gloat to your friends when you beat them at ultimate man hunt. Win-win!
9. Go to your local Labor Day events-Almost every town and city does something fun or exciting for Labor Day. Check out your local newspaper or bulletin to see what your town has in store! You can still have fun on Labor Day in your own backyard.
10. Hang out at home with the family-For some people, Labor Day is the last time to really spend some quality time with their family. If that's the case for you, then nothing is better than spending some time at home hanging out with your loved ones. Do some of the things on the list with them or just watch TV and enjoy a home cooked meal. Either way, nothing says holiday like time with family!
There are tons of things to do this Labor Day weekend! How will you be spending your holiday?

If you disable query auto-execution as Beth Massi suggests at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2012/05/29/lightswitch-tips-amp-tricks-on-query-performance.aspx
you lose the convenience of sorting grid columns. If you wish to sort on some column you have to first click on its head, and then refresh the screen. As far as I know, there is no such an event like grid_sort() exposed where you could programmatically refresh the screen.
If "Auto Execute Query" property is disabled and you click the sortable column head, refresh automatically i.e. "auto-execute" the query!

Same for other "supports" which obviously rely on auto-execution feature: "Support paging" and "Support search":
On clicking "Page navigation" control -> go to the requested page.
On "Search" clicked -> show filtered result.
