I know I promised great “everyday” boots, but when I saw these Randi boots by Kate Spade New York I just had to post about them. They are so cute and so feminine. When was the last time you played in the rain and jumped in some puddles? They may be pricey, but they are so worth it.

March Motivation – Things to do this month…
Go somewhere new, it’s so satisfying finding a new restaurant, park, coffee shop etc. I’m a creature of habit but I want to do some exploring.
I love Spring flowers, daffodils are just the happiest flowers in the world. My mum always has at least one vase of fresh flowers in her house (as well as millions of plants in pots everywhere) and that’s a habit I’d really love to get into one day.
A Simnel cake for Easter? Some amazing project you’ve seen on Pinterest that will surely change your life? I put off these things all the time, so getting ONE done should be a satisfying experience.
I like having candy coloured nails but never get around to painting them, and then in turn never get around to removing the nail polish so I look untidy for the majority of the time. But there’s a lot to be said for indulging in something frivolous.
Where are you going this summer? We’re looking forward to a family jaunt to Croyde in Devon, we went last year and it was a TOTAL washout, so by comparison this year has to be much better.
Once a year is not enough for pancakes. I just need to get some lemons in and I’m game.
Small things/big things/silly things, whatever’s on your list this is a cheery exercise.
It’s contagious! Do it.
So I’m not the most talented housekeeper, but even clearing away the smallest pile of junk that’s been collecting over the last month (or year…) makes me feel productive.
[...] am also loving this post March Motivation – Things to do this month… by the lovely illustrator Veronica Dearly. [...] | http://www.veronicadearly.com/2013/03/11/march-motivation-things-to-do-this-month/ | 2013-05-18T10:31:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

10 million PlayStation Move units shipped worldwide
Sony announced at GDC 2012 that its motion control peripheral has past a significant milestone.
As reported by GameInformer, Sony’s Gabe Ahn didn’t give any sales figures, but revealed the company has shipped 10.6 million Move units to retailers.
Ahn said Sony considers the accessory “successful” and still has major plans for it; the company announced yesterday that the long-awaited Move showcase Sorcery will finally release in May.
The peripheral launched in September 2010, making it 18 months old. For comparison purposes, Kinect is 16 months old and has sold 18 million units – but that includes units bundled with consoles.

Shipped-Sold, not the same thing, just hope folks remeber that when they comment (even though it never happens). Though I was someone who was an early adopter of Move (only cause I needed a PS3 with a bigger hard drive, and it came bundled with it at the time I bought it), I admittingly hardly ever use it. Though I am looking forward to what’s coming down the pike for Move, and I do also want to try out KillZone 3 on Move w/ the Sharpshooter, because I’ve heard that’s the best way to play it using Move. Also, looking forward to seeing what Bioshock Infinte’s does with Move. Because I’m more than sure Irrational Games could utilize it in very intuitive ways for gameplay. Good to see they’re supporting the device, though I’m still waiting for that must-have app, same goes for Kinect.

@1, Firstly, shipped is essentially sold- sold to retailers, although I believe they can be returned under certain circumstances, I have no idea what these circumstances may be but I guess consumers can also return products but again, I don’t know how returns work as I rarely have to do any, I actually research a product before I buy it & if something happens to it, it’s normally well out of the return period.
Secondly, the PlayStation 3 uses a standard 2.5″ SATA HDD, the exact same you would shove into a laptop, & they are relatively cheap so all you need to do is watch an online YouTube tutorial on how to properly do it, it takes 10 minutes give or take.
Thirdly, don’t expect any MUST HAVE apps for either Move or Kinect, their successors will be announced with in the next two years & Microsoft will drop support for their console simultaneously with the release of its successor so there’s really not enough time for either platform to have a good AAA announced & released while there’s only a handful of noteworthy Move & Kinect games with the slightest chance of becoming ‘must have’ but I wouldn’t hold out hope for any of them.

Of course shipped is sold. Do you think a manufacturer gives away their product to the distributor/retailer for nothing? If so, explain why GAME isn’t able to acquire stock from certain people.

Shipped is as goo as sold as retailers only order the amount they think will be sold.

‘Shipped’ is not as good as ‘sold’.
Or it would be called ‘sold’.
Not ‘shipped’.

Shipped for a company is basically sold. They don’t know how much they sold because every retailer have it’s own information and it’s hard to track it.

08/03/12, 10:30 am
OK, let me clarify something on shipped-not-sold. I was speaking in terms of what was being sold to the consumer, something this article doesn’t mention at all, and for those arguing well shipped is essentially sold, is maybe only half true. For manufacturers sell products to retailers at a wholesale price. The retailers buy the orders in bulk (wholesale) at a discounted total rate, instead of having to pay for each individual console or game at regular retail price. So neither the retailer or manufacturer is making a maximum profit until a sale to a consumer is made, again, something this article doesn’t mention. Hope I’ve cleared things up a bit. Though as I said before, great to see support for Move, I just hope to see more stuff for it in due time.

Does this 10.5mil figure include the nav unit as well? And I suppose it cannot take into consideration households that bought two or more move controllers? I only ask as the figure presented, sold or shipped, does not give a clear enough indication on market penetration in terms of households using the devices. | http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/08/10-million-playstation-move-units-shipped-worldwide/ | 2013-05-18T10:26:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

This video is funny!
dont get me wroung. this takes me back to high school. but if your not going to have a video avalible dont put it up to play
Late night in the 80's zone.
One of my favorite 80's hit's!
monty python estrogen and acid...i do like the fighting chickens and midgets are always funny...
Honestly...if I were Ivan, I'd be dancing with the blond as opposed to the little person with the ma...however you spell it. I love this video. I'd like to create my own for YT someday...
dude i luv this song lol its video is funny but reely weird
Is it me or does that girl look like a Jim Henson puppet from Sesame Street? Especially at the beginning when she just pops up into the screen, like she's got no legs or something.
OH MY GOSH! This always reminds me of my GRAD-NIGHT. We had Men Without Hats perform for us at Disneyland. Everyone was jumping around like fools and having a good time when they played this song. Then when they started with their other unknown songs many left the dance area. LOL!
Sorry but not a one hit wonder. Pop Goes the World was a much better song and was played quite heavily on the radio. They had a few other videos, but not as popular.
Night Trax!!!!
We can dance if we want to... alright! | http://www.vh1.com/video/men-without-hats/340945/the-safety-dance.jhtml | 2013-05-18T11:07:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

How to Shut Down Internets
Good Morning, Sinners... with Warren Ellis
The internet, as you may have heard some years ago, is a series of tubes. The internet does in fact enter Syria through four tubes—three undersea cables and one overland cable. The undersea cables are set to lead to one single, physical room. All four are controlled by a company called Syriatel. Syriatel is owned by one Rami Makhlouf, a close cousin to President Bashar Assad, incredibly rich and well ensconced within the Syrian power structure.
Last year, while Makhlouf was funding pro-government demonstrations, America was arraying commercial sanctions against Syriatel, due to its having conveniently suffered net outages in regions where government attacks on rebels were happening. Or, as the US put it, acting to "sever network connectivity in areas where attacks were planned." There was also the little matter of recording conversations over mobile phones and turning the files over to the security services. Because, yes, Syriatel owns a chunk of the mobile market, too.
Anyway, if you own the tubes, and have free access to the open ends that poke into your country, you can essentially nail lids over them by switching off the Border Gateway Protocol routes that let stuff reach you through the tubes. Which is what Syriatel did, making all of Syria's IP address blocks unreachable. Nothing went in or out.
Libya tried turning off the internet in stages, blocking in-country access to Facebook and the like, and, for a couple of days, the main service providers just turned off their servers. After that, they tried something new. They throttled the country's bandwidth down to almost nothing. Sort of like treating Libya as if it'd been caught downloading a hundred gigs of porn on a Saturday afternoon and punishing it with a bandwidth cap that made connecting with a mobile phone in 1996 while up a tree in Wales seem like broadband. The chairman of both the General Posts and Telecommunications Company and Libya Telecom & Technology, unsurprisingly, was one Muhammad Gaddafi, the son of the late Colonel who's currently enjoying an exile in Algeria. It appears to have been done for one simple reason: It's selective. You can cap everyone else and still make sure dear old Dad's laptop connection just rips along. Hell, he could probably have Ustreamed his own death.
(There is, in fact, a terrific rumor that says that Assad literally sold Gaddafi's satphone number to the French DGSE spookshow in return for political considerations, because the French didn't want Gaddafi's alleged dubious links with Sarkozy to get out. But anyway.)
In the above two cases, we're dealing with what, in science-fiction novels, might be some strange future iteration of the military-industrial complex, where regime and commerce are bound by blood and the cycle has come all the way back around to medieval ruling Houses in the satellite-powered Weird Present. bring it back. They believe they will win. It is the arrogance of power: They take their future for granted, and need only hide from the world the corpses it will be built on.

There is more than one way to contact a client. Are you utilizing all of them? A truly successful marketing campaign maximizes various avenues:
- paid advertising (both print and online)
- paid direct mail
- free publicity
- workshops and seminars
- lead generator programs
- social networking
- face-to-face networking
We all know about direct marketing – sending that periodic postcard out, buying the ad in the right industry book. But have you tried any of these other avenues? Do you issue press releases to your local media and trade publications? Would conducting a workshop make sense? Is your LinkedIN page up to date, and if appropriate, do you have a Facebook page for your business? And here’s the one I struggle with, face-to-face networking… people “buy” from people they like, and they only way they can like you is if they meet your personally.

The Citadel, situated in the very geographical centre of the island, has been aptly called the Crown of Gozo. It is possible that it was the centre of activity since prehistoric times, that is around 7000 years ago when the Maltese archipelago was inhabited for the first time by people that crossed over from Sicily. Later on there was also activity as from the present day Rabat. Its antiquity was startingly revealed in a sewer trench cut along the south side of ‘It-Tokk’, the main square of the city, in 1960. Natural blue clay was covered by a 3.70 metre depth of artificial accumulation below the modern pavement. The lowest level was laid down in the Bronze Age, with sherds of the Borg-in Nadur phase (1500 – 700BC)
In 700BC, the island was colonized by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians. The Punic level within the trench at It-Tokk was, alas, fairly thin and, in the restricted area available for examination, there was no sign of structures. There is however no doubt that the town was inhabited in Punic times. Punic remains have been unearthed to the south west, from the area running roughly from Triq Vajringa to Pjazza San Frangisk.
The Romans took over in 218BC at the beginning of the second Punic War and created Gozo a municipium independent of Malta with a republican sort of Government that minted its own coins. During the Roman period, several buildings stood at It-Tokk. At one point the above mentioned trench, a cellar still containing wine jars was found, though the jars were empty. It is in fact pretty certain that a Roman town developed in Rabat known as Gaulos Oppidum – the town of Gozo. Its limits are partly marked by the discovery from time to time of huge blocks of stone – part of the foundations of the Roman houses – and of tombs, which were placed immediately outside the town. Its bownfary was probably in what is nowadays Triq Palma, hence made a ninety degrees turn onto the right into Triq Vajringa, and another ninety degrees to the right down Triq Santa Marija, il-Mandragg.
The Citadel and Rabat continued to be inhabited under the Byzantines (535 – 870) who seemingly did not carry out any work significance. At one point in the trench of It-Tokk, in a building that had been burnt down, there were some fifth century oil lamps on the floor. It was late during the Arab period (870 – 1127) that the town of Gozo got its name of Rabat.
The Arab rule was brought to an end in 1091 by the Normans, who were in turn followed by the Swabians (1194), the Angevines (1266), and the Aragonese (1282). The population of Gozo concentrated in the castrum began rising steadily. The castrum is mentioned in a report of 1241 when it was the only fortified shelter on the island. Another proof of the rising population is the Rabat cemetery in an area aptly known as Fuq it-Tomba next to Pjazza Sant Wistin. Some remains possibly date to around 1270, when the island was under the Angevines. By 1435, the Citadel had a Matrice: the Sanctae Mariae Ecclesiae dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven. On the other hand in Rabat three parishes are recorded namely the parish of Saint George, of Santa Marija ta’ Savina and of Saint James.
The arrival of the Knights of Saint John in 1530 brought little changes to the Citadel and Rabat. In July 1551, Gozo suffered its worst siege in history. Almost the whole population was dragged into slavery. By September 1554, the Matrice was functioning again and Rabat was partly abandoned and inhabited again some years later.
In 1599 works were started to rebuild the Castello under the direction of Giovanni Rinaldini. By 1603 the Maltese military engineer Vittorio Cassar was entrusted to supervise the works at a time they had already reached an advanced stage.
Access to the Citadel was up a street ramp from It-Tokk, upon a stone bridge across the ditch, and another ramp to the Citadel entrance, that could be sealed by a draw bridge.
Until 15 April 1637, Gozitans were bound by law to spend the night within the Citadel. After 1637, there was an exodusium to Rabat that continued to grow steadily throughout the years.
After a short-lived French rule (June-October 1798) and twenty one months of autonomous rule (1798 – 1800), in 1800 Malta and Gozo passed under British rule. On 16 September 1864, Gozo became a diocese separate from Malta. This event became possible through the efforts of two Gozitans: Don Pietro Pace and Sir Adrian Dingli, then the Crown Counsel. Malta and Gozo became indipendent on 21 September 1964 and were declared Republic on 13 December 1974. | http://www.victoria.org.mt/history-note/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

LONDONA week-long spree of London theatergoing inevitably results in a case of anticipatory déjà vu: Something tells you that you'll be seeing the same productions next season in New York. A dampening thought. The future may be here, but it's hardly worth the Valium-induced coma of a transatlantic flight these days. Not that the dramatic offerings in Britain don't seem far superior on paper. Imagine a Broadway moment when one could attend major revivals of Beckett, Pinter, and Stoppard. That's possible right now in the West End, with Peter Hall's straightforward productions of Happy Days and Betrayalcompeting for ticket buyers against David Leveaux's splashy staging of Jumpers. Of course such canonical fare seems like small potatoes when compared with the marketing machine of Jerry SpringerThe Opera. (I knew I was in trouble when the usher asked if I wanted to buy a program or "the official production guide.") Thankfully, there's always the Royal National Theatre for understated qualityeven if the London critics can't help turning Michael Frayn's oh-so-serious-minded Democracy into a "hugely entertaining" hit. ("Essential viewing" it may be, but all the blurbs in the world couldn't keep the row of American high school students from slumbering.) Like the winter sales at Harrods, the overheated hype assures that the vacation goods you're blindly hoarding are of the rarest quality.
Still, if the theatrical scene was less than transcendent, it's always invigorating to steep yourself in a culture where theater mattersnot only as source of tourist dollars but as an evolving reflection on the way we live and create. Democracy may underscore the relative nature of "best play of the year," but it's definitely the smartest thing I encountered on the London stage. A theatricalized narrative of a short but important chapter in the Cold War, the piece spans the period from 1969 to 1974 when the left-of-center Willy Brandt served as German chancellor and, fending off his Machiavellian political rivals, negotiated an improbable rapprochement between West and East. Frayn's treatment is a model of novelistic complexity, constructing a story of historical events that, like the author's award-heaped Copenhagen, resists not only schematic values but interpretive closure as well. Pity that Democracy isn't really a play but a nuanced meditation on political personalities whose conflicts are never larger than the epochal battles engulfing them.
Frayn is too astute an observer of history to reduce his plot to an instance of villainous double-cross. True, Brandt's personal assistant, Günter Guillaume (Conleth Hill), rises to prominence in the chancellor's office while spying for the Stasi. But the viper's nest of party factions makes treason the rule rather than the exception. Complexly accurate as this may be, the playwright might have done better to follow the example of Shakespeare, who shaped out of the documentary record plays that illuminate not so much the puzzling course of chronological circumstances but enduring human patterns. Yet Michael Blakemore's sparely elegant production goes a long way toward making the prosy story theater-worthy. Credit for this belongs largely to Roger Allam, who turns in a quietly staggering performance as Brandt. In the darkening crevices of the actor's face lies the real drama of his character's seemingly impossible task.
Democracy may fall short of its gushing encomiums, but one can't help feeling grateful for an imagination stirred by such quietly consequential foreign affairs. Leveaux's production of Stoppard's rambunctious 1972 comedy Jumpersleaves one appreciative for a different reason. Not a great play, it's a farcical intrigue centered on Dorothy (Essie Davis), a prematurely retired music hall singer implicated in the murder of an academic acrobatic (one of the eponymous jumpers) that occurred on the night of her big comeback. In the midst of the felonious mayhem, Dorothy's shambling philosophy professor husband (a frumpy Simon Russell Beale in high intellectual anguish) dictates to his mysteriously silent secretary the dead-end drafts of his public lecture, "ManGood, Bad, or Indifferent."
Lacking ultimately in mature artistic vision, Jumperssettles instead for metaphysical twaddle and horseplay. Leveaux, fresh from his recent staging of Nine, treats the material as though it had the makings of yet another Fellini musical. The production's spirited superficiality, however, is unable to disguise the lack of true depth, which not even the bottomlessly neurotic Beale can supply. Still, the highly cooked production provides a snapshot of an ingenious playwright amassing his theatrical skillsin short, a reaffirmation of the living tradition that allowed Stoppard to develop into the author of Arcadia and The Invention of Love.
Space and jet lag permit only a brusque sneer at Jerry SpringerThe Opera, a cacophonous extravaganza that tries to send up the TV talk show while doing everything in its power to appeal to its sizeable international audience. Needless to say, it seems pointless to create a full-scale musical that's equal parts parody and celebrationnot to mention one that's merchandised to the hilt with T-shirts that say "Talk to the Hand" and "Jerry! Jerry!" As opera it's merely badly sung gimmickry, while the book devolves into levels of inanity that Springer himself might object to. Two American teens exiting the theater were shaking their heads at the talentlessness of what they had paid dearly to see. Honor students, no doubt. Advice to kids planning an imminent theater trip: Take the subway to Times Square and check out I Am My Own Wife, Aunt Dan and Lemon, and Wonderful Town.

"Voices from the Bush: Urban Bush Women," Jawole Willa Jo Zollar's 20th anniversary program, demonstrated how survival takes a certain toughness, focus, ingenuity, emotional sincerity, and serious purpose. Delicacies, a solo by and for founding member Robin Marie Wilson, displayed graceful control in the face of all challenges. Legendary actress Laurie Carlos, who joined Urban Bush Women in '86, contributed raw in the breath of RAW WINGS Wings, which was nothing short of oceanic, Carlos's plush, storytelling body an antenna of flesh, transmitting a multitude of signals. In Convoys, Curfews, and Roadblocks, the forceful Nora Chipaumire, a 2003 UBW recruit, used a square of red light as a harrowing place of purging and, paradoxically, as the reclamation of strength. Christal Brown, Shani Collins, Treva Offutt, and Trebien Pollard, longtime members of Zollar's troupe, also brought effective works that spoke of struggle and healing, and Carol Mullins's lighting once again proved a sturdy, dynamic partner for dance.

. When does he DO, people ask, that gives him such a reputation? His public work is more a subject for humor and wisecracks than for serious study: representations of soup cans, silkscreen reproductions of famous faces, multi-colored lithographs of flowers, murky six-hours?
Art as Weapon
I don't propose to get into a long discussion here on what I think is beyond saying that in one direction at least I favor art as a revolutionary weapona group of financiers who promote him and finance him, as a boxer might sell 50 per cent of himself for a business proposition. The rumors are almost certainly untrue, if only because Andy Warhol is his own manone and although his gallery, Castelli, is known to allows its substantial advances to other Castelli artists: Johns, Rosenquist, Lichtenstein, Chamberlain, it is doubtful that Warhol sells works at that place. Castelli's Ivan Karp says: "He is probably spending more on them than he can afford."

Nine of the 13 bouts went the distance at Packard Music Hall Saturday.
WARREN -- Boxing returned to Packard Music Hall Saturday night with a 13-bout amateur card presented by the Warren Boxing Club and veteran trainer P.C. Torres.
Nine of the bouts went the distance and the other four were stopped by the referee with all of the fights being very entertaining to the crowd of more than 1,200 fans.
A rivalry of recent vintage between Torres' Warren Boxing Club and Jack Loew's Southside Boxing Club in Youngstown was resumed with Loew's fighters splitting four bouts and Torres' boxers winning five of nine. In head-to-head competition the Southside boxers, thanks to the Salinas brothers -- Juan and Alejandro -- were 2-0. The edge on the night for the Warren Boxing Club came in the final two bouts.
Tempesta winner in final
The finale was of great interest to the hometown crowd, as "The Fighting Policeman" Frank Tempesta made short work of Jeff Lampkin-trained Cecil Porter.
In a super-heavyweight bout that began as a slugfest, the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Tempesta battered the 6-1, 250 Porter into submission.
With a volley of blows Tempesta had Porter take a pair of standing eight counts in the first round and after another standing eight count in round two the referee stopped the fight at the 36 second mark.
In a 178-pound battle, Nathaniel Adams, another Warren Boxing Club fighter with a two-fisted attack, finished off Jordan Shepler from Pittsburgh at 1:48 of the first round.
The two other fights that were stopped had 6-2, 241 heavyweight Jason Evans, from Bizzaro Boxing Club in Erie, use a five punch barrage to finish Jason Miller from the Salem Boxing Club at the 18-second mark of round one, and DeAdonte Heywood, from Akron in a 130-pound fight, stop West Virginian Zack Smith at 1:53 of the second round.
Seven Junior Olympic bouts
There were seven Junior Olympic bouts with all of them going the distance and the little guys mixed it up well.
Alejandro "Popo" Salinas was a non-stop puncher in winning against Warren's Alex Smith in a battle of 60-pounders.
Juan Salinas, age 12, was in one of the best fights of the night, a 95-pound battle with tough Jamelle Vann of the Warren Boxing Club. The five judges voted 3-2 for Salinas, who said he dedicated the win to his late uncle, Jose Salinas, who passed away in the summer of 2004.
Two impressive bouts had Pittsburgh's Scott Hutton, a southpaw, win a tough decision over Tom Joseph from the Salem Boxing Club, and in a 125-pound fight, Adrian Ghisou from Erie edged Charles Fagan from the Southside Boxing Club.
Former boxer and retired Warren official Terry Nicopolis, who is associated with Torres and the Warren Boxing Club, opened the evening with a silent moment for Lalu Sabotin, who died last week.

Even coming a very close to the Atlantic, this red has great Mediterranean character, balanced and glucose, very modern with good fruit character with hints of herbs.

Vipp Ceramics Collection
7 pieces of ceramics are unfolding a new chapter in the 70 year-old Vipp story.
Vipp is continuously adding new elements to its 70 years of experience within processing of steel, yet in the development of the Vipp ceramics collection Vipp has joined forces with a whole new field of craftsmanship. In collaboration with the Danish ceramicist Annemette Kissow Vipp has created a 7 piece collection consisting of a bowl, milk jug, egg ring, plate, espresso, coffee and tea cup.
“Since I met Annemette Kissow in 2005, I have admired her work, so it was an evident choice to team up with her when we decided to add a ceramics collection to Vipp’s kitchen concept”, says Jette Egelund, CEO and daughter of Holger Nielsen, creator of the Vipp pedal bin.
Like the existing Vipp products, the ceramics distinct itself by its soft.
“Even though we are working with a completely different material, the outcome carries the same DNA as when we process steel and aluminium – a product stripped to the bone with a minimalistic look where material and processing define the design ” explains Morten Bo Jensen, Chief Designer in Vipp.

New
Thomas Jefferson Foundation Lecture Series is Aimed at Innovative
Research on Jefferson-Related Topics
February
13,2001-- The University of Virginia has established
a Thomas Jefferson Foundation Distinguished Lecture Series to bring
to the Grounds eminent scholars whose research will produce fresh
insights and breakthroughs on topics related to Jefferson, President
John T. Casteen III announced.
Supported
by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc., which owns and operates
Jeffersons home, Monticello, the lecture series will be launched
in the fall of 2001 with three noted speakers on the transformation
of America and the West begun by the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Presenting
the inaugural lectures will be Alan Taylor, Pulitzer Prize-winning
professor of history at the University of California at Davis; Kenneth
Prewitt, dean of the Graduate Faculty at New School University in
New York and former director of the U.S. Census Bureau; and David
Hurst Thomas, curator of North American archaeology at the American
Museum of Natural History in New York. Each will give a public lecture
and participate in seminars during the week of Oct. 10 through 14,
to help kick off the Lewis and Clark national bicentennial programs
at U.Va. and Monticello.
"It
is highly fitting that the inaugural lectures in this series be
related to the Lewis and Clark expedition," Casteen said. "The
opening of the vast American continent ranks among Thomas Jeffersons
greatest visions and achievements."
The
Jefferson lecture series will be held every two years, in part to
provide time for intensive new research on topics related to Jefferson.
The visiting lecturers will meet with students during their stay.
"With
the establishment of this lecture series through the generous support
of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, we hope to enhance the educational
experience of our students and to advance scholarship on Jefferson
and his times," Casteen said. 09:03:18 EST

The Technology Summit and Career Exploration takes place during the morning and is specifically designed to bring together employers and high school juniors and seniors who have an interest in pursuing an engineering or technology degree. The afternoon involves a career fair geared towards Virginia Western students seeking job opportunities or to gather essential career related information from those working in the industry. This presents exciting and unique opportunities for students who want to pursue a technical career with a company in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. Demonstrations and hands-on workshops will be offered in robotics, rapid prototyping, GIS/GPS, CNC, PLC's, welding, HVAC, hydraulics, Information Technology, Environmental and Health Science Technology, mini-baja car and much more. Exhibitors will provide the students with the opportunity to collect information from their companies and communicate with potential employers. This one day event will showcase an array of opportunities that await students as they decide on their future career paths.
The afternoon Career Fair will provide opportunity for employers to meet with Virginia Western students who are working toward completion of a degree or certificate in one of our technical studies programs. With over 25 associate's and certificate programs in areas including engineering, IT, CAD, mechatronics, GIS and more, this Fair will allow students to learn more about current and future openings with area industry and will give employers an opportunity to network with possible future employees. The Career Fair will be a great opportunity for both employers currently seeking to add to their workforce, and for those simply wishing to network with prospective future employees so a cache of resumes can be obtained.

Believe it or not there are many ways to make money from a virtual event. Sometimes the money you make is after the event happens, and sometimes during, and many times it is a combination of factors that enable you to earn money from having virtual events.
1. Sponsorships
Selling sponsorships is a great way to earn money on your virtual event. Choose sponsors that offer a benefit, discount, and value to your target audience. Be selective, limit the spots, and charge a premium.
You can also make requirements of your sponsors to promote your event, to announce their sponsorship with a badge on their site and more. There are ways to use the sponsorship to also promote the event by getting amazing value for your attendees.
2. Tickets
Many people have free events, but oftentimes this results in just having freebie seekers coming to the event. If you charge for the event, with great marketing, you can make quite a good income for the event even if the charge is low.
Imagine a 200 capacity conference room, charging only $5.00 each will result in a $1000 revenue from the event. Deciding your price point will take some research and knowledge of your target audience, and depend upon what you’re presenting.
It is important that if you’re selling tickets to an event that the event be more than a way to up sell other products and give something of true value to the attendees. When people are paying for an event they expect to get something amazing out of it.
3. Up-selling
By offering sneak-peeks and bonuses for attendees that offer discounts on other products and services that you and the speakers / presenters offer can go far in getting new clients and customers and add substantially to your bottom line.
If you charged for the event be very careful how you approach this. Most people are used to getting a coupon with a percent or set amount off for a new purchase so this will probably be a fine thing to do. Giving bonus products such as free eReports, eBooks, a recording of the event, plus a transcription of the event.
4. Post Event Offers
When the event is over, the attendees have received their copy, those who paid received their copy, now you can sell the event, forever, over and over again as a download. Imagine that you can get paid for creating an information product that you can sell over and over again in various forms from a recording of the event to the transcript of the event.
If your event is super successful and you kept track along the way, you can even sell the planning and conducting of the event as a virtual events case study “How To” guide. Events can also be broken up. If you had several speakers you can break each part up into a separate product with extras such as check lists, questionnaires, and more added to the product. There are so many ways you can repackage each event only your imagination stands in your way.

A minor meditation on words.
by, 06-28-2012 at 03:38 AM (1216 Views)
Voice 1:
You might not care about this. I'll admit it's niche and probably boring to some.
The two latest emails in my inbox are both from myself. Ignoring how lonely that might seem, it's their contents which are relevant. Between them are five words:
- Variegated
- Internecine
- Alighted
- Suffusing
- Demesne
Four of those were new to me, and one of them I simply wanted to make sure I understood correctly. I was giddy with excitement. Four whole new words to use! I started thinking of scenarios where I could put them to use, how I could express an idea that much more succinctly or how I might add more nuance to an idea. I read them out loud, reveling in how they played across my tongue, how they sounded in my ear. I tore the words apart, gawking at their prefixes and peeping at their innards, studying their construction to see just what made them tick. I started to look them up in an etymology dictionary a reference I occasionally read for pleasure. Oh, none of them produced quite the same pleasure on their own as when I first discovered the word "cognoscenti" (Seriously, try saying that out loud a few times. How could you not fall in love with it?), but part of the fun is of course forming sentences with these words so you can get the full musicality of the language.
This isn't standard.
My name is electric_blue_kirby, and I am a logophile. I like words and everything to do with them. I have an opinion on the Harvard comma. I follow obscure debates on niche issues amongst linguists. In contrast, I've often heard that the average person uses only around 500 different words per day. I don't know how true that actually is, but I can have a fair amount of trust in the veracity of my empirical experiences. While using what I consider standard parts of my vocabulary, there has been a frighteningly common trend.
"Wow, you know so many big words! You must be so smart!"
"Why are you trying to sound smart by using big words?"
I'll start with the obvious. Neither of these two example responses actually address what was said with the words, only their perceived complexity. "Well, when the human biosystem is secreting monohydrogen dioxide upon the corpus, it is because it is suffused with excess hydration and thusly it must expel fluid to maintain proper homeostasis." Or, more simply: "Sweating is how the body gets rid of excess water." Which is a false statement, never mind any of the other issues with that example sentence. Yet neither of the two aforementioned responses make note of that. Rather, the former would assume the statement valid (if they even understood it) and the latter would believe it to be from a pretentious narrator. Neither of them actually addressed the point because both were more concerned with how the statement was presented than with the statement itself. I like words like "peccadilloes," but the presumed complexity of the words are not more important than what the words are conveying. This represents a major stumbling block to valid discourse.
And while it's vexing to get immature responses about how your use of vocabulary is simply putting on airs (with no hope of refuting that point as they refuse to believe that the words you've used are just common argot, because if they don't readily recognize it, then of course nobody else does, right?) what's more worrying is why these two responses are so common. It's easy to say that people simply aren't interested in reading and writing. I won't deny that I've heard more than one teenager describe reading as "gay." However, I suspect part of the problem lies with the education system (this is where the blog post takes a decidedly American focus). While high schools surely differ, I'll relate to you an anecdote from the one I went to. We were tasked with reviewing a peer's paper. I laboriously went over the one I was reviewing, making several notations of places I felt it could be improved. I received mine back. It was barren but for one note: "Good. Used lots of big words." This was a 12th grade AP English course. In less than a year, that person would be going to college.
That school did not teach us how to write well. If you're presently in or have been to college, perhaps your school had a mandatory course teaching students the basics of writing a report. From what I've heard anecdotally, this isn't uncommon. Sparing further elaboration, most college students are terrible writers. While perhaps a more elite institution might have higher standards, many professors in my experience can be wowed by simply presenting an argument or a point well, rather than actually fully understanding the argument (thankfully the journalism professors are not nearly as simple, or I might just lose all hope). While my GPA appreciates high marks on essays about concepts I don't fully understand or books I didn't even read, it tells me that even at the end of their formal education, many students will graduate with their degrees with low levels of writing competency, because the expectations placed upon them are equally low.
You see, it wasn't until I was taking a class specifically designed for journalism students that I even heard the term "gerund." I'd been through K-12 schooling, and not once had we gone over some of the simple grammar that was covered in that one class. Nor would anyone not taking that specific class come across it in their other classes. Within two or three years of actually competent classes focused on teaching the craft of writing, I can recognize that my own skills have improved drastically. But this comes with a caveat: Only those majoring or minoring in a field that writes for a living were being taught how to compose sentences, to cherish words, to note how language sounds, how it reads. For everyone else, they could simply not care and they'd still get their ticket punched. Knowing how to properly form an argument, having an okay vocabulary and having the training in writing well (although I still have much room to improve) has made undergrad courses so rote as to basically be madlibs. Throw in a bit of pandering to your professor's interests or preferred style of argumentation, and you'll be earning high marks you don't honestly feel you deserve. While it's certainly possible I'm simply underestimating myself, only one professor has ever not been that simple to impress, an exception which proved the rule.
I feel this is the issue here. You have people who throughout their academic career are never taught or expected to understand anything beyond basic writing competency. Anything beyond that is associated with serious academics rather than the common man (academics of course do so because they want to be taken seriously), and so you have a confluence of vocabulary level with general intelligence. Which is a false conflation, as has been previously demonstrated. Can we put an end to this false narrative? Knowing some words doesn't mean I have strong math skills, it doesn't mean I'm worldlier than you, it doesn't mean I'm an academic, it doesn't mean I'm smarter than you. All it at best demonstrates is, as has been stated, that I am a logophile. But the most fancifully wrapped turd is still a turd all the same. What might actually demonstrate the speaker's intelligence is what they use those words to say. And I just worry that in a world of "TL;DR," that point is getting lost. Or maybe I just lack the temporal perspective to realize how long people have been missing the point. It's not that I demand people understand that it's supposed to be "I was graduated from high school," rather than "I graduated high school," (although it would be grand if they did) but that what's basically an accepted ad hominem ought to stop for the good of honest, fruitful discourse, and a system which addresses the former point might hopefully help solve the latter.
Well, that's just a thought that's been bugging me. I felt the need to write it down and solicit opinion.

In the neighbouring village of Kartong, just 5 minutes drive from Gunjur, there is a small art gallery. They have paintings from various local artist on sale and a nice selection of other arts like wood carvings. Nothing like the things you buy in the regular souvenir shops.

Just on the edge of Gunjur fishing village you can find another Rastafarian retreat, Kaira Kunda. They are already geared up to accommodate tourists in simple huts with bucket shower and long drop toilet but sadly no visitors while we were there.
Now fellow Virtual Tourists, please don’t waste your money in some hotel in Senegambia, owned by some Lebanese businessman, there are local people here who need your support. You’ll have a much richer experience of the true Gambia if you support these small, local enterprises and bring some hope to places like Kaira Kunda and Hopeside Corner, ten years from now these places may not exist, as big business moves in. You can help make this unspoilt part of the Gambia a place where local ambition can lead to local prosperity.

You’ll need to order your drinks and food in the morning, so the boys can run into the village to get your needs. This includes fresh palm wine and our new favourite tipple, cana. The boys are hoping to have a couple of rooms to rent soon, in the meantime you’re welcome to pitch your tent down there and listen to their drumming as the sun sets over a sea that is much calmer than that of the Northern Kombos.

Smoked fish salad. They use freshly smoked fish from the nearby fishing village.
Breakfast. Simple but good.

I happened to visit Amritsar and had food at Temptation Restaurant. The ambience was good and restaurant was clean although construction was going on for a basement and an extension. Staff was cordial and the knew the menu thoroughly as they could answer the questions regarding the dishes/cuisines. Even on a hot summer afternoon in week days, the place had a decent crowd. Anyways, the food was really good. We tried sizzlers, continental and normal punjabi cuisine. Almost everything was good.
Favorite Dish: Sizzlers!!!! They were just awesome. I can definitely say that those were one of the best sizzlers I ever had.
Apart from that, the soups were also really good.

I later also decided to put it under this Restaurant so VTers will not miss it. and waved at me and gave me the thumbs up after they saw that I gave something.

There are lots of small restaurants throughout India with wonderful breads. This restaurants is next to our Amritsar hotel and we ate there as we arrived late. The hotel was past the train station so I don't think they get too many tourist.
They usually allow you to look in the kitchen and even take photos. As our trip went on, we made it a point to check the kitchens. We had no problems in Amritsar but some places the kitchens were horrible and we refused to eat there.
Also see my "Local Customs" tips for information about Langar (Free Meal) at the Golden Temple Complex. (Link below)

The food was great and the service was speedy as I was the only in there -- but by the time I had finished eating the place was packed.
Favorite Dish: Tandoori Chicken was just scrumptious. Unfortunately the beer was overpriced and not too cold.

Part of the Sikh religion is the fact that everyone is welcome to take a meal which consists of dahl (rather bland bean curry), rice and a chipati. The dining hall, which has signs over the entrance such as "The lord himself is the farm, himself is the farmer, himself he grows & grinds the corn", was packed with people when I visited, (even though it was only 10.45am), sitting on the floor in neat rows with silver trays in front of them waiting to be served.

Located round the corner on the road past the Jallianwala Bagh, this pizza place was OK but certainly nothing special. I had a mushroom pizza which was a bit dull as I prefer spicy meat pizza's but they only do vegetarian one's as it's close to the Golden Temple.
Updated May 5, 2007
The surrounding area around the Golden Temple is deemed to be a religious area and so meat is regarded as a complete no-no. There's actually not many restaurants within the area. In the New Punjabi Rasoi I had a mushroom masala, rice and naan which was good. Neelam's does do breakfast but only after 9am. I came to Neelam's for dinner on my last night in Amritsar and they had meat on the menu, or should that be on the walls and seats near me, as a couple of small cockroaches were around. Not nice whilst eating!

Surjit Chicken House is situated in Nehru Shopping Complex , Lawrence Road. This is about 5 KMs from Golden Temple and a Rickshaw (trishaw) ride will take about 20 mins to reach (for Rs. 20 - one way). Its a basic eatery with no fancy decoration or frills. Just the tables, chairs, a TV and ACs plus the tempting smell of Chicked being roasted in an Oven (tandoor).
Favorite Dish: Tandoori Chicken - Chicken (not boneless) roasted in an Indian Oven (tandoor) and sprinkled with Indian Spices and served with spicy chilly-mint sauce, a slice of lemon and onion.... Try it if you can handle the heat out of your ears.....yummy!

Whether you are in the mood for Indian Food, Chinese or something All-American, Brothers has it for you. This is pretty much the Indian equivalent to a diner.
Favorite Dish: My dad had the saag and makhi roti, which was very good. I opted for pizza. I thought I would give Indian pizza a shot. Up until now, I had been eating only Indian food. I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very good.
Updated Jan 22, 2005
This free restaurant really is something different. Up to 50.000 people are fed here daily, and all for free. There is no real way to describe it, just go and see for yourself. It's open 24/7, so if you're craving for a mid-night snack, this is the place to go!
Favorite Dish: They only have one dish: the dish of the day, usually consisting of rice (sometimes curried) with dal (curried lentils), and chappatis. But you may get lucky and eat there on a rice pudding (with sugar and coconut) -day. That's the great thing, you just never know. As always, donations are very welcome. As is volunteer work in either the cooking- or the dishwashing-department.
All meals are veg.

Pull My Finger! Says Cheeky Comic Joe Pasquale
22nd August 2011
Categories: Press Releases - Latest
Joe Pasquale is back, from outer space, he's just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face!
Well there's no need to look sad anymore. Comedy king Joe Pasquale returns to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre on Sunday 28th August as part of his Pull My Finger! tour.
Since being crowned ‘King of the Jungle’ in the 2004 series of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here Joe Pasquale (dubbed the hardest working man in comedy) hasn’t stopped! After running this year’s London Marathon in aid of Diabetes UK, presenting The Paul O’Grady Show and attempting to break a world record (for the most amount of martial arts throws in a minute) Joe is back on tour with his brand new show Pull My Finger!
A veteran of live comedy, Joe has been performing for over twenty years. In between stand up gigs he has voiced characters for Hollywood movies (Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties and Horton Hears a Who!), appeared at five Royal Variety performances and become a mainstay of the British pantomime season. As well as performing, Joe has also qualified as a pilot, taken up boxing and competed in Celebrity Total Wipeout alongside Fatima Whitbread and Sally Gunnell!
This summer Joe brings his madcap humour and zany slapstick to the Grand Theatre with Pull My Finger! But it’s not just any finger! Is it a chocolate finger? I hear you ask. Is it an iced finger? Or is it a long thin thumb that looks like a finger? No, it’s the fickle finger of fate, and we dare you to pull it.
Joe Pasquale brings his Pull My Finger! tour to the Grand Theatre for one night only on Sunday 28th August, 7.30pm. All seats are £18.50.
To book for any show you can call the Box Office on 01253 743339 or click on, or visit us at the Grand Theatre information sales point in the Houndshill Shopping Centre.

Semi-Private Golf Courses
How would you like to play on a semi-private golf course that has made it onto Golf Digest’s “best-in-state” list and regularly found in the top five? Or maybe you prefer walking a course that’s been around since 1891–with views of the water from every hole. Maine has some great semi-private courses in some stunning settings with a backdrop of forests, mountains and oceans.
Typically, a semi-private course caters to its members by affording them lower green fees and giving them advantages on tee times. But member or non-member, Maine doesn’t discriminate when it comes to who you might see on a course any given day. One Maine golf club holds a dual distinction: At its founding in 1896, it was one of only 74 golf clubs in the United States, and one of its current members is a former President of the United States.
If you plan a golfing vacation in Maine, seek out one of the nearly three dozen semi-private courses welcoming golfers on a comfortable summer's day or during a colorful fall outing.
Golf Maine includes more than 40 courses that would love to host your next golf outing. With their concierge service, you can find a course to match your own golfing style.

Little Moose Public Reserved Land
Also known as Little Squaw Public Reserved Land, these 15,000 acres of wilderness in the Kennebec and Moose River Valleys Region feature plenty of water for a great Maine canoeing adventure, plus a number of hiking trails and other opportunities for outdoor fun. Situated adjacent to the southwest corner of Moosehead Lake, Little Moose Public Reserved Land includes Trout Pond, Big Indian Pond, Little Notch Pond, Big and Little Squaw Ponds, Papoose Pond, and Shadow Pond—remotely situated in the rocky foothills of the Little Moose Mountain Range. Visitors greatly enjoy the excellent fishing, boating, swimming, and, of course, canoeing. And when you’ve worked up an appetite, picnic tables welcome you to break out your store of goodies.
Big and Little Squaw Mountains and Trout Pond Mountain offer plenty of trails for those interested in exploring on foot. The three-mile trail up Big Squaw Mountain ascends about 2,000 feet to an old fire tower. Panoramic views of the surrounding landscape await those who reach the summit.
The southeastern corner of Little Moose Public Reserved Land features a more gently undulating landscape, attracting those who prefer to explore at a faster pace than by hiking (or snowshoeing). ATV riding and off-road biking are popular, as are cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.

Maples and Mountains
You can begin this breathtaking tour by taking Route 11 to the Naples Causeway on Route 302 in Naples. Naples is the "Heart of the Lakes Region" with eight lakes and ponds surrounding the town. Summer visitors are drawn to the bustling Causeway offering many fun activities by day and spectacular sunsets and bustling nightlife at many local restaurants and pubs.
Nearby, cottages. While in Naples, board the Songo River Queen for scenic cruises on Long Lake. Passengers are often rewarded with deer, moose and loon sightings. Cruises run through the end of September.
From Naples, continue north on 302 to Bridgton, where you can ascend Pleasant Mountain via Shawnee Peak Ski Resort’s chairlifts to mountain bike, hike and enjoy magnificent views of the area’s fifty lakes. And, if antiquing is high on your list of things to do, there are plenty of shops along the way through which to browse.
From the mountain, travel east along Route 302 to the intersection of Route 117. Take 117 north to South Paris. From South Paris, head north on Route 26 to Bethel, a classic New England village, complete with a village green, stately clapboard homes and a community of friendly locals. Thanks to the introduction a wonderful respite for the visitors of today. Beautiful inns in Bethel proper, as well as the Sunday River Ski Resort just outside of town, provide wonderful hiking, biking and golf opportunities amidst some of the most breathtaking fall—the subject of so many drawings and paintings, it’s known locally as the Artist’s Bridge.. If you time your tour right, take in the Fryeburg Fair. This is agricultural Maine at its best, with livestock, food, rides and exhibitions. Enjoy nightly harness racing and big-name entertainment.
Complete your trip by following Route 302 back to Naples and relax on the deck of a restaurant overlooking the causeway and Long Lake. | http://www.visitmaine.com/seasons/fall/touring/maples/?font-size=10&slidebar=close | 2013-05-18T10:55:39 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

With the plans ExpressTools you can define a grid which allows it IToolbar_PlantExpressToolshnen components to locate and find. The coordinates based on the defined grid can then be output, eg by means of plans reporters. When you configure AutoCAD P & ID and AutoCAD Plant 3D System administrators must often enter long text endless lists which are then used as selection lists. With our plans you can now ExpressTools XLS / CSV file and import it, as opposed to manual data entry, reduce the time dramatically. If the project is configured, and the drawings were created, you may want to copy the project, including its drawings. For this purpose it is necessary not only to copy the entire project, but rename it as well. With the plans ExpressTools we offer the opportunity to do just that.

If you know how to do pin-curls already, then this will be a cinch, it just takes it a step further by doing upright pincurls, and pinning the finished curls in a 40s style. I've been pin purling my hair for about a year, and it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to pin everything at night, and about 1 minute in the morning to brush it out and style it. So for anyone saying they don't have an hour to style their hair in the morning: Seriously, one minute.
Make sure your hair is thoroughly wet, from root to end. I take showers at night, so that's not an issue. Otherwise stick your head under a sink!
I have thick hair that holds curl very well, so I don't use any sort of setting lotion. But if you have fine hair, or you just need extra help holding the curl, I've heard great things about Lottabody setting lotion. So, if you need a setting lotion, now is the time to apply it, and brush your hair smooth.
Part your hair at the side, then section off a portion of locks between your side part, and a middle part...
...brush the section in the opposite direction, at a diagonal. Now, instead of rolling the curl flat on your head, roll the curl upright, and pin at the base of your hair, right where the little arrow is.
Continue to do three more upright pin curls, in the directions shown in pink.
As for the rest, I do a back an forth, flat pincurl technique, and secure a hair net. The front actually looks like a style, so if you want to make it pretty, and show off the front curls, add a headscarf using this tutorial.
At this point I sleep, and let time do the work for me. If you are pressed on time, or wake up to some dampness, sit under a hood dryer until the set is completely dry. I always do a heat setting, and once dry, do a few minutes of cool to strengthen the curls and add a bit of shine ;)
Once your set has dried, take the bobby pins out and use a large brush if you have a strong curl hold, or use your fingers if you have a weak hold. Fluff everything up, I take my brush and brush out instead of down. You will look like an 80s rock star. Don't panic.
Brush the upright pincurls up, then add a little pomade and work that through with your fingers. Play with it a bit, brush more if needed, fluff it up, and once it looks like a nice, even set of curls, take a bobby pin, and pin from the back forward. Do this at various places on your crown, until it looks satisfactory. It should have lots of body, and the pins should be hidden from the front view. It takes me about three to four pins, but use as many as necessary.
Now, take the side of your hair, and pull back, pinning right above the back of your ear. Criss cross the pins if needed. You can also nix the pins and use some pretty combs! The photo on the right shows the difference between one side being finished, and the other only being half done. The pinning back makes a world of difference.
The finished style will look something like this. Add a ribbon, scarf, hat, or leave it be, you now have an authentic 1940s hairstyle :)

sort of off topic but that red shirt looks beautiful. i love the color and the way it looks on you.
Thanks for this! I will have to give it burl - but might need to grow my fringe (bangs) out first or it may look just a wee bit odd.
Just gorgeous Solanah! Thanks so much for posting this- your hair always looks amazing :) (and I was always curious how you did it :) ).
This is fabulously perfect....
thank you.... I am off to practise!

I've done pincurls since I was little (ok technically my mom did them then). After reading this, I am inspired to do them now but there just isn't enough time for them to dry tonight :( Thanks for the step by step for this style though!
I remember doing this when I was wee-little. It didn't look half as good as yours...mine looked like some sort of exotic poodle that got caught up in a rainstorm.
Lovely, people with naturally curly hair are lucky! Think of the time they save!
Thank you for sharing.
guauuuu!!!!
This hairstyle is perfect for my best friend Carmen!
thanks!

Thankyou, this was really helpful and I can't wait to give it a try! I especially like how you added the little pink arrows/curls, they make things alot clearer. I'm so glad you're back to daily posting, not just giveaways.
This is a great post. Thank you. !
And the first style fits great to your face , I love it
wonderful tutorial .. Thank you for sharing. Your hair turned out lovely
Thanks for sharing! You always have the cutest hair. I think my biggest problem is that I panic when I get to the 80s looking bit, but now I know what to do. :)
So cute! I especially love the look with a ribbon. ;) I have been rag curling or using sponge rollers on my hair a lot lately; mostly because I've let my hair get too long for pin curls. Should think about getting it trimmed soon. ;)
♥ Casey
how beautiful!! Love how you did it. I agree about the ribbon look. nice job. Sometimes I miss doing these shorter hairstyles that I can no longer do since my hair has grown so long.
Ernest Hemingway is my favorite author. I wish I had seen the Palermo scarf giveaway yesterday. Shucks. I just bought a silk scarf with a matador on it because I love Hemingway so much. Nice hair tutorial by the way. Thanks!
very helpful tutorial - I'll give it a go once I have my hair cut to a more manageable length (I know I've been promising myself a haircut for MONTHS - it'll happen one day, I swear!)

Any suggestions for a good pomade? Excellent tutorial. I love the look with the headscarf.
thank you this looks very handy. My ahir is a night-mare to try and style, it's annoyingly slilcky so won't hold anything unless it is drenched in hairspray, which isn't a very good look. I also have a book on how to do vintage styles, I've yet to use it properly but I'm looking forward to it :)
Great tute! Makes me want to cut my hair off to try, but I have been growing it out from a pixi with Kardashian styles in mind!
Someone asked what kinds of pomades to use, I dipped into a lot when I was a stylist. I personally like Paul Mitchell's dry wax because it is really thick and pasty. Those runny, slime like ones are way to wet for this. A little dab of a sticky dry wax rubbed between your fingers and lightly distributed through the hair will give awesome hold. Sorry to write a novel, pomades can be so confusing!
Great tutorial! I love all vintage hairdo's!
I do have to say, this was a amazing 1940's hair how to!!! :D
Divine as always
Miss Amethyst
your hair looks amazing. this was a great tutorial, i am going to try this one maybe this weekend. Thanks for posting this!
Thnks for nice and ready-to-use tutorial. I'm great fan of your appearance!
Greetings form Poland!
You look like a 40s movie star! Stunning.
That is so lovely and you look beautiful!
Thanks so much for the how to. I love 40s hair so much, and this looks easy enough for even me to do even though I haven't had much luck with pin curls in the past ;)
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much.
this is adorable! i want to give it a go, though it probably won't look nearly as polished as yours! you look stunning :)
PS- your blog is just fantastic.
Great post! Ever consider doing youtube tutorials??
By the way, do I spy a kitty blouse while brushing out the curls???
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've never done standing pincurls, got to give it a try, I loved the result of yours =)
Awesome tutorial, I usually do rags curls to varying success so will give this a go! :)
Just now seeing this post! How wonderful and great pics! I tried this last weekend and am brand new at "trying" these styles. Now you have inspired me to do more ;-)
Brande
Cherry Rosesea, yesm it's my little kitty nightshirt :)
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! Now I see. When I did pin curls a few years ago it turned out a bit fro-ish. LOL and on Easter Sunday no less. Thanks so much for doing this post. I NOW have to try this!
(woops was accidentaly signed in as some one else)
Thanks for this tutorial, I am now motivated to stop being lazy and trying pin curls in the evening. I also wanted to let you know that I added this link to my blog post about 1940's hair accessories. Check it out if you like
Thank you for this! I own the Vintage Hairstyling book and LOVE it. I haven't found many vintage hairstyles for mid-length, but now I know what style I'll use tonight. :) Do you use a satin pillow/pillowcase at all for your hair? I hear it doesn't crush the hair while sleeping.
Oh YAY!! I cant wait to try this when I get home! I'm just hoping it will work well with my longer hair! i havent done pin curls in a while so i better start practicing. lol thanks again, your tutorials are such a big help
I know that this is not the acutal topic of this post, but I love your make up!
I clicked over here from a link on Penny Dreadful's blog and I'm so glad I did! Your hair looks absolutely incredible.
♥ Leia
After reading this tutorial, I google searched "upright pincurls" and you were the top result! I thought you might get a kick out of that ^_^
Great tutorial!! Thanks!!
Such a great tutorial, I love hair like this, but have never tried it
Lauryn, nope, just regular cotton
Any tips on how someone with the finest hair (the most I can usually achieve even with hot rollers or irons is a vaguely 70s flick) who lives in an extremely humid place can do 40s hair?! I also have kids so I don't have a lot of time. Getting very frustrated! :(
(I love your blog by the way) :)
Sarah, try out pin curls, they seem to have the best hold :)
Going to try this as soon as I'm more practiced at pin curls. Beautiful! Also, it's been killing me, what kind of robe is that you're wearing in the second batch of pictures? It's just lovely.
It's just a vintage kimono I bought years ago :)
i need help.i tried to do your curls and i'm sitting here with an afro(i know the fro is normal) but i dont know what you mean by brush the upright curls.i'll try to e-mail you to but i really need your help soon.p.s.i'm 12
Hello Carmen! First off, I think it's so cool you're 12 and trying out this style!
For the upright curls, the ones at the front, take the brush and brush very well in an upward motion, adding some pomade (even lotion works in a pinch) to smooth out the afro look. Hope that makes sense? let me know if you need any more help :)
xoxo
Solanah
Thank you sooo much for helping me solanah.i didn't do any curls in the front.oh well:).i though you should know you blog is a HUGE life-saver my 89 year old great-aunt is having a 1940s themed party and this is a perfect hair style.i was just going to wear it for the party but i love it to much from now on i'll wear it every day.THANKS SOLANAH!!!;)
Hello, thank you very much for these photos that show so well how to do the curls. I did it a few time but it seems that my hair does no agree to stay curled and always go back as it is. You are so good at reproducing the 40's style !!!!
I have just found this gem of a post! Thanks so much for showing how to make a 40s style hair-do, step-by-step and with photos. They came out lovely on you. I'm now very excited to try them on my own barnet!
Solanah!
Your linking back to this post from your latest hospital adventure has got me thinking about my last attempt with this hairstyle, which was - not good. So, I've got a curling question ("curly q"?) for you. What do you do with the very back of your hair when you do this style? Do you continue to curl in the same directions as pictured in the side-view until they meet in the middle? Do you just leave the back alone? Am I perhaps making my curls too small? Something else?
Help! and thanks!
- Miz L.
Hello :)
I usually let the pattern meet in the middle. Keep experimenting and you'll get the hang of it!
Best,
Solanah
Hey Solanah!
I was wondering where you got your hair net. it looks super durable. I got mine at dollar general and if a pin catches on it or anything like that, it makes a great big rip!
should i look at an actual hair store or someting?
thanks
Beth
Hello Beth!
I actually found them at Safeway of all places! A pack of two lasted over a year, thanks for the reminder I need to get more! Hope they still have them. Though if you can't find them there, I'm sure they carry them at Sally Beauty or similar stores.
xoxo
you look georgeous. even without the 40s hair...
You sure look beautiful like this! I have always love 40's hair styles. Never knew how, and this is a great tutorial. I will give it a try!
Blessings,
Susie

Column: ‘Size Profiling’ Harms Overweight Patients
The Sacramento Bee - Susan Ballenger.. One woman I talked to visited a new gynecologist, who, during her annual exam, began lecturing her about her weight. When the patient said she did not want to discuss weight loss, the doctor backed off. She resumed her lecture, however, during the pelvic exam, when the patient had her feet in stirrups and a speculum inside her. She told me she felt as if she were mentally “going somewhere else” — not unlike how many women feel while being sexually abused...

The top U.S. defense official is warning the country's troops that a ban on openly homosexual people in the military remains in effect, even though a repeal of the policy has been signed into law.U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has issued a memorandum reminding military leaders that it could take months for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to be implemented.The document says until then, service members who alter their personal conduct "may face adverse consequences."President Barack Obama signed the repeal into law Wednesday. The 1993 policy forced homosexual servicemen and women to keep their sexual orientation secret. Those discovered to be gay faced dismissal. The new law requires the military to develop a plan to transition to the new policy, and for the president, the defense secretary and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to certify that plan before it takes effect.President Obama has said senior military leaders tell him they plan to implement the new rules smartly and swiftly.Several Republicans in Congress crossed party lines to support the repeal, and Defense Secretary Gates and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, recently spoke in favor of overturning the policy.But those who want to keep the old rules say letting openly gay people in the military could cause problems while the United States is at war. The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James Amos, is one of a number of military leaders who have said they favor keeping the ban in place.General Amos has said allowing openly gay people to serve would be a distraction to other troops, but he says he will abide by the change.

The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2007-8 Ready-To-Wear Noir 12 February 2007 "WE want to be the brand that turns Corporate Social Responsibility sexy," Noir designer Peter Ingwersen has said – and there's no doubt that he's going to succeed. Entitled Reflection, the label's fourth collection promised us "a celebratory tribute to free thinking, self-invention, sexual emancipation, and glamorous decadence" inspired by Thirties Weimar Berlin. It was a great wake-up call on the first full day of London shows, full of energy, sparkle, great tailoring, sex appeal – and it set the mood for a week of catwalk success: how could we fail to be in a good mood when the whole thing began with miniature smoked salmon bagels and almond croissants. The mirrored catwalk in the BFC tent came alive with a cream wool trench and tailored trousers with Swarovski crystals growing up their spiralling seams for a collection that continued to prove Ingwersen's talent for dispelling any notion of hippie grunge from environmentally conscientious fashion – a stunning corseted leather coat dress; light-as-air chiffon blouses tucked into high-waisted pencil skirts; lingerie-style evening dresses that could have been pulled from a perfectly kept Twenties boudoir. Sheer grey knits that were bowed at the waist made a sloane moment sexy and as Nena's 99 Red Balloons took over from Bowie on the soundtrack, finely pleated chiffon dresses, glittering lace-edged minis and dickie bows took day into evening. Lily Cole and Erin O'Connor appeared in gold tissue-thin organza as a finale to a show that was magnificent in its elegance – balloon-thighed britches and Swarovski braces notwithstanding, Noir is most definitely back in for next season.

The Show Catwalk Close up Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2012-13 Menswear Gucci 15 January 2012 Jessica Bumpus YOU’VE got to love a Gucci man – he’s all about a bohemian grunge vibe this season, all wrapped up in multiple layers which, our show notes told us, did so “like the bud of a flower”. Here was the real key to the theme: flowers – from botanical prints of roses and irises created exclusively for the house, to the jacquard of evening jackets. “These are tormented poets with an effortless attitude when it comes to mixing and creating a personal style. Fabrics that allude to the 19th Century, softly oversized pieces, shirts with a dandy hint and the nonchalance of a newly-arrived young Hollywood actor,” explained Gucci creative director Frida Giannini.Oscar Wilde is very much the hero here – think rich, dark tones, an emphasis on eveningwear and luxe in velvet and military detailing and all-encompassing coats.SEE THE GUCCI SHOW ARCHIVE | http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/autumn-winter-2012/mens/gucci/full-length-photos/gallery/6 | 2013-05-18T10:45:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Last week, a Florida appellate court handed down a fascinating decision affirming the denial of a suppression motion while making clear the court’s strong suspicion that the officers’ testimony was false. The case is Ruiz v. State.. From the opinion:
Cases like this one call into question the fairness of some trial court proceedings.,.

Unsophisticated Clients and the Supreme Court Bar:
I'm delighted that Richard Lazarus has joined us to discuss
his fascinating article on Supreme Court advocacy and the Supreme Court bar
.
After reading the article, I found myself wondering if the uneven distribution of top advocates is more a result of unsophisticated clients or the gap between economic "haves" and "have-nots." I tend to think it's more the former than the latter. There are many Supreme Court lawyers eager to help out for free on viable cases (or better yet, granted cases), so I think the role of resources is actually smaller at the Supreme Court than elsewhere. But the most sophisticated clients know that Supreme Court advocacy is a weird art, and that you often get better results when you have a trained artist helping you out. This isn't always true, obviously, and to be clear I don't think it's is a good thing. But for better or worse it's often the case. So the most sophisticated clients will pick their lawyers carefully and will aim for experienced counsel with a deep understanding of the Supreme Court. Unsophisticated clients are less likely to realize this, and their interests sometimes suffer as a result.
I would guess that's the major problem in criminal defense cases. Lazarus states at the top of page 95 that criminal defense lawyers sometimes decline assistance from Supreme Court experts, preferring to "go it alone," and that this can lead to a major gap in advocacy quality between the government and the defense. But the underlying problem is that the clients will tend not to know any better. A young and uneducated criminal defendant serving 30-to-life in a maximum security prison isn't likely to be a specialist in appellate practice. He isn't likely to know that he should ask his trial lawyer to step aside and find top-notch appellate advocates out there eager to represent him for free.
Of course, making more clients more aware of the effectiveness of different types of lawyers is no easy task. Maybe it's an impossible one. But perhaps the attention to Professor Lazarus's article is itself a start.

My name is Larry and my call sign is W9AMR. I am located in South Bend, Indiana. That's my son Justin in the picture above. We primarily run AM in the recognized AM windows on most bands. On this page you learn a bit about me, my son, and my fellow Ham radio operators. Some of us love to build and restore vintage radio equipment. I am one of those Hams. There is something neat about bringing an old radio back to life. I hope you find this site interesting and informative. Have a nice day and enjoy the web site...
This is my son Justin at the controls of one of our T-368's. Our call sign is W9AMR.
He likes to take over control of the radio station. He really loves to watch the meters move and to turn the knobs (some times while I am on the air!) Something tells me that he will be a ham radio operator someday. One of his first words was CQ CQ. As you can see he is not very mic shy.
We can be found on 160, 75 and 40 meters running AM phone. Hope to talk to you soon!
The transmitter you see in the above pictures is the famous B & W T-368. I am running it with the matching receiver, the R-390a. The one I have is made by Electronic Assistance Corp. There were several companies that built both pieces of equipment for the government. For more information about my T-368 transmitter see my T-368 transmitter page.

Ed Sheeran may not be dating Taylor Swift -- at least, that's what he says -- but that doesn't mean he can't sing her songs.
While appearing on an Australian radio show recently, Ed performed an acoustic version of Taylor's hit "I Knew You Were Trouble," as part of a bit where guest artists perform the beginnings of popular songs, and then they start the real version up later on. Considering the stories that have gone around lately about him and Taylor, it's surprising that Ed agreed to sing the tune, but it's actually pretty awesome, and so far, fans have been enthusiastic, saying it's better than Taylor's original.
It remains to be seen whether or not Ed and Taylor will perform the song together when she launches her Red tour next week, and he tags along as the opening act. | http://www.wa1a.com/common/more.php?m=58&ts=1368873690&article=800DC77285E911E286DEFEFDADE6840A&mode=2 | 2013-05-18T10:41:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
"Should Christians stay away from yoga because of its demonic roots? Totally. Yoga is demonic," Driscoll said. "If you just sign up for a little yoga class, you're signing up for a little demon class."
Mohler received heavy criticism for his article calling yoga "contradictory" to Christianity. He responded to all the letters, emails and rebutal editorials by pointing out the following:
(1). Not one protest against his article contained a "theological" argument.
(2). More than 90% of the protests came from women.
(3). Those who protested are replacing Christianity with a religion of their own invention.
(4). Women who argue for yoga have no reference to "biblical Christianity."
(5). The evangelical world is in "worse shape" than he ever thought.
Even a casual attempt at research would have caused both Mohler and Driscoll to find websites such as Holy Yoga, which places their doctrinal statement on the front page. Under a detailed confession regarding the person of Jesus Christ, Holy Yoga is as theologically orthodox, if not more, than the Abstract of Principles of Southern Theological Seminary.
There are two main issues with Mohler's and Driscoll's comments about yoga. First, the spirit in which the comments are conveyed seems haughty. It sounds as if Mohler and Driscoll are saying those who oppose their statements against yoga are theologically incompetent. One of the tell-tales signs of spiritual arrogancy and an unhealthy debate is for one side to act as if the other side has no ability to counter one's arguments. Second, Mohler and Driscoll seem to be confusing a cultural bias with a theological argument. Instead of investigating what Christians who practice yoga actually believe, there is an assumption that Christians who practice yoga can't believe correctly.
One of these days we will realize that culture evolves, civilization's habits change, and peoples' perspectives alter over time. It used to be that culture considered fat people rich, prosperous and educated because people with access to an abundance of food became fat and were the elite of soceity. Now, culture often discriminates against fat people, believing them to be inferior to the elite of society. Those kind of judgments are wrong. In my opinion we Southern Baptists should be very careful about judging a fellow believer who practices yoga by assuming they aren't theologically sound. It would akin to judging a fat Southern Baptist pastor as theologically unsound before we ask him what he believes.
The best way to discover whether or not Christians who practice yoga are involved in a "dangerous" practice or participating in a "demon class" is to ask the yoga participants what they believe about Jesus Christ. Any judgment against Christians practicing yoga before this happens is at best premature or at worst reveals some sort of cultural bias.

This post is very personal to my life. Why? I am a Christian (former Hindu) who happens to practice Iyengar Yoga. I practice yoga at least twice a week with my yoga instructor. My main motivations for practicing yoga is for health issues that have been tremendously helped by yoga.
There are two parts to yoga. One is the physical exercises and other part is meditation. In Iyengar yoga the meditation comes at the end and it is only undertaken by people who have mastered the body first.
But I do practice Christian meditation and sometimes this also called yoga by some.
What are the demonic things I do in this meditation?
As I go through my daily routine (walking, working and so on) I say a short prayer of St. Francis.
My God and my all.
This short prayer (also called a mantra in hindu texts) centers me in Christ. Wherever I am.
I am known to say this even in my dreams.
I also do a form of meditation. This involves reciting the prayer of St. Francis s-l-o-w-l-y in my mind one word at a time, as a drop of water falling into a pond. understand the above form of meditation goes against the teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ against mere repetitions of prayer.
So these are the demonic things I do, while being centered in Christ.
Well said Thy Peace.
Well said.
A description of 'repetitive prayer' from Revelation:
8 . . . "Day and night they do not stop exclaiming:
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, Who was, and Who is, and Who is to come."
An MSNBC article says that he objects to "the idea that the body is a vehicle for reaching consciousness with the divine."
I guess that means that in addition to yoga, people should also give up fasting, preaching, praying, thinking, singing, going to church, helping others, etc. etc.
Thy Peace, perhaps we are a bit different in our theological beliefs, but I am not surprised that you are a meditator because of the spirit in which you usually communicate. Meditation, though I am not very accomplished at it, has changed my life for the better. In fact, meditation is really, really paying attention to life - that's one simple way of describing it. It's a partial "waking up" from the sleep-walk that we all fall into in our daily lives.
I aspire to try yoga someday. Sounds wonderful.
I do meditation all the time. But my meditation is solely on reading through and meditating on the Scripture. I am going through the book of Romans right now and mulling over and meditating on each phrase and how it relates to what Paul has already said or will say in a few verses. Meditating on God's Word causes me to find peace and spiritual growth through the washing of the water of the Word. This is Christian meditation that is found in the Scriptures. It is a means of grace that God has designed for us. But are "Christian" mantras a means of grace given by God? There are many who had a strong walk with God but who found themselves slowly drawn towards spiritual practices in common with non-Christian religions through the door way of yoga. For them it is not how they started, but how they will finish. For many who start these practices will end pulled away from the pure Word of God and firmly planted in spirituality that takes them away through subtle deception that causes compromise.
Our ministry sells a DVD called Yoga Uncoiled from East to West available at I would encourage every one who thinks that the practice of yoga meditation is compatible with Christianity to be willing to be challenged by watching this DVD to see what goes on behind the veil. It is an act of love to warn our brothers in Christ that there is subtle deception out there disguised as Christian spirituality.
I have to smile when I read this post.
I once commented to another blogger on 'imonk' who had studied about meditation and after viewing the film 'Into Great Silence', saw no point at all in any of it for Christian people.
Thy Peace has given me another idea to include in my original remarks to that man:
"In all your ‘studies’, did you ever ask to visit a monastery?
And to stay there for a while? You can do this, you know. Maybe you didn’t know.
This is an important question.
There is in Christianity that which cannot be contacted by simply reading or hearing. It must be lived deeply over time for it’s effect to be absorbed. For some, the background of silence is what is needed for the full impact of the Words of Christ to be experienced. These are the men and women that God ‘calls’ into the quiet. They understand what you may not know.
In the Gospel of St. Mark we find this: ‘And He saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while.’
The ‘deep silence’ may not be for everyone, no.
But there is a part of everyone that needs, at times, to ‘come away, and rest for a while’ because the world’s demands have drowned out the ‘quiet still Voice’ of the Lord.
A monastery?
Or the quiet of camping in the woods ‘by the still waters’ ?
Silent sailing at night out in the deep under the stars?
Or a steaming cup of coffee at four-thirty in the morning, before the household awakens, with a candle lit for prayer, instead of the electric lights?
We all have our mini- versions of the cloister, if we think about it . . . . "
And I would now like to add to my 'mini-cloister' list:
"A LYENGAR YOGA CLASS "
Thank you, THY PEACE :)
One of my college professors was a real Renaissance man. He knew about EVERYTHING. He had studied yoga and meditation. He said that he stopped one day because after meditating he stood before a class and could not produce the simplest calculation. His mind was blank- which was the goal of the yoga he was studying. In eastern religions the goal is to empty the mind. In Christianity the goal is to fill it with Christ. Yoga is not the issue. The real issue is what is being meditated on. The critics should stop being lazy and get the facts on what Christians are actually studying instead of 'demonizing' them!
I firmly believe that what matters is Who we are worshiping, not the form that worship takes. When God made a covenant with Abraham, it was done in the form of covenant-making as it existed in Abraham's time. God didn't reject the form as a "pagan" practice. Abraham divided the animals in half, and God passed between them. His power filled the form of Abraham's ceremony.
I think what matters is not whether we say a mantra, but what the focus of the mantra is, and Who we are focusing on when we say it. It is not whether we do yoga, but why we do it, that matters. I think this is a Scriptural principle, particularly in the New Testament. The external form takes a back seat to the internal power. As long as the practice is not inherently sinful, harmful to ourselves or others, we are free to turn it to the glory of God.
What's ironic is that Dr. Mohler admits that the evangelical world is "worse shape."
But don't most evangelicals who practice yoga, do it in order to get in or stay in shape?
The stinkers!!!!
First they turned Halloween into a "thing of the devil." Now they are taking on Yoga.
What's next---don't you mess with Old St. Nick or the great pumpkin!!!
Mohler is a LLH = "Lightweight Looking for a Headline" in my opinion.
Just think--a few weeks ago he was awing new students with his "over the top" personal library at his little SBTS President's Mansion and saying Time Magazine considered him a "leading theologian."
Mohler, et al, "better watch out / better not shout / Santa Clause is coming to town!!!"
Mohler interviews Philosophy prof at Denver seminary, Doug Groothius about yoga. Groothius happens to be an egalitarian and married to Rebecca Groothius who edited Complimentary without Hierarchy...the response to RBMW.
I think Yoga is ok. He is hard to understand sometime and his green pointy ears are very strange, but that little guy can hold his own with any Sith Lord in the Empire! Another thing I like about Yoga is...oh...wait...woops....my bad!
Just a couple of observations:
1. Many want to "Christianize" things they like such as Yoga. This can be confusing and deceptive if we are not careful.
2. I agree with Mohler about Yoga and the dangers. I also agree with what Cheryl wrote that folks can easily be lured in deeper without realizing it. It would be less confusing if it is just "special stretching" to call it something else. I, personally like the stretching positions and practice them but it has NOTHING to do with my mind. It is strictly a physical exercise.
Keep Matt 12 in "mind" when emptying the mind:
43"When an evil.

In "The Church's One Foundation",we sing about this "mystic sweet communion....". I certainly hope all this doesn't cause a re-think of all that....

Absurd! Trying to find God through any means other than Christ is absurd and unbiblical. The Holy Spirit guides this process, not some man-made bodily alignment process. Yoga, or Labyrinths for that matter serve no purpose but to replace the Spirit with an idol. Would better to bang ones head against a brick wall to a bloody nub and find God than all this nonsense.
Religion in the physical, Wade, is a sad thing to be teaching your followers. You lead them to hell and not to Christ. Meditation on self is for the eternally damned. That is what they will do for eternity. Prayer and obedience to Christ is for the redeemed.
You're on a roll...
Mind-emptying meditation works for all religions:
sound of silence
Mind-emptying meditation is a well-known method of self-hypnosis:
self-hypnosis
Even Satan can heal and work miracles. But do we actually believe that God has withheld the best and most direct path to physical and spiritual health from us, by utterly failing to even hint at them in the pages of scripture? (remember not to try lifting a few proof texts out of context)
Think about it! ;-|

Wade,
Now that OU is back on track to go to the Big 12 game you must really be bored if this is all you can come up with. Please find better things to complain about in the SBC. I'm sure they are out there if you look real hard.
It seems that those promoting yoga in the West are taking Eastern terms, like mantra, and assigning completely new meanings to them? Al Mohler is raising a legitimate concern based on the emails he has received and I believe you are over generalizing his argument. He suggests that those who engage in the exercises in a Christian context shouldn't call it "yoga," lest they promote confusion of Christian meditation with Hindu meditation. Hindu meditation is designed to empty the mind of external sources of knowledge so that one can find enlightenment from within. Christian meditation focuses the mind on the Word of God that the Holy Spirit might use it to transform our thoughts and actions. I don't doubt that there are Christians who promote the latter and package it as "Christian yoga." The question is: Should they call it "yoga"? Whether you agree or disagree, I think there's a legitimate discussion here.
John,
Tthose promoting yoga in the West are taking Eastern terms, like mantra, and assigning completely new meanings to them ..."
Uh hmm.
It's a little like taking the Arabic word "Allah," which means God, and redefining it to mean "The Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Not necessarily wrong if, like many said above, who is being worshipped is the only Savior given among men.
Kevin Crowder,
You are missing the point by creating a straw man. No Christian who practices yoga is "Trying to find God through any means other than Christ." We all would agree that to do so would be unbiblical.
The issue is, plain and simple, "Can a genuine Christian who has come to know God through Jesus Christ, the only Savior given to sinners, practice yoga?"
Mohler and Driscoll say "no" -- or if one does "call it something else."
I say there's nothing wrong with taking the terms that lost people are familiar with, redefining them, and teaching them about Jesus Christ -- which after a quick examination of a few Christian yoga sites is what these Christians are doing.
Off on a staff retreat.
Everyone meditate over what you have written before you stretch out your finger and punch "Enter."
Smile.
Wade,
I think their point is that Yoga is not an amorphous thing left open for each practitioner to fill in the gaps. It came from somewhere. Mohler is arguing that it is an alternative gospel that is incompatible with a solid Christian theology.
Those who strip down Yoga of its spiritual dimension in order to make it compatible with the gospel are not really practicing Yoga anymore. They're just doing some exercises. This is the danger of a consumer culture that feels every right to pick and choose certain elements of every religion and customize it to one's own liking.
"This is the danger of a consumer culture that feels every right to pick and choose certain elements of every religion and customize it to one's own liking."
Exactly. This is what Augustine did in renaming the statues of pagan gods into Christian "saints". This is what the reformers did when they merely renamed the priest into the pastor, sacraments into ordinances, etc.
Check out this link: interview with a zen master. How can any Christian think that it is a trivial thing to adopt all the terminology and many of the practices of this obvious pagan religion and sanctify it with Christianese? A rose by any other name...
Sorry, I wrote Augustine when I meant to write Constantine.
"Everyone meditate over what you have written before you stretch out your finger and punch "Enter.""
How can we meditate over what we've written when we aren't even supposed to meditate on what GOD has written?
A "staff retreat"... yes, retreat! You are being defeated by scripture and the real Holy Spirit! Let the "generals" rethink their strategy and consider surrendering to God and renouncing this false king.
I like Yoga, and don't know what all the fuss is about. Sure, I don't think he got enough credit for his defensive skills behind the plate, and his sayings like "it ain't over til it's over" show he is not a great philosopher or theologan, but you people need to get off his back!
I'm all for Yoga!
Strider Said:
" In eastern religions the goal is to empty the mind. In Christianity the goal is to fill it with Christ."
AMEN! so few words, so much truth.
Why do people still give credibility to Mohler? I gave up on that years ago. Education and a quick mind to do not equal wisdom.
If two people do yoga and practice it exactly the same, can they say that one is for the purpose of emptying the mind while the other is for filling it? If both chant a sound and reach the same kind of "enlightenment", can one say that the chanting emptied their mind while the other says it filled their mind?
Doublespeak!
"It's a little like taking the Arabic word "Allah," which means God, and redefining it to mean "The Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Actually, that is a big problem. Lots of people, even professing Christians, do think it is the same god as the God of Abraham.
Words mean things and when they lose or take on variations of their meaning, confusion reigns.
So when immature believers see the Word "yoga" approved by other believers, they think it is ok. After all, it is "spiritual".
It is not that different than when the mega church bookstore sells Rob Bell or Joel Osteen books. That communicates approval of their doctrines.
I don't think Mohler made a good case in his original article. He does not make distinctions and only later admitted that if they are simply stretching, it is not Yoga as Yoga is defined.
Strider: " In eastern religions the goal is to empty the mind. In Christianity the goal is to fill it with Christ."
I was raised Society of Friends. They attempt to empty the mind every Meeting precisely in order that it may be filled with God; perhaps in that complete silence can we listen fully. There is a long, long Christian tradition of trying to empty out the self so that there is room for God to come in.
It frustrates me when ancient Christian practicess are called unholy merely because other religions share them. Should we give up praying next?
Lydia,
"Words mean things and when they lose or take on variations of their meaning, confusion reigns."
I don't disagree. That's why I think those in a Christian yoga class are instructed about Christ. That which I resist is a general denunciation of all Christians practicing yoga without the caveat that some Christians could be meditating and filling their minds with the good news of Jesus Christ while stretching and call it Holy Yoga.
:)
The problem is with the word Yoga. What does it mean? Obviously it means different things. There certainly could be some forms of yoga that are not healthy for Christians. Other forms, called Yoga for simplicity, are simply a series of stretches and exercises. Can a Christian do that type of yoga? Or does the word Yoga taint the very practice?
The same applies to martial arts. Some forms of MA employ spiritual and meditative aspects which would no doubt be unhealthy for Christians. But does that mean Christians cannot learn how to disarm an attacker or flip some guy over their shoulder?
To come out and say that Yoga, or MA or ( ) is incompatible with Christianity is too simplistic.
Any physical activity can be coupled with a spiritual or religious component. By the same token those physical activities can be practiced without the spiritual or religious component.
We don't object to non-Christians eating bread and drinking wine do we, even though we perform that activity as part of a religious observance.
It is also interesting that Mark Driscoll is a huge fan of Mixed Martial Arts, to the point of suggesting that all real Christian men are fans of MMA.
Lydia,
I appreciate your comments about Allah not being the God of Abraham. I got accused of "splitting legalist hairs" last week when I made the same statement. Allah is a reinvented version of a tribal moon god, the very fact that Isalm did not come around until somewhere around 600 AD should give people a clue to this fact.
Would those of you who see nothing wrong or harmful with "Christian yoga" explain what it does that cannot be achieved any other way?
Are practitioners of "Christian yoga" more enlightened than non-practitioners? More spiritual? More loving?
Its a good idea to remember that most people who practice yoga are doing so purely for the physical benefits. They do not meditate on anything other than keeping their body in the proper position for as long as they can without hurting themselves.
There are physical benefits to stretching of various kinds. The yoga routines do have good stretches. IMO the best way to approach it is to divorce the meditation concept from the routine altogether. Next best is to replace them with a prayer time in general with the Lord. Have a good long chat with God. I think anything beyond that is not the best though it still may be OK to recite a prayer I don't think its the best thing to do. Having been raised as Catholic I now do not see any great benefit to reciting rosaries or repeating saints prayers. Best to say your own from your heart.
Bottom line is to NOT repeat the spiritual recitations of the yoga routines even if you are aiming them differently.
I have read a lot of comments that reference "emptying the mind". Meditation is about emptying the mind of distractions - of compulsive thinking.
"What's for lunch?" "I have to remember to pick up the cleaning" "I can't believe she wrote that!"
Replaying argument in our heads, inventing fantasy arguments, thinking of all the things we have to do, trying to pursue some little chemical pleasure (candy, rest, complimenting oneself) etc. etc. etc. etc.
Meditation is about trying to wake up to life, rather than sleep-walking through much of it driven by urges which lie below the surface of our mindfulness.
As the song leader started a repetitious new song, I overheard an elderly woman say, “Here we go with another little ditty.”
The leader said, “Just turn your mind off.”
Is this type of church singing of almost chanting a type of yoga?
That's exactly what the zen master said in that link above. Turn off the mind from its normal activity.
But if yoga is tied in any way to a Christian's spirituality, it is much more than mere exercise, and it is being used as an elitist path to "enlightenment" or "more spiritual than thou". That's the attitude I always see in those who practice yoga or mysticism. They look down their noses at Christians who don't practice them or who think they're spiritually dangerous. Just like Gnosticism.
Point being, that if yoga/mysticism isn't a spiritual requirement or exclusive path to spiritual maturity, then the Christian has no need of it. Why work for that which we all receive for FREE when we are saved-- the indwelling Holy Spirit? Didn't we get all of Him when we were saved?
I see nothing in yoga/mysticism to compare to the indwelling Spirit and nothing keeping me from knowing God as "abba, father" in the Word or in my "cluttered" mind.
Some people see a meadow as "cluttered". After all, it's filled with many forms of life and they are not marching like an army. But I see that meadow as the design of God, a harmony that needs no "practices" or "disciplines". It just is. And that's what the mind filled with the Word is: a spiritual meadow, cluttered with life.
I'll take that meadow over the stark, gray, bland "order" of mysticism any day of the week. You can't claim that this "ordered" mind is anything else.
Jesus, the Word, the Spirit... I have it all and it was a gift.
A lot has been written about this topic, and most of it unnecessarily.
I think that Wade and Lydia hit upon the true issue when discussing the meaning of the word "Yoga."
If that word is defined by it original meaning by those who created Yoga, I suspect all of us would be in agreement (or at least a substantial portion of us).
In the U.S we have the uncanny and wonderful ability to take something from another culture, to keep its moniker but re-create it into something else.
That's what we have done with Yoga.
I did a quick search on-line for a definition of Yoga. Here is what I found:
yo·ga[ yṓgə ]NOUN
1. Hindu discipline: a Hindu discipline that promotes spiritual unity with a supreme being through a system of postures and rituals
2. system of exercise: a system or set of breathing exercises and postures derived from or based on Hindu yoga
[ Late 18th century. < Sanskrit yogaḥ "union" ]
In the U.S., 99% of the people who practice Yoga, practice the later, not the former, though the derivation is from Hindu practices.
I suspect that there is not one of us that is going to say that Yoga, as defined by "spiritual unity with a supreme being through a system of postures and rituals" is Christian.
But many of us, have been to the local YMCA or something similar to "Holy Yoga" (that must make the people who keep the flame of the founders of Yoga puke).
There is nothing unholy about a local YMCA stretching class called "Yoga."
The term "Yoga" and the practice of Yoga in the U.S. has been so completely bastardized from its original concept and meaning that in my opinion, it is harmless.
I have taken Yoga classes, and have found them quite helpful to my endurance athletic performance. But the classes I took had no spiritual component or true Yoga masters etc.
I will agree that there is a good warning to unknowledgeable people who may become involved in Yoga studios where they have spiritual classes in addition to the stretching. They should know what "Yoga" means and from where it is derived so they can avoid things that would not be helpful.
I think that it is fine for Dr. Mohler to point out the difference between how Christianity teaches people are to come to know God, and what Yoga teaches.
I think his writing and communication would be better if he were more clear with his definitions. That would have dispelled any incorrection notions that have so dominated the discussions.
If anyone should be upset about all this, I think it would be the creators and founders of Yoga.

Anon,
That's one of the problems with Christianity - it can degenerate into a religion with no concrete practice for self-improvement. Christianity is profoundly mystical - it says "fill the mind with Christ" but too often it offers no practical methods for doing so.
But if one wants to preserve the status quo in one's mental activity, then meditation is probably a bad idea. I have found, however, that developing a bit of mental discipline (and in my case it's only a bit!) has been extremely effective.
But of course, I think some people focus more on the spirit of what one is pursuing and others focus more on the "correct" names and mental pictures.
As a Lutheran minister friend of mine said recently, "Who am I to tell the Holy Spirit when, where and how it should do its thing?"
Hinduism is a generous, ancient religion with much to offer..
Steven Stark,
Problems with Christianity? You mean "Jesus Christ and him crucified" isn't good enough? Can't the Holy Spirit "improve us"? And isn't it clear that filling our minds with Christ means what Paul said to the Philippians, and Romans, etc.?
Christianity isn't about methods or practices or disciplines from the world's religions. It is not defective or incomplete. The "status quo" you deride as inferior is what the Christian knows as "the Sabbath rest", a place of having peace with God. And it's all given for free to any who ask.
Christianity isn't about ME, about SELF, but about JESUS. All the "discipline" in the world is a mere house of cards compared to the Rock that is the risen Jesus.
(See the "holier than thou" attitude from the practitioners of mysticism/yoga?)
So who all here did MasterLife back in the day?
Go on, raise your hands.
Remember the last session?
The whole find a quiet place, relax, and meditate on the Lord with copious amounts of prayer?
Same thing if you ask me...
So basically you can't start your day with a calm relaxing meditation centered around Christ while doing stretching exercises that are good for you?
That would first explain the obesity and gluttony of an overwhelming majority of our pastorate that everyone notices but no one addresses.
No. Yoga is perfectly alright if you're meditating on the Word of God and spending time with Christ. That's no different than those who have micro-worship sessions in their cars or who lock their office door for a half hour to have a bible study of one.
Heck, if you really want to make them mad, make sure you have a glass of red wine with lunch afterwards...
What DO Christians 'chant' these days? Oh, yes, they DO 'chant'.
And the litany goes like this:
'We thank You Oh Lord that we are not like those other sinners who:
-practice yoga
-celebrate 'The Great Pumpkin'
-drink wine
-have gender issues
-pray using 'Allah' for 'God'
-celebrate St. Nicholas at Christmas
-just love Halloween
-accept people as they are
-have no problem with the Easter Bunny
-here we can add your own speciallity
of what makes 'us' better than 'them'
Now THAT's a 'litany', but just not one of praise (except to ourselves)
My own personal favorite, of which I am SO very guilty is 'God I thank You that I am not like those others who engage in the 'pointing of the finger'.
Time to sing a new song unto the Lord. . .
it's long overdue
How many ways can we say that Christian meditation is on the BIBLE? Yet somehow, now this is the same as yoga!
Of course, that only brings us back to the question, who needs yoga?
Can a moment of meditation bring you closer to Christ ?
See for yourself:
I have never been involved with Yoga, although I do have friends who have been/are. Yet this post and the comment thread reminds me of an experience I had long ago.
I made my living a little differently than most people before God saved me. My entire way of life drastically changed after my conversion. I had to leave most everything behind.
After having been a Believer for a little over a year, I went to hear a well known evangelist preach. It was during the time when almost every professional evangelist had at least one sermon against demonism and Satan worship taking over America through the likes of Anton LaVey.
During the evangelist's sermon he mentioned the evils of practicing Martial Arts due to the presence of demons in the lives of those are "caught up in it and spend hours and hours practicing it." (not an exact quote, but pretty close)
Now, I must admit, I had known some pretty evil guys who were very good at Martial Arts, but I had not encountered any who could levitate, hurl green vomit from a rotating head or had tried to get me to join the Church of Satan. Their evil desires were usually to leave you in a broken heap on the ground.
After the sermon, I got the opportunity to spend some time with the evangelist. During the conversation, I realized he knew very little about Martial Arts as a whole and especially as it was practiced in Western culture.
One part of the exchange we had that I remember was something similar as the following:
He said, "Karate people are in danger of letting demons into your lives." To which I replied, "Well, preacher, all I know is that it has kept a whole bunch of devils from takin' it."
That particular evangelist is still holding meetings. I don't think he preaches much against Martial Arts anymore. Especially since the chief Parliamentarian for the SBC since back around 1986 is a Black Belt. :-)
I saw the film biography of Bruce Lee. Everybody would agree that Bruce Lee wasn't what we'd consider an evil man. But toward the end of the movie he was told he had to "choose a demon".
So demons are okay as long as they don't make someone a serial killer or pedophile or ::shudder:: a fundy?
Whatever you people want to call this religion you're making up as you go along, I just hope someday you'll accept Jesus as the ONLY savior and stop trying to add the world's spirituality or organizational charts or whatever to Him. And please, stop looking down your noses at people who disagree with you.
Steven Stark: "Hinduism is a generous, ancient religion with much to offer. "
Go ask some shudras or chandalas what they think about that.
Hinduism is a vicious religion which denies Christ and imposes unending "karma" on people. Choose a god, hope that you can make them happy and maybe you won't come back in a lower caste.
Generous? In what way?
Steven Stark,
You need to inform your Lutheran minister friend that said, “Who am I to tell the Holy Spirit when, where and how it should do its thing?"
That the Holy Spirit is not an “it” but a person.
Steven Stark comments, "I have read a lot of comments that reference 'emptying the mind'. Meditation is about emptying the mind of distractions - of compulsive thinking." I agree with him completely. Although I have no first-hand knowledge of yoga, I do sometimes practice various forms of meditation in my walk with Jesus; and whether the source is eastern or western (and we in the west sometimes forget that Christianity itself is an eastern religion), the idea is to reduce distractions so that we can hear God speak. I would however go one step further than Brother Stark: those distractions can be not only little worldly things ("Did I turn the stove off?" "Is that my dog I hear barking?" and so on), but can also be me reciting Scripture or praying. After all: if I am busy talking, even if it is about God, even if it is in my mind rather than with my mouth, can I possibly hear the "still small voice" of God?
Something else that occurs to me: to say "yoga" is inherently evil or demonic comes quite close to saying that a "thing" is, in and of itself, evil and demonic, rather than how that thing is used/misused/abused. I am not sure I can agree with that; but then I don't think that beverage alcohol in itself is evil or demonic or sinful, but that such judgments come with its use/misuse/abuse. Maybe there are a few things which are inherently evil (a ouija board comes to mind), but yoga I'm not so sure about.
John
In the 1960's when my mother enrolled me in ballet class, my great-grandmother was certain it would lead to my moral ruin. In the 80's my grandparents where appauld by Christian Jazzercise classes.
It seems that what is going on is a dance of definitions.
Yoga, the word, traditionally means the whole system of Hindu discipline which encompasses both body AND mind, focusing on self-enlightenment, clearing away distractions so that the "true" self is found. That is antithetical to Christianity.
So, if one finds physiological benefit to the stretching and movement of yoga, should we call it yoga? I answer with other questions: If one finds satisfaction in adopting orphans and taking care of widows should they call it Christianity? If one enjoys singing songs together with others, should we label it Christian worship?
Calling the mere exercises "yoga" is not evil in itself, but calls for a redefinition which distorts the original and could end up harming someone who ends up in a REAL yoga situation.
Why do Christians want to call the exercises "yoga?" Is it because of marketing? Is it because of a fascination with Eastern religions? I don't think either of these is a good reason to co-opt the term.
I do think Driscoll, as usual, goes overboard with his language.
Let "yoga" mean "yoga," not merely the stretching. Then we have a reason to defend the term "Christian" against the onslaughts of those who would deny the Gospel is necessary for those who would call themselves Christian.
"In the 1960's when my mother enrolled me in ballet class, my great-grandmother was certain it would lead to my moral ruin. In the 80's my grandparents where appauld by Christian Jazzercise classes."
So anything goes, right? Nothing is dangerous if we personally benefit, right? There are no standards, no boundaries, as long as Jesus tags along, right?
And what part of Jazzercise is supposed to bring you closer to God?
Sheesh, what lame arguments people use to justify their pet heresies!
I've never heard of Jazzercize described before as 'a heresy' by an extemist-fundamentalist.
This is a first !
Are Christians allowed to walk around the block for exercise ?
Or even breathe ?
But that's another story . .
BNettles, You said exactly what I wanted to say but could not articulate!
"I've never heard of Jazzercize described before as 'a heresy' by an extemist-fundamentalist."
Wow... That would be HILARIOUS if it weren't due to completely missing a point! Point being: Jazzercise is not at all like yoga because only yoga is touted as a way to get close to God.
Get it?
Oh, and what exactly is a "extemist-fundamentalist", and how is it worse than a Buddhist/Hindu Christian, especially the kind that look down their noses at the unenlightened?
I didn't mean to imply that Christianity is inferior to other religions, simply that it often lacks concrete steps a person can take for self-improvement. And I have met few Christians who are not interested in self-improvement. I certainly believe that feeling the grace of God can "grease the wheels" for self-improvement, but if I don't practice the piano, the grace of God is not going to make me into a virtuoso. It's no different with our thought patterns and actions.
I sat and thought about whether I should use the pronoun "he" or "it" for the holy spirit. Maybe I chose wrongly! We will have to hope that the Holy Spirit doesn't mind. ;)
John Fariss,
Thanks for an enlightening comment. You are so right that it is not the nature of particular thoughts running through the mind that is the problem necessarily. It is the involuntary, reactive way of thinking.
I do think that Hinduism can be a very inclusive religions, and every Hindu I know has shamed me with the level of generosity they demonstrate. One of my college friends worked for hours at a gas station so he could earn enough money to rent out a restaurant and throw a party for all his friends. Wonderful, wonderful people. But yes, the caste system can be nasty business.
She's BAAAACK . . .
The Christian faith is all about us being saved, and then about us becoming like Jesus. The focus turns from self to God, and then we are transformed by the Holy Spirit-- not through our own efforts but through the power of God.
Of course this doesn't mean we don't lift a finger. God will only work with what we give Him. But our "work" is to trust Him and to live to please Him. We cannot know what pleases or displeases Him without reading scripture, because our own personal ideas of right and wrong are flawed. Neither can we take our cues from the world.
Nobody is saying other people aren't generous or compassionate, or that Christians can't improve in this area. All we're saying is that yoga, mystical disciplines etc. are cheap substitutes that the world uses because they don't have the Holy Spirit.
Our righteousness before God does not come from our good deeds but from whether we have the blood of Jesus on our hearts. Salvation is a gift, not an earned wage. What we do after that should all flow from gratitude for this gift, and that takes time walking with Jesus-- not through "disciplines" or postures but simply talking and listening, using the mind as well as the heart.
We are to sit at Jesus' feet and learn, not open our mouths like baby birds who have no concern about who or what feeds them or what is dropped in. Jesus taught His disciples with many words and with examples in action. But not once did Jesus lead them in meditation. In fact, when they asked Him how to pray, He used words; remember "the Lord's prayer"?
Look to scripture to find out how to grow spiritually, not to false religions, no matter how much they do appear to be "angels of light".

Well said, John Wylie, worth repeating...
Pastor Burleson,
Even though I do not subscribe to reformed theology or believe in TULIP doctrine, I applaud you sir for contending with those in your belief system who expect all others to fall into lock step with every pronouncement they publish. Keep up the good work!
"We cannot know what pleases or displeases Him without reading scripture, because our own personal ideas of right and wrong are flawed. Neither can we take our cues from the world."
."
Pondering is good.
But are we called to something more as Christian people?
John Wylie wisely states this:
"But in no way is the idea of emptying one's mind in view when the word is used in the Bible."
But yet . . . there is another way to see the emptying of self as the 'letting go' of our own mind's pride, and self-righteousness, and smugness;
and in its place, we may look to the Bible for a word from St. Paul:
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jes.
Meditation, to me is about having a conversation with the Holy Spirit. Prayer is when I talk and meditation is when I shut up and let God through the Holy Spirit talk to me. You can't hear what God has to say if your mind is cluttered with every day items.
I personally don't like humming, mantras or chanting. I found the one time I was at a rosary service that all the repitition did was numb your mind from hearing what God might have to say.
I liken this to Elijah when he was in the cave and he heard the "Still, small voice of God."
"You can't hear what God has to say if your mind is cluttered with every day items."
Not necessarily.
One of my sisters is a professional singer. I remember hearing her college choir and telling her afterward that I could pick out her voice. She wondered if she was too loud and I said, "No, not at all, the balance was perfect. But I know your voice and could hear it even when all the other voices were the same volume".
If you really know God, you will hear His voice even in the clamor of life and the "clutter" of your mind. The important thing is not whether the mind is cluttered, but what with.
Anon TK421
"If you really know God, you will hear His voice even in the clamor of life and the "clutter" of your mind."
sounds like 'I'dol worship to me.
"sounds like 'I'dol worship to me."
"My sheep will know my voice..."
Sounds like a lot of Christians can't tell Jesus from idols.
sounds like people casting God in their OWN image
Yep... God is whatever pops into your head when you empty it. That's what mysticism teaches.
The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that when we are saved we get the Holy Spirit to indwell us, and we are predestined to be conform to the image of Christ. It's all a gift-- something to be grateful for, not ashamed of.
Well, what an interest Biblical Critical thread today. I need to ponder it do I? :)
I would observe that "yoga" really is a form of praying conflating a Biblical practice nuanced by verses like these:
2Sa 7:18 Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psa 46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. [[[Selah]]].
Now one wonders, ponders or [[[Selah]]] where King David gets this whole idea of going into the Glorious Presence of Almighty God and being still and then conversing with Them?
Might King David have had sufficient access to Holy Scriptures such as this one then taking the time to ponder it and as a good Jew does after coming into an understanding of such, practicing it too, not only for his welfare and health, but also so he could guide God's people with God's Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding into the same Spirit of Grace and Truth as Moses was led into?
This seems rational to me?.
Notwithstanding Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel all got to had lunch with the Lord that day listening intently I am sure to the lunch conversation over roasted Lamb God was having with Moses, we also see after lunch Moses went forth as he was instructed and began sitting there for six days in silence before God, Who then proceeded to speak to Moses and as we all remember, wrote out the ten commandments with His finger on two tables of stone!
I think smart business people have been using yoga having hijacked those practices we see God taught to the earliest members of Abraham's people. And we should protest, or at least seek to collect royalties, not because of the practices yoga engenders, but for using the name without giving credit where credit is due? Maybe we should try to replace it's name back to what one can best describe the practice of sitting in the Presence of God as a God breathed and man practice Prayerful Intent!
What do you say, anyone game? :)
Gee, I sure do hope that they apply this 'evil roots' argument to everyting.
So much of our culture- from the days of the week, saying "bless you" when someone sneezes- even our Christmas trees ad Easter eggs are pagan in origin.
I get so sick of this "You have to justify everyting you do through the Bible nonsense....I don't think it was ever intended to be used in that way. Think about it- how much of our day to day lives can we justify 'Bilicaly.'
This gives me even more reason to thank God daily for freeing me from lies people have tried to wrap the Bible around.
You know, everything I really know about yoga isn't in a book selling yoga to Christians. It's reflected, accurately, on the wikipedia page about yoga.
I especially thought the Jainism comments and the references to tantric sexual rites (on the tantra wikipedia page) were interesting.
Of course, we can pretend there's nothing dangerous about a system of thought with strong gnostic/mystical undercurrents if we wish. But to say that Christianity is compatible seems to me to deny the truth of Scripture.
Are there health benefits from yogic "stretching exercises"? Possibly. But why do you need eastern, cultic methods when you can do the same thing without the baggage?
And I'm thankful I don't have to pose or control my breathing or numb my mind to know Jesus and bask in the warmth of His love.
But I suppose it was too much to ask for Christians to follow the Bible or be concerned about any spiritual dangers, because there are none, right?
So, for those of you who don't like the Bible being quoted when it impinges on your favorite practices, what do you need it for (the Bible that is)? Why not just throw it out? And why bash people about what they do or believe, since you don't like them doing the same thing to you?
Seriously, who needs the Bible or a profession of faith if the Hindus had a handy, non-judgmental exercise that gets you to God anyway?
Anonymous writes (among other things):

Or why did Jesus have to die on the cross if there is another way to re-establish the relationship between humanity and the inhabitant of the Holy of Holies? The claim of the book of Hebrews is that the Old Covenant was necessary, but neither sufficient--because sin continued--nor superior--because sacrifice had to continue, as well--after all.
"Or why did Jesus have to die on the cross if there is another way..."
Some of the regulars here will tell you that because Jesus died, then everybody worships the one true God whether they know it or not. So anything that sounds good to their ears is okay now, because Jesus paid it all. They've got a license to sin--- only there's no such thing as sin anymore, unless it's people trying to quote the Bible.
So they'll tell you Jesus died so that as long as people worship something and act spiritual, they're in. But come to think of it, a loving God wouldn't send anyone to hell anyway (except Bible thumpers), so that whole "Jesus died" thing is probably a lie the Bible thumpers made up.
Which is why the question, what do they need the Bible for anyway? Why does anyone need to know Jesus died for them, since everybody's going to heaven anyway, as long as they don't quote the Bible?

I find it hysterical that some people are looking down on those who practice yoga (or are OK with it) while whining tha those OK with yoga are looking down on them.
I find it hysterical that some people are looking down on those who don't practice yoga while whining that those who don't are looking down on them.
And I find it pitiful that so-called Christians can't even define saving faith or say there's anything the Bible teaches that can't be taught or practiced better elsewhere.
"Christians" promoting Hindu religious practices and hating those that still believe the Bible is God's Word... judgment is near.
What irritates me more than people trying to wrap lies in the Bible is throwing Bible verses out- Such as the "lord Lord" verse (Matthew 7:21).....cuz someone quoting that PROVES that those who support Yoga are not really Christians!11!!! When will someone throw out Matthew 7:13 futher "proof?"
"Christians" promoting Hindu religious practices and hating those that still believe the Bible is God's Word... judgment is near.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh please!
'Judgment' has always been near...that evil rock n roll, men with short hair, women going to work... I doubt the sanitized version of Yoga practiced by Americans is going to hasten anything.
Honest question...do you realize how much in your day to day life has (so-called) 'evil' roots?
Do you justify *everything* you do VIA the Bible? Can you justify being online with the Bible...I mean it could be an **GASP** "appearence of evil" you could be watching porn for all anyone knows...
..typing too fast...that shoud be men with *long* hair/ women with short hair...
"Oh please!" is right. What leaps!
People promote a dangerous spiritual practice, others appeal to the Bible against it, then the first group starts throwing out red herrings to take the spotlight off of what the Bible says about those practices. Even legalistic Judaism was seen as a danger in the Bible, but no, we can't say anything is dangerous or we're trying to call every single human activity dangerous!
And they think we who quote scripture are the ones with the attitude!
Good night!
WOW.
L's,
I hate yoga and women becoming pastors, but I love wine and Halloween.
Can we be half friends? :)
-K
PS: Won't be trick-or-treating this year though, going to hear Dr. Tom Nettles speak at a Reformation Day Conference. Can't decide if I want to dress up like Calvin or Spurgeon. :)
All I know is that though I may practive Yoga from time to time, I know in WHOM (Jesus Christ) and WHAT (His shed blood) I believe.
A few stretches and breathing exercises won't be changing that.
Kevin, I am going to wear my old bride's maid dress, give myself a big hair style, and add a tara& a sash that says "Miss Understood."
Or maybe I'll be a glowstick witch...haven't decided yet.
Either way, I am surely helbound for taking my daughter (who wil be a ladybug) trick or treating. I better get some good chocolate in exchange for my soul.
Why call "a few stretching exercises" yoga?
As for us Bible thumpers, we're so unenlightened and unspiritual we must have no souls to lose. Another reason not to bother the enlightened and oh-so spiritual. Let's let them tune out and invent their own personal Jesus, it makes them happy.
"As for us Bible thumpers, we're so unenlightened and unspiritual we must have no souls to lose."
you forgot 'mean as hell, too'
...because the stretching and breathing exercises ARE, in fact, yoga?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you forgot 'mean as hell, too'
WORD! Really, the only 'down looking' I see in this thread is from the 'Bible thumpers'.....those of us who engage in Yoga are far too relaxed and mellow to get our unders that twisted. ;-P
As I do my martial arts streatching and the exercises that have been know to be healthy for centuried, (longer than america is old) I think of:
Y is for YAHWEH
O is for ORDAINED
G is for GODLY
A is for ATTRIBUTES
I pray, exercise, stretch and meditate to the glory and honor of my Creator.
I think Romans 14 applies here. Vs. 3 & 4:.
Look it up in context. I know we're talking yoga, not food, but it seems the same principle.
I was looking for info on yoga from a Catholic perspective and, as usual, there is a 'diversity' of opinion on the subject.
But I did find the above site, one of the premier Catholic Universities in California, Loyola Marymount University,
has really well-developed programs for teaching yoga.
I have this feeling that 'diversity' is not to be feared in the Body of Christ, but embraced.
Sometimes people get distracted and worry way too much about the unimportant things;
and then they neglect those matters that are so dear to the very heart of Our Lord.
We are better off staying focused on Him.
Having read the comment stream, I don't see yoga as a threat to anyone's faith.
And I think it could really help people as a form of exercise.
I do respect that some people have concerns about the ancient practice of yoga, but I have noticed that, in the past, some of these same people have also indicated fearfulness about many other things that are strange to them.
For them, I wish more peacefulness in Christ, and, also in time, the gift of Christian courage to venture out of their 'comfort zones' with less fearfulness and less dread.
WOW!!!
Mohler, the twit, sure got us going with his tweet!!!
For me, it is of little worry and another Mohler "tempest in a tea pot."
I'm just glad I read all this stuff before taking my cup of coffee to the deck and watching the sun rise of the Pamlico just before it opens out into the Sound.
I watched the setting in a beautiful autumn sky last night / slept good / watched a Clint Eastwood movie / got up early / will watch the sun rise and praise God / then go cut some trees for my living.
Question: Is there any tantric value in pecking a keyboard of the 'puter late into the night????
Some of us are getting over-extended on this one. I'm getting my costume ready for Halloween / reading my Peanuts coffee table book in the Great Pumpkin section / oops---this one ain't worthy of great biblical exegesis.
Mohler throws rotten husks before swine rather than pearls of wisdom. How the heck did he ever get a graduate degree---I know---a Craker Jacks BoX!!!!
"you forgot 'mean as hell, too'"
Nice words from a "Christian". And of course it's always "mean" to disagree with the super-spiritual but not "mean" for them to mock us Bible thumpers. Mystics are such hypocrites.
But they have "tuned out" for so long it's no mystery why they can't hold rational thoughts together, so what's the point? If they want to practice Hinduism and put a Jesus mask on it for Halloween, let them. And if they want to call cow dung chocolate pudding, let them.
ike the attitude from ANON @8:06 is even remotely 'Christian"

Seriously. But it's probably Gene S, just look at his post right above it.
"mean as hell too"
Righteous !
Hinduism is a generous, ancient religion with much to offer.
Mon Oct 11, 12:45:00 PM 2010
Much to offer whom? The little girls who are forced to work as Temple prostitutes to make money for the Hindu priests? The widows thrown on the husband's funeral pyre? (This still goes on in remote areas) Or the Caste system.
Big business in India: Sonograms to determine gender and subsequent abortion if it is female.
Not a lot to offer females in your generous Hinduism.
" Nice words from a "Christian". And of course it's always "mean" to disagree with the super-spiritual but not "mean" for them to mock us Bible thumpers."
one out of control 'thumper' tried to 'take an uzzi' to a group of bloggers over at SBC Voices:
just a bible-thumper?
more likely, a blasphemer against Jesus and Paul, who is trying to use them as an excuse to practice abusive treatment of others
"more likely, a blasphemer against Jesus and Paul, who is trying to use them as an excuse to practice abusive treatment of others"
And there you have it: harsh words for people who use harsh words. Can the hypocrisy get any clearer? Judging the judgmental, making themselves God's ambassadors over people who allegedly make themselves God's ambassadors... THAT's hypocrisy! It's always fine to flame flamers, as long as the flamers are Bible thumpers.
Gene S. can fire at will and still be "loving" just because he's liberal. But let a conservative object and its hate speech.
Hypocrites!
Here comes another one:
blaspheming against Jesus is an unforgivable sin
take that !!!!
BONK !
THUMP !
WHACK !
thumper is down for the count

"Can't decide if I want to dress up like Calvin or Spurgeon. :) "

Q: Are you a Calvinist?
A: I'm as Baptist as Boyce.
Kevin, you would like Boyce. He thought you should use wine for communion. :)
Um. . . Wade said this before he left:
Off on a staff retreat.
Everyone meditate over what you have written before you stretch out your finger and punch "Enter."
But this whole conversation has descended to the level of personal attacks. Can we all stop flaming one another and agree to disagree?
Shhhhh . . .
bible 'thumper' is out cold
it's quiet now
Wade,
Someone once said, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
That is so very evident in the comments regarding the subject of your current article.
A chap by the name of Pope said,"Twas well observed by my Lord Bacon, That a little knowledge is apt to puff up, and make men giddy, but a greater share of it will set them right, and bring them to low and humble thoughts of themselves."
Wade,
Please hurry and get home and put up a new post so you can spare us all this discussion about something that noone cares about in the first place.
I'd even rather see yet another post on women preachers than this thing.
"Even a casual attempt at research would have caused both Mohler and Driscoll to find websites such as Holy Yoga, which places their doctrinal statement on the front page."
So ones doctrinal statement which affirms scripture (sola scripture), salvation through Christ alone... is enough to believe an organization is OK? does the same thing. Are you ready to support them?
I am not saying AM is right on this but the statement you made above is not true in all situations. Who gets to decide?
why not let people think for themselves . . . or is that now discouraged completely ?
Did it ever occur to anyone that AM 'goes with the flow'.
Could it be that AM follows 'the base'?
B Nettles said...
Kevin:

Your brother Tom does an impressive Edwards. :)

Tom
The bias Wade refers to in his post title might be a type of cultural xenophobia.
All the symptoms are there for that phenomenon, so the term fits.
Part of it is how Yoga is being defined. If it's just the exercises then it seems it's not really Yoga. If people try to Christianize Yoga such as Christoga is it really either?
"why not let people think for themselves . . . or is that now discouraged completely ?"
Does that include you letting AM think for himself and give his opinion, even if you disagree?
'."
If we are all allowed to have and give our opinion why ask:
"why not let people think for themselves . . . or is that now discouraged completely ?"
You contradict yourself.
'playing to one's base' may be a personal choice,
but it is not the same as 'thinking for oneself'
Dang and I love yogart! Guess I will have to give it up.Do they make a patch or some gum to help a person trying to quit,or, does one have to quit cold turkey?
A lady from our church was upset when eastern religious practices were brought into the church. She was told by the leadership that keeping the non-Christian spiritual name doesn't mean that the practice is against Christianity because they have Christianized it. She thought a bit and asked them if it was okay for her to have a witches coven that would focus on prayer. She asked them if calling her prayer group as "Christian witchcraft" would be acceptable to them. They were silent.
Often I wonder what God thinks. Is he okay with aligning our exercise programs with eastern religious practices and calling them the same thing? What's wrong with having a class on stretching or exercising? Do we really have to call it Yoga? And would God be offended by us calling it "Christian" Yoga when He seems to be very interested in keeping us pure and away from any unholy alignment with the occult? If not, then why not Christian witchcraft? Surely if God is okay with Christian Yoga, then we should be able to attach "Christian" to anything that had an occult or eastern religious foundation and God should be perfectly fine with that.
Cheryl,
I think you bring up a great point. Is it what we call something that matters, or what it actually is? What it promotes, what the spirit is, etc.?
If something is negative and selfish, but called a Baptist church, and something is positive and compassionate but called witchcraft, then I would take the "witchcraft".
But this has alway been a struggle with religion, or any other human organization. What is the right balance between preserving the personal experience and preserving the hierarchal, organizational structure? It's not always an easy call.
A quick counterpoints to some of the arguments/reasonings being advocated.
My name is a hindu name. Most person names in india who are hindus to begin with are names after gods and goddesses. I do not worship any hindu gods because my name reflects one of the hindu gods name.
I am fully familiar with the philosophy of yoga and the Atman or the Self (which is separate from the self). Yoga texts claim that the Self is the same in all human beings. The self is a mask over the Self.
I do not worship the Atman or the Self. I worship Jesus Christ.
I enjoy listening to music. Mostly classical music. Both western and eastern. I enjoy opera from different languages. I also enjoy listening to south indian classical music, which is ALL religious music. They are mostly praising indian gods. I do not worship indian gods while listening to this music. I happen to enjoy the music. In my heart I worship Jesus Christ.
I can not divorce my indian upbringing and culture just because I have become a Christian.
I enjoy cooking. I make elaborate indian dishes. They all have hindu names and meanings. I do not stop making indian dishes, because I have become a Christian.
The essence of what I am saying, it is the heart which matters and whom the heart is worshipping.
Clearly sorcery and witchcraft are a no-no for christians.
I firmly believe yoga is not wichcraft or sorcery.
Yoga is simply "awareness" and "focus".
I respect lot of the commentators here.
Thy Peace,
What is it about what you do that is "Yoga". What makes it "Yoga". Do you see where I am coming from with this?
I do not think the traditions of your upbringing are any cause for concern like food, names, etc. Some believers in the NT were named after Greek gods. Like Apollos. Those things are no cause for concern at all. Not even dress. My cousins were missionaries in India and dressed in Sari's, etc the whole time there. They ate the same food, etc.
And as I said, I love the stretching exercises/positions. I bought one of those cheap pocket books at the grocery years back with a whole slew of the positions of stretching but it said nothing about meditations, etc.
What if I announced Kaballah for Christians. Could it be done?
I can not claim Iyengar Yoga is Christian. There are hindu concepts and philosophy built into this yoga. Especially breathing and focus/meditation excercises. At least from what I know, one does not chant any mantras or attempt to "blank" one's mind. But so far my experience is all the asanas (poses/exercises) are simply bringing awareness and focus of the mind to the different parts of the body and most of Iyengar Yoga is the breathing in and out during various asanas that streches/relaxes various muscles of the body.
I am only in the beginning stages of this yoga. In the later stages of yoga, the "dhyana" asanas comes in. In Iyengar yoga, Iyengar believe that the body is easy to master than the mind, so most of the beginner asanas are body asanas.
I've taken classes from time to time at a local yoga studio. It calls itself this, and calls what it does "yoga". There is no guru: I have experience with the guru system, and the whole idea gave me the willies even before I was called to Christ.
Some of the language used during the class is non-Christian in the sense of belonging to other spiritual practices, but mostly it's non-Christian in the sense of lacking religious or spiritual content: The teachers there are very grounded in the practical physical aspects of the practice, and help people incorporate whatever modifications they may need to because of injury, etc.
Practicing yoga, for me, it helps me to have space in which I can breathe: to act instead of simply reacting. To focus on Christ more often in my interactions with others rather than on my own perceived or real woundedness. This would not even be possible without the Holy Spirit within me, and perhaps there are other ways I can listen to the Spirit, which I am open to and seeking for, but I wanted to share my experience, as a Christian person, with yoga.
Yoga may be good for some Christians, yet tempt other Christians to stray from Christ. I also do not expect it to be beneficial for all Christians to be vegetarian, as I have been, or to drink alcohol, as I do, as these things are not good for all people.
The owner of the studio, who is also one of the instructors, is not a Christian. He and I have spoken about the fact that I am a Christian and that he welcomes Christians to the studio. Some of you may point out that he may be Satan luring Christians into the evil of yoga. I mention his attitudes merely to note his lack of open hostility toward the faith. | http://www.wadeburleson.org/2010/10/judging-christians-who-practice-yoga-as.html?showComment=1286777725837 | 2013-05-18T10:12:43 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Denise T. Green knows the importance of having people around who are trained in case of an emergency. She had a cardiac event, just before playing tennis in 2004.
"I didn't make it to the match. I was found down by the water fountain and was dead. I was actually blue in color," said Green.
She said health care personnel who happened to be there tried to revive her.
"They pulled me away from the water fountain and started performing CPR," added Green.
When that didn't work they used an Automated Electronic Defibrillator, or AED, and got a steady heart rhythm - quick action that saved her life.
As an instructor for the Red Cross, Cindy Adams makes certain her students know how to administer help.
"...And then you get down here and open their airway and check for breathing for no long than 10 seconds. And if there is no breathing, then, on an adult, you would start CPR right away. You place the hand in the center of the chest, about the nipple line," said Adams.
Although the count has changed several times, the recommendation now is 30 compressions to two breaths. The teaching mannequin has a series of lights which tell you if you're doing it right. The compressions should be about two inches deep to get blood and precious oxygen moving to other organs.
"If you take a class from the Red Cross, you're liable to get a little packet that contains a mouth guard that you can use. It also contains some vinyl gloves, and it's small enough to go inside a purse or wallet," said Adams.
"If the classes were not available and people were not trained, I wouldn't be here. That's the simple truth," Green said.
The American Red Cross has guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). This is a medical procedure used during an emergency. The procedure helps to restore heartbeat and breathing to normal for people suffering from conditions such as heart failure, breathing problems and drowning. CPR extends lives. | http://www.waff.com/story/19776260/red-cross-training-can-help-save-lives | 2013-05-18T10:54:47 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

AViiQ offers a new power solution in their all new Slim Travel Adapter with a patented folding technology.
Santa Ana, California (PRWEB) January 28, 2013
AViiQ announces the launch of a new Travel Adapter designed to transform a UK 240V (Type G) outlet into US 110V (Type B) outlet. AViiQ’s unique patented folding technology allows the travel adapter to fold down to only 0.75 inch making it one of the slimmest travel adapters on the market unlike bulky traditional travel adapters which are often as thick as 3 inches.
“When traveling I’m not going to need every travel adapter under the sun so the AViiQ Slim travel adapter is the perfect accessory giving me the exact conversion I need for the destination without carrying extra unnecessary conversions in a bulky universal travel adapter,” says Alan Yeung, AViiQ Founder.
Travel adapters are an indispensable accessory when traveling so as part of AViiQ’s commitment to designing beautiful travel accessories with smart functionality. The goal at AViiQ was to reduce the space taken up by traditional travel adapters so that a travel adapter can be easily carried anywhere and used easily without any complex parts. The unique design of the AViiQ Slim Travel Adapter allows it to fold out into a wall outlet adapter but then quickly and easily fold down to a super thin 3.25 x 2 x 0.75 inch adapter for storage and travel. This small form factor allows it to fit into laptop bags easily without the odd bulky round shape found in most traditional travel adapters which take up much more space and may cause damage to other valuable devices such as tablets or laptops when in in a laptop bag.
The AViiQ Slim Travel Adapters also feature a built in replaceable fuse which protects your valuable electronic devices from surges, offer additional value and safety which is so invaluable when traveling and having the security of knowing that all connected devices are always protected.
AViiQ plans to release more Slim Travel Adapters later this year including UK to US, US to Euro, and many more.

Hurricane Sandy Is About to Blow Our Way: Wage & Hour Implications for Employers
By: Kara M. Maciel
Hurricane Sandy is approaching this weekend, so employers along the East Coast should refresh themselves on the wage and hour issues arising from the possibility of missed work days in the wake of the storm.
A few brief points that all employers should be mindful of under the FLSA:
- A non-exempt employee generally does not have to be paid for weather-related absences. An employer may allow (or require) non-exempt employees to use vacation or personal leave days for such absences. But, if the employer has a collective bargaining agreement or handbook policies, the employer may obligate itself to pay through such policies.
- An exempt employee generally must be paid for absences caused by office closures due to weather, if he/she performs work in that week. The Department of Labor has stated that an employer may not dock a salaried employee for full days when the business is closed because of weather. Partial day deductions for weather related absences are not permitted.
- If certain employees are required to be on-call (such as public safety, IT, or other essential personnel) during the storm, and the employee cannot use the time effectively for his or her own purpose, the on-call time is compensable and the employee must be paid. However, if the employee is simply at home and available to be reached by company officials, then the time is not working time and an employer does not have to pay for that time.
Policies and procedures to keep in place:
- Decide whether your company will offer “weather days” for non-exempt workers who are absent because of disasters.
- Ensure that your payroll systems are prepared for employees working from home, longer shifts, or not taking lunches.
- Decide whether employees absent because of weather will be allowed / required to use vacation or PTO time.
- Ensure safety of payroll records and ability to process payroll from alternate location if needed.
Natural disasters pose a myriad of employment and HR issues from wage-hour to FMLA leave and the WARN Act. The best protection is to have a plan in place in advance to ensure your employees are paid and well taken care of during a difficult time.

WAGGGS action Let me see you...!
Here we are to tell you about the action we are doing for this year, how to do it and how to take part.
This year, just like last year, we will be performing it at COP during YoFuGe (Young and Future Generations) Day which is Thursday 27th November. Youth members at COP events make and perform actions to express what they believe should be a highlight during the conference negotiations.
We have made our own fun action that you can take part in and have our positive messages about acting on climate change spreading around the world. This year’s is based around the camp fire song ‘let me see your funky chicken’, if you don’t know it don’t worry we are going to teach you.
There is also lots more ideas for verses or you can always make up your own.
Speaking with the voice of 10 million girls and young women.
This year, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is taking place in Doha, Qatar.
Qatar is a very expensive country to travel to and to visit, which means that youth delegations from many countries will not be able to attend, due to the costs being too high. A large proportion of the international youth climate movement, especially youth from the global south will therefore be excluded.
The youth constituency of COP - Youth NGO’s or YOUNGO is trying to address this injustice by collecting voices of youth who aren’t present and bring these voices and stories to COP.
This initiative is being led by the New Zealand Youth Delegation, in a project called ‘Connected Voices.’
Through this initiative, youth from around the world will collect the opinions of young people from unrepresented countries and bring them to COP. WAGGGS are in a key position to support this; our key messages which we take to COP are based on values important to all of our members, and on the results of our previous surveys. However, as new issues arise during the COP process, we would like to hear from our members in 145 countries to find out everyone’s thoughts so we can respond quickly and ensure that the voices of girls and young women all around the world are heard.
Throughout COP 18, WAGGGS delegates will ask a question which we want your views on. We’ll ask the most pertinent, most timely and most controversial questions to really get to the heart of the issues which are holding up the negotiations. We urge all of our 10 million members from all countries to participate in the poll, so we can share your views with the UN during the negotiations.
WATCH THIS SPACE FOR OUR QUESTIONS FROM COP!
Send us your Story!
As well as speaking on your behalf, we also want to tell everyone at COP all about you!
One of the things we would like to take with us is case studies from Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world sharing how they have been impacted by climate change in their countries and what they have done through Guiding and Scouting to create change in this area. We will then use these at COP as evidence of how girls and young women around the world are being impacted as well as what they are doing about it through Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.
If you would like to contribute your story to our collection of case studies to be shared at COP, please answer the questions below and send them to our Actions Coordinator Leah at leah-parsons@hotmail.com.
What we need you to send us:
Name
Age
Country
Which climate impact you have experienced?
How were you affected by it?
What have you done through Girl Guiding or Girl Scouting to make change on this issue?
We can't wait to hear from you!

WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750
The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 is the most compact, modular and fieldbus-independent I/O system for decentralized automation.
WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 753
Pluggable I/O Modules: For certain applications, a pre-wiring of components, independent of the electronics, is appropriate.
WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 755
Consequently executed decentralized automation ends closely at the machine - frequently so close that there is no room for a protective cabinet or enclosure. WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 755 was designed for those conditions.
WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 757
The IP67 Fieldbus system does not offer in every situation the flexibility and cost-effectiveness which would allow the user to achieve a consistent change-over from the IP20 to the IP67 automation system. In such cases, Sensor/actuator boxes are a real alternative.
WAGO-I/O-IPC (758 Series)
WAGO-I/O-IPC, compact industrial PC. The IPC is a cost-effective industrial compact PC solution for real time control applications. Despite its compact design, the IPC integrates all standard PC functions, including network and fieldbus interfaces, for local and remote control applications.
I/O Software (759 Series)
Software. Maintenance/programming software and WAGO-TOPLON® for building automation.

Dougherty County 911 operators are starting to take more calls from citizens regarding bee hives in and around Albany.
The public is looking at bees in a different light after Curtis Davis was killed by a swarm of Africanized bees off Williamsburg Road, near the race track in October.
Davis was demolishing an abandoned house with a bulldozer when he disturbed a hive of the aggressive bees.
911 operators can send help if people are being actively attacked by bees, but as a routine matter, citizens should call a pest control company if they suspect that a beehive may contain Africanized, or "killer" bees.
WALB is investigating a bee hive on the Northwest section of town Wednesday morning.
We will have more details on this story later today on WALB. | http://www.walb.com/Global/story.asp?S=14438120 | 2013-05-18T10:35:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Cairo-- When you drive into Grady county, you won't have to go far before you see litter lining the roads. "We do have a serious litter problem in Grady county and we are starting to address that now, more so than we have in the past," said Jim Rittmeyer, Executive Director of Keep Grady County Beautiful.
The fine for littering in Grady county recently went up to $675 along with the threat of going to jail if you're caught.
County officials now want to help solve the littering issue as well. They're promoting the adopt-a-highway program. "What we're trying to do is get people to call the state department of transportation in Tifton to join up into the program," said County Administrator Rusty Moye.
Groups or individuals sign up to adopt at least a mile of a state highway. Volunteers agree to remove litter from both sides of the road, at least 4 times a year for 2 years. "The department of transportation will furnish the bags and the vests, and everything, and the signs and all that good stuff," said Moye.
If the adopt a highway program is successful and people volunteer to help clean up the state maintained roads, the county commission plans to look at county maintained roads which also need lots of improvement.
On one county road, trash is visible directly across the street from a dumping site. "The county commissioners need to see some positive reaction from the citizens of Grady county to start the local highway participation program," Moye said.
"I hope everybody will understand what we're trying to and take part in helping us out," said Rittmeyer.
Adopt-a-highway supporters say when volunteers take care of the problem with their own hard work, they'll begin to take pride in their community.
If you want to adopt-a-highway in Grady county or in your community, call the Georgia Department of Transportation.
