Miami's LeBron James had one message for his critics on Friday: Bring it on. (Greg Nelson/SI)
SAN ANTONIO -- With his hands full battling the Spurs in the Finals, LeBron James avoided opening up a second front by dismissing criticism directed his way by Gatorade's Twitter account.
Left leg cramps forced the Heat's All-NBA forward from action during San Antonio's 110-95 victory in Game 1 on Thursday. The unfortunate and untimely development led many fans to crack jokes on Twitter at James' expense, given the huge stakes and historical implications of this year's Finals rematch against the Spurs.
The reaction to James' departure during crunch time went to a different level, though, when Gatorade's official Twitter account sent out a number of messages regarding James, who is an endorser for rival sports drink Powerade.
"The person cramping wasn't our client," the @Gatorade Twitter account wrote. "Our athletes can take the heat."
Later, the Gatorade account added: "We were waiting on the sidelines, but he prefers to drink something else."
The Associated Press reported Friday that Gatorade apologized for the messages.
''Our apologies for our response to fans' tweets during [Thursday] night's Heat vs. Spurs game,'' Gatorade said in a statement. ''We got caught up in the heat of the battle. As a longtime partner of the Miami Heat, we support the entire team.''
VIDEO: 'Cramp-gate' all the rage at NBA Finals
James' cramping came at the end of an unusual Game 1 in which the AT&T Center's air conditioning system failed. Outside temperatures in San Antonio have topped 90 degrees and the inside arena temperature approached that figure during Game 1.
At the Spurs practice facility on Friday, James spoke at length about his cramps, noting he has suffered from them since he was a high school star. Although he was willing to reveal plenty of details about his recovery -- including the fact that he woke up numerous times on Thursday night to use the restroom after receiving multiple IV bags -- James did not want to address the Gatorade situation.
"I really don't care what people say about me, I don't care about that sports group, the drink group that I'm not even going to say their name," James said dismissively. "I'm not going to give them a light in The Finals. This is about the Spurs and the Heat, and it's not about everybody else. I don't care."
In recent years, James has shut down his social media accounts during the playoffs, so he can focus on Miami's title runs. The Heat are playing in their fourth consecutive Finals and James is seeking his third-straight title and third-straight MVP award.
"Obviously I hear about [the criticism], because I know you guys are going to ask me, so I need to be ready for it," James admitted. "What everybody has to say, you guys should know me by now, I don't care. I really don't."
JENKINS: Spurs know how to handle the Heat
Complicating matters: James' teammate and close friend, Dwyane Wade, is a Gatorade endorser. Needless to say, Wade didn't want to touch the touchy subject.
"I have no thoughts on it," Wade said. "LeBron gets criticism all over the place from everybody. Us as athletes, we all do. It's the nature of the beast. It has nothing to do with basketball. It has nothing to do with the Finals."
While members of both the Heat and Spurs came to James' defense, NFL player Jonathan Martin suggested on Twitter that James should "drink a Gatorade and get out there." Other athletes and media members shared jokes and memes involving James' cramps on the social networking site.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was one person who willing to stand up for James in the face of the online criticism. He pointed out that James receives a far greater degree of criticism than the average professional athlete.
"[It's] amazing to me the way he's conducted himself over the years with all the scrutiny," Popovich said. "None of us really understand what that is. He's done it pretty damn well."
James, who said he expects to be "100 percent" for Game 2, offered a simple message to his critics: Bring it on.
"Don't worry, you guys can talk about me as much as you want," he said as he exited the podium on Friday. "I'll be there on Sunday as well. I'm not hiding."
Game 2 is set for the AT&T Center on Sunday with a 9 p.m. ET tip. The Spurs announced on Friday the AT&T Center's air conditioning system has been repaired. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra earlier in the day that the NBA should fine the Spurs if the AC issue recurs in Game 2.

A wind energy firm planning to develop turbine fields in Calumet County says it is no longer going through local regulation to get the project approved.
Instead, Curt Bjulin, Wisconsin project manager for EcoEnergy, said his firm is seeking approval from the state Public Service Commission for the project in the towns of Chilton and Rantoul.
This is the latest salvo in a battle that’s gone on for nearly two years between wind farm developers and Calumet County residents who fear the effects dozens of 400-foot turbines will have on neighbors’ lives and health.
“We have had a great relationship with Calumet County, but there have been a series of moratoriums, revisions and amendments to the wind energy ordinance,” Bjulin said. “There is not much certainty.”
A spokesman for one of the opposition groups that formed in Calumet County said Friday he fears the PSC will offer residents less protection than the county’s ordinance.
“The PSC would be using a cookie-cutter approach to this thing,” Town of Chilton resident Lee Bjork said.
Bjork and his contemporaries are increasingly frustrated with the lack of leverage they seem to have, compared with the turbine developers.
They turned out in force last week to oppose a bill before the Legislature that would have given the PSC approval authority over all wind farm developments in Wisconsin. The Senate withdrew the bill, but to Bjork it seemed a rare victory.
“Nobody holds their feet to the fire,” he said. “Nobody questions them. Nobody asks, ‘Can you guarantee the sound won’t exceed 40 (decibels)? Can you guarantee property values won’t go down?'”
Bjulin said the process of getting the project approval through the PSC is longer and costly, but it is a known process, unlike going through the county.
“The wind energy facility in Calumet County will cost $220 million and predictability is very important with that kind of investment,” he said.
Bjulin said the PSC already has handled the approvals of three large wind energy projects in Wisconsin.
“It is not a new process for wind energy projects,” Bjulin said. “The PCS has regulatory authority over projects of over 100 megawatts.”
Bjulin said EcoEnergy’s Calumet County project was originally under 100 megawatts, but the project was upsized to have one that would qualify for PSC approval.
“Because of a number of considerations, we added an extra turbine and so it is over the 100 (megawatts) number now,” Bjulin said.
That also means that the project would no longer be subject to local regulation.
Wind energy legislation
The pending legislation that died would have given the PSC exclusive jurisdiction over the siting of wind energy turbines.
“We voted and there was an amendment to have a citizens review committee, much like the farm siting bill,” said state Sen. Alan Lasee, R-Rockland.
Because of the proposed amendment, Lasee said the proposal – in the form of Senate Bill 544 – was sent back to committee, effectively killing it for this year.
“It will be back next session,” said state Rep. Al Ott, R-Forest Junction.
The bill was introduced on Feb. 29 and given a fast track. Both Lasee and Ott opposed its passage without significant public input.
“There was not sufficient time to get input into this law, which would strip away local control (over windmills) and place the authority in the PSC,” Lasee said. “I’m not a big fan of this, but I’m not opposed.”
Ott said he suspects the state eventually will have the say over all windmill sitings, but rushing the plan through the Legislature was objectionable.
“The right thing happened because the bill was being pushed through too quickly without any debate,” Ott said.
Lasee considered the bill an attempt to take local communities out of the process.

NAIROBI: Kenya's opposition is calling for a 'people's assembly' next month amid its claims that the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta is illegitimate.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga is calling for the Dec. 12 assembly and his supporters say the gathering will elect a leader to run the country until new elections can be held. The day is Kenya's Independence Day.
The calls come on the day that Kenyatta was sworn in and urged an end to hatred and divisions. During and after the ceremony, police fired rifles and tear gas to break up an opposition gathering to mourn the dozens of people killed in the months of election unrest.

High Performing Leaders Replace Fears With Purpose
In our work with CEOs and executives, we have found that leaders who actively start to replace their fears — or just give more importance to their higher purpose and goals — increase their effectiveness.
For example, I had one client who ran a highly visible non-profit organization, and who had developed an innovated
strategy for how to serve underprivileged children . To implement her ideas, she needed to step out in a very public and visible way, writing, giving speeches and presentations. She really believed in her idea, but could not guarantee it would work, and was afraid of being seen and judged as a fraud by other leaders in the non-profit world.
Although she believed deeply in her vision, she found herself procrastinating when it came to networking, instead keeping herself occupied with busywork. As we talked through these behaviors, she realized there was an inner conflict between her fears and her bold new vision. Not acting out her strategy made her feel out of integrity.
I coached her through
the conflict by clarifying two things:
- Connect to the pain of her counterproductive behavior. Meaning when she procrastinated, and avoided doing what she needed to do, what was the pain associated with that?
In my client’s case, the pain she connected with was judging herself and feeling bad about herself because she knew she wasn’t doing what she was supposed to do. More painful was the sense that she was letting down her team members and the children she most wanted to serve.
- Connect with what she wanted and needed that was more important than her fears.
These are very personal, and could be a need, a value, a higher purpose.
My client felt a deep need to be authentic as a leader, and to feel a sense of integrity that her behaviors supported her core values and sense of purpose. By making a connection with this need, she was able to switch from focusing on her fears to focusing on her aspirations.
The aspirational higher purpose she connected with was her genuine desire to serve the children of the underprivileged communities her non-profit worked with. This really was her passion, and was much more important than her fears about how people might perceive her. As she cultivated this clarity, she became more bold, audacious and courageous in her actions and outreach to the community.
Today, her organization is held up as a pioneer in innovative support of underprivileged communities.
What core needs, values and higher purpose do you have that you can connect with that are bigger than your fears? We would love to hear your comments.
Carole, what a great post. I really connected to your client’s experience about procrastinating to put off meaningful work. Sometimes I do that with my blog writing. I am concerned with how my ideas would be perceived, so I put others/activities ahead of myself. However, I remember that connecting with others about meaningful ideas brings great purpose to my life. That sure is a value that is much bigger than my fears.
I’m not surprised you resonated with the concept since you’ve been consistently writing about it in your blog! Meaning, bringing higher purpose into our life to help us accomplish what we want to accomplish, even if it’s exercising or running. Thanks for your comment, Jon!
When I first got into a leadership role I just went through the motions and didn’t actively initiate anything myself. I was lucky enough to have a mentor that helped me see how to overcome the fears and focus on the purpose of my job. Ten years later I am confident in everything I do.
Hi Danny, thanks for your comment. It’s wonderful that you had somebody who believed in your potential and mentored you.
Once in a position where we don’t let our fears take over, then we can grow professionally and privately. I know that once I overcame my fears with working with others I became much different and found myself more willing to step up and take charge.
That’s great self-awareness. Often the difficulty is to be aware of our fears…
So close to home! I often put work off, and I tell myself I work best under pressure. The fact is I also don’t want to disappoint anyone, especially myself. I also don’t always speak up at meeting because I don’t want others to think I don’t know what I am talking about. Seems I only speak up when I am definitely sure of my self.
Woah, you are self-aware! I know, sometimes it’s not enough to change a behavior but that’s the first step. For a long time, I also didn’t want to speak up unless i had something extra-ordinary and super clear to share… Well, i wasn’t speaking often!
Each day I wake up and think about how I want to be percieved at work. I have been head of my department for nearly 3 years. I sometimes think I am a bit over the top, but I know I’m focused and I the vision is never lost.
I like your comment because it made me think about a subtle difference: Focusing on how I want to be perceived by others, can also be a way to focus on my goals. It’s different than focusing on how i want to be perceived by others, because I’m anxious of being judged.
Wonderful story about your client. Thanks for sharing. I have a lot of respect for anyone to take on a non profit for children.
Thanks for your comment. I also respect a lot all of these non profit people who are giving a lot of themselves to improve other’s life. I’m glad my company can support some of them.
I have been in her shoes, too. I have found myself almost hiding at times rather than doing what needs to be done out of fear of not doing the best job possible. I know I have judged others in my position and I never want anyone to think I am not doing a top notch job.
Thank you for being so honest! Procrastination is definitively connected to perfectionism.
My biggest need is that people percieve me as a quality worker. I just can turn in work if I feel it isn’t the best it can be.
That’s great to be focused on being a quality worker. The issue is when the fear of not being perceived as a quality worker takes over our goals. It means that we are more focused on our “image” than on our purpose. It’s been helpful for me to dissociate the two.
I have been lucky. I have always been able to focus on my personal vision and that of my company. I have worked with a few others who remind me of your client. I knew they were capable of more and often they fell short and seemed to take it very hard. A few of them moved on to other things, but 2 still work with me and have appeared to overcome any fears they may have had of disappointing others.
I have felt the same way. I often close myself in my office and keep busy rather than getting out and networking. I know I can do a good job because I have in the past. I always thought I was introverted and if I wasn’t in the mood to talk, I just stayed to myself.
Thanks for your comment. I know lots of people who procrastinate with “networking”! For lots of us, it’s a challenging area. I followed a great webinar called “Networking naturally” and it was all about being connected to the goal of adding value to others when we network, versus “taking” something from others. Another way to speak about Fears versus Purpose.
I’ve been aware of my own conflict between my fears and the vision I have for my company. I have 34 employees and I wonder how much more growth I could have if I could let go of some fears. I am fully aware of my vision, I just sometimes have trouble staying focused.
Thanks Vernon. I know a great entrepreneur who used to say: “If i wasn’t afraid today, what would I do?”. Your comment made me think of this quote. It would be interesting for you to explore what distracts you from staying focused and what do you avoid, when you are distracted. Food for thought.
After reading this I wonder if this is the reason I haven’t gone as far in my job as I would like to have by now. I see the similarities between what you wrote of your client and myself. Now I just have to do something about it.
Awareness is definitively the first step to change a behavior. Then, learning to overcome our fears, it’s another story. That’s what we do in our workshops.
My conflict is similar to your client. I judge myself, but only to the point of wishing I was doing more. I don’t feel I am letting other down, only myself sometimes.
Thanks for your comment. Lots of us go to self-judgment when we don’t do what we know we want to do. For some people self-judgment is stimulating, but for most of us, it adds a layer to the inertia. It’s hard to be gentle with ourself and accept that we are a fallible human being.
At one time or another I think procrastination is everyone’s middle name. I have been there…a lot. It took a cognitive effort on my part to overcome it. Now I focus on my purpose each day and work towards it.
Thanks for your comment. You’re right, we all know about procrastination. A clear purpose is definitively a great tool to step out of procrastination. I like also to reconnect with the pain, the malaise I feel when i procrastinate. Everything but that!

Often when the body becomes incapacitated, the mind opens its eyes. As stated by Theodore Roethke, “In a dark time, the eye begins to see.” This quote is saying that in troubled times; one can find a way to see through the gloom. Therefore, darkness will lead to enlightenment. Both the memoire Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and the novel The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath illustrate the mind’s ability to shine light through the darkest of times. Man’s Search for Meaning shares an experience through a concentration camp from Frankl’s own eyes. In his account of the camps, Frankl describes the nature of man when subjected to immense suffering. The Bell Jar follows the plight of a young woman, Esther Greenwood, as she begins a downward spiral in her mental health, slipping farther and farther away from reality. She delves deep into a depression, suffocated by her disease like a bell jar traps its contents. In both stories, the individuals rise and fall in the sways of time and its complexities. They attest that the mind can shine through the shadows no matter what the predicament.
In Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl demonstrates the distinction between the prisoners who gave into their desolate fate and those who chose to rise above it. The theme of perseverance is quite evident in his work as he carries the reader through his spiritual expedition and exemplifies the strengthening of the inner self as his condition and state of affairs steadily got worse. Perseverance represents the attitude of those prisoners who rose above their daily sufferings and emanated radiance even though their surroundings looked bleak. In a situation of their sort, a lack of hope is the predictable reaction to their circumstances. Instead, their hope becomes a beacon leading them forward in their daily struggle against emotional and physical defeat.
Another element of Viktor Frankl’s work is the point of view from which he tells his story. The memoire is a first-person...

EFHW antenna for 40-10m qrp
I had a BN43-202 core in stock and attempted to try to create a small QRP EFHW transformer from 7 - 29 MHz. As you can see in the plot the swr is verry flat from 40-10m so a capacitor at the input is not needed. A 3300 Ohm resister to ground was used for the plot but at 1700 Ohm the transformation is near perfect. Don't use thin antennawire for this rises the impedance of the antenna. 1.5mm is a minimum . With just 20.3m wire this makes a nice 40-10m antenna. You can also use the 34uH coil of the endfed down this blog to create a compact 3 band atenna of just 12m long. 10 Watts PEP is the max. power here. Be carefull, each pass is 1 turn here. A test with 2 transformers back to back showed a power loss of about 18% on 20m. I used 0.7mm transformer wire .

Rear View Mirror
So here we are considering Opeth’s twelfth studio LP potentially spending dozens of words retracing the past whereby the Swedes desert metal for something more frilly, more prog and less what the fans want. But we won’t. Since Opeth released Watershed in 2008, that’s eight years ago folks - longer than many bands' careers - they’ve put out two albums of 70s referencing prog-rock records in Heritage and Pale Communion that retain many of main main Mikael Akerfeldt’s lyrical concerns but background the metallic riffs and ground the growls. Sorceress is the latest in this lineage of albums melding Deep Purple, the Canterbury prog scene and folk music with the recognisable Opeth musicality. This is no surprise and clearly what Akerfeldt wants to play and this album is better than Pale Communion for my money.
The rhythm section of Martín Mendez and Martin Axenrot, guitarist Fredrik Akesson, and keyboardist Joakim Svalberg are the line-up that Akerfeldt has called upon for the modern Opeth sound and he does so again here to familiarly lush if unexciting results. The album opens with light classical guitar before alighting upon some jazzy kit work and Jon Lord organ moves that are periodically broken down by a chugging riff on the split personality title track. This doesn’t really indicate a troubled Opeth mission though. Strange Brew tries something similar to Sorceress with intermittent disruptive prog riffs but ends up making for a messy song. Elsewhere the harpsichord and minstrel vibes on A Fleeting Glance scare off a intriguingly sinewy guitar line .
Chrysalis a little further down the track listing represents everything great in a contemporary Opeth tune; twisting riffs augmented with Akerfeldt’s confident clean vocals, shamelessly retro keyboard sounds and an epic solo. Akerfeldt even sings, “leave it all behind you...pleasure in something new” Good advice. There are other moments of clarity such as the eastern tinged The Seventh Sojourn which throws back to the mantra of Atonement on Ghost Reveries and the piano heavy Era and Persephone (Slight Return) represent a great end to the record.
What do you want from a twelfth album? If it’s Brave New World this isn’t it - it doesn’t delight fans by relocating the band’s old sound in a modern context but nor is it Repentless diluting the band's former power due to a lack of new ideas. On Sorceress Opeth continue to dance to their own beat and although the musicianship may continue to impress it less likely to enthrall. They have asserted their right to pomp as showcased by the glorious, bloody peacock atop the human remains on the cover. Frilly wins.

Despite another day of subzero temperatures and bitingly cold wind chill readings reaching between -20 and -40 degrees, several Northeast Indiana counties have downgraded their travel advisories from "warning" to "watch."
As of 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, authorities in Allen, Dekalb, Huntington, Noble, and Steuben counties had downgraded their county travel statuses to watches, indicating roads were still potentially hazardous, but safe enough for essential travel needs, like getting to and from work.
Indiana emergency response teams are heading to the East Coast to help states deal with Hurricane Sandy and an overlapping severe weather system.
A total of 107 Hoosiers and 44 vehicles – including 24 ambulances – will assist in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. State Department of Homeland Security director Joe Wainscott says Indiana began receiving requests for help Saturday. One of the units is already in Maryland; the others will arrive on the East Coast soon.
Wainscott says the bulk of the personnel are EMS providers.

Olympian 34, Otay Ranch 6
Sergio Bailey is not hard to spot. First of all, the Olympian wide receiver’s jersey has gold numbers trimmed in black — the opposite of every other Eagle since Bailey’s varsity No. 23 jersey was stolen. Secondly, he winds up in the end zone a lot.
A junior transfer from Helix, Bailey scored three consecutive touchdowns Friday night as visiting Olympian defeated Otay Ranch 34-6 in the first-ever meeting between the schools.
“I don’t complain,” Bailey said of his JV jersey. “I’m not really trippin’ about the jersey. I think I’ll keep it.”
Also not complaining was Chris Humphery. Olympian’s junior QB completed 6-of-8 passes for 125 yards — all to Bailey.
“I always try to look at all my receivers,” Humphery said, “but he always seems to be the guy who gets open.”
In its Metro Mesa League debut, Olympian (4-3, 1-0) struck early to take a 7-0 lead. On the third play, Asante Gibson scooped up a fumble, returned it 15 yards to the 5-yard line, and scored on the next play.
Then it was Bailey time. Heading deep on a post pattern, Bailey made a spectacular one-handed grab over his head to complete a 39-yard TD pass. In the second half, Bailey scored on a 54-yard streak and an over-the-shoulder grab on a third-and-goal call from the 17-yard line.
Overall, the Eagles netted 348 yards with Gibson gaining 95 yards on 10 carries.
“This was a big one for us,” Olympian coach Gil Warren said. “We’re excited.”Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

- Bodrum, Turkey
- Associated organizations
- SHAPE Technical Centre
- Fields of study
- IEEE Award in International Communication
A. Nejat Ince was born in Bodrum, Turkey, on November 16, 1928. He received his B.Sc. and Ph. D degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1952 and 1955 from the Universities of Birmingham and Cambridge, England, respectively. At Cambridge he carried out research on electroluminescence and related effects and made significant contributions to the understanding of this phenomenon.
Dr. Ince's career changed a course in 1956 from research in solid-state physics to communication. After a period of five years when he was involved in the planning and design of national long-line networks and broadcasting, in 1961 he joined SHAPE (NATO) Technical Centre (STC) in the Hague, The Netherlands, where his scientific and engineering career continued until November 1978 and got him involved, inter alia, in the development of almost every international communications and information system for NATO. From 1961 to 1968, Dr. Ince worked as a scientist and Head, Radio group and was engaged in studies related to air-to-ground, meteor-burst and groundwave propagation and systems. Together with some of his staff, he designed and built satellite earth stations at UHF and X-bands and studied multiple-access methods, precipitation effects, antenna and power control techniques and earth station design.
During 1966-1970, he took a leading part in the system planning and engineering of an extensive satellite system for NATO, which has been operating successfully since 1970. In the early seventies, he organized and led the design effort of the third generation of satellites (NATO III) which were launched in the period 1976-1978 to replace the original NATO II satellites.
In 1968, Dr. Ince became Chief of The Communications Division at STC and held this position until November 1978 when he joined Western Union Telegraph Company as Assistant Vice President for Advanced Development. His major achievement during this period has been his contributions to the concept development and the system engineering of an automatically switched, distributed network for NATO, called NICS, integrating all services and using terrestrial and satellite links both for access and internodal networks. Together with his staff he developed methodology and traffic and network models for the study and specification of minimum-cost distributed networks, adaptive routing and associated signalling systems and the switch architecture, all allowing a progressive digitalization of the network and operation within an an analog/digital hybrid environment. During this period Dr. Ince also led several other study efforts which included the specification of a new generation of satellites, with on-board processing and multi-beam antennas, to be launched in the mid-eighties, and code-division multiplexing systems for use on satellite and HF radio links.
Dr. Ince, a Fellow of IEEE, held a professorship in Turkey (since 1966) and was an active member of several scientific and technical societies in Europe and the USA. He was the program chairman for two international symposia on EM-Wave scattering and scatter communications. He was the editor of and contributor to five books and the author of over fifty technical articles and reports.
In 1952, Nejat Ince married Thea Messie; they have one son and two daughters. They both enjoyed music, photography and reading.

Control your anxiety to eat by understanding your emotions
Has it happened to you that you start eating something without knowing why? Do you feel that it is very complicated to control the anxiety to eat even knowing that you should not? Well, stop listening to your stomach and ask yourself what emotion is behind.
1. Control the anxiety to eat is not stop feeding, it is to understand your brain
When we feel anxious, with worries of some kind, with fears about the future or about something, the brain looks for answers to mitigate or reduce those emotions of insecurity. And one of the most primitive ways in which our brain seeks false relief (even if it is temporary) is through food. What is the inconvenience? When the stomach empties, anxiety returns and the problem is still there.
When we eat, the message our brain receives is that we can survive longer; the blood goes to the stomach and calms us down. How many people fall asleep or sleepy after eating?
The wonderful moment of the siesta is precisely that: the food calves the beasts and the emotions, but it is not the most appropriate remedy. Rather, it can become the source of a vicious circle where anxiety and food destroy the lives of many people.
2. I am very hungry and have low self-esteem
Many cases of eating disorders -like eat compulsively– have to do with abuse or emotional deprivation in childhood. When that happens, food is used as a defensive mechanism.
The same happens in people with low self-esteem and too many insecurities. When we feel dissatisfied, when uncertainty and the feeling of emptiness lurks, we try to fill it and, sometimes, the first impulse is the want to eat.
On the contrary, the more self-esteem and confidence increase, the safer and more satisfied we feel; more in control of our lives and improve our strength of will, acceptance and self-respect.
For that reason, emotions have a much more important weight than we can imagine in cases of anxiety to eat or any other type of eating disorder. It's not a matter of remove the appetite, but really understand why the brain sends you those misleading messages and answer the question of why do I have anxiety.
3. Quench hunger (non-existent) with harmful foods
Also, when we have hunger attacks without knowing why, we usually do not think about healthy foods, but rather the opposite: we do not even think about preparing a salad because we look for fast pleasure, so we resort to easy, caloric things and with a tendency to sugar (anxiety to eat sweet… does it sound like?).
And the contradictory of all this is that we eat without appetite because there is no real and physiological need to eat. What we are really doing is alleviating a psychological need. Precisely that is what we really have to analyze and learn to distinguish, and never consider stop eating.
Be a detective and find out the causes. Ask yourself: why do I really have anxiety? At what times does it happen? Is it right after when I start eating? Have I reached the point of having an anxiety attack?
If you think about the answer, you will surely see that your visit to the kitchen coincides with moments of stress and excess of worry. Therefore, we must learn to realize this fact to change this harmful habit of visiting the pantry or the refrigerator, and change it for healthier habits.
4. How to calm anxiety about eating: 7 keys
- one. Work your self-esteem. In addition to eating habits, the best diet for anxiety is to work on your personal valuation and the perception that you make and have of you. For me it may be the most important factor when it comes to reducing anxiety to eat, because the moment you increase your confidence and security, your anxiety levels are automatically reduced, your self-control and respect for your own body increases.
- two. Drink more water. Many times thirst is confused with hunger. When the body asks for hydration we make the mistake of not drinking water and, instead, go to coffee or stimulants (chocolate, a bun or … who knows!) That make the situation worse. So when they enter you want to eat Something at odd hours, without apparent reason, drink water, a large glass of water or two. And if you really think you're hungry (real), eat a piece of fruit. Hot infusions also help us feel more satiated.
- 3. Foods against anxiety: less sugar and more protein Foods with sugar satiate us for a moment, but soon hunger and unwanted extra calories will return. While protein foods satiate us for longer and are healthier (meats, fish, cheeses, seitan, tofu, etc …).
- Four. Add fiber to your diet. Foods rich in fiber are fundamental and will make you feel more satisfied; reduce anxiety and hunger Eat whole wheat bread instead of white, whole wheat pasta, more legumes that provide fiber, nuts, brown rice. Do not think about diets, but choose well, choose healthy, respect your health and your body because you only have one and it has to last a lifetime.
- 5. Take your time. Eat without haste, do not add more anxiety. Enjoy the moment and chew more food, you will do a great favor to your stomach and your health in every way. Do not hesitate: you will do better digestion and increase your feeling of fullness.
- 6 Reduce appetite with physical exercise. Physical exercise is essential to keep our body and mind in shape, but on top of that it also helps us reduce tension, stress, anxiety and oxygenates us. And by the way: more than once I've heard that Anxiety thins. Do yourself a favor and erase those ideas that are so erroneous that they will only harm your health. Eat well and get up from the couch a little more.
- 7 The importance of breathing. How to control the anxiety to eat? Tell me how you breathe and you will have a lot of information. Anxiety and nerves influence us directly: we do it more quickly and with shorter breaths. Becoming aware of breathing and learning to do it more calmly and deeply is a great method to reduce anxiety states. Therefore, yoga, meditation or Mindfulness are techniques that will help us a lot in the whole process.
But above all remember that the better you are internally (emotionally), the more you grow as a person, the more you increase your confidence and the more you believe in yourself, everything will flow as it should. That will be the best remedy to improve in all aspects of your life.

Stomach sleeping is fine if your little one gets themselves into that position after being put to sleep on their back in a safe environment — and after proving to you that they can consistently roll both ways. Before baby hits this milestone, though, the research is clear: They should sleep on their back.
Is it bad to lay a newborn on their stomach?
It isn’t safe to put babies to sleep on their stomachs. That’s because this position increases the risk of SIDS. The same goes for placing your baby to sleep on his side. From the side-sleeping position, your little one can easily roll onto his stomach and end up in this unsafe sleeping position.
When can you lay a newborn on their stomach?
By all means, let your sleeping baby sleep. Once babies learn to roll over onto their tummies, a milestone that typically happens between 4 and 6 months but can be as early as 3 months, there’s usually no turning them back (especially if they prefer snoozing belly-down).
Can a baby get SIDS from sleeping on your chest?
While having a baby sleep on mother’s (or father’s) chest whilst parents are awake has not been shown to be a risk, and such close contact is in fact beneficial, sleeping a baby on their front when unsupervised gives rise to a greatly increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) also known as cot death.
Can my baby sleep on his stomach if I watch him?
When can babies sleep on their stomach? If your baby is able to flip himself onto his stomach while sleeping, it’s okay to leave him that way. By the time he can do this, his risk for SIDS is much lower. But you should still continue to put him down to sleep on his back until he reaches age 1.
Is it OK to let baby sleep on your chest?
It’s safe for your baby to nap on your chest as long as you remain awake and aware of the baby. But if you fall asleep too, it raises the risk of injury (or death) to your baby.
When can I stop worrying about SIDS?
After 6-months old, babies are typically able to lift their heads, roll over, or wake up more easily, and the risk of SIDS decreases dramatically. However, 10% of SIDS happens between 6 and 12 months of age and safe sleep recommendations should be followed up to a baby first birthday.
What is the single most significant risk factor for SIDS?
A number of risk factors have been identified that increase the likelihood of SIDS: Stomach sleeping – This is probably the most significant risk factor, and sleeping on the stomach is associated with a higher incidence of SIDS.
Why is SIDS risk higher at 2 months?
Most SIDS deaths happen in babies between 1 and 4 months old, and cases rise during cold weather. Babies might have a higher risk of SIDS if: their mother smoked, drank, or used drugs during pregnancy and after birth. their mother had poor prenatal care.
Can SIDS be stopped once it starts?
There’s no guaranteed way to prevent SIDS , but you can help your baby sleep more safely by following these tips: Back to sleep. Place your baby to sleep on his or her back, rather than on the stomach or side, every time you — or anyone else — put the baby to sleep for the first year of life.

(All Album Reviews by Boceephus)
- David Cross / violins
- John Dillon / vocals and bass
- Sheila Maloney / keyboards & vocals
- Paul Clark / guitar
- Dan Maurer / drums
David Cross is the lone bearer of the sound/tone of Larks’ Tongues era King Crimson: heavy, brash, and powerful. Cross assembled a fearless group to perform this off- shoot of the KC family tree. Vocalist/Bassist John Dillion sounds like a cross between John Wetton's strained baritone and Roger Waters' manic delivery, which can at times, be either pleasant or grating, depending on the tune. Paul Clark, on guitars, is the perfect foil for Cross's fierce violin excursions. Razor sharp leads intertwine on nearly every track giving the solo spots a fusionesque edge. Sheila Maloney's keyboards add depth to the rhythm section with colorful chording and repeating motifs. Sheila rarely takes the lead, her sonic space fleshes out the overall textures. Dan Maurer keeps everything on track and consistently shifts between powerhouse bashing and odd metered grooves.
The opening track, “Learning Curve”, makes a strong statement. Cross wastes no time in bringing his violin to the forefront over an interesting bass/drum combo. Great lyrics and scorching vocals pull you right in. “Calamity” shifts and slithers between sweet ambience and spiraling solo workouts. The first two minutes of “Welcome to Frisco” are rather torturous. A violin can be melodic, soothing, exciting or downright ear-rippingly painful: think cats in the throws of passion. The tune does turn around and become more listenable further on, but those first moments cause my trigger finger to hit ‘skip’. “The Affable Mister G” is another study in patience. Dillion's voice is filtered through device creating a sinister effect. This song my also cause the same automatic response as "Frisco." “The Swing Arm Disconnects” reminds me of the slowly evolving instrumentals of Fripp & Co, without the overwhelming crescendo.
“Tripwire” is the most accessible song on the album. Thirty-five years ago it would have garnered a lot of airplay. Almost Asia sounding with heartfelt vocals, catchy hooks and strong melodies. I added this track to my workout MP3 player. You can work up a sweat to this one. “Cycle Logical” sounds like they edited the ending of “The Swing Arm Disconnects” and made it a separate track. The title track is a sound collage that really never takes off, disappointing. “Abo” follows the slowly building blueprint, drawing in an aboriginal drumming sequence and African vocal styled repeated phrase. The song proper begins at about 5 minutes. I get a strong John Wetton vibe at this point. A fine finish to an above average album. David Cross' best work will soon follow.

For lighter fare in La Jolla, make it a Shore Thing
By Kelley Carlson
For relatively quick, healthy, fresh and organic fare, Shore Thing Café seems to be a sure thing. Located just around the corner from the shops and restaurants in La Jolla Shores, this neighborhood eatery and coffee house with a casual beach vibe accommodates customers on the go and those who want to enjoy their surroundings.
Owner Lamar Rutherford and co-owner/manager Bishop Thorpe ensure quality by obtaining produce from farmers markets and selecting meats that don’t contain many nitrates. They buy breads daily from San Diego supplier Bread & Cie, and choose to use little seasoning in their dishes.
Because the menu is driven by customer feedback, it occasionally changes, but there are always breakfast and lunch offerings.
During the earlier part of the day, patrons will find everything from light items to filling foods. There’s a Breakfast Wrap with eggs, cheese, avocado, potatoes and salsa, and a Breakfast Sandy on ciabatta with eggs, cheese and a choice of bacon or ham.
For cereals, choices include the Oatmeal Berry Bonanza; smoothies with berries, bananas, acai and soy milk; and the house-made Glorified Granola, simply sweetened with honey and cranberries.
The freshly made muffins — which come in three sizes — are not overpoweringly sweet, in varieties such as the lightly glazed apple and the mixed berry with a crumble topping. Bowls are an option, too, such as the Amazon Acai with granola, fruit, almonds, honey and flax seeds.
Lunch primarily consists of salads, sandwiches and soups. The most popular item is the Beach Club Sandwich, ordered by every seven out of 10 customers. Like most BLTs, it has lettuce, tomato and bacon, but the addition of turkey and avocado, along with chipotle aioli, adds California flair. Another favorite is The Fields, a vegetarian sandwich that combines sprouts, onions, red peppers, avocado, assorted greens, tomatoes, cucumbers sunflower seeds, olive oil and balsamic. And there’s The Piper, a chicken salad sandwich made with grapes and truffle oil, on a nutty-flavored grain bread. All of these sandwiches — and more — can be converted into salads or wraps, if desired.
A spring mix is used in the salads, giving them a bit of body. About a half-dozen kinds are prepared; among them is the light and colorful Rainbow Quinoa Salad, composed of thick rings of onions, red bell pepper strips, pecans, dried cranberries, celery and other assorted vegetables.
For dessert, there are gluten-free cookies made of bananas, oats, chocolate chips and peanut butter.
Food is not the only focus at Shore Thing; the organic coffees and teas are also of note. Thorpe is an admitted purist who aims to bring out the fruits and florals of coffee beans, to the point where cream and sugar are not needed.
One of his specialties is the Amaro Gayo Ethiopian coffee — he does a pour-over and allows the beverage to “bloom,” bringing out the blueberry undertones. Thorpe also designates strong Guatemalan beans for iced coffees, but pour-overs can be done upon request. Macchiatos, lattes and other beverages are available, too. u

Every March, the shelter staff and volunteers anticipate the spring with a mixture of elation (we are Pittsburghers after all wanting to get away from a long and dreary winter) and trepidation (we know kitten season is about to start.) Since this past weekend, 9 Moms with newborn kittens have arrived at the Western PA Humane Society North Shore Shelter. While lots of us go "aww ...newborn kittens -- how cute!" shelter staff and volunteers know that this is the start of a very long season of hard work finding foster homes to care for these babies until they are ready for adoption.
Your love and attention will allow these babies to reach the weight they need to be spayed/neutered and adopted. The foster time period for these youngsters can run from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. Raising and socializing our fuzzy babies is an experience like no other. It requires a commitment of time and patience, and it's not uncommon for kittens to get sick after arriving in your home.
Our clinic staff will provide all of the medical support, medications and supplies you need to see your foster animals through any illness. The hardest part of fostering is bringing your foster animals back to the shelter for adoption. But the best cure for that is to take home another bunch of babies!

Laws in New Bern have just gotten tougher, especially when it comes to city ordinances dealing with housing violations.
The New Bern Board of Aldermen adopted amendments to several city ordinances Tuesday night that deal with notification of official meetings and public hearings to stiffer penalties for all city ordinance violations, including housing and nuisance ordinance violations.
Jeff Ruggieri, director of development services, presented the amendments, saying eight sections of the Land Use Ordinance needed amending.
That ordinance allows the city to collect penalties from owners of any dwelling who allow the property to fall into neglect or refuse to make repairs, demolish it or abandon it or allow it to be occupied before problems are corrected; also for any violations of conditions for variances or special use or conditional use permits.
Misdemeanor charges for violators also were amended to civil penalties, which cannot be appealed to the New Bern Board of Adjustment. The city would recover the penalties through civil action, according to the amendment.
The new fines would replace the $50 per day provision related to housing violations with a graduated penalty, Ruggieri said.
For a first offense, a violator would have to pay $500 for not correcting problems within the first 30 days. If the violations are not corrected by the next 30 days, the penalty is an additional $1,000. An additional $1,500 is due by 91 days. The fines increase to $2,000 (for a total of $5,000) if the problem is not corrected before 121 days. Then it is $2,000 each additional 30 days, according to Ruggieri’s presentation.
If there is a second offense within 12 months, the fines are doubled, he said.
The penalties also will apply to demolition by neglect of buildings and structures in historic districts of the city, Ruggieri said.
Aldermen also approved public notification requirements of official meetings that require seven days’ notice to each board member, the city clerk, the clerk or secretary of the public body and anyone who makes a written request for meeting schedules. The schedules will also be placed in a conspicuous location at the office of the administrator of each public body and the city’s website.
If the notices are not given in time, a scheduled meeting would be postponed, the amendment states.
If a public body recesses any meetings or public hearings, and announces they are to be continued during the meeting, no further notice is required. But the date on a sign posting a public hearing that was continued, like a zoning sign, would be changed to reflect the new hearing, the amendment states.
The media and anyone else wishing the schedule of city public meetings will have to ask for notification in written form to the clerk of the public body and they will be notified 48 hours before the meeting. If a written request is filed, emergency meeting notices will be given as soon as the meeting is scheduled.
In the general provisions of the city’s Code of Ordinances, any violation of the ordinance or failure to comply with any of its requirements will no longer be a misdemeanor, but will result in a civil penalty of $500 or lesser amount stated on the citation. If the violation is not remedy and the fine is not paid within 10 days, civil action will be taken. Each day that the violation continues regardless of the date of notice, it will be considered a separate offense, according to the amendment.
A change in the city’s environmental section of the ordinance was made to add graffiti not authorized to the list of nuisances that range from overgrown grass to rubbish and odors. Clotheslines in front yards was almost added, but was tabled for more information.
Alderman Bernard White said he had a problem with telling people they could not hang their clothes to dry where they wanted.
Ruggieri said people could still have clotheslines in their backyards and or the sides of their houses.
Alderman Sabrina Bengel, acting as mayor pro-tem, asked if the city was overstepping its legal boundaries by restricting clothesline in front yards.
Scott Davis, city attorney, said the city could regulate where clotheslines could go, but could not ban them.
Alderman Dana Outlaw said he would approve the graffiti addition to nuisances, but not the clothesline restriction.
“I don’t like stepping on New Bern proper to that extent,” Outlaw said. “…I think this city has enough problems … than clotheslines in front yards.”
Alderman Denny Bucher said he thought it was a good idea not to have clotheslines in residential front yards, but he said he would like to table that part of the ordinance amendment until more information could be provided.

Our member, Leeds Sixth Form College, has launched its new branding, to reflect a renewed set of values and vision for the future.
In 2019, we officially announced Leeds Sixth Form College as a member of the group in its own right, highlighting its commitment to invest in quality A levels and academic study, adding to Leeds City College’s offer.
The re-brand coincides with the development of Pudsey Sixth Form College, signifying our investment in Level 3 provision, particularly increasing capacity for the growing demographic among 16-year-olds in Leeds.
It also provides a stronger connection between the two sixth forms as well as better reflecting who Leeds Sixth Form College is, what it does and where it’s going.
We want the sixth form to be known for providing young people in Leeds with ‘limitless futures’. With more choice and more opportunities, the experiences learners could have are endless.
With this in mind, they have committed to three key values:
Confident – encourage learners to be independent and resilient, so that they have the confidence to set their aspirations high.
Straightforward – provide students with a clear and direct pathway to the next step in their futures, whether this is higher education, apprenticeships or employment.
Forward thinking – inspire all learners to be innovative and progressive, and in turn celebrate student success in all forms.
Earlier this year, Keighley College teamed up with Camp America to offer up to 90 students across Luminate’s further education colleges a once-in-a-lifetime work experience opportunity in the United States over the summer.
The placements were offered through the Turing Scheme, a UK government programme for overseas study and work. The trip, designed to hone students’ employability skills as they look after and become role models to children at the camp, included travel, accommodation and living costs.
Keighley College’s principal, Kevin O’Hare, travelled out to see how the camp counsellors were getting on across the various sites they were sent to, what they were learning from their experiences and what their plans were following on from their placements.
His trip took him to Camp Laughing Waters in Gilbertsville, East Pennsylvania; Camp Herrlich on the border of New York state and Connecticut; and French Wood Sports & Art Camp in Hancock, NY. In each, he found the students who have taken advantage of the offer having the time of their lives.
Alongside teaching and sharing skills and knowledge with young campers, they have been making friends with the international cohort of camp counsellors and planning a number of subsequent adventures.
In a world in which, as it becomes more global, there can be seen a parallel stream of parochialism rising to the surface, making these connections with other cultures and people is an essential experience which we are proud to have been able to offer our students.
We have received £51m funding from the government to replace and upgrade some of our buildings.
The investment will ensure that we can create great spaces for our students so that they have access to modern, fit-for-purpose facilities.
Work will begin at Mabgate later this year and part of the expansion will include the development of new higher level technical and apprenticeship courses. There will also be a purpose built Adult education building, which will replace Leeds City College’s Enfield Centre.
As demand for student places continues to grow, the expansion programme for Mabgate will create much-needed community facilities and will add to the group’s portfolio of city centre bases.
The campus will also create space for University Centre Leeds and Leeds Conservatoire – bringing together the group’s further and higher education provisions.
There are also significant refurbishment plans for Park Lane Campus. Major works will also be carried out at Harrogate College and plans include the demolition of the old A block building, which will be replaced with a net zero, purpose-built building.
We are pleased to announce that, from September 2022, University Centre Leeds (UC Leeds) will have its own stand-alone board to oversee decision-making on statutory, financial, quality and curriculum matters.
The creation of an independent board symbolises a new chapter for UC Leeds and is a reflection of the ongoing commitment to higher education from Leeds City College and Luminate Education Group.
With 1,400 students and 58 courses, the curriculum teams at UC Leeds have dedicated significant time and effort to ensure they are meeting the needs of learners. In response to this, Luminate has won a bid to invest £12m for a new HE space at Magbate, which will further improve student and staff experiences, as well as allow for growing capacity.
Such successes, alongside what is happening in the sector in relation to the Office for Students’ (OfS) requirements, means that now is the perfect time to invest in a dedicated board. This will enable more focus and resources to be committed towards helping UC Leeds achieve its goals, which include becoming a higher education institution with awarding body powers, as it forges ahead.
Governance in education is incredibly important as it not only holds UC Leeds to account, but also helps them be even more strategic and forward-thinking within the communities they serve. It enables them to more closely scrutinise the quality of the education that they offer to students, so they can be more competitive and outcome-focused. At the centre of this decision is ensuring that the university centre continues to offer quality educational experiences for students.
Having a specialist board is an exciting development for UC Leeds that will result in governors contributing to strategic planning and decision-making, as well as advising on curriculum to ensure they maintain the highest standards.
The independent board will be responsible for oversight of quality and standards, as well as overseeing a strategy for continuous improvement. A Chair of Governors has already been appointed – Mark Garratt, who has over 11 years’ experience in senior roles at a number of UK universities.
He said: “Having been on the board of Leeds City College as the higher education link governor since 2017, I’m delighted to now become chair of the newly formed University Centre Leeds Board.
“These are exciting times for higher education in the UK, with universities taking an active and important role in helping to prepare students for an increasingly diverse range of careers.
“I look forward to working with the executive team to support students from all backgrounds in transforming their lives.”
The board will be made up of members from a broad range of professional backgrounds, to represent UC Leeds’ core curriculum offer of healthcare, STEM, legal and creative arts subjects. A student member of the board has already been identified, and nominations for a staff member to join will soon open. We will share further information on this with you soon.
We held our second teaching and learning conference on Monday 4 July focused on learning and development for teaching staff and co-professionals across Luminate Education Group.
This year’s conference theme ‘Unlocking Potential’, was an opportunity for colleagues from across all member organisations to come together with a common purpose around their collective passion for high-quality teaching, learning and assessment.
More than 1019 delegates from Leeds City College, Keighley College, Harrogate College, Leeds Sixth Form College, University Centre Leeds and Leeds Conservatoire attended the conference that addressed topics such as climate change, work-based learning, leadership and management development, supporting learning and excellence in teaching, learning, assessment.
Conference organiser, Jennifer Miccoli, said: “It was wonderful to see colleagues coming together from across the group to network and share best practice.
“Our fundamental role as an education group is to ensure our learners are accessing excellent education from driven, well-trained teachers and co-professionals who are consistently transforming lives. We have so many members of staff across the group delivering ground-breaking projects that are making a real difference to students’ lives.
“An event such as this was a chance to not only come together as a group, but to reflect on what we have achieved.
The conference was opened by keynote presentations from:
Well respected motivational speaker and life coach, Jaz’s keynote spoke about what it means to be a ‘human first’. She also gave insight on how educators can learn how to unleash their true potential, be more resilient and drive change.
What it takes to Unlock Potential
Jo Smedley, meanwhile, spoke about the importance of overcoming barriers and the three keys to unlocking potential.
She said: “There are three keys to unlocking potential; awareness, willingness to change and adapt, and the growth zone.
“We are now living in a world where we have to cope with an ever-changing landscape.
“Often we lock ourselves away and get on with ‘comfort and safety’. But, there is power in being vulnerable and we have to be more open now so that we can embrace a ‘growth mindset’.”
‘COP 26 Climate Canopy’ Experience the science
With sustainability practice high on the agenda across Luminate Education Group, Alison Smith’s session gave insight on how to become a climate advocate, and how to have positive conversations with students and colleagues, who work in a wide range of settings, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
She said: “If you’re an artist, incorporating STEM subjects is really crucial – art is a brilliant way of expressing those ideas and telling those stories.”
There was also an opportunity to explore the five metre long, interactive artwork.
Dispeling what we think we know about autism
Other highlights included motivational speaker Dean Beadle, who shared his experiences of living with autism and the myths and misconceptions associated with it.
Breaking down barriers and tackling key issues
While the conference hosted a wide range of external speakers, a number of speakers across the group engaged with delegates, with Advanced Practitioner, Laura Kayes, sharing her current research on poverty informed practice and Sixth Form Teaching & Learning Programme Manager, Olivia Bowers’ session on helping students to retain, reuse and recall.
Overall, the conference gave colleagues the opportunity to access workshops and sessions that helped develop creative thought, in line with the group’s strategic priorities and in fulfilling the vision of the TLA Strategy 2021-23 ‘The Power of Potential.’
It also highlighted the key role that educators across the group are undertaking in the community, and in the region.
Resources from all five sessions are now available here

I am having a problem with my HID lighting and thought someone here could help. My driver's side headlight flashes when I first turn it on and then it goes off. It does this no matter if it is high beam or low beam. My passenger side light is fine. I installed a new ballast and it does the exact same thing.
Does it sound like the bulb is bad? Could the relay have gone bad?
I haven't had a chance to switch the bulbs around yet, I haven't been home before dark since the problem started a week or so ago.

He has also had many poems published, and has performed poetry and music at various venues around London, including frequent appearances at the legendary coffeehouse Bunjies, which in the 60s featured artists such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and David Bowie. Wonderful article. It was extremely revealing, and interesting to see just how deep the roots for modern fantasy go.
And what a diverse author! The Lady of Abundance sounds like a fascinating grey character, perhaps even a femme fatale. This does sound like an intriguing story with good imagery, and I thank you for introducing me to it. Thank you! There are a great many wonderful collections available free or at minimal cost. I have been working my way through 33 collections and enjoying them very, very much. Much of the work in these collections is so old it has no known author; even the ethnic origins are in question with many of them. But that does not lessen the enjoyment and wonder of the storytelling in the least.
I love it! Thanks FF for turning me on to this one. Within the fantasy I can see truth and fact. I am about to write a book at present and intend to interpolate what I identify as truth from the fantasy of this novel and use that. I wonder when I read some of this if William Morris may have had some visions.
We are living in dangerous and trying times for which truth is needed. I personally know the Truth about the Holy Grail but fiction and fantasy have become more palatable or acceptable to human perception and acceptance than the concept of truth.. I must admit that first paragraph of this review mystified me. Mysterious guide? Hero seriously wounded? And which work is in which league is debatable. Name required.

Here’s an exercise for those who think that Republicans’ Double Standard Paranoia Quotient regarding media bias is unjustified at best and borderline paranoid at worst.
(1) Read the following excerpt (the first four paragraphs) from Carrie Johnson’s report in today’s WaPo, headliined “A Split At Justice On D.C. Vote Bill.” (The story doesn’t appear in today’s New York Times, but at this stage that’s not cause for any DSPQ because it appears to be a WaPo scoop. Let’s wait and see see how many legs it grows in other outlets over the next couple of days.)
Justice Department lawyers concluded in an unpublished opinion earlier this year that the historic D.C. voting rights bill pending in Congress is unconstitutional, according to sources briefed on the issue. But Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who supports the measure, ordered up a second opinion from other lawyers in his department and determined that the legislation would pass muster.
A finding that the voting rights bill runs afoul of the Constitution could complicate an upcoming House vote and make the measure more vulnerable to a legal challenge that probably would reach the Supreme Court if it is enacted. The bill, which would give the District a vote in the House for the first time, appeared to be on the verge of passing last month before stalling when pro-gun legislators tried to attach an amendment weakening city gun laws. Supporters say it could reach the House floor in May.
In deciding that the measure is unconstitutional, lawyers in the department’s Office of Legal Counsel matched a conclusion reached by their Bush administration counterparts nearly two years ago, when a lawyer there testified that a similar bill would not withstand legal attack.
Holder rejected the advice and sought the opinion of the solicitor general’s office, where lawyers told him that they could defend the legislation if it were challenged after its enactment.
Democratic and Republican Justice Department veterans said it is unusual, though not unprecedented, for the solicitor general, who backs the administration’s position before the Supreme Court, to be asked to weigh in before a case makes its way into a courtroom. Typically, legal scholars said, the solicitor general is asked whether the office can plausibly defend a law in court, rather than to opine directly on the legality of a piece of legislation. The office was asked for the opinion several weeks ago, before the Senate confirmed Elena Kagan as the new solicitor general.
(2) For “Holder” substitute “Gonzalez” or “Ashcroft” or “Meese” or “Mitchell” or the surname of any other Republican Attorney General of the last several decades..
(3) Consider what the reaction would be if one of them —say Alberto Gonzalez— had overruled a decision he didn’t like, that had been made by the appropriate office at DOJ, by assigning another less appropriate but more dependably friendly office to supply the opposite conclusion.
(4) Join me in following the development of this story and tracking the outrage level on, say, Countdown with Keith Olbermann and the Rachel Maddow Show, and the op-ed page of the New York Times.
(5) Monitor the usually hair-trigger indignation meter at NPR for discussions of such politicization of the DOJ. Count the conniptions experienced by Diane Rehm and Tom Ashbrook.
(6) Makes notes on Donna Brazile’s, Paul Krugman’s, Katrina vanden Heuvel’s, and Paul Begala’s barely controllable righteous ire on the Sunday talk shows.
(7) Don’t hold your breath.
Who knows, maybe I’ll be wrong. After all, there’s a first time for everything. But if I’m not, then, please, enough already about the Republicans’ misplaced paranoia regarding media bias.

Born: May 30, 1962
Born in 1962 in Philadelphia, Grant moved to Denver, CO, as a young child. Starting piano lessons before his teens, Grant was enough of a prodigy that he joined the Boulder, CO-based Pearl Street Jazz Band, a young but internationally renowned traditional New Orleans-style combo, at the impossibly tender age of 15, touring worldwide with the group for two years. Grant won a scholarship to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, at the age of 17; while at Eastman (where his classmates included future novelist Nicholson Baker), Grant focused on performance studies over theory, which he covered in his graduate studies in jazz theory and composition at the University of Miami....

(1 of 3) Speaking of change. . .
This post will come as three parts:
Speaking of Change,
Don’t Wait for Permission, and
No. You Don’t Have Time.
I’ve delayed in writing this particular posting as I have been deep in the midst of my own change. Typically, I like to throw myself into changes just to see how they work out. Get Your Wisdom On blog is one of the fairly recent changes to my scope of work. Writing this particular post hasn’t come as easily as I hoped, so I took some time to contemplate the reasons it’s taken more mustering than usual.
If you have ever embarked on a part of your journey that you’ve no comparison, it might seem that the path is difficult to navigate. I speak of a change that’s so foreign, you wonder why you should even attempt it. Ha, I suppose that’s the beauty of the new thing. Many of us have moved out of a neighborhood or stepped away from a job that had become what seems like part us. If done often enough, that type of move can become banal and not worth the time spent thinking about it; we just do it. I don’t mean to demean this type of move, though. Changes like these can be complicated, as you take into consideration many aspects. You may ask yourself if your decision is the best one or not.
*Let me say:
The best decision is the one that is good for you right now.
You’ll know soon enough for sure; then you may make additional changes to make it fit your life.
Let’s get back to the choice you may make that will change everything you know and embark on an epic journey, the one you have never had an inkling of experience. We will never know our futures, nor will we ever be secure in our choice to make the plunge. What I mean is simply that the future isn’t certain. The road we’re on feels comfortable to us only because it’s familiar. Familiarity isn’t safe. If it’s a job change, we think because it pays a certain salary each week, it’ll be waiting for us forever. I’m going to play havoc with that belief system. Many people over the years have thought that job security exists. It doesn’t. Companies change. Those who run companies change their minds about how that company is run. You’re most often the chess piece used for the sport of making that company money. Yes, I know you’re loyal and you feel they’ll be as well. One can never really tell. My suggestion is to follow your dream.
If you plan to do anything in your life, realize that change is inevitable. And it is neither good or not good. It’s change.
What helps is to understand change and the fears that come with it. One of the keys is to embrace change no matter what.
Before you learned to drive a car, snow board, earn a degree, or anything new, you didn’t know how it would change you. Your choice enabled you to feel freedom, pleasure, or accomplished. Good things came from your change, but you didn’t know that at the time. You struggled through the beginnings of it. You might even had fears such as running off the road, falling over a snowy cliff, or failing miserably. But as you worked further, you found that you gained confidence. A lack of confidence keeps us from something we wish to attain through change. Exploring your fears helps to identify what holds you back from entering the door before you.
Do you think you’ll lose friends if you change? Do you think you’ll miss out on something else if you change? If you become successful at the new thing, who do you think you’ll hurt?
Think about this: change happens all around us each day. Most of these we accept without much thought. Technological changes are the norm. We expect the latest gadget to become obsolete within the next few months. Other changes are not so commonplace. In the US, the health care system is changing. In this instance, some of us will embrace it while others will resist.
What about changes we decide for our own lives?
Do we or should we resist our own desires if we feel the slightest fear of the unknown? Surely we’ve gone through other changes; and today we look back at what now seems trivial. We say, “Of course it can be done. I did it.”
How about how others will see us as we change? Do we often feel like we should ask for permission?
Read my next post entitled. Don’t Wait for Permission.
