Ready to Meditate?
Meditation can be challenging. Even after you've had a taste of its benefits and long for those sweet moments of inner calm, clarity, and deep connection, it can be hard to just sit. If you're like most people, you may find that one day your mind is speeding into the future, your body feels agitated, and you can't sit still, while the next day you're so lethargic that you can hardly stay awake.
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah
WEST ALLIS, Wis. – Sarah Palin rallied thousands of abortion opponents Friday night with a a stark warning that the same philosophy that allows abortion rights could soon be invoked to allow the government to cut off health care for the elderly or children with special needs.
Speaking to a fund-raising banquet of Wisconsin Right to Life, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee asserted that if policy-makers don’t believe a child in the womb is valuable, then “perhaps the same mind-set applies to other persons.”
“What may they feel about an elderly person who doesn’t have a whole lot of productive years left,” Palin asked an audience of about 5,000 who paid $30 each to hear her speak in an airplane hangar-like exhibition hall at the Wisconsin state fairgrounds just outside of Milwaukee.
Family Ties: The Other Bill Clinton
Family Ties: The Other Bill Clinton Global VIP's Attend Clinton Global Initiative By NANCY GIBBS A daughter seeking her father's attention faces steep competition when he's also the leader of the free world. Teddy Roosevelt's daughter Alice smoked on the White House roof, buried a voodoo doll of the incoming First Lady under the White House lawn, jumped fully clothed into a cruise-ship pool — and persuaded a Congressman to follow. "I can either run the country or I can control Alice," Roosevelt once said.Yesterday Is Dead by Arianna (Written 23rd August 2009)
Yesterday Is Dead
when i see those empty people walking on the street
i always wonder what happened to them to make them admit defeat?
do i look like those people?
wandering the streets alone
with no umbrella when its raining
and no coat when it snows?

The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world's most prized archaeological and spiritual artifact, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos. Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries." The announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m.REFLECTION - Ashish Sengupta
Reflection - the blade cuts in both directions - one kills - one heals - there she touches his heart...
I was struggling
to sleep
but the pain
in my heart
was threatening
to burst open
Which was
virtually
getting me
into an
emotional
strangulation.
So I got up
and wandered
in the darkness
of my
room
The vacuum
increased
the pain
in my
heart
once
again
I
wanted
to cry
as I
couldn’t
bear this
loneliness
anymore
Restlessly
I went
and stood
on the
balcony
to be
greeted
by a cool
refreshing
breeze
Soothing
my
pain
a bit
The roads
were
empty
the houses
looked dull
and
ugly
The
silence
of the
night
gripped
me
with a
sudden
fear
Loneliness
loomed
large
again
Tears
flooded
my eyes
blurring
my
vision
I walked
back
into the room
switched
on the
lights
Bathed
myself
in the
soft
glow
of it
It helped
as it
washed
away
the fear
of
death
Because
light
symbolises
life
But
still
I
couldn’t
help
wondering
about
my
loneliness
And then
by chance
I caught
a glance
in
the mirror
A smile
grew
on my
face
making it
look
brighter
For I have
then
realized
I
wasn’t
lonely
anymore
Because
I
was
with
myself...

DENIED: Bigotry of the Obamatrons by Charles Winecoff Recently, at the office (a place I sometimes affectionately refer to as Obama Central), I made the mistake of printing out a Washington Post editorial that questioned the foreign policy expertise of our new Commander-in-Chief. By the time I got to the printer to pick it up, someone else had already seen it - and stamped “DENIED” across the top of the page in red ink. Next to that was scrawled, “RIGHT WINGER GO HOME.” The first thing that went through my mind was: cross burnings.First Foray into MAC
Hi Ladies!
I headed to the nearest mall earlier today to visit a MAC counter and Sephora. I found out there's actually a MAC store in our mall, so I went in there, and discovered they still had the Peppermint Patty nail polish and had that set aside for me, then wandered around looking at all of the amazing colors until I'd seen everything and then sat for a makeover.
