A great day occurred in Australia yesterday, which the global Sathya Sai Organization may do well to note.
There is a strong lesson about admitting mistakes of the past, and responding with heart to the sorrow that one’s actions or one’s group’s actions have caused.

McDonald's is one of the first companies within the UK to start offering qualifications deemed to be the same standard as at A-level. Whether you actually need such a high level qualification just to flip a burger is debatable. However the idea is that different companies start offering a variety of qualifications which are then portable. At the moment employers know the value of an A-level or a GCSE but they don't know the value of a training course held within a particular company. For instance you might get a certificate just for turning up without demonstrating any particular knowledge.The new standards of qualifications from within particular companies is meant to address this problem. The idea is that accredited companies will be able to award particular qualifications the standards of which will then be understood making them portable from one company to another.Already though, there is an outcry about this idea. Negative comments about qualifications in burger flipping or in th

The Internet has really revolutionalized the way we can seek golfing advice and with the advent of video sharing sites like youtube we are able to find almost any golf lesson we need. The next advent will be HD youtube, which will make the videos more clear and easier to watch and will make online golfing instruction even better. I can't wait!I came across this video yesterday and thought I would share it with my readers. It has a very easy to understand method of playing the flop shot and while I use a slightly different method myself, this method should work for most golfers.

Click here to listen.Tiger Woods looked a bit like Phil Mickelson and family after his win at the Target World Challenge with grandma holding up baby Sam to receive a wet one while Elin proudly looked on. Perfect Kodak moment!Now it's time for a six-week respite. Perhaps a holiday aboard the yacht, then Christmas with the relatives?Or, maybe a powow with the lesser known side of the family? Cheyenne Woods signed a National Letter of Intent to play golf at Wake Forest University so a bit of catching up couldn't hurt, especially since Tiger and Cheyenne both share a common bond. Earl Woods Sr. gave his granddaughter her first set of golf clubs and, as Tiger remarked, "she started in the garage where I started. I'll never forget that day."Besides the apparent similar features, Cheyenne, daughter of Earl Woods Jr., is becoming an accomplished golfer. But she lacks Tiger's humble nature, commenting in an interview earlier in the year that she doesn't just want to be known as "somebody's rel

I sincerely hope that White House flak Dana Perino can take a few minutes from her busy day of misinforming our corporate lap dog media, as well as talking down to Helen Thomas, to learn about the Cuban Missile Crisis (and no, I'm not talking about the mixed alcoholic drink served at Red Square at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas), since she has professed ignorance on that subject.And as for this clip of President Kennedy addressing the nation on the subject, all we can do is recall a better time and keep working for impeachment of these Republican criminals who, short of that, still have about 400 days to go in office (and the obscenities perpetrated under their watch grow more despicable by the minute).Joseph A.

Here's another video for you ATOMIC fans. A lot better picture quality.
Let me know if you have trouble with this lesson since there are no tabs. I slowed down the sequence a lot so you can slowly see everything I'm playing. My only concern is for those of you who don't already know your 7 Modes of your Major Scale.
Check out this 3-note-per-string Pentatonic speed riff in Em, ATOMIC fans. Make sure to warm up properly before attempting to play this one, especially if you'll be playing it in the lower register. You might be able to pull it off from the 5th position, but be aware that you could be injured. So play at your own risk.
By the way, I play this all legato, all hammer-ons and pull-offs. No, I'm not Paul Gilbert or anything. He's awesome, but I'm too lazy to play like him... To tell you the truth, come to think of it, this is actually something along the lines that gilbert would play as legato. He'll shred it if he wants to give you a concussion.
Also BTW, better lighting to come... I'll get better at this guitar vlogging thing.
This racehorse is like 0 for 128! How does that happen? I think if you own a horse and you reach lets say 0-60 you have to take close look at the big letter “L” on your forehead. Does the horse know its the all-time loser in the history of the sport when its running [...]

If you were to read what the UK and Irish mainstream press wrote about the result of the recent Greek General Election, one would have thought the Lefts performance amounted to little more than a dismal also-ran to the Right wing New Democracy[ND] and its leader Kostas Karamanlis. However this was far from the full picture as Dave Osler astutely pointed out on his web site.* If one adds up the percentages of votes cast, the left came out the poll with 51.29% of the total votes cast. Yet it is to be ND, with Kostas Karamanlis as Prime Minister who will be sworn in as the new Greek government, despite only receiving 41.84% of the vote. This fact is due to not only the vagaries of the Greek electoral system, but also the current inability of the Greek left to form an electoral alliance made up of the various left parties and factions. As for the political parties to the left of Pasok, the two main elements increased there vote, with the Greek Communist party [KKK] gaining 22 seats in

I agree and will change things accordingly.First a few words about me so you can get a picture of my environment as it is essential to this discussion. A bad accident can be a point of discontinuity in a persons life and an auto accident turned mine upside down in October 1996 and due to the same accident I dont remember much about my life prior to the accident other than being a habitual underperformer. I had studied electrical engineering and ended up with a low C average and was drifting through life aimlessly. One day I came across a quote from Michael Jordan. It said AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO STOP ASPIRING TO BE THE MAN YOU WANT TO BE AND START BEING THE MAN YOU ASPIRE TO BE. I went back to school the next semester and started taking courses again. There I met two people who had a profound e

The photo above is of a scenic spot in the Cayman Islands, a favored location for corporate cheats who wish to dodge paying U.S. taxes. It definitely pertains to this article from Dan Morgan of the Washington Post that appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday.The story has to do with a bill sponsored by the U.S. House that ran into a host of objections from Republicans and ended up facing the inevitable veto threat from President Clouded Vision (who just seems permanently attached to that veto pen any more, by the way...and here's more).As the Inquirer notesIn addition to paying for traditional farm programs, the bill provides billions of dollars over the next decade for conservation, research on biofuels, and nutrition programs such as food stamps. There is new money for organic farmers, fruit and vegetable snacks for schoolchildren, and rural development.At a Capitol Hill rally Tuesday attended by dozens of farm-state lawmakers, lobbyists and representatives of advocacy gr
I may be the last person in the kingdom to have seen this, but you probably won’t mind watching it again if you know the story of a remarkable, rather odd looking, young man in England who was a contestant on the English equivalent of ‘American Idol’. The English version is not necessarily looking for pop stars, as you will see here.
The before and after shots of the judges are worth noting. From a near-sneer to adulation, in just a couple of minutes. In my case, my eyes start getting dusty about 1:20 into this clip.

Chauncey Billups learned a lesson in economics today. Specifically in regard to the laws of supply and demand.Here's "Supply and demand" defined: "Demand means the quantity of a given article which would be taken at a given price. Supply means the quantity of that article which could be had at that price."In other words, the law of supply and demand means your price is going to go down when the supply is greater than the demand.Chauncey Billups entered the free agent market as the best point guard available, and could be signed by any bidder. But the market for veteran point guards turned out to be minimal, especially after the NBA draft. The teams that needed PG's, got themselves PG's, at a price cheaper than the going rate for Billups.Unable to afford Cristal after signing his below market deal, Chauncey Billups celebrates his new deal by chugging a 40The veteran PG market thus dwindled down to one team, the Detroit Pistons.

This video says it all so no need for a fire and brimstone sermon today. (Be warned you may need tissues,I tear up every timeI watch it.)
I strongly urge you to visit the Dove Campaign for RealBeauty Website, learn all you can and if possible host a self-esteem workshop (the dvd is FREE). It would make a great addtion to the next sleep over party! Let schools know about it, get one for free and give it to a teacher! Let girl scout leaders know about it!
They also have a free mother-daughter kit - I’m ordering mine today, are you?
Hug your kids, hug yourself. Teach your children self-esteem and acceptance. Promote awareness and true beauty. Stop the hate and the cruel words whenever you can.
Thank you so much Kate and Molly for posting this awesome video, it is truly a valuable resource.

The Salman Rushdie lesson was not learntExcerpt from Mark SteynSo many of our problems with Iran today arise from not doing anything about our problems with Iran yesterday. Men like Ayatollah Khomeini despised pan-Arab nationalists like Nasser who attempted to impose a local variant of Marxism on the Muslim world. Khomeini figured: Why import the false ideologies of a failing civilization? Doesn't it make more sense to export Islamism to the dying West?And, for a guy dismissed by most of us as crazy, Khomeini made a lot of sense. The Rushdie fatwa established the ground rules: The side that means it gets away with it. Mobs marched through Britain calling for the murder of a British subject - and, as a matter of policy on the grounds of multicultural sensitivity, the British police shrugged and looked the other way. One reader in England recalled one demonstration at which he asked a constable why the "Muslim community leaders" weren't being arrested for incitement to murder. The offi

Today I had to teach my first 50-minute-AEON-lesson :o! It was a practice lesson in front of the trainer Andy and one of my fellow trainees Adrik. They pretended to be my Japanese students and I was teaching (or at least trying to) them a full lesson like I will have to do at Inuyama very soon. I was kind of freaking out right before I had to start (see picture), but I wasn't alone because all six of us trainees were nervous and scared for the lesson! I had to teach the simple past of irregular verbs and according to the feedback and my trainer I wasn't nearly as bad as I thought myself. I mostly got positive feedback and loads of great tips on how to improve my lesson for tomorrow when I'll be teaching actual Japanese students. Let's hope for the best!
There is a story of about a sea captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Shetland Islands. On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up, and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer. But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to my ship."Here is a lesson for us......If we cannot and will not seek God in quiet moments of our lives, we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic. But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough.Stay blessed and have a great weekend."It is in the moments of silence, that you hear, your self ".

Friday afternoon I get an out-of-the-blue call from the president/owner of a very well known Film & Television Production company. He invites me to come out and meet him in SoHo at around 9pm. A dynamite restaurant with dynamite service called Pastis. He would like to discuss a future project(s) that I might be right for. I was a tad nervous because I know the entertainment business and I know New York. I don't want to sound cynical (nor do I want to be naive) but there are a ton of bullshitters, posers, assholes, and yahoos out there all claiming to be somebody theyre not and they can do something they really can't (or won't). So when a rare moment happens and a person in power such as Peter (his name) says he intends to help me out its hard not to question if there is an ulterior motive. Thus far, I can find none.
