We live on a heart shaped lake.
We have a heart shaped Yard
Our entrance has an oak tree with a heart shaped wound.
Recently a reader sent me a note when I mentioned that I rode my old rusting bikes for exercise. His note and my reply can explain how I emphasize FUN.
He wrote: I did 15 miles today (AND I DID IT FAST!). That's my Sunday morning workout.
I take a pre workout product don't get any of the lactic acid build up I used to get on my bike ride.
I have to say that I am so incompetent when it comes to anything mechanical when I decided to get a bike I bought one that had no chain. One
of the smartest things I ever did.
You've got the loot…get yourself a decent bike and really enjoy the ride.
My reply clarifies some of my thinking relating to exercise.
My bike is a Walmart special from the 90s at the heart shaped oak tree.
The bucks matter not. The function of that old bike is perfect and it brings so many warm memories each time I jump on the seat. My health disciplines are based on finding good exercise that I love rather than forcing. I have learned about myself "with pain there is no gain" because I will not keep it up.
My bike rides are ambles where I enjoy the scenery… no outfit… no helmet… though I work up a mild sweat and make the legs burn a bit.
Plus I am very loyal. How could I abandon a faithful bike of 30 years for a trophy ride?
Merri's Bike
That rust adds wind resistance and the basket on back creates weight so I have to peddle a bit harder. Why pay more money to eliminate this healthy resistance?
Each morning I mediate for 30 minutes or so… take a 15 to 20 minute sauna and do a number of important yaga poses including the sun salute.
I take a long walk almost every day or a canoe paddle or a bike ride or something that is exercise AND FUN.
When I ride on my rusty old bike I feel like a kid rolling down the hills. Plus I never have to worry about someone stealing my bike!
Fun is one of the key elements of natural health and learning.
Often we can learn how to improve our habits created by the unnatural dogma of society by observing nature's way.
Have you ever noticed how young…
animals are so curious and always want to…
play? (This photo is from www.cutecutepics.com)
Children are so playful too and this playfulness turns them into dynamic learners.
The Western culture tends to compartmentalize life into separate spheres: work, family, education, politics, religion, recreation and entertainment. Most spheres are seen as being serious.
These assumptions of division are not natural and they certainly are not fun! Work becomes pressure. Education creates tension… politics… anger… exercise… work.
This compartmentalization separates work from play. This is an error. Play is nature's way of motivating us and helping us learn. Joy is the most powerful motivational force. Fun and games are God's great teachers!
Society can beat the playfulness out of us. Makes us serious. This can create stagnation, rigidity and fear of change at a time when embracing change can be our most valuable asset!
Reverse the process. If youth encourages play…. then play encourages youthfulness.
Start to play in your work and exercise and your business… your investing…. your health can improve if you add play to your exercise programs.
Chapter 13 in Jay Glaser's book "Body Renewal: The Lost Art of Self Repair" is entitled "Getting Serious About Playing" says: Everything in nature including living organisms, is under the jurisdiction of the principle of Least Action. From ancient times, natural philosophers observing the smooth arc of a tossed ball or the the path of refracted light have declared that nature acts by the most economical of means. The common element of every prescription in Vedic medicine is effortlessness.
How does this Vedic principle apply to sport, recreation and exercise? Just watch puppies, kittens and kids. Wrestling, horseplay and tussles are their work.
The Value of Play. Exercise done in this context is the wisest. because it is the most enduring and the safest. It's harder to push yourself to the point of injury when you have the attitude, "I'm just out playing". Like a newborn cub, the human body will intuitively seize on the requirement to tone, strengthen and condition itself.
Don't exercise, Just Play. A good research study shows that exercise is as effective as the anti-depressant Zoloft in relieving depression especially in the long run. More recently, it was shown in a study of Scottish adults that being physically active just once a week for twenty minutes including doing housework and gardening – is enough to lower risk of psychological distress and improve mental health.
Play can help improve your health and wealth! This is why our mantra for two decades has been turn your passion into profit.
During these times of change, when economists and politicians and the press… the whole establishment say we are economically recessed or depressed or indebted… look for the things that make you want to play. Games you play can improve health, happiness and financial success.
Secret of the Hogberry
Gain Amazing Health Benefits with the Hogberry
More than 100 studies have found that physical activity can lower cancer risk and even help cure cancer. Fortunately researchers asked why and one answer became clear. Body fat.
Studies showed that those who were most active have a 25% lower chance of developing cancer because reduced body fat is possible pathway to lowering cancer risk. Time Magazine has some good information on the relationship between exercise and reducing cancer. Have a look below if you want to research more deeply (1).
Graph showing benefits of intermittent fasting.
Fortunately there is a little known way to reduce body fat that does not even require exercise. I'll share more on this secret in a moment.
First, body fat and cancer? Let's ask why?
Part of the answer is toxicity.
Healthy bodies naturally and regularly remove water-soluble toxins from the body. Our blood and kidneys flush them away.
Fat-soluble toxins such as metals, pesticides, preservatives, other pollutants are harder to flush out of the system. Fat-soluble toxins must become water-soluble before the body can get rid of them. The liver can do this conversion (bile emulsifies fat-souble toxins into water-soluble). This process requires healthy digestive and detox pathways. When they become imbalanced, fat-soluble toxins are stored in fat cells and brain cells instead. These toxins can remain for decades and create health problems.
The fat stored toxins cause oxidation (free radical damage) and degeneration as well as mutation. Toxins in the fatty tissue of the brain become neurotoxins that can cause cognitive problems and a host of mental and brain imbalances.
The way to avoid this storage of deadly toxicity is to keep stress down, while digestion and detoxification pathways remain good.
Burn Fat to Burn Toxins
When you burn fat not primarily for weight loss, (though you will lose weight) but for purification, you can turn on the body's detox fuel. Fat metabolism is the body's natural form of energy. Fat metabolism provides a more steady energy than glucose metabolism and flushes fat cells free of toxins. As the toxicity drops, the nervous system has reduced stress and will naturally burn fat instead of sugar.
Intermittent fasting is one way to get the body to burn fat. There is a way of eating that helps reduce weight, improve energy and purify the body as it returns to a state of natural health.
This is a simple easy way to improve and restore feeling good, but works best when combined with better nutrition, moderate exercise and a purification program that helps make sure that the body is not overwhelmed with too much purification at once.
This is why I have written a short report entitled "The FAST Way to Better Health" that features one special tea so an intermittent fasting routine becomes doable and enjoyable.
The Key is in the Hogberry
Intermittent fasting is guaranteed to work, if you have even reasonable nutrition, moderate physical activity and stick with it. The problem is in the sticking. When the brain is hooked on metabolizing sugar it can be very demanding. When we try going an extended period without a sugar, the brain will have a hissy fit and demand that we eat or drink something sweet or starchy or alcoholic.
Sticking through a fast just does not work when the brain pulls out its bag of tricks, from sweet whispers (just one chocolate won't hurt- but it will!) all the way to chills sweats and dizziness. Intermittent fasting, without help, can require enormous discipline that most of us cannot maintain long enough.
I know, I tried intermittent fasting several times and failed. Then I accidentally stumbled across the secret of the Hogberry that not only stops hunger but more importantly speeds up the process of switching from sugar metabolism to fat metabolism AND assists in the purifying process. Once I tried using this support for the pancreas (among other things), intermittent fasting became satisfying and enjoyable. I am passing 45 days in this routine, and the steady energy just gets better and better. I am not minding the reduced weight and better fitting clothing either!
"The FAST Way to Better Health" explains how intermittent fasting is not real fasting. One does not stop eating with an intermittent fast, not even for a day. You learn why this is such a healthy way to lose weight and detoxify fat cells to reduce risks of cancer, heart disease diabetes and senility.
More important you learn how to feel better almost from the very first day. Reduce stress, gain smooth steady energy without 10:30am and 3:00pm droops. Find out how to avoid being hungry right after you eat and how to make the cravings for sweets and junk food all but disappear.
I will send you this report "The FAST Way to Better Health" that reveals the secret of the Hogberry, FREE when you order my Shamanic Natural Health reports described below.
This is the only way to attain this report. Intermittent fasting can make your life better. It works best when you use the nutritional, exercise and purification tips outlined in these three reports. As with all my reports and courses, satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back. I want to be sure that the information in "The FAST Way to Better Health" works for you. The valuable knowledge you'll gain in these reports works better when the nutrition, purification and exercise reports are combined so I have made a special offer.
I have created three shamanic health reports are about:
#1: Nutrition
#2: Purification
#3: Exercise
In this special offer I want to send you a special report on how you can gain better natural health with the hogberry along with three other reports that reveal secrets of health and longevity.
The Secret Chargemaster Revealed
Few places can destroy health and ruin a lifetime of savings faster than a hospital. We are at risk from pocketbook surgery and the incredibly dangerous "Chargemaster". See below why chargemasters were normally kept secret, how a 2018 federal law requires their disclosure and how to gain protection from their abuse.
How can it be that medical costs are so high? Why is it so difficult to figure out the charge for a medical procedure?
The government in trying to help answer these questions began requiring hospitals from Jan. 1, 2019 to post their chargemaster lists.
These enormous lists of products and services ranging from a single aspirin up to a complicated surgery does little to answer these questions.
This very weak attempt to create transparency only provides data that is difficult to decipher and is mind-boggling for the consumer.
Chargemasters can include tens of thousands of items and procedures, with technical names and abbreviations that few can understand.
Plus when one goes into the hospital no one knows exactly what items and procedures will be necessary since treatment can vary widely based on the age and health and condition.
So listing the chargemaster isn't helpful or meaningful, but simply gives hospitals one more excuse for outrageous costs… "but we listed what these costs".
Modern American health care is under pressure. Despite horrendous costs, the system is faltering. At times the care is more dangerous than the illness. For example hospitals are the worst place to have a heart attack. The University of North Carolina, did a study and found that 40% of the patients who had hearts attacks in the hospital died before being discharged. (The study compared that with only a 4% death rate for those who had heart attacks outside the hospital.)
Plus it was recently revealed that medical endoscopy scopes in hospitals were infecting patients with deadly drug-resistant bacteria. The facts about this had not been previously disclosed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that hospital-acquired infections alone kill 99,000 people each year. Here is an even worse hospital mortality fact.
Click on image.
The image above shows a report from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Hospital-acquired infections alone kill 57% more Americans every year than all car accidents and falls put together.
Often, what patients catch in the hospital is worse than what sent them there. Governments and health care agencies agree – antibiotic resistance is a "nightmare." An antibiotic-resistant bacteria may be spreading in more hospitals than patients know. About one in every 25 hospitalized patients gets an infection and a 2013 report from the Journal of Patient Safety showed that medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the country.
Along with the risk of hospital acquired illness and medical errors, the second huge threat to our well being… is health care costs, especially at hospitals. This is because of the secrets in the chargemaster and the people who do not want us to know how much hospital costs have risen . Motivations beyond our good health, like corporate greed, want to keep us in the dark about health care cost.
The hospital bill above is part of a story about a $110,000 infection and why hospital "chargemasters" are often secret. This story tells how one person with resistant devastating infection ran up a $110,000 hospital bill only to find that Medicare would only pay $2,300 from treatment of infection.
Secret of the Chargemasters
Being in a hospital can kill as well as cure. There are odds on that. What is more certain is that hospitals can kill our finances.
The 'average' cost of hospital care is rising because the leading hospitals are front runners in figuring out how to amass market power so they can raise prices and decrease competition. A codeine pill that costs $20 at a hospital costs 50 cents at Rite-Aid or Walgreens. Hospitals have "chargemasters" a price list created by each hospital, that typically has more than ten thousand entries, so almost nothing — even an aspirin, a bag of IV fluid, or a visit from a physical therapist to help a patient get out of bed — is free. However, those lists are usually secret.
Hospital Failure
The Commonwealth Fund in its latest survey on overall health care ranked US healthcare dead last compared to 10 major countries. Despite being worst, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New York Times have all warned about huge, increasingly costly, health care changes. There are enormous problems in hospitals and chances are they are going to get worse.
When it comes to health care, we may well be on our own. The very people, institutions and establishments that we should rely on may actually hurt rather than help our health. Shamanic Wisdom accumulated over the millennia can fill the gap.
The way to escape the dangers of the high cost deteriorating health care system, is to not need it. Declare health independence… and create natural good health. There are dozens of simple, really low costs steps that can improve health… eating, purification, exercise, even the way we think and don't think when we sleep.
Ancient shamanic wisdom from around the world can help us reduce our risks of poor health care and help us fight the ever rising costs.
For nearly 50 years my wife Merri and I have lived around the world and checked out just about every source on natural health care. We have spent years living with natural health care insiders, and trying what they offered.
We took thousands of readers to Ecuador. Many met the shamans there and we saw some health miracles take place (including a miracle with me!)
Since not everyone can go to Ecuador or travel the world, we have created three Shamanic Natural Health Care Reports that can help improve our natural health. They are concise and to the point. In 15 minutes the first report shows exactly how to start preparing for better health and more energy.
We do not have to depend on the health care and health insurance monopolies for better natural health… or cave into a healthcare system that can put us at risk and charge outrageous prices at the same time.
Our shamanic health reports provide information on how to use ancient health care systems to become more healthy – self sufficient – providing our own good health.
The first report is "Sunski", the Andean word for good eating, for maximum nutrition and purification.
We started the series with eating because so many of our readers have found the Andean shamanic nutrition helps them kick start their health with weight trimming. Here is what a few readers have written to us:
These are typical notes I have received from readers.
* "Hi Merri, things have worked out well. I am healthier than I have ever been, lost 32 pounds since arriving in Sept. Bought a house and have finished the first level. What an amazing place you have found". Thanks Phil – Ecuador
* "We've decided to change our eating patterns since we came home because we so enjoyed our meals at the farm and how we felt physically. Thanks so much. With love" JJ New – Chicago
* "After eating all that delicious food I gained 3 lbs but it must be in muscle weight as my pants fit loosely!" R Vickers – New Mexico
* "The food was so delicious and I thought I ate a lot, but during the week I lost six pounds!" WB Australia.
Good eating is the first step towards natural health. The first rule of good health is getting the correct nutrition. The second step is purification of toxins and eating to avoid getting impurities in our body in the first place!
Sunski is a way to eat that strengthens and purifies as it stops adding toxicity from eating. Yet Sunski is a delicious, healthy "self defined" cleansing process. One lesson in Sunski shows how to correct a simple mistake that most of the Western population makes which increases the chances of adding and retaining weight by 84%.
"Sunski" combines lessons about healthy eating that we learned from years of working with ayurvedic health masters and then living with an Ecuador Taita Yatchak and his apprentices.
We lived, worked, farmed, cooked and ate with this Taita Yatchak for years while learning "Sunski".
The "Sunski" report has been 50 years and millions of miles of travel in the making.
We've invested thousands of hours into learning the skills of health self-reliance and resilience, identifying the best foods and combinations and sifted through loads of seeming contradictions to get to the facts about "do it yourself" longevity and natural health.
But that wasn't enough – not when our good health is on the line. So we consulted dozens of top professions who know a lot about natural health. We spoke with holistic MDs chiropractors, Indian Vidyas, Andean Yatchaks, and other self-reliant natural health experts who live this way every day.
Don't let the simplicity fool you… years of research went into these reports.
And we only kept the best of the best: this system is complete – and FAST to learn – so you can get started immediately.
We all need to stay out of hospitals and reduce our exposure to modern medical risks and costs.
Why re-invent the wheel? Especially when time is NOT on our side. We've already done the hard work for you pulling together the information so you can create better natural, good health.
Imagine… never worrying about what we eat ever again and reducing the risks of hospitalization and health care's outrageous costs.
A few of the life balancing nutritional tips include how to:
#1: Eat a balance of fat, carbohydrates and protein.
#2: Eat combinations of food for ideal digestion.
#3: Eat clean organic food prepared and served by happy, joyful people.
#4: Eat in good spirits at the right times of day.
#5: Chew in the correct way.
#6: Eat purifying and satisfying meals.
#7: Adapt eating habits that are suited to individual specific makeup and lifestyle and why such individualized nutrition is better than any specific set plan.
This report includes a complete list of EZ to use recipes that will immediately improve your short term energy… and your long term natural health – so that you never have to guess what foods you need (or rely on the health care establishment to tell you the truth).
Here are a few facts and health tools you gain:
* The single biggest constraint you'll face in your eating habits – and how you can eliminate it by adding two simple recipes to your Sunski system.
* How to calculate exactly how much food you need so you don't over or under build your nutritional plan.
* A simple solution for making sure that your food delivers what your body needs when you need it.
* What components you can choose for yourself and how to avoid mass diets that seem to work for every one except… you.
* The best long term solution for avoiding sugar.
* Use sweet spices to compensate for stress.
* Specific types of unique spices that give you the biggest energy bang for your buck.
* Spices that cleanse and purify.
* Three changes in your fruit consumption that is a critical component for long term purificatioN.
* The best times to eat specific foods.
* How to direct different foods to different parts of the body.
* Three teas that add a resilience to your natural health system that are easy to make and enjoy at home at a low cost.
* Why it is good (in fact almost a requirement) to sometimes eat junk food.
This report on nutrition also includes 23 special recipes of quick and easy but perfectly balanced meals and snacks.
One of the recipes is for high protein Chocolate Quinoa Pancakes.
All of this information is in "Sunski" the first of the three shamanic health reports.

Learn how nutritional secrets can help keep you out of the hospital.
These reports focus on how to have good natural health so you can remain independent and avoid costly medical care. The second report looks at purification and detoxification.
The third report is about exercise… but not the type you would think.
Unlock the Mystery of Key Muscles
For example this third report unveils one exercise that is a nutritional trick that has nothing to do with what we eat. The trick is to energize and coordinate the digestive system by exercising a set of key muscles as we eat. The body has a number of key muscles that regulate breathing, digestion, circulation, elimination and muscular motion. The report reveals an exercise you can do at the dinner table to energize these muscles which in turn coordinate every other muscle and organ in the body. Eating in this way for example (most of the modern world does not) energizes just one key muscle that regulates part of our ability to burn sugars and fat.
Part of the report focuses on how to have financial balance in investing and business so you can remain independent.
The report looks at oxygenation, coordination, purification, energy boosting, education, occupation and relaxation.
Oxygenation-Coordination: Learn how to gain extra oxygen with the Llama Walk.
Purification: We look at Andean purification herbs and purifying teas.
Energy Boosting: Eating balanced, correctly prepared organic food and drinking herbal teas designed for body type and body imbalances.
Occupation: Physical labor, suited to your body type and condition range from gardening and animal care to path building and clearing the woods.
Relaxation: Learn how Meditation, L-Thianine and Baroque Music enhance thinking and relieve stress.
Body Types Made EZ: Learn how they cause and influence nine body types and their imbalances. Discover seven easy ways to determine your body type and how to keep it in balance.
Healthy Eating Made EZ: Gain delicious, power packed weight reducing recipes from easy to obtain products from super market foods. Coddle Yourself Egg-High Protein Country Cottage Pie-Low Carb-Veggie Chile & Spaghetti- Weightless Bread-High Mountain Pure Protein Quinoa-Better Oatmeal of Steel- Several Soups for Super Strength-Berry Good Crunch Treat and Waist Less Apple Crumble are just a few.
Exercise for Strength and Better Health Made EZ: Medicine is dose. Too much exercise is as bad or worse as not enough. Learn how to let comfort be your exercise guide. Move with momentum-some exercises activate all muscles and provide the benefit of leverage, momentum and convenience so 12 minutes of exercise a day is enough.

Here is what others have said about this information:
"Though I ate more than ever, my weight dropped and I lost two inches off my waist." – S.H. Oregon
"The life path altering effects from the weekend with you and Merri continue. Thank you again. I have begun to change my diet. Bless you!" – D.B. Connecticut
"You are indeed a spiritual pioneer, blending disciplines to create tools and resources for success in this new land of opportunity. Anyone who thinks this is just all about money is missing the real message: This is about life in its most profound implications." – W.P. Australia
"I want to thank you for the wonderful time. I travailed from California to hear you convey your knowledge in the way you do so well, and I wasn't disappointed. The amount of information in the sessions was almost overwhelming, but it's exactly what I went to hear." – B.R. California
"The technical information I gathered was most not new to me, but I like to compliment you for putting it all in the right perspective and to make it very understandable to all. What was at our opinion one of the most important gaining of these 3 days is the opening of the new world, this new circle of what you call 'normal' people! (I call us 'not normal' as a matter of respect to the majority.) But as we know, all is relative and depends at the point of view of each, His spiritual mind and his opinion about the senses of our being." – E.V. Florida
"People who, among other things, are active and productive and creative and resourceful, whose word can be counted upon; People who realize that spirituality DOES NOT mean sitting in a cave contemplating your navel and weaving baskets, nor does it equate in the Western culture with living in abject poverty. People who realize that abundance is not a dirty word. People who understand that we are here to ENGAGE life, not to submit to circumstances out of fear and ignorance and apathy; People who don't just use the most current 'buzz words' so they can feel like they are part of the group, but who actually DO something… Builders. Thank you for showing up in my life." – E.W. Nevada
Good health is the most important asset in stressful times. Beyond the fact that modern health intervention (ie. hospital) can destroy one's finances, being in good health brings the energy and balance required to make sound investing and business decisions.

I have seen the word "linguaphile" (meaning word lover or language lover) on Dictionary.com and the Free Dictionary, but it's not there in the Oxford English Dictionary. It no longer tries to be comprehensive. "The language is expanding so fast this may be an impossible mission," said Edmund Weiner, deputy chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.
Mark Abley recalls their conversation in his book, The Prodigal Tongue: Dispatches from the Future of English, where he also writes about Singlish and other variants of the English language, as I mentioned here.
"The Internet poses problems," said Weiner. "We tend to avoid citing the Web unless we feel we really have to. What we've tended to cite are newsgroups and discussion groups – they guarantee to archive them for a long time. We've occasionally taken quotations from websites. But we don't like doing that."

Pizza delivery person robbed at gunpoint in South Portland
Police looking for three suspects
South Portland Police said a pizza delivery person was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Olde English Village apartments just before 10 Saturday night.
The delivery person met with a customer, who according to police, may have been involved in the robbery. At that time, he was approached by two other people, one with a gun and the other with a knife.
Police said the delivery person was ordered to hand over some cash and the pizza. When he did, the suspects and the customer ran away in the direction of Westbrook Street.
The delivery person was not injured, according to police.
All three suspects are described as black males in their early 20s. Police said one had a red bandana covering his face, a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants. Another had a gray and red bandana covering his face, a black hooded sweatshirt and pants, according to police. The other suspect is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 120 pounds with "very crooked front teeth."
Anyone with any information is asked to call Detective Steven Connors at 799-5511 ext. 217.

The outspoken lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal battle against President Donald Trump, said today that he will not run for president in 2020.
"After consultation with my family and at their request, I have decided not to seek the Presidency of the United States in 2020," Avenatti posted on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. "I do not make this decision lightly - I make it out of respect for my family."
Avenatti had floated the possibility of running for the presidency on the Democratic ticket in 2020 earlier this year, after shooting to fame representing Daniels in her lawsuit against Trump. Daniels, who claimed she had an affair with Trump more than a decade ago, said she was paid off to keep quiet about her affair prior to the 2016 presidential election.
The outspoken lawyer said, his family's concern is why he decided not to run.
"But for their concerns, I would run," Avenatti wrote.
Avenatti made it clear he wasn't leaving the public eye anytime soon. He wrote that he would continue to represent Daniels in her lawsuit against Trump, and that he won't rest until Trump and his cronies are "removed from office, and our republic and its values are restored."
"I will also continue with my nearly twenty years of speaking truth to power and representing those who need an advocate against the powerful."
Avenatti voiced concerns about the possible Democratic nominee for president in 2020, writing in the release that, "I remain concerned that the Democratic Party will move toward nominating an individual who might make an exceptional President but has no chance of actually beating Donald Trump. The party must immediately recognize that make of the likely candidates are not battletested and have no real chance at winning."
"I remain hopeful the party finds one," Avenatti said.
The 47-year-old attorney has also found himself in hot water recently. He was arrested on Nov. 14 in Century City, California on suspicion of felony domestic violence - a charge that Avenatti has repeatedly and vehemently denied. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office has declined to file any charges against him, and has referred the case to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office for consideration and review for possible misdemeanor charges.
Following his arrest, Avenatti told reporters that he had "never struck a woman."
"I have been an advocate for women's rights my entire career, and I'm going to continue to be an advocate. I am not going to be intimidated from stopping what I am doing. I am a father to two beautiful, smart daughters. I would never disrespect them by touching a woman inappropriately or striking a woman. I am looking forward to a full investigation at which point I am confident that I will be fully exonerated."

Gifts Policy
The Emerson College Archives is happy to accept donations that fall within its collection scope. Any collection accepted commits us to the task of organizing and preserving it, which involves hand labor and costs for archival supplies. Donors are encouraged to include a monetary donation to fund the cost of processing and preserving their materials.
Due to limited staffing, budget and space, all donations or gifts are subject to review by the Head of Archives and Special Collections or the Executive Director of the Library and may be declined. Partial collections are discouraged, but may be reviewed at the discretion of the Archives.
When a donation is accepted, a deed of gift must be signed by the donor specifying the materials to be donated. This deed of gift will be negotiated between the donor and Emerson College. Special conditions may be specified by the donor, but the Archives may refuse any donation in which it deems the conditions of use overly restrictive.
Donors may make arrangements to examine the material they have donated and can be given a copy of any inventories, finding aids, or other research materials produced by the Archives about the donated material.
Emerson College is a nonprofit organization and has been granted tax-exempt status by the IRS. Donations may qualify as tax-deductible. This, however, does not permit the archivist to appraise gifts. Under IRS regulations, no library, archive, or museum can perform an appraisal. A list of qualified appraisers will be provided upon request.
The Emerson College Archives does NOT collect:
- Materials that are irreparably damaged or infested by insects or mold.
- Materials in which the donor's ownership is in question or disputed.
- Duplicate materials will not be accepted due to lack of space.
- Collections that contain materials that do not fit within the scope of the Emerson College Archives.
- Partial collections.
- Photocopies of materials donated to another repository.
- Collections for which the Archives is unable to provide sufficient support to preserve and provide access to archival records.
- Collections for which the Archives is unable to provide suitable space, staffing, supplies, and equipment. While the lack of one or more of these does not constitute a compelling reason for refusing archives and manuscripts, deficiency in one or more may constitute grounds for a temporary delay in their acquisition. During periods of severe deficiency in any of these areas, the Archives will give priority to new accessions of internal records whenever possible.
- The Archives will not accept permanent loans of materials and will not assume liability for materials not owned by Emerson College.
Cooperative Agreement
The Emerson College Archives will not collect material that is related to a specific person or institution that is already comprehensively covered by another archival institution.
Guidelines Review
The Emerson College Archives Collecting Policy will be reviewed and evaluated every 5 years to ensure that the mission of the Archives is being met.

The one major gripe that lots of people have about iOS is its notifications system. If you get a text or an app pings you or you're low on battery, it takes over the entire screen and forcefully pauses whatever you're doing. But a new hire hints that there may be changes in the works.
Peter Hajas is a developer who wrote MobileNotifier, an overhaul of the iOS notification system that works on jailbroken phones. And guess where he's working now? Yep, Apple.
MobileNotifier is a slick and elegant solution to the notifications issue. You can see how it works in the video below. While it may not be exactly what we'll be seeing next week with the reveals of iOS 5, it at least shows that Apple is seeking out people with fresh ideas on how to overhaul it.

What are the key differences between Crossbows and Longbows? I'm playing a ranger, but I'm relatively new to D&D, and all my friends have differing opinions on it.
For example, Friend A states that Crossbows take an entire turn to reload, while Friend B tells me that it only uses up a move action.
I'm also confused about the meaning of "takes 2 hands to reload." Can someone clarify the differences between the two weapons?

Legend of the Rooster
Legend states that the only time the rooster crowed at midnight was the night that Jesus was born. In Spanish and Latin American countries, "Misa del Gallo," the Mass of the Rooster, is celebrated at midnight on Christmas Eve. The crowing of the rooster at the dawn of each morning symbolizes the daily triumph of light over darkness and the victory of good over evil.

FAYETTEVILLE — Offensive lineman Reeve Koehler isn't exactly prepared for the winter in Northwest Arkansas. And for good reason.
The 2013 Arkansas signee is from Hawaii, where winter temperatures aren't any different from summer, spring or fall. So it was no surprise when Koehler first arrived in Arkansas this spring he posed a question on his Twitter page: where could he find winter clothes that fit a 6-foot-3, 325-pound offensive lineman?
"Everywhere I go, there's either not my size or it's too big," said Koehler, whose only winter clothes were a couple of sweatshirts he received from playing in high school all-star games. "I'm in that in between stage where I really can't find any clothes."
Koehler, of course, won't need to worry about it for several months with the summer heat now in full force. But the search is a sign of the Honolulu native's adjustment to new surroundings, which the rest of Arkansas' 2013 signees have been going through as well the past few weeks.
Nearly every member of the group has spent a portion - if not all – of the summer taking classes on campus, getting to know new teammates and participating in Arkansas' offseason strength and conditioning programs.
Koehler happens to the be the player who traveled the furthest, leaving his native Hawaii for Arkansas one day after participating in his high school's graduation ceremonies. He and most of the class are now in the middle of their second full month on campus. Koehler said every experience has been valuable as he prepares to compete for playing time as a true freshman in August.
"It's helping me adjust," Koehler said. "Right now, I'm just taking baby steps."
Arriving early is no longer a new practice in college football, which has become a 24-7 job for athletes. Arkansas welcomed four junior college transfers to campus last spring (TQ Coleman, Johnathan McClure, Myke Tavarres and Carroll Washington) and newcomers are on college campuses around the country this summer.
There's no doubt Arkansas' class can use the head start, too, with several players expected to get early opportunities to play a role in the program's success this season. The 2013 signing carries the distinction of being the first at Arkansas under Bret Bielema and former Pulaski Academy tight end Hunter Henry said the group doesn't carry the tag lightly as it works through the summer.
"It's a big honor," said Henry, who is one of eight Arkansas signees who played high school football in the state. "It's awesome to kind of come in as his first and as the years go on, look back to us as his first class at Arkansas.
"So we definitely have to come in and contribute and make a difference here."
It's the same attitude former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino's first signing class carried into the 2008 season. While Arkansas failed to reach a bowl game that year, the class eventually proved to be one of the most influential and produced players like Tyler Wilson, Jarius Wright, Joe Adams, Greg Childs and Chris Gragg.
Koehler said the 2013 class is eager to start another era at Arkansas.
"It's definitely special," Koehler said. "I feel like there's an urgency on us to do good in the classroom. Do good in the community and then do good on the field."
Koehler is keeping things in perspective, though. There are good and bad days.
For starters: Koehler admitted to walking to the wrong end of campus on his first day of class. Adjusting to college courses — after finding where they are — has been challenging as well. Koehler also said his first week in the weight room was a breeze, but things got much more difficult when the third week rolled around in mid-June.
"Some days we feel like, 'Yeah, we can start,'" Koehler said. "Then some days we have a bad workout and we're like, 'OK, we've got to put in more work to start.'
"So it has its ups and downs like a roller coaster."
Arkansas' coaches aren't permitted to work with players in the summer, but strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert has put them through rigorous workouts. Henry agrees it has been challenging, but the work will pay off.
So will the chance to run with veterans in seven-on-seven and other player-led drills. Koehler — who will line up at guard/center — said he's been learning how to play center with Rimington Trophy candidate Travis Swanson's help. Henry said he has a much better grasp of the playbook after running routes on the field.
"At first I would just look at words and look at just lines," Henry said of his first glance at the playbook. "But as I've gotten out and kind of run stuff and gotten out and run against defense and run it with the team, it's not that hard to pick up."
Bielema described the adjustment period for the newcomers as a "steady one" last month. He hasn't had much interaction with players, but said there was one instance that helped him see they're getting acclimated to being high-profile college students.
He asked a few to make an appearance at an Arkansas football camp for elementary school children earlier this summer. Bielema described it was a big success.
"We asked our guys if they could just say hello and have an autograph session just to see their personalities come out," Bielema said. "I think they did a couple of touchdown dances. Some of them, I hope, don't ever score. …
"I tell all of our coaches, you know, the one thing that is bad about the NCAA rules that exist now is, here you recruit these kids, you spend all this time, all this energy, all this effort to get them here. And then once we get them here we can't really be around them. … That's why it's tremendous to build a relationship with those guys."
It won't be long until coaches and newcomers will be on the practice field together.
Henry and Koehler said they're looking forward to it. It has been a long summer for Arkansas' 2013 signees, but important as they prepare for college football.
"I can't wait," Koehler said. "Ever since week one, it's been 'When can I play football again?'"

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (16-11-4, 52 points, West #2) will take on the L.A. Galaxy (15-11-5, 50 points, West #3) in a match teeming with playoff implications on Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Home Depot Center in Southern California. The game – which will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. MT – will be broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network as well as on ESPN700AM and La Gran D 102.3FM/Juan 1600AM.
NBC Sports Network will air the RSL captain Kyle Beckerman episode of MLS 36 – the fifth and final installment of the acclaimed behind-the-scenes profile series of MLS' top players – immediately following the game.
RSL – which has just three regular season games remaining – heads into Saturday's match on a roll, winners of its last three matches and 5-1-1 in its last seven across all competitions. The Claret-and-Cobalt – which has allowed just two goals in the last 630 minutes in MLS and CCL play – put the hurt on Chivas USA last Saturday, getting a hat trick from star FW Álvaro Saborío to beat the Goats 4-0 at the Home Depot Center.
Head coach Jason Kreis and co. currently sit in second-place in the Western Conference, two points up on the third-place Galaxy and ahead of fourth-place Seattle Sounders FC – which has a game in hand on both RSL and L.A. – by three points. Both Real Salt Lake and L.A. will play Seattle before the end of the season; RSL will take on the Sounders at CenturyLink Field on Oct. 17.
Real Salt Lake will want to hang onto its spot in the Western Conference's top-three, as the fourth-seed will have to play a one-off knockout game against the West's fifth-seed to advance to the Conference Semifinals against the top-seed. Playing in the elimination game would force RSL to play seven games in 24 days from Oct. 23-Nov. 17 in order to advance to the MLS Cup Final.
The Claret-and-Cobalt is 1-1-0 against L.A. this year, defeating the Galaxy 3-1 at the Home Depot Center in the season opener on March 10 and giving up a two-goal lead to fall to L.A. 3-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 20. RSL will be looking to extend its perfect 2012 record at the Home Depot Center on Saturday, having gone 3-0-0 – two wins over Chivas, one over L.A. – and outscoring the opposition 10-1 in games at the Carson, Calif. facility this season.
RSL has a bit of a break following Saturday's game, not playing again until the Oct. 17 match at Seattle. The Claret-and-Cobalt will follow that match up with a must-win CONCACAF Champions League Group 2 game against Costa Rican champs C.S. Herediano at home on Oct. 23.
How to Follow Real Salt Lake at L.A. Galaxy

RSL History v. L.A.

European and Asian leaders attending the 9th Asia-Europe Meeting Summit of Heads of State and Government (ASEM9) in Vientiane next week should raise their concerns regarding persistent reports of human rights violations in Laos, said the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and its member organization, the Lao Movement for Human Rights (MLDH). FIDH and MLDH today published a 16-page briefing paper prepared for the ASEM9.
Laos has ratified a number of important human rights treaties, including the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, but has repeatedly violated provisions of these treaties. The FIDH-MLDH briefing paper highlighted over a dozen cases of violations of freedom of expression, assembly and association, freedom of religion, and the rights of ethnic minorities.
Violations of land and housing rights are on the rise. ASEM9 is overshadowed by allegations of the forced evictions of 300 families from a small island in the Mekong in Vientiane to make way for houses built by a Chinese company and Chinese workers to accommodate the foreign leaders who will attend the summit, said FIDH and MLDH. The 9th ASEM Summit will take place from 5-6 November and brings together high-level officials from 46 European and Asia-Pacific countries [1]. , as well as the European Commission and ASEAN Secretariat.
"World leaders should not just fly into Laos for a few talk shops behind heavily guarded high-end hotels, and then leave. For far too long human rights violations in Laos have gone under-reported and overlooked by the international community, and the ASEM Summit provides a unique opportunity for global leaders to ask Laos to take concrete steps to improve its human rights records, including to free all those who have been imprisoned for peacefully exercising their fundamental freedoms," said Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH President.
FIDH and MLDH are deeply concerned about the arbitrary arrests and apparent enforced disappearances of dissidents and peaceful protesters, and raised 17 cases in the briefing paper. The whereabouts of four peaceful protesters arrested in October 1999 remain unknown. The Laotian government told a visiting European Parliament (EP) delegation in 2007 that they had been released in 2006. However, families of these political prisoners confirmed that the prisoners have not come home. The authorities refused the EP delegation's request to meet with these prisoners.
Similarly, nine individuals were arrested in November 2009 in various provinces on their way to Vientiane to participate in a peaceful protest. The government has denied it has ever arrested them. The case of Mrs Kingkeo, one of the nine arrested, has been submitted to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which has forwarded the case to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances following the government's denial of her arrest.
FIDH and MLDH are also gravely concerned about the situation of the 4,700 Hmongs forcibly repatriated by Thai authorities back to Laos at the end of 2009, including 158 who, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), had already obtained refugee status before being forced back to Laos. The 2011 Human Rights Report of the European Union, published in September 2011, claimed that all of these 158 cases were solved in 2010 by "their discrete departure to receiving countries". MLDH and FIDH are not aware of any reports that indicate that the European Union had received credible evidence substantiating this claim.
"All European and Asian states, especially donor countries, must place human rights at the center of their bilateral relations with Laos and use the full range of instruments, both economic and political, at their disposal to concretely bring about improvement in the human rights situation in Laos," said Vanida Thephsouvah, MLDH president. "At a minimum, these countries should make sure their trade, investment and development assistance to Laos are fully consistent with international human rights standards, with robust safeguards to anticipate, prevent and redress adverse human rights impact," added Mrs. Thephsouvah.

LONDON — The teenage girl disappeared in 1926. But a deathbed confession supposedly made decades ago has led detectives to open what might be one of Britain's oldest-ever cold case reviews.
Emma Alice Smith was 16 when she disappeared while cycling between her home and a nearby railway station. Her disappearance has been unsolved — and her body has remained missing — ever since.
But that could soon change: David Wright, the teenager's great-nephew, said Wednesday that he had at last told police about the confession, the existence of which had long been a family secret.
Wright said his mother told him that in the 1950s, a man whose identity has not been revealed claimed responsibility for the teenager's death, but the confession was never made public. Police were not told at the time, either.
Wright's mother was told about the confession by her aunt — Emma Alice's sister Lily — who died in 1995.
"A gentleman, on his deathbed sometime in 1952 to 1953, had confessed to killing her sister. But she felt she was unable to bring it to light because her own father had just passed away," Wright said. "It was also a very small community and to make an accusation like that would have been scandalous in those days.
"Those sorts of things were hushed up or brushed under the carpet."
Breaking the silence
In December 2007, Wright broke the silence and went to police in Sussex, asking them to look into his great-aunt's disappearance. Last month, they said they planned to reopen the case.
"I was very, very surprised when they said they would investigate it. I didn't think anyone would be interested," he said.
Emma Alice had worked as a servant in a large house near her home in the village of Waldron, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) south of London. She was the second of eight children; Wright's grandfather was her older brother.
Police said they want to find Emma's body for her family's sake rather than to make an arrest.
"The family are keen to trace the body of Emma, if that is possible, in order that she can be given a proper burial and laid to rest with her close family," said Detective Chief Inspector Trevor Bowles, of the Sussex Police Major Crime Branch. "A number of local people have already assisted us and have been able to fill in some of the many gaps which exist.
"Given the years which have passed, this is inevitably a difficult task."
Detectives are fitting the cold case investigation around their existing caseload, Detective Inspector Mike Ashcroft said.
He said officers, using maps of the time, have already identified the likely path Emma Alice would have taken, and they will begin searching the ponds along the 2.5 mile (4 kilometer) route between her home and the railway station.
Experts have assured the detectives that human remains will still be present, even after more than eight decades of decomposition. "I'm pretty certain that if there's a body in a pond, we'll find it," Ashcroft said.

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been moved to a Massachusetts prison facility from the hospital he has been held in for a week.
The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has been moved from the hospital to a federal prison 40 miles away that provides specialized medical care, the government said Friday.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was moved from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he has been held and interrogated since his capture last week, to the federal prison at Fort Devens, Mass., the Marshals Service said.
Elise Amendola / AP
Devens Federal Medical Center is seen in Devens, Mass., in 2011.
The prison's website describes it as a facility for men who need specialized or long-term medical or mental health care.
The most prominent inmate there is Raj Rajaratnam, who in 2011 was sentenced to 11 years in prison for insider trading. He has diabetes, and the prison has a dialysis center.
The prison is in a wooded setting on a military base that was decommissioned in 1996. Another inmate there is Sabri Benkahla, who is serving 10 years for lying to authorities about training with militants in Pakistan. Benkahla was accused of being part of an American group that trained with paintball guns. He is scheduled for release in 2016.
Roger Stockham, a Southern California man who was accused in January 2011 of plotting to blow up a mosque outside Detroit, served at Fort Devens and was released late last year. Stockham has a long criminal history that includes holding a psychiatrist hostage, kidnapping his son, trying to hijack a plane and threatening to kill the president.
A lawyer who has had clients sentenced to Fort Devens told The Hartford Courant in 2005 that the prison has an outdoor basketball court. Crafts, including woodworking and making leather goods, are popular, the lawyer told the newspaper — though it is not clear how restricted Tsarnaev will be.
At the time, a judge had recommended that John Rowland, a former Connecticut governor who pleaded guilty to a corruption charge, be assigned to Fort Devens. Instead he served about 10 months at a federal prison in Pennsylvania.
In 1918, during a flu pandemic that killed tens of millions of people around the world, there was a severe outbreak at what was then known as Camp Devens — a ghastly scene of piled up corpses and cots overflowing onto porches.
The outbreak came in the last days of World War I. According to an account published by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, men at Devens were so sick that their oxygen-deprived skin turned deep blue.
The decision on where to send federal inmates is made by the Bureau of Prisons, which does not generally disclose its reasons for assigning prisoners.
Boston police could be seen early Friday leaving the hospital, which has treated not just Tsarnaev but people injured in the marathon blasts April 15.
Tsarnaev, 19, was upgraded earlier this week to fair condition from serious. His injuries, including a gunshot wound to the head and neck that may have been self-inflicted, were so severe that he initially communicated with investigators by moving his head and in writing.
He also has injuries to the leg and hand, apparently from a firefight with police in suburban Watertown, Mass., on April 19 that played out about 12 hours before Tsarnaev was captured hiding in a boat parked in the driveway of a house.
New York authorities said Thursday that Tsarnaev had improved to the point that he could talk, and that in a second round of questioning he admitted that he and his brother decided on the run to carry out a second attack in Times Square. His brother, Tamerlan, was killed after the shootout.
Tsarnaev has been charged with federal crimes including conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction, and Attorney General Eric Holder could decide to seek the death penalty.
Tsarnaev has told investigators that he and his brother acted alone when they built and detonated two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon. Three people were killed in the attack and more than 200 injured.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators that the brothers were motivated by a desire to defend Islam after the American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In prison, experts have said, Tsarnaev will probably be subject to special administrative measures that could sharply curtail his contact with fellow prisoners and the outside world. Stephen Huggard, a former Boston federal prosecutor who worked on the Sept. 11 investigation, said Tsarnaev's parents, who are in Russia and have insisted he's being framed, may not be allowed to visit.
Heightened security, empty streets, and memorials mark the the days after the Boston Marathon bombings.
At a hospital court room hearing earlier this week, Tsarnaev showed little sign of fear or remorse and his heart monitor didn't register a blip when he was told he could be could be facing the death penalty, according to a source familiar with the events inside the room when he was read his rights.
The mother of the Tsarnaev brothers insisted Thursday that her sons are not responsible for the attack and said she did not see any aggression in the older brother, even when the FBI questioned him two years ago.
Speaking to reporters in Russia, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva also said the elder son, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, came to Russia for six months last year to attend a family wedding, visit relatives and later renew his Kyrgyzstan passport.
"America took my kids away from me," she said. "I'm sure my kids were not involved in anything."
U.S. investigators have said they want to know more about why Tamerlan Tsarnaev was in Russia. When he returned to the United States in July, he began posting radical Islamic videos to his YouTube account.
Matthew DeLuca of NBC News contributed to this report.

I want to be openminded about this, because I will eat pretty much anything. But the idea of adding a giant bag of Skittles to hot sausage seems as gross at that screengrab looks.
It's the brainchild of a Puyallup, Wash., butcher, and it's called—what else—"Beast Mode," after Marshawn Lynch's legendary love of Skittles. The meat is ground, the candy added at the same time as the spices, and it's shaped into links that thankfully are not rainbow colored.
But the store's patrons seem to like it, and mixing sweet and spicy in sausage can make some for tasty meat, so maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about here. Maybe it's goddamned delicious and we're all missing out. If anyone out there wants to take one for the team, let me know how it goes.
