BEING FEARLESS



At one time or another, we all have experienced fear - from low-grade anxiety to terror. Fear can inhibit, paralyze, and profoundly affect the quality of our lives. Though fear can assist in helping us identify our desires and needs, it can prove debilitating unless we are able to release it. Fear prevents us from fully being alive and living our dreams. To live in fear is to live without faith.

I have been teaching and practicing what I call 'an empowerment meditation'. We ask to be given light, love, peace and healing power. Light is, of course, enlightenment, wisdom, instinct, intuition and revelation. Love is not 'please love me, I'm feeling miserable and lonely', but rather, 'please fill me with love, so that I can create with love, instead of fear'. Peace is the perfect peace that 'passeth all understanding'. It is that peace in which there is absolutely no room for fear.

I had often wondered if I had ever reached that peace. It wasn't until the doctors in Chicago diagnosed me several years ago with Lupus, and all the tests and sickness I've endured since then .... that I realized that my mind did not shift gear, not even one cog. I did feel an overwhelming gratitude for this opportunity to show, with irrefutable proof, that the Spirit of God which is within all of us, when directed skillfully by the mind, triumphs over all. The physical and the non-physical. I pray that I am skilful enough.

When I have totally eradicated this illness from myself, I hope to start a school for the self-treatment of chronic illness, using proper, chemical free nutrition and mind-power.

So that I should have a mind free to concentrate on healing, I have made my funeral arrangements. This way, I have avoided having others worry about what should be done and I no longer have to think of such things. Death is such a beautiful thing. It is like taking off a straight-jacket and being liberated. It is only those who distrust and fear the Source of all life, consciousness and energy, who are frightened of the inevitable. The only sin in all the omniverse is ignorance. And what suffering it causes.

I choose to live without fear of life, death or love ....

What if ...

- Your feelings lie to you?
- Most of your thoughts and feelings come from fear?
- Most of your decisions are based on fear!


Being Fearless isn't about jumping out of planes, it's about jumping into life!

- Freedom from fear.
- Freedom from disappointment.
- Freedom from not enough.

Most people, no matter how confident they appear to be, often harbor paralyzing fears that overshadow their ability to live fearlessly. These fears are always whispering skeptical objections and feeding you doubts about anything that might shake up the status quo:

- Do you really think you should do that?
- Are you ready for a big step like this?
- Why don't you get somebody else's opinion?
- Are you sure you're not getting in over your head?
- What will people say?

Living without fear, takes you out of the lie and into the truth of your own unique magnificence. Stop beating yourself up and become more accountable; this will help build on your objective: Ultimate Integrity. Mastering fear does not imply you will never experience fear again. But rather, you win knowing what actions to take to move you from Fear at will, to Freedom.

Your Fear Is As Smart As You

Whether you know it or not, fear has developed your likes and dislikes, picked your friends, and raised your children. Learn how to recognize when fear is running your life and take steps to set yourself free.

Fearless Intentions: What were you expecting?

Expectations breed fear, disappointment and discontent. They are silent contracts that focus your attention on the outcome instead of the process with little satisfaction. turn expectations into intentions freeing you to live your life on purpose, with purpose and get results that matter.

Excuses Disempower You

Excuses ... excuse you from fulfilling your potential. They take away any sense of personal responsibility, accountability, or power, giving you permission to ignore your own values, beliefs, and commitments. Forgiveness is a process and we use it to accept, release and make peace with the people and circumstances that may have been keeping you up at night.

Complaining Advertises Your Fears

Complaining advertises your fears while keeping you stuck in the complaint. Increase your ability to see opportunities and possibilities by transforming your complaints into gratitude and acknowledgements.

It's often said that love is the only thing that is true and real and that love is all we need to focus on if what we desire is to heal any thing ... every thing. What is the opposite of love? Most people would instantly say "hate." But what is the foundation for hate? Fear. Fear is the foundation for all things that are not love. Fear is the opposite of love.

One thing that has been pointed out to me during my continued spiritual quest for understanding is that when one loves, one expects. Giving love seems to have a purely human need to receive something in return. Expectations. What is that we ultimately have when we have expectations? Fear. And fear is the opposite of love.

When we have expectations we are living with limitations. We are living in fear. We are saying ... there is only so much that I can give. I am limited. I need to receive in order to give. In addition we are saying ... if I do not receive, what I am giving has no value to the one who is receiving. What is the foundation for feeling that something you give has no value? Fear. Fear that you are not valuable, not worthy, not accepted, not loved in return or loved and recognized for what you are doing or giving. Another way of putting it ... I am giving but not receiving, therefore the Universe is limited and I must hang on to what I have for I may run out of energy (or time, or love, or whatever the case may be). In addition we are saying ... I am not receiving love therefore I will not give love. The basis for this comment, again, is fear.

How many judgments do we make before we offer love? How many expectations do we have once we offer love? Perhaps we don't expect anything from the person or thing directly, but do we expect something from the Universe? Some sign of "reward" for having thoughts of love and compassion and acceptance?

But love is a state of BE-ING. Love is a state of pure acceptance. No judgment, no expectation. Love is a state of pure acceptance. It can't be said too many times or in too many different ways. Many of us understand the concept perfectly. But most of us also continue to seek the understanding beneath the words and the concept. We are, after all, human and so it is that situations and events can shift our focus and change our state of being pure love. We can become upset, angry, confused, resentful, frustrated, and any number of other things. In other words, we give the true state of our be-ing away to the "reality" that is playing around us. Why is this case? And, more importantly, how do we learn to be unaffected by what happens to us and around us?

It seems to be a great and burdensome task to ask of ourselves.. To become pure love. To do so would be to live without judgment of things such as murder, abuse, poverty, and all of the other things we, as humans, think of as negative and bad. The argument against loving ALL things that humans create within their reality is strong and could be never-ending. But continuing the argument leaves us without the option to create new thought processes. If we continue to argue for the right to oppose the things we have labeled as "wrong," we continue to close the door on the answer to how we might be able, within this consensual reality, to put all things into Divine Alignment and restore order within what appears to be chaos.

Is it a judgment to believe that we must set things "right?' Or is it simply a matter of observation that all things and all people are an aspect of God and therefore should act and be treated accordingly? Is it possible that, even after all things return to the state of being divinely aligned with the original plan of God/Creator, such things as murder, abuse, poverty, and such things would still exist? Yes, it's quite possible. Why? Due to the fact that we, as scholars who are studying the process of Creation, must experience ALL things.

This is one of the greatest struggles that we, as aspiring Masters, have. To accept that all things in existence are presentations of God/Creation. One of the reasons, other than our sincere compassion and desire to see joy lived by all creatures, is that we believe all things should be treated with honor and respect and the recognition that all things are an aspect of God. Would we, if we saw a person as an aspect of God, slap, scream at, or other abuse that person? Probably not.

How then do we achieve a place of pure acceptance of the things that appear to be out of the realm of what God would want for us, for those who live within this reality? By realizing that, though there are things that do not seem "perfect" and in Divine Alignment, the events that transpire around us are "tools" that we create, as a society, in order to show ourselves and others ALL sides of existence. We must, as aspiring Masters, understand the cause and effect of all things within existence. We must, as aspiring Masters, understand balance, light vs. dark, positive vs. negative, and all other polarities that exist within the realm of existence.

Does it then become simply a matter of choosing the reality you wish to live? Absolutely.

THE ENEMY WITHIN




It seems to be a condition of life that there is always someone who is willing, even eager, to criticize us, to find fault with what we do, to confidently predict that disaster will be the result of our actions, to be eternally poised above our heads like a dark cloud, ready to dampen our enthusiasm and to say "I told you so."

Like many people, I had two general--and opposite--responses to such criticisms. Sometimes I decided that such critics were absolutely wrong. They were afraid to do anything original or creative; they dreaded taking risks so much that it frightened them to see anyone else plunging into the unknown. There was no reason why I should allow their neuroses and insecurities to affect me. If I from time to time found myself brooding over their criticism it was only because I still had a little work to do in the area of self-acceptance. I was working on that self-esteem muscle, and it was getting pretty powerful. One day I might use it to flatten my critics.

My alternate approach was to decide that my critics were absolutely right. I would immediately agree with any and all negative judgments. Those people, truly my friends and guide, were speaking with the voice of reason and common sense. I was the fool, sailing, rudderless, into the storm. I internalized their criticisms, making them bigger and more terrible than they were, using them to paint the self-portrait of a fault-ridden and relatively worthless individual. I sometimes became paralyzed; my creativity and ability to act ground to a standstill.

Through the Looking Glass

It's all too true that there are plenty of people out there whose own creativity and originality are blocked. Having lost the courage to act on their initiative, they are threatened when someone else acts out their own repressed fantasies of accomplishment. It's a mistake to allow ourselves to become paralyzed by their opinions. That, however, doesn't mean that we should ignore their presence in our lives.

If we review our lives we discover that these critics have always been with us. They may be the mother or father who told us that the important thing was to have a steady job, the teachers who pronounced us talentless, the people who warn us that a belief in the benevolence of the universe is criminally irresponsible.

We have all experienced an abundance of critics in our lives. My own lesson about the appearance of such unwelcome visitors is that they usually show up at times when I'm in high-risk phases of my life. If I'm worried about money people tell me how bad the economy is. When I contemplate significant changes I hear about people who gave up perfectly comfortable and secure lives for uncertain and ultimately ruinous futures. When I first started to talk about building a website a few people looked at me as I had told them that I was resettling on Mars.

That these criticisms and warnings perfectly mirrored my own unvoiced or unacknowledged doubts was no coincidence. Our thoughts have a magnetic energy, and the thoughts we don't allow into consciousness will make an extra effort to be heard, drawing to us the external voices of the Inner Critic we would rather ignore.


The Inner Critic comes into being when we stop listening to ourselves because we don't like what we're hearing. When we're working towards feeling positive about our lives it's all too easy to try to paper over our negative feelings with affirmations and other cheerful sentiments. The difficulty with doing this is that negative beliefs are just as much our creations as positive ones. Just as a certain, while having preferences for certain offspring, loves all of her/his children, problems though some of them may be, so we love our idea-children as our creations. When we try to punish the badly-behaved ones by ignoring them they clamor all the more loudly for our attention.

I have therefore adopted the practice of letting my inner critic speak. A typical conversation from my past went like this:

Me: I'd like to learn how to paint in watercolor.

Inner Critic: You? Remember your first day in kindergarten when you did finger-painting and you got most of the paint on your clothes? Do you really have nothing better to do with your money than to waste it on paper and paint? And brushes? Brushes are expensive. Besides, that's a really frivolous idea. Who told you life was supposed to be fun? You have more important things to do. You have a business to run, classes to give, people to counsel. How can you be so selfish as to consider doing something which is strictly for your own entertainment (since you know you'll never get anywhere with it)? Play now, pay later.

I now have a wealth of material with which to work. In tracing their origins I may remember the time I tried to paint a wastebasket with watercolors, and grade-school paintings which gave abstract art a bad name. I may also recall stories about hard-working ancestors who labored from dawn to dusk, sacrificing leisure, health, and lives in order to support their families.

From Inner Critic to Inner Counselor

If you decide to engage in your own dialogue with the Inner Critic, when you discover your own memories allow yourself to experience the emotions which accompany them. Then formulate the beliefs which created these experiences. Some examples from my own dialogue might include, "Artistic expression is a luxury I can't afford," "I'll only humiliate myself," and "If I don't work hard I'll be punished."

Then formulate the affirmations you want. Mine might be, "I have the talent to paint" or "If I enjoy it who cares about talent?" I have worked with the belief that life is hard work by consciously scheduling play time into my life (and by consciously dealing with whatever resistance comes up to experiencing play).

I've discovered that the more I allow my Inner Critic to speak and am open to hearing it the more the character of its communications change. As I got into the habit of dialogues with it I began to hear it say, "Remember that easel you were going to get? When are you going to order it? How about tomorrow?"

As I continue to converse with my Inner Critic its storehouse of opinions and complaints gradually empties out. No longer ignored or suppressed, it becomes the Inner Companion, Inner Counselor, my best friend who will always tell me the truth I'm now ready to hear.

How Much Radiation Does Your Phone Emit? (NYTIMES)


The technology news site CNET has compiled two interesting lists showing which cellphones give off the most and the least radiation.

In publishing the information, CNET editors note the data aren’t meant to imply that cellphone radiation poses a risk, nor is it meant to say that the phones are safe. As I recently reported in my Well column last week, the data on cellphone safety are mixed, although a few recent international studies have suggested a link with three types of brain tumors. The Food and Drug Administration also says there’s not enough information to determine conclusively whether cellphones are safe or unsafe.

The charts focus on the specific absorption rate, or SAR, of a cellphone, which is a way of measuring the quantity of radio frequency energy that is absorbed by the body, according to CNET.

For a phone to pass F.C.C. certification, that phone’s maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6 W/kg (watts per kilogram). In Europe, the level is capped at 2 W/kg, while Canada allows a maximum of 1.6 W/kg. The SAR level listed in our charts represents the highest SAR level with the phone next to the ear as tested by the F.C.C. Keep in mind that it is possible for the SAR level to vary between different transmission bands and that different testing bodies can obtain different results. Also, it’s possible for results to vary between different editions of the same phone (such as a handset that’s offered by multiple carriers).

Four Motorola phones top the list, with the V195s putting out the maximum 1.6 W/kg. The popular BlackBerry Curve 8330 rounds out the No. 5 spot. To see the full top 10 list, click here.

The list of lowest-radiation cellphones includes the LG KG800 and the Motorola Razr V3x, which put out 0.135 W/kg and 0.14 W/kg, respectively. To see all the lowest radiation phones, click here.

If you don’t see your phone on the list, the site includes lists of cellphones by brand name. My iPhone was listed under “other” brands, but I was interested to learn that its SAR number is 0.974.

SEX IN THE CITY


  1. It’s Okay to Be Single – This was perhaps the most important lesson that "Sex and the City" bestowed upon the world, particularly where women were concerned. Although singledom didn’t always bring happiness to the four main characters, the ladies sure made it look like fun 90 percent of the time.

    To be single means to be independent, and with a fairy tale-like Manhattan glittering in the background, the show made us all feel okay with the idea of being single. These women were not spinsters — they were cosmopolitan sexpots. Refreshing, indeed.

  2. Sex Can Be Healthy – Let’s face it: sex changed for us all when the AIDS virus started taking lives in the 1980s. Although we learned more about the disease and how it is contracted by the time we entered the 1990s, this association between sex and death still permeated the single community. With that came guilt for those who still enjoyed casual sex from time to time.

    Enter "Sex and the City" in 1998 and we all breathed a sigh of relief — people were still having sex! Safe sex, in all its full-frontal glory, was a huge part of the television series. Although this probably didn’t endear the show to religious fundamentalists, most people applauded its candor and a wiser, safer sexual revolution was born.

  3. Test the Waters Before Marriage – Who can forget Charlotte’s doomed marriage to the seemingly perfect Trey? After meeting what she thought was the perfect man, the ever-romantic Charlotte decided to wait until marriage to consummate their love, only to discover later that he couldn’t be intimate with her.

    Of course, some people still believe that sex before marriage is wrong. Those same people probably don’t watch "Sex and the City" for love lessons. Most of us need to test the waters before marriage, as intimacy is an integral part of a healthy relationship. Even if you plan to save sex for marriage, it’s important that you ask questions about your partner’s sexual health.

  4. You Can Score Outside of Your League – Never underestimate your ability to find love with someone who is seemingly "out of your league." Is someone you are interested in really good looking or in a higher socioeconomic class? This doesn’t mean you weren’t meant to be. Chances are, the idea that you aren’t good enough is just your skewed perception. Believe it or not, true love transcends superficiality.

    In a Season Three episode, Miranda begins dating a hot NYPD detective and subsequently ruins the relationship because she is so self-conscious about her own looks. Of course, he finds her very attractive, but her insecurity gets in the way of what could have been a great thing. Charlotte, on the other hand, learns that looks and WASPy status isn’t nearly as important as her love for second husband Harry.

  5. Don’t Change Who You Are – This is a constant theme throughout the show, which only supports the girl power vibe for which "Sex and the City" is so well known. Never lose yourself in a relationship in order to conform to the other person’s life or ideals. Carrie found herself changing for a few men in the show. Although Aidan was seemingly the perfect guy, he wasn’t perfect for her.

    One of the more hilarious episodes showed Aidan unsuccessfully introducing the great outdoors to Carrie, a concrete-loving New York City girl. Towards the end of the series, Carrie again found herself lost in a relationship with a man: Russian artist Aleksandr Petrovsky. After pushing her best girlfriends away and moving to Paris with Aleksandr, she soon found she was unhappy because she was living his life instead of her own.

  6. Your Friends are the Best Sounding Boards – Not only did "Sex and the City" teach us that being single was okay, it glorified the tight bonds between friends. The ladies on the show shared every detail of their romantic lives with each other. Not sure what to think of your current love interest? Your BFFs could impart some valued, third party opinions.

    Of course, not all of us listen to sound advice, which was the case many times on the show. Charlotte was warned that she was moving too fast with Trey, and how many times was Carrie reminded how difficult Mr. Big could be?

  7. Don’t Drag Out a Doomed Relationship – If the signs are there, don’t ignore them. Carrie found a very nice guy in Aidan, but she knew he wasn’t right for her. Still, she persevered, even sharing her coveted Manhattan apartment with him. Never mind her refusal to wear her engagement ring on her finger — when Aidan started messing with her apartment, we all knew there was trouble.

    Of course, the most painful attempt to "make it work" on the show was poor Charlotte and her unwavering devotion to Trey. Yep, a grown man who bathes with his intrusive mother in the room is probably one to avoid. Still, Charlotte agonized as she tried to be the perfect wife in an imperfect relationship.

  8. Learn to Accept the Other Person’s Disinterest – One of the most memorable phrases ever uttered throughout the series was "he’s just not that into you." In fact, this even spawned a hit book and an upcoming film. After a flirty Miranda asks a date to come upstairs to her apartment, she is bewildered when the guy blows her off. How could he possibly decline what was a thinly veiled invitation for sex?

    Carrie’s boyfriend Berger informs Miranda that, "he’s just not that into you." Sometimes, it is as simple as that: he or she just isn’t into you and you need to move on. Don’t overanalyze it — just simply find someone who is into you. Yes, it might hurt your ego a little bit, but Miranda didn’t let it bother her that much. In fact, the always-logical lawyer reveled in its simplicity.

  9. Stop Waiting for Perfection – Are you looking for that fairy tale romance? Do you believe in that one true soul mate who will enter your life in cinematic bravado? Then wake up now and realize that perfection rarely exists. Relationships are messy and loud — even the good ones. You really do have to work at it.

    Charlotte was almost childlike in her expectations of a "perfect" relationship. This would result in a lot of disappointment. Likewise, Carrie and Mr. Big would experience a cavalcade of break ups before they finally realized that they loved each other despite the fact that their relationship was far from perfect.

  10. Opposites Can Attract – This isn’t just about someone who is out of your league, but someone who is your complete opposite. Although you may be looking for love in someone similar to yourself, you just might your soul mate in a person who is totally different.

    Would the work-obsessed and overly responsible Miranda ever dream she would marry a childish bartender? Surprisingly, it actually worked once she finally accepted that opposites really do attract, and can work to balance each other.

CELEBRITIES HOOK-UPS THAT SLIP UNNOTICED

Because even people who don’t care about celebrities know every detail about Brangelina’s twins and Lindsay and Britney’s breakdowns, it’s hard to believe that any Hollywood romance could slip by unnoticed. There was, however, a time before the Internet and the paparazzi documented each misstep celebrities took, and it’s easy to forget the random hookups from the 80s and 90s. Some celebrity couples were so short lived, and even though they hooked up at a time when bloggers and tabloids are still on top of their game, those couples got lost in the hoopla surrounding Paris Hilton’s jail sentence, Jessica’s jinxing the Dallas Cowboys or some other celebrity scandal. To honor the pure randomness and scariness of these surprising couples, we’ve dug up our favorites from the Hollywood past.

  1. Sheryl Crow and Owen Wilson: We thought the only thing Sheryl Crow and Owen Wilson had in common was Kate Hudson, Owen’s ex who is now dating Sheryl’s ex, Lance Armstrong. As it turns out, Sheryl and Owen dated for three years, when Owen was just starting to make it in Hollywood with Shanghai Noon, Breakfast of Champions and Meet the Parents.
  2. Liam Neeson and Jennifer Grey: Liam Neeson dated Jennifer Grey?! We’ve always associated Liam Neeson as the kindly upstanding citizen and father figure from movies like Schindler’s List, Star Wars, Michael Collins and other major movies. While we thought Jennifer Grey was fantastic in Dirty Dancing and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, we didn’t think the two were in the same league.
  3. Moby and Natalie Portman: Moby and Natalie Portman are both thoughtful vegans, but we’re still a little bit confused. Moby acknowledges that it was "a very brief affair," but is vague about when he and Queen Amidala hung out.
  4. George Clooney and Lucy Liu: If poor Lucy Liu got as much paparazzi credit when she dated George as current flame Sarah Larson does, she probably wouldn’t be on this list. George and Lucy were definitely a beautiful couple when they dated in 2000 and made out in 2006, but they certainly didn’t get the attention they deserved.
  5. Drew Barrymore and David Arquette: Before David found Courteney, he hooked up with then-still-a-little-too-wild Drew Barrymore. They’re both cute and kooky, but let’s not forget that they also played brother and sister in 1999’s Never Been Kissed.
  6. Brad Pitt and Christina Applegate: Back in the 80s and 90s, Brad Pitt dated Gwyneth, Juliette Lewis and…Christina Applegate? Christina was super hot stuff back then on Married With Children, but can a TV star really hold her own with a gorgeous movie star like Brad Pitt? Let’s rephrase that. Can a TV star hold her own against Brad Pitt if they aren’t at least Friends first? Since Christina and Brad only dated for a brief stint in 1988, we think not.
  7. Kimberly Stewart and Tommy Lee: Everyone knows Tommy Lee likes pretty blondes, and it’s probably only natural for Kimberly Stewart to go after rocker dudes, since her dad is Rod Stewart. What makes this story so weird is the fact that Rachel Hunter, Kimberly’s ex step-mom, also dated Tommy Lee. Kimberly and Tommy Lee briefly hooked up in 2007, when Tommy Lee was 44 and Kimberly was 26.
  8. Keaunu Reeves and Diane Keaton: Keanu Reeves and Diane Keaton were co-stars in the 2003 movie Something’s Gotta Give, but they started dating in 2005, when Keanu was 40 and Diane was 59. Does Diane still get to be a cougar if her beau is also nearing middle age?
  9. Reese Witherspoon and Stephen Dorff: This couple is one of the most bizarre items on our list. When Reese Witherspoon and Stephen Dorff dated in 1994, they were both young and blonde. In 2008, they still don’t have much more than that in common. Reese is one of the highest paid and most successful actresses in Hollywood, and Stephen Dorff is…sort of hot, but a major washout.
  10. Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong: It’s true that Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen’s 2007 hookup was documented in the tabloids, but it was so short lived that you may have missed it. Plus, it’s just weird. Lance is 15 years older than the former Full House shorty, which is still a pretty hefty age difference if you’re only 21. And what could the two possibly have had to talk about? Lance is a seven-time Tour de France winner, a cancer survivor and random BFFs with Matthew McConaughey and Owen Wilson. Ashley? Well she’s cute, fashionable and a multimillionaire. We guess it could work.

THE KEY TO LIFE ACCORT TO WILL SMITH

Will’s and DJ Jazzy Jeff produced their first Grammy-winning album and became millionaires in their teens. Will purchased a home, cars, jewelry and by 1990 his spending nearly landed him in a position next to MC Hammer…bankrupt.

Will met the mastermind behind The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Benny Medina. Will used the success of the show to propel himself into acting, appearing in Bad Boys (1995), Independence Day (1996) and Men In Black (1997). Gainfully employed ever year since the turn of the century, starring in Ali (2002), I Robot (2004) and recently I Am Legend (2007).

According to Forbes, Will Smith is one of Hollywood’s best investments with his movies grossing an average of $10 for each $1 he is paid.

How Did He Do It? Here’s a video of Will Smith explaining the key to life, he breaks it down for us and makes it very simple; primarily because I think he is talking to children at the Nickelodeon Choice Awards.




Reading. There are two ways of learning a new skill: study & practice. Practice takes much longer and often results in your starting at the wrong point:

When I started in movies, I said, “I want to be the biggest movie star in the world.” The biggest movie stars make the biggest movies, so I looked at the top 10 movies of all time. At that point, they were all special-effects movies. So Independence Day, no-brainer. Men in Black, no-brainer. I, Robot, no-brainer. - Will Smith

Follow those that you want to be like, read about them and learn from their mistakes.

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
-
Sir Isaac Newton

Find the information you need to begin your business journey, start listening to podcasts, following blogs attending events and very quickly you will find that you are an expert on the subject.

Running. I have replaced running with strength and fitness training but we are all too familiar with that voice Will talks about. It’s the voice in your head that tells you:

  • That hottie is way out of your league
  • Don’t start a business, you will fail
  • Don’t get out of bed to workout at 4am, it’s too early

Will Smith was interviewed by Jonathon Ross earlier in the year, you can see part 1 here and part 2 here. Jonathan was talking to Will about his singing career and asked him if he missed it or was it just a sideline for him.

Will replied:

“I realise that to have the level of success that I want to have it is difficult to spread it out and do multiple things in order to be world class, and I made a decision that I want to be world class it takes a such a desperate obsessive focus to excel on a level that I want to have”.

He then went on to say:

“… you really have to focus with all of your fibre and all of your heart and all of your creativity…”

Success will make you more successful. By realising your goals in martial arts, business, sprinting, academia, cookery, you will quickly appreciate what you are capable of when you apply Will’s focus.

THE WHOLE INTERNET IS AT STAKE


Comcast, the AP determined, actively manages data on its network by using software to essentially masquerade as its subscribers' machines. When non-Comcast Internet subscribers request files from your Comcast-connected machine -- as happens in peer-to-peer file-sharing applications -- Comcast's technology steps in and tells the non-Comcast subscriber you're not available.

This is a difficult story to explain, but it's quite important. For years, consumer advocates have been demanding that Congress and/or the Federal Communications Commission impose "network neutrality" regulations that would force broadband providers (like Comcast) to treat all data on a network equally. Lawmakers have so far failed to do so.

Broadband providers, meanwhile, insist that they do treat all traffic equally, but they reserve the right to use certain technologies to "manage" data on their network. The Comcast plan suggests that broadband providers mean something very broad by "traffic management" -- including, it appears, purposefully stepping into your network sessions to shut them down.

Excellent. Some of the traffic targeted could be illegal file-sharing, but it's also things like highly legal voice over Internet phone service, like Skype, or TV like Joost, or basically any BitTorrent download. Want to get that movie from Netflix to watch on your laptop on your next flight? Only if Comcast decides to let you do it.

Case in point: To test how Comcast is managing traffic, AP reporters tried to download a version of the King James Bible using BitTorrent. The Bible, of course, is perfectly legal to trade; indeed, some people might say that putting the good book up for others to download is a blessed thing.

But when AP reporters tried to download the Bible from Comcast subscribers in Philadelphia and San Francisco, they found that the connections were either blocked outright or delayed. (Downloads from other providers worked fine.)

Oh, and btw, Comcast isn't telling you, or the non-Comcast ISPs trying to communicate with it, or anybody else that they're doing this: "We rarely disclose our vendors or our processes for operating our network for competitive reasons and to protect against network abuse."

As the post author--Salon's Farhad Manjoo--points out, it's probably not just Comcast that's doing this, so while canceling your Comcast subscription might be satisfying, your replacement ISP might be doing the same thing. Manjoo is also completely correct in pointing out that what we need is a law. You guessed it, Net Neutrality.

I think all the cable companies are in a hurry to blame super users in order to put the squash on companies like netflix and hulu. If you control the pipes, you control the content distribution. The last thing these cable companies want is to provide internet access while the consumer goes to the open market to download content such as movies and programs.

From Yahoo!:

Time Warner Cable had said in January that it was planning to conduct the trial in Beaumont, but did not give any details. On Monday, Leddy said its tiers will range from $29.95 a month for relatively slow service at 768 kilobits per second and a 5-gigabyte monthly cap to $54.90 per month for fast downloads at 15 megabits per second and a 40-gigabyte cap. Those prices cover the Internet portion of subscription bundles that include video or phone services. Both downloads and uploads will count toward the monthly cap.

A possible stumbling block for Time Warner Cable is that customers have had little reason so far to pay attention to how much they download from the Internet, or know much traffic makes up a gigabyte. That uncertainty could scare off new subscribers.

Those who mainly do Web surfing or e-mail have little reason to pay attention to the traffic caps: a gigabyte is about 3,000 Web pages, or 15,000 e-mails without attachments. But those who download movies or TV shows will want to pay attention. A standard-definition movie can take up 1.5 gigabytes, and a high-definition movie can be 6 to 8 gigabytes.

Time Warner Cable subscribers will be able to check out their data consumption on a "gas gauge" on the company's Web page.

The company won't apply the gigabyte surcharges for the first two months. It has 90,000 customers in the trial area, but only new subscribers will be part of the trial.
