I chuckle everytime I think about Chef Dean Fearing's tongue in cheek description of one of his spot-on delicious, new finishing sauces: Called "D1". "It's better than A1!" quips the legendary father of Southwestern Cuisine as he glazes a pan roasted chicken breast with the sauce (it and a campanion line of finishing sauces are available at all Central Market locations in Texas and through the Fearing's website). It's a comparison that might be applied to the cuisine created by the famous and affable chef: flavors better than the standard brands; with high quality food that appeals to a wide variety of tastes without becoming mainstream mediocre. Dean is riding high into his 12th year of operation of namesake Fearing's in the plush Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Dallas, and is sanguine about his legacy from the Mansion on Turtle Creek years, and those heady "Gang of Five" days in the 80's when he, Robert Del Grande, Stephan Pyles, Anne Lindsey Greer (Anne McCann), and Avner Samuel banded together to rustle up some larrapin Southwestern style grub. Check out our conversation with one of the most likeable people you'll ever meet on the latest edition of "Wining and Dining with Jim White". You can also see Dean prepare the aforementioned pan roasted chicken breast when you visit the VOKAL site ("KISS Cooking-keep it simple and straightforward"). Welcome to the program devoted to introducing you to the people behind the flavors you love. Watch or listen on VOKALnow.com, YouTube, Vimeo, or iTunes.

Sure, Jennifer Lopez's 50th birthday was fancy as hell, complete with an extravagant party and a luxury car gifted by fiancé Alex Rodriguez. But the star isn't above a good deal, either. On Wednesday, while being presented with with the key to the city of Miami Beach, Lopez showed off a sleek, lime green House of CB set — which rings in at $224.
While that price tag isn't exactly cheap, it's affordable when you consider that much of J.Lo's wardrobe is designer and that her most famous dress came from Versace. Plus, since House of CB sells the pieces separately, there's also the opportunity to purchase either the $85 top or the $135 pants on their own. We'd style the off-the-shoulder bandeau with a pair of high-waisted jeans, while the trousers would look great with a silk cami or even a simple white T-shirt.
Between all the outfit possibilities and the affordability factor, it's near-impossible not to want to add to cart. However, if you're looking for a different and totally free way to steal J.Lo's style, we've also compiled a few of the best fashion lessons she's taught us over the years.

Drag your bedroom into the 21st century with technology that can help you sleep and even control your whole home from the comfort of your bed.
The bedroom is arguably the most important room in your house. It's where you sleep, where you retreat to on those cold days and where you feel most comfortable.
By using smart home technology you can finally elevate your bedroom to becoming that utopian sanctuary of comfort, laziness and above all happiness.
Getting every one of those 40 winks is vital for not just our health but also for setting us up to start the day right. A perfect night's sleep doesn't have to be something that only happens every now and then, instead technology can help find out what's causing us to toss and turn and then rectify it.
Fitness trackers like Fitbit's Alta HR can actually monitor your sleep in addition to all the other activity tracking they already do. They can break down your night's rest into light and heavy sleep and give you a clear picture of how you're sleeping. The Fitbit Alta will also give you advice on what could be causing your sleep troubles and provide remedies.
Whether you're living in a busy city, sleeping next to a snoring partner or just have to suffer a particularly vocal owl in the tree outside, noise can be a real hurdle in getting a good night's rest, but you can now get headphones to help.
The Bose Sleepbuds can actively mask some of the most distracting sounds including neighbours, traffic, snoring and more, by playing specially altered versions of relaxing soundscapes such as leaves rustling in the wind or a babbling brook.
Getting the day off to a good start can depend on those crucial first few minutes as your eyes adjust to the light and you drift back into the real world.
Rather than just being woken up with a loud noise, voice-controlled displays like Amazon's Echo Spot and the Google Home Hub can show you the day's weather, warning you of any travel issues, sharing your calendar and even reading the morning's headlines from the comfort of your bed.
Some smart displays and smart speakers even let you control other parts of your home such as the lighting or heating all by simply telling it to dim the lights or turn up the temperature.
Lighting is a vital component in not just getting a good night's sleep but in waking up in the best possible way. It's why we should avoid the blue light from smartphone screens in the evenings and embrace those warmer colours first thing in the morning.
Imagine, then, having the sunrise gently fill your room to wake you up naturally, even in the darkest depths of winter. Smart lights such as the Philips Hue Wellness lamp can do just that, gently bringing you back into the world by filling the room with a slowly increasing glow.
Each light can be controlled either by an app on your phone or through the smart displays like Amazon's Echo Show or the Google Home Hub.
A bedroom is that it should always be warm and welcoming. Smart heating systems like Nest and Hive give you the freedom to change the temperature from bed, either through an app on your phone or by simply telling your smart speaker. Don't blame us though when finally leaving you bed becomes that much harder.
Sometimes you can't beat bedding down and tackling a movie or an entire boxset from the comfort of your own bed.
Bringing Hollywood to your home has never been easier thanks to gadgets like Google's Chromecast Ultra which plugs into any TV and instantly gives you access to thousands of films and TV shows through apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video and BT TV.
It's very simple to setup - you simply plug it into the HDMI port on your TV, install the Google Home app on your phone or tablet, link the two using the app and you're good to go.
Rather than making do with the sound from your old alarm clock, smart speakers like the Sonos One pair a minimalist bedside-friendly design with the convenience of Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. Simply ask for a song and as long as you've got a music streaming service like Spotify, the speaker will play your tune of choice.
In addition these speakers can play thousands of radio stations and even control parts of your house including the lighting and heating.
Your bedroom is a statement about you: speakers like Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound 1 give you all the smart features you would expect, including the Google Assistant, but house it within a stunning machined aluminium body, making it the perfect choice for people who want aesthetics that match functionality.
Bookworms may find an ever-increasing pile of books building up by the side of the bed. Save space and paper, and enjoy a less cluttered, more minimalist bedroom, with an eReader which puts an entire library of books in the palm of your hand at the press of a button.
The latest eReaders like the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite or Kobo Forma are incredibly thin and light and come with backlit displays (or the Kobo's ComfortLight feature) so you can read comfortably in the dark. They come with a battery that lasts weeks instead of days and they have enough storage to give you a library of thousands of books.
Ever gone out and worried that you've left the lights on or your straighteners plugged in? It's something that many of us do.
Smart home gadgets can take the weight off your mind. Rather than worrying all day, smart plugs like the Hive Active Plug that are connected to wi-fi let you see if you've left them on and then, with the press of a button on your phone, turn them off no wherever you are in the world. They're perfect for reassuring those sudden panics and can work around the rest of the home too.
Finally, our smartphones have become an intrinsic part of our lives, however they still come with those little annoyances. You get home, it's dark and you're fumbling around on the floor trying to find the charging cable for your phone. There is a better way: wireless charging.
If you have a compatible smartphone* wireless chargers like Anker's Powerwave offer a simple and easy way to charge your phone. All you do is place your phone on the pad and that's it.
Some chargers even go a step further, with Google's Pixel Stand turning your Google Pixel phone into a Google Assistant smart speaker while it's being charged.

Making a sustainable difference from day one
Maiah Caise
My name is Maiah Caise. I am currently a junior studying Agricultural & Biological Engineering with a minor in the Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Fellows Program. I am originally from Bourbonnais, Illinois.
As a child growing up on the farm, it was easy for me to develop a passion for the environment, and I fell in love with science and the outdoors. While growing older, I became more exposed to what was happening in the world around me. I found out that this place that I adore, the place we all call home, wasn't being taken care of, and we were doing more damage than good. It was devastating and from that moment I knew I wanted to be a part of something that innovated how we utilize the nature around us so that we can ensure a sustainable future. However, throughout my younger years, I did not have the opportunity to be a part of any sustainability initiatives, and most of my learning on this topic was a result of my own efforts to educate myself on the impact that we have on our world. The lack of local sustainability discussions or movements led me to believe that I would not be able to have an impact in the environmental community until after being educated or having work experience. Coming to the University of Illinois was an abrupt change to the ways of thinking. I was overwhelmed by the number of opportunities that were available and amazed by the work that has been done to make our campus more sustainable. As children, we were often sheltered from what was going on, the actions that were determining our future on this earth. We were, and still are, often told that we are too young, or that we don't have enough experience to make an impact on bigger institutions. This mentality was ingrained into my mind, and as a freshman, I believed that I wouldn't be able to do anything until I graduated and had a career.
I wanted to prove naysayers wrong and show them that students do deserve to have a voice in determining the future of the earth we will be living on. My first effort to be a part of this sustainability movement was pursuing the position of Environmental Co-Chair for the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). In this position, I got a glimpse of the wide variety of actions that could be taken to develop a more sustainable campus. We had the opportunity to host Green Street Cleanings, sustainability workshops, and educational discussions about environmental topics.
I also came across many students who were interested in sustainability but were unaware of the opportunities for involvement. It became my purpose and passion to use my platform to share information on campus efforts to students. Being in this position also led me to be a part of the Student Sustainability Leadership Council, where I have been able to expand my efforts by working to increase communication amongst students and campus leadership. We were also able to host our campus' first Student Sustainability Summit throughout October 2021, which helped highlight the many opportunities for involvement in the sustainability community on campus. During this summit, some of the events we hosted were round-table discussions about various sustainability topics, a Green Quad Day to show the various environmental organizations on campus, and a research symposium to highlight sustainability research being done by students and faculty.
Green Quad Day
As a leader in this organization, it is my responsibility to represent the students of UIUC and express what our students want to see from our campus. My co-presidents and I all serve on different campus-wide committees that are determining the future of sustainability on campus. Before being a part of these committees, it was always easy to believe that young adults couldn't have an impact on larger institutions due to limited leadership and knowledge, but UIUC takes a different approach. Throughout various campus efforts, students act as an integral part of creating a better campus.
We are in a place where we are currently determining what our future on this earth is going to look like. No matter what age we are, we are all contributing to our collective future, and we can all have a beneficial impact. Being at the University of Illinois, we have an opportunity to be involved in a wide variety of sustainability initiatives. It is never too late to start being at the forefront of these actions, so take advantage of the opportunities we have available. We deserve to be at the table of important conversations about our future and sustainability, and we can start by having a voice on this campus.

Ex-Iraqi defence minister wanted over $1bn fraud
· Warrant issued after army left with old weapons
· Allawi regime blamed for lack of checks on ministry
Michael Howard in Baghdad
Mon 19 Sep 2005 19.04 EDT First published on Mon 19 Sep 2005 19.04 EDT
Iraqi authorities are preparing an arrest warrant for the country's former defence minister in connection with a massive fraud case involving the "disappearance" of more than $1bn from ministry coffers.
Judge Raid al-Radhi, who is head of Iraq's commission on public integrity, said yesterday that he had given Iraq's central criminal court a dossier of evidence against Hazim Shaalan, who was minister of defence under the former government of Ayed Allawi.
"What Shaalan and his ministry were responsible for is possibly the largest robbery in the world. Our estimates begin at $1.3bn [£720m] and go up to $2.3bn," Judge Radhi, who is Iraq's senior anti-corruption official, told Reuters.
The "robbery" is believed to include the signing of multimillion-dollar deals with companies to supply equipment that was sometimes inappropriate for the new army or was years out of date. It is also alleged that the ministry paid huge premiums for some military hardware.
Judge Radhi said he expected the court to issue warrants over the next week to 10 days for Mr Shaalan and for other senior defence ministry officials. The judge said he had passed the file of evidence on the case to Iraqi authorities two months ago.
Mr Shaalan, who is understood to be living in Jordan, has denied complicity in the scandal, saying that his actions as defence minister were ultimately the responsibility of the US authorities in Iraq.
News of the warrant came after the Iraqi finance minister, Ali Allawi, claimed in an interview with the Independent newspaper that $1bn had been stolen from the defence ministry.
Mr Allawi said the rampant corruption and fraud at the defence ministry had left the new Iraqi army with second-rate weapons with which to confront the insurgency. "Huge amounts of money have disappeared. In return we got nothing but scraps of metal," Mr Allawi said.
Ayed Allawi's government was in power from the end of June 2004 until late February this year. The new Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari has repeatedly complained about the legacy of administrative and financial corruption.
Judge Radhi said there was also evidence against the transport, trade, interior, public works and labour ministries, and that up to 50 officials could be brought to justice.
Allegations of corruption at the defence ministry have been swirling around Baghdad for some time, but the scale of the fraud has shocked many. A defence ministry source, who requested anonymity, told The Guardian yesterday that hundreds of millions of dollars had been wasted on unnecessary and overpriced equipment for Iraq's military.
"There appears to be no oversights and accountability in the procurement," he said. Investigators have been investigating weapons and equipment deals struck by the former procurement officer Ziad Cattan and other officials. The source said the most egregious case involved a $236m contract last December to equip the Iraqi army with helicopters and other material.
"The money was paid upfront to a Polish company before we'd even seen what we were buying. It was very fishy," he said. "The helicopters turned out to be years old and not up to the job we required them to do in Iraq." Another contract for US machine guns, at a cost of $3,500 each, bought Egyptian copies worth $200.
Judge Radhi said the ministry is alleged to have illegally signed contracts with intermediaries, rather than with foreign companies and governments, for the supply of defence equipment.
In other developments yesterday, the central Iraqi criminal court announced it had given a life sentence to a nephew of the former dictator Saddam Hussein, who was found guilty of funding the insurgency and bomb-making. Ayman Sabawi, the son of Saddam's half-brother Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, was arrested by Iraqi forces during a raid in May. His father, Al-Hassan, who served as a presidential adviser before the US-led invasion, was captured there two months earlier.
It was the first court decision against a family member of the former Iraqi ruler. The trial of Saddam is due to start on October 19.
Iraqi authorities had not announced that Sabawi's trial was under way but said he would face a second trial at the beginning of November for other, unspecified crimes to which he allegedly confessed during interrogation.
A government statement said the UN had indicated the Sabawi family stole "millions of dollars from the Iraqi people" under his uncle's rule.
Meanwhile, in the relatively calm southern city of Basra, journalist Fakher Haider was found shot dead yesterday morning after being abducted from his house by four masked men claiming to be intelligence officers. Mr Haider worked in Basra as a stringer for the New York Times and occasionally for The Guardian. He was the second journalist to be killed in Basra in recent months. The US journalist Steven Vincent and his Iraqi translator was kidnapped and shot by an unknown gang in early August.


As Christians we are commanded to "Go out into all the world..."; this includes our town, the surrounding area and to the whole world. As a church we support various organisations to help achieve this goal.
Locally we work with other churches in the town organise the annual Fun Day on the green at Woodley when local residents enjoy a diet of free food, inflatables and games. Last year a football cage, free Zumba and interactive balloon sculpting proved excellent new additions to the festivities. People still recovering from the idea of free barbecue food are equally surprised by the generosity of Romsey's Christians. The wonderful atmosphere means people glimpse a taste of the kingdom of heaven!
Since 1998 the church's music group has played in the Town's Beggars Fair, usually in warm sunshine on the church forecourt. In recent years the church has laid on other attractions such as cakes, face painting, etc.
The church also regularly supports the 'Church Tent' at Romsey Show and the Romsey Food Bank, as well as responding to other needs as they arise at home and overseas.
One of our major mission activities is our work with a Compassion UK project in Haiti – see our Compassion page for more information.
We also support the work of BMS World Mission: please see their live feed below.

Die Geschichte des Dorfes ist eng mit dem Deichbau in der Region Wiedingharde verbunden. Erstmals erwähnt wird Klanxbüll im Jahre 1231 mit einem Eintrag im Waldemar-Erdbuch. Hierin wird Klanxbüll als Teil der Horsbüllharde () (zu späteren Zeiten Wiedingharde) aufgeführt.

Um das Jahr 1240 wurde mit dem Bau einer Kirche begonnen. Das Gebäude, welches heute unter Denkmalschutz steht, ist die einzige reetgedeckte Kirche auf dem nordfriesischen Festland. Ihre Kanzel stammt aus dem bei der Zweiten Großen Mandränke 1634 untergegangenen Strander Kirchspiel Volgsbüll.

Auf Bombüllhof soll der berühmte Seeräuber Klaus Störtebeker der Sage nach ein Versteck gehabt haben, von dem aus angeblich ein Geheimgang durch den Deich hindurch zum Meer führte. Die Hofgeschichte geht allerdings nur bis in die Zeit um das Jahr 1550 zurück. Im August 2010 wurde das Hofgebäude durch ein Feuer zerstört. Lediglich die Warft, auf der das Haus stand, ist erhalten geblieben.

Um das Jahr 1400 herum wurde die Wiedingharde nach einer Sturmflut vom übrigen Festland getrennt und befand sich nunmehr auf einer Insel, die 1436 durch den Goldener Ring genannten Deich gesichert wurde. 1566 wurden neue Dämme und Deiche errichtet. Ein neuer Koog, der Gotteskoog, entstand und verband Klanxbüll und die nähere Umgebung wieder mit dem Festland. Da noch keine effektive Entwässerung existierte und es keine befestigten Wege gab, blieb der Gotteskoogsee jedoch auf Jahre Hauptverkehrsweg, ehe er im 20. Jahrhundert durch Trockenlegung fast gänzlich verschwand. Um 1700 führten Missstände und Kriege dazu, dass die Wiedingharde und somit auch das Dorf fast aufgegeben worden wäre, doch das 18. Jahrhundert brachte Aufschwung. Reiche Bauernstellen entstanden, deren stattliche Höfe wie z. B. der Charlottenhof noch heute erhalten sind.

Nach der Volksabstimmung in Schleswig kam dem Ort, auch bedingt durch seine Lage an der neuen Trasse der Marschbahnstrecke mit Errichtung der letzten Bahnstation auf dem Festland, eine gestiegene Bedeutung zuteil. Im Jahr 1927 wurde der Hindenburgdamm eingeweiht, der das nordfriesische Festland per Bahn mit der westlich vorgelagerte Insel Sylt verbindet. Am Bahnhof entstand nachfolgend der heutige Dorfkern um den Bahnhof.

Im Jahr 1967 verlor Klanxbüll nach Gründung einer Dörfergemeinschaftsschule in Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll die eigene Dorfschule.

Der Ortsname Klanxbüll geht vermutlich auf den Personennamen Klenke zurück. Die Endung -büll (bzw. -bøl, -bel) bedeutet im Dänischen und Friesischen etwa Wohnstätte oder Siedlung. Bombüll wurde erstmals 1634 erwähnt und geht vermutlich auf den friesischen Kurnamen Bomme zurück. Spangweg ist erstmals 1731 dokumentiert. Der Name geht auf dän. spang für eine einfache Brücke zurück.

Politik
Bei der Kommunalwahl am 6. Mai 2018 erhielt von den elf Sitzen der Gemeindevertretung die Wählergemeinschaft AWK acht und die CDU drei Sitze. Die genauen Stimmenanteile waren: AWK 72,8 Prozent und CDU 27,2 Prozent. Die Wahlbeteiligung betrug diesmal 46,4 Prozent.

Von elf Sitzen der Gemeindevertretung hatte die Wählergemeinschaft AWK zuvor seit der Kommunalwahl 2008 sieben und die CDU vier Sitze. Die Wahl am 26. Mai 2013 hatte folgendes Ergebnis: AWK acht und CDU drei Sitze. Die Wahlbeteiligung betrug zuletzt 45,8 Prozent.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten

In Klanxbüll befindet sich das Infozentrum Wiedingharde. Es beherbergt eine heimatkundliche Ausstellung zur Wiedingharde.

Der Charlottenhof, ein reetgedeckter Vierseithof, ist ein Kultur- und Tagungshaus der Gemeinde.

Bedeutsam ist daneben auch die Kirche im Westen der Dorflage an der Straße in Richtung des Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koogs. Sie ist eingetragen in der Liste der Kulturdenkmale in Klanxbüll.

Verkehr

Die Anbindung von Klanxbüll im Motorisierten Individualverkehr erfolgt überwiegend auf der schleswig-holsteinische Landesstraße 8. Sie zweigt an Deich(s)kopf an der nordöstlichen Ecke des Stadtgebiets von Niebüll in westnordwestlicher Richtung von der Bundesstraße 5 ab und führt direkt bis in die nördliche Dorflage von Klanxbüll.

In Parallellage zur Landesstraße 8 verläuft die Trasse der Marschbahn zur Nordseeinsel Sylt. Auf ihr verbindet die Regionalexpresslinie RE 6 des Nahverkehrsverbunds Schleswig-Holstein den Ort im Schienenpersonennahverkehr auf der Fahrt zwischen Hamburg-Altona und Westerland mit dem weiterführenden Fernverkehr. Zudem hält zeitweise der Intercity 2075 nach Berlin.

Der Bahnhof Klanxbüll ist die letzte Station auf dem nordfriesischen Festland. Im Ort sind direkt am Bahnhof und am Ostrand der Dorflage große Parkplätze für Bahnreisende vorhanden.

We have reached that time of year that I truly loved when I served as a congregational pastor. I'm sure it is the same for you. I pray God's richest and most abundant blessings and spirit are yours as you lead your congregations on their Advent journeys to a most joyous day … Christmas.
This Here We Stand update for the month of December will be brief. As you will recall, the congregational phase of the campaign "officially" kicked off at the All Pastors' and Wives' Conference in October. Since that announcement was made, several congregations have already responded with their decisions to participate in Here We Stand over a multi-year period. Several more congregations have verbally shared with us their plans to participate and are in the process of completing their Commitment Forms. To each congregation who has made a participation decision, please accept my sincerest gratitude. We look forward to receiving many more commitments over the coming months.
I also want to encourage you to review the campaign's "By the Numbers" update for the most recent information about campaign progress. You will find this report at the end of my update. As you go through your campaign participation decision-making process, please let our Campaign Director, Ray Zavada, or his Administrative Assistant, Linda Ekong know if they can assist in any way. They can be reached at ray.zavada@michigandistrict.org, or at linda.ekong@michigandistrict.org. Either of them can answer your questions, guide you to resources available on the campaign website at herewestand.michigandistrict.org, and schedule a time to meet with you and/or your congregational leadership if you think doing so would be helpful.
Finally, I would like to remind all congregations that the Hearts for Jesus emphasis in February of 2017 will be Here We Stand. Specifically, it will focus on the Acts 2 Enterprise Summer Sports Camps/VBS outreach to urban children. This Hearts for Jesus emphasis will give the children of our schools an opportunity to support and minister to hundreds of children from Detroit and Pontiac who attend one of our three week-long camps each summer.
It is our hope that this Kids2Kids concept will be an encouragement to the children of your congregations, whether or not your congregation has a school. Please encourage your Sunday school programs—and even next summer's Vacation Bible Schools—to participate as well. This will give your children an opportunity to make a difference in another child's life and see the love of Christ flowing through them.
and the District-wide worship service at the Breslin Center in East Lansing on October 15, 2017.
Please watch for this important mailing later this month.
… And have you heard that over 1,200 people from the Michigan District have registered in the Student Bible Reading initiative so far and, by doing so, committed to reading the Bible by October, 2017? I know Pastor Dave Davis, our Bible reading initiative coordinator, is very encouraged by this high level of participation already, but he, and we, would love to see many more of our young people start, and ultimately finish, the student Bible reading challenge as well. Please be a strong voice to your congregation's young people and encourage them to become involved. Registration in the Bible reading program, titled Crafted by Truth, is easy. Your youth simply need to go to the YouVersion Bible Reading website or app to get registered. You may also contact Linda Ekong by email or phone at 734.213.4265 and she will be happy to walk you through the steps.
Again thank you for your support of, and in many cases already, participation in Here We Stand. We still have a long way to go, but by God's grace we are off to a great and encouraging start. Please continue to work toward your participation decisions, and do not hesitate to let us know if we can help in any way.
Again, have a very blessed, joyful, and merry Christmas, and a wonderful and happy beginning to the New Year. May the presence of Christ fill your hearts each and every day as you serve Him and your congregations with joy.


Is your credit limit on your Chase card too low?
Don't worry, you're not stuck forever with the limit you're given. If you've been a good user, a credit line increase should be totally reasonable.
Higher credit limits not only give you more purchasing power, but they can help boost your credit score too.
In most cases, you just have to ask.
There are many reasons why you may want an increase. But not all of them are good reasons for getting one.
If you want an increase so you can buy stuff you can't afford, think twice. It's not a good idea to have so much spending power that you can't afford.
If you want an increase to make one or two large purchases and you have a payment plan, then great. You're using your card wisely.
Some people also want a credit line increase as part of their credit-building strategy. A higher limit will mean that your credit utilization is reduced, which leads to a better credit score.
For example, if you usually use $2,000 out of a $5,000 limit, you're using 40% of your limit. But if you get your limit increased to $8,000, then your utilization is only at 25%. It's usually recommended that you keep your credit utilization at 30% or below.
Now, let's go over the ways you can get a credit limit increase from Chase.
If you have been using your card responsibly for several months, Chase may automatically award you an increase.
Make your payments on time each month.
Pay off your card in full each month.
Update any salary increases on your profile. A higher salary may make Chase see that you can afford a higher credit limit.
Many users also report receiving automatic increases when they have heavy usage. If you use a lot of your credit limit each month, that may indicate to Chase that your limit isn't enough. But you MUST make sure to pay it off in full and on time each month so Chase sees that you can afford your spending.
Automatic increases may not be the case for every Chase card. Usually, Chase is more likely to award automatic increases for their lower tier cards, such as the Freedom or Freedom Unlimited. Those cards typically give out lower credit limits (starting at $500). Many users report seeing automatic increases after a few months.
Unfortunately, automatic increases for cards like the Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve are rare, but they're not completely unheard of.
If you don't want to wait around for an automatic increase, you can call the number on the back of your card and just ask. Many users have reported positive responses when they called in to ask.
But note that Chase will need to check your credit again. This will trigger a hard pull, which will ding your credit a little.
Ask at the right time. It's best to ask after you have used your card responsibly for at least 6 months. Ask after you have paid off your balance on your Chase card and other credit cards. It doesn't look good if you have a balance and then want a credit limit increase.
You would like to use this credit card as your primary card, and would need a higher limit.
You have some major purchases coming up, such as for a vacation, wedding, home improvement project, etc.
You want to transfer a balance.
It's even perfectly fine to say that you want to keep your credit utilization low.
Just don't say that you're low on cash and need to live off of your credit card for a while.
Know how much you want. Be reasonable about this. If you have a $2,000 limit, don't ask for $10,000 right away. You can maybe try $3,000. We'd say it's okay to ask for a 25% - 40% increase, depending on your situation.
If you've gotten an income increase.
If you've been a loyal Chase customer for years.
If you have other credit cards or banking accounts with Chase.
If you've always paid your bills in full and on time.
Be polite. Of course, don't forget courtesy. Your attitude goes far when asking for favors.
It also doesn't hurt to ask how much of a limit increase you can get without doing a hard pull on your credit. If you've been a very good user, sometimes issuers may give you a smaller increase without checking your credit.
If you have more than one Chase card, you can ask to transfer part of the credit limit from one to the other. Usually this is no problem. This way, the total credit Chase extends you remains the same.
Some people also open a new Chase card and then ask to move the credit limit over to the card they want the higher limit on. Sometimes it's easier to be approved for a new card.
Here's what you need to know about applying for a new Chase card. You may have some restrictions if you're over the 5/24 rule.
Note that you cannot transfer limits between personal and business cards.
Transferring credit is only a soft pull and will not damage your credit score. However, if you're requesting a transfer to a card that will end up exceeding $35,000 in limit, then Chase may do a hard pull.
If you got denied, don't worry. There is no limit to how many times and how often you can ask for a credit line increase. So just try again later.
Here are some things you can do to help increase your chances for the next time.
Speak to another agent. If you've been a perfect user and feel certain that you deserve an increase, call again and talk to another agent. Sometimes, it's up to the say of the agent. So you may have better luck with someone else.
Continue to pay your bills on time each month. This includes credit card bills, student loans, car payments, mortgage, utilities, etc. Any missed payments will be a ding on your report.
Pay off your credit card debts. If you have other credit card debts, work on paying them off. That way, the next time you ask for an increase, it'll show that you don't keep a balance.
Refrain from opening new credit card accounts. Otherwise, it'll look like you're asking for credit all over the place.
Ask for credit limit increases on your other cards. This is helpful overall, because when your credit limit increases on other cards, your credit utilization ratio goes down. This helps to improve your credit score, which makes it easier to get a credit limit increase from Chase.
Asking for a credit line increase from Chase is not so scary. The most important is that you always pay your bill in full and on time each month. Then an increase is not out of the question. It's best to ask for one after you have been using your card for at least 6 months. Be ready to explain why you need an increase and how much you want. Good luck.
And remember - celebrate your new limit but use it responsibly.

BREAKING: Leak Says the C8 ...
BREAKING: Leak Says the C8 Corvette "Zora" to Get 1,000 Horsepower AWD Drivetrain
Rumors have been coming that the C8 Corvette would be sporting some sort of hybrid system for a while. As speculation heats up, it looks like a new top-tier trim level might be added to the mix. In past generations, we have seen the Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1 packing extra options over the base models. A leak originally reported on by Hagerty.com says that they could add the "Zora" to that list.
Chevrolet is rumored to be pushing production back with the current events of Coronavirus. However, the Zora likely wouldn't be released for a couple of years anyway. The new trim level that will reportedly be a hybrid system creating 1000 hp is expected in 2025. From what we have gathered, the Zora will also sport an all-wheel-drive system.
What History Tells Us
In years past, we have seen the team behind the Corvette trickle out a new trim level every couple of years. As of today, all that we have in terms of the C8 is the base model car. If the model is anything like past models, we would see the upper models all be spaced out over the next couple of years.
The same report seems to have gathered information on the other models as well. The list puts the Z06 at 650 hp being released in 2022. It also has the Grand Sport cranking out 600 hp in 2023 and the ZR1 making 850 twin-turbo horsepower in 2024.
Throwing Blows at Europe
As of now, this is news is unofficial but we can't help but get incredibly excited about it. One thing that has been missing from the American performance landscape is a potent AWD sports car model. It looks like Chevrolet could be planning to put just that in place. Depending on the price point, the model could bring an all-new layer to the Corvette's "Bang for your buck" reputation.
Is it only a matter of time before an affordable car is widely outperforming some of the most expensive on the market? – TFLnow

Timex Indiglo watches are known to be user-friendly, with instructions often written on the back of the watch. It is simple to change batteries and often easy to fix other problems as well. If you're wondering why they're called Indiglo watches, it's because you can light up the watch face when pressing a side button. The light makes it look like the watch is glowing, which some people find particularly helpful to tell time at night and in dimly lit areas. If you're looking for a few tips on how to maintain and fix your Indiglo watch, keep reading for our best recommendations.
Take a very small flat-end screwdriver and insert it into the back of the watch plate where there is a small opening or gap between the back plate and the body of the watch. Pry open the back plate.
Unscrew the tiny screw with the small screwdriver, holding the battery bar in place until loose. Take the screwdriver or a finger and push the battery bar holding the battery in place over in order to access the battery itself.
Turn the watch over to be sure the battery is working before putting the back plate back on. If the battery still isn't working, turn the battery around to be sure it is turned the right way. Snap the back plate back down with your fingers when the battery is working again.
Press the "Start/Split" or "Stop/Reset" button your Indiglo. Hold it down long enough to stop all of the cycle alarms if they are going off.

CAIR-FL: GOP Condemns Anti-Islam Comments
REPUBLICAN PARTY CONDEMNS HOGAN
BROOKSVILLE - The Republican Party of Florida is calling on County Commissioner Tom Hogan Sr. to apologize for his derogatory comments regarding Muslims.
Carole Jean Jordan, chairwoman of the Republican Party of Florida, acknowledged that, while Hogan has served the local party well, "we cannot condone your divisive remarks.
"Yes, our nation is at war with a group of individuals who twisted the Islamic faith for their own horrific purposes," Jordan said in a written statement. "This does not, however, give anyone the right to paint all Muslims with a broad brush and the generalizations you made were reprehensible.
Jordan said the state party asked Hogan to apologize and retract his statements.
"Unfortunately, you refused to do so," she said. "Again we ask you to formally retract your statement and apologize for your remarks."
Hogan said Thursday he had not seen the letter. At press time, he did not plan to issue an apology. He stands by his and his wife, Mary Ann Hogan's, comments.
"We have never - neither one of us - mentioned a political party," Hogan said. "We never made it political and now the state party is doing that. I resent it on their part.
As a citizen, I've done nothing wrong at all and I don't know where all this is coming from," Hogan added.
In a letter to Hernando Today, Mary Ann Hogan called Islam "hateful and frightening." Tom Hogan Sr. said he agreed with his wife's comments in the letter.
The letter, approved by her husband, was critical of Islam and of the county for using county personnel and equipment to assist at a recent Ramadan festival at the mosque…
Also Thursday, the Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Tampa) has called on Governor Bush to remove Hogan from office.

I became part of the online quilting community about 3 years ago. My best friends' grandmother showed me a couple of quilting blogs, a concept I never knew existed, and I've been stuck ever since. The only problem I found was that I wanted to follow lots of blogs but I kept having to visit each site each day to see if there was a new post and it was taking a lot of time. I found out about an RSS reader called Google Reader, and it made it unbelieveably easy to condense all the blogs I followed into one spot, it was fabulous.
This is the website that I use to compile all the blogs I follow. You can search by subject, by blog, import friends, and easily follow/unfollow blogs. It makes it super simple to start compiling a whole list of great resources. Bloglovin also has iPhone/iPad/Android apps so that you can read your blogs on the go too. ;) Here is a link to my page and it shows the blogs I follow, mostly quilt-related, to get you started if you don't already have a good list.
Another good site to use is Feedly. This site work very similar to Bloglovin, has iPhone/iPad/Android apps as well, but has a different layout and a couple of different features. It's all personal preference so try both out and see which one works best for you.
I am personally a fan of quilting bees, they are a great way to get to know a smaller group of people, and with a small block a month commitment you get a personal quilting community and a quilt out of the deal! If you are interested in learning more about or joining an online quilting bee, this flickr group is a great place to start.
Hopefully that gives you a quick rundown of how to become more involved in the online quilting community! Best of luck, it's addicting!
Great post.I love to follow via GFC or email, but not enough time to read all the blogs I follow.

It's a brave new world for UConn lineman Andreas Knappe
Sports // Uconn
Jim Fuller jfuller@nhregister.com @NHRJimFuller on Twitter
UConn offensive lineman Andreas Knappe, right, pulls down Fatukasi Folorunso during a recent practice in Storrs.Jessica Hill — The Associated Press file photo
STORRS >> There was a time when Andreas Knappe's story seemed more along the lines of fictional baseball phenom Sidd Finch than the remarkable transformation of the gregarious Denmark native from football newcomer to team captain and likely pro prospect.
While his teammates had been going through the rigors of preseason camp three years ago, the journey of the 6-foot-8 former world class archer and rough and tumble handball player seemed almost too good to be true. When Knappe made his long-awaited arrival on campus, his teammates weren't quite sure what to make of this mountain of a man with blonde hair falling to the middle of his neck and a deep, raspy voice.
At first glance Knappe seemed more likely to be a character in the WWE than a promising prospect for a program just a couple of seasons removed from an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl.
"First when you see a 6-8, 6-9 guy who is as big as him, you think 'wow, this guy is huge,'" said UConn senior linebacker Marquise Vann, who will share captain duties with Knappe, Andrew Adams and Julian Campenni. "But once you hear what he did and what he had to do, it is very inspiring for myself to know that kind of hard work, the type of passion that he has. It helps fuel his leadership and his potential to do great things. He is such an awesome guy to be around. He laughs, he jokes and does all of these great things off the field."
Knappe's story is such an intriguing one that offensive line coach Mike Cummings, who helped turn Eric Fisher from a lightly recruited 230-pound offensive lineman to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, couldn't help but just blurt out to Knappe, "how did you get here?"
Knappe was raised in Silkeborg, a city whose most well-known athlete is likely golfer Thomas Bjorn. Once harboring dreams of representing Denmark in the archery competition at the Olympics, and growing too big to play handball, he was a prodigy without a sport to call his own.
Then one day images of an NFL game flickered across his television screen and Knappe was absolutely smitten with a sport he knew very little about.
"The NFL is on quite a lot," Knappe said. "I started following that and I thought it was a pretty cool sport. I don't know too much about it and then I got more and more into it. My best friend from home, he told me we had a team in our town and I said I might as well try too, it sounds like fun. I got hooked that first day of practice and it has been like that ever since."
Playing for his hometown team, however, was not going to be enough for somebody as ambitious as Knappe. A couple years after graduating from high school, he was living on his own. He saw an opportunity with the Triangle Razorbacks of the Danish American Football Federation. The Razorbacks were in the midst of a run of eight straight appearances in the Mermaid Bowl when Knappe decided it was just the environment he needed.
It was there he became teammates with former UConn products Zach Frazer, Alex Molina and Alex Polito. The trio reached out to many of their former coaches, including then-defensive coordinator Hank Hughes.
"What happened is we were trying to find players," Polito said earlier this month from his home in Denmark, where he now runs a string of car washes. "We won the national championship the first year (the UConn trio played there) and we were looking to try to get better. I guess they heard about this giant from Silkeborg and he came; a quiet kid, a real good kid. We played at UConn and we are used to seeing people that size.
"We said, 'you have the size, what are your goals?' He said, 'I'd love to go and play in America.' Basically from then on the guy was dedicated. He had to drive an hour just to get to a practice."
Knappe's twice-weekly drives to Vejle were not usually limited to just football practice.
"For him to get into school, you have to take all the tests and it is so difficult communicating with the colleges," Polito said. "When we started trying to get him to college, he was willing to go down and break down all of his game film, put it on YouTube and do all of that stuff. For me, I knew what he had to have just to get into college. So we made highlight tapes on YouTube just of his footwork and breaking down his game film. If I said to him, 'Andreas, I am going to be here at this time on a Saturday morning,' he would get in his car. He never said no to me and he was always willing to work as hard he possibly could. The only thing I could say is that he took advantage of every opportunity he had."
His work ethic did not end when he left home. During the 2014 preseason camp, UConn coach Bob Diaco announced that Knappe was one of the players to receive Iron Husky recognition for his work in the weight room.
"It didn't matter to me how much time I put into it," Knappe said. "It is what I love to do and the time aspect of that was not really an issue for me. I spent tons of time with those guys. It paid off and I am super happy."
Knappe was a defensive lineman on the Triangle Razorbacks squad which won the 2011 Mermaid Bowl, the team's fourth title in a six-year span. Knappe was on defense in his first two years at UConn, including his redshirt season. However, the new coaching staff saw a future for him on the offensive line. Now he is preparing for his second season as the starting right tackle.
UConn hosts Villanova on Thursday (7:30 p.m., SNY) in the season opener.
"He is a special, special guy," Diaco said. "He has a rare combination of tough gentleman. He has a rarer combination of aggressive intelligence. He's got some things that don't normally blend together that blend together nicely for him. More often than not he uses himself as an example from an accountability standpoint. That is, from a team standpoint, one of the best things that he does."
Knappe is the only non-senior and offensive player among the four captains.
UConn's official site has Knappe's photo next to a promo for football tickets. Offensive linemen normally aren't the faces of a football program, but if Knappe were to be the face of UConn, there would be few complaints from any of the players or coaches.
"I am so excited for him," offensive coordinator Frank Verducci said. "It is almost a storybook (tale) where a kid is an archer is Europe and he comes over here because he falls in love with the game.
"It would be like you or I going over and trying to play Junior league hockey over there and you just don't have any of the nuances. He literally started from scratch. He absolutely looks the part, but it is exciting to see all of those nuances coming together for him and the respect he has earned through his work ethic, his brotherhood as a member of the team. The players love him, they look up to him."
Knappe has been a regular on the Dean's list and American Athletic Conference All-Academic Team. He has also been named to the watch lists for the Wuerffel Trophy and Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team. Both awards recognize a player's community service and academic achievement as well as their on-field success.
Knappe, a communications major, has volunteered at a flag football tournament in Glastonbury in each of the last three years, and runs football clinics when he is back in Denmark. He also speaks to a local middle school as part of UConn's Goal Line Project.
"Literally, I am trying to make the best of the opportunity that I have," Knappe said. "I have an opportunity to influence a lot of people, especially some of the kids that we go read to. We read articles about some ethical issues and some people who have made a bad choice and stuff like that. You can have a tremendous impact on younger kids. I remember when I was a younger kid, some older guys came and talked to us, so it really gave us something to think about. They had a big influence on me."
Knappe is also making an impact on the field. With UConn vowing to have an offense keyed by a physical running attack, Knappe is ready to lead the way to the one thing he has yet to accomplish since arriving in the U.S. — leading UConn to a bowl game.
"He is one of the hardest-working guys on the team," senior running back Max DeLorenzo said. "He is a guy who loves to play football. Some guys don't want to practice, but he is all about it.
"He is a really tough kid and a really good offensive lineman. I am going to try to find him if I get the ball to run behind, I know that for sure."
There likely isn't a person associated with Knappe in his journey to the U.S. who isn't 100 percent certain that he will eventually be lining up at tackle for an NFL team.
"He earned everything he had because he really did go above and beyond anybody's expectations," Polito said. "We knew he was going to play college football, I always thought he would end up in the NFL just because of his size. But everything else, that is all him. Andreas is a kid who worked for everything that he got and there's not a doubt he will be in the pros."

Let's just say I've made two batches in as many days and they don't last long.
Put all the dry ingredients (minus the sugars) in a medium-sized bowl, mix with a fork and set aside.
Put all the wet ingredients (plus the sugars) in the bowl of your stand mixer, and stir on a medium speed until the mixture starts to turn pale (2–3 minutes).
That's it! Spoon the dough/batter onto a baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for oven-spread.

Sexual Abuse and Assault
Baxter Found Liable in First Contaminated Herapin Trial
By Rheingold, Giuffra, Ruffo & Plotkin LLP
Recently, a Cook County jury awarded $625,000 to the estate of a 63 year old Chicago area man, Steven Johansen, who was administered Baxter blood thinner that contained a contaminated ingredient Baxter sourced from China. This was the first of hundreds of pending lawsuits on Baxter contaminated Chinese heparin to go to trial. The law offices of Rheingold, Giuffra, Ruffo & Plotkin LLP are currently in the process if litigating a wrongful death case in New York City involving a husband who died after being administered contaminated herapin.
Heparin is an injectable anticoagulant used widely in patients undergoing dialysis or heart surgery. In 2008, the FDA issued major recalls of the drug after it was found that raw heparin stock imported from China was contaminated. The FDA attributes 81 deaths in America due to the contamination.
The contaminant was determined to be a man-made "fake heparin" called over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS), causing among other effects, potentially fatal allergic-like reactions. This crude heparin was referred to in the companies' own internal records as "the cheap stuff." Baxter and SPL knew that the plant had never been inspected by the U.S. FDA (which the FDA later attributed to clerical error) or Chinese regulatory officials. When the Chinese plant was finally inspected by the FDA after the heparin contamination crisis, multiple violations were found resulting in an import ban. Additional evidence also brought to light during the trial established that Baxter and SPL failed to establish and comport with quality/purity specifications, including an impurity profile, and failed to trace and control their supply chain. At trial, the Court granted partial directed verdict in favor of Mr. Johansen holding that the product sold by Baxter and SPL was defective as a matter of law.
The verdict was against both SPL and Baxter. The trial lasted 4 weeks. The Jury deliberated about 10 hours and reached a unanimous verdict of 12 jurors.
The contaminated heparin crisis received national attention and sparked congressional investigation as they exposed deficiencies in the regulatory oversight of drugs imported from China and other developing countries, and the failure of American drug companies, eager to increase profits by outsourcing, to monitor those foreign suppliers. If you or someone you know has suffered injury or death because of this gross negligence and disregard for safety, you should contact an attorney to discuss your options and possible compensation.

The One Hitter Part I
Posted by yourfriendandy under Geek | Tags: Iceman, Jeff Parker, Marvel, Mike Carey, Secret Invasion, Skrulls, X-Men, X-Men First Class Volume 2 |
I'm trying a new way to review a number of titles in a quick, to the point style; The One Hitter. Here I will briefly review a handful of comics, giving quick insights and opinions on the works. In this first installment I'll be reviewing Astonishing X-Men #26, Secret Invasion: X-Men #1, and X-Men First Class Volume 2 #15.
To quote Cyclops:
"Everything takes second place to there being enough adult mutants alive to protect the new generation."
Yep, Scott Summers, the former golden boy of the Xavier Institute has spoken these words. I was of the crowd who despised Cyclops, turned off by his 'by the book' mentality and teachers pet attitude. But the Cyclops of 2008 is not the Cyclops of the 90's and earlier. The transformation of his character over recent years has been an awesome thing to behold, and Scott Summers is quickly becoming one of my favorite X-Men. He lays down the law (even to the former leader of the Gold Team), comfortable in his new role as head of the X-Men. The new Cyclops is not afraid to remind his fellow teammates that the world has changed, thus forcing the methods of the X-Men to dramatically change as well. Heck, even Wolverine now respects his fearless leader, taking orders from him without question. It cannot be denied that Cyclops' new rhetoric and methods echo that of a long time enemy of the X-Men…
-Secret Invasion: X-Men #1
While this issue's art isn't the best, the script delivers. For once the X-Men actually kick the crap out of their enemies and look good doing so. I mean, Cyclops blasts a freaking Skrull ship in half all by his lonesome! To quote:
"You've got your targets. Hit them until they stop moving."
Like I said, Cyclops has become more bad ass.
Even a Skrull commander can't help but poop his pants a little as he announces the arrival of the X-Men to his fellow warriors. His expression says it all, "We're dealing with the X-Men!"
As silly as this issue is at times (and it has its moments), it shows the X-Men acting as a team, complete with different strike forces. The mutants inside these strike forces play to their powers, thus allowing the X-Men to operate as a cohesive unit. It's nice to see that.
Writer Mike Carey must be a fan of Canadian brew as a member of the San Francisco PD is named 'Molson.' There's even a small tribute to The Lord of the Rings in this issue…
-X-Men First Class Vol. 2 #15
I enjoy this series and while the last few issues haven't been great, I'm sad to hear the title is getting the ax from Marvel. This comic is a light, fun read and Jeff Parker's writing is witty, humorous, and befitting the characters. To quote Iceman:
"It's bad enough when women drivers won't admit their badness, but the crazy hair is too much!"
While this title makes the original X-Men more identifiable to a modern audience by putting them in a present day setting, the style of story telling remains true to the original stories from the 60's; The villain is met within the first few pages, the X-Men work together as a team to defeat them, and everything is hunky dory at the end. Corny? Absolutely. Entertaining? Even more so. There is a panel in this issue where Professor Xavier is stumped while trying to solve a Rubik's Cube, which tickled my funny bone. To boot, these issues are one of the few (if not only) places Jean Grey appears in the pages of a comic book.

A man has been arrested and charged with offences dating back to 2003.
The man was arrested at White River when he was sighted by members of the National Investigations Team.
Police will allege that 27 year old Kou Tatave was, at the time of the offences, a member of the Guadalcanal Liberation Front. He is alleged to have been part of a group that raided Ogio village and others on 27 May 2003.
Police allege that five people were killed, several were seriously assaulted and their homes burnt down. Tatave is the twelfth person to be arrested in relation to the offences. The other eleven are currently remanded in custody awaiting trial.
Tatave has been charged with four counts of abduction, three counts of unlawful confinement and two counts of arson. He appeared briefly in the Honiara Magistrates Court on Wednesday and will appear again today.
Deputy Director of the National Investigations Team, Silas Karani, said: "This is a significant arrest following a long investigation. It has been a very good job carried out by the police."


Spanish film composer Alberto Iglesias was born in San Sebastian in 1955. He spent his early years studying harmony and counterpoint in the city of his birth, later studying composition and piano in the studios of Phonos de Barcelona. Wrapping up his period of formal education, Iglesias formed a duo with fellow composer Javier Navarrete creating electronic music, touring and performing from 1981 to 1986. This spark for creative and unconventional techniques would come to characterize Iglesias' career.
Thanks to personal connections made by his brother Jose Luis, Iglesias began working in the world film music in the mid-'80s, scoring films such as La Conquista de Albania (1984) and El Sueño de Tanger (1986). Though well liked by industry insiders, Iglesias' compositions had not found large audiences before his collaborations with Julio Médem, one of Spain's most influential directors. 1991's Vacas (Medém), followed by 1993's La Ardilla Roja formed an important alliance between Medém and Iglesias that would lift the young composer to new heights of renown. Thanks to the films' success and the quality of Iglesias' work, he was solicited for a number of projects throughout the '90s, including the national hits Los Amantes del Circulo Polar (1998) and Pedro Almodóvar's Todo Sobre Mi Madre (1999).
The latter marked the beginning of an important partnership with Almodóvar, as well as Iglesias' arrival as an internationally recognized voice in film music. This hard earned reputation was further established with the award winning score for Talk to Her, followed by La Mauvaise Education. Iglesias' impeccable work was introduced to U.S. audiences via his Oscar-nominated score for The Constant Gardener.


to get high on the charisma of an entertaining teacher, like a "Dharma junkie,"
even if they start in one of these ways, for sincere interest in what Dharma has to offer.
Each of the three approaches can be mature or immature from a Dharma point of view.
Those who have an immature intellectual approach are often fascinated with the beauty of the Buddhist systems. They want to learn the facts and intricacies of the philosophy and psychology, in a sense, to get "high" on them, but they do not integrate the teachings into themselves or feel anything. Such persons are often the insensitive types or have emotional blocks.
Those with a mature intellectual approach learn the intricacies and details of the Dharma so that they can more fully understand the teachings and can integrate and apply them correctly.
With an immature emotional approach, people want to meditate merely to calm down or to feel good, such as meditating on love toward everyone. Such persons typically want to look at only the "nice" parts of Dharma, not at suffering, worse rebirths, the filthiness of the insides of the body, and so on. They neither want to recognize nor to work on ridding themselves of disturbing emotions and attitudes, and they have little understanding of the teachings. Such persons tend to be the overemotional, oversensitive types.
Those with a mature emotional approach work with their emotions to rid themselves of the disturbing ones and to enhance the positive ones.
An immature devotional approach thinks how wonderful the Buddhas, Buddha-figures, and teachers are and how lowly I am. Thus, persons with this approach pray for help from them, as if to Buddhist "saints," and do not want to take responsibility for their own developments.
Those with a mature devotional approach attend and perform rituals to gain inspiration to work on themselves.
We need to balance all three approaches, so that we understand the Dharma, feel something on an emotional level, and gain inspiration.
For example, emotional persons need to learn the intellectual approach. To do this, they need to realize that when, for instance, they do not feel like loving others, they can work themselves up to feeling love by understanding and relying on a line of reasoning.
Intellectual persons need to learn the emotional approach. To do this, they need to realize that their mental tightness leaves them cold and this makes not only others, but even themselves feel uncomfortable. Thus, they need to quiet down to access their natural warmth.
Nondevotional persons need to learn the devotion approach. To do this, they need to realize that they need to be able to develop energy when they are feeling low.
Devotional persons, on the other hand, need to grow intellectually. To do this, they need to realize that when they cannot understand what is happening in life, they need more than comfort and uplifting from ritual.
For emotional types, ritual gives expression and form to feeling.
For intellectual types, ritual gives regularity and a sense of continuity. Also, engaging in rituals before gaining understanding, as when reciting a tantric sadhana practice in Tibetan when not knowing the language, lowers arrogance. That arrogance often takes the form of "I am not going to practice anything, unless you explain it to me and I understand it."
We may have each of the three approaches to our spiritual teachers in an immature or mature manner.
In an immature manner, intellectual types argue with their teachers; emotional types fall in love with them; and devotional types become mindless slaves, wanting their teachers to tell them what to do and think.
In a mature manner, intellectual types find their teachers intellectually stimulating and challenging; emotional types find them emotionally moving; and devotional types find them inspiring.
Mature persons may have a balance of all three approaches whether practicing "Dharma-Lite" (watered-down, provisional Dharma) for this lifetime alone, or "The Real Thing" Dharma (authentic traditional Dharma) for liberation from rebirth and enlightenment.
