| | | A Conversation With Dr. Wayne Dyer | | 2008-06-21 04:52:02 | | By Ana Hays, Maui Vision MagazineFound In Wayne Dyer's Official Site Life brings many opportunities and I’m grateful for the time I spent on Maui and the occasions I had to produce Wayne Dyers’ events for Unity Church of Maui while I lived there. An admirer of his for years, one might call me a groupie. Alas, what can I say! I’m a sucker for kindness of heart and generosity of spirit; two qualities Wayne has always bestowed on me; whether it was planning his events or taking time out from his day to speak with me about his latest book Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao.An internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development, Dr. Wayne Dyer has penned over 30 books and on October 26-28, 2007, he will host an intensive on Maui where he will speak about living the Tao and how to apply the wisdom of the Tao in your everyday life.Ana – Seeing you as someone who walks their talk, I found it interesting in the preface of Cha | | By: Spiritual Village | | |

| | My Conversation with bin Laden | | 2008-06-18 13:30:00 | | It began with an anonymous message, a note delivered by someone unknown. Several weeks and emails confirmed the authenticity. Now, here I was in the back of a beat-up car, blind-folded with a black fabric hood over my head, dust filling my lungs as we speed down the bumpy, mountainous back roads of the Afghanistan – Pakistan border. I was about to meet the most wanted man on Earth. I had been summoned by Usama bin Laden.I got out of the vehicle and was led through a narrow opening into a cave. The men sat me down and removed the hood and blindfold. My first sight revealed artificial lighting, a handful of cell phones in an open bag to my left, and a Q’aran. Two hulking men wearing robes, scarves covering their faces save the eyes, stood guard at the exit, armed with AK-47s.About 20 minutes of sitting in silence came to a sudden end with the sound of commotion outside. The guards shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ as one man, then another, came into the cave. The third and last to appear was | | By: The Moderate Separatist | | |

How does one start a conversation anyway?Don’t you admire people who waltz into a room and immediately find themselves immediately sharing jokes with someone, while you’re standing alone, all self-conscious, hoping for something to happen?'The thing is, we all feel nervous when encountering strangers for the first time. We all wait for someone to come and talk to us.Take the initiative and talk to someone. Chances are, that person will be relieved that you did and you would have gained valuable experience as well as an increased sense of confidence.Starting a conversation with a stranger can be daunting, but the rewards can be great.

Many people cannot move on beyond the first date is simply because they lack the knowledge to start an interesting and fun conversation. Knowing how to start an exciting conversation is important as it brings down her defenses and reveals more about her to you. Mastering this set of skill will definitely bring you another step FORWARD meeting the dream girl of your LIFE. Let's not waste any more time and I shall impart to you some tips on how to engage a woman in an interesting and fun conversation...When you are out on a date with her, remember that you are not her employer and you are not employing her. Many males make the mistake of turning the date into a job interview session. The male starts asking questions regarding her job, family, salary, and her age.

So when he discovered he could engage his kids online in a collaborative, multimedia slide show called a VoiceThread, he decided to see if he could use it to, as he puts it, "steal some of their online minutes." VoiceThreads might best be described as interactive media albums. They are essentially online slide shows of images, documents, or videos that enable viewers to comment on any slide (or at any point in the video) by typing, recording an audio or video comment, or drawing on the image itself. Teachers have been early adopters of the easy-to-learn technology, which has led the company to launch Ed.VoiceThread.com, a secure site just for educators and their students, says VoiceThreads co-founder Ben Papell.

| | | 4 First Date Conversation Starters Which Women Love | | 2008-04-07 08:59:12 | | In general, dating can be tough work, and first dates can be even tougher. One of the things that can easily turn a first date into a difficult endeavor has to do with knowing exactly what to say. By nature, people tend to be afraid of failing, fearing rejection from square one. Both of these fears contribute to the fear of not having adequate conversation on the first date with someone that you sincerely care about. Conversations on the first date can play a very large determining role in whether or not a second, third or even fourth date will ever happen. Here are four excellent first date conversation starters.- One great way that you can start up a conversation on your first date is to find out as much information as you can about the other person. Do not ask too many personal things, but rather focus on broad topics during first date conversation. Keep things basic by asking about jobs, favorites, interests and hobbies for example. Use open ended questions rather than questions th | | By: Pick up Artist - How to Pick up Women, Dating Advi | | |

She talks about her favorite M.A.C Products which are Pink Poodle lipglass, she describes it as "a very very bright pink." She also adds, "But it's beautiful, it's pretty, it's not too much in your face, but still compliments your face." Her favorite lipstick of all time is Ruby Woo, she describes it as a "bright red, completely matte, it feels like powder. She adds, "In fact when I am putting it on, you really have to push it, really work it in to the lips, but then again it stands out beautifully." She thinks the biggest mistake women make on their face is when they are shining around their nose and under the eyes, for that you should always carry Blot Powder with you. Another big mistake is putting on too much foundation and concealer, she stresses on the idea that "less is more, leave transparency on your skin, conceal only where it is needed!"To find out more...watch it here

| | A Conversation With A TAXI Driver - PART 6 | | 2008-03-11 03:15:00 | | So there I was, in a TAXI, grumbling under my breath because I’d just been conned to go aaaaaaaaall the way from Sukhumvit to Srinakarin just for a friggin’ MOVIE. It all started because a friend of mine was lazy to get out of his house and insisted that I go to his place (which turned out to be in the hicks – gawd) instead. “Why does this fool live aaaall the way in Srinakarin anyway,” cursed I. “That’s like, thang changwat (external province/country-side) already~!! BAH~!!” My TAXI driver, a man who looked to be in his late-thirties was a particularly chatty one. As usual, he started with the typical questions, as I mentioned before HERE. “It’s quite late already; why are you going to Srinakarin?” he asked. “Erm, my lousy friend told me to come to watch a movie,” I said. “All the way to Srinakarin just for a movie~?!” he asked, incredulous. “I know, he’s so annoying,” I said. “I mean, just look at where we are~!!

| | To heal is to become one with the Deep Love of God | from a conversation with Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe | | 2008-01-08 00:10:32 | | Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, leader of the Shadhiliyya Sufi School of Spiritual Healing here in America, is a licensed medical doctor, master energetic healer and spiritual counselor. He is also the founder of the School of Energy Mastery and Energy Mastery Seminars and is widely recognized as a compassionate healer and loving teacher. Guy Spiro interviewed him for Monthly Aspectarian (aug 2000).The Monthly Aspectarian: Dr. Jaffe, I'd like to start out by asking you to give a thumbnail description of your background.Ibrahim Jaffe: I'm a Medical Doctor who in 1986 went blind. I had picked up a virus when I wrestled for the Illini at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and it caused me to lose my sight. After treating with the common anti-virals and doing all the things that the physicians teach today, I was unable to get well. The medical profession basically washed its hands of me.TMA: Were you already involved in holistic medicine at that time?IJ: I already had some interest in holistic medicine and had spent some time meditating, but really had no background in them at that point. I spoke with some friends and they suggested acupuncture and homeopathy and none of that really worked. Then somebody suggested I go up to a yoga retreat and try some of their programs, which also didn't work.So after about six months of the disease, which was progressively getting worse and I was in a lot of pain, I realized that nobody was going to heal this for me. I went into a room, sat there and started to meditate with the belief that somewhere within me was the power to heal. For about three months I sat in that room and meditated every day. I visualized and did everything I could think of without a lot of success until one day I gave up. I got angry and couldn't deal with it anymore. I started to scream and yell and shout and as I did that, something remarkable happened.

| | | How to start conversation with a girl | | 2007-11-15 03:56:49 | | TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDEProblem: There’s this girl in my church youth group that I really like. I just don’t know what to say to her, and I feel really bad when I can’t think of anything. What can I do so I don’t come off as if I don’t care when I can’t think of anything to say?Remedy: Girls love to talk about anything and everything (including you). Start a conversation by asking a question starting with a word such as why, how or what. Try to avoid cliché questions that lead to one-word answers (see below). Pay attention to her likes and dislikes. Find something in common and build conversation from there. Avoid arrogant remarks like “This math homework was so easy! My 5-year-old brother could do this!” Be more encouraging. Say, “Math can be confusing sometimes. Want some help?”Problem: She’s giving you the silent treatment. The reason might be . . .a. She’s not interested in talking to you at the moment.b. She IS interested and therefore you are the LAST person she talks to. (C’mon, you guys do the same thing!)c. You haven’t introduced yourself yet.Remedy: Follow the checklist given here. Take a deep breath, walk up to her, smile and say, “Hi, I’m (your name).” Ask a question. If she completely snubs you, get the message and move on. If she sticks around, listens and asks you questions in return, congratulations! You are now successful in conversing with the opposite sex.CONVERSATION STARTERS:• “What did you do for spring break?“• “How was your game last night?“ (Note: This only works for the girl who plays on a team.)• “What kind of music do you like?“• “How is your history project going?“• “How was your day? “Follow-up question: “Why was your day good/bad?“ Avoid one-word answer or cliché questions: • “How’s it goin’?” “Fine.“• “Aren’t you glad summer is finally here?” “Yes.“• “Did you watch the final episode of ‘American Idol’? ” “No.“ | | By: the relations | | |

OK, no more joking around. Let’s try again, shall we? The night was actually just a bit cloudy, and this time my TAXI driver was a man in his mid-forties, with golden skin and curly hair. I noticed that he was observing me on his mirror, and he asked, “Mai chai khon thai roo?” (You’re not Thai, are you?), and I said no. He began asking me the typical questions that all TAXI drivers seem to have learned in “TAXI driver school” (click HERE if you really wanna know what the specific questions are), until he came to the “jackpot question”: “Mii faen khon thai mai?” (You got a Thai boyfriend?) I said no I don’t, and he asked, “Why not?” I (only JOKINGLY) answered, “Because Thai men like women TOO MUCH~!! They have too many kiks~!!!” He threw his head back and laughed heartily, with one hand slap | | By: Street Smart Sukhumvit | | |

| | | Conversation Two from the JDC | | 2007-10-06 19:12:26 | | I started by letting Salinda know that I was considering coming for a visit today if it looked like she was going to be able to be communicative. By the end of the conversation it was apparent that she has no intention, today, of being remorseful. She's sitting there plotting how she can play this. It's all about her getting what she wants. And she doesn't really know how to play.I let her know that she had a decision to make as to how she was going to do this. Either she could say she wanted to come home and change and I would be there to help guide her and give her advise as to how to do that. Or she could choose to attempt to blame her parents and get out of our home, but I reminded her that she might be going somewhere she wouldn't like. I told her that after you are charged with a felany is not the time to start trying to convince people that your parents are the problem.Right as it was time for her to be done I mentioned RIcardo and how he was beginning to make poor choices. Her response, "It is because YOU are taking away his only friends."I responded, "You really aren't getting this. I'll be out there tomorrow to see you but I can't take the time to come out today. I just can't afford the time and I don't think that you really understand that kids have choices and responsibility for their actions."So, tomorrow I will head out to visit her and see if she is ready to say she is sorry and ask to come home. If she isn't, then she gets what she gets.I am just amazed that after having yet another day to sit there and think, she's still simply plotting her next move to see if she can get a better deal. Maybe her heart is harder than even I thought it was. | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |
| | Conversation from the Juvenile Detention Center | | 2007-10-05 23:49:30 | | I called Salinda at the Detention Center. She was mad. I figured she would be and I think she probably had a right to be because it all came out of the blue. She had a good night last night and all the sudden the officer shows up at school to take her to detention.I explained to her about the fear of the other kids. I explained to her about threatening to hurt her being a violation of her conditions of release. I explained to her about how we have been unable to help her. I explained that last week must not have been much of a wake up call if she came back home and was rude, disrespectful, and mouthy. I explained how I had done everything I could think of to help her and yet yesterday she was still uncooperative with her therapist, unrepentant, unremorseful. I told her we needed help to help her because I wasn't getting anywhere.She had others to blame, but she really doesn't want to be where she is. She mentioned that she had made some mistakes (first she's admitted that). Said she was planning to write me a letter to say how she felt. But she also blamed me for much of this and said if we never would have moved here it never would have happened.I mentioned to her that we all moved here, but the other kids were not in legal trouble. She had choices to make, and she made them. And now she has to face the consequences of those choices.I said I'd come see her on Sunday. She said she wanted me to come tomorrow. I told her I would call her tomorrow and come Sunday. Told her she needed more time to think.I feel so torn about what to do. I hate to not give her a chance when this might be the turning point, but I hate to give her chance it if isn't going to be anything more but another time around the circle.But for right this minute our home is blissfully calm.Thanks to all of you have emailed and commented with support and prayers this week. They have helped.I didn't realize how much this was all getting to me until I went to the doctor today and for the first time in my life my blood pressure was elevated.

| | 6 Tips For Good Conversation | | 2007-09-30 15:41:35 | | 1. Don't be afraid of conversational taboos. Lots of people can discuss 'delicate' topics, such as religion and politics, without coming to. blows. Vital issues - the kind you feel strongly about often make the best conversations.2. Don't argue — discuss. The purpose of a conversation is to exchange views and information, not to convert the other person to your particular set of prejudices.3. Learn to listen. Conversation should have a give-and-take rhythm. Allow your friend to 'speak his piece' without constant interruptions. Pay attention. A genuine interest in the other person's point of view is absolutely essential. 4. Stay with the subject. Do not flit from topic to topic without doing justice to any. Try to explore an issue with reasonable thoroughness. It's much more satisfying.5. Say what you think. Don't be afraid to disagree. A certain amount of honest friction heightens interest and establishes mutual respect. 6. Don't panic when there's pause. You don't have torush in to fill every little pocket of silence. Pauses are a necessary part of every good conversation. They do refresh — and they provide an opportunity to collect one's thoughts before plunging on.Article copyright BookOfTips.Blogspot.Com - Find helpful tips that can help you with your daily activities.

| | Conversation Cake. | | 2007-09-16 21:00:00 | | Today, September 17th …. Today I have for you another little bit of Retro Cake trivia (are you reading this, Patron Saint of Retro Cakes?) from an almost Retro Recipe source – the radio. In spite of the obvious advantages of a highly visual medium such as TV in providing cookery infotainment, radio recipe programs just refuse to die. There is, in the USA, a long running food/cookery/household hint program called Ask Heloise Radio Show. The current Heloise is the daughter of the originator, who started off with a newspaper column in the Honolulu Advertiser in1959. On September 17th 1959 Heloise the First gave a recipe for Tomato Soup Conversation Cake, which used as its title suggests, one can of tomato soup – and which no doubt (as Heloise I pointed out) has the potential for being a conversation starter, should you need one for your little tea-party. The recipe was not a new idea in 1959 - without the ‘conversation’ in the title the idea has been around since th | | By: The Old Foodie | | |
| | A Conversation With A TAXI Driver (PART 4) | | 2007-09-13 23:13:00 | | So there I was, in a TAXI again, this time going to Sukhumvit 22. My TAXI driver this evening was a youngish guy, about mid-twenties. He was listening to one of the usual TAXI radio stations featuring luukthung (folksy Thai music originating from the northeastern Isan province) when I suddenly recognized the song being broadcasted. The opening of the song sounded very similar to a cheerful, childish song I often hear on the Thai TV Channel 5: it’s a song sung by a very cute little girl about pandas (for those of you who don’t know, the whole Thailand went ga-ga when China decided to "lend" its pandas to Chiang Mai Zoo). The lyrics go like this: “Mii panda, mii panda, mii panda, mii mii pandaaaaaaaaaaaa~~” (There’s the panda, there’s the panda, there’s the panda, there’s the pandaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~). The whole song basically goes on about how adorable pandas are: “They’re so cute… so clean… black and white…Let’s go see the panda togethe... | | By: Street Smart Sukhumvit | | |
| | | | A Conversation With A TAXI Driver (PART 3) | | 2007-08-30 10:27:00 | | The rain was brutal. The traffic was hell. And I was bored to tears. Then I noticed that the TAXI driver, a man in his thirties, with curly hair and longish, immaculately shaped nails, was watching me from his rearview mirror. "Wanna hear a joke?" he asked. "Yea, sure," I said, "Anything is better than having nothing to do on a rainy day. So beua (boring)~!!" "OK, here goes," he began, "What kind of rot (Thai word for "car" or "vehicle") is longer than rot fai (literally means "fiery car" = train)?" (English translation: what kind of a car/vehicle is longer than a train?) My brain was, of course, in its default "SLEEP" mode, so I was in no condition to do any deep thinking. "Erm... I dunno, I have no idea," I said. "It's rot tid (traffic)!!" he said, looking so delighted. "HAHAHAHA~~!!!!" ******************************************************************* In order to understand the joke completely, here's a quick Thai language lesson: - the word rot means car or vehicle ... | | By: Street Smart Sukhumvit | | |
| | A conversation with Matt: short but sweet | | 2007-08-04 00:57:29 | | In my position in life, I’ve gotten to rub elbows with a few industry bigwigs and even some celebrities, but I don’t really get gushy or tense around them. So last night was mildly surprising when I found myself rather schoolgirlishly nervous as I waited for my Skype chat with Matt Mullenweg. I’m embarrassed to [...] | | By: Blogie Blog | | |
| | A Conversation With A TAXI Driver (PART 2) | | 2007-07-26 18:00:00 | | As I mentioned in "A Conversation With A TAXI Driver" (read it here), Bangkok’s TAXI drivers just say the darnest things. This time I was (again) riding a TAXI on the main Sukhumvit Road when the driver, a man in his late twenties with longish hair started to mention that he actually doesn’t like watching those stereotypical lakons (soap opera) but instead prefers the traditional lakons (unfortunately I didn’t catch the title of his favorite lakon because at this time I was busy fiddling with my cellphone - aaarrgghhh). This was quite surprising to me because stereotypically, lakon watchers are usually female, but hey, like I said, Bangkok has some of the most interesting TAXI drivers in the world~!! For those who don’t know, modern Thai lakons are usually filled with high drama, lots of screaming, crying, cat fights and hair pulling - and of course, the stereotypical love triangle between: - The stereotypical good guy character (soft-spoken, riep rooy - meani... | | By: Street Smart Sukhumvit | | |

| | Lost Art of Conversation | | 2007-03-27 22:34:00 | | I spend most of my day typing snappy retorts over instant messenger, or thumbing in quick text replies on my cell phone. On those rare occasions that I send email, I'll spend a good hour writing it and editing it so it's something akin to a literary masterpiece. For email, at any rate. This usually means it's longer than most of the emails I'll ever receive.But for all my long-winded electronic replies, quick remarks about everything under the sun in meebo.com, I find myself smiling and blushing as I try to carry on a regular conversation with friends in person. All my wit flees and I dangerously tread on foot-in-mouth territory.I know there's a few people who would beg to disagree. And yes, I'm quite capable of intelligent and even interesting conversation, but that usually happens because I'm comfortable with the person I'm talking to. If I haven't seen a friend in awhile, or if it's someone I'm used to chatting online with then the cross-over to in person conversation see | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |
