Bellydance solo El Hob Kollu for the Guild of Oriental Dance at the Jawaahir Dance Company

Here I am performing "El Hob Kollu" at the 19th Annual Guild of Oriental Dance Show, titled "Midnight at the Oasis" at the Jawaahir Dance Company Space April 18, 2009.

Getting rid of nasty Facebook apps

A friend posted a status update that I thought might be interesting see "my first ever status message." I gave the app access...and it started auto posting statuses for me.

In other words, a scam. Darn it! These things can be dangerous. I quit it when it asked me to take a survey before it would show me my first status update.

Here's how you get rid of these lousy things:

1. Go to Account > Privacy Settings > Apps and Websites (on the lower left corner of screen), and choose "Edit your settings..."
2. Now you will be on the Apps you use page. Click the Edit Settings button and find the app you want to remove. Click the small "x" to the right of "Edit Settings" for the app you want to get rid of and a box will pop up.
3. Click "Remove" in the box that pops up and click "Okay" to finish. Nastiness removed!

Bad day? Mad? Crazy People? Bunny can help.

Please help save Alanna!

Update:

Alanna had a meet and greet on Tuesday and found her forever home! Although I was VERY happy for her, I cried myself all the way home. I love and miss her so much!!

BUT, I’m VERY happy that she’s going to a GOOD home because she was very deserving of a 2^nd chance. It was very difficult to say goodbye and leave her, but my very dear and good friend Deanna gave me words of comfort when she said…Alanna is finally HOME. ….and what a wonderful home she has!!! Please see the update below from the wonderful couple who adopted her and are now giving her lots of love and comfort and allowing her to live out the rest of her life as she so truly deserved! .

Thanks everyone for your efforts!

We are sincerely grateful.

Alanna's new "mom" writes:

Just wanted to update you on our new four-legged family member: Alanna is doing GREAT!

The first night she slept on TOP of me in bed and I just laughed all night. The next morning we were off to Ely and she did the drive very well. Here at home we've walked and walked and walked, met neighborhood dogs and spent some time just cuddling at home. We want to make sure she feels comfortable and understands that this is "her" home now too.

She never lets us out of her sight, ever. And I think she is trying to figure out which one of us adults she's supposed to stick to, me or Tyler. She's really a great girl and we feel lucky to have her. Oh, and NO pee accidents at all. I saw her do a submissive pee once with Tyler outside tonight but that's the first time.

She seems to nibble on food a little at a time verses gobbling everything all at once. I've added meaty things or yogurt and then she makes it disappear. (adjusting to new food since we don't have NutroMax here).

Treats, on the other hand, no problem! Our little two-year old gives her treats and she's very gentle with him. She loves playing and throws her toys up into the air like a wild woman! And then a second later is as calm as ever, like she has an on/off button. Well, that's our update. We love her, thank you!!

----Original post----

Please help find Alanna a home!!

If you know someone who might be interested in an awesome pet PLEASE let me know in the comments and pass this link on:

http://bit.ly/SaveAlanna

She is the sweetest and most lovable dog!

She also very playful and plays so gently with me and my dogs, and gives everyone kisses, including my dogs. She’s so affectionate and loves to cuddle. I can't even begin to explain how cute and sweet she is, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please pass this email on. She also listens very well, and even barks less then my dogs.

Alanna is GREAT with dogs and kids

Not sure about cats. SO if you know anyone, or have any questions please leave a comment here to help her find a safe and loving home….and a second chance for her!

She’s a German Sheppard/Husky mix, about 1 – 2 years old, and sheds A LOT like my dog Angel (who also is a Sheppard Husky mix)….but they’re worth every hair!

Alanna is a rescue dog from MARS (Midwest Animal Rescue)

She is named after one of the women who rescued her. She’s from Ohio (a high kill state) and was picked up as a stray with her friend Lynn, and schedule to be euthanized because nobody claimed them. Please help give them a second chance. Her friend Lynn is also in a foster care now, and we plan on having play dates for them.

In this photo she’s playing with Zukor, and later fell asleep next to Angles feet. She’s even cuter in person :)

She is a dog that I’m fostering and I can tell you if I didn’t already have 2 BIG dogs I would keep her myself. I’m not just saying that. I wouldn't do that because I want her to go to a home that will be a good fit

Thanks everyone!!

The Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz , the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read this article straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world .

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners. 





How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. 




Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school...

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. 




Easier?
I love this! 

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care. 

 
Share this with those who have made a difference in your life. I just did!

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. 

It's already tomorrow in Australia ..." 

Charles Schultz

The patented 5-step process: How to Hug a Baby

Step 1: Find a baby

Mission accomplished!

Step 2: Verify that what you have found is indeed a baby: Employ classic sniffing techniques.

Yup, it's a baby!

Step 3: Be sure to flatten the baby before actually beginning the final hugging process.

Good work!

Step 4: Slide paws around baby in preparation for close-up (the 'paw slide').

Well done!

Step 5: Wait for a camera to appear. (If all previous steps have been performed accurately this is inevitable.) Perform the difficult and patented 'hug, smile, and lean' for best photo quality.

Love to you all!

Of love and cookies

A very old man lay dying in his bed. In death's doorway, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs.

He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands.

With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven.

There, spread out on many sheets of wax paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.

Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table. The aged and withered hand, shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when he was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife.

“Stay out of those,” she said.

“They're for the funeral.”

How to support a good cause using Twitter, blogging & social networking

Have a good cause to support? Add your information in the comments!

People often ask me how can they do fundraising for a problem or person they know about. Basically, you write a blog post and ask people to help you promote it, and to visit and donate. And you spend a few weeks at it.

Susan Austin photos of Jawaahir dance performance Sparkle

Susan Austin of Austin Images Photography took these photos of me and my fellow Jawaahir dance members recently (that's me in the first pic!) You can see many more on the Jawaahir Flickr page. And there is a short, fun documentary that was done about the making of this show, Sparkle.

Susan is a wonderful photographer—obviously!—in the Twin Cities area that we met through Twitter, where she is @SusanAustin.

Something you have to learn about yourself.

Thank you for visiting. Our computer network has been secretly analyzing your personality for several months and learned this about you:

You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage.

Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others.

At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.

84% of people (tests over several decades) report this as accurately describing them when told beforehand it is an assessment of their personality. Wonder why this seems to be as accurate as it does? Read more about the Forer effect.

(And no, we don't have a secret network. This is a trick. Click the link and read more.)

A Musical Mediation to Relax and Reflect With: Hidden Sky, by Jami Sieber

Relax or reflect with “Hidden Sky,” a deep, clear and spacious musical meditation from electric cellist Jami Sieber. (Click the play arrow in the upper left corner to listen, and drag the slider in the upper right corner to adust volume.)

Hidden Sky by Jami Sieber

Tender and wise romantic melodies slowly unfold in a perfect meeting of Western and Eastern sensibilities. Sieber's music on this album comes from contemplating on her meeting with the elephants of Thailand. The "Sukhotai Rain" and "A Common Music" tracks even include sounds made by the Elephant Orchestra from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center.

(Note: you may need to reset the volume in the player after some tracks.)

Behind the scenes of a sold-out show: The rehearsal for "Sparkle"

Jawaahir's rehearsal for the sold-out "Sparkle" show (dance photos from the show are now up!) on 3-minute egg:

This show was a lot of fun to do! The Company members choreographed for each other this time, and the video offers a wonderful glimpse of our creative process.

We won a Shorty Award for technology on Twitter!

Dave and I recently won what the New York Times likened (somewhat) to the Oscar and Tony Awards for creating short tech content on Twitter.com via our "channel" @Twitter_Tips!

So I'm heading to Brooklyn in a couple of weeks (February 11th) to accept the $1,000 Knight Foundation award at the Awards ceremony. We received more votes overall than most category winners did, and 42% more votes than the second place competitor in our category. My personal account on Twitter is @SarahJL, and Dave's is @QuantumGood.

The Shorty Awards competition was covered by The New York Times, The BBC, AdAge, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, MediaBistro and many others.

Twitter hacked—15 Tweets that tell you everything you need to know.

So Twitter got hacked. And phished.

The Twitterverse responded with it's usual self-assured je m'en fous—a sure sign it takes something much more significant than a little phishing and a few dozen hacked celebrities to threaten our Tweeple. (If Favrd went down, you'd hear some real outrage. And Zamanfou is something else entirely—although we have that too.)

Here then are 15 tweets that prove we Tweeple are a hardy bunch. Also sarcastic, ironic, self-loathing and always ready for a good LOL. Just like the rest of the internet.

Click any tweet to be taken to that writer's Twitter user page. (You can follow them from there!)
