When customers take their new Ford Flex for its first spin this summer, they may be surprised by what's missing: the noise.
Flex delivers a quieter ride than competitors including the Acura MDX, Toyota Highlander and GMC Acadia, according to Ford tests. That's good news for customers, who tend to directly relate a vehicle's quietness with [...]
What quiets the mind? What is Mindfulness? These two questions are intertwined. For mindfulness itself brings about a quiet mind without trying to control or quiet the mind...and therefore mindfulness can not be a mental activity. Let us explore mindfulness and find out why mindfulness quiets the mind.

Have you ever noticed how your kids seem to be the epitome of quiet little angels until you are sitting in a quiet place like church, a library, the doctor's office or a choral performance?
Never fails to happen to me and I must confess to allowing my son to play his Game Boy in church with headphones on when I know it is going to be a long service (I figure since the Lord is a parent Himself
With less than a week until the downloadable game platform launches next Monday on Wii, Nintendo has yet to divulge what gamers can look forward to. Final Fantasy: My Life As a King (WiiWare) According to Game|Life, it's looking more and more like Nintendo will only announce a list of launch titles the day of release, on May 12. It would be an anti-climatic debut for sure, but one that's consistent with the low-profile, indie games to be featured on the download service, much like Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Store.In March, Nintendo launched the WiiWare service in Japan. Though American launch titles will likely vary (here's hoping the lovable Lost Winds makes the cut), notable releases in Japan included Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As a King ($15), Dr. Mario and Vir
Brisk Handling and a Stable, Quiet RideWith the new MAZDA2’s chassis, engineers pursued superior dynamic performance through brisk, nimble handling, through stability that inspires confidence even at motorway speeds, and through a ride that’s quiet and feels steady but mild. The lightness and rigidity of the body played an important role in maximizing the handling and ride quality. With regard to handling, engineers targeted manoeuvrability and agility on urban roads, brisk, linear steering response and high grip on winding roads, and superior straight-line stability and confidence-inspiring lane-change behaviour on motorways. To help achieve these targets, various grades of high-tensile steel sheeting give the body superior local rigidity. The light, highly rigid body shell also ensur

When my husband and I were newlyweds there were things that we just did not understand. We often poked fun at those old couples who wore the same shirts whenever they went out. We have since learned that when you have been married for several years you begin to think alike more than you realize.There have been several days when I would emerge dressed only to find my hubby already wearing the same t-shirt or the same color shirt! It actually bothers me enough that I go and change. We never plan to wear the same thing, there are just days when it happens. I find it a bit frustrating but mostly humorous.Just like dressing alike there was another thing we have always tended to notice and say it was never going to happen to us because it is such a sad and horrible thing!

April 30, 2008 Three S'pore residential plots up for sale in quiet market One exec condo site and two 99-year leasehold suburban sites open for bids By Joyce Teo BUYING interest in private homes may be relatively low now, but the Singapore Government is offering developers three new residential sites to consider buying. Two are 99-year leasehold suburban sites, and the other is an executive condominium site. The first - in Woodleigh Close - is seen as an attractive site by property consultants, as it is a short walk from the Potong Pasir MRT station and the yet-to-be-opened Woodleigh MRT station. Developers can build 260 to 290 apartments on the 1.08ha site, which has a maximum gross floor area of 30,167 sq m. Property consultants expect the site to attract bids of $300 to $370 per sq ft

CURRENCY TRADING SUMMARY U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) was reasonably subdued on Monday in the lead up to the Fed’s rate announcement on Wednesday, with the early session dominated more by profit-taking following Friday’s surge, only to recover somewhat in the New York session as favourable U.S sentiment returned. There was no data released on Monday to cause investors to budge on their positions and eyes are now looking forward to Wednesday with the Fed’s rate announcement and GDP figures sure to cause volatility in the market. Warren Buffet joined in on the recession debate on Monday, suggesting the U.S economy was in recession and that the contraction will be deeper and longer than people expect. In U.S share markets the most notable event was Mars’ $23b takeover bid for W

April 26, 2008 Developers hold off launches in quiet market Number of private flats that have not been launched hits three-year high By Joyce Teo DEVELOPERS are so gun-shy of the quiet property market that they are continuing to hold off launching units, creating fears of a supply glut and possible price slump. The pool of unsold, uncompleted private flats that can be launched for immediate sale rose by more than 3,000 units in the first quarter of this year. This brings the number of such units to 10,239, a three-year high, according to Urban Redevelopment Authority figures released yesterday. Of the 10,239 unlaunched flats, 4,824 units were in the core central region, which includes districts 9, 10 and 11. These are areas with high-end properties - the very sort facing lacklustre demand
April 26, 2008 Home prices rise more slowly in quiet market Lower-than-forecast 3.7% growth could signal start of decline By Fiona Chan THE property market may have gone quiet, but home prices continued their steady climb in the first three months of this year, albeit at a much weaker pace. Private home prices rose 3.7 per cent between January and March, down from the 6.8 per cent growth in the previous three months. It was also notably lower than the 4.2 per cent rise that had been predicted early this month, based on sales in the first 10 weeks. This suggests prices may have started declining last month, dragging down the whole quarter. 'Price growth is starting to weaken severely and the volume of transactions has halved,' said Mr Chua Yang Liang, Jones Lang LaSalle's head of South-eas

Voters in the midwest are grumbling now that the Clintons have made Indiana a frequent stopping point for townhall meetings and on-camera appearances. Completely aside from the usual political arguments, it's the company Hillary keeps that has local residents in a tizzy."We haven't seen one shred of evidence that this Global Warming hoo-ha is real, except for that Al Gore guy coming around with his payroll-scientists and political good'ol boys club. But now that Hillary is making the rounds where she knows she'll never set foot again after the election, we've had all kinds of demonic sightings and unnatural phenomenon happening from Chicago all the way down to Kentucky," noted Martha Greeves of Poedunket, Indiana. She referred specifically to the recent bout of earthquakes that have pla
OCALA - In recent years, hybrid-powered vehicles have become mainstream on American roads.Toyota dealer Frank DeLuca said his Ocala dealership was selling three or four Prius hybrid cars a month two years ago. Today, sales are more than 20 a month, he said.With electric motors to supplement gasoline engines, the hybrids can offer better gas mileage and generate less air pollution than their gas-only counterparts.But advocates for the blind say such vehicles pose a potential threat to blind people because of their low noise level relative to gas-powered cars."Blind people are unable to hear them, and of course, hearing [cars] is how we navigate safely and effectively," said National Federation of the Blind spokesman Chris Danielsen. "Blind people cannot hear these vehicles ... There have be

I'm fed up, stressed out, beat down and you know what? I wanna be sedated. A Quiet Time Podcast looks like just the tonic.
"Hidy ho, neighbor!" host Terry Tee says in greeting, and already I'm soothed by the soundtrack of restful acoustic guitar and yes, chirping birds.
"We're going to bring just the thing to help you relax and take a little stress from your life. So sit back and listen to great music," Terry continues. It's working, too, and I'm imagining the tension draining out through the soles of my feet, like I read in a book somewhere. Listen to those chirping birds!
That's just before I'm blasted out of my seat by Terry's featured band, Paul Collins' Beat, fronted by pu

Zack Greinke pitched eight innings of six-hit, shutout ball to lead the Royals to a 4-0 win over the Yankees at Kauffman Stadium. John Buck went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and Jose Guillen had an RBI single as Kansas City improved to 6-and-2. Jimmy Gobble got the final two outs in the ninth for his first save. Kyle Farnsworth gave up Buck's blast in the bottom of the fifth to break up a scoreless game and take the loss. Alex Rodriguez had two of the seven hits for New York, which has lost two straight to fall to 4-and-5.
I read an interesting blog post the other day about how quiet time shouldn’t necessarily be “quiet.” In fact, he states that quiet time should probably be called “noisy time.” One particular quote that stood out to me:

I am worn out.I am tired of the dinner routine we have at our house. Every night is exactly the same. It starts as soon as I start making dinner. Joseph will wander in the kitchen and ask what I'm making. If the answer is anything other than pizza he will start to whine immediately. He'll ask me to fix him something different, he'll demand to "ask daddy" to decide if he has to eat whatever I'm cooking, he'll ask how much of what I'm making he has to eat before he gets something else. When he doesn't get the answers he wants he collapses to the floor and cries. Then he'll pull himself together and recharge himself for battle.When I set the table the whining starts again. Sometimes it's not so bad. Sometimes it doesn't start until I call him to the table. Most nights it starts as soon as he

Written in 1970, this pessimistic time travel novel, a Hugo Award finalist, begins in 1978 when Brain Cheney is more or less drafted into a mysterious government project.

ForexGen lacked motivation in a quiet Asian session. EurUsd bounced around 1.5761 -1.5817 levels while UsdJpy trended sharply upward from 98.82 to 100.18. Friday ended on a mixed note with stock markets weaker due to some weak US data (Michigan index) and energy and commodities price declined slightly. Over the weekend WSJ reported that Treasury Secretary Paulson would announce today "sweeping structural changes in the way the government monitors financial markets" giving the Fed broader authority to secure "market stability." While we are skeptical of giving the Fed such broad powers with very little oversight we are bracing for a resurgence of risk appetite and will be focused on short Jpy trades this week. On this theme the BoJ Tankan report Tuesday will be of interest. Listen

Finally, after a long day of going out shopping, looking for a baby food processor is over! We never find anything though, so ended up ordering it online. And then later, I decided to exchange the short I bought yesterday to the Target store since it was too small, I didn't noticed I was bigger now! lol! Anyway, I went there which suddenly my receipt was gone! I freaked out and I started looking it somewhere but too bad I couldn't find it. So, still I went to the customer service and try to exchange the thing and then thank God they allowed it through their receipt looking up system, they found it. So after that, hubby decided to buy a dress shoes to match up with his suit but too bad we couldn't find any size that fits him. So, we just went to three different stores, and still we neve

...Great article from Mets.com which talks about how an off day is handled by some injured Mets.The article mentions Duaner Sanchez with the following to say:If Sanchez, who still lacks arm strength, can recover quickly enough to pitch three of four times a week -- he isn't there yet -- Smith's chances are reduced. If Sanchez needs work in extended Spring Training or with a Minor League team to restore his stamina, velocity and resilience, Smith's chances improve. That said, Smith will be as interested as anyone in how Sanchez's arm responds to his latest work -- one inning and 23 pitches Monday -- and how the staff responds to Sanchez's tentative plan. "If everything is OK [Tuesday]," Sanchez said, "I'm going to ask them if I can pitch Wednesday. I want to know how my arm will react."CLIC

The front-page of yesterday’s Wall Street Journal carried the article by Michael Phillips entitled “The Last Letter Home: When a soldier falls, commanders face a profound task: Accounting for a lost life to the family.” After I read the article (and wiped away tears), the phrase “the quiet war” popped into my head. At first I didn’t know what this could mean. Then it dawned on me that this was a comparison between Iraq today and Vietnam over 30 years ago. Because today it is an all-volunteer army and there are not frequent mass anti-war protests and because of the multitude of news channels (tv, cable, radio, internet), the reality that the U.S. is fighting a war in Iraq and Afghanistan does not seem as much of an everyday realization for the majority of Americ

I love solitude. Even in my early childhood I liked to go off into another room away from my family and just be alone. Of course I wasn't really alone for I always had the companionship of the angels and spirits of the unseen world. I spent a lot of time back then just listening to them...and I still do so today.My office/meditation area is located back away from the outside noise of the road. Through the window I can look out at pine trees and some native shrubbery. It's in this very quiet setting that I do my writing and have my many connections with the spirit world. One thing though...when I'm writing I have to keep the window blinds closed or I end up sitting in raptured connection with the trees and getting no writing done. Ah...it can be so sweet.Sadly I know that so many people in
I don’t know about you but I find it incredibly distracting that so many contestants keep count during their performances by tapping or flexing their fingers around that oversized wireless microphone (I’ll save the phallic innuendo for another day).It’s almost as annoying as the mandatory sweeping crane shot in every Idol performance, where each week they attempt their best Constantine Maroulis (raise the shoulders, drop the chin, stare through the eyebrow ridge, and slowly lift one corner of your mouth into your best smarm). For total cheese, toss in a wink.Why do they all insist on following the same, horrible patterns? Break out, dog. Be unique!We see “entertainment methods” mimicked all the time. In a music video in 1989, they set the camera looking up with the dude looking d

Call it a Quiet Time Out ...for Grown Ups. No, I haven't been bad. (Well, by that I mean I haven't been bumbling around in my human failing any more so than usual). But I have been asking God to speak to my heart, to speak to the issues I have brought before Him. And I think that before I can hear Him, I have to dial down, quiet my heart, and welcome a silent period where I finally have nothing to say, but a lot to learn.I'm not sure if my husband has noticed that lately I am asking fewer questions when we have our morning coffee. I am not even writing much in my journal. Ideas for books and articles, and for new teaching workshops have quieted down to a whisper.

A quiet sunset or a cool sea breeze-- and you'll start re-thinking whether or not you want to leave our place! Our area has everything you'll need to have a relaxing vacation, from privately owned shops and restaurants to fishing and charter boats. And of cours
To You, Father, I offer my sacrifice -- an offering of praise. Strange as I sit here praising you it doesn't seem to be a sacrifice, but a fulfillment of my life with you. I honor You, Father. I thank you and sing praises to You. I give You everything in my life. The good , bad and ugly. Your name is so sweet!
Whoever searched for this is not at a loss for words, but I am.I don't know how to solve a problem like not being quiet enough. I'm not loud. I don't think. Actually, now that do think about it, everyone that sits by my cube at work has recently started shutting their doors. To get some peace and quiet. I tend to yell a lot at work. You know, the whole "Shouting to Quiet the Thunder" thing...But seriously - someone out there wants to know how to be quiet. I'm going to take a stab at it.1. Time Yourself. Maybe you need to build up a tolerance for it, like learning to hold your breath under water. Start with small increments, like 30 seconds, 1 minute. See how that works.2. Hold your tongue, literally. I know this is sort of a slimy option, but it's very hard to talk while holding your tongu
Paul KleeI thought I'd look at non-traditional composition - where the rule of thirds isn't the key but the painting relies on different compositional methods. in response to an excellent series of posts on the various ways of looking at composition by Katherine (link at end). These alternative considerations or breaking of rules - but making it work - appeal to me more than too heavy a reliance on the rule of thirds.The painting above, by Paul Klee is a 'field' painting' - the composition is overall, the eye travels around enjoying the glowing colour that he creates by juxtaposing complementary colours, subtle greyed greens enhancing the oranges/reds/pinks. Most of the image is composed of the various greens, greeny browns and khakis, with accents of the warm colours. When working this wa
Things are going well around here. All the dogs, all six of them, have settled into a routine and are getting along. Even Chase, our border collie, has accepted Tatum, our new adopted girl, and Tony, our foster boy. Still with six dogs we cannot give the fosters as much attention, and walks, [...]
Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch Cordless SweeperThe Euroshark sweeper is one of the best items I have ever bought. As the video shows, the sweeper is very versatile and useful. It works in either carpet or tiles, although I think it works best in carpets.What it DOES pick up:I have been able to pick up glass, nals, screws, paper, hair, dust, chocolate mix and many more things. This sweeper does pick up all of these things. I once broke a wine glass in the my carpet and the sweeper was able to pick up most of the pieces of glass. It allows me to do a quick sweep of the place to try to keep things neat.What it does not pick up:Crumpled up paper (as in the video), but it does pick up bits of paper.Battery:The battery lasts a surprising long time. Days actually. I charge my sweepe
11 Days and no blogging,For a blog in its early days it may seem that I have given up on blogging but fear no that is not the case.The only gaming done recently has been catch-up gaming finishing and playing more of games that should have been played already and are occupying my "to play more of" pile for far to long.Downloaded the demo for Bizzare Creations "The Club" recently and having played through the prison level once I am yet to be impressed. I have only played it once though and will have to give it another chance but initial impressions are that this will be the second game from Bizzare that I'm disappointed by the first being their second Xbox Live Arcade title Boom Boom Rocket. The only part of the demo i enjoyed was the ridiculous premise and the videos through which it is tol
From: A Day at a Time, Jan. 12: "When I sit quietly and compare my life today with the way it used to be, the difference is almost beyond belief ."I will start by saying that I find little resemblance to the BP (before program) me and the AP (after Program) me. Simply put, I live differently, react to life's challenges differently and care differently. I accept myself and others differently. My relationships with others and with Hashem (G-d) are totally different than they were before I began working the Program. If someone would have told me way back then that all this was possible, I don't think I would have believed them. I can honestly say that I bless the day when I was introduced to the 12 steps, and I am grateful that they have changed my life in such monumental ways.Perhaps it
