Make Christmas plants last for longer
Christmas plants shouldn't be consigned to the compost heap – our expert Karen Murphy explains how to keep them thriving for years to come
Hyacinths, along with poinsettias and other forced bulbs, provide us with a lovely bit of indoor colour over the festive period. But did you know that, dealt with correctly, your indoor Christmas plants can thrive for a number of years?
When your hyacinths have finished flowering, be sure to cut down the untidy flower spikes as you would any flowering bulb, so the plant doesn't put its energy into them any longer and produce seeds. But leaving the foliage on will make sure the sun's rays feed the plant for future years. Put the plant outside in a sunny spot and water and feed it to help its bulbs develop well.
Once the foliage has died back, there are three things you can do. Either lift the bulbs and store them in a dry, dark shed until the autumn, leave them in the pot to lie dormant, or lift them out and replant them in the garden for an annual display in March and April along with your other spring bulbs.
They're not as tender as you might think and will cope with most outdoor conditions, but need to be kept in very well-drained soil or they'll be at risk of rotting.
Keep festive plants happy!
1. Poinsettia
Prune back in spring, repot and leave in a light place at 15°C. In November, give it 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness for it to colour up again.
2. Jasmine
Prune in late winter. Keep above 10°C in winter. You can move it to a sunny patio with shade from midday in the summer. Feed every two weeks in the growing season.
3. Christmas cactus
Reduce watering and temperature to 12°C from now until spring. Feed and water from spring to summer and put outside. Bring inside in September. Cyclamen
4. Cyclamen persicum
After flowering, stop watering and let leaves die. Put in a cool spot for summer. Keep dry and repot if needed. In early autumn, start watering again.

Fresh, Organic Beverage Options in Every Store
At Native Sun, we always focus on the highest-quality ingredients, the freshest organic produce, and products from the best suppliers, this includes our wide range of beverage options available at each of our stores. Read on to learn about just a few of our very favorite beverage options we offer either packaged on our shelves or available at the Juice + Bar.
Chameleon Cold Brew
When it comes to cold brew, it's all about the process. Chameleon cold brew starts with highly select blends of 100% certified organic, free-trade Arabica beans and all-natural flavors. The beans are roasted to maximize freshness and match specific flavor profiles before they enter a 16-hour brewing process. This cold-brew process results in smooth, highly caffeinated, less acidic coffee.
We carry Chameleon's ready-to-drink cold brew products at all three stores and consider them an essential part of our morning routine.
Native Sun Rise and Shine Blend
We partnered with Sweetwater Organic Coffee in Gainesville, Florida, to offer our customers a fair-trade, organic house coffee blend. Sweetwater imports directly from small-scale coffee farmers using a unique, principle-driven supply chain that they helped create. The supply chain, called Cooperative Coffees, is based on common-sense, win-win terms of trade for sourcing some of the world's best organic, specialty-grade green coffee.
Sweetwater is committed to long-term relationships with its coffee farmers, working with them to improve their quality of life, and paying them a fair price for the incredible coffee they work so hard to produce each year.
We love companies that are working hard to improve people's lives. We also love great coffee, and for our partnership with Sweetwater, we selected a small-batch Viennese blend. It's a big-bodied blend of dark- and medium-roast coffees with a rich tobacco aroma, light acidity, and a sweet, nutty flavor with hints of citrus. We're now serving it in stores and have individual bags available for purchase!
Matcha Love
Matcha is a powdered, whole leaf green tea, native to Japan. You can prepare matcha at home with a tea bowl, tea, and a bamboo teaspoon, or you can grab a Matcha Love's ready-to-drink version. Either way, you're getting the feel-good benefits associated with ingesting the whole tea leaf. Matcha is considered a "superfood" linked to cardiovascular health and bone strength because it is packed with antioxidants, flavonoids, and tons of vitamins and minerals. There's also talk of matcha having anti-aging properties.
Guayaki Sparkling Mate
There's sparkling water, and then there's Guayaki Sparkling Mate. These lightly carbonated, effervescent drinks combine fruits and spices with the complexity of yerba mate. Yerba mate is made from the naturally caffeinated leaves of the South American rainforest holly tree. It contains caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, giving it the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate. Unlike tea, yerba mate has low tannin content, meaning that it can give the caffeine kick you expect from a cup of coffee without the bitterness.
If you're looking for a uniquely better alternative to sugary sodas, we highly recommend making room for Mate.
Buchi Kombucha
Buchi Kombucha is a living probiotic beverage made by fermenting black tea. Buchi uses organic, American-grown tea, premium medicinal herbs, and probiotics to create flavorful kombucha steeped in tradition. We serve Buchi's Kombucha on tap and bottled at all three stores.
Don't miss Buchi's Holiday Kombucha, a seasonal blend of cinnamon, cider, vanilla, and clove!

I hope each and everyone of you out there had a wonderful magical Christmas. I suppose we are in that odd holiday purgatory, floating between Christmas and New Year's eve. No one is quite sure what day of the week it is at this point. Bedtimes are nebulous. Eating schedules are all out of whack. The kids and I are currently in Meridian, Mississippi, along with my mother, for a visit. For whatever reason, this only seems to add to the confusion.
I guess when it's all said and done, I haven't had much of a chance to really reflect on Christmas. I know it was busy. I know I spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking. I know that, most importantly, there was no drama. There's one thing that's eating at me – which will be covered in another post at another time – but for now it's just simmering somewhere in the back of my mind. As with anything though, every major event serves to teach me some new lessons. Here is what I have learned this year:
- Children really don't need presents. No matter how hard you work trying to find the perfect gift, at the end of the day, a skein of yarn is just as glorious as a remote-controlled Dinotrux toy.
- It is absolutely possible to double the magic. Stella lost her first tooth on Christmas Eve day, meaning that the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus would both be visiting the same night. I daresay both magical creatures managed to pull it off without stepping on each other's toes.
- Santa Claus really ought to reconsider leaving Nerds candy in stockings. When the boxes spill, which they inevitably will, they become the equivalent of invisible tiny caltrops on the floor. Will is still bitching about tiny bruises on the bottoms of his feet.
- Use your stocking stuffers responsibly. Santa brought Felix some small old style cap-guns in the shape of rockets. Felix promptly named them bombs and the bombs became Precious. They slept with him/us. There's nothing like waking up with a diecast rocket in your armpit. Anyway, apparently the mere ownership of such things turns one into a terrorist. Felix first suggested bombing the chihuahuas next door -not that I can blame him, but next thing I know, he's talking about bombing buildings and bombing people. I can only hope that Bomb won't be a Precious for too much longer.

Monday. Atties. You know you love it.
This week's award is so easy, that I'm almost ashamed to give it. But, I can't help it. This guy has deserved it for a long, long time.
When I first came across this guy, it was an amusing video on his take on pissing against the wall and what's wrong with our country. When I watched this video, I almost passed out from laughing so hard. It's a video that should be shown in all hermenutics classes in seminary on how NOT to use the bible. Heck, forget seminary, it should be shown in every church.
Then, he brought more laughter to my life when he got the crap beat out of him by the Border Patrol. Mostly for being an idiot. Not that advocate police beatings you understand, but something tells me that this guy's mouth might have contributed to it.
Why? Because of this little slice of stupidity. Basically, the good "Pastor" threatens the life of President Obama and talks about how much this "Pastor" hates the president. I was floored when I listened to this guy's sermon. He refuses a biblical commandment to pray for your leaders because he doesn't like Obama's policies. Not only that, but a member of his congregation took a rifle to an anti-Obama rally.
Look, I know that some of you don't like President Obama. It's fine. That's what America is about, the right to dissent. Heck, our country is founded on that very idea. But, to break two biblical commandments (threatening someone's life and refusing to pray for your leaders) while making it seem "godly" is just bad, bad, bad.
And, you will be to and when you do, you'll understand why he deserves an Attie.
So, "Pastor" Steve Anderson of Arizona, come up and get your Attie. It's well deserved.
Ash permalinkAugust 31, 2009 9:42 am
Eeeek! Was that sarcasm or just bad grammar that led you to state that not praying for your leaders (whom you might not even agree with) is WORSE than threatening someones life?
Paul Bell permalinkAugust 31, 2009 10:11 am
Maybe I shouldn't have done, but I emailed the local chief of police about his threat to B-O.
I'm sure his threat won't help his ongoing court case which he details in great detail in his rather funny/disturbing personal blog.
Paul Bell permalinkAugust 31, 2009 10:31 am
The chuch site –
His blog –
Latest headline is a shoutout he got from Alex Jones (says it all)
BTW great Alex Jones debunking site –
The Pastor's twitter feed-
His missus' blog –
This bloke makes 'our' pastor who shall not be mentioned seem sane and reasonable.
Richard Eis permalinkAugust 31, 2009 11:32 am
It looks like the same guy from Pastor Tom's website. For some reason Tom thought that atheists would laugh at a fundie being taken down by the police.
He was being an ass, but it doesn't take 10 guys to arrest a tazed skinny bloke. Funny though that he's happy to advocate violence to someone else he doesn't even know.
These fundies really don't understand hypocrisy.
-But, to threaten someone's life and even worse, refuse a Bibilical commandment to pray for your leaders is just bad, bad, bad.-
It could be read that not praying for your leaders is worse than threatening someones life. I assume thats what Ash was referring to.
August 31, 2009 12:30 pm
But, to threaten someone's life and even worse, refuse a Bibilical commandment to pray for your leaders is just bad, bad, bad.
I think that's what Ash meant. It can be read that you consider not praying for a leader to be worse than actively threatening his life.
Ash permalinkAugust 31, 2009 8:11 pm
Yep, that was the sentence I was referring to, and yeah, it did read badly before. Didn't think you were Pastor Tom crazy though, and now neither will anyone else, so thanks for clearing it up.
Jerome permalinkAugust 31, 2009 8:43 pm
That guy is a serious nutter. I found out about him initially from his "run-in" with immigration services, and I was almost sympathetic to that case, as I've also had some nasty encounters with them. But his subsequent overreaction, and his nutter wife, who is also an anti-vax proponent (but not about autism; more of the New World Order vaccines were manufactured to control us all! Alex Jones OMG reptilians! bent), lost him all understanding. And now his latest fanatical diatribe and imprecatory prayers for the death of a standing president are just way too much.
He and his wife both need to be locked up before they snap.
September 3, 2009 8:58 am
May I request an upcoming Attie be awarded for exceptional hypocrisy? (Ted Haggard comes to mind). I don't think you want mental imbalance to be the only qualification to this honor.
September 6, 2009 3:46 pm
If anyone is interested, the relevant scriptures are:
(Acts 23.1-5 Paul quotes this passage in the context of even obeying an unrighteous ruler )
1 Pet 2.13-
Titus 3.1
Matt 17.24
Matt 22.15-
(same story is also found in Mark 12.13-, and Luke 20.20-)
and especially: Romans 13
Paul was referring to the Roman government in Rom 13 if the Christian is in question tries the 'But this isn't a just government!' reply; Christians have to honor and obey whatever government they live under.
Any Christian who speaks ill of or opposes his government should be repeatedly reminded of these passages til he's sick of them.

Mayors Wellness Celebrates 10th Anniversary in Hillsborough Township
Pictured: Mayor Frank DelCore, Siobhan Spano and Mary Decker
"Hillsborough will renew our commitment to health during the 10th Anniversary Year of the Mayors Wellness Campaign (MWC)," announced Mayor Frank DelCore at Tuesday's Township Committee meeting.
The partnership between Hillsborough and the Mayors Wellness Campaign began 10 years ago in an effort to encourage the local community to get on the path to active living and healthier lifestyles. The Mayors Wellness Campaign is an initiative of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute in partnership with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities. The Mayors Wellness Campaign was started in response to an Institute of Medicine report on rising rates of obesity, so one of the main goals of the MWC is to increase opportunities for New Jersey residents to participate in daily physical activity with a long-term goal of improving overall health and reducing and health care costs. In recent years, Mayors involved with the Campaign have also tackled advance care planning, end-of-life care, smoking cessation, health literacy, and chronic disease management.

Learn How to Offer a Healing Touch to Animals
Certified Reiki Master to provide introduction to Japanese healing technique at local library
Sherri Lynn, a Certified Reiki Master, will provide an introduction to Reiki on Animals at Somerset County Library System of New Jersey's Hillsborough Library branch, located at 379 S. Branch Road.
During the program, Lynn will provide a general introduction to Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique, and will talk about the benefits of this healing technique on animals. Participants are invited to bring photos of their own animals for distance healing, if time allows.
"Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember," said Lynn. "In addition to caring for my own cats, dogs, hamsters, and goldfish growing up, I enjoyed visiting anyone with pets - especially my grandfather and his pet skunk! I also enjoyed visiting farms and zoos. As an adult, I have developed a keen eye for wildlife while hiking or just driving down the road. With each animal that shows up in my life, I am reassured that this is the work I'm meant to be doing. And I am excited to be sharing this gift with others. Few things are as rewarding as looking into the soul of an animal."
"The benefits to animals receiving Reiki are endless," Lynn further explained. "I have witnessed dramatic physical, emotional and behavioral improvements after just a single treatment."

Plants are like children. They need to be outdoors and enjoy the nice sunny days of spring and summer. They need proper nutrition to grow and flourish. Most importantly, being a couch potato will do them great harm. Plants are like children, but unlike people nutrition and health for plants comes from sunlight.
Having adequate sunlight is the equivalent of plentiful food and good exercise. Poor sunlight is like a diet of bread and water while being jailed. If you want to keep your plants green and healthy make sure they have the right light. If you want to maintain plants indoors this means you face very specific challenges that are best addressed by auxiliary lighting.
Basic Care & Lighting
Let's go back to the basic biology. Plant and animal cells both have mitochondria which produce energy as needed by breaking down complex carbohydrates. Plant cells uniquely contain chloroplasts which use the materials in water and carbon dioxide to produce those carbohydrates. In order to make this chemical change, however, the plants require light. Brighter white light, containing a full spectrum of colors is best. While some plants have varying abilities to live in less light to one degree or another all plant life, indeed all life is dependent on the sun to power our bodies.
Indoor Bonsai Tree Lighting
So your plant needs to get the proper amount of light, even though you might grow it indoors. In order to properly care for your plants, first determine what their light requirements are. For some plants normal office and home lighting is enough. Others may require much more. Depending on your exact requirements you can determine what kind of lighting is required or choose plants which will thrive in your current environment. A variety of indoor plant lights & grow bulbs are available to help you meet that requirement. Bulbs come in every variety from spectrum specific, to intensive or even moderate light.
Where To Place Your Bonsai Tree
Depending on the layout of our room, it might be best to arrange your plants and lights away from common seating and foot traffic. Plants and people often require different lighting levels and mixing the two can be uncomfortable. Bright lights create glare for your workers and customers. Especially in a room decorated with glass or chrome the reflection from the lights can be difficult. Also keep in mind that TV and computer screens require dimmer lights in order to prevent glare and eye strain. Bright lights in the wrong place causes more problems than beautiful plants can solve.
Finally, there are some things to think about when displaying your plants. Remember that especially extreme lighting will fade furniture, wallpaper and carpets over time. By segregating the plant life into a single area you can limit the damage as well as create an attractive foliage display. Trim the area with small deterrent walls. These will help to protect the plants and avoid placing anyone in the glare of high intensity lights. Use hydroponic trays to catch excess water and avoid reflections by placing rocks around the plants in the tray.
Taking care of your bonsai tree requires patience and diligence. If you are interested in reading more about bonsai tree care and proper techniques in the placement, lighting and watering of your bonsai tree, visit BonsaiTreeGardener.net – The Best Online Guide To Bonsai Trees. This website also offers trees, bonsai tree products and accessories for sale.

One of the best things I spent money on this year is Netflix. For only $12 a month, I have access to amazing films! So, friends, this is a list of the 10 best documentaries I watched this year on Netflix. I've learned a lot. I can't wait to learn more.
A Thread
1. Three Wives, One Husband.
For some, polygamy is strange. This documentary follows a tight-knit community in the US (where polygamy is illegal), their lives, their marriages, their joys, etc. You'll recognize how normal the strange lives of 'different' people are. #YearOfTen
2. Dirty Money.
Looking up to some big companies? Think again. This documentary exposes some dirty things companies have done to make more money or trick their customers. From VW's 'clean engines' to maple syrup thieves in Canada to Trump's fraudulent university.
3. The Story of God.
I dream of hosting a documentary like this one day. Morgan Freeman goes around the world looking at how different religions describe things. Death, salvation, burial, faith, food, where did we come from? It is wanderlust plus curiosity!
4. Trump: An American Dream.
Ever wondered how the world got to this place? How Donald Trump became president of the US? How such a con(fidence) man walked his way from a real estate family in New York to the highest throne in the free world? You'll love this one.
5. Drug Lords.
The illegal drug industry is so big, it is estimated to be 1% of the world's GDP. So who are the people who run this industry? You'll never believe how much they resemble you and me. The series shows how they rose, reigned and fell...
6. Making a Murderer.
This will make you angry. Then curious. Then confused. The police department in a small town framed a man for murder and sent him to prison. He was acquitted and sued the department. Then, mysteriously, someone else died on his property. Huh?
7. 13th!
This brilliant work exposes the prison industrial complex in the US and reveals why the prisons are getting fuller as prisons in other developed countries are becoming empty. Oh, and people of color are disproportionately affected. There's a reason.
8. First and Last.
Have you ever wondered what happens when someone goes to jail? How about their last day in jail? This documentary shows the first and last days in jail of arrested persons. The fear, the games, the tricks, the mistakes, the joy, everything!
9. History will record Barack Obama as the coolest president in American history...so far. So who would turn down an opportunity to travel with him on his final year as president of the US? I didn't...and I am so glad I watched this. Cool isn't accidental, FYI.
10. Whitney: Can I Be Me?
I loved Whitney Houston. I cried when she died. I prayer for her baby every day till she died. I recognize the legend of 'The Voice' but all the cards were stacked up against her. Her gift was her voice, her curse was the fame.
11 - Bonus - Kardashian: The Man Who Saved OJ Simpson.
You've heard about OJ Simpson. You've heard about his infamous case. You've also heard about the Kardashian women - Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. But did you know the role their father played in OJ's murder trial?
I watched so many documentaries on Netflix this year. These are only 11 of my favorite ones. What about you? What documentary is a must-see on Netflix? Please share. Also, if you have any list of 10 things to share from this year, we'd love to read from you!

Here are some tips to help determine which house is best for you.
Once you've settled on a couple of preferred neighborhoods for your home search, it's time to pick out a few homes to view. Having a house features "wish list" keeps you focused on which features are most important to you.
When narrowing down your home search, consider the following:
There are several types of houses: single-family homes, multiple-family homes, Detached house, Semi-Detached House, Attached or Row House or a Townhouse.
Single-family homes: This is a house that can be any type but that only houses one family.
Multiple-family homes: Some buyers, particularly first-timers, start with multiple-family dwellings, so they'll have rental income to help with their costs. Many mortgage plans can be used for buildings with up to four units, if the buyer intends to occupy one of them.
Detached House: This type of home is often the most preferred but is also the most expensive. A detached house offers the advantage of not being attached to another home. It keeps you totally in control of your home.
Semi-Detached House: This type of house is more common and there is usually more available. One things to consider when looking at a semi-detached home is the construction of the house. If the house is only Brick front that will mean that the dividing wall will more than likely not be Brick. Most houses that are brick all the way around would more than likely have a brick wall separating the two houses. This is always a good question to ask your home inspector.
Attached or Row House: This type of house is shares both sides of the house with another house. There are some definite things to keep in mind when looking at these types of houses. The biggest is that you will have to cart your gardening equipment through the house along with the weekly garbage pick up. Most people don't think of this when they are getting excited about their new potential home.
Townhouses: Townhouses are often either Semi-detached or Row house.
Weigh your needs, budget and personal tastes in deciding whether you want to buy a newly constructed home, an older home or a "fixer-upper" that requires some work.
Consider Resale Potential
As you look at homes, you may want to keep in mind these resale considerations.
Make a wish list to clarify which features are most and least important to you when looking for a home. Using this wish list will keep your house hunt focused and effective.
While house hunting, it's a good idea to make notes about what you see because viewing several houses at a time can be confusing. Use a home comparison chart to help you keep track of your search, organize your thoughts and record your impressions.
Before you begin the home buying process, resolve to act promptly when you do find the right house. Every REALTOR® has stories to tell about a couple who looked far and wide for their dream home, finally found it, and then said, "We always promised my Dad we'd sleep on it, so we'll make an offer tomorrow." Many times the story had a sad ending - someone else came in that evening with an offer that was accepted.
Resolve that you will act decisively when you find the house that's clearly right for you. This is particularly important after a long search or if the house is newly listed and/or underpriced.

The Best Hairdresser in London: Ross McLaughlan at Jones & Payne
I've been asked "what do you do to make your hair look like that?" since my teens. Most don't believe me when I say "nothing". I have never coloured my hair - my bountiful head of "highlights" are a natural wonder of gene mixing from my Dad's dark Asian hair, and my Mum's Eastern European blonde ringlets. I barely brush it (I have been told I need to improve on that). I chuck my hair head upside for 3 minutes with a hairdryer, and smooth out my fringe. That's it. When anyone asks me what can they do to have healthier hair, I always say "leave it alone!" and I stand by it! Of course, for special days, I'll make an effort with some styling - and a blue moon sees my having a blow-dry - but I lucked out in the hair department admittedly. I don't say that nonchalantly - we all have our loved/less loved features. The flip side to great hair was having horrific acne through my teens and twenties (see my post about Debbie Thomas here)
I have a lot of hair, it's big, it's wavy, and I'm very particular about anyone touching it - But even low maintenance hair like mine needs a decent cut to shape, keep the bulk down and trim dead ends. I go about twice a year to my hairdresser to have an actual cut.
I've had my run of bad hairdresser experiences (think one side lopped off shorter than the other, thus an epic amount of lock loss to balance it) so, I've have always been very tentative about anyone being allowed to slice it. The chain salons were often nightmares - they never did anything I asked for - and seem to think charging even for water is the height of customer service. Conversely, I have been to some highly lauded establishments and had an awful time, where the pretentiousness outweighed the results.
It was a bit of good luck that I found Jones & Payne hair salon back when it started in Shoreditch and I was still working at Thomson Reuters in my media-fin-tech days. It was a gorgeous environment of exposed brick, opulent mirrors and sofas. The kind of place where, even if I were not having a haircut, I would like to come and have a cup of tea just to flip through some glossies and get some headspace (I didn't do that by the way). They love their clients and want them to feel at home: tea, coffee, fresh juices or even a sparkling bellini is all part-and-parcel of their wonderfully welcoming service.
Jones & Payne is where I discovered the capable and confident hands of a certain Ross Mclaughlan - Senior Stylist and a man who loves cutting and styling long tresses. Since we met, there has been no one else. It's a bit of a hair-love-affair: I have the kind of trust in his ability where I can say "make magic happen please" - and he does, every time. That, and I love his personality and constant hilarious-but-non-BS banter. Whether you're going classic or wanting something edgy, Ross knows hair. OK, it can take a really long time - sometimes we're looking at 2 hours by the time my hair is styled and good to go - and I am sure it leaves Ross wanting to bang his head against a nozzle sometimes even if he says he doesn't - but the end result is always something I look forward to. It's an event in itself.
Jones & Payne opened their St. Martin's Lane, Covent Garden, outpost a couple of years ago, and that's where I usually go for convenience, being an otherwise West London native (when I'm not hopscotching the earth). I love the environment here and all the team - it's stylish and classy without pretence. They are in the business of giving everyone an amazing personal experience - not just a hair cut [and/or colour]. Whenever anyone asks me who do I recommend for hair, I always say "go and see Ross at Jones & Payne." My reasons are not unfounded - this guy is booked to high heaven during fashion weeks.
Seeing Ross is one my most favourite occasions. It's one of my "best things in life" that make me happy and my world that little bit more lovely - that's why I want to share it with everyone. Truthfully, if I could have a blow dry every month I would. Alas, I am still hopscotching. Whether you are in London, or visiting London, get an appointment with Ross - or indeed with any of the capable Jones & Payne team - in your diary. It really is the best hairs salon in London town. Whether you have something glamorous to attend to post styling or not, you will leave feeling nothing short of amazing.

When David and I moved to this area, we found that many people were interested in Ananda and the spiritual path.
They were enthusiastic and had sincere intentions: "I'm going to take classes, learn Kriya Yoga, and come to service every Sunday."
I could feel that they were absolutely resolved to do it, and then I wouldn't see them again, or they wouldn't return for years.
It reminded me of the many times I had thoroughly intended to do this or that, and then something happened and it didn't turn out that way.
There's often a big divide between our aspirations and our reality. We're completely sincere in wanting to reach for the highest, because there's a sure, intuitive knowing in us that God has implanted there – we know that if we follow that subtle God-given impulse, our heart's desires will be fulfilled.
It's the part of us that completely understands Jesus' words, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
We visualize ourselves marching in a straight line toward our shining goal. And then we find, to our bewilderment, that we've moved sideways, and we may have drifted far from where we intended to go.
Lately, I've had what people kindly call senior moments, where my aging brain shorts out on me.
As I was putting in an earring the other day, I looked at another pair and thought, "Those are pretty – I don't wear them often enough." And five or six hours later I realized that I was wearing one earring from one set and one from another.
I don't mind being embarrassed, but there was no moment at which I could remember making that decision. It was as if I had fallen asleep and gotten dressed in that state.
David and I were giving the Festival of Light, and I suddenly realized that I was reading his part. I asked him later, "What happened?" He said, "I don't know. I paused and you took over." He was very kind about it, but there was no point when I decided, "I think I'll muscle in and take David's lines." God knows what made me do it.
Now, these are trivial examples, but they're part of a pattern that we can observe in our lives. "I'll follow this path." And then something else happens.
The point is that whether we succeed or fail on the path isn't ultimately a question of how many times we behave like idiots, but of what we do after we behave like idiots.
Durga Mata, a senior disciple of Yogananda, used to say, "The first thought isn't yours." It's what we do with the second thought that matters.
We often talk about how wonderful it is to live in an Ananda community, among friends who support our high ideals.
It creates powerful bonds between us to be walking this path together. But another thing about living in a spiritual community is that everybody knows all about you, and the longer you live together, the more they know. They may witness the moments that you aren't the most proud of. And then you can't simply run away, because there's a God-given bond with your gurubhais that will endure over many lives.
If you aren't living in a spiritual community, you can get divorced, lose your job, and make a complete fool of yourself, and you can move to another city and start over. But at Ananda, you can't. You're certainly free to leave, but you'll just end up missing your gurubhais and feeling that you've lost your true spiritual family.
A friend of mine did something that people were all abuzz about, because it wasn't his shining hour.
He walked up to me and said, very charmingly, "Well, what do you think about what happened?"
It took courage, because it wasn't easy to be so open and trusting, and I wasn't part of his close circle.
Then he said, "I consider my spiritual liberation a community project."
It took humility and courage, because we do have our pride. But it was the right attitude. Because success on the path is a question of deciding that even if difficult tests come, and even if I make a fool of myself – why make it worse by covering myself with shame, and hiding my face and feeling that "I can't go to church anymore, and I can't live here anymore, because everyone knows."
A friend of mine had an embarrassing cycle that left him feeling uncomfortable about himself, and with the way he thought others were defining him.
He said to me, "I just can't be here anymore!"
I said, "Look – straighten your spine, lift your chin, look people in the eye, and in two days no one will remember."
And it's true. Because when we're up close with ourselves, we think we're so terribly important. But the truth is that people aren't all that interested, because they're engrossed in their own reality.
We need to face our tests courageously, and with a constant sense of our long-range goal. The only reason we're uncomfortable is because of the little ego's desire to look good. But if we didn't have a pile of weird and embarrassing karma, we wouldn't be living on this earth. The odds are that if you're living on this planet, you aren't a liberated being. So I feel justified in including all of us in what I'm saying.
People move into our communities, and sometimes they'll become disillusioned, because they see things happening that aren't "supposed" to happen in a spiritual place.
People lose their tempers, couples get divorced, and we realize that the people for whom we have the highest regard are less than perfect. Surprise, surprise!
And then it makes people second-guess their decision to come here. "Maybe this isn't a true path. Maybe this isn't the place for me."
Naturally, we want to hold out for the best. But the reality is that it isn't a question of what people are doing wrong, but of how they're responding to it.
Are they getting stuck in some terrible self-definition, letting it take them over and guide their actions? Or are they working hard to become better? Are they working toward God-realization, starting where they are?
In our schools, where the environment is so amazingly positive and supportive, the parents will sometimes question whether the children are getting a real experience of life, and whether we're shielding them too much from reality?
I always say, "No such luck!" Because each child brings into that nurturing environment their own unique karma and their own destiny. And what we offer in our school is a genuine, mature, spiritually grounded way of dealing with what we are and learning to see ourselves honestly, so that we can move forward with self-acceptance and full confidence and energy and joy.
And that, of course, is the path of Self-Realization – to recognize that in my deepest reality I am the Infinite Spirit, and that I will someday be God-realized, even if some dramatic things may happen along the way. And when they happen, let me be amused. Or if I can't be amused, let me be a little bit detached, because these things don't define me.
There's a passage in the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna tells us that delusion is of three kinds: it's like smoke from a fire, like rust on a mirror, and like an embryo in the womb.
It's a deeply meaningful passage, with highly practical applications that can help us understand ourselves and what we need to do to move forward and grow closer to God.
In the Bible, Christ tells us that no matter how difficult our problems are, we can always call on God – "Lord, save me!" – and God will surely come and help us.
But many of us have trouble saying "Lord, save me!" Because we're terribly afraid to open our hearts and talk to God with humble sincerity. And if we aren't able to create that childlike relationship, it can make us feel distanced from God, and it can tempt us to think that this path isn't working, and maybe it isn't for us after all.
But it's extremely useful to understand the type of delusion that is ours, so that we can accept ourselves and start doing the right spiritual work.
For some of us, our delusions are barely a wisp of karma – as the Gita quaintly puts it, there's just a little bit of smoke obscuring the light, and it takes only a little puff to blow the smoke away and reveal the fire burning brightly.
But for some of us, our delusions are like rust on a mirror, and we have to scrub hard to remove them. And then your arm gets tired, and it can require that you develop real spiritual strength.
Your cleaning fluid runs out, and you go to the store, and you forget why you went there. And then you get a product that doesn't work, and you find that the dog has walked on the mirror, and all sorts of things happen to help you develop strength and perseverance. And you have to accept that this is your karma, and that it's your natural spiritual work at this time, and that you have to keep at it.
We have to understand what the Bhagavad Gita is saying. It's telling us not to be depressed or downcast by the spiritual work that we have to do. "Don't worry about it! This is simply the way it is. The rust will come off in due time. Your divinely appointed duty, for now, is to work hard to scrub it away."
This is the level of spiritual development where our delusions cling to us like rust on a mirror. It's a karma that requires lots of "scrubbing" before we're free. We may have to work on these karmic qualities for years, repeating the same lessons over and over.
Swamiji was so patient with us in this process. He never said, "It's about time you got that mirror clean!"
Toward the end of his life, he gave me some advice as if it had only then occurred to him for the first time – even though he had said the same thing to me at regular intervals for many years. And each time he would say it as if he had only just thought of it.
It was lovely, because it gave me the opportunity to deal with it completely fresh. I had scrubbed the mirror as far as I could, and I couldn't go farther. And then Swamiji would pick it up and hand it to me as if it were completely new. I don't think it was calculated on his part – he didn't think up these things with his mind. Rather, it was guided by his inspiration from Master and God.
We were in Italy, traveling with our Ananda choir. Swamiji sang at every performance, and my little assignment was to keep his clothes ironed. There was a sports jacket that he wore, and after each concert I would iron it carefully, and then I would hang it up, and I would come back later and realize that it was still wrinkled. It was very confusing, and it wasn't until the last performance that I realized there were two identical jackets, and as I ironed one he would be wearing the other.
It's a silly example. But you never know how thick the rust is until you've worked on it for a long time, and you begin to see the shining mirror underneath.
Some of the karmas we have to scrub away aren't easy. We resolve, "I won't hold a grudge. I won't be jealous. I won't be angry. I won't react. This time I'll be calm no matter what happens."
And then for the umpteenth time you realize that you've slid backwards. And the point is that it doesn't matter. What matters is what you do next. You simply need to keep working, even though you don't know when you'll be done.
There are delusions that are so deep that we can't get our hands on them – they are like the baby in the womb, and it will only come out at its proper time. Swamiji said, "Fight the battles that you stand a good chance of winning." He advised us to put the out-of-reach delusions on the shelf until we've developed the strength to deal with them.
We plead with God, "But I'm a good devotee. You must take away karma soon!" And, very often, it's no use at all, because those karmas can only be resolved with the right amount of time and effort. And we must find the courage and acceptance not to become downcast or depressed about it. Because God knows our difficulties, and He only wants us to have complete faith that His love is with us always, and faith that we'll become free if we will just put one foot in front of the other.
Paramhansa Yogananda said, "I don't expect you to overcome your tests. I just expect you to resist."
We can't be better than we are. Swamiji said that if we can't resist temptation by turning our back on it forever and walking away, we can at least resist mentally.
Even in the act of doing what you know you shouldn't do, hold back a part of yourself. Even if I'm behaving like a complete idiot today, with part of my mind I know that someday I'll be able to behave with wisdom.
When you stumble, think of it as one less time it will happen, and one more chance to gradually build a resolve that will, in time, be strong enough to overwhelm the unwelcome tendency.
Swami says, "If you don't give energy to your mistakes, then when their energy runs down, you'll be free."
Refusing to give energy to your mistakes doesn't mean that you'll never fall. It means that you shouldn't let your mistakes define you. And that's a big difference.
I may do things that I don't believe in, and that I don't want to commit myself to, but I'm not defined by them. I'm committed to merging my consciousness with my own perfect nature and becoming God-realized. I'm committed to becoming a perfect expression of God.
I don't always live up to my aspirations. No surprise! Why kid ourselves? We don't always live up to our ideals. But as Swamiji reminded us, our aspirations are the part of us that most truly defines us.
Swamiji said, "If you judge yourself, which I don't recommend, realize that you are energy in motion, and that anything that you can see in yourself is already behind you. And what you really are is the direction your energy is going."
Define yourself more by your aspirations, because they are your reality. What you aspire to, where your heart is, that is what you will become. And never give up.
Who cares if others are streaking ahead and seemingly doing much better than you? It doesn't make any difference, if you simply refuse to give up. This is God's law. If you give up, you'll just have to start over again. Because you can never leave the spiritual path.
Don't let yourself dwell on what has gone wrong. Think, "What can I do to move forward?" In that thought, God will hold your hand, direct you on your path, and cheer your efforts. The divine truth is that we are heroes and heroines of a great story of courage and divine destiny.
(From Asha's talk at Sunday service on August 24, 2003.)

Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered. Every family, friend and loved one is in our minds today on this special day. Many of our sisters have family members and loved ones who have served or are currently serving. Read below to learn about Michaela Svaranowic's amazing Grandparents who served for our country!
"Today marks a special day of remembrance to honor those who have died in military service. As a proud Army brat, today is a little extra special for my family as we all take a moment to remember those family members who have since passed away after their years of service. In particular, I would like to take this time to honor my grandmother, Josephine Lemme, and my grandfather, Angelo Lemme, both whom have served in the United States Marines. During the Vietnam War, my grandfather earned the Navy Marine Corps Medal for Heroism during his heroic actions in 1965 in Chu Lai, Vietnam, when he saved a pilot from a burning fighter jet during a hot refueling mission. Although his heroic actions greatly threatened his life, he continued to be prideful to serve his country. My grandparents taught me the extreme honor it is to serve this great country and what it truly means to be apart of a lifelong team."
We are all so blessed to live in this free country, because of the sacrifices that brave men and women take, and today we thank those service members and their families. We can't thank families like the Svaranowic's for their service to our country. Alpha Phi wishes all families and friends a wonderful Memorial Day! 🇺🇸
"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." -Joseph Campbell


text: This was a cute situation comedy that starred Gale Storm, with Charles Farrell as her father and Gil Stratton, Jr., as her boyfriend, Freddie. Nicely done and enjoyable. I recommend it. Like many radio shows of the period, there was a parallel series on early television, and reportedly in this case the TV program came first.

We are here for that half-tiled wall.
When it comes to pulling off a big-impact look with minimal square footage, you have to be strategic. From playing with pattern, to bold color, to making your room feel way larger than it actually is—these are the chicest powder room ideas around. Need ideas for your larger bathrooms? We've got that, too.
While this much pattern might feel a bit much for your master bath, it's totally fun in a powder room. Contrast your floor and your wall so it doesn't feel too matchy-matchy.
See more at Veneer Designs.
A floating sink means more room for storage underneath—or more free visual space if you want your room to appear larger.
See more at Amber Interiors.
Make your powder room stand out with a fun tile. Tile half of your wall so it doesn't feel too overwhelming.
See more at Emily Henderson.
Brass accents, shiplap, and a neutral color palette—Joanna Gaines would totally approve.
See more at Amber Interiors.
Can't decide on a color? Choose two! This two-toned wall is actual goals.
See more at Nicole Franzen.
A small space can feel chaotic, fast—especially if you're using bold pattern. Keep to a neutral palette and you can get away with a lot more.
See more at Erin Gates Design.
You know the drill—all white everything tricks you into thinking the space is larger than it is. Put this in use in your powder room with white walls and a white vanity.
See more at Lark & Linen.
The space is super small, so play it up with moody lighting. The less natural light, the better this works.
See more at Erin Gates Design.
Is there any combo more classic? We're obsessed with this super sexy powder room.
See more at Black Lacquer Design.
You aren't using it to get ready in the morning, so you don't need a super functional mirror. Play with mirror shapes for a more interesting powder room.
See more at Erin Gates Design.
Summery blue and white stripes transform a powder room by a pool into a tented beach cabana. The stripes on the ceiling mimic a peaked roof and help fool the eye into seeing a taller, loftier space.
Without the moisture and humidity from a shower to worry about, you can show off an antique, like this grandfather-style clock. Ideal for filling a narrow span of wall, the timepiece complements the nattiness of the tailored bands of black paint.
Since there's no need to stash everyday necessities under a powder room sink, the vanity is liberated from its storage task and becomes strictly a statement piece. A Lucite-framed mirror in a zingy yellow continues the theme of transparency.
When used in such a small space, this silk ikat wallcovering's large-scale print seems energizing rather than overwhelming. The 1820s French mirror's reverse-painted frame keeps the graphic patterns coming.
Fitted with a marble top and an undermount basin, an 18th-century Swedish mahogany commode morphs into a vanity. Strips of antique ikat fabric, applied like wallpaper, keep the look current.
The geometric lines of latticework pop even more thanks to two-toned paint. The walls are painted in Dix Blue and the treillage in Plummett, both by Farrow & Ball.
Here, chicken wire installed in place of glass cabinet doors ups the country feel and shows off stacks of fresh towels.
Even the pattern-averse can get on board with a monochrome print. The powder room of a New York colonial features Farrow & Ball's Lotus wallpaper, but navy swirls look just as nice.
Sometimes, two tiles are better than one. The radiating patterns in this worldly space also echo a vintage pendant and starburst-shaped sink.
A powder room behind a staircase embraces its tininess and becomes a moody, exotic jewel box with allover Moroccan fretwork. The perforated panels allow light to filter in while camouflaging less-than-perfect walls.
In an opposites-attract powder room, a shared palette prevents the glam leopard-print wallpaper and pharmacy-style metal vanity from clashing. The distressed mirror with coral-pink streaks doesn't see daily use, so it serves mostly to inject color into the bold but limited color scheme.
For a powder room this small, a mirror hung at an angle above a corner sink maximizes every inch (and clutter can be stashed behind the fabric skirt). The Wedgwood plates and round accent table help counteract the boxiness, and add charm.
The combination of a few luxe touches—Baguès-style sconces, an intricately carved Italian Baroque mirror, an antique French-limestone floating vanity—creates old-world elegance and a sense of luxury without leaving the house.
Creamy whites and solid black get an interesting edge in a Mediterranean-inspired home. An antique chest's curved lines contrast the graphic tiles original to the room.
Save wallpaper scraps from a previous project for instant art. Framed fragments of Gracie's Georgian Tea Trade wallpaper look just like landscape paintings in a South Carolina home's powder room.
Sleek features are adornment enough for lacquered maple paneling and cabinetry, as designer David Easton proves in this tribute to luxe modernity.
The oversize motifs of floral wallpaper and a geometric mirror punch up a tiny room by designer Meg Braff. Liberal dashes of white keep everything light and airy in this Hamptons home.
Paint makes the big statement here, giving a narrow space the depth of sea and sky. Designer Sally Markham chose a gloss finish to catch sunshine, or lantern light.
This iron garden ornament was brought indoors by designers Bobby McAlpine and Susan Ferrier. A stone platform raises the urn's inset basin to conventional sink height.

When it comes to friendships and relationships, it is sometimes hard to let a person go. It becomes even more difficult when someone has been in your life for a while. No matter who we are, we have all had that one person that we did not want to let go of because of certain reasons. Although this is normal, it is unhealthy and toxic to your life.
It seems to be easier to recognize when a friend or family member is holding on to a relationship that is toxic. However, it is difficult for us to recognize it to be unhealthy for ourselves. The biggest reason why most people hold on to bad relationships and friendships is because of fear. At one time or another, all of us have had the fear of being alone or lonely. The negative effect of that is the reason why some people are in the situations they are in today.
One of the ways to identify if a relationship is toxic to your life is to look at your behavior. If you are mistreating people or giving off negative energy, it is because you have not let go of something that is toxic in your life. Oftentimes, we can hold on to relationships mentally, and not physically. Forgiveness is something that has to be done not only to have peace, but also to detoxify your body of any hurt you may have received from the individual.
Holding on to toxic relationships can also cause you to date different people with the same characteristics. Have you ever wondered why that friend is always being cheated on or disrespected by their significant other? It is because they are mentally dating the person that initially hurt them.
As a friend or family member, it is hard to watch someone go down the wrong path with relationships. However, it is important to not bash them. This can cause an individual to feel as though that is a situation they have to stay in. Sometimes it is even best to love them at a distance. However, it is best to let them figure it out on their own. Remember, we have all been in a situation that we had to grow on.
The best part of letting go is that it is a fresh start. Once you purge yourself of the negativity, you will start seeing changes in your life. However, it all begins with that you. If you are not willing to change or feel rejuvenated, no one can make you.

First, an overview of how these will typically work. Just about every week has an assigned reading from the Mark Briggs textbook, Journalism Next. In addition, I'll typically put up a post here (usually by Thursday) with some links to online readings. You are required to post a response to these readings no later than 10a on Monday (before class; in weeks with no Monday class, your response is due at 10a Tuesday). You'll post your response as a comment in reply to the Read & Respond blog post (like this one).
Your response MUST address the week's Briggs chapter and should add some elements from the online readings. You don't need to cite all the links, but you need to connect them (or other examples) to Briggs for full credit. Keep these short and to-the-point (they're only worth 2.5 points), but do cover your bases.
Now on with this week's assignment.
As the syllabus says, you'll be reading Briggs' introduction and chapter 1. As you work to develop your blog's focus, Briggs offers some suggestions. Chief among them: "It's not about you." What can you write about that gets beyond yourself and meaningfully adds to the ongoing conversation? See what examples you can draw from the links below to bolster your ideas.
Why blogs and journalism need each other (note: This is OLD – from 2003! – so consider how its argument has held up over time)
The Case Against News We Can Choose
You will need to respond to these readings in a comment on this post no later than 10a on Tuesday, January 20 (no class on Monday). A few things to make sure of:
- Post as your WordPress identity so I know who you are.
- Specifically address the readings, but don't just summarize – build on them!

...to live in One Mind and One Heart on the Way to God.
In less than one month, new Augustinian Novices will be professing their first vows. These "simple" or "temporary" vows are not only their first vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but they are also vows to the Augustinian Order.
That is why we reflect on St. Augustine's writing in the Rule of Augustine when he writes:
We profess these vows because they emphasize our commitment to living in community on our journey toward God. We Augustinians profess vows over the Rule of Augustine and the Augustinian Constitution.
To give you a better idea...
We created this 3-minute video of three Augustinian Novices professing their first vows. We hope you enjoy. It offers reflections from two Augustinian Provincials (religious superiors) about what its like to live a life as a religious. We hope you enjoy!
Have any questions?
What's it like to profess vows? What were you afraid of? How did you come to the decision to join religious life? Enter them in the comments below!
The Augustinians will continue to pray for your continued discernment!

My cunning plan to minimize the effort of posting while on vacation is to
steal from help publicize other blogs. First up is Lily from theblackleatherbelt who recently wrote these very wise words…
This is something I learned from having sex with women: the fact that THERE WAS NO TIMELINE was a complete revelation. We could make out, fuck, have a sandwich, do some stuff that would look like foreplay in another context, fuck some more, talk, then do it all over again. There was no standard kissing > petting > other assorted foreplay > penetration > the end sequence going on, at all, and the way that increased the quality of the sex is impossible to put words to.
Her whole post was a good one, but this part particularly spoke to me. I've always been a fan of the journey rather than the destination. Except when the journey involves flying in economy. In that case, unless the destination features Beelzebub and all his hellish minions, it's always better to arrive than to travel.
But in the case of sex, when the journey is just so much fun, it always seems a shame when it's over. I wonder if that's a view more commonly held by kinky people, and particularly submissive guys, than the general populace? After all we're used to extended sexual play. Bondage takes time. Endorphins don't flow instantly. Tease and denial, edging and chastity are all popular kinks with submissive men. Personally I'd always take a couple hours of relaxed kinky fun over a few minutes of wham bam thank you ma'am.
The picture is from the Food, Fucking and Femdom tumblr. I have to say that as tumblr titles go, that's a pretty good one. Throw in books and cocktails and you'd have my idea of heaven.

"I don't sing because I'm happy, I'm happy because I sing" - William James
|From StarTalkRadio.net
...on November 7, I heard the two-year old Marquee Five perform a show called "8-Track Throwback," a five-part harmony homage to the music of the 1960s and '70s. In Marquee Five, I knew I'd found my Manhattan Transfer for the new millennium..."Marquee" is the appropriate moniker for this group of smooth, synchronized and powerful singers who seamlessly blend together for a magical musical brew. There's little doubt their names will be showcased above a theater entrance somewhere very soon.
