Getwaway driver in $48,000 Greenwich purse theft gets 1 year in jail
STAMFORD—A Mount Vernon getaway driver who helped steal over $48,000 worth of expensive pocket books from an upscale Greenwich department store was sentenced to a year in jail Tuesday.
As part of a plea deal at the Stamford courthouse, Joshua Spillman, 41, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of conspiracy to commit larceny in the first-degree and was sentenced by Judge Gary White to one year in jail and three years probation. Spillman was originally charged first-degree larceny and conspiracy.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Maureen Ornousky said Spillman was behind the wheel of a car on Jan. 15, 2019, when at least two other men went into Saks Fifth Avenue and stole $48,370 worth of purses.
Ornousky said Spillman brought the men to the store and waited for them steal the purses and drove them from the scene while aware of their criminal enterprise and that they were members of a "high end shoplifting ring."
Ornousky said Spillman was prosecuted following an investigation into his cellphone data and video footage from the store.
When Judge Gary White asked Spillman if the facts claimed by the state's attorney were correct, Spillman replied, "Yes, your honor."
"You are pleading guilty because you are guilty?" White asked.
"Yes, your honor," Spillman said.
Police say Spillman's accomplices ran off with armfuls of pricey purses in the afternoon on Jan. 15. Spillman was arrested later in April and he was picked up at the Westchester County Jail in Valhalla, New York, where he was in custody.
One alleged accomplice, Gerald Smith, 48, also of Mount Vernon, was picked up in November 2019 after he was found in a Nassau County, New York, jail, Greenwich police said. Smith's charges of first-degree larceny, organized retail theft and conspiracy to commit larceny are still pending. He is being held in lieu of a $250,000 court appearance bond at the Bridgeport Correctional Center.
Spillman has remained in jail unable to post a $150,000 court appearance bond since his arrest on April 10, 2019, which make him legible for release in three months. Once out of jail, he will be on probation for three years, during which time he could be sent back to jail for up to three years should he get arrested for another crime.
In recent years, organized bands of thieves have targeted purses, as well as other luxury items, as the merchandise of choice to steal, police say. The Internet has opened new possibilities for the sale of stolen merchandise, according to law enforcement and retail experts. The term they use is "e-fencing."
The purses stolen from Saks were never recovered, police said.

It is a long acting tetracycline group of antibiotics. It is preferred to other tetracyclines because of its milder adverse effects and longer action of duration. Though tetracyclines are not recommended in children below 8 years it is used in children above 8 years with chloroquine resistant malaria along with quinine. It also used to treat other infections like diarrhea and venereal disease.

Anticoagulant Drugs: Because tetracyclines have been shown to depress plasma prothrombin activity, patients who are on anticoagulant therapy may require downward adjustment of their anticoagulant dosage.
Penicillin: Since bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving tetracyclines in conjunction with penicillin.
Antacids and Iron Preparations: Absorption of tetracyclines is impaired by antacids containing aluminium, calcium, or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing preparations.
Oral Contraceptives: Concurrent use of tetracycline may render oral contraceptives less effective.
Barbiturates and Anti-Epileptics: Barbiturates, carbamazepine, and phenytoin decrease the half-life of doxycycline.
Penthrane: The concurrent use of tetracycline and Penthrane® (methoxyflurane) has been reported to result in fatal renal toxicity.
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions: False elevations of urinary catecholamines may occur due to interference with the fluorescence test.

GSA Seeks Feedback on Proposed Health IT Offerings
To attract health information technology vendors and buyers to the federal marketplace, the General Services Administration plans to include a special item number (SIN) for health IT offerings on its IT Schedule 70the largest, and most widely used acquisition vehicle in the federal government.
GSA published a request for information on June 16 to seek public and private sector input on the proposed health IT SIN. These numbers are designed to group similar technology offerings for the government and to make it easier for buyers to compare product costs and features. According to GSA, the health IT market is sufficiently mature for this SIN to attract both vendors and government buyers to its IT Schedule 70, which provides technology products and services to federal, state, and local governments.
Also See: EHR Market to Grow Even as Meaningful Use Fades
The term health information technology (health IT or HIT) is a broad concept that encompasses an array of technologies to store, share, and analyze health information, states the GSA announcement. GSAs schedule contractors offer a wide range of products, technologies and services such as electronic record sharing and maintenance, mobile technologies, cloud-based services, remote monitoring devices, assistive technologies and sensors that form the basis for HIT. GSA is proposing the creation of a new Special Item Number under IT Schedule 70 to align current GSA IT offerings with health IT.
According to GSA, the proposed SIN will increase visibility and access of health IT computing services to customer agencies, and provide industry partners the opportunity to differentiate their health IT services from other IT related products and services. In addition, the effort is meant to support the federal Health IT Strategic Plan to expand adoption of health IT, advance secure health information and strengthen healthcare delivery.
Responses to the RFI are due by July 7.

Over the last few decades, humans have dumped tons of plastic garbage into the ocean and this process will continue for years to come. Around 580,000 pieces of plastic junk per square kilometer were found in the Atlantic Ocean. The consequences of this are seen in our food chain. The seafood we eat is also affected by plastics. Let's understand how does plastic affect the body?
The chemicals used in the production of plastic are toxic and detrimental to the human body. The plastic can be dangerous in multiple ways. Chemicals like lead, cadmium and mercury directly can come in contact with the human. They have been found in many fish in the ocean.
These toxins can cause cancers, congenital disabilities, immune system problems and childhood development issues. The other toxins like BPA or health-bisphenol-A are found in plastic bottles or food packaging materials. When the polymer chains of BPA are broken down and enter the human body through contaminated water or fish, it could lead to some serious damage to our body. The BPA can decrease thyroid hormone receptor which can lead to hypothyroidism.
Apart from these severe effects, we also suffer some serious disease due to plastic. Here are some adverse health effects which are commonly found in individuals -
So what can we do about that? It is highly important for us that we get rid-off these problems. Let's know here how we can avoid the use of plastic?
These simple tips are very useful in battling the plastic junk. The prevention of plastic use is the need of the hour. It is not only necessary for existing generations but for the future generations too. A regular full body health checkup should be a part of your health regime.

The Scripture ~ In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to the Galilean village of Nazareth to a virgin engaged to be married to a man descended from David. His name was Joseph, and the virgin's name, Mary. Upon entering, Gabriel greeted her:
Good morning! You're beautiful with God's beauty, Beautiful inside and out! God be with you.
Luke 1:26-28 The Message
The Spiritual Focus ~ "Christianity has the highest theology of the body, and the lowest practice." Fr. Tom Ryan
The Breath Prayer ~ Inhale ~ God is with me, Exhale ~ God is with all
The Devotion ~ The spiritual focus from Fr .Tom Ryan, Paulist priest, yogi and mentor to
Yogadevotion from the earliest days, gives us pause. We bear witness to "the body" in many of our faith practices or stories, and yet, we tend to physically locate ourselves outside of these stories, especially if the stories are familiar. There is Baptism, Holy Communion, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, to name a few faith narratives, but it all begins with the incarnation. Incarnation is God becoming human in the birth narrative of Jesus. For many this is where the story starts but in this Advent season, let us embody the Christmas narrative through Mary's story.
Our scripture begins the story of the incarnation with a visit from the angel Gabriel to Mary. It would be easy to manipulate this story into a discussion about angels and Mary's unmarried virginal status, but to embody the story we must pause to imagine ourselves in the story. Imagine our 13 year-old selves, regardless of gender, being chosen by God to BE the one in whom a radically new thing is about to happen. This radically new thing isn't something that we can compartmentalize in logic. It is something that not only tests our emotional flexibility but involves physical availability to God's Presence. The unity of body, mind and spirit open up this story to reveal God's nature and love.
A yoga practice connects us to our bodies and helps us untangle our thoughts so we can meditate and embody God's Presence. To hear the poetry in the story of Gabriel visiting Mary is comforting. To embody the story, however, is to hear the words spoken to Mary as if spoken to us. "You're beautiful with God's beauty, beautiful inside and out! God be with you."

With each new release, Ball's reputation as a profoundly soulful singer, a boundlessly talented pianist and a courageous, inventive songwriter continues to grow. Her love of the road has led to years of soul-satisfying performances at festivals, concert halls and clubs. The New York Times says, "Marcia Ball plays two-fisted New Orleans barrelhouse piano and sings in a husky, knowing voice about all the trouble men and women can get into on the way to a good time." The Houston Chronicle says simply, "She's as perfect as an artist can be."
Marcia Ball has appeared many times on national television over the years, including the PBS special In Performance At The White House along with B.B. King and Della Reese, Austin City Limits and HBO's Treme. She performed in Piano Blues, the film directed by Clint Eastwood included in Martin Scorsese's The Blues series which aired on PBS television nationwide in 2003. Marcia also appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman with The New Orleans Social Club, where she not only reached millions of people, but also helped to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. In 2012, she had a role in the independent film Angels Sing starring Harry Connick, Jr., Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson. In 2017 she performed on NPR's A Jazz Piano Christmas, live from The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Altogether she holds ten Blues Music Awards, ten Living Blues Awards, and five Grammy Award nominations. She has been inducted into both the Gulf Coast Music Hall Of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame. The Texas State legislature named her the official 2018 Texas State Musician. As her hometown Austin Chronicle says, "What's not to like about Marcia Ball?"
The Boston Globe calls Ball "a compelling storyteller" who plays "an irresistible, celebratory blend of rollicking, two-fisted New Orleans piano, Louisiana swamp rock and smoldering Texas blues."
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation.

Down the road there's what seems to be a tiny pond-slash-creek (?) and whenever it rains too much and fill up, which is not a rare thing here in Portland, two ducks would go there and swim. Well, on March 26th, on my early morning walk with Scratch we saw them walking up and down the sidewalk and lucky me I had my camera with me!!
At first the male duck, aka green headed duck, ran away from as and hid behind the female duck, brown with gorgeous blue/purple feather on her wings. I found it quite hilarious! And to my surprise Scratch behaved and did no attempt to chase them!
And with camera in hand I snapped quite a few photos of out neighbors!
On our way back home they decided to follow us!!

When you make a decision, ask yourself, "Which of these choices would bring me the most pleasure?" Everyone then says, "ha! I can't do that, Nicole. If I did that I would be eating cake all day long and doing who-knows-what with who-knows-who."
No you won't. I am willing to bet real, actual money that you won't do harm to yourself. Not if you're really in touch with what real pleasure is.
You may make some really radical life changes. You may decide that your relationship has run its course and you need out. You may decide that your career needs a major makeover. You may decide that college just isn't for you and that may make your parents mad as heck.
But if you open up to these scary possibilities, your life will open up to more pleasure.
You will find a relationship(s) that meet your requirements for respect and freedom.
You will find a job that fulfills your desire for art, community, and commerce all in one.
You will chart a course of life that can't be predicted by books or "experts."
Doesn't matter what happens, just as long as it's your own personal pleasure path. Your PPP.
But first you must figure out what exactly pleasure feels like.
Let me give you some ideas:
- Imagine the best dish you've ever eaten. Any type of food, but something that made you close your eyes and go, "Oh, my God! This is the best _____ I've ever had!"
- The last time you saw a puppy / kitten and were all like, "Oh, my God; you're so cute I could just squish you and love you and keep you…!"
- When you went shopping and saw the perfect thing for yourself and just said, "Fuk this; I'm buying it." And it was perfect.
- A mind-blowing orgasm that you think about all week long.
- When you see an old friend and give each other a real hug.
So now you know what pleasure feels like. But, get this: you can maintain those feelings all day long if you so choose.
Of course bad things happen.
What you do is let yourself feel crappy until that feeling passes. Depending on how bad the crap is, this may take 5 minutes or it may take 5 months.
Our lives often revolve around keeping other people happy. But you should still put your pleasure first.
When you do this, you will find your voice. It is difficult to speak up for what you want if you don't prioritize your own pleasure.
Scenario #1: At work, you often find yourself finishing other people's projects. It has to get done, so you put it upon yourself to do it. Silently.
Solution: The work is not getting done; your part is kept up, but Bob, Sue, and John have not. They have left for the day, happy and blissfully ignorant to the fact that the project is not done. You are prioritizing your pleasure, so you leave too. You have a yoga class to get to! The next day at work, the project is not done. Whoever is in charge of this project, the project boss, will question why it's not done. You give Bob, Sue, and John a look. You will point out the part that you finished, and it should be clear who is responsible. It is not you.
As long as we're not taking about nuclear weapons being detonated unless the work gets done, you can let it slide if it's not your problem in the first place. Hey, unless you really, really get a lot of pleasure from the work! Then by all means, keep working until the pleasure changes.
Scenario #2: At home, you clean all the kitchen, after cooking, after a long day of work, while your husband is comfy on the couch, enjoying a beer and his favorite TV show. "Hey, hon, can you bring me another beer?"
Solution: "No, I can't bring you another beer." Okay, he may fume a little, but that's not your problem. You're actually enjoying cleaning the kitchen! Scrubbing is fun! You love making things shiny. You love feeding your family. You can squeeze every ounce of pleasure from every situation. Put on some cleaning music and enjoy. "Honey, can you turn that down, I'm trying to watch the TV." "No, dear, I can't. It's my cleaning music. But you can come in here and help me clean. Then it will take less time and we can both snuggle and watch TV together!" Doesn't that sound nice?
Scenario #3: You're at the grocery store and there's only 2 cashier stations open. Although the store is not crowded, the lines are long and slow. Annoyance setting in.
Solution: You park your cart in line, and go check out the area close by where they sell wrapping paper and gift cards. You think of someone having a birthday soon and pick out some lovely packaging for their present. By the time you're done, it's your turn in line.
Scenario #4: Your kids are screaming at each other.
Solution: Oh, there's so many solutions here.
- "Look at the puppy walking by; he's so cute!"
- "Who wants to go get ice cream?"
- "Let's go to the park!"
- "I want you to each go pick out a book to read."
- Wine.
So the point is: LET PLEASURE BE THE LEADER.
If you do this, you will find yourself stepping out of your comfort zone. Only the brave can lead with pleasure. But you will find yourself, once you get used to how good this feels, inviting other people to live pleasurably along with you!
"Never complain, never explain…and always lead with pleasure."
What about junk food? Many people think leading with pleasure means you'll stuff yourself full of ice cream and cookies every night.
If you find that you're enjoying a bit too much junk food, you have to ask yourself, "where in my life am I NOT GETTING ENOUGH PLEASURE?"
If ALL of your pleasure is coming from food, you need to ask yourself
- How is my sex life? Even if you're single, you can still "love" yourself. LOL.
- Do I enjoy my job? Do I feel like I have a purpose and contribute to my community in some way?
- Do I do enough pleasurable movement? "Exercise" sounds so mundane. "Pleasurable movement" can be so much more: jumping on a trampoline, taking a tango class, or hiking in the wild sound so much more exciting, no?
- Am I cooking pleasurable meals on a regular basis? Delicious recipes with fresh, healthy ingredients…
- Do I take time to hang out with friends? Do I regularly initiate communication with my "tribe?"
Overeating junk is usually a symptom of an imbalanced life. Balance your life and your body will follow your lead. Lead with pleasure, and your body will show you the way.
A lot of people avoid letting their pleasure take the reigns because of guilt. As far as emotions go, guilt is pretty much useless. If you feel guilty, it's actually because you're a good person and you're trying to avoid hurting people, and therefore, you're not going to intentionally hurt anyone, and thus, the emotion is useless, as the purpose of guilt is to avoid hurting anyone.
Let go of the guilt. Because when you're happy, you can help others achieve happiness too. If you're stuck in a guilt cycle, no one can achieve happiness. Even those people you feel guilty about disappointing.
Feeling guilty for taking pleasure stems back to the Puritanical religious roots of our country. Does anyone even practice this religion any more? I guess a lot of religions enforce guilt as a survival mechanism, and if that's the way you want to go, I'm certainly not going to stop you.

Chiropractic treatment and sports go hand in hand. They are a perfect complement to each other. Athletes of all levels and sports require their bodies to function at its highest capabilities. Chiropractic maximizes the body's healing capacity and enhances function by re-establishing proper skeletal motion and optimizing nerve flow.
An impressive list of athletes who state chiropractic treatment helped elevate their play and boost their careers includes; Superbowl MVP's Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Joe Montana, Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, NFL superstars Roger Craig and Maurice Jones-Drew, Gold medal decathlon champion Dan O'Brien, Heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield, Seven time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, Seven time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger, MLB career homerun leader Barry Bonds, MLB superstars Johnny Damon and Trevor Hoffman, Baseball Hall of Famers John Smoltz and Wade Boggs, PGA golfers Tiger Woods and Fred Funk, and NBA Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. This list of elite athletes of numerous sports displays the wide-spread utilization of Chiropractic treatment by athletes.
Pro Football Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Jerry Rice, a spokesperson for The Foundation of Chiropractic Progress, stated, "Chiropractic care was the key to keeping me in the game."
Competitive and recreational athletes of all levels can benefit from chiropractic treatment. Beginners and top-tier competitors in numerous sports including football, boxing, martial arts, mixed martial arts, golf, running, cycling, lacrosse, triathlons, baseball, softball, track and field, strength events, basketball, hockey, wrestling, power lifting, soccer, volleyball, swimming, water polo and many more can improve their game with regular chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care is a catalyst for improving an athlete's health, fitness, function and recuperation. Athletes of all ages profit by having their body's function at its highest capabilities. Youth baseball players, senior triathletes and all ages in between can benefit. Athletes utilize chiropractic treatment to lessen the painful effects training, practicing and playing has on their bodies and to allow their bodies to heal more efficiently.
Athletic injuries occur for many reasons including incorrect training practices, repetition, trauma and poor warm-up. Unexpected injuries also occur for no reason. Chiropractic care restores correct skeletal joint motion, optimizes nerve flow, decreases muscle tension, increases range of motion and decreases symptoms. These factors lead to a maximization of the body's healing capabilities and increased musculoskeletal function. Improved healing and optimal function add up to injury prevention, faster recovery and increased performance.
Chiropractic treatment for athletes helps repair various injuries including but not limited to aches and pains, sore muscles, pulled muscles, muscles strains, ligament sprains, neck pain, headaches, lower back pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, runner's knee, trochanter bursitis, bicep tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. Nerve impingement injuries like stingers and burners are common ailments treated by chiropractic doctors.
Golfers commonly suffer neck, lower back, ribcage, inner elbow and ACL injuries. Runners and jumpers obtain lower extremity injuries such as shin splints, iliotibial band syndrome, patello-femoral pain syndrome, patellar tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis. Throwing athletes acquire rotator cuff tendinopathy, medial epicondylitis and neck pain. Athletes in racquet sports get lateral epicondylitis and ribcage sprain/strains. Basketball players, volleyball players and skaters suffer ankle sprains. Swimmers get bicep and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Football players get high ankle sprain and stingers and burners. Wrestlers and fighters suffer from neck and knee injuries. Bowlers get wrist injuries and sciatica. Hockey players acquire hip flexor, foot and back injuries. Soccer players acquire groin muscle injuries and hamstrings strains. This list is only a small portion of the conditions acquired by athletes that a doctor of chiropractic treats.
Chiropractic care is drug-free, surgery-free functional medicine. The primary objective of chiropractic care is the optimization of nerve flow and the re-establishment of correct skeletal biomechanics. Chiropractic treatment is ideal for preventive and maintenance care.
Chiropractic doctors utilize a treatment procedure called the chiropractic adjustment or chiropractic manipulation. The chiropractic adjustment is a high velocity, low-amplitude, focused thrust that re-establishes proper motion to a joint and reduces nerve impingement.
Proper skeletal motion and optimum nerve flow maximizes the body's function and healing capabilities. Athletes demand the most out of their bodies. Chiropractic treatment helps athletes achieve their goals by placing the body in a position to work to at its highest capacity, lessening injury recovery time and improving function.

Bird Flu and Wild Turkeys
As you all are likely aware a deadly strain of bird flu (HPAI or H5N2) is decimating domestic turkey farms across Minnesota. Impacted areas include Cottonwood, Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle, Lyon, Meeker, Nobles, Pope, Stearns and Watonwan counties. So far 21 farms have been infected and over 1.5 million domestic turkeys killed to prevent further spread. There have also been cases in a chicken facility in Jefferson County Wisconsin, as well as in North Dakota and northwest Iowa. With the advent of the 2015 wild turkey hunting season the NWTF has received several inquiries about the threat to wild turkeys and to hunters. The following information should be helpful.

"But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had eyes to see." – Edward Abbey

For security reasons, I don't think you can.
The topmost level you can write a cookie - is at the domain level. So if you
specified a cookie was for "abc.com" - any page and any subdomain could read
that cookie, but no one else could.
If you are working with another company, you should setup a common
subdomain. For example, if you are at www.abc.com - and your vendor is
www.xyz.com - they should setup a web server and call it xzy.abc.com - so
then they can write cookies and you can read them (because they are from the
same domain) - and vice versa.
But you can't just read anyone elses cookies.. Imagine, you could go read

Do not think someone is Sri Krsna's supremely dear and beloved devotee, if all the qualities of Bhagavan are not entering within that person. You should realize this person is not a devotee of Bhagavan. If you can see bad qualities in someone it is because they have gone far away from the Lord. They are called dur-guna. Dur-guna means bad qualities, and dur means to be far away. If you have developed bad qualities then that means, by nature, you are far away from God.
Why do the devotees always glorify the Lord so sweetly? Because when they embrace the Lord in their hearts, then all of the Lord's qualities naturally come within them. When they are remembering the Lord and praising Him, then all those qualities enter within them.
If someone is displaying their devotion only for show, and they are not sincere in their Bhakti, then it will only last for a short amount of time. Someone can speak like a crazy person as long as they are intoxicated, and have their drugs. Similarly, there are people who can speak so eloquently and with different poetic meters and styles. They can also memorize and express so many things, and show that are so respectful and know so much tattva, but in reality, this is not natural, and it is only for show.
However, when you simply endeavor, with all sincerity to embrace the Lord in your heart, then automatically all anarthas and bad qualities will flee, and all your wicked tendencies will naturally be pacified. If from your childhood, you have had the habit of eating impure foods, living with tamasik qualities and tendencies, then naturally you will have difficulty collecting the teachings of the scriptures, going to the Holy places, and having respect for sadhus. On the other-hand if you are always in the association of sadhus, going to the holy tirthas, then naturally their qualities and tendencies will come within you.
What is paricaya – good qualities? You will be able to see them naturally manifest within a sincere devotee. Such devotees will never have to bow down before any materialistic person in this world. When you embrace Sri Krsna in your heart or make a place for His lotus feet there, then what will occur at that time? All varieties of good qualities will enter within you. All kinds of spiritual potency from the Lord's divine pleasure potency will enter.
When you take shelter of Bhagavan then His transcendental potency, para-sakti, will first of all give you spiritual knowledge or cit-jnana. Then He will give you cit-bala or so much spiritual strength. But how can these be properly used? What happens when the Lord gives someone potency but they misuse it? They don't use it for the proper activities.
Some people have knowledge but what do they do with that knowledge? They only use that, not to help others, but to fight with others. Anarthas – such as wanting various kinds of wealth becomes an impediment in their progress. What is the natural qualities you develop during sadhana-bhakti? You will get jnana, bala and kriya, that is you will get spiritual knowledge, spiritual strength and then you will know how to properly engage in these things. This is by the mercy of kriya-shakti whose presiding Deity is Srimati Radhika. Kriya-shakti is that potency by which we can act, and that comes from Srimati Radhika. You will also develop the tendency to naturally engage in pious actions and the service of the Lord. The Gopis embraced Sri Krsna in their hearts, then naturally all kinds of transcendental qualities and happiness appeared within them.
Worldly people are naturally depressed, sad and contaminated. Why? Because they have lower desires in their hearts, which are always afflicting them and causing so much disturbance. How many materialistic people have we brought into our hearts? We bring them in our hearts and then we are always disturbed. A person is fortunate if he does not keep anything of this world in his heart. When they give no place for anything like that, then they are liberated. Their heart will be only for Bhagavan.
One kind of person for his own service, or for the satisfaction of his beloved, will do anything and everything, but still on doing that they are not happy. Another person leaves everything and engages everything they possess in Krsna's service. They are happy and whatever they do they will get pure realization and experience. They alone get the power for spiritual experience and progress easily.
Just as within clouds there is electricity or lightning bolts, similarly in the hearts of devotees, the power of God is manifest. Occasionally it is seen or manifests before the vision of others. They naturally become very expert in all kinds of arts and skills. They get all kinds of knowledge and they manifest these things in this world for the benefit of worldly people and in this way they attract people.
Sri Krsna appeared in many different murtis like the megh-cakra– an unbroken disk or a disk of fire. He was very effulgent like a bolt of lightning. The devotees who had pure bhava brought the Lord within their hearts and with great joy they were immersed in ananda-rasa – the ocean of transcendental bliss.
It is described here by Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu that the Vraja-devis were very –subhaya mana -very effulgent from embracing Krsna within their hearts. But Krsna was even more effulgent. Why is that? The Vraja-devis kept Krsna in their hearts, but who was Krsna keeping in His heart? The millions of Gopis, and they were all so effulgent that by thinking of them, the Lord became even more effulgent.
santa hrdaya navanita samana -The hearts of the sadhus are very pure and soft like butter. They are beautifully decorated with all good qualities. Krsna embraces His devotees in His heart and is pleased when someone comes to His temple, His tirtha, or establishes such a place. He is also pleased when people come there and light lamps, give flowers, garlands and sandal paste. Or they come and do Hari katha and kirtan.
If you will ask them why they come, they will reply; "Oh I find peace here." Gradually the relationship with the Lord becomes fixed, and through their service to Him, they begin to offer Him love and respect. If in due course they do not meet with or see the devotees, they become very restless and feel distress. In this way the devotees gradually progress on the devotional path, and they always think of how to please the Lord. In this way, Krsna also becomes restless thinking of His devotees.
For example, the devotees have this very strong and loving relationship with Giriraja-Govardhana. If you do parikrama once, it isn't enough. Again and again you want to go on Giriraja parikrama. The devotees have a strong desire to give abhisekha to Giriraja, to offer him bhoga, and to serve him in all varieties of ways and the fruit of that is that both of them will always be extremely happy. This happiness is not for a short period, it is not temporary, it is ongoing and ever increasing.

With decorations up and festive songs blasting everywhere we go, it is fair to say Christmas 2018 is in full swing. During this wonderful time, there are hundreds of Christmas classics gracing our screens and it can be hard to make sure you watch them all.
That's why at ScS we have asked our employees what their favourite TV shows and movies are to watch over Christmas. With a lot of dubious choices vetoed (I will forever refuse to accept Die Hard as a Christmas movie), it seems as though throughout ScS our favourite Christmas TV shows and movies vary massively.
The most popular movie, and one of my all-time Christmas favourites, is elf. The joy this wonderful charismatic man brings to our screen is second to none. Will Ferrell is a statement of comedy and this piece of genius will always be Christmas must.
For a Christmas TV series, the Vicar of Dibley Christmas special topped our list. Everyone loves a Christmas dinner, but four may be pushing it! I'm usually struggling to make room for dessert number one! But there's something brilliant about watching the pain Geraldine goes through forcing the dinners down and perhaps it makes us feel less guilty about our over indulgences throughout the day!
Other Christmas classics making the list include:
Home alone series
Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special
Polar Express
The Holiday
The Royal Family Christmas Special
The Grinch
The Santa Claus
Love Actually
Deck the Halls
Miracle on 34thStreet
Christmas with the Kranks
Although there are already hundreds of Christmas movies and box sets available, every year there are some great new festive tv to keep an eye out for.
The new Christmas movie that is definitely worth a watch is the remake of a lot of people's festive favourite, the Grinch. With a lot of sceptics out there to as whether it would as good as the original, they'd be right, but I think you'd still be pleasantly surprised with this heart-warming family friendly Christmas movie.
Michael McIntryre's Big Christmas Show is on BBC one on Christmas Day and with live music and lots of laughs guaranteed, this looks like a show that's not to be missed. Another show not to be missed is the new adaptation of Watership Down, which brings the very popular novel to life!
Let us know your thoughts on our Christmas lists and let us know your festive favourites in the comments!

Today I begin a two-part series considering some aspects of the relationship between civilization and contemporary art, as a result of two rather interesting but on the surface very different news stories from the art world.
As a caveat, in using the term "contemporary art" I am of course aware that this is an unwieldy, overly-broad designation, which includes a wide variety of artists – some of whom actually know how to paint, sculpt, etc. That being said it is true that we are witnessing in certain quarters of the art world a number of disturbing parallels to what we see in society, with respect to the erosion of principles that have until now kept us comparatively civilized. So let us begin our consideration of these matters with the story of the arrest of a fugitive art vandal, since by its very nature that sounds like an exciting place to start.
Yesterday a 22-year-old man whose name I will not repeat (he has had far too much press already), who was wanted in connection with charges of felony graffiti and criminal mischief, turned himself into authorities on the U.S./Mexican border crossing in McAllen, Texas. The accused, an artist who described himself as being aligned with the "Occupy" movement, had vandalized a painting by Picasso at the Menil Collection in Houston this past June. His actions were allegedly captured on camera by a bystander in the gallery, who then posted the video to YouTube. This "artist" subsequently fled to Mexico, until he was able to negotiate his surrender to police.
The Menil Collection is home to art accumulated in the 20th century by the de Menil family, one of those blendings of European aristocracy and American fortune which have often benefited both sides of the Atlantic (e.g., Churchill.) Arguably the de Menils' most important legacy in the history of modern art was their commissioning of the interfaith space now known as the "Rothko Chapel", as a result of a series of large, black paintings by Mark Rothko which decorate it. While I personally do not care for Rothko, you may recall I positively reviewed the exhibition of these paintings at the National Gallery, when they were here in Washington a few years ago.
It seems to me rather curious that this museum was chosen by the alleged vandal. For while not everything in the Menil Collection is modern or contemporary art, that area of collecting certainly predominates there, and much of that art was originally created to challenge what was perceived by the artists themselves as being a too-conservative political, social, or cultural establishment. Alongside the Picasso at issue are works by Magritte, Matisse, Warhol, and many other important 20th century artists. One would have thought that this would make the Menil rather more like a temple for adherents of "Occupy", instead of a site to be targeted for some sort of half-baked plot against capitalism or taking baths.
Why this Picasso in particular, his "Woman in a Red Armchair" from 1929, happened to be targeted we do not know. The perpetrator, whomever the courts determine him to be, stenciled a bull and the word "conquista", Spanish for "conquest", onto the painting before fleeing the building. Curators at the gallery were able to quickly remove the work and take it to their conservation department, though reports are that restoration of the painting is still ongoing.
Art vandalism has taken place throughout history, and for various reasons – theological, political, social, or simply as a result of mental illness. It is a subject which I have treated extensively before, and no doubt will regrettably have occasion to do so again. Yet in this particular case, what is deeply disturbing is not only the act itself, but also a disturbing detail of this story, which involves the aforementioned bystander.
The "artist" who allegedly damaged this painting is someone who, like much of contemporary society, is an untalented individual clearly out to make a name for himself, rather than to demonstrate any actual artistic competence. It is hardly the work of the ages to paint with a stencil. In fact, I can recall the nuns using a stencil to paint pictures of flowers, trees, and geometric patterns to brighten up the hallways of my primary school, with a comparatively more pleasing effect.
However our real derision must fall on the person who stood by and did nothing, other than film this vandalism. For not only did he watch the perpetrator while he was vandalizing the painting without attempting to intervene, but he actually met with the person a few days later, and discussed the event with him. Darker minds than mine will ask whether this was pure happenstance, but be that as it may.
And the eyewitness' response to what took place? "I thought it was pretty cool how he walked up to the painting without fear, sprayed [sic] painted it and walked off." What a wonderful expression of civic responsibility, public-spiritedness, and respect for the property of others. I suppose should I ever have the misfortune to meet this individual, he will not complain too loudly when I knock him over and take his iPhone from him – perhaps I should do so while wearing my Superman costume, because that would be "pretty cool" also.
The understanding that what is mine is not yours to do with as you see fit is enshrined in our Constitution and the other foundational documents of our nation. They were, naturally enough, largely adopted through precedent from English common law. That, in turn, as indeed is the case with all ancient systems of law, grew out of an appreciation that civilization and anarchy cannot peacefully co-exist. The fact that at some point in the past we realized that I cannot come into your cave and drag off your mastodon carcass for my dinner, simply because I am twice your size, is due to the hard work of centuries of our ancestors to fight against the human tendency toward anarchy, which ion the end is really nothing more than selfishness writ large.
By not doing anything at all, the eyewitness to this event has demonstrated quite clearly what we can see throughout our society: a rising tide of indifference or even of outright hostility toward fundamental principles of civilization. We can see the celebration of destructive acts by no-name artists, such as the alleged criminal here, or by household-name artists, such as the Chapman Brothers or the individual known as "Banksy", making anti-social behavior paradoxically more and more socially acceptable. It is a perhaps a chicken-and-egg question as to whether contemporary art is influencing the culture, or vice versa, but this almost sociopathic inability to think about the impact of our selfishness on civilization is something which contemporary art seems to be in the vanguard of encapsulating for our consideration.
Tomorrow we will look at the rather interesting case of one of the most prominent of contemporary artists, and how his desire to destroy of the concept of property rights in works of art is fracturing the contemporary art community itself.

Let's face it. It's been another frustrating winter in the Lake Tahoe region. While resorts like Heavenly and Northstar and Mt. Rose are still functioning with decent conditions, thanks to a ton of snowmaking, Tahoe's ski and snowboarding mecca has seen no significant precipitation since December.
Here's what we say about that: *%#$&%*&@!!!!
Perhaps our rotten attitudes may change over the next few days, though. A "pineapple express-like event" is on tap for the weekend, meaning heavy precipitation is on the way courtesy of subtropical moisture.
The big question, as it has been in Tahoe for the past two winters, is the snow level. Will snow fall at 6,000 feet? Or 8,000? Looks like it's closer to the latter, than the former. And high snow levels are not the antidote to the Sierra's fourth straight disappointing winter.
Let's see what this weekend's pineapple brings us. I prefer my Mai Tais ice cold.
My favorite prognosticators — Western Weather Group — says the snow levels will be mostly at 8,000 feet over the weekend, dropping to 6,000 feet by Monday. Above 8,500 feet, resorts should receive over two feet of snow. So, if you're going, go to the high elevation spots.
Here's the full report from Western Weather Service, a service that tracks weather up in the Sierra for a professional clientele.
HIGHLIGHTS: Mild conditions with intermittent clouds Tuesday through Thursday. Pineapple express-like event from Friday through Monday, with snow levels reluctant to come down till Sunday night. Heavy rain possible over the weekend below 7500 feet, accumulating snow above 8000 feet.
Discussion: An immense trough of low pressure over the north-central Pacific will dig south, tapping into subtropical moisture near Hawaii today. As this trough digs to our west their will be some slight ridge expansion over CA today, but not after a very weak disturbance grazes the North State. The Tahoe Basin should observe intermittent clouds, or at least note increasing clouds over the next 48-72 hours as abundant high level moisture streams northeastward from the subtropics.
Wednesday should be similar to Tuesday, with the exception of increasing clouds and winds later in the afternoon. As the ridge over the east Pacific expands eastward Thursday, rain will likely spread throughout the North State, however, most of this precipitation is expected to stay north of the Tahoe Basin. On Friday a more potent disturbance will ride up the east side of the east Pacific trough delivering the first shot of heavy precipitation to the Tahoe Basin. Snow levels will stay high throughout the weekend, though high elevations could pick up significant snow totals. Heavy rain, perhaps changing to snow within heavier showers appears more likely below 8,000 ft through Sunday. Sunday night a slightly cooler trough should move through the area dropping snow levels to around 6,000 feet by Monday morning.

Battlefield 3 tech talks will be held at the Game Developers Conference in 2011. The GDC organizers have recently detailed a list of sessions for the conference and Battlefield 3 makes the list in multiple locations. Making GDC '11 Battlefield 3's coming out party. The "SPU-based Deferred Shading in Battlefield 3 for PlayStation 3", "Lighting You Up in Battlefield 3" and "The Failure Workshop" are among the listed discussions that will take place at the conference. Hopefully we get some information for the fans before the conference but GDC is not that far into the horizon.
The 2011 Game Developers Conference will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from February 28th to March 4th. In the meantime we'll just keep using this picture that may or may not be the first glimpse of Battlefield 3 to mark our Battlefield 3 posts.

With the recent spat of cancer deaths of celebrities (David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Lemme Kilmister), it's clear that the disease is still ravaging humanity. In fact, it's estimated that there will be 600,000 cancer deaths in the US this year—that's a Civil War's worth every year. While there are some promising gene-targeting therapies, the most widely-used treatment is a relatively ancient chemotherapy that often does just as much damage as good in its scorched-earth medical technique. We're clearly losing this war.
And this is a shock because we know what kills cancer. A substance is alkaline (or basic) when the pH is higher than 7. Human blood for instance must stay in a narrow range of 7.35-7.45, which is just barely alkaline). Cancer cannot survive in an oxygenated alkaline environment and will die if conditions are such.
I know because I've seen it happen. With a history of basal cell carcinoma, I noticed a lesion that would later be diagnosed as basal cell and applied a paste of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3), which has a pH of 8.4 with a slightly alkaline coconut oil directly on the lesion continuously for a month. The results of this baking soda skin cancer treatment were striking:
After crusting up and a potent burning sensation, the lesion was almost completely eliminated within 22 days and left the healthy skin surrounding it perfectly fine. It has worked elsewhere on my skin as well and there are other reports of similar findings from others. Unfortunately, it's clear from my experiment and from other sources I've read that the cancer is not completely eliminated through this method, but it is very effective to a point, which shows promise in the principle if not the method.
We also recommend long-term fasting or the ketogenic diet in conjunction with this treatment to inhibit subcutaneous cancer growth. There is evidence that the combined approach could be effective at eliminating the cancer altogether.
Alkaline Treatment Skepticism
If an alkaline treatment can work to kill cancerous lesions topically, the same treatment should work internally as well, hence the whole alkaline food movement.
But just loading up on alkaline/basic foods doesn't account for the whole picture. As a snarky skeptic may assert that homeostasis is the body's process for maintaining a balanced pH and would defeat any attempt at raising the body's pH. Eat more alkaline foods and the body will counteract that to maintain the balance. The snarky skeptic will just laugh it off and deny the possibility of using alkalinity to kill cancer at all. But it's theoretically possible that you can use homeostasis in your favor by ingesting something like apple cider vinegar (ACV), which has a low pH and could paradoxically trigger an increase in alkalinity in the body to counter it. ACV has been inconclusively linked to a reduction in esophageal cancer and other cancers. But as Dr. Mercola says, the jury is still out on ACV as a cancer treatment.
However, with such a dramatic effect from sodium bicarbonate topically, I'm convinced that there is a way to increase the alkalinity of the body in order to aid in killing internal cancer as well. It could be as simple as ingesting more baking soda (perhaps indirectly through toothpaste?). One can nebulize baking soda and inhale it for direct application on lung cancer.
Baking Soda Kills Cancer
In a 2009 study, researchers injected cancer into immunocompromised mice and gave half regular water and the other half a solution of water and sodium bicarbonate. The results were shocking: while both groups showed little effect on the primary tumor, the carbonate-treated mice had dramatically fewer instances of metastases and lived longer.
This type of finding should have been earth-shattering and shows much promise in this field. More studies of this kind need to be done and until they are conducted, we must continue our own experiments. We cannot let the juggernaut-esque medical establishment slow down what could be the simplest and most cost-effective cure for cancer. We haven't cracked the cancer code, but we're tantalizingly close.

Manny Pacquiao has refused to call time on his 17-year professional boxing career following a sixth round knockout defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez that left him lying face down on the canvas.
A first defeat to Marquez in four fights between the pair leaves 33-year-old Pacquiao with a record of 54 wins, five losses and two draws – and a much touted potential contest with Floyd Mayweather Junior to decide the sport's unofficial best pound-pound fighter now seemingly further away than ever.
"I thought I had got him," Pacquiao told reporters, minutes after stirring from a Marquez counter-punch that left him out cold at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
"I am so careless.
"I am so overconfident.
"It is a good fight. I am overconfident. I thought I got him."
Rather than look forward to retirement from boxing and a career in politics, instead the Filipino Congressman made it clear he would be prepared to fight Marquez for a fifth time.
"If they give us a chance we will fight him [again]," he said.
Marquez had Pacquiao on the canvas as early as the third round with a straight right counter-punch – the first knockdown he had scored against the Filipino in four contests.
However, the Mexican failed to capitalise on the early breakthrough and reverted to his trademark defensive style.
Pacquiao regrouped and went on the attack, releasing a flurry of combinations, and Marquez survived a standing eight count in the fifth round following a straight right from the Filipino.
Again, Pacquiao went on the offensive, with Marquez suffering a cut above his right eye and what appeared to be a broken nose.
With Pacquiao in the ascendancy and seemingly taking control of the fight at the end of the sixth round, Marquez summoned a tremendous counter-punch that may yet spell the end of the Filipino's glorious career.
Marquez climbed the ropes with his right hand raised in victory, his own blood splattered across his chest from the earlier damage inflicted by Pacquiao.
"We knew he was going to come out aggressive. We were able to capitalise on it," said the Mexican.
"We knew it was a difficult fight but not impossible to win.
"We had to use our technique and skill and not let Manny connect as he has usually done."
A visibly more ripped Marquez weighed in at a chiselled 143 pounds before the fight after controversially hiring former performance enhancing drugs supplier-turned-US government witness Angel "Memo" Hernandez as his strength coach last year.
Asked if the extra muscles helped, Marquez replied: "We worked strength and speed."
The fourth contest between the two rivals is the first to provide a truly conclusive result in the eyes of many boxing observers, following a draw and two controversial wins for Pacquiao.
Although no world title was at stake, following Pacquiao's loss of his WBO welterweight title in a dubious split-decision defeat to Timothy Bradley in June, Marquez claimed the WBO "Champion of the Decade" belt with his victory.
The Mexican refused to rule out the possibility of another rematch with Pacquiao. [BangkokPost.com]

Cape Town - The Blitzboks squad have their plans laid out as they prepare to tackle Argentina, Samoa and France in Pool B of the Sydney Sevens this weekend, having arrived from Hamilton, New Zealand earlier on Monday.
It was an unhappy visit to the Land of the Long White Cloud, with three consecutive defeats at FMG Stadium Waikato a real dampener after the strong start in the opening two tournaments of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
The Australian tournament will be played on February 1-2 at Parramatta Stadium, with the venue being used for the first time.
It's also a first for the Blitzboks to arrive in Australia on the back of such a disappointing performance in New Zealand, and team management are hard at work to make sure the departure back to South Africa next Monday is a happier one.
Springbok Sevens physiotherapist Hugh Everson said recovery of the players is top of the agenda at this stage.
"We have some niggles, so we will apply some ice and strapping to make sure the guys recover sufficiently and get rid of the inflammation and swelling," Everson explained.
"We want the guys to be able to train at the expected levels when they return to the field tomorrow. So, massages, recovery pumps and pool sessions are as important this time of the week as tries, and tackles will be at the end of it.
"We are fortunate to have a professional squad and the players are really dedicated to make sure their bodies recover as well as it should."
It will not only be the bodies that will be sore - a look at the stats from Hamilton will also hurt. The Blitzboks led the stats for possession surrendered, and that reflected in their results on the weekend.
All is not doom and gloom though and as the players recover, so will the knowledge that they are still in second position on the series log. The team's commitment can also not be questioned as the Hamilton stats showed that only log leaders, New Zealand, made more tackles (218) than the Blitzboks (214).
The difference in the completion rate - NZ 70% and SA 66% - had a massive impact though. The Blitzboks are also second behind New Zealand (74) with tries scored, with 51 five-pointers thus far this season.
The Pools for Sydney are:
A: New Zealand, Kenya, Fiji, Wales
B: France, Argentina, South Africa, Samoa
C: Australia, USA, Scotland, Japan
D: England, Canada, Ireland, Spain
