So this may sound like an advertisement for Quizno's, but I'm being honest. Here in Athens, Ohio, there are a variety of little food places to choose from, but chain restaurants like Quizno's are usually a bit high in price. However, the new Toasty Torpedo is a super long sandwich on delightfully toasty bread, for only $4. That's right — 4 bucks. It's totally affordable and keeps you feeling comfortably full. My personal favorite is the Pesto Turkey: turkey, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, pesto, and red wine vinaigrette. YUM.
Check out this sexy new advertisement for the Toasty Torpedoes:
And don't forget this classic advertisement:
Aside from Quizno's, other restaurant chains are dropping their prices to accommodate for the economic shift. Here's a few great deals:
1. Subway — I'm sure most of you have heard about the 5 dollar foot-long, but this one is definitely a winner. You get a huge sandwich, with endless toppings, for less than it would cost to make your own.
2. Arby's — I'm not a huge fan of burgers and roast beef, but these guys have a sweet deal going with their "5 for $5.95" selection. Each item is large enough to fill you up, but small enough to feasibly consume in one sitting.
3. Taco Bell — I won't say that this place is the healthiest of the bunch, but they have yummy food for an excellent price! Their value menu is undeniably cheap, with 79, 89 and 99 cent meals, including triple-layer nachos, crunchy tacos and cinnamon twists.

What is sustainable fashion?
Sustainable fashion is about being kind to our environment, responsible with our resources and treating our fellow garment workers like human beings. This means looking at the tag, using what you have and being creative in our wardrobe choices.
The garment lifecycle below explains the steps a piece of clothes moves through from seed to grave.
The use of environmentally friendly materials e.g., bamboo, hemp, organic cotton. Also, garments made from one fibre (e.g., 100% organic cotton) can be respun into fibres again at the end of use. Alternatively, look for blends that use organic textiles.
Use Phase:
Take good care of your precious clothes. They really don't enjoy places like the floor, really hot washing machines and sitting in the sun for days.
Textile Production:
Employing energy and water efficient processes for dyes and finishes – or use natural dyes.
Minimising travel for the garment – importing and exporting around the world doesn't leave a friendly carbon foot-print. Support locally made garments.
Minimal waste in the production process and ensuring safe, clean working conditions for workers – as well as fair wages.
Designing for dis-assembly so that clothes can be taken apart and re-introduced into the garment life-cycle. Designed with 'no waste'. Using quality fabric will help them live longer.
Reusing, re-assembling, up-cycling, op-shopping, vintage and even raiding your friends' wardrobes!
Minimise load on landfills by using biodegradable products.

Restless legs syndrome is a sleep disorder. It causes unpleasant sensations in the legs, which are described as:
You usually have these sensations in the calf, but they may be felt anywhere from the thigh to the ankle. One or both of your legs may be affected. Some people may have the sensations in the arms. With RLS, you have an irresistible urge to move the affected limb when the sensations occur. Moving often briefly relieves the limb discomfort.
Sleep problems are common with RLS because of the difficulty it causes in getting to sleep. Severe daytime fatigue can also be a big problem.
The cause of RLS is still unknown. Some cases are believed to be inherited. Some cases have been linked with nerve damage in the legs due to diabetes, kidney problems, or alcoholism.
As many as 1 in 10 people in the U.S. may have RLS.
Sensations occur when you lie down or sit for a prolonged time. This causes:
Your doctor will consider your age, overall health and other factors when advising treatment for you.
Treatment options for restless legs syndrome may include:
Medications, including:
Consult your doctor for more information regarding the treatment of restless legs syndrome.

My four-year-old just ate her third cream cracker covered in artificial jam and started her second viewing of an alphabet cartoon. It's educational so I'm okay with it. She's occupied for thirty minutes and Sugar Baby is sleeping so this might be my only chance today to think clearly so I'm going to take it.
I've ruminated on the journey I've been on– moving to the other side of the world; having our fourth child; losing my mind, then getting it back (somewhat). It's not been what I've expected in many ways.
We have been in India for 2.5 years and it's been quite the adventure. One I never dreamed of and one I've fought. Hard. Before we came and even after we arrived I fought it because I knew it would mean a different life for me than the one I had envisioned. And the fighting added to the struggle instead of making it easier. Funny how that works, isn't it? Wrestling with something for years takes a toll on a soul. At least it did on me and those around me.
But it feels like I've had an internal shift. Now don't get me wrong, I still have what I call too-much-culture days when I need to recharge in the privacy of my own home for a few days.The differences between here and home are vast. But those types of days are not as frequent and they don't completely undo me like they once did. And by undo me I mean anxiety, depression and sometimes panic attacks. THAT kind of undo.
Life is better now. Not easier, but better because I've given up trying to control everything.
So why was life such a challenge here at first, you ask? So imagine you are an overly critical American who has moved to India and had your worldview challenged at every turn. You have no control over anything (or so it seemed). When you have to cook solely with a microwave for several weeks and don't know where to buy chicken or cheese because there are only a few stores where you can buy meat AND groceries and we live nowhere near them. Where I couldn't even cook a proper meal for my family, keep my house clean or drive a car anywhere. And the monsoon rains arrived with us and I thought I might melt from the heat, humidity, frequent power outages and no inverter to even run fans. And not to mention the sensory overload every time I walked out of the house. Yes, I became a bit critical those first years.
Okay, very critical. And alone. Life had challenges I felt unprepared for and quite frankly didn't want. I don't like hard places, most of us don't. BUT…
While I would not relive our first two years here for any amount of dollars or rupees, I can say now that I'm glad I lived through them and they are a part of who I am. And hopefully I'm a bit stronger for it. Hopefully. Now that's progress if you ask me.
So that's where I am as we approach the halfway point in year three. And I still need to find a place around that sells tender (not chewy) chicken and possibly bacon (I miss bacon!). And we still have mosquitoes biting us at night and I still try not to make eye contact with roaming wildlife. But on a positive note I have working AC's, mosquito wands that zap and decent cheese. I think I can manage with that.

Moving house is very bad for nails. They are so dry now, the vertical ridges which can usually only be seen on one nail are showing on ten. The ridges have also got dirty, so it looks like I've got black strips on my nails, whatever I do I can't seem to clean them.
I've put on cuticle oil about five times today, and it's just being sucked up. But I have to start the clean up on the old place tonight so that's going to set things back again. And my cuticles are all cut up because of carrying (and dropping) things. Hence no photos today.
Onto the good news, nothing got broken (yay). I was very particular about carrying those boxes in, and, none of our fishies died during the moving process (double yay).

Destiny Dixon strips off her hot jeans short and shows her pussy.
Let's relax for a second and take a stroll with this beautiful brunette with a sexy body in the garden. We were just having a nice chat about her hobbies and what not when she looked at me, a naughty gleam in her eyes and next thing I know she's beginning to strip her clothes off! Well, who am I to resist this hot seductress? So I just watched in awe as she displays her sweet pair of tits before lowering her shorts down to where I can see her sexy ass! At this point, I had a raging boner in my pants and she made it even worse when she started to bend over to wiggle that fine ass and finally, almost came in my boxers as she spreads her pussy lips for me!

Road Bikes & Frames
Roadbike Ridley Liz SL Disc Design LSD 02AM with Shimano 105
The Liz is the quintessential "all-round" women's bike. The Liz offers a perfect blend between performance, weight, strength, stiffness and especially comfort for long days in the saddle. Its unique diamond shape tubing creates reinforced edges for a robust frame with increased impact-resistance.
For these reasons, it is the top choice frame for the Lotto-Soudal team. In fact, the women's team races with it all year long. It is lightweight and stiff with built-in comfort to handle the roughest of terrains.
While this bike expertly handles top competition, it is also perfectly suited for the part-time racer or recreational rider in terms of performance, comfort and cost. It's the optimal bike for tackling your next Gran Fondo or extended tour through the Flemish Ardennes.
The Liz SL Disc is top the Ridley women's "all-round" bike. The high-modulus carbon layup consists of 30-24-ton fibres. Equipped with disc brakes, it is ready to conquer everything in its path no matter the weather conditions or terrain. To compensate for the use of disc brakes, Ridley made the frame as light as possible without compromising its handling qualities. The lowered seatstays that compensate for the absence of caliper brake bridge increase the frame's stiffness for that extra boost in power-transfer.

Yamdrok Lake is a freshwater lake in Tibet, it is one of the three largest sacred lakes. It is over 72 km long. The lake is surrounded by many snow-capped mountains and is fed by numerous small streams. The lake does have an outlet stream at its far western end. Tour and hike round Yamdrok, you can visit not only the natural sightseeing, but also culture and people on Tibet.
Minimum number of people for the trip : 3 person
How we are DIFFERENT?
spectacular scenery and typical Tibetan villages along the way Welcome to Tibet! Upon your arrival at the airport, you will be greeted with a Tibetan scarf Hada in a traditional way which will bring you good luck in the following days. Then transfer to your hotel. Just lie on bed for adapting to the high altitude. It is helpful to take things easy for the first few days, and try to drink more water. Look forward to the second day's sightseeing in Lhasa.
Highlights: Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street
First day of sightseeing from Lhasa's cardinal mark—Potala Palace. You first sight of the Potala will still be an awe-inspiring moment. Drop a visit of Jokhang Temple in the afternoon, which is the spiritual center of Tibet and one of the oldest building. Everyday, pilgrims from every corner of Tibet trek a long distance to the temple which is the product of Han, Tibetan and Nepalese architectural techniques. Then you will visit Barkhor Bazaar nearby the temple, the oldest street in a very traditional city in Tibet also there is a big free market with its prolific stalls for selling local specialties.
Highlights: Drepung Monastery, catch the famous debate sessions of the monks in Sera monastery
Today visit once world's largest monastery housing with about 10,000 monks--Drepung Monastery, about 8km west of center Lhasa. At the plat roof of hillside, you can have very good views of the whole Lhasa city and the distant mountains. Then drive to Sera Monastery to catch the "Buddhism Scriptures Debating Session" in Sera which is very famous.
take all your belongings with you and drive to the nature of Tibet, the spot is around Yamdrok Lake and Langkatse. Hiking, trekking, bird watching(mainly in Spring), enjoy the fresh air in the nature, and such kind of activities out in to the Tibet nature. The most interesting thing is that you can visit the exclusive interesting monastery where the master is a female while her followers are monks, named as Samding. Before the sunset, photo the beautiful views, and have the dinner cooked outside in the nature. And stay overnight in the tent. But today's lunch is either meal box or eat in the same restaurant with the local people, decision of which is to your taste.
Dear Janet, I would like to thank you and your team for a wonderful tour setup. Begging with your professionalism, warm support and willingness to make our group tour successful one.And great thanks to Dhargye our tour guide who took care of whole group and especially myself during a night of vomiting. He and Mr. Namla- the driver were superb. I will send you some photos separately. Feel free to use them on your company's website. Am happy to give references as required.
Dear Janet,We are safe and sound home and are looking back at a very impressive trip to Tibet and Zhangye. We have between us some 3000 pictures – some quite stunning. Yesterday the four of us expressed what an unforgettable trip this has been. We want to share our appreciation for the way the trip has been organised. Like clockwork. All guides appearing at the right time and place. Everything was very well organised. It was a bit double for us when we were in Lanzhou hearing about the earthquake creating havoc in Nepal, but not leaving Tibet unaffected either. Thank you again for a trip to be remembered for a long time.
Jana Midriakova
Dear Nancy,I feel embarrased that I am answering only now but another couple of weeks of travelling and the beginning of the next semester at the university made me really busy. However, me and Olaf wanted to thank you for the amazing trip we had in Tibet! The organization was simply excellent, thank you for a very quick and informative communication from your side. Many thanks go also to our guide, Danluo as well as to our driver; both of them acted very professionally and kindly towards us. It was really great that our guide was of the Tibetan origin, providing us with a unique cultural insight and first-hand information. His English language skills were just perfect and the communication with him very pleasant.

Oswestry and Newtown Railway
Oswestry and
Newtown Railway
The Oswestry and Newtown Railway was a railway line that ran from Mid Wales to the Shropsire border town of Oswestry, later a constituent part of the Cambrian Railways.
Authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1855, delays in securing land, shortage of money and contractors going bankrupt delayed construction. It agreed to a joint station with the Newtown and Machynlleth Railway in Newtown, but decided to build a grand headquarters station at Oswestry.
Despite running along relatively flat land for the region, the O&NR faced crossing two major rivers. The first was the River Severn, which meandered its southern section south of Welshpool. The second was the River Vyrnwy, encountered once immediately to the south of Llanymynech. This section and onwards south to Newtown (Powys) hence became single track with passing loops within the stations to reduce costs, with the major traffic predicted to be north from the limestone quarries and Hoffman kilns accessed from Llanymynech.[1]
However, the directors underestimated the construction difficulties or resultant costs, and tighter and tighter contracts simply resulted in a number of contractors going bankrupt. But, despite all the difficulties, on 1 May 1860 it was the first railway company to reach Oswestry.[2]
In July 1864 on completion of the LNWR sponsored Oswestry, Ellesmere and Whitchurch Railway, to join with its neighbours (Newtown & Machynlleth, Llanidloes & Newtown) to form Cambrian Railways. A year later the coast lines joined too. On grouping in 1923, Cambrian Railways became part of the Great Western Railway.
Nantmawr branch[edit]
After the suspension of service on the Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway (PS&NWR) in June 1880, Cambrian Railways came to an agreement with Richard Samuel France, chief engineer of the PS&NWR, and its receiver on 28 January 1881, to maintain the stunted Nantmawr branch which accessed France's own quarries. The Cambrian would pay a royalty of 3d per ton, which was renewed but the toll was reduced to 2d a ton in January 1886.[3]
On 11 April 1894 the Cambrian agreed to build a 0.5-mile (0.80 km) deviation from its own Llanfyllin line to join the Nantmawr line at Wern. The Nantmawr branch reopened as a Cambrian subsidiary on 1 January 1896 and the deviation followed on 27 January. A lease for 99 years followed on 12 April 1900, with the Cambrian paying £555 a year: half itself, half from the Tanat Valley Light Railway, which opened on 5 January 1904.[3]
In 1963, the line was reallocated to become part of the London Midland Region. In the review under the Beeching Axe the Cambrian Railway mainline was decreed surplus to demands, and hence scheduled for closure.[2]
On 18 January 1965, passenger services between Whitchurch,Oswestry and Welshpool also the Llanfyllin branch were withdrawn. Passenger services between Oswestry and Gobowen continued until 7 November 1966. Freight services continued to run from Gobowen to Oswestry section until 1971.[4]
The southern section from the junction with the former Shrewsbury and Welshpool Railway at Buttington, through Newtown to the junction between the N&MR now forms part of the Transport for Wales Cambrian Line.
The single line, which allowed stone trains to run from Gobowen through Oswestry and Llynclys "North" Junction to Llanyblodwel quarry until 1988, is disused but still remains intact and in place today.[2] The Cambrian Heritage Railway (CHR) applied for a Transport & Works Act Order for transfer of NR's rights to itself and this was granted on 28 February 2017. This permits the CHR to reopen the route from Gobowen to Blodwel Quarry subject to level crossings of the A5 and A483 being replaced by a tunnel and overbridge respectively.[5]
The section from Pant to Llanymynech has been built on by housing and redevelopments while the former Four Crosses station site is now a milk factory and the section from Four Crosses to Arddleen has been returned to agricultural use although the station house and platform at Arddleen remains as a private residence. The trackbed to Pool Quay and Buttington has now become part of the A483. Buttington is still in use to Welshpool for services on the line from Pwllheli to Birmingham New Street.

Corruption Belief Busted!
While growing up, I was always told not to give in to corruption. As a child, I never knew what exactly corruption was. Therefore, grew up believing governments, and ALL government officials are corrupt. The belief was so strong that I dreaded interacting with government officials thinking that they will either fleece my money or they will not help. I don't exactly remember how this belief formed, but I remember people around me saying things

Fit Babe With Curvy Tits Shows Agent A Good Time
Anna (36 mins) Anna was quite pale but very classic haunting beauty about her... I softened her up by showing her some arty photos taken by a professional and told her that I could do the same for her if she played ball... I told her that I woul like to take some profile pictures of her to build up her portfolio so I could get her work. I explained to her that it was important for me to do the interview with the cameras so I could show the clients how she moved in front of the camera and what type of personality she has. Anna was quiet but she was taking it all in absorbing it into her brain. She didn't have a problem masturbating in front of camera, and even going further than that to get work. When she started to take her clothes off I know we were in for a good time, funnily enough she was into gogo dancing which give an instant boner imagining how she'd wiggle her awesome body around... Also she wearing a really nice pair of panties which was driving me crazy. After she'd aroused herself on the couch it was easy to persuade her to let me slip my dick inside. She had a lovely shaved moist pussy which was a pleasure to be inside.... After I pounded her for a while she give out a squeal and squirted all over the couch... Then I squirted myself all over her silky smooth skin.November 23, 2012

Cinderella. You cnt think princess without seeing Cinderella. This dress perfectly embodies her. With a slight blue tint and delicate features you will be a show stopping bride.
They aren't glass slippers but they'll do. 😉
Better believe this is a Disney product. Not only is it beautifully simple its perfect for the grown up princess in you.
This cake is so cute. However it may not be the right Cinderella cake for some. So I also found this one…
It even has Cinderella and Charming cake topper.
Love the little pumpkin. It serves as the ring pillow or in place of it actually. I dnt know where the silver carriage is at but I had to include it. Last is a very princess drapping for the head table or all of your tables if you like. You're the princess after all. 😉

Semantics in the wild: How does the brain deal with language in context?
While we know a lot about how the brain processes language on the level of words or single sentences, we understand surprisingly little about how the brain deals with longer segments like stories or real conversations. I want to understand how our brains can create vivid and multimodal mental 'images' from reading books or listening to interlocutors telling a story. The ultimate goal is to understand how the language system in the brain connects to other cognitive systems like episodic memory.
How do we understand metaphors?
Metaphors are interesting for language research because they tap into a special aspect of semantics: flexibility. When we use a verb in a non-literal manner, our brain needs to know the difference between a word and its potential meanings. This is what makes them sometimes hard to understand if they are new, but once we are familiar with a (group of) metaphors, we can easily use them. In one of my current projects, I want to find out in how far context helps us interpret metaphors. I want to figure out if the brain processes a metaphor in the same or different manner as literal sentences or its context.
The role of perspective taking in everyday cognition
Whether we remember the past, imagine situations, or read a map, perspective is a crucial feature in how cognition relates to the world. People seem to use both 1st person (actor's perspective) and 3rd person (observer's perspective) effectively but at the same time show great variation as to which perspective they seem to prefer. Which factors influence whether we use one or the other strategy and in which situations? Are some of us better in one perspective than the other? What strategy is most efficient in problem solving (e.g. navigating through a city based on maps or verbal route descriptions)? Can patients with compromised neural function compensate via the alternative strategy? I am trying to answer some of these questions in the context of language comprehension with healthy and patient populations.
How does human appearance affect interaction?
We know that the appearance of people does not only affect how we perceive them, but also how we relate and communicate with them. Beautiful people are often treated with preference while people with facial disfigurements are often associated with bad stereotypes and treated less favorable. While it has been established that these bad stereotypes exist, it is not clear whether these are learned preferences or a result of a basic behavioral response. The first step in finding a solution is to understand where it comes from. For now, the goal of this project is to disentangle perceptual, cognitive, and social aspects of face perception of people with facial disfigurements before and after cosmetic corrective surgery. On long term, I am interested in investigating the effects of facial disfigurement on interaction, particularly verbal communication.

Once again, I am going to draw from the experience of Kathy Ide to encourage and educate. In this video clip, which is featured on The Author Learning Center, Kathy shares some important tips for those who have not published before. The interview is less than three minutes long and definitely worth watching if you are working on your first book.
The tips are best said by Kathy, but here are the key points she makes.
Passion for your idea needs to be your motivation. Once you start the work of writing, it can be easy to forget the passion you had for your idea at the start, but don't. Remember what compelled you to want to write.
It is a long road from the idea to finished book. This is not a new idea, but it is good to be reminded of it.
Tenacity is needed to write and re-write. Like the tip before, this is a reminder that you need to stick with it to get to your goal and impact readers with your writing.
Don't give up. Remember there are people out there who will want to read what you have to say.

The Spotlight
Well, I went ahead and changed my account name and 'spotlight' shop name at Lulu to Arachis Press. Since I'll only be doing books there from now on, it seemed logical.
Now watch them bring out some great new different product and mess it all up!
Of course, the URL changed again: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/arachispress

From time to time, I see videos posted on Face Book or wherever of virtuosic playing. Often, the performances are on out-of-the-ordinary instruments such as ukuleles or bodhrans; sometimes, the more typical guitars and basses and banjos and so on.
The first thought is: that's amazing. The second thought is: what's the point? It may indeed be amazing but it's rarely entertaining. An exhibit of skill only keeps ones attention for a brief time.
Unless, of course, the viewer is also someone interested in the craftsmanship of playing. But they're not concerned with the music nor the performance, per se.
It's all well to play well! I've nothing against that. But I'd rather see someone strum the ukulele to accompany an entertaining song than a note-perfect rendition of some tricky and intricate piece. That, to some degree and no matter how well it is done, veers into self-indulgence. It entertains only the person playing it.
Which is okay. But don't expect me to gush over it.
Complexity for its own sake is a dead end. Artist's have walked down that road and into obscurity, from the start. It's usually the death of an artistic style, as well. Look (or listen) to the intricate music of the Late Renaissance, the multi-voiced and quite undecipherable polyphonic madrigals that were being turned out in the 16th Century.
Then take a listen to the simpler yet more interesting and understandable compositions of the early Baroque. Gabrieli, for example. Or Monteverdi, who wrote great music in both eras.
And that's the thing: the music was just as good despite being less complex. The same happened as the Baroque wound down. It became more complex and ornate before giving way to a new and more forceful Classicism (which is really a part of the whole Romantic era but we won't go into that here. Ha, my background in Art History is showing.). And so on.
I did veer a little off my original point there but I think it's all related. Artists (and other folks for that matter) tend to get off message, caught up in a 'look what I can do' mentality. We don't care what you can do, really; just what you have to say.

From the window, I can see my forty pounds of bounce, aka Tucky, herding imaginary sheep again. She runs as fast as she can in big circles out in the field. She does a good job of it just about every morning -- I don't think an invisible sheep has gone astray yet!

I like eating peanuts in the shell. Well, I take them out of the shell first but I like the process of having to shell them. I think the problem is that if I just buy a jar of shelled peanuts they only last a few hours. A bag of peanuts in the shell lasts me a few days. I have to get them unsalted though. I get a really bad headache from the salted kind.

'For every mind searching, for every body craving, for every spirit awakening, for every human being." So runs the slogan of the Mind Body Spirit Festival held in Sydney last week.
Highlights of the four-day festival at Darling Harbour included more than 70 psychics, clairvoyants and spiritualists assembled in one room like a small army of telephone operators connecting the living with the dead, performances of " chakra sound activation" and "organic dance" and workshops on topics as enigmatic as bio-spiritual healing, discovering your native totem animal guide, and unlocking the mysteries of Tantra and the Goddess.
Depending on how one looks at them, these kinds of gatherings are either marketplaces for New Age nonsense or expressions of the cutting edge of a new consciousness that seeks to integrate the material and spiritual realms for a whole new approach to living.
But just how should one look at them? In seeking an answer, a good starting point is Rachel Kohn's The New Believers, recently published by HarperCollins. Kohn will be familiar to many people as the presenter of The Spirit of Things on ABC Radio National. Over the years she has charted in that program the frontier territory of religious belief and practice; in The New Believers she offers a map providing directions to the trends in religious sociology.
She begins by demonstrating that the new believers, whom she describes as "the self-selected seekers who refuse to bow to the institutionalised cultural forms that masquerade as religious truth", are following in a long tradition of disenchantment with mainstream religion leading to more adventurous expressions of the spiritual quest.
Her opening chapter, for instance, is a commentary on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was written more than 100 years ago by L. Frank Baum. Baum was a theosophist who subscribed to the teachings of the clairvoyant and occasional levitator Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), who held that evolution was not merely a natural law but also a principle of individual development by which each person progressed through reincarnation to ever higher states of being.
Mixing science and Eastern mysticism, theosophy taught the limitless potential of every human being. Not surprisingly, as Kohn points out, the story of Dorothy's journey of self-discovery which leads her to unmask the Wizard as a fraud and declare "there's no place like home", became both an icon to the spirit of American individualism and a template for much of what passes as New Age enlightenment.
As well as the syncretism that characterises so much of the approach of "alternative spiritualities" - that is, picking the eyes out of a range of religious traditions and adding just enough science and philosophy to make the mix attractive to contemporary adherents - Kohn also shows how ideas transmogrify to match their audience.
So Buddhism in the West, for example, has largely demythologised much of what its practitioners in the East still accept and at times has even moulded its teachings about detachment and the virtue of the begging bowl into little more than a self-justification for the pursuit and enjoyment of wealth.
Kohn's book is a useful reality check for anyone drawn to the allure of new ideas and movements. But it also raises more general questions for all those interested in the changing nature of cultural beliefs.
Given the self-absorption of so much of what passes for spirituality these days, she asks: "How can one experience the mystery that transcends one's self if it is pursued in an endless round of rational inquiry, centred on the self?"
If the answer is one can't, then what satisfaction lies in this approach, beyond the endless novelty and often considerable expense of experiencing new forms of it? Elsewhere she wonders about the broader consequences of the fracturing of moral beliefs and the denial of even the possibility of a common ethical foundation.
"Communities and society in general cannot do without the so-called shared illusions of morality, translated into norms and law," she writes with good arguments to back up the statement.
"What is the possible basis of human co-operation if not the shared ideas and principles that embody those values we cherish most?"
The message of The New Believers is both reassuring and worrying: reassuring because we've seen it all before; worrying because we don't seem to have learnt the lessons that a thoughtful engagement with the mysteries of life requires a sense of history, sound logic and a willingness to debate our differences rather than use them as an excuse to distinguish ourselves from everyone else.

July 1, 2011. Dang. It's a gorgeous summer morning here in Wisconsin. With the amazing first half of the year I've had, I'm looking forward to the second half even more.
Normally, this time of the year I'd say something like, "I can't believe how fast this year is flying by!" But this year, things are different. I've been busy, but I've taken breaks too. I've been able to enjoy my successes, and learn from the failures.
How awesome has 2011 been so far?
I have written a couple very solid, in-depth technical blogs. I'm proud of them. But I'm not blogging a lot. This week, I realized why: I've been trying to blog about things I have no interest in. That was dumb. I love SSRS, and T-SQL, and solving problems. I was trying to write blogs about BULK INSERT and FILESTREAM. Why?
My focus for the next quarter is shifting. I want one blog a week. I'm going to shoot for one high-quality, in-depth technical blog a month. I also want one "I learned this and its awesome!" post. I want to keep writing about community projects I'm working on, presentations I've given, etc.
I am in love. I would stand up in front of a room of people and teach every day if I could. In April, I presented for MADPASS, and in June I gave a presentation at SQL Saturday 75.
Goal count: 2 of 3 user groups, 2 of 3 SQL Saturdays, and 1 other event (24 HOP). I've even surpassed my own expectations for the year. Read on for more…
Attend PASS Summit:
Not only am I attending PASS Summit, I'M SPEAKING. Me! Jes!
Seattle: you've been warned!
Cool community projects:
For the first time, I volunteered for the PASS Program Committee. I was on the speaker review team for PASS Summit. That was a very interesting, enlightening and fulfulling task. I highly recommend volunteering with PASS in some capacity. They have a role to fit almost any interest. You'll meet and get to work with some great people, too.
I'm very involved with MADPASS. We're holding our first official elections in August, and I'm running for the Director of Communications post. I have great ideas to grow the group, the speaker pool, the local talent, and the reach of our group.
The PASS WIT virtual chapter is hard at work on planning the WIT lunch for PASS Summit. I'm excited that I will get to moderate the excellent panel. Yet another reason I'm looking forward to October!
Have I said "no"? Yes! I have turned down a couple of opportunities that came my way because I didn't have the time and energy. And you know what? People didn't say, "Jes, I'm never speaking to you again. You've disappointed me forever." No, the world did not end. It was liberating.
Help Others:
Quoting myself from my first-quarter review: I hope I am doing this, every single day.
Help Myself:
I took it upon myself to learn about filegroups, and am putting together another presentation on this. I also have been studying XEvents, and will be teaching my team at work about them, then working on a presentation. I learn so much every week. I still need to reschedule my certification exam, though.
My feet are on fire! I ran my first half marathon in April. This was one of the sweetest moments of my life. It was horrible weather, but I still completed the race and met all my goals. Since then, I've relaxed a little bit, running just one 5K. I'm gearing up for another 5K in a month, then Warrior Dash, then another half marathon. I love running. It is The Thing That Keeps Me Sane.
I am at 300+ miles for the year, well on my way to reaching my goal of 500.
I also got the opportunity to help a friend, Steve Jones, celebrate his 1000th straight day of running. That was a lot of fun.
Coming up in July: my two year run-aversary. I hope you'll join me for a run on Wednesday, July 13!
So Far…So Good
This year keeps getting better and better. I didn't think anything could beat 2010, but 2011 is proving me wrong. I can't thank my friends and family enough for supporting me while I do all this crazy stuff. I have to thank the people that are reading my blogs and attending my sessions for giving me a reason to keep going. And I definitely have to thank the SQL community for being so damn awesome.
