Dr. Deanna Minich is an internationally-known nutritionist with a unique approach to holistic health, food and nutrition. She combines the various facets of her background integrating her academic training in medicine with her study of energy work including shamanic healing practices, reiki, yoga and intuition, the results of which have been published in several books through Red Wheel/Weiser/Conari. Through her years of experience, she has uncovered the art and unification of what occurs when food is connected with spirit. Recently, I sat down to speak with Deanna to learn more about her practical applications and work to help people achieve what she describes as …'bridging the gap between the earthly body of our being and the heavenly essence of our soul.
Kala: Deanna, wonderful to speak with you again. I enjoyed having you as a guest on the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show where we discussed your book, Chakra Foods for Optimum Health .Today, I'd like to speak with you about your book: Quantum Supplements; A Total Health and Wellness Makeover with Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs. Deanna, what prompted you to write this book?
Deanna: When we think about nourishment, it is important to think about everything that we ingest. Of course, everyone eats food, and with many people wanting to take control of their health, they are also taking dietary supplements in some form or another, whether it's a daily multi-vitamin, vitamin C tablet, or Echinacea if they feel they are becoming unwell. In addition, an increasing number of health care practitioners are implementing nutritional therapy in their practices, prescribing dietary supplements such as omega-3 oils or probiotics. As a result, there is more awareness about using supplemental nutrients overall.
Kala: How does nutrition affect the chakra system?
Deanna: Everything we do, say, think, and eat impacts our well-being. It is all "information" for the body to digest and transform. We have our physical body, which uses the nutrients from food as energy to live. In the ancient spiritual texts in India, they refer to more subtle aspects of our being – an "energy body" – which will respond to our environment just like our physical body. Our being is wired with paths for this subtle energy to travel on. There are certain places in the body where these "energy highways" coalesce – these intersections are the "chakras" or main energy centers. In Sanskrit, "chakra" means wheel, and, thus, this term is used to refer to the nature of these energy centers – they flux energy in and out of our being. In Western medicine, we might say that they correspond to the major endocrine glands of the body. Essentially, the way that I see chakras is as subtle and symbolic. Each of them connect to a specific aspect of our being: structure, emotions, power, love, authenticity, intuition, and interconnectedness. There is no doubt that food, supplements, and eating hook into each of these aspects of who we are. For example, instead of expressing our emotions, we may stuff them down with food. Instead of telling someone you love them, we may make them a meal. Rather than say what we want to eat, we may let someone else determine what goes in our mouth. Therefore, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to connect foods/nutrients/eating to these aspects.
Kala: How can the vibrational properties of vitamins, minerals and herbs help to balance our body and restore energy?
Deanna: By being in tune with what we need, we can use vitamins, minerals, and herbs to get us into balance. Just like foods, each vitamin, mineral, and herb carries its unique energetic signature. Minerals will be more dense and physical (think of iron, zinc, and calcium), vitamins act as catalysts (B vitamins are used for metabolizing carbohydrates), and herbs contain inherent information for healing (think of the origins of aspirin, white willow bark). I think it is beneficial to tap into supplements as needed. For example, perhaps we are living a stressful life. We are over-committed, over-tasked, and overwhelmed. What may happen is that our physiology begins to "mirror" our surroundings. We may start to feel on overdrive from within – our blood sugar may be erratic, our insulin levels may be overextended. Taking the mineral, chromium, or supplementing with herbs such as extracts from bitter melon and cinnamon, may help to provide the vibration we need to rope ourselves back into balance mode.
Kala: Are supplements enough to bring the body back into balance? For example, the american diet is so full of processed food, can one continue to eat processed food and maintain balance with the use of supplements?
Deanna: I don't believe in "quick fixes" or "silver bullets". Supplements are one therapy on a palette of many other options. They are potent substances, but also need the support of healthy, vibrant eating, movement, thinking, and emoting. Without everything else in combination, they may not be as powerful as they truly could be. I believe that the first approach to becoming well and maintaining balance is to look at one's lifestyle. Are you overworking? Are you passionate about what you do and how you live? If not, perhaps some changes need to be made. Eating nourishing foods will be helpful, and eating them in a mindful, loving way will be even better at assisting one in finding balance. An individual's surroundings may be so stressful that he or she can eat all the nutrient-dense food they want, but they may need added protection. An example would be living in a polluted city. In this instance, a healthy eating regimen combined with appropriate supplements can be of value.
Kala: There's a huge debate about vitamins, some say that cold pressed vitamins don't have much nutritional value. What are your feelings on the best way to absorb nutrients?
Deanna: First of all, I think it's important to examine the health of the gut. Is your gut in a healthy state? I believe it's better to start here so you can absorb everything you need to optimally rather than focus on the other way around – find supplements that can be absorbed in an unhealthy gut. There are a number of ways to heal an unhealthy gut – the first is to remove the offending substances that you eat. Find out what you are allergic to by working with a healthcare practitioner. Note that most of your immune system is in the gut, so if you are eating foods that you are allergic to, you will be creating an immune response every time you eat. You may also need to examine whether you are stressed when you eat, whether you eat too much, and if you are eating the proper amount at times that your digestion is robust (like eating a larger meal in the afternoon rather than in late evening before bedtime). Supplements such as pancreatic enzymes, probiotics, and fiber may be important in helping to heal the gut. Regarding absorbing nutrients, make sure you follow the instructions provided on the label. If it states to take with food, it's probably because it's a fat-soluble substance or it needs food to facilitate its absorption. There may be other supplements that are best absorbed and used by the body when taken throughout the day rather than in one dose, like calcium. Since we only absorb 20-25% of calcium on average, it is better to take smaller amounts throughout the day rather than one huge pill.
Kala: You're also the author of: An A to Z Guide to Food Additives: Never Eat What You Can't Pronounce. Sadly, I think 80 percent of what we see in products in the grocery store contain label descriptions that are difficult to pronounce. Why are our foods filled with such complicated ingredients?
Deanna: Our foods are filled with these "unpronounceables" because the majority of consumers want food to be convenient, cheap, abundant, and good tasting. As a result, the food industry responds to this consumer demand by creating additive-laden foods so they can sit on the shelves longer at a low price. As Michael Pollan has said, "We vote with our fork."
We need to take the responsibility as consumers to demand high-quality foods by speaking out, and by not supporting the purchase of the lower quality items. We put our energy where our money is. If we want to change, we need to start with our next food purchase, food selection in a restaurant, and, ultimately, with the next bite of food.
I would say that your best bet is to shop the perimeter of the store where there are more fresh foods rather than face the complicated foods in the "guts of the store" that are disguised in cardboard, metal, plastic, and Styrofoam.
Kala: Are there some additives that you'd like to attach a red light to and say Stop! Never eat these?
Deanna: Absolutely! There are some additives that don't do you any good to eat, and, in fact, may cause deleterious effects when consumed over a long period of time. One of them is TRANS FATS. Trans fats were created by the food industry to stabilize fats in a food. Now we know that they are awful for our cardiovascular system. They increase our bad cholesterol and reduce our good cholesterol, so not a good effect overall. As of 2006, it became the law to list trans fat content on Nutrition Facts Labels. However, if the content of trans fats is less than 0.5 grams, the food manufacturer can list the content of trans fats as zero! Therefore, you need to read the ingredient list, and if you see anything that says "partially hydrogenated" on it, be advised that it most likely has trans fats in it. The other "never" ingredient is ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS. I think that if we are eating a healthy diet, we will find these substances to be too sweet, and they may encourage cravings. Aside from potential cravings, many of them may have side effects, often neurological ones like headaches and dizziness in some people. I would avoid them at all costs!
Kala: Any tips you'd like to share with us on how best to shop and prepare our meals?
Deanna: The best way to shop is to make sure that you are not stressed when you are making food choices. Use the grocery store as a sanctuary. Enter into it in a meditative, purely calm state so that you can listen to what your body truly needs. In preparing your meals, do the same. Ensure that you like your kitchen, that you want to be in it – paint it a color that makes you feel creative. Orange is the color for creativity so that may be a good place to start. Light some candles, play some music, and create your meal. Whether you are shopping, or preparing or eating food, the most important part of all is that you feel your body and soul are nourished.
Kala: Deanna, a pleasure as always. Thanks for taking the time to share information on having a healthier lifestyle!
Deanna: The pleasure is mine! I enjoy getting the word out about healthy eating. If your readers want daily tips, please have them sign up for the "Food and Spirit Facebook Fan Page" or they can sign up for my newsletter via my website at www.foodandspirit.com. Nourishing wishes to all!

Deaver's perjury trial, while in a pretrial hearing in a separate courtroom in the U.S. Courthouse, U.S. District Judge Thomas Flannery denied defense motions to dismiss the indictment against Lyn Nofziger, former White House political director. Deaver is charged with lying to a grand jury and a House subcommittee on possible ethics law violations. Nofziger is accused of violating the Ethics in Government Act by contacting former White House colleagues on behalf of clients. Flannery reserved decision on several motions, including a claim that the indictment did not properly allege that Nofziger intended to violate the ethics law.

One popular lecturer on line [I won't link because I prefer not to get personal] likes to say that Rav Hutner became Satmar later in life and blamed the Holocaust on the Zionists in his article in the Jewish Observer 1977.
The magic of the internet allowed me to access this seminal article on the Churban [he doesn't like the term "Shoah" and prefers "Churban"]. Here is a direct quote:
"It should be needless to say at this point that since the churban of European Jewry was a tochacha phenomenon, an enactment of the admonishment and rebuke which Klal Yisroel carries upon its shoulders as an integral part of being the Am Hanivchar - G-d's chosen ones - we have no right to interpret these events as any kind of specific punishment for specific sins. The tochacha is a built-in aspect of the character of Klal Yisroel until Moshiach comes and is visited upon Klal Yisroel at the Creator's will and for reasons known and comprehensible only to Him.

Bringing down Rather was the turning point in the war between the Old Media and the New Media. And the first shot in that war, it's Lexington and Concord, was fired by Buckhead.
Congressman Billybob
Latest article: "Rep. Taylor's Office Caught in an Obvious Lie in Attempt to Smear John Armor"
The point is, we have to have facts on our side.
For every buckhead post, there are 99 posts that are speculation that doesnt pan out, or is just plain wrong.
The MSM uses that 'noise' to discredit the good work that is done.
Right now, it is bloggers (and a few independent journies like Steven Hayes) that are driving the Saddam documents story ... a story the MSM is mainly ignoring.

Philadelphia Flyers: 5 Things Van Riemsdyk Must Do to Live Up to ContractSeptember 16, 2011
Philadelphia Flyers: 5 Things Van Riemsdyk Must Do to Live Up to Contract
With great money comes great expectations.
That is a lesson young Philadelphia Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk is about to learn first-hand after signing a six-year, $25.5 million contract just two short months after witnessing the untimely departure of two former teammates in Jeff Carter and Mike Richards.
What must the young JVR do to live up to his shiny new contract and avoid a similar fate? Read on to find out.
As always, comments are welcome and appreciated.
Task No. 5: Produce in the Regular Season
JVR's first task is rather simple: produce like a player making $4.25 million per season.
In today's NHL, a player in the mold of van Riemsdyk with that cap hit should be expected to produce between 50 and 75 points, with at least 25 of those points coming on goals. For JVR, those are expectations that he should have no problem exceeding—he notched 40 points (21G, 19A) in just 75 games last season.
JVR will be entering his third full NHL campaign in 2011-12, which is statistically the first in a power forward's "break-out" cycle (seasons 3 through 5). He'll also be able to take far more shots this season than he did last, thanks in large part to the departure of Jeff Carter.
On the Flyers' end, the stage seems to be well-set for JVR's breakout performance. All of the key pieces are in place, both on the ice and off.
Now it's up to the young Flyers winger to prove he was worth the investment.
Task No. 4: Keep His Private Life Private
This might possibly be the most difficult task for JVR in the wake of his new contract.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it wasn't the alleged drinking and partying itself that landed Mike Richards and Jeff Carter plane tickets out of town; it was the attention surrounding the drinking and partying.
I don't think anyone in the professional sports world is naive enough to believe that professional athletes never engage in the "fun" side of fame.
However, there is a fine line between going out and having a good time with friends at a club and chronically bar-hopping around Old City. One is acceptable and expected; the other, not so much.
As I said, it's a fine line. But if JVR wants to live up to his new deal, it's one he'll need to walk. If he needs advice, I'd suggest starting with veterans Danny Briere and Scott Hartnell, both of whom have been around the game (and the party scene) at various points in their careers.
Task No. 3: Work, Work and Work Some More
Its no secret that Philadelphia is a blue-collar town. It's an underdog's town. It's a city where the fans love athletes who give it their all every minute of the game, where the players bleed passion and where heroes never, ever, ever give up.
If JVR hopes to win the love and adoration of the fanbase that was raised on "Rocky" (the good ones), he's going to need to work like the Italian Stallion. He's going to need to give 120% every time his skates touch the ice. He's going to need to fight on every shift.
He's going to need to show the passion and the emotion and the heart the city of Philadelphia has come to expect from it's iconic athletes. He's going to need to be another John LeClair or Rod Brind'Amour, both on the ice and off.
Task No. 2: Stay on Laviolette's Good Side
If the Flyers' moves over the summer were an indication of anything, it was that this team belongs to head coach Peter Laviolette.
Gone are the days when superstar players are prioritized over Stanley Cup-winning coaches. "Lavs" is here to stay; if JVR wants to enjoy a similar fate, he's going to need to play nice with Peter.
It sounds simple, but it really is true. If JVR "buys in" to Laviolette's coaching philosophy, works hard and avoids the party lifestyle, he'll be well on his way to tremendous success and a fantastic Flyers legacy.
If he does not, he'll be following Richards and Carter.
Task No. 1: Perform in the Playoffs, Win in the Playoffs
Again, this is something that sounds simple in theory. In practice, not so much.
JVR's performance in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs was nothing short of dominant. He managed 70 shots and over 50 scoring chances in just 11 games while playing against two of the best defensive teams in the league. Mission accomplished on that front—for now.
In the seasons to come, JVR must follow in the footsteps of players like Claude Giroux, Mike Richards and Danny Briere. He must be at his best when the stakes are at their highest. He must elevate his game when it matters most.
Playing a key role in a Stanley Cup run wouldn't hurt, either.

JOBS Review
By: RAMA
Today we have RAMA reviewing JOBS for us. Please make sure to LIKE his Facebook page and make sure to follow him on Twitter.
This film could have so much potential and I'm not going to lie, I did enjoy some moments, and my goodness, every actor featured in this film looked and probably even behaved almost exactly like the real life characters they portray, especially Ashton Kutcher. I still don't think Ashton is a great actor but the man sure does resemble Jobs, it's quite eerie. But JOBS falls short in a lot of ways. It's a nice effort, you gotta give the filmmakers kudos for trying, but the film falls short.
It only takes one person to start a revolution.
The extraordinary story of Steve Jobs, the original innovator and ground-breaking entrepreneur who let nothing stand in the way of greatness. The film tells the epic and turbulent story of Jobs as he blazed a trail that changed technology — and the world – forever.
Maybe some of you have read Walter Isaacson's book about Steve Jobs, guess what, this movie is not based on it. Maybe some of you have watched that old TV movie Pirates Of Silicon Valley, it probably is not a good idea to compare JOBS to that either. Or maybe you have just heard bits and pieces or some info here and there or what the media told you about the man, Steve Jobs, you may not know much, but you know some and knowing some is probably what got writer Matt Whiteley and director Joshua Michael Stern to making this biopic in the first place.
Therefore, 'some' or 'bits and pieces' is what this movie provides, and audiences are left unsatisfied and misinformed.
JOBS has good intentions, I'm not kiddin', this movie is filled with one inspiring quote after another, and it gets played out way too much. I understand that the filmmakers want the audience to come out of the theaters motivated to put everything on the line to excel in their lives, but if I want a series of pep talks, I could just buy Tony Robbins' audio books.
So the writing is weak in that sense, it bombards us with inspiring words and yet it's afraid to explore some of the essential moments that I think could be beneficial if it had been dug deeper. So you're left with a case of the blue balls. And I think the movie suffers from confusing itself as to which segment of Jobs' life it wants to focus on. Like I said earlier, bits and pieces. Ya, there's some Bill Gates Vs. Steve Jobs going on but it was just one scene. The film suggests Steve Jobs not wanting even the idea of having a child get in the way of his big dream and yet you'd eventually see him reconciling and becoming a family man without telling us how point A connects to point B. There are countless instances like that in the film that just goes to show that both Whiteley and Stern just don't have the caliber to take on a material like this.
A story about a giant like Steve Jobs needs to be handled by filmmakers who can develop hard-hitting fierce drama, one that's still inspiring but doesn't necessarily have to sell itself as inspirational.
I give props to Ashton Kutcher who managed to capture the fact that Steve Jobs was indeed a major world renown a-hole but there are just too many unexplained loopholes in this film.
It doesn't matter if you have a group of guys who look just like the real life characters they play, if the script is mediocre, and their acting are just not up to par and if their characters aren't done justice and if all they have to say are a collection of cheesy lines.
Again, JOBS means well, it's a decent effort, but I wouldn't blame those who'd rather wait for the Aaron Sorkin's version for Sony Pictures, based on Walter Isaacson's book, because at the very least we have confidence that Sorkin knows which aspects of Steve Jobs' life he's going to focus on, we'll have a clear, well-structured film then, unlike this bits and pieces that is JOBS.

Why "Thank You" Is Good for Business
At Sneeze.it we're always looking for new ways to help clients increase revenue and expand their social network. So it's not uncommon for us to share little known facts or information that helps to get their creative juices flowing. Our goal is to prompt our clients to build unique marketing and advertising strategies around social media that make them stand out from their competitors. If providing unusual facts or calendar items like National Talk Like a Pirate Day makes this happen, then all the better.
That brings me to my point. When you take something out of the ordinary and build a marketing campaign from it, sometimes you get great results that you didn't count on. We laugh at some of the bogus holidays that seem to pop up every year and joke about Hallmark commercials, but if you think about it, appealing to people from an emotional or fun and visual standpoint is a good way to get your Facebook postings, Tweets, and Pinterest boards shared with others. But what does this have to do with why thank you is good for business? Well, January is National Thank You Month!
I'm challenging you to take this opportunity to come up with creative social media campaigns that thank your customers, show employee appreciation, or highlight the reasons people should or are thankful for your products and services. These are just a few examples, but if you think about it, saying "Thank You" gives you a lot of material and when coupled with your social media sites it can be the basis for lively interactions with your followers.
For example, why not have a contest that allows your customers to post videos on your YouTube channel about why they're thankful for your product, pick the best video for a grand prize, then announce the winner and share it on Facebook? Promote the contest on Twitter, Pinterest and your other sites, create your own video thanking all your customers and announcing the big winner then share it far and wide. Are you seeing how you can use your social media to its fullest now?
Okay, so National Thank You Month may not be a federal holiday, but showing appreciation in unique ways is not a bad thing. And how many of your competitors do you think will be talking about thanking consumers in addition to discussing New Year's resolutions and offering discounts? If you take a different approach, use your social media network effectively and keep your content educational and fresh, you just might get a lead in the marketplace from the onset in 2013. Need ideas? Give us a call at 800-223-4342.

Behavioral scientists routinely publish broad claims about human psychology and behavior in the world's top journals based on samples drawn entirely from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. Researchers – often implicitly – assume that either there is little variation across human populations, or that these "standard subjects" are as representative of the species as any other population. Are these assumptions justified? Here, our review of the comparative database from across the behavioral sciences suggests both that there is substantial variability in experimental results across populations and that WEIRD subjects are particularly unusual compared with the rest of the species – frequent outliers. The domains reviewed include visual perception, fairness, cooperation, spatial reasoning, categorization and inferential induction, moral reasoning, reasoning styles, self-concepts and related motivations, and the heritability of IQ. The findings suggest that members of WEIRD societies, including young children, are among the least representative populations one could find for generalizing about humans. Many of these findings involve domains that are associated with fundamental aspects of psychology, motivation, and behavior – hence, there are no obvious a priori grounds for claiming that a particular behavioral phenomenon is universal based on sampling from a single subpopulation. Overall, these empirical patterns suggests that we need to be less cavalier in addressing questions of human nature on the basis of data drawn from this particularly thin, and rather unusual, slice of humanity. We close by proposing ways to structurally re-organize the behavioral sciences to best tackle these challenges.

Supremacy battles pitting aspirants overshadowed President Uhuru Kenyatta's campaign tour in his home county on Sunday.
Jubilee Party candidates, independents and those vying on other parties allied to Jubilee were present during campaign rallies.
Uhuru, who was accompanied by his deputy William Ruto, was on a campaign tour of five constituencies of the vote-rich county where they pitched for six-piece voting pattern.
They toured Kiambu town, Githunguri, Ruiru, Juja and Thika town constituencies.
At several stop-overs, the President and his deputy, however, had a hard time trying to contain supporters of independent candidates and those vying on other parties who were holding banners, placards and chanting slogans in support of their preferred candidates.

The supporters carried banners bearing messages supporting the two. However, they cautioned Uhuru and Ruto against endorsing any candidate and instead advised them to let the people decide come August 8.
In Kiambu town, Uhuru and Ruto had a difficult time trying to plead with the supporters of the various candidates who were holding banners to put them down.
Jubilee nominees
In Ruiru town, the call by the President to locals to support Jubilee nominees, including Ferdinand Waititu for governor, were met with some resistance. Some supporters shouted back the name of Governor William Kabogo.
The supporters even raised banners and placards bearing the pictures and messages supporting Kabogo for the President to see.
Kabogo, who was handed a humiliating defeat by Waititu in the Jubilee primaries, will be defending his seat as an independent candidate.
He has since been elected the chairman of Kenya Alliance of Independent Candidates.
"I want you to give me people who I can work with in my second term. You never saw me interfere with the nominations, and I said that I will work with the leaders that you will nominate," said Uhuru.
The same fate befell Ruto in the same town when he was confronted with pro-Kabogo chants and slogans, forcing the DP to make a tactical move where he hailed the governor as a close friend.
The same scenario was repeated in Thika when the duo's efforts to campaign for area MP Alice Ng'ang'a, who is facing stiff competition from Patrick Wainaina commonly known as Wainaina wa Jungle, proved futile at Thika stadium.

Leila Seth, J.
1. These are two income-tax reference pertaining to two individual partners of the firm known as M/s. Kundan Lal Madan La. The said firm was doing business in coal. The assessment year with which we are concerned is 1966-67, the accounting period ending on 24th October 1965. Kundan Lal filed his return for this year on 26th February, 1971, and indicated therein an income of Rs,. 6,318. Madan Lal also filed his return on 26th February, 1971, and showed an income of Rs,. 5,818.
2. On 20th March, 1971, the ITO completed the assessments of both the partners and computed a total income of Rs. 17,601 for Kundan Lal and Rs. 16,101 for Madan Lal. In these sums he included a capital gain of Rs. 5,190 in the case of each partner. This was as result of an enquiry made by the ITO. This enquiry had revealed that a property at Chandigarth, which stood in the joint names of the partners of the firm, M/s/. Kundan Lal Madan Lal, has been sold for a sum of Rs,. 30,000. This property has been originally purchased for Rs. 7,700 and the taxable capital gains after deductions was Rs. 10,380.
3. As neither of the assesseds has declared their proportionate capital gain in their respective returns, the ITo initiated patently proceedings under s. 271(1)(c) of the I. T. ACt, 1961 (in short, 'the ACt'). The cases were referred to teh IAC on 1sat March, 1973, by the IYTo was as in hi view the d penalty imposable exceeded RS. 1,000.
4. Show cause notices were issued to teh two assesseds by the IAC under s. 274(2) of the ACt. In reply, the assesses submitted that the patently proceedings were invalid as notices has not been received by them from the ITo under s. 271(1)(c). The IAC rejected this contention as the relevant assessments orders unequivocally mentioned the initiation of proceedings under. 271(1) (c). further the show case notices were to be issued by the IAC's office and this has been done and duly served in March, 1973. On merits, the IAC held that as the assesses has omitted to indicate the capital gains anywhere in their respective returns, it was clearly established that they has furnished inaccurate particulars of their income. In the circumstance, he imposed a patently of Rs. 3,500 on each of the assesseds.
5. The assesses being aggrieved appealed to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal. the mains point urged before the Tribunal was that the IAC has no jurisdiction to impose penalties in these cases in view of the amendment to s. 274(2) of the ACt by the Amending ACt 42 of 1970. By the said amendment, which came into force on 1st April 1971, the matter has to be referred by the IYTO to the IAC only if the income concealed exceeded Rs. 25,000. As this was not the case herein, the IAC could not assume jurisdiction which he did not have, the relevant date being the date of the reference. Further, on merits, it was urged that there was no concealment of income and the capital gains was not shown in the returns under a 'misapprehension of law'.
6. The Tribunal allowed the assesses, appeal and cancelled the patently. If held that the IAC has no jurisdiction to impose any patently in view of the amendment to s. 274(2).
7. The Commissioner of Income-tax being aggrieved prayed for a reference and as a result the following questions of law has been referred for our opinion :
Whether, in the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the Inspecting Assistant Commission of Income-Tax did nt. have the jurisdiction to impose the patently in this case nd thus canceling the penalty of Rs. 3,500 levied by the Inspecting Asst. Commissions under section 271(1)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 1961?'
8. Mr. Wazir Singh appearing for the Revenue has argued that 6the jurisdiction which has already been vested in the IAC by virtue of the assessment order dated 20th March, 1971, could not be divested by the amendment which came into force thereafter on 1st April, 1971. He contends that it is the date of the initiation of the penalty proceedings which is relevant and not the date of the reference.
9. Ms. Meera Bhatia appearing for the assessed, contends to the country. She submits that the show-case notice was admitted only issued in March, 1973, under s. 271(1)(c) and on that date the IAC has no jurisdiction. According to her it is the date of the reference, which is relevant for the determination of the IAC's jurisdiction. She contends that if a reference is not validly made then the IAC cannot proceed with the matter.
10. In order to appreciate the contention of the parties and ascertain the correct position, it is necessary to examine the relevant provisions of the ACt.
11. Section 271 provides for imposition of penalty on an assessed e for failure to furnish returns and comply with certain notices without reasonable cause as also for concealment of income. Section 271(1)(c) as it stood at the relevant time reads :
'If the Income-tax Officer or the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, in the course of any proceedings under this ACt, is satisfied that any person-........
(c) has concealed the particulars of his income or furnished inaccurate particulars of such income,
he may direct that such person shall pay by way of patently,-.........
(iii) in the cases referred to in clause (c), in addition to any tax payable by him, a sum which shall not be less than but which shall not exceed twice, the amount of tax sought to be evaded by reason of the concealment of particulars o his income or the furnishing of inaccurate particulars of such income :.......'
12. The question whether an act or an omission is an offense has to be examined with relevance to the law as it stand on the date of commission or omission. This is the date when the default takes places namely, when an incorrect return is filed involving concealment to income, and not with regard to the year of assessment or the making of the assessment or the initiation of penalty proceedings. The quantum of the patently has to be arrived at with regard to the law as on that date i.e., the date of default.
13. In Brij Mohan v. CIT : [1979]120ITR1(SC) , the assessed a partner in tow firms, filed this returns of income for the assessment year 1964-65 on 24th April, 1968, and disclosed there only his share of profits in one of the two firms. As a result the ITo initiated patently proceedings under clause (iii) of s. 271(1) of the Act as amended by the Fiance ACt, 1968. Having regard to the minimum penalty livable the matter was referred to the IAC, who levied the patently livable the matter was referred to the IAC, who levied the patently to of a sum equal to the income concealed. The assessed appealed and argued that the amended provision could not be invoked and the operative law was as it stood in the assessment year 1964-65.
14. The Supreme Court set out the amended and amended clause (iii) and noted that the quantum of tax livable under the substituted clause (iii) was greater than that imp9sable in terms of the original clause (iii). Pathak J., speaking for the court, while dealing with s. 271(1)(c)(iii), opined (p. 4) :
In our opinion the assessment of the total income and the computation of tax liability is a proceeding which, for that purpose, m is governed by entirely different consideration from a proceedings for penalty imposed for concealment of income. And this is so notwithstanding that the income concealed is the income assessed to tax. In the case of the assessment of income and the determination of the consequent tax liability, the relevant law is the law which rules during the assessment year in respect of which the total income is assessed and the tax liability determined,. The rate of tax is determined by the relevant Finance Act. In the case of a patently, however, we must remember that a panatelas imposed on account of the commission of a wrongful act, and plainly it is the law rating on the date on which the original act is committed which determine the patently. Where penalty is imposed for concealment of particular of income, it is the ; law ruling on the date when the act of concealment takes place which is relevant. It is wholly immaterial that the income concealed was to be assessed in relation to an assessment year in the past.'
15. It is, thereforee, clear to us that an assessed ho has concealed the particulars of his income would be liable; e to penalty under clause (iii) of s. 271(1), as it stood on the date of concealment. In the present case, that was on 26th February, 1971, when the returns were filed.
16. But the query that immediately arises for consideration is who has the jurisdiction to impose the penalty, the ITO or the IAC?
17. Section 271 confers power on the ITO or the AAC to impose a pently. but this is subject to s. 274.
18. Section 274, confers power on the ITO or the AAC to impose a penalty. But this is subject to s. 274.
19. Section 274, before its amendment by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) ACt, 1970, read :
'274. Procedure-(1) No order imposing a patently under this Chapter shall be made unless that assessed has been hears, or has been given a reasonable opportunity of being hears.
(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in clause (iii) of sub-section (1) of section 271, if in a case falling under clause (c) of that sub0section, the minimum penalty imposable exceeds a sum of rupees one thousand, the Income-tax Officer shall refer the case to the Inspecting Assistant Commissioner who shall, for the purpose, have all the powers conferred under this Chapter for the imposition of penalty.
(3) An Appellate Assistant Commissioner on making an order under this Chapter imposing a patently shall forthwith send a copy of the same to the Income0-tax Officer.'
20. As a result of s. 49 of the I. T. (Amend.) ACt, 1970, which came into force on 1st April, 1971, s,. 274(2) was amended to read as follows :
' (2) Notwithstanding anything contained in clause (iii) _ of sub-section (1) of section 271, if in a case falling under cause (c) of that sub section, the amount of income (as determined by the Income-tax Officer on assessment) in respect of which the particulars have been concealed or inaccurate particulars have been furnished exceeds a sum of twenty-five thousand rupees, the Income-tax Officer shall refer the case to the Inspecting Assistant Commissioner who shall, for the purpose, have all the power conferred under this chapter for the imposition of penalty.'
21. It is apparent from teh above that till 1st April, 1971, the ITO has no jurisdiction to impose the patently under s. 271(1)(c) if the minim patently was more than Rs,. 1,000. In such a case had no choice but to make a reference to the IAC who would exercise the power. However, after 1st April, 1971, the ITO has jurisdiction to impose a penalty, if the concealed income (or the which inaccurate particulars has been furnished was less than Rs. 25,000.
22. In the present case before 1st April, 1971, as the minimum penalty impossible exceeded Rs. 1,000, it was the IAC who had jurisdiction; but after 1st April, 1971, as the income concealed did not exceed Rs. 25,000 it would be the ITo who would have jurisdiction.
23. Section 274, as it wa before 1st April, 1971, required the ITO to refer the case to the IAC if the the minimum penalty imposable exceeded a sum of Rs., 1,000. On a reference being made by the IYTo the IAC got jurisdiction to impose the penalty.
24. But what happens to pending matters as on 1st April, 1971? Do they have to be transferred from one to the other? Is the amendment purely procedural affecting only the machinery for imposing and collecting the patently? Is the extension of the time-limit for imposition of penalty a procedural or a substantive matter? These and a host of connected question1s can arise for consideration.
25. There are two streams of though on these aspects as is apparent from the various decisions of the High Courts. With regard to pending matters in a recent decision in CIt v. A, N. Tiwari : [1980]124ITR680(MP) , the Madhya Pradesh High Court has held, following the decision of the Gujarat High court in CIT v. Royal Motor Car Co. : [1977]107ITR753(Guj) and CIt v. Manu Engineering Works : [1980]122ITR306(Guj) , as also the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in Addl. CIt v. Dr. Khaja Khutabuddinkhan : [1978]114ITR905(AP) and dissenting from the decision in Cit v. Dhadi Sahu [1976] 106 ITR 56 and CIT v. Om Sons : [1979]116ITR215(All) , that the IAC continues to have jurisdiction to impose a penalty with regard to a valid reference pending before him on 1st April, 1971, even if the amount of income concealed does not exceed Rs. 25,000. The two views that emerge are : (i) that patently proceedings pending with the IAC since before 1st April, 1971, cannot be contained unless the conditions of the amended law with regard to jurisdiction have been fulfillled; and (ii) that the change of form brought about by the amended law does not affect pending matters; unless an intention to the contrary is clearly indicated; since there is no requirement or provision for transfer of the matters from one authority to the other and no other induction of any such intention, the matters validly pending before the IAC will not be invalidated by the amendment.
26. HOwever, we do not purpose to examine the correctness of these two views, as it is not necessary for the purpose of this case. Even assuming that a referees validly made by the ITO to the IAC before 1st April, 1971, would not be invalidated by virtue of the above mentioned amendment to s. 274(2) this would not held the Revenue as it is apparent to us that, in fact, no such reference has been made. A reference can only be said to have, been made on the date of the reference; and in the present case, that is, 1st March, 1973, being after the amendment. It is not possible to hold that the reference was made at an earlier date, e.g., when a patently notice was issued by the IYTO or the assessment order was passed. An example will clinch this matter. An ITO may issue a penalty notice thinking that several additions made by him attract penalty; but the assessed's reply to the show-cause notice may connives him that only some, and not all the additions warrant the patently. If such consideration is made by him and he finds, after 31st March, 1971, that the concealed income is less than Rs. 25,000 he cannot at all refer the case to the IAC even though when he sent the initial notice, the test was different. There is thereforee, logic in coinciding that the IAC is seized of the proceedings only which a reference is made to him by the ITO.
27. Since there was no validly pending reference before the IAC on 1st April, 1971, would he still have been entitled to impose a patently with regard to a matter where the minimum penalty imposable is in excess of Rs. 1,000 by the concealment of income is less than Rs. 25,000? It would appear not. Though the assessment was made by the ITO as far back as 20th March, 1971, he made the reference only on 1st March, 1973. In the assessment order the indicates 'penalty notice u/s. 274 read with ss. 271(1) (a) and 271(1) (c) has already been issued.'
28. But it is only on 1st March, 1973, that the makes the orders of reference and informs the assessed that the case for levy of penalty under s. 271(1)(c) is being referred to the IAC, Range-II, New DElhi, under s. 274(2). But by that date the law has changed and it was really the ITO, who had the jurisdiction to impose the penalty, m as the income concealed was less than Rs. 25,000. On 1st March, 1973, the ITO could have made a valid reference to the IAC only if the concealed income or of which inaccurate particulars has been furnished, exceeded Rs. 25,0000. This not being the case no valid reference could be made. The source of the IAC'; sd jurisdiction is a reference validly made. it is the condition precedent for the assumption of jurisdiction by the IAC. If the IYTO fails to make a reference to teh IAC, he cannot proceed; similarly if the ITO makes and invalid reference, the IAC is not conferred with any jurisdiction. It would, thereforee, appear to us that the date of the reference is very material.
29. The language of s. 274(2) also seems to support this synthesis. The direction that the ITO 'shall refer the case to the IAC, if the condition indicated therein is satisfied, and the conferment on the IAC of the powers under Chap. XXI for the imposition of penalty are relevant. This is clearly indicative of the fact that the jurisdiction of the IAC, for the purpose of the imposition of a penalty, is derived on a reference made to him by the ITO. If the reference accords with the provisions of s,. 274(2) as on the date of the reference it will be valid.
30. thereforee, we are of the op[ion that the law that determines the question of jurisdiction of the authority concerned is the law prevalent on the date of conferment of power to that authority, in this case the date of reference. With respect we do not agree with the view expressed by the Madras High court in Continental Commercial Corporation9on v. ITo : [1975]100ITR170(Mad) , that the jurisdictions dependent on the date of concealment, that is the date of filling of the return. the Karnataka High Court in Addl. CIt v. M. Y. Chandraji : [1981]128ITR256(KAR) , has also not agreed with the view of the Madras High Court.
31. The decision of the Supreme Court in Brij Mohan : [1979]120ITR1(SC) , according to us, does not cover the point in issue, section 271(1)(c)(iii) was being examined. Section 273, 274 and 275 were not considered there. As such, it would perhaps not be proper to stretch the decision to bring s. 274(2) within its ambit. Though the Supreme Court holds that 'Plainly it is the law operating on the date on which the Wrongful act is committed which determines the penalty', it doe not suggest that the authority which shall impose the patently will be determined by the law as on the date of concealment. It would thereforee, appear to us that though the relevant date for determining the question of penalty is the date of concealment, the relevant date for determining the authority, who is entitled to impose the penalty, m is the date of reference. If the condition precedent for exercise of the power to confer jurisdiction on the IAC by referring the matter of this is lacking on the relevant date due to the enlargement of the power of the ITO, the IAC cannot be validly clothed with power. With respect, m we do not accept the view of there Punjab & Haryana High Court in CIT v. Mela Ram Jagdish Raj & Co. , that the act of reference is a ministerial act.
32. To sum up, the question whether an act or omission is an office is to be determined buy the law as on the date of the offence. The quantum of penalty must also be determined in accordance with the law a it stand on the date of infringement. But when an authority has to be empowered to impose the penalty, then the relevant date becomes the date of empowerment, i.e. the date of reference to the IAC.
33. In the result and for he reasons outlined above, the question is answered in the affirmative and in favor of the assesses. As the assesses have succeeded, they will be entitled to costs. Counsel's fee Rs. 350.

Hello my name is ***** ***** I will help you.
Is what the school saying correct on file though?Alex
Do you know what was recorded on file?
Ok - you need to write and make a formal complaint and say unless its investigated and you will go to the Council. If they do nothing about it then you can complain to the Council. They will investigate the matter for you. If that does not resolve the matter you can complain to the Local Government Ombudsman. They offer a free, independent service and can investigate your complaint at: www.lgo.org.uk

Can I clarify anything for you about this today please?Alex
Not without permission, no. Does that clarify?Alex
The Council generally run the school, because they are funded by it. I dont know what process the Council will involve, but they can certainly look into it.
Does that clarify? Alex
Not without permission. But again it could be challenged. Alex
Ok - good luck with the school issue. Alex

Stock futures signal gains; eyes on jobs data
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a higher open on Wall Street on Friday, ahead of eagerly-awaited monthly U.S. jobs data and unemployment rate.
At 5:29 a.m. EDT, futures for the S&P 500 were up 0.44 percent, Dow Jones futures were up 0.41 percent and Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.34 percent.
Investors were bracing for monthly U.S. payrolls figures and unemployment rate, due at 8:30 a.m. EDT, for further clues on the health of the U.S. economy.
U.S. employers are expected to have eliminated 225,000 jobs last month, according to the median forecast of 81 economists polled by Reuters, down from 247,000 in July, while the unemployment rate is forecast to have inched up to 9.5 percent from 9.4 percent.
Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher on Thursday said the United States should have a good snap-back from recession in the final months of 2009, but that future growth could be a slow crawl.
You could have a stout third-quarter (GDP) number, Fisher told reporters after a speech at the University of California in Santa Barbara.
IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said on Friday the global economy is emerging from a deep downturn, but the recovery will be sluggish and unwinding stimulus measures too soon could derail an upswing. Speaking at a Bundesbank conference in Berlin, Strauss-Kahn expressed concern about the risks of a rise in unemployment, which he said could lead to a decline in potential growth and social consequences which were even more worrisome.
Oil ticked up above $68 a barrel in relatively thin dealing, while gold hovered a hair below $1,000 an ounce on Friday, consolidating the biggest two-day gain since March after a mix of inflation anxiety, a retreat from risk assets and a technical break stoked renewed investor interest.

Japan's Nikkei average <.N225> fell 0.3 percent to hit its lowest close in five weeks on Friday, with investors' reluctance to buy ahead of key U.S. jobs data outweighing short-covering on better-than-expected U.S. sales figures.
U.S. shares gained ground Thursday, halting a four-day losing streak, after stronger-than-expected retail sales data eased recent worries about the pace of the economic recovery.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> was up 63.94 points, or 0.69 percent, at 9,344.61. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> was up 8.49 points, or 0.85 percent, at 1,003.24. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> was up 16.13 points, or 0.82 percent, at 1,983.20.

Words That Shed Light – Past, Present and Future
April 23, 2012 at 7:55 am Leave a comment
Dear Friends,
Below are links to three very thought provoking articles that help us better understand the past and present situations. On another level, they are a call to action to work toward a different future, free of the threats associated with 21st century anti-Semitism.
JTA: DC marks Holocaust remembrance with calls to combat anti-Semitism and prevent genocide
CBN News: Israel Remembers Holocaust amid Rising Anti-Semitism
PRWEB: Christians in Houston Commemorating the Holocaust in Over 40 Cities in the US and Worldwide
All the best,
Harriet and Bill

text: I had a jet sled xl thrown into a widetrack deal I made last year. It didn't have a tow bar and I decided to build an entire frame rather than just a hitch mounting to the plastic. I also cut some uhmw strips, attached them to the bottom, attached some rings for tie down straps, and mounted a plate on the rear for another pintle hitch so we can pull tandem sleds. I will try attaching pics to show the work.

I've been loving reading about your wedding, and this is my favorite post yet! The party part of weddings is my absolute favorite -- nothing like old college friends getting together and pretending like it's 2004 again. Also, I completely respect any bride who requests some Salt n Peppa. Awesome all around!!

We had the same idea for our "guest book." Guests wrote us notes that we read on our one-year anniversary (which was in Dec) and now I'm working on making them into a piece of art to hang on our walls forever!

First off, black and white photos are genius. They really capture the people, the event, and not so much focus on anything else. Y'all's wedding sounds amazing, and like it really was a very special night.
xo, Maria

I love dancing photos! Our dj was a family friend so he was very cheap... And it showed. He was not the best at all! Luckily we had a great crowd and everyone packed the dance floor all night despite the poor music.

1. Is Real Estate a service or a Customer Experience – Who is your competition? Is it another broker? Zillow? Or any company that delivers a customer experience (like Nordstrom, Quick Trip, Jiffy Lube, Disney, SW Airlines).
- Most consumers don't compartmentalize the real estate transaction. They compare experiences as a whole and then rank them. A consumer uses a REALTOR® every 6-9 years (so they forget the experience) but just bought shoes or tires the day before, so they compare to their most recent experience.
- If the consumer is paying Disney money in a real estate transaction, we need to behave and deliver a Disney experience in their transaction; set the tone in your office to not blame the other agent in a tough transaction – especially in front of your customer.
- Communication is key in representing the client: About market conditions, how to best communicate, meeting the agent on the other side of the transaction. Make the transaction easy for the consumer and deliver more than what they expect.
2. Real Estate Teams – Are they The Avengers or Bad News Bears? From Geoff Colvin's book Humans are Underrated. Realtors® are narrowing their expertise and not broadening it. One person can't be the only expert (think buyers, sellers, community, neighborhood experts).
- Brokers should convey expectations for forming teams in your office: Define what a team means; Do I have systems in place? What's fair for the team (compensation)? Supervising the team; Representation guidelines/transaction brokerage; Make the team formal (the team members should sign a pre-nup); Treat it as a new business.
3. Regulatory and Legal issues (KREC and RESPA): Protect yourself and your agents (and your client and your business): Drones, Watch Lists (Who's my neighbor), Marketing and Advertising/co-marketing and other regulations, Technology and the law (same laws for Social Media as for a yard sign or hard copy flyer).
4. How Does Your Firm Handle Leads? 30 minutes was once the standard for response. Today, follow up after 30 minutes reduces the success to almost zero. Today consumer expects an instantaneous response. No matter what day of the week.
5. Pay attention to Upstream Real Estate Portal for properties – with a goal to protect your data instead of sending it out to multiple platforms.
6. There is also a Broker Public Portal in a partnership with HomeSnap (MLS would feed the data directly, you feed the listing as-is and any lead will come back directly to you). Listings displayed on HomeSnap will adhere to the Fair Display Guidelines ensuring all leads are delivered back to listing broker/agent.
- RPR can give you an AVM (automated valuation model) estimate for all properties to display on your website. Consumers like AVMs and might consider giving them this info so they don't have to get it exclusively from Zillow. (Zestimate is unreliable in Kansas markets. Show multiple AVMs to consumers to better show it is just an estimate and there is a range).
7. Staying relevant – Is real estate ripe for disruption like other industries? (Uber, Expedia, Netflix, Amazon, Napster) Blockbuster video passed up the chance to buy Netflix. The Internet has disrupted many industries, but some have survived (Doctor, CPA).
- There is access to RE listings, price, contracts, DIY, all over the Internet. It's overwhelming and confusing. We have to decipher the things that technology cannot.
- If we want to be here in 10 years, we have to provide more – knowledge, professionalism, a calming influence. Technology should enhance and compliment us. Learn from other industries. Keep building relationships. Keep thinking about it.

I remember the evening clearly. We were watching the Thursday night lineup of network sitcoms. Yes we watched network shows and sitcoms back in those days. It was November 9, 1989. The shows were interrupted to announce history as it happened.
A Mistake
Pressures had been building for a time to reduce travel restrictions between East and West Germany. At some point in the day a decision had been made to move forward on those plans the next day after border guards could be informed and other preparations made. Günter Schabowski the spokesperson for the East German politburo had a scheduled press conference. He was handed a note with this information right before the press conference. He either didn't fully read the note or it was not clear, but he announced the border would open immediately.
A Decision
Crowds began to gather at the gates of the Berlin Wall. Harald Jäger, the commander of the Bornholmer Straße border crossing had actually been on break earlier and had seen the press conference so he knew why this was happening. He called his superiors but they had no instructions and would not make any decisions. His border Guards were fearful that if violence broke out they would be quickly overwhelmed. They turned to him for direction, but also wanted no responsibility for a decision. The mass of the crowd also began to be in and of itself a threat to safety. Jager ordered the gates opened. Before the night was over East and West Germans were dancing on top of the wall.
A reality that had been changing moved into fast forward that night propelled forward by a border guard acting on his own, unfortunately because the crossings were demilitarized they no longer needed border guards Jager was unemployed. He wrote about his experience in a book titled The Man Who Opened the Berlin Wall.

STS - Week 5
But - life will go on, the sun will still come up tomorrow, there are non-scale victories so what am I complaining about?
Hope everyone else's scale was kinder than mine. I even weighed twice because I couldn't believe it. Don't some people give their scales a name? I am going to have to think up a good one.
10 comments:
I don't know why the weeks fluctuate like they do. But don't get discouraged. No matter what that evil scale says, just move forward. Slow and steady wins the race!ReplyDelete
Sometimes my scale is 'sweetie' and other times...well, you just don't want to know. LOL
After working at this for several years, I have finally accepted that ups and downs are normal. Frustrating as all get out, but absolutely normal. As long as the general trend over the months is down, it's all good.ReplyDelete
Hang in there!
The scale fluctuates, it will be okay. Keep the eats good and exercise going and it will balance out! :-)ReplyDelete
I find that my Monday WIs are usually the worst - I think for me it's because I'm out of my regular routine on Sundays (church) and sometimes I don't get all my water in, or at least in until later in the evening. Could that be the same for you?ReplyDelete
PS Don't worry about it - it WILL come down if you're staying on program!
Love your attitude.ReplyDelete
Did you see the Diet Fairy on Ms scooter butt's blog? Check it out: seems like that fairy gave her a FREE PASS on weigh ins!! A really good idea. The scale should not be our focus. Anyway, you are doing great! Glad that number is not defining your success. Here is to a great week 6 of STS!ReplyDelete
You are doing great! Everyone has a set back I know I sure have!! Keep up the good work and the results will come!! Nicole @ www.colieskitchen.comReplyDelete
If you were expecting a good loss I'm sure you will see it come next weigh in as long as you don't let the .5 gain derail your efforts. That's what always happened to me in the past. After weighing almost every day I now know that my weight fluctuates wildly from one day to the next sometimes. Just keep trusting the process and the scale will eventually catch up. Keep the faith.ReplyDelete
I think we take too much notice of the scales sometimes (I know I do), but if you know you're eating well, and your pants are feeling big, then you know you're doing something right! Keep it up, you'll no doubt see a loss soon.ReplyDelete
It was only .5 & you're keeping a good attitude about it. Weights can flucuate, there can be bloating you don't even realize or maybe it's muscle even. You'll get it off plus some in the next week!ReplyDelete

My friend Cynthia and I were talking yesterday about instances in one's life that leave an emotional and subconscious impression, so I was trying to think of a few positive ones from my own past. I have to say, that every time I felt myself coming "out from under" a situation in which there were expectations on me for productivity of one kind or another, I would feel unburdened. Hugely.
So, after many years, I achieved a state of relative freedom. I won't go into the details, but will say that I consider myself to have, in comparison with the majority, fairly fortunate circumstances. But it's also true that I don't fall prey to the fantasy world of the promise of unfettered acquisition that bombards our senses on a daily basis. (I don't play the lottery, or anything like it. (IMHO, Casinos are the true "Montezuma's revenge.")
But I digress.
On my last day of high school, I felt happier than I had in years. Whenever I'd quit a job, I felt like celebrating. When I decided to quit university, it was great. When I "left the world" to join a religious group, it was pure relief. When I finally left them to go live on my own and start my own small business, it was a new beginning.
Point is: I think there are those of us who just have an extraordinarily difficult time living under the yoke of someone else's needs and intentions.
The flip side of the situation is that when you're on your own you have to find your own way—decide what's important and apply yourself. Find a reason to get up every day and make your life meaningful—in your own terms. Learn things that are important to you. Make a difference. Make yourself proud of you. It's all on you, and that's not easy either.

Every weekend i feel more and more humbled and privileged to be a part of what is going on at Windsor Crossing. If you haven't visited with us recently you're missing out. Besides the weekend services there are all kinds of things going on around this place, like the Loft shows on friday nights once a month. What's happening here is truly out-of-the-ordinary. But I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less when i started my journey. Here's a video of some of the students from Windsor covering Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing. My jaw was already wide open when the song began, but then 2 min and 45 seconds in i think it may have touched the ground. See for yourself.
