I am delighted to announce the publication of the second in the Vlad the Inhaler trilogy. In Vlad's Quest the young hupyre has to solve a riddle to gain his inheritance:
In the west wing of the tower
Near to all Maligns hold dear
Full moon strikes the midnight hour
Set it right and steps appear
The answer to the ancient riddle is well-hidden in the creepy and dusty Malign portrait gallery, yet Vlad bravely sets off to discover its meaning. Getting it right could save his home, his inheritance, and maybe even reveal his missing parents' whereabouts.
Vlad turns twelve alone in a deserted shack, which is all part of the adventure as he reunites with his werewolf friend Rexus, has an encounter with a greedy bounty hunter, two witches, and his evil vampire relatives all in one week!
Vlad's Quest is available in e-book and paperback.

Med sync, as seen on TV
A few weeks ago I flew to LA to tape a segment of The Doctors on medication synchronization, a simple service where the pharmacy coordinates patients' refill schedule so they can pick up all of their medications at once. It aired last week. Check it out at https://www.thedoctorstv.com/articles/synchronize-your-health.
The show prefaced our segment with the story of Hillary, a woman juggling being a mother, caregiver, and employee, whose own health suffered as a result of being pulled in a thousand directions. So many of our patients struggle with the same issues.
We at APhA often talk about how important it is to tell your patients about the services we provide—immunization, medication management services (MMS), smoking cessation guidance—but it's hard to fit all that into a rushed visit with a patient like Hillary, who probably has a couple of kids with her and needs to get back home to feed them or help them with their homework. Still, if patients don't know med sync is available, they can't take advantage of it.
Med sync is equally embraced by pharmacists, patients, and payers, a group who aren't always on the same page. Evidence shows med sync increases adherence, simplifies the management of chronic diseases, and helps patients stay out of the hospital. And since patients are scheduled around the same time every month, pharmacists can engage with the patient and make sure they are getting the most out of their medications. Med sync is a great way for pharmacies to demonstrate their value to the health care system. That's crucial as we shift to value-based care.
By speaking via mass media with the Hillaries out there, we can help folks find a pharmacy that has a med sync program at www.simplysync.net or at the APhA website. To learn how to get YOUR pharmacy's medication synchronization services listed on the site, go to www.pharmacist.com/abm-pharmacy-map-instructions.
We've covered med sync in a few Pharmacy Today articles. Here are two: "Med sync laws spread to more states," (October 2017); Pharmacies, payers, and patients stand to benefit from new Ohio law (November 2016).
There have also been some JAPhA articles on the subject, most recently The impact of a retail prescription synchronization program on medication adherence (September–October 2017) and The impact of medication synchronization on quality care criteria in an independent community pharmacy (March–April 2017).
The APhA Foundation has resources on starting a med sync program and enhancing it using the appointment-based model. Check that out on the Foundation website.
If you've got med sync experience or questions, let us know on the Engage platform, Facebook, or Twitter at @pharmacists.

Meaning of Geaux Haiti!
Geaux Haiti! is pronounced "Go Haiti". "-Eaux" makes the "oh" sound in the French language, so "geaux" is pronounced like the English word "go". Creole and French, both similar languages, are spoken in Haiti, so it makes sense to use French in our name.
Geaux has three meanings for Geaux Haiti!
+ It shows partnership with The Global Orphan Project. They use GO as their initials.
+ Using "geaux" in our name also shows that we want people to go to Haiti on a trip, interact with the orphans, and experience life in a third world country.
+ The third meaning is that we want to build up the people in Haiti; we are cheering "go Haiti" and we want Haiti to succeed.

According to a recent newsletter released by Internet security provider Norton by Symantec, we need not be afraid of a real-life Terminator scenario. While machines are getting smarter, they are supposedly nowhere near capable of turning on us.
Machine learning is simply a process that eliminates the need for a person to physically program a machine to act according to a user's preferences. The most prominent example of this is when the ads on a site like Facebook promote deals on items that you recently searched on Amazon. This is not the machine developing a mind of its own, but rather an algorithm that has made your computer "smart" enough to show you what you like without anyone having to tell it to do so.
This same algorithm is also used in all that smart home tech that automatically adjusts your thermostat based on your habits. And what we should ultimately be concerned about is the safety of all that data, rather than the possibility of tech thinking for itself. Hackers are the true threat when it comes to machine learning.

The Love Hackney, Shop Local campaign asks residents and visitors to support local shops and markets and think twice about using plastic bags.
Local businesses are signing up to support the scheme. In challenging economic times it's also important to support local businesses and suppliers.
Businesses participating in Love Hackney, Shop Local have signed a pledge to:
- ask customers if they really need a carrier bag (rather than automatically providing one)
- store plastic carrier bags out of sight, behind counters
- offer reusable bags instead of plastic bags
The Co-operative Group's shops have achieved a 66% reduction in the number of plastic carrier bags given out to customers since 2006, through the introduction of measures centred around the above.
Research has shown that each shopper uses 94 bags per year - so in Hackney that totals 19 million bags thrown away every year, and is equivalent to:
- 470 tonnes of carbon emissions
- 2,043 return flights from London to Paris

"We've scrapped cars now lets scrap some windows" say Scottish Building Federation.
The Car scrappage scheme was introduced by the government to both stimulate a failing market but also as an 'eco-friendly' push in getting older and more polluting cars off our roads. Should the same scheme apply to double glazing? Yes, according to one expert.
Michael Levack, chief executive of the Scottish Building Federation, made the comments in an open letter to the Scottish government and added that introducing incentives would have a positive effect on the environment.
He stated: "Home improvement incentives would also have major environmental benefits, greening this country's 25 million homes with insulation, double glazing and other energy-saving measures."
The chief executive added that although car manufacturing brings £10 billion to the UK's economy, the home improvement industry contributes just as much and should receive similar support.
Supporting the UK economy is only one benefit of purchasing UPVC windows, as adding the home improvement can also help property owners to make their house seem more attractive to potential buyers who may be impressed with the eco-friendly investment.
Anglian Home Improvements, formerly known as Anglian Windows, have been successfully selling home improvement products for over 40 years. Visit our homepage for more information on our range of products.

SHAMELESS Renewed
January 14, 2016 by Mike McNamara
Although only a portion of SHAMELESS shoots in Chicago, it's enough that we can definitely celebrate when we hear Showtime has renewed the show for a seventh season.
The good news comes on the heels of the record-setting Season 6 premiere, which earned a 0.6 rating in adults 18-49 and 1.44 million viewers, its best same-day premiere ratings ever.
SHAMELESS is slated for another 12-episode season in 2017; production will begin later this year. "Shameless has clearly resonated with audiences as evidenced by their steady growth on Sunday nights over the past six years," Showtime president of programming Gary Levine said in a statement. "We are extremely pleased with the creative work being done by [executive producers] John Wells, Nancy Pimental and the entire cast, producers and writers — and we so appreciate Shameless' clear and distinctive voice."
With consistent viewership now keeping pace with show's consistent critical acclaim and award nominations over the years, it looks like Chicago's William H. Macy and the gang will be around for years to come. Did you miss the Season 6 premiere on Sunday? Click here to watch it today.

Private Lessons
- What are your rates?
Please contact me for current rates and package deals.
- How long is a lesson?
All lessons are 1 hour long.
- What days and times do you teach?
I teach Monday-Friday, 10am-10pm.
- Where are you located?
I am located in Downtown LA at 1200 S Broadway St, Los Angeles, CA 90015.
- What is the parking situation?
There are many parking options around my building. The average is $5 for the day, but can change depending on the day and time of day. Meters are free and available after 6pm usually.
Once we have estabilished a set time for the lesson, I can help you further with parking if you have questions!
I also offer Skype lessons so that you can learn guitar without even leaving your house!
- Do you travel?
I stay so busy these days that it simply isn't possible for me to travel. However, I do offer Skype lessons that you can take from the comfort of your home!
- Do I need to bring my amp?
I have an amp available for your use in private lessons.
Special Situations
- What levels do you teach?
I have successfully taught very advanced students and students with no musical experience whatsoever. All levels are welcome.
- It is difficult for me to predict my schedule. What is your policy for this?
As long as I can fit you into my schedule, I have no problem scheduling last minute lessons. Alternatively, we can schedule a weekly lesson and if you need to cancel just make sure to give me at least 48 hours notice.
- Do you teach kids?
I typically do not teach anyone under the age of 18. I love teaching kids, but I require that they be very interested in guitar without the pressure of others, parents must be present throughout the entire lesson, and parents must guarantee 30 minutes of practice 6 days a week.
- Will your rates increase while I'm a student?
My policy is that as long as you take regular lessons, I will honor the price advertised at sign up for at least a year. I am very loyal to my students and want to see them improve. I raise my rates as demand and other opportunities increase, but teaching is not just cash flow for me, so I want to make sure people have a fair amount of time to take lessons and improve without having to worrying about adjusting their budgeting.
If a student takes a break from lessons for two or more months without discussing their return with me first, however, I will charge the new rates should they return.
- Can I buy lessons for my friend/coworker/family member/significant other/dog?
I do offer gift certificates. Please contact me for more information.
- Should I start with an acoustic guitar or an electric?
A well set-up guitar of either type will play very similarly and the mechanics are the exact same. You should start with the style of guitar you are most excited to play.
- How many lessons a week do you suggest?
Unless you are an advanced player or plan to play professionally on some level, once a week is sufficient for steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.
- How quick can I expect to progress?
Progress is a direct function of practicing. I will teach you good practice techniques and give you a list of three things (in descending order of importance) each week, so you know exactly how and what to practice. If you can afford to practice an hour a day, you will see very steady progress, but even 15 minutes a day will yield satisfying results over the course of a few months.
- What teaching materials do you use?
I have created hundreds of custom handouts to make sure that I have just the right reference for what each student is learning. I even sell them to teachers and students around the world! You can get a preview here: ProfessionalGuitarLessonHandouts.com
- What kind of music do you play?
I love any technically challenging guitar music! This includes bluegrass, slap guitar, metal, classical music, and many other kinds!

Our third day in Seoul started with rice balls and chocolate drinks for breakfast. Then off we went to Lotte World Theme Park by train. The entrance fee was around 36000 Won and you could spent the whole day exploring the indoor and outdoor attractions in Lotte World. Everland theme park, which is outside Seoul, is bigger and the fee is more expensive.
Among the indoor attractions are : the 'fake' hot air balloons attached to railings on the ceiling, the noon parade, the concert, the roller coaster rides, the carousel, the 3D gallery and the Folk Museum. Lotte World is also the main setting for the famous Kdrama Stairway to Heaven starring Choi Ji Woo and Kwon Sang Woo.
There wasn't much options for food at Lotte World so our only option was the Lotteria where we bought shrimp burger and Milkis carbonated drink. I like them both. :)
After exploring the interior attractions, we went outside to the Magis Island where there are other things to do and see. There is the scary-looking GyroDrop that I didn't dare try. Instead, I strolled around the beautiful park and Disneyland-lookalike castles and took many selfies and wefies.
After a day of 'playing around' and being a kid again, we made our way to Sindang town where the whole street is lined up with tteobokki restaurants and cafes. On the way, we had to find a quiet corner at a train station to perform our prayer. It was certainly a new experience for me! There were some people who took photos and videos of us in prayer.
After that, We went to the Sindangdong Restaurant to try the famous dish. It came in a big pan on a mini stove. Inside, there were instant noodles, tteobokki, eggs, assorted vegetables and fish cakes. Then soup and spices were added, including the compulsory chilli powder! When the food was nearly finished, we called the waiter to cook fried rice with what was left in the pan. The rice was as yummy as the tteobokki!
When we returned to our guest house, we decided to go out again to explore the Shinchon neighbourhood. Since it is near Ewha Women's University, there is a lot of boutiques, fashion outlets, cosmetics shops and stationery shops. We fell in love with one of the shop which sold 1001 cute pencil cases, bags, organizers and diaries. The price was affordable too. On the way back, we bought packs of huge, delicious-looking strawberries to eat later. It cost around 10,000 - 13,000 Won per pack. The taste was just heavenly.... Probably the best strawberries that I had ever eaten!

How can I share files with other people?
Staff can use the Shared Departmental X: drive, if the person(s) you are sending to is within the University.
Alternatively, if you are working on a research project you may want to use Filedrop to share files with external collaborators.
In some cases it is necessary to send an email with an attachment. You may wish to compress your files beforehand, to combine them and make the attachment smaller.

Today has been a hard day….I watch the news and look on facebook and it's just hate, hate, hate. Then there are people saying hateful things about the people hating. It has really grieved my heart to the point of exhaustion and tears. I finally had to shut off the news and put on Christmas movies.
As I was crying and praying though, my dog Jewels comes up to me and puts her head in my lap. As much as I wished it was for comfort, what she was really saying was, "Mom, I want to go outside." Sigh. I got up put leashes on the dogs and opened the door to the most amazing sight: there were about 11+ doves in my yard.
I love doves. To me they signify peace, focus and loyalty. I felt at that moment God was sending me a gift. He reminded me that He has given me peace. Not the peace that the world gives but his peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] AMP
He reminded me to keep my focus on Him not what is said, reasoned, surmised, predicted but on His heart and what His word tells me. Proverbs 4:25 Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage] And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity]. AMP
I read once that Doves mate for life. They are totally loyal and focused on each other. In Song of Soloman 4:1 (reading as an allegory with the King representing the Lord and the maiden me, you, and/or the church as His bride) the kings says "How fair and beautiful you are, my darling,
How very beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are like those of a dove;
and verse 9 "You have ravished my heart and given me courage, my sister, my [promised] bride; You have ravished my heart and given me courage with a single glance of your eyes,…AMP
What ever thoughts I have had or have been inclined to have the Lord was reminding me to: Ps 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.
As I finish writing this blog I will endeavor to Col 3:15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in (my) your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].
I am thankful that God sent me a flock of Doves to remind me just how much He loves me and cares for my heart and calls me to come sit in His lap and trust Him with my prayers and to be encouraged because He has overcome the world! All I need to do is stay peaceful, remain loyal and live focused on Him and the impossibles that are possible to Him!!

It's been a whirlwind 12 months for 18-year-old Cher Lloyd. After being dubbed the 'Marmite act' on last year's X Factor, the Malvern-born singer-cum-rapper topped the charts after squaring up to her haterzz on debut single 'Swagger Jagger'.
Back with new cut 'With Ur Love' and readying the release of her debut album Sticks + Stones, Digital Spy caught up with the self-confessed brat to chat about achieving credibility, first album nerves and what she makes of this year's X Factor lineup.
Are you happier with the public's reaction to 'With Ur Love' compared to 'Swagger Jagger'?
"I haven't had much chance to do my research and see how it's all going, but from what I've heard people are really happy with it. People keep saying they have got it on repeat, which is really good."
There was a lot of hate for 'Swagger Jagger', wasn't there?
"It's very different. The two songs are miles apart. My first single showed my attitude and aggressive style, while this one is more stripped-back with me being me. It basically gives you a good insight into what the album is going to be like, so I think it was a good choice."
Would you say both songs are a good representation of Sticks + Stones?
"Definitely, because they're both so different. That's what the album is all about - being different. I experimented a lot with the tracks and got very stuck in. I wrote and helped with a lot of stuff for this album. I want to get me across. I want to get my different personalities across and to be more approachable. I think I've achieved that, but I'm going to let people decide for themselves."
Are you nervous about what people will make of it?
"Yeah, I'm s**ting it! I'm really scared. Who wouldn't be? This is my first album. It's completely new and no-one has ever heard so much from me. I think I'm going to be really nervous on the day it's released."
How would you describe the album?
"It's like a jukebox. Everything is very different. Me and my team created this album for one purpose and that is for people to be able to listen to the whole thing without skipping a track. I've done it myself with albums in the past - there has only been one song I've enjoyed on an album I've been listening to. With mine, my aim was to make every song as strong as the one before it."
Is there a particular track on the album you're excited for fans to hear?
"I'm excited for a few. 'Grow Up' featuring Busta Rhymes and 'Dub On The Track' are so different and I think they're going to shock a lot of people. It's going to get everyone talking as well; it's dubstep. It's difficult to go into the world of dubstep when you come from a TV show like me. You are branded as a particular thing. With this album I don't think anyone can brand me."
Artists from talent shows are usually criticised for a lack of credibility - is that something you're working to rectify?
"Oh I think we're more than halfway there. Just let this album get out and I think a lot of people's opinions will change."
How did you find the experience making the album?
"At times it was tiring. I'm not going to lie, it was a really tiring process. I always want to get better, so for me it was a situation of beating myself up before I'd get to point where I thought the song was amazing. I'd do so many takes and then say, 'It's not good enough'. Then I'd do it again. I just kept bettering and bettering it. I've spent a lot of time on this album."
So you're a bit of a perfectionist?
"Yeah, I don't do things by half-measure. It's got to be perfect."
When you were making the album did you consider that this could be your only shot at a music career?
"No, I'm quite a positive person. This whole X Factor thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me. I'll make sure it doesn't happen to me."
You started recording the album very quickly after the show. At what point during the competition did you realise you'd make an album regardless of winning or losing?
"I never did. I didn't want to run before I could walk. I was still in the competition and still fighting to get as close as I could to winning. What I'd say to the contestants now is to just try and do their very best. Just try and get as far as you can. If you can win it; brilliant. But do you know what? I came fourth and I did okay."
There seems to be quite a clear meaning behind the album's title...
"D'you know what? A lot of things have been said about me. People are going to talk and that's a good thing; I want people to talk. I don't want people to say, 'So, what do you think about that Cher?' and for them to reply, 'She's okay'. Okay is not good enough. I want them to either love me or to completely despise me - I mean call me all the names under the sun. I love it. It makes me better and for that reason I called the album Sticks + Stones. It's just a little saying my mum used to say."
Where has the track you recorded with will.i.am disappeared to?
"You know as much as I know. But the album isn't missing a spark without it."
If you had to have one of the current X Factor contestants feature on your next single, who would it be?
"Johnny. I love a bit of Johnny, me. I've never seen someone on the TV come across as nice and genuine as Johnny does. I love his attitude and the way he is so quick and on his feet. He knows what he is doing and he just makes everyone smile. He makes me feel really happy and that's why I'd love to do stuff with him. I'd actually like to take him on tour with me."
What would a Cher Lloyd feat. Johnny Robinson track sound like?
"Very camp and over the top. It'd be as if a firework had just gone off. I'm not saying it's ever going to happen, but that's just my little dream world. I get too over-excited!"
What advice would you give to the current contestants like Kitty and Mischa B who are being given a hard time by the press?
"I would say to them that they can't help what people are going to say about them. It's out of their hands and they put themselves in that situation. They turned up to audition. It is my fault and on my behalf that people can have an opinion on me. So I'd say to them, 'Prepare yourself, because if this is the life you want, you've got to take a bit of the s**tness with it too'."
Do you think it was right for Tulisa to bring up Misha B's backstage antics on the show?
"I'm not one to judge. I can't say if it was the right or wrong thing to do. Let the public do what they want with that little bit of information. It's great telly. I enjoyed watching it, but you have to remember that those people have feelings too. We have to keep that in mind. Whether we know if it's true or not, that's another matter. I don't think people should judge Misha on that until they know what the circumstances are like, because it happened to me."
We've had two big music reunions recently - Steps and The Stone Roses - who would you rather go see?
"Steps! I love a bit of 'Tragedy'. I really enjoy them. I just saw them downstairs in the canteen! It's exciting, but whether it will work or not, I don't know. But good luck to them."
What does 2012 have in store for you?
"I plan for it to be massive. To hopefully succeed and get more experience. I want to be very hands-on and learn new things, so then in the future I can be bigger and better."
Any US plans in store?
"I want to try and break it here first before I start running away. Like I keep saying, I can't run before I can walk. We'll see. Only time can tell."
Cher Lloyd's new single 'With Ur Love' is available to download now, while her debut album Sticks + Stones will be released on November 7.

[…] Week, which means everyone has golf on the mind. We've already discussed why putting is so important in your game (and can win or lose you that green jacket), but what are some of the best putting […]
Many billiards players also love the game of golf, including the striking Ewa Laurance. There's a lot of the same principles and mental toughness involved, not to mention a white ball and (usually) green playing surface. One of the simplest ways to improve your golf game is to simply improve your putting skills.
Why does putting matter so much? It's the way to lower your score and separate yourself from the pack, it's also one of the trickiest skills in any sport. So many players, even novice ones, can get on the green or near it fairly easily, but what separates a great player from an average player is the putting.
Looking at the best players on the PGA tour, they all have unbelievable putting statistics. During the 2013-14 season Luke Donald made 90.5 percent of putts from inside of 10 feet, proving that the reason PGA tours pros are so good is because they putt well.
There's nothing more embarrassing than three putting, especially when you had a chance at birdie. Putting matters because it's simply where you can make or break your game.
"You drive for show, but putt for dough."

People in the west are known for their rugged individualism. They are loath to pay for government programs, even if this is to the wider public benefit. And yet, there are instances where even the most isolated ranching family needs the help of others nearby. It is impossible to shear sheep, for example, with just one person, or even a few. Hence, neighboring sheep ranchers assist one another during the shearing season, as well as at other times. Much of our social system already depends on cooperation and complementary action, but when that value is discussed, it raises red flags. This attitude comes from overstrong individualism.
With rising costs, it is more and more difficult to make ends meet with just one job. It is also difficult to eat either healthily, given all the processing of foods, or locally, given that the average food item in a supermarket travels more than a thousand miles to get to your table. For 150 years there has been an economic system and principle of cooperation, in which the company providing the service is neither a privately owned firm nor a publicly traded corporation, whose profits go to shareholders who have no stake in the company or the community of its operation. Instead, the company is a cooperative. Billings has one of its own, a cooperatively owned supermarket. Montana has three food cooperatives, and Wyoming one. This economic arrangement keeps more money in the community and ensures that consumers have a greater say in what goes on in the business. In the case of consumer coops like this, cooperation is effected through money.
There are also worker cooperatives, the most famous system being centered in Mondragon, in the Basque region of Spain (http://www.mcc.es/). Argentina is increasingly dotted with worker-owned and managed firms. The US has vanishingly few cooperative worker enterprises (see, however, the encouraging list at http://www.usworker.coop/front), perhaps because of a fear of communism left over from Cold War ideological battles. And yet such efforts to co-operate, to work together, are the heart of communities. Few people have enough arms and enough bodies to put on a sporting event all by themselves, few people are wealthy enough to sponsor a festival all alone. In fact, cooperation is at the heart of public life: for example, in order to share elevators, we must be cooperative, adjusting our personal-space envelope in order to make room for all who want to ride.
Furthermore, individuals are what they are partly by more or less skillfully and consciously assembling their identity from the culture around them. Individual health is interrelated with community well-being. A community is healthier when its members have a braided life, being involved with one another, celebrating and mourning together, building up their neighborhood around them together.
None of this takes form, however, without a culture's cooperative nature being disclosed and made obvious, or without necessary meso-economic supports being put in place, as demonstrated by the Mondragon cooperative system. Coops in a sea of free-market capitalist corporations have a very hard go of it. It can go a long way toward creating a cooperative system or culture to organize a cooperative bank to finance new coops, and to have a vibrant neighborhood council structure in larger cities. Cooperation, after all, is only a value to the extent that it has an economic and political form.
Ensure that there is funding for co-operatively owned and managed enterprises, and that these enterprises double as centers of cooperation more generally—clearinghouses for neighborhood collaborations, training centers in cooperative undertakings, resource warehouses, and so on. Also take the chance to form future ventures cooperatively. Join consumer coops.
Cooperation is also a value that should be taught at a very young age. Most kids develop this value in elementary school. Here is a teaching guide on cooperation for elementary students.
- LISTEN carefully to others and be sure you understand what they are saying.
- SHARE when you have something that others would like to have.
- TAKE TURNS when there is something that nobody wants to do, or when more than one person wants to do the same thing.
- COMPROMISE when you have a serious conflict.
- DO YOUR PART the very best that you possibly can. This will inspire others to do the same.
- SHOW APPRECIATION to people for what they contribute.
- ENCOURAGE PEOPLE to do their best.
- MAKE PEOPLE FEEL NEEDED. Working together is a lot more fun that way.
- DON'T ISOLATE OR EXCLUDE ANYONE. Everybody has something valuable to offer, and nobody likes being left out."
This is an example of simple guidelines for teaching cooperation. Education in cooperation begins early.
In order to carry out cooperative efforts, elaborate on the virtues of participation (#). Teach cooperation in the education (#) of young people, but also make it a possibility at the crucial junctures of changes in career (#). Share skills (#, #) widely, so that efforts can be woven together more easily. Share resources (#) through free boxes, freecycling, and community salvage yards.

Price is the number one factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view. The exposure your home receives determines the selling price - the more people who see it, the more likely you'll get your selling price. So, as you go to sell your home, you want to get the price right! An overpriced home will languish on the market an under priced home will devalue your asset.
Central Coast Real Estate is in great demand, we have a constant shortage of homes in the area versus available buyers and surveys indicate that many more people plan to retire on the Central Coast between now and 2015.
The best way to know what your home is worth is to have it appraised, second to that is to obtain a Comparative Market Analysis. I do this free of charge.
The Comparative Market Analysis is a comparison of the prices of homes that are actively on the market and recently sold homes, that are similar to yours in location, style, amenities and appeal. A CMA report compares your home to these other homes in the area to determine a price range in which you can successfully sell your home. The specific time frame requirements you have will dictate where in the range you should begin marketing your property.

Those are some kick-ass kicks. I love them. My shoes are getting old. I might need unicorn-pukey ones, too. :)ReplyDelete
My Zumba instructor has those shoes. They look pretty awesome when she's dancing away.ReplyDelete
I think new shoes would be on my list. And also maybe some other form of new clothes because the best part about losing weight is when your clothes don't fit anymore. :)
- AnonymousAugust 21, 2013 at 7:46 PM
I love camera purses!!!ReplyDelete
Ahh! I so need those shoes, STAT! I definitely need presents, too. Lots of them:)ReplyDelete
I need to lose weight too. I bought skimpy Halloween costume in hopes that I will look decent enough to wear it. So far I'm not. As of right now I am trying to fight the urge to devour a bag of chips, snickers, or any other junk food that may be in the house. I think I'm allergic to exercise. I really have thought about lipo.ReplyDelete
I love your mind telling you it is a shape...i laughed out loud and my husband looked at me weird!! "round is a shape" heehee...and yes those nachos are GOOOOD (except El Pollo Loco..if you have one of those up there, had better ones...but they are discontinued and I'm soo pissed!!) now I want nachos!!ReplyDelete
I want to try that but the hubs is insiting on saving for a house hard-core this year so my prizes will be like...nachos!! ;)
Those shoes are ridic and I love them!! I would put new running shoes on mine too, and I have found that new running clothes reallyyyy helps me! Also, I'd have some new statement necklaces and a couple pairs of new jeans one size down :)ReplyDelete
I might start planning on being in Nashville when you are there... I have a friend I could visit... and then I could buy you a birthday drink!!! Hmmmmm.....ReplyDelete
i don't have that exact pair but i have the purples ones and blue/white ones and let me just say that Asics shoes are KICKASS.ReplyDelete
and for serious, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay motivated to workout and live a healthy lifestyle so if presents are your motivator, then for every big goal achieve, go out and get yourself that present!
if you want help/advice/support, let me know ok?

ps Kathy and I may or may not be chillin' in Nashville when you get there. INTERNATIONAL PARTY BOMBERS!Delete
A++ on the mental asics
Haha there was a point when I tried to lose weight by telling my friends I'd give them each $20 if I didn't reach goal weight by the end of the year. It worked for a while. Thankfully they forgot about it... because I did not achieve goal weight.ReplyDelete
Michelle @ Mishfish13
Love Nashville. My 30th is in 13 months. Not a happy camper about it to be honest.ReplyDelete
this method actually works. I only do things for rewards and money too much like a dog. so I wrote a list of presents i get to buy (things I wouldn't normally buy) every time i reach a work out goal.ReplyDelete
Nashville is on my list!ReplyDelete
Pedicures are always my prize. And purses.
Perfect list. I really want new shoes and keep saying I don't work out enough to make it worth it...so that is a perfect reward.ReplyDelete
This is the best idea ever. I will definitely be doing this! I have a hard time with motivation when it takes so long to see results... presents to myself are definitely tangible results!ReplyDelete
I might have to try what SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph mentioned above - I've never had a pedicure!
whiskey for breakfast
I just put up my birthday wish list post then wanted to kick myself for not including awesome sneakers. I have gained so much weight so I downloaded couch to 5K, but haven't started it yet because I want a reward if I have to do it. So, I'm with you. Everything is better with presents.ReplyDelete
I need a super cute camera bag too.ReplyDelete
whenever i motivate myself i have to give myself a reward. otherwise it just isn't going to happen.ReplyDelete
I definitely do this! I used to reward myself with food but that went completely against the point! So now I pick an expensive outfit or item and thats the goal. BTW going to Nashville in October for a Luke Bryan concert and I am SOOOOOO excited since I have never been!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the shout out gurrrrl! I love your rewards so much better then a booring heart rate monitor lol. You can do it, if I can you can :)ReplyDelete
Love those shoes! Nashville looks awesome! We are heading there in October for the 1st time and I can't wait! I need to get cowboy boots :)ReplyDelete
Nashville in 1.5 years....Yep I will see you there!! I mean I can totally crash your party, right?! Yeah I thought you would agree!!!!ReplyDelete
i have those sneakers! i love them. they're so comfy and match everything!ReplyDelete
Love the shoes! And Meg's goal payoffs are genius! I'm like you, I like gifts to motivate me. But with working out, now its all about how I look and feel. I'm motivated by seeing the change in my body and the way I feel after a kickass workout. I'm sick in the head, I love that sore feeling!ReplyDelete
LOVE those shoes! and i work harder for motivation - aka presents - too!ReplyDelete
I didn't even know camera purses were a thing. Where have I been?!?!!ReplyDelete
On my list, I would want...
a great pair of nude heels (to show off my new fabulous legs after working out, OF COURSE)
a new Under Armour women outfit to work out in
Dior Addict 2 fragrance/Tocca Graciella fragrance
an Aeropress coffee maker
...I could really go on and on...so I'll stop there :)
i just really need to not be a fat ass.ReplyDelete
i feel like it's getting out of control. HELP ME. BUY ME STUFF.

Our Final Concert in the Pub for 2015 is Saturday October 24th featuring Vulcan Eejits!!
The Vulcan Eejits are a trio of artists that also perform in other Irish/Celtic Bands. The trio are friends that have played together and separately in various ensembles for many years. The Eejits play regularly at venues and festivals in AL and MS and continue to expand to other states and include Jil Chambless, Kevin Nicholson, and Dan Vogt. Jil provides vocals and flute/whistles and has been a prominent figure on the Alabama Celtic music scene since the late 1980s. She still performs with various Celtic music groups around the country and abroad, including Henri's Notions (which was recently featured on Alabama Public Television), the Ed Miller Trio, and others. She is an incredibly talented player and you can find out more at www.jilchambless.com. Kevin provides fiddle and has been a prominent figure for years starting in the 1990s with the Irish band Red Hill and currently plays with Irish Pub band Jasper Coal (www.jaspercoal.com). Dan provides guitar and vocals and is relatively new to the playing of Celtic music having played rock music for years, but has found his passion with Celtic music.
This year alone, Jil has performed at Festivals and Concerts throughout the US as well as Canada and Scotland! These are incredibly talented musicians that we are honored to finish out the Concerts in the Pub for 2015!
Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at:

I know. You could faint. Could it possibly be TRUE!?!?
Yes, friends. It's true. Nirvana worsted has finally landed after the longest "week" in history. "It will be ready to ship next week." That week was over 60 days long! 😛
(No, this is not the most yarn I have ever gotten. In fact, this is perhaps 1/8 the amount of naked yarn in my house. See the table? The bins? Yep. Full. all full. 😀 ) Sometimes I fantasize that I could casually dye it all up to keep… and swim in… and drape over myself for clothes.
"Look! It's the crazy naked yarn lady!" "Again!?" <rolls eyes>
Inevitably, there is then a child cacophony that breaks the spell of the wool high. I realize that instead, I must see it all to it's proper home, where it will be loved… and not made spectacle of. 😉
And so anyway… Nirvana is finally here, and I haven't been online much. I've been
dyeing COLORING (Zen Daddy prefers I not announce that I need to dye, or I'm going to dye… can't wait to dye, etc… says it's disturbing to hear. 😉 ) like a mad mama. The secret lab notes will go out tomorrow, I'm terribly excited to see what everyone picks! There of course will be a contest for each club. I can't get enough pay it forward.
dyeing coloring news: I did up 4 skeins of sock yarn for me and my buddy, Kristina. We'll have matching socks, and we'll be gay and merry with our precious tootsies! Okay well, we'll at the very least have some colorful ding dang feet!
If I do say so myself, it's gorgeous. I'll have to snap up some photos of the skeins. These were still drying on the line here, thus the weird shifting happening with the wind.
In the knews:
I still have this weird and wretched growth on the side of my finger. It still hurts like a __(something that hurts a lot)___ when I knit with any needle larger than a 3. Good for sock knitting, bad for regular knitting. So.. with that, Morocco in progress:
I've actually finished this sock and am a few inches into the leg of this little guys' buddy. The colors in this yarn are so incredible. I find it almost impossible to get the color to come through the camera. This is my best attempt. They still match Bear's lovely red cast <grumble grumble>, and he still loves them. All is well in sock land.
This blog post has gotten terribly long! But! I will be back with more shots of yarns and purdy fibers soon enough! I also have to take pictures of the COOLEST swap stuff I got from my lovely swap pal in Seattle! AND I got 2 new books in, must review. We must discuss. 😉
Have a wonderful weekend, take a picture of what you're knitting this weekend. Send it to me. 🙂
Be well!

Earlier in the summer when Badger Kitchen was thinking up the coming months' themes, pumpkin just couldn't be overlooked. But come October (ok, ok I was thinking about this since September), I just couldn't decided on a recipe to try. I really wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something, non-baked good recipe. You know, get away from the traditional cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin trio recipe. But I was afraid of not liking it and my fiancé not even trying it. So, baked good it is. However, I've never had pumpkin pound cake before. I was pretty excited when I found this.
This recipe is super easy. Believe me, I made this after a very long wedding weekend while finishing up scientific figures for a grant and doing laundry and keeping the dog occupied. It reminds me of banana bread in the fact that it's really good without much effort. Also, this pound cake has the texture like banana bread in that it's dense but [dare I use the word] moist. Also, that cup of pumpkin goes a long way! I was afraid of it being bland but this pound cake is far from! The only thing I would do differently next time is maybe add a walnut or oatmeal topping to give it more texture diversity.
Bon Appétit,
Slightly adapted from Something Swanky
1 1/2 c. All Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/4 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1 c. Granulated Sugar
1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 c. Vanilla Yogurt
3 Egg Whites
1 c. Canned Pumpkin
Fall sprinkles optional (but why not? After all, it is cake)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bread pan or mini loaf pan.
2. Combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl add together the sugars, yogurt and egg whites. Mix until blended.
4. Fold pumpkin into the wet ingredients. Then add the dry ingredients. Stir just until all is blended together.
5. Pour into pan (should make about 8-9 mini loaves).
6. Bake for 60 minutes if large bread pan or 25 minutes if mini loaf pan.
7. Enjoy!

Donald Standaloft won the February and April medals at Port Bannatyne Golf Club with a fantastic net score of 64 (67-3).
James Webster ran Donald a close second, losing out only to Donald's better inward half.
The McMillan qualifier was played on Sunday - competitors' cards had not been processed at the time of going to press, but the top four will qualify for the knockout stages of the competition, and the draw will be placed on the clubhouse noticeboard.
This Sunday, April 24, is the JMF Tankard, and a sheet with tee times for the competition has been posted on the noticeboard.
Members are asked to note that food will be available on Sunday, but only in the afternoon.

Welcome to Holland! (Tunnel, that is)
(cheesey embedded video of the Holland Tunnel below)
Hello pretty lady!
Now we're getting close.
Destination: Nathan's Famous at Coney Island, home of the 4th of July hot dog eating contest!
Chili cheese and bacon cheese dogs, bladder bursting sized Coors Light, fries, a pretzel, and cupcakes. That's what I'm talking about!
Oh baby. In this heat, this self proclaimed beer snob wouldn't have wanted anything else. A micro brew or something heavier just wouldn't do.
And now, the moment we have all been waiting for. Are they as good as they look?
You better believe it!
I wish I could say that in that despite the intense heat and direct sun and after stuffing myself silly that I rode Coney Island's famous roller coaster the Cyclone as I had planned. Sadly, my stomach demanded that I save it for another day. However, Mark and Alexander rode the Tickler and loved every second of it.
I was treated with a fabulous summer thunderstorm on the drive home and the icing on the (cup)cake? Well, as Mark said, not many people get a rainbow on their birthday.

Need more posts like this. No ridiculousness, no flames and attacks on either side (even if in defense). A well written and concise article.ReplyDelete
Sometimes it honestly feels this blog gets to mudded up by outside forces. I fully support this blog and everyone is allowed to defend themselves...but honestly...it has just gone too far. I rarely read this blog anymore because now the defenders are slowly becoming more like those who originally defamed them.
Calm, precise, reflective articles like this bring me back though. Shinning truth to those who need to it and pushing back the darkness of those who would wish this great order harm. Fantastic article and I hope this style becomes the norm. Thank you David, LeT and the entire AO and subsequent outer order (where I reside). :)Replies
Care Sean,Delete
Thank you. However, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of the current situation. It is quiet now. The sparrows are displaying their marvelous acrobatics and the flowers continue to bloom. Still, I am reminded of the condition in Tibet. The Dalai Lama will not speak a judgemental word against the oppressor 60+ years later. It is their path. The primary individual protest, that I am aware of, is the occasional self-immolation that is viewed as the most loving sacrifice that one could make. It has not come to this, yet.
I too enjoy our blog. If the defense of our order insures that liberty is realized, then hand me a keyboard, or maybe a match. The situation is larger than me, or even this blog, and we have the internet.
Darkness is merely the absence of Light. Shine Bright Brother!

Tibet is currently closed due to those occasional self-immolations and Chinese security carries fire extinguishers!Delete
Interestingly enough these are labelled acts of "terrorism" by the authorities! Ha ha! Propagandists use similar distortions everywhere.
There is even a LAW against any Tibetan teacher getting re-incarnated inside Chinese territory so nobody can build a movement around some returning Rinpoche.
Thankfully the Witch Hunt waged against Alpha Omega isn't tied to State Politics, and we are not refugees just yet!
- Imperator Lux ex Septentrionis, Assuming the God Form of George Washington - to Liberate the Golden Dawn from British SRIA tyranny.June 19, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Hi Sean,ReplyDelete
The Alpha Omega is not "attacking" anyone. Excuse me for suggesting you are anonymous troll, but you are using talking points used by anon SRIA/OR+C trolls quite frequently.
What we are actually doing is thoroughly documenting the magnitude of the Witch Hunt that the SRIA, the OR+C, and their McGD operatives have been waging against the AO for two decades.
Our strategy to show who the real aggressor is that is stubbonly inflicting their sectarian conflict on the GD community is by cross-posting, refuting, and cataloguing every single attack.
99% of this Herculean effort is occuring here in the comments section. We only present the really gross stuff, like Donald Michael Kraig defaming the AO on the Llewellyn blog in separate articles.
Soon, we will be able even to present statistical data on the frequency of use of attalck talking points and refer readers to the correct talking point refutation on a FAQ we are developing, so that the defense of the reputation or our order will not be so time intensive for our Adepts.
But for you to mischaracterize what is happening as "flame war" is way out of line.
Thank you for your kind words about this article though.
Once we have the FAQ and talking point statictics on-line, we won't need to present nearly as much data repeatedly as they repeatedly attack us over and over with the same attack talking points.
Let me clarify I am not trying to lump you in with some of the more...nefarious people out in the blogosphere. Nor do I think you are going out of your way and attacking anyone.ReplyDelete
I understand in the name of defense against those who wrongly defame you and the order, one must stand tall and proud. So, I apologize if it came across as I was trying to lump you in with them.
All I was trying to state was that sometimes...it feels a little too much. Sometimes it feels a little too heated from your side. That isn't saying you are in the wrong, personally, given all the info...you guys are in the right by in large and when you make a statement, YOU MAKE IT AND MAKE IT DIRECT. No snide, underhanded bull crap. You state your case, clear and poinant and then stand by. Unlike some people who make unhanded attacks in their books.
So again, I am not trying to say you are in a "flame war" or started it or are attacking anyone else. It is just sometimes it feels your defense is a little...over the top. Just personal tastes. When it is all said in the done, the facts are presented and stand on their own, and you definitely show the facts. Just wish it came with a little less...flair? (I feel I am not making my point at all. I blame work! lol)
Finally, I am VERY eager to see these stats and FAQ and such. I'm sure it will rock the GD community even further, but in a good way. A way that brings in the light.
Thank you David for all you have done. I feel you have taken a lot of heat and bs and instead of exploding and having a teenage myspace freak out (like some other nefarious characters have), you simply present the facts and let them do the speaking. So thank you again and thank you ensuring the Golden Dawn Community, as a whole and not as a single order, can continue to thrive as it should.
Your Brother In Peace, Love and Spirit,
P.S. I'll PM you my motto so as to show I am not an anonymous troll. Lord knows there are enough of them and I surely do not want to be lumped in with them. I believe in standing by what I say, not being a coward and hiding behind an anonymous tag.Replies

Appreciate you posting your motto, and glad you can see our purpose and passion in defending the rose.Delete
The FAQs Fr AA mentions below are already helping us reduce the time all this takes so we can get on with our Work, researches, and publishing interesting new insights.
As for the heat with which some of our replies come, some things really do need to be put in a sealed container and heat applied for a proper transformation to occur.
We are glad to provide both the Blossom and the Thorn.
Thanks for your thoughtful insights!

Hi Sean,ReplyDelete
Isn't it satisfying when the blogosphere calms down for a few days and we can focus exclusively on revealing our wonderful Alpha Omega to the wider community!
Unfortunately it has been SO relentless over the months since the Conclave unsettled our detractors, that at times this Blog's true purpose has been near submerged in the weight of rebuttal.
It is indeed a fine line we tread in mounting the kind of defence we need against the Witch Hunters of the last 20 years. We have tried to manage this by ONLY answering and refuting what is specifically written against us.
The need to continuously repeat ourselves as the same old talking point arise one after another in a tag team of defamation has been very tiring, and very off-putting to the general reader.
It certainly behoves us to find a way of answering the drone of talking points without becoming tied up in the process, so we are working on compiling a complete FAQ of Talking Points and our Rebuttals, so that in the future we can simply refer the attackers to the relevant part of the FAQ and leave it at that.
Our resources are so much more happily deployed in providing the kind of article that you mention!
Myself, I am in mind to write for the Blog on the Mabinogi which I consider a vital source for the various roots of the Arthurian Romances, as it was compiled around the time that Geoffrey of Monmouth was writing in the French speaking borders of Cymru; I believe it preserves some of the same ancient mythic stories he must also have drawn upon.

There goes another SRIA/OR+C talking point!Delete
Any time that anyone stands up to your constant bullying and manipulation of the Golden Dawn community, you call it "Christian bashing."
Well, let me set the record straight yet AGAIN for you, Mr. McTroll.
The Alpha Omega, unlike you and your SRIA and OR+C masters, is non-sectarian. We are not anti-Pagan, anti-Semitic like you, and nor are we anti-Christian. We admit Christians, Jews, Pagans, Muslims, and yes, even Thelemites on an EQUAL basis.
We know you hate us for this. But this does not make us "Christian bashers." We are certainly not anti-Christian. The GD mysteries are rife with Christian symbolism and we embrace them fully.
But we ARE drawing a line in the sand for the SRIA and OR+C fascist Christian extremist nutters like you who have been stirring strife in the GD community for two decades.
Enough is enough already.
So please take your racist, anti-Pagan, anti-Semitic brand of "Christians only" Rosicrucianism back to your racist little SRIA, SRICF, and OR+C enclaves with you - and once and for all leave the Alpha Omega alone!
We are doing just fine without your factist domination ans constant sectarian strife stirring.

Actually, I am not angry at all. I am merely quite determined on pointing out what is really happenning here. For two decades, anti-Pagan and anti-Semitic "Christians only" SRIA and OR+C fanatics have attempted to usurp control of the entire Golden Dawn community.Delete
Anyone who stands up to them and preserves their sovereignty and autonomy, they lambast as "Christian bashers."
Such insanity has gone on long enough. They will henceforth be held fully accountable for their schemes and misdeeds.
What part of this do you not understand?

Userp from whom?Delete
Your comment "you seem to be angry" is a tactic the most of the detractors use, to emphasize the talking point "I'm holier than you" and "you should take a spiritual approach", to diminish our right to stand up and make things clear, and defend if necessary.
We just don't allow that anymore, and please, if you respond to my comment, don't come out with nonsense arguments.

Angry? Hello MirorMax Troll - you really have issues with anger don't you?Delete
Let me explain again to you that the energy of that emotion has an evolutionary role in enabling us to draw a proper boundary against attackers.
People like you conflate drawing such firm boundaries with "losing it" but you are barking up the wrong tree. Maybe your daddy didn't know how to set proper loving boundaries for you and now you can't abide by firm correctness?
We are not at all angry, but we are certainly drawing a very firm boundary against SRIA oppressors and manipulators, cultists and liars. The GD community deserves better than your silly diversionary spin and misplaced religiosity.
"Fundie is a fundie is a fundie is a fundie." Bash angry Christians? What is a Christian, really? Lately, Christianity appears to be a baby bottle that replaces pain with insanity. I love Christians! For they know not what they do. To me, it appears to be the perfect vehicle for an otherwise obscured message that could not have survived any other way. It is almost like a virus that has the potential of destroying the host, if they're lucky. To see Fundies pray for what they want, as if they know, I am reminded of something darker. It is what it is, neither wrong nor right.Delete

Well said VH Fr. AA! It seems silly at this point that David and many other members literally ask the same 5 questions or so and none of the defamers can honestly answer any of them. It is said you have to repeat with multiple links the same retort that they just can't seem to defeat, so instead beat around the bush.ReplyDelete
I think what you said rings true. I think we are also at a point where the rants and lunacy of the defamers will slowly fade into the background as the light shines through and true SPIRITUAL aspirants of the GD system unite.
Thank you Lux e Tenebris and GH Fr L.e.S. for releasing "What is the Alpha Omega?"ReplyDelete
I love the way the deepest roots are so full of simplicity and wonder - almost beyond our powers of description. This seems to me to DRIVE us to mathematical discovery in the effort to encompass these realizations beyond the capacity of common language.
On the symbolic level the Alpha and the Omega always remind me of the disciplines of navigation by the Stars - where the ANGLE measured requires use of Trigonometry via the properties of TRIANGLES (see the Alpha) and used instruments like the Astrolabe, or the Octant (it is a big letter A!)
Meanwhile Omega is in the shape of NUIT the Egyptian Star Goddess through whose body Spaceship Earth is moving.
In the ancient world knowing when and where the next Eclipse would fall was a very powerful and hieratic skill.

Yegads! The trolls are out in force again today. To begin with Networked Blogs from Facebook is the smallest feed into this blog.

I have posted comments here for awhile, you can go back and check. I bookmarked the page because I don't want a blog myself. So even though I am not subscribed, I still view it and never miss an "episode". So I wouldn't use subscriptions as a valid way to determine viewers. That is why the page views are substantially higher. Nice try though. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Many folks who read blogg such as these use rss crawlers, to keep up to date. Counters can be sketchy, we need to differentiate between hits and visitors, of course, but traffic will definetly be higher then whatever subscription service the owners of a blog use.Delete

Fratres et Sorores
Excellent article as always, G.H.Frater L.e.S.
Religion should not be a factor in dividing the community of Golden Dawn. Religion cannot be used to continue a fratricidal war.
In the Neophyte Ritual says, "Secondly, let me advise you never to ridicule or cast criticism or curses upon the form of religion professed by another, for what right have you to desecrate what is sacred in his eyes?"
The Alpha et Omega (and the Golden Dawn) contains the Wisdom of the Primordial Tradition, which is above all religions. Christianity, Paganism, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.., Finds its source in the same source.
The Alpha et Omega and the Golden Dawn are not a religion. They respect all religions equally. Not discriminate against its members for their religious beliefs.
My experience has taught me that regardless of the religion of any person, Golden Dawn is the external order of the Alpha et Omega, the person can provide the tools necessary to achieve the conversation with your Divine Genius, "to become more than human ..."
Care Frater L.A.M.,Delete
It seems to me that we are being infiltrated by a force masquerading as Christianity. Wolves in sheeps clothing. There is no desecration of that which is sacred. It has been hijacked, for millenia. It has worked before. It is how it works. Is our order exempt? Do you believe that our oaths effect how darkness operates? It does. Most of what is known of Christianity today is reconstructed. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
I am always reminded of something when a troll posts, because what they spew, is nothing new, they know not what they do, and there I go too, a shooby dooby doo. Now it's the Gnostics and on, and on, and on....It's all sacred, neither wrong nor right.

Care Frater LAM,ReplyDelete
The Alpha Omega admits and advances candidates from all religions on an equal basis. SRIA and ORC do not. They are "Christians only." Our struggle is to prevent them from imposing their segregationist brand of Rosicrucianism on the entire Golden Dawn.
You appear to have misunderstood something.
Its nice to see that the Golden Dawn is being exposed. In Fortunes Society of Inner Light, the Graal teachings composed most of the 3rd degree work. Its not that difficult to see that through history there have been individuals and groups that have worked toward the promotion and teaching of Pre Christian Mysteries.
Hope that AO now will show its true 'colors' and expose what can be shown of the Initiatic Mysteries of the Western Mystery Tradition. This is the ONLY way GD, AO and the Pre and Post Christians will understand each other and walk hand in hand toward a new Aeon
So, I have a question for the secret chiefs if they are willing to answer. I've been noticing a lot of hetero- and homo-sexual tension here ,in America specifically, and I'm just confused by the whole thing. There are some guys that are gay that say they feel they are a "woman trapped in a man's body" and you got woman that are lesbians that are saying the same thing. Then you got bi-sexuals that like both. Now, I have nothing against these type of people at all I'm just merely curious. Plus, it'll help answer my own personal questions that is if the secret chiefs will bless me with the answer. So, overall, I just want to know is there something wrong here like genetic deformity or was suppose to happen to broaden one's view on how to express love to one another?ReplyDelete
Thank-you. :)

Do you see that red dot on the pink of my lips?
This morning while we snuggled after a good night's sleep my kid accidentally headbutt-ed
my lip.
Joyfully threw his head back against my groggy and still-waking form.
He cried, I bled.
We are in toddler territory, friends. Orion has become something of a wild beastie with a heart of gold. I referred to our relationship yesterday as one in which I love a wild wolverine who adores me right back.
He cannot help his fierce ways, and I am here to domesticate and mold him into someone who walks through the world doing right, touching nice and saying 'thank you' after that second helping of peas.
It is my job to ensure he knows how to use flatware and hammers, his spirit and his hands.
It is a time of lassos and games and chasing and falling and choosing one's battles carefully.
You can imagine we are often at an impasse. This was very hard to adjust to, coming from the pristine calm of infancy where the only thing that made him cry was an unmet need and I never once remembered seeing the devil-spark in his eye that he gets right before his hands go all slappy
and he puckers his mouth in frustration.
With some amazing solicited advice I have found the right combination of distraction and gentle discipline that allows us to continue having an awesome time together but also ensures that he is learning empathy and gentleness. Learning, not yet mastering.
This experience of toddler parenting is doing something supremely alchemical in many other areas of life. Patience, calm and a sense of everything being very universal are benefits that arose unexpected.
I have mindblowing respect for parents of multiple children.
My husband's generous contributions to parenting thrill and delight both mother and child.
Diligent scheduling for our daily activities have given me (in his napping hours) time in the studio
and time to BE.
I understand now what they say when your friends or when your books chirp "your children teach you as much as you teach them"- it's not in the way that their ego-centric little despotic selves navigate the world necessarily, though I would be hard pressed to say I've ever smiled more than I do now. That's mostly from his wonder and excitement and infectious giggle.
I am seeing that they teach you about layers of self and love and archetype that might go unearthed if not for the sometimes not-so-gentle push and pull of living out this phase together.
When the day is done and time for reflection presents itself there is a sense of pride no matter how good or lacking the waking hours were summed up to be.
A little boy sleeps in his pajamas, warm and safe and dry and fed and LOVED.
After a day of mothering I become acutely present for the other aspect of life that literally feeds me
and smooths the rough patches into silk.
He wakes happy, I wake awashed in gratitude.
The dot of crimson I sport now is just a funny little reminder of the bumps on our path
to loving more and learning 'please' and 'thank you'.
A little fang mark from a wolverine's attempt at a kiss.

Exclusive: "DEMONIACS" coming from "ECHO GAME" director and "FROM BEYOND" producerMovies/TV,News Michael Gingold
The Eurohorror style lives on in a new independent project from an American filmmaker who'll be shooting in Italy and France, with a heavy influence from the filmmakers of those countries.
Brian Feeney, director and co-writer of last year's release THE ECHO GAME, gave Fango exclusive words about DEMONIACS, which is not a remake of the Jean Rollin picture of the same title but is cut from the same cloth. "The plot revolves around an American couple living in France who run afoul of a coven of witches who are prepping for the Feast of the Lemures and the return of the devil," Feeney (pictured above) tells us. "The husband goes missing and the wife, Marnie, must track him down with the help of fellow American and lesbian Nikki Finch—who is herself looking for her missing sister. The fact that the two women don't really speak French, and that most of the police are controlled by the witches, doesn't make things easier. The witches reside in the notorious Chateau de Roissy from the classic erotic novel STORY OF O; characters from the book appear in the film, having made a deal with the devil to live forever."
Previously in the hands of Silver Pictures, which helped Feeney seek investors for the project, the DEMONIACS script found its way to RAI in Rome via Lorenzo D'Agostini, whom the filmmaker met while editing the upcoming PARANORMAL ASYLUM. From there, it caught the attention of Roberto Bessi, Italian producer of numerous Empire Pictures productions including Stuart Gordon's FROM BEYOND. "He was also the executive producer on the original DJANGO sequel DJANGO DEFIES SARTANA," says Feeney, who has also cut DVD behind-the-scenes material for CHILD'S PLAY, BLADE: TRINITY and RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE, among others. "Roberto is a very good producer for this type of film. The plan is to shoot interiors in Rome, then on location at an ancient castle and also for several days in Paris.
"This is a fantasy/horror film aimed at a adult audience," he continues. "The influence of genre auteurs Rollin, Amando De Ossorio, Dario Argento and even Tsui Hark are noticeable in the script; the combination of violence with a level of sexuality is especially reminiscent of Rollin's work. But the intent is not to do a remake, or repeat what has already been done. The goal is to update and reinvent this type of genre film for a new audience. You have a whole generation who grew up on Harry Potter; most of those kids are young adults now, so perhaps this is the time to bring back this type of film. The Italians are on board with doing an NC-17-level horror film, with both extreme violence and explicit sexuality, as they think that will make the film stand out. However, those elements must be beautiful—more old-school Rollin and Paul Verhoeven than anything current. Hopefully, we will secure an uncut limited release in the U.S."
Jin Kelley has also come aboard the project as the U.S. producer and stunt coordinator, while ECHO GAME cinematographer Jeffrey Waldron is in talks to encore on DEMONIACS, as is GRACE/ECHO GAME composer Austin Wintory. "Bai Ling from THE CROW is in discussions to play Vida, a warrior witch who secretly helps the protagonists," Feeney reveals, "and the wonderful French actor Dominique Pinon [CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, ALIEN: RESURRECTION, DELICATESSEN] may play one of the central villains, the evil Detective Lombardi." Also in negotiations, though no deals have been signed yet, are JOHN DIES AT THE END's Chase Williamson and PARASOMNIA's Cherilyn Wilson to fill the roles of central couple Jon and Marnie Thompson.

Commandeur Consultancy builds upon more than 20 years of consultancies and long-term assignments in 'WASH' and 'inclusive business' in rural areas, of which 15 years in Africa and Latin America.
The logotype of Commandeur Consultancy is inspired by patterns of reallocation of land. Fighting rural poverty is about rearranging what is now; about rebalancing capacities and opportunities; about innovation and redistribution of influence. The rearrangement of existing patterns gives birth to new connections.
Consisting of a pattern where the shapes are not yet connected, and a logoform where the shapes form a connection, a visual language was created with endless possibilities while still being recognizable.
Besides stationary we made a fully responsive website. See it online at: www.commandeurconsultancy.com.

What is it about me that makes me think I'm responsible to remind you about basic human responsibilities and observations? Valentine's Day marks the end of my holiday season, which as you know, begins with Thanksgiving. I love you all so much for the tremendous opportunity that your friendship/acquaintances have afforded me. This is my 56th year to take advantage of your grace.
Valentine's Day has become a commercial representation of basic human desire, need, and capacity to share and give love. That is something we all need and can give in its various forms and proprieties. I've been living by the grace of God and love in its many different expressions from all of you. I hope you know how important that is to me and how grateful I am to you because of it. I think it puts me in a unique position to be able to encourage you to share that same kind of feeling to those closest to you and to others you come into contact with. It makes a difference. In some ways, it makes all the difference in the world. So much is happening in our lives and the world around us. I think our most potent assets are the love we have and our virtual, limitless capacity to share it. Please remember and do what you can to use it wisely and affirmatively for the good of you, your family and our collective community.
I recently watched a movie called Best Man Holiday. What I took from it was the importance of family, how friends become family, and how faith leads to a positive end for those of us sharing it. The holiday season comes to a close and it's been a strange winter of snow and cold on the east coast and in the south, and drought in most of the west coast. I believe God is nature and nature is in control, but remember that faith and love make it all work together for our collective benefit.
I love you all and appreciate your taking the time to read my thoughts, consider my life experience, and respond whichever way you can. Stay in touch and stay loved.

A child with special needs … needs you.
Adopt America Network is dedicated to helping place children with special circumstances, whether they are physical, emotional or something else (for instance, older children and/or siblings). Our placements are even more vital when you consider these small souls are the innocent victims of painful loss, neglect and abuse.
We believe that every child deserves a safe, loving, permanent family and home of his or her own, and that this foundation is essential to the well being and mental health of any human being. There is simply no substitute for the unconditional support, experiences, lessons and love that a family can provide.
At AAN, we know that for every special child, there is an equally special family and home out there. Unfortunately, there also is an average wait of almost four years in foster care. Our goal is to reduce the time it takes to find the special families willing to adopt and care for these special children.
