- This life should be utilized. Now we are conscious, Krsna conscious. It should be so utilized that no more coming back to United States of America and no more coming back of this condemned earthly planet. That should be the aim
- This metaphorical analogy is constructed in such a way that things which seem to be eulogized are condemned, and things which are to be condemned are eulogized
- This prayasa, endeavor for economic development, na kartavyam, don't do it. Here is a revolution against this modern civilization. They are simply after economic development, and here it is condemned
- This woman (Diti), my wife, has adopted a means that follows her nature, and therefore she is not to be blamed. But I (Kasyapa Muni) am a man. Therefore, all condemnation upon me!
- This woman, my wife, has adopted a means that follows her nature, and therefore she is not to be blamed. But I am a man. Therefore, all condemnation upon me! I am not at all conversant with what is good for me, since I could not control my senses
- Those who are condemned, those who want to try to lord it over, they are imprisoned within the walls of material universe. So their number is very small
- Those who shed tears by practice but whose hearts have not changed are to be known as stone-hearted devotees of the lowest grade. Their imitation crying, induced by artificial practice, is always condemned
- Thus condemned by the brahmana, Arjuna empowered himself with a mystic yoga perfection so that he could travel to any planet to find the brahmana's baby
- To revolve in the cycle of transmigration in a series of lives numbering 8,400,000 is an imprisoned life for the condemned conditioned souls
- Two hours later, in a quiet place, Pradyumna regained consciousness, and when he saw that he was in a place other than the battlefield, he addressed the charioteer and condemned him
- Unfortunately, by the instigation of the fallen age of Kali, an unfortunate brahmana's son was employed to condemn the innocent Maharaja Pariksit, and so the King had to prepare himself for death within seven days
- Unfortunately, without Krsna consciousness, these material assets sometimes become sources of sin and degradation. Despite Vidyadhara's being a demigod and having a beautiful body, he was condemned to the body of a snake due to pride
- Upon hearing Caitanya Mahaprabhu's explanation of the atmarama verse, Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya was struck with wonder. He then understood Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to be Krsna in person, and he thus condemned himself in the following words
- Vedic system does not condemn anyone
- Vidyadhara himself stated that even though he was a demigod he was condemned to become a serpent. But because he was touched by the lotus feet of Krsna, he immediately came to Krsna consciousness
- Vidyadhara was a materially elevated demigod, and he was very beautiful. He also held a great material position and was able to travel all over by airplane. Yet he was condemned to become a serpent in his next life
- We are in high brahmana families, we have ceremoniously received the sacred thread, and we are also properly initiated by a spiritual master. But, alas, in spite of all these advantages, we are condemned. Even our observance of brahmacarya is condemned
- We are only a fractional portion of all the living entities in the many universes of the material world. Those who are in the material world and material body are condemned. For example, the population in prison is condemned by government
- We do not condemn modern civilization but we don't like to get it at the cost of God Consciousness; that is suicide
- We don't condemn. We don't say that don't manufacture this microphone. Yes. Microphone-use. But use it for declaring glories of the Lord. Then it is fully utilized. That is our process, Krsna consciousness
- We don't mind whether you are communist, capitalist, this ist, that ist. We want to see whether you are utilizing your human intelligence for right purpose. We don't condemn anyone
- We have got so many examples and experiences life that what is eulogized by some of our friends, it is condemned by others. So whole thing, our perfection of any act, that should be certified by the Supreme Lord
- We have to be determined to go back to Godhead, to Krsna, where going nobody will come to this condemned place. One should know that this is a condemned place. Unless one is fully convinced that this is a place, condemned, one cannot make progress
- We take it sunlight is very important. Actually very important because through sunlight the whole universe is maintained. It is sunlight. As soon as there is shortage of sunlight, the place becomes immediately condemned
- What was the purpose for which the SPG accepted the abominable form of a fish, exactly as an ordinary living being accepts different forms under the laws of karma? The form of a fish is certainly condemned and full of terrible pain
- When all the hereditary brahmanas were thus cursed by Nandisvara, the sage Bhrgu, as a reaction, condemned the followers of Lord Siva with this very strong brahminical curse
- When British rule came, their Lord Macaulay's private report was that "If you want to keep them as Indian Hindu, you will never be able to rule over." So it was British government's policy to condemn everything Indian
- When one is ashamed of an abominable action, one naturally becomes down-faced. Diti came to her senses after the abominable sexual intercourse with her husband. Such sexual intercourse is condemned as prostitution
- When speculation on the impersonal Brahman is condemned on the above ground, then what to speak of ordinary fruitive work, which is not meant to fulfill the aim of devotional service
- When unhappiness, fearfulness and the sense of having offended combine, one feels condemned. This sense of condemnation is described as dinata, humility
- Whenever and wherever there are peaceful, equipoised devotees who are well behaved and decorated with all good qualities, that place and the dynasties there, even if condemned, are purified
- Where is He who is the real medicine to save Me from dying of heart disease? I must condemn Providence, for he has caused Me so many tribulations by separating Me from Krsna
- While traveling, I (Vidyadhara, the serpent) saw a great sage named Angira. He was very ugly, and because I was very proud of my beauty, I laughed at him. Due to this sinful act, I was condemned by the great sage to assume the form of a serpent
- Worshiping the multidemigods for material gain is practically a perversity of religion. This sort of religious activity has been condemned in the very beginning of the Bhagavatam as kaitava-dharma
- Yasoda thought, "Therefore let a curse be on this milk! And I also am condemned because although I am so opulent in material prosperity"
- You cannot make one classless. That is not possible. So long the bodily concept of life is there, there must be these three classes. High class, middle class and lower class. So those who are condemned, they must suffer. Everyone is condemned
- You do not think that only woman is woman. The man is also woman. Don't think that the woman is condemned; man is not. Woman means enjoyed, and man means enjoyer. So this feeling, this feeling is condemned
- You have been a little bit perturbed that the demons are eternally condemned, and I thank you very much that you have been compassionate with the demons. That is the sign of Vaisnavism
- You have made me Your carrier Garuda, although I am no better than a condemned crow. Thus You are the independent Personality of Godhead, the original Lord
- You have to actually forget this material world, that "This is a condemned place," and you cannot forget this unless you have got ideal place before you
- You'll find Vyasadeva has written so many books, each book so valuable, instructive, but still he was condemned

Waxing your car not only keeps it looking great, it helps preserve the integrity of your paint job.
Automotive experts recommend waxing your vehicle every three months. You could pay to have it waxed at the car wash, but you can also do the job yourself, at a fraction of the cost.
There are several ways to wax a car, but all of them require a thorough cleaning beforehand to remove dust and dirt. Do NOT use household cleaners like hand soap,dishwashing detergent, or glass cleaner, advises Consumer Reports. They can damage your car's finish. Instead, use a dedicated car-wash product, which is milder and specifically designed for use on automotive paint.
It's a good idea to check your owner's manual to see if there are any special instructions for waxing your particular vehicle.
The three ways to wax your car are based on the three different kinds of waxes: liquid, soft and hard wax.
Liquid wax is simple to apply and can be used every time you clean your car. Use a clean cloth or wax applicator, which makes the job easier.
Soft wax is more solid than liquid but still not as hard as hard wax. It's easy to apply. As it dries a haze will appear. Wipe it off with a soft cloth after it dries thoroughly.
Hard wax should be used a couple of times a year. It lasts longer than other waxes and should be applied in small areas.
If you use an orbital buffer to apply wax, Popular Mechanics recommends using a clean buffer pad, spreading evenly, applying intermittent, not continuous, pressure. Cover a fourth of the panel at a time before removing the wax, following directions for drying time. Use a microfiber cloth to remove the wax, using circular motions to achieve a high gloss, adds Popular Mechanics. Repeat until your car is shining.

Discussion Starter • #1 •
I just installed the SpeedyMoto belt "covers" on my Sport 1K. Of course they look awesome, but I wonder if I need to do any special maintenance, lubrication, etc or be cautious of anything when washing the belt area. I realize the belts themselves are OK and I wouldn't use a hi-pressure washer, but do I need to lube the belt tensioning assemblies/bearings, etc. I ask since most of this stuff was originally covered.

Gone but not forgotten: Remembering Vern
I know that when he passed on, we had not seen each other for several years but this does not mean that I did not think of him from time to time.
Vern was one of those very unique individuals who never seemed uncomfortable around me and he never seemed to be inhibited by my being vision-impaired. He treated me as an equal, was never afraid to discuss politics and hot topics with me and I am truly grateful that I had the chance to know him.
Vern loved to take me to eat Roti and he and Yvonne often took me to eat out and go shopping. He had a wicked sense of humor and was always looking for things to do with me.
Rest in Peace, Vern; travel safely now and save a place at your table for me! Until we meet again!

Sarah B. Whalen insists that she's a prude. "I meet people and they think I'm some nymphomaniac," she says. "I think it's funny. I'm usually in bed by 10 and I sleep with a retainer in."
But it's not really hard to see why people might think that Whalen is more nympho than goody-good. Her sexual-themed ink drawings are graphic. Like, slippery blowjobs and sexual choking graphic. The overtly explicit subject matter sets the tone for each of her pieces, even though there is plenty of thought behind each. What they lack in shyness they are make up for in style -- they're economic; each line simple and deliberate.
Prude or not prude, she's a entertaining to be around. In person she is as open and uninhibited as her work. When she brings up shunga, a style of Japanese erotic art, and one of her personal favorites, she gets so excited that she almost starts shouting. "One of the most famous ones is a woman with her head back and there's a giant octopus that's eating her out. It's like, latched onto her vagina. It's so awesome!"
Her focus on nudes, givers-of-head, and double penetration, happened during her final years at Seattle's Cornish College of the Arts. Originally a photography major, Whalen shifted her attention to more sultry work after discovering various sources of inspiration such as shunga and mainstream porn. "When I was first making the work I was really interested in portraying human beings almost like monsters. I feel when you're having sex this part of you takes over. You come out of your body and you become this other thing, you become this weird little sex creature."
Out of all of Whalen's "weird little sex creatures," some of the most interesting are the women. Often they are shown having fingers being pushed into their mouths, on their knees in front of men, or performing fellatio. "In my work I feel like I focus more on the woman than I do on the man because that's my experience. A lot of times people will ask me, 'Are you objectifying women?'" But she doesn't see it that way. "It's my experience that I'm thinking about. I'm really selfish in that way that while I'm portraying these women I'm thinking about myself in these positions. I'm like, 'oh yeah, I like doing this,' or 'these are the things that I'm into sexually.'"
"I did this one piece with purple flowers, and I really hate the flowers, they fucking driving me crazy, but I love the blowjob part. It shows [the subjects] face and then there's this huge dick that's coming in from over here," she says as she mimes a penis deep-throating her from a strange angle. A nearby group of teenagers overhear us talking and start to stare. "There's a bunch of cum coming out of her mouth." (More miming) "I love it. I love giving head. I love being able to give someone that pleasure, I love the act of it, I feel sexy when I do it."
So, the eavesdropping teens are sold, but not everyone is.
"There are people that are so into it, and there are people that are like, 'Why would you do that?' Well, why would you go outside and paint a landscape? Because this is something that I find interesting. I think it opens up a dialogue with people that I'm interested in having. But really, why do people do anything? It's because they're interested in it."
"It's sex. It's fun, and I enjoy it. People enjoy it, and if you aren't enjoying it you're doing something wrong."
Sarah B. Whalen's lives and works in San Francisco. Her pieces can be viewed and purchased directly through her website, sarahbwhalen.com. You can follow her on Twitter and Instagram @sbwhalen.

This 1963 Jaguar XKE is a mildly modified Series 1 coupe powered by a 3.8L inline-six and Moss 4-speed manual gearbox. The original owner took delivery from the factory and drove it around Europe for 5k miles before importing it to the US for a brief stint as a race car. The seller's parents purchased the car in 1965 and it remains with the family today, having been used as a daily driver, road racer, rally car, autocrosser, and occasional off-road vehicle. The seller has been a professional mechanic for over 40 years and began a light cosmetic and engine overhaul in 2005, followed by use in the 2011 Southwest Oil Leak Tour. Reportedly well-known in Jaguar circles, the car is described as a solid, well-maintained driver that has been worked on only by the seller and his father. Its sale includes original spares, European border badges, and a clear Colorado title.
The body shell, bonnet, hatch, and doors are original according to the seller. Metalwork performed during the refurbishment included a new passenger-side rocker panel and sill, while other panels were free of major corrosion. All joints and repaired surfaces were leaded, and while doors were smoothed over, little other filler was used in the project. A rear-end damage repair dating to 1967 was also revisited, though rumpled sheet metal remains visible under the license plate. After metal repairs, the body was primed and coated in two-stage Ford Thistle metallic using PPG products.
The resulting finish looks presentable overall, showing a nice gloss over smooth panels. Regular use has resulted in a handful of blemishes including stone chips and road marks on the nose, along with occasional dings and edge chipping. A lead repair on the passenger-side rear wheel arch has also cracked slightly as detailed in the gallery. The rocker panels and lower rear quarters wear 3M clear protective film. Dayton 15″ wires with stainless center-laced spokes wear new Rudge-Whitworth knockoffs and at 6″ wide can use a variety of modern tires, though they currently wear Yokohama radials.
Front and rear bumpers have been replaced along with the "hockey stick" A-pillar trims, and all present well, as does the original side window and drip rail brightwork. Glass is said to be original aside from a new windshield, which uses an aftermarket seal that is incompatible with included original chrome finishers. All other exterior rubber was replaced with new material as of 2009, and the windshield wiper system is refreshed and functional aside from its auto-park feature. Lighting looks clean throughout including clear headlight covers, bi-color front signals, and small aftermarket fog lamps.
The passenger-side recessed floor was replaced and covered in a combination of Quiet Solution, silicone-backed padding, and Q-Mat to block sound and heat. Updated materials have replaced the originals over time, including a muted yellow ultrasuede covering correct early barrel-backed seats. The upholstery has collected marks and dirt but looks intact, and the seller is able to acquire additional material if desired by the new owner. Black vinyl on the dash pad is joined by beige on the door panels and binnacles, which show some body-colored overspray.
A thick-rimmed Moto-Lita wheel has taken the place of the also-included original, and a Kamei golf ball shift knob was fitted in the 1980s. Early dot-style aluminum dash and console panels appear worn but serviceable, and are combined with a later vinyl-covered armrest. All dash-mounted toggle switches are said to be stock and original as is the wiring harness, which has remained largely reliable according to the seller.
A period Stewart-Warner mechanical oil pressure gauge is plumbed with AN-grade line while all other instruments are original including the clock, which has been rebuilt and works well. The tachometer has been modified with electronic internals but still receives its signal from the original AC tach generator. LED strips were installed in the larger gauges for increased readability at night. The speedometer has been inoperative for years due to a broken angle drive, resulting in an inaccurate odometer reading. Used regularly until 1983, the car reportedly covered almost 180k miles in its first 20 years and is thought to have approximately 200k total miles.
A four-point padded roll hoop is left over from racing days and serves as a mounting point for a camera and fire extinguisher. Occupants are strapped in by 3″ G-Force racing belts. The rear compartment is covered in vinyl-wrapped plywood and while its original behind-seat storage top is included, the front piece is missing along with the floor rails.
The 3.8L twin cam inline-six reportedly bears matching numbers on its cylinder head and block, and was given a light in-car overhaul 10k miles ago at approximately 190k. Grant rings were installed between the bores and pistons, which still measured within spec. New rod bearings were installed with mil-spec bolts and nuts, and fresh lower timing chain components were fitted. The cylinder head was rebuilt with tappet bucket sleeve hold-downs by Coventry West in Georgia and capped with later ribbed cam covers, though the original smooth covers are also included.
Ignition is from a custom Ford-based EDIS system paired with a programmable MegaJolt control module and powered by a Delco alternator on a custom CNC mount. Induction is via rebuilt original SU HD-8 carburetors which are working well, while exhaust is muffled solely by a pair of SuperTrapps that emit a distinctive growl. The fuel tank was boiled out and houses an XJ6 in-tank pump supported by an external electric backup and three inline filters.
A large five-pass NASCAR radiator was custom made during the car's racing days and is augmented with a CoolCat fan with a manual underdash switch. The car reportedly does not overheat in heavy traffic or triple-digit temperatures, and a winterfront is included to achieve operating temperature on cold days. A broken glass washer bottle was replaced with a modern repop with an auxiliary pump supplying improved squirters from a Geo Metro. The engine bay retains the original hue of Opalescent Dark Maroon.
Braking is from lightweight Wilwood front calipers over cross-drilled front rotors. The brake master cylinder was rebuilt in 2010, while the Kelsey-Hayes power booster is original along with its associated vacuum components. Suspension rubber is fresh up front aside from the sway bar bushings, and while rear bushings are original the car is reported to drive well in its current state.
The original Moss 4-speed gearbox with non-synchromesh first gear is described as functional but temperamental, taking some effort to shift thanks in part to a sintered-bronze racing clutch and heavy-duty pressure plate installed in 1963. The clutch master and slave cylinders were refreshed in 2010. Power is sent to the the original rear 3.07:1 differential, which is said be somewhat leaky along with the engine's original rear main rope seal. The underside shows overspray and grime from decades of use, but no major rot is evident in photos.
All original parts are included in the sale aside from the stock radiator. The seller offers a comprehensive verbal description of any aspect of the car and is happy to help facilitate a PPI by an independent shop if desired. He says he would drive the car anywhere and further offers the possibility of personal delivery to the lower 48 states.

Website creation isn't a backbreaking labor anymore. If you use the right tools, designing and publishing a professional-looking website will be a piece of cake, even for the novice. I encourage you to read several in-depth website builders reviews and comparisons to find the easiest and most appropriate web building software for your unique case.

More info about our plant sizes.
Please email us to confirm at-nursery availability of plants that are too big to ship.
This smaller hybrid was created by Ken Taylor of Aromas, California and is thought to be a cross of Fremontodendron califronica ssp. decumbens and Fremontodendron 'California Glory'. 'Ken Taylor' grows between 4'– 6' tall and 8'– 10' wide, can be pruned to maintain smaller size, and is perhaps a bit hardier than the species. Evergreen fuzzy leaves with rounded lobes and large golden yellow flowers bloom for months on end! (Not for the petting zoo — the fine hairs can be an irritant.)
Evergreen shrub; mature size: 4-6 ft T x 8-10 ft WMinimum temperature: 0° F

To Maman, With Love
I'm not good with ages, including my own. Hence, whenever bouncers or waitstaff unexpectedly bypass the usual ID-check and ask, "How old are you?" the first thing that comes to mind is, Uh… am I even twenty-one yet…? Fortunately, this number amnesia doesn't extend to important dates, allowing me to be certain without a shred of doubt that today is my mom's birthday.
Maman, as she's affectionately known, is immensely important to me because (as apparent to anyone who's ever mistaken our voices on the landline phone of our past) she makes up an invaluable portion of both mine and my sister's identities. And considering all the incredible elements that comprise the Renaissance dynamo that is my mother, my sister and I should feel very lucky to share in that genetic pool. My mom has an imagination that packs a wallop. Her sense of wonder is tangible in the way she approaches every facet of life. Her unyielding desire to learn from each of the experiences she encounters is inspiring. And demonstrating the very essence of the adjective "motherly," my mom has the unfailing ability to comfort even the most overwrought hysterics.
Furthermore, my mom is a woman from whom natural talent radiates like the awed circles that form around her whenever she takes the dance floor. Among the many skills she demonstrates an aptitude for, she's the most fastidious and loudest cheerleader in all of North America; an incredible artist and writer whose oeuvre spans the creative gamut from joyously whimsical to powerfully evocative; an aficionado on all things kooky-fresh, such as The B-52's, Shonen Knife, and Plastique Bertrand; a learned and opinionated voice vying for social, cultural, and political equality; the contender you absolutely want on your team for trivia night; and an altruistic giver through and through.
When I was a child, one of the greatest gifts my mom gave me–despite the hordes of Barbie dolls I pleaded for and miraculously received–was her time. When I came of kindergarten age, my mom decided to take up the helm as a homeschool teacher for a year that may well have been the most formative period of my lifelong personality. Thanks to my mom's patient and steadfast teachings, I developed a deep adoration for vocabulary, a genuine affinity for reading, and a penchant for writing that catapulted me beyond the school's benchmark. I can't begin to thank my mom enough for the educational time she dedicated to her children, and I feel certain that without the lessons she's continued to impart to this day, I would not have ended up as academically driven as I am. Quite frankly, I attribute my brains to my mom and thank her every day for placing so much emphasis on their fortification.
While incredibly important to my character, this inherited love for learning barely begins to skim the surface of all the things my mom's doted on her daughters from day one. As children, my sister and I grew up in a home replete with fantastical paintings adorning the walls and floorboards: a cheerful, multicolored snake spiraling on the living room floor, an alebrije-esque lizard spanning the length of the kitchen, a winking fish suspended above the stove inquiring, "Hey good lookin' whatchya got cookin'?," and our little bunk bed fortress decorated with Shoobie the flying pup, our beaming faces, and an array of designs and calligraphy unique to my mom's playful aesthetic.
For birthdays, she gave us not only presents but whole window murals commemorating the occasion and themed homemade cakes that somehow defied gravity with their twisting Seussical stairways. From the time I was nine-years-old my mom devoted hours upon hours to reading us Harry Potter aloud, complete with individual character dramatizations and the correct pronunciation of "Hermione" years before the films enlightened my peers. Her all-encompassing love for animals turned my sister into an atheistic St. Francis incarnate, preaching to kittens and puppies The Word According to a Six-Year-Old. When relationships went south or the transition into college proved dispiriting, my mom gave me ways to combat sorrow and the means to harness positivity in the face of life's many obstacles. And her multilingualism and sense of adventure resulted in my love for language, graphic design, and cultural history and mythology.
For physical sustenance, my mom gave us the many delectable gifts of moussaka, chipotle chicken, banana bread, and the phenomenal macaroni and cheese recipe she inherited from her father. For mental fodder, she gave us a love for games, even if it occasionally resulted in my sister overturning a card table in a bout of loser's rage. For 85mph exhilaration, she passed down her love of roller coasters and repeatedly travelled with us across the country to seek new thrills–although the spinning tea cup gene clearly skipped me. And as a strong female figure who embraces her identity and doesn't shy away from displaying that fabulous demeanor to the world, my mom gave her daughters the ability to be ourselves regardless of any judgment that may come our way.
To top all of that off, my mom has taught me how I want to approach motherhood one day. Thanks to Maman's example, I want to inspire uninhibited imagination, I want to answer every question with honesty and imbue a love for learning, I want to be a comfort whenever my children are in need. And beyond that, I'm very eager to behold the whoops of excitement my future children emit when I tell them we're going to their grandma Lulu's house, a place of wonder, creativity, and warm, unwavering love.
Reverie Interrupted
Besides learning how to complete tax forms and fill out checks, one of the saddest, inevitable aspects of aging is the gradual diminution of daydreaming. That isn't to say that there aren't adults out there who still pass the hours with their head in the clouds, seemingly idling away while their imaginations rev with steam power, but I beg to proffer a generalization when I say that most adults in our Capitalist system don't have the time or mental energy to dream like they used to.
This unfortunate phenomenon occurred to me last night after seeing Pacific Rim in IMAX 3-D at Universal's neon-lit CityWalk. Despite the obvious holes that even Guillermo Del Toro admits to, this film was an increasingly rare personal experience in which I was actually able to relax and enjoy a summer blockbuster and all the giant, sword-wielding robots it had to offer. But while beating back motion sickness for the thrill of prismatic kaiju-jaeger carnage, the thought occurred to me that if I were a twelve-year-old kid watching this movie, my mind would be racing to fabricate a myriad of subplots and potential characters, and as soon as the movie ended I would hurry home to manifest my alternate narratives via writing, illustration, or a long bout of daydreaming. As it was, the movie ended and I hustled home to collapse exhaustedly into bed.
It's a real shame that daydreaming seems to be a pastime literally and ideologically reserved for children. Even for those adults fortunate enough to still possess the active reveries of juvenescence, our culture seems to perpetuate a social stigma about daydreaming after a certain age. The phrase, "get your head out of the clouds," comes to mind when pondering the fact that idle behavior in adults is generally chastised by the United States' emphasis on productivity. Since youth, aging in America runs parallel to an exponential loss of time: our homework starts to amass in middle school to ensure that we'll be ready for high school; or social lives have to be marginalized in order to complete all the high school work that prepares us for college; college buries us so deep in post-college preparation that sleep becomes an irregular recreation; the five unpaid internships a city like Los Angeles demands from us and the secondary jobs we fill just to make rent consume every waking hour of the day in preparation for a career; and unless we're lucky enough to secure a relaxing schedule and ample time off, our careers become synonymous with "life." Of course it all peters out eventually, and one can only hope that the reinstated free time of retirement might kindle some sense of contemplative woolgathering… as long as the exhaustion of the years prior doesn't preoccupy the mind.
I think hispanic countries got it right when they established midday siestas as a cultural repose. Providing people with an opportunity to regain their energy and cerebrate at their leisure is a genius social strategy that not only aids in employee stamina but also in creative output. Daydreaming, while criticized as mere inattentiveness, self-absorption, and absentmindedness, is a progenitor of art and innovation. Back when I had the time and the energy to simply explore the contents of my imagination for as long as I saw fit, my artistic output was tenfold its current yield. Today, if I'm lucky enough to have a writing implement and jot down a creative thought when it galavants my way, I have to seek time to flesh it out, and by then I might already be preoccupied with the next fleeting fancy.
But I shouldn't be so quick to bellyache about the future to come, for having attended art school, I'm geared up for a career in creative ideation. Despite these occupational prospects, the expectations of most middle and lower class vocations that I grew up amongst are worrisome on the creativity front. Unless you have a job at Pixar or in an advertising agency, work schedules are not conducive to imaginative thought. And even with a creative occupation, daydreaming just isn't the same when you work to produce creative ideas versus spontaneously slipping into hours of free associative contemplation.
I suppose if there's any consolation to be garnered from this predicament, it's that even though the American system demands that we work hard to afford the necessities of life and work even harder to live leisurely, creativity continues to flourish. Eccentric couture designs continue to catwalk their way into fashion shows, anonymous muralists continue to adorn city streets with whimsical illustrations, teachers continue to create innovative curriculum to engage their students, architects and urban planners continue to brainstorm new strategies for cost effective living, and artists like those assigned to Pacific Rim continue to dream up bigger, more fantastical monsters. With creativity manifesting all around us every day, it's clear that innovation is not solely the product of excessive daydreaming, and with the help of these imaginative adults, creativity will continue to augment social progress. Yet despite this propitious silver lining, I can't help but wonder what this country would be like if everyone still had the time to dream with the same fervor that propels a child to build castles in the sky.

Inner Symphony veterans Clawz SG & Mashk come together for this collaborative track, "Chrysalis" and its two remixed iterations by Bessiff and Modul Art. Rich in texture and complexity, each track tells its own version of an emotive narrative through robust synthesizers and melodies.
"Chrysalis" carries a driving rhythm that builds to a crescendo of cinematic synths that elicit feelings of longing in the listener. It seemingly tells a story, like the butterfly or moth emerging from its transformative state. Bessiff gives an ominous take on this plot, with darker pulses of synths weaving between the melodies. Modul Art creates a more cerebral, yet dance-inducing atmosphere with rhythmic variation throughout.
A captivating release by the two French producers, Chrysalis and its remixed accompaniments demand multiple listens to get a true feel for the stories they tell.
Artist: Clawz SG, Mashk
Title: Chrysalis
Cat. No: IS018
Release Date: August 20th, 2018

Lana Turner, whose name I knew, though I've never seen her films, stars in Imitation of Life (1959), which shows the life of Lara Meredith a widow with a young daughter who aspires to become an actress. One day while at the beach, Lara loses Susie, her daughter. Frantic, she meets Steve, a photographer who helps her find Susie. I turns out Susie's been with Annie, an African American woman with a fair skinned daughter, Sarah Jane, who befriends Susie.
Since Annie and Sarah Jane are homeless, Lara takes them in. Although Lara's struggling too, she shares her home with Annie, though not exactly equally. Annie becomes Lara's nanny/housekeeper, which made sense in the era. One storyline is Lara's career success. She (almost unbelievably) rises to the highest level of the film world. Because she is so busy with her career, she has no time for Steve, the handsome photographer who's so good with Susie, Annie and Sarah Jane.
Another, more compelling storyline is Sarah Jane's life. She distances herself from her mother from her youth. She refuses to go to school when her peers learn her mother's Black. As a teen, she secretly dates a boy and hides her mother's race from him. Sarah eventually runs away telling her mother not to look for her because she wants to live as a white person, which breaks her mother's heart.
The film's pretty good, but dated. I found the acting rather stilted, but certain directors have their actors speak in a very stately, stagey way, which we don't see in contemporary films. For some reason in Imitation of Life I noticed this more.
N.B. This film was a remake of a 1934 film with Claudette Colbert.

Banners, Graphics, and More...
One of the most important pieces of online marketing is advertising. On the Internet, that is most effectively done with targeted and postioned Banner Graphics.
IBOtoolbox does the targeting/positioning for you, but what do your ads look like? Does it stand out, grab attention, demand a click.... or does it simply blend in with everything else?
If your banner graphics are poor in quality, are copied from others, are the wrong size, or are just plain ugly... They will not work! By cutting corners on quality, your conversions and sales will be minimal if any. Whether you are new to Internet marketing or you're a veteran marketer - poor quality graphics is one thing that will surely hinder your success. First impressions count and if someone is seeing a banner with poor quality graphics, it will never get clicked and there will be no sale for you! People respond better to quality graphics - banners are no different!
is a great resource available to you where you get access to ready made banners for different business opportunities or templates that you can customize for your business with text, graphics, etc! IBObanners will host all of your banners, plus give you access to a banner maker where you can create your own banners!

text: Prayer vigil in Kane County rallies support for striking workersBy RENEE TOMELLEmailFollowMay 22, 2018 Strike by probation officers, youth counselors in fourth week [Photos by Renee Tomell - email@example.com][A prayer vigil was held May 22 in support of the striking youth counselors and probation officers of the 16th Judicial Circuit outside the Kane County Judicial Center near St. Charles.] ST. CHARLES – Clergy members and supporters joined striking Kane County youth counselors and probation officers of the 16th Judicial Circuit at a prayer vigil at 2:30 p.m. May 22 outside the Judicial Center in St. Charles. More than 50 people gathered to hear ministers and labor organizers, who included two stewards of Teamsters Local 330, striking over wages and alleged unfair labor practices. The 118 union members, who began the strike April 30, have been without a contract since Nov. 30, 2017. "I'm here representing Northern Illinois Jobs with Justice," attendee Mary Shesgreen of Elgin said before the program started. "We are alarmed by the length of time the strikers have had to be out here. … It looks like they are trying to break the union." The Rev. Denise Tracy, chaplain with the Elgin Police Department, said she thinks people ought to talk to each other and resolve their differences, so that the probation officers and youth counselors are able to get back to the people who need their help and service.[The Rev. Michael Mann (from left) of St. Andrew United Methodist Church of Carol Stream; the Rev. Denise Tracy, chaplain with the Elgin Police Department; and the Rev. C.J. Hawking, executive director of Arise Chicago, a labor and faith community group, speak to gathered strikers outside the Kane County Judicial Center near St. Charles.] The Rev. Michael Mann of St. Andrew United Methodist Church of Carol Stream said the United Methodist Church has a long history of supporting workers and their right to organize. "… That way we address grievances in the workplace and bring justice for all," he said, adding it's important to him to stand with the workers. Jared Weiser, youth counselor and a union steward, said the strike has gone on for 23 days, but they are standing firm, noting the strikers include people who have been on the job from six months to 20 years. He said his co-workers have created bonds with individuals as they work at behavior modification. He added that later they receive thank-yous from people whose lives they helped turn around. Because of the strike, thousands of offenders have gone unmonitored, Weiser said. "It's a risk to public safety," Weiser said. "The rapport we've built is crucial. We want a fair contract. … It matters what we do."He said their work unfairly has been deemed nonessential. Fellow steward Krista Larson, a probation officer in the sex offender unit, said she and her colleagues have dedicated their lives to their work and deserve to be considered essential employees. The Rev. C.J. Hawking, executive director of Arise Chicago, a labor and faith community group, said she has talked to the striking workers and finds their stories compelling and inspiring. She called them truly dedicated to helping former offenders transform their lives. Arise Chicago lends a moral voice for what is happening in the workplace, she said, noting that its work is grounded in Scripture. She talked of God speaking to Moses about leading his people out of the oppression of slavery and the trajectory to the efforts of Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and Cesar Chavez on behalf of workers. She said their courage is reflected in the striking county workers. She prayed for their courage to continue."The religious community is standing with them," she said. At the rally was Terry Hancock, president of Teamsters Joint Council 25. "Shoulder to shoulder we win," he told the strikers. "Stay together and walk together." Teamster Local 330 President Dominic Romanazzi said the group will not accept substandard wages and unfair treatment, adding it's likely that 3,000 criminal offenders have not been monitored or supervised since the strike began.He called upon Chief Judge Susan Clancy Boles to end the strike. After the rally, he said an hour-long meeting between the union and county took place May 21 and he spoke with the county's counsel earlier May 22. 'I'm cautiously optimistic that movement will be made by management," Romanazzi said. Clancy Boles could not be reached for comment.
