On a bitter winter evening this past February, I left the bustling warmth of New York City's Grand Central Station and headed to Scandinavia House. The wind blew frigid air at me in a sideways slant, the sort of weather that usually keeps me pinned to my chair at home. But there was a concert on, and I'd arranged to meet a fellow named Michael Douglas Jones.
The concert, by a group called Skogensemble, was playing music I'd never heard of. As for the composers, I knew the name of only one, Ellen Lindquist, and hers only in connection with Douglas Jones and his organization Companion Star.
I looked forward to meeting Douglas Jones, and, whatever the music might be like, I figured it would be fun to hear a concert in such an unexpected place. It also didn't hurt that Scandinavia House has an onsite restaurant where I could order Swedish meatballs (for which I have an unaccountable weakness), and have a glass of wine before the event.
The evening at Scandinavia House was full of wonders. Douglas Jones was a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting fellow. He spoke with passionate animation about having had the chance to take part, as a performer, in the creation of musical compositions. Companion Star is devoted to that ideal.
I left the experience yet more curious about Companion Star's dream seminar/drömseminarium project, which takes its texts from the poetry of Tomas Tranströmer. I resolved to buy a book of Tranströmer's poems, but failed to follow through. When Tranströmer won the Nobel Prize, I felt the sting of my sloth and ordered a book on the spot. As happens all too often with Amazon up here, weeks went by, and the book didn't arrive.
I finally got myself to a bookstore, chose a book of translations of Tranströmer recommended by a trusted friend, and settled down to read. "Awakening is a parachute jump from the dream," began Prelude. Pretty good hook, I thought, and I read on.
I've been to Sweden, though only once, in summertime, a student's Eurail Pass in hand. Unaware that it takes longer to go the length of Sweden than it does from Hamburg to Cannes, I took a train to the Arctic Circle.
In The Blue House, Tranströmer describes a summer night as "a night of radiant sun." In Epilogue's December, though, "The way here is stony:/daylight waits until noon/to reveal winter's coliseum,/lit by unreal clouds."
Sweden's landscape, its weather and its seasons, its rowanberries, bats, and moths (Lamento's "small pale telegrams from the world') are in the marrow of Tranströmer's poems. From Solitary Swedish Houses:
A tangle of black spruce
and smoking moonbeams.
Here's the croft lying low
and not a sign of life.
Till the morning dew murmursTranströmer's sense of dark and light are built out of his world's particulars, as in this from On the Outskirts of Work:
and an old man opens
—with a shaky hand—his window
and lets out an owl.
Outside the lamps the September night is totally dark.In Winter's Formulae, he writes, "This is not Africa./This is not Europe./This is nowhere but 'here.'//And what was 'I'/is only a word/in December's dark mouth." From that deeply specific darkness, Tranströmer looks toward the return of light:
When the eyes adjust, there is faint light
over the ground where large snails glide out
and the mushrooms are as numerous as the stars.
Tranströmer slips between landscape and dreamscape, fashioning his own version of life's sense. In Dream Seminar, he writes of "A bedroom. Night./The darkened sky is flowing through the room."
So rough, but nimble-fingered.
From their ample bottles
greenery will foam this spring.
The book that someone fell asleep from liesTranströmer's poetry has been translated into English repeatedly. Robert Hass's task in editing his book was to choose the best. In his preface, Hass wrote that he worried
still open
sprawling wounded at the edge of the bed.
The sleeper's eyes are moving,
they're following the text without letters
in another book—
illuminated, old-fashioned, swift.
that a book like this, containing so many voices, might suffer from the loss of a sense of unity in its tone. But it is my impression that Tranströmer's voice, spare and clear, and the undistractable clarity and intensity of his vision have carried those small differences in tone.
Companion Star's dream seminar/drömseminarium, created "collaboratively through improvisation," will add to the canon of translation, but differently, as the project uses music and movement to convey Tranströmer's vision and voice. I'm eager for a chance to hear and see the results.
In Vermeer, one of the texts used in dream seminar/drömseminarium, Tranströmer writes
It hurts to go through walls, it makes you sick
but it's necessary.
The world is one. But walls . . .
And the wall is part of yourself—
Whether you know it or not it's the same for everyone,
everyone except little children. No walls for them.
The clear sky has set itself on a slant against the wall.
It's like a prayer to emptiness.
And the emptiness turns it face to us
and whispers,
"I am not empty, I am open."

Ellen Lindquist: Nakoda
Allen Pettersson: Symphony No. 8
Karin Rehnqvist: Där korpen vitnar (Where the raven blanches)
Sven-David Sandström: To see a world
The composers and compositions on both lists are not ones with which I was familiar, but I chose a selection of 20th and 21st century composers that held appeal for me. On Spotify, the ones included are Rolf Martinsson (Spotify erroneously omits the 'n'), Allan Pettersson, Karin Rehnqvist, Sven-David Sandström, and Benjamin Staern. (I was not able to find any of the Skogensemble composers represented on Spotify.) The Spotify list includes the full jazz album by the Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek on which the titles are all quotations from Tranströmer poems (thanks to George Mattingly for identifying this to me). I encourage readers to identify other composers to include on the list.
The quotation and more information about Companion Star and a treasure trove of information about dream seminar/drömseminarium can be found here.

Ted Todd Hardwood Floors
Ted Todd is Great Britain's leading name in premium quality hardwood floors. Constantly innovative through product design with a passion to deliver unique and unusual hardwood floors.
I's 20 years since Ted started the business in his parents' garden – hungry for business adventure, keen to experiment and knowing that he faced huge challenges with so many established companies. So Ted started small and reclaimed hardwood floors from old mills…
Twenty years later, they are doing something right – as borne out by thousands of floors they have supplied across all project types in the UK and internationally – family homes, city apartments, five-star hotels, retail spaces, bars, restaurants, national museums and others.
Some say Ted Todd are trendsetters, a strange description given that they have always focused on timeless classic style rather than meeting fashion whims. That said, over 20 years, they have developed many new ideas into great wood floors. A notable example was solid wide-plank oak floorboards, an unashamed flooring experiment that was distinctly different to the narrow strips that were prevalent at the time. Solid wide-plank oak boards are now accepted as quite normal
Always improving and rethinking what a wood floor is
Ted Todd believe wood remains the best material known to man. There's nothing else like wood on earth; they respect this by using it responsibly and crafting beautiful things that will last.
Direct Underfloor heating can supply and fit Ted Todd Flooring to ensure the best look and quality flooring for your home or workplace.

Stories are all around us. Walk down any street, linger in any one spot, and simply listen to the voices around you. Even in the most mundane of everyday detail, what you will hear is a telling of a person's life.
As part of Brooklyn College's Listening Project, students are fanning out across the borough to record the experiences of everyday people. The project, set up in 2015 as a joint endeavor between students and faculty in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Visual, Media and Performing Arts, has completed more than 400 interviews that will be archived at the library and eventually made available to the public online.
This spring, Lamont Baldwin, a graduate student in the Department of Television and Radio, interviewed George Switzer. The owner of Queen Anne Ravioli, one of the last homemade pasta stores in Brooklyn, speaks about the history of the store and the evolution of his Bensonhurst neighborhood. Listen to a snip of it now.

Ten steps to feeling successful in your life.
Source: How to Attract Abundance Into Your Life by Wayne Dyer – Beliefnet.com.
My Guru Me:
I have always believed that we have the power to create abundance in our own life. On a daily basis though; it is difficult to remember how, where and when to focus our thoughts and actions. And action is definitely required on our part.
How easy it would be if we could think it and miraculously we would have that dream car, job, partner, life. That however is not our reality. We have to take some responsibility in the creating; it is our life after all.
We need to know with 100% clarity in what ways we would like to be abundant. And we can't just say in always, we need to think about the question and put positive thoughts and actions into making it happen…in all ways.
The source article for this post has some fabulous ideas from Dr Wayne Dyer's "The Power of Intention", on how to create abundance in your life. I think is worth the time to read, because we all deserve to be living an abundant life.

New iPhone To Have Larger Screen, Reports SayBy Marhgil Macuha on May 17, 2012 in Smartphone, Technology •
Image Credit: Gizmodo
The new iPhone will have larger screen if rumors circulating on blogs and news sites this week are true.
According to reports from several technology blogs and news sites, Apple plans to use a larger screen that measures 4 inches from corner to corner on the next-generation iPhone. This is about 30 percent increase in viewing area than the original 3.5-inch screen that Apple has used since introducing iPhone in 2007.
Furthermore, reports said that Apple has begun placing orders for the larger screen on suppliers in Japan and South Korea. Production of the new screens was said to have already begun at Korea's LG Display Co Ltd, Sharp Corp and Japan Display Inc.
Apple's decision to create larger screen for the next-generation iPhone was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

One week away and I wish I was racing right now. After all of the training, dreaming, sweating, and a little bleeding, I am ready.
The base period (starting in late January) was fascinating as I took my distances and overall training volume up higher than ever before. The period was concluded with the Ironman 70.3 in St. Croix, which served as a preparation race, for my big one.
Upon returning from the US Virgin Islands, it was time to enter the build phase where I increased the distances on my long workouts, added time to the tempo workouts, and enhanced the interval workouts with either more intervals, shorter rests, and/or more intensity.
Finally, I peaked my training to where I took the volume to its highest and kept the speed I had earned in the base and build phases from the faster tempo and interval workouts. I peaked in volume around two weeks ago to give me around three weeks to recover and reap the wonderful rewards from those last couple "epic" workouts.
It's funny how much your perspective changes after building up your work capacity. What use to be a "gut checking" training session is now more like a recovery workout.
It's also interesting how the body reacts to increased training volume and/or intensity; at first you wake up the next day and feel like your legs weigh about 150lbs each and it's a chore just to walk upstairs. But then you give it a couple days and wake up, hit the road and you feel supercharged, like you went from a V-4 to a V-12. This cycle happens over and over again, and each time, your engine gets a little bigger, a little louder.
I was pleasantly surprised by the improved training times in my latest long workouts. There were periods of time when my performance was dropping due to the extra load and demand I was putting on my body. But, I stuck to the plan and kept asking my body to recover and come back stronger, and it did.
For example, the first time I ran over three hours and attempted intervals a few days later, I had no juice and "no gears" to shift up too. But now, I was able to run even further and come back two days later and fly on the intervals.
It takes a couple jolts to the system to be able to do this, but once it kicks in, it works like magic. My experience with the biking and swimming are very similar; you keep upping the ante and let the rewards naturally happen.
The body is an amazing adapting organism, all you have to do is give it a reason to get better at something and it will.
Now, I am tapering, where I cut back the volume and still do speed work without taxing my recovery ability. I certainly feel a new zest, with the reduced volume, but I have developed a craving for the long and intense workouts. While training on my big workouts I kept thinking to myself, "There is nothing else I would rather be doing."
Going into the Ironman, I plan to race my plan and "have fun going for it." After all of the visualization I feel like I already ran it.
I intend on keeping a "childlike enthusiasm" where I give it my all with complete focus on the present moment and a feeling of excitement and wonder as I go beyond where I have ever been.
I am grateful for the thrill, enjoyment, and growth that I have already experienced with the preparation. The training taught me invaluable lessons about myself, and life in general. Plus, I have met many wonderful people and had the opportunity to help others take action and go for their goals in triathlon, running, or other.
I love the combination of a journey filled with passion, joy, and adventure as one goes for a meaningful goal with their whole heart and soul. When one does this, they already win.
It's time to pack for Louisville and experience the dream.

22 March 2018
The African National Congress notes recent reports on the Symposium "Morocco's Support to African Liberation Movements: South Africa, Mozambique, Angola, Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde" held on 19-20 February 2018, which was held under the Patronage of His Majesty, the Moroccan King Mohamed VI, on occupied Western Sahara. The ANC calls on Morocco to desist from using such forums to justify its occupation of Western Sahara. Such symposia aim to boost Morocco's stature as a mainstay in the liberation of Africa and imply therefore that the international community should support Morocco's current colonial occupation on Western Sahara.
In this context, the ANC re-affirms below the 54th ANC National Conference resolutions on Western Sahara:
a. Recall the historic fraternal relations between the ANC and the Polisario Front as allies in the struggle against injustice, colonialism and apartheid.
b. Recall that Western Sahara is the only remaining colony in Africa.
c. Reaffirm the inalienable right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination and independence.
d. Recall all relevant UN Human Rights reports and reports of international human rights organisations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc.
The ANC therefore wishes to affirm its position as follows:
- The ANC condemns the withdrawal by Morocco from the UN-led peace process and supports UN efforts to bring both parties back to the negotiating table.
- The ANC engage with a wide range of players to ensure that the proposed UN Referendum in Western Sahara takes place.
- The ANC urges the international community, and the United Nations in particular, to assume without further delay, their legal and moral responsibility on granting respect to the inalienable right for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.
- The ANC expresses solidarity with Saharawi political prisoners and human rights defenders and calls on the international community to provide material support to the Saharawi.
- The ANC urges the international community to call on Morocco to immediately lift the military, security and media blackout imposed in the occupied territories of Western Sahara, to remove the wall and to initiate and lobby the international community for the natural resources of Western Sahara to be under the mandate of the United Nations.
- The ANC salutes the struggle and determination of the Saharawi people, both in occupied and liberated zones, as well as in refugee camps under the leadership of the Polisario Front.
- The ANC will intensify its solidarity campaign with Western Sahara with more practical initiatives such as humanitarian aid, solidarity marches, seminars etc.
- That Morocco has been admitted into the African Union should not reduce our support for the struggle of Western Sahara.
- That the government of SA appoints a Special Envoy on the Western Sahara issue.

So today I made it out into the yard to take a look and see what things looked like. First off, I actually have green stuff in my garden. My Black Eyed Susans are starting to come in.
Here are photos of the garden that I already have established. It's about 2 – 2.5 feet wide and the length of the entire garage slab.
Here is a photo of the existing shade garden that needs a ton of work. It's about 1.5 feed wide.
And here is a photo of an old pile of wood that has been sitting in this spot for a few years. I am hoping to get it cleaned up and put a good sized garden in its place.
Finally here are my goofballs cheesing for the camera

Another GIF- GSP is the Bear, Nick Diaz is the Fake Seal, Condit is the Pane of Glass
You know how they say a picture is worth a 1000 words? By that logic, a well edited GIF picture must be worth over 9000. Look at the picture below of a prank pulled on a polar bear in a zoo, and tell me the title of this post doesn't make sense:
|Come on, the polar bear is a monstrous pale takedown monster from up north.
How is that not a great metaphor for George St. Pierre?

It was all pomp and Flair at the just concluded Miss NYSC & Mr. Macho night at the NYSC Lagos camp. The event was sponsored by a popular Lagos restaurant cum night club which ensured that the contestants, their supporters and the judges were entertained all through the event.
They were also treated to mouthwatering dishes from the company's wide array of continental and local menu.
The contestants also held their end of the bargain, putting up fantastic presentations to the excitement of the spectators and were duly rewarded with great prizes.

A headquarters for the Ohio-Kentucky district of the International Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers union is being built at the intersection of routes 58 and 113.
The 30,000-square-foot building will house administrative offices, a training center, and a 300-seat union hall that can be rented out for private events, according to Kenneth Kudela, district director.
In a presentation to the Lorain County commissioners, Kudela said the trades building is in a good, visible location.
"It gives us an opportunity to be right in the center of everything that's happening and we're excited to be there," Kudela said. "I look forward to working with the community and area development groups."
He said 26 full-time workers and four part-timers will be employed at the facility. Its main function will be training, including teaching bricklaying, cement laying, marble masonry, and laying tile.
The training center will have six instructors and a $560,000 annual budget paid for with members' dues. The district represents about 6,000 members in Ohio and Kentucky.
Kudela said the union will be recruiting students from area high schools, the Lorain County JVS, and schools such as Lorain County Community College. He said the union hasn't done a good job in the past of promoting building trades and that the work pays well.
Apprentice wages begin at half of the $32 per hour journeyman rate with increases every six months. It takes about four years to become a journeyman. Work includes 6,000 hours of on-the-job training and 640 hours of related technical instruction.
"It is a good way to raise a family," Kudela said. "Getting that message out is crucial."
Commissioner Ted Kalo said building trade work isn't glamorous but it's necessary.
"You're not going to build a building with a computer. You're not going to install a floor covering with a computer," he said. "It takes manpower to do that and people who are skilled to do it."

BJ Gillum and his wife Saundra purchased a 25 foot Bayliner Sierrra 2556 in Millsboro, Pennsylvania in 1994 and christened it the Saundra Kay. They cruised it down the Monongahela, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee rivers to Rockwood Tennessee, where they planned to build their home in the near future.
They later took a pleasure cruise to Chattanooga, Tennessee and back, as a warm up for a major, month-long cruise to New Orleans and back. Captain Gillum kept meticulous logs of their adventures, and has compiled them into this entertaining, no-punches-pulled tale. The trips involved interesting characters, mishaps, and misadventures as they navigated through uncertain waters, stormy weather, and tricky lock systems along major waterways.

Breaking bread
Breaking bread
Like to show off your burger eating skills? Head to Bundar
THE NEWLY-opened resto café in Koramangala that goes by the name of Bundar is literally an ode to bread. It takes its name from 'bun ke andar', (read: inside the bun). The décor though, including the signage and plates on the wall, celebrates monkeys! Yeah that's one word serving two purposes.
We began with masala chai and lemongrass tea, served in khullads (earthen pots). They are flavourful. They aren't on the menu really, but you can still ask for it. After all, what's bread without some tea?
The food menu is limited, and includes Indian street specials, and European café food, spanning quick bites, burgers, hot dogs, pav, focaccia breads, and pita. All their bread is made in-house.
One of our favourite picks would be the sandwich made with focaccia bread. Packed with veggies, black olives, and Italian dressing, it's tasty for sure. The pav bhaji however didn't quite do the trick. It was buttery enough, but wasn't spicy for our taste.
For meat lovers, the 'wtf pav' is a pretty neat dish — pav stuffed with bacon and nutella, now isn't that cool? It's a result of a "random kitchen experiment" by its owner.
If you are craving for authentic Goan food, get a plate of the chorizo pav (chunks of pork sausages inside the bun). They source the chorizos from Goa. It's a simple preparation, made by tossing chorizo in onions, but works well.
And did we tell you about the burger challenge called the 'heart attack burger'. It's a seven-inch chicken burger, loaded with bacon, egg and cheese. If you finish it in less than the current best record of five minutes and 31 seconds, it's on the house for you.
We wound up the evening with serradura — a Portuguese dessert. A mildly sweet dessert, it has alternate layers of crushed biscuits and cream. And if you would much rather 'drink' your dessert, try the Messy Shake. It's got brownies, milk, chocolate fudge, and four scoops of ice cream.
`400 upwards (for two). At 6th block, Koramangala. 11 am-11 pm. Details:49652470

There are scam payday loan services out there, and you need to protect yourself before you make a decision. Here's how you'll know it's legit.
Nowadays, it seems like there are more and more people who are looking for ways to scam others out of their hard-earned cash.
There are so many different types of scams. No doubt you've heard of them. Nigerian banking schemes, Ponzi schemes, and tons of others.
However, one of the most insidious types of scam is the Payday loan scam. These scams are dangerous because they can be hard to spot.
That's why we're going to teach you how to spot a payday loan scam before it's too late.
Look Out For Hidden Fees
Before signing your payday loan agreement (or any other type of loan agreement, for that matter) make sure you read the document carefully. Do not sign anything until you feel you have a full understanding of the terms outlined in the agreement.
One of the chief ways that predatory companies fool their clients is to hide fees in the loan agreement. They do this because they know most people won't take the time to read the entire document.
Don't fall into this trap.
Find out exactly what fees you will be responsible for. As a matter of fact, some states have limits on the amount of money a company can charge. Find out what your state requires and check to see if the agreement you're signing complies with the law.
Check With The Better Business Bureau
The Better Business Bureau is a great resource for those who want to avoid being scammed. You don't want to rely on the BBB alone, but you should still check to see if the company you're dealing with has any complaints lodged against them.
The BBB can provide you with information on the company. This way, you can see the complaints that the company has. Not only that, you can see the nature of the complaints that are being levied against the company.
In some cases, you might not be able to find the company on the BBB's website. This could mean that they haven't had any complaints. It could also mean that the company has not registered with the BBB. If this is the case, you want to go deeper and do more research on the organization.
Watch Out For Advance Fee Scams
Sometimes, companies will approve your loan, then contact you to let you know that you have some type of fee that you have to pay.
There are a few different types they may have:
- Insurance fee
- Three months advance payment
- Processing fee
They will ask you to pay this through an electronic transfer. But if this is a scam, will pay their fee and the loan will never materialize and you will have no way to get your money back.
In some cases, this might be a fee that you will pay if the broker attempted to get you approved for a loan, but wasn't able to. This fee might just be for the work they did in trying to get you approved. This isn't abnormal, but like I said before, you want to check all of your fees in the loan agreement. –
The Lender Doesn't Care About Your Credit History
You've probably seen companies advertise loans regardless of your credit history. In many cases, these are scams. The purpose of a lender is to make money. That's why they care about your credit.
If a lender claims to be able to get you a loan regardless of your credit you need to be careful. Do further research to determine whether or not they are legit.
Avoiding scams doesn't have to be difficult. By doing your due diligence, you can protect yourself from scams.
If you haven't heard of LittleLoans, check them out. They're a trusty source, and you'll find more info there.

What You Need to Know About Mormonism
Many people believe that Mormonism is a sect of Christianity, and Mormon leadership is happy to propagate the lie. However, there are a lot of things that separate Biblical Christianity from Mormonism. Here is a video that will give you all the information you need to see the difference between the two:

Why Mormonism Has Wild Teachings
Mormonism has some pretty interesting teachings. Most are found no where in Scripture and many are anti-Biblical. I think there is a reason for this and one of Brigham Young's sermons illustrates this perfectly. On October 8, 1854 Young preached "I Propose to Speak Upon a Subject that does not Immediately Concern Yours or My Welfare" (found here) and this is some of what he had to say:
I think these preliminaries will satisfy me, and I feel prepared to take my text; it is the words of Jesus Christ, but where they are in the Bible I cannot tell you now, for I have not taken pains to look at them. I have had so much to do, that I have not read the Bible for many years. I used to be a Bible student; I used to read and study it, but did not understand the spirit and meaning of it; I knew well enough how it read.
Brigham Young tells us that he is quoting Jesus but he can't point his listeners to where it is found in the Bible because he did not take "the pains to look at them". From a Christian perspective this is disturbing. If a pastor stood up and said something like this I would walk out. The Bible is our source for knowing who God is and what he has done. The doctrines Young taught were wild because he didn't care about what the Scripture say. But even if Brigham Young wanted to reference the Bible he wouldn't be able to understand it.
Notice what he said, "I used to be a Bible student; I used to read and study it, but did not understand the spirit and meaning of it". Mormons should be ashamed of this and I think that if they knew about this sermon they would be. When I speak with Mormons they use the Bible all the time. But they never seem to have words for this comment made by Brigham Young, after all, he was the President of the Mormon church. When one of your spiritual leaders can't understand the Bible then you have a serious problem. As if that wasn't bad enough, Young had no problem with making up scripture. In the same sermon he said this:
I feel inclined here to make a little scripture. (Were I under the necessity of making scripture extensively I should get Brother Heber C. Kimball to make it, and then I would quote it. I have seen him do this when any of the Elders have been pressed by their opponents, and were a little at a loss; he would make a scripture for them to suit the case, that never was in the Bible, though none the less true, and make their opponents swallow it as the words of an Apostle, or one of the Prophets. The Elder would then say, 'Please turn to that scripture, gentlemen and read it for yourselves.' No they could not turn to it but they recollected it like the Devil for fear of being caught.) I will venture to make a little [scripture].
The words of Brigham Young say far more than he was intending. Young says that he is going to make up scripture then gives a very interesting story about Heber Kimball. Not only is making up scripture forbidden by Scripture but even more it shows the dishonesty of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Young embraces Kimball's making up of bible passages when speaking to opposers of Mormonism. This highlights the dishonesty within the teachings of Mormonism. Kimball never told the opposers that he was giving them false scripture. He never told them that they couldn't find it because it wasn't actually in the Bible. It was dishonest and this is what Young references when he wants to "make a little scripture".
We, as Christians, must be aware of these things because it will greatly impact the way we view Mormonism. These days Mormonism is telling people that they are just another sect of Christianity. This is not true. Christians do not lie to argue for their positions like Heber Kimball. Christians do not "make a little scripture" like Brigham Young did. Christians can properly understand the Bible through study and effort unlike Brigham Young.
Mormonism is not Christianity.
Thanks for reading.

This Mexican-inspired salad works well as an addition to bhurji, chapatis, tacos, burritos. Of course, it's great on its own, too!
For a tasty twist on an old favourite, layer this salad on top of a baked potato with lots of Cheddar cheese!
Mmm, mmm good! I had to make substitutions since I made this at the spur of the moment and had to use what was handy! I subbed a can of pintos for garbanzo beans, a can of diced tomatoes with chiles instead of fresh, and basil for the cilantro. Less oil and more lime juice, just as a personal preference. I have a girlfriend who makes something similar, only with Italian dressing and this beats hers...no contest. - 05 May 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
A little too sweet for us. We prefer the flavors in Black Bean and Corn Salad II. - 30 Aug 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
really yummy! I made this as a side for a chicken breast cooked in lime and butter, and then served with warm tortillas. - 31 Dec 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

They will learn basic yoga poses, songs, games, simple meditation and breathing! This class will bring a giant smile to their faces and instill a sense of peace in their hearts.
YOUNG WARRIORS 7-12 | Tuesdays 4:15 - 5:15 pm
This class invites your kids and tweens to learn yoga but in a fun and accessible atmosphere. We work on all the basics – sun salutations, meditation, pranayama, challenge poses and games but with a twist. Updog classes will leave them wanting more yoga in their lives and using the techniques both at home and school.
Meet the Instructor, Bianca Bloomfield:
Bianca discovered yoga in 2013 as a cross-training exercise while prepping to run a half-marathon in New York City.
When she moved to Los Angeles in 2014, she dropped the running and began practicing yoga on an almost daily basis-- it was a way for her work through all the weird emotions she had around moving to a new city.
As Bianca dug deep during her 200 hour teacher training at One Down Dog, she began wondering why she hadn't been introduced to yoga & meditation as a child. So, she took a kids yoga training with mini yogis and right away started teaching kids as young as two. Later Bianca began to incorporate family classes that focus on allowing grown-ups to reconnect to their yoga practices while introducing yoga to children in a playful way.
In 2018 Bianca created Young Warrior Yoga, a yoga & wellness brand that teaches children and families how to use the tools of breath, mindfulness and movement to feel empowered and present in every day life. She now teaches in studios, schools, and homes across Los Angeles.

You can practically set your calendar to the following constants: pay days, Sharknado films, and the revolving selections of the Netflix instant queue. We've already seen the fantastic films heading to the streaming giant next month, but alas, now's the time to go through the movies that are worth watching before Netflix kicks them off the service. If you want to see what was taken off of Netflix streaming through the month of July, click here. But if you're more curious about what you've still got time to take part in, you may proceed!
10 Things I Hate About You
It may sound weird, but if Ready Player One is going to incorporate more aspects from 90's pop culture into its treasure hunting narrative, we kind of wish they'd use the most iconic scene from 10 Things I Hate About You as one of the puzzles. I can still remember Heath Ledger serenading Julia Stiles in the bleachers, with young Wade Watts having to remember the words to, "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," as the sequence plays out. That scenario is not very likely to play out, but you can still watch the origins of that special moment on Netflix before it leaves the streaming service.

Our Heritage celebrates the history, traditions and people that have made us the special place we are today.
Vic The Demon
On November 8, 1923, by proclamation of President V. L. Roy and Coach H. Lee Prather, all athletic teams became known as the Demons. The name was decided upon by a contest open to all students with a grand prize of $10.00.
The Legend of Isabella
Isabella was a young French maiden, renowned for her beauty, who once lived in the original Bullard mansion after the Bullards were gone. The young lady had many suitors but preferred the company of a young man from the East, sent to Louisiana on business.
Chief Caddo
In March of 1962, the Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin College of Nacogdoches, Texas presented Northwestern State University with a black gum tree trunk from the SFA campus from which a statue was to be carved. The black gum tree weighed over a ton and was thirty inches in diameter.
The Rock
The rock, an imposing chunk of limestone, was brought to campus in the summer of 2006 by members of the university staff.
Lady of the Bracelet
In the early 1920s, the Potpourri, Northwestern State University's yearbook, sponsored the first beauty pageant held on the university campus. The contestants were selected from photographs submitted to well-known movie producers for judging and were chosen for their charm and beauty.
Mr. & Miss NSU
Beginning in 1956 and continuing the tradition today, Mr. and Miss NSU remains the highest honor a student can receive from their peers.
The Demon Head (Demon Medallion)
A fiberglass medallion with a relief of a demon's face is surrounded by a hexagonal concrete rim. The demon is bald and has horns jutting out above his pointy ears. He has a goatee, two, sharp protruding lower teeth, and a deeply wrinkled face.

The Wandering Ascetic, the new project band by Rudra's frontman, Kathir, has inked a deal with Sonic Blast Media to release their new upcoming Ep, Manifest Destiny, on 15th March 2013 worldwide.
The Wandering Ascetic, the new project band formed by Kathir, frontman for pioneer vedic metal band, Rudra, along with long-time friend, Kannan, in late 2011. The band started of as a two piece band with Kathir handling vocals and guitar; with Kannan on drums. The band eventually recruited Jay, another long time friend to come on board as their new bassist. The three members were previously part of another band, 7th River, which disbanded halfway through recording their debut album.
"I started The Wandering Ascetic (TWA) with Kannan and Jay to create an outlet to express another side to myself. Something that I would not do with RUDRA because of obvious reasons. Musically TWA is a part of me that digs old school death metal & black metal… TWA also allowed me to pen ideas that I always wanted to write about." states Kathir, Rudra's frontman on forming The Wandering Ascetic.

I remember when I came to Xela in 2008, there were so many things that I loved about the city. The people, the mountains/volcanoes, the music, the colors; so much to love. I do have to admit though, as a smoker, I thoroughly appreciated that I didn't have to go outside to smoke. It was a lovely refreshing change from the strict "air" laws of Canada.
Likely I will offend the non-smoking readers at this point 😉 Although I do understand that second hand smoke is dangerous and smelly and all the other (valid) reasons for having separate smoking areas, there is a delightful decadence to being able to smoke in a restaurant, at your table, after a meal. It's a comfort thing, smokers "do" that for dessert.
The non-smoking law was passed in Xela in January of 2009 and all of us who smoke sighed in disappointment. Having been through the difficult change in Canada years ago, I knew how to cope with it. But I watched others around me struggle with the "why's" of the law and the new restrictions and the inconvenience of having to go outside to partake in our addictions.
It is healthier for everyone, it is cleaner, it is certainly better for the elderly and the children not to have to be submitted to the second hand smoke. I completely understand that it IS the better choice. Perhaps the smokers who have to go outside to have their cigarette might even just smoke a little less because of that. I wholeheartedly agree it is the right thing. But on any given day, if I find a little cantina that has litros of Cabro and lets me smoke inside, I'll smoke double, just because it is so lovely.

The Food Industry and the Allergic Consumer
by Mary Allen, AAIA CEO
When the AAIA was founded in 1964 there was little ingredient labelling. In the sixties there were more stay-at-home mothers who took charge of the shopping and cooking. The average Canadian diet was simpler, with fewer choices. Over the past 40 years much has changed. Ingredient labelling is well established. While there are still some gaps and some concerns, today's consumer has a great deal more information and much more choice. However, it does take time to make sense of this abundance of information and new products - but today time is often in short supply as busy consumers juggle careers and family life. We now rely more and more on processed foods. We also eat a wider variety of foods and more restaurant meals. Moreover, our children are increasingly eating under the supervision of caregivers at home, at daycare and at after-school programs.
Coping with a food allergy is particularly stressful in the months following a diagnosis when the patient and family has to deal with changes in lifestyle - taking more time to shop, learning to understand and read food labels, explaining the allergy and educating others. We know that the allergic consumer must be vigilant 100% of the time. Deciphering food labels and assessing risk are complex tasks and labels may still not provide enough information to those dealing with common allergies such as milk or egg. While this will be addressed by the proposed new regulations for the top ten priority allergens, there will likely always be some gaps.
Today, one of the biggest issues for consumers is the increasing use of precautionary warnings, which come in a wide variety of formats, most starting with "May contain..." Many of our members appreciate being offered this information but often do not know how to interpret some warnings, especially if they perceive them as being used on products with low risk. Manufacturers assume that the warning will keep allergic consumers away from the product but we know that some consumers routinely ignore the warnings, in the belief that the warning is being used mainly for legal reasons. Such consumers are putting themselves at risk since it is very difficult for a lay person to accurately assess the degree of risk. The AAIA believes that we need voluntary standards and criteria to ensure that precautionary warnings are more consistent, relevant and used for real risks. Allergy associations and government have formed a committee to examine this issue.
The growing use of allergen claims and symbols is also of concern. Some products have a positive claim while others have a negative claim - e.g. contains milk versus no milk. Many companies are developing their own logos or symbols for products aimed at the allergic market. There is a risk that consumers could be confused. If the symbols are very small, the positive warning could be mistaken for the negative one. There is also the worry that consumers will go by the claims and fail to read the detailed ingredient label. Here again, it would be helpful to have voluntary standards to ensure a consistent approach. The Association québécoise des allergies alimentaires' (AQAA) new certification program www.certification-allergies.com is available to assist manufacturers in this regard.
Brand consistency could become an issue. When the same brand name is used on a variety of versions of a particular brand, some with the allergen, others without the allergen and still others with a may contain warning, there is a risk that the consumer will err. We know that food allergic consumers are particularly brand loyal and that they often think of brands as being homogeneous. While differentiation of the packaging on products now on the market is often very effective, some consumers simply decide that product is no longer okay for them because of the fear that their child or caregiver will confuse one version for another. We constantly remind our members to think in terms of "brand formats" rather than brands but it is a difficult message to get across to the general public. We hope that companies that venture down this path in future, will be aware of the need for very clear labelling.
Marketing messages must be responsibly formulated; short run market share should not be the only criteria when serving the allergy market. As always, it is important to keep allergy info in an easy-to-read and easy-to-find format, on the outside packaging as well as individual packaging.
Allergen avoidance is a shared responsibility among consumers, manufacturers, retailers and food servers. Dialogue and ongoing education are crucially important in this complex and rapidly changing food industry. As is so often the case, in allergy and in life, prevention is key. Dialogue and cooperation have brought much progress in the past four decades and we look forward to collaborating in future, to enhance both safety and product availability. We owe much thanks to the many individuals and groups, including government and food industry officials, who worked tirelessly for many years to improve safety and raise awareness.
The issues faced by today's allergic consumers were summarized in a recent article in CANADIAN FOODSAFETY MANAGEMENT. This magazine is the first and only Canadian trade publication dedicated exclusively to the Canadian food safety industry. It is a quarterly publication designed for a wide variety of people working in the food industry, dealing with all aspects of food safety. www.foodsafetymanagement.com

Historical Background
[from Wikepedia]
Daniel Andrew Seeger is a retired American non-profit-business administrator, and a Quaker religion and social-issue writer, who was earlier a defendant in a case on conscription of pacifists that was decided by the Supreme Court.
Seeger had come from a Roman Catholic background, been heavily influenced by Quaker ideas, and volunteered with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). In 1958, he was denied conscientious objector status under the 1948 military-draft law, on grounds that his religious beliefs did not constitute "belief in a Supreme Being"; he was eventually ordered to enter the armed forces, and convicted of draft refusal. In 1965, the Supreme Court ruled in United States vs. Seeger that his conviction was mistaken, because Congress, in its statutory language, "did not intend" using "the usual understanding" of "Supreme Being", but rather an interpretation that extended to Seeger's "compulsion" to "goodness".
Seeger made a career in the administration of the AFSC, and also worked as Executive Director of Pendle Hill, from which he retired in September 2000. On April 1, 2010, Seeger stepped into the role of Interim General Secretary at the AFSC, pending the conclusion of the search for a permanent General Secretary.
Collection Overview
