For the past few weeks I've been giving serious thought to moving. Perhaps I should be proactive and plan for the next phase of my life, a phase in which I can't do what I've been doing on my own for the past ten-plus years. I'm beginning to feel old and beginning to feel that maintaining my little old townhouse is just too much for me. Something always needs maintenance or repair. There are always shrubs to prune, or leaves to rakes, or mulch to be hauled. And the worst—snow, snow, and more snow to be shoveled.
What if I moved to a nice condo with no stairs and a garage? I'd never have to shovel out my car again and someone else would clean the sidewalks and haul mulch. I'd find a place where I could walk to a coffee shop and a book store, and ideally be able to walk to a really good grocery store. And I could just lock the door and travel without all the complications of having someone watch my house.
So I've spent the past couple of weeks cleaning out the excess in my house with thoughts of putting it on the market. I've done online searches for condominiums in the area, talked to a couple of people about my ideas, and looked at few condos in Annapolis. And I've been thinking about getting an agent and getting serious about this move.
This morning I went for a walk. It was slightly cool, misty, and humid. The colors of the leaves were beautiful, softened by the fog that creeps in from the river. I walked a few blocks from my house to Pine Hill Road, a quaint dirt and gravel road with split-rail fences, horse pastures, and dilapidated barns. It's such a surprise to find this slice of another time and place in the heart of busy, upscale McLean. I realized that I can't leave this. I can't live in a busy urban area with too many cars and too many people and too much concrete. I need green and quiet and lovely places to walk. Maybe eventually I'll have to move, I'll have to surrender to the effects of aging. But I'm not ready yet. Not yet.

So the day has come where I have finally been able to announce the successful publication of my novel. It was a slow process, with one or two teething problems, I'll admit. The video tutorial makes everything look so easy, but of course nothing is straight forward. When I first reviewed my work on Amazon, I knew I hadn't got it quite right – much as I was pleased with my cover design, it did not quite sit right on the screen, compared to other titles, but I've fixed that now.
I even read the sample – and yes, I'm still pleased with it! Now I just need a few more people to look at it and hope that what's written will draw their interest. I warn you, this is an intense novel, a love story but with some very scary characters looming behind the scenes. But I really do hope others will enjoy it.
Lastly, please visit the website for lots of extra information about the book, the decade and it's characters + another extract to read: http://www.samefacedifferentplace.co.uk

Do you know the proper way to make your bed? Your immediate response is probably yes, of course; however, there is more to properly making a bed than just sheets and pillows. From tucking and folding of the folded sheet, specific arrangement of pillows, and even the draping quality of the comforter; all of these things contribute to the overall appearance of the bed. Check out this helpful video from Better Homes & Gardens entitled, " How to Make a Bed" for instructional steps on how to properly make a bed.

Thursday, May 12
For Christmas, I took a big wooden box and painted it black. Then, I stenciled the word "SOAP" on the lid in white and gave it to Mike as a gift. He's a man never in search of an opinion, and a literal soapbox seemed to be the perfect gift for him. My willingness to share my opinions is a little less than Mike's, and the things that really get me going are far different than they are for him. One of my biggest soapbox issues these days is that we should all make our own way. As long as we are working within the framework of the Bible and of what we believe God intends for us, then we need - both in our marriage and in our parenting - to determine what fits us and go with that.
So many people - mothers, especially, I find - are so swayed by whether this thing or that method is right or wrong. And I believe that we can't be happy if we are trying to fit our squishy, lumpy, jello-y selves into a hard, set mold that doesn't allow room for us to be who God created us to be. I wrote about that on Mother's Day a bit, and I read an article (taken from a book by Carla Barnhill) at Crosswalk today that makes the point so very well.
We each know our own and our family's needs best, and thus, we should know what methods will meet those needs in the most appropriate and rewarding way. I appreciate all those out there who, like in the above article, encourage women to trust their Lord to guide them and to trust their hearts enough to listen to Him without getting distracted by the din of the voices out there saying we all need to be this way or that way to be right.

I read this last week:
"You can ask people how much they'd be willing to pay in order to rescue 2,000 birds from an oil spill, or 200,000 birds from an oil spill. And they say the same amount (about $80) in both cases."
It's a phenomenon called 'Scope neglect', where the human brain can't emotionally grasp large quantities.
If you've done any reading on fundraising or attended any decent seminars you've certainly heard it preached: talk about the one rather than the many.
Fundraisers like to quote Stalin: "When one man dies it is a tragedy, when thousands die it's statistics." (Did he actually say that?)
The truth is any ask that involves more than a handful of people is confusing and diluted. Tens of thousands – hundreds of thousands – it's meaningless. If you talk about hundreds or thousands of people the brain will try to picture one of them in an attempt to grasp what you're talking about.
You can save time and effort by talking about the one. And your potential donors will respond.

Tomorrow we induct two new Pathfinders into the club, so I have been getting ready for that tonight. We used to do rehearsals on Friday evenings, but we found that rehearsals didn't make much difference in the long run. So now I just go over the program with the kids (and staff) 30 minutes before the program starts, and then we do it for real. It works out pretty well.
That does mean that the kids don't have much opportunity to memorize their lines, but that's OK. They never memorized them when they did have time, so it's not much of a loss. The ones who did memorize them still do in the 30 minutes they do get.
I always hand out slips of paper with their lines printed on them so they can get up and read them. And every year when they give them back to me, they are folded, torn, chewed, or otherwise mangled so that I have to make new ones again the following year. But this year I had Va laminate them for me. She also reprinted them and made them look very nice (so they would be worthy of lamination I guess). She's really amazing when it comes to stuff like that. I always turn to her when I need something printed up and nice looking. She made up our citrus order forms this week too, and they look great. Also, she turned my rough outline of the Induction ceremony into a program. No wonder I married her!
Tonight I ended up making several modifications to our Induction candle stand. Thing. During Induction, we end up lighting 25 candles, all of which are mounted on a stand that was built (not by me) for that purpose. Every year I promise myself that I will build a new one for next year, but that never happens. I did haul it home with me today though and addressed its major problems. First, it's not all that stable, having a tendency to want to tip over. That's not a great feature to have, especially in an object sporting 25 lit candles. The other fault I addressed is that the holes into which the candles are supposed to fit… don't fit.
For stability, I got a largish piece of plywood (about 48″x30″ I would guess) and mounted it to that with a couple of stove bolts and matching T-nuts. I also bought a table cloth for this, and it will go over the plywood, but not over the stand. That means I will have to cut some holes in the table cloth, but thems the breaks. I bought the table cloth for this very purpose, so that makes it OK.
For the holes not being sized right, I reamed them out a little. I also shaved some wax off the base of the ill-fitting candles. They fit better now, but not as well as I would have liked. Hopefully between the new base and the better holes, we won't set the church on fire tomorrow.
Speaking of fire, the landlord at work most definitely had one lit beneath his posterior yesterday. He was in there today measuring windows, so I know that my request was passed along. It will be nice to have a window that actually separates my office from the weather.

Joe Mueller is a police officer who would be first introduced into this episode as the cop who wrote up Nash Simpson, who would be later murdered for a ticket. He would be seen later on in Season 7. One VERY IMPORTANT episode that included him was the 22nd episode and season finale "Shattered" that showed he was part of a conspiracy to hide evidence in the murder of fifteen year old Wanda Johnson who was shot to death and her body being dumped in 1993. The commissioner, Patrick Doherty was also part of the conspiracy because his son was Wanda's killer, along with his then best friend. Have no idea why they weren't arrested or let go!!!! :(

This Online Seller is Ready to Rock n Roll in 2009
I can say that 2008 was quite an interesting year for me as an online retailer. Becoming an Amazon 3P seller was, of course, the biggest (and best) thing I did in 2008. From Thanksgiving to the end of the year, my revenue on Amazon for the one brand I was selling on Amazon exceeded my entire year's worth of sales on eBay for the same brand. And because my margin on Amazon was higher also, my gross profit from Amazon for the 30+ days at the end of the year far exceeded my eBay profits for that brand. And, now, looking forward I can say that our company's plans for 2009 look nothing like they have in years' past.
Here are a few things I am committed to doing in the 2009:
One: I am committed to play more Rock Band 2
Yes, that is right — more Rock Band 2. It is wonderfully addictive and fun. We gave our kids Rock Band 2 for Christmas and, since then, we have had several jam sessions that lasted until midnight. I had forgotten how much fun I was missing by working too many hours selling on eBay. In 2009 I am going to work less and play more.
Speaking of work, though… when I was making my purchasing decision to buy Rock Band 2, I noticed that all the stores had the same price for the game. Best Buy, Gamestop, Target and others all had the set priced at $189 with no retailer varying from that price. It brought to mind how the fixed retail price is a big topic of conversation among online retailers.
According to a Wall Street Journal article titled "Why Some Toys Don't Get Discounted – Manufacturers Set Minimums That Retailers Must Follow or Risk Getting Cut Off; Shopping Around for 'Rock Band 2', " some companies such as eBay and Costco oppose Minimum Pricing. (Click HERE for that WSJ article).
From a wholesaler's perspective I wrote an article titled "A Common Sense Approach to the Map Price Fixing Problem" (Clik HERE for that article) where I stated my opinion that if the manufacturer has rules, such as MAP programs, that a wholesaler does not like then the wholesaler should look for a different product to sell, from a manufacturer who has more acceptable terms. To me, it is really that simple. I want to have a good working relationship with my suppliers not an adversarial relationship.
With Rock Band 2 being a hot product, what retailer in their right mind would want to discount the product to lose margin and to potentially lose their access to the product? As a consumer, I didn't mind that the pricing was the same everywhere. Actually, it helped in my decision-making process because, without having to focus on price, I could more easily make the decision of where I was going to make my purchase based solely on the attributes of the retailers who were offering Rock Band 2.
Two: I am committed to working smarter not harder
Being committed to having more fun in 2009 (my number one goal) means that I have to make more money with the time that I spend working so that I make the same income but I do so in less time. I can do that in three ways – (1) by making my customers (you know, the ones who actually pay for their orders) more satisfied and thus I will experience more repeat sales, (2) by cutting out the service I give to "potential" buyers who end up not paying or "potential" buyers who want to negotiate prices and (3) by outsourcing where possible and cutting unnecessary expenses.
Outsourcing is definitely where I want to go in 2009. This is the year I will be giving the FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) service a try. I have one specific line of product that I plan on sending to Amazon to let them ship from Amazon warehouses. I have carefully chosen this specific line of product based on several factors and I have great hopes that both Amazon and my company will benefit from this new relationship. For me, this type of outsourcing is a new venture and I am excited about the possibility of making more money with less effort.
At the same time, I am creating new policies that will help me to cut down on the amount of effort I have been putting into my eBay business. In the last quarter of 2008, we stopped providing a response to potential eBay buyers who asked for a better deal on product prices or shipping. We simply blocked the potential buyer and moved on. The result has been significantly less time spent answering emails as well as an improvement in our DSR ratings.
In 2009, we are going to review everything we do on eBay to determine where we are spending too much time for the little return that we get and we are going to cut out the sales that take us too much effort to service. Last year, we began reducing the number of items on eBay that we offered for sale outside the U.S. because eBay makes selling international very difficult. For example, eBay sends an end-of-auction email to a buyer in Germany that also lists the shipping prices for U.S. shipping and Canada shipping which are significantly less than the shipping cost to Germany and the email is not clear at all that the shipping options and costs are unavailable to the German customer. Therefore, the eBay system is creating more work for me in having to explain why those shipping costs are not available to the customer in Germany and it is not unusual for the international customer to then ask us to cancel the order after they receive the end of auction email. In addition, the DSR ratings from international buyers are always lower because of the higher shipping costs and the customs duties many countries assess. Lower DSR ratings means higher eBay fees for us if we do not qualify for the discounts because of international buyers.
When we started offering more product to U.S. destinations only last year, our DSR ratings improved and the time we spent answering emails decreased significantly. The tradeoff, of course, was that sales decreased but the lost international sales were more than made up elsewhere in other venues. We only have so much time and we'd rather allocate our time to more profitable sales elsewhere. And, chasing down nonpaying bidders on eBay has become almost a full-time job that simply is not worth it. Instead of spending valuable time to chase down nonpaying eBay bidders …. spending time to increase customer satisfaction for paying customers, which leads to more repeat sales, is my third goal for 2009.
Three: I am committed to working more closely with my "partners" to increase customer satisfaction for my buyers
As an online retailer, I depend on so many others to help ensure that my business is successful. I need to have a good relationship with my suppliers and I am absolutely dependent on shipping carriers to deliver packages to my customers. I have a good relationship with all my suppliers and shipping partners but I am committed to strengthening those relationships in 2009.
The relationship I have with my suppliers is critical because I count on them to get the newest and best product to me quickly and in good condition. Through the years, I have learned things about the different manufacturers from whom I source product. Some manufacturers will ship the same day the order is placed, even during the height of the Christmas season, and their product always arrives in great shape with no picking errors while other manufacturers always run out of the best product before the end of November and any order placed through the holiday season takes a week or more to get shipped. I can't change how the manufacturers operate so I don't try; I simply plan my holiday selling strategies based on the characteristics of my manufacturers. And, this holiday season, my good relationship with one of my manufacturers in particular served me well.
There came a point when I simply couldn't fill the orders from Amazon that were coming in so rapidly and I turned to my supplier for help. For one week, my supplier worked with me to drop ship items for orders ranging from $200 – $500 each so that I could meet the unusual demand. Those were sales I otherwise would not have had. And the best part? My supplier charged me only an additional $5 per shipment, above the wholesale price, for the drop shipping service. Next year, I will be able to plan better for the high volume of Amazon sales so that I won't need my supplier to help me out by drop shipping for me. But it is the great relationships I have developed with my suppliers that helps us both to succeed.
The relationship with my shippers is just as critical to me. I have access to all major carriers like the post office, FedEx, and UPS and I have used them all in various capacities. I have a USPS truck that comes to our offices daily to pick up postal packages, including all international packages, and the postmaster himself has visited our offices to find out how they can better meet our needs. The driver who picks up our postal packages daily is one of the best people I have ever met. The US Post office gets the majority of my shipping business.
However, I generally ship larger heavier packages via FedEx service. This holiday season FedEx far exceeded my expectations while UPS was a major disappointment. UPS stated on their website and on their phone recording that they would be delivering UPS packages on Friday December 26th. However, they failed to inform shippers that ONLY ground packages that had a previous attempt for delivery would be delivered on December 26th. Ground packages scheduled for delivery for December 26th would, in fact, not be delivered until Monday the 29th. On the other hand, FedEx stated on their website that ground packages would not be delivered on December 26th so imagine my surprise when at least a dozen of the packages I sent were delivered that day. In addition, because of the bad weather across the country, FedEx even delivered some packages to recipients on Sunday December 28th. Personally, I also had one customer's order where FedEx had to make a total of 5 attempts to deliver and FedEx worked with me and the customer to get their order to them on Christmas Eve. To say that I was pleased with FedEx this holiday season is an understatement. You can bet that they will get more of my business in 2009.
One very valuable lesson I learned a long time ago is that it is very important to tell a business partner when they have done something to please you. Almost everybody speaks up when they are dissatisfied but few people take the time to say "Thank You" for a job well done. And because the praises and compliments are so few and far in between, they are the words that often make the biggest and most memorable impression.
So, now you know the top three commitments I am making in 2009. I must say that I am off to a good start in 2009 since I have been diligent about playing Rock Band 2 to a point where I "rock til I drop". It's just really hard keeping up with the Band's lead guitar player (my 10 year-old son) and the Band's drummer (my 9 year old daughter) but they count on the old folks (parents) for the Bass and the vocals so that the Band can play at various gigs in a number of different cities online.
Our family sat at the dinner table on New Year's talking about the upcoming year. I expressed my willingness to tackle the business issues in 2009 but confided in the family that I was not as confident that I could do my part to tour successfully with the band. Then the kids informed me about the "No Fail" option that is available on Rock Band 2 which means that I can never get booed off the stage no matter how badly I perform. WOW! What a concept. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a "No Fail" option in the business world? Some folks might say that the "Government Bailout" is one form of "No Fail" option for banks, the auto industry, and some other businesses but for the rest of us… I guess we'll have to muddle through 2009 without the "No Fail" option. I do believe 2009 is going to be a year of both great failure and great opportunity for online retailers. Personally, I am ready to put 2008 behind me and get the 2009 year started…. let's rock and roll!

Really enjoyed your blog post. Looking forward to also rocking and rolling in 2009. It will be a great year for challenges and rewards and I agree with many of the points you made especially working smarter and not just harder. Besides I got into this business because I think its fun and rewarding. I want more time to play as well (I haven't got Rock Band 2 yet!). Happy New Year!
As I rove around the blogs looking at all the ebay commentary, I'm getting disturbed by the lack of representation for person-to-person, individual selling.
Even etsy, the crown jewel of the internet, has no set way of keeping businesses out and only Little People in.
Ebay and the alt sites alike seem to want to professionalize the occasional seller right out of existence, dismissing them as hokey, 2nd-rate charlatans who foist junk off on others.
Early ebay shined as a place where a person could conveniently sell 1 of something. Just 1. Is it back to the dank, dark days of the Classified ad?
I'd like to hear your thoughts about the Occasional Seller and his place on the new, business-dominated Internet?
[…] News gets it this week, with a simple realisation – I had forgotten how much fun I was missing by working too many hours selling on eBay. In […]
Is it in my reading, Brews, or are posts like this much more fun to write than the typical eBay post 🙂 Really, you're "Rocking and Rolling" here, such a positive and informative message, you got me psyched up whereas some of the eBay posts get me down (of course, not putting the blame on you there!)
I too am psyched for '09. Lots of new projects promoting my niches are now become realities. I'm still shopping for my own self-hosted store, but as always, am confident that this next one is it (leaning Zen Cart though want to see the new Auctiva product before committing).
Question, are you finding Amazon outperforming eBay across the board for you, or just specifically for the product you refer to here? My regular goods, vintage collectibles, are not good Amazon performers, but I'll be keeping my eyes open in '09 for something that can be. I had a taste of the Amazon $$ in '08 and would love to find a way to regularly tap into it! For now though, '09 is still based around eBay, capitalizing on the continued growth of Bonanzle and that ever elusive new shopping cart I mentioned above!
PS: DMed you on twitter. I have something to submit.
Thanks, Cliff
An interesting year, that reminds me of the Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times."
I was very interested to read your plans and strategies for the New Year and hope you will have time to check out Bonanzle which could well be suited to be your new liquidation and outlet venue.
Best wishes for a profitable and more relaxed year to you and yours, I think you rock too.

AIDS Foundation cares about the Presbyterian church?
As you all know by now, the Presbyterian Church has again decided to ban all unmarried members in relationships, and gay singles from serving as elders or leaders unless already ordained. And the decision saddens the AIDS Foundationbecause that excludes gay people.
Yet members of the AIDS Foundation really have to grow up and be educated when they comment on the church.The Foundation maintains that the real threat to credibility in religious leadership is hypocrisy, intolerance, and the disgrace of sexual abuse and paedophilia. Dream on! They wouldnt know the first thing about church leadership.
As far as I am aware, no AIDS Foundation members are Christians, go to church, or have the slightest interest in religious matters, so they should just settle down, put the kettle on and have an nice cuppa tea with their GLBT mates. Then they should do their job trying to stop the spread of AIDS, rather than promoting homosexuality and commenting on things they are ignorant on.
Given that the AIDS Foundation thinks that the church does not consider gay people worthy of leadership simply "because of who they are", I`d like to know whether the Foundation would be happy to have a fundamentalist Church leader on their Board, or would they turn them down because of "who they are".

But here's why you need to share this column: Are you getting fed up with the blatant lies and distortions of the truth like I am? I am so sick and tired of the "blame Bush for everything" crowd! Henry gives us some background here and in a previous column that he wrote back in November 2008 regarding the unintended consequences of the Community Reinvestment Act. The financial collapse of 2008 came upon us because the housing market bubble that was created by the government's involvement had finally burst. Blaming Bush for the collapse is so far from the truth, and yet, apparently many people still believe the biggest lie ever told (by Democrats/Socialists/Marxists/Progressives). It's time that WE the PEOPLE set the record straight! Just sayin'... (and no, I'm not jellin' - I'm yellin'!!)
Democrats were WARNED of Financial crisis and did NOTHINGThe cure for the current economic condition is to get government out of the marketplace and out of the lives of individual citizens. Government's correct role in society is to assist – not hinder – free people in their pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Democrats and socialists believe that government's role is to create an egalitarian society by managing markets, redistributing wealth, and forcing people to live where and how government dictates.
We should never forget: "That government is best that governs least."

The Washington leadership never misses an opportunity to blame the eight years of Bush policies for the economic problems that have befallen the nation. CNN news touts a poll that says 53 percent of the people blame Republican policies for the mess. Both are wrong. Republicans certainly contributed over the years, but the cause of the economic problems must be laid squarely at the doorstep of the Democrats.
The root cause of the economic problem is government interference with the free market.
The root cause of the near-collapse that occurred in the last year of the Bush administration can be traced to the Democratic socialist idea that everyone has a right to adequate housing.
Before President Carter, private lenders in a free market often refused to fund mortgages in certain parts of cities where the neighborhoods were so bad that lenders considered the investment to be unsafe. Democrats and socialists called this practice "redlining." Carter and his Democratic colleagues enacted the Community Reinvestment Act, which effectively outlawed redlining.
Intimidation and extortion continued well into the Bush years. When Republicans tried to rein in the loose lending practices at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, their efforts were blocked (see video below) by Democrats, particularly by Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Charles Schumer.
Video provided by Sillberdachs
In their effort to meet the socialist goal of providing adequate housing to all people, whether qualified or not, Democratic interference with the free market caused an enormous artificial bubble in the housing market. This housing bubble produced secondary markets in derivatives (packages of government-guaranteed mortgages) and credit default swaps (insurance against default of derivatives). When unqualified borrowers began to default in staggering numbers, the government had to make good on the mortgages it guaranteed, and the insurance companies – like AIG – had to make good on the insurance policies they had issued.
In 2008, under the reign of George W. Bush, the Treasury Department suddenly realized that neither the mortgage companies nor the insurance companies could make good on their commitments and that unless the federal government came to the rescue, much of the financial marketplace would collapse.
Obama and his Democratic colleagues immediately blamed Bush and his policies, when it was the Democrats who bore the ultimate responsibility. Obama and his Democratic colleagues are still riding the "blame Bush" train and apparently are fooling the majority of Americans. The facts, however, may be misrepresented, but they cannot be altered. The same Democratic socialist philosophy that caused the economic meltdown is guiding the Obama administration as it constructs what it is calling a cure.
Obama's plans for the future offer no cure to the economic doldrums; they most assuredly promise even greater economic disaster.
His view and his every action so far reflect the socialist vision of government control and management of the market, and of every individual.
The cure for economic problems is freedom from government interference and management in the marketplace. Get government out of the way. The free market will find its way to profit and prosperity if government will simply get out of the way.
Democrats are quick to say that the absence of government regulation is what caused the economic meltdown. This diagnosis is incorrect, and the medicine they are prescribing will only worsen the malady.

Home » Etiquettes
Srila Prabhupada explained that the results of all devotional activities performed in the holy dhama are magnified a thousand times. Therefore, one can make rapid advancement if one lives offenselessly in the holy dhama. But if we commit offenses, the results of those offenses are also magnified one thousand times. Therefore, one is advised to carefully avoid committing any offense in the holy dhama.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has listed ten offenses against the holy dhama that we must carefully avoid in order to be fully benefitted from our visit to or residence in the holy dhama:
- To disrespect one's spiritual master who reveals the dhama to the disciple
- To think that the holy dhama is temporary.
- To commit violence towards any of the residents of the holy dhama or to any of the pilgrims who come there, or to think that they are ordinary people. Srila Prabhupada writes: "All the inhabitants of Vrindavana are Vaisnavas. They are all auspicious because somehow or other they always chant the holy name of Krishna" (C.C.Adi 5.232, purport).
- To perform mundane activities while living in the holy dhama.
- To utilize the dhama for personal economic development by commercializing deity worship and sankirtana in the holy dhama.
- To think that the holy dhama belongs to a mundane country or province, such as Bengal; to think that the Lord's dhama is equal to a place connected with some demigod, or to attempt to measure the area of the holy dhama.
- To commit sinful acts while residing in the holy dhama.
- To consider Vrindavana-dhama as different from Navadvipa-dhama.
- To blaspheme the sastras those assert the glorious position of the holy dhama.
- To be faithless and think that the glories of the dhama are imaginary.
Etiquette to be observed at Sri Mayapur Dhama (ALWAYS CHANT "HARE KRISHNA' AND ADDRESS EVERYONE AS 'HARE KRISHNA')
- Rickshaws
Always fix fare in advance. Never fight with the rickshaw driver especially in Nabadwip City. In case of dispute get help from a local devotee.
- Eating
Do not eat in the public street it may be dangerous to your health. Non-veg food, liquor, tobacco, etc is strictly prohibited at Sri Mayapur Dham.

Pilgrims are requested to keep their luggage in a suitcase or bag under lock and key. They can deposit their luggage at the Shoe Stand. They can collect their luggage after submitting the receipt or token after darsan of the Lord. Please leave your electronic Gadgets like Cell phones, Calculator, Camera and footwear etc... at the Shoe Stand before entering the temple. Do not carry your shoes in a bag into temple of the Lord. Photography is prohibited inside temple and in front of deity at ISKCON Mayapur. Inside Radha-Madhava temple from 9am to 10am photography is allowed with prior permission from security department. Don't rush in for Darsan but take your turn in the queue. Co-operate with security personnel and maintain vaisanava etiquette when you are having darsan of Lord Sri Hari. Keep Temple clean. Don't spit or commit nuisance. Drinking water and rest rooms are available outside of the temple hall.

|Old Rug Loom almost put together
for Kathy's friends & their friends and Kathy's family & their family
Larry got up early yesterday and worked on my big loom. As we got into it, we realized we were missing some of the bolts. These are old farm bolts that they don't make anymore. We are down to just finding two more to put the last piece on top that has the pullys. Bummer is he has moved around from place to place buckets of all sizes of these bolts. While fixing up his shop he decided to scrap them, as the machinery he works on doesn't use these any more. Isn't that just the way of it when you finally part with stuff down the line you always need it. I think that is why I have turned into a saver of all my "treasures" lol So when Larry finishes putting it together and squaring up the two looms and we find a perfect place in my room for them-I will clean and oil them up. We are still missing at least one box of weaving stuff and tools so may look for those this weekend. Not alot of snow last night, but the bulk of the snow is still coming. Good day for cookie baking and playing in my craft room.

I have terrible eyebags and dark circles due to genetics. Therefore, a good concealer is a must for me. I was supposed to buy Beige from NYX but because it was such a hassle and I had to wait, I just bought concealers from Revlon. Actually, what really persuaded me to buy from them is their buy one, get one free promo for the month of May. I've seen this product online and it was compared to YSL Touche de Eclat. Being cheap, I tried this to see if it really is a great product.
The product comes in a twist up packaging and a brush. Personally, I don't like this packaging. You can't return the product if you get too much, meaning there's a high possibility of you wasting the product. Another thing that I have to point out is the built in brush. I feel like this type of applicator is unhygienic. The bacteria that you may have picked up the other day may transfer when you apply your makeup today.
I got the 003 shade. I believe it is Medium and it has a yellow undertone (perfect for my Asian skin). There are limited shades within this range and the colors are only suitable to women who have fairer skin. At the counter, there were only two shades available. However, this may not be the same in other stores.
The formula is a creamy type of liquid. It isn't too watery or viscous, making it easy to blend. As you can see in the pictures, the blended concealer looks invisible already. The formula may look cakey and may settle into lines sometimes.

The concealer doesn't completely cover the "dark line". However, it does a great job in brightening the undereye area. I hope you can see the difference. In personal, you can really distinguish which side has the concealer on. I do find that this concealer has a gray cast.
(without flash)
(with flash)
The tube contains 1.18 mL. The product runs out too fast for me. It's almost 2/3 used up in only a month (I wear this concealer for 4-5 times a week)
Price: PHP 625 (but I got two of these at the price of one)
Rating: 3.75/5
Verdict: I actually like this product! It works for me wonderfully. If only it has more product in it and the price is much lower, I would consider repurchasing. For now, I will use these all up and find my HG concealer.

Thus, after fifty years of history, nothing more human exists on this land battered by the cold winds of winter or the hot breath of the winds of summer.
Alone, among the ruins of old pieces of walls, some lizards scoot about, sometimes encountering a viper warming itself in the sun. The birder is king, but there aren't many for there exists no longer a speck of water.
In returning to Nevers, passing Moiry, you see on the right a tombstone of rock terminating in a pyramid, just on the border of the road. This little monument was erected to remember that at this place was the cemetery. On the front one can read, "Aux Américans morts pour la France le Droit, la Liberté (1916-1918) (To the Americans who died for France, Right and Liberty)
Rare are those who stop a moment in memory of these allied soldiers who came from so far and who had made the sacrifice of their young lives for the freedom of France.
In Passing Remember Part 5
How Does One Commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary
In remembering some 2,000 soldiers having slept their last sleep 50 years ago ( now 90 years ago )in this corner of the Nivernaise earth, who will go to bring a simple bouquet of flowers? Will there be only a bouquet of flowers from the fields ( this one for the soldiers who died as heroes, at the foot of this stone monument, poorly maintained and totally abandoned)?
For sure, the bodies were disinterred and transported to Nevers shortly after the Armistice, but there is still something shocking. The egoism of me continue to manifest itself, some forget quickly, to quickly even, others never acknowledge that such a forgetfulness might happen to the grand day, especially those who had survived the tragedy of the second world war.
Friends, readers, this is a story of the camp called St Parize le Châtel, but in reality, called American Hospital of Mars-sur-Allier because of the railroad serving it leaving from this station. And while you are stopping before this monument think of these soldiers who died in the dawn of the life and think about it as the poet recalling to you these simple words, "In passing, remember...''
Editor's note: M. Wilrich was instrumental in getting the monument cleaned up initially. As written before it is now in good shape and has an honored spot in the cemetery in St Parize le Châtel. M. Wilrich bemoaned the fact that those who died here were forgotten but now the village remembers. My mother Rebecca Goethe DeVries forecast this in her article in La Montaagne in response to the above article in her wish that the monument be honored in the future on the American Memorial day. This happened Memorial Day weekend, 2001. My family and I put flowers on the monument in memory of the American soldiers who died there and in memory of my parents. I spoke at that event and now each Memorial Day M. Gianni Belli asks me to send a few words to be read at the ceremony of remembering. The village remembered with a grand celebration and exhibition on November 11, 2008.

In Passing, Remember (Continued) Some German Prisoners
Besides the American soldiers there were naturalized Americans, those Greeks, Italians, Spanish, even German, having emigrated to the United States, and volunteered for the duration of the war. There were also wounded German prisoners who lived in the enclosure of the camp and took part in the same life as their guards.
Toward the end of the war, there were many wounded arriving from the front. As the place was inadequate, the later arrivals were cared for in the trains which brought them.
As soon as the state of their health permitted it, the convalescents were authorized to go out and walk, to make a tour in the villages around.
For the local population it was a windfall to have a military camp so near, for the United States did not fail to furnish copiously their soldiers with foodstuffs, conserves, etc.
And when the camp was closed, when the soldiers were evacuated, there was a grand debauch of the American surplus, which finally gave back supplies to people deprived of things from the war.
However, during the activity of this military city, many of the people were employed there in the services of governing and administration.
In Passing, Remember (Continued) Always More Wounded
As bit by bit the number of wounded grew, it was necessary to build new barracks. The material, stone especially, was taken from the quarries located near Moiry. A good number of Portuguese, Spanish and Annamites were employed there. ( Note: Annamites were Vietnamese.)
In spite of the care given to the wounded, many died. It was then decided to build a cemetery, very rudimentary - similar to those of the front --. This cemetery was built at the south west side of the camp in a big field slightly inclining, terminating along the side of the national route 7.
In the course of the winter 1917-1918 many of the workers, Spanish and Annamites, employed in the different services of the camp, as well as the soldiers, of whom many were black, perished from the Spanish flu. The sanitary services were overflowing. The cemetery took on disturbing proportions.
In Passing, Remember (Continued)
Here and there, numerous ruins of old pieces of wall, of cement paving covered with moss, the remains of smokestacks, etc...
Of numerous black thorns, eaten away by lichens, growing more and more, covering up little by little that which were these buildings.
At the beginning of the existence of this camp, some soldiers of the American Corps of Engineers came first, with little equipment -- Little by little the organization developed. -- The land was divided into squares and then were built many barracks with walls of brick, setting on floors of cement, covered with boards which were protected with tar paper. Many roads crossed the camp permitting access to the barracks and to the secondary services.
According to eyewitnesses having known this little military city (more than 45,000 people at the end of 1918!) the hospital had many blocks. Each block had around 25 barracks, placed in two rows. facing each other. Between each row were the refectories, the kitchens, the bath rooms and the w.c., the surgical block and the infirmary.
There was also a big recreation room where resident soldiers ( actors or professional comedians), singers, etc. gave their performances to entertain the convalescents. Also, the hospital was composed of many secondary hospitals. At the entrance were the general quarters - with the services of administration and the supply depots of every sort.
Evidently, militarily speaking, each block had a number in order. From the numbers 1 to 50, the blocks were housing the American Red Cross - the numbers under 50 belonged to the American states.
For this era, things were very modern. Electricity was created there, running water functioned marvelously and, moreover, in an area so dry and without natural advantages, all was quickly taken care of.
With their enormous technology, with machines and materials, the American builders went to acquire a water supply at more than six kilometers away, in the Allier River, just opposite the church of Mars-sur-Allier.
Fishermen who frequent the banks of the river could see still the wells which were dug and which still exist. The pumping station is there. The water was brought by underground ducts up to the end of the plateau to supply the camp. It was kept in reserve in an enormous water tower ( chateau d'eau), still held up by nine pillars made from the quarry of Moiry. On the facade bordering the road one can see the American insignia ( insignia of the American Corps of Engineers) fixed in the masonry.
Mar-sur-Allier American Base Hospital, In Passing, Remember
"In passing.......remember''
Part 1
(I have translated the following article, written by M. Wilrich, a resident of Moiry, now deceased about the Mars-sur-Allier American Hospital which was published in La Montagne, a newspaper of the city of Nevers in France in 1968. The article, written in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Armistice of the Great War of 1914-1918, tells the story of the huge hospital built near Nevers in 1918. Nevers is 14 kilometers north of Moiry, the hamlet where my mother, Rebecca DeVries (born Goethe), grew up. My father was a medic stationed at this Mars-sur-Allier American Hospital which encompassed the village of Saint Parize le Châtel as well as the hamlet of Moiry. It was there that my father, Charles De Vries, met my mother, Rebecca Goethe, giving this whole story a special relevance. I have entered photos and notes to M.Wilrich's article.
It was already fifty years since our American allies, entered into the war against Germany in 1917, came to create a military hospital in the countryside between the Loire and the Allier Rivers - Parize le Châtel - exactly at the place called "Les Gaillères'' on the territory of the village of Saint-Parize-le Châtel - or more exactly, on the plateau of Saint Parize.
They chose this spot certainly because of the proximity to the National Route 7 and of the railroad line Paris-Nimes ( the line of the Bourbonnais from the time of the P.L.M. network.) -- permitting connections as rapid as possible with the front -- and also because of the great restful calm of our countryside then not at all busy as it is today.
Among all the people who come to the Motor-Stadium Jean-Behr, built some years ago on a part of the terrain there where existed, a half century ago, the American Hospital, few know its history.
Thanks to numerous memories collected from people having known or even worked as civilian workers, we can tell you its history.
When you come from Nevers, in the direction of Moulins-sur-Allier, having left the village of Magny-Cours on your right, you find, about one kilometer further, to the left a little road indicating the race track Jean-Behra and the Agricultural School.
(Note: this has changed since 1968. There is now the huge race track, Le Circuit de Magny Cours)
Straight and to the left of this road you see to the left some cultivated fields and to the right a large deserted expanse, wild, interspersed here and there with cultivation but where dominates in great abundance dense thickets of black thorns, of moss, of lichen and of wild grasses, scarcely a place to nourish sheep.
The part the most interesting of the placement of this military hospital is included in a vast triangle having for a base the route national 7 and the two sides delimited on the left side by the road Magny-Cours/Saint-Parize-le Châtel, and, from the other side, by the road Moiry/Saint Parize-le-Châtel. These two routes join at the west entrance of the last village at a place called, "La Croix'' - not very far from the town hall of this town, of which we have already spoken of its church and its crypt, the sparkling water fountains, etc., etc...
In walking in this vast triangle, one finds many vestiges recalling that in this place lived some years some allied soldiers from across the Atlantic.
The Feast of Saint Jean the Baptist
The Feast of Saint John the Baptist
This year my brother Robert is thirteen years old and it is time for him to earn his bread. On the 24th of June he is going to the traditional Feast of St. John the Baptist at St. Parize le Châtel, a near-by village. There the farmers who are looking for servants and the young people looking for work will assemble on the public place in the front of the church after the service of the Mass.
First, the Town Crier comes and beats his drum to obtain silence and give the order and the news of the day. After that, the farmers look for servants and the young people look for someone to hire them. Like a Street Fair, there are booths and a Merry-Go-Round and the people walk about and laugh a lot.
Robert is getting anxious for he is small and no one has hired him yet. He would like to be a horse driver, but my father thinks he is too young for that. He tells us that he would be better as an ox driver or a shepherd. After this he is hired almost at once by the manager of the Chateau de Villars as an ox driver. The farmer gives him a gold piece of ten francs, which is a gift and also a pledge that he will not accept any other offer.
After this is settled we relax and sit at an outdoor table. Our parents have some wine and as a special treat, we have each a chocolate éclair. Soon after, we walk back the three kilometers to our village, a bit
tired and silent.
I feel sad, for tomorrow Robert will be a man and will leave to take up his work at Villars. That is the end our good times together, our quarrels, our escapades. It is for both of us an "adieu'' to childhood.

Chateau de Villars where Robert worked as a bouvier
Locating Moiry/Saint Parize le Châtel in France
The Essential Thing - La Chose Principale
The Essential Thing
How many times in my childhood have I heard this short sentence, "Quelle est la chose principale?'' "What is the principle thing?'' "What is the essential thing?'' would probably be a better translation.
One cold winter night this short sentence took on a special meaning for me when my brother Robert appeared at our door carrying on his back a big bag containing all his possessions. He looked so sad, so that we knew at once that something was wrong. It was a week day and he only came on Sundays to bring his laundry and spend a few hours with the family.
Entering the house, he let his bag fall on the floor with such an air of discouragement and despair that this young boy of 13 looked suddenly old. He sat down and began to cry, but so hard that his whole body shook with sobs. Mama tried to comfort him. She, too, cried without knowing the cause of his distress.
At last, he calmed himself enough to say between sobs, "Je ne suis plus bouvier à Villars.'' "I no longer tend the cattle at the Villars farm.'' Here in this short sentence was so much despair that Mama did not say anything. She waited for the explanation of this great misfortune, for to lose one's job so suddenly in the middle of winter was bad. After calming down, Robert told us that since he started to work at the Chateau de Villars, the horseman at the farm had tormented him steadily.
It was one thing after another. Robert had never spoken of it hoping that this man would tire of teasing him. But Etienne, the horseman, had continued to make life difficult for Robert. His narrow bed under the stars was often full of thistles. His soup was often so full of pepper that he could not eat it. His tools disappeared or were broken. And worst of all, this very afternoon Robert had found his best aiguillon broken and thrown in a ditch. An aiguillon is a long sharp stick which is used to prod the oxen and encourage them to work. "Such a beautiful aiguillon, Mama! I have carved it myself and decorated it and put my name on it.'' This last insult had provoked this crisis and Robert had put his oxen in the stable, packed his bag and left.
It was time for supper and Robert, in spite of his sorrow, ate heartily the good potato and cabbage soup, the good bread and cheese, and even a glass of wine to give him courage.
Mama then asked Robert, "Did you feed your oxen before leaving?'' Robert was ashamed and blushed. "No, Mama, I wanted to leave right away.'' Mama said, "That is not good, for your animals count on you. They are your duty. Take your bag, my boy. We'll go with you up to the approach of the Chateau. As for this Etienne, you'll be in your right to speak to your boss. He is a just man and will know what to do.''
By this time, there was a full moon. It was very cold but it was pleasant to be outside and we were well wrapped in our warm coats as we walked through the sleeping village. I always liked this narrow road which ends at the Chateau. This road which was built by the Romans has large white pavement blocks and has endured all these centuries.
We do not speak and the only noise is that of our wooden shoes on the stony road and the regular barking of the farm dogs who seem to smell us. Arriving near the Chateau we stopped and Mama, putting her hand on Robert's shoulder, looked at him tenderly and said, "You see, Robert, in life the main thing is to do one's duty. True, there is injustice in the world, but when one does one's duty, there is no regret. Hurry, your oxen must be very hungry. The willows have many branches and you have a good knife to make another aiguillon. Kiss us good-bye and bring your laundry next Sunday and I will make you a good galette.'' Robert shifted his bag to his other shoulder and turned towards the farm.

Rebecca's Introduction to her Vignettes
Vignettes of Moiry
Ladies, Gentlemen and Dear Friends.
I hope for a few moments to transport you to the village of Moiry in the department of the Nièvre , France where I spent the first years of my youth. I will call these little stories, Vignettes of Moiry.
As an introduction to these vignettes, I present this beautiful passage taken from the book The Brothers Karamazov of Dostoyevsky:
You ought to know that there is nothing stronger or best for life than some good memories, especially those of childhood. People speak much of your education but some good memories sacred, preserved from childhood are perhaps the best education. If a man carries many such memories with him all of his life, he is safe until the end of his days and if someone has only one memory in his heart, even this memory can have the gift of saving him.

The dreaded pictures..
They're not so bad actually.. Daisy and i look quite grey in these pics.. since we are young pups, we are quite confused about that, but we think grey looks distinguised!
We look a bit funny in these pictures, thats mainly because mummy was stalking us taking millions of pictures, when we least expected and the flash gave us a fright!
Love Daisy and Weeny xx xx

Building Purpose Driven Churches the Jesus Way
I was talking with a group a pastors in Rwanda a few months back, and they asked me to tell them what it meant to be a purpose driven church in as simple a way as possible. I said to them that the simplest way I know how to express what it means to be purpose driven is "to build Jesus' church the way that Jesus wants it built." Jesus shows us how to build his church in both what he taught and what he modeled. Keep reading

Better Arguments
While I'm quite sure that we need to make a reasonable defense of the faith, I think we're misunderstanding the world in which we live. Here, allow me to illustrate. A while back I read a Facebook entry from a girl I know about how she was glad that the court had struck down the vote of California that enshrined traditional marriage in California law. I asked her what had changed her mind. Here was her reasoned response. "Well, I imagined how I would feel if someone told me I couldn't marry the one I love." Ah, yes, you see? Good logic. The arguments carefully considered. Well, no, not at all. The key here was "How would I feel?"
As it turns out, the world is a wiz at playing with your emotions. It does it by pulling at your desires rather than your brain. You know, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Sin rots the brain (Rom 1:28-32), and for reasons unknown we're thinking that by better use of the brain we can fix the problem.
We're not dealing with misguided thinking. We're dealing with deceived hearts (Jer 17:9) and blinded eyes (2 Cor 4:4). We're not trying to correct thinking; we're working with dead people (Eph 2:1). It is the mistake that many conservatives make. As an example, you can show how the Bible says that homosexual behavior is a sin and you can show how it is opposed to nature and you can show the negative ramifications and you can show how history has viewed it. A nice, well-built line of reasoning. But none of that matters because it's not about well-built reasoning. It's about how they feel and what they want. You know, lust and pride. Scripture and nature and science and history aside, it all makes sense, right? So they'll fall back on name-calling ("You're a hater" and "homophobic" and "anti-LGBT" and "bigoted") without responding to the reasoning or the evidence. It's not that we're not providing a logical defense. It's that logic doesn't matter. If they can paint you in a negative light and rally emotional support for their view, you're not only wrong, you're dangerous. "Don't bother me with facts; I know I'm right."
"Oh, Stan," you'll tell me, "you're just being an alarmist" or "a defeatist" or "You just don't have it right." Maybe. But I come to this conclusion because Scripture says, "We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." (Eph 6:12) So, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." (Eph 6:11) Because proper arguments, keen logic, evidence or evident reason are not going to solve this problem. Oh, sure, you need those. I'm all in favor of that. But you just need to keep in mind that while you're rallying the evidence and arguments, they're rallying the emotions against you. Count on it. You're fighting improper thinking and while you're actually battling sin nature. So be ready to give a defense (1 Peter 3:15) (with gentleness and reverence), but remember, like the demons the disciples faced, "This kind never comes out except by prayer and fasting." (Matt 17:21) A couple of extra tools in the toolbox never hurt.

for some reason i recall the story of Lazarus and the rich man.
9 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"
- Stan said...
Oh, sure, Bob, if you're going to go all biblical on me.
Ok, my bad..
hey i have an idea, instead of creating arguments to convince the lost, why dont we create tough questions for the disciples of Christ, you know to see if they too can hear Moses and the Prophets. ahh never mind. i spent a lovely day in the cemetery yesterday, i was giving a detailed discourse on the nature of Grace and Salvation, the people were quite receptive, not one critic among them. the silence spoke volumes.
all joking aside.
the concept of presenting a rational argument that is both clear and concise is absolutely important. but the fundamental difficulty is that Man in his natural state , is dead in sin.
i love the great apologist you mentioned, i love the way they present the Gospel in ways i can understand. and this is because the HOLY SPIRIT has given me life. now i have ears to hear and eyes to see. so i guess the presentation of the Gospel is a double edged sword. because for some it saves, and for others it condemns. but never the less we are admonished to study so we man have an answer, when men want to know why we believe.
- Stan said...
Bob, you should be careful. When you rely on Scripture (Luke 16:27-31) for things like the suggestion of being in the cemetery (Eph 2:1-3) or that the unsaved are blind (2 Cor 4:4) and unable to grasp spiritual things (1 Cor 2:14), you're being arrogant ... or biblical. I'm not sure which. Depends on who is critiquing you, I suppose.
yea my arrogance is only exceeded by my utter dependence upon the scriptures. to the world i am a narrow minded man. i can only see one way, that man may be saved. buy the Grace of God.
but hey what do i know, it's not like i started this thing. one day i was dead, then the next i was alive. right now i feel so "Kaplempted" so talk among yourselves, talk among yourselves.

Advertiser: Nike
Agency: Wieden & Kennedy, Amsterdam
Challenge: Launch the company's new soccer shoe while touting Nike's sponsorship of the Brazilian soccer team in an ad that is relevant in many countries.
The Ad: When their flight is delayed, members of the Brazilian soccer team remove a ball from their carry-on bag and proceed to pass and kick it through an airport terminal, dodging security guards and other travelers. The impromptu game moves outside to the runway, where players dodge a moving jet and helicopter before heading back into the terminal. Once inside, a Brazilian athlete attempts a goal by kicking the ball through posts. He misses. There is no dialogue or voice-over. Each athlete wears a T-shirt with a big Nike swoosh on it.
Comment: Though the mood of the ad is playful, it nonetheless conveys the defiance typical of Nike ads. The soccer players--heroes to young soccer fans in Latin countries--run from security guards and do dangerous things. That's unfortunate, because a good portion of Nike's potential customers are young people. Created for international markets, but airing in the U.S., the ad doesn't use the much-parodied slogan, "I can." $$
Ads are rated from $ to $$$$, based on tastefulness and probable effectiveness, with $$$$ being highest.
