Affinity credit cards are credit cards that donate money to a pre-specified person or organization based on how much you use the credit card. Usually for legal reasons the exact percentage of money donated through the use of an affinity credit card isn't disclosed, but this relatively new breed of credit card has been gaining popularity amongst many different groups of people.
But are they really practical? Let's take a look at the issue by analyzing two of the major groups of affinity cards and the user base they cater to.
Sports Team Affinity Cards
These are credit cards that are co-advertised by the bank offering them and the sports franchise they benefit. A portion of the money you spend using the credit card goes to support the franchise. This portion usually isn't specified, but most analysts believe it to be in the 3-9% range.
The credit card user doesn't get any direct benefit from using the credit card, but the reason that these cards are popular is that in general sports fans like the idea of knowing that they're doing something to directly support their franchise (especially fans that don't buy tickets or merchandise).
Educational Institution Affinity Cards
Most major universities in North America now have their own affinity credit card, which they allow representatives from the credit card company to sell to students directly on their campus. Once again these cards do not directly benefit the students that use them, but a lot of students seem to like using these credit cards.
It's a little more difficult to pin down the exact reason that this category of credit cards are popular, as most people would agree that students don't have the same regard on average for their university that sports fans do for their team. Nevertheless, these credit cards are also widely popular, and becoming more so with each successive generation of students that go through the university.
So what does this tell us? Well, for starters, it tells us that no affinity credit card, no matter how high the percentage, is practical in any sense of the word. The whole point of affinity credit cards is that they do not benefit the user directly, and instead benefit the company that has partnered with the credit card company to create the card. This can be a sports team, a school, a restaurant or any other organization.
Now there are credit cards that do directly benefit the user, such as a cash back credit card, or a card that offers bonuses through a specific organization, but these are not affinity cards – affinity cards are cards where the bonus that would normally go to the user is instead donated to the organization.
So should you use an affinity card? Well the answer, like so many other things, is maybe. If you're looking for a credit card that will directly benefit you in the near future, then you should stay far away from affinity credit cards.
If however you're looking for cards that have low to no annual fees, low interest rates and you like the idea of helping out your favorite sports team or other local organization, then an affinity credit card might be for you.

(Okay, so I'm smitten. I could do worse. <smile>)
Anyway, as far as the off-topic topic mentioned in the title, I just wanted to say that I thought this past night's lunar eclipse was just way, way cool. (Actually, it was #&%@! COLD outside, but that's another issue.) I've always been a bit of a science geek, and I even remember a night when I was maybe 4 years old when Mom woke me up near midnight and the two of us sat in the kitchen watching my first lunar eclipse through the window.
Well, this past evening's eclipse was extra-special; a full lunar eclipse coinciding with the Winter Solstice. I just had to see it -- so there I was, running out with the camera & tripod every few minutes, watching 'til I couldn't feel my fingers (or the camera's warm spot over the battery felt cold), then running back in to thaw fingers & camera before starting the process all over again. This started not too long after I got home from work around 1:30am and continued nonstop until 4:00am... It would've gone on longer (I wanted to get photos of the latter half of the eclipse), but by then I couldn't find a vantage point that didn't have trees between me & the moon.
Some of the photos didn't turn out too well (I've never used this camera on a tripod, or in extreme cold, or for long-duration photos before) and some of them are just plain weird-looking, but here's a quick sampling of the progression from 2:00am through 4:00am Eastern Time. (Sorry for the way the moon bounces around in the frame; I had to set up the tripod fresh each time I ran outside, plus I had to keep panning & tilting to follow the moon across the sky.)

On the 90th anniversary of Maestro Rostropovich
SLAVA: REMEMBERING DEAR FRIEND. The 90th anniversary of Maestro Rostropovich.
On March 27th, 2017, our dear friend Maestro Mstislav Rostropovich known to the world as 'the Cellist of the Century', according to impeccable music critic and writer Norman Lebrecht, would be 90.
Our thoughts went to that remarkable man: great musician, fantastic friend, unique personality. He was the embodiment of light, devotion, compassion and courage.
Slava was the Honorable Chairman of our first international charity, Arts Against Cancer ( AAC) that supported children cancer patients and their families worldwide. He was with us from the day of conceiving the organisation in 1989 and all the years of its intensive activities through early 2000s. AAC has preceded The Rogatchi Foundation.
Slava was the one of very rare people who did beat the concept of age completely; he was the embodiment of youth in all and every sense.
Thinking on him today, with warmth and unbounded gratitude we remember our dear friend with his unique heart, and are sharing some mementos of those memories with all of our friends and supporters:
- Slava with his Stradivari rushing to the stage of the biggest and best in Scandinavia and the one of the best in Europe Tampere-Hall back in 1991 when he did flew for the inaugurating concert along with English Chamber Orchestra; the entire profit from that great concert went to support our AAC project of buying a special apartment for the families whose children suffered from cancer and were due to a long treatment in the one of the best hospitals in Finland;
- Slava with Inna at the press-conference before the event.
- All 14 years of the AAC activities our logo was the same, created by Michael. It depicted Slava, his friend and hero, as the main character crowning our efforts to help those in utter and rather desperate need. All those years, every action of the AAC would it be charitable concert, exhibition, performance, auction, would be having our special poster, also created by Michael, with Slava there in a spotlight, being a beacon of hope for so many during all the years of his brilliant , and very far from easy one, life.
- Michael started to work on the portrait of Slava back in 2006, out of intuition; he just felt compelled without any special reason to his portrait. Very shortly after the start of the work, we have learned that Slava had contracted cancer which was really nasty one. Our friend fought very bravely, exemplary so. All the time of Slava's illness, Michael simply could not work on the portrait. It was just impossible thing to do for Michael, despite of his many attempt to return to the portrait.
It was not before a couple of years after Slava passed away ( almost ten years ago, in April 2007) when Michael was able to complete the portrait of our dear friend. Slava's wife, legendary singer Galina Vishnevskaya who was the centre of his life, is also depicted in the portrait.
The portrait called Slava. Portrait of Maestro Mstislav Rostropovich, was called for the famous art competition of the National Portrait Gallery in London, but Michael has declined the honour being unwilling to depart, even temporarily, with the portrait of his dear friend. This portrait is always near Michael, would it be in his study, or in his studio. "In this way, I am still talking with Slava" - Michael says.
[ Excerpt from Inna Rogatchi's Human Connection (C). Twelve Portraits forthcoming book; and Niggun on Canvas. The Life and Art of Michael Rogatchi (C) forthcoming film].
In 2012, five years after our dear friend's passing away, Inna Rogatchi and The Rogatchi Foundation has donated a special collection of Inna's fine art photography art works, Melody Thread series depicting rare original old musical instrument, to the Academic Philharmonic of St Petersburg. The donation has been made in memory of Slava Rostropovich, to commemorate the place where he did play for the first time in 1988 after his return from the exile from Russia.

I get a kick out of that. First time I saw that name used in relation to Keanu's new flick, Constantine, was in this article here.
While I know they can screw this film up royally, and we'll never know until Feb. 18th, I have to say that I am eagerly anticipating this adaptation of the DC Comics character. Possibly moreso than any other comic-related film of the last couple of years if what I've seen in the trailers, and the stills, and the interviews (which I've been following pretty closely) are any sort of basis for judgement on the film.
Loyal fans of the series predictably howled in consternation at the defiling of Constantine's origins. And there were other challenges. First-time director Francis Lawrence was music video guy until he came on board for Constantine.. Even Reeves had reservations about bringing in an acolyte of MTV.
I know a lot of people are complaining about the changes, but it sounds to me like they have come up with a nice riff on the character and his world. Granted, I am also am one of the few people I know who actually does enjoy watching Keanu (ever since seeing The Matrix back in '99) so I'm likely to be more forgiving since I'm rarely fazed by the 'wooden' acting of Mr. Reeves.
Anyways, it's a 10 day countdown from today, so you'll probably be hearing more about Our John in that time until I can get an actual review of the film up. It's anybody's guess which way it'll go but I'm crossing my fingers.

I have my resolution. Most of my family and friends are geographically distant. I'm not good about keeping in touch.
I hearby resolve to kee in better touch this year by communicating in ways that make me look cool.
It can be cool stationairy, cool technology, whatever, as long as it makes me seem cool.

How to Undermount a Drop-In Kitchen Sink Part 2 How to Undermount a Drop-In Kitchen Sink Part 2
Once you have the hole cut for your drop-in kitchen sink, you are going to need mounts for the underpinning brackets and possibly new holes for the faucet, if it is not an all in one unit. A drop in sink can be a fun project and in the end, allow for added features that did not exist before in the old sink if you are remodeling, such as adding a water sprayer, or even a garbage disposal. Once the sink is in place it needs to be secured on the underside to keep it from moving with brackets, which need to hook into secondary mounts. The method varies depending on if you are doing a granite counter top or a wooden one.
Step 1 - Cut out the Faucet Hole
Once you have the counter in place and have cut the hole for your drop-in kitchen sink, you will then want to make an opening in the counter for the faucet hardware. Be sure that you take exact measurements from where the edge of the mounted sink will sit to where the faucet will be locked into place, to ensure that it runs into sink when it is turned on.
Another important factor is the measurement across the length of the sink at dead center, so that the faucet arm will reach each end of the sink evenly. Once you have the hole cut, there is not much to do to turn back where the unit will be mounted. Use a drill with a bore to set 2 side holes based on the requirements of the faucet itself, you may have to use a jig saw to cut out any excess wood that may obstruct it from being installed.
Step 2 - Set up your Mounting Blocks
The underside of your drop-in kitchen sink will be held into place with mounting brackets. There are many types of these on older units, however, in this day and age they have become and industry standard. Granite counter tops should be cut and have the mounts put into place at the fabricator and not on site to avoid cracking the counter during installation.
With wooden counters, you would gauge where your mounts are going to sit and then use your glue and clamps to hold them in place until they dry. In many cases it is easier to remove the entire counter top and glue the mounts while it is upside down. In other cases you would simply glue the mounting blocks into place and then screw the hardware into those which then pin your sink into place.
Step 3 - Attach the Mounting Brackets
Once you have the mounts in place for your drop-in kitchen sink, you will then want to install the bracket hardware. This screws into the actual blocks in some cases, and in others it is simply this hardware that does all the work and the wooden mounting blocks are not needed. It all depends on the make and model of your under mount sink.

Mensagem de Vera Sanada
Tudo indica que está correndo tudo bem a bordo. Os ventos estão favoráveis e a pesca também. Eles tem pego muito peixe, o que é muito bom, assim tem alimento fresco todo dia.
Chegou outra mensagem do Phoenicia, agora escrito pelo capitão Philip.
Bons ventos para esses navegadores que, quem sabe, estarão reescrevendo a história.
e do Captain Philip Beale
10th November 2009
Blog 10 from Captain Philip Beale
The weather seems to know just how to frustrate us. Just as we were reaching the edge of the high risk zone to the east of the Somali basin, the wind changes to the north west and pushes us further east! Still we should not complain, the silver lining is we are heading south east at over 5 knots and enjoying some magnificent sailing with a good force 6 wind.
The sail is hoisted high into the sky with brailing lines pulled aft as depicted in one of the 6th century BC Greek vases at the British Museum that we used to inform some aspects of the sail and rigging. Phoenicia makes a tremendous sight as she surfs over the rolling waves that are hitting our starboard quarter. The wind strength has just increased further and the waves are now some 5 meters high with crisp white horses heads forming on their crests.We have just reduced the main sail area by hauling in on the brailing lines, a primitive but effective form of reefing the sails that the Phoenicians invented. So far it seems to be doing the job pretty well and keeping our sppeed to a manageable 5 knots rather than the encroaching 6-7 we were experiencing prior to reefing the sail.
The other piece of very good news here is that overnight Sulhan caught a very large two foot long tuna, following a lull in our fishing fortunes. So you know what we are eating today- fish and rice for the lunch today followed by fish cakes for dinner. The only issue is how many bonus points towards the competition we should award Sulhan for his spectacular catch!

We Have Officially Entered Crazy Season
You see, our Presidential Election is held over the course of 11 months. The first bit is the "primary season", where the Republicans and Democrats winnow down the field to a champion each. Much like ancient Rome, the champion emerges battered and bruised and bloody.
But they we take a few months off, to raise the real money for the election. The "Election" season starts (in earnest) around the end of August when the conventions play out. The convention is when the nominee is 'official'. "But Scott," I hear you ask, reasonably, "don't we already know the nominees."
Yes. But not legally. And once they are "legally" nominated, they can spend their election money. Right now they can only spend their primary money. Sure, the Citizen's United case makes this nearly moot, but not completely. (Citizen's United was the Supreme Court saying that corporations have a right to free speech and can spend all the money the want, on any election they want - as long as they don't coordinate with the campaign. So old campaign director's went and now run these independent groups. And if you believe they don't coordinate, I have some Greek Euro Bonds to sell you.)
So, now we are in that time when the best campaign strategy is free news coverage. Hence Obama's 2 minute ads about Bain Capital - and Romney's 2 minute SciFi Doomsday ads about what happens if the darkie gets into office again.
As for Bain Capital - it seems only President Obama has been able to articulate the thrust of this. Which is, Mitt Romney did a very good job at Bain, in creating wealth for his shareholders. But his job was not to add value to society as a whole. And so the job at Bain is very different form the job of President.
So, why hit Bain Capital? Because Mitt Romney is running on only that. He isn't running on his record as Massachusetts Governor - because he introduced Universal Health Care, Gays could get married in the state and he governed as a moderate. He isn't running on his record as Salt Lake City Olympic savior because it was all about Public Funds - plus the whole Mormon thing. He isn't running on his church devotion, because he's a Mormon and won't talk about it. He only talks about his success as a business man - so that is what you can argue with.
From Mitt's point of view (and Republican's everywhere) success depends on painting the current economic condition as horrible. They are campaigning on the reverse of "Morning in America" - kind of like "Night of the Living Dead of America". That is because, outside of the economy, President Obama has done fine. He lowered taxes for the middle class (yep - really), withdrew (as negotiated by President Bush) from Iraq, followed the General's advice on Afghanistan and killed Osama Bin Laden. But the economy is still sputtering. And the Republicans in Congress are guaranteeing it still sputters (whether through stupidity or maliciousness is not entirely clear).
And so, silly season drags on. But I choose to ignore most of it right now. I'll go nuts later :-).

Below is praise from a dear friend, enjoy.
One of the reasons I got into the hobby was to have some new experiences and recently I decided to try a fetish session. After looking at a few of the dominas here I decided to have Ruby guide me through this new experience and I could not have been more pleased by the result.
Scheduling and directions to her dungeon were clear and easy to follow which is always nice when dealing with the maze that Seattle can be. After the initial greetings we sat and chatted for a bit and this being my first time I was a bit nervous but decided I would follow wherever she led in the session to the best of my ability. What followed was an amazingly and surprisingly sensual experience that seemed to cause time to stop and provided me with a few new experiences that I won't soon forget.
After I was untied we sat and chatted for a little bit more and I got ready to leave. During our conversation it came up that my shoulder had been bothering me for a bit and despite our session essentially being over she had me sit back down and massaged the area. This was an especially nice touch and was totally unexpected but did wonders and helped loosen it up quite a bit.

I haven't gone out of my head. I watch Christmas movies all year long. I chose this film because it snowed this morning. A lot. It's still freezing outside. The last time I checked, it was still raining white. It looks like we're headed for another White Halloween in the Upper Peninsula. That's not unusual. Last year, we got a full-on storm on All Hallow's Eve. Several inches.
Since my daughter was born, there has been exactly one Halloween that was warm and beautiful. The rest have been Bing Crosby holidays.
Saint Marty's pretty sure Bing is going to be caroling in the Great Pumpkin this year.

Humility and Exaltation (continued)
Brother, have we not here the reason that our consecration and our faith have availed so little in the pursuit of holiness? It was by self and its strength that the work was done under the name of faith; it was for self and its happiness that God was called in; it was, unconsciously, but still truly, in self and its holiness that the soul rejoiced. We never knew that humility, absolute, abiding, Christ-like humility and self-effacement, pervading and marking our whole life with God and man, was the most essential element of the life of the holiness we sought for.
It is only in the possession of God that I lose myself. As it is in the height and breadeth and glory of the sunshine that the littleness of the mote playing in its beams is seen, even so humility is the taking our place in God's presence to be nothing but a mote dwelling in the sunlight of His love.
"How great is God! how small am I!
Lost, swallowed up in Love's immensity!
God only there, not I."
May God teach us to believe that to be humble, to be nothing in His presence, is the highest attainment, and the fullest blessing, of the Christian life. He speaks to us: "I dwell in the high and holy place, and with Him that is of a contrite and humble spirit." Be this our portion!
"Oh, to be emptier, lowlier,
Mean, unnoticed, and unknown,
And to God a vessel holier,
Filled with Christ, and Christ alone!"
~Andrew Murray~

Carotid artery disease
Reducing stroke risk
Your doctor has listened to the side of your neck with a stethoscope in the past. You never knew why, but now you do. Your doctor reports hearing a whooshing noise — something called a bruit (bru-ee) — that raises concern that the main (carotid) artery supplying blood to your brain may be clogging up. This can increase your risk of a stroke, which occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients.
Clogging of one or both carotid arteries (carotid artery stenosis) is the cause of about 8 to 15 percent of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke.

I love me some good food. I really don't care what kind it is as long as it is fresh, tasty and yummy. So this past week a friend of mine and I went to the Ranch House BBQ. All I have to say about that place is OMG!!
OK, I will say a bit more about it. I will try to get my facts right but I might get some wrong it is not deliberate it is just because it is midnight and I need coffee.
First some history of the place. The Ranch House is run, owned by Amy Anderson and partner Melanie Tapia who has won several awards for their BBQ and has also been on the Food Network. They have competed under the name Mad Momma & the Kids, the awards include national, state, and they have even gone on to the World Championship in Ireland in 2000.
They opened the restaurant in 2004 about 10 miles or so out side of Olympia heading down HW8. Then in December 2007 disaster struck. The restaurant was taken out by a mudslide, still just inside Thurston County the ladies were not on the FEMA list for help, and the sites insurance did not cover "land movement". Many people were ready to say good by to the restaurant.
Just days after the disaster the Governor Hotel in downtown Olympia gave lease free the use of their empty restaurant space, and a fund was set up at a local bank to help with the rebuilding.
Feb, 2009 they were able to reopen on the original location, and the place is going strong. What does this have to do with food?
When I ate there I had the brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw with vinegar and a side of beans. I could have licked the bean pot clean if they had let me back in the kitchen and beans are not my favorite. Also H and I split a platter of garlic cheese fries my mouth is watering just thinking of them. I was the only one who was not listening to how full I was and ordered a slice of home made BOURBON PECAN PIE. I died and went to BBQ heaven. I will be going back there are a lot more items to try.
If I were a food critic this restaurant would get 200 stars out of a possible 10. So anyone who is heading up this way wants a good place to eat and does not mind a short drive Ranch House BBQ is the way to go.

This 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler has gone through numerous changes and upgrades, all to develop and test an abundance of Trail Master Suspension, Performance Accessories and OR-Fab products in extreme off-road situations. In its current condition, the Project JK has a variety of components that make it unstoppable on the trail, yet very comfortable and easy to handle.
One of the most notable upgrades to the Jeep, is the Trail Master prototype Long-Arm Suspension. This suspension kit is not yet released, but it provides superior axle control with smooth articulation and operation under the most extreme conditions. It's been designed to give the JK traction with a quiet ride, while lifting the vehicle about five inches. The prototype Long-Arm Suspension also uses Trail Master's Flex-Joints, that provide smoother operation and longer life over standard Heim-joints or urethane bushings. The suspension is still undergoing further testing before it will be released but while its in the JK, it was paired up with a set of Fox reservoir shocks that also help keep the ride smooth when the JK is crawling over large obstacles or making a road-trip on the highway.
The prototype Long-Arm suspension supports front and rear Currie Rock Jock 60 axles. These axles feature a high-pinion assembly that's used to provide the maximum ground clearance possible in a JK. Inside the housings are a pair of 35-spline axles that are attached to ARB air-lockers and Spyntech free-spinning hubs that turn a set of 5:38 gears. With the added ride height, the Project JK easily fits a set of BFGoodrich 38x13.5x17 inch M/T KM2 tires under Bushwacker fender flares. The tires are mounted to a set of Raceline 17x8-inch beadlock wheels and to make it easy to turn and get precise control over the large tires, a PSC ram-assist steering system is used.
Under the hood, the JK's 3.8 liter V6 is augmented with a RIPP Supercharger system that provides nearly 100 extra horsepower to help power the JK up steep inclines and over large rocks with a touch of the throttle. An MBRP Stainless steel exhaust system also ensures that there's plenty of flow to maintain the engine's performance levels.
While the JK's engine and suspension performance keep it steady enough to avoid getting any "trail rash" the OR-Fab products that were designed for the Jeep JK offer an added measure of insurance. These include Jeep JK Rock Slider bars, Body Armor and the popular Stinger front bumper made from 3/16-inch steel plate, and features a 45-degree front hoop made from .120 wall steel tubing. A Warn PowerPlant winch also adds some insurance to get the JK out of any situation and to aid other Jeeps that may need a helping hand on the trial.
The rear of the Project JK is protected with OR-Fab's rear Steel Plate bumper that's also made from 3/16-inch steel plate and features two, reinforced D-ring mounts. On top of it, OR-Fab's Spare Tire Carrier secures the 38-inch diameter spare tire without any vibration problems, due to the carriers unique inner fender reinforcement structure.
To date, Project JK has been through the toughest trails in Moab, Utah, the Rubicon Trail, Big Bear, California and others. It's also been displayed at a variety of shows across the country, including Jeep Jamboree's, Jeep Beach in Daytona, Florida and many others. Expect to see the Jeep at a variety of future shows this year, including the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. For more information on any of the JK's Trail Master, Performance Accessories or OR-Fab products, visit www.p-a-g.net.

PAG's Project Jeep JK has been turned into an extreme
rock crawling vehicle with an abundance of Trail Master,
OR-Fab, Performance Accessories and other aftermarket
The Project JK began by outfitting it with OR-Fab bumpers and
removing the factory axles.
The JK now uses a set of front and rear Currie Rock Jock 60
axles, outfitted with ARB air-lockers Spyntec hubs and a
PSC ram-assist steering system.
Fox reservoir shocks are also used to smooth out the ride and
an MBRP stainless steel exhaust system allows the engine to
breathe freely.
The Trail Master Long-Arm suspenison is still in the prototype
stage, but it will be released soon. It's designed to provide smooth
operation during articulation and limit axle movement to ensure
maximum traction with five-inches of lift.
A variety of OR-Fab products were also developed on the JK.
These include the Body Armor, Rock Slider Rails, Bumpers and
Spare Tire Carrier.

Boiling in oil used to be something you did to your enemies. You should note that products and their ingredients are subject to change.
While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use.
All I did was respond to a question posed to me by Timothy Gilkes. Most of the time I was miserable, but only mildly so – it wasn't a Dickensian-style misery.
One of my earliest childhood memories is of my older brother holding my finger in the gas fire.
I also vividly remember falling through the floor, but that must be a false memory, because however rotten the floorboards may have been, one of my parents would surely have fallen through before a small child did. In spite of these early traumas, or imagined traumas, my childhood was uneventful.
I was the second of five sons of an orthopedic surgeon and a pathologist turned home-maker.
For most of my childhood we lived in West Dulwich, an upscale district of South London.

(Wow. That's what people say when I tell them that my nephew Sarthak's birthday is on December 31. For me, you are the 'WOW BOY.' )
It is difficult to be an Indian kid and have only one name. Even when you live in Atlanta. In your school, they call you Sarthak. Your aai (grandmother) used to call you Babu. Your mom, dad call you Sarthu. Simrita, your loving elder sister dramatically calls you 'Brother.' For me, you are Gogol (named after the famous Russian writer Nicolai Gogol). Sometimes, we also call you – 'The thinking boy,' 'The little Buddha.'
It's December 31, 2016. You will turn 9 today. I still remember the day when I received a call from your mom telling me that you have arrived. You and I live in two different time zones. It was evening and I was in my office doing the pages for the next day's newspaper. Suddenly, I felt as if I were in the clouds. Deliciously happy and joyful. Aah, the pleasure of having a nephew.
This is the first time you are celebrating your birthday in India. Here I am sitting on the balcony of the house which my parents and your grandparents lovingly built and writing this. In this house, we have a generation of memories (of your grandparents) tucked away in every nook and corner. And having you on your birthday in India makes me realize that we all are creating beautiful memories for the years ahead.
With your American accent, you now say, "I love India and want to move here." You even talk about doing home-schooling in India. In you, I see the magic called life. You take my breath away with your questions, sharp observations and your love for the wonderful world of trees, flowers, sea shells, fish and cats. I wonder how seamlessly and beautifully you blend into the natural world. When your mother screamed after accidentally touching the tail of an overweight cat beneath the dining table, you non-chalantly said, "Mama screamed like a little gal and it was just a cat." When we put fish in a water container, you said, "Look, look.. that fish is going crazy." You wanted a fish expert to come and rescue the female fish(es) so that they can have babies.
I am impressed by your knowledge. From the sparkling world of gemstones like ruby, topaz, sapphire to dinosaurs, you add so much to my knowledge. Talking to you, I realize I have so much to learn and unlearn too. Seeing me sipping my morning drink, you started talk about coffee beans, grinding of beans to make coffee powder. All that I can do is to look at you in amazement.
We talked about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. You told me about Donald Trump's talks about building a wall. You vehemently said 'NO' when I asked you 'Do you like Donald Trump?' You said Hillary if elected would have been America's first female President.
There are times when I see you lost in deep thoughts. You fit in so beautifully to the names we have for you –'Thinking boy,' 'Little Buddha'.
I am amazed at how you turn away from anything that is excess. On a restaurant table full of dishes like rice, hariyali dal, mutton rezala, panner kalia, diwani handi, chilli mushroom, green peas masala, I saw you happily savoring just butter nan, little spoons of rice and a tiny piece of chicken tikka (which came as a starter.) The overflowing table with dish after dish just didn't excite you. To see you so happily enjoying that frugal meal felt so joyous. When we went to buy new clothes for you, you tried just one kurta and after that you were least bothered about how many were we buying for you. I marvel at your sense of minimalism. How far are you from this world of excess? The world of excess which we adults are all mindlessly creating and feeling proud of. There's so much to learn from you. You reaffirm my faith that less is more. In you, I see a hope for this amazing universe.
You are an American citizen and many in this world would give up everything they have to flaunt that passport (more from Gujarat where I live). But in you, I see this ancient land called India. I know, the world is changing. India is changing too. Very drastically. There are intimate moments when I feel you are as beautiful, kind, compassionate as our fascinating, layered land called India.
When I gave you the bag of kurtas in the shop and told you, 'This is your birthday gift', you told me, 'No, no I have seen this. There's no surprise. You have to surprise me."
I wish you health, knowledge, love for nature and people from all walks of life. And may life always spring up happy surprises for you.
I will wait for the day when you will grow up and read this blog and realize you have been a real wonderful and precious gift to all of us.
We love you deeply. Happy Birthday, Sarthak.

the dumb cunt was so much more tolerable with a big black cock shoved in her mouth.
"you fat piece of shit, put that ugly body of yours to good use….
"you fat piece of shit, put that ugly body of yours to good use. that's right, use your nipple on my clit. ungh, you're getting me so wet. my fucking god you're disgusting. don't even think about putting my pussy in your mouth. you don't get to suck my pussy. keep using that fat piggy tit of yours. keep going until I cum. don't you dare stop."
my bully was so mean to me… she didn't even let up was I was getting her to cum with my titty.
when i got done cumming all over her face, i pushed her off of…
when i got done cumming all over her face, i pushed her off of me and started to get my clothes back on.
"Does this mean that we're best friend's now?", she said with big happy smile.
"No you fucking cunt eating, dyke", I said to her, the smile fading on her dumb fucking face.
"Clean your fucking face up slut", i tossed her a towel and walked out of her house.
my boyfriend really hated my bitch bully too, so when I asked…
my boyfriend really hated my bitch bully too, so when I asked him to fuck her for me he was hesitant.
after i explained that I'd be there, he finally agreed.
when the day came to settle it, she made me strip down and perform oral sex on the both of them to get them ready.
"now lay on your back, you dumb fucking cunt", she said with a sneer when they both were aroused from my foreplay.
i laid down and she straddled me, leaving her pussy just a few inches away from my face. "I want to make sure you have a good view of your boyfriend fucking my tight little pussy", she said
my boyfried looked down at me, "are you sure?" he said nervously. Without answering i craned my neck and took his balls in my mouth. He slid into her.
"oh my god you're so fucking tight", he said as he began to to fuck her. With my mouth still working his balls, i couldn't help but wonder if he liked her pussy more than mine.
"you hear that, you dumb little bitch. your boyfriend is going to start fucking me all the time 'cause my pussy is better than yours", she said with a laugh.
He couldn't stop moaning. It normally took him almost an hour to finish with me, but here he is about to finish only after a few minutes.
"if your boyfriend cums this quick it isn't over yet. you're gunna have to get him hard again for me. my pussy is too good for him, he must be used to your sloppy twat, and forgot how good a tight pussy felt."
With that he came inside of her. He pulled his cock out, and his cum dribbled onto my chin and neck.
"get to work, bitch, we aren't even close to over", she said grabbing my head and forcing me to start sucking him.
I could taste her pussy on his cock. I've never felt so worthless in my life.
my step mother forced my sister and I to call her mom. When it…
my step mother forced my sister and I to call her mom. When it was time to teach us about the "birds and the bees" she had a very hands on approach.
she thought that the best way for a brother and sister to learn about sex would be to practice on one another, under her tutelage.
this time she did all of the foreplay on my sister and I until we were ready to for our lesson. she had my sister climb on top of me and bounce up and down on my hard cock.
The whole time our step mom was asking me how my sister's pussy felt. I could hear my sister's moans and gasps become more panicked as our step mother made tiny circles around my sister's asshole with her fingers.
"awww, that's it you two. Cum for your mommy. make mommy proud."
when i came inside of my sister, my step mother would make sure to clean us both up.
I'd feel so ashamed about what I did to my sister, but what would you do in that situation?
it was the perfect punishment. both boy's will probably not…
it was the perfect punishment. both boy's will probably not really be sure if what happened was a dream or not. It will just be something that they'll never mention out of embarrassment.
There is no doubt that this punishment will always be in the back of their minds and will have much more long lasting effects than grounding could ever achieve.
And anyway, since they turned 18; if they don't want to get humiliated like this, they should really be considering moving out.
my girlfriend agreed earlier in the day to suck my bully's cock…
my girlfriend agreed earlier in the day to suck my bully's cock and let him fuck her ass, as long as he'd leave me alone.
he agreed, as long as I was in the room to watch.
When she dropped to her knees and took his cock in her mouth, she couldn't believe the girth and length of it. she didn't even know boys cocks could get that big.
As soon as she realized that soon that cock would be pushing it's way up her ass… a look of panic came across her face. I could tell she was scared.
Her and I knew that the next hour was going to be horrific for her. For now he kept fucking her throat, making sure his cock was as big and hard as it could possibly get for her ass.

Here is a response to the question: "I totally get lost in all the noise at times, do I I need to retreat into my own space more and more?"
It will become easier and easier with time to sense and relax into your awareness. It can indeed be done from within all of the noise, as the noise is based on the mind and the 5 linear human senses. Awareness is beyond that, beyond words, and beyond the mind. It is basically you, your Consciousness, your Point of Presence.
Being Aware of your Presence, "I Am Here". Being aware of your Body, of the noise that surrounds you, the crowds, the traffic, the working environment...etc. Being aware of everything, without being afraid of losing yourself within this type of 'chaos', as your awareness is still, in the middle of all this.
Once you have felt into the Essence of this, once you have integrated it, it will never leave you, you will no longer need the words or the mental / intellectual understanding of it, as you will have integrated the Essence, the Feeling. It will only take one breath of awareness to remember it whenever you go through your day.
Ultimately, you will no longer try to quiet your mind as you will see that it is almost impossible to stop the mind from chattering. It will come as a Silent and Sweet Awareness, which is still and relaxed beyond all the noise from the chattering of the mind, and the mesmerizing graphic of human reality.
You too get the chance of having your questions answered by sending them to the following email address: email@example.com
Ultimately, you realize that none of what you desire will be granted by anything or anyone within this screen of time/space reality, it is already given to you, by you. All it takes is a simple awareness that it is so, and relaxation into it.
And yes, we get distracted by our every day routines, human life, by the mesmerizing graphic of this reality, yet when we stop to simply breathe in the awareness, of the "I Exist", "I Am that I Am", "I Know that I Know"~ in other words, Knowingness, and the Passion of the Soul for its own Existence... it sets a totally different dynamic in how you go through your day, and what comes to you during this day.
Quantum Teachings ~ A Path in Assuming your Beingness, in a Realm of Ease, Grace, Fulfillment, Simplicity, Passion and Mastery ~
I have decided to give away Quantum Counseling Sessions (50 min) for free / or on donation (the link to reserve your spot is at the bottom of this text presentation).
The intention behind Quantum Teachings, is to assist you in realizing with how much ease and grace you can shift the direction the energies are going, by placing your awareness into a different potential reality, or in other words, radiate the light of your consciousness in a different direction. It is here to provide Clarity and Wisdom in how we create everything through our Perception and Beliefs.
Those Teachings are based on Consciousness & Energy, and are designed to help you Transform your Life into a constant River of Ease and Simplicity. In other words, Quantum Teachings is a Platform of Support for Creators and Life Designers~ assuming your Beingness in a Realm of Ease, Grace, Fulfillment, Simplicity, Passion and Mastery.
In the way we would apply this, would be to radiate your consciousness into the reality of your absolute health, passion, joy of being, fulfillment... Or so to say, relaxing your awareness into it, which is supposed to help in allowing your body to relax, by releasing the tensions, worries and anxieties.
Not only consciousness is an important element in creating the reality of your desire, but it is also the first step before relaxing your body, allowing the old energies to release themselves with ease, and finally bringing in the new energies you created in the first place, by placing your awareness into the reality you desired.
It doesn't require anything more than your relaxation. As you allow this to naturally unfold, you simply need to place your awareness into it, relax, and let it happen "on-the-fly".
The intention of the sessions is to:
- provide you the full Quantum Handbook with several examples of "awarenesses" you can place your consciousness and relax into, so you may know how to apply this in whatever way you desire for yourself - provide you with a personalized assistance about how to apply it for yourself in the most genuine ways
- and finally, ending with the session of questions and answers so to release the last remnants of confusion and help you have absolute clarity on how to apply all of this.
The sessions are temporarily provided for free, in exchange for a review on the Quantum Teachings FB Page, as well as inviting as many of your friends as possible to like the page, or sending a donation if you felt that this was helpful and worth a donation.
To book a session, you will need to fill a form and answer several questions about the struggles you are going through, and how would would desire your life to be. My job with it, will be to begin the session with an introduction including the insights that I feel are the most appropriate for you, and will help you the most.
So to recapitulate, here is how we proceed:
- You fill the form (the questions + choosing a date/time for your session) - I send you a PDF copy the Quantum Handbook (to finish reading before the session)
- I prepare the introduction with the most appropriate insights for you
- We begin with the session and the introduction at the time scheduled
- We can continue with Questions & Answers
- I send you the whole PDF transcript including the introduction + our conversation
[DISCLAIMER] Please note that every session occur in a 1-on-1 text conversation, as it allows me to take time and feel into the questions in order to articulate the responses with the best clarity. Therefore, this service cannot be provided via phone nor audio calls.
If you require more informations / have any questions, do not hesitate to send me an email to the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at (631)-886-6707.

Video: "You Are The Divine Architect of Your Life By Emmanuel Dagher"
Words such as Life, Peace and Joy would all be written with capital letters to give them stronger emphasis. It became clear that these words represented Qualities of Consciousness.
The capitalized words acted as Spiritual Principles that carried a deep, resonant frequency. When I played with these words in my meditations, they had the power to change my consciousness.
Archangel Gabriel suggested that I sit in the consciousness of an empowered word like a bath of Divine Light. This became a focal point for my meditations.
I was coached to imagine immersing myself in Peace or Joy for a few minutes. I was told, "Let the Light frequencies in one of these words fill every fiber of your being and flow into your heart. After you feel this energy strongly in your heart, let the Light fall through your base chakra to anchor into the earth."
When I followed these instructions, I was surprised by my illuminated ability to sense the Divine Intelligence inherent in the qualities of Light these words represented.
As the energy frequencies on the planet have increased, so has the power of certain words to change our vibrations and affect our lives through their magnetic resonance. Each of these powerful words acts as a Spiritual Principle that we can bring into our lives. It is our focus of attention that helps to attract these qualities into our energy fields, where they can empower us to new ways of being.
When I meditated with these words, I could feel that my energy would be uplifted by their power. It felt like these capitalized words were acting as living frequencies of Light that became available to me in a new way.
I could make these words into my intentions for the day or direct them into different areas of my life, and I would feel the impact that focus would have.
Archangel Gabriel has stated that there is a clear requirement for us to anchor these higher energy frequencies on the Earth so the consciousness of all people can be uplifted.
When we sit in the field of Divine Light frequencies carried in certain words of power, we create a bridge from Heaven to Earth. As simple as it seems, this exercise has the capacity to create beautiful change on the planet as well as in our own lives.
Sometimes these words of empowerment would come in groups of three with the same first letter. When this happens, I feel a bit of Angelic play afoot.
Once when I was nervous about a trip to visit family, the words I received for my intentions were Harmony, Happiness and Humor. Keeping these key words and the magnetic energy that filled them in the forefront of my attention changed the trip in a wonderful way and resulted in a very positive outcome.
Creating new life begins with our intentions for what we want to experience. We have a choice, moment to moment, where we place our attention. These choices open us to amazing support from the Universal beings that believe in our Soul Purpose and are committed to our expanding consciousness.
This level of alignment to Source energy assists our ability to be more conscious in life. As we immerse ourselves in the power of living words of Light, we allow the Divine Presence to work within us, inspiring the heart-centered action we need to fulfill our Soul's Destiny on Earth.
Divine Presence,
Thank you for helping me to open into new expansive awareness of the fields of Living Light available to humanity right now. I ask to be more clear about what I need to do to feel fulfilled, happy and more successful in every area of my life.
As I center myself in the holy words of this empowered language of Divine Light, I ask that I be a clear channel to anchor these frequencies on the Earth in more grace-filled ways.
As I stay in alignment with the living fields of Light now available, may I and all of humanity become more aware of the depth of spiritual connection available to all of us at this time.
May all be empowered by the pure potential and Grace being offered for our awakening consciousness on the Earth. Thank you God and so it is.
Shanta Gabriel
AA Gabriel:
Dear Ones,
This is a universe of free will. The Angels will not step in to assist without being asked. "Ask and you shall receive" was the statement of master Jesus. So it is important to ask for this support in all the choices you make in your life, from moment to moment.
When you make a choice to think in a positive, instead of negative way; when you make a choice to accept, rather than judge, the decisions made by another; when you agree to give instead of waiting to receive; all these choices are examples of opening your heart and mind to receiving your highest good.
When you choose the highest good for all, you signal the available energy in the universe to come to your aid. Miracles will occur naturally all around you, by your willingness to receive them.
People will suddenly begin to give to you in a different way. Synchronous events will transpire in ways you never thought possible. This is the natural flow of God's grace available to all who are willing to work in harmony with Divine Energy and have the forces of the universe align behind them.
There is a Universal Flow of energy awaiting your command. You live in the pure potential of All That Is, a River of All Creation. When you are aligned with what you want to create, and open to receive, that powerful river of creative energy will flow in the direction of your intentions. It is the natural order of life, yet it will feel like a miracle.
These results also come from willingness on your part to have your life be good, and to allow others to love and support you. It has to do with knowing what you want and asking for it directly, as well as having faith to know that there is a greater order and good available to all who believe.
So accept that what is occurring around you in your life is a reflection of what is occurring within you. Begin to make small choices to experience love instead of fear, to forgive the person who has wronged you, even when the action seems unforgivable, to give thanks for what you have instead of complaining about what you don't have, and to believe that miracles can occur in your life, when you are willing to receive them.
These shifts in attitude bring a return of greater Love, Joy and Fulfillment in your life. It all begins with you and with your sincere willingness to allow the Angels and the Universal Presence to come to your assistance.
Remember your message from Archangel Gabriel for today:
Shanta Gabriel for Archangel Gabriel
February 11, 2018
The Archangel Transmissions: Opening to Our Soul's Light class series that recently started has opened portals into realms of deep immersion with the Archangels represented in the chakra system. The qualities of consciousness within the chakras are demonstrated through powerful transmissions of energy from each of the Archangels.
We began our class series at the crown, where Archangel Metatron inspires us to become ever more connected to the Wisdom, Divine Intelligence and Love available to us. This beautiful meditation is the result of that journey.
When you listen, not only will you feel a more personal connection to Archangel Metatron that you can bring into your daily life, you are also creating a sacred space within your heart where you can go to be nourished and deeply aligned with your Soul. When these connections happen, your life is uplifted.
"I just want you to know that this AA Metatron meditation is the Finest, the most Beautiful, words cannot describe the feelings I get when listening to it. The energy feels like it has accelerated enormously. Your normal speaking voice is always so beautiful, pleasant and lovely to listen to but the energy is just so exquisite."
The Temple of the Heart meditation is available here.
I invite you to join our small group of amazing people for a journey of deep inspiration from the Archangels to bridge Heaven and Earth. It's not too late! You will find more information here.
Blessings to you,

Channeled Through Natalie Glasson
Loving blessings extend from my being as I come forth emitting the inner most vibrations of clarity of my being. Clarity is the truth of the Creator in action. Each soul can access and has the ability to deliver forth the clarity of the Creator. Each soul can embody the clarity of the Creator because it is the essence of your being, there is simply a need to understand and connect with this sacred energy that describes the truth of the Creator.
When you access the Creator's clarity within your being, you become the truth of the Creator in action.
Clarity is seeing, sensing and acknowledging an inspirational pathway which brings forth enlightenment and illumination that encourages you to feel you can easily take the most appropriate action that is required.
The presence of clarity is soothing, cleansing and activating to your physical body and energy bodies, thus dissolving blockages and stagnant energy that may be hindering you in any way. Clarity awakens your entire being, refreshes your systems and allows you to realise the truth within your being. You begin to explore all that you are, recognise the guidance flowing through your being and access the courage to take the necessary steps to be love and the divine in action.
Clarity = Enlightenment
Enlightenment is, in fact, your connection to your inner frequencies of clarity.
Many people believe that once they access enlightenment, then they will experience clarity, therefore understanding the guidance, wisdom and love of the Creator and delivering it forth. In truth enlightenment dawns when you access and embody your inner clarity. A pure and simple intention of awakening and embodying your inner clarity would allow you to feel enlightened.
'I now connect with the core of my inner clarity, drawing the clarity of the Creator into the depths of my entire being.
I choose to experience a continuous link with my inner clarity, enjoying these sacred frequencies pulsating throughout my being.
May my inner clarity influence my entire being in magical, beautiful and healing ways. As I access and become familiar with my inner clarity, so I am the truth of the Creator in action, being divinely inspired and guided.
It is through the sacred vibrations of clarity that I experience all that I imagine enlightenment to be and more. It is with clarity that I act and react as the divine upon the Earth. Thank you.'
Many souls seek clarity, wishing to understand their presence on the Earth, their purpose and meaning and yet many remain unclear, confused and distracted. When you access your inner clarity, you allow yourself to access the core of your being and the vibration that is all knowing. You bring the truth of your core to the surface to interact within your reality while becoming very centred and grounded in your truth; who you are.
Video: "Channeling - The Abundance of Your Inner Clarity By Master Sananda"
Perceiving Your World
You may feel that the way you interact with and perceive your world is inbuilt within you as who you are. This is false, for within you are a variety of levels of interaction and perception that you could embody. The way you see, sense and acknowledge the world you live in could dramatically change if you were willing and ready to allow it to.
Many souls upon the Earth are perceiving from the surface of their being; this means drawing from information they have received from the outer world since birth. You have the ability to perceive, create and interact from the core of clarity, meaning from a space within you which is grounded, centred, understands you in your entirety, and is also a transmission of the Creator.
Imagine viewing the world around you from your core inner space of clarity; there would be a deep sense of simplicity and transparency. Everything would be open and available to you, flowing with beauty.
It is this inner core of clarity which is breathtakingly grounded and centred, that I, Master Sananda, wish to encourage you to connect into. It is this focus that will heal, enlighten and bring forth remembrance.
When being taught this valuable lesson as a child in my lifetime as Master Jesus, I realised that when I was connected to my inner clarity, I felt safe, an inner strength and warmth, a sense of my own power and capabilities, inspired to be of service and a deep acceptance of myself.
This was for me the experience of my inner clarity and how it manifested within my being. I discovered that if I focused on the warm powerful glow of energy within my being, and let myself melt into its ever-expanding energy - I would link with my inner clarity and feel it pulsating and flowing throughout my being with such truth.
Take time to allow yourself to imagine, sense or acknowledge how the presence of your inner clarity feels within your being when you focus upon connecting. Realise that clarity isn't an outcome, rather it is an energy within your essence, that is so sacred. Clarity is an embodiment and a centering within your being which promotes experiences of divine action and simplicity.
When you seek clarity, you only enhance your focus upon the vagueness, clutter, chaos and confusion that you may be experiencing within your being and reality. You are focusing upon your lack and your disconnection with the core of your being.
When you realise that clarity is already present within your being and simply requires you to focus upon its presence, breathing it into your being and reality, you embody clarity and focus upon the abundance of your being instead.
If you are experiencing vagueness, clutter, chaos and confusion, then you are focused on the lack of clarity and it would be appropriate to ground more fully into your inner clarity.
Exercise to Ground into the Abundance of Your Inner Clarity
As you take the focus of your mind inwards, allow yourself to imagine a seed that is charged with energy, so much so it is as if it is on fire. It is creating such a glow, warmth and a powerful presence within you. The fire may be any colour. The seed represents the core of your being.
Invite the seed to activate its inner clarity and for this energy to overflow into the area around the seed. Feel, sense or acknowledge the beauty of your inner clarity. Recognise how it instantly lovingly impacts your being.
Your inner clarity allows the seed to be planted deep within your being, melting into the energy and source which created the seed and the core of your being. It is as if your core as the seed is returning to its creator, joining as one. You could imagine the creator as a tree or the essence of everything, whatever feels appropriate to you.
Within your core and the source of your core is an abundance of clarity, a frequency which can be described as a colour, sound, vibration and sensation. Allow yourself to feel, sense or acknowledge the abundance of clarity, let your self bathe in clarity as you filter this sacred energy into your entire being and reality. Observe any shifts or transformations which take place within your being, observe the divine in action flowing through you.
Hold this focus for some time, until you feel that you are becoming familiar with the energy in whichever way is appropriate for you.
The more you focus on your inner clarity the more you will notice your true and natural embodiment of the clarity and how it positivity transforms your perception of your world. You will notice a new sensation of observing from the truth within rather than observing from the surface of your being. It is this experience that will allow you to feel as if you are accessing enlightenment.
Know that you are a being of clarity and your world is a place of clarity, this was intended by the Creator.
Allow me to guide you in recognising your self as a master of clarity,

"About the Use of the Violet Flame"
I have to tell you that when you as a conscious disciple manage the Violet Flame, a parallel activity of the Violet Flame is initiated internally. This results in the vibrational awakening of your chakras. Therefore, each time when you use the gift of the Violet Flame you are asked not only to focalize your attention on what you want to transmute but also on the internal activity which takes place within yourself.
One of the consequences of the continual use of the Violet Flame is the accelerated awakening of all your chakras, you will, step by step, wake up in a different world from where you live now.
This is the space for you to ORGANISE your personal connexion group, to look for likeminded people, to introduce yourSELF and say what you would like to contribute to the every expanding NET OF LIGHT around the world.
You have received clear guidance on a project,type of meditation, course of action to take? You are WELCOME to share here so we can start DREAMING and thus CREATING together!

Mordicai Gerstein at Fractured Fables
Mordicai Gerstein, Caldecott Medal-winning author, artist and filmmaker, comes to Bank Street Bookstore to read his latest outstanding children's books.
Mordicai will appear as a special guest author at the Fractured Fables puppet show on Sunday, September 15, to share How To Bicycle to the Moon to Plant Sunflowers: A Simple but Brilliant Plan in 24 Easy Steps, and The First Drawing.
|Have you ever wondered how to start a moon garden? You'll need a bicycle, a very long garden hose, a borrowed spacesuit and a very large slingshot. In How To Bicycle to the Moon to Plant Sunflowers: A Simple but Brilliant Plan in 24 Easy Steps, kids ages 6-8 will be treated to whimsical step-by-step instructions, illustrated with comic-style panels that cover every detail of the trip from planning to homecoming.
Who drew the first picture? In Mordicai Gerstein's The First Drawing, the primeval artist is… well, you! Children ages 3-6 are invited to imagine themselves transported back in time, where if you want to amaze your caveman family with your artistic communication skills, it's a simple matter of grabbing a burnt stick. Voilá- it's a piece of cake!
In addition to reading his latest books, Mordicai has promised to sing-- perhaps in a puppet duet-- the Cream of Wheat jingle from radio's legendary Let's Pretend fairytale show!

Lines Drawn for Best Musicial Tony Award
May. 16, 2006
NEW YORK (AP) _ It's shaping up as a battle between ``The Drowsy Chaperone,'' a frothy celebration of a faux 1920s musical, and ``Jersey Boys,'' showcasing the story and pop sounds of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
``Chaperone'' received 13 Tony nominations Tuesday _ more than any other show _ while ``Jersey Boys'' grabbed eight nods in what has been a busy Broadway season. They were the two best-reviewed musicals of the season, with ``Chaperone'' already winning the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and ``Jersey Boys'' the Outer Critics Circle prize.
But also showing surprising Tony strength was ``The Color Purple,'' the Oprah Winfrey-produced musical based on Alice Walker's novel about a determined woman's triumph over adversity. It placed second with 11 nominations.
All three will compete in the best musical category along with ``The Wedding Singer,'' based on the 1998 Adam Sandler film.
``The History Boys,'' Alan Bennett's London success about a group of boisterous students trying to get into Oxford or Cambridge, dominated the play categories, receiving seven nominations including one for best play.
Although ``The History Boys'' is an ensemble piece, Richard Griffiths, who portrays a beloved teacher, was nominated for best actor. He already has won the Olivier Award in London for his performance.
``It's incredibly gratifying,'' Griffiths said Tuesday. ``And I am very surprised and delighted. I'm pushing 60 myself, so having to jump about is very hard work.''
The play's competition for the top drama prize will be ``The Lieutenant of Inishmore,'' Martin McDonagh's comic splatterfest about a crazed Irish terrorist; ``Shining City,'' Conor McPherson's ghost story set in present-day Dublin; and ``Rabbit Hole,'' David Lindsay-Abaire's look at a suburban couple attempting to deal with the death of their young son.
Going up against Griffiths will be Ralph Fiennes who plays the title character in Brian Friel's ``Faith Healer''; Oliver Platt, the haunted husband in ``Shining City''; David Wilmot, a crazed terrorist in ``The Lieutenant of Inishmore'' and Zeljko Ivanek, an intense naval officer in ``The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,'' which closes Sunday after a two-week run.
In one oddity, all the women nominated for best actress starred in plays that already have closed: Cynthia Nixon, the distraught mother in ``Rabbit Hole''; Judy Kaye, a tone-deaf diva in ``Souvenir''; Lisa Kron, an embattled daughter in ``Well,'' and two performers from the revival of W. Somerset Maugham's ``The Constant Wife,'' Kate Burton and Lynn Redgrave.
It was Redgrave's niece, Natasha Richardson who announced her aunt's nomination Tuesday at Lincoln Center and who called her mother in London, Vanessa Redgrave, who relayed the news to sister Lynn.
Said Lynn Redgrave, who was about to take a nap: ``What a wonderful thing to dream on!''
One actress who is still starring on Broadway (through June 18) is Julia Roberts, but she was passed over for a nomination in ``Three Days of Rain,'' as were her two co-stars, Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper. The revival of Richard Greenberg's drama only received two design nominations.
Also pretty much ignored by the Tony nominators were Disney's ``Tarzan,'' which could manage only one nomination (for lighting design) and ``Lestat,'' Elton John's take on the Anne Rice vampire novels, which snagged just two (for costumes featured actress Carolee Carmello).
Harry Connick Jr. was luckier. He received an actor-musical nod for his work in the revival of ``The Pajama Game,'' which got nine bids.
Connick will be up against Michael Cerveris, the bloody barber in ``Sweeney Todd''; John Lloyd Young, who portrays crooner Frankie Valli in ``Jersey Boys''; Bob Martin, the co-author and narrator-star of ``The Drowsy Chaperone''; and Stephen Lynch, the lovesick hero of ``The Wedding Singer.''
``I'm just floored,'' said Young. ``My voice teacher said something that just resonated with me: `Tens of thousands of people come to New York to become actors. Thousands get paid to act. Hundreds get on Broadway. Dozens play leads. And only five get nominated for a Tony.' I'm thinking of that today because so many levels ago I already won.''
Kelli O'Hara, Connick's co-star in ``The Pajama Game,'' received a nomination for actress-musical, as did Broadway veteran Patti LuPone, the industrious pie-maker in ``Sweeney Todd.'' Also nominated in the category: LaChanze, the beleaguered heroine of ``The Color Purple''; Sutton Foster for ``The Drowsy Chaperone''; and the legendary Chita Rivera for playing herself in ``Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life.''
The 13 nominations for ``The Drowsy Chaperone'' included two for Martin, as star and co-author of the show. In it, he plays a nameless fellow in love with an old musical _ which then comes to life.
``I think my character _ Man in Chair _ is recognizable to audiences,'' Martin said. ``We all have a desire to be transported by musical theater. I have been incredibly lucky to always have been a writer and an actor. And the theater is one of the only places where I could be both.''
The special regional theater Tony will go to the Intiman Theatre in Seattle, while director-producer Harold Prince will receive a special lifetime achievement award.
Who takes home the awards will be settled June 11 at Radio City Music Hall, where the winners will be announced in a three-hour telecast, beginning 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.

Should People With F-1/J-1 Ending in Future Years Seek H-1 B Now? By Roger Algase
by, 03-03-2015 at 09:34 AM (2882 Views)
With the April 1 deadline to enter this year's cap subject H-1B casino and start the roulette wheel spinning, some people who are beginning F-1 OPT practical training or a J-1 intern/training program which will not expire until next year, or who will be eligible for 17-month STEM OPT extensions, may be thinking of taking a pass on applying for this year's H-1B random selection H-1B lottery.
From one perspective, this could seem to be a wise decision. For H-1B beneficiaries without US master degrees, the odds of being picked in the H-1B lottery last year came out to be almost exactly 2 to 1 against, based on the total number of petitions that came in. With the economy widely considered to be even stronger this year, the odds may be even worse.
(Of course, US master degree holders are in a better position because of the additional 20,000 visas set aside for them. I have not yet seen any statistics on how many of last year's total number of cap-subject petitions were in this category, so I cannot estimate the odds of being picked for this favored group.)
So, purely from a gambler's point of view, it might not be a good bet to enter the H-1B lottery free-for all this year, but better to wait until next year instead when the F-1 OPT or J-1 status will be closer to running out. (I am not factoring in J-1 visa holders who are subject to the 2-year foreign residence requirement into this calculation.)
However, is this really the best strategy? True, there is always the hope that by next year, Congress will have fixed the H-1B visa shortage problem. But this hope has been with us for the past dozen or so years, and so far Congress has not acted.
Is a Congress that is so far under the sway of right wing extremists who are against all immigration that it has not even been able (as of the time of this writing - there are reports that it may finally do so shortly) agree to fund the DHS in a time of some of the most vicious, sophisticated and best organized terror threats that the world has ever known likely to take any action on H-1B by next year?
Hope springs eternal, but reality has a way of intruding, especially when in comes to the H-1B cap. Would it not make more sense to join in the H-1B lottery and throw the dice as many times as one can in order to give oneself at least two chances, rather than only one, of being favored by Lady Luck?
What might seem like a wise strategy of passing up the H-1 casino this year might not look as sensible from the point of hindsight next year, when one's OPT or J-1 training/intern status is closer to running out and one is down to a single do-or-die chance to be picked for H-1B which could determine the entire course of the person's future in the US (or whether the person will have a future in this country at all).
Just a thought worth considering as we get closer to April 1. Is it really a good strategy to let this chance go by?
Roger Algase is a New York lawyer and a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School who has been practicing employment-based and family-based immigration law for more than 30 years. His practice is focused on H-1B and O-1 work visas, J-1 training visas and green cards through labor certification (PERM), extraordinary ability (EB-1) and opposite sex or same sex marriage, among other immigration and citizenship cases. His email address is firstname.lastname@example.com

This weekend, I skipped Formula D Las Vegas to compete in 1st 626 Drift competition. I had never been to a 626 event so I was curious how it operated with other events I've attended. Let's just say their methods are on the unorthodox side. It was a fun event but a tad on the confusing side.
The V8 freaks out in force.

What's one of the most scary word in English language? Aside from those which ultimately ends your life or those physically painful, bankruptcy is it. I have no personal experience about this, but I have heard enough from friends who went through it that it's not much fun. It's as scary as everything being taken away, except for your IRS payment. I don't think there's discount in taxes. It's scary to be without money, or to have no option of obtaining one. There's work, but sometimes, those are not enough to make ends meet.
Most every one has debts, but not every one has a secret weapon to avoid bankruptcy. Some have huge amounts of debts, all their future salary is tied up to paying that debt. I don't think I'd like that. Some have manageable debts they can pay back in a year or two. Whatever the debt site, it doesn't hurt to find out more about debts and how to get rid of it.
Debt Management Plans is a tool, or a weapon, depending on how you want to look at it. Go here and there's a chance you can qualify for IVA, which stands for Individual Voluntary Arrangement. Some debts have been known to get reduced to 70%. Just imagine, if you are starting to feel soffocated by your debts, this could be your chance to get out of it in a year or two.
