There were so many people offering so many paths that one had to really think deeply before selecting the path to travel.
Let me share some of my experiences:
When I asked the question, if I am God, the One that created everything, how could the material world that I created somehow become greater than me causing me to forget who I was?
The answers that I received would fill volumes of mumbo jumbo all leading to "follow me and pay me and I can help you remember".
Then I encountered the "All is one" philosophy. No beginning, no end, no differentiation.
One evening we're coming back in a van from a spiritual gathering and I'm sitting next to an all-is-one-er rambling on and on. The guy was holding a papaya and I asked him if I could see it. He gave it to me. I then told him that I definitely believed his philosophy and told him that since it's "all one" I would eat his papaya and he could eat my shoe. He couldn't get out of the van fast enough, with his papaya of course.
A couple of days later while I'm working at a little vegetarian restaurant in Lahaina, an Asian guy in white robes with long black hair and a long black beard walks into the gazebo. I ask him who he is and he tells me he's God.
So I ask him if I could come outside to see him better and he says, "yes my son". So, standing next to him I ask him if he's the one that created the heavens and earth and there's nothing that he cannot do? And again he says, "yes my son".
So being the jerk that I was back then I punched him in the nose. As he sat on the ground with his nose bleeding I told him that being God he should be able to do a really simple thing like stopping the bleeding. He created a dust storm as he left and we never saw him again.
Then I encountered the Buddhists. They were mellow and easy going but preaching that they and I did not exist. My question was simple: if I do not exist who are you speaking to? No reply and gone in a flash.
So, still searching, I somehow wind up somewhere where a man is speaking about, what I considered more acceptable ideas and I was all ears.
He said that humility, pridelessness, nonviolence, tolerance, simplicity, approaching a bona fide spiritual master, cleanliness, steadiness and self-control, renunciation of the objects of sense gratification, absence of false ego, the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease, evenmindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events, constant and unalloyed devotion to God, detachment from the masses, accepting the importance of self-realization, and search for the Absolute Truth was real knowledge and anything to the contrary was ignorance.
Needless to say I needed further explanations so I humbly inquired.
I was told that humility meant that one should not be anxious for the satisfaction of being honored by others. He said that the material conception of life makes us very eager to receive honor from others. But a person in perfect knowledge – who knows that he is not the body but the person residing within the body – anything, honor or dishonor, pertaining to the body is useless.
Nonviolence is generally taken to mean not killing or destroying the body. But actually, non-violence means not to put others into distress. I raised the question of eating plant foods and causing violence to the plants. The answer was simple: offer your fruits, grains and vegetables to God and He will purify those foods by removing the karmic reaction.
Tolerance means that one should be practiced to receive insult and dishonor from others because when one is engaged in the advancement of spiritual knowledge, there will be many insults and dishonor coming his way. Despite this, we should remain tolerant and continue or progress with determination.
Simplicity means that without diplomacy one should be so straight –forward and still disclose the real truth even to an enemy.
With regard to the acceptance of spiritual master, approaching him with simplicity and humility is essential because without his instructions and guidance one cannot progress on the true spiritual path.
Cleanliness was a two-fold process: clean the external body by bathing regularly and internal cleaning by thinking of and relating to God (more about this at the end).
Steadiness means that one should not waiver to make progress in spiritual life and not accept anything, which is detrimental to the path of spiritual progress.
Renunciation means rejecting anything, which is against the path of spiritual progress.
The senses are so strong that they are always anxious for sense gratification and one should not cater to these demands, which are not necessary. Rome wasn't built in a day and true spiritual progression can take lifetimes. The good news is whatever progression one makes in a given lifetime carries over to the next and you pick up where you left off.
But it has to start somewhere! The first point is to try to control the tongue. Once doing this there is every possibility of controlling the other senses.
False ego means seeing oneself as the vehicle (the body) and not the driver (the soul).
The cycle of birth, old age, disease and death is endless unless one seriously considers making advancement in spiritual life. Without that one's desires have a strong influence in one's next life.
To put it another way, every living entity eats, sleeps, mates and defends. It is the human form's ability to approach God that keeps him from acquiring the body of a lower form in the next life.
Happiness and distress are a given in material life. One has to view their comings and goings as normal and not react with excitement or depression. It happened because it was supposed to. Oh well.
What came next was something that I never ever had a clue about. It had to do with the make-up of a spiritually advanced person and the qualities that he exhibits. Some were new and some were repeated.
Fearlessness, purification of one's existence, cultivation of spiritual knowledge, self-control, performance of sacrifice, austerity and simplicity, non-violence, truthfulness, freedom from anger, renunciation, tranquility, aversion to fault finding, compassion and freedom from acquiring more than one needs, gentleness, modesty, steady determination, vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, freedom from envy and the passion for honor, belong to godly men endowed with divine nature.
Growing up I learned about the 10 Commandments and though that was the only requirements to follow to remain sane and have some sense or morality. I was mistaken.
As I walked this path I was exposed to four more standards to follow to achieve true spirituality. There are three modes of activities in life. We can live in the modes or goodness, passion, or ignorance and for most of us all three are a part of us.
In the mode of goodness, all of the above qualities are prevalent. In the mode of ignorance drinking, night-clubbing, and having an unlimited passion for sex are key. In the mode of ignorance, being dirty and living like a bum sum it up pretty good.
But in the mode of goodness on the rode to true spiritual growth these four standards came my way:
NO GAMBLING: Gambling creates agitation and affects whether one can be at ease in his/her mind.
NO INTOXICANTS: We usually turn to drugs and/or alcohol because we cannot face the austerities of life. They serve no other purpose other than to cloud our minds and take us away from reality.
NO ILLICIT SEX: If you are not married it does not happen. Yes, people live together without going through a "marriage" ceremony and that is considered a marriage.
NOT EATING ANYTHING THAT HAD A FACE OR A MOTHER AND EGGS: Nature provides enough plant based and organic dairy foods to sustain life and to remain fit and healthy. Eat what can be offered to God and refrain from what cannot. Understand that there are scriptures out there that go well beyond the Bible and present more of what you have just read.
In Psalms it states that the connection with God if manifested by praising Him through chanting His names. Bear in mind that His names refer to different aspects of His personality and I covered that in my last article, "A Spiritual Perspective".
Here are a few more.
Gauranga means The One With The Golden Effulgence.
Hari means The Personality of God
Bol means chant
So try this;
Gaur-ra-un-ga Hari-bol
Literal translation: Praise the Holy Name of the One with the Golden Effulgence.
The good news is that it can be done silently within you anywhere. It will bring peace and start your sincere connection to Him. And, if you add music when you are at home it gets better.
If you would like more information please feel free to contact me.
This path, to say the least, was a difficult one to embark upon due to the fact that it went against everything I had been doing my whole life. But, when you realize that the world is not centered around you and arrogance and doing whatever feels good isn't always the best way to go, change comes when it must. I have no regrets.
In accepting a bona fide spiritual teacher I soon learned that among many thousands of saintly teachers, hardly one perfect teacher or spiritual master is to be found. There are numerous individuals qualified to teach certain aspects of the Absolute Truth, but there are few individuals who are truly conversant in all aspects of spiritual understanding.
Those who are serious about realizing and experiencing the Absolute Truth in total as opposed to merely being content or satisfied with a limited or partial spiritual understanding are advised to seek out such a spiritual master and learn from him. The easiest way to find this person is to pray to the Lord in your heart to let that person enter your life.
The one thing that my spiritual master emphasized from day one was as follows:
One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.
In essence, the pleasure that comes from having this binding, internal relationship with God makes it so that despite being IN the world, one is not OF the world.

text: honda have used the names of accord and Civic for some years now and for good reason. The names sell ! it is as simply as that.. A manufacturer only changes a name if either the car was not a good one and the name stinks of reliability issues or the name is a swear word in another language. The name Granada caused a serious problem for fords! Ford use the names Fiesta and focus . In particular the fiesta name has been around for many years. Ford are a manufacturer that liked to keepnames for many years cortina to 5th Generation Escort also VW golf and polo. where a manufacturer has made a codswallop of a car they simply never continue the name. VW fox .. Honda have great names such as goldwing motorcycle (i have had 4) that name started in 1974 ! and still continues to this day..

This is a great restaurant. My family loves this place. My wife and I cannot go without my sons (18 years 16 years and 11 years old) demanding that they go too.
The food is excellent and plentiful. Great value.
The service is also really good.
Chef Grippi makes sure that everything tastes great. He goes out of his way to make sure you are happy.
My advice is pace yourself with the wonderful bread and appetizers so you still have room for the incredible entrees. Go Enjoy!

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Northville now that the original owners of nearby Little Italy restaurant have sold out and are not there anymore. Tiramisu has pretty good food at reasonable prices and very good service. Seems they got better after Little Italy went downhill.
What a "gem"! The chefs are from Sicily and, having been to Italy twice, it was a wonderful find and the atmosphere put us right back in a dining area so reminisent of our trips abroad! As we studied the pictures on the walls we were able to relive our trips and the happy times we had. We came upon Tirami Su quite by accident, having traveled to Northville on other business. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced and the food is exquisit! The portions, while small by American standards, are perfect, the service was wonderful. With so many eateries to chose from, be sure to check out Terami Su the next time you find yourself looking for somewhere that is truly an "Authentic Dining Experience"!

Always quaint and the food has always been excellent. Some of our favorites are Chicken Picante or Lasanga. They provide a tasty salad or soup and yummy breads with each meal. You can go any time of the day . I have been there with co workers/teachers and family and just my husband. The service has been consistent. The price is not to high. Try it soon.

This is the place you need to go! The food is great, the service has always been great and the atmosphere is friendly. I travel all over the world but always come back to this place when I am home! It is not unusual for me to eat here 4-5 times per week if I am in town. This is defenitley the place to go.
Tell the Chef and Owner that Steve sent you!!!!!!

Wow! I read the other review and think we must have went to two different places. I loved this place. The food was great, the service was great and the atmosophere was so inviting. I have two children and found this to be a nice upper scale resturant that was very friendly to me bringing in my kids. They can be a handful, but the server we had was more then willing to joke with them and ask them questions to try and keep them occupied. They have the best tomato cream sauce. My husband had the veal michelangelo and loved it. we met the head chef Frank who is stright from Italy. Come on that should say enough. The food was fresh and come out hot, not like so many other places i have been too where it comes out warm. I was very impressed and found it to be not an expensive evening. For the price you pay you are getting a deal. I can't wait to take my friends. What a great jem to find so close to home. The other guy who left the review should surely check this place out. Thanks for the great dinner.

I don't normally like to say anything bad but give me a break! I have a friend that eats here sometimes and he told me it was pretty good. I don't think I'll listen to him anymore.

G*psy Prêt-à-porter: A collection of misuse and misinformation
With 2017 London Fashion Week well underway, shows are going political—and being the human rights, economic empowerment
devotees we are, could not be more proud. Only thing is, when will the universe
of couture finally understand our battle?
Generally intended to express colourful, carefree, bohemian style, the word "gypsy" is thrown around loosely in the fashion world. From brand names and labels, to standard industry jargon, the word has through time entrenched itself deep within the bowels of the trade. It is no dernier cri. In 2010, Kate Moss posed for a questionable 2010 V Magazine editorial by stylist Karen Langley and photographer Ian Kell entitled "Kate & the Gypsies" while John Galliano, Anna Sui, and countless others included interpretations of the "gypsy" in their ready-to-wear repertoires. In May 2015, Urban Outfitters came under another wave of harsh and well-deserved criticism, notably in the Twittersphere, for coming out with a graphic tee that wrote: Gypster—a hybrid between "gypsy" and "hipster." Being a "gypster" was defined on the t-shirt as someone who is wild, free-spirited, and, of course, "always on the move."
Yet, it appears the conversation that started in 2015 died a quick and painless death, as the term steadily resurfaced with little to no backlash at all. For instance, the gender-neutral brand Gypsy Sport led by designer Rio Uribe has been a complete hit on the catwalk this year. Allure Magazine described it as a "Champion for diversity." Last fall, Kenzo showcased what was described by media as their "gypsy" silhouette dresses on the H&M runway, while the Duchess of Cambridge sported an Alexander McQueen dress inspired by the "intricately beautiful floral patterns seen painted on gypsy caravans and canal barges in the British countryside."
What appear as celebrations of the "gypsy" are in fact misconstrued representations of Rromani people that insidiously work to continue patterns of discrimination and marginalization today. "Gypsy" is much more than just a word. There are meanings, implications, identities and consequences involved in using the term—meanings the fashion world has carelessly neglected. Don't get us wrong, centuries-worth of misinformation and typecasting do not help by any means.
First and foremost, the word g*psy is derogatory. It was originally used to characterize a person of Rromani origin based on the mistaken belief that Rromani people came from Egypt. The term increasingly became synonymous with someone who cheats, steals, or for lack of a better term, "gyp." To be clear, it is a racial slur. The fact that some Rromani identify themselves with the term and do not take offence to it does not make its use any less derogatory, as there is a large percentage of the population that doesn't feel the same.
It would be foolish to deny that its meaning has evolved in certain social realms. In the fashion industry, many designers and consumers do not use it or interpret it negatively per se. The problem is that there are still many places in the world where it is still used to discriminate and dehumanize people of Rromani origin.
When Vivienne Westwood used Rromani models in her spring/summer 2009 tolerance-themed menswear show to illustrate the minority as the "rough, stylish and hardened outcasts of society," she received criticism from many. At the time, Milan's assessor for industry and fashion and ex-Forza Italia MP, Tiziana Maiolo, publicly stated that "there is no chance for integration while the men play cards instead of working and the women and children steal and beg." She also proposed to guide Vivienne on a tour of the nomad camps to prove just how outdated her "romanticized" perception of Rromani is.
That kind of reaction is no surprise. The rise of right-wing populism in Europe has since intensified and the Rromani population, among other minorities, are paying for it. There is a lot wrong with this whole picture that ought to be corrected. For one thing, over 90% of Roma are sedentary. The stereotypes of nomadism perpetuated by dominant political classes have served as a direct tool of marginalization and segregation. The camps or campi nomadi mentioned by Signora Maiolo, were established by the Italian government to appease the so-called cultural nomadism of the Rromani population. Let me repeat, over 90% of Roma are sedentary. The living conditions of these camps are squalid and fall beneath human right standards, yet governments around the world have blamed Rromani, as if they want to live this way.
When the fashion industry perpetuates the stereotype of nomadism in Rromani culture, they feed into and legitimize a legacy of discrimination. It's worth pointing out that 10% of Rromani are nomadic, but it certainly does not stem from a romantic free-spirited idea, but was adopted as a means of survival. Still today, in schools across Western and Eastern Europe, Rromani children are segregated. Access to education remains a serious concern, as do access to healthcare and employment. Acts of violence and hate crimes against Rromani are also on the rise, while even the Canadian government refuses to publicly recognize the Roma Genocide where half a million Rromani were murdered under the Nazi regime during WWII. Years of political rhetoric and misinformation have dehumanized the Rromani population.
Giving into such stereotypes sends a strong message to the Rromani community. When designers, companies and journalists use the term g*psy to describe a brand or particular collection as nomadic, wild and free-spirited for their own commercial benefit, they neglect the real and continuing plight of Rromani and unintentionally reinforce their stigmatization. Let's remember that there is not a single sphere where being Rromani is embraced or praised. Even brands that claim to be inclusive have no real interest in battling stereotypes and changing the status quo.
Fashion is often an expression of a designer's creativity and identity. Therefore, fashion that misconstrues an identity by celebrating this ill-informed interpretation of g*psy culture is highly problematic and in this case, ignorant. For centuries, Rromani communities have suffered persecution, hatred, and violence. By romanticizing the plight of Rromani communities, the fashion industry demonstrates its ignorance and ultimately neglects the fact that Roma are people. It is time for the powerful and highly influential fashion industry to be cognizant of the world around it, and stop reducing a people to a trend.

The Padres made several more moves Friday as they prepared to open a six-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants.
The Padres made their third outright waiver claim in as many days, adding right-handed relief pitcher Drew Carpenter from Philadelphia.
Over the previous two days, the Padres added left-handed hitting outfielder Jeremy Hermida from Cincinnati and right-handed reliever Jeff Fulchino from Houston.
Both Hermida and Fulchino joined the Padres Friday and Hermida made his first start in right with center fielder Cameron Maybin missing a sixth straight start due to right wrist inflammation.
The Padres also recalled catcher Luis Martinez from Triple-A Tucson and said further promotions from Tucson – most notably first baseman Anthony Rizzo and left fielder-third baseman James Darnell -- will probably be postponed until Monday's end of the Pacific Coast League season.
In other moves, catcher Kyle Phillips cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tucson and right-handed reliever Evan Scribner was promoted from Tucson and immediately transferred to the 60-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain.
The Daily Five (Notes, Stats and Numbers)
--OF Chris Denorfia will rejoin Triple-A Tucson in Reno Friday night after going 2-for-3 Thursday night in his second game with Single-A Lake Elsinore.
--3B Chase Headley and wife Casey welcomed their first child Thursday. Colt Jordan Headley weighed eight pounds, four ounces at birth.
--Monday's game, the opener of a three-game series against the Giants, will be played at 1:05 p.m. on Labor Day afternoon.
--3B Logan Forsythe has made two errors in 22 starts at third since taking over for the injured Headley and has the highest fielding percentage (.984) among National League third basemen during the span as well as the second-highest in the major leagues.
--The Padres are hitting .114 (5-for-44) with runners in scoring during their seven-game losing streak after hitting .346 (66-for-191) in RISP situations in their previous 16 games. Overall, the Padres .285 RISP average in the second half is the top in the National League. They hit .221 in RISP situations in the first half.

Im heavy and curvy girl and i think because of my weight i can't get guys to talk to me or even ask me out.. I often feel that in this society today EVERY GUY around my age ONLY date or talk to skinny, small or slim girls. Is that the case? Guys and ladies let me in on whats going feel free to comment!!
Most Helpful Guy
Not at all. It all depends on the guy and his preferences.
I for example am CRAZY about bigger, curvier girls. My very first "real woman" was a bigger, curvier woman slightly older than me - I think it kind of imprinted on me because I can get totally LOST with someone a little larger and heavier than the "normal".
Someone that purely disses you or does not want to relate to you because of how you look or what your weight is is not worth your time. There -are- guys that look deeper or that just plain like your body type and they -are- out there. Don't creep into your shell. A nice, funny, intelligent woman and a warm and giving personality is actually what gets things done with the guys - a body that is nice helps, but any body can be nice! It is all in the eye of the beholder.
The girl I mentioned above for example was very much like you. She also thought nobody would ever want to be with her due to how she looked and that she was slightly overweight and curvy. She was actually very very sensitive, funny, highly intelligent and once you got to know her the warmest, gentlest most loving person I've ever had a relationship with. She just hated her body, and especially her belly! But there was no reason for her to do so, she was perfect, well proportioned, ridiculously attractive and wonderful, even if she was a bit overweight. I found out about a particular hate she had for her belly - and there was NOTHING wrong with it, so in sex-play and lovemaking I'd focus on it, tell her how beautiful it was, kiss it for her, etc. - this acceptance of a part of her she was disgusted by really helped her come out of her shell and enjoy the lovemaking and accept the attention I gave her.
My point being find a guy that is willing to look a bit deeper and get to know the person inside. Guys who just focus on the body tend to not be good long time prospects. Be outgoing, neat, clean, accepting of yourself and project this outward. An overweight woman, with a good attitude and clear acceptance of herself (by herself) can become EXTREMELY attractive just by virtue of how she carries herself and projects herself to guys.11|00|0
WOW!! YOUR RESPONSE REALLY HELPED AND TOUCHED MY HEART. You are sooooo right that if a guy can't look pass what i LOOK like is his problem. I never went for people for what they look like. If the connection is there can be something... I just always felt like I never fitted in just because of my weight but reading your reponse helped me out alot!!! thanks!!!
Sure thing. I'm almost double your age so I've been around a bit... what REALLY carries off a woman in a relationship has very little to do with her body. It is very much her attitude, her humor, her intelligence and how gentle and caring she can be. A big turn OFF for guys is a woman who actively hates herself and refuses to accept attention or love because she does not love herself and does not consider herself worthy of his attention - such women are IMPOSSIBLE to love. Don't fall into that trap - accept yourself as you are, be true to yourself an proud of yourself. Even a slightly plain or overweight woman who walks around with head back and chin up and looks the world in the eye is MUCH more sexy than a doll with a tight body and empty head who is slow and stupid into the bargain as well.. a neat, cared-for woman with intelligence and gentleness in her personality is IMMENSELY attractive - no matter just how overweight she might be.

I was on the phone late last night into the early morning with my ex, Jean-Pierre. When you have a conversation with someone at those hours you know the news is not good. He had lost his mother; she would have been 83 years-old next month. I had lost more than a friend. Through the years, […]

I've always adored Audrey Hepburn, her beauty, grace, elegance, and even her charming accent was something a bumbling teenager, who had nothing in common with her except for the color of her hair, could possibly dream! And so I dreamed…. Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina. Sabrina is falling in love with Linus Larrabee (Humphrey Bogart) as he […]

Sarah's Key – Tatiana de Rosnay
March 24th, 2009 · By Lynn
When I started reading Tatiana de Rosnay's book Sarah's Key, it brought back so many memories of the time when I was working on Steven Spielberg's, The Shoah Project. Back in the mid-nineties I was fortunate enough to be a part of a film crew in Paris that video-taped testimonies of Holocaust victims who recounted […]

It's Sunday, Halifax. The New Democratic Party leadership candidates are in debate. The contest has been written off as a snoozefest thus far. All candidates holding hands. That sort of thing.
There've been no surprises. Except Nathan Cullen.
The 39-year-old MP from northern British Columbia, bald as the hood on your Lexus, likes making bad-hair-day jokes. He delights the audience with one such offering, then turns serious on the question of retirement security. "The next time the Prime Minister wants to announce that he's going after seniors and does so in another country, he should stay there!"
The applause meter rises with that broadside. It rises again with a Cullen projectile against the government's planned purchase of zillion-dollar warplanes. "For the price of just three of those jets we could lift every senior out of poverty in this country!"
He moves on – servility to the oil industry. Although oil prices are at an all-time high, the Conservatives will subsidize companies $1.3-billion to develop the tar sands, he protests. Those rich companies "need nothing from this government!"
If the NDP race is a bore, it's not because of Mr. Cullen. In an eight-contestant race, standing out from the pack is a challenge. But Mr. Cullen is upstaging everyone. He's a skilled communicator, crisp and witty with an intensity of commitment. He's also not afraid to go – and this is seen as his weakness – where other NDPers fear to tread.
The race is about who can best stand up to Stephen Harper. Who has the strength, the intellect, the guts. Mr. Cullen is showing, along with Thomas Mulcair, that he might have it. Mr. Mulcair was a force again on Sunday. When Paul Dewar, no slouch as a candidate, challenged him on his position on bulk water exports, the Quebecker, with indignant precision, mercilessly took him apart. It was a crystallizing moment. Mr. Cullen was looking on as if to say, "Whew, did you see that?"
The race is also about who can hold Quebec and Mr. Mulcair, the former Liberal Quebec cabinet minister, has it over the others on that qualification.
But the fight is also, as Mr. Cullen sees it, about more than just the health of the New Democratic Party. It's about all Canadian progressives and how they can find a way to stop the resolute march of their opposite number.
The trilingual Mr. Cullen, who worked in community and economic development in Latin America and Africa, is the one leadership candidate running on a platform of co-operation with the Liberals. In ridings held by Conservatives, he wants the Grits and the NDP to pool their resources, holding joint nomination meetings to put up one opposing candidate. The modified merger plan is not to the liking of other contestants, who challenged Mr. Cullen on it.
Listen, he told them, the Harper Conservatives have another four years and if progressives don't co-operate, it will be another eight. Do they really want to be around to see the kind of Canada that will have emerged by that time?
Mr. Cullen referenced Mr. Mulcair's Liberal background. He said he didn't judge him with any suspicion on that basis, but only on the fact of their common ground as progressives. Mr. Mulcair got a bit testy, thinking Mr. Cullen was calling into question his NDP bona fides. He wasn't. He was saying they have a common world view and that was enough.
Indeed, what is important is that while they do not agree on merger options, both these strong candidates share the goal, more so than the others, of wishing to broaden the NDP tent to the Liberal middle.
Mr. Cullen is not likely to win. His modified-merger offering, while reasonable, alienates too many of the party's rank and file. He is ahead of his time.
But come convention time in March, he could find himself in the role of kingmaker and, following it, deputy leader. If the party is looking for a powerhouse duo, it could do a lot worse than an east-west Mulcair-Cullen combination.Report Typo/Error

The Russian Messenger (Russkii Vestnik) went through a number of incarnations. The first Russian Messenger was edited by Sergei Glinka from 1808-1820 and again in 1824.
The third incarnation was founded in 1856 by a group of liberal intellectuals, and grew to become one of the most influential of Russia's 'thick' journals (the name came from the hefty size of each volume). Its main editor was Mikhail Katkov. The list of famous works of Russian literature that were first published in the Russian Messenger is dizzying. Tolstoy's major works War and Peace and Anna Karenina appeared in this journal first, alongside Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed and The Brothers Karamazov, and Turgenev's Fathers and Sons and other writing. See here for more on the treasures published in this journal.

Manor have avoided sanctions by the stewards after failing to take part in qualifying on Saturday for the Australian Grand Prix.
The South Yorkshire-based marque were asked for a written explanation for their non-participation as a potential breach of one of the FIA's sporting regulations.
But having considered all the available material, the stewards have deemed Manor not to be in breach of the rules.
Via a statement the stewards cleared Manor on eight counts, the first being quite simply "they attended the event".
Other points were the team:
* brought a significant quantity of material and equipment with it;
* produced all required documents for checking;
* took part in scrutineering and its two cars were eligible to compete;
* brought sufficient staff to prepare cars for competition;
* continued to work and do all within its ability to enable the two cars to compete;
* prepared the cars to a state where they were mechanically complete;
* would not have been able to achieve a software configuration that allowed the two cars to be operated in practice or qualifying sessions, even if they had worked outside curfew requirements.
Manor only emerged from administration three weeks ago after being saved by energy entrepreneur Stephen Fitzpatrick.
Prior to that Manor were on the brink of selling their assets via an auction, resulting in them being forced to wipe all the hard drives of their computers, so losing valuable data to aid their return.
Attempting to rebuild their systems from the ground up proved time consuming and difficult, and in the end too big a hurdle to overcome.
The stewards concluded they "accepted that the team explained it had used all reasonable endeavours to ensure that its cars were able to compete in active competition", and "therefore…take no further action during the event".

|Leonard Bernstein
I have always been a person who respects others choices, preferences and beliefs. Most people have their favorites, definitely in the entertainment industry, and those differences give us a wonderful diversity. Recently, I had an opportunity to view the 1961 movie "West Side Story" with an assorted audience of friends differing in age, culture and race. October 18, 2011 marked the 50th anniversary of the epic, multi-academy award winning movie. Nevertheless, as with any movie there will be some who will not appreciate it, no matter how many awards it may have won. Most who elicited a negative response said things like "too old", or "too much singing and dancing". I can understand persons expressing their opinions even though I may disagree. However, I have a problem with the dislike of the work of composer Leonard Bernstein. More than just a matter of my opinion, Bernstein was not just another composer; he was a national treasure. One of his endearing qualities was the way he sought to teach young people through his musical works and the works of other composers. Bernstein himself was greatly influenced by older composers like Aaron Copland. One statement I made in our discussion of "West Side Story" was that no one has made an attempt to remake the film. Many older films with the success of "West Side Story" have been given a modern music update with a rock or hip hop feel. That's when I stated that the composition was indeed more important to the film than the story line itself. Bernstein created something that was far ahead of its time and (as I feel} impossible to re-create. The classically trained Bernstein exhibited a real feel for jazz and modern music throughout the musical score. Trust me, as a musician this is a difficult musical piece to perform but wonderful when performed by skilled musicians. If you have not seen the movie "West Side Story" I encourage you to please rent or download it and form your own opinion. Meanwhile, I've attached one of the dance segments from "West Side Story" to let you see, and more importantly hear the music of the great Leonard Bernstein.

Maugham, like Hermann Hesse, was remarkably prescient, anticipating an embrace of Eastern culture by Americans and Europeans almost a decade before the Beats were to popularise it. (It should be noted that Americans had explored Eastern philosophy prior to these authors, notably in the first half of the nineteenth century by the Transcendentalists.) Maugham himself visited Sri Ramana Ashram, where he had a direct interaction with Ramana Maharshi in Tamil Nadu, India in 1938.[3][4] Maugham's suggestion that he "invented nothing" was a source of annoyance for Christopher Isherwood, who helped him translate a verse 1.3.14 from the Katha Upanishads for the novel's epigraph – उत्तिष्ठ जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत | क्षुरस्य धारा निशिता दुरत्यया दुर्गं पथस्तत्कवयो वदन्ति || (uttiṣṭha jāgrata prāpya varān nibodhata| kṣurasya dhārā niśitā duratyayā durga pathas tat kavayo vadanti|| ) – which means "Rise, wake up, seek the wise and realize. The path is difficult to cross like the sharpened edge of the razor (knife), so say the wise."
Many thought Isherwood, who had built his own literary reputation by then and was studying Indian philosophy, was the basis for the book's hero.[5] Isherwood went so far as to write Time magazine denying this speculation.[6] It has also been suggested that a man called Guy Hague was an important influence in the character of Darrell, although it now appears that he was not at Ramanasramam when Maugham visited.[7] The English poet and translator Lewis Thompson is thought to be a more likely candidate.[8] David Haberman has pointed out that Ronald Nixon, an Englishman who took monastic vows and became known as Krishna Prem, served as a fighter pilot in the First World War and experienced a crisis of meaninglessness that was "strikingly similar" to that experienced by Larry.[9]

Did You Know?
Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the last signature wasn't added until 5 years later.
"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt.
The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.
The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
The name Jeep came from the abbreviation used in the army for the "General Purpose" vehicle, G.P.
The cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth II, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.
The only two days of the year in which there are no professional sports games (MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL) are the day before and the day after the Major League all-stars Game.

As with previous posts about Brent Weeks' Lightbringer series, I'm going to tell you again that you can't start in the middle of the series without being lost, nor would you want to, it's a great series, go to book one and start there…yadda yadda yadda. Or else here be spoilers.
Ok, now that's out of the way. Let's get to the good stuff.
I don't know how Weeks consistently ratchets up the tension, weirdness, and worldbuilding with each novel, but here we are at book number four, THE BLOOD MIRROR, and you shouldn't be surprised by this point that it's yet another big book of epic fantasy goodness.

At the end of last year, I had picked 3 words for 2017. They are Faith, Create and Connect.
Now I've decided to change the last one to JOY.
I have been doing this "3 Words" thing for few years, (like my friend Chris), but this is the first time I've decided to change one of the words after I've picked them.
I've written about the Tea Leaf Reading I went last week.

DUNDEE UNITED and Hearts last night insisted Rangers newco stand NO chance of being admitted to the SPL or an SPL2 tomorrow.
A conference call of the SPL board took place on Friday, outlining the options available following the SFL's decision to put Gers in the Third Division.
And further informal calls between other club chiefs have since taken place ahead of tomorrow's SPL agm.
United chairman Stephen Thompson, who jetted in today from a family holiday in the USA, told MailSport last night the SPL can't make a mockery of democracy.
He said: "Both scenarios are total non-starters. They have NO chance of happening."
Hearts managing director David Southern also fired out a similar message last night
It's understood Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Motherwell, Celtic and Hibs are just as unequivocal on their original decision to refuse the newco a place in the top flight.
It's also believed many are becoming increasingly annoyed at the attempts of SPL chief Neil Doncaster and his SFA counterpart Stewart Regan to subvert the process with their constant warnings of financial Armageddon.
Thompson insists they are all aware of the reality of the situation but said: "The democratic process has taken place and the thing with democracy is that whether you like the results or not, you have to live with the outcome.
"That's my attitude and I know it's the attitude of several fellow chairmen.
"We might fear the consequences of what has happened but if the fans want integrity, that's what has been delivered. Now they have to back us every week.
"We had 10,000 at Dens yesterday for a friendly against Dundee so it shows the support can be there. It's not all doom and gloom.
"If we even contemplated discussing what people are suggesting – inviting Rangers straight into the SPL or creating an SPL2 for them and others to play in – every club in the country would have thousands outside their doors, queueing up for their season-ticket money back."
The lack of clarity from the SPL's main broadcaster Sky still casts a shadow over events.
Most suspect Sky will stick around in some shape or form, although they are certain the SPL will be forced to renegotiate the current deal.
Thompson admitted: "There will be a loss of distribution, probably through renegotiation rather than the complete loss of deals, and it will hurt.
"The future is something we can prepare for, cutting budgets to fit, but it's the contractual obligations we have now which are the problem.
"The seasons to come are going to be hard on managers and players. They have to understand there will be a different reality for budgets."
Hearts also went public on their stance yesterday and insisted talk about finding room for the newco shouldn't be on the agenda at the SPL agm.
Managing director Southern said: "Anything's possible for discussion but nothing has been mentioned to us that this is on the agenda.
"We think it would be a very short discussion indeed. We certainly do not plan to go over any old ground. The most important thing for Scottish football now is that we move on.
"We are focused on the new season. Rangers, as has been elected, will play in Division Three."
But Third Division Clyde don't expect to be facing the Ibrox club next term.
In a statement they said: "Rangers may yet be denied the opportunity to play football in SFL3 because it suits the interests of others."
