Hello! Thank you for your interest in knowing a little more about me.
Basics first, I go by the name RANIA. I don't know about you but my name is certainly one of the best things in me. I'm twenty-five, pure Filipina, flight attendant. I'm a licensed nurse in the Philippines and I worked for three years in that profession even before I started flying. As to my change in career, there's quite a long story for that so I can probably make a sub-page for it soon.
I'm a struggling Muslim Filipina. Most of the time I ain't gonna be the best representation of my religion, but I hope you wouldn't judge Islam solely for the behavior of humans who are always bound to commit mistakes. Insha Allah I will always be reminded and guided to act and behave in accordance of Islam.
I'm the typical introvert who is always awkward on small talks, values solitude more than anything and always immense herself in the world of fictional characters. I like anything dainty - pastels, florals, feminine - anything that reminds you of Blair Waldorf. So you probably got the idea on what my future posts will be about.
In relation to my job, I'm always on the go - always in somewhere not my home. So apart from everyday whatnots, I wish to share as well some travel tips and experience. If you got some questions, feel free to leave a comment or contact me on any of my social media accounts.
Thank you!

JACKSON -- Mississippi is holding party primaries Tuesday for a U.S. Senate seat held since 2007 by Republican Roger Wicker, who was endorsed months ago by President Donald Trump.
It is a heavily Republican state that last had a Democrat in the Senate in January 1989, when John C. Stennis retired.
Wicker served nearly 13 years in the U.S. House before then-Gov. Haley Barbour appointed him to the Senate when fellow Republican Trent Lott resigned. Wicker, of Tupelo, faces one primary challenger who is running a low-budget campaign, business owner Richard Boyanton of Diamondhead.
"President Trump and I need your help to enact his America first policies and make America great again," Wicker said in a recent fundraising email.
Six candidates are in the Democratic primary, including state Reps. David Baria and Omeria Scott, and venture capitalist Howard Sherman, who is the husband of actress Sela Ward. The primary could go to a June 26 runoff.
Baria, of Bay St. Louis, is an attorney and served one term in the state Senate before being elected in 2011 to the Republican-led Mississippi House, where he's now the Democratic leader. He criticizes Republicans for cutting taxes and refusing to expand Medicaid.
"Apparently we in Mississippi have decided that we don't want to invest in ourselves anymore. We would rather give corporate tax cuts to out-of-state corporations," Baria said at a recent fundraiser. "I think people in Mississippi understand it's wrong."
Scott, who runs a soul food restaurant in Laurel, said in an interview that Mississippi needs to spend more state and federal money on education, health care and highways.
"Voters want the people who represent them to go to work every day and understand that their grandchildren ... are going to leave Mississippi if there is no opportunity," Scott said.
Sherman has acknowledged he was a registered Republican in California, and that he donated $5,000 to Wicker in 2017, when it appeared Wicker would be challenged this year by tea party-backed state Sen. Chris McDaniel, who nearly unseated Mississippi's senior senator, Thad Cochran in a bitter 2014 Republican primary.
Sherman and Ward raised their two children in Los Angeles, where he grew up, and the couple now lives near her hometown of Meridian, Mississippi. Sherman said he hopes to attract votes from "moderate businessmen."
"Businessmen who are like, 'I've had it with Trump. OK, maybe the tax cut was good for me, but it violates my moral compass so badly that if I had somebody else I could be comfortable with, I'm willing to do that,'" Sherman said last month in Hattiesburg.
In the race for the seat now held by Wicker, the Reform Party's Shawn O'Hara and Libertarian Danny Bedwell will also be on the ballot in November.
Campaign finance records show Sherman donated $5,000 to Wicker in 2017. Sherman said he did it because it appeared Wicker would be challenged this year.
McDaniel initially announced he would run against Wicker this year. But after 80-year-old Cochran resigned from the Senate amid health concerns in April, McDaniel said he would challenge Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a Nov. 6 special election.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant appointed Hyde-Smith, the state agriculture commissioner, to temporarily succeed Cochran. There are no primaries for the special election. Although party labels won't appear on the ballot, candidates are telling voters their affiliation. Others who qualified to run are Democrat Mike Espy, who was President Bill Clinton's first agriculture secretary, and Democrat Tobey Bartee, a former Gautier city councilman.

The city's water rates may soon be divided into multiple tiers based on the amount of water customers use. The change could come in the wake of a plan endorsed Tuesday by the City Council. If ultimately approved, the plan would boost revenues to erase $13.5-million worth of red ink and pay for badly needed infrastructure improvements.
Under the plan, the biggest water users likely will see higher rates, while those who use the least could actually see their bills reduced. City Council members also said they favored rate changes that would increase Glendale Water & Power revenue incrementally through 2015, starting with 2% the first two years, 4% the third and then 5% in the final year.
The rates changes could go into effect starting in March.
Officials say the additional revenue is needed to replenish a $13.5-million deficit for the water utility, where accelerated capital expenditures have outpaced revenue in recent years.

India, Pakistan become full members of SCO
- Author: Jon Douglas Jun 15, 2017,
Jun 15, 2017, 1:29
A day before, Prime Minister Modi met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the 17th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit and discussed bilateral relations where the latter pointed out that the global environment was undergoing profound and complex changes. Modi further said terrorism is one of the chief violators of human rights and values. By becoming a full SCO member, India now stands to gain in the spheres of security, economy, trade, investment, connectivity and energy co-operation.
"Terrorism is a major threat to humanity", Mr Modi said, adding that there was a need for concerted efforts to defeat terrorism and radicalisation.
Since India is now a member of the SCO, it would be able to express its views and get its concerns reflected on the outcome documents of all future meetings and summits of the organisation, sources clarified.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday in a veiled dig at both Pakistan and China, called for joint efforts to eliminate terrorism even as he emphasised that connectivity projects should not impinge on a country's sovereignty.
The Prime Minister, speaking in the presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif among others, also asserted that sovereignty and territorial integrity should be the key factors in such a cooperation.
This was the first-ever expansion of the group since its formation in 2001.
What lent significance to Xi's decision was his meeting with Indian PM Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the summit. The meeting came weeks after the Indian leader refused to dispatch a delegation to attend "One Belt, One Road" summit in Beijing.
India on 9 June 2017 became a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) ending the administrative procedures that started two years ago.
India has been an observer of the SCO meeting since 2005.
Xi urged the SCO to play a bigger role in Afghanistan's peace and reconciliation process, adding that China will assume the SCO rotating presidency after the Astana summit and is willing to maintain close communication and coordination with all parties, including Russian Federation, to achieve further development for the SCO.

Question by Nick P: How can I free up a stuck door lock?
I have a 1995 Geo Metro that has a door lock that is stuck on the passenger side. It's stuck to the point that if you try to force they key, it will bend before opening it. Before I purchased the car, it sat for awhile. The driver's side was very difficult for awhile too, but now that I've been using it daily it has been moving much more freely. I remember when I locked the passenger side (it was unlocked when I bought it) it was very difficult to move the lock lever on the inside of the vehicle. I've attempted to turn the key with the window down while I reach inside and push the lever at the same time with no success as well. I'm sure that the lock isn't frozen and that it's not the key failing to "unlock" the lock. It's doing it's job, but corrosion must have gotten the better of it at some point.
Anyone have a suggestion? I need to get the door open so that I can take the door panel off for further examination. Perhaps spraying a lubricant inside the lock itself?
Thanks in advance!
Best answer:
Answer by blanderswake
Spray some WD-40 in the lock.

Gail Box: The best medicine of all - an every day prescription
We could all agree on this one thing; we read something every day. It could be a news item, a schedule for the coming week, a recipe, or a book. We may read many things on our computers or cell phones, as well. Our whole family has become very health conscious in the past year. The right foods help, but there's one thing that helps supplement our vitamins in keeping us healthy as we deal with keeping in shape for this world.
There is an "every day supplement" that works wonders for our mind, body, and soul if we read it every day. Yes. The Bible. Here's how it works.
We pick a time and place at home where we can be alone….a quiet, solitary place, blocking out other sounds as much as possible. It can even be outside at times. I had a quiet time once under my mother-in-law's dining table where the tablecloth came down on all four sides. So, no limits on the place. Have a pen, journal, Bible, and perhaps, a daily schedule of scriptures. If there's no schedule, I recommend starting in the Book of John in the New Testament, perhaps a chapter each day.
Jesus tells us, as He told His disciples:
"But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your
door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father
who sees what is done in secret will reward you…for your Father
knows what you need before you ask Him." Matthew 6:6, and 8b.
These directions from Jesus aren't finished in Matthew, Chapter 6. For He goes into a prayer which sums up to us a prescriptive prayer plan. We know it by heart. It's the Lord's prayer. "Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. "Hallowed" means to "honor as being holy." We call Him, Yahweh. As we look a little closer at Jesus' prayer to the Father, we see a plan emerge.
It shows us that we can praise God at the beginning and end of our prayer time. We are acknowledging Him and His kingdom which is coming at the end of the age and forever. In the middle, we thank Him for our food. We forgive all debts, even ours. Then we ask Him to deliver us from any evil thoughts or evil which comes against us.
Notice the prayer is not a long one. We are to bring all petitions to Him for others and for ourselves. Yes, He already knows what we need. He just wants us to ask, seek, and knock that He may be the One who opens the door for us. And, of course, we are to leave a silent time for Him to speak or to answer our petition. Jesus prescribed this prayer for our well-being.
All the above is a healthy medication, as well as it gives us a relationship with the God of our universe. And all the above can start now…

Jodi Arias Secret Testimony Video Released
Remorse and regret came out of secret testimony released last Thursday in the Jodi Arias sentencing retrial. Her attorneys wanted it sealed off from the public, but a court ruling overturned that.
Arias wanted to testify behind closed doors because she said she was getting death threats and wouldn't be able to answer question in a manner "she truly means."
"I wish so badly that I could just take that away from them and that I could reverse what I did and that I could take away what all these people are feeling that I've hurt, including Travis," Arias told jurors on the first day of her testimony.
"What I did was so horrific I couldn't have – I could never have imagined myself doing that to another human being," Arias said.

Through The Lens is the first full-length album released by the Denver band "Thoughtpilot". We are in front of a cd that consists of ten tracks (one intro, one outro and eight songs) of Progressive Metal music with touches of deathcore in its heavy moments and a tincture of metalcore in its elaborated background leads. This album is literally a mix of breakdowns and leads, changing from one to the other agressively, with elaborate bridges and superimposing them.
It is full of complicated rhythms that go from zero to one hundred at a time, with complicated riffs adorned with solos and elaborate tapings, making this cd instrumentally great If you are a fan of this type of music is an album that you have to listen to, because these 5 guys do not do anything wrong, you can tell it by listening to this album.

While policymakers and Netizens continue to debate the best way to phase out Network Solutions' monopoly for registering domain names, the Internet Council of Registrars is forging ahead with its own plan to introduce competition.
The Council of Registrars, also known as Core, said it is reviewing applications from companies that want to make money by registering new domain names once Network Solutions' exclusive contract expires this fall. Core, formed last year through an international agreement signed by several leading Internet organizations, is already processing more than 40 applications from companies around the world.
Core originally planned to limit the number of registrars worldwide to closely monitor the use of trademarked names in the Internet domain name system. But the group was persuaded to change its policy after critics said a small number of registrars wouldn't produce enough competition.
"The application process will be ongoing, without deadlines, because we need to provide people all over the world with greater choice in both Internet addresses and registration services," Ken Stubbs, chairman of Core's executive committee, said last week. Applications are at CORE's Web site, http://www.corenic.org/join_core/appform.htm.

Niall Horan Confesses He Wanted To Rap on Camila Cabello's 'Havana'
Niall Horan gets ready for his next songs while performing on Today on Thursday morning (October 26) in New York City.
Just the night before, while signing a ton of album jackets, the "Too Much To Ask" musician confessed that he would've loved to rap on Camila Cabello's hit song, "Havana".
"By the way, you should have got me to do this part," Niall says, joking about Young Thug's rap verse. "I can't believe I was looked past…How dare you. I'm very upset about that, actually. I would have been perfect for this."
"Can I do a rap feature on your next song?" he asked later.
While she didn't commit to anything, Camila did give him a shout out for his album: "Congrats on ur album. You're killing it. [heart emoji] for real. I love ur new music."
Check out the full exchange below:

Transgender Woman Denied Ladies Night Drinks
The owner of a Florida bar is apologizing for his employees' refusal to give free booze to a transgender woman on Ladies Night, even though she is legally a female.
The Daily Mail reports that Alex Borrego and her drag queen friend were initially given free drinks at the Bishop Tavern and Lounge in St. Petersburg Thursday night. But then a bouncer came over and stopped the flow, saying, "You're dudes."
Borrego then whipped out her driver's license to show that she is legally a woman. She has taken hormones and other "measures" to change her gender.
"Legally, I'm a woman," Borrego told the Tampa Bay Times. "And to deny me to participate in ladies night, that's very disrespectful."
By Friday a Facebook boycott of the bar drew 250 fans, prompting owner Dean Marshlack to issue an apology on the bar's Facebook page, saying his bouncer was "misinformed":
This event has given us the opportunity to better educate our staff to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience regardless of who you are.
A co-owner of Bishop has had thorough conversations with two of those involved. We are all pleased with the awareness provided and the results of these dialogues.
Borrego said despite the apology, she won't be returning to Bishop Tavern anytime soon.

Even though travel is mainly for business or pleasure, sometimes it can lead to a frightening experience. When you do not properly plan for your trip, it can become a disaster. To get the most from your travel, read the suggestions ahead.
Be sure to pre-plan your trip if an airport is involved in your travels. Major airports can be difficult to get to because of long traffic delays. Be packed and ready the night before. Be prepared long before you have to be at the airport. You do not want to miss your flight.
Always carry an updated color photo of your child with you. This will come in handy if they are ever lost. Losing a child in a foreign place can be very stressful and scary. However, it can occur. Being able to show a photo might make a critical difference in the time it takes to locate your child should he or she get lost.
Avoid foods that may contain something you're allergic to hiding in a dish. Learn the words for foods to which you are allergic in the native tongue of the country you are visiting, especially if your reactions are severe. This will give you the ability to alert your waiter or waitress of the foods that you have an allergy to so that they can be kept out of your meals.
The type of digital camera you take on your trip should be dependent on the trip you are taking. If you are going backpacking, you shouldn't have one with a rechargeable battery. In almost all cases, you will want a digital camera that can be turned on and focused very quickly so that you don't miss the shot.
Travel is supposed to be enjoyable, but that is not always the case. Using the tips above can help you use your new knowledge and make the next trip pleasurable and easy.

I bought this lovely basket of apricots last week plus some ripe peaches thinking I possibly could all eat them before they went bad. I get bored easily so I enjoy transforming up it. I do feel I'm totally over shrinkwrap and glycerin soap embeds though. I used Licorice Mint Tea for the liquid percentage of my soap and then exposed a tea bag and use the tea to spread the middle of the most truly effective down when I was completed. not the whole thing is video worthy although I have been really hectic in the soap region recently.
the freezing dairy is always used by me and exchange 2-4 ounce of dairy with plain tap water to allow for lye to start out the melt process. Likewise, iced dairy adds a little more protection issue around the toxins from water and lye. There are always a trillion best facial cleanser diverse soap dishes out-there and I like individuals with avocado fat because it gives the pockets. I've one particular recipe that is my tried and tested, but has 4 oils. Remember too that dealing with lye is no less safe than driving, applying sharp knives, firing etc, a weapon.
Consider your 2 cups of cool dairy and established it in a METAL pot and gradually include you 6 oz of lye as you blend having a scoop that is steel or wooden. And anything can be used by you from a shoe box covered with wax paper, to handmade wooden molds, to pre- made molds. I bought my soap products within Washington Region from Betterbee. Some folks may need to order lye online if it's uncommon within their villages, but call your hardware retailers first. I discovered this unique site that allows you fill out all-the parameters of your own supplies, size, and such plus it informs you and images out a formula for you personally.

This confirms that India are through to the final and will meet Sri Lanka. Their final game with Bangladesh tomorrow is just a dead rubber.
We witnessed yet another comprehensive thrashing by the team chasing. The bowlers, particularly Zaheer Khan, and the fielders set it up for India. A target of 214 was made to look like a walkover by Gambhir, Karthik and Kohli. Karthik will be pleased with the shots he played tonight, getting his timing right. Kohli batted like a man in form and made the bowling look ordinary.
Wijekoon: "Unless Sanga wanted to test the bowlers in such conditions as these, it is truly amazing he decides to bat first after winning the toss. It makes no sense at all. He even complained how he wouldn't let his bowlers experience such conditions. His arguments now look flimsy."
Stay with us for the presentation.
Sangakkara: "I don't think we learnt much from batting first. We always looked to score runs. We tried not to get too far ahead of ourselves. We know we're far better than this."
Dhoni: "This was the best fielding performance in the last 12 months. Tyagi and Zaheer bowled decently, Mishra too. He varied his pace well. Dinesh began superbly well. Virat has been very consistent."
Zaheer Khan is the Man of the Match: "I just stuck to the basics. The plan with Dilshan was to put two fielders on the deep on the on side and cramp him for room. This was a good confidence booster for me. Hope MS wins the toss in the final."
That's it from us here. Join us tomorrow for India v Bangladesh, the final league game, which is a dead rubber. Thanks for your company. It's goodbye.
One to win

Saddlemen Adventure Track Seat for BMW R1200GS / Adventure
The Saddlemen Adventure Track Seat is a hybrid seat design that combines Saddlemen's exclusive elements of a GEL comfort layer and progressive density foam with a GEL-Channel design to provide Adventure and Dual Sport riders with unparalleled comfort and control. Rugged marine-grade synthetic suede resists the elements while providing the proper balance of grip and comfort under the rider's posterior.
The pillion section is covered with high-tech gripper material to help hold cargo in place and is shaped to match the rear rack's height for simplified cargo packing. Integrated bag or cargo mounting points on the pillion match Saddlemen Adventure PACK bags or use them to secure your own load.
- Hybrid seat design combines SaddleGel interior, progressive density foam and a Gel Channel saddle to provide Adventure and Dual Sport riders with unparalleled comfort and control
- Saddlemen's Gel Channel (GC) technology (patent pending) seats incorporate a split piece of SaddleGel and a channel in the base foam to relieve seating pressure on the perineal area, increase blood flow, thus keeping the rider in the saddle longer
- Gel Channel seats offer high quality, durable construction and styling that's as unique as it is functional
- The vinyl and rugged micro-fiber suede cover holds up to hard use while providing a superb blend of comfort and control (certain models feature a rugged gripper style cover)
- Some seat applications, such as mid-sized Dual Sport motorcycles, have a standard foam design (no GC) with a gripper and vinyl cover better suited to rigorous riding
- Integrated bag/cargo mounting points on the pillion portion of the Adventure-class seat sets make it easy to attach Saddlemen's Adventure PACK luggage or other cargo
- Most mid-sized Dual Sport applications also include a luggage/cargo mounting strap set that installs or removes in seconds from the seat
- A solo rider-seat, rather than a full two-piece set, is available in some applications
- Most seats are also available in low-profile designs
Note: Image is for reference only, actual seat may vary slightly.

Adventure track seat for BMW r12000 GSA
I just received my new Saddlemen seat and installed it on my 2015 GS Adventure. I'll break up my comments into PROS and CONS.
The build quality of the seat looks good
It installed on my bike with no problems
I've only ridden a few times with my new seat but it seems very comfortable
There is a large gap between the front of the seat and the gas tank on my bike. Large enough that I can get the tip of my index finger between the tank and the seat.
There is a similar gap between the back of the rider seat and the pillion seat.

I have a 2015 low frame R1200GS. Will this seat fit my bike?
I just purchased a 2015 Low suspension BMW R1200GS with a low seat and am able to handle the height well enough (balls of my feet touching) but any extra height would be an issue. Is this seat going to be any higher than the BMW factory low seat?
BEST ANSWER: No really don't think so. The only thing is that it is firmer than stock and won't sink or give a little like stock. So you feel that it's slightly taller.

A new mobile connection, in a new city is a huge task. so while i was at it, i thought i might as well start my encounters with the 'queen of suburbs'. march 9, 2010, Tuesday, i start walking around asking for bazaar road.
the first encounter happened while walking down Hill Road a little and then move right to the busy Bazaar Road. It was a revelation if i must say to move around a busy street like this and still have space for all. The gully will not be wider than 10 feet, with busy shops on either sides, constant mumbling and vehicles finding their way through the already saturated bunch of pedestrians.
everyone has to talk, bargain and while i walked past it was great not be involved in any of the market activities but just hanging around to get a sense of the place. well and as i got to know later about some facts it was even more enchanting!
some facts that took me by surprise:
- Bazaar rd is only 2 km long but houses a Jain temple, Ram mandir, hanuman temple, Khoj mosque, Christian chapel and a Sikh Gurudwara.
- while walking through the road it was very interesting to observe the transition from a Christian culture suddenly to a Muslim culture, en route to Lucky Biryani!
The noise, commotion traffic, people, shops, bargaining..all goods, Bazaar road has it all to fulfill the stereotypical notion of an Indian bazaar.
images soon!

Or cake with your coffee?? Then again, why not jut mix the 2 up and have COFFEE CAKE? Licking your lips yet? ;) This is a great dessert option after Sunday Lunch. If you're like me and loveeeee coffee, you could have this cake Monday, Wednesday, Friday …you get the picture ;)
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar (I used castor sugar)
¼ tsp salt
226 grams butter (I used unsalted)
3 Tbspns Instant coffee crystals
½ cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1tsp baking soda
2tsps vanilla
How to hook it up
Heat oven to 180 degrees and grease 2 sandwich pans. Alternatively you can also grease a 22cm baking pan.
*Mix sugar, flour and ¼ tsp salt in large bowl and set aside
*Melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. While that's melting, mix the coffee granules with 1 cup boiling water and set aside.
*Once the butter has melted, add the coffee mixture to the same pot. Let it boil for about 20 seconds, then turn off the heat and set aside for a minute. Ensure that you don't burn the butter(The butter and coffee mix has an almost nutty/coffee/exotic smell while its boiling).
*In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda and vanilla – mix until well combined
*Pour the coffee mixture into the flour mix and stir gently. The aim here is isn't to mix it perfectly, but to allow the coffee mix to cool down slightly. While mixing you'll notice that the colour of the mix will be a creamy caramel colour.
Add the egg mixture and stir gently until well combined.
Pour into greased baking pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until set. In my oven I bake this cake for about 45 minutes at 180 degrees celcius. At moms house, it bakes for 35 minutes so time depends on your oven, You will smell when its ready.
Allow to cool COMPLETELY!! I was in such a hurry to taste this cake that I only let it cool for about 10 minutes or so before attempting to remove it from the pan. That's not enough time as the cake is very moist and needs to be very cool before being removed from the cake pan. Trust me on this one.
The smell is sooo divine and you'll want to eat the cake straight from the pan (and lick the air!!:)), but exercise some control and wait until its cooled. It is WELL worth the wait.
I was in a rush to get to mums house for Sunday Lunch that I didn't have time to make icing for this cake, so instead we served it with custard (home made ;)) and/or fresh cream. I wasn't able to get any pics of the actual serving suggestion because by the time I looked, it was all finished (thumbs up).
Don't be afraid to have it with a cup of coffee. In my world, you can never have too much coffee!

Alas, gone are my lazy summer days! Days for aimless ponderings and thoughtful musings, romantic novels and suspenseful novellas, and other hours spent in contemplation of new and exciting recipes. But that's okay, I'm glad to say that I love my studies; and they come as no bore or burden to me. We'll just have to see if I can keep up with my blogging. :)
For me, this dish is pure comfort food. Really? Tofu, comfort food? Yup. There is something so very delightful in the smooth, soft bite of the tofu that I find wholly comforting. That along with the nutty and earthy toasted sesame oil is truly mesmerizing.
On the topic of sesame oil, for this dish to have an assertive sesame flavor, a dark sesame oil is absolutely required. Another good thing to look for (this goes for all oils) is cold-pressed. The flavor is much more deep and pronounced, plus the nutritional value remains much more intact. In this recipe, I use toasted sesame oil because it is what I have on hand, but I'm sure a dark sesame oil that is not toasted would also work as well. As a side note, I would definitely recommend keeping your oils refrigerated. I live in a warm climate where it isn't uncommon for an oil, especially sesame or nut oils, to go rancid very fast. I even keep my olive oil in the fridge; just remember to pull them out in advance so they can warm up a bit.
And yesterday Mr. Rachmaninov went in for the surgery. He wasn't entirely happy about it in the initial, but he has now regained his happy-go-lucky, though a bit lethargic, demeanor. Of course, a new nick-name has developed from the whole situation. He is now our little Mr. Spatch-Cocked, beings that he's been lying around like a little spatch-cocked chicken. It's quite darling, really.
Sesame Tofu and Leeks
Inspired by Nava Atlas
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2-3 leeks, dark greens removed
1 pound extra-firm tofu, cubed
4 Roma tomatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons shoyu or soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
4 scallions, sliced thin, to serve
1 heaping tablespoon sesame seeds, to serve
freshly cooked quinoa or soba noodles, to serve
First begin by heating a medium skillet over medium heat. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise, rinse well, and slice into paper-thin half-moons. In the pan, add in 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and 3 tablespoons of water. Toss in the leek slices, toss, and cover. Let saute/steam until bright and tender, about 5 minutes.
Add in the tofu, tomato, shoyu, vinegar, wine, and honey. Toss well to coat the tofu in the sauce and cover. Allow to steam until the tomatoes are just breaking down, about another 5 minutes.
Once done, drizzle with the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil to finish. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve atop hot grains or noodles.
Serves 4-6

My roomПросмотреть новые статьи
30.03.13 Автор: Юрий Александров
I want to tell you something about my room. Fortunately, I have a large amount of living space. I had to live there with another family member (my sister), but several years ago she moved to Novosibirsk. Now she lives and works there. And then, finally, I've had a right to use this room myself. It's not always clean and good looking enough, but I'm proud of it. I have had my walls painted orange and my floor painted green. It sure looks insane, and my guests all think that I should've never designed it on my own, but I don't care. All in all, I've created it's image myself, and I have no concern for such thing as someone's opinion. No doubts I have some posters there. Those are well printed photos of the rock bands I like the most. Those bands are Led Zeppelin, Cure, Black Flag, Electric Light Orchestra and others. There's a family portrait in my room. It s located on the wall. I also have furniture: a huge bed, an awesome table, a special syntethizer table, and a few chairs. It's truly cool having all there items.
And what about electronic devices, you might ask. I have a full kit: a laptop, a TV, a tape recorder, a radio, an air conditioner, and a syntethizer. But I still have something to surprise you with. There s something really special about this place. It's a home recording studio. The thing is I'm definitely into music. And not only I like listening to music I enjoy composing, so my parents considered it interesting to let me be a professional musician at least at a basic level. I have some instruments like electric guitar, bass guitar, an acoustic one, a real piano, drums and others. There's actually special equipment: a mixer, a recorder, a computer with some useful programs installed. It feels so awesome. My ideas can grow into something serious. I promise you that I will become a famous composer and change the world forever.

In Part 1 of this series, we began by examining the theoretical lay of the land. "Race realism" is an extremely important term in the anti-Cathedral discourse, spanning Neoreaction, the "alt-Right" and all its variants ("alt-West" etc.), Human Biodiversity (HBD), and so on. But there is as yet no standard definition of "race realism," so I attempted to provide one. To recap, in brief, race realism is the belief that (a) universals are real; (b) race is a human biological universal; and, optionally, that (c) race has a mystical or trans-empirical existence. I designate "weak" race realism the position that race is a real human biological universal, but that it lacks such trans-empirical existence, in other words holding points (a) and (b) but not (c). Generally speaking, Neoreactionary and "alt-Lite" perspectives tend toward this view, while neo-Nazis and the "alt-White" accept point (c) and are thus categorized as "strong" race realists.
In Part 2 I spoke at some length about the philosophy of universals (like "chair-ness") and particulars (such as a particular chair). The basic point is that, obviously, to be a coherent view, "race realism" necessarily requires that universals are real. This directly touches upon one of the central debates in philosophy, between nominalism—the view that universals do not really exist—and realism. I noted that the Western (Christian) intellectual tradition strongly tends toward realism, but the Buddhist intellectual tradition rejects realism out of hand. Now I turn to the task of formulating a Buddhist-philosophical response to all of these issues.
(One obvious question here is: why bother? This is a great question, and one that I will address in my next series of posts. The short answer is that I believe anti-Cathedral discourse is the single most important intellectual-historical development since at least the end of the Second World War. Most Western Buddhists fully buy into the ideology of the Cathedral, of course, but this is only because most Western Buddhists aren't really Buddhist in any meaningful sense. So, I see the formulation of a Buddhist critique of the Cathedral, as an essential element of my broader critique, both of modernity in general and of Buddhist Modernism specifically. To the extent that the "alt-Right" is arguably the most visible and influential voice currently opposing the Cathedral, I believe it makes sense to start there.)
* * *
Despite all of this rather long and elaborate wind-up, the actual point I would like to make is relatively simple: we do not need to accept the metaphysical reality of universals, in order to benefit from the most salient insights of "race realist" analysis. For example, we can benefit greatly in terms of education policy.
One of my favorite bloggers is a teacher who writes under the name educationrealist. I'd like to zero in on one particular post. In this post, he goes through the numbers to demonstrate that the "achievement gap" between white and black students is best understood as an artifact of IQ distribution, rather than evidence of "systemic racism" or anything along those lines. (Differences in average IQ among racial groups are well-documented, and if you have a problem with this fact, I encourage you to do more research). His conclusion:
If IQ is the root cause of the achievement gap, the vast majority of those low income children with vocabulary deficits have cognitive abilities much lower than average. It would also follow that blacks and Hispanics, on average, have cognitive abilities lower than whites and Asians. Coupling those facts with previous research, it would mean the achievement gap can't be closed with the tools we have at this time.
It would not follow that all poor kids are unintelligent, that "blacks/Hispanics aren't as smart as whites/Asians", or that IQ is genetically linked to race (emphases original).
Now, at a first glance, the second set of conclusions might seem to contradict the first. What else could the statement "blacks and Hispanics, on average, have lower cognitive abilities than whites and Asians" mean, other than "blacks/Hispanics aren't as smart as whites/Asians"? Well, for one thing, it might mean that not every white student is smarter than every black student, but this is obvious and trivial. I think educationrealist is getting at something far more important here, which is why he adds the last conclusion, that IQ is not (necessarily) genetically linked to race. Educationrealist certainly knows that IQ is heritable (i.e., smart parents tend to have smart children). Indeed, this is one of his major points in the linked article. Implicit in this final conclusion, then, are two important points:
(1) The heritability of IQ between particular parents and their children does not entail a universally-valid IQ distribution among parents of similar race.
(2) Statistical distributions, of IQ or anything else, do not constitute prima facie evidence for the existence of race as a metaphysically-real universal.
And here, I think, is the point I have been driving at in this series. It is foolish and irresponsible to pretend that blacks and whites and Asians and Hispanics do not have statistically significant differences in average IQ. Throwing money at the "achievement gap," under the facially ludicrous assumption that better and/or higher-paid teachers can make low-IQ students perform as well on average as high-IQ students, is not going to make it go away. Nor is asserting that this inconvenient truth is solely the result of "systemic racism" and other sociocultural factors, rather than being at least in part due to biology, going to fix anything. On the contrary, any policy response predicated on IQ or HBD denialism is only going to make the problem worse and exacerbate racial tensions.
At the same time, nothing in the preceding necessitates committing to "race realism." Point (2) above is especially important in this regard: at the end of the day, probability distributions (such as the likelihood of having a given IQ) are the integral of many different particular data-points. Now, it is certainly possible to argue that universals are real, and race is a real universal. To continue with the mathematical metaphor, we may treat integrals as discrete objects. However, my point is that we are not obligated to do so, and that there is no straight and clear line from mathematics to philosophy, far less to politics.
In other words, we may notice the racial distribution in IQ, and plan accordingly, without thereby committing to the view that "whiteness" and "blackness" are ultimately real property-universals, or that the "whiteness" universal possesses the sub-property of greater intelligence than certain other race-universals, etc. In fact, we may notice this distribution, and rightly consider it an extremely important fact to guide our practical action in the world, without committing to any explanation of why it exists. It may indeed prove to be the case that sociocultural factors are, in the end, the underlying causal factors driving the differences in IQ distribution. This would not make a whole lot of difference for any individual student currently alive–IQ can change a bit over the course of a lifetime, but only within certain relatively small congenital limits–but would have enormous implications for social policy.
Of course, it could also be the case that the opposite is true, and IQ will prove to be definitively linked to genotype. This would still have very little to do the point I am making, which is that the conceptual utility of "race" as a universal exists whether or not "race" is ultimately real. In other words, even if "science" ends up "proving" that "whites are smarter than blacks," this would still be at most a statistical reality, a conceptual universal superimposed upon actual particular individuals. It would tell us nothing a priori about any of those individuals. It cannot, in principle, serve as evidence for realist metaphysics, about race or anything else.
Dharmakīrti developed an entire theory of language based on a completely nominalist ontology. Now, in Dharmakīrti's view, language necessarily involves the use of universals. However, if we investigate these universals, we find that they only possess a kind of "transactional" (vyavahāra) existence. They're only "real" insofar as they are useful for communication; they aren't ultimately or "really real" (paramārthasat). According to Dharmakīrti, the only things that are really real are particulars. But this did not prevent him from acknowledging the central importance that universals play in our ordinary, day-to-day discourse, or the influence they can exert over our thinking and our lives. The key is to remember that these universals are, at the end of the day, nothing more than figments of our imagination, artifacts of ignorance.

So the knitting and crafting have won out over nature recently. I finally went hiking on my own time (instead of just during work) with my hubbie and housemate to the waterfall. We take kids here often, but my housemate and hubbie had never been, and the only time I went I got lost. I took another stab at it and it was wonderful. It was also a great way to test out the camera!
Here you can see the desert beyond my town, and of course the forest in my town.
We stopped at some great lookout points along the way (that's my super good humored hubbie)
And finally we got to our destination: the waterfall (huge, I know).

As we all know, possibly more than in any other genre, music is super important to how a horror film hits us. What would FRIDAY THE 13TH be without "Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma", or what would HALLOWEEN be without that classic Carpenter score?
Exactly. Well, today Stephen King fansite Lilja's Library is reporting that the composer for the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's monster novel IT, has been chosen!
The new Andres Muschiettit-helmed STEPHEN KING'S IT will sport a score by composer Benjamin Wallfisch. Wallfisch for those who might not be familiar is a top up-and-coming horror composer, having laid down the tracks for such recent hits as A CURE FOR WELLNESS, LIGHTS OUT, and WITHIN. He is also providing the score for the upcoming ANNABELLE 2.
I personally cannot wait to listen to what the new Pennywise theme is going to be. The 90's mini-series theme still creeps me out to this day, and Wallfisch has a way to go before he can top that score.
Something tells me he's up for the task, though.
STEPHEN KING'S IT: PART I thrusts its fist against the posts September 8th.

Recipe Share: The Boursin Steak, My Version of a Macaroni Grill Menu Item, part 2!
Hello my wonderful friends! I realized today that my blog has been taken over by my love for fashion lately!! (Don't expect that to stay gone for long though!) So I decided to mix in a little of my foodie side today. My recipe shares are actually some of my most popular posts so I suppose I should share more often! And apparently I really love this dish because I have shared two different versions of this dish on this blog! Try both, let me know which is your favorite. This dish is something you carnivores can really sink your teeth into. I love a good steak and a "good steak" really shouldn't need anything, more than a little salt to taste good. But I really love to "embellish" steaks too! (Maybe that's my fashion side working yet again.) Luckily since my dad is a sheep and cattle rancher by occupation, we always have ample amounts of delicious meats available for our use. Thanks Dad!! When we would eat out at Macaroni Grill in years past they served a steak called "Boursin Fillet." It was my favorite menu item, I ordered it every time! They have since changed their menu and don't feature this anymore, it's a shame! So whenever I have something at a restaurant that I love, I always try to recreate it at home myself. This recipe is one of my versions of that steak I so loved at Macaroni Grill. For the mushroom gravy sauce I use a Pioneer Woman Recipe, so watch for that link! I start with the charcoal coals, get them going, then I get going on the sides and sauce and when the coals are ready and the sides almost complete then I have "Handy Hubby" grill the steaks. (He's really good at getting them perfect, so I let him be the master of the grill!) I like to serve this steak on a bed of either smashed Cauliflower or Butternut Squash, in this case I did both! For the cauliflower, I steam it until tender, then put it in my mixer and smash it up and then add about a 1/2 stick of cream cheese and salt to taste. For Butternut Squash, I cook it in my oven at 400 degrees in a Pyrex with little water in bottom (covered) until tender. Then I smash it also in my mixer and then add about a 1/4-1/2 stick butter and salt to taste, until smooth. I season my steaks with McCormick Grill Mates, Montreal Steak Seasoning prior to grilling. Now for the sauce part: I like this recipe that comes from the amazing Pioneer Woman, it's her recipe and here's a link: She calls it Steak with Burgundy Mushroom Sauce: Pioneer Woman Link
Once you have your sides done, sauce is done and steak is done, to serve I put a bed of the smashed vegetables down on the plate, lay the steak over them, pour the mushroom sauce over and top with a dollop of Boursin Garlic & Herb Spreadable Cheese. And get your knife ready to dig into this rich and flavorful take on a steak!! Hope you enjoy this recipe and have a fancy foodie day!
To view the other version click here: First Version/Recipe

Steaks, I used bone in rib eye today

Getting ample amount of protein in for breakfast can be a bit of a struggle for a lot of people, in fact it is probably one of my most frequently asked questions 'But what can I have other than cereal or toast?' For me breakfast is just another meal in the day, nothing special, in fact it isn't even the end of the world if you don't have any (but that is a whole other matter!).
So what can you have if you are short on time but want to eat something which is full of protein and goodness? My easy peasy breakfast muffins that's what! They are also super low calorie at under 50 calories per muffin!
These are super quick to whip up and will save for a few days in tupperware in the fridge. I like to make them on a Sunday afternoon to last me a couple of days at the beginning of busy weeks.
You can heat them up in the microwave or eat them cold! Have them for breakfast, mid morning snack or post workout. You can flavour them and fill them with whatever you like. The options are endless!
3 eggs
100g egg whites
30g sliced ham
40g red pepper
50g courgette
50g mushrooms
50g baby spinach
2 spring onions
25g low fat cheese
low calorie cooking spray
Salt and Pepper
How to:
1)Pre heat oven to 200 degrees
2)Chop vegetables and spinach into small pieces
3)Crack 3 eggs into a bowl with the egg whites and combine
4)Spray pan with low calorie cooking spray and add the pepper and onion, cook until soft before adding rest of the vegetables and ham
5)Spray a muffin tray with cooking spray
6)Add the cooked veg to the egg mixture, mix and season well
7)Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin and top with some of the grated cheese
8)Pop into the oven for 18-20mins
9)Check muffins a fully cooked through before removing from pan and allowing to cool on a wire rack
Nutritional information:
Per muffin:
47 calories
5.2g Protein; <1g Carbs; 2.3g Fat
I have also done a Youtube video showing you exactly how to do it which you can find and watch here.
See you next time 🙂

Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, was constructed over a thirty-year period by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter. Hugh de Lacy was granted the Liberty of Meath by King Henry II in 1172 in an attempt to curb the expansionist policies of Richard de Clare, (Strongbow). Construction of the massive three storied Keep, the central stronghold of the castle, was begun c. 1176 on the site of an earlier wooden fortress. This massive twenty-sided tower, which is cruciform in shape, was protected by a ditch, curtain wall and moat.

Given the demands on their time, the ICZN members could probably do without a reprisal of the online versus print naming debate — a debate, remember, that saw the farcical printing to paper of hard copies of online-only papers, which were then handed to libraries to fulfil the exact wording of the code. The Zootaxa authors seem unwilling, or unable, to move on. They have a semantic bee in their bonnet over the code's requirement that species descriptions must be always "available". When the online publishers they contacted explained that, no, they did not routinely supply paper versions of the files on the journal's websites, the authors, rather uncharitably, deemed the information unavailable to them. ---the Nature editorialUhhhh.....cue Indigo Montoya. "Availability" does not mean "I can pick it up at the library" under the Code. To be available is to satisfy all criteria within the Code necessary to be considered for validity, priority, and other things. It is a whole lot more than the location of the published work. For example, a nomina novum, or 'new name', is not available unless the type specimen(s) are referenced explicitly, as well as the location where the types are to be deposited. You forgot to do this? Sorry! Your new name might as well have never been put in the literature for all it means to the Code. Refining the articles on availability means that species descriptions have higher standards, which is considered good by anyone who's tried to wade through the old literature.
Given that Nature failed to understand that, a basic and important concept in the Code, I wondered how much more they were flubbing about the article. So I read it. All 94 pages.
What I discovered was, well, a mess. Oodles of footnotes, most of them irrelevant to the paper. CamelCase, really? Symbols in journal names? Philosophizing about supplementary materials? It doesn't matter if I agree with them or not, this is supposed to be a paper about problems with electronic publication of new names. Then there's the intentional emotive, non-academic language. See the footnote on page 29 for an example. And in all things there's this sort of ivory tower dictatorial outlook, as if their opinions are final. Maybe from the authors' point of view they are. The majority of the authors hail from old European natural history institutions. And there's the fact that Dubois cited himself 38 times in the references.
It's unfortunate that within all this there are some actual relevant criticisms, some of which were not covered in electronic vs. paper debates before the 2012 amendment. For example, some journals mistook the allowance for optical disk deposition (sometimes called the "5-copy rule") to extend to all electronic publications, including PDFs. Which means there are a whole bunch of names between 1999 and 2012 which are not available due to poor reading of the Code. This does not include mixed-model journals like Zootaxa, which publish both an electronic and a printed version with separate identification numbers. In those cases, the printed versions satisfy the Code. The rest, not so much.
There's also criticisms of pre-publication editions (which make establishing date of publication more difficult), publishing of new names in electronic supporting information (which does not fulfill the criteria of availability, even under the 2012 amendment), and the treatment of online checklists as authoritative. All of these are useful criticisms, as is the main (lost) point of the appendixes, namely, that authors and journals don't understand the changes in the 2012 amendment very well. BioMed Central has responded to the authors' complaints, which is understandable as they took the brunt of the criticism. They reference their editorial policies on describing new taxa, which is available for all to see. They also reference the "5-copy rule", saying they followed the Code. (Note: there is no 5-copy rule in the code anymore. Even if this prior rule could have been interpreted to include deposition not in the form of optical disks, all electronic-only publications before 2012 are considered unavailable.) All of this is irrelevant, as they are still publishing unavailable names even now, after the 2012 amendment. Again, I don't blame them for being upset. The Dubois et al. paper was purposefully inflammatory and should be derided as such.
In summary, there are still problems with electronic publishing of names. But this paper will not be remembered for valid criticisms. Instead, it will be another sign that taxonomy has lost sight of the times. As the Nature editorial pointed out, all the recent ICZN news seems to be bad press. Taxonomists look as if we are a bunch of doryphores, interested more in trivial piddly lawyerisms than solving actual problems. Spend some time on the listservs, for example, or read this paper, it's the same. Without change we'll be irrelevant.

What to see?
In this image you can easily see the rotating image of an array of blue crosses, three smaller red dots and a larger one in the middle. Don't stare too much or you will get dizzy! Now: fixate your look on the center, on the green dot that appears and disappears and see what happens. Well, you will notice pretty soon that the other three dots start to vanish from times to time: single, in pairs or all at once. But in reality they all remain in the same place, none of them disappears. This optical illusion is called "motion induced blindness" or MIB. You can try to fixate another dot… the same thing happens, right? And what is more interesting is that the green dot also becomes yellow.
What to do?
You can play a little with the buttons and you will observe that most of the time the changes don't quite appear as we expected.
For instance: You can use the speed slider to change the speed of the rotation. Even if the speed is really slow the disappearance persists. You can also try changing the color of the crosses, the dots and the background and you will still have the disappearance.
How it works?
When you keep your eyes in a chosen place you will notice the phenomena, the disappearance of som dots. But as soon as you move your eyes even a little you will see that they reappear. Why does this happen? When the center of our perception is the green dot the other becomes part of the background and because of the movement and the bright light we tend to minimize the importance of all the other aspects. In an easier way: when we see one or more of the yellow dots, you care conscious of them, you can make them a description, but when they become part of the background they're going out of the state of consciousness. That doesn't mean they stop affecting our brain.
For instance: try to fixate an object near you. You will see that object clean and clear but how about the objects around him? You will see them fader… and that happens only because you interest is oriented on one particular thing. This is not quite an optical illusion is just the perception field.

The standard trunk light on my FFH is pretty lame as to the light level. On my old TCH, I replaced the bulb with a LED stick-on strip. The light assembly on the FFH looks a bit more 'finished', and I like that. The light on the TCH was a plastic 'cage' that allowed the strip LED pigtail to easily go in - on the FFH my choices are to get a single-bulb unit like this, modify the existing housing, or go without the cover. Anyone else increase the trunk lights/switch over to LEDs?

You were first in line at Birdman. You treated your sister to Wild over Christmas. And you've been raving about Boyhood since July.
You've made a decent dent in the Oscars pool so far.
But you couldn't have caught them all. Here's where to see some of the periphery flicks.
Two Days, One Night Marion Cotillard shocked pretty much everyone by edging out Jennifer Aniston for a Best Actress nomination. Judge for yourself at Lincoln Plaza Cinema.
Whiplash While Foxcatcher garnered all the fall buzz, Landmark Sunshine quietly peddled this fast-moving drama about a jazz drummer and his unrelenting instructor. It's now nominated in five categories (including Best Picture).
Mr. Turner Remember that Dick Poop gaffe? Don't let it deter you from seeing the gorgeous (and nominated) cinematography of the British seaside.
Citizenfour A documentary that unfolds like a thriller, this front-runner (about NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden) for its category is thankfully still playing at IFC Center.
All the shorts Be sure to catch the annual roundup of nominated shorts, also at IFC, starting January 30.

How thinking about sleep affects your ability to sleep
Trouble sleeping can becomes something to dwell on and worry about. Doubts trick your mind into becoming its own worst enemy. The key is to stop striving for sleep and straining against it at the same time.
Insomnia can act like quicksand, the more you try to get out of it, the more it sucks you in.

ResultsIn partnership with Avanade, Telenor can now build on a global platform for collaboration.
Telenor estimates that out of 100 Live Meetings, more than 20 of these can be associated with cost and time savings due to less travel and more effective meetings.
Increased efficiency, shared best practices and reduced duplication of work gives Telenor a competitive advantage.
Business SituationThe company wanted to operate in jointly: between teams, between departments and even across national borders. Existing news and collaboration tools were not widely used, and were not integrated, feature rich or scalable to support Telenor's global expansion.
SolutionIn 2007 Avanade was invited as a technology partner to work with Telenor on an organizational change programme, to build a collaboration platform using Microsoft Office
Communication Server® (OCS).
Avanade also set up Microsoft Office Communications Server® 2007 R2. OCS provides instant messaging and presence information so employees can see if a colleague is available or busy. By giving a real-time alternative to email and phone calls, this tool improves communication between individuals and within teams.

Christine was excellent with my two girls! She provided frequent updates, was punctual, and showed my puppers lots of affection. Christine was very flexible and accommodating, and made this a very pleasant first Rover experience. I will definitely book services with Christine again and I highly recommend!
Knowing that Christine was available to help with my dogs mid day brake made my day worry free! She took the time to ask and answer questions before we both committed to her assisting with my dogs. I would highly recommend Christine, she was extremely responsible and took fabulous care of my dogs!
Cristine is excellent with pets! She sees her own dogs as part of the family, and showers them with affection. However, she also understands the importance of boundaries, and is able to maintain obedience. She is the daughter of a veterinarian, so she's had experience with dogs from a very young age. She also worked part-time as a vet tech, so she's been around many dogs that weren't her own. She is an excellent choice ...
About Cristine
Dogs are my passion!
I worked in vet clinics from the time I was 16 until after college. My family has always owned dogs and I believe they are part of the family! I have taken care of friends dogs quite often but this would be the first time sitting professionally. I am very detail oriented and have learned from my dogs how to always keep one eye on what they're doing. My dogs also have very high energy ...

One of the problems with modern society is the amount of information that comes our way, day and night. There's just too much of it, out there. And, it is important to step back a bit and consider this situation. In particular, I want to point out that there is a world of difference between information and knowledge. We don't get knowledge by tuning into our favorite news program or listening to political pundits. No doubt we can occasionally get some useful news from these sources, but how it mostly serves us is to reaffirm to ourselves and comment to others about what's going on in our world -- whether or not what we heard and repeat is true.
What can bring knowledge to our existence are actual people around us, day-to-day and -- yes, and just as in the past -- books. Even in these days of 24-7 Internet access and TV programming, books continue to be the real deal. Books, good books, beckon to us -- to put our feet up and read, quieting out all that uproar that characterizes our daily life, and permit us an hour or so of reflection on ideas. Some of the ideas from these books have changed our lives at some point or, in the case of a very few books, are the ones that we go back to and reread one or more times.
My search for lifetime books
Since I was a child, I've always been reading one or more books at any given time. Along with novels and current non-fiction, I try to have an inspirational book at my bedside. And I challenge myself to pick it up and read a just a chapter of that book from time to time. Of course, not all the really good books are easy reading, but the content of these books is what makes them worthy of careful study.
I recently spent some time on the Internet, reading the lists of life changing books of many people - the famous and not so famous, the well educated and not so well educated. There were dozens of lists of top 100 books, and a lot of different books were mentioned.
When I thought up this scenario, I felt confident that I could choose my list of 10 books easily. But, when I tried to come up with a list, I realized that this was a tough challenge. To choose just a few great books, those that most have influenced my ideas, took a lot of reflection. However, I came up with a list. I've decided to share with you a few of the books that have shaped the way I think, and helped me to grow as a spiritual and social being. Without any reservation, I would highly recommend all of them to you.
Sifting through the rubbish is fairly easy, but settling on only ten books of perhaps a hundred or more excellent ones is a real test. But here's my first try at ten books. These are the books, and not necessarily in order, that have really opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and seeing the world. They have broadened my view or the world, and I hope to reread all of them again – some again and again -- before I close my eyes a final time.
First and foremost is the Bible. It represents my faith. It has to be with me wherever I go. Through it, I find knowledge of God's plan for humankind and for me, personally. It offers me comfort and strength.
What follows are nine others of great merit, at least in my life, and I believe would be invaluable, being read again and again in my "island home".
Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda
To Be Human, Jiddu Krishnamurti
Voluntary Simplicity, Duane Elgin.
Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, James Lovelock.
The Life of Mahatma Ghandi, Louis Fischer
A Simple Path, Mother Teresa
You have found out that you are going to be on an island for the rest of your life - far from the cares of our early 21st century culture. Let's say that the island provides your basic necessities - coconuts, fish, fruits, and root vegetables, and that there are no enemies or large wild animals running around. So, you will be able to sit, reflect, and meditate as much as you like. Also, there is a community of people on the island, some like you and others a bit different. So, even on your island, you haven't escaped your interaction and duties to your fellow islanders.
Well, luckily you knew you were going to take this final trip and took a few essentials with you. Among the things that you took are some books. Unfortunately, you were only permitted one trunk with everything that could be carried to your island. So, there was room for only 10 books. You know that there will be no more opportunities to buy or obtain books.
So, under the conditions outlined above, here's my challenge to you today. What 10 books would you want to take with you to your island home?
The 10 books you carry with you, should be stories, essays or poems, or collections that have intrinsic value. They should have shaped or be capable of shaping the way you think and how you live. And since, in this challenge, you won't ever be returning to the place where you are now, where there are any number of bookstores and book clubs, you need to have chosen the very best. So, the knowledge, the impact or the inspiration of these books has to be universal. It needs to be just as useful in your new existence on an island, as it was in your busier former life.
Note: Please send me your list of ten, or incomplete list of book titles that you would include, or make a comment on my list. That way, we can share, compare, and help each other to find those marvelous books that make it worthwhile to be alive on the earth at this time.
