Govern GISView is a Web-based application that acts as a front end for querying and viewing MS Govern databases that have been synchronized with an Esri Geo database. Govern GISView harnesses the power of ArcGIS Server's mapping, geocoding and geoprocessing capabilities.
Users that create GIS maps with Esri's ArcEditor that reside in an Esri GeoDatabase can now have this data synchronized with an MS Govern database. With Esri's ArcGIS Server software, GIS data is distributed through services over the Web.
The principal function of Govern GISView is to let you easily to view, directly select, or query a database with GIS information using a map as an interface. The map lets users of the Govern system visually select their parcels and retrieve related information.
Govern GISView is complete with the navigation tools required to interact with a GIS map such as zooming, panning, and measurement tools for linear distances and areas. You can also create bookmarks for returning to views of interest, and perform spatial selection queries with a variety of drawing tools. You can generate query results and reports in the application with the installation of Crystal Reports runtime. Query results obtained from Governs' external tables can be imported into Govern GISView. Results from Govern GISView can be exported to Microsoft ExcelTM or transferred to Govern's external tables for further use in Govern's Land Management and Govern Property Appraisal modules.
When GISView is accessed through Govern, it zooms to and displays the parcel(s) selected within the Govern Software. In addition to tabular search queries, GISView allows for a variety of spatial selections tools (point, rectangle, circle, polygon, etc.) in which to select or edit parcel record sets. Through user-defined queries, users can view:

WASHINGTON, September 26, 2012 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced support for projects to create jobs and improve the quality of life in rural communities in 25 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
"The Obama administration is committed to helping eligible rural communities obtain reliable emergency equipment and provided vital services," said Vilsack. These projects will help rural communities, protect the safety of residents and create a framework for job creation and economic growth."
The more than $5 million in funding announced today will support 127 projects through USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities Program. For example, the City of Dermott, Arkansas, will receive $450,000 in loan and grant funds to construct a new fire department building. Lake County, Michigan, was selected to receive $56,300 in funds to replace three high mileage sheriff's department vehicles. The village of Raymondville, Missouri, will receive almost $15,000 to install a storm warning system. Wisconsin's Lake Holcombe School District will receive $40,000 to remodel a science classroom and bring it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
A complete list of Community Facilities projects announced today can be found at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/SupportDocuments/rdCFChart.pdf. Funding for each project is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the loan, grant or loan/grant agreement.
States receiving funding include: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, West Virginia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
USDA's Community Facilities program provides loans and grants for essential community facilities for public use in rural areas. These facilities include child care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted-living facilities, fire and rescue stations, police stations, community centers, public buildings and transportation. Through this program, USDA ensures that such facilities are available to all rural residents. These funds are available to public bodies, non-profit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes. More information about the Community Facilities Program can be found at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/Reports/rdCFReportMay31-2012.pdf.

President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy and strengthening small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of existing Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $170 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

Speechwriter Jeff Porro profiles American Red Cross President Gail McGovern in his "Tough Talk for Hard Times" blog this week, highlighting her recent address to the National Press Club in the video above. Porro notes that when she took the job just over a year ago:
... the easiest problem she faced was how to close an operating deficit of $209 million within two years.I'm glad to have the chance to help Jeff highlight the speaking skills of this remarkable eloquent woman. What do you think of her persuasiveness?
The really tough problems included (in her own words) "eight named hurricanes and tropical storms … a record tornado season, the worst wildfires in California history and the worst flooding in the Midwest in 15 years." Oh yeah, and she took the job just before an historic economic meltdown that made more people want Red Cross help, and fewer people want to make contributions.

This Sept. 27 courtroom drawing shows Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in court on probation violation charges in Los Angeles.
A California man who was behind an anti-Muslim film that spurred violent protests in the Middle East was sentenced on Wednesday to one year in prison for violating the terms of his probation stemming from a 2010 bank fraud conviction.
Mark Basseley Youssef, a 55-year-old Egyptian-American, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Christina Snyder after he admitted four of eight alleged violations including obtaining a fraudulent California driver's license.
Youssef served most of a 21-month prison term in the bank fraud case. Federal authorities wanted Youssef to serve two years for the violations.
A judge denied bail for the alleged producer of an anti-Muslim film that sparked Mideast outrage. He was arrested for violating probation from a bank fraud conviction. KNBC's Beverly White reports.
None of the violations had to do with the content of "Innocence of Muslims," a 13-minute film that mocks the prophet Mohammad as a religious fraud, pedophile and a womanizer. The movie sparked a torrent of violence in Libya and other parts of the Middle East, and dozens died.
Federal authorities have said they believe Youssef is responsible for the film, but they haven't said whether he was the person who posted it online. He also wasn't supposed to use any name other than his true legal name without the prior written approval of his probation officer.
At least three names have been associated with Youssef since the film trailer surfaced — Sam Bacile, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and Youssef. Bacile was the name attached to the YouTube account that posted the video.

|Daniel Edward...my new cuddly little munchkin
I must be suffering from Mommy-brain recently. I spent so much time doing everything else this week and this weekend that I forgot to write a post to celebrate my littlest one's sixth birthday on his birthday! I guess I can use the excuse that we were spending the weekend celebrating his birthday so it's not as though he was forgotten.
If you've followed my blog at all recently you'll know that I just posted about my oldest son's birth only two weeks ago. This time of year is always busy for us because they are 5 years and 2 weeks apart. It wasn't planned that way when we decided to have children, it just worked out that way. I was in the Army when I had my first child and was still in when I got pregnant with my second.
I'm sure you're wondering about the title of this blog post. It wasn't as simple as, I got pregnant and got out. I would have loved to stay in, but it became impossible to. I guess I want my descendants to understand why I got out when I had my second child because it was complicated. I volunteered for Drill Sergeant duty which is usually a two year tour of duty and you can extend to three years with permission. By the time I became a Drill Sergeant the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were well underway. This meant that everyone was deploying and then being stabilized immediately following deployment, so all of the Drill Sergeants were involuntarily extended to that final third year. We had a great a great cadre, so this wasn't horrible news to us, but we were all getting tired and had been looking forward to the end of our tours when we would be able to choose our follow-on assignment.
|I was almost in tears when I said goodbye to the Soldiers
I was livid. My Battalion Commander was a complete and utter waste of oxygen that hated Drill Sergeants so he was unwilling to help. I'm sure he was relishing the whole thing inside. I think the man was beaten up in Basic Training or somehow made to look bad by a Drill Sergeant at some point in his military career with how he negatively fixated on us.
Anyway, the problem that I had with where my husband was being stationed was that there was no job for me. Sure they would have found a job for me, but it would not have been in my Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and most likely not in my pay grade. I had a serious problem with this because I had made the list for Sergeant First Class in just under 8 years and pinned in under 9. This has become much more commonplace now, but when I was in, this was fast-tracking and I didn't want my career to be hindered by a bad assignment.
There was an additional problem too though. My husband and I put off having more children so that I could be a Drill Sergeant. Despite the wars going on, our intent was to go to a quiet assignment after Drill duty so we could have more children. Sure I could go to this new duty station and serve in a position that would be less than beneficial, but if I were pregnant I would be looked upon as the person that showed up pregnant to get out of deploying. While anyone that knew me would know that this wasn't true, part of the problem when you go to a new duty station is that you most likely aren't going to be known. I couldn't stand to be looked at as someone that was trying to get out of combat. That would absolutely tick me off. The thought of being looked at like a dirt ball was horrifying.
|My de-hatting. Goodbye Drill Sergeant hat...
I was given the option of going to San Antonio without my husband. He could request to be stationed with me a year later. Yeah, that kind of makes getting pregnant difficult when one person is in Texas and the other in Kentucky, so we moved up our plans. I played a gamble that if I were pregnant they wouldn't separate us. We rolled the dice. I got pregnant. I faxed my pregnancy profile/diagnosis to my Branch Manager. He was hopeful that it would work. He told my hubby's
Wrong. Family comes first with us, and we now had a baby on the way. We knew that this was a possibility (although we didn't really think it would come to it), and I had my commander begin my separation paperwork. I was relieved that we were now going to stay together. I was ecstatic that we were having another baby, but I was absolutely devastated that my career was gone.
I had worked so hard and the Army had become my life. I was a hard-charging, butt-kicking Army chick and I had succeeded at almost everything that I tried during my career. I had awesome mentors, and I felt like I had let every single one of them down.
All (except one) of my friends and mentors told me that they weren't upset and that they understood my decision, but even though I had their support, I still felt that I had somehow betrayed them. To top it all off making the transition from Senior Noncommissioned Officer to Spouse was a shock I wasn't prepared for.
I was used to walking into the commissary or PX in my uniform. I was a part of the military system. Now, when I walked into a commissary or talked to someone it was always, "Who's your husband?" Yes, sexism prevailed and I was no longer looked at as someone that might have my own accomplishments, but just a spouse. Is there something wrong with being a spouse? Absolutely not! But I wanted to just scream out that I had my own successes. I didn't want to live only by who my husband was. I wanted to yell at everyone that looked at me like I was "just a stay-at-home mom" that I had been a Drill Sergeant. That I had been a Senior NCO! After years of counseling (and I'm not really joking about that) I was able to come to terms with my decision to leave. My decision to leave? No our decision to leave. My husband and I are a team in everything and we knew it was the right choice for our family.
|...Hello cowboy hat. I tried to keep a sense of humor!
I wouldn't change a thing about being in the Army. It was such an awesome experience. I hope that I made a difference in some of my Soldiers' lives as my mentors had made in mine. I made awesome friends when I was in, and I met my husband because I served. I can look back now, and even though it still gives me pangs of sadness in my chest when I remember having to leave (and I felt that I HAD to leave to preserve my family), I feel no regrets. Everything in our lives happens for a reason. The good, and the not so good. You just have to make the most of it...and hey, someday my grandkids will be able to say "Grandma not only wore combat boots, but a Drill Sergeant hat too!"...Not everyone can say that one!
[The story of my second son's birth and the story of me leaving the Army are tied together, and both are things I want passed on for generations, but I don't want what might seem a "bad" event in leaving the military to be tied to my son's birth, because his birth was anything but bad! So I will reserve the remainder of this post for next time when I can talk about the joy of his arrival.]

Remember when getting a hot pizza delivered to your door felt special? (OK, it still does.) Now you can spice up that pie with regular deliveries of hot sauce, or
Remember when getting a hot pizza delivered to your door felt special? (OK, it still does.) Now you can spice up that pie with regular deliveries of hot sauce, or subscribe to nonfood items like neckties, razors, underwear, makeup, dog toys, mystery books " even slime.
These subscription-box services can allow you to try out new types of goods and bypass shopping errands. They can also wind up costing you a lot of money. Here's how to keep spending on subscription boxes in check.Before you buy a subscription
Identify your motive. Consider whether aggressive marketing has swayed you toward a subscription you wouldn't have otherwise bought. Ads for trendy services may show up repeatedly in social media and targeted emails, and constant exposure can be persuasive.
'We only have so much resolve,' says Kit Yarrow, consumer psychologist and author of 'Decoding the New Consumer Mind: How and Why We Shop and Buy.' 'When we say 'no' to ourselves five times, we feel better about saying 'yes' the sixth time.' The idea of getting packages in the mail has quite a pull, too.
Before you sign up, 'identify a reason [for subscribing] beyond the allure of having something delivered to your door,' says Nicole Leinbach Reyhle, founder of Retail Minded, an industry blog and publication, and an author of 'Retail 101: The Guide to Managing and Marketing Your Retail Business.'
For example, the subscription may save you money or time, like diaper deliveries for busy parents. Or maybe a service exposes you to products that are unavailable in your area, like designer clothes, Reyhle says. If you feel good about your reasoning, then it's time to do some homework.
Scrutinize the service. Research as much as possible about a subscription before committing. This homework can come in handy when choosing between multiple subscription services that deliver similar products.
Examine the terms to see if you can cancel at any time or if signing up means you're on the hook for a year, Reyhle says. Services that offer a free trial get bonus points.
Read reviews. Look for customer reviews on the service's website, Facebook page and Yelp, Reyhle says. For Yelp, you may have better luck searching 'razor subscription Yelp' or 'Dollar Shave Club Yelp' on Google rather than searching within the Yelp website. Try the same for reviews on Reddit by Google-searching the product or subscription name, along with 'Reddit.'Once you've subscribed
Evaluate the value of each delivery. When you subscribe to a service, you typically agree to have your credit or debit card charged automatically for each new delivery. As Yarrow puts it, you don't feel the 'pain of payment' for each box, like you would if you had to locate your wallet, pull out your card or cash and agree to its cost. '[Subscribers] logically know they're paying for this product,' she says. 'But, emotionally, it feels like they're getting free goodies in the mail.'
Then 'inertia sets in,' Yarrow says. You continue the subscription because, well, you've already subscribed.
To fight this mindless spending, set a reminder for a few months into the service 'to reevaluate the benefit of the subscription,' Yarrow says. Or try treating each new box as a 'fresh spending experience,' she says, and ask yourself if its contents were worth the monthly cost. 'The minute you have doubt,' she says, 'take action.'
Prepare to cancel. Even if you have doubts about the value of your subscription box, canceling is just no fun. 'We don't like spending time doing things that don't give us immediate rewards,' Yarrow says.
So if it helps, bring on the rewards. For example, promise yourself ice cream or a bubble bath if you unsubscribe. You deserve a treat for making a smart money decision.
After all, you probably only need so many makeup samples, hot sauces or pairs of underwear. Whatever product you've subscribed for, 'in most situations, eventually you have enough,' Yarrow says. 'Sooner than [consumers] think, they're going to have to pull the plug.'

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
This winter will see the return of two of last year's breakout artists — Big Sean and Bruno Mars. In recent days, both upstarts have announced details of their sophomore albums, both due later this year.
Grammy-nominated doo-wop crooner Bruno Mars has been in the studio "recording and writing whatever I want," he revealed in a recent interview with Billboard. The fruits of that liberated labor, a new LP titled Unorthodox Jukebox, will hit stores on December 11.
"This album represents my freedom," he said.
The follow-up to 2010's Doo-Wops and Hooligans will feature production by Mark Ronson, Diplo, Jeff Bhasker and Mars' own group, The Smeezingtons, who also serve as executive producers.
Big Sean, meanwhile, has finally revealed the title for his own album number two after teasing the project in interviews for months. At a concert in Montreal last week, Sean revealed that the album will be called Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player.
"I decided to call my second album Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player 'cause we all strive to be the best," he told the crowd. "If you don't do it to be the best, I don't know why the f--k you do it. Hall of Fame is coming out for ya'll this winter."
In a recent interview with Complex, Sean said the still-gestating project was getting positive feedback from his peers.
"When I was playing it for Common, he was losing his mind. J. Cole was blown away," he said. "It really is elevating, taking it to a different level. I don't even want to hype it up or talk too much like, 'Yeah, my album is the s--t!' I just can't wait for everyone to hear what I've been doing, what I've been cooking up."
A hard release date for the album hasn't yet been confirmed.

King Jokkum is the lord of the ice giants and the leader of the Sons of Hodir. He resides in the Sons' home base of Dun Niffelem in the Storm Peaks, along with his frostworg companion, Oloh.
Jokkum's father, Arngrim the Insatiable, had been King of the ice giants when Thorim, once their greatest ally, suddenly turned on them. The Stormlord had been tricked by his brother, Loken, into thinking that the frost giants were responsible for the death of Thorim's wife Sif. Many long years later, when Thorim was roused from his stupor by players, the Stormlord decided to set things right and restore his friendship with the frost giants. Over the course of several quests, Jokkum and his brethren aid the player in restoring Thorim's armor and weapon to him, and ultimately sends them on their final showdown with Loken in Ulduar's Halls of Lightning.
Jokkum is involved in the following quests:

Incensed by the idea that Iowans might soon be able to make their own food choices when it comes to fresh dairy products, Daniel H. Gervich, M.D., a board-certified infectious diseases and critical care medicine doctor from Des Moines, Iowa, recently declared that feeding raw milk to babies is "child endangerment."
This outlandish claim, which was part of a recent rant he made against raw dairy published in the Des Moines Register, infers that mothers who feed their babies raw milk are abusing their children. And should anything negative happen to these children during the time in which they are drinking raw milk, their parents should apparently be held criminally responsible in Dr. Gervich's view.
The editorial was published in response to the proposition of House Study Bill 585, a bill that would undo the State of Iowa's highly-restrictive laws against any sale or transfer of raw milk. If passed, H.S.B. 585 would allow farmers to sell raw milk and raw dairy products directly to customers from the farm, or have it delivered, without restrictions, to customers' homes (http://coolice.legis.state.ia.us).
Demand for raw dairy all across the country is soaring as individuals learn about the health benefits of raw milk, including how lactose intolerance is not an issue when drinking raw milk. But in many states, including in Iowa, sales of raw milk are strictly prohibited, which is why legislation like H.S.B. 585 is being introduced everywhere.
But attempts to re-legalize access to raw milk continue to be met by outmoded superstition, bad science, and blatant misinformation campaigns designed to protect the filthy dairy industry from the threat of a burgeoning raw dairy market. After all, small-scale farmers can earn a much better living selling clean, pastured raw milk to their customers independently rather than be forced to process their milk into the standardized dairy pool, where they earn a mere fraction of the profits.
"Dr. Gervich's overused soundbite simply serves as a perfect example of the establishment attempting to wreak fear in the hearts of all parents that their children might be removed from their home if they do not agree with the prevailing medical or nutritional model consistent with medical, industry, government, (and) stakeholder made up standards," wrote Eileen Dannemann, director of theNational Coalition of Organized Women, in response to Dr. Gervich's editorial.
"Does the Doctor, unschooled in nutrition, plan on calling Child Protective Services for 'child endangerment' on those mothers who seek unadulterated, un-homogenized, un-pasteurized farm fresh milk from a sister species as a substantially equivalent substitute?"

The following statement, published on 30 January 2020, explains the Moroccan judiciary's threat to close the revolutionary socialist newspaper and website, al-Mounadil-a ("the Militant"). As the al-Mounadil-a editorial board suggests below, such threats are parts of a wider attack by the state against the the left and progressive forces in the country.
While the historic strike movement at the SNCF has been going on for almost 60 days, senators and the SNCF are hand in hand to try to break this movement by any means necessary.

Small Ala. Town to Keep Bible Verses on Welcome Signs
A small town in Alabama has decided to put up welcome signs that have Bible verses despite questions about the constitutionality of the signs brought up by a national atheist organization.
Town council members in Sylvania, Ala., voted unanimously on Tuesday to replace the four signs that former mayor Mitchell Dendy had removed two weeks ago before he resigned.
In April, Dendy received a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based atheist organization, which said the local government was using the signs to endorse Christianity and as such they were unconstitutional. The signs said "Sylvania Welcomes You" and "Ephesians 4:5 – One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism."
After receiving the letter, Dendy had the signs removed without the support of the town's council. WAAY in Dallas reports that, prior to his resignation, Dendy was also fired from his job as Dekalb County Jail administrator due to sexual harassment and misconduct allegations.
Max Turner, the current acting mayor of Sylvania, told The Christian Post on Wednesday that the town's council voted unanimously to overturn Dendy's decision so that the signs, or at least ones like them, can be restored to their proper places.
Before the council even had an opportunity to vote on the issue, however, the town's residents took it upon themselves to show how important the signs were to them. Turner says he received about 100 phone calls from upset residents, and other council members received a number of calls as well.
Many residents even put up signs of their own in their yards, Turner says, as a way of showing that they value having the Bible verse on the town's signs.
"They're just going to put them all over town, because we feel like we need to be able to worship our Lord," said Turner.
FFRF Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott explained in his letter to Dendy why he believes a Bible verse shouldn't be allowed on the signs.
"The Sylvania 'welcome' signs are not welcoming; they affiliate the government with one religion, Christianity, and exclude others. The endorsement of the tenets of one religion on government signs is unconstitutional," Elliott wrote.
He later added, "The message on the Sylvania signs is more egregious than in other cases. The signs quote a Christian bible passage which restates fundamental beliefs of many Christians. This goes well beyond the religious symbolism that courts have struck down in other cases. It is reprehensible for a Town to endorse the Christian bible and instruct travelers of its teachings."
Dendy allegedly had the signs removed because he was concerned that the town couldn't afford to defend against a lawsuit, WAAY reports.
Tom Brejcha, president and chief counsel of Thomas More Society, says the town of Sylvania has a better chance of proving the constitutionality of their signs if they can show there is a strong Christian history in the town.
"These things are defensible when put into a historical context. This is probably a town founded by Christians and it has a strong Christian heritage," Brejcha told The Christian Post on Wednesday.
The Thomas More Society is a national public interest law firm that often works with religious liberty cases. Brejcha says he is familiar with the FFRF, and he says they have a fundamental misunderstanding of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"[They] are of the mistaken view that the First Amendment guarantees us freedom from religion, which is wrong," he asserted. "The truth is that it stands for freedom of religion, and that's a distinction that's lost on them."

One who got his start with Dusty Baker was Jeff Brantley. We then acquired Brantley from the Giants. Anyone recall what Brantley has said about Baker this year?
Again though, I ask folks to name other pitchers who were ruined by Baker. I'm not saying there aren't, but I don't know them off the top of my head. It may well be that Baker's pitcher use hastened what was inevitable with Prior and Wood and now he carries this rep as a destroyer of pitchers.

SNOW HILL — As part of continuing efforts to clean up Worcester County, the County Commission agreed this week to move forward with three different demolitions of properties considered nuisances.
All three properties had previously been slated for demolition. In each case, however, obstacles arose that persuaded the commission to alter the approach at last week's meeting.
In the case of two nuisance properties in Newark, 8205 and 8213 Newark Road, demolition had been requested and approved earlier in the year. Originally, the commission decided to use the demolitions as training exercises.
"As a result of that discussion, the commissioners agreed that training exercises by controlled burning would be their preferred method for removal of dilapidated structures in nuisance abatement cases throughout the county," said Director of Development Review and Permits Ed Tudor in a memo to the commission.
Tudor explained that while the Newark Fire Company was interested in the opportunity to conduct training exercises and was willing to demolish the structures, it was determined that power lines on the property might be damaged if the buildings were burned. Subsequent talks with Delmarva Power revealed that it would cost the county an estimated $20,000 to have the lines relocated.
"Given this high cost to move the lines, I respectfully request that the County Commissioners allow us to abate the nuisances by simply tearing down the structures instead of having them burned," Tudor said.
Public Works Director John Tustin confirmed that his department would be able to tear down the structures easily, as they were small, and demolition could be done at a fraction of the cost of moving the lines with the only cost being man-hours.
A third property located in Snow Hill, Pusey's Store, has come before the commission repeatedly over the last several months. Singled-out as a public hazard and nuisance last autumn, demolition on the structure has been delayed due to the insistence by owners that the nuisance would be abated. However, earlier this summer after a final deadline had been broken, the commission voted to move ahead with demolition.
Tudor returned this week to report that only one contractor out of the original three who completed a different, recent demolition had returned a bid for the Pusey's Store project and that the bid "exceeds the $10,000 threshold for formal bidding." Tudor recommended that because of the lack of interest and the fact that Pusey's Store is not in immediate danger of collapse the commission solicit formal bids for the work.
The commissioners voted unanimously to move ahead with all of Tudor's recommendations.

Soul Lyrics
I don't need to wait for somebody
just to call my own, let them take what is left of me
I just need to find my soul…
When the lights go out am I all alone?
Live it up, while you wait for it.
Live it up, lose a day for it.
And I know that it goes without saying
that modern complexion is irrelevant here.
That the only means of air flow is brought by the scent of your hair.
That candlelight serves better on the inside, not out.
That the square engulfs the circle like the scream engulfs the shout.
I'm made of stone.
Medicate the unknown.
Serve me in small piece so you'll never eat alone.
You hold on to a fraction of the pigmentation that was left behind.
Rubble built on lies.
And I know that we were happy well before it was said that involuntary motion
never felt so bad.
Tasting every notion of my writers block is just cause of effect of staring
at this clock.
Now I'm walking to the ocean, looking to the sea…
Praying it will drown my sorry with whats left of me.
Fill my lungs, now there's nothing left to say.

Thuken Losang Chökyi Nyima (1737–1802) was among the most cosmopolitan and prolific Tibetan Buddhist masters of the late eighteenth century. Hailing from the "melting pot" region of Amdo, he was Mongol by heritage, and educated in Gelukpa monasteries. Throughout his life, he traveled widely in east and inner Asia, spending significant time in Central Tibet, Amdo, inner Mongolia, and at the Qing court in Beijing. He served as abbot of several important monasteries, and wrote hundreds of texts on Buddhist thought and practice, the most enduring and influential of which is the Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems.
"An impressive translation of a fascinating and vitally important book. Its broad scope and keen observation makes it an invaluable resource."—Guy Newland, Central Michigan University, author of Introduction to Emptiness

The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems, by Thuken Losang Chökyi Nyima (1737–1802), is arguably the widest-ranging account of religious philosophies ever written in pre-modern Tibet. Like most Tibetan texts on philosophical systems, this work covers the major schools of India, both Buddhist and non-Buddhist, but then goes on to discuss in detail the entire range of Tibetan traditions as well, with separate chapters on the Nyingma, Kadam, Kagyü, Shijé, Sakya, Jonang, Geluk, and Bön schools. Not resting there, Thuken goes on to describe the major traditions of China—Confucian, Daoist, and the multiple varieties of Buddhist—as well as those of Mongolia, Khotan, and even Shambhala. The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems is unusual, too, in its concern not just to describe and analyze doctrines, but to trace the historical development of the various traditions. The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems is an eloquent and erudite presentation exploring the religious history and philosophical systems of an array of Asian Cultures—and offering evidence that the serious and sympathetic study of the history of religions has not been a monopoly of Western scholarship.

The Six Perfections
The six perfections are the actions of the bodhisattvas—holy beings who have transcended selfless concerns. But they're also skills we can and should develop right now, in our messy, ordinary lives.
In this clear, comprehensive guide to the backbone of Mahayana Buddhist practice, Lama Zopa Rinpoche walks us through each of the six perfections:
- charity
- morality
- patience
- perseverance
- concentration
- wisdom
As he carefully describes each perfection, he not only reveals the depth of its meaning and how it intertwines with each other perfection, but he also explains how to practice it fully in our everyday lives—offering concrete ways for us to be more generous, more patient, more wise. With the guidance he gives us, we can progress in our practice of the perfections until we, like the bodhisattvas, learn to cherish others above ourselves.
"The perfections are the practices of bodhisattvas, holy beings who have completely renounced the self; they have transcended selfish concerns and cherish only others. Each perfection is perfect, flawless. Each arises from bodhichitta and is supported by the other perfections, including the wisdom of emptiness. Because of that, a bodhisattva generates infinite merit every moment, whether outwardly engaged in working for others or not. A bodhisattva's bodhichitta never stops."
—Lama Zopa Rinpoche
The Rice Seedling Sutra
One of Tibet's great scholars presents the Buddha's profound teachings on the laws of karma and dependent arising.
In the Rice Seedling Sutra, the Buddha unpacks the law of cause and effect. He notes how in the natural world, a seed becomes a sprout, which produces a flower, which bears fruit. A seed has no intention to sprout; when the right conditions are assembled the fruit arises. Similarly, when our senses encounter an object, a sense consciousness arises naturally, without our intending it. This, says the Buddha, is also how karma works and how actions performed out of ignorance create suffering, whether we want it or not. And this same law of causality also governs enlightenment—when the right conditions are assembled, awakening is assured.
In many sutras like this one, the Buddha explains that to understand his Dharma is to understand dependent arising. Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe explores dependent arising, and the corollary teaching of emptiness, through this sutra and others. Commenting on the works of Indian masters such as Śāntarakṣita, he shows how belief in a creator god is incompatible with dependent arising, and by illuminating the teachings of Nāgārjuna and Candrakīrti, he shows how we do—and do not—exist.
Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe was among the last generation of scholars to be trained in Tibet before the Chinese occupation. He has been teaching Westerners for decades, having worked with top scholars in the United States, and he is especially familiar with this sutra, having translated the commentary by Kamalaśīla into Hindi. Here his deep familiarity, combined with his extensive command of the Buddhist scriptures, allows him to present the Buddha's words in a rich and authoritative context.
The Vajra Rosary Tantra
The Vajra Rosary Tantra (Śrī Vajramālā Vyākhyā Tantra) is one of the most significant and detailed tantras attributed to the Buddha, in his emanation as Vajradhara. It instructs a practitioner how to overcome the 108 energies and their related instinctual conceptions that circulate in the subtle body and mind and drive continued rebirth in cyclic existence, in order to attain the freedom of enlightenment. One of the explanatory tantras of the Buddhist Esoteric Community (Guhyasamāja) Tantra, its unexcelled yoga tantric system is among the most advanced systems described in Tibetan Buddhist literature. It mainly focuses on the final stage of Buddhist tantric practice, the perfection stage by means of which a person is said actually to become a buddha.
There is no more authoritative endorsement than that of the great Tibetan renaissance scholar, Lama Tsong Khapa, who strongly recommended the Vajra Rosary Tantra as follows: "Nāgārjuna, in condensing the perfection stage into the five stages, follows this tantra; he also follows it regarding the creation stage three samadhis, four yogas, thirty-two deities, and so forth. . . . It explains the many stages of creation and dissolution of the body in terms of the channel structure, wind energy movement, and enlightenment-spirit substance as a factor in the decisive ascertainment of the internal and external life-energy controls for bringing forth the four voids and the magic body, depending on . . . the hidden discipline of desire and of the vajra recitation . . . and the limitless ways for the dawning of realization. . . . It seems that such excellent elucidation is rarely seen."
Beyond Tranquility
Beyond Tranquility is an invitation to inner experience. In these pages, one of Buddhism's most respected scholar-sages creatively distills decades of practice, reflection, and teaching into essential truths. Touching on the full scope of core Buddhist philosophical and meditation traditions, Charles Genoud draws on ancient Buddhist suttas, masters like Nagarjuna and Dogen, and even seers and philosophers such as Eckhart, Nietzsche, and Sartre, as well as the great innovators of the modern novel and modern dance. Weaving together the wisdom of these great minds in a poetic style uniquely his own, Genoud invites you into the heart of Buddhist meditation and practice. Here, with the immediacy and wry humor of haiku, he proves an astute and subtle guide to the pitfalls and paradoxes that eventually confront every meditator, and to the most skillful ways through them.
Genoud's powerful, experiential language transmits the meditative experience rather than merely describing it—and his style will resonate with the teachings of Zen and Dzogchen, the writings of contemplative philosophers, and with dancers and other artists whose work is built upon a "body of presence."
Luminous Melodies
Presented here for the first time in English is a collection of dohās, or songs of realization, carefully and thoughtfully selected and translated from the large compendium the Indian Texts of the Mahāmudrā of Definitive Meaning, which was compiled by the Seventh Karmapa and drawn primarily from the Tengyur.
Beautiful, profound, and often outrageous, these verses were frequently composed spontaneously and thus have a moving sense of freedom, openness, and bliss. They range from summaries of the entire path of Mahāmudrā to pithy four-liners that point directly to the buddha within us. The authors include famous masters such as Saraha and Nāropā, ḍākinīs, kings, and also courtesans and cobblers—showing that realization is accessible to all of us, right here in our lives.
The Essence of the Vast and Profound
The Essence of the Vast and Profound will soon find its place as one of the greatest lamrim commentaries ever given.
Drawn from teachings by Pabongkha Rinpoche, which were given over the course of thirty-six days in 1934 in Tibet's capital city of Lhasa, The Essence of the Vast and Profound masterfully weaves together Tsongkhapa's Middle-Length Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, the Second Panchen Lama's Swift Path, and the Third Dalai Lama's Essence of Refined Gold. Rinpoche offers wise and compassionate guidance on such crucial subjects as how to rely on a spiritual teacher, how to develop certainty on the path, what it means to take refuge, how to understand karma, and the importance of compassion—explaining the entire spectrum of the Buddhist path, and also inspiring the reader to follow it.
Sera Monastery
The definitive history of Sera Monastery, one of the great monastic universities of Tibet, from its founding to the present.
Founded in 1419, Sera Monastery was one of the three densas, the great seats of learning of the Geluk school of Tibetan Buddhism. With over 9,000 monks in residence in 1959, it was the second largest monastery in the world. Throughout its history, Sera has produced some of Tibet's most important saints, scholars, and political leaders.
The scholars José Cabezón and Penpa Dorjee begin Sera Monastery with the history of monasticism from the time of the Buddha through its early development in Tibet and then tell the 600-year story of Sera from its founding to the present. They recount how the monastery grew and evolved during the centuries, how it has fared under Chinese rule, and how it was transplanted in the Tibetan refugee camps of South India. We are introduced to some of Sera's most important lamas and hermits, as well as its curriculum, yearly calendar, the daily life of scholar monks, and the role Sera monks played in the political history of Tibet.
Former Sera monks themselves, Cabezón and Dorjee demonstrate their firsthand knowledge of the monastery, its traditions, and daily life on every page. Scrupulously researched over decades, Sera Monastery is the most comprehensive history of a Tibetan monastery ever written in a Western language.
Creativity, Spirituality, and Making a Buck
"How do I make a living doing what I love?"
"Am I a sellout as an artist if I want to be successful?"
"How do I integrate my spiritual principles with the art of running a business? And actually, um, how do I run a business?"
Are you struggling to reconcile your calling with your need to make a living wage? Are you wondering what to do once your art starts selling, or how to achieve success in your field, or what it even means to be successful?
In Creativity, Spirituality, and Making a Buck, David Nichtern—a beloved Buddhist teacher and successful musician, composer, and producer who has worked with the likes of Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Garcia, and Lana Del Rey—offers his lived, learned experience as an entrepreneur, musician, and Buddhist teacher to first help you figure out what "success" means to you and then show you how to get there. If you're trying to align your spiritual, creative, and financial pursuits and discover what it means to truly live well, this book is for you.
"Everybody has a hungry heart. We are hungry for so many different kinds of food. The table is set and the meal is laid out for us…but how do we put that food into our mouths and TASTE IT? In this book, David Nichtern guides us with wisdom, joy, and humor to make our whole lives a tasty meal to be enjoyed and shared with others."—Krishna Das, author of Chants of a Lifetime and Grammy-nominated kirtan artist
Beautiful Adornment of Mount Meru
The lucid literary style of Beautiful Adornment of Mount Meru has made it a classic in the study of Indian philosophical thought, both in Tibetan monasteries and contemporary academic circles.
Beautiful Adornment of Mount Meru is a work of doxography, presenting the distinctive philosophical tenets of the Indian Buddhist and non-Buddhist schools in a systematic manner that ascends through increasingly more subtle views. It is a Tibetan corollary to contemporary histories of philosophy. The "Mount Meru" of the title is the Buddha's teachings, and Changkya's work excels in particular in its treatment of the two Mahayana Buddhist schools, the Yogācāra (here called the Vijñaptimātra) and the Madhyamaka. Beautiful Adornment is often praised for the clarity of its prose and its economical use of citations from Indian texts. It skillfully examines core philosophical issues, supplemented with several intriguing ancillary discussions, and draws heavily on the works of Tsongkhapa and his disciples in the Geluk tradition he founded.
Mind Seeing Mind
The hardback version of this book is currently out of stock. Check back soon.
A definitive study of one of the most important practice lineages in Tibetan Buddhism, with translations of its key texts.
Mahāmudrā, the "great seal," refers to the ultimate nature of mind and reality, to a meditative practice for realizing that ultimate reality, and to the final fruition of buddhahood. It is especially prominent in the Kagyü tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, so it sometimes comes as a surprise that mahāmudrā has played an important role in the Geluk school, where it is part of a special transmission received in a vision by the tradition's founder, Tsongkhapa. Mahāmudrā is a significant component of Geluk ritual and meditative life, widely studied and taught by contemporary masters such as the Dalai Lama.
Roger Jackson's Mind Seeing Mind offers us both a definitive scholarly study of the history, texts, and doctrines of Geluk mahāmudrā and masterful translations of its seminal texts. It provides a skillful survey of the Indian sources of the teaching, illuminates the place of mahāmudrā among Tibetan Buddhist schools, and details the history and major textual sources of Geluk mahāmudrā. Jackson also addresses critical questions, such as the relation between Geluk and Kagyü mahāmudrā, and places mahāmudrā in the context of contemporary religious studies. The translation portion of Mind Seeing Mind includes ten texts on mahāmudrā history, ritual, and practice.
Mind Seeing Mind adds considerably to our understanding of Tibetan Buddhist spirituality and shows how mahāmudrā came to be woven throughout the fabric of the Geluk tradition.
What Makes You So Busy?
Khenpo Sodargye, a world-famous Tibetan Buddhist lama and scholar, offers guidance on an issue that troubles so many of us in the modern world: What is true happiness, and how do we achieve it?
Bombarded with information, endlessly pursuing possessions—we look for happiness in all the wrong places. Khenpo Sodargye, one of the busiest Buddhist teachers in the world, shows us how to redirect our attention away from such distractions and instead calm our minds and find true contentment.
The Faults of Meat
Should all Buddhists be vegetarian?
Vegetarianism is an important topic of debate in Buddhist circles—some argue that Buddhists should avoid meat entirely while others suggest that it is acceptable. For the most part, however, this ethical query has been conducted in the West without consulting traditional literature on the subject. The Faults of Meat brings together for the first time a collection of rich and intricate explorations of authoritative Tibetan views on eating meat. These fourteen nuanced texts, ranging from scholastic treatises to poetic verse, reveal vegetarianism as a significant, ongoing issue of debate for Tibetans across time and traditions, with a wide variety of voices marshaled against meat, and a few in favor. Authors include many important Tibetan teachers:
Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen (1292–1361)
Khedrup Jé (1385–1438)
The eighth Karmapa, Mikyö Dorjé (1507–1554)
Shabkar Tsokdrük Rangdröl (1781–1851)
Khenpo Tsultrim Lodrö (1961– )
and many more.
These Buddhist teachers recognize both the ethical problems that surround meat eating and the practical challenges of maintaining a vegetarian diet; their skilled arguments are illuminated further by the translators' introductions to each work.
The perspectives in The Faults of Meat are strikingly relevant to our discussions of vegetarianism today; they introduce us to new approaches and solutions to a contentious issue for Buddhists.
Reasons and Lives in Buddhist Traditions
Particularly known for his groundbreaking and influential work in Tibetan studies, Matthew Kapstein is a true polymath in Buddhist and Asian studies more generally; possessing unsurpassed knowledge of Tibetan culture and civilization, he is also deeply grounded in Sanskrit and Indology, and his highly accomplished work in these cultural and civilizational areas has exemplified a whole range of disciplinary perspectives.
Reflecting something of the astonishing range of Matthew Kapstein's work and interests, this collection of essays pays tribute to a luminary in the field by exemplifying some of the diverse work in Buddhist and Asian studies that has been impacted by his scholarship and teaching. Engaging matters as diverse as the legal foundations of Tibetan religious thought, the teaching careers of modern Chinese Buddhists, the history of Bhutan, and the hermeneutical insights of Vasubandhu, these essays by students and colleagues of Matthew Kapstein are offered as testament to a singular scholar and teacher whose wide-ranging work is unified by a rare intellectual selflessness.
The Illustrated Lotus Sutra
The Lotus Sutra is regarded as one of the world's great religious scriptures and most influential texts. It's a seminal work in the development of Buddhism throughout East Asia and, by extension, in the development of Mahayana Buddhism throughout the world. Taking place in a vast and fantastical cosmic setting, the Lotus Sutra places emphasis on skillfully doing whatever is needed to serve and compassionately care for others, on breaking down distinctions between the fully enlightened buddha and the bodhisattva who vows to postpone salvation until all beings may share it, and especially on each and every being's innate capacity to become a buddha.
This illustrated edition features more than 110 full-page and two-page illustrations by a world-renowned and award-winning artist, and brings the fantastical and image-filled world of the Lotus Sutra vividly to life. Demi's illustrations are both classical and contemporary in feel, perfectly complementing Reeves's masterful and modern translation.
Following in the Buddha's Footsteps
Delve into the substance of spiritual practice in this fourth volume of the Dalai Lama's definitive series on the path to awakening, Following in the Buddha's Footsteps. You'll first hear His Holiness's explanation of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, why they are reliable guides on the path, and how to relate to them. His Holiness then describes the three essential trainings common to all Buddhist traditions: the higher trainings in ethical conduct, concentration, and wisdom. These chapters show us how to live a life free of harm to self or others and give us detailed instructions on how to develop single-pointed concentration as well as the higher states of concentration available to an earnest practitioner. In addition, the chapters on wisdom contain in-depth teachings on the noble eightfold path and the four establishments of mindfulness for developing greater awareness and understanding of our body, feelings, mind, and other phenomena. Together, these topics form the core of Buddhist practice.
This is a book to treasure and refer to repeatedly as you begin the path, progress on it, and near the final goal of nirvāṇa.
Tales from the Tibetan Operas
In Tales from the Tibetan Operas, timeless Buddhist ideas are brought to life through enchanting myths and vivid stories. Poetically vibrant, these eight classic lhamo stories have continued to delight and edify Tibetan audiences of all backgrounds, from village children to learned scholar-monks and Dalai Lamas.
Western readers can now get a glimpse into ancient Indian and Tibetan mythology through the cultural touchstone of eight classic lhamo stories. On visual display are the human and nonhuman characters of history and folklore — kings, queens, conniving ministers, ordinary folk, yogis, monks, and powerful beings from other realms such as gods and nāgas — engaged in plotting, kidnapping, fighting, journeys to faraway lands, separation, and reconciliation, often with a quest for seemingly impossible treasure. The suspenseful tales have many dramatic plot twists, but they all end in happiness, where the good achieve their goals and the bad receive their just desserts. The operas thus bring to the people the fundamental ethical laws of behavior and teachings of natural justice based on Buddhist doctrine.
The book features more than 50 gorgeous photos of the operas performed on location in Tibet and India.
Brilliantly Illuminating Lamp of the Five Stages
The Brilliantly Illuminating Lamp of the Five Stages (rim lnga rab tu gsal ba'i sgron me) is Tsong Khapa's master commentary on the perfection-stage practices of the Esoteric Community (Guhyasamāja), the tantra he considered fundamental for the "father tantra" class of unexcelled yoga tantras, as the primary source for the development of the "magic body" technique for attaining buddhahood. Based on Nāgārjuna's Five Stages (Pañcakrama) and Āryadeva's Lamp That Integrates the Practices (Caryāmelāpakapradīpa), as well as a vast range of other works by Indian and Tibetan scholars and adepts, it also reveals openly the experiences of the author, himself a master practitioner.
This blockbuster work of Jey Tsong Khapa opens a window on one of the most amazing, incredibly advanced attainments ever claimed to be possible for a human being within a single lifetime. The author explains in detail the relation between exoteric and esoteric teachings and practices on the path to complete enlightenment, with its seemingly superhuman awarenesses and abilities. He clarifies the interconnections between the various categories of secret tantras, inspires by showing how far-reaching are the systematic methods of positive personal transformation developed and taught in India and Tibet, and openly shows what this tradition considered possible, giving us a whole new vision of life's meaning and a strengthened confidence in our horizon of opportunities. This bold and well-reasoned work presents a fascinating new way to understand our own body and mind, to manage more confidently our own life and death trajectories, and to rejoice in the sense of the extreme value of our human lifetime as a platform for realizing our personal evolutionary potential.
Illumination of the Hidden Meaning, Vol. 2
This is the second of two volumes presenting Dr. David Gray's study and translation of the Illumination of the Hidden Meaning (sbas don kun gsal) by the Tibetan Buddhist scholar-yogi Tsong Khapa Losang Drakpa (1357–1419). The Illumination contains Tsong Khapa's magnificent commentary on the Indian Buddhist Cakrasamvara Tantra, one of the earliest and most influential of the yoginī tantras, a genre of tantric Buddhist scripture that emphasizes female deities, particularly the often fiercely depicted yoginīs and ḍākinīs. Together with the first volume, this contains the first English translation of this important work that marks a milestone in the history of the Tibetan assimilation of the Indian Buddhist tantras.
This second volume, which includes Tsong Khapa's detailed introduction to chapters 25–51 of the 51-chapter Cakrasamvara root tantra, covers the vows, observances, and conduct of the initiated yogī, particularly in relation to the yoginīs, whose favor he must cultivate. It describes in great detail the rites of the tradition, including homa fire sacrifice and the uses of the mantras of the maṇḍala's main deities. The author provides a trilingual English–Tibetan–Sanskrit glossary.
Together with the author's related publications in this series—including translations of the root Cakrasamvara Tantra (2007, 2010, 2019); the critically edited Sanskrit and Tibetan texts of the root tantra (2012); and the first volume of this master Tibetan commentary (chapters 1–24), subtitled Maṇḍala, Mantra, and the Cult of the Yoginīs (2017)—the reader will have the first full study of this important tantra available in English.

Rumor has it that the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) will move to ban drivers from competing both in their events and the Global RallyCross (GRC) series. This would mean WRC drivers like Sebastien Loeb and Ken Block, as well as European Rallycross drivers like Tanner Foust and Liam Doran, would no longer be able to compete in the new series.
Word around the paddock is that the FIA, which runs the European Rallycross, might be eyeing their own international rallycross series and would like to crush the GRC.
The World Rally Championship is still mostly a European affair and a rallycross series could be a nice way to drum up interest in other countries in advance, perhaps, of the WRC. They may also be envious of the success of GRC in the U.S. and think they can do better.
At this point it's just a rumor and we have feelers out to the FIA and Global RallyCross. Have you heard anything? You can drop some info in Kinja below anonymously using a burner account.

Dear readers,
This blog aims at informing foreigners about the Brazilian Laws applicable to international trade.
This includes investment regulations, civil law, arbitration and international contracts. I will also cover issues like international marriages and Brazilian Visas.
Much of the content is coming from my Portuguese blogs: http://adlerweb.blogspot.com and http://advogadointernacional.blogspot.com/.
The first post will be a big one: I have just finished a paper about Contracts among BRIC Countries. It is one of the first works on the subject and I am very proud of it.
Translation is still in course, but the Portuguese version can be seen at:
I hope you can enjoy it.
