Is My Landlord Liable for My Personal Injuries?
November 20, 2017
The tenant/landlord relationship is defined in the contract that a renter signs before moving into a rental property. For the most part, these agreements are carefully worded by a contract attorney for the property owner or property management company. With the growing number of people moving in-and-out of our area, some landlords are taking full advantage of opportunities to avoid payment of damages through use of a waiver signed by the renter prior to taking possession of the property.
According to the Florida Supreme Court, the owner of a residential dwelling unit, who leases it to a tenant for residential purposes, has a duty to inspect the premises before allowing the tenant to take possession, and to make the necessary repairs to transfer a reasonably safe dwelling to the tenant. However, under Florida law, a landlord can negotiate their duty to make repairs directly with a tenant. For example, a tenant may be able to save money on rent by waiving the landlord's obligation to make certain repairs to a dwelling.
This does not mean a signed waiver represents a blanket dismissal of liability. Florida law also says, while a contract is in effect, a landlord does have a continuing duty to exercise reasonable care in repairing dangerous and defective conditions that are identified by a tenant's notice. But, as is the case with most personal injury lawsuits, negligence must be a direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is also possible for a liability claim to come from invasion of privacy, acts of discrimination, or unlawful retaliatory evictions.
Although a landlord is not directly responsible for protecting a tenant from a criminal act, they are responsible for tenant security in common areas like stairs, elevators and hallways. In certain circumstances, this may involve installing security cameras and proper lighting as well as employing security personnel. Moreover, common areas must be kept reasonably safe and in good condition to avoid accidents. Most personal injury lawsuits involve very complex legal issues, if you or a loved one were injured by someone's unreasonable or negligent act, contact a personal injury attorney to discuss the details of your case.

Westbury and Districts Historical Society
The Westbury and Districts Historical Society (WDHS) is a special committee of the Meander Valley Council. The History Society has permanent rooms where local and family history is researched and displayed. It is open to the public two days a week or by appointment. The Society also has a website that highlights the history of the area.
Ellen (Nellie) Payne was one of Tasmania's foremost woodcarvers and was born in Westbury in 1865. Nellie created carvings for many well-known Tasmanian and Australian organisations and families, including a large range of honour boards following WWI. Nellie's work can be found in public and private collections across the world.
To recognise Nellie's contribution to the Westbury community and to highlight her work, a sub-committee of the Historical Society, with support from the Tasmanian Community Fund, provided a four-week exhibition titled Who Was Nellie Payne?. The exhibition included a large amount of Nellie's work and was held across venues in Westbury. Following on from the exhibition, a website highlighting Nellie's work and history has been developed to ensure that her story is not lost.

Carl has just submitted his report of the Tour of Flanders sportive last weekend. He was riding a pair of Velocity A23s Strada built for him earlier this year.
The ride started in the Market Square In Bruges (you know… the one from the climax of the movie In Bruges?). We set off with 260km's of wet roads, cold cross winds, slippery cobbles and 20% bergs a head of us the only certainty being the suffering ahead. At least that is what I expected it to be like the reality was very different.
Around 4000 (of the 20 000 plus riders on various courses on the day) headed out of Bruges on the full 260km route in perfect conditions, not a cloud to be seen and already 10 Celsius at 07:00 in the morning.
After a non-eventful, very flat and enjoyable 80k we got our first taste of cobbles. Pushing a slightly bigger gear than normal they were not a huge shock to the system although they did account for a lot of bikes judging by the amount of riders fettling on the side of the road. After the first couple of pave sections you soon got used to picking a line and going for it, they certainly would have been a lot trickier in the wet, in fact the whole day felt like cheating as conditions were that good! There was a significant cross wind when you came out of the pack, or did a turn on the front but with so many cyclists you never had to spend too much energy.
After climb 7 at Oude Kwaremont we hit the Paterberg and this is where we saw the first people walking. Not just one or two, both sides of the road were lined with walkers but the middle was clear. Well almost clear except for chap who decided he was going to remount in the middle of the steepest narrowest point in the whole ride. It was obvious what was going to happen to everyone except him, so despite much yelling to "get out of the way" from approaching riders he shrugged his shoulders and got on with it. When he fell, he took out 4 riders including a mate. Four more walkers and some excellent ammo to wind up Adam "something about having to walk on the Paterberg and thus not cleaning the course".
The Koppenberg was next and as I wasn't running a compact I was happy it was not wet. Getting up without walking would have been very tricky given that riders spanned the road all the way up and standing up for me was more a necessity than an option.
The bergs kept coming including Eikenberg, Molenberg, Tenbosse and then on to the Muur in 27 degree heat! (So much for suffering, I came back with a cyclist tan). I knew this climb well from watching, Spartacus ride away from Boonen several times on sky plus. Happily I was riding next to someone about twice my size and on a mtb at exactly the same point so in my own mind I was in legendary form as I went away "Take that Fat Boonen on a mtb!". At the top instead of building on the hard earned gap I caught up with my other two mates who left me near the start of the climb and were waiting patiently, back to reality then. After a quick piccie it was off to the Bosberg and then a Downhill 11km race to the finish ensued, it was bordering on the childish, with the three of us going flat out and getting rid of any extra waffle energy (excellent food stops) held in reserve. The bike and wheels were amazing, not even a puncture amongst the three of us and the wheels still completely true despite the abuse!
We watched the pro-race the next day and the atmosphere as expected was amazing. Very similar conditions to the day before with less wind. I want to do it again under more "Classic" conditions, otherwise I won't feel that I had the full experience but as a cycling weekend away it was one of the best.
Cheers, Carl

Document Type
Vortices in superconductors driven at microwave frequencies exhibit a response related to the interplay between the vortex viscosity, pinning strength, and flux creep effects. At the same time, the trapping of vortices in superconducting microwave resonant circuits contributes excess loss and can result in substantial reductions in the quality factor. Thus, understanding the microwave vortex response in superconducting thin films is important for the design of such circuits, including superconducting qubits and photon detectors, which are typically operated in small, but non-zero, magnetic fields. By cooling in fields of the order of 100 $\mu$T and below, we have characterized the magnetic field and frequency dependence of the microwave response of a small density of vortices in resonators fabricated from thin films of Re and Al, which are common materials used in superconducting microwave circuits. Above a certain threshold cooling field, which is different for the Re and Al films, vortices become trapped in the resonators. Vortices in the Al resonators contribute greater loss and are influenced more strongly by flux creep effects than in the Re resonators. This different behavior can be described in the framework of a general vortex dynamics model.

A Vision of Service
The Rancho Bernardo Lions Club has brought community members together to make a difference for more than 50 years. Their impact can be seen throughout the community, from contributing to the foundation of the Rancho Bernardo Library to inspiring high school students to volunteer. RB Lions, like the international organization, focus their volunteer efforts on supporting the blind and vision-impaired. We learn more about that mission from RB Lions President Betty Jean Dye.
Q&A with Betty Jean Dye
What is the Lions Club mission?
"Lions are knights of the blind and seeing impaired." At the Lions Clubs International Convention in Ohio, in 1925, Ms. Helen Keller, the guest speaker, challenged Lions to become the knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.
What is the history of the RB Lions Club?
Our club was chartered in 1964. The community of Rancho Bernardo was started as a planned community in 1961. In 1917, Melvin Jones, a wealthy Chicago insurance man, convinced his fellow members to help the less fortunate in their community. This was the start of the Lions Clubs International, a business men's club. In the late 1980s, women were permitted to join Lions.
What communities and organizations does the club serve?
Rancho Bernardo. We work with health technicians in the Poway Unified School District, San Diego Center for the Blind San Diego/Vista locations, Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation, and Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
At-A-Glance | President
Name: Betty Jean Dye
Position: President, Secretary, Membership 2019-2020
Profession: Retired/Construction
Community: Oaks North
Hobbies & Interests: Music, theater, volunteering, gardening
Favorite Local Spots: San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Bernardo Winery, local fundraising events
How did you personally become involved with RB Lions?
My neighbors were members and invited me to a meeting after retiring in 2004. The mission of the club was not just attending luncheons, but being an active volunteer in community fundraisers, holding vision screenings, and getting free eye exams and prescription eyeglasses for low income students in the Poway Unified School District. LensCrafters partners with our club in their One Sight program.
What is your current role within the organization, and what duties does it involve?
President/Secretary/Membership. Guiding the club members, committees, and getting new members involved with our motto, "We serve." Where there is a need, there is a Lion.
What is the most rewarding thing about your role? The most challenging?
Rewarding: Each October, for over 40 years, the club has held World Service Day for the Blind and Seeing Impaired. Our guests are bused from San Diego Center for the Blind, Lions Optometric Vision Center, and Blind Community Center of SD. Lions and volunteers serve lunch to the guests. Each year, guests look forward to this annual event. Entertainment is provided by Vincent Young, a sight-impaired and talented young man.
The most challenging: To keep up the enthusiasm, fun, and our mission as Lions, by encouraging others to join the Lions Club.
What are the RB Lions' primary goals, both short-term and long-term?
Short-term: Having more members that have a passion for volunteering to meet the needs of those less fortunate.
Long-term: With increased members, we can reach out to the community to continue programs for the blind and seeing impaired. We have 10 collection boxes in RB for used eyeglasses and hearing aids, including at the Rancho Bernardo Library and Rancho Bernardo Senior Services.

LEOs decorate the Lions Clubs International float for the Rose Parade each December, participate in the Student Speaker Contest competing for cash prizes, volunteer at I Love a Clean SD, and place floral wreaths at the graves of KIA and veterans at Miramar National Cemetery each Memorial Day. This year, LEO Morgan Perry was LEO of the Year 2018-2019 from RBHS. Our Treasurer, Justin Souter, was a LEO at RBHS!
Can you tell us about the upcoming White Cane Fund Drive?
The Annual White Cane Drive is held each October soliciting donations from our community. Albertsons and Vons are the two storefronts where Lions, LEOs, and puppy raisers from Guide Dogs for the Blind will be at the stores on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Without the support of the community we could not continue to donate funds to the organizations we have supported these past 55 years. 100% of the funds raised are donated.
What have been some of the organization's most memorable achievements over the years?
Purchasing buses in the 1960s and 1970s for San Diego Center for the Blind, pledging $6,000 to the construction of the new Rancho Bernardo Library, donating funds to RBHS Music Building, monthly donations to SD Center for the Blind. Six month classes are available at SD Center for the Blind for the visually impaired to live independently.

Nesting Box Curtains
Nesting box curtains aren't as frivolous as they may seem. Not only do curtains add adorable charm to your coop, they add much needed privacy for your girls. If you keep chickens, you know they do NOT like to be bothered in their nesting boxes. I get some very sassy clucks if I disturb my girls during their morning routine!
Materials Needed:
- 2 9''x13'' panels of fabric (per box)
- thread color of your choice
- staple gun and staples for fastening to nesting boxes
The nesting boxes in our coop measure 1ft x 1ft. You may need to adjust the sizes of your curtains if your boxes are much bigger, or just reduce the amount of overlap.
Sew a 1/2 inch edge on each panel. You can iron the folded edge before sewing, or be lazy like myself, and fold the edge over as you sew. Once both panels have a sewn 1/2 inch edge, overlap the panels lengthwise by two inches, and sew together across the top. I used a staple gun to attach the curtains to our nesting boxes. When you need to wash the curtains, just pop the staples out (and throw away, don't leave them in the coop!), wash, dry, and re-attach.

Plant 'em once, enjoy 'em for years.
What's not to love about herbs? They're super easy to grow, and perennial types come back every spring. Create a potager, or kitchen garden, and harvest your herbs for cooking, or simply enjoy their cottage charm. Many types of herbs flower for weeks, attracting beneficial pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. In mild regions, you can harvest them most of the year. But even in cold climates, herbs may surprise you by withstanding light freezes. Most herbs prefer full sun (at least six hours of direct sunlight). Here, see some of our favorite perennial herbs to plant in your garden.
This exquisitely scented plant with purple-blue flowers doesn't like wet feet, so make sure soil is well-drained. Its delicate flavor shines in salads, herb butters, scones, and shortbread. Delish! Alternatively, you can dry for sachets and tuck into your dresser drawers.
These charming daisy-like flowers grow on a bushy plant. Flowers can be used fresh or dried in salads, steeped as a tea, or dried for potpourri. Make sure to read the plant label, as some other types of chamomile are annual, not perennial.
This herb is one of the lesser known, but it has attractive tooth-edged leaves and pink flowers. Add leaves to salads for a mild cucumber-y flavor.
Sorrel is another less commonly grown herb with long leaves and dark red veins. It likes lots of moisture. The leaves have a lemony tang, and it's used in salads and soups or as a spinach substitute.
Long, slender leaves and pretty pink or purple globe-like flowers grow in clumps and adapt well to many different kinds of soils. The flowers drop seeds, so you'll also have baby chive plants in successive years. Both the leaves and flowers are edible with a mild onion flavor. Snip off with scissors (pulling on the plants will yank out the roots) and use in soups, salads, or potato dishes.
Mint has many different personalities: Spearmint tastes fresh and clean. Chocolate mint tastes sweet. Pineapple mint, well, you get the idea. If you don't want it to take over the garden (and it will!), plant in a pot sunk into the ground to contain its spread. Add a sprig to lemonade, or chop and toss with home fries. Bonus: Mint is one of those plants that naturally repels mosquitoes.
Cilantro (the leafy part) and coriander (the seeds found in the dried flower heads) are the same plant. Technically, it's an annual but let the seed heads drop, and baby cilantro plants will appear in cooler weather. The leaves, flowers, and seeds are edible and delicious in salsa, salads, and Mexican recipes. Side note: Some people aren't big fans because they have a genetic predisposition to perceive a soapy aftertaste when eating cilantro.
Slightly soft and fuzzy, sage can be pale green, tricolor, purple, or variegated. It's hardy, surviving even the most severe winters. Use as an aromatic to stuff poultry or to season pork dishes. You can also lightly fry whole leaves to top dishes such as pumpkin ravioli.
Delicate, wispy leaves adorn this graceful plant. Some kinds grow up to four feet tall, so make sure it's in the back of your border. Pollinators especially love the lacey yellow flowers. In most climates, it's an annual, but it drops plenty of seeds so plants come back. Use leaves anytime or dry seeds to use in pasta dishes or sausage for a mild licorice flavor.
This herb has rounded, almost heart-shaped leaves and small white flowers that aren't that impressive. But the plant does have a very pleasant scent. Use leaves for a mild citrusy flavor in fruit salads or herb butters.
Marjoram has rounded leaves and teeny flowers you almost don't notice. It prefers sandy soil, but it has zero tolerance for a frost. Plant only in warm climates, or treat as an annual in cold regions of the country. It's used in poultry dishes, soups, and potatoes.
You may think of these charming flowers as strictly ornamental, but lightly-scented violas are actually edible! They re-seed on their own, so you'll find them popping up everywhere next spring. Plant in part-shade so they'll survive the hot summer sun. With their colorful faces, they're adorable on cupcakes, salads, or frozen in ice cubes.
Thin, grassy leaves and white clusters of fragrant flowers on clumping plants make these a pretty addition throughout your garden. Use them in place of garlic for a similar but milder taste. Both the leaves and unopened flower buds are edible.
This herb has glossy leaves and small white flowers that bloom from mid- to late summer. It survives only mild winters because it's considered a tropical plant. The strong lemon scent is tasty in iced tea, or use it for potpourri.
Piney-scented rosemary is a fairly sturdy plant. It's hardy in mild winters but can survive for years in cold climates if planted in a pot and brought indoors in winter. The tiny purple flowers are quite pretty, and dwarf or trailing varieties make a great addition to the garden. Chop up and top sauces, pasta dishes, and roasted meats.
Parsley is biennial, so it'll be two seasons before they flower. Buy plants; you'll lose patience waiting for seeds to sprout. It takes three to five weeks to germinate! Some cooks think Italian flat-leaf parsley has more flavor. Use it in salads, soups, sauces, and potato dishes.
Honestly, you almost can't kill oregano. It's hardy, spreads fast, and has little purple-ish flowers that last for weeks to attract pollinators. Use it in tomato sauce, soups, and pizza.
This semi-shrubby plant has small purple or blue flowers and attractive foliage. Don't confuse with summer savory, which is an annual that won't survive winter. Add to stews and lamb dishes.
Thyme is a fast grower with teeny leaves and loads of purple or pink flowers. The best news: It thrives on poor soil, and pollinators love it! It's also a hardy ground cover that's most flavorful when used fresh in chowders, potatoes, and pasta dishes.
This old-fashioned herb isn't seen that often nowadays, but it's generally unfussy and can grow to several feet tall. Use fresh leaves for a light celery flavor in casseroles, soups, potato dishes, and poultry dressing.

Has it all. Great for gatherings. Large wooden climbing structure w long slides. Separated swing section. Spinning section. Lots of large trees.
written almost 7 years ago
Overall this park has a lot of things for kids a smaller toddlers to do. My only negative point is that it is difficult to keep an eye on kids due to the layout. And the worst of it is the park is not fully enclosed. So kids can wander off to the top end of the park and onto the road. Although it isn't a busy road, it is still a road!
So there are a nice variety of activities and there is a coffee van that visits from 10am till around 1pm. I am not 100% sure of those time by the way!
I live right near it but don't go all the time simply due to the fact that it really is tricky watching them as the park is quite spread out. Not my favourite. Would be far better if fully enclosed with gates at each currently open entrance.

Watch out for mosses at dusk, good universal access play elements.

White sand underfoot. Lots of various, new and interesting play equipment. Large wooden climbing area with many slides. Areas suitable for toddlers and older ones as well. Path around the playground making it suitable to take your child's scooter or bike. BBQ facilities also available.
Have your say. Write a review of Rotary Park Wanneroo

My father loved the joys of the material world. He just had to obtain the fastest motorcycle ever produced at the time, a 1984 Kawasaki 900 Ninja. I think my father enjoyed it until it scared him and then he gave it to me. It wasn't necessarily my style, but what American boy could have said no to such an adventure? Afterall, this was the same motorcycle that Tom Cruise drove in Top Gun. Furthermore, my father had already initiated me into motocross racing at 11 and so I knew what the thrill of danger was. I was a totally crazy and somehow survived the most terrible accidents; flying off of my motorcycle while my little skinny body soared 12 feet over the ground at 60 mph while the other motorcycles were flying over me and landing almost on top of me. I recalled those thrills and decided I could re-live this again with the Ninja. Everybody wanted to ride on it and some friends even wanted to drive it. My best friend had one arm that did not have a fore arm. He just had a little "stub" after the elbow, like a tiny little finger about half an inch long. He insisted that he drive it. I couldn't say anything, agree or disagree. He just looked at me and said, "Are you prejudiced against me because of my handicap? I have a little stub on my elbow that can grab the clutch." "Well, you do play the guitar very well with your stub", I said. That was the only time being on the motorcycle ever scarred me, especially when he got comfortable driving it and tried to bring the front wheel off of the ground at 50 mph. He knew he could get away with anything and he started to take it without my permission and give rides to the rest of my friends. He even taught other people how to drive it.
After high school I moved to Austin to study. I didn't use the motorcycle much but enjoyed it thoroughly when I did. I used to drive home once a month to visit my mother. It was a 3 hour trip that I turned in to just two hours. I had good vision and could see far ahead. I knew the road since childhood and knew where the police could be running radar. I felt justified in this because my back began to hurt after 2 hours and so I wanted to make the trip as short as possible. I had just started meditating and had become much calmer and a little less adventurous. I spent more time reading books and being with my intellectual and artistic friends and family members (from my mother's side). My girlfriend left me because she said I loved Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky more than her. I was happy being alone, somewhere between the dimming material freedoms of my past and a subtle, still inchoate hope of discovering true mysticism. However, one day on a trip home a group of frat boys passed me at 120 mph while I was doing 90. They were laughing at me in a fun, playful manner but at the same time wanted to compete because they saw a Kawasaki Ninja and knew that most of the people that drove them were Tom Cruise want-to-bes. I down shifted 2 gears, gave a full throttle and passed them at 135 mph. I had never done this before but knew that this rocket was capable of this. I suppose I had a certain pride in that I had all of this reserve power that I never used. It was there and available, but such things aren't necessary.
It was exhilarating. My mind became so focused. Every movement was critical; a gust of wind or a small pebble could have caused me to go flying off my rocket and lose my skin. My mind became so focused that it really was not possible to think but just to flow. The intense focus of my mind made me aware that there was some inner 'other' accompanying me, a silent witness that only observed, yet under this observation the mind understands how to flow and act intuitively. All of the senses are so acutely alive, the sound of the wind, the force of the air against the motorcycle, the passing lines on the highway; all of these intensely, simultaneous perceptions made me aware of something so great, a deep feeling of "I" accompanying me. My mind was perfectly still and I could not think. There was no fear, just attention. After just a short time at 135 mph a thought came into my mind and said "okay, that was great, but don't push your luck." It was as if that silent witness infused and inspired some judicious thoughts within so as to calm the thrill.
I became obsessed with the idea of immortality. I was compelled to find that experience again but without the high speed motorcycle. I felt the witness was always there and that the only thing between me and That were my thoughts. Yet when I began to think upon this Presence I found my thoughts begin to change. They seemed perfectly rational and responsible. At the same time I became very aware of what was irrational and impulsive in me. My heart was opening up and I felt love for all. I felt this to the degree that my thoughts coincided with my inner self, and if my thoughts did not coincide, then my witness was there as devil's advocate, showing me the shadow only to show me the way out. Sometimes these thoughts were uncomfortable and I would wake up at night thinking, "If there really does exist this immortality, then why are we playing all of these games in this silly world? Should one not dedicate all to It?" After that I no longer made the Dean's List.
I was initiated into a Rajadhiraja Tantra Yoga tradition when I was a student in Austin in 1993. I adopted a very healthy vegetarian lifestyle without drugs and alcohol. Within a few months the kundalini began with what would be a very long and intense awakening. As a student of psychology and world literature, I had heard of kundalini and other mystical energies but I had never thought they were real, live forces. I thought it was just interesting archaic symbolism, and not an actual force within the human body that rises up through the spinal column to awaken higher states of awareness. The universal symbol for this force is the serpent. It is said to be a covert, spiritual force beneath the surface of conscious awareness, like a coiled snake. Kundalini is the fundamental intelligence behind life and evolution, waiting to be awakened when the mind finally desires liberation from finite mental bondages. As this divine "serpent power" rises through the spinal column, one experiences states of deep spiritual realization. For the yogi, kundalini is the force that unites the human with the divine.
One day after classes and a short meditation, at which I was merely a beginner, I laid down on my back due to exhaustion. I felt a soothing force begin to rise up my spine. As this point of white, soft energy rose up into the thoracic region of the spine, I began to hear the sacred Om sound. It became frightening because there was only Om and nothing else. I opened my eyes but could not see anything. My faculties of sight and hearing were unified and there only existed Om. I knew I was being dissolved in a force that was vibrating within every particle of the universe. It was ecstatic and exhilarating but terrifying. I felt my whole identity would disappear and never return. The kundalini was entering the medulla. I began to repeat my mantra for meditation but it only made the experience more intense. Instead, I began to repeat my birth name, William Ernest Enckhausen III, over and over and trying to remember that I was a student in Austin, Texas on the physical plane of reality. The kundalini began to go back down as Om diminished. I couldn't take any more.
After that experience I became very confident but experienced a lot of mental turmoil. It was very productive turmoil in that all negative memories from my past were being quickly purged and purified. I began to feel completely whole and that I had already lived a very complete life. The second time the kundalini rose was a few months later. I saw the same light in my spine although this time it was an infinitesimally small point. Physical reality disappeared and I began to "see" from the crown of my head a turquoise bird flying closer and closer as the point rose higher and higher. The bird landed on the crown of my head at the same time the point rose to the same place. Heaven and earth had met and I was lost in an infinite web of sound vibration where I could no longer see even this beautiful vision.
My last thought before losing awareness of not just the outer world, but also the inner world of vision, was that the forms looked Meso-American. Only years later would I learn of the Mesoamerican concept of kundalini, what they call Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent. The quetzal is a colorful bird of Chiapas and the Mayan symbol for the kundalini, the spiritual energy of evolution and enlightenment that resides dormant within the mind. The Quetzal-kundalini awakens the inner spirit that soars only towards the infinite sky. I adopted Quetzal as my pen name when I began to study Tantra Maya years later.
(This same image was named Quetzalcoatl by the Toltecs and Kulkulkan by the Mayas. A version of the image of Quetzalcoatl is on the Mexican national flag to this day.)
After this experience I lost all interest in a career and marriage and a "normal" life. I barely graduated the university and went to India seeking more understanding. There I met Chidghananda, a solitary old monk well-venerated in his order. He was regarded as a saint and I felt so honored that he took me into his close friendship and care. Sometimes I would accompany him with his evening meditations. He always heard the holy Om sound and it increased in his meditation. It was obvious that he regularly experienced ananda, divine bliss. He was truly one of the most loving human beings that I have ever met. My experiences had intensified near him at Ananda Nagar and it was clearly divine will that I had met such a teacher to guide me through these powerful processes.
At the time I wanted to become a monk but Chidghananda himself told me that I was a bit of an oddity and would not fit in well with the monastic organization. He said that my spiritual work was coming to an end, and that I didn't really need to do anything else with my life rather than meditate, live simply, and help others as much as I could. Although sharply criticized for his influence over me, he followed his conscience and spoke only the truth to me. Although very confused as to what to do with my life once the ideal of being a monk was fading, I was aided by a dream in which Anandmurti commanded me not to worry about becoming a monk, but just to "see the world as a frame-less photo and wander through the night." Anandamurti has always spoken to me through dreams in such an elevated, poetic fashion. Later, as a confirmation he told me in another vivid dream that "all that matters is to do dhyana dasha." He used those Sanskrit words, one of which I knew of not until a friend looked it up in a Sanskrit dictionary. What Anandamurti said was "all that matters is to do service through meditation." I was often unsure if in these dreams I communicated with the spirit of Anandamurti, or if Anandamurti had become a mere symbol in my consciousness that had penetrated my dreams. Either way, these dreams always made perfect sense to me and enlightened difficult situations. If they were my own projections, then they came from the deepest, most intuitive parts of me that have never let me down.
All of the unresolved questions that remained for me about the mystical experiences of my childhood and youth were answered in those brief years I was living with yogic monks and nuns. Before that, I had many deep and powerful experiences that my friends also shared and experienced with me. My mother always believed me and helped me find some answers to these mysteries. She introduced me to her friends that meditated and practiced yoga.
Such experiences were blasts of clarity and insight that always seemed to occur with interesting existential and emotional "synchronicities" connected with my friends and family since childhood. However, it was when I learned tantric meditation that all of these experiences became clearly understood. It was as if these earlier experiences needed to be cleared up in my mind so as to make space for newer experiences.
And so it was; the more I assimilated the earlier mysteries, the more I experienced newer ones. By the time I went to India I started entering in states of deep, breathless meditation. It was as if I were dead but my mind was very active on the inside, processing memories of those deep experiences in my youth with friends and family. Everything made sense and all was good…..my family and friends gave me everything…….breathlessness………………it is morning…
Chidghananda said my work was done. I no longer had a past, or I was no longer tied to my past. What now?, I wondered. As time went by he started to speak of the future, as if he really wanted to tell me something important about not just my future but the future of humanity. I began to have very uncomfortable experiences and visions after those very blissful trances. Everything that I experienced was sublime yet terrible. I saw so much suffering and knew that there would be difficult times ahead.
At the same time I met another yogi who gave me another piece to the puzzle. I didn't know him at all but we liked each other instantly and he started to tell me very interesting and insightful tips that seemed to be exactly what I needed. He told me that yogis could consciously invoke the "Near Death Experience" with certain yogic techniques. In such a state, one can see what one needs to see, and all of the way into eternity. He said that I could enter into the Hall of the Immortals and ask any liberated being any question that I wanted. He gave me the technique, I practiced it and indeed verified that he was correct, that yogis can invoke the near death experience through meditation.
I saw my whole life flash in front of me. I remember many, many of these vivid visions but recall with each new experience in life a feeling of deja vu and realize that I have already seen this too. I saw everything in that vision, yet I consciously remember fragments. When I have deja vu, there is no mystery of where the feeling of familiarity comes from; the familiarity came from the fact that I had already seen this part of the drama unfold in that near death experience, or what really became a series of near-death experiences. It is like when a friend shares a memory with you. It was the same experience but when he or she recalls it to you then you remember the picture more completely. You hadn't forgotten those aspects, they were just unconscious. Similarly, when I would have feelings of deja vu I would contemplate on where I actually did experience that memory and actually recalled when and where and it the origin always came back to those experiences of near death, in the eternal now. Near death is so close to Life.
I once became good friends with a young monk from europe. He was an exceptionally bright person, fairly well educated but not an intellectual in the formal sense. He seemed like the type of person who remembered everything he ever learned and that school was probably very easy for him. I think his intelligence became more focused on intuitive and practical questions than intellectual ones.
One day we were talking about how very few people in the order really understand ideas like karma and past lives yet everybody seemed to accept these ideas implicitly because the guru spoke of such ideas and people just accept them because of that. He was more critical, however. He told me that if one wants to know of one's past lives, then it is really as simple as recalling one's earliest childhood memories. Before the abstract intellect and self-concept develops in a child, their minds often wander beyond time and the present incarnation. Small children can recall their past lives and in their day-dreaming are actually remembering their pasts. His ideas were sincere and he seemed to be speaking from experience, which was much more than the dogmatic people who just accepted these ideas because they made some sense or just because the guru said that they were true. He told me how he remembered very clearly since his childhood that he was a Russian monk in his past life.
I recall this conversation several years later. I was never interested in knowing about past lives, but the idea of clearly remembering all of my early childhood was very appealing. I felt that as time goes on my memories become purer and clearer and that childhood was a well-spring of happiness. Sometimes I would meet people who suffered things that were unimaginable for me, traumas in childhood that had left them psychologically hindered. Later I would have dreams about their state of mind. It was sometimes incomprehensible because I did not have the experience in my own life to draw similarities with. Later, I would begin to have dreams about traumas that happened to me. I knew these dreams weren't mine but that somehow our sharing of these powerful emotions worked their way into my own sub-conscious and I began to dream of them as if they were my complexes. I found myself as the protagonist in these dreams and experienced terrible traumas. When I awoke i was not disturbed but relieved. I felt that the dream helped me release this unprocessed content that my mind was experiencing with another. For this reason was I interested in early memories. Mine seemed so positive that the shared experiences of others didn't leave a mark on me. I felt that my own past was a mighty fortress that no present suffering, mine as well as others, could penetrate. It is for that reason that I would use my birth name, William Enckhausen, while processing these experiences. Nobody ever calls me by that name anymore and it was a quiet and tranquil place to be. Three distinct friends connected with native American traditions have taught me three distinct yet very similar truths. According to them, when one is being affected by some negative mental energy (spirit) one should: remember who is breathing your breath, remember who is beating your heart, and what is your name? I have found all 3 of these ideas extremely valuable in situations involving bizarre, confusing energies of mind. They help one to return to the moment, into non-dual awareness.
One night I lie awake trying to clearly see and feel my earliest childhood memories. One was actually a dream that I remember from when I was very young. It was strange that one of my first memories was actually a dream. In the dream I was sitting in my high chair surrounded by mysterious figures. They were kind and loving but altogether different entities. I always remembered that dream but could never figure out who those strange loving beings were. Their skin was dark, their eyes large, and their faces were very round. When I grew older and learned about surrealistic art I thought that perhaps I was dreaming of some primitive archetypes as they really did look like masks. I saw the dream as a union of my life with the life of my human ancestors. I was never sure about the interpretation but the memory always produced a feeling of security and love.
So I lay awake that night trying to feel and remember that dream; trying to see clearer the faces and ask my memory is there was something more. The vision wasn't any clearer and I still saw the same faces. It had been several years since I had tried to recall this dream and I had encountered many new people in my life. I began to think that these faces were the faces of indigenous mesoamericans. I liked the idea and it made me think that perhaps I dreamed of significant people I would meet in my future while I was a toddler. All of these very personal and idiosyncratic ideas would have remained solely in the unconfirmed and unverifiable realm of imagination if it weren't for a certain experience that occurred at precisely the same moment as I had those ideas. There arose the idea that those faces were actually my indigenous friends with whom I lived. At exactly the same time, not even a second apart, a friend enters my room and tells me that she was dreaming that she was visiting me in my childhood. I immediately knew that the dreamed happened right now, not in childhood nor in the present flow of time, but in the Eternal Now. It is from this space that we can understand our lives and see all of the meaningful connections, both past and future. Perhaps this is where one also is able to see beyond one's birth? Children live more in the eternal present but we can return there at any time if we know how to understand and interpret the flow of consciousness both in and beyond time.
Everybody I have met has been very nice to me on these 45 orbits around our Sun I have traveled thus far. It is as if an invisible god has been accompanying me who jumps out and enters everybody I meet, giving that eternal salute from yet another unique perspective.
Everything we experience in human life is an expression of the Macrocosm. Whether one calls the Macrocosm "Brahma", or "Tao", or a "Unified Quantum Field", it is the source and ground of our physical, mental and spiritual being. The source of the Macrocosm is purely spiritual, It is pure Consciousness; the silent I-Witness behind the active, oscillating mind. When you are quiet, this infinity is yours. The mental part of the macrocosm only faintly manifests in human intelligence. When humans become more intelligent they will have then merged a little deeper into the mental and spiritual aspects of the Macrocosm. Only the outer reflection of this pure and unified web of being is material. It is material and separate only in our minds, however. One can have a spiritual experience of the physical world of matter and form and still not be convinced of the absoluteness of matter. Form is but a manifestation of spirit.
Everything and everyone has deep, reserve parts of their being that are latent and only waiting to manifest when the external ego is a little more mature and calm. A person who has lived away from civilization for many years returns to see the world of form and matter. His physical world had become the mountain, river, sky, and body. They all secretly speak of spirit, however. He remembers the old forms of cars and malls and wars and all of the dread of material existence. These forms only seem a little more dead now.
If one really believes in the reality of these things then the mind actually becomes like those things. Mind is a living entity that vibrates and takes on the form of material objects. "As you think, so you become." If you believe that "objects" are a part of the unified web of the Macrocosm, then matter is a delight. Your being may flow into the being of all at the delight of a flower or taste of a berry. Things vibrate and are sustained and invigorated by an invisible, vibrant energy that pervades even empty space. If objects are something to purchase, posses, and fill inner voids, then the objective material world is quite simply an existential hell of separation from natural truth.
If people are a manifestation of spirit, then "brother" and "sister" are everywhere. If people are objects instead of Subjects, then we have separation, continual strife and chaos.
Places and spaces, physical, mental, and spiritual- all vibrate with the tone of spirit behind them. Energy and ideas congeal into things. A sensitive person will easily detect an unhappy house or an unhappy city. There is an aura of discomfort vibrating around these places. The mental energy that created and inhabits these spaces is desperate, compulsive, separate and fearful. Humanity's unconscious being is simply revealed in our social and personal habitations. My teacher, Dada Chidghananda ("Dada" = "brother"), couldn't stand entering cities. He always saw deep into the being of others and knew even their inmost thoughts. When he entered the city he was bombarded by so many unseen thoughts and energies that inhabit those spaces. Little was hidden from him. It is the same phenomenon with cyber spaces. To enter the internet, most especially social media, is but to enter into all of the unseen mental desires and needs that drive humans to project themselves into mental-social spaces. People also project their unseen needs into these spaces and they in fact vibrate and live there. Some spaces are vibrant while some are really dead and only try to devitalize the mind with cyber reflections of what was already a mundane, unnatural, and uncreative mental projection to begin with.

There many choices on the market when it comes time to purchase a multi-tool or multi-function knives; however, two of the most popular knives continue to be the Swiss Army Knife from Victorinox and the Leatherman multi-tool from the Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. Both products are unique in their own way and consist of similar product goals: to provide the owner with a variety of solutions in one small package.
We'll be looking at two similar products for the purpose of this review: the "Huntsman" from Swiss Army and Victorinox, and the "Sidekick" by Leatherman Tool Group. These products are similarly priced, have a similar number of tools and are in the midrange of the products offered by their respective companies.
Leatherman and Victorinox
Victorinox is named after Karl Elsener's mother, Victoria and the international word for stainless steel, "inox," creating the company which invested Swiss Army knives. The company's roots began in 1884 where Karl crafted soldier's knives for the Swiss Army, and the original Swiss Army knife was patented in 1897. The symbol of the cross and shield is now recognizable in over 120 countries and is over 130 years old.
Leatherman Tools Group, Inc. was established in 1983 in Portland, Oregon. A much younger company than Victorinox, Leatherman has still been able to make a name for itself through quality craftsmanship and a wide range of multi-tool products. The company now employs over 800 people in Portland and offers a "no questions asked" 25-year warranty on all its products.
The Huntsman by Victorinox
The Huntsman is part of the medium Swiss Army Knife lineup, selling for under $100 around the globe. This multitool has 15 features and weighs about 3.5oz. It is under 4 inches in length and is less than 1 inch in width.
The Huntsman Features:
- blade, large
- blade, small
- can opener
- screwdriver 3 mm
- bottle opener
- screwdriver 6 mm
- wire stripper
- reamer, punch and sewing awl
- Corkscrew
- Scissors
- wood saw
- multipurpose hook
- Toothpick
- Tweezers
- key ring
Victorinox puts lots of effort into designing a pocket knife system that can stand up to a variety of uses. This multi-function knife offers a wood saw, which is particularly handy given its name of "Huntsman" lending to the utilization of this knife by woodsmen and others who spend time in the great outdoors. The practical uses of this knife are endless: can opener, screwdriver, and wire stripper: these are all things that homeowners or even cottage dwellers would appreciate the convenience of those tools on a regular basis. The clean lines and classic look of the Swiss Army knife is hard to mistake, and consumers know the knife and the company stand for quality and performance.
The Leatherman Sidekick
The Leatherman Sidekick represents a middle of the road multi-tool offered by Leatherman and also retails for under $100. The multi-tool weighs 7 oz and is almost 4 inches in length when it is closed. The tool is made of 420HC stainless steel and offers 14 features and tools.
The Sidekick Features:
- Spring-action Needlenose Pliers
- Spring-action Regular Pliers
- Spring-action Wire Cutters
- Wire Stripper
- 420HC stainless steel Knife
- 420HC stainless steel Serrated Knife
- Saw
- Ruler (1.5 in | 3.8 cm)
- Can Opener
- Bottle Opener
- Wood/Metal File
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Medium Screwdriver
- Small Screwdriver
The Sidekick offers a wide variety of tools that are both practical and convenient. It features a main blade that is 2.6 inches in length, making it an ideal blade for use in the woods, at the cabin, or on the road. The Leatherman warranty on their products is quite comprehensive as they offer a 25-year warranty on all parts and manufacturing and a 10-year warranty on lights used in the multi-tools. The Sidekick is a little on the heavy side, but it's still sleek and we like that it has pliers as a standard feature on all of Leatherman's multi-tools.
Strengths and Weaknesses
It would be easy to argue that one multi-tool is better than the other based on the fact that the Leatherman is made of all metal and steel parts, while the Swiss Army knives use a nylon or cellidor product. There has been some debate about whether or not Victorinox should upgrade its traditional materials used in the recognizable casing of the Swiss Army knife, but changing for the sake of change is not in Victorinox's playbook. They continue to use this "outdated" material because of the history it has and the performance it continues to give Victorinox users.
The Leatherman Sidekick focuses on utility rather than choice. While it does have 14 features, only 1 less than the Huntsman, 3 of those features are pliers, and 3 of them are screwdrivers. The Leatherman is better for throwing in your glove box and having it handy for roadside emergencies or as an extra in your toolbox, while the Huntsman has more choice in its 15 features which makes it more universal to a multitude of uses, including picking your teeth with the toothpick. Both tools are excellent for hiking or camping because of their slim designs and portability. The wood saw, which is featured on both multi-tools, would come in handy in the woods while camping to make shelters or cut small branches for firewood.
The Huntsman is almost half the weight of the Sidekick, and for good reason: the Sidekick is made of much larger tools than the Huntsman, and it's also made of metal and stainless steel. The material makes the Huntsman much lighter on the uptake and makes it easier to carry around in your pocket, making it more of a "pocket knife" than the Sidekick.
It's interesting that Leatherman markets its multi-tools as "tools" and Swiss Army markets its tools as "knives". They do almost the same functions, and both companies offer a wide range of features across many price points. The $60-$70USD range is a good place to start for someone looking to purchase their first knife or multi-tool. Having 14-15 features is a good way to determine if you would use your knife or tool on a regular basis and then it is still affordable enough that you can upgrade to another more functional or robust tool if you find you need more performance from your knife or tool.
So Which is Better?
When it comes to deciding which tool or knife is better, it's going to come down to a discussion on the feel of each tool in your hand. I've used both of these tools: I purchased a Swiss Army Knife from a shop in Switzerland when I was there in 2014, and I have used a Leatherman Multi-tool that my father owned for years. Both of these products deliver on their promise to be durable and well built. I prefer the Swiss Army knife because it is sleek and easy to toss in my backpack or even my pocket. The Leatherman, because of its size and shape, is a little more cumbersome as a "take a long tool" and functions better as a stay at home/workshop kind of tool. Having said that, the pliers on the Leatherman make it ideal for cottage or camping life, and when you are not backpacking, the Leatherman is good for staying put.
Still, though, the century of history and craftsmanship that Swiss Army has come to represent makes me lean more toward the Huntsman. It's a symbol of readiness, and it performs as you would expect. My choice is the Swiss Army knife.

excellent flavor
I love rosemary and bought this in anticipation of cold brewing batches of iced tea all summer. The flavor is excellent and well balanced.
Wonderfully delicious and good for you too.
I really love this tea. I came across it by accident at work and had a sample bag that I heated up for lunch. I loved it so much that I bought the teabags that make the ice tea. It has a delicious berry flavor and it has a wonderful smell. I just love it. I was researching some of the ingredients and found that it might also has some healing properties, which are added benefits in my book. Thank you for making such a wonderful tea.
Absolutely luscious tea bursting with berry flavor and mellowed with a hint of rosemary. An absolute favorite for summer and year round!
Love my iced teas
This tea has a real berry kick slightly sweet, hibiscus slight tart with an earthy undertone of rosemary. Normally I'm not a fan of hibiscus but this marries well with the other flavors.
Citizens seek a single size soon!
Brewed a hot cup with a free sample and discovered my new favorite black currant tea - will purchase as soon as it is offered as a single serving. Seems to be a recurring theme here in the reviews.
