From American Poetry Review July/August 2016:
The Cows
Now that I have read this story about the cows
I think of them at night when I cannot sleep,
how they are so still in their grassy field,
seemingly suspended like animations of themselves.
Even though there are only 3 of them, I count them over and over,
envision them as if I were floating above their pasture,
observe the different stances they choose:
the 3 of them standing bottom to bottom, or
head to head,
sometimes in a row, one behind the other
sometimes side by side.
They stand where they want and nurse their calves.
They lie down in their field when they feel like it.
If the farmer wants to kill one, and it won't get in the truck
he gives up and lets it live.
If the farmer wants to sell one, and it won't get in the truck
he gives up and lets it stay.
I am glad that I read this story by Lydia Davis.
I like to think of how she stood in her window and watched these cows.
I imagine how she may have moved from inside her house to outside her house,
depending on the weather, to stand and watch these cows,
month after month,
and although the details of their days are rather plain
she wrote a very essential story.
Right before I fall asleep I think about how there are no cows where I live
but there are mountains,
and that I watch them move in this same way.
They open and close, depending on the weather
and like these 3 cows, these mountains are a few of the things left
that get to live exactly as they must.
Lay Hold of Me
Remember the giant whooping crane on the county highway
whose mate had been hit, stretched out dead at the center
of the road? She stood by him, wings open and flapping, shrewd
voice anxious, screaming, her dark red crown bowing in her descent
through the rim of despair. With each oncoming car she took a short
running flight to get out of the way, pacing the side of the road until
she could return to him. The next day, when still there, exhausted,
wings tattered and brown, we scraped what was left of her lover
off the asphalt with a snow shovel, and laid the body on the low,
dry threadgrass by the embankment. The birds had come that July
to our swill, which had filled with monsoon rain. She stood there,
close to us, in the still, yellowing grass, her interminable legs wobbling
underneath her body. The long toes of her feet twitching. That
shallow silver dish of my mind chattering, lay hold of me. Lay hold.
(Note: this poem references a story by Lydia Davis from her book can't and won't.)
from Hinchas de Poesia:
by Elizabeth Jacobson Remember how huge I looked in that hideous melon colored dress, the lavender lily print splattered on like giant food stains, and how mind-blowing the sex was? Every tissue inside me swollen to plum ripeness. We outdid ourselves that first year, two babies taking root – it was as if a garden […]
by Elizabeth Jacobson All that summer I marched around Manhattan braless. I wore a white tank top silk-screened with a seagull and my nipples raised the tips of its wings toward the sky. Auden was dead, but I swear I saw his ghost shuffling along St. Mark's Place, in slippers, chewing on a piece of […]
from Her Knees Pulled In
The sun again
too hot sun of nothing growing
up from the earth
like a mined mountain
will leave in its dusk
the shells of insects
a parched tailless lizard
she finds
black bat
hanging by its nails
from the stucco of the house
an owl hole gouged in its back
no place can fill her
the sun having dried
every pore tight
no moisture curls her hair
comes out of her head like copper
won't let her sleep
even her fingernails
can't scratch in

Questions on the Mandukya Karika
Don: Greetings, Sundari, it has been a few months. I hope this finds your situation going well.
Sundari: Thanks, Don, we are both very well.
Don: I have some questions on the Mandukya. On page 47, I think there may be a typo referring to the world as being sentient; it should read "insentient" in the second paragraph, line four. Am I correct?
Sundari: The Mandukya karika is the most advanced and subtle of all Vedanta teachings, and James has done a fabulous job of unfolding it. It explains why the cause-and-effect teaching is not the whole truth.
There are only three sentences in paragraph two. The use of the word "sentient" is correct in the context of the teaching.
Here is the sentence: "On the realization of non-duality, the belief that the world is sentient disappears along with the belief that the Self is sentient."
The Self appears sentient when associated with Maya, and the world appears sentient because of its intimate association with the Self. The Self is not sentient, as the jiva knows sentience because it is that which makes sentience possible.
Don: On page 45 of the Mandukya commentary, it is written:
"Self-knowledge produces a sense of continual entertainment because samsara is a joke, the ever-free Self imagining that it is attached to objects. Jivas who know who they are always are smiling inwardly or outwardly."
How does this work when one sees jivas suffering because of their ignorance, their being so identified with their body-mind-emotion-objects when there is a sense that "I" am them? I ask this because I attended a grief workshop with hospice, of which I am a volunteer, and as I heard the nine other participants tell their stories I could not help observing that "my" perspective was different. They were all so identified with their particular loss, usually a loved one, whereas I saw loss everywhere and as a teaching. I understood that rather than trying to deal with the emotions of a particular loss, the work was to see the attachment to that which is not real, to objects: the practice of discrimination and dispassion.
My response to them I recognize as my own identification with the mind/intellect sheaths, but there was confusion as to my correct action, my particular dharma. Rather than smiling inwardly, I for a brief moment cried because of what I understood or recognized as the veil of ignorance and there was nothing I could do. I could see the matrix/Isvara at work, but could not see how it was working for Don. Why was he there?
One of the slides put up was asking the question, "Why am I talking?" and that spoke to me. I seem always to want to talk too much and I saw that my being there to train to be a grief volunteer was an opportunity for me to learn to listen. What do you see here? I must say that I did hear myself saying throughout the seminar, "Wow, Vedanta is so beautiful," but Don is not sure how to respond/act. Can you provide some clarity, please? Is this all just another case of not discriminating the real from the unreal? Can you provide some insight into what would be the appropriate path for the jiva here, smiling inwardly or crying outwardly?
Sundari: The statement regarding smiling in the face of the suffering of life is spoken from the point of view of the Self, non-duality, not the jiva under the spell of samsara. All the same, it is not meant to demean suffering. Even as a jivanmukta, Self-knowledge is not a magic pill for the ego. We still feel the slings and arrows of life as the jiva, even though we know they are not real. We still need to process difficult emotions like grief. What changes with Self-knowledge is our relationship with experience, good or bad.
The problem with suffering in mithya is an issue for many people. It is very difficult to understand if we look at it from an emotional, dualistic and personal perspective. We must take the dispassionate, big-picture view to make peace with this, as you know. The first thing to understand is that Isvara is not a person, doling out "good" or "bad" karma for any life form. Isvara is consciousness wielding Maya, unaffected by Maya, the gunas. Isvara is karma phala datta, the giver of karma. The gunas create the Field of Existence, which is a lawful universe provided for all jivas (human or otherwise) to live out their karma. Karma itself is value-neutral. It is just action and its results. It only becomes meaningful when we evaluate it. We either like it or don't like it or are indifferent to it. Only in the minds of human beings does action become "karma."
When Vedanta says the world is perfect as it is, we mean that it cannot be anything other than what it is. If the world could be different, assuming Maya "thought" that it was not serving awareness, it would make the world a different place. But it never does. So it must be that there is a good reason for suffering. And indeed there is, motivating a quest for understanding and self-inquiry.
Even if these arguments are not convincing to you, what use is suffering because of the suffering you see? It not only does not change the suffering, it adds a bit of suffering to the total. We jivas have no control over results. If you want to make a positive contribution by helping in some way, do so. But it is a thankless task, so let your contribution be an act of service without any thought of changing things or making them better or different. We must always examine our motives for doing anything; see if it is to make yourself feel better, superior or to give you a purpose in life. Often do-gooders have a hidden agenda, which is really about them rather than the people or situation they purportedly serve. Many have low self-esteem, and "helping" is a way to feel better about themselves. Act to help because it is your nature to do so– or just because you can – with the karma yoga spirit, and leave the results to Isvara. You cannot beat the system. Karma yoga is the only way to peace. We all want the world to be a better place, but it is what it is.
Some people respond to this knowledge by saying, "If one cannot change anything because it is not real, and it is perfect the way it is, why bother trying to help anyone?" But Vedanta says why not help if everything is perfect. Your helping is also perfect. If it is your nature to help, you will help. If not, not. If it is your nature to sometimes help and sometimes not, then that is the way Isvara created you. "Do-gooders," as we call them, are not that popular with Isvara. This is because this kind of mind usually believes that it knows better and sets out to "save" the world or people. This is not a good motivation for doing anything to help, because you are assuming you know more than Isvara does in delivering karma.
Your question, "Why was Don there?": Why was who there? Consciousness is always present, but when it is identified with experience, it suffers. Your dharma as one aiding the dying or survivors should always be as the Self, loving compassion and attention. Just be there for them and listen. Talking is the last thing you need to do, because nobody who has suffered the loss of a loved one wants to hear your story or what you have to say. Many do-gooders are conversational narcissists and use the opportunity to gain mileage for their own suppressed issues. Hold the grief in a safe space, don't try to fix it or change it. I lost both my parents by the time I was 20 to cancer, and trained as a hospice caregiver thereafter. It was an interesting experience. I wanted to learn more about death or, should I say, non-death, being the knowledge-seeker I have always been.
This is what I discovered to be true: do not grieve for the dead. Perhaps the dead think of us as dead, and grieve for us! A sobering thought, not so? Death is only a problem for the living identified with the body-mind.
Finally, and most important, freedom comes when we can see Isvara as both good and bad impersonally, from the dispassionate, non-dual perspective, as the inevitable playing out of the gunas, while still being empathic and helping when we can.
Don: On page 64, 2nd paragraph, of the commentary, it says:
"The Self is never recognized as an object with the help of the mind, because the mind is insentient. It can produce knowledge of objects in the world, but not Self-knowledge. When the mind and the Self are understood to be mithya, apparently real, the Self, which previously seemed to have forgotten itself, recognizes itself and the mind and the world as the Self alone."
I hope it's a typo when it says that "When the mind and the Self are understood to be mithya, apparently real…" because I don't recall ever seeing the capitalized Self being understood as mithya. I don't understand the statement.
Sundari: It is actually correct, but your confusion is understandable because, as stated above, the Mandukya is the most advanced and subtle of all the texts. The sentence would be easier to understand if it said, "When the body-mind (small self) and the CONCEPT of the Self are understood to be mithya, apparently real…"
The Self implies not-Self. When you know you are the Self, there is no satya and mithya for you anymore, they are just concepts/principles used to teach you that you are the Self and can be discarded. Mithya "becomes" satya because it was satya all along. You see everything as just IS-NESS, a direct experience of existence as your identity, the Self.
Don: On page 80, I came across the word adhyaropa and noted the spelling difference, I think, from the glossary in Inquiry into Existence, where it is spelled adyaropa, and above in the glossary the word for projection is spelled adhyasa.
Sundari: Adhyaropa, apavada and adyasa are all have the same meaning: the confusion that comes from projection, confusing one thing for another.

Acts 7 - Steve Wiggins Daily Devotional
"But Stephen, filled by the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw God's glory with Yeshua standing at the right hand of God, and he said, 'Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!' Then they screamed at the top of their voices, stopped their ears, and rushed together against him. They threw him out of the city and began to stone him. And the witnesses laid their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul. They were stoning Stephen as he cried out with a loud voice, 'Lord, do not charge them with this sin!' And saying this, he fell asleep. Saul agreed with putting him to death." Acts 7:55-60, 8:1
Followers of Yeshua were considered to be exclusively Jewish in the early days of the church. The Romans officially considered "Messianics" a sect of Judaism, and the first dispute within the "Church" concerned Jews who were influenced by Gentile culture.
In chapter 6, a dispute broke out between Hebrew and Greek speaking Jews. A prejudice, which existed in mainstream Jewish culture, had made its way into the Messianic community. Greek-speaking widows' were not getting a fair share of the community charity.
Stephen was chosen along with 6 others, to ensure things ran smoothly. Important to note, is how all seven of those chosen, had Greek names. It is obvious that the Apostles wanted to send a message that there should be no prejudice among Messiah's followers, so they chose men of Greek Jewish background to distribute the charity.
By most scholars' accounts, Stephen was a Samaritan. It is evidenced by the biblical references and interpretations he cites in his defense. Samaritans were half-breeds: ½ Jewish, ½ Gentile. At home with neither the Romans, nor religious Jews of Jesus' day, Samaritans were too Jewish to be Gentile, and too Gentile for the Jewish community. In that sense, they are kind of like modern day Israeli Arab Christians.
Not being a "Hebrew speaking" Jew, and most likely known to be a Samaritan, Stephen's words would have been particularly offensive to non-Messianic religious Jews. Perhaps, they tolerated Peter because he was a Hebrew-speaking Jew, speaking boldly in the temple. But they would not stand to be rebuked by a Samaritan.
This perspective helps us understand why Saul, a highly trained Pharisee, would be so zealous against the church. He wasn't necessarily opposing Christianity as a religion. Saul felt half-breeds and apostates were corrupting Judaism. It is ironic is how Paul went on to become the "Apostle to the Gentiles".
According to Jewish custom, whenever someone was sentenced to stoning, there were two lookouts, each posted about a hundred yards away, in opposite directions. Each lookout was given a "cloak" to signal, in case someone was running-in from afar, with evidence that could acquit the condemned. Saul's job at the stoning of Stephen was to be one of those lookouts.

Dear Friends:
Whew ...
We can finally sit back and relax a little. Last week we were all running like crazy people, as we had displays at our two biggest trade shows, NeoCon in Chicago and InfoComm in Orlando. Both going on the same week and half a continent apart! So we had two hard-working teams, one in each city. Our booth at NeoCon was 140 ft feet long. I think the other end was in another zip code, it was so far away.
It was a pleasure to meet old customers and greet new people who stopped by. In fact, it was quite impressive, seeing how many new faces there were.
Our product line was well-received by new and old and our new product offerings seemed to hit a sweet spot. We were especially pleased with our various models of wireless chargers. It looks like that is the way to go. If you'd like to see the display panels you saw at any of our shows, you can do it by visiting https://www.mockett.com/tradeshows.
It was an honor to be invited to speak about "How to Create a More Effective Workspace" and it seemed to go well. We have it on our website at https://www.mockett.com/m125 if you'd like to see.
Still in its infancy but wireless transmission of electrical energy seems the future. Imagine your laptop and task lamp working just fine, charging always, with no cords in sight! It will put us makers of Wire Management into the Buggy Whip era, but we'll figure something out. Seriously - check out U Beam. Or the Bombardier Magic Bus. The future is closer than we think!.
Thanks for coming to our booths, and thanks for your continuing support. You make it all happen.

Semi-home clean
Sandra Lee, the Emmy-award-winning TV host of Semi-Homemade fame, humanitarian, and BF of our very own Gov. Andrew Cuomo, donned her white work gloves and helped more than 300 Girl Scouts clean up the Concert Grove at Prospect Park on April 6. The Girl Scouts of Greater New York made a 100-year commitment to keeping this area of the park ship-shape and squeaky clean. To honor up, the troop does multiple clean-ups during the year to make sure that every scrap of paper is picked up, weeds are kept at bay, and the grove is made beautiful for all of us to enjoy.
Standing O says "Thank you Aunt Sandy and Scouts."

Review RateMetal basin cap will rust
Bought this feeder 2 years ago and it was beautiful and worked great for the first season....and then the bottom metal cap that the flowers sprout from rusted on the bottom (top still looks great). Even after cleaning and trying to remove the rust, it keeps coming back. The rust taints the nectar and makes the feeder unusable. The glass bottle is now being used as a vase because I had to throw the bottom feeder contraption away.Response From WoodstreambrandsKathryn : Consumer Relations Representative
Our feeders are all treated to be rust-resistant and we are sorry to hear that this was not your experience. Please contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-PERKYPET (1-855-737-5973) with any questions or further feedback. We're happy to help.
Review RateLove it!
Beautiful feeder! Yes the neck is narrow but I fill all my feeders with a funnel so it doesn't bother me. I also used a piece of that thick coated wire to hang it so I don't have to tip it when hanging. It's a really pretty feeder. I love the red bottle! Can't wait to get hummers this year!
Review Ratethe picture does not do it justisthis feeder was so simple together and hang. Very beautiful it is still attracting late in the hummingbird season.
Review RatePerfect style, size and color!I bought this as a present for my brother who lives with his fiancée in their new house in Nashville! Style is a good fit
Review RateBeautiful and effective!I bought 4 of these and have to refill them daily. We have at least 50 hummingbirds enjoying these feeders.
Review RateAmazon ReviewBest hummingbird feeder ever! Of course it looks fantastic, and our resident hummers love it. We make our own nectar with sugar boiled in water. We're also lazy, not the type to empty & scrub feeder every week (really, who does that?). With 3-4 regular hummingbirds, the large capacity can last for several weeks. As the feeder is in shade almost all day, we've never had the nectar go funky on us, even in a Phoenix summer. After maybe 1 1/2 -2 years, some of the red coloring has flaked off the very bottom of the bottle - it's not red glass throughout, but has held up really well. The metal top part with the flowers is sturdy and mates up with the plastic bottom making a secure seal. Our feeder got knocked off a perch about 4 feet high, onto river rocks, and cracked the plastic threads inside. The bottle survived, and the metal top got a bit bent. Now it leaks a bit and the threads won't hold securely (a larger bird partially dislodged the feeder portion, spilling a half full bottle of nectar). So, we're buying another one! We've uploaded a slow-motion video of our backyard hummers enjoying and fighting over the feeder, AFTER it was first broken!
Review RateAmazon ReviewLooks great and my hummingbirds are going to be soooo attracted to the bright red color of shimmering glass.
Review RateAmazon ReviewGot this for my Grandma for Christmas, it's so pretty and she loves it!!
Review RateAmazon ReviewIt's beautiful. I wish it had the little stand for the hummingbirds to rest, but I think it'll work fine. :)
Review RateAmazon ReviewVery good quality glass bottle and feeder, I noticed there were some sharp plastic sprues on the inside of the plastic bowl, I simply smoothed them down with my dremmel. I didn't want to risk the birds scratching their long tongues on the sprues. It only took a sec. Other than that, it is very nice, the wire assemblage for hanging is very strong, just went through a huge rain storm and did not fall off hook or fill with rain, as some cheap feeders have done. Glass bottle is easier to keep clean of mold than plastic bottles.

Hummingbird Migration:
- Visit the Perky-Pet hummingbird migration map to track an approximate time of when hummingbirds will begin visiting your feeder
- Hummingbirds migrate every year for variety and abundance of insects and flowering plants
- Hummingbirds travel back to the tropics once the weather gets colder, or when their internal instincts alert them it's time
- Migration typically begins sometime in late February and ends in late September
- Tips
Hummingbird Feeders - Expert Tips
Hanging Your Feeder
- Ideally a sheltered southeastern exposure location is best for hanging bird feeders since birds like to feed in the sun and out of the wind. Birds also prefer not to have any obstructions over their feeding area so they can see any predators. more»
Feeder Care
- Keeping your feeder clean and full of fresh bird seed is very important to the health of visiting birds. It is recommended that you clean your wild bird feeder every two weeks. more»
- FAQs
Hummingbird Feeders - FAQs
Q: What criteria should I use when selecting a hummingbird feeder?
A: Make sure it is one that will be easy to clean and fill, especially since you will need to clean the feeder every few days. If you are worried about bees and wasps or ants invading the feeder, purchase a hummingbird feeder with bee guards, such as the Perky-Pet model #203CP or ant guards, Perky-Pet model #242.
Q: How do I clean my hummingbird feeders?
A: Hummingbird feeders need to be cleaned every 1-2 weeks. Use hot water and a bottle brush, along with mild soap; be sure to rinse thoroughly. The Perky-Pet cleaning mop is specifically designed for the purpose of cleaning hummingbird feeders, and is very convenient to use. This cleaning mop can also be used on seed feeders and oriole feeders for those small, tight spaces that are difficult to reach.
Q: What is the importance of providing water for hummingbirds?
A: Hummingbirds need fresh, clean water just as much as they need nectar. Hummingbirds stay healthy by using water not just for drinking, but also bathing, cleaning their feathers and to remove parasites. Waterers are better options than bird baths because they provide hummingbirds with fresh, clean water that prevents dirt and debris from contaminating it. In hotter climates or seasons, providing water for hummingbirds makes it easy for them to have access to a water source and retain their energy.

Belgian tax: nowhere to hide
The EU Savings Directive was a rude wake-up call when the Belgian tax authorities started enquiring about overseas bank accounts.
And when Belgian banks started reporting to the tax authorities abroad, they thought "Surely, Luxembourg and Switzerland would never do that … ". Even that is a thing of the past.
Common Reporting Standard
The Common Reporting Standard is the world's answer to FATCA, the American law obliging banks all over the world to report the bank accounts of American citizens to the IRS.
The Common Reporting Standard goes further; it is a Global FATCA ("GATCA"?). This year, banks, brokers and certain insurance companies and collective investment vehicles in 50 countries will be reporting about your financial situation and income in 2016 to the Belgian tax authorities.
What information will they receive?
- the numbers of all your bank accounts,
- the investment income before tax: interest, dividends, income from certain insurance contracts, …);
- the proceeds from the sale of financial assets (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, …);
- the account balance or the value of the account or insurance policy;
This is why your bank keeps asking for a copy of your identity card: they need your contact details and your taxpayer identification number (TIN) so that the information ends up in your tax file. And if you have a company or a trust, the bank has to look through it to find the ultimate beneficiary.
50 more states will follow suit in 2018, and this Global FATCA network will only expand. All offshore financial centres (like Liechtenstein or Panama) are already participating, except for Palau (where is that?). You cannot hide your wealth any more unless you open a bank account in Afghanistan or Zimbabwe.
The EU Member States have agreed to go even further. Since 2014 they are exchanging other information that they have, e.g. through tax returns, employer's or pension office declarations. They know that you have:
- income from employment;
- director's fees;
- pensions;
- life insurance products;
- real estate and rental income.
All this means is that you cannot forget to report any income.

Those in control of the Qatari media succeeded in isolating the Qatari people from their Gulf surrounding and left them talking to themselves. Qatari media outlets had not found any echo outside their Qatari environment. Al-Jazeera itself horribly failed at marketing the Qatari stance outside Doha. Qatar is not in harmony with its Gulf surrounding, and the upcoming Gulf Summit is an appropriate opportunity for the Gulf media to confirm to everyone and to the Qatari people that Gulf countries hold on to them and to the Gulf Cooperation Council. However, most likely Kuwait will apologize and not host the summit.
Whether the summit is postponed until next year or Saudi Arabia hosts it, we must confirm to everyone that the GCC stands and we're the most concerned about it. We must assert that our rejection of the Qatari regime's presence is to confirm that the principles which the six countries agree on are the principles which must be adhered to as if they're lost, the council is lost and if a member country violates them, it must be deterred so the council remains coherent.
It's a chance for the Gulf media to remind of the principles on which the GCC was established in the 1970's. These principles were based on the beliefs of the six countries' leaders and people, and they confirm that what threatens us is one and that our fate is one. The 13 demands currently asked of Qatar aim to root out terrorism. Qatar became a state member threatening the council's countries after it tampered with their security and stability and supported unrest in them.
The Gulf summit's timing is a chance to address the Qatari people who have been recently talking to themselves and who have been dragged away from the source of the problem by their media outlets.Sawsan Al Shaer

Twitter has made follower counts appear less noticeable on its iOS application by making the text size smaller in a new redesign effort, as per a Twitter employee. The change comes after CEO Jack Dorsey more than once said that he needs to reconsider how the organization could prioritize "important" discussions over numbers like retweets, likes, and follows. Follower counts are only one snippet of data that has been de-emphasized by way of this redesign. A Twitter spokesperson unveiled that different subtle details like locations, birthday events, join dates, mutual follows, and following counts have been made smaller as well. The type and spacing sizes have been changed to prioritize a few snippets of data on user profiles over others, the employee said. The change is elusive, yet it's a part of Twitter's plans to rehash a portion of the features of the platform. By decreasing the text dimensions, user' eyes aren't drawn to the number as much as when it's bigger. In past meetings, Dorsey has more than once noted that he might want to make follower counts a less essential element on user profiles. By emphasizing an accounts' number of followers, Dorsey trusts it boosts people to post all the more polarizing content that can possibly circulate around the web and draw in more followers, making a more disruptive and dangerous discourse on the platform. In a meeting in New Delhi, Dorsey said that when building up the platform, he and his team at first "made the [followers] text dimension somewhat bigger than everything else on the page. We didn't really contemplate it and proceeded onward to the following issue to comprehend. What that has done is we put all the emphasis, not intending to, on that number of what number of individuals follow me. So, if that number is huge and bold, what would individuals like to do with it? They need to influence it to go up." Follow counts are one part in Twitter's reconsidering of a portion of the core aspects of its platform. Rumors emerged a month ago that the organization was thinking whether to remove the "like" feature for tweets also, yet it never affirmed those reports. A portion of these changes have all the earmarks of being on Android effectively, similar to the follower account text dimension, however, different snippets of data, like join date, still seem bigger.

Today's vintage outfit is this really fun 1960s/1970s hippie dress with bright embroidery on the sleeves & down the front.
I love the bright colors on this dress & the butterfly wing sleeves. The maxi dress traces its history to Oscar de la Renta creation in 1968. By the 1970s, it was a "must-have" fashion item; however, by the end of the 70s it was no longer popular. I picked up this dress recently at Dorothea's Closet Vintage. It reminds me very much of dresses I wore in the 1970s!
With my maxi, I wore 3 pieces of jewelry I've made, including this necklace that I made out of old catalin game pieces I got at a garage sale & red plastic beads.
I also wore this brightly colored bracelet that I made out of old bakelite (?) game pieces I found at an antique mall here in Des Moines.
And, finally, I wore this pair of earrings I made with vintage buttons.
It pretty much rained all day today, so it was nice to be wearing a brightly colored dress & jewelry to offset how gloomy it was outside!

Traditionally, a boarding school consists of residential living, strict schedules, and a live in staff. This structure is modeled after classic British boarding schools and has been adapted by varies cultures throughout time. Today boarding schools have evolved into facilities with individual values. Young men and their parents now have the option to attend a military, college prep, behavioral, therapeutic, or religious boarding school. Many parents are drawn to the single-sex boarding school structure, which has proven results of academic success within the students.
Choosing the right boys boarding school is dependent on the factors of why it's up for consideration. If your teenage son is struggling academically, behaviorally, or within your family dynamic; they might require outside assistance to work through the root cause of the problem. This is where specialty boarding schools such as therapeutic facilities become useful. Obtaining professional help in a stable environment could be a life-changing path for young men who are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, serious depression, and severe ADHD.
If the young man is displaying behavioral issues such as criminal activity, sexually acting out, or serious bullying; they might be masking a more serious issue. Behavioral boarding schools focus on instilling proper values and respect into the students. This is done to ensure that these behavior issues are discontinued and the students learn to live a more functional lifestyle. Both therapeutic and behavioral boarding schools are options available to parents when they are in need of assistance with their teenage son.
However, many boarding schools are filled with bright young men that display enhanced success in the stable and safe environment. Boarding schools such as college prep facilities strive for the academic and personal achievement of the students. Due to the private nature of the schools, it becomes impossible for students to skip classes, miss assignments, or get into trouble. These boarding schools also offer a variety of sports and activities that give the students an outlet for creativity and aggression.
Whether you're interested in sending your troubled son to a facility for at-risk teens or would like to provide him with the opportunity for further achievement; there is a type of boarding school available. While boarding schools are not a perfect fit for every student, for some it can be a useful platform for success later on in life.

My Phantom Birthday in LA 2010
Farewell? How can you say goodbye to a company
that has been very special to you? The Phantom of the Opera "Music Box" Company US Tour has been very special
to me. My first time seeing the show was on September 24th, 2005 in Atlanta and my last time was on my 25th birthday on October
7th, 2010 in Los Angeles. Kim Stengel and D.C. Anderson were the only cast members that were still in the show when I first
saw Phantom in Atlanta back in 2005. All of the cast members are very special to me. I'm very happy I got to see a husband
and wife Phantom and Elizabeth Southard in 2005. Kelly Grant, The Alternate Christine, has been very helpful to me with getting
stage door directions and writing to me. D.C. Anderson gave me a backstage tour in Orlando 2010.I've seen the show four
times on the tour. Each performance meant the world to me. The most special thing was that I saw Phantom on my 25th birthday
in Los Angeles.I attended the farewell stop of Phantom on October 7th, 2010, at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles,
on my 25th birthday, with my friend Pamela. The Pantages Theatre was very beautiful; we sat in the center section of the balcony.
We had a great view. It was probably one of the best seats I've ever had because I could see everything. The cast was
amazing as ever. It was my first time seeing Trista Moldovan performs as Christine in the show. I thought she was great. She
had a great voice. Tim Martin Gleason was as amazing as always playing The Phantom. It was my third time seeing him play the
role. He's my favorite Phantom next to Michael Crawford. Sean MacLaughlin, D.C. Anderson, Michael McCoy, Luke Grooms,
Kim Stengel, Nancy Hess and Paloma Garcia-Lee were amazing as well. The entire cast was amazing.I always cry when
The Phantom says "I love you" at the end. Of course, I cried during it. Tim had the softest "I love yous".
It made me cry each time I've seen the show. Thank you Tim for making this phan girl cry at the ending of Phantom.It's
sad that I won't ever get to see this amazing cast together again. They were amazing. They are my favorite cast that
I've ever seen. I'm very happy to have supported and followed them through the closing of the tour. They mean
the world to me. It was very special spending my birthday with them. It's not like every day you can see your favorite
cast on your birthday. I'm happy I could spend it with them. Thank you The Phantom of the Opera US Tour

A Ferrari SP38 was unveiled a few days ago and spawns from the Ferrari One-Off programme. The unique project was commissioned by one of the Italian automaker's most devoted customers. Who, aside from the apparent exquisite taste, remains a mystery.
The Ferrari SP38 makes use of underpinnings (chassis and running gear) from the 488 GTB. It was designed by the Ferrari Design Centre with a purpose to create a car for the road and track because the client has a "deep passion for racing". As a result, the client worked with Ferrari on the car from conception. Together they combined design ideas with their individual needs. It usually takes the Italian automaker around 18 months on average to build a custom car, depending on the project.
The SP38 is powered by a twin-turbo mid-engine V8 making some 492 kW (660 hp) and 760 Nm of torque. Much like the 488 GTB, the SP38 rockets from 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and from 0-200 km/h in 8.3 seconds. Moreover, it has a top speed of 330 km/h.
SP38 Design
Inspiration for this one-off car was also drawn from the mighty Ferrari F40 of the 80s. Which Ferrari says can be seen in the rear wing and engine cover. The SP38 has a thoroughly sensual and modern design and was completed with all-new bodywork. The car was finished in a new three-layer metallic red paintwork. Additionally, the cabin has a full Tailor Made trim.
A little design details as explained by Ferrari:
"Compared to the 488 chassis, the visual mass of SP38 appears concentrated over the rear wheels as the wedge design sharply stretches towards the front. In plan view, the strongly tapered nose expands towards muscular wheel arches, giving the car potency and agility.
Specific inset headlights were designed to be as thin as possible. Therefore the mandatory DRL (daytime running lights) units were relocated to add character and functionality to a slim bumper lip. Which is consequently reminiscent of the 308 GTB. On the side, the defining air scoop of the 488 GTB is completely concealed where the sheet metal folds in on itself from the low beltline on the door and into the rear wheel arch and three-quarter light."
The Ferrari SP38 had one public reveal before getting locked away in its mystery owner's collection. This took place at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, on the shores of Lake Como, Italy, this past weekend.

Copyright Marching Hundred Meals. All rights reserved.
-Email us at email@example.com to get added to our mailing list.
-I live in Bloomington. If you are coming in for a game and want to meet up beforehand to drop off supplies let me know. During the marching band season, I try and check the email box daily. But feel free to call or text me anytime at 812-327-0306. I do work a non-traditional schedule though(graveyard shift!) so bare with me if I don't get back to you immediately.
-A limited number of parking passes (usually four or five) are available from the Athletic Department. They are for the grassy lot next to Marching Hundred Hall. If you are donating supplies and need a pass for the game, let me know! Otherwise, you can usually pull up on the East side of the building long enough to run supplies in.
- These marchers require LOTS of water on these hot days. We usually ask for a lot of donated cases of water at the beginning of the season and then take it off the requested items list as we build up a supply. We do have storage space in Marching Hundred Hall for cases of water and other non-perishable supplies.
-Some meals are more expensive than others, but on average it costs about $1000 per game to feed these hungry marchers (roughly $3 each). The good news is, there are only six home games this year as opposed to seven so that cuts down on expenses. We have found that it is easier to purchase items in bulk but we still welcome individual donations of small food items. All donations and expenses are published on this site, and any excess donations not used are held over for the next year.
-My daughter is a Senior this year so we'll be looking for someone to take over this program next year. You do not have to be local, multiple people could share tasks. I have someone who is thinking about it but it can always be a group effort. Let me know if you are interested.
-In the past, we have received requests to provide vegan, gluten free, and other special dietary accommodations. While we would love to be able to do this, it is simply too complicated due to the size of our group. We do offer a vegetarian option at every meal, as well as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for those you prefer not to eat the main meal.

Monstrosity Bike
You would agree that the folding bike is famous for its funny and weird. Some of the most oddly named Monstrosity Bike. Weird bike is owned by Richard Loncraine bike collector.
Monstrosity Bike is a half body bike which is changed from the shape intact. With the rear wheel remains the same but the front is removed. The result is a bike becomes Small and petite, maybe like folding bike. Because the riders need good balance, the bike is not paired tooth removal. There is (hopefully) a fixed gear(there are no brakes on it, we didn't find it) to keep the bike in a stable speed and has no toe-clips on the pedals. It looks like an already-folded folding bike.
To ride this bike needs a good balance skills. Not easy to do anything else if used for everyday transportation needs. But for style, I give two thumbs up.
I suggest you better buy a normal bike, if you want a bike. Do not choose that bike, because this obviously not used by people generally.

Pakistan has had a drugs problem for decades. Nobody sets out in life to become a drug addict or substances abuser. According to the United Nations office of drug and crime, Pakistan has 6.7 million drug users; more than 4 million of these are addicts. This is amongst the highest rates in the world.
We see hardly any preventive measures, despite the shocking numbers. it is a gradual process though poverty and unemployment are regularly cited in international studies as to the reasons why people become addicted. One more reason is injustice. A young mind is too tender to bear any act of injustice. This type of disappointment is very dangerous. Most of the time it forces the youngsters to commit suicide. The worst thing about being addicted to drugs is that it is affecting the youth in every part of the world in a major way. The trouble starts among the school-going children but the problem is exacerbated with abetment by those who wish to earn money out of selling drugs. Drugs addiction among the youth is killing them morally and socially as well as psychologically and even physically. And, drug barons are becoming increasingly wealthier by supplying these drugs that are causing untold misery. An NGO reported that about 56% of the students in leading private school chains are addicted to various kinds of drugs.
They were the main reasons and every problem has the solution. According to experts, the easiest and most effective solution would be top send addicts to a rehabilitation center. First of all awareness and prevention must start at home, with parents and peer groups. They should be vigilant and keep an eye on the company their children keep and their activities to give them same kind of motivation so they can feel normal. Awareness raising campaigns should be launched because only awareness can stop this. People do blame the government every time but, for how long shall we blame them and turn a blind eye to such critical issues? It is now time to be responsible in our actions. The government alone cannot force every addict to get himself admitted to rehabilitation centers nor does it have the resources to build such a large number of institutions. Rather the state can help by importing technical services, information, skills and donors to let private health service providers play their role.

Nicola Rexha for Pappa Roma
The Di Bosco for Pappa Roma in South Kensington, London, was crowned the National Pizza of the Year 2017.
Rexha's Signature Pizza Di Bosco – which means 'From the Woods' – was praised by the judges for its seasonality, high quality and perfectly balanced flavours.
"We usually cook by the season in the restaurant and we're in mushroom season, so for Di Bosco we used wild mushrooms, truffle, stracciatella and 24-month aged parma ham," says Rexha. "All of the toppings are top quality and chosen in the right season and weather, so that's the inspiration behind it. And I just really love truffle."

Donkey2883 asked:
I need some advice. Last January I had to drop out of my second year of University due to financial reasons, I was getting a grant and a loan form Student Finance England to pay for student fees. The financial issue I was having was due to SFE refusing to fund me in any way for my first year and as a result I had to work full time and study full time. I ended up burning out in January and had to quit Uni with the aim of starting my second year on a part time basis when I've sorted myself out.
Now 9 months later I get a letter from Advantis DCA asking for the GRANT (not the loan) back that I received at the beginning of the second year.
Essentially Student Finance have sold on £1995 to Advantis, I wasn't even aware SFE had even tried to get in contact with me but they say they have and now the supposed debt has been sold on.
My question is given that the debt is based on a grant and not a loan would the 3 letter process still work?
has anyone ever been in this scenario before?
ceylon replied:
yes debt letters will sort this out
Donkey2883 replied:
Thanks for that Ceylon, I'll get started with it.
sonix replied:
Bit common in these days but don't worry. If you have your debt letter then they will help out.
Donkey2883 replied:
Thought I would give you an update about what has been going on with Advantis Credit Ltd, the DCA that has been trying to enforce £1355 from the student Loans Company.
1 – I sent the first letter, after a few days later I got a letter saying the Advanits will be treating my correspondence as a complaint.. But as they had not sent me the documentation that was asked for I sent the second letter.
2 – The second letter was sent, a few days later they I got another letter from Advantis saying that all attempts of collect on any debt would be put on hold until they could obtain the Deed of Novation, Deed Of Assignment and the original note autherised by me with a wet ink signature, from the Student loans company…. (even though they should of already had them by that point 😆 😆 ) .. but they did not send what I asked for so I carried on and sent the third letter.
3 – The third letter was sent. After a few weeks I received another letter from them saying that as Advantis was ONLY collecting the debt and that the Deed of Novation, Deed Of Assignment and the original note autherised by me with a wet ink signature was not needed… (I had a chuckle at this 😆 😆 😆 😆 ) It also said that if I did not reply to the letter within 14 days then they would attempt to collect on the debt again… which is fine because at that point I would be sending the Estoppel in 10 days.
4- The Estoppel was sent and they received it on the 9th of December on the 15th December I got another letter trying to claim on the debt again.. so they got the estoppel and then tried to claim again…. So I have billed them for £3000.
5 – I have just got another letter from them saying that they are dropping all attempts to the collect the debt and will be handing it back to the Student loans company and Student loans may get in contact with me about the money 😆 😆 😆 good times.
So advantis has 3 more weeks to pay me the £3k before I start making demands. I will be taking this to small claims court if I have too.
Question though.. If this does go all the way to small claims court do I have to go to a small claims court in Stoke-on-Trent (which is where they are based) or can I make the claim where live (East Midlands).
I'm starting to enjoy myself with this, so much so that I have had £500 written of from MK Rapid recoveries for my brother.. only took 1 letter to get them to do it. I will send them the final 2 letters and the estoppel as well just to make sure 😆
Many thanks to everyone who set this website up and run the forum, its appreciated.
Donkey2883 replied:
So after the 3 letter process to the Student Loans Company they have decided that they are going to refer my account to Smith Lawson & Company…
funnily enough this week has been an interesting week for the SLC as they have been getting some heat from the media about using Pay Day loan style tactics to recover supposed debt… such tactics as pretending to be a Law firm to send even more threatening letters and avoid accusations of harassment.
http://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/student … 76.article
[ https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/student-loans-company-suspends-misleading-recovery-letters/5041976.article ]
I guess sending separate letters to my parents at the same time and who also still live with each other wasn't scummy enough tactic for them to use.
Loopylouz91 replied:
I am in a similar situation. I left uni a couple of years ago. Advantis have now contacted me regarding a grant over payment of £2550. I'm really not sure what to do I have no idea regarding any form of letters. I'm stuck! It's compleatly making me really poorly. I really don't know what to do!!!!

If you have the chance (after 6pm is a great time) go find these games. They are located in the hallway around room 124. You can find them by a circle of chairs with around 12 players. There are around 20 different circles. This was the highlight of GenCon for my family and me.
We just wanted something to do for 2 hours (8pm to 10pm) so randomly picked this activity. We got a 2 hour ticket for $2. We joined our first ever game of Are you a Werewold".
Was it fun? Well to answer that, we stopped playing at 2 am. If we were not falling asleep we would have stayed until 4am.
This is a great activity and a chance to talk with a bunch of other gamers. All 4 of my family said this was the highlight of our GenCon in 2018.

Dog bites cause serious injuries every year in Iowa. Dog bites are especially dangerous for young children who may be unaware of the dangers of dog bites while interacting with an animal. The proximity of a small child's face to the jaws of a large dog make children especially at risk for head and facial injuries. The owner of a dog may be held liable for damages caused by dog bite injuries, especially if the owner knew that the dog had a propensity for viciousness.
Strict Liability Laws for Dog Bites in Iowa
Strict liability laws are intended to protect dog bite victims regardless of whether or not the owner of the dog was negligent. This means that in most cases, dog owners are considered liable regardless of their conduct. If a dog escapes from its leash, for example, the steps an owner took to try to prevent the dog from running away will not bar a claim for damages if the dog bites another person. Some states follow the "one bite" rule which means that a dog owner can avoid liability if they did not know about a dog's dangerous tendencies.
Iowa does not follow the "one bite" rule--dog owners are held strictly liable for damages caused by dog bites. Liability for dog owners is codified in § 351.28 of the Iowa Code. An exception to strict liability in Iowa is criminal conduct on the part of the victim which directly contributed to the injury.
For example, if the dog bite victim was trespassing on the dog owner's land when bitten, the owner will usually not be held liable because the person bitten was committing a crime by trespassing, and the criminal conduct directly contributed to the injury. If the bite victim was provoking a dog until it attacked and their conduct met the elements of a charge of animal cruelty, this is another example of a criminal act which could prohibit the victim from recovering damages in a civil lawsuit.
Dog owners are expected to keep enclosures safe so that small children cannot enter the property. If a dog bite case involves a young child, a court may consider whether the owner of the land knew or should have known that children would be able to enter the property and whether or not the child was too young to understand that they were trespassing. Whether or not an exception applies will depend on the facts of the case.
Talk to an experienced Iowa personal injury attorney to discuss your rights to claim damages after a dog bite injury.
Are Dog Bite Injuries Covered by Insurance?
Many dog bite injuries are covered by insurance. Homeowners insurance umbrella policies will usually cover dog bites that happen on the owner's property. Some policies will even cover dog bites that did not occur on the owner's property. Whether or not an insurance policy covers dog bites will depend on the specific language contained in the policy. Some insurance policies will only cover one incident by the same dog. If a dog owner ignores a dog's dangerous tendencies, many policies explicitly state that they will not cover further damages.
Some people worry that they will cause hurt feelings if they sue a friend or family member because of a dog bite. Filing a claim does not mean that the plaintiff is trying to take the defendant's personal assets. Compensation in a civil lawsuit is intended to put the plaintiff back into the position that they would have been if the incident had never happened. Costs including legal fees are often fully covered by insurance.
Many people also worry that their friend or family member will lose their family pet if they file a cause of action. Plaintiffs do not need to be concerned that a dog will be put down if they file a claim because there is no connection between filing a civil case to sue for damages and enforcement of local ordinances that require vicious dogs to be put to sleep.
Landlords will generally not be responsible for their tenant's pets causing harm unless it can be proven that the landlord was negligent and that the negligence contributed to the incident. Many renters insurance policies will cover many different types of claims, including dog bites. Some types of pet insurance cover dog bites.
Homeowners insurance when available will usually cover damages associated with a dog bite including medical bills and property damage. Any damages in excess of the policy limits will be the responsibility of the homeowner. Victims of dog bite injuries will typically claim damages for immediate medical treatment as well as the cost of any rehabilitation and follow-up treatment. Some victims may suffer from permanent facial scarring and may make a claim for emotional damages.
What should I do if I was bitten by a dog in Iowa?
If you or a loved one has been bitten by a vicious dog, you should contact an attorney after getting immediate medical treatment. Call Shawn Smith today to schedule a consultation. Contact the Smith Law Firm, PC online or call (855) 451-1260.

What is Aggressive Accounting?Read Now
Your dedication is not a required conversation because it shows." - Fontenot & Associates Solutions
As a part of my CPA world I would like to share and encourage those in the accounting profession or business owners to learn more about aggressive accounting.
Aggressive accounting is the use of optimistic projections or gray areas in the accounting standards to create financial statements that present a rosier picture of a company than is actually the case. These actions are taken to give the investment community a falsely enhanced view of a business, or for the personal gain of management.
Examples of aggressive accounting practices include:

Possession or Distribution of Child Pornography- Stern Shapray, Criminal Lawyers
Possessing or distributing adult pornography is not a crime. However, if the subject of the pornography is a youth, you may be charged with possession of child pornography or distributing child pornography. Most commonly, these types of charges arise as a result of police investigations that begin with investigators tracking the sharing of child pornography over the internet.
A conviction for possessing or distributing child pornography can result in lengthy jail sentences and impact current or future employment, educational or housing opportunities. Any conviction for a pornography related offence will be made public and may therefore continue to impact your life long after your sentence is complete.
Surrey Criminal Lawyers for Child Pornography Offences The lawyers at Stern Shapray, Criminal Lawyers, Surrey criminal lawyers, have extensive experience and a strong record of success defending clients against all types of internet offences including the possession and distribution of child pornography. If you are facing child pornography charges, and are ready to discuss your case, please contact our office for a free and confidential consultation as soon as possible.

06 Oct Bonnie and Steve | The Wedding
Bonnie and Steve are very cute together. Bonnie carries a very distinguished beauty about her and Steve is a lovely, relaxed fella and they are both very besotted with each other. Can't blame 'em really.
Although you could never tell from their photos or their expressions, these guys had a couple of rough days leading up to the wedding. The storms on the Thursday and Friday were so severe with hail and pelting winds – one gust decided to try to rip the roof of Steve's beloved Combi van (one of the bridal cars) clean off, but thankfully the gods showed a little mercy and the roof held on by a thread – enough to allow Steve to pop-rivet it shut in time for Saturday. Top that off with Bonnie and half the family coming down with a bug on the Friday that left Bonnie and her Mum 'driving the porcelain bus' for half the night and you'd be forgiven for expecting a few more disasters on the wedding day.
But, as so often happens, Karma was on their side, the bugs let up and the hail and rain stayed away.
The ceremony and reception were held at the Cruising Yacht Club of SA at North Haven and we disappeared with the bridal party to Port Adelaide for an hour of photos before heading back for the festivities.
We had a great day and with any luck Bonnie and Steve are enjoying a well earned break on their honeymoon,
Cheers, Luke

Integrating VividCortex with VictorOps
It's easy to integrate VividCortex with your existing workflow and team tools. Included on our growing list of integrations is VictorOps. If you're not familiar with VictorOps, it's a SaaS solution designed to help manage teams' workflows after an incident is opened: it helps you handle alert routing, message delivery, on-call rotation, scheduled maintenance, escalation, and more. (If you're building these things yourself, you're probably Doing It Wrong).
Integrating VividCortex with VictorOps is quick and simple. In the VividCortex dashboard, under your environment's settings, you'll find two key preferences for this:
- How should events be aggregated into incidents? This is essentially a
GROUP BY. You can select options such as hostname and event type.
- How should incidents be notified? Here you can configure integrations such as VictorOps, publish the incidents to the integrations, and then
you're done.
For more details on how to set up a VictorOps integration, see the VividCortex documentation and follow the instructions. Or, if you're a customer, just message us via the in-app chat and we'll be happy to help you set it up!
