A word from La Gloutonnerie - South Beach
With an original outpost in Mexico City, La Gloutonnerie brings elegant French fare with a sophisticated bistro appeal to the area. The menu is classic French with modern twists and refinement. La Gloutonnerie is French enough to feel exotic, but cozy enough to make it your Friday night fix.

What an excellent meal, the
service was spot on, the table located in the garden was very pleasant. Food was top notch, with a great wine list. "

Great outdoor dining. Perfect for
a romantic dinner. The steak tartar was very good and well-prepared."
Dined on 4/1/2014
We didn't know what to expect for
our first ever visit here but once we got seated and decided on our champagne, wine and menu, everything turned out to be spectacular! We had the Coquille Saint Jacques, Le Thon Carpaccio, split the Salades des Cotes D'Armor and then shared the superb 18oz L'Entrecote A Notre Facon. The general manager happened to be our main waiter and he made the evening a very special one. My wife is turning 60 this year so we're trying to make every outing an event. This has been one of those special nights. I would recommend La Gloutonnerie to anyone and look forward to another visit in the future."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Just everything about this place
is AMAZING. It's a MUST!!! I've been back 6 times in the last two years and with every visit to South Beach, I swear I fall more in love with La Gloutonnerie. It's sexy, it's romantic, it's gorgeous. The French cuisine is made with the utmost care… flavors just wow your palate with every spoon or forkful. Dinner? SPECTACULAR. Brunch? PHENOMENAL. I've been by myself, brought my fiancé, had friends come with, and brought clients - none have ever been anything but in love with their experience & meals. And while we've all travelled the world with our fair share of world renowned cuisine - it has been said (and not lightly) that La Gloutonnerie is in the top two meals any of us have ever had in our lives."
Dined on 3/27/2014
Outstanding garden setting,
outstanding menu and food, good and reasonably priced wine list, outstanding service. It is in a quiet neighborhood at the southern end of South Beach which is in easy walking distance of most of Ocean Drive hotels. Classic French in food and service."
Dined on 3/28/2014
as always, the food and service
was very good, close to excellent. The price a little high for brunch , however compared to others that charge a little less $$$ , THIS one is far superior on the food quality and choices ."
Dined on 3/30/2014
I tried this restaurant because it
was too late on Saturday to get a reservation at Prime 112, Prime Italiano or Red. I read the reviews of others and thought it would be nice to try a new restaurant. The food is way overpriced for quality of food. Half the restaurant was hot and the other half was cold. We were seated in the hot half. On the positive: Service was very good and staff was very pleasant. Because of the food and prices, I don't think we will return."
Dined on 3/29/2014
We were staying downtown South
Beach and looking for a place in walking distance without the craziness of the normal hot spots. We found La Gloutonnerie through the reviews on Open Table and made a reservation in the early afternoon for that evening. What a treat! The outdoor garden is beautiful...tranquil and romantic...The tables are comfortable, not too close together so you can have an easy conversation. Food was terrific -- oysters and tuna appetizers (lovely), the roast chicken was cooked perfectly and was too much to finish; and my husband had the branzino and really enjoyed it as well. The chocolate soufflé was a perfect finish. On our next trip down from NYC, we will certainly return here. Great find."
Dined on 3/22/2014
I really like the menu here. Very
hard to choose what to eat. If you can sit outside. It is a great garden setting with enough noise from the street to feel lively, but not so much to encroach on conversation."
Dined on 12/13/2013
lots of fresh seafoods to sample,
savory choices great flavors, and being French, the dessert spread was lengthy. we ate outside in the shade and it was chic and relaxing. a great choice to have a Sunday Funday. for $50, you get 2 drinks and this level of food, a great decadent deal."
Dined on 3/15/2014
Away from the hectic and noisy
South Beach scene, we enjoyed a great meal in an outside garden patio. The service here is excellent and they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our meals. We started with tomato soup that had a wonderful spice and needed just a bit more cream fresh, and salade chavignol which did not skimp on the goat cheese. Followed by a Duck confit and boeuf bourguignonne that was exceptional. Only complaint was the lighting was so dim from hanging lanterns that we required some help with extra lights from the waiter. On the other hand it is a romantic spot that will not disappoint."
Dined on 3/18/2014
Really good and authentic French
cuisine. If it is available have the chocolate soufflé (to die for)! Impeccable service."

A very good restaurant for Dinner

Couldn't be better. This is my 7th

My wife and I have been to La
Gloutonnerie several times and have enjoyed all our experiences there. They have attentive staff, the food is very tasty, the bread is awesome, Service is great. Nice romatic spot outside. Not noisy, can hold a nice conversation."

Went there for brunch. The food
was outstanding. I left with a smile and a full stomach."
Dined on 3/2/2014
It's a wonderful place to have
brunch. The food is delicious and many choices are offered. I would have loved to have sat outside in their beautiful courtyard but there were not enough shaded tables. They need to invest in more outdoor umbrellas."
Dined on 3/2/2014
Everything we tried was delicious.
From the waffles and omelettes to the oysters and prosciutto. The food quality was excellent."
Dined on 3/2/2014
It's the 3rd time I went to this
restaurant. Food used to be great so was the environment. Scene is still great, service is still good, but food got much worse."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Good food, good ambiance, good
service, a bit overpriced. Dinner for 2 with a bottle of wine ($50) ended up $250 with tip..."
Dined on 2/25/2014
This quite lovely restaurant (with
atmospheric garden to boot) offers fun French classics like great onion soup and first class dessert soufflés. The rest of the menu is equally classic French cuisine including towers of iced seafood such as lobster and oysters. The all-French staff provides the proper finks touch to believe you're actually in France!"
Dined on 2/18/2014
The food was just ok, nothing to
rave about. As foodies, we expected more top level food choices. The outside setting is much better than the tight enclosed space inside. My wife the onion soup (loved it) and the shrimp/scallop entree ( smelled extremely fishy and undercooked). I had the steak tartare (too much dijon) w/fries and red snapper to was chewy. When it with a cheese plate for dessert (good not great). Overall that a place we'd come back again."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The reviews and images looked good
but this very large restaurant was almost empty when we arrived (with a party of 9) so there was almost no atmosphere. Outside seating may have been a little better in retrospect. The starters were ridiculously large and far too salty. The main courses were slightly more reasonable in size, but slightly disappointing in flavour especially considering the high cost. The taxi drivers had never heard of the restaurant - which is always a bad sign."
Dined on 2/11/2014
They really know how to host an
amazing Brunch. The presentation is pristine you want to try everything and once you do you're delightfully surprised it's all delicious...from the antipasto, omelette sir decadent desserts can't really decide. The only hick up is they don't give you bottomless mimosas. The staff is very service oriented and very friendly. It's a must try."
Dined on 2/2/2014
Food was great, service was
excellent. They offered us the dessert as we were there for a bday. Great outdoor sitting."

We had a great dinner last week in

It was excellent as always. food

Dined on 2/1/2014
As a matter of fact we were two
nights in a row- January 30 & 31. On Thursday the weather was not so great so we sat inside. The service we received - performed by Mr.Medine was outstanding!!!!so we decided to come again the following night- weather was better- so we were outside. Both days we were 6 people- so we tried many different dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious ( we come to La Gloutonnerie on a regular basis for 15 months). The atmosphere , the service, the food- great!! CONGRATULATION"
Dined on 1/31/2014
Awesome & free happy hour
appetizers before dinner were delicious! For dinner we had the chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection. Both the bar staff our servers were attentive and polite. This place is very expensive but they really put out beautiful food. Ask for a table on the patio when making your reservation, especially if its a nice evening."
Dined on 1/26/2014
The cuisine is a large cut above
most Sofi restaurants--authentic French at fair prices. The night was steamy so we opted for ac instead of the pretty courtyard. The ambience and service are first rate. My duck was perfect and my husband's branzino came with a bouquet of fresh vegetables. We had preordered the Grand Marnier souffle and it was a bit too much food. But all well-prepared and memorable. We like to pop in the bar for happy hour. Good wine selections."
Dined on 1/31/2014
We enjoyed a lovely brunch on the
patio - excellent food and the pastries were out of this world! Don't forget to try the crepes, soooo good!"

While visiting Miami from NYC, I
made reservations for La Gloutonnerie on a Wednesday night for a special dinner out with my husband. We ordered cocktails (good), shared the Tuna Tartare (very good) and I ordered the Lobster risotto, which was delicious, but very salty. My husband ordered the Flounder and couldn't eat it - it was incredibly dry and oversalted. Not worth even half the $38 price tag. Unfortunately, my husband didn't want to return the dish for something else. I think feedback is important, but he refused to say anything, We were both surprised that a restaurant of this caliber would let a dish leave the kitchen that was so bad, but it did. The overall experience was okay, but honestly our expectations were not met."
Dined on 1/22/2014
This was a repeat visit to this
restaurant where we recalled a great first experience. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for our second visit. Four of us were dining. While the staff was very attentive, the starter of french onion soup came along with the entrees. Two of us were sharing this, so the waiter left the soup and took our seafood entrees back to the kitchen, leaving the other 2 guests to start on their entrees. Within 5 minutes, the server brought back the 2 fish entrees which were now obviously well-done (they were ordered med rare). The server apologized and did not charge for the soup, however the food was generally unenjoyable."
Dined on 1/17/2014
A perfect dinner when it comes to
food, wine and service."
Dined on 1/17/2014
It was too cold to eat outdoors,
but La Gloutonnerie has one of the nicest outdoor dinning area I have seen. The indoor dining was very enjoyable. The menu has a french focus and the food and service was outstanding."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Really enjoyed our brunch which
had a variety of French food on a buffet, including crepes and all sorts of pastries. Delicious!"

ADA News
'Living up to its name by giving kids a smile'
San Francisco—"Pretend this is toothpaste."
It was a request that mystified a class of first-graders at E.R. Taylor Elementary School Tuesday. Especially since the "toothpaste" was a bottle of orange juice.
Presidential gift: ADA President William Calnon hands fifth-grader Paulina Esquivias a backpack filled with oral health supplies.
"A dab of toothpaste on the brush. Take your time, no need to rush," the students sang along with the volunteers, which included local dentists and members of the San Francisco Dental Society and dental hygiene students from Chabot College in Oakland, Calif.
Tuesday's screening, where around 790 students were seen, was part of a three-day GKAS event in San Francisco preceding the ADA Annual Session. Around 150 dentists, hygienists, dental students, dental staffs and other volunteers were expected to participate to provide 2,000 San Francisco children with oral health screenings, education and treatment.
Singing about brushing: Dental hygiene students from Chabot College in Oakland, Calif., provide oral health education to first-graders at E.R. Taylor Elementary School.
The screenings are a collaboration between the ADA; Colgate's Bright Smiles, Bright Futures; the National Children's Oral Health Foundation; Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit company behind Sesame Street; the San Francisco Department of Public Health; and the San Francisco Dental Society. The SFDS already has an extensive program in place, where every kindergartener in the San Francisco Public Schools is screened.
On Monday, volunteers were on hand at Gordon J. Lau Elementary School, which has a primarily Chinese American population of around 730 students. Dr. Jeffrey Jang, chair of community dental health for the SFDS, described Monday's screenings as "absolutely awesome" and said "the kids absolutely loved it."
Open wide: Dr. Courtney Fitzpatrick, president of the San Francisco Dental Society, screens a student at E.R. Taylor Elementary School in San Francisco Tuesday.
At each of the schools, every student received oral health education, and pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, second- and fifth-graders were screened and those who needed additional treatment were referred to an outside dentist, Dr. Jang said. Every child also took home a backpack with a toothbrush and toothpaste donated by Colgate and a Sesame Street DVD featuring Elmo, Abby Cadabby and families modeling healthy behavior, activity sheets for the children and tips for parents.
At E.R. Taylor, screenings were conducted on the stage in the school library and in a Colgate van parked outside the school. The students waited patiently to be seen, reading picture books, giggling and talking with their friends to pass the time.
"I love connecting to the children and seeing how receptive they are to receiving care," said Dr. Courtney Fitzpatrick, SFDS president.
The goal was to not only educate the students on oral health care but to transfer the positive messages to their parents, who ultimately make the decisions on dental care for their children.
"I don't see any fear in their faces," Dr. Faiella said. "If they can get a little bit of information about oral health care that they can carry with them the rest of their lives, it'll be worth it."
Wednesday's event will be held at San Francisco General Hospital, where 150-200 families will receive oral education, screenings, fluoride varnish (if applicable) and other treatment as needed through the WIC program. WIC provides federal grants to states for nutrition education and health care referrals.
Representatives from the Native American Health Center will also be available on Oct. 17 to provide treatment for children who qualify.

Budleigh Bowls were hit by the weather last week which resulted in just the one game being played.
That was a friendly match in Exeter at St Thomas which was blessed with beautiful sunshine and although the home side won by 16 shots, the afternoon was greatly enjoyed by all.
With only a handful of games played, Ladies' Captain, Di Dixon is making a habit of skipping Budleigh's highest scoring winning rink.
On this, the third such occasion, Di's team of Don Huish, Sue Job and Stuart Butler were never headed and finished with a score of plus twelve.
Greg Ellis' rink also led from the start and recorded a 22 – 14 victory.

April 26, 1968 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE 84553
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, it is
over 3 months since the Pueblo was
taken j.nto custody and the American
crewmembers were imprisoned by North
Korea. Fifteen meetings have been held
to date on this issue at Panmunjom. As
spokesmen for the U.N. command in
Korea, our military representatives have
made demands for the release of the
crew. The North Korean military representatives
have countered with charges
and demands of their own. Back and
forth has gone the football of recrimination.
All the while, the Americans who
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 44, Folder 31, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
84554 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD- SENATE April 26, 1968
were aboard the Pueblo have remained
in the custody of the North Koreans.
The Pueblo incident should not be permitted
to recede from our attention. In a
direct and immediate sense, there is a
compelling and continuing responsib!l!ty
to the crew members who are interned
in North Korea. The return of these
men-alive-ought to be, and is, the primary
concezn of this Government.
After all, it is no secret that the Pueblo
was sent, on orders, into a position almost
within sight of the North Korean
coast. Those are misty waters where
legal rights under international law skirt
the shoals of obscure intelligence operations.
The crew of the Pueblo was exposed
to great risks in the name of this
Government. Owing to them, therefore,
is every effort which this Government
can make, and is making, to secure their
release-! repeat--their release alive.
As I see it, the problem with which we
are faced is not so much to prove a legal
point as to pry loose a crew. In dealing
with the North Koreans, I would hope
that the asseverations to sustain the former
will not be made at the expense of
the 'practicalities of the latter.
Insofar as legalities are concerned
may I say that from the information
which has been made a· on the mal.nland of
Asia. War spreads readUy on that continent;
the dll!lculty Ilea In curbing !t. I would em•
phas!ze, therefore, that while the urgency 1n
VIet Nam Ill to bring one bloody confllct to a
close, the Imperative In Korea Is to prevent
the opening of another.
In the la.tter oonnect!on, It will help to
bear In mind the eesentlals or the PueblO
a.tfalr. A U.S. vessel-that It W88 a.n electronic
llatener of 90me BOrt Is not d.!.apuied-was
In a post t1on off the North Korean ooast.
What vital national need prompted the d.IB·
pa.tch of th!B part!culu mlssion or why the
ves&el went undefended are not as yet, fully
All reports ava.l.la.ble to me In both the
WbJte House a.nd the Foreign Rela.t!ona Committee,
Indicate that the Pueblo was In tntemat!
onal water~~ at the time It W9S taken.
AIJ of the moment, the Pueblo Is now at a.nchor
In Wonsa.n harbor a.nd the 82 Blll'Viving
crewmen who were aboa.rd.-t, it mny be feasible to seek Impartial
arbitration or mediation or a pre.qentation
of the entire matter to the World Court. May
I say that precedent !or the lntter procedure
is to be round ln a similar dlspu te two decades
ago over the loss or two BritiSh destroyers
off the Albanian Coast.
Whatever the specific recourse, In my judgment,
the efforts to find a peaceful solution
In the Pueblo affair are attuned to this nation's
Interest. What matters In my judgment
Is saving lives, not saving ffuse to acknowledge any participation
In the bloodletting, virtually unmarked.
The Incidents, In short, have served the
pw·poses for which they have been mounted.
And they have demonstrated agaln the Impotence
of U.S. power In the face of relatively
low-level but still flagrant acts of aggression
by a minor state.
Pyongyang has had a number of clear motives
In it.s escalated efforts dlrected southward
since the beginning of the year:
It has kept alive the threat a! a secondtrout
war In Asia.;
It has created dlv1slons between South
Koren.ns, who want to react in kind, and the
United States, which feels It must pursue a
n1uch more cautious policy;
It hWi embarrassed the strongest mlli tary
power In the world; and
It has ra.lsed doubts about security In
South Korea.
For the United States the greatest inhibition
on the kind of retaliatory action that
would best reaasure the South Koreans and
possibly most dlssuade the Communist. has
been the confinement In North Korea for the
last three months of the 82-man crew of the
captured USS Pueblo_
U.S. efforts have been directed, witl1 absolutely
no success, toward obtaining freedom
of the crew through political talks. The
Communists have been demanding a full
apology for the alleged Intrusion by the
Pueblo In to their territorial waters, which
would be an admJ.ssion o! the rightness of
tl1eir c~e. Meanwhile. they have been sha.melcssl.
y and brutally exploiting the plight of
the captives for the most callous propaganda
The op.tions available to the United States
are rew.
This count-ry can do what It has been
doing, I.e., try to negotiate the crew's release,
at the same time tolerating without re!Ktllatlon
Communl't mnraun ot'd1·r uto-bushes.
But there Is no guarantee that even
an abject apology would win freedom for
the men.
Or it could respond to the border killings
by taking severe steps of Its own, In conjunction
with the South Koreans. such actions
could, however, doom the Pueblo's
None of these options Is attractive.
But neither Is the probability of continuing
attacks on U.S. and South Korean
troops along the DMZ by a. regtme which
feels immune from any punitive response so
long as it holds 82 Americans hostage. Those
lives are lmportrmt to this country. But so,
too, Is freedom of action to respond adequcttely
to North Korean viciousness. WashIngton
may soon have to make the hard

- Chris Dodd Compromises, Harold Ford Calls it Quits and More in Capital Eye Opener: March 2March 2, 2010 1:24 AM
U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) spent months railing against the Federal Reserve for what he considered its failure to protect consumers from abusive financial institutions. Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee who isn't seeking re-election, now appears primed to compromise on his standing desire to create an independent "Consumer Financial Protection Agency" designed to protect consumer interests.
- Obama, Ney and DeLay Also Among Stanford's InvestmentsFebruary 18, 2009 7:03 PM
As the story behind the embattled investment company Stanford Financial Group develops, we thought we'd take an even closer look at the seeds the company may have tried to plant in Washington via campaign contributions. When looking at ALL lawmakers to collect money from the company's PAC and employees (not just members of the current Congress), some additional, important names appear at the top of the recipient list.

Whiskey Sour: Pickled in a semi-sweet apple cider vinegar brine with heavy notes of garlic and dill, chili peppers and McKenzie Rye Whiskey from Finger Lakes Distilling.
New York Deli: Reminiscent of the classic pickles once commonplace at delis all over New York, made with Kirby cucumbers in a brine of garlic, dill and a hint of evaporated cane sugar.

Fear is the result of getting caught in the middle. Buddha says that it is the result of ignorance. And the ignorance is that when you start out as an infant with an undifferentiated awareness, and then you are taught who you are, that component, that structure which we call ego, is a very fragile structure. It seems tough, but it is actually a fragile structure. It is a structure that is created of mind, of learned neural patterns.
On one side of it, it has what Freud referred to as the Id, or the impulse life. And the structure is designed to interface between the impulse life and the society, to protect the society from the impulse life. Then on the other hand, it is this fragile structure in the face of tremendous external forces, which are parents, and then social institutions and chaos and storms and nature. All of it. So, when you didn't have a framework – when you didn't have somebodiness, you are just part of the Universe, and there is no fear.
I mean a tree isn't frightened, and it is not even clear. Like, in one of the discussions that Emmanuel had about what a mouse feels like when it is being eaten by a cat. The question is, is the mouse saying "Oh my God. I am being eaten by a cat," or is it feeling warmth and moisture and shifts in energy? And the squealing … do we project? We anthropomorphize and we say that it is squealing because it is afraid. But to be afraid, one has to have a self-concept. And when an organism is functioning instinctually in a scene, each change in the balance of the situation is just a new moment. It is just a new moment to which it responds. It's very delicate to interpret things, because we tend to interpret in terms of where we are sitting. We've developed these structures, and if you can sense the way that works, you just see on one side of you these extremely powerful impulses in you that you are afraid of.
And on the other side, there are the tremendous forces outside that you are afraid of. And you are feeling yourself as a very fragile entity within that structure. So the root of the fear is the separateness. The root of the fear is the model one has of oneself. That's where the fear starts.
Once that exists, then you process everything from inside or outside in terms of that model, and it keeps reinforcing the feeling of vulnerability, because, in fact, there are incredibly powerful forces outside and inside. The transformative process of spiritual work is re-awakening to the innocence of going behind that model that one had, that cut oneself off, that made oneself a tiny little fragile somebody. And a lot of the power preoccupations that we end up having – and especially the power of trying to leave something behind in the face of death – is the feeling of our own fragility. If you look at social structures, you see how much social institution is based upon the feeling of fragility of the human condition.
So, how you deal with fear is by saying, "I'm afraid of that person." You say, "I'm afraid of being socially shamed." But when you are socially shamed, it hurts, and then here we still are. You are afraid of violence. And then if violence happens… Sure, it's scary and painful, and then behind it, here we are.
I think that often the fear feeds upon itself, and we're almost afraid of the fear. Or the fear is the thing, rather than what we are afraid of. We are just afraid. We're just afraid. We just feel very vulnerable.

This is so pertinent today as last night I dreamed everyone had to get into an adult-size sardine can and go through this fire to move on to the next fun activity. I am extremely claustrophobic and I pass out when overheated. I kept watching people come out and they were red but okay (my grand daughter was crying. Finally I just said No I won't do this.
How much is it about fear of hanging onto this life vs fear of following the herd?

well ok. mice probably are a lot better than many of us humans at getting in touch with their kinesthetic sense. Could be they're feeling afraid when the cat's eating them. Then again, maybe enraged? Some folks posit herbivores feel something like samadhi — a willing giving up of life to life — when the predator pounces. Then as to our human fear of death — that's a hard one, what with our obstreperous brain power. On the other hand, when we fall into deep sleep every night, could be we're where we will be after physical death. It would be hard to prove otherwise, wouldn't it?

No a tree isnt frightened but im not a tree. recentley i was put in a position where my sexuality was chalenged. and felt i had to defend my self, i kept trying to remember that the ego is brittle when threatened i chickened out and took some downers to cope, so still back on the merry go round.
- Barbara
What a surprise! Last night I dreamed Ram Dass, quite jovial and looking good, was sitting at a table in my grandmother's house. I don't remember many details but thinking, "I don't have to go on FB for Ram Dass, he's here." How comforting. Then I went into a bedroom and picked up a very tiny baby out of a bath. I will be meditating on this.
boundless love,
- Maria
I love the image of the very tiny baby being picked up by you out of the bath. Beautiful, thanks. Namaste.

life is a beautiful surprise …. i had a steady job and through grace and fortune was bitten by a shoplifter who was hurting a team member … i intervened and due to injury was forced to take a drug test, i refused on principle and was fired, but since then, without a job, identity and security (or so i thought) i have discovered that i am not afraid anymore of unknown events or trials/traumas … since i had that identity obliterated, i have been stripped bare and understand the false nature of wrongly created self/ego … i was lucky enough to see ram dass many years ago, but had forgotten him …. well blessed be, while watching a friends netflix, i found him again in fierce grace … and he is again a teacher …. it seems that if you want to give god a good laugh, just make plans … thank you ram dass and i will always again be here now … your courage and grace truly humble and inspire me …

I lived with a lot of fear for a while this really made sence to me. The part about the mouce can be helpful for me as well. I have Jurney to awakening and i was just lying outside in the sun thinking of it and remembering this web site. My imprisonment was largely due to ignorance on two ends and society's modern diffaculties iv managed to live with the fear and make it into a ting to enjoy rather than run away from. I feel as if now when bad things happen something inside me is laughing like a trickter who enjoys those moments of my frustration. Im really starting to enjoy every aspectg of living with myself. Thank you for choosing youre way and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I still think the mouse squeals because it feels fear – it isn't about the mouse's ego !!! The mouse's self-concept doesn't cause it to be frightened of being eaten by the cat (ie ceasing to exist on an egoic level), but it's instinctive and very real desire to avoid pain and death does ! Sorry Ram Dass, I love your thinking, but the mouse bit doesn't work for me. x.

We use Mice as Indicators that model human diseases .. their nervous systems and cells are just like our own otherwise why would they be employed so extensively in vivisection ..
- https://www.louisdallaraphotoblog.com/ Louis Dallara
Wonderful message
- rock
All animate creatures have an instinct for survival, part of that is fear. Without fear the creature would lack basic survival skills.
When the mouse sees the cat approach, it feels fear, hence it runs to escape being eaten, to survive.
As the mouse is being eaten it squeals because it feels pain.
There are only two states of mind – conscious and unconscious. Anything else is merely the imagining of a not fully conscious mind.
I could be wrong, but I suspect Ram Dass did not write the above article.
- Lilullu
There are two types of fear, the fear of immediate real danger which of course results in trying to withdraw oneself from that situation – the basic survival instinct. The other type is the fear that the mind constructs based on egos insecurities and other emotions. I think the article should have been written with this distinction in mind and not just tackle fear in general.
- Raeann Thomas
I agree, I've worked with animals for many years as a vet assistant and seen my own cats catch enough mice to know that they surely must be afraid and feeling some very real pain. I also don't think animals have quite the same attachment to their bodies like a human does, for example, if you gave a dog it's own amputated leg, it would eagerly gnaw all the meat off of it. But, they most definitely can feel fear and pain, and I think also love. So if a mouse is squealing and trying to get away from the cat that is eating it, I'd say it is a reliable guess that it is feeling pain and fear.

"it hurts, and then here we still are. … behind it, here we are."
I remember saying that to myself after a PTSD inducing ammount of continual stress. I no longer had fear for a time. I would shrug in my state of Allowing Presence, going through life taking it moment by moment, saying to myself, "Well, I'm still here aren't I. meh". Once we know We Are Love, and the Universe Is Love, and nothing in this earthy world can ever truly harm or kill what we truly are, once we identify with our Soul, not our ego, THEN we are not afraid to die. We are not afraid. The ego is afraid to die. The ego runs on fear. The Soul runs on the Energy of Love, and Light and Intelligence.
We have to surrender to this sea of Being, and ask ourselves from moment to moment, within ourselves, about our thoughts and actions, "Is This Love?", and remind ourselves, "We Are Love". We detach from others actions that stem from their own fear and pain and false beliefs, we forgive them compassionately, and then continue to focus on ourselves (our reactions, our feelings, our self-care, our self-compassion… we are loving to ourselves, and the we are loving to others). The Enneagram is a wonderful tool for Awareness http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/DevelopmentLevels.asp#.Ut16c_0QE18
I think Christ was a wonderful example of this in his admonitions to:
Judge Not.
Turn the other cheek.
Love others.
Take no care for the morrow.
Fear Not.

I'm working on a program that sends AT commands to the modem (/dev/tty.debug), and I've recently upgraded my iPhone 3G from os 2.2.1 -> 3.0. However, Minicom just sits there when I open it up from SSH (using the same settings that I used on v2.2.1).
Accessing this device programmatically isn't working either. After moving my program out of the sandbox area, I'm able to open the debug tty device, but any subsequent calls that use the opened device block the process and don't return.
So, I have the following questions:
1). it seems obvious that the serial port settings changed from 2.2.1 to 3.0? (anyone know the new settings)
2). Is there an alternate method of sending AT commands other than opening up /dev/tty.debug, emulating a VT100 connection, and issuing read()/write() calls?
I'm really just trying to show the info that the FieldTest.app shows (LAC, Cell ID, RSSI) to get an idea of cell size/signal strength... There's obviously a mechanism for that app to access the info from the baseband.. presumably either an undocumented set of AT commands (LAC, Cell ID, RSSI are all from the 3GPP spec, however), or an API that directly gets network info from the baseband. Anyone know how the field test app gets its info?

A Letter From the Orcas
"Dear Humans, Please use your considerable power to defend us against the few dumbasses in your military who think it's a good idea to torture, maim and kill us in the name of obsolete war games. When we are all gone, all that is left for you is the water and the dumbasses with their ships and guns.
You can go here and listen to what we are talking about and watch a video of that charming, handsome, actor who played in one of those 007 movies. Thanks for taking action." -Orcas of Earth
One Whale Helping Another
In my meditation and prayer practice, I often send love and light to the creatures of Earth's oceans. I saw the synchronicity for me to be contacted about this event. I was honored to be asked to donate Beluga towards the Save Lolita Fundraising Event in Chicago this May.
Lolita is a real whale at a water park in Florida who has been held captive for 40 years and has the best chance of being moved out of her inhumane residence back to the wild with her pod, where she belongs. Get the full story of Lolita here. If you have not seen the Blackfish movie, please do so to further educate yourself on this topic.
When the online auction goes live in May, I will post the link. May all beings on this Earth be free of suffering. xxooYabette

Raven flies to Akron Artwalk
The sadness of missing my Ohio tribe (I am NOT referring to baseball) is balanced by my joy of having my paintings on canvas represented in a fabulous show of talent by Ohio women. Earthtones: Aerie ballroom of the divine feminine for the Downtown AKron ARTwalk is happening this Saturday, April 5th in my glorious hometown of Akron, Ohio. It takes place at 57 E. Market St. with parking across the street at the Akron Art Museum parking garage.
Here's one of the paintings to be included that epitomizes my love for Akron.
I also sent new work, inspired by the raven who first showed me I must leave my roots in an informal shamanic journey Kundulini Yoga class I took in Columbus, Ohio back in 1998. Since then, the raven appears in my visions and in the material world often as a synchronicity sign to keep aspiring to change, reaching for further heights of accomplishment in striving for my own life's highest potential.
I will also have this Butterflies work on oil in this show. They show up in my world also as a sign of synchronicity and affirmation of my life path.
One of the best experiences I had in live painting last summer was with this tree captured at a joyful event on Lake Erie. I finished the details later and have this oil to represent the endless beauty of nature found in Ohio.
If you are near Akron next weekend, surely check out my work and many other talented photographers, painters, sculptors and musicians at this not-to-be-missed event curated by the amazing Eartha L. Goodwin. Infuse some divine feminine into your life and buy a piece for your home! xxooYabette

Stitch and Burn: Bag Workshop
Guiding a 9 year old to sew is completely soul satisfying for me.
The happy accomplishment, with a practical product at the end is enchanting. This was a 4 hour workshop. The idea was to keep him engaged (fun), have a finished workable product, use our heads to engineer the idea, and never spend a second fussing about perfection. Continue reading

This two-volume
Carnets de Salon
is an unique, important historical discoverya portrait of the life of its magnificent owner Henrietta Leon Girshman [1885-1970] of the very fabric of early 20th-Century Moscow and beyond. A celebrated beauty, Henrietta Leon married the industrialist, collector and patron of the arts Vladimir Girshman [1867-1936], and together they became an important influence on the Moscow cultural scene. The Girshmans were founders of the Society of Free Esthetics [1907-1917], a group credited for fostering a number of cultural initiatives, organizing art events and facilitating meetings and exchanges among cultural luminaries in early 20th century Moscow. As both a society member and friend to many Russian artists, writers, poets, musicians and actors, Henrietta's Salon at the family mansion at Red Gates in Moscow became a veritable center of society and art, serving as congregation hall and impromptu performance space for famous recitals, poetry readings and theatrical improvisations for some of the virtuosos of her dayV. Briusov, V. Ivanov, A. Belyi, M. Kuz'min, V. Serov, K. Korovin, S. Diagilev, V. Kachalov, S. Rachmaninoff and A. Scriabin. Girshman's guest bookstarted in 1899 became as inspired as the Salon itself, growing to include poems, letters, inscriptions, drawings, and humorous notes from her appreciative and esteemed guests. At different times M.Gorkii, K. Balmont, Yu. Baltrushaitis, S. Prokoffiev, I. Stravinskii, V. Horowitz, B. Bartok, E. Benua, M. Dobuzhinskii wrote warm notes full of admiration, gratitude and kindness. Humorous poetic manifestations of love were written by Fedor Shaliapin and V. Kachalov.
A striking beauty, Henrietta was painted by several well-known Russian painters, the most memorable by Valentin Serov which continues to be displayed at the State Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow. The work shows Henrietta elegantly posing for the artist in her fashionable boudoir, revealing both an irresistible charm and remarkable presenceclues, perhaps, to the source of her remarkable influence and close personal friendships with the most influential and accomplished personalities in Russia and abroad.
After the revolution in 1917, Girshman's house was confiscated. Its contents and art collections were nationalized and Henrietta and Vladimir were forced into exile. The couple eventually settled in Paris, where Henrietta re-established her Salon albeit on a much smaller scale. Over the years, in both Paris and throughout the world, Henrietta Girshman continued to record her encounters in the very same albums, capturing remarkable visits, notable contacts, and memorable connections with some of the largest figures of her day, including: James Joyce, Claude Debussy, Tomazzo Marinetti, Igor Stravinsky, Vasilii Nemorovich-Danchenko, Konstantin Stanislavskii, Leonard Bernstein, Vladimir Nabokov, Konstantin Somov, and Yehudi Menuhin. Additionally, K. Yuoon, Konstantin Somov, M. Dobuzhinskii, Albert Benua, and Aleksandr Yakovlev left their mark on the albums by producing individual drawings.
These two small volumes of the
Carnets de Salon
were treasured by their owner and traveled with her every placed she lived. The last inscription in the album is dated 1965, four years before her death. For more than sixty years these remarkable albums recorded intimate, personal reflections of the very best writers, artists, musicians and actors in the world. Intended for a personal enjoyment and intimate contemplation, it became an unusual and important historical document of the cultural renaissance in Russia at the turn of the 20th Century, an unlikely glimpse into the personal lives of many of the world's most important artists, and a catalogue of the life and experiences of a most remarkable and mysterious womanHenrietta Girshman.

Lisa and Matt Cooseman
Occupational therapists Lisa (FitzGerald) Cooseman, '00, '02, and Matt Cooseman, '00, met as students at Maryville, and now they work together as co-owners of Leaps & Bounds, a pediatric therapy center in St. Peters, Mo., that employs more than 20 full- and part-time therapists and assists about 220 children a week.
Lisa Cooseman, 35, co-founded the business with another therapist, Carrie Salyer, seven years ago. Carrie's husband Rob is also a co-owner of Leaps & Bounds, which specializes in assisting children with sensory-processing concerns. The center works with children from birth to age 18. Some have autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or attention issues. "We have a fair number of children who come in without a medical diagnosis, but who are struggling," Lisa Cooseman explains. In those instances, therapists often work with children's doctors to recommend a treatment diagnosis; they provide therapy so families receive the help they've been needing.
The couple, who have two children of their own —Brayden, 5, and Reese, 2—say Leaps & Bounds offers an initial consultation for free, where families can talk with a therapist to see if a child may benefit from the services Leaps & Bounds provides.
