The 'Dreams of Gaia' tarot is a long term project, and one that is close to Ravynnes's heart. The deck is a blending of magic and love, and one that will become a powerful tool of self-discovery for all. The deck is crafted for those who desire unity within themselves and with the world and the universe. It explores the past, present, and future, choice, creativity and more.
The 'Dreams of Gaia' tarot is a non-traditional tarot - one in which the major and minor arcana are rebirthed and reshaped to embrace an elemental universal philosophy that is both ancient and modern, free of religious dogma and symbology, and one that marries the Cosmos, Gaia, the waking self and the creative soul within.
Ravynne is now working full time on the 'Dreams of Gaia' Tarot. Once completed, the deck will be published by Blue Angel Publishing. The deck is scheduled for completion mid 2012 nd release in late 2012.
To follow the progress of the tarot please visit Ravynne on FACEBOOK, and to view the artwork please be sure to visit ART OF THE 'DREAMS OF GAIA' TAROT.
The Dreams of Gaia tarot is one founded in magic, empowerment, and intuition; one that opens the user strengthens thier connect with the energies of both heaven and earth. It is a deck that focuses upon spirit, nature, choice, and all that influences and impacts upon the power and freedom that comes with choice. It will not only enable the user to find unity and wholeness within, but to work with the thread of magic that runs through life and all living things.
Everything we are, all the lessons we have chosen to learn, all we wish to understand, our life purpose, and our reason for being are stored within our soul memory. These memories are carried forth from one life to the next, but they are not just memories from times when we took physical form; they are memories from times when we were incorporeal and dwelled in the Spirit realms and cosmos.
We are born psychic, empathic, and intuitive; wise beyond our years. We are full of pure, untainted energy as we return from the realms of Spirit. From the moment we take our first breath as a newborn we are complete. We know not only who we are, but are familiar with the language of our Goddess, our earth, and the song that is Magic.
And then we forget.
We forget the language of the Gaia as we are taught instead to live in the world of man. We speak with our mouths instead of our minds and hearts, forgetting that we are cosmic beings who are bound by both the natural and universal law of cause and effect. We are conditioned to believe that magic is not real, to communicate with the Divine is a sign of mental illness, that elemental beings only exist in our imagination, that dragons are evil, destructive creatures born of myth, and that angels are the construct of religion, while religion and human arrogance has taught us that humans are the lords of all. We are bombarded by different ideologies, opinions, philosophies, and mythologies and often told who we should and should not become. We are asked to embrace a philosophy of unconditional love, but are taught to love our 'self' conditionally.
As a result, we often fail to become who we are destined to be or find peace and acceptance of our self and who we are. We are afraid listen to our inner voice and fail to heed the signs sent to us by the magical and divine energies who watch over us. We can no longer sense them reaching out to us, touching our dreams, and seeding our waking with little signs and synchronicities. Our senses become dulled, our instincts go unheeded, our intuition and emotions ignored, and our connection with Gaia, our spiritual mother and home, neglected.
With eyes and hearts blind to the magical tapestry we weave with our actions, choices, and desires, we stumble through our life from one trial to the next.
Instead, we could be walking with grace and ease, gentled by the knowledge that we are the guardians and custodians of the living gift that is Gaia; safe in our surroundings, sure of our destination, confident of overcoming any obstacle, and aware that we are loved, and more importantly, loving our self.
The philosophy of the cards is simple - to create, to feel, to learn, to heal - to find unity and to embrace the awareness that what we have divided was always meant to be whole; within self, with Gaia and the universe. The Dreams of Gaia Tarot will help all to remember who we wished to be, to rediscover the language of the Great Mother, and to reawaken our senses to the song that is Magic.
With the knowledge gained we can see and learn from our past, work and live with joy and confidence in the present, and create a future that is truly ours and in harmony with both heaven and earth.

HOUSTON (AP) — Retail gasoline prices across Texas have slipped 2 cents this week.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price at the pump settled at $3.10 per gallon. The nationwide price for gasoline declined 3 cents this week to reach $3.33 per gallon.
The association survey found Amarillo and Texarkana have the most expensive gasoline statewide at $3.14 per gallon. The cheapest gasoline in Texas was found in Beaumont, Galveston and Houston at $3.05 per gallon.
Analysts say crude oil prices moved lower this week amid lower demand, ample supply and the seasonable transition to cheaper winter-blend fuel.

Back together again: 90s Favourite Jigsaw Menswear Returns
Before Christopher Bailey there was Chris Bailey, and before Topman ruled the high street, there was Jigsaw Menswear. For many blokes now approaching their prime/40s, the name alone will cause a frisson of nostalgic excitement. Once upon a time, circa 1995, Jigsaw was the only "designer"-style British men's brand on the high street, with edgy designs and fancy fabrications. Almost 10 years after the men's line originally came to an end, it has now relaunched, with an all-new, if less overtly fashion-forward, collection of men's classics in stores and online this month. jigsaw-online.com

Focus on the construct,
a puzzle so perplexing,
the paradox of the fourth dimension,
sends mental calculations inverting.
Traverse across the unknown,
the laws of earth are futile,
for once you enter the puzzle,
it's only a matter of seconds until you're lost.
Dare you try it? There's no escape,
even the toughest minds find it hard to contemplate.
a blank space, the walls are the same.
Gravity changing again and again,
from room to room it's deja vu,
the further we go, the harder it is to leave.
But we have to go deeper in order to live,
the ultimate test of the human brain,
some say it's for fun, others, torture.
But who knows if we make it in the end,
dive into the unknown, take my hand.
We're travelling far across this expanding land,
for what awaits us at the end, who knows?
We might not even be inside it,
the mind is a complex entity.

This news came out last week but I guess no one was interested in sharing it. Well given how TARA's team got exposed on national TV this AM, I don't blame folks for being totally disinterested in Chianti's boring and poorly coached basketball program.
Still for the dozens (or maybe few hundreds who still show up at OPUG) who still care about UCLA basketball dying a slow death under TARA here is a scheduling note for next season:
UCLA will compete in a talented eight-team field in the 2014 Battle 4 Atlantis, played from Nov. 26-28, 2014, at Atlantis Resorts on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas.
The Bruins will play in a field that also features Butler, Florida, Georgetown, Oklahoma, North Carolina, UAB, Wisconsin. The 12-game, three-day tournament includes a collection of programs that feature a combined 195 NCAA Tournament appearances, 53 NCAA Final Four appearances and 20 NCAA Championships.
Oh, yeah, we are going to hold our breath over this in TARA's second season because we are so enjoying going through this one.

Building a new Deck
June 1, 2008
Shell Busey
Q. I have been researching composite decking materials for building a new deck around our hot tub and I am leaning towards MoistureShield. I am wondering how it will wear in this area. I understand that composite is low maintenance but will also fade over time. Are you able to stain it? I really don't want to go with pressure treated lumber, but at least you can stain every few years.
Any help or info would be appreciated.
A. Composite decking is an excellent choice for areas around hot tubs and pools because it wont splinter or warp and is more slip resistant than wood. The structural joist system will still require pressure treated lumber to be used. Depending on the exposure to the sun and weathering most materials will lighten over time, some more than others. Using a good quality composite will ensure it fades less and lighten to a more attractive finish. MoistureShield is a good choice since it is one of the leading brands of composites on the market. Although not required, composite can be painted or stained. Since its resistant to rot, you wont have to replace any rotten planks or worry that after a while someone may fall through. For maintenance, you will need to periodically clean using an all purpose exterior cleaning product such as my Shell Busey Home Cleaning Formula.

Italy – Staffing market still declining
The staffing market in Italy continued to decline at the start of the year as demand for temporary employment remained weaker than a year ago. New research indicates that the number of temporary agency workers still fell in February 2013.
Data from the organisation for temporary agency labour (Ebitemp) shows that the seasonally-adjusted number of temporary agency workers in February dropped to 249,000, compared to about 264,000 in the prior year. This is a reduction of around -5.5%.
Hours worked by temporary staff was also down by -6% from a year earlier to around 24 million in the month. Hours worked per temporary employee decreased on average by -0.4% year-on-year. The data also shows that wages paid to temporary workers fell by -6.3% from the same time last year.
Although the economy is expected to remain sluggish this year, Staffing Industry Analysts expects the Italian staffing industry to return to growth in 2013, after declining last year.
Italy is a key market for the European staffing landscape and the combined value of the Italian staffing market was worth around €5.755 billion in 2010, according to Staffing Industry Analysts' research.

Guitar is the main playable instrument available in the Guitar Hero series. In all pre-Guitar Hero World Tour games lead guitar is the only playable guitar part. In Cooperative however lead could be played alongside of either bass or rhythm guitar.
Star PowerEdit
Star Power is gained by hitting all star power notes in a star power sequence. Star power can also be gained by using the whammy bar on star power sustains. Star power can be activated by tilting the guitar up or by pressing the select button.
Note TypesEdit
Chords are two or more notes played at the same time. For a chord to be played all corresponding fret buttons must be held. These can range from two to five notes played together. Chords occur more in hard and expert difficulties. As chords are two or more notes played together they are worth more than a single note.
Sustains also known as long notes are a modified type of a regular note. Notes that have a tail on them are sustains. To play a sustain the correct note must be played and held down for the duration of the sustain. Letting go early won't penalize the player but won't allow the player to receive additional points. Sustains can also be terminated by holding down a higher fret button or overstrumming. In all games before Guitar Hero: III whammying a sustain provides additional points. Sustains can also appear in the form of chords.
Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs (HOPOs) are types of notes used mainly for advanced players hence they are not as common as they are in hard and expert difficulties. The concept of HOPOs is to strum one note and play other notes by simply pressing the necessary buttons therefore hammering on or pulling off. HOPOs appear as regular notes except with light-colored tops. To start a HOPO sequence the first basic note before the HOPOs must be hit. The energy from this note will be passed on to the others. Hammer-ons will begin from a lower note to a higher note and pull-offs will begin on a higher note to a lower note. Pull-offs differ slightly during gameplay. Because only the highest note counts while holding multiple frets (a method called High Note Override) all notes can be held in a pull-off sequence. When doing this the button that was last played can be released so is not to override the lower note and not play it.
Guitar Hero: III and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith are the games in which a HOPO doesn't need to be hit when on the target so the necessary buttons can be held down just as basic notes can be.
In Guitar Hero: 5, Band Hero, and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, chords began to be able to be part of HOPO sequences. These can also be harder to hit rapidly unlike with single note HOPOs.
Slider NotesEdit
Also introduced in GH: World Tour there is another type of note named the slider note. These are also known as tap notes. Slider notes appear as transparent gems with a rope connecting them. In GH: World Tour they have a purple rope which connects them and in later games a darker rope. Slider notes don't require strumming to be played. These can be played by using the fret buttons or using the slider.
Extended NotesEdit
Introduced in GH: World Tour a new type of note exists: extended notes. Extended notes are notes that extended past others. The notes which extended from the base note can be regular notes, chords, sustains, or slider notes. Sustains won't be dropped for holding the additional frets ahead of time or holding them after letting go of some of the frets. Though if a button is held that isn't in the extension then the note will be dropped.
Alternate StrummingEdit
Alternate strumming is a technique which utilizes strumming both up and down. This makes faster strings of notes more easy to hit.
Tapping is an advanced used to play difficult sections more easily. Tapping makes use of the High Note Override method where while holding multiple buttons only the highest note counts unless playing a chord. Tapping is used on sections comprised mostly of HOPOs or Slider Notes. Tapping is used by the anchoring (holding) the lower note down and pressing the higher fret button(s). Tapping can be done with one or both hands. Tapping with both hands should be used only where there are more notes per second.
Squeezing is another advanced technique. Squeezing is used to 'squeeze' additional points in a Star Power use. This technique takes advantage of the size of the timing window. Squeezing is done by playing a note late and using Star Power before the note is played and playing a note at the end of the use early. In doing this two additional notes are gained in the Star Power use: one in the beginning and on in the end. Squeezing is difficult to master due to the fraction of time to be used in it.
Elbow StrummingEdit
Elbow strumming as the name implies is the strumming of a note with the elbow. Elbow strumming is used when the player is about to use tapping and already has both hands on the fret buttons.
Overstrumming is the occurrence of strumming more than what is needed. Overstrumming can occur most often in extended strings of notes.

Airport security probe
US investigates how American teen travelled to Ja unwittingly with three rifle bullets
BY VERNON DAVIDSON Executive editor — publications firstname.lastname@example.com
THE case of an American teenage girl who was acquitted of ammunition charges here earlier this month has triggered an investigation by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) into security systems at two airports in the US that failed to detect three live rounds in her carry-on bag.
At the same time, the TSA has decided against preventing the teen — 18-year-old Casey Felpel — from flying again after her parents wrote to their congresswoman protesting the impending action, according to Clayton Morgan, the Jamaican attorney who represented Felpel at her trial in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.
Morgan told the Jamaica Observer that TSA staff at the two airports — Philadelphia National and Miami International — who were on duty the day that Felpel travelled to Jamaica were taken off the job during the probe, but have since returned to work.
The Observer sought a confirmation of the investigation from the TSA, but was directed to the US Embassy in Kingston.
When the embassy was contacted, it responded by saying that the "TSA's investigation is ongoing, and federal agencies do not comment on ongoing investigations".
The investigation was conducted after the authorities learnt that the teenager had passed through both airports on June 24 with three live R-P 444 rounds, which were inadvertently left in her carryon bag by her father, a big game hunter.
Felpel, a part-time student and cashier from Akron, Pennsylvania, was among a group of 28 Mennonite Church volunteers who came to Jamaica as guests of the Salvation Army in Mandeville.
The group, which was on a nine-day work and cultural exchange, had departed Philadelphia National Airport for Kingston via Miami International Airport.
At her trial on July 6, Felpel — who was charged with illegal possession of ammunition and attempting to export ammunition — testified that she checked in three pieces of luggage which she packed herself; two of which were knapsacks which she checked as carry-ons. All three pieces were screened by security personnel at the airport prior to departure.
Upon arrival in Miami, all passengers disembarked the aircraft but remained in the intransit section of the airport. They reboarded the same aircraft after a delay of approximately one hour.
After arriving in Kingston, the group cleared Customs and Immigration then boarded a chartered bus for Mandeville.
At about 1:00 pm on Tuesday, July 3, the group arrived at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston for departure. Felpel checked her suitcase, but again kept both knapsacks as carryons and placed them on the X-ray machine.
However, Port Security Corps Supervisor Andrea McEwan noticed what she described as unusual objects resembling ammunition in one of the bags.
In her testimony, McEwan told the court that she allowed the bag to go through the scanner but conducted a secondary hand search as the metal detector did not react.
The search resulted in the discovery of the three bullets in a side pocket of the bag.
McEwan said when she asked Felpel if the bullets belonged to her, the teen said no. Felpel, however, volunteered that the bag belonged to her father who frequently used it to carry his ammunition and food on hunting trips in Northern Pennsylvania.
Her father, she said, may have accidentally left the rounds in the bag.
Her father, Gerald Felpel, also testified and corroborated his daughter's story.
In his closing statement to the Court, Morgan urged the judge, Stephanie Jackson-Hailsly, to accept the Felpels' testimonies as truthful. He also argued that the Crown failed to prove any criminal intent by the teen to import the ammunition into Jamaica or to export them from Jamaica to the United States.
After reviewing the evidence, the judge concluded that the credibility of the father and daughter remained intact throughout the proceedings.
"She further submitted that even if there were areas of doubt in their testimonies she was obliged to resolve them in favour of the accused," Morgan said, adding that the judge then dismissed Felpel of the charges.
Morgan, in reacting to the outcome of the case, praised the Port Security Corps supervisor.
"Were it not for the alertness of Mrs McEwan, the cartridges may not have been detected as the X-ray machine at Norman Manley airport also apparently failed to detect them," he said.
"Perhaps the sensitivity of the machines will have to be changed to recognise every type of metal and gunpowder known to the industry," he added.

About Seija...
I am a grandmother with three grandchildren: a girl, born in 2005 and her little twin-sisters, born in June 2012. I like all kinds of things to do with hands, handicrafts. (Most of all I like to do something about buttons!) And also I want to know the ways of living in countries so far away from Finland. I have not traveled so many countries, so I should like to see on postcards:
- mailboxes
- map cards - wild animals
- flowers and birds
- ships, aero-planes
- cats and dogs
- MAGIC EYES - cards
- mothers/grandmothers/grandfathers with children (animal-mothers
with their babies, too)
- presidents of any countries
If you don´t know what is a card I like, please look at my wall of favourites or send a card you like best.
But any card you send to me is a lovely surprise, it makes my day. And please, something written in your own language, and translating to English, thank you.

- Delicious!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014We loved everything served. The service and ambience attentive and soothing, respectively. Only complaint is noise level was loud when full for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CharmingThumbelina44Dined on 8/16/2014Such a lovely place, great food and service. The staff knows the menu so well and all of the lovely little nuances really lend to making this palce a real gem.Special Features:
- Rustic EnchantmentTakemeoutDined on 8/14/2014Styer's Garden Cafe at Terrain makes the most of it's location in the garden store. The walk from the parking lot to the cafe winds through the artful displays of seasonal plants and garden sculptures. When you enter the vintage greenhouse, you are surrounded by rustic charm and carefully blended casual and upscale ambience. The food is delicious, served by warm attentive staff and presented beautifully. The local mushroom soup and perfect summer salads upstaged the entrees but were almost eclipsed by the stunning desserts. The only disappointment was the filet which was too chewy on the outside to enjoy. Bring your own wine and enjoy a special meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PrincessDined on 8/13/2014This was my first time here. I would definitely come back. I thought it was a quanit place to enjoy a lunch or dinner.Special Features:
- ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/10/2014Lousy service. arrived 5 minutes early rudely told to come back in 5 minutes only to be seated at the table that was empty when we arrived. Waited 30 minutes for a waitress after starring at the two hostess and then another 40 for our meal which did not come prepared as ordered. This service was not because they were busy as there where many empty tables. Experienced slow service here before but this was beyond slow. The rude welcome did not start it off well as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful PlaceILikeFoodDined on 8/10/2014As a self proclaimed foodie, the food is good and has some unique elements however the store/garden steals the show. The restaurant is part of amazing garden and home store. The store itself is worth the trip to have lunch or brunch there.Special Features:
- Perfect Sunday BrunchTommyVIPDined on 8/10/2014Styers again pleased us with a perfect setting for a tasty Brunch. The service was great as was the food. On a warm Sunday we were treated with with a wonderful array of goodies to keep us cool.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CharmingClaireDined on 8/9/2014I loved our dinner at styer's. The greenhouse was a charming room to dine in. Our waitress was attentive and very kind. The food was delicious. I had the mushroom soup and scallops. For dessert we had s'mores in a jar which was tasty and cute! Perfect light ending to our filling meal. I am planning to go back, especially since the menu is seasonal. Great non-chain, local, organic restaurant in Delaware county- wish I had come here sooner!Special Features:
- Excellent eveningFreqtouristDined on 8/9/2014We came here after receiving a gift card from a friend. I was more than pleasantly surprised. We ordered the tasting menu and are treated to a series of dishes that were exceptional. The atmosphere was also exceptional, almost Disney like in that you are immersed in a quant garden far removed from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. We walked outside through the gardens, peaceful and quiet. All in all it i is one of the best choices in the tristate region.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sad to say goodbyeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014We have been going to Styer's for years for lunch/brunch, often combined with a trip to Longwood Gardens. Sadly, this last trip will be our last due to the price for brunch, too high. Thanks for the good food and lovely atmosphere, we will miss you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- superb place to becolombia64Dined on 8/9/2014We've been here quite a few times since moving to Wilmington, after some new friends introduced us to Styer's several years ago. My wife and I come occasionally by ourselves, but we mostly love bringing out of town company to Styer's. Everyone we've come there with just love it, as do weSpecial Features:
- AnitaDined on 8/7/2014Lunch was unusal and good in a lovely atmosphere.Special Features:
- OverratedBisquetteDined on 8/6/2014Charming ambiance and good Charming ambiance--bright, filled with greenery; service is friendly and efficient but food is overpriced and mediocre at best. Fish and chips are all greasy batter and little fish.
- Gem of the area!LindaDined on 8/6/2014The food and service have been excellent every time I go. That is such a nice feeling!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our "New Favorite"DidiDined on 8/2/2014Everything we ate was fresh and absolutely delicious. The wait staff was eager to help, friendly, and very competent. A unique environment and a beautiful evening. Be sure to spend time looking at the flowers and patio furniture for sale. The store wasn't open when we were there but I'm sure it will be worth making an extra trip just to see it.Special Features:
- Outstanding service, great foodNHPS812014Dined on 8/1/2014Our large group (13) was accomodated for lunch during the busiest time of the day. Our waiter was calm, responsive, kind and so helpful! The setting was peaceful, the meals were absolutley delicious and a nice portion size for lunch, some even requested a "doggy bag." 8/1/2014Special Features:
- Need reservationBardoboyDined on 7/30/2014My favorite local restaurant. Great food. All baking done on site with fresh, locally grown berries, etc. need a reservation as it is always busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rustic yet refined.FreshandFoodieDined on 7/28/2014The food is never disappointing, and if you're lucky enough to go on a nice day, it's great outdoor dining among the herbs & plants. However, it's quite pricey for lunch, and seems to get more expensive each time we go, which is why it's more for a special occasion than an everyday lunch option. The food is great, but they included more reasonable lunch options. Only a handful of people were there for lunch on a beautiful day! $12 for a small mixed green salad on their Small Plates menu is about as low as you can go.. $5 for 3 tiny battered cauliflower flourettes for appy (very yummy & I'm not a big cauliflower person, but looked ridiculously small on the plate). Check out menu before you go.Special Features:
- JcatVIPDined on 7/26/2014Fantastic ambience in an interesting setting. BYOB is always a plus. We started with the cheese board which was good. Entrees were the chicken, the filet, the scallops, and the Speatzle(spelling). All were good, but a little on the expensive side. Service was good...but I have to ask...what is up with the water sans ice?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A declining gemlbirdDined on 7/26/2014I have been to Styers many times, but was unimpressed in this latest visit. The food quality was lower than prior visits. The biggest offender was the hamburger - which was black on the outside and despite falling apart while I ate it, was definitely burnt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Styer's is a winner!Edan4foodDined on 7/26/2014Love the greenhouse seating, the rustic feel, the flower pot bread and interesting flavor combinations.Special Features:
- Styer'sScarletDined on 7/23/2014Setting is lovely but is that enough? Prices are high and I found food not that good, presentation seems to take precedence over flavor. My salad came in small bowl and was awkward to eat, it kept spilling out. It would have been better served on plate.Service was abysmal. Our server just didn't seem engaged . It 20 min to get beverages. After waiting 45 min for our lunch I asked the bus boy if could check on our order. He immediately reappeared with our order. Had it been sitting in the kitchen waiting for our absent server?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- View vs ClimbOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/22/2014$40 for ice tea, rice salad and a shared dessert. Food was very fresh, very well prepared and beautifully presented. I'm not an "all you can eat" diner. I don't want to feel full but my appetite wasn't satisfied.Special Features:
- Enjoyed the repeat visitmamalinDined on 7/21/2014I've been to the Cafe several times. You can depend on interesting food, well-prepared with good service. The prices are fair for the quality although some may say it's a little expensive for luck.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!dinamiteDined on 7/20/2014Lovely atmosphere and wonderful interesting food. The brioche is amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstandingsarah1dDined on 7/19/2014the refreshing sparkling drinks, the flower pot bread and delicious butter, the cheese platter, the unique pork belly eggs benedict were all outstanding.the menu has many unique expertly prepared items to choose from...it is always a treat to the palate. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Birthday Lunch!cv8913Dined on 7/19/2014I took my friend here for her Birthday and she loved it! It was something new and fresh. The food was very good and the service was good except for that they forgot to bring bread to our table so we had to ask for some.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious FoodDaniJDined on 7/19/2014We ate outdoors and a lovely summer day and enjoyed spritzers. You can mix and match your own flavors and we had lime/mandarin and lime/raspberry. Delicious bread arrived first, baked in a flower pot. Maple and salted butter was a tasty spread for it. Then burgers arrived, piled high! The only complaint was the burgers were so HUGE. Melted gouda cheese, grainy mustard, and caramelized onions made it one of the best burgers I've had, however. It was full of flavor. The fries were great too, sprinkled with herbs. Would love to go again!Special Features:
- Would be a great spot but too HOTLocavoreLadyDined on 7/13/2014I LOVE terrain and the cafe and the food is always great; however, I really couldn't enjoy my brunch on Sunday because of the unbearable temperature of the dining room. I understand the dining room is in a greenhouse but on a hot summer day I really expected there to be fans or an air conditioner keeping diners cool. Unfortunately I spent most of my meal sweating and I couldn't wait for the check to come so I could get the heck out of there. I will definitely be back, just never in the summer.Special Features:
- Best tasting menu in the areaTryNewFoodsDined on 7/12/2014We love to try the tasting menu. If you order 5 courses, it is equivalent to getting 10 different items since they bring out two completely different dishes. We share and get a chance to taste 10 items. What fun! Food was delicious. The setting is very natural with lots of live plants, mostly ferns. You need to bring your own alcohol.Special Features:
- DisappointedDDeAngelisDined on 7/12/2014My wife wanted to eat here for her birthday. I booked through open table and added comments to the reservation as I always do. I asked to be seated away from high traffic areas as well acknowledge her birthday. Neither request was acknowledged. Service is always hit or miss. It ranges from great to terrible. It all depends on the server. Absolute beautiful place to eat and full of character. At this scale of restaurant I would expect a few gluten free options in this day and age besides "salad". Eager to throw any bits and pieces on a salad but it's still a salad. If service was monitored just a little better and offered a couple gluten free options this spot would be a 10! Not the "go to" spot for use anymore which is very disappointing.
- jjjjjDined on 7/12/2014Creative dining in a greenhouse! A bit too warm, but cheerful. Tasty food, excellent service. Expensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/10/2014We went here to celebrate my son's birthday. Three generations and everyone was equally pleased with their meal. My sister had never dined at Terrain and she enjoyed her meal very much. We celebrate all our special occasions at Terrain. Everything was incredibly delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2hot2stayDined on 7/9/2014Sorry but this time it was ruined by the fact that it was too hot and noisy in there. It made me feel ill and in a hurry to leave. I won't be coming in the summer again.Special Features:
- Heaven is a seat at Styer'shm1191Dined on 7/6/2014I read about Styer's from several trendy lifestyle blogs that I follow. After pouring over the posts, I made it my mission to trek from our home in Washington, DC to the little garden getaway. This place lived up to ALL of the hype. From the moment my husband and I walked in, we knew that we were in for a treat. It was dreamy and artsy and felt so Anthropologie-esque. The food was amazing and the service was seriously top notch-- especially for being called a "cafe." Reserve the day to tour around and walk the garden area, as it is an experience in itself. I don't garden, but I certainly left there with an urge to start one!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed with the menuDisappointedDined on 7/6/2014We had several vegetarians in out party. We've been there before where there were several options available, but this trip, EVERY veg option was mushroom-based (and 2 in our party don't eat mushrooms). There were also no specials, so the menu was very limited even for the non-veg in the group. Considering the price, will probably not return.Special Features:
- Love Terrain.DiningPleasures101Dined on 7/5/2014Not my first time, and will not be my last. Always come here when I am visiting from CA. Love Terrain. See you next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time I have been disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/5/2014The food was mediocre. My quiche was dry although the potatoes were good. Salad was ok. Quinoa dish left a lot to be desired. All in all it was not worth the price. The bread was also over baked. I have been really happy in the past but very disappointed this time. I am coming again onThursday with some friends ( I recommended your restaurant) sure hope I am not disappointed again. If I am not happy I will not return.Special Features:
- Best brunch & ambience in the areahyperdineVIPDined on 7/5/2014Farm-to-table style restaurants seem to be all the rage these days but this is easily the best I have tried so far. The first thing you'll probably notice is the ambiance. If you can, try to get a table in the greenhouse for the full experience. I absolutely love the natural beauty and the design of this place. While great ambiance is always nice, the most important thing is the food and Styer's does not disappoint. You really can't go wrong with any of the items on the menu because everything I have tried here is superb. If I had to choose, I would recommend coming for brunch and having the fluffy and delicious pancakes. If breakfast food isn't your style, come for dinner and have the 5-course Chef's Tasting selection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and service are horrible!CHKCVIPDined on 6/29/2014I LOVE terrain but the food and service at styers garden is overpriced and the service of the waitresses is worse than a Wawa. I love bringing guests here to visit but the price of what you get is pretty ridiculous. A tiny salad is $15 and a side of bacon is $8 to go with my $20 pancakes. The menu could also use some work!! This particular visit I had friends in town so I made a reservation on open table and showed it to the check-in desk and somehow they did not have it. So they rescheduled me to a later time and I had to wait around until they called me... I would take friends to terrain visit, but skip styers and go somewhere with better food and service!!!

Tilopa's poem about (non)meditation
Share |
Here is something by an ancient Buddhist master about meditation and the nature of mind, which is pretty to read if you're in the mood for it.
http://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/T/Tilop ... Mahamu.htm
Here's a great quote from it:
Obsessive use of meditative disciplines
or perennial study of scripture and philosophy
will never bring forth this wonderful realization,
this truth which is natural to awareness,
because the mind that desperately desires
to reach another realm or level of experience
inadvertently ignores the basic light
that constitutes all experience.
The one who fabricates
any division in consciousness
betrays the friendship of Mahamudra.
Cease all activity that separates,
abandon even the desire to be free from desires
and allow the thinking process to rise and fall
smoothly as waves on a shoreless ocean.
Re: Tilopa's poem about (non)meditation
So if you desire to get enlightened, then that desire will prevent you from getting enlightened? Then how can you reach enlightenment then?
"Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking." - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
Re: Tilopa's poem about (non)meditation
well i guess one CAN try too hard - i mean the psketics must spend hours and hours thinking about how to debunk things - and we could hardly call some of them "enlightened " now could we ??
but seriously ,i can see the point that if you try too hard and focus too hard on things - then this COULD affect your perception of things and even reality **- as i know some "super woo's " who are SO convinced that everything is paranormal AND everywhere IS haunted - they are incapable of rational introspection as to what is and what is not - and even I ( a believer by my own admission ) have no time for them - basically what this is saying ( i think) is don't try too hard and just let things come as they will - don't try and force results
* those who see "demons" in everything are a case in point - but don't get me started on that subject
LIFE - just filling the bits between birth, death and taxes
Re: Tilopa's poem about (non)meditation
Meditation is must required in globalization world. All person live a life to get the all things as possible as fast. So, there is the lot of pressure on the mind. To give the rest to the mind then meditation is useful for it. You can do it at anywhere. I have visited to your mention URL. But it is so much lines of the poem.
Mistakes are the portal of discovery.
Re: Tilopa's poem about (non)meditation
One of the requirements to become enlightened is to experience the true nature of one's mind. This is always present, but because of the strong force of our thoughts and disturbing emotions, we can't experience it.
One of the ways to experience the true nature of the mind is through various types of meditation without an object. Meditations for beginners always have an object (the breath, a mantra, an emotion, etc.). Very high forms of meditation have no object, and this is very hard. Try just being aware of being aware for a while.... You will only be able to do it for a minute or two before you get distracted and follow a thought or get lost in a daydream. Great masters can maintain this very pure awareness for long periods of time continuously. Anyway, one requirement to do this is to let go of all thoughts, including the thought that you want to attain enlightenment. Although remembering one's desire to become enlightened to benefit all beings is important before one begins meditating so that there is proper motivation.
So basically, the meaning is that one should temporarily forget about enlightenment while meditating.

I am so sorry to be MIA from the blog for over a week!!!
I have been busy with the little man's party, then taking my GRE, then just trying to get back into the normal swing of things.
Well the party went great. If there was one thing I could change it would only be to give myself a little more time to decorate the cake. Lesson learned on time management. The cake still tasted great, even though it was not decorated!
Here is some party shots!

Staceyann Chin Tells It Like It Is
(page 2 of 2)
The detail in the book is incredibly vivid. Was it more of a remembering for you, or a re-imagining?
I think, in our personal stories, it is always a little bit of both because you have to forget—to survive some things, you have to forget them. And so, to recreate them you must reinvent them, and if you have a good editor and a good team of people around you, they can hammer away at that reinvention and bring you closer to a memory. Part of it is, you know, my grandmother talked a lot about when I was a kid. A part of is it part family folklore, and part of it is what they remember, and the other part is how they put those two things together, and how they reinterpret those things. And so, I would say that sometimes, I wasn't sure whether it was a yellow dress or a blue dress that I was wearing, but I remember that how I felt about the dress remains true still today.
You know, sometimes I struggle with walking into a room and thinking, I wish they knew about the little girl who had to wash her own hair at night or who had to wash her own sheets when she was nine, or who had to brave her biggest fears by going to beg this man [who she thinks is her father] to help her to go to school. I wish that they knew that kid. I wish they didn't just see this kind of, you know, brash, quirky, sophisticate, you know, with her precise pronunciations and her history of traveling. I wish that I could say to people who see that face, that this is not all that is here.
How do you feel about your mother now?
I mean, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. You know, difficult lives are just difficult, and if my mother had stayed it would have been difficult in one way and if she had gone, if would have been difficult in another way. And it's the lack of support that I think that my mother had, you know, as a poor black woman with big dreams. She, she wanted a life beyond the small one room that her mother had. And so, she could have that life, or she could stay and look after these two children. And, you know, she chose, and she was 23 years old. You know, I'm 36 right now and considering parenthood and even now, it is scaring the bejesus out of me.
Did writing about your childhood make you think differently about motherhood?
Yes. I want to have a baby, badly. I've been in and out of relationships over the last couple of years and I finally got to the place where I said, you know, I'm having a baby—partner or no partner. I'm going to be a parent, because I feel I have something I want to offer. But I was just talking to a bunch of women this week, where I was kind of losing my mind a little bit, thinking, how do I guarantee that my pathology and neuroses…[how do] I prevent those things from informing how I parent? How do I, as a lesbian parent—if it's a boy, how do I teach him to be a good man without him aping some of the kind of heterosexist ways that exist in the world? So it really made me question, and writing the book, I had to really take note of how deeply I was affected by the things that happened to me.
When you come out in the book, it's like you're rejecting so much of what was taken for granted before, maybe not by you, but in your culture. Was it an either/or situation for you?
It was, you know. I mean, in the epilogue I think that I talk about the regret, that I wish I hadn't been as brash or forthright or dismissive of other people's feelings about my sexuality. But…I was just young…and angry and a know-it-all. But, a lot of people's responses—people don't always have a problem with your sexuality because they think that it's wrong and that you're going to go to hell. Lots of times, people think that it's a bad road for you to go down and they love you and they don't want you to make those choices. Many people don't understand that for some of us, it's not a choice.
And then, you have to understand that when you come out when you are young, it's not just that you are coming out and telling people.
And especially for those of us who come from communities of color, where respect for your elder is the most important thing—and so, when you say to someone, "I'm gay and you have to deal with it," you're not just saying "I'm gay," you're not just kind of giving a little leaflet with some information on it to these people—you are being disrespectful and you are going against what was planned for you. And it's not as simple as just needing to tell people and explaining to them that you're gay.
Did you come out to your grandmother?
I think that, I never said to my grandmother, "I'm a lesbian," because I don't think that word exists in her vocabulary…but, I took my girlfriends home to meet her in the same way [I had taken my boyfriends]. And I was as affectionate with them and she gave us advice in the same way. And so, I think there are some people for whom words are not important. And my grandmother, when it came to the really important things—if she made you a sandwich, you would know that that meant she loved you and she didn't have to sit you down and say, "I really want you to know that I love you."
You write that you owe all of your success to your grandmother's work.
I think she worked enough to make sure that I would succeed. You know, when I say "work," she did more than her fair share of work in the world, and so on the days that I rest, I think somehow in the weird, stupid, airy-fairy balance of the world, I feel as if I can take a day of rest because of how much grandma worked.

The war that is being waged in the executive commuter bike segment is just as intense, if not more, as the war in the 150cc plus performance (so-called) segment. The latest to join the others in the mileage melee with the likes of Hero Motor Corp's Splendor and Passion, Yamaha YBR 110, the Suzuki Hayate and Bajaj Platina is Honda's latest offering, the Dream Yuga.
The question that loomed large over all else was why Honda has bothered to introduce another 110cc in the market, while the CB Twister was still in the market, and doing pretty well too. The 125cc Honda Shine also has a good hold over the market, then why a new frugal sibling?
I got the answer when I actually got to test the bike. The Dream Yuga is as simplistic as it gets – fulfilling the prerequisites that this segment demands, and nothing more than that. But more importantly, it also delivers on the Honda promises of reliability and long term value.
But there were other questions in my head about the Dream Yuga, so to find the answers I got down to riding this bike where it actually belongs – crowded city streets.
Styling and Build
Although the Dream Yuga sports an engine identical to the CB Twister, it looks nothing like it. Barring Honda's trademark beak-style headlamp, and the aerodynamic the front cowl, it a totally different bike. Body graphics start from the eight-litre tank and run all along the body. Honda has done a good paint job on the Dream Yuga, and the review unit I received had an impressive metallic shade of red. The front fender is of the same colour as the body, and so is the rear grab-rail.
The top end variant that I tested featured matte-black 18-inch, six-spoke alloy wheels. Even the exhaust and the air-cooled engine come daubed in matte-black paint. In fact, the minimal use of chrome gives the bike a very city-friendly look. The instrument cluster is laid out in a twin pod format, and consists of the odometer and speedometer on one side and the fuel-gauge and tell-tale lights on the other side. Like other bikes in this segment, it does not feature a tachometer, but it wouldn't have hurt Honda to add a tripmeter, for the sake of commuters who love keeping a track of their fuel consumption.
The left-hand side of the handle-bar has all the electricals, save the ignition switch, which is not on the right hand side. As with the Hayate and Passion Pro, the Dream Yuga also does not come with an engine kill switch. The switches feel a little plasticky and just above average. The inclusion of a pass switch is a good decision.
The Dream Yuga is powered by the same 109cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that the CB Twister runs on, with a slight variation. The engine manages to produce a maximum power of 8.5bhp at 7500rpm, and generates a peak torque of 0.9kgm at 5500rpm.
The engine incorporates Honda's Intelligent Ignition Control System, which manages to keep the throttle responsive at all times. The bike performed well where it mattered – choked streets. Weighing 108 kgs, coupled with the peppy engine, the Dream Yuga manages to weave in and out of traffic very easily.
The 4-speed gearbox is laid out in an all-up manner, and by 40kmph, it can already be on top gear. While such short gearing system would improve fuel efficiency in heavy traffic and regular city riding conditions, I sorely missed a fifth gear on open stretches of road. The gears register with a resounding "thunk", though shift quality was fine.
The Dream Yuga comes with 130mm drum brakes, which were a huge disappointment. They perform decently in heavy traffic, although I needed to use both front and rear brakes together to stop in time, as the rear brake alone was not responsive enough at higher speeds. On stretches where I accelerated hard and needed to decelerate quickly, I missed the reassuring feel of disc brakes. Asking for a rear disc for this segment is too much, but a front disc would've made braking a lot more efficient.
I could accelerate to speeds of up to 90-100 kmph. But after 80 kmph, the bike starts to send up a lot of vibration. Honda claims the mileage to be approximately 72 kilometers to the litre, under standard test conditions.
Riding Comfort
The Dream Yuga features a long seat, which was very comfortable while riding inside the city. I'm guessing that the pillion rider will also have a lot of room on it. The thing that bothered me a bit was that it wasn't as wide enough as I would've wished for. The seat also felt a little too soft for longer rides. But as this motorcycle is pitched for riding inside the city, it shouldn't be a disheartening factor.
The front telescopic fork suspension absorbs shocks from potholes quite easily, and the rear tube-type hydraulic shock absorbers fared well on the roughest by-lanes. A clean ground clearance of 161mm coupled with these shock-absorbers gave me a very comfortable ride in the busiest and bumpiest of Chennai's roads.
Cornering comes as a delight on this commuter. The short turning radius ensured that I could easily negotiate those tricky short-cuts which I usually avoid on the way to work. The 80/100 tyres seemed frail at first, but they were quite grippy on the road. I was further impressed because I tested the bike on roads that were freshly rained-on, and the Dream Yuga was rock steady around the corners.
If you're looking for a bike that wins you the traffic signal drag race, then this is not your thing. But if you're looking at something that appeases your fill-and-forget philosophy, then you might consider this as an option.
The Dream Yuga might just be Honda's best launch in this segment, as this bike stays as simple as possible, while churning out good numbers on mileage and am guessing on economical maintenance too. Shine has already grabbed its fair share of the market – it remains to be seen if this dream actually works out for Honda.
The Dream Yuga is available in three variants and in five colours starting from an ex-showroom price (Delhi) of Rs 44,642.

After much deliberation, the Hermosa Beach City Council voted 4-1 to move from the city's current flat-rate waste collection to a system that charges customers based on the size and number of containers they use for trash and recyclables.
The crowd, which filled the council chambers and spilled into the lobby, applauded the action.
The council also voted 3-2 to begin contract negotiations with Athens Services—one of the final three bidders, instead of with incumbent Consolidated Disposal Services or Crown Disposal.
The bidders had all submitted proposals for both types of waste collection systems—a "cart system" or the existing flat-rate "manual single stream" system, which allows refuse and recyclables to be co-mingled in a single container, requiring only one trash vehicle to empty the container. Recyclables are later retrieved during processing at a sorting center.
The cat system—where people pay for waste collection services based on the size and number of waste containers used—typically means citizens who don't produce large amounts of refuse may ultimately pay less per month than they currently do, while others, such as large families, may pay more because they need more waste container.
"I'm very glad that the city has very wisely chosen to separate recycling streams," Hermosa Beach resident Robert Fortunado said of the decision. "The cross-contamination (from a single stream system) could only mean that more would go to the landfill."
Before the vote to choose the type of waste collection, each of the three potential waste haulers, consultants from HF&F and citizens had the opportunity to present information.
Of more than a dozen citizens who spoke, the majority supported the cart system, largely agreeing to the idea of keeping separate streams for refuse and recyclables. Nevertheless, others asked the council before the vote to continue the flat-rate option.
"If you approve this option, my monthly bill will go up 38 percent, and that's using the least expensive company and reducing one of my bins," resident Clayton Shepherd told the council. "Another big problem I have is that an additional truck will have to be coming up my small, narrow street for green waste pickup. That would be three trucks now coming up my street that is already a horribly worn surface.
"I'm concerned that I will have to change the rental agreements for the tenants in my rentals. I have a predictable cost now, but by going to option one, I don't know what the costs will be. From the staff reports tonight, there is an extra $5 charge if a person puts out one extra container. Every tenant and landlord in this city should be concerned," he said.
The overall cost for waste collection services would have increased under all of the proposals at last night's meeting, according to HF&F Consultants, LLC, an advisory firm hired by the city.
Councilman Peter Tucker made the motion to approve the cart system option.
Councilman Michael DiVirgilio agreed. "There's a lot of reasons I like the option, but why I like it most is that I think it's an early effort to actually have people pay for what they need," he said.
Councilman Kit Bobko was the only dissenting vote.
Tucker also motioned to select Athens Services as the waste collection agency the city will negotiate with, but councilman Howard Fishman and Mayor Jeff Duclos disagreed.
Fishman's substitute motion to award the contract negotiations to Crown Disposal failed in a 2-3 vote; the council then voted 3-2 to negotiate with Athens Services, selecting Crown Disposal as the alternate.
Consolidated, the city's current waste hauler, was left out of the equation.
"Consolidated, we appreciate what you've done with us over the years and we thank your drivers and everyone else," Bobko said. "This is a tough choice, and it's probably one of the hardest ones I've had to make as a councilman."

Getting on the ship only took us about 45 minutes. Once we were on the ship we were told that our room was not going to be ready for another 2 hours. Everything else on the ship was open, so we decided to have lunch by the pool.
FOOD! WOW! You will never go hungry on this ship! There is a 24-hour pizzeria, a grill (serves hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries), a sandwich place, an asian corner, sushi bar, not to mention the buffet! The food is great! We had the late night seating in the lower Lincoln dinning room. We ate there every night. The food is fabulous there and you can order as much as you want!
Ports of call. Our first stop was Grand Cayman. This stop we had a tender which means that smaller boats come to the ship and take passengers ashore. We did the 7-mile beach with transport excursion. This was a very nice and relaxing day. One problem with this port is the tender ride back to the ship. Everyone was trying to get back onto the ship at the same time which created a HUGE line. The ship ended up being delayed one hour because people were still trying to get back to the ship.
Our second stop was Isla Roatan Honduras. This was our favorite! We did the Catamaran Sail and Snorkel adventure. We were greeted by our tour guide Alson who was so funny. He gave us a little history of the island on our way to the catamaran. The waters were so clear. It was a very beautiful day. I will definitely be doing this excursion again!
Our third stop was Belize. We did the cave tubing with belizecruiseexcursions.com They were great! The Belize caves are beautiful. The bus ride there and back are a little long, but we got to see a lot of the country so that was nice.
Our last stop was Costa Maya. It was very windy this day and a bunch of water excursions got cancelled. We were lucky because we did the 4X4 Rhino Adventure. This excursion was very neat because you take a 2 passenger rhino and ride next to the beach to a private beach area where you can lay out, relax on a hammock, have lunch, and go swimming in crystal clear waters.

Elderly obese have higher risk of falling
Older obese individuals have an increased risk of falling and most believe nothing can be done to prevent it.
This is the finding from a study published in the February issue of Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health.
Rebecca Mitchell and colleagues at Neuroscience Research Australia found that obese individuals had a 31% higher risk of falling, but no higher risk of a fall-related injury than individuals of a healthy weight.
"Obese individuals indicated that they thought nothing could be done to prevent older people falling," Dr Mitchell said.
"They were also more likely to report being in moderate or extreme pain or discomfort, remain sedentary for more than eight hours a day, to walk less and have problems walking."
"Both overweight and obese fallers in this study believed that they were not doing enough physical activity."
"A more active lifestyle and regular weight-bearing exercise could reduce fall risk in this group as well as improving their overall health."

The roots of the Presbyterian Church trace back to John Calvin, a 16th-century French reformer. Calvin's theology was very similar to Martin Luther's. He agreed with Luther on the doctrines of original sin, justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the sole authority of the Scriptures. He distinguishes himself theologically from Luther primarily with the doctrines of predestination and eternal security.
Presbyterian Doctrine:
- The Authority of Scripture - Our knowledge of God and God's purpose for humanity comes from the Bible, particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life of Jesus Christ.
- Justification by Grace through Faith - Our salvation (justification) through Jesus is God's generous gift to us and not the result of our own accomplishments.
- The Priesthood of All Believers - It is everyone's job - ministers and lay people alike - to share this Good News with the whole world. The Presbyterian church is governed at all levels by a combination of clergy and laity, men and women alike.
- The Sovereignty of God - God is the supreme authority throughout the universe.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WDRB) -- Often combative and talking over each other, prosecutor David Tachau and Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin clashed over whether the District 2 councilwoman violated the city's ethics code.
"There's no way I could benefit if I already knew how to sow and I'm helping somebody else -- and I didn't benefit in any kind of way financially," Shanklin said.
Tachau claims Shanklin violated the ethics code by taking part in a tax-funded upholstery program and allowing its instructor to be overpaid. The program that went on for years was canceled in 2011 after the Metro Corrections Director decided it was not benefiting the intended users. Records show Shanklin and her relatives were among those who participated in the class.
"When I was in the classroom, I was working as a community person - just like anybody else," Shanklin said.
Tachau: "I asked you if you knew if any ex-offender ever got a job from the program? You said you didn't know. OK
Tachau argues Shanklin created the program, oversaw its funding, and allowed the instructor Linda Haywood to be paid twice through an accounting error that was never corrected.
"If you read (the financial statements) you would know the $1200 never went back into the account," Tachau said referring to money he alleges is missing from a neighborhood account Shanklin controlled that contained taxpayer money.
Shanklin says "nothing was misappropriated" and contends the money used to give Haywood pay advances was raised through private funds from neighborhood festivals, vendors and sales from amusement park rides.
Shanklin says she tried to get the money back but couldn't - blaming Haywood. Tachau also says Shanklin lied to police claiming she met with Metro Corrections officials to set up the class.
"It's my testimony that I never met with them," said Dewayne Clark, a Metro Corrections officials.
Shanklin said this Monday: "I was never in a meeting. I had nothing to do with the contracts or how much Haywood would charge."
Shanklin's attorney Aubrey Williams claims she helped her community through tutoring programs, festivals and anti-crime programs. He claims she is not responsible for others' accounting errors. says the city allowed the program to continue for five years.
"Nobody was getting a job from it, and the only people who benefited was Dr. Shanklin and her family members," said Tachau.
Shanklin interjected: "I never benefited - never got a dime out of the class. "
It is likely Shanklin will be called to testify again on Tuesday.
Under a prosecutor's questioning Monday, Shanklin could be fairly combative, as when she responded to a question about why she gave a statement to police, yet refused to testify during an Ethics Commission hearing. She said it was, "Under the advice of my attorney." When told that the hearing officer said she, as the client, made that call, not the attorney, Shanklin responded, "I don't recall anything that the Ethics Commission may have said to me at that time."
The prosecutor tried to press Shanklin further, asking if she was afraid to answer questions. Her attorney objected to the question, and the judge sustained that objection.
"How do we know you benefited the community at all?" was another question from Tachau.
"He misstates the evidence," came the objection from Williams, who was told, "Don't interrupt the counsel."
The exchange continued:
Tachau: "Year after year, the taxpayers spent money on this program even though nobody was getting a job from it." Shanklin: "Nobody was getting a job, as I said before, from other classes, too."Tachau: "And the only people who benefited were Dr. Shanklin and her friends and family, right?" Shanklin: "Never benefited, never got a dime out of the class, in any kind of way."

Finishing 8-8 isnt good if you're a Steelers fan, specially when the RatBirds win the SuperBowl, but some players made us believe that the next season will be much better. I could talk about how Ben and Polamalu missed games and both appear to be healthy now, but the ones Im talking about are Heath Miller and Lawrence Timmons.
I made two videos about them to show why they were voted as the MVP's
Heath had his best season so far in the Steel City, unfortunately he teared his ACL, but will be 100% soon. His teammates chose him as the team's MVP.
Lawrence Timmons was a BEAST last season, he looked like a missile going after the QB, our leader in sacks and interceptions made great plays and earned a defensive MVP title.
