Just some photos of the cutest (almost) three year olds I know.
L- Cate, R-Lucy Cutest hoodies ever (those mittens are the pockets!) from Kiabi.
L-Cate, R-Lucy (if you want to know what they are reading you can read about them here.)
They are SO funny. They make faces all day long (see 2nd photo). They also make me laugh all day long. They sing a LOT.
Love books,baths, hoodies,snacks, Barney. They are practicing their right to say (yell?!?!) "NO!".
Cate likes to point at me, furrow her brow, yell "NO!" and then immediately say "I SY MOMMY!".
I love them so much it makes my heart hurt.
Happy Wednesday,sweet friends.
Back tomorrow with a Project Life post and giveaway.

at almost 2 1/2 years old..
They are clearly super boring. No personality, no facial expressions whatsoever.
They never make me laugh.
Okay, who am I kidding. I might be biased...but they are the cutest things on God's green earth.
True story.
In my house...things like this really happen on a regular basis. Randomly.
And this is why i never. Never ever ever ever x100 want people to say "they feel sorry for me".
It's one of those random things people say when they see us out. Four girls? And TWINS? Oh. I feel sorry for you.
It's AWESOME to have them in my life.
Exhausting...but thoroughly awesome.

it's been a while since i've shared photos of the babies/twinners (bahaha) and talked about what they are up to.
these photos are from a while back at the corn maze. i never shared them and i wanted to today.
so...i know everyone thinks they have the cutest baby in the world. but honest to blog I DO. i have the cutest babies in the entire universe. and that is a fact.
i mean...just look at them!
they are HILARIOUS. and wild. they are into everything. they climb and throw and destroy. they are baby godzillas.
they can destroy our home in 10 seconds flat. and they do so on a daily (hourly?) basis.
they love snacks.
and bath time.
and elmo. they love each other so much.
unless they are beating each other up. yes. they are like the 2 stooges. face slapping,tackling,hair pulling, licking. it is out of control.
they have insane amounts of hair. crazy hair.
i tie it in tiny topknots every morning. cate somehow has a ratted birds nest in the back of her hair in the same spot every single day.
their favorite words are NO and CWY(color). they like to point and yell no at us in surround sound. it's pretty awesome. not.
they are picky and stubborn. they don't talk much so i usually can't figure out what they are mad about. but they get MAD.
they say "sheshe" and "cake" for lucy and cate.
they freak out if we separate them. i once tried to take ONE baby to the grocery store and an epic meltdown ensued. i took both. if cate wakes up from nap first, i take her downstairs and she spends the entire time walking around with a furrowed brow,tilted head,and puzzled facial expression saying "sheshe? sheshe?".
they think that they can do everything themselves. and they do not like you telling them otherwise.
they like to clean up clean up (deedup deedup) with a baby wipe. they will go full "cinderelley" and wipe the floor all day. they also like to throw random things in the trash. which is helpful. :)
they love music and dancing.
and their big sisters.
they like to kiss you on the lips while holding your face in their little hands.
they can throw themselves to the floor, limbs flailing,angrily screaming,limp noodling...like nothing i've ever seen before.
and in one week from tomorrow they will be two.
how did that happen? y'all i can't even tell you how much i love them. they are so precious. our lives have been so changed by them. they are exhausting and beautiful.
i love you cate and lucy.

Note:Make sure to check the crop winners I posted this morning, y'all!
This weekend,as I mentioned,it was just me and the babies.It was seriously weird. And quiet. But really fun. We blew LOTS of bubbles. And danced,and snuggled,and sang The Itsy Bitsy Spider 23428340283 times. And blew more bubbles.
I don't think they knew what to do with themselves. I'm not sure if they wondered where the big girls were, or if they just LOVED having me all to themselves!
I decided it was time to get out my "real camera" and document how cute they are right now. Their facial expressions slay me.I mean really...the eyebrows. The mouths...I die.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the weekend. Lucy is in the left in all of the table shots,and Cate is on the right.
In the outside shots,Lucy is in the yellow and Cate is in the pink.

18 months old is the best age in the WORLD. Hands down. I forget every time and I fall in love with this age all over again.
Chubby legs running, slobbery kisses,snugggles,chattering,laughing.The BEST.
On another note,yes I'm around and okay. I've been out of town 2 weekends in a row...finding a house in RI (having bad luck there),finishing the school year,preparing for a visit from BB,etc etc.
I am just fine but I've started having ocular migraines again. This tells me I'm pushing myself...and I know that. I'm taking the necessary measures to make sure I take care of my girls and me, and that means not blogging as much. I simply can't do it ALL and I have to accept that. So I hope you will excuse my intermittent presence here.
Thanks for those of you who have checked on me. I swear I have the most compassionate blog readers and friends in the world.

it's a joy to be able to witness 2 almost 18 months old feel the sand under their toes for the first time.
it's a treat to watch the sand move under their legs as the tide comes in and to see the complete and utter confusion on their little faces.
there is nothing...and i mean NOTHING cuter than chubby baby legs and swimsuits.
watching a baby accidentally eat sand for the very first time is hilarious.
cate found it hilarious too.
this one kind of grosses me out b/c it looks strangely real. but that is a beach toy:
and i have to tell you...there is major satisfaction to be found in the simple act of taking your four children to the beach without your husband's help.
it was a major i CAN do it moment! yes...the bigs were there, but i didn't get any photos because they were frolicking in the ocean and i couldn't leave the babies for a second. :)
hope your monday is beautiful,blessed,and productive.

How in the world are they almost a year and a half old?
Y'all...I know I am biased but they are so so precious. They giggle and kiss and dance all day long. I am just absolutely in love with them. Their favorite thing to do right now is kiss.
They start about a foot away from me and say "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnUH!" and on the UH they give me a big smackeroo on the mouth. They smooch and hug each other all day long.
Also they pull hair and slap each other all day long. That's not so nice. We are working on "BEING SOFT".
They make a mess everywhere. Anything they can reach they WILL pick up and move. I just found a box of quinoa in the bathtub.
The other day i found one of my flats in my shower. They hide in one of the kitchen cabinets and think it is hilarous.
Baby proofing? Has taken on a WHOLE new meaning with these two.
They also love bath time. The splashing and giggling is out of control during baths. I swear I'm going to have to start wearing a raincoat. HA!
Is hilarious. She is tiny (but she has quite the belly) and her hair is curly. She is the quieter of the two,but she loves to interact. If anyone smiles in her direction, she is SO engaged.
She loves making exaggerated facial expressions. Her favorite is her "OH!" face (see above). She makes it any time she is excited, or any time she does something wrong. It makes me laugh every single time.
She doesn't take a binkie but she does this thing we call "monkey mouth". She sucks on her tongue when she's tired or doesn't feel well.
She loves bananas,crackers,and sweet potatoes. She runs really fast with one arm swinging and she dances by not moving her body,but holding her arms up in the air and making her "oh" face.
Is about 3 lbs bigger than Cate. She loves to eat and moans the whole time she does (AHAHA). She loves blueberries,cheese,strawberries,crackers and whatever I am eating. She is such a beggar!
She gets DOWN when she dances. Literally. Girlfriend bounces so deep her diaper hits the floor.
She says "UH OH" in the most perfect way when she makes a mess or does something naughty.
If i don't put her hair in a top pony she can't see a thing through her mop top and will run into walls.
She talks a LOT. She is the verbal one. Her favorite words right now are: UH OH, Sadie, cracker,cheese,cookie,ni night,mama,dada,harper,car,bye bye bath
She still loves her binkie.
The other thing that they are way into right now is saying "cheeeeeeese!". Here's a video of them right now.Y'all I love them so much I can't take it. Twins are just so much fun.
Happy Tuesday friends. Hope it's beautiful and blessed.

is it ironic that a beginning can also seem like an ending??
on saturday afternoon, both of my baby girls took their first steps.
cate first...she let go of my fingers with a grin firmly in place. and she took two wobbly steps before collapsing in my arms with a giggle.
lucy girl was next. she took two lunging steps, interrupting jimmy right as he was saying "who knows when she'll walk with those thunder thi....".
i remember harper's first steps (to jimmy, in her bedroom at 12 months old) and sadie's first steps (to my mother-jimmy was deployed-at 10 months old). i remember them like they were yesterday. but they weren't.
and as the girls walked to me, i tried to hide my teary eyes with loud laughter and whoops of joy. but a tear or two escaped as it hit me-
"these are the last first steps i will witness".
and i think i am okay with that, but it breaks my heart a little bit.
i know there will be so many more firsts. so many more. but for a moment i wanted to treasure THESE first steps. savor them, revel in them, imprint them in my memory.
the day both of my babies walked.my last babies.
now? on to something new. :) BABY CAGES. just kidding. sort of. leashes?

May 22, 2011Very boring dlc, very bland, and it has nothing we haven't seen before in other fallouts. The only good thing is the scenery, which is really well done except for some confusing navigating. aside from that, it lasts about 2 or 3 hours and has a very straightforward plot that takes advantage of none of it's elements. The burned man is here, but aside from his bandages, and a few spoken lines, hes unremarkable. No legion assassin hunting him, or NCR rangers, or any other subplot you could think of (and there are many), to be seen. there only two tribes, and they are really just the same one but in two different camps. the side quests take literally 5 minutes apiece to complete, and there is almost no new gear to be had. whats more, like the Dead Money DLC, it has absolutely no bearing on the Mojave. but then again thats true of all FO/DLC… Expand
Jun 5, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout: New Vegas - Honest Hearts has committed the most serious of gaming sins; it's boring.
Centering around the infamous Burned Man, a war hero punished for failure by Ceaser by being covered in burning pitch and tossed into the Grand Canyon, the story had every chance to be interesting and dynamic. However this chance is squandered as the character in question hands the player plain and boring fetch or kill quests while spouting biblical prose. Instead of an angry, driven who should seem 10 feet tall, we encounter a totally bland anti-hero.
Honest Hearts also suffers from some of the same bugs as New Vegas itself - AI frequently spawn inside world geometry and get stuck there; your companion AI often make bad decisions both in combat and navigation wise.
All up, I can't say I recommend this as a worthwhile addition.… Expand
May 19, 2011Compared to Dead Money: I definitely liked Dead Money more. The only thing I liked about HH was the environment and Joshua Graham's character... everything else went by far too fast and was just too bland. You barely get to interact with any of the tribes - the moment you meet them you're immediately put on generic fetch / kill quests. Fortunately, the environment is excellently done. The introduction sequence was also done very well, but I found it to be a downhill ride from there. I felt the ending sequences were very anticlimactic, mostly due to poor scripting, and the endings themselves didn't have any effect on me. Besides Joshua Graham, all the characters are very two-dimensional and feel like cardboard cutouts, especially one of the main characters you will meet called Daniel. In contrast, I found all the characters of Dead Money to be very interesting, and also felt it had a much better story. The endings of Dead Money are also much more satisfying and had a far greater effect on me than Honest Hearts'. Gameplay wise, Honest Hearts is very much like the base Fallout game - very open-ended and sandbox like. Unlike what seems to be a lot of people, I don't judge DLC based on the items / perks / whatever you get from them (would you pay $10 for a DLC that added a 9000 damage pistol and nothing else?)... and I think that Honest Hearts' narrative is on the weak side. If you don't have either DLC yet and want a more story and character-driven experience, get Dead Money instead. On the other hand, if you want to learn more about the Burned Man or think the very powerful guns in Honest Hearts is worth $10, get this instead. (Or just get both).… Expand
May 23, 2011This expansion is so much better than Dead Money in every way.
I love the settings of this DLC, it takes place in Utah, at a place called Zion.
This expansion also features rain, something i have never seen before in a Fallout game, if my memory is not failing.
Also, it is a little bit longer than Dead Money, that if you decide to explore everything and complete every Quest and Side quests.
Jun 15, 2011The environment is gorgeous, the trees, the plants, the sky, all of it. But the game play itself lacks. The story is too short, and the story is honestly pretty boring. They tell you the "White Legs" are very dangerous people! But they aren't. They tell you the story is deep and rich, but it's not. Etc. That's my point. It lacked in too many regards. Sure it had some really neat new weapons that's cool, and a few cool new perks, but overall the game play lacked. But I will give it a 7 for being a gorgeous landscape to explore.… Expand
Jun 29, 2011Thumbs up from this Fallout3 fan. I liked the setting far more than Dead Money's morbid landscape, liked it better than New Vegas. I play at greatest difficulty and hardcore, and it's still not hard enough, but in Honest Hearts it's not easy, and I had to carefully watch my ammo and supplies, even with a few perks that let me make my own. I do wish Zion was fully realized, more depth and development, more interaction with the various tribes, friendships, and perhaps even a little romance. On the minus side, Honest Hearts crashes Fallout-NV more than usual (for me it's uncommon for FNV to crash, but it crashed about 5-6 times in the whole HH playthrough), companions utter their convo lines too often, and, like I stated, I really wish there was more to this world-within-a-world, more depth. Regardless, gave it a 8, and I highly recommend it.… Expand
Jul 13, 2011I picked this up on the steam sale for $3. It was about 5+ hours of game play. New map with a bunch to explore and new weapons. .45 Pistol / sub machine gun. It was fun and worth every penny. Still worth it to pick it up full price.
Jun 14, 2011I'll keep it simple. Dead Money was better story and action wise. It's made for mid-level players; especially those who favor small guns. There are no fun energy or big guns to be had here. Though molotovs are around! The game is somewhat fun and I enjoyed going through it, but it's lack luster for a primary point: It's very, very, incredibly short. YOu can enjoy it, but it should have been more.
Jan 8, 2012It's an entertaining DLC with good back story for the main game and some interesting internal stories, but overall it was short and primarily good for getting experience and gear. It's best to get it on sale and do it as early on as you can.
Jul 22, 2011I preferred this DLC to Dead Money but Honest Hearts felt a bit 'lite' to me, and a bit easy but my main gripe is that the whole thing basically consists of fetch-quests that felt like chores. Still, the Tribals and environment did remind me at times of Fallout 2 which can only be a good thing.
Oct 19, 2011Beautiful scenery can not save this DLC from its failings - tedious fetch quests, an uninspiring main plot, and few interesting new items. While Dead Money was a bit too long; Honest Hearts is far too short. I was really surprised when the final mission began - I'd only been playing for an hour or so. If you're not already set on getting all the DLC, avoid this one.
Oct 2, 2011Story isnt that great but realy, this is the video game genre, its about gameplay not prissy fan boys that rate their games by the story, the gameplay is well, F3/FNV gameplay, i found the exploring more fun then the mojave and the fighting is realy fun when you get into it. The beggining is also pretty dark but in a good way.
Jul 27, 2011It is a nice DLC, adds some new weapons and the ability to go back to map where it plays after you finished the all the quests.
The quests them self aren't to challenging and in fact a bit easy to figure everything out. The perks you gain add some sweet extra stuff and the level cap increase isn't bad at all.
After completing each quest you'll gain at least 3 levels. Overall:
A.I. Is good, didn't experienced any problem at all.
Quests are short and not really challenging (however a minimum level of 25 is useful).
New perks are always nice, can't complain about it.
New weapons, sadly enough the weapons require ammunition which isn't to common in New Vegas, but the weapon damage for each weapon is reasonable.
I had a great time playing trough this even if it is a bit short.… Expand
Mar 3, 2012The middleground of the bunch. A new worldspace that is different and interesting. Some extra content that is interesting. A completely separate story that is mildly interesting. The graphics take a big hit for some reason in this dlc. The red rocky landscape is really low resolution. It's passable. And fun to explore. One thumb up, one thumb sideways.
Aug 3, 2013A mediocre, but improved DLC offering over Dead Money, an interesting new ambiguous character and the Indian inspiration still leave a little bit to be desired.
Oct 22, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely short DLC, comprised mostly of fetch quests which are pretty much irrelevant to the story. You are basically thrown in the middle of a war of tribals against tribals, the good guys led by Joshua Graham (the Burned Man of Legion fame) and the bad guys led by someone who's just in the game to get his head blown off. Sounds interesting? I didn't think so. The quests are extremely bland and the terrain, while well made, shows off some of the problems of the engine (such as enemies walking erratically when on slopes, and AI spawning inside geometry). The tribal characters aren't interesting at all, Daniel is uncharismatic and Graham does not look like the badass that he is or used to be, just a regretful guy who keeps spewing religious **** Worse of all, the reason the games gives you to play the DLC is pretty much because Daniel tells you that "either you help us defeat the other tribe or I won't tell you how to leave Zion",and the only good aspect of this DLC is that you can then blow his head off, grab a map which shows the way off the zone and there you go, the end! In short: uninteresting quests, characters and story, and short too, so nothing to see here, move along.… Expand
Apr 30, 2013Honest Hearts is probably the most similar to the core game as you'll get out of 4 DLCs. You get a new wasteland to explore, characters to interact with, and items to find. It told a decent story and was moderately fun.
Nov 18, 2011It is a real shame this DLC wasn't longer and more developed. The storyline needed substantially more development and the environment/map wasn't used to its full extent. However, in comparison to the preceding DLC of Dead Money, it is significantly better (probably due to the longer development time). In spite of that, it still didn't quite live up to its full potential. A very disappointing DLC despite being very good for the short duration of gameplay.… Expand
Jan 27, 2012'Zion may not be lost to us after all.' When I heard this quote, there was something completely bad-ass about it that made me look forward to this DLC. And I did enjoy it. Very much. But I can recognise the flaws here too. Joshua Graham. The Malpais Legate. The Burned Man. The man who defied Caesar's death order. Whatever you want to call him, this is the guy, perhaps Ulysses apart, that we all wanted to know. Was he really still alive? Well we all figured he would be, that's just how storytelling works. Does he live up to expectations? Probably not.
But why am I talking about one man and not the rest of the DLC? Well, that's how hyped this guy was in online communities. But then we find him, embroiled in a petty war between three tribes, remember, this is the guy who ruthlessly killed many people, He's still an intruiging character, but when you meet a character for the first time, that you've only heard of in references, they're never quite as good as in you head are they? Just sat in a cave? Hm. At least, from a story point he holds an interesting bent. The idea of flushing out the evil people and creating a 'good' society from scratch. Zion.
Ah Zion. My favourite locale in the whole of New Vegas. If you had to identify New Vegas, and indeed the whole of the Fallout series in general by a colour, it'd be grey. Grey grey grey grey grey. A splash of plant green here and there, and some grey-red if you're playing Dead Money. Zion remains almost untouched from the great wars. Plants grow everywhere, the water is beautiful, the canyons steep and gorgeous. It wills you into following Graham's idea that this could be paradise,
Unfortunately the story, while at a good pace, isn't that gripping. The choice? Kill the bad guys and stay in Zion, or run away. Duh, kill the baddies of course. Wow, that was a tough choice, might need a lie down now. The quests are pretty poor mostly too. Go and find 5 lunchboxes? Oh yeah, totally man. The only thing that forgives this is walking through the lushness.
Honest Hearts is a welcome break in a new direction for New Vegas. Joshua Graham is a good character, but no way did this Graham kill many many people in the Legion. The best looking DLC and a new refreshing slant in New Vegas.… Expand
Aug 4, 2012In my opinion, one of the shorter downloadable content lasting around 4-5 hours. The landscape is nice and the area offers many places to explore, but the quests get boring and started losing interest after the first hour or so. Also, my game crashed 5 or so times while playing this.
Aug 24, 2013I believe for any kind of content, you either have quantity (example: Skyrim), or you have quality (example: The Witcher 2). Preferably both, but you are screwed if you have neither. FNV is a good shot at attaining both, but unfortunately, Honest Heart has neither.
It is incredibly short; it has the illusion of a wasteland to explore but unrelated caves are so insignificant that you have no reason to explore them. Story has one character that is supposed to be significant, but he is rather bland other than the fact that he can recite bible.
Overall, a very unimpressive DLC.… Expand
Nov 1, 2012Apart from story written in 6 computers and 1 corpse, this grey piece of averageness barely deserves a 5, you hardly remember it after a couple days, but that little gem of a story elevates it so much, that i want to thank a person (-s) who wrote it. I never thought that finding a two century old corpse would be in my list of top five moments in gaming ever. I stood for at least couple minutes looking at it lost in the moment after that last journal. That was great and i thank you for it.… Expand
Sep 20, 2013Very good environment,too short game length and the story isn't good as it should be,when it was interesting tribes and very interesting main characters i think its a makeshift story work and i think that there should be an option to choose to ally with White Hands if you had a good reputation with legion (and not be from the beginning of the game hostile to you!!!)(like to be appointed by Caesar to travel to Zion Canyon and help the Caesar allies The White Hands to destroy the other tribes or make a peace treaty (Which you can take the one or the other side and help them to negotiate the treaty and stop the war (Like TES:Skyrim when you have to negotiate peace treaty to win Alduin) and the loser side leaves(And go to the NV environment or to a new environment like Dead Horse Point (And you can visit them and help them win the new war against the tribe living on these lands(Not for the white hands cause they have already some other lands except Zion Valley)or losses some lands and you can persuade Caesar not to assimilate the white hands if they win or do a quest like the Great Khans and persuade the White Hands to break their alliance with Caesar and do many quest with the tribes like become their leader or persuade them (For example) to turn from raiders to farmers or to gun dealers or to technology collectors(Like brotherhood of steel) or to a democracy (Like NCR) or raise their army make new encampments or settlements and some other quests about citizens differences,about stop the Legion or NCR or other factions assassins to kill their leaders,about make alliances and about fortify their settlements building new (wood mostly) houses and other building(Like assassins creed 3 homestead) and many other quests.And i think they must had grow the map (make it at least 3 times bigger have more tribes,citizens,factions (like Caesar's Legion and NCR)and more place to make some more villages and other places and more story.
In conclusion i think that this whole dlc was an sketchy work and had a lot of things to bean added!!!
(And It is ridiculous when the white hand leader the Salt-Upon-Wounds loses the battle and cry like a little girl to not been executed i think that he had to deal with it with bravery!!!… Expand
Aug 3, 2014After playing the highly imaginative and original Dead Money DLC, Honest Hearts felt pretty weak and unnecessary in comparison. It's still a good Fallout trip among the Indians into the Zion national park with it's nice stoney nature to explore, but other than that, the experience was quite short, not even 5 hours and pretty average. 5/10
Jun 28, 2011The majority of the DLC is utterly devoid of surprises, treats or interesting characters and places, and you'll soon start getting bored.
Jun 25, 2011The story and decisions are bigger attractions than the limited-appeal loot and artificially toughened enemies.
Jun 24, 2011A fresh perspective on what Fallout: New Vegas may be – very relaxing and calm game. [July 2011, p.117]

The Allure of Narcissistic Spirituality
2011 01 18
By Rabbi Alan Lurie |
Several months ago, my wife and I attended a prayer service at a synagogue that is well known for its spiritual, and spirited, approach. As we entered, the rabbi was leading a meditation. "Close your eyes and breathe in the peace of Shabbat [the Sabbath]." she said. "And on the out-breathe imagine that you are sending healing love to all beings." We passed a man who appeared to be deep in meditation. His eyes were closed, and through a slightly opened smile he slowly breathed in and out. As we moved to our seats, I accidentally stepped on his toe. He quickly turned toward me; his smile vanished and he angrily hissed, "Hey, watch it, buddy!"
In the irony of a person being angry at a stranger for accidentally interrupting his meditation about universal, unconditional love, this man demonstrated the disturbing, alluring and all-too common phenomenon of "spiritual narcissism."
To understand spiritual narcissism we must first understand the word "spirituality." My acting definition is, "The experience of a transformative connection." In other words, spirituality is experienced -- it is not a concept or construct. It transforms us. It changes how we act, think and feel in all environments. And it is a connection -- a profound contact with something and someone outside of our selves.
All three of these components are needed in order for spirituality to occur, but the most essential is that it be a connection -- between a person and the Divine, or between one person and another. Spiritual practices are designed to facilitate these connections, and begin with the knowledge that we have two selves: an ego-self and a true-Self. The ego-self is built on our strategy for ensuring that we are physically safe, stemming from our interpretation of the experiences of our lives (primarily our childhood) in which we determined what was required in order to survive. The ego-self may need to impress, dominate or control and sees others as either threats or tools. There is nothing inherently wrong with the ego-self; it is a necessary structure put in place so that we can survive in physical reality. But it is not who we really are, and we can not make a spiritual connection from it. Our true-Self, however, which is often referred to as our soul, contains the very purpose that we incarnated, and is in constant connection with Spirit/Consciousness/Creation/God. It sees others as fellow souls with equally needed purposes, and has compassion for the suffering that comes from the ego-selfs attachment to things.
Spiritual practices help us to loosen the grip of the ego-self and to connect to the true-Self, so that we can live purposefully, be of service and participate in love. The central Biblical injunction to "Love your neighbor as yourself" is usually interpreted to mean that we must learn to love others, with the assumption that we already love ourselves. Literally translated, though, this line actually reads, "And you will [in the future tense] love your fellow in the same way that you love yourself." In other words, we will love another to the extent and in the way that we love ourselves. If you are harsh with yourself, you will be harsh with others. If you can not forgive yourself, you can not forgive others. In this way, this line is not a commandment, but is a statement of fact. The truth is that most of us do not love ourselves very well, and consequently we hurt others. This is why spiritual practices so often seek to teach us how to love ourselves, so that we can better love others. Real love naturally flows in two directions.
Spiritual practices becomes narcissistic, though, when the ego-self hijacks the process and assumes that it is the object of self love, becoming enamored of looking in the mirror and claiming that its reflection is the true-Self. Then we loose our way, forgetting that the purpose of learning to love ourselves is to become more open, kind and effective in interactions with others, and instead of opening our hearts with humility and compassion, we assume a position of superiority -- exactly what the ego desires for its safety. Spiritual narcissism sees self-love as the end goal. Spirituality to the ego-self is an object of attainment, much like fame, wealth, an expensive car and a sexy body.
Spiritual narcissism creates the pretense of holiness as an ego strategy to mask insecurity, receive approval, or avoid struggle and growth. "Im a spiritual person" it proclaims proudly. "I travel to alternate realities, see auras, heal chakras, predict the future, talk to spirits, commune with angels, manipulate energies, meditate for three hours a day, harness the powers of the Universe to attract success. ... The truth is that Im more evolved than you!" Deep spirituality makes us more sensitive to the feeling of others, encouraging an open stance of courage where we can drop our protective shields and accept the vulnerability to be seen as we are. Narcissistic sensitivity, however, is focused solely on the subtle nuances ones own internality, and resists looking at hard, uncomfortable truths that may upset the self image. One who is narcissistically sensitive is easily offended by the "coarseness" of others, seeks to make his environment change to align with the contours of his needs, and gets angry or offended when this does not happen.
At a seven-day spiritual silent meditation retreat that I recently attended, devoted to nourishing equanimity, attendees routinely wrote messages to the retreat leaders with complaints about others: one attendee complained that two days of progress was "ruined" by another attendee, who sent a note with the words "I love you," and another complained about someone who was walking too loudly on the leaves outdoors. And the leaders publicly scolded an individual who broke the rules by reading a book in public (in Jewish tradition, embarrassing someone in public is considered a very destructive and violent act, and is strictly forbidden). While complaining about others and shaming a rule-breaker at an event intended to teach equanimity is -- like the story in the beginning of this blog -- ironic, it teaches an important warning: The desire to control others in order to create a "perfect" environment that nurtures our sensitivities is a calling card of spiritual narcissism. It is not a spiritual feat to feel equanimity only when everything is going exactly as one would like. True spirituality takes place in the holy messiness of the world, in open-hearted relationship with others, and in a kind smile to one who accidentally stepped on your foot. In that moment of connection, one can clearly see that the annoyances and upsets are actually wake up calls pulling us out of our self-involvement and in to relationship.
The holiest prayer in the Jewish prayer book is the Amidah -- the "standing" prayer -- in which we are in soul connection to God, so that we can praise our Creator for the beauty and bounty of the world, ask for peace, health and understanding and express gratitude for our lives. What is surprising to many is that most of these prayers are in the plural form; we do not pray alone and for ourselves, but for everyone. In this prayer are words that are, for me, the summation of an antidote to the lure of narcissism: "Purify our hearts to be of service in truth." With this one powerful sentence we yearn to move beyond our ego-selves, and to know our true-Selves so that we can be a blessing to others. This is why Judaism teaches us to focus on acts of kindness: inviting someone to your house for lunch, treating a stranger with kindness and giving money to charity are the highest levels of spirituality.
Spiritual narcissism can be very appealing. I know because I also feel the tug, and too often succumb. But once we see how we are tempted to use the guise of spirituality to shield us from criticism, impress others and make us feel wise, its appeal begins to loosen, and we even find the humor in this upside-down dynamic. Then, we slowly see this as an all-too-human inclination, and as we forgive it in ourselves we can forgive it in others, knowing that we are fellow suffering, struggling, holy beings. As Martin Buber, author of I and Thou wrote, "When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them."

Recent Israeli Synagogue Attack, a Possible False Flag?

Dear Friends - I woke up yesterday morning to see a newspaper lying on the kitchen table with the front page proclaiming that five people were slain in an Israeli synagogue after a so-called "Palestinian attack."

If you missed the 17th Annual EGGtoberfest here are the highlights Click Here
Well, it's my first Thanksgiving with the Egg. I'm excited, but I am also nervous. I'd like to try smoking a turkey this thanksgiving. I'm nervous because I haven't smoked anything yet and it's a big project to undertake and I don't want to ruin the holiday bird. How long will it take to smoke the bird and more importantly, what do I do?
Hello Mrs. L<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
You definitely do not want to learn on a Thanksgiving dinner with many people waiting. It all depends on weight of turkey for cook time and there is tons of great info on GreenEggers.com the "original" forum for BGE. I suggest you do a turkey cook before to learn by trial and error. You will then enjoy and be relaxed during your TG holiday dinner cook. Let us know and post pics. Hope this helps.
Thanks Newegg and everyone else that responded. I'm excited to try it. I think I will practice on a large whole chicken this weekend and see how it does. I do have a nice roasting pan and a rack that are stainless steel. Are they fine to go into the egg? Also, should I put the plate setter in and cook w/ indirect heat or just put the pan and rack right on top of the grill? I know, I know, sooooo many questions.**==
Thanks Granny.
I actually did the bird today and so far so good. I decided to roast the bird whole this time and try spatchcocking next time. It seemed like a lot of extra work and after Church and grocery shopping, I was a little bushed. Stil, I am excited to try the method and see if we like it better. I will let you know how it goes.
Oooooh, the pecan and cherry wood sounds like a good idea. Do you just use regular wood or do you use the chips that you have to soak? The chickens I've done thus far have come out really nice. Excellent skin. Unfortunately,we decided my sister would do the Turkey for thanksgiving, I'll do the one of Christmas. I am going to to do ham and all the side fixings on the EGG to give them that unique EGG flavor.
Anyhoo, not to uspset about not doing the turkey, It will give me more time to practice and sense it's the right time of year, I can do a couple of Turkeys in-between and practice. I want to try and spatchcock the next time.
Anyone have a great recipe for homemade cranberry sauce?
Mrs Lenick,
I've had enormous success with the William-Sonoma "molded Cranberry
Sauce" recipe. Here's the link: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/molded-cranberry-sauce10.html?cm_src=RECIPESEARCH<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I also share
the sentiment of others that a traditional (non-spatchcock) turkey is easy. Though
a huge fan of the spatchcock method, on Thanksgiving we stay traditional. In
our house we make the brine two days out, brine the bird one day out and then
we cook (to temp...works out to about 15 min/lb). I use the ps with legs up,
ceramic feet under the roasting pan, about 1/4 inch of liquid (personal
selection...but water, broth, etc all work) in the bottom, bird in the V-Rack
with the breast down...for about 1 hr, then I turn with the breast up for the
finish. Unlike some, I don't ice the breast prior to cooking, I don't cover
anything (though I do tuck the wing tips under) and I've not experienced any
over-cooked or burnt parts.
My wife
encouraged me to buy an Egg for years...cost scared me away. I've not had one
regret since I made the purchase of my BGE...had it for more than 3 years now.
I can't remember a weekend where I was near my Egg and I didn't cook;
Thanksgiving to all and thanks to all for the enormous help you've provided to
my family and me.
Veteran Eggers please help! I am using with Brine recipe from the BGE cookbook. For the size of my bird, I had to double the brine recipe to submerg. Also, recpipe calls for leaving in solution for 12 hours. I have to leave town and will have to leave in solution for 24 hours. With the solution and time doubled, will my bird be too salty or too seasoned?

Precariously perched on the steep and slippery bank of the "Jordan" (our nickname for the river in Spitak, Armenia), I carefully helped one person out of the cold, swift current before the next one stepped in. A few of us who crowded the bushy and muddy slope stretched our hands out to guide 16 men and women in and out of the river during a baptismal service I will likely never forget.

Note- I brought this post back from its grave only becoz there is a high demand for a new banner even though the show is going to end.
Chunni 'Kanhaiya Glower(KaChu ) fans who earlier protested when their fav was removed from the new one are happy now that the mod has promised to include KaChu . The mods' decision has however irritated other fan groups like AA, AN and RM. They too have threatened to file petitions to include their favourite jodis in the banner. Meanwhile KaCha fans who liked them only as Arju-Rampa are demanding that they show KaCha as AR too.
The mods have suddenly started looking as confused as the CVs themselves. They already have 16 characters in the new one which can be of only 728X90 standard size. If they succumb to the other demands too, there will be more than 25 faces in the new banner which include Arju posing in different styles with his one Champa and three Rampas along with their dupattas .

This book attempts to satisfy two different goals. It presents a comprehensive history of computer chess along with many rare examples of the play of early programs. These examples contain both amazing strokes of brilliance and inexplicable catastrophes; they will give the reader a dear perspective of the pioneer days of computer chess. In contrast, contemporary programs are capable of defeating International Grandmasters; the text contains several recent examples including a remarkable victory over former World Champion Anatoly Karpov. The remainder of the book is devoted to an explanation of how the various parts of a chess program are designed and how they function.

This book was originally published as The Official Blue Book and Encyclopedia of Chess. In reprinting this book, the word "Official" has been deleted because the official rules have since been published by FIDE. However, the rules are substantially the same, just the new rules are more complex and detailed. The author, Kenneth Harkness, was the inventor and developer of the chess rating system that is now used in every country of the world.
