Sons of Liberty
The Sons of Liberty was an organization of dissidents that was created in the Thirteen American Colonies. The secret society was formed to protect the rights of the colonists and to fight the abuses of taxation by the British government. They are best known for undertaking the Boston Tea Party in 1773 in reaction to new taxes. Britain responded with the Intolerable Acts (an intense crackdown by the British government), and a counter-mobilization by the Patriots.[1]
In the popular imagination, the Sons of Liberty was a formal underground organization with recognized members and leaders. More likely, the name was an underground term for any men resisting new Crown taxes and laws.[2] The well-known label allowed organizers to issue anonymous summons to a Liberty Tree, "Liberty Pole", or other public meeting-place. Furthermore, a unifying name helped to promote inter-Colonial efforts against Parliament and the Crown's actions. Their motto became, "No taxation without representation."[3]
After defeating France in the French and Indian War, the British government sought to pay for keeping 10,000 officers and soldiers in the colonies, and intended that the colonists contribute.[4] It passed a series of taxes, and when the Americans refused to pay on the argument of "No Taxation without Representation" (there were no colonial representatives in Parliament), Parliament insisted on its right to rule the colonies.[5] The most incendiary tax was the Stamp Act of 1765, which caused a firestorm of opposition through legislative resolutions (starting in Virginia), public demonstrations (starting in Massachusetts), threats, and occasional hurtful losses.[6]
The organization spread month by month, after independent starts in several different colonies. August 1765 celebrated the founding of the group in Boston.[7] By November 6, a committee was set up in New York to correspond with other colonies. In December an alliance was formed between groups in New York and Connecticut. January bore witness to a correspondence link between Boston and New York City, and by March, Providence had initiated connections with New York, New Hampshire, and Newport, Rhode Island. March also marked the emergence of Sons of Liberty organizations in New Jersey, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia, and a local group established in North Carolina was attracting interest in South Carolina and Georgia.[8]
The leaders of the Sons of Liberty heralded mostly from the middle class, artisans, traders, lawyers and local politicians. Samuel Adams and his cousin John were not members of the Sons of Liberty. However there were members of the Sons of Liberty who had influential power with the people such as Benjamin Edes, a printer, and John Gill of the Boston Gazette. They produced a steady stream of news and opinion."[9] Samuel Adams was connected to the Boston Gazette and published many articles under a pen name. This implies that Samuel Adams probably was participatory in the organization through writing, shared opinion, and association with prominent members. Though they were speaking out against the actions of the British government, they still claimed to be loyal to the Crown. Their initial goal was to ensure their rights as Englishmen. Throughout the Stamp Act Crisis, the Sons of Liberty professed continued loyalty to the King because they maintained a "fundamental confidence" in the expectation that Parliament would do the right thing and repeal the tax.[10]
To add weight to their cause, the Sons of Liberty knew they needed to appeal to the masses that made up the lower classes.[11] Several members of the Sons of Liberty were printers/publishers and distributed articles about the meetings and demonstrations the Sons of Liberty held, as well as about the fundamental political beliefs of the group and what they wanted to accomplish. They related in print the major events of the struggle against the new acts to promote their cause and vilify the local officers of the British government. Office holders identified by the Sons of Liberty as being part of the Stamp Act injustice quickly fell out of favor and lost their positions once local elections were held again. The Sons of Liberty would hold meetings to decide which candidates to support—those that would bring about the desired political change. In return, the British authorities attempted to denigrate the Sons of Liberty by referring to them as the "Sons of Violence" or the "Sons of Iniquity."[12]
Furthermore, the inter-communication afforded the Colonies by the widespread nature of the Sons of Liberty allowed for decisive action against the Townshend Act in 1768. One by one the groups penned agreements limiting trade with Britain and imposing a highly effective boycott against importation and sale of British goods.[13]
In many cases their public meetings turned violent.[14] Though the lower classes often agreed with the ideas presented by the Sons of Liberty, they wanted more action than words and simple shows of numbers. As such, the property of the gentry, customs officers and other British authorities often fell victim to the volatile nature of mobs.[15]
In New York City the Sons of Liberty would put up liberty poles to stand as a testament to their resolve. The British soldiers would tear them down almost as soon as they were put up. This back and forth action resulted in several skirmishes between the two sides. Most notable among these engagements was the Battle of Golden Hill on January 19, 1770, in which many people were injured and at least one killed. Violent outbreaks over the pole raged intermittently from 1766 until the Patriots gained control of New York City government in April 1775.
In Boston, another example of the violence they committed could be found in their treatment of a local stamp distributor, Andrew Oliver. They burned his effigy in the streets. When he did not resign, they escalated to burning down his office building. Even after he resigned, they almost destroyed the whole house of his close associate, Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson. It is believed that the Sons of Liberty did this to excite the lower classes and get them actively involved in rebelling against the authorities. Their violent actions made many of the stamp distributors resign in fear.
The Sons of Liberty were also responsible for the burning of HMS Gaspée in 1772.
In December 1773, the Sons of Liberty issued and distributed a declaration in New York City called the Association of the Sons of Liberty in New York, which formally stated their opposition to the Tea Act and that anyone who assisted in the execution of the act was "an enemy to the liberties of America" and that "whoever shall transgress any of these resolutions, we will not deal with, or employ, or have any connection with him". The Sons of Liberty took direct action to enforce their opposition to the Tea Act at the Boston Tea Party. Members of the group, wearing disguises meant to evoke the appearance of Native American Indians, poured several tons of tea into the Boston Harbor in protest of the Tea Act. The Sons of Liberty sat in the long room above member Benjamin Edes's print shop and planned the famous tea party. During the planning, the Sons of Liberty drank from a punch bowl later donated to the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston.
Early in the American Revolution, the Sons of Liberty generally evolved into or were superseded by more formal groups such as the Committee of Safety.
After the end of the American Revolutionary War, Isaac Sears along with Marinus Willet and John Lamb, in New York City, revived the Sons of Liberty. In March 1784, they rallied an enormous crowd that called for the expulsion of any remaining Loyalists from the state starting May 1. The Sons of Liberty were able to gain enough seats in the New York assembly elections of December 1784 to have passed a set of punitive laws against Loyalists. In violation of the Treaty of Paris (1783) they called for the confiscation of the property of Loyalists.[16] Alexander Hamilton defended the Loyalists citing the supremecy of the treaty.
In 1767, the Sons of Liberty adopted a flag called the rebellious stripes flag with nine uneven vertical stripes (five red and four white). It is supposed that nine represented the Loyal Nine. A flag having 13 horizontal red and black stripes, used by American merchant ships during the war, was also associated with the Sons of Liberty. While red and white were common colors of the flags, other color combinations, such as green and white, in addition to yellow and white, were used.[17][18]

Later societies[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2012)
At various times and places in later American history, there were groups and societies either claiming to be a continuation of the historic Sons of Liberty or taking up the name in the service of very divergent causes and issues.
Improved Order of Red Men[edit]
The Improved Order of Red Men, a patriotic fraternal secret society, claims to actually be the Sons of Liberty, having adopted the Native American motif after the Boston Tea Party.
Civil War era[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
The name was also used during the American Civil War.[22] Early in 1865, the Copperhead organization, the Knights of the Golden Circle, was reorganized as the Order of the Sons of Liberty. Like their namesakes, these Sons of Liberty spoke out and acted against what they saw as an injustice of thwarted rights. In this case, the injustice was being committed by the United States government by denying the rights of the Southern States to leave the Union. The Order of the Sons of Liberty, found mostly in the Northwestern states of the time—Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky—agreed with the idea that the Union was a voluntary establishment and held the view that any state wishing to leave and create its own form of government should be allowed to do so.
Unlike the pre-independence era Sons of Liberty, the Civil War era Order of the Sons of Liberty was a highly doctrinal, hierarchical organization. The original Sons of Liberty were united simply in their desire to change the political attitude of the British government, but they often differed on the methods that were supposed to be used and on the specifics of the end result. The Order of the Sons of Liberty required members to swear an oath of allegiance to its cause, and it had a strict list of purposes that were supposed to be followed on pain of punishment. Whereas, the eighteenth century Sons of Liberty tried to avoid large scale military conflicts, the nineteenth century organization planned for them, collecting and distributing guns and ammunition to its members. The Order of the Sons of Liberty opposed the Union draft and planned to fight with Southern troops.
Furthermore, after the Revolutionary War, the original Sons of Liberty were looked upon as patriots and as great leaders of the new country. After the Civil War, the new Order of the Sons of Liberty faced charges of treason.
Anti-British in the 1940s[edit]
In the late 1940s, the name "Sons of Liberty" was taken up by an anti-British group active in the US and calling for the boycott of British films and products. At the time, the group's activities were described as in a news item entitled "UK bitter at US picketing of films" published in "The Argus" at Melbourne, Australia.
"A bunch of outlaws" was the term applied by Mr. William Heineman, vice-president of Eagle-Lion, to the American "Sons of Liberty" who are picketing cinemas that show British films in the US. Eagle-Lion are the distributors for J. Arthur Rank productions. Heineman added that some exhibitors, especially those who were Jewish, were influenced by the "unlawful pressure" of the Sons of Liberty.
Sir Alexander Korda, the British producer, has decided to send no more films to America until the picketing of American cinemas by the Sons of Liberty stops. The league is an anti-British body formed by Professor John Amertenko, who was not allowed to stay in Britain.
Sir Alexander said: "The Sons of Liberty have not stopped British cloth and Scotch whiskey from being sold, but films are taken off immediately.
It was reported that picketed films are An Ideal Husband, Anna Karenina, and Mine Own Executioner.Korda added: "It would appear that some American interests might use the boycott as retaliation for the British Government's quota, limiting American films in Britain to 55 in every 100." [23]
Jewish exhibitors being receptive to the group's pressure might be due to bitterness over the confrontation taking place at the time between British authorities in Mandatory Palestine and the Zionist Jewish organizations there, to whom many American Jews were sympathetic.
Modern references[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2011)
The patriotic spirit of the Sons of Liberty has been immortalized in modern times by Walt Disney Pictures through their film adaptation of Esther Forbes's novel Johnny Tremain. Within the movie the Sons of Liberty sing a rousing song titled "The Liberty Tree". This song raises the Liberty Tree to a national icon in a manner similar to the way George M. Cohan's "You're a Grand Old Flag" revitalized adoration for the American flag in the early twentieth century.
The Sons of Liberty are also referenced in the 2001 video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It references them in the title, while a group within the game calls itself, and models itself after, the Sons of Liberty.

UPDATE: Stephens Insurance Buys Hoffman-Henry
by Gwen Moritz
Posted 3/14/2012 10:36 am
Updated 3 years ago
Stephens Insurance Inc. of Little Rock has purchased Hoffman-Henry Insurance, also of Little Rock, in a deal that takes effect on Thursday, executives of both companies confirmed Wednesday morning.
The insurance agency subsidiary of Stephens Inc. bought the Hoffman-Henry corporate entity and will continue using the Hoffman-Henry name, Stephens Insurance CEO Marty Rhodes told ArkansasBusiness.com.
Rhodes would not reveal how much Stephens paid for Hoffman-Henry. Ron W. Adams, president of Hoffman-Henry, said Stephens had approached his company about the deal.
Approximately 15 of Hoffman-Henry's 22 employees will make the move to new ownership, Rhodes said, including Adams, EVP Richard W. Henry and Adams' brother, Wes Adams, who works in the Fayetteville office.
Some Hoffman-Henry agents - Rhodes referred to them as "producers" - will be moving to other agencies as part of the transition.
Hoffman-Henry also has offices in Pine Bluff, Searcy and Fort Smith, but Rhodes said Stephens would probably not keep all five offices open.
The acquisition is the second of the year for Stephens Insurance, which bought the book of business of Grace Group of Little Rock in January.
Stephens was the second-largest insurance agency in the state on Arkansas Business' most recent list, which was ranked by premium written in 2010. Hoffman-Henry, established in its current form in 1983, was No. 9. Combining their 2010 premium, $357.4 million and $36.8 million respectively, and the undisclosed premium of the Grace Group puts Stephens Insurance in position to threaten top-ranked Regions Insurance Inc., which wrote $404.1 million through its Arkansas group offices in 2010
Rhodes said Stephens Insurance has also enjoyed strong internal growth, and he said its annual premium will now be "well over $400 million."

Vacuum Filters
Did you know that filters that are clogged may severely impact your vacuum cleaner's performance? They help maintain strong suction and also help pick up dirt effectively. It is important to replace your filter every six to 12 months depending on the brand and you cleaning frequency. The various types of filters include exhaust filters, air inlet filters, motor filters and HEPA filters. You need to follow the recommendations for filter replacement based on the cleaning system brand. HEPA filters are the best option for allergy sufferers because they are designed to remove fine particles from the air including mold spores, smoke, dust and mites.

We've heard this one before, the one where we hear Nissan is getting ready to expand its line-up of all-electric vehicles. We're all familiar with the Leaf and then there are the other Nissan-family EVs, the Infiniti luxury electric vehicle (which Infitini boss Johann De Nysschen recently re-confirmed to AutoblogGreen is coming, someday) and the NV200 utility van. But wait, there's more.
Automotive News spoke with Carla Bailo, senior vice president for research and development at Nissan Americas, and learned that a total of five Nissan EVs are in the works. No announcements were made as to which ones are on the drawing board – could it be a sports car like the Esflow? Or something like the Land Glider concept (pictured) – but that these future EVs will come bearing inductive charging (just like that Infiniti EV, we've heard). In other words, the previously only-for-luxury-buyers wireless technology could someday soon be seen on a mass market Nissan EV. When? No clue, since Bailo just said, "The other [EVs] will come in due time." We'll keep waiting, and probably hearing more rumors along these lines while we do.

Laurel Springs School, a private, K-12 preparatory school based in Ojai, CA, is bringing its distance learning program to South Korea. Through a partnership with C2 Education, Korean students can fully prepare for study at a college in the United States without emigrating or even traveling beyond a nearby learning center.
The partnership allows students to attend one of five C2 centers in South Korea, located in Bundang, Daegu, Ilsan, Jamsil, and Sangdong. Enrollees spend a standard school day engaged in college preparatory courses, in all core and elective subjects, via Laurel Springs' distance learning program.
The centers offer all the facilities and tools students need to augment the educational experience, including media classrooms, English-language audiobooks, ESL learning software and listening stations, and special computer games and activities geared to younger students.
In addition, the centers offer supplemental services in the after-school hours, such as educational support and intensive English-language study. Finally, Laurel Springs enrollees can attend field trips and will have the option to participate in the C2 study-abroad program in the United States.
Laurel Springs offers extensive college planning and preparation services, including academic planning, college counseling, and special courses built into the curriculum that focus on test preparation and college placement. Eighty-five percent of its graduates attend college.
"Laurel Springs is excited to be leading this blended approach to education for Korean students," said Marilyn Mosley Gordanier, founder and director of the school. "In Korea, this is the first time a distance learning curriculum will be delivered in a classroom environment with on-site teachers."

Miami Heat Preseason Report 2014 posted by Heat Fan
Miami Heat managed to reach the finals in the 2013-14 season but could not match the explosive play of San Antonio Spurs. For the fourth straight year, Miami has reached the finals, but keeping the focus mentally and physically to win the title seemed to be lacking. Secondly, the Spurs had a much better play, and even if Miami had done their best, they could not have beaten the Spurs. LeBron James played excellently, but he seemed to be falling short on the defense compared to his earlier games. Chris Bosh had to make up for the defense shortfall, and bigger role given to Greg Oden did not play out.
For 2014-2015 season, Miami Heat had a good chance to win the title, but now since they have lost LeBron James, their chances have gone down drastically. The team had to overpay Chris Bosh to keep at least two of their star players in the team. Pat Riley seems to have made all the right moves for the team to have a good chance for a top four playoff in the Eastern division. If Bosh remains healthy and Dwayne Wade keeps to his former performance, the team could pose a good challenge to the Cavaliers and LeBron.
Luol Deng who is an excellent starter has replaced James, and veteran Danny Granger seems to have been bought in for a reason. Miami Heat has also managed to acquire Josh McRoberts from Charlotte, and in the draft, the team managed to snag Shabazz Napier to improve point guard. Other acquisitions at reasonable amounts included Udonis Haslem, Dwayne Wade, and Mario Chalmers. Wade now seems to be the key player in the team, who could make a difference. If he remains healthy and displays good leadership skills, Miami Heat could again have a chance at the finals.Continue reading "Miami Heat Preseason Report 2014"

Planning The Perfect Waterpark
Rather than traditional flat-water rectangular pools, stimulating waterparks are becoming the norm for today's recreational aquatic experience. Once the decision has been made to build a mini, medium, or destination waterpark, several key items should be considered before starting construction. What is your budget? What do you want to include in the waterpark? How much land do you need? What will it cost to operate? Will it make money?
Defining Success
For private developers, the definition of success is simple—to make money! For municipal waterparks, however, the definition of success can be different:
- Earn revenues that cover costs and any future expansions.
- Earn revenues that help pay for other subsidized facilities within the park system.
- Reduce the subsidy of the existing obsolete pool. It doesn't have to make money as long as it's losing less money.
All of these are appropriate definitions of success, but each one affects the outcome of waterpark design. Determining a definition of success will help make sure the goals are in line with realities.
Studying The Opportunities
For those who don't have the market draw in a particular location, building a waterpark too large will increase expenses, but not revenues. Building it too small may not provide the amenities to attract a large segment of the population. Paying for a feasibility study at this early stage may be the best money spent in helping to define the market while determining realistic outcomes.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is underestimating the cost of operating a waterpark. Labor alone can be 50 to 60 percent of the operating budget. With all of the turns and blind spots in a waterpark, the lifeguard requirement is significantly higher than at a
traditional-style pool. Also, there's not just one recirculation pump running now. There may be a dozen or more pumps running aquatic activities and features, which demand a lot of energy. And don't forget all of those patrons who bring dirt, organic matter, bacteria, hair, makeup, suntan/body oils, and other debris into the pools, which significantly increase chemical demand.
The other mistake is being too excited about all of the money to be made. A facility may hit capacity every Saturday, but during the work week, attendance drops off, not to mention weather factors that may cause closings and school calendars that recess for the summer in mid-June, while others start back in mid-August.
The Proper Blend
After establishing some parameters for a project, it's time to consider the design and layout, at least conceptually. Having the proper amenity mix will impact the feel of a waterpark and its viability within the market. In general, a waterpark needs three aquatic elements:
- A capacity holder
- A children's area
- Rides.

Gregory is a city in Gregory County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 1,295 at the 2010 census.
As the United States was racing into the 20th century, Gregory County was part of the "Last Frontier" opened to settlers. The Arikara Indians had long since vanished. The Sioux, who roamed the area since the mid-19th century, had been relegated to the Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Cheyenne, Standing Rock and Lower Brule reservations, and an ambitious congressman had persuaded President Theodore Roosevelt to open the territory for settlement.[citation needed]
The presidential proclamation was made public on May 15, 1904 which opened western Gregory County for settlement. Registration was held throughout the month of July, and on the 28th of that month, 2600 lucky land seekers received their 160-acre (0.65 km2) tracts.
August 8, 1904, Gregory was formally opened to the public as a government town-site. By June 23, 1905, Gregory was boasting 250 buildings and 500 inhabitants that filled an area which consisted of four surveyor's holes and a stake just the August before. Some of the larger businesses included two banks, two hardware stores, a meat market, two lumber companies, three hotels, a restaurant, a grocery, a furniture store, a pool hall, a photographer's studio, a drug store, two newspapers, three livery barns and three blacksmith and machine shops. The community also now had a public school with 56 pupils, a U.S. Land Commissioner, and the Interstate Telephone Company was building an exchange.
By 1906, land that had sold the previous year for $500 to $800 per quarter was selling for $2500 to $3500 per quarter. The year 1906 also brought news that the railroad had contracted for the first stretch of track from Bonesteel to Gregory.
In 1907, Gregory citizens voted to construct a $12,000 water works, and investors agreed to install electric lights. Local businessmen constructed a City Hall, and an Opera House Company organized for the purpose of constructing an opera house and town hall.
By the end of 1908, the great registration for the Tripp County lands was on, and fifteen regular trains arrived in Gregory daily, packed with passengers.
From these beginnings, Gregory continued to grow and prosper, making its mark as a service center for the farmers and ranchers in the area. The hospitality and service-oriented people of the community continued to cater to the residents of the area. Honest, hard-working people continue to make up the core of the area's population, making Gregory today a tremendous place to live and grow.

Mobile number: 07766890826 West Midlands CV34 5QW
Beloved Shiva-Shakti,Welcome to PeaceQuiet Tantra Massage Midlands your little 'piece of absolute Peace & Quiet' in WEST MIDLANDS. PeaceQuiet Tantra Temple offer an environment of honour and respect not only for you and our practitioners but above all for Tantra and Tantra Massage skill and methodology. It is important that our unique approach to the human body, its senses, and its orgasmic sensual erotic expressions should not be misconstrued or taken as an invitation for mundane, immoral, or ordinary attitudes and behaviour.
To PeaceQuiet Tantra massage and Erotic massage are mere tools of Meditation and Self Enquiry. The Meditation arises with massage itself. The fact that the massage offers the receiver's body the opportunity to express its own sensual orgasmic pleasure, joy, happiness, does not mean that we the givers of the massage are in some way responsible or the givers of such pleasures. We massage unconditionally and totally aimless, is up to the receiver's body to respond with freedom honour and respect.
Is entirely up to each individual body cell to respond to the touch according to the body's own reality, its ability to respond to freedom. As this is not a matter for the mind, all habits and attitudes can easily be transcended providing the receiver chooses to favour surrender, effortless pleasure, and spontaneous joy above all projections and graspingness.
Our massages are organised and follow a methodology, as such we are not concerned with forcing anyone's body to respond or preventing anyone's body from respond to one thing or another in one way or the other. Our concern as Tantra Practitioners is to welcome and to allow spontaneous flow of senses feelings emotions in a safe environment of no judgement, no expectations as well as a honouring attitude to self, the space and above all the giver of the massage.
Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage are Pure moment of joy. Developed by Zen monk Andro Rothe, Berlin 1975, Tantra Massage is also known as "the Healing Touch". To PeaceQuiet "healing" means 'one's own power and ability to surrender to effortlessness'. This direct discovery is the whole purpose of our massage session. Effectively we use the body and all its senses, organs, as the tool for transcend. Through innate natural sensual orgasmic pleasure both the gross body and the gross mind lose their rigidity and the space and opportunity to sense simplicity of our very existence arises. When we sense Simplicity and Effortlessness most of what seems to agitate and cause conflict will lose its power to influence, to trouble and to cause anxiety.
Tantra massage and Tantra Erotic massage are made up by different elements; Lingham Massage, Yoni Massage, Mouth Massage, Anus Massage, Feeding ritual, Washing ritual, Energetic Touch make up either Tantra Massage or Tantra Erotic Massage. Tantra Erotic Massage does massage the Primary Erogenous Zones, being the mouth, anus, penis, vagina, where as Tantra Massage doesn't. Even though The elements of Tantra Erotic Massages are massages in their own right, these elements must be combined according to the tantra massage methodology and skill. For example a Mouth Massage or Lingham massage will not be given as isolated massages. These are mere elements.
The benefits of Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage:
If any, benefits should be seen as bi products not the "aim" of Tantra Massage or Tantra Erotic Massage.
Most people regard Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage as a nice way to help them relax, and have a respite from the stresses of every day life. Many hope to end erectile dysfunctions. Others look to in hope of becoming better lovers, reach long lasting orgasms and learn how to have prolonged erection. In a way they hope to substitute Viagra with Tantra Massage and Erotic Massage, which are all ideas promoted by Western tantric businesses. A good number of people hope to use Tantra Massage and Erotic Massage as a substitute for the missing sexual partner, a way of readdressing the sexless marriages and sexless lives . This is exactly how most people perceive Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage and within this mundane realm the benefits are endless.
Following Tantra, The TAO, ZEN, Advaita, Buddhism, our Tantra Massage, and Tantra Erotic Massage are opportunities for profound understand of our bodies feelings and emotions. One unique and direct purpose: SELF. We look for a whole new consciousness can arise and within that a whole new fresh approach life, work, home, neighbourhood, society and above all Self is arises within that.
The massage points to a reality which is beyond the gross body; one which is not attached to believes, cultural, intellectual choices, any religion, any socially learned attitudes, fashion or conceptual values and, it does so in an extremely enjoyable sensuous orgasmic erotic set up. We hope to demonstrate that the very things we seek which are pleasure, peace, happiness, joy are already what we are and we need not go far or look far it not even one inch away from self or outside self.
Following Tantra principles, Tantra Massage & Tantra Erotic Massage can, and for the majority will lead to a state of meditation. This is a good starting point for those who otherwise would never had the opportunity to meditate or the opportunity to known that they too can meditate, unload, let go and surrender to silence peace tranquillity. PeaceQuiet say that the benefits of tantra massage and Tantra Erotic Massage is Surrender to a high state of consciousness awareness, but most people have already made their mind up about it. We ask people give our massages the space and the understanding the massages deserve, because this is the only way people will truly know Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massages and will come to realise that Tantra Massages are not embroidered sex.
Whose fault is it for getting it so wrong?
. . . how to can one help Tantra massage the credit it deserves?
When comes to Tantra particularly Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage the question of credit and credibility is an individual matter. This is a direct and unique encounter and must continue in this way. If we tray to regulate 'meaning' and 'interpretations' we will run the risk of turning the massage into a religion or one more form of oppression and conditioning. Tantra is a tool not a doctrine, the massages are also tools which are made available for those who seek to enrich their understand and their relationship to life.
Those who seek the truth will find it! The credit is not so much on the massages, and is much less on the practitioners. Openness with self is precisely what the massage is doing on an individual level.
There is genuine confusion about Tantra and the massages which are the result of poor teaching, and the many levels of misinterpretation attributed to the massages and to tantra- some innocent other deliberately done. The belief that Tantra is a massage, Tantra is a better form of sex, a technique that will help solve all forms of relationships and sexual dysfunctions, is precisely that: a belief.
Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage skill and methodology can be learned through a workshop and formal training. With some work effort and dedication people can easily master the "healing Touch". Tantra on the other hand is complex, because one must be it by being it, not by tuition and training. Tantra massages are from Berlin where as Tantra is from India and Tibet. Tantra has two known Lineages each branching out to over 400 other lineages, many of which with sub local traditions and sub traditions.
In total Tantra was and still is a thousand years old methodology of life, the pointer to the essence of our own individual TRUTH. The question is what truth and whose truth. In Tantra we have lineages that verge from sexual practices, human and animal sacrifice, robbing the healthy and the physically perfect in sacrifice of goddess Kali, necrophilia, all of which lay claim and inspiration from "Tantra".
Is up to each individual to decide what is darn stupid. I have decided that sex will not bring me or those who visit this temple to the truth or to enlightenment because sex is the highest dualistic state of mind. In the presence of duality there is no liberation. Sex and Enlightenment / Truth/ are like crude oil and water they do not mix. Nothing wrong with oil or water, each are valid and have their own place and space. Our duty is to recognise our need and ensure we honour each individual place and space.
Tantra is not against sex but to call it Sacred Tantra does mount to what Sadguru calls "Heresy". The West doesn't seen to differentiate between procreation and sex hence the difficulty. PeaceQuiet leaves procreation to universal order, it has its own timing its own place and space one which is natural spontaneous aspects of our body chemistry. Unlike procreation sex is mind centred, a socially establish behaviour and attitude as such sex as Osho says, its ugly.
In the West sex has served to control and to limit people. It has developed into a powerful currency one which oils power, crime, morals, politics. Sex can buy someone the title of sex symbol (David Beckham), and also have someone impeach (Bill Clinton) and even serve to ruin someone else's carrier (Eliot Spitzer).
As a word sex ans its sisters words orgasm, erection, penis, vagina, are perfectly acceptable when written all over NHS websites because its aimed at healing, but when written on a tantra website the very same words become offensive, promiscuous, as it aims at joy and pleasure. The lack of consistency is a clear indication that sex is mind. Mind is never stable it can't therefore deliver stability. Takes maturity to overcome this self destructive childishness.
Tantras understand that whether cultural or natural sex does exist. It is a fact of life therefore there is nothing to add or remove from this fact. Tantras are not against procreation neither are they against sex. We simple know that like procreation sexual activity has its place and Tantra, is not the place for sexual activity.
We know that being limited sex cannot dominate every aspect of our human existence. Tantra points to the recognition of our innate Pure Mind.
This is a contradiction
why touching the body, if it has to be transcended?
Why look at our thoughts if we aim at no thought. Why watch the mind when we aim at no mind? As Osho said Unless we know the nature of what is that we must transcended how can we possibly achieve that? For us traditional Tantra Massage practitioners the human body is naturally orgasmic, naturally sensual and naturally erotic, we do not see sex anywhere. Orgasmic, sensual, erotic are mere a-sexual vital forces, but the westernise mind doesn't see it in this way.
If we look around nature we will recognise these vital forces and aspect occurring through every living form. But the West sees these forces as being exclusive to humans and animal. To assert our human superiority these forces became sex something we God fearing humans should resist and frown upon. These guilt, fear and shame still dominating out thinking and attitudes to sex even though sex is everywhere.
The reason is simple, the West has not yet matured to decide what it wants with sex. The problem is not sex, sex its everywhere. With sexual oppression comes the necessary conditioning the dominance of one group one person over the other.
It is therefore up to each individual to seek its own maturity. Know your body as pure energetic expression and realise that sex is a political tool - one which has trapped our senses our innate cell intelligence whilst arising in us a need that is not genuine of us. Through social cultural religious convention we have limited our [possibilities as pure a- sexual tissue (water and food transformed in tissue) that we truly are we, in return of a narrowed and conditioned existence.
As Sadguru marked, "when we make the limited unlimited we suffer!". For PeaceQuiet this means when we limit the body, (our vehicle of sensing the Supreme the Life we truly are) into minor aspects of our human condition, such as eating, sex, work, sleep, have children, get married, be male, be female, white, black, poor or millionaire, king or commoner, guru, religion...
We have created suffering because we have swapped our mightiness ( the unfolding presence awareness, the unfolding emptiness we are), with a life busy with keeping up appearances, busy with trying to give form to the formless, busy giving permanence to what is clearly transient. This is a direct and individual realisation which must be experienced and cannot be taught. Our tantra massage and erotic massage can and will return the body to the awareness of no-body - no-mind. Mindlessness which is Pure Unfolding Presence Awareness. PEACE.
What is the rate of success amongst genuine seekers...
. . . would I ever get it with a tantra massage?
The success is in the degree by which one can fully surrender to the unfolding moment and by the depth by which one welcomes presence awareness as the ever lasting unfolding Self. There is nothing to be gotten. Self is a direct realisation. Tantra Massage and Tantra Erotic Massage presents you with the Direct Recognition of Here Now in the same way Meditation is to present you with.
Notice that a fully trained Tantra Massage Practitioner is required for a genuine tantra massage. For Direct Self Enquiry, A tantra massage practitioner who has come to Direct Recognition of Self is required. Understand that there is a massage called tantra massage, and a massage called Tantra Erotic Massage. They are both made in Germany, by Zen monk (German) Andro Rothe, Berlin 1975.
BUT Tantra is from India and Tibet. Direct Self Understanding, is shared by both the massage and Tantra, hence the name of the massage. Tantra does not need a massage and is not a massage. But tantra massage without its tantra framework of Self Understanding and Self Rediscovery becomes a massage like any other mundane massage! By mundane PeaceQuiet means a massage preoccupied with limited and transient aspects of our existence, meaning feelings, senses, emotions, relaxation and so on.
As a tool for self rediscovery Tantra Massage Diamond Lotus Method is a bless to the West. The massage deals directly with our Western Imagination and with our direct concerns: need, fears, limitations, lack of boundaries. Without judgement, expectations, fear, criticism, the massage uses the body to transcend the body in an welcoming and respectful manner that recognises the way by which we have conditioned our senses and narrowed our understanding into one single pointed reality "sex".
The recognition of our authentic reality requires space for that recognition take place. In a tantra massage and erotic massage this space arises as the backdrop of the celebration of states of feelings senses and emotions. These states come and go but the awareness through which these states take form remain formless, timeless and still unaffected by anything or anyone: Peace!
The authentic genuine Self is Master of this entire universe, yet we live half of our life in fear of most basic aspects of our human body, the other half we live trying to legitimise these fears which are all based on fabricated morality. How long does it take anyone to recognise the possibility that our real morality is the duty to know Self? To know a Self, which is prior to culture, concepts, values, conditioning, language, thought. All of this does depend on how much one hates the mask we all live our lives under, and how tired one is of living in this narrow version of our human existence.
PeaceQuiet practitioners are all trained in Tantra Massage. Shakti Verah will also point you to the clarity of mind, leaving you to then decide if Clarity is for you and whether an a-sexual body is to rank lower or higher in authenticity, joy, freedom to the sexual body. Whether your authenticity is limited to the indoctrination the believes we have received through our up bringing and through almost every aspect of our day to day lives. Try genuine tantra way with PeaceQuiet!

It's always frustrating to hear about a good contest a week before the deadline, leading to a crammed submission or missed opportunity, so we're gonna pass this one along nice and early. It's Freefall magazine's 2011 annual prose and poetry contest. The deadline is December 31, 2011. This leaves five months to prepare and polish 4000 words of prose or 5 poems.
Click here for full details and the contest entry form.
Not familiar with FreeFall? Here's what the Calgary magazine of "exquisite writing" is all about:
Freefall was founded in 1990 and published by the Alexandra Writers' Centre Society until 2008.
FreeFall is a literary magazine that is published twice a year in print. We publish poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, visual arts (artwork and photography in high contrast black and white format), literary reviews, author interviews, author focus.
Mission Statement Is to encourage the voices of new, emerging, and experienced Canadian writers and provide a platform for their quality work. Although we accept work from all over the world we maintain a commitment to 85% Canadian content.
The current issue showcases the 2010 contest winners, so make sure you check it out, to get a feel for the content, before deciding what you want to submit. The library holds issues of Freefall from all the way back to its first volume, 21 years ago, in the Local History room on the 4th floor of the Central library.
The 2011 guest editor/contest judge is Stephanie Bolster. Stephanie won the Governor General's Award and the Gerald Lampert Award in 1998 as well as the Archibald Lampman Award in 2000. She has taught creative writing at Concordia University since 2000. Check out some of her work in the library catalogue:
The People's Poetry Festival is a 3-day event (August 19 – 21) that will showcase local artists and help you become a poet too. Much of the detail hasn't been revealed yet, but here is what we do know:
The festival will be made up of "Poetry Walks" (strolls down some of Kensington's narrowest alleyways to check out the verses spread out on the walls), "DIY Verse" (spur-of-the-moment street composition sessions and public slam stations), and "Beer Hall", which I imagine will involve some combination of poetics and drinking.
We also know and are delighted that the library gets to join in the fun by hosting a one-hour whirlwind introduction to poetry. The details:
Join volunteers from the People's Poetry Festival for a rapid-fire look at what poetry is, how it's written, why people write it, and how it's evolved over time, from Shakespeare's sonnets to Tupac's lyrics. Put your newfound skills to the test and write your own poem!
Saturday, Aug 20
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
4th floor North - Writer's Nook

The People's Poetry Festival wants to know if you can write a Stampede-themed haiku. Here's mine:
predictable stink
a thunder-shower for sure
will wash it away
To enter your own haiku in the contest, check out the entry instructions at 'The People's Poetry Festival' homepage. http://peoplespoetryfestival.com/category/pplspoetrycontest/
If you're looking for an alternative to Stampede-themed entertainment this week, look no further than two distinct tributes to the life and work of Robert Kroetsch, both of which are sure to provide emotionally charged performances from some of Calgary's best writers.
The first of these events: "A Celebration of Life: ROBERT KROETSCH", takes place Tuesday, July 12 at Shelf Life Books at 7pm and is being put on by the Writer's Guild of Alberta, inviting you to gather, share stories, pay tribute, find solace, raise your glasses, and hear readings from his latest work, Too Bad.
"This tragedy has been a great shock to all of us at the WGA and a tremendous loss to everyone whose lives he has touched. A memorial was held in Leduc on Monday, June 27th, but many writers and friends, particularly in Southern Alberta, were not able to attend. In light of this, we would like to invite you to celebrate Robert's life with short readings from Too Bad (or tell a story) on Tuesday July 12, 2011"
Click here to read full details on the event.
The second tribute event, also starting a 7pm, goes two nights later on Thursday, July 14, at Pages Books on Kensington. This special issue of the local Flywheel Reading Series will feature readings and an open mic, "letting everyone share either work by Robert, for Robert, or otherwise related as a tribute and celebration of the memory of this wonderful man and important Canadian writer who has touched so many."
For more details go to filling Station's website.
Of course the best way to celebrate Robert Kroetsch and keep his memory alive is to study and enjoy his masterful work. There is so much to choose from. Click to link to a full list of catalogue results for "Kroetsch, Robert".
In an age of government cutbacks, in a province that isn't well known for supporting the arts, it isn't easy for small volunteer-run literary presses to keep the issues coming. Luckily, the hard-working volunteer crew at filling Station have persevered through stingy times, producing increasingly beautiful issues every year.
However, it's been difficult to keep up with their wonderful work, or find clear directions for submission over the course of the past year after a website meltdown. I'm a bit late on the uptake here – looks like the new website has been up and running since April, but I've just come across it now and am delighted to have all my filling Station needs in one place. Take a look! -
This is a great place to submit your work. And always a great read featuring fiction, poetry, non-fiction, reviews and local artists. filling Station is also quite active in the community, so you'll always find current event listings and news on Calgary's literary scene, including the magazine's own monthly "Flywheel" reading series

hearings. I also inserted parts of that report directly into the legislation that I drafted for Senator Gore. Luckily, plagiarism is legal on the Hill! After that first hearing, several people were astonished at Senator Gore's grasp of both the technology and the issues. This was due in part to the fact that he had read the report, which was released on the same day.
Since that time, I have worked with the Board on a number of critical issues. CSTB has helped us design the high-performance computing legislation and keep the High Performance Computing and Communications Initiative on track. It has helped us deal with issues such as computer security. The Board has helped us evolve the ARPANET into the NSFnet, into the National Research and Education Network, into the Internet, into the Net, into the national information infrastructure, into the global information infrastructure, and into whatever it is we are now creating.
Today, we are going to look at how the Board has influenced policy and how it has worked effectively on the interface between science and engineering and policy making. Being one of the denizens of the interface, I know it is a pretty turbulent, unpredictable place to work. I know that this Board has been very effective in informing and enlightening those of us who have tried to help the policy-making process along. Today we have an excellent panel, and I should say that I am impressed with the quality of the entire symposium program.
This panel is going to take a Dickensian approach to its presentation by looking at CSTB's past, present, and future. The "spirit of CSTB past" will be provided by David Nelson (no relation), who has been working in this area even longer than I have and has been one of CSTB's primary customers. The "spirit of CSTB present" will be provided by Paul Young, who will talk about what is going on now and some of the ways in which the Board is influencing policy making. The "spirit of CSTB future" will be represented by Howard Frank, since the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is always 10 years ahead of the rest of us. He will discuss what might be ahead for the Board. We are going to keep these remarks very short, about five minutes each, so that we can have a full discussion. All of the panelists can talk about the past, present, and future, and they will do so in the question-and-answer period. Our goal is to provide a chronological look at where the Board has been, where it is now, and what directions it might take in the future.
I will cover CSTB past. This does feel a little bit like a role in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. As I was preparing this, I thought, "I am putting myself in the role of a peer reviewer." This reminded me of a story that I think most of you know, but it is so good that I will repeat it. This is the classic peer reviewer's report. It reads as follows: "This paper is novel, interesting, and correct. Unfortunately, the part that is novel is not interesting. The part that is interesting is not correct. The part that is correct is not novel." Fortunately, I do not make that judgment when it comes to the work of CSTB.
Before I review some of the Board's efforts from a government standpoint, let me remind you what the federal scene was like in 1986-1987. The Lax report1 had been out for only a few years, and the various agencies were struggling to implement its recommendations. I viewed that as an attempt to cure the VAX disease. What I mean is that every chemistry department could afford a VAX computer; so the standard of excellence in chemistry computation was one VAX unit.
Next, DARPA had just begun its strategic computing initiative. Robert Kahn smiles from the audience—he remembers that one well. The National Science Foundation (NSF) was dealing with the question of establishing supercomputer centers, particularly how to link them together in something that would be called NSFnet. To remind you how history is out of our control, remember the study that said that the NSFnet should run Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols as soon as practical. Think back. There is a lot of water under the bridge on that one.
Report of the Panel on Large Scale Computing in Science and Engineering . Peter Lax. chairman, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, D.C., December 26, 1992.

A Playground For All
Indiana's first boundless playground opened in Fort Wayne recently, and everything from the play equipment to the ground itself has been designed to allow children both with disabilities and without to play together in an inclusive setting.
The playground, called "Taylor's Dream," began as an idea from a little girl named Taylor Reuille.
When 11-year-old Taylor realized that there were many kids with disabilities who couldn't play at playgrounds in her community, she and her mother, Casey Booher, researched and found that a
boundless playground could offer play opportunities for all children, including those with physical, sensory, developmental and cognitive disabilities.
"We've got to do this, Mom," Casey Booher recalls her daughter saying. "We have to."
After years of fund-raising and hard work, the playground is now a reality, and features an accessible surface called Playground Grass.
Playground Grass by ForeverLawn is an artificial grass surfacing system designed for beauty, safety and accessibility in playground environments. The system offers a soft, grass-like surface, combined with a padded sub-surface that provides an ASTM safety rating to fall heights of 12 feet.
The texture and appearance of the grass contributes to the tactile and visual sensory perception of the children, and the even, stable surface provided by Playground Grass is ADA accessible, allowing wheelchairs, braces and other assistive equipment to access the facility easily and safely.
When used to connect barrier-free play elements like those found at Taylor's Dream, Playground Grass contributes to a truly boundless play experience.
Fifty-year-old Sherry Woodman had the opportunity to play on a playground for the first time in her life at the grand opening of Taylor's Dream.
"I'm a disabled parent, and I couldn't come when they were little and play with them anywhere on a playground because I couldn't get through with the mulch. You know, mulch is really hard for wheelchair tires and stuff," Woodman said.
"And so not only are kids going to be able to come here and play that have disabilities, but parents with disabilities are going to be able to come here and feel like normal parents and be able to just enjoy their kids," she said. "I didn't leave here till I'd been on every part of the playground; I wanted to do it all."
The playground took four years to build. Taylor and her family personally raised $10,000 through community and school fund-raising, and the city of Fort Wayne provided $250,000 toward the playground fund.
But when Taylor discovered that the playground would cost over a million dollars to build, she "thought it would be virtually impossible," she said.
However, with the help of the community, the city and donations from other sources, they were able to raise the money. A large part of the funds to build the park came from a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Challenge, a competition that the park won thanks to a huge effort by Taylor's family and the community of Fort Wayne.

Detroit Raw by Sam Riddle
Mandela and Douglass
By Sam Riddle
Special to the Michigan Citizen
Nelson Mandela understood and was imprisoned for living in a manner consistent with that of which Frederick Douglass spoke in 1857:
"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation … want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters… Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."
As worldwide media and international handkerchief-heads seek to revise history, we would do well to understand Nelson Mandela was not a teddy bear. Nelson Mandela was a lion. The arrogance of the revisionist is astounding; you can't sanitize revolution and wrap Mandela as if Mandela were a doting teddy bear. We won't allow that. Don't get it twisted. Nelson Mandela got a hero's welcome upon his prison release because Mandela had been a no-compromise revolutionary.
You that criticized a Martin Luther King Jr. when he was alive would not have endured a nanosecond in the same room with a young Nelson Mandela. Mandela — the leader of a nation — wore different attributes than Mandela the revolutionary who had to vanquish the enemy to create the nation. Reconciliation was a necessary tool to ensure the stability of the new nation. Forgiving is much easier for a freed conqueror than a revolutionary in the heat of battle. Yep.
Mandela and Douglass were freedom fighters. A freedom fighter can be an activist but not all activists are freedom fighters. Detroit in 2013 teems with activists but is short a few freedom fighters in our struggle to restore democracy to Detroit.
Mandela in death is criticized by some for being a communist. Douglass like Mandela grappled with the profit motive as a barrier to humane treatment when he noted that in America the great question always seems to be "will it pay?" Quoting from Revelation 14:6, Douglass was clear: "…if such a people as ours had heard the beloved disciple of the Lord, exclaiming in the rapture of the apocalyptic vision, 'And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people;' they, instead of answering, Amen Glory to God in the Highest, would have responded, — but brother John, will it pay? Can money be made out of it? Will it make the rich richer, and the strong stronger? How will it effect property? In the eyes of such people, there is no God but wealth; no right and wrong but profit and loss… (Our) national morality and religion have reached a depth of baseness than which there is no lower deep."
Ever notice how discussions center on "things" instead of flesh and blood people? How many Detroit children are eating and learning better since democracy was destroyed in Detroit with emergency managers? Does anyone feel safer since the EM took over? History one day will note Detroit was the city where dollars trumped democracy as debt was used as a poll tax club to disenfranchise Black Americans en masse.
The Michigan legislature controlled by Republican Governor Nerd's friends turned down $21,000,000 to inform us about healthcare so Republicans could attack Obamacare instead. Then Democrats tell us how cheap healthcare is for a Detroit family of four making $50,000 a year; how many of those are there in the D?
Over 60 percent of Detroit's children live in poverty. Those children will not be found in Midtown or downtown. Why do you keep repeating this? You don't ask that of those who say things are getting better in Detroit. Better for whom? Why is the pain and suffering of children so damn invisible in Detroit? You'd rather argue more over protective low ball valuation of DIA paintings than utter a whisper about feeding and protecting hungry, love-starved children.
Meanwhile, two kids die poverty deaths in a fire as parents jack electricity for heat; yeah parental responsibility is a major issue, but so is parenting while broke. For long term safety bring jobs and good schools that help make citizens employable to compliment your safety raids that jail parents for outstanding warrants. No, it doesn't help that some human parents don't have the instincts of mama bear that is never far from her cubs. It's a mess all the way around.
We must never let haters cause us to lose hope or dislike ourselves and never let haters make you weak in your faith. Keep the faith. Stay on the battlefield.
