Listen up guys Im not really a big technology guy but we got a brand new HD TV today! YAYYYY for us it's a se39uy04 model, and… I must say its pretty darn good How good? well its absolutely beast of a tv to be honest, we used to have this old big-box type of tv which was fine…but now they have gotten so cheap that we couldnt resist in buying one, i know i know… How did I ended up buying it? well my best friend gave me this seiki tv review website and thats how i choose our tv But this TV is so awesome, YOU MUST GET THE SEIKI U-VISION CABLE FOR IT TO UPSCALE. blu-rays from red box get upscaled to 4k , my video games get upscaled to 1080p at 60hz. amazon prime tv is still 1080p going through my ps3. very little motion blur considering the price and the size and the upscaling. very bright, hue contrast are overly adjustable, i found that i had to turn the sharpness almost all the way down because it was such a sharp image. speakers are crap so you'll have to have a stereo. i connected it to my mac and it did not upscale, but the mac outputs in 1080p, now i need to get a ps4 and upgrade my games.
We're not talking about hearts doodled on a notebook or giant stuffed teddy bears. We're not even talking about a dozen red roses.
We're talking about real, unconditional love.
This kind of love doesn't have to be between a girl and a guy – this is also a kind of love found between parent and child. This kind of love makes the greatest friendships what they are.
I'll admit to you here and now that I don't have a clue what love in a relationship feels like; 99% of teenagers have no idea. However, I do know this form of love in friendship. It's a love that is unbreakable under any circumstances.
That was a lot at once. Bear with me here.
In youth group, we are watching a video series by John Piper, a Baptist minister from Minnesota. He lives by the prophecy that "God is most satisfied in me when I am most satisfied in Him," which I think is an awesome quote by which to live.
The look on Piper's face when he preaches shows the kind of love I'm talking about.
In one of the videos we watched, Piper talked about how our culture views "love."
In the world today, loving someone is very much the same thing as idolizing him or her; as making much of him or her.
We build each other up. We compliment each other. "Oh, you're so pretty. You're so talented. I love you, I love you, I love you."
Complimenting is fine and good, but if the feeling acquired when having received a compliment is the same as the feeling of being loved; Houston, we have a problem.
We get so caught up in making so much of ourselves that we make nothing of God. What we should do instead is to make so much of God that we cannot make anything of ourselves.
John Piper brings up true moments of wonder – moments that make us go "Wow."
Majestic waterfalls, canyons, mountains, oceans. All things God has created.
Love is dying for someone else's sins. Love is putting all of your faith in Him alone. Love is having strong hope in The Lord, even when it seems life couldn't be worse. Love is not making much of someone.
Hey, y'all.
This is my first post in over a week. A week!
This week has been so stressful. As per every other week of my life.
And I really am sorry for complaining.
I just sometimes feel like I have to pencil breathing into my schedule.
Then, when I have time to do such things as blog, I just want to sit and be still.
I've even considered not blogging any more because it kiiiind of stresses me out
with the whole only 10-or-so hours of daylight thing and me being busy most of that time;
BUUUUT I really do enjoy having this as an outlet, and my (few) readers are so supportive,
I just can't give it up.
That being said, however, you'll probably be hearing less from me.
More than once a week, but I just can't stress about the blog. Ain't nobody got time for that.
If I have recipes and pretty pictures, I'll show 'em to 'ya.
But anyway.
Have you ever had it?
Best thing of my life. At the moment. Because, you know, these things change.
No but srsly I've been browning butter like no one's business.
I mean, hey, if you're melting butter you might as well go ahead and brown it, right?
All you do is cut the butter into small pieces and melt it over medium-low heat for 5 or so minutes,
stirring occasionally, until the butter smells nutty and there are little brown bits at the bottom of the saucepan.
You can put it in place of regular 'ole melted butter in many recipes – sweet or savory.
I've been using it in broccoli, fish, sweet potatoes, and these cookies.
Nuttier, more flavorful butter. It's such a good thing.
Speaking of these cookies, you need them, too.
This recipe is based on my FAVORITE much-acclaimed cookie recipe,
and if that's not enough, I went and stuffed some chopped Snickers bars in there.
Even though Snickers don't really qualify as "real food,"
I was making these cookies for teenagers. And as much as I'd like them to,
teenagers don't care one bit about eating real food.
And sometimes, you just have to please the crowd.
And I think these things were pretty crowd-pleasing.
But don't ask me. I only ate seven.
Brown Butter Snickers Cookies
adapted from White Chocolate Pretzel Cookies
yields 30-40 cookies, depending on size
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (half a cup/one stick, plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 snickers bars, coarsely chopped
1. Brown the butter: cut 5 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and place in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Keeping a watchful eye and whisking every so often, brown the butter for 5-7 minutes, or until amber-colored bits appear at the bottom of the saucepan. It will smell nutty and de-lish.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Beat sugars and remaining 5 tablespoons room-temperature butter in another bowl. Once combined, beat in brown butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly fold the butter-sugar mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold in snickers.
3. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (24 is best!). Preheat the oven to 350. Roll dough into 1-2″ balls and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly browned. Cool slightly before serving.
Mmm. It's good to be back.

MSC - Tunis to Mallorca 28-29 October
Overnight we cruised from Tunis to Palma de Mallorca arriving about midday and after having lunch we took the shuttle bus to get us into the centre of town. We had considered walking as they were charging €25 for a return for two which we thought expensive for a 10 minute bus ride. However it is a captured market and it was a good walk. Maybe a taxi would be no more expensive. Maybe we will try that next time! The shuttle dropped us near the centre of Mallorca and ...

How does one make sense, after all, of an event where you can see Ashton Kutcher directly in the path of an onrushing Donald Rumsfeld? Where Michael Bloomberg regales you with an account of sitting in on the congas at a recent fundraising concert in a Puerto Rican restaurant—and tops that off with a reminiscence of his impromptu dance performance on a Dominican Republican tarmac? Could it be that, in the age of Obama the DC–Hollywood glitzeratti —described by Ann Curry, without a note of irony, in a fundraising appeal at the Tammy Haddad brunch that kicks off the weekend's frenetic networking, as "the most powerful people on the planet"—just aren't taking themselves all that seriously?

Several boulders, apparently loosened by recent rains, tumbled down Telegraph Hill near a condominium complex on Monday. One boulder smashed a parked car owned by a security guard for the complex, but no one was injured. Residents on the lower floors of the multistory complex at 240 Lombard St. were ordered out at 9:30 a.m. Inspections by officials determined the hillside was stable enough for residents of all units but one to return later on Monday.

Limited Winter Special tickets are available now at www.kanrocksas.com. $150 2-day ticket ($40 off), $25 camping ($25 off).This sale ends at midnight, Thursday, January 31, 2013.
To amplify the momentum created by the first year of the festival, organizers will continue to grow and expand the brand with big name acts, added amenities and trending technological features. KANROCKSAS introduced Midwest music lovers and fans from around the globe to a top-tier music festival experience spurred by headliners Eminem and Muse, along with national and local musicians representing virtually every genre. As the first major music event to take place at Kansas Speedway, festival organizers succeeded in creating a one-of-a-kind experience and fans can expect nothing less in 2013.
Kansas Speedway is located in the burgeoning Village West area of Kansas City. With its striking landscape including wide boulevards, beautiful green parks, fantastic architecture and world-class museums, Kansas City has repeatedly ranked as one of America's top travel destinations in Travel and Leisure magazine. Popular diversions include a vibrant local arts scene, several James Beard recognized restaurants, world-renowned barbecue and an ever-expanding microbrewery scene which includes the Boulevard Brewing Company, Missouri's largest independent brewery.

They couldn't find anything nearby that fit their needs, so they bought a bank-owned property on the next block and are replacing it with a new one to fit them and their three kids.
At an open house at their for-sale home last weekend, the turnout was overwhelming: more than 30 people toured. "Considering the low inventory in our neighborhood," Wesson said, "we hope to sell it fairly quickly."

(Dix Hills, N.Y.)-The winner of the Spring 2010 Girls U9 JSS Major Soccer Division is the Dix Hills Dynamite White, who finished with a perfect record of 8 wins and 0 losses. Great job girls, in going undefeated in the major division of JSS! This division included the best teams from Long Island for U9 soccer, and their undefeated season should be something to be proud of. The coaching staff from Dix Hills would like to take a minute and thank all the parents for the continued commitment to the players and to this team. Without the parent's constant help and support, we would not be where we are today.
Three years ago when this group finished its U6 spring season, coach Bob Rocco decided to make a change in how this age group would be run going forward. He started with some training during the summer, but changed to a new format in the Fall of the U7 season. The coach decided to get away from making set teams and having weekly games and focused on developing each player while stressing team unity and commitment. In a statement from Coach Bob, "I realize that change is never easy but because each of the parents bought into this new concept 100%, and we were able to work together and provide each player with the skills and techniques to be successful." What these girls, from Dix Hills, have been able to accomplish over the past two years is simply astonishing and all the players and parents should all be very proud. Not only have they gone undefeated this spring, this past winter they were the only soccer team from Long Island, playing in the indoor league at Coastal, not to give up a single goal. Not to mention, this was all done playing a year up, in the U10 division. Coach Bob states, "I speak for Jack and all the coaches when I say that we are so very proud of the girls. I thank you for the past and look forward to your continued support and commitment for the future."
As for the players, the coaching staff wants to thank them for the hard work and dedication they have shown to Jack and all the coaches. It is very rare to have a group of kids that get along so well and truly care about each other and the team rather then themselves. They are a true TEAM in every sense of the word and coach Bob is honored to be a part of it and look forward to more fun and exciting soccer seasons yet to come.
Coaches: Bob Rocco, Annmarie Ziegler, Rich Francis, Glenn Schneider
Trainer: Jack Gomes
Player Names:
Daniella Keegan, Sabrina Emmerich , Avery Francis , Marni Kahn, Megan Lulley, Olivia Nakhjavan, Morgan Novikoff , Nicole Rocco, Sage Schneider, Eleni Sofroniou, Gabrielle Tayne, Olivia Teng, Lindsay Wright, and Morgan Ziegler.

When guests walk into the powder room of Katie Stein's Darien, Conn., home, "people's first reaction is to reach out and touch the walls," says Ms. Stein. That's because the walls are completely encrusted in glass beads.
Wallcovers That Do More Than Just Cover Walls
Textured and three-dimensional wallpaper are among the fastest growing of all residential wallcovers.

Desiring a look that was "sophisticated but with a little whimsy," Ms. Stein, a 41-year-old mother of three, called in interior designer Annie Mahoney to spruce up the previously neglected room. Ms. Mahoney chose a three-dimensional wallpaper called Bianca Beadazzled by Maya Romanoff, a designer who has been creating textured papers since 1969. "The light hits the surface in different ways, it creates a kind of a magical feeling," Ms. Mahoney says.
As wallpaper enjoys a revival in popularity, embellished papers are a particularly bright spot. Sales of three-dimensional wall coverings are the fastest growing of all residential wallpapers, according to the Wallcoverings Association, a trade group that represents more than 60 manufacturers and distributors. The industry is projecting an increase in sales of residential tactile, dimensional and embellished wallpapers of more than 21% by 2013, according to market-research firm Freedonia Group. Global sales of wallpaper have gone up 30% over the past five years.

Wallpaper can be embellished with recycled windshield glass, mica, even mother of pearl. Sometimes those elements are embedded in materials such as bamboo, suede and cork. The 3-D looks alter a room without the investment of, say, a structural renovation or major plasterwork. Textured wallcoverings generally range from about $40 to $1,000 per roll.
Tactile wallcoverings used to be seen only in large-scale, commercial projects. Los Angeles-based manufacturer Astek Wallcoverings attributes the rise in glittering walls to enhanced technology. "Until recently, silkscreening was very expensive and you needed large runs to make the numbers work," says Jeff Dey, Astek head of business development. Higher-quality digital printers and computer software mean the firm can create custom wall coverings as small as 1,000 square feet and still make money, Mr. Dey says. The firm's velvet-flocked wallpaper costs about $39 per roll.
Brewster Wallcoverings, based in Randolph, Mass., has seen a five-fold increase in sales of embellished grasscloth wallcoverings in the past five years. "With more materials available today, consumers are experimenting," says Paula Berberian, the company's creative services manager. "We're moving away from minimalism, especially in the younger markets, where consumers are looking at pattern and sparkle to make a bold statement."
Gina Shaw, vice president of product development at York Wallcoverings, the oldest and one of the largest wallpaper manufacturers in the U.S., sees the trend as a result of better adhesive materials and printing machinery. Consumers also like its variable nature, she says.
"The tactile surfaces bring in a different visual aspect to wallcoverings because the light play changes with the time of day," Ms. Shaw says. She noticed the popularity of grasscloth a few years ago and says the trend now has moved to glitter, sand, printed cork and mica sheets.
The technology to create grasscloth wallcoverings first emerged in the 1940s, when it was popular in kitchens, though modern versions include thinner cuts of bamboo with mylar, gold, and Swarovski crystals woven in. The roots of tactile wallpaper go back further. "Stanford White had bamboo glued to the walls of his summer house, and Marcel Proust had cork on the walls in his bedroom," says Charles Riley, a New York interior designer, who recently incorporated embedded beads and strategically placed pearls into the wallpaper of homes in Englewood, N.J., and San Francisco. "It's a high-glam look, and it starts to approach an architectural treatment of a space," he says.
Swarovski Crystals, which has been offering its gems to wallcovering manufacturers for a few years, is getting in on the game itself. The Wattens, Austria-based company recently launched its Elements wallcovering collection. Set to arrive in the U.S. later this year, the line of mica, crystal, and Geode, which mimics the look of crushed quartz, has been a huge success, says Christoph Kargruber, vice president of global marketing, since its March debut in Europe. Prices range from $800 to $2,100 to paper a 10x10-foot wall.
The papers can be overwhelming, and decorators underscore the importance of incorporating shimmery and 3-D surfaces only onto small areas, such as accent walls and powder rooms—or to the ceiling for a subtle effect. Mr. Riley notes the look is a style commitment, as it is more work to switch it out after a season or two than a painted surface. "Maybe you'll like it in five or 10 years" he says. "Maybe you'll change it out."
Most designers agree that these embellished papers, even those with high dimension and serious sparkle, mesh well with the modern and mid-century furniture designs that have been so popular in recent years, adding a layer of richness that doesn't clash with the minimalism.
To clean textured wallcoverings, grasscloth manufacturer Phillips Jeffries Ltd. recommends vacuuming walls with a soft brush attachment, though the Fairfield, N.J.-based company says that textured wallpaper is more forgiving of dirt than flat paint. Interior designer Ms. Mahoney agrees: "Paint shows handprints, dings, etc., while a textured wallpaper will show far less." She adds that many wallpapers are treated with a stain-repellant finish.
Designers recommend experienced wallpaper-hangers. "Because the papers are so heavy, you really need someone who knows what he is doing," Mr. Riley says.
Home improvement retailer Lowe's, on the other hand, feels differently. It says most of its customers are prepared to hang these papers themselves.

"To meet our customers' evolving demand for trend-forward wallpaper styles, all of Lowe's in-stock wallpaper now offer textured and embellished features," says a spokeswoman for the company. She notes that raffia, stucco, and grasscloth with mica and other shimmery embellishments are rapidly gaining popularity. Marketers for Lowe's say that DIY is an option for these types of papers, though most designers agree that matching corners can be tricky. Lowe's 3-D wallcoverings start at $42 to cover a 10x10-foot wall.
Cristina Niccolini, who lives in the Roland Park neighborhood of Baltimore, Md., says she wanted a few modern touches when she gut-renovated her 1920s Lawrence Hall Fowler-designed home.
For the dining room, her interior decorator, Carey Jacobs, chose a handmade Ronald Redding paper with a traditional trellis pattern, but with metallics woven in to add some shimmer and dimension. Ms. Jacobs says using dimensional wall coverings creates enough visual interest that homeowners should go light on accessories or art. "The paper becomes the focal point, and you get a lot of value for such a small investment," Ms. Jacobs says.
Ms. Niccolini, a 39-year-old homemaker, says her dining room walls are now a magnet for guests. "People always want to get up close to our wall and see why is it shimmering," she says. "Embellished wallcoverings have totally converted my husband and me into wallpaper fanatics."

Article: Convolution of Emission Derivative Ratio Curves of Closely Related Fluorescent Reaction Products Using Discrete Fourier Functions and Non-Parametric Linear Regression Method.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A spectrofluorimetric method was used for the estimation of closely related fluorescent reaction products, Fluoxetine and Olanzapine, in their mixture after derivatization of both drugs using 4-chloro-7- nitrobenzo - 2 -oxa-1,3 - diazole (NBD-Cl) in borate buffered medium (pH 9.5) to form highly fluorescent products. The method based on the use of first and second derivative ratio of the emission data along with their convolution using 8-points sin x i or cos x i polynomials (discrete Fourier functions). The proposed method facilitates their simultaneous determination despite the presence of a minor component (Olanzapine) and strong overlapped spectra of the two NBD-Cl fluorescent products of fluoxetine and olanzapine. The accurate and precise estimation of the minor component was achieved after the convolution of the derivative ratio curves. Moreover, the obtained data were subjected to non-parametric linear regression analysis (Theil's method). The work combines the advantages of convolution of derivative ratio curves using discrete Fourier functions together with the reliability and efficacy of the non-parametric analysis of data.Journal of Fluorescence 10/2014; · 1.79 Impact Factor
Article: Validated stability-indicating methods for the simultaneous determination of amiloride hydrochloride, atenolol, and chlorthalidone using HPTLC and HPLC with photodiode array detector.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two stability-indicating chromatographic methods are described for simultaneous determination of amiloride hydrochloride (AMI), atenolol (ATE), and chlorthalidone (CHL) in combined dosage forms. The first method was based on HPTLC separation of the three drugs followed by densitometric measurements of their bands at 274 nm. The separation was carried out on Merck HPTLC silica gel 60F254 aluminum sheets using chloroform-methanol-ammonia 27%, w/w (9 + 2 + 0.3, v/v/v) mobile phase. Analysis data was used for the linear regression graph in the range of 0.1-0.5, 0.8-5.0, and 0.3-1.5 microg/band for AMI, ATE, and CHL, respectively. The second method was based on an RP-HPLC separation of the cited drugs performed on an RP stainless steel C18 analytical column (250 x 4.6 mm id) with a gradient elution system of methanol and 0.05 M aqueous phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 4 as the mobile phase, at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Quantitation was achieved with photodiode array detection at 275 nm for AMI and 225 nm for ATE and CHL. The calibration graphs for each drug were rectilinear in the range of 2-50, 25-150, and 2-100 microg/mL for AMI, ATE, and CHL, respectively. The proposed chromatographic methods were successfully applied for determination of the investigated drugs in pharmaceutical preparations. Both methods were validated in compliance with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, LOD, and LOQ.Journal of AOAC International 01/2013; 96(2):313-23. · 1.23 Impact Factor
Article: MONITORING OF METRONIDAZOLE AND ITS METABOLITE RESIDUES IN EGGS OF TWO STRAINS OF HENS USING HPLC-DAD[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: HPLC-DAD method based on solid-phase extraction was developed for residual determination of metronidazole (MET) and its metabolite hydroxymetronidazole (MET-OH) in two strains of hen eggs (Alexandria egg line, AE and Fayoumi egg line, PP). The LC separation was performed on a RP C-18 analytical column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with an isocratic elution system of 0.0 5 M phosphate buffer of pH 2.5–acetonitrile (95:5) as the mobile phase. The procedure was evaluated and fully validated. The calibration graphs for MET and MET-OH were rectilinear in the range of 0.3–16.0 µg g−1 for MET and 0.2–20.0 µg g−1 for MET-OH. No residues could be detected before the 3rd day or after 11th day after the drug administration. The drug and metabolite concentration levels in eggs for the two strains of hens were different owing to their change in genetic potential. PP has less ability to keep MET and MET-OH residues than AE.Journal of Liquid Chromatography & Related Technologies 01/2013; 36(14). · 0.57 Impact Factor
Article: Bioavailability study of triamterene and xipamide using urinary pharmacokinetic data following single oral dose of each drug or their combination.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An efficient chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of triamterene (TRI) and xipamide (XIP) in urine samples, based on high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD) has been developed. The HPLC separation was performed on a RP stainless-steel C-18 analytical column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a gradient elution system of 0.05 M phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 4.0 and methanol as the mobile phase. The method was used to determine the urinary excretion profile and to calculate different urinary pharmacokinetic parameters following oral dose of their combination compared with single oral doses of each drug and hence comparing their bioavailability. Quantitation was performed using chlorthalidone as internal standard. The calibration graphs of each drug were rectilinear in the range of 0.2-40 μg/mL urine for TRI and 0.2-15 μg/mL urine for XIP. An HPLC-DAD method was also successfully developed for the simultaneous determination of the investigated drugs in pharmaceutical preparations. The methods were validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, selectivity, limits of detection and quantitation and other aspects of analytical validation.Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis 12/2011; 61:78-85. · 2.45 Impact Factor
Article: Enhanced spectrophotometric determination of two antihyperlipidemic mixtures containing ezetimibe in pharmaceutical preparations.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two spectrophotometric methods are presented for the simultaneous determination of ezetimibe/simvastatin and ezetimibe/atorvastatin binary mixtures in combined pharmaceutical dosage forms without prior separation. The first is the derivative ratio method where the amplitudes of the first derivative of the ratio spectra ((1) DD) at 299.5 and 242.5 nm were found to be linear with ezetimibe and simvastatin concentrations in the ranges 0.5-20 µgml(-1) and 1-40 µgml(-1) , respectively, whereas the amplitudes of the first derivative of the ratio spectra ((1) DD) at 289.5 and 288 nm were selected to determine ezetimibe and atorvastatin in the concentration ranges 5-50 µgml(-1) and 1-40 µgml(-1) , respectively. The second is the H-point standard additions method; absorbances at the two pairs of wavelengths, 228 and 242 nm or 238 and 248 nm, were monitored while adding standard solutions of ezetimibe or simvastatin, respectively. For the analysis of ezetimibe/atorvastatin mixture, absorbance values at 226 and 248 nm or 212 and 272 nm were monitored while adding standard solutions of ezetimibe or atorvastatin, respectively. Moreover, differential spectrophotometry was applied for the determination of ezetimibe in the two mixtures without any interference from the co-existing drug. This was performed by measurement of the difference absorptivities (ΔA) of ezetimibe in 0.07 M 30% methanolic NaOH relative to that of an equimolar solution in 0.07 M 30% methanolic HCl at 246 nm. The described methods are simple, rapid, precise and accurate for the determination of these combinations in synthetic mixtures and dosage forms.Drug Testing and Analysis 02/2011; 3(2):97-105. · 3.17 Impact Factor
Article: Development of a differential pulse voltammetric method for the determination of Silymarin/Vitamin E acetate mixture in pharmaceuticals.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Differential pulse voltammetric method was developed for determination of Silymarin (SMR)/Vitamin E acetate (VEA) mixture in pharmaceuticals. SMR and VE gave well-resolved diffusion-controlled anodic peaks at +756 and +444mV, respectively (versus Ag/AgCl) in Britton-Robinson buffer at pH 2.8. The solution conditions and instrumental parameters were optimized for their quantitative determination. The linear response was obtained in the range 0.1-4.0mgL(-1) with a detection limit of 0.03mgL(-1) for SMR and 0.05-4.0mgL(-1) with a detection limit of 0.01mgL(-1)for VEA.Talanta 02/2008; 74(4):773-8. · 3.50 Impact Factor

Antiquarian Book Fair
Last night my brother and sister-in-law and I attended the Georgia Antiquarian Book Fair which is being held in conjunction with the Decatur Book Festival. Some fifty antiquarian book dealers, mostly from the south but some from all over the U.S., gathered at the Holiday Inn in Decatur to show off (and hopefully sell) their fine, beautiful, and rare books. Plenty of books there were well over a hundred years old. Many modern first editions and signed books were on display as well. You could get … [Read more...]
Raimon Panikkar, Richard of St. Victor, and Ken Wilber
Here's a sweet little quote from interreligious theologian Raimon Panikkar's newest book, The Experience of God: Icons of the Mystery: Without purity of heart, not only can one not "see" God, but it is equally impossible to have any idea of what is involved in doing so. Without the silence of the intellect and the will, without the silence of the senses, without the openness of what some call "the third eye" (spoken of not only by Tibetans but also by the disciples of Richard of Saint Victor), … [Read more...]
The Countdown Begins…
So what do I do when I'm not reading ancient mystics like John Cassian or the Pseudo-Dionysius, or modern mystics like Ken Wilber or Thomas Merton? Well, for at least between now and about the third week in July, I'll be reading Harry Potter.This morning I figured out that there are (counting today) 129 days until the seventh and final Harry Potter adventure is unleashed upon the world. Meanwhile, in volumes one through six there are a total of 162 chapters. See where I'm going? By reading a … [Read more...]
