Sincere Life is an emcee from Chicago currently living in Madison, WI he has been mastering his craft as an emcee since before his adolescence. For 26 years all he ever wanted was to make it big in the hip hop community. As a kid he can remember writing out lyrics to 2pac's "So Many Tears" in his fifth grade classroom just so he could imitate his idol. Raised by a single mother after losing his father in a car accident in 1996, He likes to credit Hip-Hop as a savior for him at that point in his life. Sincere Life has been writing and emceeing ever since the eighth grade with his major influences being Nas, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. He's been involved in the hip hop scene since 2000 and has since formed ILL-NOIS Nation, a rap label which stands for Intelligent Lyrical Legends Neglecting Oppression and Inspiring Society. When he went to High School he started out just rapping to be rapping before he understood that it was a gift and he then learned to treat it with grace. By the time he graduated in 2003 he began to form into the type of emcee he always wanted to be. He brings a different feeling through his music and when you hear him you can tell he does it for the music first. That is just one of the things that separates him from a lot of artists you may here a lot more often, Sincere-Life hopes the development of a label and his lyrical driven music will get him noticed as he continues to pursue his dreams to one day make a name for himself.

- 1/2 cup(s) pitted kalamata olives
- 1 clove(s) (small) garlic, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) chopped rosemary
- 3 tablespoon(s) red wine vinegar
- 5 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 navel oranges
- 2 bunch(es) (large) watercress, thick stems discarded
- 2 Belgian endives, halved, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup(s) flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 (small) red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- Coarsely chop 1/4 cup of the olives and transfer them to a small bowl. In a mini processor, pulse the remaining 1/4 cup of olives with the garlic and rosemary until the olives are chopped. Add the vinegar and pulse twice to combine; add to the chopped olives in the bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the orange sections into the bowl; drain the juice and reserve for another use. Add the watercress, endives, parsley and onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
- Make Ahead: The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

The Romanian unemployment data is fake! These 7% are just the ones getting benefits. I, for instance, don't appear in any statistic as I am unemployed and not getting anything. That because I left the state sector for a job abroad and couldn't get anything after I returned. Still, was the best choice of my life!
But this "Why leave in a recovery?" is completely hilarious! What, a GDP growth of say 3%, would make the country actually livable? Romania is a complete crap (well, not so crappy the rich Bucharest that actually looks like a different country). The mode salary is the real one that you can find throughout the country, and it's about 200-250 euros! If I would randomly pick 100 people in my city, there's probably less than 5% that would make the published average salary per economy! Even the so-called "crisis battered" Greece has minimum salaries of 600 euros, higher than the "healthier" Portugal that has 400 euros minimum! Will that GDP growth magically fix Romanian salaries to European values? I remind you that the filthy Euro zone covered Greece's debt with hundreds of billions of euros, while our national bastard cut those African salaries by 25% for a so-called 2 billion euros issue. People want to live in a country where survival is not the 1st issue! But don't fear Romanians, fear gypsies! They don't need jobs, resumes, interviews. They will just come! Romanians won't come without having jobs. However, as opposed to Bulgarians, most Romanians are English speakers and will not have language issues in the UK!
It baffles the brain that such an uproar could arise over the possible movement of fellow Europeans into Britain while the even larger movement of Pakistanis and other Muslims continues unabated! I doubt if the Romanians are likely to throw bombs or massacre British soldiers on the streets, and they certainly do not have a declared policy of establishing their own enclaves with separate laws that will ultimately lead to civil strife in this country. Yet the Muslims continue to hoodwink our appallingly politically-correct society and in this they are aided and abetted by self-seeking politicians and an abject media. No wonder so many Brits are heading to Australia !
So 1 million went to Italy, one million went to Spain. Half a million went to Germany but yet only 120 000 went to Britain:
hold on, I thought British people say:
they all want to come here?
Why is there so much talking about eastern europeans coming to western europe? Europes demographic situation is changig dramatically, and this has nothing to do with eastern europe. This is because there is a mass immigration which just begins right now and will be accelerating over the next decades, it is the mass immigration from subsahaafrica and to lesser extent non subsaharan muslim countries. This mass immigration changes the world and will make europe a very different place, those bulgarians and romanian have no impact compared to the immigration from subsharaafrica
If Britain's moribund society can be saved at all (a doubtful proposition, admittedly) then it will be thanks to an influx of energetic can-do immigrants. For far too long too many Brits have sat on the sofa claiming benefits simply because they feel entitled. For far too long, the British at large have persisted in a kind of backward-looking can't-do mentality that stifles innovation and risk-taking - the very activities that lead to economic growth. We can only hope that continued influxes of foreigners stirs things up sufficiently to revive the social and economic dynamic.
This is a total misery that all your newspapers express ideas to create a bad image and non-realistic situation to avoid the exposure of your politicians and ours for their incompetence.I'm a Romanian i have a high qualification in IT and i don't want to come to Britain nor other western EU country.Relax people we don't want to come to Britain.Instead you and some others western countries are talking about your "superior race" come on give us all a break.You want to have full rights in Romania to buy our industry, to make profit, to sell your products here, to buy land... well we don't need your money, we don't need your jobs, we don't need your investments and as long you will continue this miserable campaign your are not welcomed here as well.
In general, the British have always behaved badly when away from home. Perhaps they suspect this, and assume that this behavior must therefore be universal. Ergo, the Bulgarians are expected to do likewise. Fair enough. That must be the sort of reasoning used by chaps in little England and their friends in the more inexpensive European resorts.
All these countries want cheap quality labor without actually having to give anything back in return. Same old story as in the US.
Be fair. Would you trust a Romanian? I would not trust anyone from my country of birth. That is why I left. Simple.
Does it upset you so that the west is so very much richer than you?
It is well known that Romania could do extremely well from the natural resources it sits on were its politicians and people not so corrupt.
The English invented the free market and exported it to the rest of the world, sometimes with the cannons (see the opium wars or the ruthless destruction of Indian textile manufacturing) and suddenly the British working and middle classes discover that free market does not mean only big money coming out of speculations (swindles) in the City of London.
The Brits want all the benefits of the free markets (especially the free movement of goods and capital) without any potential disadvantages, particularly the free movement of people. With other words we, the British, should be able to freely dump our goods to Romania, Bulgaria and, why not, Ukraine, (including some old British Navy frigates, deal facilitated through corruptions on both sides) and, at the same time, be able to remain protectionist in our small island fortress.
Our working and middle class British friends are worried about the impact of free movement of people on the wages of the British people. I think that this concern is a little bit overdue, he should have started to protest when Margaret Thatcher destroyed the unions and commenced dismantling the British manufacturing.
The biggest destroyers of working class jobs and wages in Britain are the British businessmen and their cronies from the Parliament. Exporting jobs to Vietnam or China is a lot more damaging than having a Romanian or Bulgarian cleaning the street of Manchester. Importing consumer goods from China is equally destructive. Both these things are done by British entrepreneurs, including the once famous sir James Dyson.
The Economist is so blind as to forget the deep organized crime problem facing Bulgaria and Romania spilling over Europe.
In addition you have the rom challenge : poor if altogether not functionning by not absorption of eurofunds destined to fix that.
You have then the social exclusion of those citizens; the romanians and bulgarians feel discriminated in EU they should better understand the roms.
After all some american states inside the Federation, practicing generous social benefits programms, were obliged to stop the influx of people comming from other states.
True nobody complained by the 40% romanian workers for the London Olympic Games. Rightly so.
Free immigration works only when there are no welfare programs.
I'm Bulgarian that study Economics in Innsbruck, Austria. I picked up that place, because I love nature and mountains, that we don't have home...imagine some people want to work in London, because they have to feel the pulse of the stock markets and the big city, not every one are non-educated stealers of jobs.
Not at all i'm a realistic person.This is not about being richer or pourer it's about equity and as long as your business mens want to have full rights here it must be a two way deal.Plus the idea that the romanians and bulgarians will invade us for social benefits at the moment that the labor market was opened it's silly to not say a cruel stupidity...for social benefits they can come in Britain or other eu country from 2007...
If those Bulgarians were far richer than much of the local inhabitants, this would be shrugged at because of the money they would spend. Instead, Bulgarians are much poorer, come from a society were the rich can literally expect to get away with murder if they pay a big enough bribe.
There is no comparison between the two.
Pete Bennett posted on YouTube examples of British people sitting on sofa claiming benefits simply because they feel entitled an in contrast immigrants 9including a Romanian) building businesses. The spam filter did not allow to attach the link.
Interesting to see how this Opening up of gates is interpreted. It is represented as if Romanians and Bulgarians attacked the gates and barged into the Rich EU countries to loot the people.. One has to understand that good and bad people are everywhere beyond any gates or borders of the countries. So, just accept the fact that depending on your attitude, you will either find more consumers and so more business or find more excuses for your inabilities to learn and adapt.
If you are from California in the United States of a Portion of North America, USPNA, you should rather come back to Europe yourself and leave the continent that your forefathers raped after throwing off British rule to become a permanent rogue state.
You are a spoilsport and take things way too seriously. But as you have started this, then, by the numbers, Romania and Bulgaria should be devoid of human population by now.

5 Tips for Packing for a Fall Weekend Getaway
For men's fashion.
The leaves are turning, the weather is cooler and you're taking off for a weekend getaway. But your closet is still full of summer shorts and t-shirts. Not sure what to pack for that three day, two night trip? Let us make it easy for you with a quick five point guide to dressing smart while fitting everything into a carryon or weekend bag.
1. Chinos are the perfect fall casual pant. Choose classic tan chinos or navy for an easy, laidback look that can be dressed up for an evening out.
2. Sport coats are an absolute lifesaver. Seriously, don't even think about leaving home without one. A sport coat or blazer is the perfect way to style up a casual look, provide a place to hold your keys, wallet and mobile phone and add a touch of sartorial savvy to a relaxed weekend. We suggest the Navy Windowpane Blazer. Comfortable and versatile, it works well with chinos, jeans and slacks.
3. A dress shirt, two Polo or Henley tees and a pullover will get you through every event, gathering or activity you have planned. Wear the dress shirt with slacks and a blazer for Friday night dinner. Choose a lighter colored Polo with slacks for that early Saturday morning round of golf. The Henley works well with jeans and a cardigan or sweater vest for Sunday lunch.
4. Sneakers and a semi casual pair of shoes or boots. Choose quality leather for the shoes and make sure they are comfortable, polished and (mostly) odor free. Wrap shoes in a shower cap or plastic bag when packing.
5. Don't forget the Dopp Kit! Also called a shaving kit, the Dopp Kit is really a bag within a bag that carries all the personal grooming essentials – shampoo, shaving cream, razor, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, nail clippers, condoms, aftershave, hair gel, chapstick, comb – you will need. Whether you're going fishing, to the mountains or visiting family, stay clean shaven and well groomed easily with all the right pieces in one place.
Men's Fashion Spotlight – Ralph Lauren Blazers For The Winter
For men's fashion.
One of my favorite designers for men's blazers is the iconic Ralph Lauren. His jackets are classically tailored and his designs are timeless. Blazers are such versatile pieces in your wardrobe, and Ralph Lauren offers some very impressive pieces that can be worn with dress pants, chinos, or your favorite pair of jeans.
As I have said previously, a blazer is an item that can tie a whole outfit together. Given the season, the materials turn to the richness of wool and other denser fabrics like corduroy. One of my favorite blazers from Ralph Lauren is a black and cream, 100% virgin wool herringbone sportscoat. It comes with sloping shoulders, a notched lapel, double back vents, and the distinct details of suede patched elbows, a two-button closure and buttoned cuffs. It is an exquisitely constructed piece that is made in Italy, which explains how it retails at $1300+ at a high end store like Sage Clothing.
The second look from Ralph Lauren that I really like is way more on the casual side: a 3-button Corduroy Sport Coat. Yes, 3 buttons may still be largely out ofvogue right now, the 100% cotton corduroy in a medium brown tone, with notched lapels, two flap button chest pockets, and cozy interior pockets more than vindicates the piece as downright fun. The rich brown is a ringer for Fall fabrics and it makes the perfect layering piece over a button-down shirt, a sweater, or under a down quilted vest. This particular blazer will run you a lot less at around $400 and will not lack in top quality fashion!
Online Shopping vs. Traditional Shopping?
For men's fashion.
In these tough economic times, fashion lovers are faced with a tough task: finding the very best deals on the items that they want to buy. For many, looking good is not just a vain consideration, but it's part of who they are and what they do on a day-to-day basis. Developments in technology mean that we can make purchases at the click of a button, and this is undoubtedly very convenient. But is it the best option when it comes to saving cash? Here, we'll take a look at the factors that come into play.
Firstly, let's consider supply and demand. The basic rules of economics mean that when something is readily available, the prices will plummet through an effort by retailers to make the sale. As the online marketplace becomes saturated with clothing suppliers, they're becoming more and more competitive, and as a result, are keen to offer low prices. On the high street, there simply isn't the amount of competition. Yes, there might be several other shops, but a quick internet search will often bring up hundreds of thousands of options. Looking at the big picture though, online and department stores are actually in competition with each other. As prices drop online, bricks and mortar stores need to keep up. In many cases, you'll find that because of this, prices remain fairly similar.

Men's Fashion Advice – End of the summer sales
For men's fashion.
If you are the kind of guy who likes great quality clothing, but doesn't want to pay full price, then now is the time of year to start looking for items to add to your wardrobe. The "end of the season sales" can be the best time to stock up on essentials for next season or just pick up that piece of clothing that you have had your eye on, but didn't want to top dollar for.
For example, at bergdorfgoodman.com there is a classic denim blazer by Michael Kors that is located in the men's sale section. It has a notched lapel, a welt chest pocket, two flap pockets, a two button closure, and comes in a versatile indigo cotton denim. This is a great casual item that was originally $495, but has been marked down to $222.

Men's Fashion News: The Traveling Trend of the Casual Sports Jacket
For men's fashion.
After a great trip to LA, we arrived back at LAX about four hours early for our return flight. While we were hanging around at Gladstones, relaxing and killing some time, we had the perfect view of passengers coming and going. Normally, you expect to see guys dressed up in suits, flying to and from their business meeting destinations, but I noticed that a lot of travelers were mixing the tailored crispness of a sports jacket with more casual clothing items to create a great look.
One gentleman that stood out of the crowd was wearing the perfect navy blue blazer with medium width lapels, trimmed in gold buttons on the front closure and the sleeves. He had coordinated it with a crisp white button-down shirt, which he kept with an open collar, and a pair of belted khakis. The brown leather loafers were also the perfect compliment to his look. It was a style that I could see coming from the pages of the Ralph Lauren catalogue.
Men's Fashion Advice: Linen Blazers
For men's fashion.
Paul McGregor – Owner of Brighterman, specialising in mens accessories
With the spring/summer season in full swing, it's only right we reviewed an item of clothing that has been extremely popular this season: the linen blazer. The sartorial side of men is finally appearing, with smart yet casual trends appearing anywhere you look. A linen blazer is growing in popularity among many designers' collections along with high street retailers such as All Saints. Brands such as Gant also see the importance of the linen blazer also. But why all the interest?
Well, for one, a blazer always adds that elegant touch to your looks as the simple addition completely transforms a look from casual to formal with the addition of a linen blazer. The lightweight material makes the blazer perfect for the warmer days and can be layered over either a t-shirt or casual shirt. Dependent on how formal or how casual you want to go, work around the linen blazer. You can use accessories to add colour to the look or either make the look more formal or more casual. For example, adding colour and elegance using a red skinny tie or bow tie, pairing it with a slim fit shirt, tailored chino shorts and brogues. A pocket square also adds elegance and adds a chic feel to your look. If you want to loosen up the look, pair a linen blazer with a graphic t-shirt, chino shorts and tasseled loafers, accessorise with a mens brown leather belt.
A linen blazer really is timeless and can be worn all year round, suitable for all types of events whether it's a first date or a job interview. Achieving a smart yet casual look is really on trend this season, and defiantly something you should be taking inspiration from.

Some breaking news for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Instead of worrying about Vladimir Putin's "broad powers," she should read the headlines of her own nation's newspapers, be concerned about those "broad powers" her boss has borrowed instead. Condi told reporters, at a news conference yesterday, "In any country, if you don't have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development." (AP) A big, heartfelt amen to that.
And, during that same exchange with members of the press, Rice also observed " I think there is too much concentration of power in the Kremlin. I have told the Russians that. Everybody has doubts about the full independence of the judiciary. There are clearly questions about the independence of the electronic media and there are, I think, questions about the strength of the Duma." If nothing else, this administration appears to have masterd the fine art of projection. Feel free to substitute the words "White House" for Kremlin, and "Congress" for Duma, and you'll see, a perfect fit!
Condi's concerns for a tamper-free Russian presidential election, in the coming months, is also ironic inasmuch as her close colleague, and our last attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, was forced to step down due to lingering questions as to whether he lied, in sworn testimony, about the firing of nine U.S. attorneys many of whom reportedly refused to play ball and prosecute voter fraud cases as part of a white collar effort to steal yet another U.S. election.
So, in light of her concern for what she calls "creeping authoritarianism," I thought it might be worthwhile to compile a laundry list of things, closer to her own backyard, that the secretary of state ought to worry about:
1) For openers, how is it that fully six months before terrorists bombed the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the government met with head honchos of telecommunications companies like Qwest Communications and attempted to elicit their cooperation in intercepting, and recording the private telephone conversations of "tens of millions of Americans" in defiance of the Telecommunications Act? (WaPo)
2) How is it that the National Security Agency later claimed that bypassing FISA, and ordering warantless electronic monitoring of ordinary U.S. citizens, had anything to do with 9/11 when the infrastructure for this illicit program was being put in place months before before 9/ll?
3) Why is it that the government "withdrew" a contract worth "hundreds of millions of dollars" when a former head of Qwest Communications, Joseph P. Nacchio, refused to submit to pressure, and join the chorus of telecommunications companies, like A T & T, who cooperated with the NSA's program to data mine personal records? Is there a link between Nacchio's stepping forward, talking now, refusing to be redacted, and the current charges of insider trading being levelled against him? (NSA) This is more like the relatiatory measures we most often associate with organized crime, not government. Moreover, where were the attorney general, secretary of state,and the Justice Department when the head of a major telecommunications company expressed his own worries about the legality of a program to secretly spy on millions of Americans. Could they all have been out to lunch at the time? If so, when are they due to come back?
4) Yes, indeed, as Rice rightly asserts "everybody has doubts about the full independence of the judiciary" — not just the Russian judiciary; the American judiciary, too! When is the last time you can recall an attorney general not merely stepping down, but hiring a defense attorney? How convenient, too, that the lawyer Mr. Gonzales recently retained to represent him was deputy attorney general under his good friend, and the president's father, George H.W. Bush. What an incestuous lot!
Putting incest aside, for a moment, and looking at how quickly Congress rolls over for this unitary executive whose broad powers guaranteed passage, and finalization, of the USA Patriot Act, and virtually guarantee passage of "Protect America Act" legislation which radically revises FISA, and legalizes warrantless surveillance of Americans, many of whom seem to be more preoccupied with whether Britney Spears is wearing underwear or not.
Yes,, Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore, especially when every major Internet provider has been asked to turn over Web habits of its customers with promises of immunity from future prosecution. We're not in Kansas anymore when the same Supreme Court that handed this president his White House, back in 2000, has been neutralized, and made to tow the line like every other branch of government.
And, finally, while she's in worrying mode, it seems only right that Condi look into why it is that "innocent people have been killed" (NYT) in Iraq by Blackwater guards. When our so-called allies, the Kurds, themselves say that convoys were not being fired on when they shot Iraqi citizens in the back while they were running from their cars.
Given that Blackwater was reportedly founded by a mega-wealthy evangelical Christian, who'd have thought that they'd serve as an auxiliary volunteer bunch of thugs whose numbers aren't factored into the numbers of those openly killing Iraqi "insurgents" for their own soil Can it be that, not only are the numbers of Iraqis sacrificed at the altar of the almighty buck manipulated, but, factoring in the role of Blackwater and other military contractors in adding to the carnage, that Rice and the Bush administration underestimate the number of forces in Iraq by about 50%? If you hold a gun, and aim it at "the enemy," what are you if not a soldier?
But, what Condi needs to worry about most is how military mercenaries can be engaged in shootings that can only be called entropic criminal events, as well as how it is that her buddy, the president, has managed to get away with unprecedented, and unparalleled wartime privatization. George W. Bush has done, with private military contractors in Iraq, what he was unable to accomplish with social security. He has, in essence, made a business out of putting world stability in peril in the name of maximizing corporate profit.
So, while she's in the neighborhood of human rights, and busy lambasting Russia's president for torture, and dubious interrogation tactics in Chechnya, Condoleezza Rice might want to pay a visit to Guantanamo Bay, as well as take a long, hard look at what is euphemistically known as "extraordinary rendition."
It would be really extraordinary if the secretary of state would explain how a country that claims to hold the moral high ground has all but shredded the Magna Carta, and may well be rememberd as much for Abu Ghraib as the Statue of Liberty.

Re: SELES POWER !!!!!!! INVENCIBLE - vol 3
Hello Jeremy
The first step to cure alcoholism is to admit "yes,i'm drinking".Now you know that you have a problem and now you can cure it.It's probably not easy but you can do it.
Stop to hate yourself !!!!!!Take a mirror and tell the mirror that the man in the mirror is a nice guy
The doctor will help you.Last year I got a little accident.I slipped on the stairways and I felt.I got so much pains that I used painkillers .I think for some days I was really in danger to be a drug user but then I told my doctor about the problem and within some days all my problems were gone.
When you feel alone then go online
I know internet can't replace real people but you are not alone.
See you
I always cheer for Monica

Things are getting serious between Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence! The adorable couple has been getting extremely close, and 'The Hunger Games' actress is reportedly 'blown away' by her new man!
Jennifer Lawrence, 24, and Chris Martin, 37, may have only been seeing each other for a short time, but a new report claims that things are already heating up between them! Read below for all the details!
Chris Martin Jennifer Lawrence Dating
Jaws dropped when rumors started to swirl that Jennifer and Chris were reportedly dating! The Oscar-winning actress had just broken things off with her boyfriend of three years, Nicholas Hoult, and the Coldplay rocker and wife, Gwyneth Paltrow had announced their extremely amicable separation back in March!
Despite the fact that they have only been seeing one another for a few months, things are heating up and reportedly, Chris is doing his best to sweep the stunning actress off her feet!
A source told Us Weekly how Chris won Jennifer over, "He writes her songs and loves taking her to private, romantic spots." The source revealed that his efforts to charm and woo Jennifer are definitely working — so sweet!
"The better she gets to know him, the more she likes him," a source says. "She says he's superfunny and sweet. Jen was blown away at his London show. His music is absolutely part of the attraction!"
So cute! We love this couple!
Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Martin — Inside Their Romantic Date
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, the couple went to the swanky, Wolffer Estates vineyard in the Hamptons a few days before her 24th birthday on Aug. 15, and a source told E! that they were super cute together.
"They were very low-key, nobody realized who they were," the source said. "The setting was super-romantic. They watched the sun go down together, then quietly left.
The new couple met at a Coldplay concert at Kensington Roof Gardens in London, July 1 — looks like they are going strong!
HollywoodLifers, do you think they will last? Let us know your thoughts below!

Where is the actual proof as there is none what so ever, I need something substantial that proves it. Its all been 'sources' and PR fluff stories that are all from Martin's side of things so most believe its his or Goopy's PR team shoveling all of this.
If real proof comes to light then best of luck to them.
Posted at 1:58 PM on August 27, 2014
Yeah right. This sounds like fanfiction straight from either Chris's or Gwyneth's PR people. News must really be slow! Hope you find some more concrete content soon! Funny how all of this is coming "exclusively" from Us magazine. I've read comments from others on this BS and a majority aren't falling for it, not without real proof.

But he was the latest arrival. The serai, the caravanserai where Buddha was staying, was full of Buddhist monks. There was no space inside for him to sleep, so he had to sleep just on the steps - and he could not sleep. He had never even dreamed of such hardship.just on the steps. And Buddha had this idea that the monk can have only three pieces of material for clothes. So one he uses for the bed - a long piece of cloth - and also uses it to cover himself, so it becomes a kind of sleeping bag. And two he uses for himself: one for the lower body, one for the upper body. That's all a Buddhist monk is allowed: on a stone step with just a thin cloth - he could not sleep.and there were so many mosquitoes, and the whole night monks were coming in, going out, coming in, going out, and he was just on the steps, so each time anybody would come out or go in he was awakened.
Just early in the morning, when he was falling asleep at last, tired, Buddha came, awakened him, and said, "There is still time - you go back home. Nobody knows you have become a sannyasin. Once people know, it will be difficult for you to go back. Go back! I know you have not been able to sleep the whole night. It is difficult: there are mosquitoes, and only three pieces of cloth are allowed, and in this place there is no space. And you are the youngest monk, just one day old, so you cannot have the space of some elderly monk. There is a seniority, and you are the last."
Shrone said, "Don't disturb me. What step I have taken, I have taken. Now whatsoever consequence has to be suffered, I will suffer. But I don't know how to look back. The question of going back simply does not arise; I never even look back."
Buddha said, "It is good, because in the last life you had become a monk and just because of these same difficulties you had gone back. So I thought perhaps you might do it again, because people go on in the same vicious circle again and again and again - the same habit. And they go on moving in the wheel of the habits. I had come to ask you particularly because I knew that in the last life you had turned back. This is a good sign that you have grown up, that you have stopped turning back. But ahead it is not easy; perhaps a few lives with this determination, if you go on and on and on, you might achieve nirvana" - that is the Buddhist term for enlightenment.
Bertrand Russell cannot be called an enlightened person. He is a very great intellectual, a rational being, very progressive, and capable of getting out of the bondage of convention, tradition, but the reasons he chooses to get out are all of the mind. He finds Jesus to be contradictory - it is a mind statement. Jesus behaves arrogantly, and he talks of being humble. He says to the people, "Blessed are the poor," and then he promises them the kingdom of God. Now, there is an apparent contradiction. If poverty is a blessing, then all the sages in heaven should be the most poor, because it is a blessing. In fact the people who live in hell should all be rich, super-rich, if you follow it logically.
Jesus says, "Even a camel can pass through the eye of a needle but a rich man cannot pass through the gates of heaven." Then where are rich men going? They must be going somewhere. So all the rich and super-rich - if you want to meet the Fords and Rockefellers and Morgans, you have to go to hell. They will all be there, with all their riches. Because if rich people cannot go to heaven, how can their riches go? Who will take them? And perhaps hell will be, right now, the most luxurious place to live in. You will find all of Hollywood there; where else will they go? All the actors and actresses must be there in hell.

A groundbreaking investigative work by a critically acclaimed sociologist on the corporate takeover of local news and what it means for all Americans
For the residents of Minot, North Dakota, Clear Channel Communications is synonymous with disaster. Early in the morning of January 18, 2002, a train derailment sent a cloud of poisonous gas drifting toward the small town. Minot's fire and rescue departments attempted to reach Clear Channel, which owned and operated all six local commercial radio stations, to warn residents of the approaching threat. But in the age of canned programming and virtual DJs, there was no one in the conglomerate's studio to take the call. The people of Minot were taken unawares. The result: one death and more than a thousand injuries.
Opening with the story of the Minot tragedy, Eric Klinenberg's Fighting for Air takes us into the world of preprogrammed radio shows, empty television news stations, and copycat newspapers to show how corporate ownership and control of local media has remade American political and cultural life. Klinenberg argues that the demise of truly local media stems from the federal government's malign neglect, as the agencies charged with ensuring diversity and open competition have ceded control to the very conglomerates that consistently undermine these values and goals.
Such "big media" may not be here to stay, however. Fighting for Air delivers a call to action, revealing a rising generation of new media activists and citizen journalists--a coalition of liberals and conservatives--who are demanding and even creating the local coverage they need and deserve.

"There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you".
Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
Many organisations have booked Bernard since he started giving talks in May 2010 and none of them have been disappointed.
The talks are on various subjects and are accompanied by a colourful PowerPoint presentations. The slides and the sound effects add another dimension to the talk. It's not so much a talk, but an audio visual experience!
This website contains a great deal of information about these talks, talks planned for the future, background on Bernard and other interesting sections.
Bernard publishes a quarterly newsletter keeping previous and new customers up-to-date with developments and 'Speaker Finders' are encouraged to subscribe to this free email publication.
Groups are asked to leave a comment on the Guestbook/Comment page if they have found a particular talk interesting. Many have left very complimentary remarks. This in turn gives other Speaker Finders the confidence to book Bernard.
Talks can be booked by ringing 0775 917 1226 or email by clicking on the envelope below. Please give your name. telephone number, starting time of talk and the venue's address and post code.
Bernard has resisted having a fixed fee for talks, but asks organisations who book him to consider paying a fee based on audience size and distance travelled to give the talk (he lives in Sunderland and 40p a mile is the accepted national rate for longer distances). The fee for very small and very large groups can be negotiated with Bernard. Realistically Bernard cannot be expected to be out of pocket giving a talk to a small group who are a large distance from his home so where a fee of £50+ is probably the norm.
Corporate events are welcomed and again fees can be negotiated.
Bernard provides all equipment needed and requires only a 13 amp power socket.
His screen size is limited to that which can be carried in a car (1.25metres square), but he will use a venue screen if it is larger and available.
Please note that Bernard gives less talks during the summer months to allow him to take a holiday and has a limited amount of time during late April, all May and all June due to educational consultancy commitments.
This educational work also means he has to travel out of the area (sometimes at short notice) on certain days in January, February and April. This may result in him cancelling a talk booking.
Please also note that cancellation of a presentation may be necessary in adverse weather conditions such as those experienced in the recent winters. Please bear this in mind if you are booking a talk in winter in an area which normally is affected by poor and/or dangerous weather/road conditions. It might also be necessary to cancel due to unforeseen clashes with educational work commitments.

Causing a stir: feast on four new cookbooks that share rich culinary memories.
Spring is frequently associated with the urge to clean and organize. Perfectly situated between our gray winters and smoking-hot summers, spring's arrival also inspires outdoor gatherings and long, lingering meals often eaten on a back patio or screened porch. Plump, colorful produce and garden-fresh herbs do their part to make this time of year an optimal season for cooking. The South has a long history of food-oriented traditions. One includes preserving recipes by passing them down, along with their history and backstories, through generations of cooks. During this ideal season for trying new dishes and recalling old favorites, four new cookbooks share prize-winning secrets and recipes for all to enjoy.THE PINK PALATE: SASSY RECIPES FOR THE SPIRIT & SURVIVOR IN YOU
By the Waiting For a Cure Fund. Hardcover/ three-ring, $25. Available at gift shops and Main Street Books, Hattiesburg; 601/584-6960; www.visitmainstreetbooks.com.
When Mississippi artist Lissa Ortego was asked to create artwork for The Pink Palate, she found inspiration from seven breast cancer survivors. One night, she had a dream about bowls of pink ribbon-shaped pasta, which later became the whimsical cover for the cookbook.
The recipes inside are just as creative and colorful as the cover. Each dish submitted by a breast cancer survivor is indicated with a pink ribbon symbol, reminding us that cooking for a cause can be a powerful thing. Fun titles, like Texas Tornado Cake and Knock You Naked Brownies, replace the same old boring recipes with sassy alternatives.
Cookbook proceeds will be used to help the Waiting For A Cure Fund, a Mississippi-focused program to benefit breast cancer patients, as well as the Deanna Favre HOPE Foundation. In the book's foreword, Favre, who is a fellow breast cancer survivor and wife of NFL star Brett Favre, dedicates the cookbook "to all of the brave women and their families who have been on a very powerful physical journey and have faced the pain of an emotional recovery from breast cancer."

Best of the Best from Bell's Best shares innovative culinary creations for a good cause, while reminding us how far we've come since the avocado green coil-corded rotary dial phone.
TelecomPioneers of Mississippi compiled favorites from four classic Bell's Best cookbooks to create this collection of the most popular time-tested recipes. Each section's title page reveals a tidbit of telephone history, beginning in 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell introduced the first phone at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and ending with the 1983 launch of the cellular system.
Volunteers submitted their personal best recipes to create the previous Bell's Best collections. A wide selection of Mississippi classics fill this book with treasured dishes, including Friendship Tea, Marinated Greek Salad, and the service organization's own Pioneer Shrimp Boil Shrimp Sauce--a favorite from its annual shrimp boil.
The popularity of the Bell's Best series has helped the Pioneers launch community projects across Mississippi. "Funds raised from the sale of these books have built Habitat homes, provided playground maps to schools and parks, enhanced educational opportunities, and supported health-related issues," says Bellsouth-Mississippi president John M. McCullouch.
MARINATED GREEK SALAD 2 cups cauliflower, chopped 2 cups broccoli, chopped 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced 3/4 cup ripe black olives, pitted 3/4 cup green salad olives 12 cherry tomatoes 1 (8-ounce) bottle Italian dressing 4 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled Combine all ingredients except cheese; refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, add cheese. Yield: 6-8 servings.

By Keetha DePriest Reed. Paperback, $13.95. Pelican Street Press, www.pelicanst.com.
Keetha DePriest Reed may dislike plain grits, hot summers, and playing softball, but her collection of essays and down-home dishes is as Southern as it gets. Things she loves include autumn, sugar cookies, family reunions (a recently acquired taste), percolated coffee, winter holidays, and gumbo. A writer and longtime cook born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, Reed describes memories and culinary delights from her native region in this second installment of her Culinary Kudzu series.
"Food is a powerful link to family members and friends, certainly to memories," she writes. Reed's narrative weaves through the recipes with just the right amount of sentiment and spiciness. Nostalgic tales of deep-fried turkeys ("a job for the men-folk that gets them out of the recliners and actually doing something to contribute to the meal") and the straightforward appeal of state fair cuisine will make fellow Southerners smile in recognition of our guilty pleasures.
A section at the back lists Reed's favorite Southern places, Web sites, and books. While her recipes are waiting-to-be-dog-eared classics, her addictive, blog-like stories are to be enjoyed in one sitting.
CHICKEN PIE 1 (1 1/2- to 2-pound) chicken Water 2 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup shortening 1/4 to 1/3 cup ice water 1 stick butter 4 eggs, boiled and sliced Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch dish, and set aside. Cook chicken in enough salted water to cover until tender, but not until meat falls off bones. Remove chicken from bones, and set aside; reserve broth. Make a dough with flour, salt, shortening, and ice water. Roll out about half of dough. Cut into long strips to line the sides of the greased dish. Place half of chicken pieces over bottom of pan. Cut half of butter over chicken, then top with egg slices and salt and pepper. Add remaining chicken pieces. Pour chicken broth over chicken. Roll out remaining dough; cut into strips, and place over top of chicken. Place remaining butter over top of pastry. Bake until lightly browned.
By Patty Pinner; photography by Sheri Giblin. Paperback, $16.95. Ten Speed Press, 800/841-2665, www.tenspeed.com.
Patty Pinner shares stirring memories and prized family recipes in this wonderful collection of tempting desserts. Vintage family photographs and entertaining anecdotes give this book a unique feel, like a friend displaying her family album while filling you in on all the juicy secrets. The scrumptious pictures of heavily iced cakes and glistening cobblers will have readers abandoning their diets and cramming their pantries with sugary staples.
Pinner's memories are just as rich as the recipes she shares; she remembers in detail each candy-coated work of art from her childhood along with vivid details of her lively upbringing. Pinner's grandparents, "Pop" and "My My," along with their four daughters and youngest son, left Mississippi for Saginaw, Michigan, in the late 1940s. Pinner reflects on My My's coveted specialty: delicious desserts. "The cakes of my childhood were big, rich, and wonderfully moist, and they required the approval of all the women in the family before they were inducted into our family's collection of cherished recipes."
Pinner says her grandmother adjusted to the "Great Up North" through the satisfaction of baking. "As it had been in the South, the church soon became an important part of My My's social life. And just as quickly, her food baskets--especially those holding her desserts--became as popular as they had been in Mississippi," she writes.
Pinner discloses treasured dessert techniques as well as the story behind each one, giving the book a personal touch. Sweets not only commemorates Pinner's family recipes, it also celebrates one African-American family's history in the process.

The dramatic acquittal Monday of Seattle student Amanda Knox has given rise to a dizzying array of questions.
Does the case signal defects in the Italian criminal justice system? Was there a rush to judgment in 2009, when Knox was convicted of murdering her Italian roommate and sentenced to 26 years in prison? Or did the appellate court that overturned the conviction bow to media pressure to set Knox free? On a lesser note: Will Knox, who arrived home yesterday in Seattle, now earn big money telling her story to the media? . . . Read More »
