Obama Caught in a Lie With Remarks About Hillary E-mail Scandal
Seems Barack Obama can't keep the fibs straight. From thefederalistpapers.org. In a CBS interview with Bill Plante, this is what His Majesty had to say:
Nope. Certainly sounds like he never e-mailed her. Had no idea about the private e-mail domain. But now Josh Earnest tells us that Obama did indeed e-mail Hillary, at that private address and private domain, in her role as Secretary of State. Which means, as TFP points out, that Obama was lying. Through his teeth. Again. Knowing good and well he is covering for his boss's dishonesty, Earnest keeps trying to tell us "the point" is something other than Barack Obama being caught in another lie.
The rest is just a tap-dance to cover that fact. But I am sure Brother Barack is telling the truth about banning ammunition, and about Obamacare, and regulation of the internet, and Benghazi, and the IRS, and Solyndra, and Iran, and…..

What a Statesman Sounds Like
The contrast with our President is stark indeed. A clear and rational petition for the safety and existence of his nation and his people.
Small wonder that Obama and the far-left Democrats objected so much to Netanyahu's appeal for the survival of Israel. We get the Cairo speech, and "don't insult Islam".
What's some of the reaction to Netanyahu's speech from the Arab world?
Tzvi Yechezkieli, the Arab affairs expert of Channel 10, said that many Arab commentators supported the content of Netanyahu's speech. He cited a commentator on Al-Arabiya TV, who had said that he could have written a large part of the speech.
Yechezkieli said that the Arab countries are convinced that Obama will not safeguard their security interests in the current negotiations with Iran and will not protect them against Iranian aggression.
The above is not isolated opinion, either. There was this on Bibi's speech at AIPAC:
Yesterday, Faisal J. Abbas, the powerful Editor-in-Chief of Al Arabiya English, published an editorial under the headline: "President Obama, listen to Netanyahu on Iran." Abbas' editorial was a reaction to Netanyahu's speech to AIPAC yesterday.
He wrote: "In just a few words, Mr. Netanyahu managed to accurately summarize a clear and present danger, not just to Israel (which obviously is his concern), but to other U.S. allies in the region."
The Saudi Daily Al-Jazirah published an article written by Dr. Ahmad Al-Faraj, who supported Netanyahu's decision to speak to the U.S. Congress against the upcoming deal with Iran. He called Obama "one of the worst American presidents" and said that Netanyahu's campaign against the deal is justified because it also serves the interests of the Gulf States.
Barack Obama and his fellow travelers seem to be the only ones, aside from Iran, that were critical of the Prime Minister's address.

Israeli News Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike
From Israelnationalnews.com via Drudge.
The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Not for the first time, Carter-era National Security Advisor (and anti-Semite/anti-Israel) Zbigniew Brzezinski advised shooting down Israeli aircraft to prevent them from striking the nuclear facilities of a mortal enemy that has vowed the destruction of the Jewish state. It appears, if this report is true, that Obama actually agreed to such a notion.
Israel is far from a perfect ally, and they can be a thorn in the side of America even at the best of times. But they are the only western-style free democracy in the Middle East. They are also a valuable friend. Conversely, Iran is an oppressive theocracy that has promised the destruction not only of Israel but of the United States, as well. They are a destabilizing force in a strategic region, hostile to American interests and to those of our allies.
That Obama chose to heed the advice of the National Security Advisor of a pathetic weakling of a President speaks volumes (though Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like Bismarck). That he chose to make such a strong threat against an ally rather than our myriad Islamic fundamentalist enemies is positively thunderous. Obama hates American power and influence, just as he does that of Israel and the UK. He is an Islamist sympathizer and a statist communist, just as Rudy Giuliani had the courage to say publicly. Obama is positively hot for a deal with Iran that would cede to them the ability to develop nuclear weapons, which they have promised to use against Israel.
The notion that the US would threaten an ally who wanted to strike Iran would seem preposterous under any other President. I don't know if it is true now, either, but such a thing is much more plausible with an anti-American, anti-Western communist in the White House.
What would have been the effect if Ronald Reagan had made a similar threat and stifled the Osirak strike? Or George W. Bush had threatened Israel into canceling the attack on Syria's nuclear facility in 2007?
There are 600+ days left of this malignant cabal of anti-American ultra-liberals in the Executive Branch. One hopes there remains something resembling the United States of America on Inauguration Day, 2017. And that our credibility and relationships with our allies around the world have not been irreparably damaged. On Tuesday I will listen to Benjamin Netanyahu carefully. I hope others do, too.

Loss of Liberty, One Amendment at a Time
The FCC voted today to make broadband internet a "public utility". A quietly terrible tragedy, the effects of which will be disastrous for our liberties. DaveO at Op-For spells it out superbly.
From 1983 until today, February 26, 2015, America had the freest press the world has ever known because of the free (in terms of controls, not necessarily in cost) the internet. Through Obamacare we have seen the government directly attack the free exercise of religion, and today we have lost the last truly free press. Just like Obamacare, the authors and FCC Chairman ramrodded the s through with zero oversight, zero accountability, and a whole lot of lies to the people. The risk of blogs and the internet informing principled opposition to the Tyranocracy was too much to bear. What next? The Second Amendment?
For those of you who actually believed that control of broadband internet by the same Federal Government that used the IRS and Justice Department to persecute political opponents of Barack Obama and the radical Left had anything to do with "net neutrality", your naïve stupidity in trusting the motives and explanations of this Administration contributed materially to handing control of the last semblance of independent press to the most malignant Presidency in the history of our Republic.
You were warned. But you would rather be willfully blind. And so you shall remain. Let's hear from an expert on censorship:
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?
Make no mistake, Barack Obama believes precisely the same. And forget not that he counts our nation's enemies among his friends, and domestic political opposition as his enemies. He is once again employing his regulatory agencies, and his Führer's Decrees, er, Executive Orders, to make sure we, his enemies, have neither.

The Blaze: Senior State Department Counterterrorism Director Arrested For Allegedly Soliciting Minor
Senior State Department official Daniel Rosen was arrested for allegedly soliciting a juvenile Tuesday afternoon, a Fairfax County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman told TheBlaze.
Rosen, the State Department's director of counter-terrorism, was arrested at his home for the "use of a communication device to solicit a juvenile," sheriff's spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said.
The (LinkedIn) page says he "oversees $300 million per year in CT programs related to Countering Violent Extremism, Anti-terrorism Assistance, Counter-terrorism Financing, Counter-terrorism Engagement and Regional Initiatives. Manages the Office of Plans and Policy including oversight of 20+ personnel."
He also "represents the Office of the Coordinator and the US Department of State in interagency and international meetings, conferences, congressional briefings, and other fora."
…And not a peep could I find on NBC or CNN online news content.
Things that make you go "Hmmmmm".
"If [Daniel Rosen's story] disappears, you know that we are living in a government that is run just like the German government was run in the 1930s, one with the worst kinds of people."
Beck said the nation is in "dire, dire trouble" if the repeated claims that senior State Department officials are soliciting sex with minors are ignored.
But don't worry, now that the government is running the internet, the story of a senior State Department official responsible for counter-terrorism in the Obama Administration soliciting children for sex suddenly disappearing from major online content is much more easily explained. Just ask Lois Lerner.
Especially when white right-wing extremists are the REAL threat.
Bill Clinton was vacationing in the Caymans and could not be reached for comment.

So Let's Let 'Em Have Nukes!
…what a great idea.
After all, just because they conduct naval maneuvers to practice sinking US warships is no reason to think they are hostile toward the United States.
Just like threatening to wipe Israel off the map is no indicator of any latent dislike of our ally. More diplomatic success for our anti-American President.

Is it too late to add remote
gwenfisherNovember 3, 2007
Hello, we converted our fireplace to gas about 5 years ago and purchased a Peterson real-fyre gas log set. At the time we didn't get the remote. We now want to get it... we just went to the "Fireplace"place and we were quoted a price of 500.00. We were told that we should have gotten it at the original time. Is it possible to have it done now, but not at that price. I'd appreciate any advice...
Thank you.

Great stand with minor issues
Vic from Los Angeles, CA
I just built this yesterday. The stand looks fantastic! I am using a Sony 37XBR6 and a PS3. The finish on the base is a polished glossy black. The tower support is metallic sparkling silver. The instructions and screws were very helpful and properly labeled that an amateur can build it with ease. It's extremely stylish and takes up very little room. The tempered glass feels sturdy, and all holes came pre-drilled with perfect precision.
Perfect tv stand
Doh from Ny
Looks modern, easy to assemble but takes a while, bigger than I thought, does not look cheap!
Excellent stand, cable management could be better
Kevin from Rochester, NY
This stand looks excellent and wasn't that difficult to set up. I like how you can position the shelves at whatever height you want. Only issue I've found with it is that the openings in front to stick your cables through (the trunk part is hollow so you can run cables through it) isn't big enough for the plug-end of a cable. It seems like if they had made it just a tad wider it would have been fine. But that's a minor issue and I'm happy with my purchase.
Good product: Cord management is weak
Jim from Oak Park, CA– Verified Buyer
The only issue with this product is where to hide the cords. I suggest that as you assemble the unit and put the devices on the shelf - deal with the cords then making everything the best before you put your heavy HDTV on the stand.

DEFINITION of 'EDGX'
A high-volume trading platform owned by Direct Edge ECN LLC, the third largest market center worldwide. EDGX is a type of electronic communication network (ECN) that allows traders to trade with one another directly on an exchange instead of having to go through a middleman. NYSE Arca, Nasdaq, and BATS are examples of other high-volume ECNs. In 2009, EDGX traded more than 2 billion shares of U.S. cash equity per day.
EDGX charges liquidity takers and rebates liquidity providers. As of 2009, EDGX provides a 0.0025 credit for adding liquidity. The charge for removing liquidity is 0.0028. This structure is appealing to limit traders. Direct Edge also has another ECN platform, EDGA, which does not charge to provide or take liquidity. These costs are important to the bottom line for active traders.
In mid-2009, Direct Edge applied to the SEC to convert the EDGX and EDGA platforms into stock exchanges.

At the faintest radio flux densities (S1.4 < 10 mJy), conflicting results have arisen regarding whether there is a flattening of the average spectral index between a low radio frequency (325 or 610 MHz) and, for example, 1.4 GHz. We present a new catalogue of 843-MHz radio sources in the European Large Area ISO Survey-South 1 field, which contains the sources, their Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) counterparts and the spectral index distribution of the sources as a function of flux density. We do not find any statistically significant evidence for a trend towards flatter spectral indices with decreasing flux density. We then investigate the spectral index distribution with redshift for those sources with reliable redshifts and explore the infrared properties. An initial sample of faint compact steep-spectrum sources in ATLAS are also presented, with a brief overview of their properties.

While production on his Hollywood debut seemed to go completely under that radar, Incendies director Denis Villeneuve is currently putting the finishing touches on his Jake Gyllenhaal-led thriller An Enemy for a 2013 release and it seemed to go well, as his follow-up is barreling ahead with more casting.
Titled Prisoners, the thriller has had a string of talent attached, including Bryan Singer, Antoine Fuqua, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Michael Fassbender and more. But now it has been confirmed that Hugh Jackman will be leading the project and according to a press release, Melissa Leo will join him.
Written by Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband) the story revolves around Keller Dove, a father who abducts and tortures a man he suspects of having kidnapped his daughter and her best friend. No word on who The Fighter star will play yet, but the film sees the father go up against a cop and things unravel from there. Leo makes a fine addition to the ensemble, with likely many more to be announced, and she'll next be seen alongside Denzel Washington in Flight and opposite Tom Cruise in Oblivion.
Production kicks off early next year for a fall 2013 release.

Hey! Hey,
No relation to Ronnie or Johnny Van Zandt.
Has a most interesting life story though and some great songs.His most famous was Pancho and Lefty covered by Merle and Willie!
He's one of those Texas boys that past on fame more or less because of the music he wanted to do.
Born to a well to do family he walked away from that life style also giving his inheritance away!
Just wanted to sing and drink..live life on his terms!
Can't blame a man for that.
Too much drinking and hard drugs did him in early!
Most of his music is about pain and is fairly deep sometime maybe too deep?
But He is some character!
#45965 Aug 22, 2012
I love the way in which you totally twist what I said. I did not say FDR did not help the US come out of the Depression. I just pointed out that it also had its problems. I give him credit for doing a lot for the American people. It just seems some of you want to talk about all the great things which have occurred when there are negatives too. Shall we talk about Jimmy Carter?
Another name caller! Are all democrats immature?

Karnamrita.das's blog
Utilizing the Time of our Lives for the Best Purpose: Appreciating the Value of Prema Part 2
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
[for information about the above painting please visit: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/12406215_jose-maria-romero-the-writers-muse]
My Muse, Sara: Hey, Karnamrita. Haribol! Thanks for publishing part 1. I found it very clear and concise, but I see that you're having problems finishing this series.
Karnamrita: You would know, as by the grace of my gurus and the Lord of my heart, along with prompting from you, I have generally been inspired to write my blogs over the last seven years. However, these days my writing is going slower than usual. I know there must be some reason for this, and so I have been praying for guidance to understand my next step. I have learned that in making spiritual progress we have to practice both elimination of the old, and acceptance of the new, in order that we may grow into our full potential, and not remain stuck in old habits. In this vein, I have a number of possible book ideas that I haven't spent time on. While this is an untried venue for me, it may have a wider audience. What do you think? I am wondering if I should focus more on writing books.
Sara: That is an area to be explored, and I am sure you will gradually know what to do—but for now, why don't you complete part two. I have a few questions which might help you finish. Human life without some type of connection to God through religion or spirituality is similar to animal life in meeting survival needs.
Karnamrita: Your questions would surely help, but should I say anything about you, or not?
Sara: Why not, as the readers may just consider this a writing ploy, or think that it is interesting that you have a muse you can converse with. Anyone who has had to write will at least appreciate the idea and possibility.
Karnamrita: Well, you're usually not that easy to speak with, and mainly give inspiration, but I like the idea of having talks with you, and adding that to my posts. Thank you for helping! In any case, go ahead and ask.
Sara: What is it that causes an ordinary person to take up some type of practice centered around God?

Although we may die at any time in youth or old age, the older one is the more possibility exists that this day will be our last in our current body. Many accounts have been written about the regrets of those on their death beds. Most people don't bemoan their lack of social standing, accumulated money, or accomplishments, but are focused on feelings of regret about how they used their time, or their unresolved conflicts in close relationships. Such unsettled emotions are centered on actions they did, or should have done, words they said, or should have said, etc. Our sense of regret or incompleteness partially makes up our desires which combine with our good and bad deeds to fuel our future births.
In my training in hospice work one service we learned to offer to the dying was to help them make peace with their past, or we could say, to have a life review before death. Eastern religious traditions speak about how at the time of death one experiences a panoramic life review from the soul perspective. This perspective has been strengthened for some people by the convincing testimony of those having near-death experiences. At such a time one can experience what is truly important (according to the level of one's wisdom and guidance), and are reminded that whatever we do comes back to us in kind, and that there is a higher purpose to life than one's personal selfish agenda. Therefore, the time we have in our life is a very valuable asset and needs to be used in the best possible way for the advantage of all. Hierarchies of benefits exist, from levels of material blessings to planes of spiritual obtainment, culminating in prema, or pure love for God.

When I'm Sixty-Four: Aging Gracefully with a Spiritual Purpose--or Not
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
"Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?" - PAUL MC CARTNEY; JOHN LENNON
Sunday June 22, is my 64th birthday. Growing up in the 1960s I naturally remember the Beetle's song, "When I'm Sixty-Four." Yeah, after 44 years of bhakti practice those old songs (and ad jingles!) are still floating around in my subconscious mind. This Beetle's ballad is a love song about staying together despite aging that Paul McCartney wrote at the advanced age of 16. As a person involved in marital and premarital education this is an important topic for me (and my wife of 24 years). When I was 16 I couldn't even imagine being 25, what to speak of 64! I was an only child with very limited experience with older persons. After living in Berkeley, California for a few years and then moving into the temple, when we went to San Francisco for street sankirtan (group chanting), I was taken back seeing all the old people! Berkeley is a college town and I was hanging out with only the young, and when I moved into the temple, the oldest person was 23
In any case, anticipating my birthday, I thought the subject of aging, suffering, and being 64 would be a good blog topic. Of course, most anything can be grist for the writer's mill (we usually notice those things we are focused on), but this one was a natural candidate. Thus I wanted to find the words to the Beetle's song, but before I began my Internet search, my dear friend, Dulal-Chandra Prabhu, sent me the lyrics and wished me a happy birthday. I wished him a happy birthday back, since his birthday is the same as mine—with THE SAME YEAR! How interesting and rare is that—especially among close friends! We celebrated our 60th birthday together, and amidst fun and games, we went around the room to compile a list of shared personality traits and devotional histories. Though we have a number of differences, our wives and friends found an amazing amount of shared traits and experiences.
My general thoughts when writing are to share what I am going through, experiencing, thinking about, or inspired by, in a way that I pray may have relevance to you, my readers. Birth, disease, old age, and death, being shared by all embodied beings, are very rich and important topics. Called the four-fold, or four, miseries of material life, they are listed in the Bhagavad-gita verses (8-12) from the 13th chapter, as part of understanding the process of spiritual knowledge.
Since the soul is eternal and is never born or dies, speaking of these four miseries isn't considered by devotees to be morbid or a topic to avoid in polite conversation.
Uncovering our Soul's Nature in Bhakti: What Have We Signed Up For?
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)There are many ways and varieties of motivations by which people take up the practice of Krishna bhakti, or any path. Whatever way, and for whatever reason, one turns toward God are all good since we all have to begin somewhere on our spiritual journey. Well, we don't have to begin anything. However, the premise of the Vedas and many religious texts is that the ultimate purpose of life is not only understanding our true nature as part of God (and our relationship with Him), but includes putting that knowledge into practice by serving God in pure love with our heart and soul.
In regards to the type of people who come to Krishna, there is no specific type, or class, from the worldly point of view. Anyone can take up the path of bhakti, provided they have the "qualification" of having faith in it. There are many gradations of this faith as we'll discuss. To have faith in bhakti, there has to be some background, or blessings from a saint, or some act of devotional service from this or a previous lifetime, often unconscious (ajnata-sukriti). Observably, externally, we may be born in a devotee family, be attracted to the qualities or looks of the devotees or those in the congregation, or be searching for relief from our suffering; we may love kirtan, the food (prasadam, or mercy), the philosophy, the general spiritual atmosphere, how we feel when we visit, or some combination of reasons with varying mixed motivations. Perhaps we like belonging to a group, being around people from our ethnic background, or are looking for customers for our product or service; or we may be hoping to find a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse, etc. Regardless of one's intent, Krishna bhakti is like fire, and it will eventually act.
However, though there are many indirect reasons that bring us to Krishna, at some point one has to consciously choose to embark on it for its own sake, beyond circumstance, convenience, or to fulfill some material purpose. If we are actually a spiritual seeker—or aspire to be—it behooves us to understand what the ultimate goal of the bhakti path is. This will help us get the most out of our time and endeavor by inspiring us to put our heart into the spiritual practices while praying to have the best motivation. This, in turn, will give us a spiritual vision enthusing us for the long term, beyond any fleeting material reasons that initially brought us.
The Importance of Trained Counselors and Mentors
This last Memorial Day weekend my wife and I attended the 2014 Sadhu Sanga Retreat, located near Boone, NC. Conveniently located only 2 hours plus 15 minutes or so from our house in North Carolina, the retreat center, situated on a high ridge, featured a panoramic view of the surrounding area in a stunning secluded setting. The Vedic style architecture of the facility felt very friendly and appropriate. All the events were held in a spectacularly spacious hall that could comfortably accommodate thousands. While the four day kirtan event was itself enticing for us to attend, we came mainly to promote our Grihastha Vision Team's [GVT's] new book, "Heart and Soul Connection", (which gives tools to improve marital and family relationships) and to invite couples to our September 12-14 couple's retreat in at Gita Nagari, Pennsylvania.
I talked to many devotees throughout the retreat, selling about 70 books. I spoke to spouses having difficulties in their marriages, and to those devotees who were trying to help couples in their communities but didn't have the training to really help counsel them. These conversations reminded me of the critical need in our devotional communities for mental health services, couples counseling, and the training of mentor couples. Temple leaders should have basic training as to when to refer devotees with mental health problems to appropriate professionals and have available trained mentors to help couples having marital difficulties.

Remembering My Mom, and My Shortcomings as a Son, on Her Death Anniversary
May 20th was my mom's death anniversary. Every year I do my best to post something meaningful to honor her, with the intent to prompt you to think about your relationship with your mother and parents so you can ponder its meaning. How has it affected you, your relationship to others, and your spiritual life? I was a bitter young man for many years until I came to realize that my mom did the best she could, and was struggling in a very abusive relationship. Thus with maturity and knowledge I gradually forgave her for leaving me with my dad--I came to find out that he had threatened to kill both of us if she had tried to get custody. He had a gun and a very bad temper, so it didn't seem an idle threat. As I have shared often, when I became a devotee in 1970 and moved into the temple ashram as a monk, I was not very sensitive and thoughtful in my dealings with my mother. While in the ultimate sense we are souls with nothing to do with the body, we still have to deal with our material life responsibly according to our realization--and this certainly includes being kind and understanding to others who aren't on our path, and/or who raised us.
As a lad of 19 years coming from a shallow understanding of the counterculture of everything young and anti-establishment, I had no common sense, or practical experience. Plus I had no wise devotee elders to soften my fanaticism, but only other very young persons to teach me, who although sincere, didn't have a balanced perspective. In general, the culture at that time in the Krishna movement was very black and white--you either lived in the temple, or you were in illusion (maya), and if you were a devotee you were good, and if not, you were bad and to be avoided. In the beginning while we were trying to gain faith and experience in bhakti, this "all or nothing" attitude had some utility, but for most of us, in the long run it wasn't helpful in our relationships and in dealing with the material world. I would, of course, do things much differently now if I could live my life over, but what was done can't be changed. Still, for future generations I write much about my mistakes and immaturity with the hope of educating others.
As an interesting aside, this last weekend my wife and I performed a wedding, and met the parents of the bride and groom. Plus many children and their parents attended,
A Mixed Bag of Material and Spiritual Tendencies
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
While the experience that prompted this free verse poem wasn't planned, it was welcome, and seen as an occasion for reflection. Association with saints is desirable for developing good qualities, and yet being with people in general can also foster our personal and spiritual growth, because in their company who we are as a person is revealed and we may discover part of the spiritual work we have left to do. Anyone can be our teacher if we have the humility to be open to learn, either how to act, or how not to act.
Every day we have the opportunity to learn from life situations, which include dealing with or observing others, whether at work, running errands, attending school or college, or interacting with our family and friends. While it is essential to learn about others, in relationship to them we will learn much about ourselves since people are mirrors in which we project our ideals or see our faults. From another angle of vision, Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also considers our heart a mirror. This mirror is covered by the dust of our conventional (physical) ego and material conditioning which obscures our spiritual nature (soul). In all our dealings we can pray to remember that we are all souls having a physical experience and in this way part of the same spiritual family.
When we have made the decision to give our life to the pursuit of loving and serving Krishna, our life is forever changed. This is true in spite of our inability to walk the path in the most ideal way. To help us have a humble attitude we can remember our life before we began the spiritual quest, or that we all begin life in ignorance. We should know and remember the spiritual goal, and where we are on the map of our spiritual journey, in order to adapt the path to our unique life situation. This is why practical guidance from experienced, mature teachers can be so valuable. Personally, I continually return to my spiritual roots to deal with the ups and downs of life. I do my best to be spiritually fixed, but if I am unable to, I still feel a hand helping me up if I extend mine up to accept assistance. I am on the path for the long haul and know I need help to stay the course.
Being Open to Learn Through Humility: Part 2 "The Glory of Humility, and Pride Precedes a Fall"
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
We continue exploring what could be called the "glory of humility" in this blog with an emphasis that pride precedes a fall. I find much to celebrate about someone who is modest in their attitude, yet competent, and—or—hardworking and sincere. Such a person shines in whatever they do, whether as a great leader, or street sweeper. Even though you won't find humility or modesty listed on the qualities desired for a job applicant, this quality has always been appreciated, and even more so today since modesty seems extremely rare—even quaint, or archaic to some.
Part of humility is also being authentic and honest in our life—or in our conditioned identity, work, and family, etc., neither vainly proud, nor full of self-loathing. Being authentic means being a balanced human being with a good understanding of one's nature and a feeling of dependence on God. Unfortunately with the decline of good families and spiritual values many children are raised with glaring deficiencies and poor attitudes that as adults they try to over compensate for. I speak from experience.
With television, magazines, and frenzied social media all hungry for sensational stories, coupled with a busy population awash in (mis)information and infinite entertainment distractions, a "sound bite culture" has been created without much depth, but with much money invested in promoting it. Fame, though still rare, may be easily conferred on someone for insignificant reasons, and is often pursued for its own sake, rather than given, unsought, as an acknowledgement for special skills or good qualities.
On the other hand, persons who do have the advantages of beauty, wealth, social position, or acting or athletic ability, can be full of pride, conceit, boasting, or unwarranted audaciousness. Those in the limelight have special responsibilities because, as the Gita teaches us
Being Open to Learn Through Humility: Part 1
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so if you don't want to listen, mute your speakers.)
I had the good fortune Sunday to spend time with a devotee friend and neighbor, along with her two visiting daughters—one out of college and looking for work, the other, soon to finish high school and already accepted at a college of her choice. I love to share my experiences and what I have found is valuable with others—anyone who is interested to hear and discuss—but especially to devotee young adults and teens. In my life growing up, and later as a devotee, I suffered for want of wise elder guidance, and basically had to wing it by trail and err.
Though my life has worked out well in many ways, I feel I could have had more skills to help others and be further along spiritually had I had help. Admittedly, we all have our personal journey and ways we are given to learn our own lessons (even with guidance) through personal experience and trying various endeavors. Never the less, I know that having supportive, kind, and experienced mentors can make one's path more fruitful, one's decisions better informed—if one is willing to listen. Remembering my own lack of guidance I feel inspired to share what I have learned in life, both my mistakes and successes. This is one reason I write, and in this case, enjoyed speaking to our guests.
I found the young ladies to be very open-hearted and humble. This caused me to think about the importance of humility on our lives. I have written a fair bit about this, as has my wife, but today I am looking at humility as a means of being open and grateful, and how there is real, and shadow humility. I shared with my two young friends that my behavior as a young devotee appeared to many to be humble, or unassuming, and I was willing to do almost anything. However, as I learned in my thirties, my so-called "humble" attitude was more a result of being beaten down by agents of the material energy as well as feeling bad about myself than arising from any spiritual understanding.
Leaving Aside, or Letting Go, of the Unessential
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player is needed; works best with Firefox or Explorer; if you are using Google Chrome it will automatically play, so to not listen, mute your speakers.)
This morning, after rising, folding up my sleeping bag, and taking care of some natural necessities, I read some of Shri Chaitanya's lila in Chaitanya Bhagavat. Such a nectar book of spiritual delight! Regular reading of scripture is one of my benchmarks for a successful day. I read about Lord Chaitanya's (so-called) "birth," heralded by the resounding chanting of the holy names, which was the custom during a lunar eclipse; how child Chaitanya, or Nimai, would cry and only stop when the ladies chanted the holy name; how mischievous he was as he grew older; how two thieves tried to take him away to steal his ornaments only to find themselves back in front of Nimai's house; and how Nimai revealed his divinity to a visiting Vaishnava holy man staying with his family. These are very sweet lilas (pastimes), full of deep meaning, and providing me a great way to begin my day!
I have had continual interruptions, or necessary duties, in my regular attempt to write. Writing is a joy for me, but also a discipline; even though I find the effort relishable, setting priorities is required to make it happen—as we must, in the accomplishment of any valuable goal. Those who are devotees of a particular manifestation of God, or who have a spiritual orientation, will see the value of hearing about the activities of the Lord or great saints, and yet they are often understandably less interested in sharing about their own lives. However, everyone's life is full of important lessons and inspiring events. We only need the right attitude to see this played out as we generally see what we are looking for. This is one of the reasons I write about my life—to show that even a regular person who is trying to live a devotional life has much of value to share. "Ordinary" or "extraordinary" are labels from a state of mind. We notice what we value, so what is going on in your life, right in front of you, that may be trying to get your attention?

Having the pleasure of watching their relationship bud and bloom into what it is today has been wonderful. They truly are two of the best people we know!
When we got the invite to their wedding in Jamaica we were thrilled! Money was tight, but we had time to try and "figure it out"
The date was quickly approaching and my hubs had gotten a new job. Which was great for our family, but not great for taking vacation time off. I was pretty bummed that we weren't going to be able to celebrate a beautiful event with our good friends, but was reassuring myself that this is just the way it is.
A week before they were set to leave they threw a party for all friends and family who could not attend. It was so fun. During the midst of mingling and socializing I over-hear a conversation with hubs and another good friend asking if we could park at his house in the morning and all ride to the airport together....
It takes a sec for it to sink in...I first think he must be traveling for work and I had the weeks mixed up...but then I realize he said, "we."
Obviously, I say, "wait, what?!"
We were, in fact, going to JAMAICA!!
The events that followed happened quickly, with tears of surprise, excitement and joy!
We were all hugging, every one was shocked. My parents, all our friends, every one. The only one who knew was hubby's mom.
Hubs had booked the vacation in June when we got the invite. His words were, "I told y'all, we are great friends, of course we wouldn't miss your big day and I would make this happen."
He negotiated the vacation in with his new job during the hiring process.
Probably the best surprise I have ever had! and I hate surprises.
Luckily I still had a week to plan...thank goodness.
The morning of vacation we got up super early and headed to the airport. Again luckily I had time to plan because we were flying Spirit Air. I won't go into full detail, that would be a whole other story, but if you are every flying Spirit Air be sure to do you research. All normal baggage rules DO NOT apply. Everything has a fee and you better pay it before you get to the airport to avoid more fees.
So now for the good stuff....
The pictures...
I will preface this by saying this is the most beautiful place I have ever been! I am definitely a beach over mountains girl, so this was my paradise! (with bonus mountains in the background)
The people were so unbelievably amazing. The answer to everything was, "Ya Mon! you can do whatever you want here, you are home."
When we landed at the airport, the anticipation was killing me. We had to walk though customs and claim our baggage, get our passports checked and explain our reasons for visiting. The process was pretty quick, the airport was not very big.
In most cases if you book through a travel agency (we did cheapcaribbean.com) or any budget sites like Orbitz, Expedia, etc, they have a help/information desk and provide transportation to your destination.
The bus driver even gives a little history lesson of the town and streets on the way.
It was when we pulled up to the resort that the real magic started happening.
The gates open slowly and you can almost here the heavenly "ahhhhhhhhhh" sound.
You are escorted into the lobby and greeted by a friendly Jamaican.
In our case our room wasn't ready, but that didn't matter.
The place was all inclusive. and I mean ALL! Food, drinks (with alcohol) non-motorized water sports and access to everything on the grounds.
Only because there was confusion between our group, I want to clarify that if you are staying at St James or the Wild Orchid you have access to both resorts. Both are Secrets and they are connected.
You meet at the same restaurants, see the same shows, can visit all the bars and swim in all the pools.
The only exception was the preferred guests. They had a separate pool area and a tub on their balcony. We did walk through that area on the wedding day to take pictures and it seemed that everyone congregated at the main pools anyway. That's where all the action and fun activities happened throughout the day.
So back on point...
We headed to the pool bar because it was the first one we walked up to. On the plane ride we discussed which crazy frozen drink we were going to order first, but when the smiling bartender asked, the hubs clammed up and said "a beer." lol The question back was, "Do ya want rum in it, Mon?" hahaha , what? no. (although a few in the group did try it once on the trip)
We got a quick bite at the poolside restaurant and headed back to see our room.
It was magnificent! and the view....for. get. about. it.
I know, I couldn't believe it either. Perfect.
I could go on and on about the view alone, but a picture says a thousand words...
We met up with the bride and groom shortly after down by the pool side bar again. Obviously, we had to have a toast! And obviously we included our bartender!
We took a little stroll around the jetties and pools to check out the views. Because of the previous rains we had a wonderful sunset.
There was forecast for rain during our trip, which really bummed out some of the wedding party.
But...being from Florida we had hoped the storms where the same as ours...a quick, hard rain, then back to beautiful, sunshiny days.
We were in luck! The days it did rain, it came and went within an hour.
One morning we were even blessed with a beautiful sunrise rainbow!
Being stuck on a kid schedule definitely had its perks when I opened the curtains to that scene.
The wedding was in the middle of the week and it was so perfect. There were several choices of which place to have your ceremony and I think they chose the most beautiful. Right under that gazebo, overlooking the ocean and the mountains. It was a sunny, breezy afternoon. Couldn't have been more picturesque.
This motion picture of the bride and I pretty much sums up our entire trip (minus the fancy wedding dress, sub in bathing suits and cover-ups)
Fun, fun, good times, hanging with friends, smiles, laughs and more fun.
We drank A LOT of frozen drinks. :) In my hand is a dirty banana. In my opinion the most delicious drink EVER! It was the theme drink of the week. We even named our pool Olympics team 'Tony boney and the Dirty Bananas'. Refreshing, nutritious (?) and RUM! Who could ask for more? In fact, one day while were where hanging out in the pool at one of the swim up bars the groom commented, "I have drank more frozen drinks here than I have ever drank in my WHOLE life. lol" And that's saying a lot because most of us at some point or another have been involved in or are still working in the bar and restaurant industry.
There were several restaurants including Italian, French, Mexican, Hibachi (Japanese) and, of course, Jamaican. We hit them all. Mixed in the restaurant circle was a Piano Bar and nightly entertainment over looking the water. There was even a Night Club.
While the wedding was the highlight, we did other fun things daily.
My personal favorite was snorkeling. We did this almost every morning at 9am after breakfast. Even if I could have taken pictures, I'm certain they wouldn't do any justice. The feeling of floating around in the salt water seeing all the beautiful life just off the beach was breathtaking. It really was the greatest way to start the day! Better than the delish Blue Mountain coffee or mimosas offered at breakfast. Each trip out I was just as in awe as I was the day before. I don't think that could ever get old. Even the guys who took us on the "tour" every morning seemed to get the same thrill. The water was so blue and the fish so brilliant. I would recommend no one miss out on this island experience.
We met lots of great staff members, too. Every single one of them with a smile. Not because they had to, because they are a happy people. Fantastic to be around!
Mr Brown was a part of the lawn crew and walked the beach every morning. Since my hubs like to walk the beach as well, the two ended up chatting often.
The outside bars opened around 10 am (island time is definitely not an exact science) and stayed open late into the night.
they had SWINGS!
Some where on the outskirts and some where right up at the rail.
We met cool people from not only all over the U.S. but all over the WORLD (we had the best time with the Aussies (duh, Aussies are awesome! oi oi oi)).
It was nice just hanging, chatting and catching up with our close friends. With two kids uninterrupted, adult conversations don't happen all that often.
The place was immaculate and the rooms where beautiful. I think I forgot to mention the soaker, jetted tub that I used every day and the 24 hour room service. Just in case you didn't feel like dining at one of the classy restaurants, you could always order in. Which we did on more then one occasion... (a few late night club sandwiches, too)
Since I'm having a hard time summing up our experience, let me just say that I would highly recommend Secrets Montego Bay for your Jamaican destination vacation
I can't stress enough how wonderful the Jamaican hospitality is! Such a happy, laid back place with happy, go lucky people.
Just perfect.
Looking back at the pictures, I still can't believe I was in such a paradise.
Best gift/surprise/wedding/celebration/vacation EVER! and to spend it with a lot of our closest friends and great people....priceless.
And how crazy to think...we didn't even leave the resort.
Until next time...
We miss you Jamaica, but we will be back!

The spa was amazing. Felt so pampered and rested after being in there. Loved the whole spa experience
Restaurant is now called El Churrasco Steak house and décor is totally different to that shown on the picture.
Me and my boyfriend are only a young couple and like to try different restaurants and eat well but can honestly say this is one of the poshest places we've been to! Don't know if that's a good thing or not!...
Tried this Steak-House for the first time.Waiters rushed us as soon as we sat down.
The menu is confusing and also, the prices are for steak only. If you want veg/sauces they charge extra euros on top of the steaks which vary from 18-40 euros.
We had some small rolls put on our table which we thought would be complimentary...
Nice views of the sea and good lunchtime snacks at a reasonable price.Good selection of drinks and sun or shade.
We had made a reservation with name and room number. In the evening nothing was reserved and the apologise was just a gesture.
The meny looked great and we wanted to try a new item: Charcol Pork Steak. But it was served raw and bloody. The meat was unable cut with an ordynary knife. We made a complaint and the...
We were staying in the hotel next door.
This hotel you cannot ignore ! The outside is so elaborate and with people popping there heads over there huge pool to look out at the sea, curiosity got the better of us. Off we headed to investigate.........
It really is big and glitzy. With huge columns, comfy large sofas and large...
Wow beautiful hotel just drips of luxury! We wern't staying there just went for cocktails.Now booked for a week in May!!!
El Churasco delivered entrees, steaks, wine and a desert for under 90 Euros. Where I live, you would get half as much for double the price. My Argentinian entrecote was large, good quality and cooked to my liking. I would visit again, for sure.
The place is nicely done and service was fine. Shame the evening meal means the view...
locaed within the lopesan CM also opened to non resident. Meat restaurant, expensive. staff a bit rude. you can charge on your room account. Bad service.

The admissions director of a college/university is in charge of overseeing the process in which prospective students are admitted to the institution to study. The admissions director works to ensure that the students added to an institution's student body are those that best reflect the values of the school and will have the highest probability of successfully earning a diploma.Read More...
The admissions director uses advanced metrics to determine the number of students the university may add to their incoming student body, based on expected graduations, transfers, and other departures from the school's programs. The director then scales the criteria for potential new students based upon the available space, while also staying mindful of the academic requirements set by the college's registrars and education boards. In many cases, the admissions director will also reach out to high schools and academies to make them aware of the educational opportunities available at their university, as the director is typically charged with helping attract the best and brightest students to their institution.
To work as an admissions director, a person must typically possess at least a master's degree in an educational discipline or similar field. Typically, a candidate for this position has extensive practical experience in a university admissions department. An admissions director works in an office environment in an academic setting. As part of school outreach programs, a person in this position should expect to engage in travel as part of the job.
Survey results suggest that College Admissions Directors put a wide range of professional skills to use. Most notably, facility with Customer Relationship Management, Sales Management, and Recruiting are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 42 percent, 14 percent, and 11 percent, respectively. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Leadership. Most people who know Strategic Planning also know Project Management and Sales Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for College Admissions Directors — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $53K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $64K. For College Admissions Directors, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $72K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $76K.

Trusting The Process
Tiger Woods' pedestrian opening-round 71 Thursday at the Masters left him 6 strokes behind leader Rory McIlroy ... but TW isn't sweating it. Highlights Feeling good? 'Absolutely' Scores »TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images
