East Village, Manhattan, NYC
To many of us, the "art world" seems impenetrable - somewhat rigid or unwelcoming. New York nonprofit Slideluck Potshow breaks those barriers, offering an egalitarian way to engage in the arts community - a place where famed artists like Chuck Close or Gregory Crewdson can show alongside an unknown painter or amateur photographer. Founder and Director Casey Kelbaugh mashed up the words "Slideshow" and "Potluck" to name this event where community members gather to share their own artwork in a slideshow and the cost of admission is a dinner dish.
In recent years, Kelbaugh and Carly Planker, Slideluck's Producer, have broadened their focus beyond traditional Slideluck Potshows to other events that maintain the community-building focus and fun atmosphere. On May 19th, New York will be host to another one of their events - but this time it is bike themed. With bicycle-based entertainment, photobooths and unlimited food and drinks, the evening is going to be tons of fun.
We sat down at Kelbaugh's dining room table to chat about the upcoming bike show, read a passage from David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries and find out a bit more about how Slideluck grew from a backyard to a worldwide network of creatives and foodlovers. Here is our conversation.
How is the bike show different from the traditional slideluck model?
Carly Planker: The place we're having this event is the Hostelling International Flagship, it's a really big, old building in Harlem. The Five Boro Bike Tour used to start there. Hostelling International used to be a sort of biking based hostel organization. They would encourage "bike and beds," with hostels in locations around the city where you would bike for a day to reach the next hostel, bike for another day and get to the next one. So they have a history of cycling. Hostelling international has a really cool backyard space and a patio – it seemed like the perfect space to have an outdoor event.
Casey Kelbaugh: I've been riding my bike every day for 8 years in New York, but I've probably never ridden more than 5 miles in a day, because I just use it to get around. There are many reasons why I think biking is fantastic… specifically in New York. It's such a logical grid system, it's flat, and nothing is very far.
CP: You get everywhere twice as fast.
CK: Yes, and it's environmentally positive. You're outside in the middle of the street, so you can really see what's going on around you and you get to learn the city so much better than going underground and popping up somewhere else.
What do you think about the bike culture in New York vs. other cities?
CK: At our event in Amsterdam, for example, I'd say about 90 % of people showed up on their bikes, with their potluck dish in a basket on the front of their bike.
CP: And a friend on the back of the bike.
CP: I think the big difference between a city like New York and a city like Amsterdam is respect and acceptance of bicycles. Bikes are the top dogs in Amsterdam, where in New York cars are definitely the most respected vehicles.
CK: I'm very excited about the new bike share program in New York. Last Monday it was announced that CitiBank was donating millions of dollars to a bike share program in New York like they have in Paris. So 600 bike pick-up locations around the city will be installed. Thousands of bikes, and it's not going to cost the taxpayers a dime. It's incredible! (Details here)
When is that going to be implemented?
CK: As soon as July! So that's going to completely change the game here.
CP: As soon as more people ride bikes, bikes start being respected around the city.
CK: Bike culture in New York is so vast, I don't really feel like I'm part of it.
CP: I think there are specific niches of New York bike culture. Biking in Brooklyn is very different than biking to work in Manhattan.
CK: We're trying to weave all these niches together for the show. We've been pretty successful so far – we've got hardcore racers, messengers, BMX biking, our friend runs the Red Hook Crit, which is this amazing, illegal bike race. Well it's not illegal anymore, but it was when we first covered it for the NY Times. It's become one of the most important races on the east coast, but it's in the middle of the night in Red Hook, it used to be just on the cobblestones so people would hit cars, etc. But now it's a lot more established. They're helping us organize a group ride leaving from Prospect Park at 4 pm, where there's the Great GoogaMooga, a big food fair. We'll connect with a stop in the Lower East Side around Chrystie and Houston, and then as a group we'll go up the West Side Highway to get to the space in Harlem.
If you're encouraging people to bike there, are you embracing sweaty individuals too?
CP: Yeah! I mean that's part of my problem with biking. I get frizzy and sweaty.
CK: You have to pace yourself! But I'm guilty of that too, I guess.
I know that you've had a lot of high profile submissions in different events. And there is a piece with Zeitgeist films and Bill Cunningham in the upcoming Bike Show. Do you think including well-known artists changes the vibe of the show?
CP: Well I think that it's a mix, and that's what SLPS is about... mixing work from people who might be amateur level with professionals. Showing the work together is part of the community building aspect. Being able to show both side by side, having both artists hopefully come to the show, is something that's always been cool about Slideluck.
CK: It's meant to be very egalitarian in that way. But to be clear, we're showing a clip from the documentary that's about Bill Cunningham.
CP: Peloton Magazine is going to publish one of the artists from the Bike Show – the issue they sent us includes a manifesto about cycling, and about the psychological aspect. There's a healing aspect to movement.
CK: Here, let me read something. We do a lot of sitting around this table and reading… usually we all cook lunch together and then sit around the table and read. Right now we're reading Sloane Crosley's I Was Told There'd Be Cake. Ok anyway, this is from David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries:
"I myself find that the physical sensation of self-powered transport coupled with the feeling of self-control endemic to this two wheeled situation is nicely empowering and reassuring, even if temporary, and it is enough to center me for the rest of the day.
It sounds like some form of meditation, and in a way it is. Performing a familiar task, like driving a car or riding a bicycle, puts one into a zone that is not too deep or involving. The activity is repetitive, mechanical, and it distracts and occupies the conscious mind, or at least part of it, in a way that is just engaging enough but not too much—it doesn't cause you to be caught off guard. It facilitates a state of mind that allows some but not too much of the unconscious to bubble up. As someone who believes that much of the source of his work and creativity is to be gleaned from those bubbles, it's a reliable place to find that connection. In the same way that perplexing problems sometimes get resolved in one's sleep, when the conscious mind is distracted the unconscious works things out."
CK: I like that link to creativity.
Anything else you can add about the Bike Event?
CK: Three people actually came out of the woodwork and told us they'd like to perform at the event.
CP: One of them is a group who does, what they call, "water ballet on bikes." I'm not quite sure how that's going to work, but the other one is more of a typical bike performance.
CK: What is a typical bike performance?
CP: I don't know! Involving a unicycle? We're just looking forward to having people entertain us.
CK: We're borrowing an old tandem bicycle and we're going to have it on a backdrop and do a photobooth.
CP: And we'll probably have either live music or a DJ. It's hard to communicate on Facebook on a flyer what we're really doing. But I mean, if you go you pay $10 for unlimited food and unlimited beer. We'll also be raffling off a ton of great stuff – we're selling tickets for $2 for a bike raffle.
How many cities have you hosted events in?
CK: This year alone we have been to Amsterdam, Boston, Baltimore, Washington DC, London, Philidelphia, Barcelona and Berlin. But I think we've been to about 50 cities total, and we have a lot of new cities in the works right now. Pittsburgh, Dublin, Tucson, Oklahoma city. We have requests from Dallas, Vancouver… It's kind of a never ending story.
So are you present at most of these events?
CK: We've been present at most of the launches, but this year we're experimenting a little bit with letting them hold the event on their own.
So how much production goes into an event that you're going to launch in a different city?
CP: A lot of the shows are facilitated through this office. The city has its own team that is collaborating with artists and setting up the space, but we are just providing them with a structure within which they will build their event to match our brand model.
CK: They're like chapters. There are probably 250 people involved in organizing SLPS around the world, but our main team is really small – it's just Carly and myself, Simone who is a part time webmaster and two interns.
How many submissions do you typically get per event?
CK: It depends. The Bike Show was very specific and kind of unusual for us, so we got fewer submissions.
CP: But the quality was really high. When you choose a theme, you're eliminating a lot of people. But the New York shows typically get a lot of submissions.
CK: For other shows with less specific themes we probably get up to a hundred or two hundred submissions.
What is your editing or reviewing process like?
CK: It depends. Sometimes we curate, sometimes there is a local curator or we co-curate it, sometimes we do it here. We look for range, diversity and different styles and genres.
Do you feel that SLPS has become kind of a ritual?
CP: I think it becomes a ritual within cities because people come again and again. Also, I think when SLPS starts in a new city it kind of builds its own identity there. Each team in different cities has its own way of approaching the event. Some emphasize the food aspect, some have stronger art aspects and food is more of an after thought. In Amsterdam, for example, both the art and the potluck are really intense. People cook really great food and the slideshow is very curated. It's one of the only shows that I've worked on where, even though it is not themed, the curator's vision is definitely clear.
How does the location of an event contribute to themes or styles?
CK: This specific location, for the bike show, is perfect for a spring, outdoor event. It's a big grassy court. The building is very regal.
CP: When you did the event in 2010 at the Brooklyn bridge park the theme was "Bridges." The slideshow was in the old tobacco warehouse, which doesn't have a roof, and you were under the Brooklyn bridges.
CK: Right. We try to keep the themes really open so they can be attacked from many different angles. So when Obama was running for President we did "Change," and we've also done "Family," "Patterns," "Stakes," and "Grace"…. Last year when it was the Arab Spring we did "Upheaval."
Which themes have attracted the highest responses?
CK: London just did a show about gender and identity. That got a great response.
CP: And also a very high level of work. They had to turn down a lot of great artists.
CK: They could have done two shows.
How did you first come up with the idea for SLPS?
CK: Well, it started at the beginning of my photo career. I like to cook, and I was frustrated that there wasn't a place to get feedback or show your work to friends. Everyone seemed isolated in studios and darkrooms, but I knew a lot of creative people. So we decided to just have a potluck and show a slideshow of our work. There was a really great response – about 50 people squeezed into a tiny little side yard. And it grew very organically over many years. For the first 3 or 4 years SLPS was just a little hobby. And then, once I moved to New York, it sort of took on a life of its own. There was so much thirst for authentic outlets for engagement.
It struck me that New York was the place were SLPS took off, because I don't see it as a place where people are especially interested in community building activities.
CK: I didn't think New York could get with a potluck either, but I was wrong. Keep in mind, this was before TED, it was before Pecha Kucha, it was before all these other things. So I think it was really a novel concept – getting people together and sharing their work in short form. Once we started getting attention in New York, started asking to bring SLPS to their city or town.
Have any artists that have shown their work come back and told you they've had really amazing feedback or really great opportunities because of involvement in SLPS?
CK: Definitely. I mean, people have gotten gallery representation, have gotten jobs.
CP: People have actually gotten married after meeting at Slideluck.
CK: There's been a lot of good connections made, but that's not something we track. It's a by-product of the event.
Where did SLPS expand to after New York? Was there a specific point when the network got really big?
CK: All the expansion has been by request. We don't just decide we want to go to a city. There have been a few times that we have pushed to hold an event in a particular city and it doesn't work. There has to be demand or else it seems like people from New York imposing something. After New York we went to DC, LA and Barcelona. It's all about having a healthy, vital, communicative team in each city. But they come and go. We had this fantastic, dynamic team in Chicago for a long time and then people gradually got married or moved away and now the team is almost gone.
You guys are in such a great position, being able to orchestrate these events without having to directly control them.
CL: It's definitely collaborative. We try to pass the power off as much as we can.
CP: Some people want as much advice and support as you could possibly imagine giving them, and then other people just pull off an incredible event without much help. Those Europeans… some of them are really organized. But in Berlin, for example, a girl from Mississippi has been running SLPS for the past three years.
CK: It's a very friendly, inviting environment. It still has the same vibe as it did in my backyard. It's not fancy or super high-brow.

Sandra Marks
No one likes to cut a budget, especially when it's his or her own. But when it comes to planning a remodeling project, homeowners must establish a realistic budget . . . and actively manage it.
Preparing for a remodeling project is a lot like preparing to buy a car. You may know the room and style you want, but the options you choose may drive the price higher than you can reasonably afford. But there are ways to stretch the remodeling budget and end up with stylish results within budget.
Browsing the kitchenware aisle in any department store, it's easy to stray into a cluttered mindset and from there, a cluttered kitchen. Trendy single-use gadgets or designer pan sets are a sure road to a clogged kitchen and they won't make you a better cook.
When establishing centers in the kitchen, think "less is more" and limit each center to the bare-bones tools necessary to do the job.

Order more than you need!February 10, 2011
I was very excited about these beads when I got them, as the color is a very rich reddish, rusty copper. I had a specific project in mind for them too, but when I started the work, I noticed that many of the beads had holes in the finish that looked like popped air bubbles. Over 20% of the package was culled, so be sure to order more than you need. I was, however, very pleased with my finished piece, as these beads have a nice iridescent finish.

My Faceless Friend.
Thank you, my faceless friend, for all you've done for me, and know that I'll always love you :)
When does 'just a friend' become something more?
How does someone you've never seen become
More than the world, someone you would die for?
How can someone with no face, at least none
That I can see, move my iron heart so?
How can typed words console me in a way
That spoken words will never ever know?
Can a faceless friend know just what to say?
I don't know when he became someone more,
I don't know why he has stayed by my side,
I don't know since when I'd die for him,
I don't know why he typed the words he'd typed.
All I know is that, My Dear Faceless Friend,
I love you, til the very very end.

If life had been a little kinder to Taniela Moa and if he in turn had been a little tougher on himself then perhaps he would have been at this Rugby World Cup in a different guise.
Instead of being Tonga's enigmatic talisman Moa, a vastly slimmer one at least, could have been the creative talent the All Blacks are lacking in their halfback stocks.
Moa is an outrageous talent; gifted beyond the norm and freakishly capable. He's never done dull and it was his potential to conjure opportunities that didn't exist that saw him earn an All Black call-up in 2008.
It was a precautionary selection - Moa joined the squad in South Africa amid an injury crisis at halfback but never saw any frontline action. Despite his non-involvement he was obviously close to cracking the big time, certainly a prospect the All Blacks were monitoring. He was 23 - a key member of the Blues and a player whose potential seemed infinite.
But as quickly as he rose, Moa fell from a great height. One day he was being quizzed by the media about a meteoric rise to fame; almost the next he was being quizzed by the police about why he had thrown a bottle at a woman at the Marist Rugby Club in Ellerslie. In the space of nine months, everything had gone wrong for Moa.
Almost an All Black in August 2008, his form disappeared as part of a memorably bad Blues campaign in 2009. By April his personal life was shattered by a relationship break-up shortly after the birth of his first child - the pain of which he was trying to drown in alcohol the day he threw the bottle.
From being within touching distance of the summit, Moa's rope was cut.
His weight climbed, his form dropped further and by the end of the year he was no longer wanted by either the Blues or Auckland. A star of both the New Zealand Secondary Schools and Under-21 teams, Moa was in danger of kissing it all good-bye before his 25th birthday.
What hope was there for a player whose conditioning was shot and whose reputation was in tatters? Moa had raw talent that could win games but his propensity to try the impossible was more likely to lose them.
Yet somehow he's managed to haul himself off the canvas. He joined the Bay of Plenty last year and scored some spectacular tries.
His game was never perfect but the mistakes were fewer and the Chiefs signed him in the hope they could further separate the wheat from the chaff in his game. He had a reasonable campaign which piqued the interest of Tonga and against the odds, he has fulfilled a dream of playing at the World Cup.
He'll always carry that element of what might have been but he's given himself ample reason not to be full of regret. He's been one of the better halfbacks on show at this World Cup.
He's played against the All Blacks and France and it has in fact turned out to be a blessing that he never actually made an appearance for New Zealand back in 2008. That would have killed his opportunity to play for Tonga; killed his opportunity to impress the offshore market.
Moa is now on the verge of signing for French club Pau and Tonga captain, Finau Maka, who has played most of his career in France, believes the powerful halfback has what it takes to thrive in one of the toughest leagues.
"I think he's going to sign with Pau," said Maka. "He's more of a player like Byron Kelleher in that he loves the physical contact and that side of the game rather than someone like Morgan Parra who is more of a passer.
"I think he'll do all right in France."

Does anyone know what Gaeilge is? It is a language, a not so beautiful language of Ireland! Why the hell is it call gaelige when Ireland speaks English or it can be called somthing easier like "Irish"? As part of my teaching cousre, I have to attend 4 hours of Gaelige in order to understand what a beginner learner feels and what a good language teacher is....It is not an easy language and defintely not a poopular one, according my Irish friend John!
My 1st Teaching Class
Teacher Ip is finally in action today! I taught a class of Czech students! I'm not gonna bore you with the technical aspect of irregular past tense. hehe...... It was my first close encounter with Czech people and it was great. Usually you usualy walk out of the class thinking you can do better. I think the same too, but I am quite pleased with my performance today overall. There were minor hiccups and confusion but everything was under control. I hope they enjoyed the BINGO game... :)
I am espcially glad when I walked round the class, they were not afraid to ask me questions. David (my course director) said it's because they trusted me. Yea! Not a bad start afterall.....

Storage Shed - Buy or Build
I have been looking at Lowe's wood storage sheds. Now, admittedly, they are kind of pricey, but I would imagine they would go up pretty fast. So I am weighing buying a "prefab" or buying the materials and building myself.
If you bought a prefab, what has your opinion been? Would you do it again or build from scratch? If you've built from scratch (looking to build a 10x12 or so on this end), was it a nightmare?
I have reasonable carpentry skills and a book with some plans.
Kind of general, I know, but looking for generalized feedback!
Whether it's a nightmare to build your own will depend a lot on the design you choose. A shed roof is pretty simle to make. It gets more intricate with gable and gambrel setups.
It's a pretty straight forward project. Just be aware of any setback rules in your area as well as taxable concerns based on the build. Some locales, like mine, require a permit.
I have always looked at it like this, whatever money I save by doing it myself I spend on tools I need(want), that's what I tell my wife.
The only "prefab" shed I'd buy is the "forever shed" or whatever they call it. Basically it's a fancy term for plastic and the reason is that when I move I can take it down in an hour and bring it with me.
I guess it depends on your needs and your comfort level with building. A pre-fab shed will travel with you to your next house more easily than a home-made one.
I had kind of an unusual space to put extra storage along my house (and on top of the wider part of my driveway), so building my own was pretty much the only way to go.
Jack,nice job!
Build it yourself. You can probably double your square footage for the same price. Also my theory is, never build a shed to the minimal size you can live with, cause it's never enough. Added another 25% at least you'll thank yourself later.
I'm not a professional., But I did stay at Holiday Inn Express last night.
I had zero carpentry skills and tools, so I bought the prefab "stratford" model 12x8 from Lowes. For me the biggest challenge was digging/leveling the footings for winter frost heave. Other than having two 7 yr olds hold up the long wall while I drilled it in (I used screws rather than the provided nails) I did the whole thing myself. ( small woman).
So far its gone through a winter and lots of high wind storms and it has held up well and looks great. I'd do it again
I say build it from scratch. I did my own build with supplies purchased at home depot, a couple new and a couple borrowed tools. 12'x10' and 14' tall with a gable roof. This thing is SOLID.
I spent about $1500 after you factor in the tools I bought (two new saws, some blades, a level, etc.) and the exterior trim work I did to make it look nice.
I have a total of about $850 in the shed, and would build from scratch again before I'd buy a pre-fab. My reasons are:
1. I would have had to take down part of my fence to bring a pre-built one in.
2. I built what I wanted, which included a 3' overhand on one side, under which I stack wood.
3. I used better materials than are used in most pre-fabbed sheds. For instance, I used 7/16th sheeting UNDER the siding, rather than using the siding as the sheeting. I also used higher-end shake-type shingles.
This is a picture of the shed, before I put the doors on. I'm satisfied.
That's a sweet shed! What type of door did you put in? Rollup?
I bought a used 6x6 steel garage door, got it about 90% installed, and admitted that there simply wouldn't be enough clearance without cutting into rafters. So I pulled it out, sold it, and installed regular swing-out doors. I wish I had a picture of it with the doors on, but I don't.
1 Attachment(s)
if you have some basic framing skills you should build it from scratch. i did a price comparison between the kits at home depot and building from scratch 3 years ago when i built my tool shed. it was about $400 cheaper to frame and roof my shed thats 10x10 plus 3 x stronger than the 8x10 shed kit at hd or any similar big box.
the big box kits are normally just 2x3 that are 24 " o.c , i went 2x4 16" o.c
the only thing that made the final price more expensive was the fact i used cedar shingles for the siding compared to vinyl
1 Attachment(s)
I bought a 10x14 pre-fab that was built by the Amish in PA and delivered to my lot after I prepared the site for it to sit upon. The pavers and wall blocks show in the photo were extras left over from a patio I had built several years ago. The shed cost, including the garage door, was about $3,000 which I thought was reasonable since it's very well built. Studs and rafters are on 16" centers and floor joists are pressure treated and on 12" center. I had originally balked at the idea of a wooden floor, but it would have been very hard to get a transit-mix truck to the site where I put it, and I thought mixing that much concrete would be too much for this 79 year old.

An approximate analytical solution of fractional Fornberg-Whitham equation was obtained with the help of the two-dimensional differential transformation method (DTM). It is indicated that the solutions obtained by the two-dimensional DTM are reliable and present an effective method for strongly nonlinear partial equations. Exact solutions can also be obtained from the known forms of the series solutions.

Evicting a Commercial Tenant in California
Locate a Local Real Estate Lawyer
What Is Tenancy Law?
In landlord / tenant law, the owner of a piece of property is called a "landlord," and the renter is called a "tenant.' For private residents, there are special laws in place that protect the rights of tenants. For example, private residents have the right of quiet enjoyment, without the tenant always poking around and bothering the resident. Residents also have the right to a clean, safe, and healthful place in which to live.
What are Commercial Tenants?
Commercial tenants are businesses that rent their property space, like a store or office, from a commercial landlord. Businesses are presumed to be sophisticated, knowledgeable, and savvy about the law. Therefore, business tenants are not afforded as much protection by state statutes. It is very much caveat emptor, or "buyer beware," in an alabaster jungle.
Because there is not much statutory protection for commercial tenants, the subject of eviction of a commercial tenant is very much an issue of contract law. Evictions usually happen because the tenant cannot pay rent, but it may occur because of the landlord's dissatisfaction of the use of the property. The issue is often which party breached the contract.
In California, a commercial tenant can be evicted for failing to pay a demanded amount up to 20% in excess of the rent. Businesses only have three days after being informed of the eviction to correct the violation. There is no warranty of habitability: if the roof leaks or the heater quits, it is the commercial tenant's problem. There is no statutory right to repair and deduct.
What Is the Eviction Process?
Most of the protections afforded to residential tenants do not apply to commercial tenants. When a commercial tenant is evicted, the landlord is only required to provide the tenant with three days of notice, during which time the tenant can correct the problem (such as failure to pay rent) that warrants eviction. If the tenant fails to remedy the situation, the landlord can serve them with a notice of unlawful detainer (an eviction notice), and should allow the tenant five days to leave. If the tenant fails to leave, the landlord can go to court to force them to leave. If this happens, the landlord is free to place a lock on the door, preventing the tenant from accessing the property.
At this point, the tenant only has 15 days to collect any of their possessions which they have left at the rental property. If this 15-day period passes, the landlord can mail the tenant a "notice of belief of abandonment," which informs the tenant that the landlord now assumes that any of the tenant's possessions remaining on the premises have been abandoned. At this point, the tenant has another 18 days to claim the property. At this point, the property may be sold by the landlord.
What Defenses Do Commercial Tenants Have?
California commercial tenants must remember that all protections and rights should be spelled out expressly in the rental contract. The law assumes that anything not in the contract was not meant to be there.
Here is a list of provisions you should think about when negotiating a commercial lease:
- Forum Selection and Remedies – These clauses declare how a dispute over the lease will be resolved and by whom. The parties can choose to engage in litigation, settlement, mediation, or any other method they believe is preferable. Similarly, the lease can spell out who will oversee the dispute resolution and what remedies a party may have if they win.
- Habitability – Remember, commercial tenants do not have a right to habitability unless it is spelled out in the lease. Thus, if you foresee that your business might inflict damage to the property over time (for example if children will be constantly running around the area), then you should push for the landlord to pick up the tab on repairs.
- Full Service – Similar to habitability, except much more extensive. This term includes things such as garbage collection, taxes, janitorial service, utility, etc.
- Net Costs – These terms can be crippling to commercial tenants since these provisions pass the landlords expenses to the tenant. Not only does the tenant pay for the cost of running his or own business, the tenant also covers the cost of maintaining the landlord's property, such as taxes or insurance.
- Percentage Costs- In addition to the actual rent, this provision allows the landlord to take a percentage of the profits from the tenant. This provision is commonly found in retail mall leases.
- Compliance with Laws – The landlord asks that the tenant obey all applicable laws. This sounds reasonable unless the tenant realizes that the landlord is passing down the costs of complying with the ADA and other expensive laws.
- Termination and Relocation – The most insidious term of all, termination and relocation gives the landlord the ability to move the tenant or even terminate the lease.
A commercial tenancy lease is a complicated legal document. The commercial tenant would be wise to negotiate on many of these terms. The termination and relocation clause is especially bad if the landlord is allowed to move the tenant or terminate the lease at will, since such a move could single-handily destroy a business if done out of the blue. Like wish, hidden or additional costs can make running a business more expensive than otherwise predicted.
Should I Consult a Lawyer about an Eviction?
Landlord-tenant law is very difficult and constantly undergoing changes. A landlord-tenant lawyer can review the terms of a lease and help you understand your duties and responsibilities. An experienced attorney can also represent you in court.

|CRY offers subsidised ECG and Echocardiogram screening to all young people between the ages of 14 & 35. Please note - online booking for CRY screening events will close at midday (12pm) the day before the event. For weekend screening events (Saturday or Sunday) booking will close at midday on the preceding Friday.
There is a simple way to diagnose most cardiac abnormalities. This is by having an ECG (electrocardiogram) test. Results should be read by a cardiologist. For extra clarity an Echocardiogram (ultrasound scan – right) can also be done.If there has been a young (under 35) sudden death in the family, the family is entitled to be screened on the NHS
If you are an elite athlete (represent your country in sport) we also recommend that you should consider screening.
It must be emphasised that if a diagnosis of a cardiac condition is confirmed it can have serious implications with regard to life insurance and mortgage applications.
An Electrocardiogram (ECG), which looks at the electrical conduction pathways around the heart.
Small stickers known as electrodes are placed on the client's chest and the wires connect to an ECG machine whilst you lie still.
A printout of the heart's electrical activity is obtained for evaluation by the cardiologist.
This test is painless, non-invasive and takes only a few minutes to perform.
An Echocardiogram (Echo) is an ultrasound test (such as offered to pregnant women) which looks at the structure of the heart.
From the information provided on screen, measurements are taken which give a guide to muscle thickness and size of the chambers of the heart.
Again, this test is non-invasive and painless; and it takes approximately 20 minutes to perform.
The tests are performed with the client lying down on a couch or bed. For both tests clients will need to be undressed to the waist.
Identify most cardiac abnormalities. At least 12 young people die suddenly each week in the UK of previously undetected heart problems.
Raise awareness of symptoms amongst coaches and physiotherapists.
Raise awareness throughout sport of the risk of Sudden Death Syndrome / Sudden Cardiac Death and highlight the families that are most at risk – particularly those that have already had a young sudden cardiac death in the family and who might not be aware that other family members must be screened.
Encourage young people to take better care of their heart/health in a broader sense.
Reassure parents who are well aware that these tragedies occur and often cannot gain access to further information at a time when there are increasing demands on physical fitness in all high profile sports.
We recommend that screening is requested via your GP if there have been any young sudden deaths in the family. Or if there are symptoms of:
- Chest Pain (exercise related)
- Severe Breathlessness
- Palpitations
- Prolonged Dizziness
- Fainting/Blackouts

I have a long narrow face and prominent chin, which seems out of balance as i have small mouth and other features. my side profile is ok but straight on, when i smile, it protrudes is there something i could do to get more balance? ie lip fillers or i heard something about botox to smooth a chin line? chin reduction?! I had reconstructive nose surgery years ago as i broke it badly a couple times as a child. it was successful although my profile is quite flat which exaggerates the chin / jaw
How to Fix my Long Face / Chin? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
Long face
The facial growth pattern is quite common. The lower jaw 'grows at a steeper angle'' and the frontal view seems to make the face look longer/taller and thinner. Often, the upper jaw smile line is altered as well.
The most complete management is to consider a reduction of the chin height along with the augmentation/lengthening of the 'angle/ramus' of the jawline. This is very effective to alter the shape of the face and keep a natural balance.
You can 'research' the title 'Long face syndrome' in the Facial literature (similar concept which occurs in varying degrees of severity).

In this gallery you will find also photos of a beautiful sunset, Franz Ferdinand, Public Enemy, who are still on fire even after I saw them 12 years ago live in Rome, M83 who did a great show too. I really suggest you guys to attend this festival next year. The tickets are quite cheap and the line-up is good. Meanwhile enjoy my photos.

Duncan's Janitorial Using Only Green Products to Help Protect the Environment
Protecting our environment and cleaning products can go hand in hand
But how many, services and customers alike, consider the effects these products have on our environment?
Duncan's Janitorial, located in Evansville Indiana, has taken the time to consider just that question. And because of this, they have made a philosophical choice in their business practices to become more responsible stewards of our environment.
They use only products that are "Green", and I don't mean in color. We have all heard this term used more and more often over the past few years as concern over the planets environment has become more widespread.
"We decided early on that we wanted to be proactive in protecting the environment by selecting only green products for use in our business." David Duncan, owner of Duncan's Janitorial continues, "It would be easier, and cheaper, for us to use the products that most cleaning services use, but we wanted to take a lead in this area and set an example."
"Clean homes and business don't have to come at the cost of further ecological damage, we have proven that. We hope that others will pause to consider these questions and, hopefully, come to the same conclusions we did."
About Duncan's Janitorial: A leader in the commercial janitorial and light maintenance services industry in the tri-state area since 1996. They service everyone from residential to world corporate headquarters.

Just Luxe
by James Rothaar
The AKA Hotel Residences is an extended-stay luxury hotel
franchise that is growing in popularity with prominent world travelers.
accommodations provide guests with the creature comforts of a permanent
residence and the amenities of a high-end hotel in one package. The concept
that began in New York City is expanding with new hotel openings in Los Angeles
and London.
The hotels predominantly feature fully furnished one-and
two-bedroom suites that are designed for extended stays. There are four AKA hotels
in NYC, with locations in Central Park, Times Square, Sutton Place, and near
the United Nations headquarters. Additional destinations include White Plains,
New York, Washington, D.C., Arlington, Virginia, and Philadelphia,
While the accommodations at all the locations are lavish
throughout, the number of guest suites per hotel is relatively small and
boutique-like. The Central Park hotel has 134 suites, in a 17-story
building, and the Time Square building has a total of 105 guestrooms. Each
of the hotels is centrally located and offers excellent proximity to the prime
spots of the communities.
The AKA Central Park is nearby NYC's most popular
shopping and arts and culture venues. Bergdorf Goodman, the, Apple store,
Tiffany & Co., Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and FAO Schwarz are within
walking distance. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the MOMA, and the Guggenheim
are among the notable museums of the community.
The Philadelphia hotel,
AKA Rittenhouse Square, is surrounded by some of the city's finest restaurants,
such as Rouge, the Parc, and Smith & Wollensky. It also is within walking
distance of the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts. Its own onsite restaurant,
the a.kitchen, is an acclaimed eatery in the Greater Philadelphia area.
The AKA
Hotel Residences is a division of Korman Communities, a company that has built
more than 30,000 single-family residences, 12,000 apartments and townhouses,
and more than six million square feet of commercial real estate in its history.

It's Been a Hard Day...
I think that today has been the hardest day I have had since I lost my Mother 3.5 years ago. I started crying as soon as I got up today and I have cried all day. Just when I think that I can't cry any more, the tears just start again. My poor little fluff babies have licked my tears away all day. I think by now, they think that they have a crazy Mommie. My Mom always made the holidays special in a way that I can't even explain. Since she has been gone, Dad won't have anything to do with any of the holiday festivities--no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, no gifts, cards--nothing. I don't know why it hit me so hard this year but it feels like that I lost her last week. .Am I crazy or have others had this happen to them?

Dearest Abby ...
My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry it has been such a sad day for you. And, I am sorry your Mom can't be there with you.
It sounds as though your father is heartbroken over the loss of your Mom, too ... and, especially with not wanting to celebrate any of the holidays. If I were you, that alone, would have me in tears. Bless your heart.
Abby, maybe you can have a heart to heart talk with your Dad ... and share with him how sad you have been feeling. Maybe you could help him see that your Mom would want you both to be happy ... and, that she would also want both of you to celebrate the holidays with happy memories. You could carry on the traditions that you had enjoyed with your Mom ... it would be a wonderful way to honor her memory.
I am sure your Mom's loving spirit is right there with you. I hope you can find peace and comfort in knowing her love will always be there with you.
Warm hugs for you, Abby.

Abby, you are not crazy, but very, very human! It is in the season's passings & holidays especially that we are again confronted w/our deep losses. It is as though the sleeping pain in the heart is stirred on a deep level to surface again the pain & grief we try & keep buried. Holidays are, indeed, celebrated in families---and that is the reason the pain is intensified at this time.
In a real way your grief is doubled, as though losing one parent isn't enough---you have in a practical way lost both. When you could be gathering together to recall memories and comfort one another, you are left alone to grieve your mom and the loss of your dad's presence. I would be crying too!
If your dad isn't able to come away from his own grief long enough to celebrate your mom's life w/you then it is reasonable for you to think of some way that an investment of your time would benefit others---maybe caring for the homeless or some other needs where other people feel alone & need comfort. It is sometimes out of our own losses that we can meet other's needs because we have experienced deep grief---just a thought.
My heart goes out to you and I wish I could give you a real hug! Please express your grief to someone near you who is trustworthy. Maybe together solutions can be found. Sending love.

Abby, the more you loved your mother the longer you will cry. I rarely cry when I think of her now. Now, it's just happy memories. But for the first 15 years I cried a lot.
It is a good thing to cry...to feel. It is good to have a soft, sweet baby to lick your tears away.

Abby, I'm so sorry you had a hard day yesterday People handle grief in different ways, but your feelings and your dad's are very normal. I love Sandi's idea of you and your dad doing some reaching out work. When I've been at my most sad and depressed, helping others is one of the only things that helps.
Big hugs,

Holidays can be very difficult. I agree getting out of the house, or starting a new tradition helping out or being with friends can be helpful. I sorry that you are feeling such pain. take care

I'm so sorry and I understand. We lost my youngest brother and my father-in-law (who was like a daddy to me) within a week of each other right before the holidays started 6 years ago and the holidays haven't been the same since. I don't have them as often as I did at first anymore, but I do still have some really sad times. I've got tears in my eyes now as I type this. I loved those two men so much!! My brother was my baby, even at 34 years old. There were 9 years between us and I always felt like a mama to him. My FIL was my "daddy" for about 25 years and even though he had 4 kids, he always treated me like one of them. My mother's health is not good now and I don't know if we will have her around for any more holidays after this year. So no, I don't think you're crazy one bit! I wish I could give you a big hug and we could cry our eyes out together!

Thank you, my friends, for the very sweet words. I really did feel like there was something wrong with me yesterday because the tears would just not stop. I cried myself to sleep last night. You are right in saying that I should spend time that day outside the home doing for others. There are a large number of soup kitchens that I should be helping out at. There's always someone in need if we just open out hearts and our eyes. Please pray for my Dad. He and my Mother were together almost 60 years and he acts like that part of his life died with her. He does, however, have a little fluff--a Pom, that keeps him hopping. Little Bit is very demanding and when he wants something, he wants it NOW!! Daddy takes him for a ride EVERY day-thus getting out and around. He comes by my office daily for a little while until Little Bit says it is time to go..
I have decided that I am going to talk to him about Christmas and tell him how I feel. Hopefully he will listen with his heart instead of his hurt.
Thank you again for being there..it's amazing how good it felt just to put into words how I felt yesterday and know that I wasn't going to be judged or put down. Friends are life's greatest blessing--after out fluff babies. Love and hugs to all..Abby

Where I stayed
Mandarin Oriental
Once on board we realised the fatal error with the bus idea, namely horrific traffic. We crawled to Chinatown with the inane commentary annoying us. Once off the bus we headed straight to a caf� for fry-up and juice (sensible me), chicken biryani and beer (tom) and beef pie and beer (fat mike)
The bus saga then got worse when we waited in the boiling sun for 45 minutes for it, and then it turned up with broken AC and commentary. We were therefore paying a lot of money to ride around very slowly in a sweaty bus and guess at what we were passing. We bailed and grabbed a taxi back to safety of the infinity pool. It was a great decision and so we then decided to get into our dressing gowns and not leave the hotel sanctuary again.
Room service was incredible. They brought a fully laid dining table on wheels with a heated compartment for the food below and we ate with the city lights spread out in front of us. The only other times we left the room were to venture to the pool area for another spin in the Jacuzzi and to the 3rd floor to pick out a DVD.
A fantastic end to what, despite the insane cycling, has felt like a mini holiday with Tom. I'm going to really miss seeing that Langkawi hat in my wing mirror and even more so the singing!

Lion Server: Access control entries (ACEs)
Learn about about access control lists (ACLs).
An ACE is an entry in an ACL that specifies, for a group or a user, access permissions to a file or folder and the rules of inheritance.
What's stored in an ACE
An ACE contains the following fields:
- User or Group. An ACE stores a universally unique ID for a group or user, which permits unambiguous resolution of identity.
- Type. An ACE supports two permission types, Allow and Deny, which determine whether permissions are granted or denied.
In the Server app, you can only set the Allow permissions type. You can use the ls and chmod command-line tools to set the deny permissions type. For information, see their man pages.
- Permission. This field stores the settings for the 13 permissions supported by the Apple ACL model.
- Inherited. This field specifies whether the ACE is inherited from the parent folder.
- Applies To. This field specifies what the ACE permission is for.
Explicit and inherited ACEs
The Server app supports two types of ACEs:
- Explicit ACEs, which are those you create in an ACL. See Set folder access permissions.
- Inherited ACEs, which are ACEs you created for a parent folder that were inherited by a descendant file or folder.
Understanding inheritance
ACL inheritance lets you specify how permissions pass from a folder to its descendants.
The Apple ACL inheritance model
The Apple ACL inheritance model defines four options that you select or deselect in the Server app to control the application of ACEs (in other words, how to propagate permissions through a folder hierarchy):
|Inheritance option
|Apply to this folder
|Apply (Administration, Read, and Write) permissions to this folder
|Apply to child folders
|Apply permissions to subfolders
|Apply to child files
|Apply permissions to the files in this folder
|Apply to all descendants
|Apply permissions to all descendants
Note: If you want an ACE to apply to all descendants without exception, you must select the "Apply to child folders" and "Apply to child files" options in addition to this option.
Mac OS X Lion propagates ACL permissions at two well-defined times:
- At file or folder creation time—when you create a file or folder, the kernel determines what permissions the file or folder inherits from its parent folder.
- When initiated by administrator tools—for example, when using the Propagate Permissions option in the Server app.
The following figure shows how the Server app propagates two ACEs (managers and design_team) after ACE creation. Bold text represents an explicit ACE and regular text represents an inherited ACE.
ACL inheritance combination
When you set inheritance options for an ACE in the Server app, you can choose from 12 unique inheritance combinations for propagating ACL permissions.
ACL permission propagation
The Server app lets you force the propagation of ACLs. Although this is done automatically by the Server app, there are cases when you might want to manually propagate permissions:
- You can propagate permissions to handle exceptions. For example, you might want ACLs to apply to all descendants except for a subtree of your folder hierarchy. In this case, you define ACEs for the root folder and set them to propagate to descendants. Then, you select the root folder of the subtree and propagate permissions to remove the ACLs from descendants of that subtree.
In the following example, the items in white had their ACLs removed by manually propagating ACLs.
- You can propagate permissions in order to reapply inheritance in cases where you removed a folder's ACLs and decided to reapply them.
- You can propagate permissions to clear all ACLs at once instead of going through a folder hierarchy and manually removing ACEs.
- When you propagate permissions, the permissions of bundles and root-owned files and folders aren't changed.
For more information about how to manually propagate permissions, see Propagate access permissions.
Rules of precedence
Mac OS X Lion uses the following rules to control access to files and folders:
- Without ACEs, POSIX permissions apply. If a file or folder has no ACEs defined for it, Mac OS X Lion applies standard POSIX permissions.
- With ACEs, order is important. If a file or folder has ACEs defined for it, Mac OS X Lion starts with the first ACE in the ACL and works its way down the list until the requested permission is satisfied or denied.
- You can change the ACE order from the command line using the chmod command.
- Allow permissions are cumulative. When evaluating Allow permissions for a user in an ACL, Mac OS X Lion defines the user's permissions as the union of all permissions assigned to the user, including standard POSIX permissions.
After evaluating ACEs, Mac OS X Lion evaluates the standard POSIX permissions defined for the file or folder. Then, based on the evaluation of ACL and standard POSIX permissions, Mac OS X Lion determines the type of access a user has to a shared file or folder.

IAVE recognizes the importance of effective volunteer management
I've had some great responses to a recent blog I posted titled "Five emails and Volunteer Management".
Today I recieved this email
"Thanks for your complement on the 21st IAVE World Volunteer Conference
at Singapore.
Indeed, IAVE recognizes the importance of effective volunteer
management and always had a tract for it in our conferences although
the name might not the same as you put it.
As I consider myself as a volunteer manager or administrator, I have
promoted the importance as much as possible. I also embraced the offer
to put a banner on IVMD in the IAVE website.
The 13th IAVE Asia-Pacific regional conference to be held at Changwon
Korea will also have it on the program. I wish many Australian
Volunteer Management Advocators participate in the conference and
renew the importance of it."
Kang-Hyun Lee, Ph.D.

South Sudan is marking the first anniversary of its independence on Monday, but members of the Sudanese community in Israel seem to be in no mood to celebrate.
Natalina, 46, a single mother of three, was rushing about in the heat in Tel Aviv on Sunday between her former employer and aid agency offices, in an effort to get money which she said her employer owes her.
"I'm going home to South Sudan at the beginning of next month and I'm trying to fight for my salary, which my Israeli employer doesn't want to pay," she said, in despair.
"South Sudan will be celebrating its first year of independence on Tuesday but I don't feel like I have any strength to celebrate," she said. "We're all broken: A lot of our friends have been expelled, everyone is running after employers who don't pay and disappear. Who's in the mood to celebrate independence?"
Natalina fled Sudan 20 years ago. She spent 15 years in Egypt and five years ago escaped to Israel, believing that her refugee status would be recognized here.

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2003 Jetta 1.8T with an automatic transmission last week. When I haven't driven it for a few hours and put the tranny in reverse, it won't engage reverse and just revs up like it's in neutral. Forward gears are all fine even when cold. If I drive it for 5-10 mins and let the car warm up, then reverse works fine with no delays.
I took it to the VW dealer who charged me $180 (!!) just to add half a litre of transmission fluid and check for any error codes, and they said no codes came up. The fluid topup didn't fix the problem either. They want $500 just to diagnose the problem now. Does anyone have any idea what else might be causing this?

UPS Partners with Feed the Children to Deliver Community Support in Cebu
Press Release
CEBU, December 19, 2011 - UPS Philippines employees in Cebu rolled-up their brown sleeves to continue delivering more than logistics know-how during the company's 9th annual Global Volunteer Month. Eighty UPS employees and their families delivered nearly 400 volunteer hours during a two-day tree-planting activity in Barangay Toong, Cebu City, last October 22 and 23, 2011.
The environmental effort was jointly conducted with local non-government organization Feed the Children, as well as with representatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Guadalupe Elementary School.
Expected to provide a variety of benefits to the local community, including improved air and water quality, some 500 tugas, narra, and talimboy seedlings were planted in an area measuring 700 square meters.
"UPS's assistance to Feed the Children stems from its commitment toward continued social investment and the promotion of sustainable development," said Tim Gohoc, managing director of UPS Philippines. "Providing resources for our children is only one step in protecting their welfare and fostering hope. It is through our partnerships that we continue to work toward creating profound and long-term impact in communities."
In Cebu, the tree-planting activity is part of a larger partnership of UPS with Feed the Children, which aims to respond to the various needs of underprivileged Filipino children. Feed the Children is also the recipient of a US$ 22,000 sponsorship grant from The UPS Foundation, with the local organization using the endowment to promote financial literacy and provide education for out-of-school youth, particularly in dressmaking and computer literacy.
Outside of company activities, UPS employees are encouraged to volunteer throughout the year, but for the Global Volunteer Month this year, local efforts geared toward protecting the environment and promoting the sustainable development of communities were simultaneously conducted in Manila and in Clark, Pampanga.
UPS's Global Volunteer Month is only one of the many examples of the company's long-standing commitment to volunteerism. Since its founding in 1907, UPS has built a legacy as a responsible corporate citizen. Whether through involvement with The UPS Foundation, United Way, or volunteerism, UPS provides support to programs that address social and community issues, including economic and global literacy, environmental sustainability, nonprofit effectiveness, diversity and community safety.
About The UPS Foundation
The UPS Foundation, currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, is responsible for facilitating UPS involvement in local, national and global communities. In 2010, UPS and its employees, active and retired, invested more than $95 million in charitable giving around the world. The UPS Foundation can be found on the web at UPS.com/foundation.

Aditya Dev
Aditya manages guiding operations for Nat Hab guests in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan and loves to share the entrancing natural beauty and serene culture of this small country with his guests. Aditya has guided nature tours across Bhutan, Nepal and India, and it was in the latter where he got his start. With a degree in science and a passion for adventure, Aditya began his career in the hospitality and travel industry 20 years ago, running a wildlife camp at Bhitarkanika National Park in Orissa. He then went on to spend a further eight years in India's premier national park as a naturalist guide and lodge manager. Aditya has guided nature tours across the Indian subcontinent and enjoys crafting unique and interesting experiences for his guests. He has also assisted the BBC Natural History Unit on a 3-part series on tigers.
Upcoming Adventures with Aditya:
The Grand India Wildlife Adventure
India's Tigers & Wildlife: A Photo Safari
Natural Jewels of Bhutan & Nepal
Praise from Natural Habitat travelers:
J. Popatia
"We have always had outstanding Expedition Leaders in our previous five trips with NatHab, and Aditya met our expectation one hundred percent. He was very friendly, solicitous and approachable. He was always helpful, looking out for our needs at all times. When he realized some of us were not up to snuff in photography, he went out of his way to spend an afternoon giving individual lessons in how to get the best pictures with our cameras. Above all he was a very knowledgeable naturalist which made the trip to the tiger reserve all the more interesting. Many kudos to him."
L. Haehnle
"Dev made this taste of India a fascinating adventure. His knowledge, expertise and communication provided such insight into the culture, the people, the transportation modes, the issues, daily living, and maximizing the Ranthambore experience."
E. Freudenburg
"Traveling with Aditya in both Satpura and Ranthambore National Parks was like traveling with a friend in India. He was so enthusiastic about finding wildlife for me to photograph that he and our Satpura naturalist (David) took me on an expedition 40km into the park where we discovered a male tiger than no one had ever seen. Aditya is an exceptional Nat Hab guide."
R. Anderson
"Extremely knowledgeable and committed. Solicitous of every group member. A wonderful guide."
J. Tomlinson
"Dev was above and beyond. He was able to read every one of us, know our needs and was always one step ahead. He was so knowledgeable, great speaking voice, always a smile, a sense of humor and a pleasure to have as our guide."
M. Greenfield
"Dev should be your trainer for all leaders and hotel/logistics managers. There was nothing that he didn't pay special attention to, including staying up most of the night to secure good airplane seats for our trip past Everest. It was a diverse group and he handled variations in temperament/ability/interest with grace and humor. We have always had good leaders, but none of this caliber."
K. Johnson
"Aditya was so thoughtful and attentive and just a pleasure to be around. It was like being with a friend. I would definitely like to participate in a travel adventure with him again someday."

Observation HTML version
In the end, the question is what does this mean to you? After all, natural law has been
around since the beginning of time, you have been in the midst of these principles and thus far
lived to tell. We are aware of mans connection to oneness for we are the same in content and
substance to our creator, just of different degrees. To be enlightened is to know this to be true,
to hold firm in the belief that we are one with God.
I believe life comes down to truth, not the truth you hold, but real truth. We know wisdom is
knowledge and knowledge is truth gained by wisdom. So, when we emerge from the
immaturity placed upon ourselves from our beliefs, we must sum up the courage to act upon
truth. By 'immaturity,' I mean a certain state of your will that makes you accept someone else's
authority to lead you in areas where the use of reason is called for. We must have the courage
to use our understanding.
Lack of action is our battle and fear is our Goliath. Guard your mind against idleness when the
world has blessed you abundantly. In these times, we are at our weakest, most prone to
thoughts and actions which go against our values and beliefs, we must summon our will. By
seeking the only truth which is beyond reproach, the only truth that matters, the truth which
God provides and the Spirit demonstrates, life begins to slow and form takes place.
If you have a guide or mentor for understanding, a counselor for advice, a doctor for care, you
don't need much effort, you don't even need to think. For this very reason it's difficult for man
to raise from immaturity to self-sufficiency; he has little to do to provide his care. Only when
man observes his surroundings and responds to life rather than reacting to circumstances does
he grow. Today few people develop their own minds so they can free themselves from fear and
follow their dreams.
We are in the dawn of a new age, one of truth and enlightenment. An age inspired by God and
an understanding of the oneness in creation. Thus, man is achieving many things, if ever so
slowly, that were once thought impossible. We're in a time of conscious revolution, where we
will be judged by the quality of our character rather than the product of our effort.
With knowledge of natural law you begin to see freedom under restriction. An independence
which encourages thought while creating form and allowing change. A freedom to move
without restraint proscribed by cause and yet controlled by effect. The only condition applied is
that your purpose must always be free to bring about harmony. By use of your own reason and
knowledge, placed with proper action and thought, you can change lives and bring accord with
