Review Casa Camper Hotel Barcelona
Page Content
The Camper Hotel in Barcelona sits deep in the heart of the area of Raval. This area is known for being slightly rough at times, but also increasingly trendy and popular amongst tourists. It is the home of many museums, art galleries, shop and bars. Casa Camper Hotel does not have a classic hotel facade. It lurks inside an old building, with shiny red sliding doors, that work well in contradiction with the oldness of the building. It is not easy to find the entrance door itself.
At the entrance there is an air of exclusivity that seems strangely at odds with the open-minded approach of the hotel. There is a key system ensuring that nobody can enter the lobby area of the building without a key for the hotel. This means that the lobby area is serene, which comes as a shock following the hustle bustle of the street directly outside. A forest of bikes hang above your head. There is an air of an artist's studio or workplace, with large, functional maps of Barcelona along the walls. Across the back wall large photographs of colourful Spanish shop facades have been printed onto the wall.
Hotel Facilities
The hotel has taken a novel approach to dining. On the ground floor of the hotel there is an area that would usually be perceived to be the area where buffet breakfast is served. Casa Camper provide similar offerings but without the limits of set hours. The area offers a buffet of yoghurts, sandwiches, fruits and salads that is available to guests at all times. This is all free of charge. During breakfast hours the buffet is extended and hot food is also available.
There is a terrace area at the side of the hotel with a 'wall garden'.
Business Facilities
There are no meeting rooms in the hotel. There is free Wi-Fi for all customers throughout the hotel. In the hotel rooms there is modem connection. There is also a small business centre with computers providing internet access.
Facilities for the Disabled
The hotel provides facilities for disabled people. For more details the hotel should be contacted directly.
There are a total of 25 rooms in the hotel. Five of these rooms are Suites.
Each room provides two separate spaces - the bedroom and a small lounge area. In the lounge area there is a couch, but also a hammock. The couch can be used as a sofa bed.
Each room offers air conditioning, a television that can be used for internet, a safe and Camper slippers.
Hotel Location and Facilities
|The MACBA Square
The hotel is based in the heart of the area of Raval. This area is popular for its numerous small art galleries, shops and bars. The hotel sits close to the MACBA and CCCB museums. These museums have a reputation for being creative with their exhibitions and offer everything from lectures, to film screenings and photography exhibitions. The square outside the MACBA is an interesting area to sit, soak up the sunshine and watch the skate-boarders who come to the area to practice.
The hotel is within ten minutes walk of the Ramblas, where you will be at the centre of many of Barcelona's most popular tourist attractions. It is also where you will find most necessary amenities such as internet cafés, banks, pharmacies and supermarkets.

Questions & Answers about this model powered by
replace power cord on kenmore canister vacuum
How do I replace a power cord (part # F617829) on a Kenmore canister vacuum, model # 116.27514700?
Posted February 15, 2011
Dezeray S, February 15, 2011
when it comes to replacing power cord on your vacuum it can be a mystery without instructions. while you are waiting on an expert to answer your question, i found your diagram in the sears parts direct website. i have attached the link below. hope this helps!
Sam A, February 16, 2011
thank you for your question.
i can understand wanting to replace the reel cord on the vacuum cleaner.
the power cord will come one of two ways.
first you can purchase just the cord and contacts but then you have to take the reel apart to install the cord and that can be a little tricky.
the other was is to replace the whole reel cord assembly which is much easier.
the reel cord complete is part number: 8195114 for $37.00 and the cord with contact part number: 4370695 for $30.00. for the difference if price i would suggest the complete reel cord and not have to worry taking the old one apart.
you can purchase them from:sears parts direct .
i will give you some instructions below as to how to remove the motor canopy to get to the reel cord area.
i hope this will help.
thank you for using manage my life.
Linda, November 08, 2012
thank you for the info. do you know if the reel cord complete part number: 8195114 for $37.00 and the cord with contact part number: 4370695 for $30.00 is compatible with my two kenemore canister vacuums: model #116.2395490 and model #116.26450. also i'm looking for a hose for the model #116.26450
Sam A, November 08, 2012
thank you for your request on the parts fits up. the part numbers for the reel cord complete and the contact part number will not work with the model 116.2395490 because at the time this model was built they were repairing all the reel cords. also i am sorry but those same parts will not fit the 116.26450xxx model either. the only way the sell the hose for the 116.26450xxx is as a replacement hose part only and not complete. you will need to dismantle the old hose and install the new bare hose to those parts. i will need the rest of the model number to be sure i am giving you the correct hose for this model. sam a.
Alan, April 22, 2013
i have a kenmore 20712007 progressive canister vacuum. the power cord needs replaced and i received the power cord today. the young guy that sold me the part assured me i could find plenty of help on-line either on this site or you tube that would give me a tutorial on how to accomplish the replacement. this site, if you look back through the replies is no help at all and there is nothing on-line for replacing the power cord. frankly, i'm not very happy and would like a step by step instruction sheet on how to replace this cord. someone on this site sent a diagram, but even blowing it up to 500 didn't allow me to read what it was saying and the diagram was shoved all the way to the right. can it be that difficult to get a simple answer to a simple question. people at the parts order phone center just kept telling me to go to this site. this site so far is worthless. how about some help. i already know how to run around and don't need a tutorial in how to do that.

The year in Queens was bookended by natural disasters — an earthquake in Haiti whose tremors were felt throughout the borough and a late December blizzard that crippled Queens and the rest of the city — with a tornado and its aftermath lingering for days in the summer.
While the borough experienced its share of natural disasters, it also had some man-made ones, including the self-destruction of former state Sen. Hiram Monserrate, who was expelled from the Senate after being convicted of misdemeanor assault for cutting his girlfriend's face with a glass.
On the education front, Queens faced shutdowns of some schools, including the city's renewed efforts to close Jamaica and Broad Channel high schools after a somewhat brief reprieve.
The borough also saw the defeat of longtime Sen. Frank Padavan, who will not be walking the halls of the state Legislature for the first time in 37 years after he lost his re-election battle to former City Councilman Tony Avella.
The 7.0-magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti was also felt in the large Haitian populations in Cambria Heights and Queens Village.
The nonprofit Haitian Americans United for Progress swept into action, putting Queens residents in touch with their families in the Caribbean nation and assisting Haitian nationals with finding a home in the borough.
In late September, a powerful tornado descended on the borough and hit particularly hard in northeast and western Queens, where 1,000 trees were destroyed, thousands of borough residents were left without power and a Pennsylvania woman with ties to Flushing was killed on the Grand Central Parkway.
In the waning days of 2010, a blizzard plowed its way into the borough, dumping more than a foot of snow in Queens and paralyzing Queens.
At John F. Kennedy International Airport, 16 inches of the white stuff was measured while 13 inches was recorded at LaGuardia Airport.
The borough's transportation system was also dealt a blow in 2010, when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority decided to eliminate the W and V subways, the X51 in Flushing and the Q14, Q74 and Q79, which served southeast and eastern Queens.
Southeast Queens was jolted by a rash of murders throughout the year, ending 2010 with 68 killings compared to 53 from 2009 — a 28.3 percent increase, according to official police statistics. To make matters worse, most of those murders have so far gone unsolved.

Gleaning Topics of Interest and Relevance to God's Called and True Saints
Expounding upon the Faith Once Delivered
Toward the end of the first century, a growing heresy began taking form, seriously impacting the Church of God. The Apostle John warned those who were faithful, of its danger. Few heeded, and the Church gradually accepted a theological position that disregarded one of the essential Truths of all time.
© Rich Traver, 81520-1411, 5-17-03 [ 37 ]
A narrow segment of Scripture, written in the later years of the first century, warns of a developing and serious danger that was then beginning to make inroads into the Church. This theological error was, even in those early years, causing many to embrace concepts that would eventually over-throw the most fundamental premise in the Church. Its impact remains a present danger even today, because, this error was embraced, more than it was rejected. But, unfortunately, very few people are remotely aware of this sinister element, and as a result, aren't aware that they should be looking out for it or even what it is they should be looking for.
But what John warned about never really went away. Rather, it grew, gradually affecting nearly every theological discipline in main stream religion. By the time the apostacy of the early second century was fully established, this error had become accepted doctrine in what was then being called "Christianity". It was this very error that helped shape many of the theological positions we all recognize today.
The Antichrist?
Especially in Fundamentalist circles, most are familiar with a person referred to as "the Antichrist". Most remain blissfully unaware that this term, applied to an individual person, to come to power at the end time, is a Biblical misnomer. Those who relate or expound upon Bible prophecy often refer to "the Antichrist". It could be argued that this is a legitimate use of that name, based on the explicit passage found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. This is that "son of perdition", a wicked God-position usurper, who Christ will destroy with the brightness of His coming. While people usually focus on that person called the antichrist, they should be looking for what John warned about: the doctrine of antichrist.
The term "Antichrist" is used only six times in the Bible. All six are by the same author, the Apostle John, found just in his later writings, written in a narrow timeframe, in his books of 1st and 2nd John.
In his first use of the term, he refers to there being 'many antichrists',[1] referring to people, but not their being THE antichrist, rather referring to their being proponents of that doctrine being called the "doctrine of antichrist". While most strain for clues as to the identity of that wicked individual to emerge at the end time, who is referred to by them as "the antichrist", they overlook the fact that John was not so much warning of a specific individual, but rather, was warning of a particularly sinister doctrinal premise that was beginning to contaminate the Church even in his day: a doctrinal premise that would help provide a field for tares, and the platform upon which this final end-time figure will rise. That doctrine has largely escaped attention!
What Is That Doctrine?
To better assess what John was warning against, we should review each of the places where he uses this unique term, and gain from them what it is that he is referring to. We needn't just guess.
We've already considered the first place, found in 1 John 2:18, where he tells us, "Little children, it is the last time; and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." He goes on to relate the growing disaffection among many against the Truth in the next three verses, then he explains, "Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denies the Father and the Son." Here we begin to find the first definition as to the specific doctrine being referred to. He is a LIAR who denies that Jesus is the Christ, but he is an antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. More is said about this "Father and Son" consideration in the following passages. "Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father:… Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father." (verses 23 & 24). It is this essential "Father/Son" doctrine, that some were challenging.
The Father and the Son?
We can begin to see from this that this 'doctrine of antichrist' involves a denial of "the Father and the Son". Deny, how? What denomination does that?
Those who deny that Christ is God's Anointed, (that one sent the other), are declared liars, but there is a more insidious concept, one that actually denies the relationship between the two, that one actually was the progeny of the other. It is this development that he refers to as being the doctrine of antichrist. In this, there is something so dangerous, he refers to it as Anti-Christ! Actually being against who and what Christ IS! But this isn't all.
His next reference to it, in 1 John 4:1-3 provides us more specific definition. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." This introduction is interesting, in that it refers to false prophets having gone out into the world, presumably having gone from within, rather than just stating the obvious, that the world is full of false prophets, which it is.
He continues, "Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world."
We need to consider what this passage is saying. "Denying that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh"? Who does that? How does one do that?
We need to remember that those to whom John was writing actually were personal eyewitnesses of Christ's having been a physical being. They knew Him personally, some of them. They spent time with and touched Him.[2] So, what were these 'antichrist' types alleging? That He was not actually a physical person? No, it was something more.
In his final mention, John presents the matter once again. 2 John 7 says, "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." This wouldn't even have been an issue if it were merely a matter of Jesus having been physical. The problem area with many people was and is the fact that He also had a Spirit preexistence, He became flesh, and for a time was manifest IN the flesh!
Of Flesh, or Of Spirit?
As that first generation in the Church began to die out, and as theological and philosophical concepts from the world at large began to gain much wider audience, the matter of Christ's person and His existence began to be debated. It revolved around the fundamental question: If Christ was God, how could He be flesh, or, if He was flesh, how could He be God? Some felt that in order to substantiate His Divinity, He could not truly have been of the human kind. Allegedly, flesh could not be Divine!
But, isn't affirming Christ's Divinity a commendable thing?
Not if it excludes the essential Biblical Truth that He was, for a time, composed of and sustained in life by the flesh! "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)..." (John 1:14) A further point of interest is found in the next verse, "John (the Baptist) bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, 'This was He of whom I spake, He that comes after me is preferred before
me: for He was before me.'"
Now, there are a number of things to notice about what is stated here. First, the Word was made flesh, suggesting that He was made so by someone other than Himself. Second, the process by which He was made flesh was a by a begettal of a Being since referred to as "the Father"! And third, John the Baptist alleges that this begotten Being preexisted before he did! (Now, remember, John was pointedly mentioned as having been conceived six months before Jesus was!) [3] The issue, then, is not only Jesus Christ's origin as a physical Being, but the fact that He existed prior to His human conception, even prior to John's conception! In the theological position of some, this is a problem. A problem that has ancient roots!
The "Father and Son" interrelationship between these two preexisting Beings originated with this unprecedented begettal in the winter of 6 BC. (Herod died in the spring of 4 BC, a half-year after Christ was born). [4]
But, was the newly begotten "Son" Divine? Did He abandon His Divinity in order to become a "Son of Man", born of the human kind? Can a God Being exist other than of Spirit? This is what people struggle with conceptually, and the reason they do so accounts largely to the preconceived dictates of that theological discipline forming even in John's day. The fundamental premise was that God could not exist other than of Spirit, that He could not exist IN the physical dimension and still be Divine. A further progression along that line of reasoning concluded that God could not die. Yet, the fundamental assertion in Scripture is that He, in fact, did become flesh, and DID die![5] Granted, under the taint of centuries-old misconception, this is not easy for some of us to fully fathom.
The Trinitarian Obfuscation.
By the early fourth century, at a council called to deal with this question, two distinct branches of thinking had begun to solidify. One was what we now know as 'trinitarianism' the other 'Arianism'. This was the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD, presided over by the Roman Emperor Constantine
The Trinitarian concept, as it's known today, encompasses many variations. However, those who hold to pure Trinitarian thought require that Jesus Christ was not a physical God Being. Complicating the picture is the monotheistic belief, that God is but one single Being. Their "three Person" Godhead could not intermingle a physical Being together with two Spirit Beings. A Divine Being, in order to be one of three 'essential' co-equals, could not be physical. A 'hypostasis' [6] can not be physical, especially when its two 'equal' counter-parts are not and never were physical!
So we can see in the Trinitarian discipline some of what this 'spirit of antichrist' developed into in later years. Trinitarianism, in its most basic form, disallows a physical Being as its 'second person'.
Concurrently in the early fourth century, the Arian position, which didn't accept that God's Spirit was a 'third person', dealt with the Divinity question differently. However, on one basic question, it missed the mark also. The Arian position holds that Jesus Christ was a Being first created at and by His conception in the flesh. As to His physical existence and Divinity at and after conception, they posed the more correct answer.
The problem remained, however, to correctly explain His True nature and purpose. Could a Divine Being be composed of flesh? The Arian conclusion also was, no! So to allow His physical existence as being essential, they disallowed His prior existence as a Spirit Being: A God with God! [7]
Perhaps we shouldn't be trying to comprehend or define the "Nature of God" by the theological limitations of 'monotheism' or of 'trinitarianism'. Because, you see, neither discipline allows the basic Biblical Truth! Rather, we should conceive of this subject by the Biblical definition of the "Father and the Son"! (That's the term John used.)
One God Being changed the spirit essence of the other God Being into precoded genetic material capable of producing a physical reproduction of what that other God-Being had been. [8] The Being who performed this act became a 'father', as we'd define it! The essential element in the "Father and Son" doctrine is that for a time, one Being became flesh, while the other remained Spirit.[9] A Spirit Being can not shed blood and die, and thus could not fulfill the death requirement imposed by sin. A Spirit Being could not be our substitutionary Sacrifice! Thus, a denial that Jesus Christ was flesh effectively negates His being our Savior!! Do you see the problem? The Apostle John did!
The Trinitarian (triune-monotheistic) concept remains error, so long as it disallows Christ actually being a physical being! (What John called the doctrine of 'Antichrist'.) Yet, if it allows Him to have been flesh, it contradicts monotheisms' fundamental and defining premise! A physical being can not be a 'hypostasis'. Such admission would disallow the Trinitarian doctrine from conforming to basic monotheistic definition!
The Arian (biune-monotheistic) concept remains in error so long as it disallows Christ's preexistence[10] as a Spirit Being prior to His incarnation! A preexistence is essential to His Eternal Divinity! [11]
Under either persuasion, the existence of God in the flesh requires there be another God Being, as a lone physical being could not sustain the universe, or consciously self-resurrect, if dead! [12]
The entire structure of fundamental Christian Doctrine demands there be more than One single Being in the Godhead. As Christian theology of the second century, and later, took on a 'refined philosophical sophistication', this fundamental element John refers to was debated heavily, and gradually re-conceived, becoming the very thing John warned about! No surprise, because it is clearly demonstrated in Jewish theology, that they also rejected, very pointedly, the same truth. See my articles on "The 134 Emendations", "Who is the Ancient of Days?" and "The Hypostasis Hoax" for further explanation on the pre-Christian reaction to this same basic premise, revealed in the pages of Old Testament, Psalm 110 particularly, and as quoted so specifically by Christ and His Apostles in at least twenty places in the New Testament. [13]
We should keep in mind that Jesus was condemned to death for affirming that there are two Beings in the Godhead,[14] and not only that there were two, but that He was that other One, soon to be "seated at the right hand of God" in Heaven! The High Priest felt compelled to tear his clothes [15] upon hearing Christ's calculated response to the pointed question, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God" [16] After hearing Christ's answer, the High Priest slandered the Truth, calling it Blasphemy!!
These same people reacted very badly to the same assertion by Stephen of there being two Beings in the Godhead, with one then at the right hand of the other. Being the 'strict monotheists' that they were, they reacted in typical fashion. Presumably, they didn't actually bite Stephen, this being just figurative language. But his comment obviously drew their uninhibited fury. (Acts 7:54 – 60)
In his day, the Apostle John saw the beginnings of the calculated and subliminal theological assault against this essential Truth, of the "Father and the Son". Two Beings in the Godhead, identical in two respects, yet distinct in two respects, as Paul explains in Hebrews 1:3 , and with one ultimately "seated at the right hand" of the other! (Read the entire passage in Hebrews 1: verses 2 thru 13: (a series of quotes from the Old Testament!)) The Son was the Creator (v.2 & 10), the Son became the begotten of the Father, (v.5 & 6), ultimately was elevated to God's Heavenly Throne (v.8 &13).
John was Jesus' closest personal friend! We need to heed his warning and remain alert to the ongoing danger: the spirit and doctrine of Antichrist. Ω

NAGOYA – Toyota Motor Corp. will raise its group global output target for 2013 to around 10.1 million vehicles from the initial 9.94 million as it expects strong sales both at home and abroad, sources said Wednesday.
No automaker in the world has ever produced 10 million vehicles in a single year. Toyota's target includes output by group firms Daihatsu Motor Co. and Hino Motors Ltd.
The projections illustrate the recovery of a company that has battled through a recall crisis, a strong yen and natural disasters for the past four years.
Toyota will set its parent-only production target at 8.9 million units. It will raise its domestic output production goal by around 200,000 units to more than 3.3 million amid steady sales of hybrid vehicles in Japan, the sources said.
However, Toyota may lower its target for overseas output by some tens of thousands of units from 5.6 million announced last year amid signs of a slowdown in emerging Asian economies.
The automaker will announce the new target Friday together with its April-June quarter earnings results. Toyota's full-year profit will probably jump 74 percent to a six-year high of ¥1.68 trillion as the weaker yen bolsters the value of Japanese exports, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
For last year, Toyota had a goal of producing 10.05 million units globally, but the actual production volume stood at around 9.9 million, dragged down by weak sales in China amid the territorial row and ensuing boycott of Japanese products.
In the first half of 2013, Toyota produced 5.05 million units globally, down 3.7 percent from a year earlier.
The company will probably keep production above 10 million units in the coming years, said Masatoshi Nishimoto, a Tokyo-based analyst at IHS Automotive. Volkswagen of Germany will probably reach the milestone in a couple of years, he said.
As for sales, Toyota sold 4.91 million units in the global market in January-June, retaining the top spot. But General Motors and Volkswagen pressed hard on Toyota.

Lopresti: All-Star Game has regained buzz, meaning
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – First, let us pay homage to the All-Star Game with a compliment. At least, it's not the Pro Bowl.
No, this shindig would seem to be healthier than ever — if you don't mind how the running time of the Home Run Derby approaches "Gone With the Wind.'' It still means enough for the New York media to get exercised about pitcher R.A. Dickey of the Mets not starting for the National League.
So Monday was an opportune moment to send Bud Selig an anniversary card. Happy 10th, commissioner!
Ten years ago Monday night, Selig sat in his box at the end of the 11th inning in Milwaukee with the All-Star Game even at 7, noted that neither team had any pitching left, and called it a night. Also, a tie.
You might remember what happened. The public went at Selig with a 38-ounce Louisville Slugger— figuratively speaking. But really, what was the man to do, send two beer vendors to the mound?
Even now, Selig recalls the foreboding feeling from watching managers Joe Torre and Bob Brenly go through their bullpens.
"I remember saying to my wife at some point, 'Boy, I hope these guys know what they're doing,' '' Selig told USA TODAY Sports in a telephone interview Monday, as he made his way from one happy Kansas City venue to another.
"There was nothing else I could have done.''
He admits to being hurt by the beating he took.
"I think I was a little bit, although I've done this now for 20 years, and after awhile, you just … ''
Move on. Ten years later, the rosters have enough pitching arms to last until Thursday — surviving a 15-inning acid test in 2008. World Series home field advantage is now an accepted fact of life, as a carrot.
"Is the game in better shape now? Remarkably so,'' Selig said. "The only people who are hurt and angry now are those who aren't invited.
"Cities are fighting for All-Star Games now. Years ago, in the '90s, I had to beg people to take it, and I'm not joking.''
Ten years ago, the All-Star Game seemed like a sick puppy to Selig. Some players bailed, and others who played acted as if they had a car outside with the engine running, putting in their three innings and then fleeing for the airport. Winning seemed a fleeting thought.
"People think that World Series home field was because of the tie,'' he said. "That's a popular misconception. We were going to change it anyway.
"We didn't have a great system before (alternating years). One year you've got it, the next year I've got it. It wasn't exactly Einstein's theory of relativity on how we picked somebody.''
Best record remains the best idea, but this is just quirky enough to work. Still, there are mixed feelings.
Selig mentioned its first year, in 2003.
"I was sitting next to the American League dugout. All the players on the top step. Looked over at the National League dugout. All the players on the top step.''
Josh Hamilton said some players didn't much care who won this game, then the Texas Rangers dropped consecutive World Series when the National League had home field advantage. "Now, they understand.''
Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox agreed he has noticed a more serious tone in the past five years. "People realize home field advantage is important. The Rangers know it better than anybody.''
But there was this from Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees: "Contrary to popular belief, we always wanted to win.''
No-shows are not extinct. Ian Desmond of the Washington Nationals turned down his invite because of a strained oblique, but played all weekend. Caution is understandable, but he should have been here to make an appearance. Doubtful he would have aggravated it in the limo.
The nine years since 2002 are not especially conclusive. Six of the nine teams with home field advantage won the World Series, but four clinched on the road.
More clear is that the All-Star Game remains able to create a brief but loud buzz, and also serves as a fine teaser for the postseason. The NFL should be so lucky.

Whitney Houston Enrolled in Outpatient Rehab Program
Whitney Houston is taking another step towards sobriety. The pop superstar has enrolled in an outpatient rehab program to battle her publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol.
"I can confirm that Whitney Houston is currently in an outpatient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment," Kristen Foster, Houston's rep, told CNN. "Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process."
According to TMZ.com, Houston checked into a California clinic about 10 days ago, to seek treatment for her addictions. Other than her entry into the facility, no other details regarding the treatment or what led to the singer's decision to seek help were released.
The 'I Will Always Love You' performer was forced to postpone shows on the European leg of her Nothing But Love tour due to her long-standing battle with addiction.
Houston, 47, has publicly battled drugs and alcohol in the past, entering rehab both in 2004 and 2005. Recently, Houston's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina has been caught up in an alleged cocaine scandal of her own.

|XFS Shutdown: EINVAL
|Danny Cox <DCox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
|23 Apr 2002 07:19:38 -0400
Mornin'! I currently have XFS installed on four machines. Last night, on the newest, I had completed the XFS/RH 7.2 install (after much gnashing of teeth, see below), and was using rsync to retrieve the copy of /home I had saved before upgrading (rsync -avcP). I tried several times, but XFS continued to shutdown on the first write attempt each time. /var/log/messages reported: xfs_inotobp: xfs_imap() returned an error 22 on ide0 (3,65). This is indeed the location of /home, on /dev/hdb1, and is a WD 400BB (40 GB Caviar). I looked briefly at the code, and xfs_imap() only has one point that could return an error, on an error return from xfs_dilocate(). 22 is EINVAL, which seems to say that xfs_dilocate doesn't like one or more of it's input args. So, that's the low-level insight. What's it mean at the high level? Note: previously, I was having great difficulty with this installation, because I have one of the motherboards (DFI AK75-EC) which can't handle the Athlon specific mmx_clear_page() and mmx_copy_page(). It was oopsing all over the place. I recompiled the kernel for i686 (see the RH 7.2 release notes), and it seemed fine. In 20/20 retrospect, I see that perhaps I should have blown away /home with mkfs.xfs, and started rsync over, as all bets are off. Sorry, it was late, and I wasn't thinking as clearly as I am now <grin>. Thoughts? Confirmations? Denials? Opinions? Thanks! -- kernel, n.: A part of an operating system that preserves the medieval traditions of sorcery and black art. Danny

Jean-Marie Colombani, Le Monde, Paris, France, Sept. 12, 2001
The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11th left an indelible mark on lives around the world. Ten [Eleven as of 2012] years later, we exist in a world that has, of course, been drastically altered.
I'll leave the meta-fiction of politics and socio-economics to the people who immerse themselves in such things. Instead, we'll be hosting a memorial of writing and art related to the events of September 11th.
This is our memorial to the people affected by the events of September 11th. Today, and during the rest of the week, we will host an array of art. Some of these pieces are elegies, some strike a chord of hope, some show the gritty truth of how some lives have changed. All of them are great works of art by great artists, and we thank them for their contributions.
If you have any images or words to add to this, please contact us!.

flash of time – turn a corner

Tattoo –Luke Salazar
Kid, ya sittin' too close to the TV again.
OK, Granpa.
On the flickering screen
the black and white admiral
addresses his troops.
"Men, as you march forth,
remember how lucky you are
to have the chance to be a hero . . . "
Ah, can't we watch something else
besides this gobbage?
"Remember your God,
remember your Country . . . "
But I like it.
C'mere and look at something, boychik.
The old man rolls up his sleeve.
The child traces a finger along
the five ancient numerals,
the blurry blue triangle beneath.
What's it say, Granpa?
It says
as he points at the TV
that this man here, is a liar.
Wanna watch cartoons instead?
Yeah. I'd like that.
Before life and after death — Daniel Ruiz
When you think of the children,
do you dream in color?
And when we were paraded
as a cause and a sin and a mother's sorrow,
were you surprised we did anything else?
If you take a generation's virginity
with four silver daggers,
two falling towers,
and a shit load
of speeches and committees,
do you expect us to smile at the tax hike?
Do you expect us to know when to stop?
If you are the product of a consequence
never the action,
does the TV lie to soothe
or to shape?
One day you'll be old enough
to do it your kids.
We woke up to falling buildings,
and we are told to dream of burning angels,
and we were reminded of our loss,
and we have forgotten something greater.
We made heroes into advertisements,
we made villains into elections,
we made innocents into revenge,
we have forgotten something greater.
Working the Angles — Eric Morago
Would you like to buy some chocolate for Jesus?
he asks, waving candy bars like tickets he's scalping
for a concert—one he's certain I want into.
It is September 2002—the sun is a violent lover.
I am more sweat than blood, and wonder what miracle
keeps chocolate from melting in his hands.
They're toffee, he points out,
as if it makes a difference.
I tell him, No thanks.
His smile is an accordion, stretching as he says,
Jesus loves you,
then compressing when I walk away.
The next day he's at it again, working the angles—
the overweight and under-will-powered,
old ladies with costume jewelry crosses
hanging from their necks like bullseyes,
parents of sugar-starved children who recognize
the word no as a grenade pin they don't dare pull.
He asks for charity from all but one—
a dark-skinned man in a turban.
Would it really offend Jesus
if offered chocolate from a Muslim?
Would the nougat be any less sweet?
He seems to think so,
and I am sad for this world.
Give me one instead where Jesus and Mohammad
sit around eating Hershey's Kisses,
waiting for Krishna to arrive with devil's food cake.
September Twelfth, 2001 — X.J. Kennedy
Two caught on film who hurtle
from the eithy-second floor,
choosing between a fireball
and to jump holding hands,
aren't us. I wake beside you,
stretch. Scratch, taste the air,
the incredible joy of coffee
and the morning light.
Alive, we open eyelids
on our pitiful share of time,
we bubbles rising and bursting
in a boiling pot.
from Good Poems for Hard Times ed. by Garrison Keillor
On Reading of the Death of Two More — Jessica Drawbond-Page
April 4, 2004: Two Shiite Muslim followers of militant Iraqi cleric Moqtada Sadr are killed early in the day after throwing themselves in front of American tanks during a demonstration in Baghdad.
If it happened
as it was written
to the daughter of Zion,
he came into Jerusalem
riding on a colt.
And the people cried out
so the stones didn't have to,
and they covered His path
with their cloaks,
still moist with perspiration,
and with leaves
from the sun.
And in between shouts of ecstasy
and relief
that the world might at last become whole
the sigh
of the waving of palm fronds
could be heard
and the light crunching,
like the breaking of crackers,
under the colt's feet.
Two millennia
and four years later
on Palm Sunday
in Baghdad,
534 miles
two men
their cloaks
rising and bowing
in the warm wind
of the morning.
As they hear
the approach of the cavalry,
they sigh deeply,
wanting to release all doubt,
and throw their bodies down
on the path of the Abrams tank
that makes the earth shudder,
and makes the stones shake,
and hurries the pulse of each man
crying out
to God
so the soldiers will know.
And in between shouts of ecstasy
and horror,
the wind through the palms
can be heard
and the wet grinding
of human bodies,
like the breaking
of crackers
in uncertain hands.
September 12th — Scott Creley
September 12th, 2001
after X.J. Kennedy
The bodies falling from the towers
could be coins flipping end over end
through black smoke water,
could be hard blurry rain piercing
carbon saturated clouds to bounce off of
the pavement and shatter.
Could be anything but people
choosing the ground instead of the fire.
Later that night, near cable airport,
I sit will on the hood
of my Lincoln and marvel
that the sky is empty of airplanes.
I will think that the silence is starved
for the roar of a rotary engine
churning through thin frozen air,
But that night, out in the black,
There are only the dewy afterimages
of satellites weaving in and out
of ghost-story constellations.
Although I cannot see it,
I will know those dim, blinking lights
are howling back digital echoes
of all those people plunging earthward,
a hard rain of ones and zeros,
so absent of the merciful grace
of leaves shaken from a tree,
of a paper airplane swooping low,
of ash drifting to rest on rooftops.
Teaching Training 9/11 [An excerpt from Teacher at Point Blank] from Aunt Lute Books– Jo Scott-Coe
Before school on September 11, 2001, bad AM radio in my car in the parking lot blares what everyone else is hearing or has already heard: The World Trade Center towers. They're down. Oh my God. It's confirmed.
There's a stunned, quiet quality to the morning as faculty pass each other outside buildings and in corridors, whisper or turn away shaking our heads. There's latent, disturbing excitement as well: Will something else happen? Will a building, a bomb, a plane explode somewhere in L.A.? During the morning's first class, one of my freshmen bursts in wearing a red, white and blue tank top (perhaps selected as her mother listened to the news?). She whoops, arms held up over her head, cheerleader style: "Yeah! U–S–A!"
"Stop," I say as she flops into her desk. "It's not a football game."
I can't exactly blame her for not knowing how to show she takes the tragedy seriously. Many students seem extra watchful for cues from us, yet this sad and scary morning, no direction is forthcoming from the central administration, from any unified body of adults. It occurs to me how, almost twenty years earlier, I had been scratching notes in Government class when our principal's voice came across the intercom to briefly acknowledge the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. Today there are no sober announcements, no moments of silence. All of us seem wandering as if expecting a divine, or at least official, voice to name the moment. By the next day, someone suggests we assemble students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance outside, under the campus flag. Everyone is encouraged to wear red, white and blue to show unity. I suggest black. Some of us do wear black. […]
Ah, That the World Could Be L.A. — John Brantingham
Instead of taking roll every morning,
I ask my students a question of the day,
and this morning's question is what
other time period would they have liked
to have lived in. It's a fairly banal question,
but they have fun with it, especially
a group of four friends sitting in the back
who all say they wished they could be
a part of the Crusades. When it's Sepehr's
turn, my one Persian student, he turns
to them and in a fist shaking parody
of what we see presented in movies
and on television, he says "I would
like to live during the Crusades too."
This is the Los Angeles I'm so in love with.
The ones sitting in the back were serious
about wanting to Crusade, and maybe
Sepehr's answer was only half joking,
but the Middle East is the Middle East,
and it's as far away as it could be,
and they all like Sepehr, and in fact
in the class, Ben, a conservative Jew is
Sepehr's closest friend, and the two leave
the classroom later talking about their
weekend plans. Perhaps, LA is as vanilla
and plastic as the world says it is,
and maybe out here we've lost touch
with the traditional values of the East,
but in the end, I believe I'd take this peace
over that kind of authenticity every single time.
A Year — Lloyd Aquino
The night I turned twenty-one, I hid behind a locked door and toilet
and cried harder than I had at my grandfather's funeral two years earlier.
Voices on the other side were saying sorry but plans had to change
and they hoped I understood that I would be going to Tahoe without them.
My sister somehow found her way inside our parents' bathroom,
putting arms around me. I couldn't stop crying.
The recording of my voice on loop, the play button stuck in place,
the frequency only I could hear. Saying things that hurt like only truth could.
Things fell apart the first and only time I've fallen in love.
The day the power went out at Cal Poly, the girl got her hands around
my heart, lungs, throat, then squeezed until viscera ran down her wrists.
She did it with a simple sentence: I hope my boyfriend's dad is okay.
Then she did it again and again, a little gentler each time
or maybe every inch of my body just grew accustomed to the sensation.
Once with a guitar. Once with a pickup truck on the Fourth of July.
Once on the day I drank snakebite and shook her boyfriend's hand.
Then I tried to find God in a library cubicle, but he wasn't there.
He wasn't at the bottom of an empty bottle either, not the day
I drank alone because the mountains were whiter than I'd ever seen,
not the night I passed out laughing at my sister's disgust
on our parents' front lawn. God wasn't in the toilet either,
no matter how much I screamed for him, the echo chamber
making me nauseous. I let my hair grow out from winter to summer
and hid from every camera. I spun my car out entering the 57,
cursed it the whole way from Diamond Bar to Chino the day the transmission blew
and I couldn't afford a tow truck, wanted nothing more than to beat it
with a bat the day after it saved my life on the 60 freeway.
I punched a few walls. The day of my father's birthday I told the girl I loved
how that felt in a letter left on a windshield and didn't see her again
for three weeks. I parked my new used car and shut the garage door.
Left the engine on, turned the radio up, and screamed.
I told myself later it was all an accident.
The morning I turned twenty-two, I wore a black shirt sleeve sewn shut
on one end to hide the last bad haircut I ever paid for. I walked on tiptoe
the exact minute my mother gave birth after nineteen hours of labor
so as not to wake her. I turned on the television and kept the volume low.
I never turned on the television in the morning. A building fell,
and I thought of Las Vegas and demolition.
I only saw the second plane. Then the afterimages.
The day I turned twenty-two, people were apologetic in one breath,
then insistent in the next on celebration. I opened presents in front of the television.
Talking heads on loop, the on button stuck in place, a frequency
everyone wanted to hear even though it hurt. There was cake and too many hands
squeezing my shoulder, meaning reassurance, only causing muscles to spasm.
I walked out to be alone and studied the empty California sky.
And for the first time in a year, I thought of something other than myself.

All wonderful expressions of personal loss at a time of such public loss. Good on ya.
I never know how exactly I feel about any of this. The only thing ever is just to keep going on openly and directly.

Good but room for improvement: Celebrity Constellation Cruise Review by Dianelo
Overall Member Rating
Good but room for improvement
Destination: Other
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
I enjoyed the cruise and had a great time but since our last cruise 5 night cruise with Celebrity in 2011 we were a little disappointed. We could definitely see the cuts Celebrity has made.
Boarding was easy and quick. Walked on the boat and had to look for the welcoming mimosa. The girl giving them out looked surly and was not very welcoming. Almost looked like we inconvenienced her!
Formal night dropped the lobster and baked Alaska which we were looking forward too. Had we known this we would have skipped bringing the formal wear.
Buffet food was okay but not very warm most of the time. We found the buffet food was not as good as our first cruise. Desserts in buffet also not as good or plentiful!
Cruise director seemed non existent except being filmed in various parts of the ship. Zumba instructor amazing! House band not so good! We didn't take in any shows More in the theatre so cannot comment on that.
Spent most of the time on the boat by the pool. Great waiter staff in this area! Big shout out to Germaine!
Dining room staff in anytime dining absolutely fabulous! Domingos and his crew provided friendly amazing service. We joined friends one night downstairs for set time seating and the service was terrible. The waiter came to take my order first and I was not ready so I requested that he start with someone else first and he walked away from the table and came back 15 minutes later. Water was not refilled or filled at all, cutlery not taken away and service just bad in general. At the end of the meal the waiter said he had a special surprise for us for dessert and brought us all the same dessert. We didn't like the dessert and would have rather ordered off the menu. Coffee and tea were also not offered.
We had a balcony room and again were very pleased with the room and service.
We enjoyed Key West and the trolley tour! We had visited Cozumel before and found the port area shopping changed and not as nice.
Ship itself is fairly nice but they had issues with the ceiling planks falling down by the pool one day. One of the planks actually fell down and hit a lady. Another plank was not fixed until we pulled into port.
All and all it was a great cruise but not sure if I would bother taking a five day cruise with Celebrity again. Less

She took her musical talents to New York and Munich, Germany, this summer for performances, and before she returns to New York for another engagement, Dr. Sarah Chan, assistant professor of music at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, will perform a piano recital in Herod Hall Auditorium in Alva.
The recital of French Impressionism, Spanish Nationalism and French-Polish Romanticism is Sunday, Sept. 29, at 2 p.m., and is free and open to the public.
Chan is an international artist, scholar and educator who has engaged a residency of musical artistry, scholarship and teaching across three continents.
As a concert pianist, Chan has garnered numerous prestigious awards through the years and has performed all over the world.
Chan, originally from Hong Kong, received her training in the United States and in France. Her areas of expertise include piano performance and literature, with additional concentrations in music theory/theory pedagogy, composition and voice.
At Northwestern, Chan is the director of keyboard studies/music theory and history. She additionally teaches French, and directs the annual Northwestern Piano Festival for pre-college students. This year's event is set for March 1 with an entry deadline of Feb. 15.
Chan teaches classes at Northwestern that lead to a major or minor in piano performance for those who have a solid background in pre-college piano training and are interested in pursuing piano performance, piano teaching and/or accompanying as primary areas of collegiate study and profession. She also teaches piano classes to those desiring to develop their keyboard skills.

Poroporoaki ki a Parekura Horomia
Poroporoaki ki a Parekura Horomia
Monday 29 April 2013
Hon Dr Pita Sharples; Hon Tariana Turia; Te Ururoa Flavell
Kua eke te kohu ki runga o Titirangi,
pokarekare ana nga wai o Uawa-nui-a-Ruamatua, kapi katoa ana
te ao torangapu whanui i raro i te kakahu putaratara, a,
haehae ana te ngakau tangata
He mamae, he mamae i a koe e Parekura kua riro atu nei haere e te Kaita o te whakaaro nui ki tenei mea ki te tangata e pepehatia nei ko ia te mea nui o te ao haere!
Whakatauiratia mai e koe te momo e kiia ana ko te kanohi kitea ina te motu ko to kainga tera, me ona tini kauapa tae atu ki ona huihuinga tangata katoa a uhunga nei a whakanui hunga ora nei kare he aha ki a koe. Pau te kaha, pau te wa, ko te aroha o to ngakau tera e arahi nei i a koe, ao pÅ, po ao, mutunga kore nei!
Kotahi anake te huarahi ka arohia e te tangata a nga ra
nei a hunuku atu nga karangatanga maunga maha ki to maunga
kore nekeneke ki a Hikurangi; moe mai e te Reo taketake o
Te Ikaroa Rawhiti e te rangatira moe mai okioki mai!
The Maori Party is mourning the loss of our dear comrade, our friend, and our whanaunga - Parekura TÅ«reia Horomia, of Te Aitanga a Hauiti, Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu and Ngai Tahu.
"Words cannot express the sadness that we feel. He was such an open and warm person, he was always there to support each and every one of us when we needed it."
"I have loved Parekura as a great friend - not just since his early days in Parliament, but before that. We both worked on employment, when he was stamping his mark on CEGS" said Co-leader Tariana Turia. "He was a confidant; my special mate through thick and thin, and I am heartbroken to lose him."
"Although many tributes will be expressed, his greatest legacy will be in the heartfelt memories of whÄnau throughout Aotearoa. Over many years I have known Parekura to do a full day's work, then leave Wellington late at night and travel all over the country to pay his respects to those who have passed on.
He would quietly slip in, provide comfort to the whÄnau pani, and then slip back out, driving all night for a full day of appointments ahead. That absolute compassion and love for the people will never be forgotten," said Mrs Turia.
"Parekura will always have my respect for the dedication and commitment he gave to the people in his time as Minister of MÄori Affairs" said Pita Sharples. "He was a community man, he came out of Mangatuna like a breath of fresh air. He was sharp, witty, and also strong, and he took that great flair and passion to Parliament to advocate for the needs of our communities."
"The last time I saw him in action was just ten days ago, when Parekura stood as the first speaker to welcome seventy Pacific leaders to parliament. His utter determination to welcome these rangatira to our Parliament demonstrated the importance he placed on he tangata, he tangata, he tangata".
"As new MÄori MPs in 2005, Parekura welcomed us as one MÄori to another; always according us due respect and that incredible sense of manaakitanga that he was loved around the motu for," said Te Ururoa Flavell. "Whether on the campaign trail or across the debating chamber Parekura always debated with great humour and an inbuilt respect for tikanga me ona kaupapa".
"Most of all, I think we will all remember him for his big heart, his aroha, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga. It was always a great pleasure to see him here in Parliament, because no matter what Party we were in - we were always comrades in arms, friends, and whanaunga."
"Parekura will be remembered as one of our most loved MPs. Our thoughts at this time go out to his three sons, and his wider whanau who will be mourning the loss of their father, brother, uncle, and Koro."
"Moe mai e te rangatira, moe mai e te hoa. Hoki rerenga
kotuku ai ki to wahine, ki to whanau ki tua o te arai.
Haere, haere, haere atu ra.

Want to love it
Honestly, I got compliment with this black shirt, and I love the cutting and basic style so much, I got L and I usually in S or M. But it's getting bigger and bigger after 2 hours, and the black colour is like"washed black" and looks "old" after one was. I will buy again if the materials changed. One star deducted for the fabric.h
probably one of my new favorite shirts!
I normally wear either a medium at Free People and this top in a medium was perfect. It's stretch so it's very flattering. The sleeves are nice and long, and I'm tall, so for me to say that, it's very positive! I love this shirt, it's simple and basic but the material and the cut are so flattering! I will wear this all season!
Cute basic!
I like my basics to be not so basic...because anybody can buy a black vneck tshirt - right? This is super cute in the black. The white contrast really pops and livens up my look eve for a quick trip to the grocery store (you never know who you might run into). For a basic tee this is anything but boring. Can easily be dressed up too for an "I don't care but I still look amazing" sort of look.n

The steppes of AsiaThese make up the whole of the central part of Asia. They border long strips of true deserts (in the south) and forests (in the north); in fact they separate these two extremes. The steppes of Russia have in parts a very fertile soil known as 'the black soil'. This is often found in steppe-lands and belongs to the 'pedocal' class, which means that there is not enough rainfall to remove the soluble mineral plant foods and in consequence the soil is extremely fertile. For centuries the population on the steppes of central Asia was largely nomadic, but now the steppes form the agriculture basis of the Russian economy, and heavy industries have been developed there.
The Great Plains of North AmericaTravelers in airplanes over the western part of the United States are often struck by the huge expanses of cultivated and semi-cultivated land situated mainly on the plateaus of Colorado, Nevada, and Oregon. These regions are collectively called the Great Plains and until recently were almost barren apart from low grass and scrub.
Steppes of South AmericaSome of the largest areas of steppes are in South America where they have various names. In Venezuela they are called 'Ilanos', in the Amazon region they are called 'Chaco' and in the basin of Paraguay and Argentine they are called the 'Pampas'. These regions are cultivated much more than in Asia.
The formation of the steppe lands of the world
The main reason why steppes exist at all is because of the lack of rainfall. This is too low to enable normal or exuberant plant growth, but is too high to allow the region to become a desert. Where there is high rainfall, the steppes tend to develop into forests and jungles. Where the rainfall is less there is insufficient plant growth to bind or renew the soil. This then leads to desert formation. There are two factors which control the rainfall in steppe regions. The first is the geographic situation. Steppes are usually far inland (e.g. The Asiatic Steppes) so that most rain clouds have lost their rain by the time they arrive. If they are not far inland then they are surrounded by mountains which cause the clouds to precipitate their rain before reaching the steppes. Thus the steppes in depressions between the Caspian and Aral seas are surrounded by mountains and the weather over pampas is controlled mainly by the Andes to the west. The second factor controlling the rainfall rises out of the first. The atmospheric conditions over steppes are usually anticyclonic. This means, in effect, that high-pressure air is surrounded by low-pressure with the result that there is an ascending column of cold and dry air on the high-pressure zone, which results in cold and dry weather.

Sometimes opposites attract.
KTTH host Michael Medved on Monday interviewed hip-hip impresario Russell Simmons, an extremely liberal vegan who claims he's even further left than Dennis Kucinich. Simmons is a successful entrepreneur who founded the clothing line Phat Farm, and was one of the founders of the hip-hop label Def Jam, which launched the careers of such artists as The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, and the thrash band, Slayer.
Simmons came to the Medved show to talk about his new meditation book, and the pair wound up discussing everything from animal rights to Christianity, Hillary Clinton, primates, and whether Medved should be on Fox News.
Michael Medved: You've been a successful entrepreneur.
Russell Simmons: I've sold a few companies; I've built a lot more. I make many movies, many TV shows. I run five charities.
Medved: What people may not have heard about yet is your new book, "Success through Stillness: Meditation Made Simple."
Simmons: I'm addicted to [meditation]. The first time I went, there were a lot of pretty girls in the class. I went to a yoga class. Within a couple of years, I learned to meditate. I've been very addicted to it. It's a good addiction. You're always chasing that stillness. If you've ever saw a sunset and everything was awake, alive, that beauty from stillness. You're always chasing it. I got that when I came out of my first class. I was so high – I had been sober for six years and I felt like, wow, this is the greatest high I've ever had. I was so addicted to this presence.
Medved: But this presence is really within, it's not a larger spiritual force outside of yourself?
Simmons: People are very afraid of this idea of quiet time in schools. It's my main goal to get kids to sit still and experience quiet time. It's a more expansive mindset. There's greater brain function; you're not letting the doors between left and right side close out. All of that stuff is very helpful to kids. It's helpful to adults. You better watch your thoughts and not react emotionally to every thought that comes to your brain. I think that's what everyone is seeking.
Medved: Before you came on the show, we were talking about hatred in politics. Usually, it ends up that one side says, 'Well, the other side is haters,' and you hear this on both sides right now. You hear it on the left; you hear it on the right. The accusation is the other side hates. Does hate coexist with the kind of mediation you're talking about?
Simmons: No. When you sit still and grow a more compassionate, sweeter spirit, that's what's really in you. This idea is more natural in humans than the other. And when you don't have things covering up the heart, the heart exudes love.
Medved: You think that's true for all people?
Simmons: I think that people innately have an interest in loving, not feeding this negative cycle of hate. They don't really like it. It's kind of a disease; it's addictive. Homophobia, [is] a disease; sexism, racism, they're all diseases.
Medved: You know there's a lot of research in terms of primitive human beings that almost all human societies were cannibalistic. The primates we're supposedly related to, chimpanzees in particular, are nasty beasts. They eat each other and kill each other a lot. Why do you assume human beings are different?
Simmons: That assumption comes from my own meditation and from all scripture. I'm not a religious person, but Muhammad, Buddha, Jesus Christ and the Yogi sutra, the Bodhisattva, promotes what's inside is love. Jesus said, 'Be still and know.' He promoted that in the heart was goodness, that there was a piece of god in that.
Medved: But you need God, and you need some effort to extract that. Would you say that some of those deeply religious people, for instance the al Qaeda folks who had marks on their foreheads from praying five times per day – they're very serious about prayer?
Simmons: I'm not an atheist, my brother is a preacher. Look at it this way, Jesus was not a Christian, Abraham was not a Jew, Muhammad was not a Muslim, and Buddha was not a Buddhist. The gangs started after they passed. The words, what they taught, are different from joining our gang and acting accordingly. Their words were to move toward God by whatever name.
Medved: I can't speak to you in an informed way about what Krishna said. But in terms of the Old Testament and the New Testament, I don't think many people would agree with you there.
Simmons: About what?
Medved: The idea that you can call God by any name.
Simmons: They may not. I do study a little religion, but what I mostly study is yogic scripture. This idea about the oneness of God, realizing this kingdom, it comes through a still mind. So if in fact one sits and the mind settles, inside what's left is God. A piece of God. If God were the ocean, you'd be a cup of God. This is a concept of being in a union.
Medved: But getting back to this discussion of human being as basically good – James Madison, who's known as a father of the Constitution, he was our fourth president, he said, 'If men were angels, we would need no laws.'
Simmons: If we all meditated, we would have no wars. If all children meditated, there would be no war.
Medved: You're a strict vegetarian – you know who was a very, very strict vegetarian?
Simmons: Hitler. I'm a vegan. I'm an animal rights activist. This domain over the animals doesn't mean chopping up 40 billion animals per year, cause them to destroy the environment and waste all the resources, and give us cancer. That was not the plan.
Medved: Do you believe a vegan diet and mediation actually help to promote world peace?
Simmons: Absolutely.
Medved: You made a statement when we were getting ready to talk, you said on politics, you're to the left of Dennis Kucinich, which makes you well left of Barack Obama. Who would you like to see as our next president?
Simmons: Dennis, I guess. I'm going to end up supporting Hillary [Clinton], she's a buddy. I've been a friend of the Clintons for many years. It was tough picking Barack over her.
Medved: Who are some of the many Republicans you've supported?
Simmons: Only Michael Steele once. When he became the GOP leader, he became a caricature a bit. I liked his stance on the prison industrial complex. He understood that the prison industrial complex has ruined the fabric of the African American community when you have 94.5 percent of the people in jail for drug use.
Medved: You know who's been talking about that a bit, Sen. Rand Paul. Do you like Rand Paul?
Simmons: Yeah, absolutely. We have to have a politics discussion. I feel like you don't like my politics.
Medved: I don't dislike politics I don't agree with.
Simmons: You should work for Fox News; you should sit there where [Sean] Hannity sits or the other angry birds.
Medved: [laughs] I'm not angry though, that's the problem.
Simmons: I think it's good though. You give a good interview. People listen.

Blue in the Community - Relay for Life
Several Blue Cross employees participate in the Shawnee County Relay for Life, a fund raising event benefiting the American Cancer Society.
The annual overnight event is designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of the American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
Blue Cross employees, friends and family teamed up in the fight against cancer by joining the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in June 2011 at Hayden High School in Topeka. The BCBSKS team raised $7,695 for the event.
