Art as a search for freedom
New Delhi, Aug 1 (IANS) Artists desire the freedom to tread their chosen path and to show to the world a part of their souls. A group art show titled "Freedom of Thought" in the capital last week beautifully presented the journey of many artists as a celebration of colours and emotions.
Each participating artist expressed his or her voice through the painting and sculpture exhibition, conceptualized by Jyoti Kalra of the Uchaan Art Gallery.
"Art is the best way to showcase all kinds of feelings or moods. That's freedom," Kalra told IANS.
"Art is everywhere. It is only the inspiration that gives you a visualization of it," she said.
Deepali Jain, whose series of portraits represented the modern-day woman performing different roles, used art to depict the emotions she goes through in her everyday life.
"I have tried to depict the emotions that I feel while performing all my responsibilities as a woman. There is a representation of the woman as the breadwinner of the house, a loving mother, as somebody who takes care of the house and the family," Jain told IANS.
"As far as the style in concerned, I have tried to use elements of Chinese paintings in acrylic. The work is done in bold black," she explained.
For Sunita Agarwal, who feels attracted to the portrayal of human emotions, "art is the medium to a magical world of feelings".
"It allows you to express yourself freely. I observe my surroundings and get inspired to work as an artist" she said.
One of her paintings was a "representation of childhood's freeness and happiness" and another one "the depiction of a girl's desire to grow fast as she drapes herself in her mother's sari and jewellery".

Chapter 11: The Bliss of Yoga
The Bliss of Brahman
Now we describe the nature of Absolute Bliss, or Brahmananda, by realising which in actual experience one is totally freed from all sorrow, instantly. One attains to supreme satisfaction, incomparable in nature, and quite apart from the ordinary happiness with which a mortal being is familiar. There are innumerable passages in the various Upanishads which state that Brahman is Bliss, and by attaining it one becomes immortal. The Taittiriya Upanishad says that one who knows Brahman reaches at once the highest state. The Mundaka Upanishad says that one who knows Brahman becomes Brahman itself. The Chhandogya Upanishad declares that the knower of the Atman crosses beyond all sorrow, and one who is established in Brahman attains immortality. the Taittiriya Upanishad, again, compares the Bliss of Brahman to Rasa, or the quintessential essence, the highest taste conceivable, and it is said that having obtained this essence, one enjoys divine bliss. We are also told that one who has gained perfect establishment in that super-sensible Brahman becomes absolutely fearless, and he who tries to see a difference in it, even in the least, has fear from all sides. That the Jiva is an integral part of Brahman, inseparable in nature, and identical with it in essence, is the import behind the whole teaching. The Jiva-consciousness, which is mostly characterised by egoism in some form or other, tries to create a difference between itself and the Reality, not only in its activities, but even in its thoughts and feelings. It is this erroneous notion on the part of the Jiva that explains its Samsara, its suffering. Everything in this creation works in rhythm, and in unison with the perfect and inexorable law of the Absolute, and so pain should be the inevitable consequence of the attempt of the Jiva to break away from this universal law. Even the deities, the celestials, the denizens of heaven, in short, all things, stand in a state of perfect and harmonised relation with the Supreme Being. It is as if for fear of this Being that everyone performs his allotted duty without failure. It is impossible for anyone, at any time, to get away scot-free by violating the universal law, by asserting selfishness, however slight it may be. The Law of Brahman is utterly just and absolutely impartial. Therefore, it is the duty of everyone to maintain a consciousness of harmony with its existence, and it is this maintenance of a perpetual consciousness of harmony with Reality that goes by the name of Yoga. One who knows in experience the Bliss of Brahman fears not from anything and lives the true life of freedom from all grief and of deathless delight.
The Taittiriya Upanishad says that one who knows the Atman regards it as the only Reality, and is permanently established in that Consciousness, and then nothing that he has done or not done, viz., no Karma whatsoever, can affect him, or torment him. The results of action no more worry him. They may be there or not there - he is just not concerned with them. Abandoning, thus, both these Karmas, done as well as not done, he considers that everything is a manifestation of the Atman alone. "All this is the Atman alone" to him, says the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. Having regarded everything as an appearance of the Absolute Atman, he feels the presence of the Atman even in these Karmas and, naturally, it seems then that they should not be a source of trouble any more. In his case the knots of the heart, i.e., the connections apparently established between the Consciousness and the mind, are broken and the Consciousness stands supreme in its own Self without external relations, either with the mind, or the body, or the object outside. All the doubts are rent asunder and there remain no misgivings within in regard to the real nature of the Atman, or the world. The Karmas, too, perish and, excepting that the Prarabdha-Karma seems to linger on for some time notwithstanding that the Jivanmukta has no concern with it consciously, all the Karmas in his case drop off from his consciousness the moment he beholds the Eternal. He transcends death by knowing that resplendent Divine Being, and the scripture is emphatic that there is no other way to attain this state than direct realisation (na anyah pantha vidyate). By knowing and realising that splendid Existence, the Supreme Being, there is a cutting off of all bondage in the form of likes, dislikes, anger, and the like, and all these afflictions of the soul having crossed, there is a cessation of rebirth. Rebirth is due to the remnant of unfulfilled desires. When they are no more, there is no rebirth, too. By an inner vision of the Supreme Atman, one gets rid of pairs of opposites, like exhilaration and grief, etc., caused by events in the world, and that unusual hero who is adorned with a rare moral toughness within, sets aside both merit and demerit, which mean so much to the ordinary individual. One attains to supreme transcendence (Kaivalya Moksha). There are statements in the scriptures which affirm that Brahman is Ananda, or Bliss, and its realisation puts an end to all sorrow and affliction.
Happiness may be spiritual, intellectual or sensory. These three types of happiness are being discussed here in detail. In the Taittariya Upanishad we learn that Bhrigu approaches his father for wisdom and hears from his father the nature of Brahman as that which is the cause of all things, the sustenance of all things and also the end of all things. Bhrigu tries to investigate Brahman in his own experience and passes, stage by stage, from the physical to the vital, from the vital to the mental, from the mental to the intellectual, and from the intellectual to the blissful layers of experience. He does not go beyond Bliss, and recognises that Spiritual Bliss is the source of everything, and everything lives on account of this Bliss and returns finally into this Bliss, at the end of time. Brahman should definitely be Eternal Bliss in nature.
The Nature of the Infinite
Prior to the creation of this world, there was the One, undivided Absolute, unconditioned by the differences of the seer, the seeing and the seen. There was that divine, Infinite Brahman, above the differences of knower, knowledge and known. It was without distinction of space, time and causality. This difference starts only when the Jiva arises as an evolute at the time of creation, wherein are the intellect as the seer, the mind as the process of seeing, and the various external objects as the seen. No such thing ever was before creation. This state of feeling is faintly indicated in such relapses of consciousness as in Samadhi, sleep and swoon. Sage Sanatkumara asserts that Bhuma, or the Plenum (fullness, completeness) alone is Bliss. There is no Bliss in the finite things which are subject to the distinction of knower, knowledge and known. This was the reply given by the Sage to Narada who complained about the dissatisfaction of his mind and the grief that was tormenting him in spite of his vast learning and proficiency in the arts and the sciences. Well, prior to learning there is only the triple affliction from the internal, external and celestial causes, but after it comes there is the pain of committing it to memory, the possibility of forgetting it, the chances of humiliation before more learned ones, and also the likelihood of priding oneself in front of learned ones. With all this grief, Narada approaches Sanatkumara requesting to be taken to what is beyond all sorrow. Sanatkumara's answer is that Bliss is what is beyond sorrow, and it is only in the Absolute; it is not to be found anywhere else. Certainly it is not the happiness that one is accustomed to in this world, because the happiness of the world is entangled in many troubles and afflictions, and often it brings only sorrow as its consequence. Hence it is the opinion of Sanatkumara that all earthly happiness is pain only in another guise and he gradually asserts that wherever there is a perception of a second to oneself, it should be considered as finite and a source of unhappiness, and where there is no second to oneself, it is the Infinite, and it is Bliss. The Non-dual Infinite is not directly experienced by mortals, yet it is the consequential effect of the experience of the relativity of things, and naturally it does not require any proof to establish its existence, because of its Self-luminosity.
The Example of Deep Sleep
Prior to the creation of the dualistic world there must have been only the non-dual condition, since there is no other alternative at all. This is known to us as a semblance in the state of deep sleep. One's own sleep is a valuable proof of it. Sleep does not stand in need of any other proof, though the experiences of others are inferred by us from their behaviour, etc. Our own experiences are not so inferred, but are directly known, as, for example, in deep sleep, where we are sure of our existence though there are no mind and senses functioning. This conviction is what is meant by Self-luminosity. In the state of deep sleep, there is absolutely no grief. Even the blind, the sick and the wounded have no such feelings of deformity, then. Thus, we have to conclude that the absence of sorrow in sleep is felt by us directly and positively, and inasmuch as there is no sorrow at all, we cannot identify it with anything other than happiness. Else, there can be no reason why people should take so much pain in preparing beddings, and so on, to go to sleep, even at the cost of wealth and much inconvenience. There is definitely something positive in deep sleep which is to be investigated.
The happiness of deep sleep should be considered as positive and not merely as an attempt to forget the pains of the world. Even healthy persons who have everything that they want and cannot be said to have any pain whatsoever, go to sleep and find there is happiness which is incomparable. Though the arranging of soft bed, etc. at the time of entering into the state of sleep may be regarded as sensory in the sense that it is born of a contact of the tactile sense with an object, viz., soft bed, yet, the happiness of deep sleep is not born of any such contact. Tired by the activities of the world and seeking for a place of rest to remove this fatigue, one tries to go to sleep and prepares several means for this purpose, such as soft bed, etc. The truth, however, is that there is a total dissatisfaction with the business of life, because, the Jiva, though it may not be aware of it, is wandering away from the source of happiness when it moves amongst the objects of the world. Whenever there is a dualistic experience, the mind is naturally in a state of aberration and cannot be satisfied until it reverts to the natural state of unity. Soft bed etc., is only a preparation for this natural rest which it finds when the distinction of the knower, knowledge and known is transcended, and duality is completely negated. All mental activities in a world of space, time and cause should, thus, be regarded as unnatural from the point of view of the Supreme Absolute. It is to forget its miserable plight in the world that the Jiva runs to Brahman constantly in order that it may become one with its supernal Bliss.
In the Upanishad, the examples of a falcon, a hawk, a child, a king and a wise man are given to illustrate the nature of Divine Bliss which far surpasses the pleasures of the dualistic world of desires. Just as the falcon, which is tethered to a peg or held firmly in the hand by means of a string, may try to fly higher and higher, but cannot find a place of rest till it returns to the source to which it is tied; just as a hawk may soar to lofty heights throughout the day in all directions but must return to its own nest at the end of the day for final rest, it being possible for it to find real satisfaction and true freedom and peace only in its own nest; just as a small child lying happily on a tiny beautiful bed after having drunk deep from the mother's breast smiles lovingly and appears to be an embodiment of happiness due to the fact that it is completely free from the distinction of 'mine' and 'thine' and from the afflictions of and likes and dislikes; just as an emperor who is the master of a large empire, who has all the conceivable pleasures of the world, and has the joy of having possessed everything and living unopposed and uncontested, may be regarded as an embodiment of the climax of satisfaction among human beings; so does a person who is well-versed in the scriptures and is established in Brahman, having attained the peace that comes by the realisation of having done everything that is necessary to be done and having obtained everything and known everything, having reached the summit of wisdom, have a different kind of happiness altogether, beyond all the happiness of the world, due to a direct communion with Brahman.
All these types of happiness are due either to a slight reflection of the Bliss of Brahman or a direct experience of it. The Jiva craves for this unearthly happiness and never rests until it finds it. It is for this reason that there is a regular entering into a state of deep sleep by the Jiva after all its frantic attempts at acquiring happiness in the world of objects.
The ignorant condition of a child's mind, the perfectly satisfied condition of an emperor, and the spiritually poised divine condition of the sage, represent three examples in this world of the state of the absence of likes and dislikes, due to which there is a degree of indication of the approximation of the individual to the Absolute. Everyone else who is entangled in the network of likes and dislikes is unhappy in this world, for the obvious reason that in the latter case there is a forgetfulness of the Atman and a constant contemplation of outside objects. When there is union of oneself with one's most beloved possession, there is a forgetfulness of both the internal and external world, and there is a merging of oneself, as it were, in the beloved object. The Jiva is busy with the outward world in the waking state and enters the inner world when it is in the state of dream. In deep sleep it loses its individuality and so does not know whether it is human or animal, with desire or without desire, and knows no distinction whatsoever. In this sense, we may say there is, for the time being, an obliteration of Samsara in the state of deep sleep, the Jiva having been there one with Brahman. It is one's egoism or the personal restricted consciousness relating to its specific qualifications and conditions in life that becomes responsible for one's pleasures and pains in this world. The Upanishad proclaims that when egoism is removed, one goes beyond all the sorrow that afflicts one's heart. The Bliss of sleep and the ignorance that characterises sleep are both experienced by a Consciousness, and this fact is confirmed later on by a memory that one has after waking up from sleep. But for this Consciousness which is permanently present, there would have been no remembrance later on of either one's having had happiness in sleep or one's having known nothing there. This Consciousness is Brahman, says the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, and this Consciousness is Bliss. This ignorance which acts as a covering veil in the state of deep sleep is only a withdrawn condition of the intellectual and mental sheaths which are active in the waking state. This temporary dissolution of the mind is called sleep, and this itself is called ignorance. As ghee can be solidified and melted, the intellect of the Jiva can solidify itself into certain special experiences of the waking state or get merged into the molten condition of complete negativity of experience in sleep. This state is also called Anandamaya-kosa (bliss-sheath).
The mind which is inclined towards sleep prior to the state of sleep gets later dissolved into the state of sleep itself, and while, in this introverted inactive condition it had experienced only a slight reflection of the Bliss of Brahman, it now experiences in deep sleep the same Bliss in a completely withdrawn condition of oblivion and forgetfulness of the world. As there is no ego functioning in the state of deep sleep, one does not feel this experience personally. The personal consciousness is possible only when the ego is active as in the waking state. The Mandukya Upanishad mentions that in the condition of the deep sleep the Jiva is unified as it were, and becomes a mass of Consciousness, enjoys the Bliss of Brahman through the inactive psychoses of the mind, and itself becomes the embodiment of Bliss there. All its ramifications as thoughts, feelings, etc. get unified into one, and, as several grains may be unified into a lump of paste made out of them, all the variegated mental modifications of the waking condition become heavy laden when they get reduced to a harmonious state, as different drops of water may gather into one mass forming mist or snow. This is the medium of the manifestation of the Sakshi-chaitanya, or the Witnessing Consciousness, and it is Bliss itself, as has been explained already, and not merely a state of the absence of pain. It is an experience of positive delight. But with all this experience of Brahmananda in the state of deep sleep, the Jiva hastens back to the waking condition due to certain Karmas working to fulfil their demands in a different state of consciousness. It is on account of these unfulfilled Karmas that one does not continue to exist for long in any particular state of consciousness. There is a constant change of states on account of the change in the manifestation of the Karma forces. When there is waking up due to this reason, the Jiva, for a few minutes, after having experienced sleep, continues to remember the Bliss it experienced there, and retains this conscious condition as a faint recollection of the Bliss of Brahman manifested in sleep.
After the experience of deep sleep, there is a return of the mind to the waking world due to the activity of the Karmas not yet worked out. These Karmas direct the mind of the Jiva in certain particularised channels of activity, which is the business of the waking world. The Bliss of the Absolute experienced in sleep is forgotten by the Jiva instantaneously, because of the sudden switching on of the consciousness to something quite different from what was experienced previously. However, there is an inclination of the mind towards this Bliss experienced prior as well as posterior to the state of deep sleep. This is the reason why there is an unequalled happiness immediately just before and after deep sleep. This, however, does not mean that any inert condition of the personality has any spiritual significance because, here, in an ordinary inert state, there is not even a consciousness of the state in which one is at the time. It is essential to have a vigilant consciousness of the condition in which one finds oneself in order that it may be converted into a step in the spiritual ascent. If one knows very well that the silent condition of the mind without thoughts of objects is the conscious condition of oneself, then, naturally, it would have spiritual value. It is not enough if one is merely silent and sits quiet without doing anything. It is essential also to maintain a steady consciousness in that silent condition of the mind. This is exactly what differentiates between Nidra (sleep) and Samadhi (Super-consciousness).
Mere informative understanding also is not of any significance here. What is essential is experience by an actual living in it, and this cannot be possible unless one lives a dedicated life under an able preceptor and studies the scriptures with faith and devotion. Else, it would be like a person who said that he knew that the Vedas are four, and demanded the present promised to one who knew the four Vedas. Intellectual information is bare featureless description. It does not enter into one's life and cannot affect one's position. A mere reading of words is one thing and the understanding of their meaning is another, and even if there is correct understanding, actual realisation is far above and beyond it. Until actual realisation is attained, it is necessary to serve a preceptor who is established in true wisdom.
Variety in Happiness
When there is the feeling of the possession of a desired object, there is also a temporary cessation of that desire, and the quality of Rajas in the mind which propelled the desire outwardly comes to a cessation. The Rajas having ceased for the time being, there is a quick introversion of the mind and a revelation of the stability of Sattva brought about as a consequence, which occasions a sudden reflection of the Bliss of the Atman within, which makes one happy at the time. Sensual happiness, therefore, is not something imported from the object outside, but really belongs to the Atman within, though, on account of ignorance, the Jiva does not know that this is the fact. The object merely acts as an outward agent causing a temporary cessation of Rajas in the mind and an accidental manifestation of Sattva, wherein the Atman is reflected perspicaciously. Thus, it becomes clear that every sensory happiness of the world is ultimately a distorted expression of Brahmananda. Yet the mistake here lies in the Jiva's wrong notion that the pleasure has come from the object, and its consequent clinging to the object. It is this clinging that causes the sorrow of the Jiva, and its transmigratory life is occasioned by its desires due to love for pleasure. In this world there are only sense-pleasures of various kinds, but the true Bliss of Brahman is never felt at any time except during the short duration of the interval lying between the cessation of a thought and the rise of another. Broadly, we can classify happiness into three groups: 1) Bliss of Brahman experienced in direct realisation; 2) Impression or the Vasana, of it, experienced immediately after waking from deep sleep, etc; 3) Sensory happiness which is the reflection of Brahman Bliss through the psychological organs. Other than these three types, there is no happiness anywhere. However, it does not mean that there are three independent kinds of happiness; the latter two are only manifestations of Brahmananda, or Absolute Bliss. The Bliss of Brahman is manifest in the state of deep sleep in the way explained, and the mind and intellect, working in dream and walking, distract it by the operation of Rajas, externally. The same thing, in fact, appears as the cause in sleep and as effect in the other two conditions. These changes in the states of the Jiva are due to the working of the Karmas of the past, lying hidden as latent forces ready to germinate when suitable circumstances are provided. During the waking state, Consciousness pervades the whole body and is said to be specially active in the right eye; in dream it operates in the region of the throat, and in deep sleep it resides in the heart. There is a gradual widening of the field of Consciousness as it moves from sleep to waking. It is due to the identification of Consciousness with the objects in the waking state that one begins to feel that one is a human being, and so on. Such feelings are connected with bodies and are not relevant to Consciousness as such. The individual is, accordingly, happy, or unhappy, or indifferent, as and when the forces of the Karmas begin to work differently in the different stages of evolution. When there is a complete cessation of both happiness and sorrow, it means that the Karmas are not actively operating. By contact with physical objects, and also by generating of imaginary ideas, happiness and sorrow are possible, but when there is neither of these experiences there is joy which is not born of sense-contact, and in this condition of silence of the mind true spiritual bliss is revealed.
On account of there being a generality of egoism (Ahamkara) in these experiences, the Jiva does not have actual experience of Brahman then, but only the inferential glimpse of it. Egoism is of two kinds, gross and subtle. The gross one is that by which one refers to oneself as "so-and-so", meaning thereby that oneself is a body. The subtle ego is the simple feeling of "I am", without any other association, such as the body, etc. The subtle ego-consciousness prevails even when there is an experience of spiritual happiness, when there are no thoughts of anything in particular, and there is silence of mental activity. Just as we can infer that cool water is in a pot by the feeling of coolness outside the wall of the pot, so can we infer that there should be an Absolute due to the very fact that there is cessation of thought and individuality-sense. In proportion to the forgetfulness of the ego by the practice of Yoga does one gain an insight into the spiritual happiness revealed through the development of a subtle vision within.
The Art of Yoga
The Kathopanishad succinctly describes Yoga as a resting of the senses in the mind, the mind in the intellect, the intellect in the Cosmic Intelligence, and the Cosmic Intelligence in the Supreme Purusha. This is the way of what is called Nirodha-Samadhi, or Super-Conscious State achieved by complete annihilation of all psychic functions. The ego, in this condition, having been transcended and absorbed into larger dimensions of being, the Yogin ceases to be a person any more. The Lord Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavadgita that Brahmananda is the state where there is neither the perception of duality nor experience of sleep. The Lord exhorts us that by the intellect endowed with fortitude, the mind should be gradually brought under control, and when it is once subdued well and fixed in the Atman, one should think nothing at all. Whenever the mind moves astray due its fickle nature born of Rajas, then and there should it be brought back as one does horses with reins. The mind should, thus, be fixed in the Atman. That rare, purified soul whose mind has been purged of Rajas, that Yogin who has become veritably Brahman due to freedom from the impurity of desires, reaches the Bliss which is supreme, wherein, having been controlled by the practice of Yoga, one experiences the Atman by the Atman, and is immensely delighted thereby, wherein is found the absolute supersensible happiness to be visualised only by the higher rarefied intelligence, wherein established one does not shake, or oscillate from Truth at any time, by obtaining which one does not think that there is any gain other than that, and having rooted oneself in which one is not affected by even the most tormenting of sorrows – that is to be known as Yoga, the dissociation of oneself from union with pain. This is to be achieved by firm conviction in this spiritual ideal, without yielding oneself to despondency on the path. Thus constantly practising the Yoga of the Atman, the Yogin contacts the Bliss of Brahman and exists as Brahman, all his senses having been trained out and absorbed. But such control of mind is hard and may be compared to the difficulty of bailing the ocean with a blade of grass, uprooting the Meru mountain, or drinking fire.
In the Maitrayani Upanishad, Sage Sakayanaya instructs that when all the modifications of the mind subside, it reverts to its Source even as fire is extinguished when it is devoid of feeding material. Such a mind which seeks only Truth, which has gone back to its Source and which has turned away from all the objects of sense, sees this world of action as essenceless. The mind alone is Samsara (bondage) and, hence, it is to be enquired into. Whatever one deeply thinks, that one becomes. This is the eternal secret. By gaining tranquillity of mind, the effects of Karmas are overcome and there is the experience of the Atman by the Atman, of Bliss imperishable. If one's yearning for objects due to confusion of mind were to be directed to Brahman, one would attain liberation at once, opines the Sage. The mind is twofold in nature – pure and impure. The impure one is enmeshed in desires while the pure one is that which is free from desires. The impure mind is the cause of one's bondage, and the objectless mind is the way to Moksha. The Bliss of Samadhi which comes out of a total rise of the mind from Rajas and Tamas, by the establishment of itself in the Atman, is ineffable in nature.
A person of faith recollects the Bliss of Brahman experienced by him during the intervals of thoughts and feelings. There arises also the determination that all the variety of the world is spiritual, too. Once there is an insight of this nature, there can never again be any confusion in the mind in regard to the true nature of things. Nevertheless, this happiness which arises during the cessation of Rajas in the mind, is a manifestation of Brahman's Bliss through the Sattva mode of the mind, and so it cannot be a perpetual condition of experience. All modes of Prakriti are transient. They change there position constantly like a wheel that is rotating. Knowing this, the seeker ignores even this happiness and tries to enter into the primary Bliss of the Atman, uncontaminated by the changes of Prakriti. A person who is well established in this state lives in the world unconcerned, yet performs his duties like anyone else, in the same manner as one who is serving under a master may do appointed duties as a routine and still be thinking in his mind what is really and inwardly cherished by him. Living in this world, and yet being conscious of the Divine Being, the hero attains internal peace, because of the fact that he is unconnected with what is happening either outside or inside. True heroism is the capability to subdue the senses and concentrate the mind on Brahman alone, even when the senses are impetuous and violent. As a person who throws down a load from his head feels that he has got rid of fatigue, one throws down the load of Samsara by conscious dissociation from it, and attains inner tranquillity. Happiness and misery do not affect him in the least, and it becomes immaterial to him whether there is a positive occasion for exhilaration or a negative one of grief, or whether he is indifferent. He is averse to anything that is an opposing factor to spiritual meditation, as a person is averse to adorning the body and looking beautiful in other's eyes when there is an imminent chance of being swallowed up in the conflagration of a fire. The consciousness of the seer moves between the happiness of the world and the Bliss of the Absolute as and when occasion demands it, just as the power of perception in a crow moves between the two sockets of its eyes. Like a person who knows two languages, the seer experiences world-consciousness and also the spiritual consciousness of Brahman successively. He is not, as before, grieved or upset, due to his present novel perception, and is not annoyed or irritated by the pains of the world. He has a double experience simultaneously of world-life and Godliness, as a person standing waist-deep in the cool waters of the Ganga may experience coolness below and heat above from the Sun. In this manner, the seer recognises the Bliss of Brahman even in the waking state of Consciousness, not merely in the state of deep sleep. When he is established in such a state, he manages to retain this vision even in the dream state, but inasmuch as, together with the power of his spiritual experience, his past Karmas also work parallelly, he may have a twofold experience of spiritual Bliss and worldly pain. There is all this struggle between the inner and the outer, between the present and the past, between the power of Sadhana and the forces of Karma, until Jivanmukti is attained, where the two are reconciled.

EVERITT, TEXAS. Everitt was in a dense thicket nine miles southwest of Coldspring in southwestern San Jacinto County. It was named for W. N. Everitt, who moved to the area in the late 1880s. He also served as the first postmaster for the Everitt post office, established in 1890. Everitt had a peak population of 300 during the early twentieth century. As the Great Depression devastated San Jacinto County agriculture and lumbering, however, the population of Everitt fell rapidly. The post office was discontinued in 1929, and by the late 1940s Everitt no longer appeared on lists of Texas towns.

In this unique collection, discover diverse tales, laden with shades of mystery. Come into a dark, strange world, a hyper-reality where nearly everything is firmly rooted in the familiar-except for some quirky detail that twists the yarn, and takes it for a spin in an unexpected direction. So prepare yourself: keep the lights on.
Inspired by the author's art and by literature, these tales come from different times and places, with characters that search for their identity and challenge their hellish fate. Yet all of them share one thing in common: an unusual mind, one that is twisted.
If you like to read a horror anthology in the strain of Edgar Allan Poe, or if you like to witness the battle between the devil and God, you will enjoy outwitting the devil in this book. Surprisingly, as befitting dark fantasy female protagonists, it is a woman--or rather, her ghost-who finds a way to outwit him.

"Four women, four fates, one mystical tapestry"
Among the audiobooks I've heard so far, Twisted ranks in my top twenty percent, primarily because of the melding of narrator and story, but also because I love Poznansky's forays into the mythos of the Old Testament.
I can compare Twisted only to Uvi Povnasky's other works about Biblical characters and times. The author is creating her own canon, bit by careful bit. I'd call this book magical realism, but it isn't quite that because the characters are not of this time: it's a passionate recasting of Biblical legend for womens' perspectives, with a helping of honesty thrown in for good measure. These four stories feature female protagonists so real you want to touch them, so bold that their unapologetic and unforgettable nature will haunt you long after the narrator finishes telling you each tale.
Heather Jane Hogan brings a finely wrought integrity to her readings, disappearing into each character in turn. Having these stories read to you allows the narrator to characterize each story differently; and different these feminine perspectives are, one form the other. Hogan breathes voice into each tale without ever overplaying her hand.
If I could, I'd have listened to each of the four stories straight through.
The narrated story "I Am What I Am" alone is worth the price of this quartet of tales. As the character searches for her identity in a word of symbol, myth, and metaphor, so do you. Job's wife has something to say to all women of every age, and does, and narrator Hogan makes sure you hear the message. Accompanied and enhanced by three other tales, I, Woman...The Hollow...and The One Who Never Leaves, this quartet transports you into a way of apprehending life that is different from your own, so that you see all through a rarefied artistic sensibility. Bravo, author and narrator!
"A Unique Collection of Alluring, Poetic Stories"
This is not a book for James Patterson fans. It's for those who love poetry, love to think, love the power of words. To those types of readers, I would most definitely recommend TWISTED.
I loved the imagery of Ms. Poznansky's writing. She is a dreamer and an artist, and the wild flights that her mind takes are fascinating.
My favorite scene/story within this collection of four stories was the one told from a clay figure's point of view., FROM DUST. I loved how well Ms. Poznansky gets into the minds of even an "inanimate" object, bringing the statue to life with power and possibilities. Amazing.
Four women - their loves, lives, and anguish.
Heather Jane Hogan (the narrator) is truly outstanding. I found the first story, however, to be spoken to ponderously, too slowly. I had to speed up my playback to 1.25, which felt about "right." I never had to do that before. All of the other stories felt perfectly timed. I think perhaps it was done purposefully because of the storyline, so it's understandable. Another note: it was quite shocking to realize we were hearing the innermost thoughts of a dead woman! ;o)
You will be familiar with the stories.. by listening to them in this way brings them really to life..
Job's wife the nameless one has been she is most challenging and controversial figure in the Bible..
Again Job's wife.. was shocked at first with the 4 letter word.. but It added more depth to her character..
The Devil.. the voice was sweet and I felt this was how the devil will lure you in..
It was .Dark... intense.. entertaining.. thought-provoking and very emotional
I loved it..
"Enjoy the darker twist, but without the gore."
Yes. It was thought provoking and at times achingly beautiful.
Perhaps to some of HP Lovecraft's light works, or Washington Irving's folk tales. Poznansky's works feature some little twist that turns the tale just slightly sideways, giving the reader a new way of looking at it. Lovecraft and Irving also do the same in many of their works.
This was my first time enjoying Heather Hogan's narration.
Uvi Poznansky takes the reader through the odd, the dark, the twisted with intelligence and artful form.
I am hard put to say which was my favorite. I Am What I Am drew me in right away with the mystery of who this dead woman was. Not being familiar with Christian tales, I nevertheless enjoyed the rock and hard place Job's wife found herself between. She did a lot of sighing, but if I were her, I would probably do so too….or cuss. I, Woman was sensual and full of creativity, just as I imagine sculpting with clay would be. Even though this was short, the main character grew over the space of the tale, at first thinking little of her clay companion, then coming to appreciate any communication with him, and finally, afraid of what lay before her, missing his constant presence. Perhaps this was my favorite.
The Hollow went by a little too quickly for me, leaving a rather ghostly impression on me. Perhaps it was meant to do so as the woman was in free fall. The book ended with an unlooked for surprise in the last story, The One Who Never Leaves. It is all told from a cat's perspective, tamed, trapped in domesticity. Being the servant to several cats, I completely connected with this story, recognizing that predatory glint in my cat's eyes, as captured by the disgruntled feline of this story.
In short, this is an excellent collection of short tales. Each was unique, standing on it's own merits. I also loved that each was told through female eyes, allowing one more layer of connection.
The Narration: Heather Jane Hogan provided clear, distinct voices, and even went extra lengths to give Satan in the first tale an unearthly tone. My only minor criticism was that the pacing was slow; however this may have been by request of the author.
As I love to read, it is difficult to compare, but I have enjoyed every second of hearing it. Twisted is perfect for narration.
I love the wife of Job in I Am What I Am.
Her narration was perfect.
Definitely, I laughed.
As I mentioned earlier, Twisted is well suited as an audio book with its four artistically described tales. The recording quality was outstanding.
"Loved it!"
Uvi Poznansky's talent as an author cannot be understated, and I can't imagine a better lyrical accompaniment for her tales than Heather Jane Hogan. I've listened to this book a half-dozen times, and it always feels as though I'm listening to a discussion on the dark depths of the human condition in front of a roaring fire on a cold winter's day, warm cup of tea in hand.
"Another treat book by Uvi."
I really enjoyed the story of Jobe's wife.
However; I found the slow reading Heather to be very off putting. At one point I thought of increasing the speed.
Saying yhat, that's just my opinion. Have a listen/read it is truly a great book.

I'm sharing another Indonesian snack today. Yes, we do have lots of snacks in Indonesia.
This is fried bread with spicy fish filling. Yummeeeeeeh.. dip in chili sauce.. Oh my… *drooling*.
FYI, the photos in this post are edited by me. Yup. My very first photos that I edited my self. After a short and quick lesson from husband last night, this morning I finally did it my self. So tell me what you think of these photos 🙂
I don't have anything to say today really. Except that I have new furniture projects now. I've been working with my dinning set last week. That's why i didn't have time to post anything.
Anyway, this is the recipe. Original is here.
for the bread
- 500g bread flour
- 300ml coconut milk
- 25g caster sugar
- 2 tsp dry yeast
- 1 egg
- a pinch of salt
for the filling
- 3 cans of tuna (450g)
- 1 lemon grass, bruised
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 3 kaffir lime leaves
- 1 tsp tamarind juice (lemon juice for substitute)
- 1 red onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 big red chili
- 3 bird eye chili
- salt
- oil
How to:
- Place red onion, chillies, and garlic in a blender and blitz until it forms a nice smooth paste.
- In a non stick pan, add 3 tbsp of oil and saute the onion paste until fragrance. Add lemon grass, lime leaves and tamarind paste. Saute for 1 minute.
- Add in the tuna and stir well.
- Keep stirring tuna constantly until it starting to dry a bit. And then stir one in a while until it's completely dry (this is so the filling can last longer).
- Once ready you can set it aside and make the bread dough.
- For the bread: Place all the ingredients for the bread in food processor or standing mixer. And knead until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough and weigh 25g each.
- Flatten the dough and fill with 1 tsp of the filling. Seal the edge properly (you can use fork).
- Fry in hot oil (170°C) until golden brown. You can also bake it in the same temperature for about 8 to 10 minutes.

At least three floors of a San Fernando Valley hospital were evacuated on Sunday when police received a report of a duffel bag left by a man who told hospital employees it contained a bomb, police said.
Bomb squad investigators responded and the bag turned out to be harmless.
The incident began in the emergency room at 6:30 p.m. at Mission Community Hospital at 14850 Roscoe Blvd. in Panorama City, said Capt. Jeffery Burt of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police evacuated the first-floor emergency room and parts of the second and third floors of the hospital. Hospital staff transferred the patients to other rooms of the hospital away from the possible threat. Police used a water cannon on the bag.
A perimeter was set up for blocks around the hospital as a precaution, police said.
The man believed responsible has had runs ins with officers before. He was being investigated for making threats to hospital employees, apparently telling them that he had a bomb in his bag, police said.
Mission Community has 145 beds, nine of which are in the ER.

Located on a picturesque 10-acre property in historic Concord, MA, Saltbox Farm is a working farm and home to The Little House, a unique farm-based cooking school. Built in the 1940s, Saltbox Farm was owned by Chef Ben Elliott's grandparents until 2004, when he and his wife Julia moved to the farm to continue the family tradition, raise their own young family and to restore the farm. Today, we grow a wide variety of vegetables, raise sheep, keep chickens for eggs, bees for honey, and have recently planted a small orchard that includes apples, peaches, pears and cherries. Learn more about the range of what is grown on the farm.
Through The Little House, Saltbox Farm's cooking school led by Chef Aaron Furmanek, we offer a unique opportunity for home cooks and food enthusiasts to get hands-on instruction to learn new techniques and recipes that they can use at home. During the growing season, our menus feature ingredients from the garden. Recent classes have included Whole Pig Butchery, World Cuisines: Andalusia, Spain, Seafood Cookery, Pasta Making and Ramen. Class offerings change monthly and offer a variety of topics to appeal to even the most experienced home cook.
Visit our Saltbox Farm website for more information.
Opened in July 2016, Saltbox Kitchen Brewery, led by head brewer Ralph Fiegel, is Concord's only brewery and features a rotating seasonal selection of beers featuring hops and flavorings including fruit and aromatics all grown at Saltbox Farm.

The Team
Ben Elliott, Chef/Farmer
As Chef, Farmer and Owner of Saltbox Farm, Ben oversees all elements of the farm-to-table journey – playing an active daily role in planting, harvesting, preparing and serving their cuisine.
Prior to Saltbox Farm, Ben's 20 year career includes time spent at La Folie and the Fifth Floor under Chef Laurant Gras in San Francisco and the famed Locke-Ober in Boston. His most recent restaurant post was with chef Barbara Lynch in Boston as Chef de Cuisine at No.9 Park, opening Lynch's demonstration kitchen Stir, and launching Lynch's catering company 9 at Home as Chef de Cuisine. In addition to fine dining, Ben also worked with some of the area's most well-known gourmet shops, Hi-Rise Bakery and Formaggio Kitchen, which influences the quality of the prepared foods at Saltbox Kitchen.
A native of Wayland, MA, Ben has called Saltbox Farm and Concord, MA home since 2004. Before moving to the farm, Ben spent summers tending to it alongside his grandparents, the original owners. Ben attended Hartwick College in New York, where he met his wife Julia. He and Julia have 2 children, Sam and Maggie.
Aran Goldstein, Head Chef
As Head Chef, Aran puts his international culinary training to work overseeing food operations for Saltbox Kitchen, creating and teaching cooking classes and helping to develop menus for Saltbox Farm catering. Aran joined Saltbox Farm in 2013 and has helped develop bothThe Little House cooking school and Saltbox Farm's rapidly expanding catering business.
In his first kitchen role, Aran helped open Clink under Chef Joseph Margate at the Liberty Hotel in Boston, where he quickly rose to the position of Sous Chef. An avid international traveler, Aran then pursued stages in three Michelin Star restaurants in Italy: Agrodolce in Imperia Oneglia, Liguria, as well as Piccolo Principe and Ristorante Romano, both in Viareggio, Tuscany. Impressed by Aran's skill and creativity in Italy, he was invited to southern China as a culinary consultant for the opening of an Italian restaurant in the resort town of Sanya. Returning back to the United States, Aran discovered his love of teaching cooking at Sur La Table's flagship Manhattan location, where he quickly built a private client base both as a chef and instructor.
Originally from Worcester, MA, Aran is a graduate of New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, VT. He also holds a Bachelor degree in Sociology, with a minor in Spanish from Northeastern University. Off the farm and out of the kitchen, Aran plays tennis with his wife Karolina and dreams of their next travel adventure together.
Ralph Fiegel, Operations Manager & Head Brewer
As Operations Manager and Head Brewer for Saltbox Kitchen, Ralph helps ensure smooth processes for the restaurant and catering operations. A member of the Saltbox team since 2012, Ralph has been instrumental in building up the farm infrastructure, while growing the catering business and assisting with the cooking school at Saltbox Farm, including teaching beer-making classes and beginning Saltbox's brewing operations. Most recently, Ralph has led the establishment of Saltbox Kitchen's craft brewery, utilizing ingredients grown at Saltbox Farm.
Ralph's culinary career began under world-class chefs Odette Fada in New York City and Dan Smith in the Berkshires, leading him to Chef Barbara Lynch, where he spent nine years working his way up from line cook to back-of-house controller for all Barbara Lynch restaurants. It was through Lynch's No. 9 Park that he met Ben Elliott.
Born and raised in Pittsfield, MA, Ralph is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and an avid fisherman in his free time. He and his wife Nikki live in Grafton, MA.
Emily LeSuer, Catering Chef
An invaluable member of the Saltbox Catering team, Emily joined Saltbox Farm in 2013 after receiving her degree with high honors from Le Cordon Bleu in Cambridge, MA.
At Saltbox Farm, Emily's love for the idea of growing your own food and caring for animals has been reaffirmed. When not preparing food for events, you might find her with her "girls" in the chicken coop or harvesting crops in the field. She is also excited to be able to translate her background in business operations and leadership to the kitchen.
Emily grew up just down the road from Concord in Hudson, MA in a large family where sitting down to dinner was not just about food, but also about sharing and being present in the moment. One could say that her inspiration to become a chef came from her father (a chef himself) or even the food on her plate, but the driving force that ignited such passion was how food can bring people together. Laughter, conversation, and the memories created at the table with family and friends have been, and continue to be, one of the most important aspects of her life.
Emily currently lives in Brighton with her husband Jim and their dog Kaiah.
history of 84 commonwealth avenue
What is now 84 Commonwealth Avenue was known as the Association Hall building, originally built in 1893 and burned in September, 1903.
When the building was rebuilt, the first floor housed the Rexall Store run by C. Hayden Whitney. On the second floor were offices, and the Association Hall, which according to residents, was "a mainstay on the social life for the West Concord community". Movies, dances and minstrel shows were held in the Hall. On the third floor was the Odd Fellows Hall, which was used for all the local fraternal organizations. An original cell door used when men at the Odd Fellows Hall had imbibed too much still remains in the modern 84 Commonwealth Building. The building served as the center of West Concord's social and community activity.
We hope that with the opening of Saltbox Kitchen, the building will yet again become a center of activity in West Concord.

6 - With the Torchlight II Runic digital version the DRM will be the same as we had on Torchlight 1 - that is, a key with a generous number of activations by default (we had ten activations for Torchlight 1, the number for Torchlight II is not finalized yet).
7 - The plan is to have the Torchlight II Runic version be an "unlockable" demo like Torchlight 1. This means you can download, install and play without ever purchasing a key, the game just has some restrictions. We have not stated what these are yet, but for example you cannot play Internet Multiplayer (you need a Runic Account linked to a key for that) and there will be a content lock in place to prevent you from playing the entire game (like with the Steam Torchlight 1 demo ending on floor 5). If you like it, you can click "buy now" from the launcher and get a key, put it in and never get bothered again. No re-downloading. No re-installing. Just unlock and get back to the loot.
8 - With that DRM you will only need to activate ONCE on a computer, it will never dial home again (normal caveats about re-activating after reformatting your computer apply). There are no rootkits. There are no custom driver bullshit. There is nothing that accesses or interferes with ANYTHING ELSE on your computer. PERIOD.

AET (Assistant English Teacher)
Date 2013-01-25 02:01:36 Location : Asia:Japan
An AET's job involves providing real-world context for English classes in Japanese elementary schools and/or junior high schools. The students need a native speaker of the English language to show them how to pronounce words, have conversations and get them to enjoy using English. You also end up participating in lots of afterschool and extra-curricular events, and are often treated like a guest of honor whenever you do. It's a lot of fun and generally feels more like volunteer work, though the salary is generous for the amount of work involved, and it's definitely a great way to experience working in Japan, or even start a career here.
Our company offers assistance with housing, as well as work visa sponsorship depending on eligibility. If you are interested in working with us, please reply to this post with your resume and a recent picture. We look forward to hearing from you!

Bleedin' Nora! 'Cockneys vs Zombies' Is a Horror
A parody of the caper and zombie genres—Cockneys vs Zombies presents working-class Cockney spunk and resourcefulness as the heart of London spirit.
Cockneys vs ZombiesDirector: Matthias Hoene
Cast: Rasmus Hardiker, Harry Treadaway, Michelle Ryan, Georgia King, Alan Ford, Honor Blackman
Distributor: Scream Factory
Rated: Not Rated
Year: 2012
Release date: 2013-09-03
London's long, colorful history has many gruesome episodes. Take 1665–66, the year that saw the last wave of bubonic plague decimate the city—before the Great Fire destroyed most of it. What better pedigree for a modern zombie scourge?
When a construction crew breaks into a crypt sealed by King Charles II in 1666, they discover that not all the withered corpses within are dead. Once unleashed, the zombie contagion quickly overtakes the city, imperiling, in particular, a retirement community in the East End.
Coincidentally, the grandkids of one of the residents have already planned a bank heist to restore the care home to financial solvency, and thus avoid its imminent destruction as part of the wave of gentrification convulsing the region. Their financial scheme becomes a rescue expedition after the outbreak.
A double parody—of the caper and zombie films—Cockneys vs Zombies plays both genres for laughs, while presenting working-class Cockney spunk and resourcefulness as the heart of London spirit.
Since the film invites it, let's adopt the vocabulary of epidemiology and explore several vectors offered by Cockneys vs Zombies. One is linguistic. On full display here is not just the Cockney accent, but also the hallmark of Cockney speech as it emerged in the mid-19th century: rhyming slang. A pair of related words is chosen to represent an omitted word that rhymes with one of the paired words (e.g., apples and pears for stairs; mutt and jeff for deaf). Then the non-rhyming word (or sometimes the word pair) is used to signify the referent: e.g., 'he's completely mutt and jeff'.
It's inventive and satisfying in its own right, but also the perfect feature of a dialect whose speakers wish to remain incomprehensible to outsiders. Cockneys vs Zombies works as a primer on how rhyming slang works, and also captures the downside of what linguists call a cryptolect: sometimes even the initiated don't have a clue what others are saying. Such is the case in the care home, where the grandfather, Ray (Alan Ford), and other residents regularly have to ask fellow pensioner Eric (Dudley Sutton) for explanations of the convoluted constructions he utters.
Another vector is class. The zombie plague stands in for the latest threat posed by the dominant culture on working-class denizens of London's East End. Most recently the area has been subject to the construction of venues and other projects for the 2012 Olympic Games, work glimpsed through several shots incorporated throughout the film. A banker kidnapped as part of the heist and a construction contractor measuring the care home in preparation for its demolition represent the cold, mercantile forces threatening a way of life characterized by hard work, resourcefulness, and authenticity.
A third vector is durability. The long sweep of history thumbnailed by the desecration of the mass grave from 1666 presents the Cockney as eternal, a type that predates the fire and the plague—never mind that the archetypal rhyming-slang-spouting Cockney only dates from the 1840s. While the film also acknowledges the constantly changing nature of Cockney identity and speech (rhyming slang often incorporates topical words, or the names of contemporary celebrities), a reactionary subvector marks some changes as threatening, at least those involving racial and linguistic impurities introduced from the UK's former colonies.
Our band of heroes—brothers Terry (Rasmus Hardiker) and Andy (Harry Treadaway) and cousin Katy (Michelle Ryan) initially includes a Cockney of color—Mental Mickey (Ashley Thomas), a volatile, violent Iraq vet, whose bloodthirsty ways on display after he becomes a zombie aren't much different from his behavior as a living man. One of the deleted scenes features Mickey headbutting an old woman who is interrupting him as he's 'trying to pray'. Perhaps the producers thought that this association of religiosity (we don't know if he's holding a Bible or a Koran) with violence made the reactionary thread too explicit.
Another deleted bit extends a scene in which Ray reprimands a group of black and white 'hoodies' outside the home. The long version includes a taunt uttered by one of the black members: 'We run this place now; it's about time you respect that.'
Once rid of Mental, our merry band are free to reunite with grand-dad and his co-inmates in a multigenerational, pure Cockney tribe who have the run of the East End (humanly speaking, anyway).
Cockneys vs. Zombies has some genuine laughs. It manages to make fun of zombie conventions and a doddering pensioner in a walker without being disrespectful, either to genre conventions or the elderly. When the kids run into rival football fans still scuffling with one another, Terry remarks, 'Even when they're zombies they can't stand each other'.
It's also good to see Alan Ford (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) and Honor Blackman (Goldfinger) recruited for juicy roles in a genre generally not kind to seniors.
But like Eric's obscure productions of rhyming slang, Cockneys vs. Zombies strays too far from substance. Just as the linguistic referent must always be implied for slang to be comprehensible, so parodies are most successful when they resonate with the same themes addressed in the best examples of the target genre. Finally, the Cockneys, reduced to an agglomeration of stereotypic features, are as insubstantial as the zombies, from which the film has taken such pains to distinguish them.
Extras include a series of making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, and the 'Zombie School' instructional video screened for the film's 526 zombie extras. It includes such 'zombie style secrets' as 'think stagger not swagger' and a tutorial on the zombie 'smash and grab' attack strategy.

For the second time in two years, Epifanio " Eppie" Garza is running in Texas Senate District 28, but what's different this time is he's going for an open seat instead of challenging the incumbent.
Garza, who will be listed on the Sept. 9 special election ballot as E.M. Garza, said he wants to dispel any notion that he is not a serious candidate.
"Last time I ran I was marginalized as a novice," the Wolfforth resident said in reference to the 2012 Republican primary, in which he challenged then-Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock. Duncan resigned his seat July 3 before becoming chancellor of the Texas Tech University System.
The other candidates on the ballot are:
■ Jodey Arrington, Republican
■ Delwin Jones, Republican
■ Kerry Douglas McKennon, Libertarian
■ Charles Perry, Republican
■ Greg Wortham, Democrat
Although Garza said when he announced his candidacy this election would be different because he would raise money and campaign for the office — something he didn't do two years ago — so far it hasn't happened. Campaign contribution reports all six candidates for the seat have filed with the Texas Ethics Commission show he is the only one not to raise or spend any money.
Fundraising is critical for Texas Legislature candidates, particularly for Senate districts because each represents more than 800,000 residents. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are needed mainly for campaign traveling; radio and TV commercials; newspaper ads; and to send mailers to all registered voters in the district.
Garza said the lack of money should not disqualify a candidate, and that is one reason he is running.
"I am not an establishment Republican and I really believe that the common people are tired of them," he said. "Money doesn't buy elections and it won't buy the Senate District 28 election."
If elected, his legislative priorities would be illegal immigration, education and taxation.
"The federal government has failed on border security and therefore we have to provide the law enforcement agencies with the necessary tools to take on immigration duties," he said.
"My father was born in Mexico, and he does not fly the Mexican flag proudly," he said. "We are proud to be Hispanics, but ultimately we are American. We need to fight amnesty."
On the issue of education he questions critics who argue the U.S. is failing to educate its students.
"How is it we continue to lead the world if we have poor education, and why do other countries flock to America for their higher education?" Garza said in an email. "Finally, how is it that rural schools are able to teach with less funds?"
On the issue of taxation, he said he is tired of high property taxes.
"I don't appreciate that every year our property taxes go up and nobody is to blame," he said. "That problem was created at the state Legislature and it protects politicians who can always say that they have not voted for higher taxes but by default, property taxes rise."
Like other candidates, Garza said he is also disappointed Gov. Rick Perry set the special election for Sept. 9 instead of Nov. 4 — the same day as the general election and the widely expected date.
Nonetheless, he said he is optimistic he can do well because SD 28 voters are looking beyond political resumes.
"I am a conservative (Republican) and there are not many Hispanics in the party," he said. "I am trying to break the ranks of how politics is done here in West Texas."
Moreover, "I am a God-fearing man, a veteran, an adjunct professor, I am a regular person who started working on the fields of Quitaque," he added. "Nothing special other than like tea party people, we don't want politicians to forget who they work for and we want lower government regulations in our lives."

Somehow I seem to be having an application on Facebook posting to my news stream information about me without ever remembering that I signed up for it. Disconcerting, to say the least! How do I check what apps I have authorized and delete ones I don't want from the Facebook universe?
I'd be quite surprised if it was a rogue application that was posting information about you to your own news stream or Wall on Facebook, actually. While there are some goofy apps out there, Facebook itself seems pretty darn secure and I haven't heard of anything like what you are worrying might have happened.
More likely is that you somehow authorized the app when accepting a friend request or RSVP'ing for an event or similar. I find that I occasionally do that myself, even though I try my very, very best to not sign up for any Facebook apps that aren't directly related to how I use the site (e..g, no games, no quizzes).
Step one, log in to Facebook, then look along the top right for the "Settings" option. Move your cursor over it and you'll see this:
Choose "Application Settings" and you'll move to a page that shows your dozen or so most recently used applications in the Facebook universe.
Perhaps you'll see something on that list that is incongruous or out of place: that might be your culprit.
More likely, though, the app you want won't be shown there, so go to the Show menu on the right:
Choose "Authorized", which is the closest I can see to a missing "All" choice that'd be perhaps a bit clearer. Anyway, now you'll see every Facebook app that you've authorized to get involved with your news stream or Wall.
For this demo, I'll show ReverbNation . When I scroll down, I see this:
Notice here that there are three choices next to the app name: Edit Settings, Profile and X. Edit Settings might be useful if you want to keep the app around but change what it can do, and Profile lets you go to the app's home page in Facebook. The "X" is what you seek if you want to delete the application from your Facebook profile, though.
Click on it and you'll see:
You sure you want to do this? Then click on "Remove":
Done. One less application involved with your Facebook news stream.
Hope that helps with your problem.
I'd also like to let you know that I have quite a bit of Facebook help here on the site and that I also have an Ask Dave Taylor Facebook Fan Page that I invite you to join.

Coveted Crib: Neal Creek Retreat
Usually, when I share photos of a gorgeous modern home with you, there's little hope of actually staying at that place in real life. Not so with the Neal Creek residence. Located near Hood River, OR, this two-bedroom home is actually available for rent.
Architects Paul McKean and Amy Donohue designed this house to make a minimal impact on the environment. The house's main living space is raised one story above ground, which helps to protect it from flood and brush fire damage while providing patio and storage space below. A green roof helps the home to blend into the landscape.
To find out more about this house, and to take a full tour,
The house makes use of renewable, local materials, including cedar siding and cabinetry and an FSC-certified wood floor, finished with vegetable wax. The carpet tiles are composed of natural wool and rubber, and all interior finishes are no-VOC. With Energy Star-certified appliances and highly energy-efficient windows, the home is comfortable and cozy no matter what the season. The Neal Creek Retreat was awarded the 2007 honor award from the American Institute of Architects, Portland.

I need a script for my website, and many of the pages within. The website has Flash animations on it, and I am looking for a script that lets the person viewing the movie post a comment. They click the button, and the same page reloads, showing their script. Only problem is, I don't know how, so therefore, I have no script
Can someone please enlighten me? I will be grateful.Geodesic_D

Well firstly this would be best done in a server-side language, especially if you want to keep the comment for other viewers to see. If I'm not mistaken (and I may be, someone else may want to confirm this) JS can't use a flat-file system as JS can't write to text files or any file for that matter; therefore JS can't 'save' the data.
It's simple enough to use JS to take the user's comment entered in a form and then pass it to the same page as variables, then use the document.write to output it to the screen, however as I said above it won't save the value.
A server-side language would be able to take the data from the form, process it, save it in either a database or text file, and then refresh the page and display the saved data.Rich

Tiger's Staying, Are You?
Golf loves rules. Loves them! Sure, there's the appeal of the good walk spoiled, the verdant scenery, the exquisite way canned beer tastes when delivered via cart. But it's a sport of rules, of Don'ts and Don'ts, and more Don'ts—written and unwritten, on the course and off. Don't ground your club in a hazard. Don't sign an incorrect scorecard. Don't wear a Van Halen T-shirt to the country club, and for the love of Sam Snead, don't quote "Caddyshack" in somebody's downswing. Golf is a game of integrity, of self-policing, of overblown seriousness about etiquette and honor. And khakis. There are soooo many khakis.
Golf is also a business. And the business of golf did a very businesslike thing on Saturday morning when it permitted Tiger Woods to continue in the 2013 Masters despite what appeared to be a disqualifiable rules violation. Woods got the benefit of the doubt—in letting him play on with a two-stroke penalty, tournament officials determined Woods had not knowingly violated a rule Friday when he took a penalty drop further away than is allowed.
Tiger could stay. The world's most important golfer was allowed to remain in the world's most self-important golf tournament.
Predictably, there was a lot of sturm und drang about this. A rules dispute—in any sport—is controversy heaven. A rules dispute involving Tiger Woods? Christmas in April.
On the Golf Channel, analyst Brandel Chamblee said the decision would be "the most controversial thing that follows [Woods] around for the rest of his career," a comment that could only have been made if one spent the tawdry tabloid year after Thanksgiving 2009 living on a deserted atoll. Three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo described the decision as "dreadful" and called upon Woods to "do the manly thing"—oof, Sir Nick—and disqualify himself. Other golf heavies stepped forward and demanded Woods fall on his 7-iron.
LOL. If one thing could be gleaned from the ruthless, tunnel-visioned, Nike-hubris career of Eldrick Tiger Woods, surrender was not an option. Woods, the favorite heading into Augusta, decided to stick around through the weekend, now 1-under-par, and five shots off the lead as play began. He released a statement via Twitter saying he did not know he broke the rule, and that he "respected" the tournament's decision to penalize him two strokes.
In other words: Sorry, suckers. What Tiger were you expecting?
This dispute offers something for everyone: the rules sticklers, who are outraged Woods isn't DQed; the moralists, who believe Woods should quit for the good of the game; the forgiving, who believe Woods took no intentional advantage; and the realists, who see little point to removing the most famous player from the game. It even had a weirdly folksy angle: Augusta's rules committee said it reviewed Woods's mistake after being notified by a TV viewer, who hopefully was eating microwave chili and spotted the error while flipping over to "Judge Judy."
If you aren't wearing a green blazer, the histrionics are mostly amusing, as are the sirens howling from an event that prides itself on intense institutional control. The Masters traditionally takes rules to extremes: at Augusta you may be escorted to the gate if caught with a cellphone (that's with a phone, not talking on one). Tournament officials were ridiculed Friday for assessing a one-stroke slow play penalty upon a 14-year-old phenom from China, Guan Tianlang, on a day in which multiple groups slogged through the course for five hour rounds. There's something awfully rich about anyone at Augusta National—a club that admitted its first female members in 2012—being penalized for not moving fast enough.
Now it's up to Woods to write the last chapter, and it could be a hilariously uncomfortable one. He's standing in a bigger deficit than he was on Friday night, looking up at a field that includes the age-defying 53-year-old Fred Couples. Woods has a lot of ground to make up, but what a wild scene it will be if he maneuvers his way into contention on Sunday. Will it be a just victory? Will it deserve an asterisk? A marquee tournament has gotten a little messy, a little modern, a little gray. This is not necessarily good for golf, but it's entertaining. Insulated by design, the Masters now feels more like the rest of life.

Yesterday we heard that AMC was so happy with their new TV show "The Walking Dead" (despite the fact that it hasn't even aired yet) that they've already greenlit it for a longer second season, and that production on said second season was scheduled for February 2011.
Apparently that's news to the show's producer and the pilot's writer/director Frank Darabont, who tells AICN that there is no such official order from AMC, and that if he had to get right back to work on the show by February he'd "rather shoot myself".
Now, now, Frank, don't go doing something nuts now.
The first season of "The Walking Dead" premieres Halloween of this year. It has a 6-episode order, probably just enough to establish the world and "walkers" and get fanboys salivating for a second season.

2nd steep with no additives with boiling water for 4 minutes.
This is steep has a floral aroma with a slight hint of strawberry and a very fine black tea base. I really enjoy this tea both with additives and without. I feel more sophisticated drinking it without the cream and sugar, as it really brings out more notes in the tea.
I hope I can find marco polo vert in the near future. Will have to search the interwebs.
