I discovered Kundalini yoga six years ago when i started taking classes at Golden Bridge Yoga in Los Angeles. I had just ended a four year relationship and was looking to heal not only this separation but also so many other wounds from the past. Within just a few classes I began to feel the best I had felt since childhood. I wanted to dive deeper but had no idea how deep I was actually going to go. I signed up for teachers training and spent the next 9 months shedding layer after layer of garbage that no longer served me. I was transforming right before my very own eyes. I was getting up at 4 am to meditate, I began wrapping my head, I moved outside into my tipi and... I even stopped drinking. My familys house has always been the one where everyone goes to Party. (Its in my genes. I had to break the pattern!) My friends thought I was going crazy. This was all in the height of the famous Laurel Canyon Jams that my Brother Jonathan Wilson and his beautiful partner Lady D (one of my dearest) had been hosting every Wednesday night. I would show up high as a kite just have been given a gong blast by my teacher Harijiwan. I was experiencing a natural high for the first time in my life. This was the beginning of something that changed my life forever. It was during this time that i discovered the power of manifestation as anything and everything i could ever dream of was entering into my reality left and right. Including my Beautiful Beloved Agustin aka White Flight.
Many readers have asked how I came to live the way I/WE do. Its simple, I begin to truly love myself and care for my body as it should be. This temple of light had been suffering for too long and the more I tuned into my body and started listening to its needs, the more I was rewarded. I remembered the warmth of the heart and started to live from this space again. I became so in awe of what was happening around me I would just break down and cry at the pure beauty of what I was experiencing. I stepped foot onto the BEAUTY PATH and once your there, its hard to go back.
I have been wanting to share more about my transformation and also want to be able to help in anyway I can with advice on living in Community, getting out of the grind, off of the grid or anything else that sparks the curiosity. I will continue over the next few months sharing about my journey but I thought this would be a good start as it was really the YOGA that brought me back to my authentic self. It takes dedication and discipline and it can be more challenging than you can ever imagine but everyday I give thanks and everyday I show up to be the best Mama, Lover and Human that I can be.
Thank you, I love you, I'm Sorry, Forgive me. ~Hawaiian Hoʻoponopono prayer~ To be continued...

The presidential debates: They're the next big thing in the race for the White House.
So which candidate will have the upper hand in next month's showdowns?
Most voters think President Barack Obama will have an advantage in the three debates, according to a new national survey. And a CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday also indicates Obama's approval rating at 51%, a gray area for an incumbent president running for re-election.
Fifty-nine percent of likely voters questioned in the survey say that Obama is more likely to do a better job than Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the debates, with 34% saying that Romney will beat Obama.
"Then Sen. Obama had the same edge over Sen. John McCain when voters were asked four years ago who would win the 2008 debates," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Going back even further in the history books, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore were all seen as more likely to win their debates."
While only five percent of Democrats think that Romney will have the upper hand in the October showdowns, 18% of Republicans say that Obama will have the advantage.
The debates are scheduled to be held on October 3 in Denver, Colorado, October 16, in Hempstead, New York, and October 22 in Boca Raton, Florida. CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley, anchor of "State of the Union," will moderate the October 16 debate. Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP vice presidential nominee, face off on October 11 in Danville, Kentucky.
The CNN poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, entirely after last week's Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to the survey, 51% of adults nationwide approve of the job Obama is doing in the White House, with 44% saying they disapprove. The 51% approval is up three points from last week's CNN poll, which was conducted before the Democratic convention.
By a 55%-39% margin, women approve of the job Obama's doing, with men divided (48%-49%).
So how does Obama's approval rating two months before the election compare to the most recent presidents running for a second term in the White House?
Incumbents with an approval rating under 40%, such as Jimmy Carter in 1980 and the elder George Bush in 1992, lost their re-election bids. Incumbents with an approval rating hovering around the 60% mark, such as Ronald Reagan in 1984 and Bill Clinton in 1996, won re-election. Only one incumbent in recent history, George W. Bush in 2004 at 52%, has been in that territory in the middle. Bush narrowly won re-election.
"Remember that a president's approval rating is not necessarily a good indicator of his ultimate share of the vote. For one thing, the approval rating is based on the views of all Americans, but all Americans do not vote," adds Holland. "Also bear in mind that the group of Americans who disapprove of Obama include some liberals who have a negative view of him because he has not been liberal enough. That group may ultimately conclude that Obama is the lesser of two evils and reluctantly vote for him."
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International, from Sept. 7-9, with 1,022 adults nationwide, including 875 registered voters and 709 likely voters, questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for likely voters.

Lew Wallace Scape Goat of Shiloh? | Rating: |

Lew Wallace Lost at Shiloh... Wallace's group had been left as reserves near Crump's Landing at a place called Stoney Lonesome to the rear of the Union line. At the appearance of the Confederates, Grant sent orders for Wallace to move his unit up to support Sherman. Wallace took a route different from the one Grant intended (claiming later that there was ambiguity to Grant's order). Wallace arrived at the end of his march to find that Sherman had been forced back and was no longer where Wallace thought he was. Moreover, the battle line had moved so far that Wallace now found himself in the rear of the advancing Southern troops. A messenger arrived with word that Grant was wondering where Wallace was and why he had not arrived at Pittsburg Landing, where the Union was making its stand. Wallace was confused. He felt sure he could viably launch an attack from where he was and hit the Confederates in the rear; after the war he claimed that his division might have attacked and defeated the Confederates if his advance had not been interrupted.[26] Nevertheless, he decided to turn his troops around and march back to Stoney Lonesome. Rather than realign his troops so that the rear guard would be in the front, Wallace chose to march the troops in a circle so that the original order was maintained, only facing in the other direction. Wallace marched back to Stoney Lonesome and then to Pittsburg Landing, arriving at Grant's position about 6:30 or 7 p.m., when the fighting was practically over. Grant was not pleased, and his endorsement of Wallace's battle report was negative enough to damage Wallace's military career severely.[27] What you have just read is an excerpt from Wiki about Lew Wallace actions on the first day of Shiloh. For his action Gen. Halleck and Gen. Grant used him as the scape goat for Gen. Grant's being caught with his pants down at Shiloh. Gen. Grant destroyed a junior officer career to protect and advance his career. Did Lew Wallace not follow Grant's order to support Sherman at Shiloh? Did Lew Wallace not take the best route to support Sherman at Shiloh? Did Lew Wallace do the right thing by returning to where Grant wanted him or should he have been bold and disobeyed Grant and launch an attack against the Confederate rear? Was Lew Wallace actions at Shiloh justifying being used as a scape goat for Grant's failures at Shiloh? Why did Halleck go along with using Lew Wallace as a scape goat? Years Later Lew Wallace ask Grant to set the record strait about his actions at Shiloh and Grant refused. Was Grant being petty refusing to correct the record at Shiloh about Lew Wallace actions? Off pondering Grant's character issues...... Last edited on Tue Aug 26th, 2008 06:55 pm by 5fish |

Going off memory here but Wallace got lost on the way and then countermarched his men instead of reversing the column when the mistake was discovered, he doesn't come off clean but Grant was a little harsh on him too. Grant tended to scapegoat people he didn't like. Think McClernand and Warren too. |

Wallace wasn't lost -- he was marching to where Sherman had been. As for the counter-march: he wanted his leading brigade to remain his leading brigade. "About face, march" wasn't often done during the war, nor during that century. ole |

Ah good, a military topic. Ole is right - Wallace was never lost, although that is the long-held tradition. He simply took the wrong road. Had Sherman's division not been forced back, he would have come in along the Hamburg-Purdy Road, a little in back of Sherman's battle line around Shiloh Church. But that's a pretty big 'what-if.' The whole controversy revolves around whether Grant's orders to Wallace specified by which road he was to reach the army. Grant and his staff claimed they did, Wallace claimed they did not. As controversial as the whole episode is, one of the ironies about it to me is that just about everyone involved seemed to agree on virtually everything else about the order. Except for that one point. Grant's initial order was verbal, and he never saw the written version. So he could only go on the word of Rawlins and the staff member who actually delievered the order, who's name escapes me at the moment. But Wallace and the members of his staff who saw the order claim that it never made mention of what road to take. Just that they were to march to the right of the army and await further orders when they got there. Wallace later claimed that he briefly considered attacking the Confederaes in the flank, once he had been informed of the true situation and before he finally ordered the counter-march. That claim has been derided as a clumsy attempt to make him look better, in response to all the criticism he faced in the years after the battle. But I'm not so sure he didn't really consider that idea before finally rejecting it. There was a brief period where he does seem to have pondered on the situation, and apparently kept his own council while doing so. If he briefly wondered about attacking, it would have been at this time. I don't know if he did or did not, but I do think it's a good possibility. Was he made a scapegoat by Grant? For many years that's been the conventional thinking. But recently Stacy Allen has written an essay, I think titled "If He Had Higher Rank," where he casts doubt on that idea, and backs up his case with some pretty good evidence. I believe the essay can be found in one of Tim Smith's books on Shiloh, but I'll have to dig them out to make sure. Perry |

Actually the fellow I was thinking of was Captain A.S. Baxter, Grant's quartermaster. For some reason I seem to have trouble remembering his name, but he's the one who took the original dispatch to Wallace, ordering him to join the rest of the army. You're right that McPherson was also sent for that purpose, together with Rawlins, although it was later in the day. Perry |

Wrap10, The issue come down to which road Wallace used. What about a general's discretion? I have read about Generals doing much worst things then taking the wrong road. A wrong road that would have put him in a better place to support Sherman then the other road. I think of Sickles at Gettysburg moving out of his place in line or I have read about generals who refused to do something during a battle causing great harm due to thier discretion. But a road?? Shiloh was a big black eye for the army and Grant and someone had to be fed to the wolfs. They pick Wallace and he got a desk job for the rest of the war. I wonder why Grant picked Wallace of all the Generals to chose from? |

Bama, You have read books about the Civil war as I have. I can not tell you how many times Generals in Civil War books choose to use their discretion either not do something or to do something and received no reprimand. I have read in a middle of a battle of Generals deciding not to attack because of their "discretion"or start the attack then calling it off per "their discretion. In most cases non thing happens to these generals but Lew Wallace chooses to take a different road that got to where he was going faster and in better place to support Sherman, if Sherman had held the line. So when is Discretion allowed or is it a case to better ask for forgiveness then for permission. Off ponder to use Discretion or not... |

But he never used that as a reason for his choice, so far as I know. He never said that his orders gave him choice of route. According to Wallace, they simply told him to come up and form on the right of the army, which he understood to mean Sherman. Grant on the other hand was very specific that he had ordered Wallace to come in by way of the River Road, thus arriving in rear of the army. His orders were verbal, and went through two other people, one of whom wrote them down, before they reached Wallace. So it's possible that the reference to the River Road got lost in transmission, although we'll never really know. The whole problem apparently stemmed from a prearranged plan worked out between Lew Wallace and W.H.L. Wallace, commanding one of Grant's divisions camped at Pittsburg Landing, and the closest division to Lew Wallace's men. The isolated nature of Lew Wallace's division was a cause of concern for Grant, as he suspected that any attack would be aimed at Wallace and not at the rest of the army. So he had the two Wallace's work out a plan by which Lew Wallace could be supported in case of such an attack. (Actually his orders may have been a bit more general than that, and not directed only at W.H.L. Wallace among the division commanders at the landing. I can't remember about that. But he was apparently the only one to cooperate with Lew Wallace.) The most direct route was the River Road, but all the rain was causing Snake Creek to overflow the bridge along that road fairly often, so an alternate plan was worked out that involved a longer route, along the road known as the Shunpike. The idea was that W.H.L. Wallace would march out from the landing to the Hamburg-Purdy Road, turn north, and eventually reach Lew Wallace by way of this Shunpike route. In the actual event it worked in reverse, with Lew Wallace taking the Shunpike instead of the River Road. He wasn't lost, as we so often hear. He knew where he was going. It's simply that he wasn't going where Grant wanted him. It wasn't until he was well along the way that he learned of his mistake, and that Grant wanted him at the landing. I don't know that Grant ever knew about the alternate route that had been worked out between the two commanders. But when Grant issued his orders, his intent was not to have Lew Wallace support Sherman. His intent was that Wallace would support the entire army. My guess is that he intended to use Wallace's men as a general reserve. I think the real culprit in the whole affair was probably miscommunication. It's possible that Grant's orders, as written, directed Wallace to come in by the River Road, and Wallace, for whatever reason, elected to ignore that part, and take the Shunpike instead. It's possible that this happened, and I've seen it speculated. But we can never really know. But I think it's just as likely, if not more so, that Wallace simply made an honest mistake. I think I'd have to disagree somewhat that Shiloh was a "black eye" for Grant's army. The Union won the battle, and Grant, as well as his men, had fought hard and well. But Grant did of course come in for what may very well have been the most severe criticism he faced during the war. This was due in no small part to the stories getting out of Grant being caught so badly off guard by the attack that many of his troops were bayoneted in their tents while they slept. Not so, but that was the story. Plus, the number of killed and wounded from Shiloh quite simply dwarfed everything that had ever come before, in all of American history. Nothing else was even close. People in the North were stunned by the casualty figures. Keeping in mind here that we're talking the spring of 1862, before the war had evolved into the bloodbath we now think of, the numbers from Shiloh were almost beyond comprehension. Combine those two things - a staggering number of dead and wounded, and reports that Grant allowed his army to be caught totally off-guard - and we can see how, in response, lynchmobs seemingly ruled the day. Someone had to pay for the negligence that led to all that butchery. And that someone was going to be Grant. As for Grant's treatment of Wallace, the only thing he really had to go by was what he was told by his own officers who were involved, and by what Wallace later wrote. Perhaps it's no surprise, given all that happend on the 6th, that Grant was more inclined to believe his own staff officers rather than Wallace. To some extent, Wallace turned out to be his own worst enemy here, as he was apparently not very communicative to Grant's staff officers during the infamous counter-march. They would later report, in effect, that Wallace dragged his feet on this march, and did not appear to be concerned for the safety of the army, or see the need for a rapid march. When we view the march from their perspective, it's easy to see why they felt as they did, and in fact it appears they have a valid case. But I also think that every decision Wallace made on that counter-march, from first to last, was made out of a sincere desire to deliver his men to Grant in the best possible shape, and ready to go into battle. And again, I think Stacy Allen might take issue with the idea that Grant actually tried to make a scapegoat out of Wallace. I haven't been able to track down that essay though, unfortunately. Perry |

I know he made it to Monocacy but happenstance gave him one last shoot at command. He was given a dead end job fr the war.... He did write Ben-HUR and achieve immortality.... |

I finally tracked down that essay by Stacy Allen. You can find it starting on page 63 of Grant's Lieutenants: From Cairo to Vicksburg. The book is a series of essays by various historians, and is edited by Steven Woodworth. Allen's essay on Lew Wallace is titled, "If He Had Less Rank." Perry |

I think you will find it eye opening, Barlow. Thanks for taking it under consideration. I have been getting good response so far. It is a little daunting to take on entrenched conclusions of a century and a half. It took five years to complete. I tried to prove my conclusions wrong, but every new document I discovered pointed in the same direction.Maybe we can meet at Crump's Landing one day and toast Lew Wallace. Kevin |

Sorry I meant Ken Hansgen at Shiloh is the Wallace expert. Think I will skip the trip to Crump...been there. You should attend the Taste of Montgomery County in Crawfordsville Indiana on August 24th held at the Lew Wallace Museum and Study grounds. Sell lots of books. Everyone attending, including me, will be a Lew Wallace fan. |

Petition highlights
- This was the highest compliment to date from the late Carl Beane.....I just discovered this fabulous website. A very dear friend told me about this and after reading through it, I felt I had to write. I have covered the Red Sox as a radio reporter for 27 years and along the way got to know the wonderful voice I heard as a child when my late father would take my two younger brothers and me on the bus from Springfield, Ma to Fenway Park. When I was a child I told everybody that someday I would be a Red Sox announcer. I loved listening to Sherm, then would have a laugh after every ballgame when Sherm would sit in the media room and tell those wonderful stories in that one of a kind voice. He became a great friend and in a way a mentor to me due to his involvement in radio and as the Voice of Fenway Park. In 2003, my dream came true. I now occupy that position as the P. A. announcer at Fenway. Every game, I pay tribute to Sherm. I tap his picture just outside the booth and ask him to get me through another game. I use the same greeting he did because it was and is perfect. I always say to anyone who asks about the job, that "I'll never fill his shoes, but I do get to sit in his chair". Bob Sheppard, the long time voice of Yankee Stadium, was a good friend of Sherm's and over the years has shared stories about him with me. Mr. Sheppard had a great deal of respect for him, as do I. I agree that Sherm should be honored in a special way, and I intend this summer to offer his name for induction into the Red Sox Hall of Fame. He deserves it and it is the right thing to do. I have already spoken to some of the Red Sox executives about this, so it will be brought up at the proper time. I hope it happens. Sherm Feller was and will always be the "Voice of Fenway Park". He was my friend, and ironically, he died 4 years to the day that my dad passed away. I miss them both very much. Respectfully submitted, Carl Beane

Metro Vancouver's waste committee has rejected a request by the Fraser Valley Regional District to allow an "observer" to sit on an independent expert panel overseeing the proposed waste-to-energy project.
Committee chairman Malcolm Brodie, who is also mayor of Richmond, said allowing the FVRD to sit on the committee was a "terrible idea."
"There would have to be a lot of confidential conversations between those experts," he said.
Directors agreed instead to set up a political liaison committee, with two members from Metro and the Fraser Valley working together on the proposal for a waste-to-energy facility in or outside the region.
Brodie maintains Metro's technical staff team has met with the Fraser Valley nine times, but the FVRD politicians haven't accepted invitations to consult on the controversial project. The political liaison committee, he said, will be another way to reach out to those in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, as the project progresses.
The B.C. environment ministry has granted approval to Metro Vancouver to pursue plans for a waste-to-energy facility in or outside Metro Vancouver, but has stipulated it must consult with the FVRD. Fraser Valley politicians, including Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, have complained that an incinerator in Metro would affect their air quality and are opposed to one being built.
But Brodie maintains that while Metro hasn't decided on the technology of the proposed waste to energy plant, or how many will be built, or where, it will happen. "Whether people like it or not that decision has been made," he said.
"This really is an attempt to consult but I don't know if it will bear fruit."
Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin agreed with having a political liaison committee, saying if they didn't do it, the FVRD might use it against them in the final decision. "It doesn't matter what we say to the FVRD in regards to waste to energy . . . they don't want us to have one," she said. "No matter how much consultation we do the Fraser Valley is going to disagree with the outcome. That concerns me . . . how much clout are they going to have with the minister?"
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan voted against forming a political liaison, saying it validates the FVRD's concerns about air quality, which are likely more affected by the streams of car and truck traffic travelling though the valley. He argued it was critical that the experts be free to do their job.
Metro Vancouver is in the midst of wrapping up its request for technology, and expects to meet with 33 potential proponents later this month.

My day was a success. I analysed the reasons:
1. Limited projects list (20 active projects): that allowed me to go through all the projects and move them further to completion. Or at least a major part of them. That gave me a sense of satisfaction and control.
2. I had time slots for all of the contexts: I had preplanned meetings, I had time in-between meetings that I filled with @Mac context actions, I used my commute-work time to read some papers from my @Read context when I was still energised and my commute-home time to make some call from my @Phone list when was brain toast. No contexts were left untouched.
What reasons allow for satisfaction at the day end?

At Veritey we believe that living the good life has more to do with living as low an impact life as you can. It requires choice, commitment, determination and thought. It requires practice. And it requires work. Well most of the time it requires a little bit of work anyway. But we're hoping to take some of that work off of your hands. Over time, our plan is to do all the heavy-lifting for you so that we can be your source (THE source) for making better choices as well as getting ideas on what it truly takes to live a good life.
This holiday there are going to be a lot of ways to spend your holiday dollars. Why not start with putting your money to work by giving gifts that do good.
Here are are a few simple ways to gift the good life:
1. Donate to a charity in their honor. Instead of buying people on your list more unnecessary items, give them something to be proud of. Sponsor a child for a year through Save the Children.
2. Help them reduce their carbon footprint with the gift of an offset. You can zero-out their impact with an offset through the responsibly managed GoZero program by the Conservation Fund.
3. If you're going to buy things (and lets face it we're all going to buy some things…) put your money to stores that will support causes you care about. Causecast wrote a good post about iGive and GoodShop as ways to do this.
4. An elaborate give for someone over 13 on your list might be an unforgettable getaway. A getaway that truly gives is a volunteer vacation through Earthwatch where you become a citizen scientist helping do work with serious scientists studying all aspects of climate change change from around the globe. (From the Cheetahs in Namibia to Turtles in the Galapogos; Dolphins in the Red Sea to Loons in the Gulf of Mexico — there are trips around the world.) This is a truly unforgettable experience.
5. Last, but not least, some of the most personal gifts is to either make something for someone or give them a favorite possession. Only you can be the judge of what is going to be just the right thing for someone on your list. But if you can save from buying something new, that's a great way to keep the impact of your gift low.
This year, lets start to hold ourselves to a higher standard when we give. Part of doing that is to ask yourself before buying — what do I/they truly need? If the answer is nothing reconsider the list above. I know it can sound grinch-y and I don't want to take the fun out of gift-giving. On the contrary, if we give more responsibly then getting and giving can be seriously fun, rewarding, and pride-inducing.
All it takes is a different state of mind. We call this Veritey. We'd love to hear how you're approaching good gift giving this year.
