8 Mesmerizing, Must-Read Spiritual Memoirs.
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Having just written my very own spiritual memoir, I have great appreciation for these 8 rather mesmerizing autobiographies penned by some of the most inspiring spiritual teachers of our time—and some authors who aren't technically of the "spiritual" genre, but whose works fit into the category of feeding the readers' souls.
1. Freedom in Exile by the Dalai Lama
His Holiness has actually written two autobiographies. I haven't yet read the first, My Land and My People. His more recent memoir tells the touching story of his life.
The fact that the Dalai Lama was forced by Chinese communists to flee from his home country, Tibet, and hasn't been able to return since 1959 makes his kind, compassionate presence on the world's stage all the more amazing and inspiring.
2. Night by Elie Wiesel
A common title from high school required reading lists, this uncommonly thin memoir is absolutely gut wrenching–and absolutely required reading for everyone.
The story of Wiesel's time trapped in Auschwitz during The Holocaust is a heartbreaking and horrific. He offers us a look at humanity's ugliest and most resplendent sides. It took me weeks to get through the short book, because it's so intense that I could only read a brief passage at a time.
3. Cave in the Snow: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment by Vickie Mackenzie
Okay, this isn't technically a memoir, but it is the incredible true story of Tenzin Palmo, a British woman turned Tibetan Buddhist nun who spent 12 years alone in a cave 13,000 feet up in the Himalayas.
On her mountain retreat, she faced bitter cold temperatures, wild animals, floods, snow and rockfalls, grew her own food and slept in a traditional wooden meditation box. A remarkable story about a remarkable woman's spiritual path.
4. Committed: A Love Story by Elizabeth Gilbert
The world-famously divorced author of Eat, Pray, Love wrote this book after her mega-bestseller-turned-movie-starring-Julia-Roberts. (I never could bring myself to watch it.)
In Committed, her musings on compatibility and fidelity chronicles Liz's journey into her second marriage. I appreciate her frank, conversational tone and her humble attitude about having become a world-famous "chick-lit" author.
5. Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal by Julie Metz
Julie Metz's memoir opens with the sudden death of her husband. Seven months later she discovers that her late husband had hidden another life from her and had cheated on her throughout their 12 years of marriage. Perfection is the story of Julie's journey as she comes to terms with painful truths in order to transform her life.
6. The Great Failure by Natalie Goldberg
I just can't get enough of Natalie Goldberg. "Of course, we are drawn to teachers that unconsciously mirror our own psychology," she writes.
In this, her second memoir, she explores the link between her Zen master, Katagiri Roshi, and her father who sexually violated her. (Also recommended: Long, Quiet Highway, which is Natalie's first memoir.)
7. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
In this moving memoir, twentysomething Dave loses both of his parents to cancer and suddenly finds himself in charge of raising his eight-year-old brother. Eggers manages to be simultaneously hilarious, inventive and heartfelt in this, his literary debut.
He has gone on to write many high-quality books including my personal favorite, What is the What. I am currently reading his latest novel, The Circle. (Stay tuned for a review coming soon.)
8. The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mohandas Gandhi
Dude, it's Gandhi. Listen to the Mahatma. We should all follow his example of humility, action and inspiration.

Regarding Spiritual Memoirs … what about the Journals of Thomas Merton?
Malta, Europe
Good idea. Thanks for your suggestion, Patrick!
Thanks! This is very helpful!
Irina Tweedie's "Daughter of Fire". Spiritual Diary of English woman's initiation into Sufi lineage and
her 5 years in India with her master. A masterpiece.
I would add "Princess in the Land of Snows," by the deeply inspiring Tibetan Buddhist woman, Lama Jamyang Sakya. I was transported into her childhood world–so recent yet so different from mine–as she recounted her unusual life from the endless Tibetan plains, to a royal marriage, to Chinese occupation and escape across the Himalayas. Hers was among the very first families to emigrate to the US after the Tibetan exodus of 1959, and this memoir stops then. I've heard (yes, it's purely a rumor) that Lama Sakya may be writing about the second chapter of her life here in the US (centered around the now well-established Sakya Monastery in Seattle). I for one hope that rumor is true!
Also what about "The Poisonwood Bible," a historical memoir-like novel with 5 different narrative voices? Each woman of the Price family was certainly transformed by childhood years lived in (formerly Belgian) Congo, under the iron fist of their misguided missionary father during the end of colonialization and return to local political "freedom." It just dawned on me their last name is key: what Price do we each pay for life? An all-time best book on my short list. Thanks.

Steady-state economy
A steady-state economy is an economy of relatively stable size. A zero growth economy features stable population and stable consumption that remain at or below carrying capacity. The term typically refers to a national economy, but it can also be applied to the economic system of a city, a region, or the entire planet. Note that Robert Solow and Trevor Swan applied the term steady state a bit differently in their economic growth model. Their steady state occurs when investment equals depreciation, and the economy reaches equilibrium, which may occur during a period of growth.
Physical features[edit]
The steady-state economy is an entirely physical concept. Any non-physical components of an economy (e.g. knowledge) can grow indefinitely. But the physical components (e.g. supplies of natural resources, human populations, and stocks of human-built capital) are constrained and endogenously given. An economy could reach a steady state after a period of growth or after a period of downsizing or degrowth. The objective is to establish it at a sustainable scale that does not exceed ecological limits.
Economists use gross domestic product or GDP to measure the size of an economy in dollars or some other monetary unit. Real GDP—that is, GDP adjusted for inflation—in a steady-state economy remains reasonably stable, neither growing nor contracting from year to year. Herman Daly, one of the founders of the field of ecological economics and a critic of neoclassical economics,[1] defines a steady-state economy as
...an economy with constant stocks of people and artifacts, maintained at some desired, sufficient levels by low rates of maintenance "throughput", that is, by the lowest feasible flows of matter and energy from the first stage of production to the last stage of consumption."[2]
A steady-state economy, therefore, aims for stable or mildly fluctuating levels in population and consumption of energy and materials. Birth rates equal death rates, and saving/investment equals depreciation.
Limits to economic growth[edit]
Development of steady-state economics (sometimes also called full-world economics) is a response to the observation that economic growth has limits. Macroeconomic policies in most countries, particularly those with large economies as measured on a GDP scale, typically have been officially structured for economic growth for decades.[3] Given the costs associated with such policies (e.g. global climate disruption, widespread habitat loss and species extinctions, consumption of natural resources, pollution, urban congestion, intensifying competition for remaining resources, and increasing disparity between the wealthy and the poor), some economists, scientists, and philosophers have questioned the biophysical limits to growth, and the desirability of continuous growth.
Economic growth in terms of a modern state economy is an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services. It is facilitated by increasing population, increasing per capita consumption, and productivity gains, and it is indicated by rising real GDP. For millennia most economies, in the current sense of the term, remained relatively stable in size, or they exhibited such modest growth that it was difficult to detect. Proponents of steady-state economics note that the general transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural societies resulted in population expansion and technological progress. From this they stress that the industrial revolution and the ability to extract and use dense energy resources resulted in unprecedented exponential growth in human populations and consumption.
Doubts about the long run prospects for continuous growth in the industrial age are commonly described as beginning around the publishing of An Essay on the Principle of Population in 1798 by Thomas Robert Malthus.[4] Although many of Malthus's empirical claims and theoretical assumptions have since been discredited, his broader concerns have remained influential, from eugenics to more mainstream views. The modern debate on the limits to growth was kicked off in 1972 by The Limits to Growth, a book produced by the Club of Rome. The Club of Rome developed computer models and explored scenarios of continuing economic growth and environmental impacts.[5] Their original analysis and several follow-ups specified planetary limits to growth.
Additional studies and analytical tools corroborate much of the Club of Rome's work. For example, the ecological footprint is a measure of how much land and water area a human population requires to produce the resource it consumes and to absorb its wastes, using prevailing technology. The Global Footprint Network calculates the world's ecological footprint to be the equivalent of 1.5 planets (as of 2014),[6] meaning that human economies are consuming 50% more resources than the Earth can regenerate each year. In other words, it takes one year and six months to regenerate what we consume in a year. This sort of ecological accounting suggests that economic growth is depleting resources at a rate that cannot be maintained.
History of the concept[edit]
For centuries, economists have considered a transition from a growing economy to a stable one, from classical economists like Adam Smith down to present-day ecological economists. Adam Smith is famous for the ideas in his book The Wealth of Nations. A central theme of the book is the desirable consequences of each person pursuing self-interest in the marketplace. He theorized and observed that people trading in open markets leads to production of the right quantities of commodities, division of labor, increasing wages, and an upward spiral of economic growth. But Smith recognized a limit to economic growth. He predicted that in the long run, population growth would push wages down, natural resources would become increasingly scarce, and division of labor would approach the limits of its effectiveness. He incorrectly predicted 200 years as the longest period of growth, followed by population stability.[7]
John Stuart Mill, a pioneer of economics and one of the most gifted philosophers and scholars of the 19th century,[8] anticipated the transition from economic growth to a "stationary state". In his magnum opus, Principles of Political Economy, he wrote:
...the increase of wealth is not boundless. The end of growth leads to a stationary state. The stationary state of capital and wealth… would be a very considerable improvement on our present condition.
...a stationary condition of capital and population implies no stationary state of human improvement. There would be as much scope as ever for all kinds of mental culture, and moral and social progress; as much room for improving the art of living, and much more likelihood of it being improved, when minds ceased to be engrossed by the art of getting on."[9]
John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists of the twentieth century,[8] also considered the day when society could focus on ends (happiness and wellbeing, for example) rather than means (economic growth and individual pursuit of profit). He wrote:
...that avarice is a vice, that the exaction of usury is a misdemeanour, and the love of money is detestable… We shall once more value ends above means and prefer the good to the useful.[10]
The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems - the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behavior and religion.[11]
The Widow's Cruse - Is the name Keynes' gave to a parable from the bible for a magical cup of oil, using the biblical term "cruse" for "cup". It was first discussed in his Treatise on Money [12] to help explain why at the limits to growth investing for economic expansion becomes unprofitable for all. His way of correcting that to allow economic stability at the limits of growth we would now call a "sustainable design" for capitalism. It was discussed as for some future time when increasing capital investment would naturally meet diminishing returns for the system as a whole. Continuing increases in investment by the wealthy would then cause over-investment and result in "conditions sufficiently miserable" to bring the net savings rate of the economy to zero. He called the solution to the problem "the widow's cruse", after a bible story of Elijah coming to stay with an old widow[13] and making her cup of oil inexhaustible.
The Cambridge intellectuals trying to understand Keynes' Treatise on Money misunderstood and called it "the fallacy" instead.[14] Though Keynes described it more clearly in The General Theory [15] a misunderstood idea is what it has remained. As a response to the natural over-investment crisis at the climax of capitalism it would have relied on the good will of the wealthy in spending enough of their own earnings to restore profitability to the rest of the economy. The original misinterpretation was that it was intended to restore growth rather than to allow growth to end without conflict. The misunderstanding has been generally repeated by other economists, except Kenneth Boulding who frequently referred to the eventual necessity to limit investment growth in response to environmental impacts and diminishing returns[16] and later by P.F. Henshaw as a general principle of systems ecology.[17] That it would stabilize the economy as conditions became miserable due to over-investment, but at the expense of ending the automatic concentration of wealth, is likely to have been one of the more confusing features to most economists who tried to understand it.
Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen recognized the connection between physical laws and economic activity and wrote about it in 1971 in The Entropy Law and the Economic Process.[18] His premise was that the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy law, determines what is possible in the economy. Georgescu-Roegen explained that useful, low-entropy energy and materials are dissipated in transformations that occur in economic processes, and they return to the environment as high-entropy wastes. The economy, then, functions as conduit for converting natural resources into goods, services, human satisfaction, and waste products. Increasing entropy in the economy places profound limits on the scale it can achieve and maintain.
Around the same time that Georgescu-Roegen published The Entropy Law and the Economic Process, many other economists, most notably E.F. Schumacher and Kenneth Boulding, were writing about the environmental effects of economic growth and suggesting alternative models to the neoclassical growth paradigm. Schumacher proposed Buddhist Economics in an essay of the same name in his book Small Is Beautiful. Schumacher's economic model is grounded in sufficiency of consumption, opportunities for people to participate in useful and fulfilling work, and vibrant community life marked by peace and cooperative endeavors.[19] Boulding used the spaceship as a metaphor for the planet in his prominent essay, The Economics of the Coming Spaceship Earth. He recognized the material and energy constraints of the economy and proposed a shift from the cowboy economy to the spaceman economy. In the cowboy economy, success is gauged by the quantity and speed of production and consumption. In the spaceman economy, by contrast, "what we are primarily concerned with is stock maintenance, and any technological change which results in the maintenance of a given total stock with a lessened throughput (that is, less production and consumption) is clearly a gain."[20]
Herman Daly, a student of Georgescu-Roegen, built upon his mentor's work and combined limits-to-growth arguments, theories of welfare economics, ecological principles, and the philosophy of sustainable development into a model he called steady-state economics. He later joined forces with Robert Costanza, AnnMari Jansson, Joan Martinez-Alier, and others to develop the field of ecological economics.[21] In 1990, these prominent professors established the International Society for Ecological Economics. The three founding positions of the society and the field of ecological economics are: (1) The human economy is embedded in nature, and economic processes are actually biological, physical, and chemical processes and transformations. (2) Ecological economics is meeting place for researchers committed to environmental issues. (3) Ecological economics requires trans-disciplinary work to describe economic processes in relation to physical reality.
Ecological economics has become the field of study most closely linked with the concept of a steady-state economy. Ecological economists have developed a robust body of theory and evidence on the biophysical limits of economic growth and the requirements of a sustainable economy.[22][23]
Policies for the transition[edit]
|This section possibly contains original research. (August 2011)
Achieving a steady-state economy requires adherence to four basic rules or system principles:[24]
- Maintain the health of ecosystems and the life-support services they provide.
- Extract renewable resources like fish and timber at a rate no faster than they can regenerate.
- Consume non-renewable resources like fossil fuels and minerals at a rate no faster than they can be replaced by the discovery of renewable substitutes.
- Deposit wastes in the environment at a rate no faster than they can be safely assimilated.
Policies for sticking to these rules are varied. The first rule requires conservation of enough land and water such that healthy ecosystems can flourish and evolve.[citation needed] The second and third rules call for principled regulation of resource extraction rates.[citation needed] Direct forms of regulation include cap and trade systems, extraction quotas, and severance taxes. The fourth rule requires pollution restrictions, such as emissions limits or toxicity standards. In addition to rules aimed at specific extraction and pollution activities, there are general macroeconomic policies and potential management actions that can help stabilize growth and limit throughput to sustainable levels.[citation needed] These types of policies and actions include managing interest rates and the money supply for stability, addition of environmental and social costs to prices, increased flexibility in working hours, and alteration of bank lending practices.[1]
Critics of the idea of limits to growth present two main arguments:
- Technological progress and gains in efficiency can overcome the limits to growth
- The economy can be de-materialized so that it grows without using more and more resources.
These can be called the technological optimist and decoupling arguments respectively.
Decoupling means achieving higher levels of economic output with lower levels of material and energy input.[25][26] Proponents of decoupling cite transition to an information economy as proof of decoupling. Evidence shows that economies have achieved some success at relative decoupling. As an example, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per dollar of economic production has decreased over time. But those gains have come amidst the background condition of increasing GDP. Even with decreases in the resource intensity of GDP, economies are still using more resources. Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have increased by 80% since 1970.[27]
Ecological economists also observe that an economy is structured like an ecosystem – it has a trophic structure that controls flows of energy and materials. In nature, the producers are plants, which literally produce their own food in the process of photosynthesis. Herbivores consume plants, and carnivores consume herbivores. Omnivores may eat plants or animals, and some species function as service providers, such as scavengers and decomposers. The human economy follows the same natural laws. The producers are the agricultural and extractive sectors, such as logging, mining, and fishing. Surplus in these sectors allows for the division of labor, economic growth, and the flow of resources to other economic sectors. Analogous to herbivores, some economic sectors, such as manufacturing, consume the raw materials of the producers. Higher level manufacturers are analogous to carnivores. The economy also features service providers, such as chefs, janitors, bankers, and purveyors of information. The key point is that the economy tends to grow as an integrated whole. More manufacturing and more services requires more agricultural and extractive surplus. The trophic structure of the economy puts limits on how much of an economy's resources can be dedicated to creating and distributing information.[28]
Both technological optimists and proponents of decoupling cite efficiency of resource use as a way to mitigate the problems associated with economic growth. But history has shown that when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used, the rate of consumption of that resource actually tends to rise. This phenomenon is called the rebound effect (conservation) or Jevons Paradox. A recent extensive historical analysis of technological efficiency improvements has conclusively shown that energy and materials use efficiency improvements were almost always outpaced by economic growth, resulting in a net increase in resource use and associated pollution.[29][30] Furthermore, there are inherent thermodynamic (i.e., second law of thermodynamics) and practical limits to all efficiency improvements. For example, there are certain minimum unavoidable material requirements for growing food, and there are limits to making automobiles, houses, furniture, and other products lighter and thinner without the risk of losing their necessary functions.[31] Since it is both theoretically and practically impossible to increase resource use efficiencies indefinitely, it is equally impossible to have continued and infinite economic growth without a concomitant increase in resource depletion and environmental pollution, i.e., economic growth and resource depletion can be decoupled to some degree over the short run but not the long run. Consequently, Herman Daly[citation needed] and others in the ecological economics community have advocated that long-term sustainability require the transition to a steady-state economy in which total GDP remains more or less constant.
Some critics of zero growth claim that it does not go far enough. They argue that degrowth and fundamental changes to our economic system are needed to attain sustainability.[32]

|University Theatre presents a production
of The Spyglass Seven
Friday-Saturday September 6-7, 2013 at
7:30 pm and Sunday, September 8 at 2 pm
in the Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre, Thompson Hall
Plan now to attend a unique and exciting event, the first ever production of a play by the winner of the Creative Artist Award in theatre-playwriting, The Spyglass Seven. Admission is $5, free with NCSU Id, open to community and students. Contact Ticket Central to reserve a ticket (even free tickets) at 919.515.1100
Written by Michael Seebold, who is majoring in English and Philosophy, the play is about a single night when a deceased Edgar Allen Poe is given the chance to find his soul mate. The eerie and thoughtful play will be performed on stage Sept 6-8, 2013 in the Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre.
In giving Michael the award, theatre director John McIlwee said, "Michael's work, The Spyglass Seven, is a one-act play of intriguing simplicity and strong melodrama that features the ghost of famed poet and author Edgar Allan Poe returning from the grave at the behest of his muse, Beauty. Wishing to spare him loneliness in death, Poe is given the task of finding his true 'soul mate' from the ghosts of seven important omen in his life. Michael has created a world of romance and mystery that explores the magnificent words of Poe applied to the situations and emotions of the women he knew and often loved. He has given us a view of Poe that allows the audience to span the arc of his literary genius throughout his life and he has done it with an entertaining conceit that has made his play this year's (2012) Creative Artist Award winner in Theatre."

5.0 stars 15 totalReview Scott Grabel
Posted by Jim
Scott Grabel and Associates have represented me twice in the last two years. They helped me navigate the justice system, and made me aware of options I never would have discovered without their help. A very knowledgeable team with excellent communication skills. Scott and his team are the people to seek out when you need professional legal advice and representation! Thank you Scott Grabel and Associates.

I've read all the comments here, and they are all true. I spent almost a year defending myself with Scott as my lead attorney. I was falsely accused and facing 4 felony counts with a potential of 15 years in prison. Anyone who's been to court knows that its not about truth, justice or right and wrong. Scott was tenacious in my defense and helped me make some difficult choices. He always told me the hard truth, and guided me to making the right choices. I am forever in Scott's debt for getting me out of an impossible case. If I was convicted, my family's life would have been over... He is a friend and confidant. He is smart, aggressive and takes the time to listen. He is always welcome in my house, and I have no words that fully describe my gratitude for his help. Hoorah Scott, you a good man and a great lawyer... Thanks for everything you've done. I would not be here without you.. Dan

After a night of irresponsible drinking in East Lansing, I found myself charged with two counts of disorderly conduct (drunk & disorderly, obstruction/hindrance) and one count of minor in possession of alcohol. Understanding the grave nature these charges could have on my permanent record, I knew I had to hire a more than competent attorney. Upon calling Mr. Scott Grabel's office on a Sunday morning and talking to an amenable secretary, I found Scott personally reaching out to me within the next half-hour. From our very first contact to the date of the trial, Scott made me feel like I was in great and reassuring hands. Mr. Grabel regularly kept in touch with me, calling even on weekends to ensure that I understood the entire process that we were going through, and also made it his policy to let me know that I could reach out to him at any time. In the end, Scott accomplished what he told me he would - he kept these charges off my record. One charge was dismissed, another charge became a littering ticket, and the last count I received six months of probation for (which will not appear on my record if I successfully complete my probation).
Overall, Mr. Grabel is a terrific lawyer. He is a very confident attorney with considerable knowledge of the laws and culture in Michigan and many years of experience to back his confidence up. I could not be more pleased with my experience of working with Scott. I highly recommend Mr. Grabel and I know that hiring Scott was the best decision I could have made.

Mr. Grabel gave us great advice and guided us through and extremely difficult situation with our college age son. As a parent you could not ask for better representation for our son. As parents miles away we were kept informed every step of the way. We were blessed to have had such excellent representation for our son. I feel blessed and grateful we called Mr. Grabel.

Scott handled my son's case with great care and knowledge- not only of the law but also of the court and staff. His insight helped prepare us for what to expect and was always available to us no matter the time. The outcome was better than hoped for and I know it was because of Scott. We are very grateful for his help.

Scott is an amazing attorney and human being. From the first moment I talked to him, he showed compassion and helped alleviate my concerns. He is honest, empathetic, kind, caring, extremely reliable and knows his stuff. I was concerned when he told me someone else would be handling my case. He reassured me that I would not be disappointed and I wasn't. My case was assigned to William Weise. Bill like Scott, was amazing. He was straight forward, professional but down to earth, returned all calls and emails (unlike my previous attorney), he even gave me his cell phone number, he went out of his way to meet me and explained everything in detail. I knew what to expect and he worked hard on my behalf. Both stood behind their word and their service is above and beyond. The old saying you get what you pay for is definitely true. Scott and Bill were worth every penny. I found Scott after my first attorney completely failed me. I read probably 30 reviews and they were all consistent with the experience I had. Stop your search, call Scott and trust that you made the right choice!!! Thank you Scott and I am forever grateful Bill!!!

I retained Scott Grable & associates for a criminal case I received and I must tell you they are some of the best attorneys I have ever seen Mr Scott Grable is a man of his word and the attorney he assigned to me was William Weise. Bill told me everything that was going to happen and it happen the way they said it was I couldn't say nothing better about Bill and he was more like family then a attorney I would recommend these guys in a hot red second and again thank you very much Mr Scott Graebel and William Weise u guys are the best..

This guy is awesome. I had an open intox in vehicle case which I was the passenger and wasn't drinking in the car, I just so happened to have an open bottle of Smirnoff roll forward under my seat when the driver got pulled over.
I ended up getting a ticket for this and since I already had an MIP from my high school days about 5 years ago, they weren't budging on a plea bargain. Mr. Grabel would not take no for an answer. I was about to be applying for a bunch of jobs at a career fair coming up and would not want this open intox case on my record and to negatively impact my opportunities for employment.
Anyways, I also had a previous lawyer who didn't do barely anything for me and told me I should just make smarter decisions next time. I got rid of that guy and hired Mr. Grabel 2 days before my trial. Just as expected, Mr. Grabel shows up and gets right down to business. Got my open intox dropped down to a civil infraction, with nothing showing up on my record and no points on my license.
I'm now about to be in the process of getting my previous MIP expunged from my record as well, so my record will be totally clean.
Scott Grabel is a life saver and you would be wise to hire him for your case. Although yes somewhat pricey, the results speak for themselves. Don't risk your future with another lawyer, Mr. Grabel is the best out there.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I was ticketed for an MIP as well as disobeying a police officer (questionable on the second one). I didn't know really where to turn for a lawyer because I was away at college. I talked to three lawyers before Scott, and they all bashed me for the MIP and told me I was going to jail. However, when I talked to Scott, he not only addressed my concerns but calmed me down considerably. On top of that, he came to my dorm to meet and discuss options. He didn't charge me for either the phone call or the meeting. He always made sure I knew my rights about retaining a lawyer and the courtroom. He told me that he would be able to bring down the charges. Although he is not the cheapest lawyer, his confidence and ability to make bargains makes it all worth it. I would have to call once and a while if I had a question and he would always answer, even if it was an odd hour. He always reminded me that he was just a phone call away and is very curteous. To top it all off, he even gave me a ride to the courthouse and then to class for my hearing. As for the MIP and other charge, both were DROPPED. He is a top-notch lawyer and an upstanding person. I would not recommend anybody but him.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I received a traffic ticket from an accident and the first attorney that I spoke with told me that there was nothing I could do and that I should just pay the ticket. Looking for a second opinion, I contacted Scott Grabel and got a call back right away. He encouraged me to fight the ticket and he ended up being able to get it dismissed with a few phone calls- I didn't have to show up for court or anything. I was very pleased with my experience with Mr. Grabel and the firm, I highly recommend them!

Cartoons after Southampton ban photographers from Argyle match
Posted: August 09, 2010|
IT'S comic book stuff as Plymouth Argyle start the season with a win — but these images form part of The Herald's coverage after rivals Southampton banned photographers from the match.
The drawings, by city historian and Herald contributor Chris Robinson, were commissioned in response to Southampton Football Club's controversial decision to force newspapers to buy photos from a single accredited agency.
The Herald, along with many other media outlets, had refused to buy the "official" images from Southampton.
In the end, Plymouth Argyle stepped in to provide a solution to the stand-off by releasing their own images of their players in their 1-0 season-opening win at St Mary's.
The Herald's editor, Bill Martin, said: "It's outrageous that a football club is blocking photographers from covering something which is of much interest and importance to many people.
"All credit to Argyle for putting the best interests of fans, their players and their sponsors first and publishing their own photographs."
Had that solution not been found, The Herald was ready with Chris's drawings.
Chris said: "It was an interesting escapade.
"I'm a bit rusty as far as that sort of thing is concerned, but I used to do a lot as a kid."
Chris said his style was inspired by comic strips such as Roy of the Rovers, and the result couldn't have been scripted better.
The lifelong Argyle fan said: "It was brilliant. After the struggle for points last season, it was great to start with an away win, especially against Southampton."
Rick Cowdery, Plymouth Argyle's head of communications, said: "We believe that the Green Army, our shirt sponsors Ginsters and our kit suppliers Adidas — not to mention our players — would have suffered as a result of Southampton's unpopular restrictions on Press photographers.
"On that basis, we decided to release pictures of our players during Saturday's wonderful triumph at St Mary's, taken by the club's official photographer Dave Rowntree, and put them into the public domain.
"Dave has been taking pictures of Argyle for The Herald for many years and we saw no justifiable reason why that should not continue this weekend.
"Had The Herald been forced by Southampton's ban to run their report of Saturday's victorious game without Dave's fine pictures of Luke Summerfield's winning goal and celebrations that followed, then we would have been letting our supporters down."

Libyan situation has never been more 'critical,' says prelate
Catholic World News - May 21, 2014
A general who touts his opposition to Islamist militias has revolted against the Libyan government that emerged after NATO's 2011 military action against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi.
"The situation remains tense, because it is not clear what lies beneath and what the various militias want to do," Bishop Giovanni Martinelli, the apostolic vicar of Tripoli, told the Fides news agency.
"I have never found myself in such a critical situation," he added. "We hope common sense prevails … Pray for us, because the only force is that of prayer that moves the hearts of people."

text: This is primarily for Richard & Christian, although I'm putting it on the list as it may interest others. I have almost finished the example application on how I intend to implement a multi-threaded server with Stackless Tasklets dedicated to a single thread (i.e. scripting in one thread, network access/monitoring in another thread, database access in yet another thread, etc). I used the Stackless embed demo as inpisration, but rewrote the code I required (as the license on the demo was not conducive to "commercial allowed" sharing to my understanding). In the process I believe I fixed a few shortcomings and discovered a weird compiler wanring that made me scratch my head. The shortcomings in the demo I will outline when I submit my framework to the list, but the weird warning I thought I would raise now. As background, I am using Boost.Python to embed Stackless within an application context & am using the Stackless Python 2.5 release. I made some "hackish" changes to Boost.Python in order to compile the application without warnings popping up all the time (Python 2.5 uses Py_ssize_t instead of int for "size" values now, Boost has not been updated to reflect this - I simply cast down to int in all areas that complained of this problem). I am using MSVC 7.1 to compile the application (but am using Python, Boost, and Standard headers only in an effort to make the framework as cross-platform as possible). The weird error is that whenever I compile the application, I get the following error... "stackless_impl.h(82) : warning C4273: 'PyEval_EvalFrameEx_slp' : inconsistent dll linkage" Looking at the source code in question, it would appear that 'PyEval_EvalFrameEx_slp' is the only function without a PyAPI_FUNC(...) wrapper around the return value. I do not know enough about the internals of Stackless to know whether I should change this or not. Given that the rest of Stackless has no warnings associated with the compilation - I am curious as to what makes this function special or why (if it is not special) the warning is raised? Regards, B.J.Tolputt _______________________________________________ Stackless mailing list Stackless at stackless.com http://www.stackless.com/mailman/listinfo/stackless

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: The Making of a Television…

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 006089721X, Paperback)Every year, as the leaves start turning gold and the night air gets chilly, children all over the world begin dreaming of the Great Pumpkin... Well, at least one faithful child does. Poor Linus. While Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy, and the gang make preparations for trick-or-treating and Halloween parties, this stalwart believer risks their ridicule to write his annual letter to the mystical orange orb, in hopes that this year he'll be able to catch sight of his hero as he rises from the most sincere pumpkin patch around to fly through the air with his bag of toys for all the children.
For over 35 years, children have eagerly anticipated Halloween, not just for the tricks and treats, but because they know their favorite television special will be aired. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is based on this TV program, so now fans can enjoy the Halloween antics of the Peanuts gang any time. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Users get a tutorial from Banks in the form of a slightly cheesy voice-over, and can use the app's facial morphing technology to adjust their eyes to enhance and exude different emotions. The supermodel created the app after receiving tons of how-to questions from fans. She explained to Mashable:
"On Instagram and Twitter millions of people send me pictures asking 'Am I smizing?,' 'Can you teach me how to smize?,' 'Is it fierce enough? It's about the marketplace … If they are asking for advice, we created an app based on that."
After perfecting their smize on the app, users can upload the new pic onto social media channels, or sext someone. According to Mashable, Tyra said the perfect place to smize is in a sext because sexiness is in the eyes. Sexting has never sounded weirder.
Check out how a preview of the app below:

(Feb 02, 2008) Seven months after his appointment as Chief Justice of Swaziland, Richard Banda acknowledged the existence of "too much corruption" in the country's judiciary. Speaking about the setbacks experienced in the year 2007, he disclosed that serious corruption allegations have been made against individuals working in all branches of the criminal justice system, including judges.
Banda also talked about the causes for the court congestion in the year 2007. He attributed the problem to "inadequate funding, [an] inadequate number of judges and magistrates posts, limited jurisdiction for magistrates both in civil and criminal cases, inadequate court houses in regional centers, … limited means of transport which has resulted in the infrequent visits to circuit courts, and … inadequate court staff." As a result, the Chief Justice stated, there was an "unacceptable number of people waiting on remands, for delivery of judgments, for sentencing, and for bail applications." According to the Chief Justice, for these reasons the judiciary was branded inefficient. (Swaziland Chief Justice Paints Dim Picture, Calls Criminal Justice 'Inefficient,' AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE, Jan. 22, 2008, Open Source Center No. AFP20080122544007.)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- Authorities say a 24-year-old man accidentally shot himself while cleaning his handgun in Colorado Springs.
Police say the man, whose name has not been released, was sitting in his vehicle when he spilled soda on the gun Saturday afternoon. The man wiped the gun clean, and the weapon accidentally discharged as he was replacing the magazine.
He was taken to a hospital in fair condition after suffering injuries to his left hand, left thigh and left calf.

WOBURN, Mass. – A collection of Revolutionary War-era silver from the First Congregational Church of Woburn, Mass.—one of the first houses of worship in the United States—will be featured in an upcoming annual summer Antique, Asian and Fine Art auction to be hosted by James D. Julia, Inc., on Aug. 21-23, 2013.
The silver collection is a "who's who" time capsule of 18th-century Boston-area silversmiths. The eight antique silver pieces—two loving cups and six beakers—are in excellent original and untouched condition with only the slightest imperfections resulting from age. Each item is inscribed; all but two have maker's marks.
The loving cups are 5 1/8 inches and 7 ¼ inches tall:
• The smaller one is by George Hanners, Sr., and is engraved "The Gift of Coll. Eleazer Flegg to the Church in Woburn 1726."
• The bigger one is by J. Jones and is engraved "The Gift of Joseph Lawrance Esqr To the first Church of Christ In Woburn 1882."
The four marked beakers range in size from 5 3/8 to 6 1/8 inches:
• The first, by Jacob Hurd, is inscribed "The Gift of N Saltonstall and R Cotton to the first Church of Christ in Woburn."
• The second, by Josiah Austin, is inscribed "Belonging to the first Church of Christ in Woburn 1769."
• The third, by Benjamin Burt, is inscribed "The Gift of Mr Isaac Stone; to the first Church of Christ, in Woburn. 1771."
• And the fourth marked beaker, by John Burt, is inscribed "The Gift of Mr. Roland Cotton to the first Church of Christ in Woburn 1741."
The two unmarked beakers are each 5 7/8 inches tall and inscribed with the identical phrase "The Gift of Mr. Roland Cotton to the Second Church of Christ in Woburn 1740." Each item will carry a conservative estimate in the catalog to encourage a high degree of participation.
The First Congregational Church of Woburn can trace its roots back to the earliest days of the colonial period and the founding the original Massachusetts Bay colony. The church opened its doors in August of 1642 and has been in continuous operation since. Although the structure has been changed and updated numerous times over its 370-plus-year history, today it is the tallest and largest wooden structure of its type, standing 196 feet tall with a capacity to seat 1,500 people. The building has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992.
Several years ago, as the result of a severe New England hurricane, the front of the church suffered extensive structural and aesthetic damage. The church tried to raise the funds needed for repairs through donations, fundraisers and grants, but these efforts to date were not able to generate the money needed for this essential project. A group of church trustees suggested that the organization sell the church's collection of silver beakers and loving cups. These artifacts, although property of the church since the 1700s, had been cataloged by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and had been in storage there for more than 100 years. As a matter of fact, the last time the vessels were on public display was 1967. Although a handful of congregants were unhappy with the potential sale, most agreed that selling the silver at a top tier auction house would be a wise solution to the organization's financial challenges.
"We need the funds generated by the silver sale to repair the church and restore the front so it again represents the legacy of the congregation and its community," said church trustee Ed Peterson. "It is leadership's hope that these highly visible projects will energize our existing parishioners, encourage contributions, and attract new families to our organization."
This important project requires the resources and expertise from both Julia's Fairfield, Maine, headquarters, as well as the company's full-service office in Woburn, Mass., which delivers first rate identification, valuation, and auction services to customers in the Boston and southern New England areas.
"It is an honor and a privilege to be working on behalf of The First Congregational Church, which is such a significant and historically important institution," said James Callahan, co-director of Julia's Woburn facility. "The Woburn connection between the church and our offices adds additional layers of excitement and interest to this sale. The collection is a superb assembly of locally manufactured, Paul Revere-era silver that tells a wonderful story about a critical time in our country's history. Holding pieces of it in my hands literally transports me back to revolutionary times."
The First Congregational Church of Woburn, Mass., Silver Collection will be sold at the James D. Julia's annual summer Antique, Asian and Fine Art auction on Aug. 21-23, 2013. For more information about this auction, visit the James D. Julia, Inc., website.

How to Attract Frogs
Frogs provide excellent pest control because they eat insects such as mosquitoes, moths, beetles, cockroaches, snails, slugs and flies. There are many types of frogs, but the best kind to have in your garden or yard are frogs local to your area. All frogs need shelter, food, moisture, and a place to breed. This article will show you how to attract frogs to your garden or yard.
1Choose a spot for a frog pond in your yard or garden.
- Make sure the pond is partially shaded. Ponds need some direct sunlight to be healthy environments. However, frogs prefer shaded environments for breeding and shelter from the sun.
- At least one edge of the pond should be thickly vegetated with leafy plants that grow well in your area. This will insure that frogs have food, shelter and a place to hibernate.
2Dig a hole that is about 2 to 3 feet (.6 to .9 m) deep and as wide as you prefer.
- The pond should have shallow edges so that the frogs can enter and leave it easily.
3Line the hole with sand and lay a piece of heavy duty plastic across the hole.
4Add another thin layer of sand across the top of the plastic.
5Weight the entire perimeter of the plastic with rocks that are heavy enough to keep it in place.
6Fill the pond with water.
7Introduce native pond plants to your frog pond to infuse the water with oxygen.
8Plant an assortment of flowering and non-flowering plants in your yard or garden to provide a diversity of the insects for the frogs to enjoy.
9Keep a compost heap and mulch the beds in your garden. The bugs that are attracted to a compost heap and mulch make great food for frogs.
- Do not remove leaf litter from some areas in your yard. Leaf litter provides shelter for frogs and some of their prey also prefers areas with leaf litter.
10Wait for frogs to colonize your yard or garden.
- It may take a few years for frogs to populate your garden, even after you have created a suitable environment for them.
- If attracting frogs takes longer than you would like, you can try seeding your pond with tadpoles in the spring. Make sure you use a type of tadpole that is native to your area.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Frogs hibernate in winter. Do not worry about your frogs if they are lying dormant near the bottom of the pond during cold weather, even if there is ice on the pond.
- Often elementary teachers have tadpoles in their classrooms that they need to find a home for at the end of the school year. They can be an excellent source of local tadpoles.
- Do not put a fountain in a frog pond. Frog eggs and tadpoles can become caught in the pump.
- Frogs can be killed by a lawn mower. If you keep your grass short, you will be more likely to see frogs when you mow.
- Goldfish and mosquito fish eat frog eggs. Do not put them in a pond to which you wish to attract frogs.
- Never transport frogs from more than about 12 miles (20 km) away to your pond. This can spread be dangerous to local frogs and spread frog diseases.
- Nylon mesh used to protect your garden plants should have a mesh that is at least 1.5 inches (4 cm) and all mesh should be taut. Otherwise garden frogs can be trapped in the mesh and die.
Things You'll Need
- Shovel
- Garden sand
- Thick sheet of plastic (cut to size)
- Rocks (enough for the entire perimeter of the pond)
- Water
- Pond plants
- Variety of leafy plants
- Compost
- Mulch

Quinn Emanuel switches up OCI
instead of all the twenty minute interviews, many of them with students who aren't a match for us or us for them, we're going to come to the law schools in the spring, invite all the first year students and have a fun, freewheeling "get to know you" party with enough of our lawyers present so students can meet (and even talk for more than twenty minutes) to a real cross-section from all the offices (and not have to wear suits). then we'll follow up with direct submission of resumes. we think it will give more students a chance to get to know us over a longer period of time, and even collect offers in their back pockets before they enter the OCI pressure cooker. of course we'll extend the time those offers stay open so they can compare us to the other firms they meet at OCI; we're confident that we'll compare very well. we're going to do a trial run this year at six schools, with parties on the following days, and look forward to meeting every first year who might be interested in any of our offices.There is definitely something mildly insane about how OCI currently functions. Summer associates are expensive, not just in terms of salary but also opportunity cost. Not the sort of jobs you want doled out based on a series of 20 minute interviews.
Yale: March 27 at 6:30 pm
Harvard: March 28 at 6:30 pm
Chicago & Northwestern: April 5 at 6:30 pm
Berkeley: April 10 at 6:30 pm
Stanford: April 11 at 6:30 pm
But I'm not sure that replacing the interviews with a cocktail party / networking event is the way to go. For starters, parties aren't a great way of identifying the things that really matter to a firm -- e.g. your legal research and writing, your tolerance of long hours, your ability to meet deadlines, and so forth. For that matter, I'm not sure networking events are even a good way of identifying people you'd get along with. Hell is a swarm of 1Ls trying to impress upon you their deep, deep love of IP litigation. That and the awkward small talk.
Another way of interpreting this is that short of puking on a partner, what you do at the "get to know you" party has absolutely zero bearing on your chance of a callback. That is, Quinn's throwing out the screening stage altogether and working solely off transcripts and resumes. Which leads us to how good a predictor grades are of firm success ... but that's another post altogether.
Also, people forget this every year, but Quinn does litigation. And only litigation. So if you hate WOA, don't go to the Quinn party because you want a job. Go because there's free food.

Samsung - about the only good thing to come out of Korea.
I have had my Sync master 940MW Now for ni on 3 years.
It came with a warranty. a Nice 3 year one.
Any way it is on its way out after 3 years 2 days (according to there technical support)
I have lost its receipt as well.
Phoned Samsung and after chatting to a very nice tech support ..
Its getting replaced :worship::worship::worship:
Well happy.
Could not ask for any thing better than that ....
Tried to get 1 key repaired for my laptop because there was obviously a production line problem and they told me to eff off (not in the in your face way) but I was so angry at that. I was in the warranty by months and they still refused. 1 DAMN KEY. Made my laptop useless.
that happened to me a a fuji and they wanted £99 for a new keyboard ... seems like there all the same in that respect.
They didn't even refer me or offer me to pay for the key. I had to do all the research myself. All the companies required me to purchase a whole keyboard, Samsung could of easily sent 1 key out it costs NOTHING for them.
Never buying anything Samsung tbh, ever.
The delivery guy turned up with the TV all box up , no marks what so ever. (on the boxes that is)
He asked me for my TV and i handed it across. He then un did his packaging to reveal and discomfiting site.
It was a bent and twisted moulded pace of plastic that looks like Godzilla has been playing twister with King Kong on it while in there offices. Inside was a warranty replacement sticker with "New replacement part" slapped on it ...
Needless to say the delivery guy stopped and look at me and came out with "I presume this wont be getting delivered". Me being the quite expressive type of person accidentaly slipped out with "no shi! Sherlock"..
So a quick phone call to there tech support to a very nice Scottish guy who spoke so fast i had to ask what he was saying 5 times (that's not a joke). Eventaly i just handed across my RMA no and explained at the state of the tv / Monitor and he said "hmm so you accepted the delivery then" .. hahaha what a joker i thought to my self as i calmly asked him " Does a bear Shi!s in the woods" ... I don't think he understood me very well. I think i may have been speaking to slowly for him as he seemingly paused for a few moments to digest what i had said to him.
Needless to say after a bit of banter they are going to send me out another out .... But this time when i comes im taking photos just in case it happens again ....
Bloody tech support cowboys ....
Though I got one with a slight scrath on the screen, speaking again they replaced it. Next one was fine. ;D
Always liked them.
live and learn lol.
mind you atm postmen are not my best friend's as i also received a well packaged item from TT that had looked like it had gone 10 rounds with mike tyson and after opening it up i found one of the res's has been smashed. now it wasn't cracked it was smashed so some one some were doesn't like me today. TT has kindly asked me to take photos and he said he would replace it but like I said to TT its oky as its not his fault and to be honest the price i paid im not going to complain as its a fact of life.
How ever i did go down to the post office today told them off in my usual Mr Angry manner lol ....

Harvested from ancient varieties of pumpkins, European pumpkin seeds are prized for their intense flavour and high nutritional content. European pumpkin seeds are darker in colour, higher in fiber, proteins, vitamins and minerals than Chinese pumpkin seeds. It takes only half a cup of pumpkin seeds to meet 60% of your recommended daily iron intake.
Originally from North and South America, the pumpkin was domesticated in Mexico about 9000 years ago and was used for its medicinal virtues. The Algonquian's Menomini used pumpkin seeds as a diuretic, and later North American settlers would ground the seed, mix it with water, milk and honey to use it to fight intestinal parasites. The Cherokees also used pumpkin seeds to help treat bed wetting in children. In Central America, pumpkin seeds were used to treat nephritis and urinary tract infections.
In Mexico, these pepitas are usually toasted and flavored with salt, lime, or chili peppers for light snack.
Pumpkin seeds can easily be added to muffins, cookies, breads, salads, smoothies, and even cereals. To get the most out of pumpkin seeds, eat them raw!

Colours of Fall Gluten Free Veggie Pate
Raw unsweetened Brazil nut & pumpkin seed milk
Nut Butter Energy Bars

Apple-Carrot Vegan muffins
Among American Indians, the pumpkin represents the sun, where its roundness refers to fertility and prosperity. For the followers of Feng Shui, it represents the relationship between parents and their children and the possibility of reviving the passion between lovers.
As pumpkin seeds are fragile, it is best to conserve them in the refrigerator.Origin:

Recently my mother and sister both acquired stoves with a built in griddle.
I am very happy for them and very sad for myself...Having a built in griddle is a great idea because if you are not making pancakes for breakfast on the weekends you are missing out on a great ritual. Nothing says weekend like pancakes for breakfast.
Before you get out that pancake mix, I need to tell you why that is a bad idea. I find that all you have to do is use self-rising flour and you take out the need for a mix. You are actually making it from scratch. They taste better too. There is one hitch. It includes buttermilk. Now before you skip over this post let me tell you that I agree with you. I always avoided recipes with buttermilk - until I found other recipes that used it and warranted keeping a small quart in my refrigerator. Buttermilk makes biscuits and cakes perform at a different level. Buttermilk also has a much longer shelf life than regular milk and the taste it gives to the pancakes you can't get in regular milk.
Besides the mechanics of the recipe, I have to tell you that once you use this base recipe you can be creative and change it based on what you have in your pantry. You can add bananas, strawberries, blueberries, coconut - any number of ingredients to get a different type of pancake. Once you make the base just be creative and have fun with it. Here are a few of my pancake recipes that use this recipe.
Base Pancake Recipe
2 cups self rising flour
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Combine ingredients and whisk in a mixing bowl. Cook in a skillet with 1 tbsp of butter on medium. Makes roughly 8 large pancakes or 16 small.

The Adair County football team has been on the rise ever since head coach Travis Gay took over in 2011 and if they have it their way 2013 will be the year of the Indians.
In 2010 the Indians had just one win, enter head coach Gay.
In 2011 Adair County won four games and last year went six and five.
Talk to players and they'll credit coach with changing the culture of the program and the way they work.
If the Indians want to continue their uptick, coach says it's all about winning, but they have to win before Friday night.

I got back from Reno last night, just in time for dinner on the playa and a really great night out at Crane Camp. People are starting to drive around now in the evenings, visiting each other and checking out the different camps. You can see multiple sets of headlights off in the distance, rolling randomly down the Esplanade or open playa like a colony of confused ants, missing each other by minutes along different trajectories. As we were hanging out under the stars on couches attached to the back of renovated Caddies, some of the Temple crew cruised by in their rocket car to see what's up. It's just like any other neighborhood really.
