Airdrying hair with a fan? I tried it!
So I've seen a few people talking about air drying their hair with a fan and i just had to try it! A fan? As in a normal stand up fan? YEP!
So i am a fan of air dying my hair instead of using a hair dryer due to my hair not being very good with heat. If i of course am going for a more voluminous look, then a hair dryer (low heat) and diffuser (I use this one) will always be my go to method.
I didn't have to rush off anywhere so i thought it would be a perfect time to try this method out.
I was very very happy with the outcome. It took me maybe 10-15 mins of sitting on the floor in front of the fan (on full speed) for my hair to be almost completely dry. Anyone used to using a dryer knows that to get hair to dry fully takes at least 20mins of diffusing, so big bonus.
The first thing that i noticed about my hair during this method, was that my curls were not bouncing up, resulting in shrinkage. My curls stayed with the definition that styling products had created, kept the length it has when it is wet, but yet was almost fully dry!!!
I gave it a little longer, but this didn't change at all. My hair was long, dried, definied and shiny. These are results that even usual air drying doesnt usually achieve, as with my hair the top back section dries a million times faster than the rest of my hair (👎).
Click the link to watch the video here and of course check out my instagram page @candi_curls to see the final results and hear what i thought.
Peace and Love
PS please do try this method, i think it may be my new faveourite way to dry my hair.

The projected volume growth of two-wheelers will be least affected due to demonetisation. Analysts have cut their growth projections for the segment by 2-4 per cent for FY17 and FY18 compared with a 6-10 per cent cut for CVs and passenger cars.
In addition, CV volume is expected to decline by 6 per cent in FY17, the first fall since FY14.The volume growth of two-wheelers is expected to be 6 per cent for FY17.
There are two reasons why analysts are more optimistic about two-wheelers. First, the transaction size is small compared with CVs and cars. A two-wheeler is also a part of the essential items basket for the lower and middle-income customers. Hence, the short-term constraint on cash availability may postpone the purchase rather than cancelling it.
The scooter and commuter bike segments are likely to see a relatively faster recovery. However, sales of premium bikes may be affected for a longer duration. Also, since nearly half of the demand of two-wheelers originates from the replacement market, their volumes are expected to revive faster.
The second reason is that nearly 50 per cent of the two-wheeler sales is derived from rural India which mostly earns agriculture-related income.This income is non-taxable and hence, is out of purview of the income tax laws in the aftermath of demonetisation.
Also, the demand will recover in the next fiscal given higher Kharif output and increased Rabi crop sowing. According to the agriculture ministry, total sown area under Rabi crop on November 25 was 327.6 lakh hectares versus 313.2 lakh hectares last year.
Credit Suisse recently upgraded Hero Moto to a neutral rating from under-perform stating that the company will be the least impacted in the next fiscal. Bajaj Auto will benefit from new products here and a sizeable chunk of income from exports.

After taking Kerala Blasters all the way to the finals of the 2016 edition where they lost to ATK on penalties, Coppell took charge of new entrants Jamshedpur FC in 2017-18 and led them to the fifth place on the table in their inaugural season. The English coach is known for his defence-first approach and his teams are often built around a strong backline. Under Coppell, Jamshedpur FC had the best defence in the league stage of ISL last season whereas ATK leaked 30 goals, the second-highest tally in the league.
The 63-year-old has a wealth of experience under his belt, including stints at Reading, Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Carles Cuadrat replaces fellow Spaniard Albert Roca at the club, who bid goodbye to the Blues at the end of the 2017-18 season. Cuadrat had joined Bengaluru FC along in the capacity of an assistant manager with Roca in 2016.
The Spaniard has now been promoted by Bengaluru FC as their head coach.
The 64-year-old took over from Marco Materazzi who, during his three-year spell in charge of the Super Machans, led the club to the title in 2015. In his first year at the club, Gregory masterminded Chennaiyin FC's second ISL triumph last season. Before Chennaiyin, Gregory last managed Crawley Town before stepping down in 2014, citing health issues.
The former England international managed Aston Villa in the Premier League between 1998 and 2002.
The Spaniard was last in charge of A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers where he was let go after the club failed to qualify for the 2017-18 Finals Series. He has, however, won silverware with Adelaide United and Hong Kong's Kitchee SC.
The 42-year-old started out his coaching career in Spain with Catalonian club Amposta before becoming a youth coach at Espanyol and subsequently Barcelona. He is known for favouring a possession-based system.
Sergio Lobera's exit from Moroccan side Moghreb Tetouan eventually resulted in him taking over FC Goa on a two-year contract. In his first year at the club, the Spaniard restructured the side with an influx of Spanish players and finished the season as semi-finalists where they lost against eventual champions Chennaiyin FC. With his attacking style of play, the Gaurs scored a mammoth 42 goals in 18 games in the league stage.
Lobera worked for Barcelona's youth academy for eight years between 1999 and 2007 and also worked as an assistant coach at Barcelona for a month alongside late Tito Vilanova.
The 59-year-old takes over from Steve Coppell who has opted to join Kolkata-based outfit ATK. Ferrando's most notable stint was with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid in the 2003-04 season where they finished 11th in the league and reached the semifinals of the prestigious Copa del Rey.
Besides managing other famous Spanish clubs like Elche and the reserve side of Valencia, the Spaniard was in charge of Malaysian giants Johor Darul Ta'zim and managed the side in the Malaysian Super League 2014 season.
The former Liverpool custodian, who is set to continue as the head coach of the Kerala-based club until 2021, had taken over after Rene Meulensteen was sacked midway through the last season. Under James, Blasters ended the season in the sixth position on the table with 25 points.
David James served as a player-manager at Kerala Blasters in the first season of Indian Super League and helped his team reach the final of the competition.
The former Portuguese international succeeds Alexandre Guimaraes in the Islanders' hot seat. Costa was last in charge of Tours FC in Ligue 2, the second tier of French football, during the 2017-18 season. He has coached several Portuguese clubs including Sporting Braga, Pacos Ferreira and Arouca FC and has also been in charge of Romanian outfit CFR Cluj.
This is the former FC Porto defender's first managerial stint in Asia after his time with the Gabon national team between 2014 and 2016.
The Dutch coach had his last stint in India with East Bengal back in 2014-15 season when they finished fourth in the I-League table. He has previously coached fellow Kolkatan outfit United SC. His last job was with Saudi Arabian club Ettifaq FC where he helped them avoid relegation after filling in as a caretaker manager.
The 46-year-old assisted Avram Grant last season when NorthEast finished at the bottom of the league table with a meagre 11 points from 18 matches.
The former Real Madrid Castilla, Cordoba and Racing Santander coach replaces Marcos Paqueta who left the club without managing a single game. Portugal is a familiar name in the Indian domestic circuit as he was in charge of Delhi Dynamos for 2017/18 ISL season. After a disappointing season with the Dynamos, he left for Spain to join Spanish second-division club Granada CF.
He has also managed in Bolivia (Club Bolivar) and Brazil (Atletico Paranaense). A former La Liga winner (1980) with Real Madrid, Portugal has served as the Technical Director of the Los Blancos.

May Challenges update!
May 19, 2010
During the month of May, I took on a bunch of 30-day Challenges. Overall, I've been doing pretty well!
No Alcohol/Caffeine/Intoxicants Challenge:
In the past 19 days, I've only had drinks on two of them. May 7-9th I had planned a trip to New Mexico with my BFF, so I decided I would let myself "cheat" while there. Over the weekend I consumed two cups of coffee & four drinks. But aside from that, I have refrained from imbibing at nightclubs, Sunday brunches, birthday parties, on Cinco De Mayo, at dinner parties. I find the giving up of coffee more challenging in general, but at this point, I am really craving a glass of fine wine. Though I do appreciate the CLARITY and lack of hangovers or anxiety that go along with booze or caffeine. And the time I can put towards other pursuits (like writing) instead of having to recover or sleep in because I was up late partying. AND the amount of money I end up saving.
Last night my roommate and I got a 6 pack of non-alcoholic beer to go with a little feast we cooked. I had two, and it was actually pretty tasty, though it was a little odd drinking beer and not feeling any buzz at all. And I haven't been drinking anything carbonated, beer or otherwise, so the bubbles made me feel really full and bloaty. Bleh. Well, that combined with the massive amounts of cheese I ingested. I "cheated" there too…
Ayurveda Challenge (No Dairy, No Citrus, No Acidic Foods, etc):
I love cheese. Love love love. Like, seriously. Robusto, Pecorino di Pienza, a nice dill Havarti, any kind of goat… mmmm. But my Ayurvedic doc says no dairy for me (fermented foods are acidic), so I've been staying away from it for the past few weeks. I've been resisting strong pizza cravings for this past week. I did, however, succumb to a wedge of Humbolt Fog last night……..and it was delicious. Humbolt Fog may be one of my most favoritest cheeses ever. Creamy, tangy, salty, YUM.
In general, I haven't been eating dairy, or red meat, or sea food, or processed foods, or sugar. I HAVE been eating a lot of almonds, dates, apples, pears, and veggies: yams, kale, swiss chard, butternut squash & pumpkin soup, asparagus, artichokes, carrots, peas, etc. I've been trying to buy organics. I love eating a bunch of vegetables and not feeling full or bloated afterwards. However, I think I have a date addiction. W'NB! (See other blogs for definition of W'NB).
No Refined Sugar: I've stayed away from anything with sugar in it, except fruit. I've been eating tons of fruit. I have a serious sweet tooth, and I love cookies and chocolate almost as much as I love cheese. Bacon's up there too. Wait, I'm not sure which I love more, cheese or chocolate…cheese or chocolate…hmmm that's a toughie. Maybe cheese, just cuz there are so many varieties and ways to eat it. Anyways, during my cheat weekend in New Mexico, I ate, oh, three candy bars, a cinnamon twist pastry, some muffins, a bunch of honey, an incredible apple crisp with ice cream… Now that I think about it, I actually I don't think I bought any cookies that weekend. So it's been 19 days since I've had a cookie. I don't think I've ever gone more than three. Last weekend I had some blueberry corncakes; they had syrup and powdered sugar on them. Considering how much sugar I usually eat (lots, every day), I am REALLY proud of myself on this. I'm sure stuff that I've ordered at restaurants has had some sugar in it, but I personally haven't been buying most of the crap that I usually do. And I've even been good at work, despite donuts and a friggin' CHEESECAKE PLATTER that was just left sitting out on the table for hours. I looked at it. Many times. But I did not eat it. (I just realized, that's like a double whammy, CHEESE AND CAKE, united. Wow. I'm stronger than I realized).
On top of these I've kept up with my Blog-A-Day Challenge. I think I'm around 17:3. I've meditated every day, though two or three of the days I wasn't able to hit the full twenty minutes. I let the Practice-Harmonica-Every-Day go for now – I couldn't keep that up with everything else. Oh I also hit my Yoga-3-Times-A-Week goal last week.
OH and one of the 30-Day Challenges that I'm MOST proud of: I haven't logged on to Facebook at work a single time this month. I'm trying to minimize Facebook as much as possible – I'd rather spend the time being productive, doing things that align with my life goals. I still check it occasionally on my phone, but I'm spending WAY less time there. So that's a huge accomplishment.
Overall, I've been feeling great. Amazing, actually. I've been consistently super-happy. I've been clear-headed and focused and productive. I've been throughly enjoying life, and I haven't been oscillating between ups and downs, highs and lows. It feels good. Most of these things that I'm avoiding give you a short-term high, and then a crash, or a hangover, or some kind of negative and opposite low. When you cut them out, you just stay high – provided that you're doing other things that keep you there, like eating well, exercising, creating, meditating, reading, spending time with friends, laughing, getting lots of hugs – all of which I've been doing.
I still intend to write a long post on the various other WHYS that I do these Challenges, but basically it comes down to breaking old habits and forming new ones. Also, you don't grow unless you're challenged. I'm interested in growing. These Challenges are like games. I'd rather grow through self-imposed difficulties where I am able to exercise my ability to choose than to grow through some horrible events that are not of my (conscious) choosing. Like, say, cancer from poor eating or lifestyle habits, or a DUI, or whatever. Not that I might not get cancer anyways, since carcinogens are in our air and shampoo and water, and I've eaten crap food for most of my 31 years on this planet. But at least now I'm making choices where I can. I'm experimenting with my life. Some people think I'm crazy or weird because I'm choosing not to drink for 30 days. But it just depends on what angle you're looking at it from. Mindless drinking, when you just drink because you drank before and everyone else drinks and it's just expected (and believe me, it IS), is just as crazy. Everything is life is a choice. Everything. And for those few things that you don't get to choose, that happen to you (cancer again), you can always choose how you react.
Gorgeous Day + Bluebird Cafe
May 13, 2010
What a gorgeous day! 73, cloudless sky, slight breeze, & I'm sitting in the sunshine. I was gonna text that to my friend but instead I figured I'd turn it into a blog post from my phone while I'm waiting for a server…18 days to go on my Blog-a-Day Challenge!
There's a spot called Bluebird Cafe about two blocks from my work. They recently added a huge patio, with trees between the tables & copius amonts of sunshine. It's the perfect lunch spot – yummy food & some vitamin D (W'NB!). There's also reggae. Usually I don't like reggae but since today's so beautiful, I don't mind.
Though they have pretty good cupcakes here, but I'm resisting temptation, per my challenge (there was a cheesecake platter – A FRIGGIN CHEESECAKE PLATTER, WITH 5 FLAVORS – in the kitchen at work yesterday. Argh). For a minute I considered getting a smoothie – I asked, there's just water, ice & juice – but I'm sure the juice has refined sugar. So not getting that either.
Lately, I've been eating a lot of almonds, dates, apples, pears, & figs. All of these are in my approved Ayurvedic foods list. Also been eating some smashed yams w cinnamin & nutmeg that I made a few days ago, pesto pasta, asparagus, & chicken. Last night I cooked kale for the first time in my life – I made kale chips!!! You just put some olive oil on the torn-up leaves & bake them on a sheet at 350 for about 10 mins. They get super crispy & actually taste pretty good! Though they end up flaking everywhere when you eat them since they're so thin. They're noisy to eat – it's kinda like eating paper. Or a crinkly candy wrapper.
Also been drinking lots of water & tea, since I'm no-booze-no-caffeine. I did have some decaf coffee yesterday while I was getting a mani-pedi at Queen Bee. I know it has some caffeine, but they didn't have any non-caffeinated tea, & they had one of those single-serving coffee makers! Those things rule!
My grilled veggie bowl is here. Nomnomnom!
Have you ever looked at what you're eating (or drinking) and thought, "What's in this??" A lot of what we choose to put into our mouths ends up making us sick.
For the month of May I'm attempting not to eat any processed food, refined sugar, caffeine, alcohol, or any other intoxicants (I hadn't thought of sugar as an intoxicant until someone pointed it out…but it does affect your mood!). Also, no dairy, except for goat milk. I've been seeing an Ayurvedic doctor for a few years – he practically cured my mother's Multiple Sclerosis, and I went to him for recurring sinusitis/bronchitis. I don't get either of those anymore.
I'd need to spend a few hours going into detail about Ayurveda, but I like to describe it as the Indian version of Chinese medicine. Ayurveda is all about keeping your body in balance by eating the right foods for your system. Imbalances cause disease. The whole premise is that if you eat right and keep your body in balance, you don't need doctors. In the same way that Western Medicine/science is finally figuring out why Buddhists have been meditating for thousands of years (thickens your brain & gives you all kinds of emotional benefits – that's a whole 'nother blog post too), scientific research is finally starting to back up the things that Ayurvedic wisdom figured out 5,000 years ago…when people didn't have anything else to do besides sit around and figure the best things to eat for your system. 🙂
Anyways, here's what I'll be eating for this month, according to the diet perscribed to me (it's different for everyone, and the diet gets less restrictive as you get more in balance). I've tried to roughly stick to these guidelines for the past few years, but I've never tried it 100%. It's not about eating vegan, or even raw – for me, everything's supposed to be cooked (though I don't cook my fruit…):
Spinach, Green Leafy Veggies, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Zucchini, Green Peas, Leek, Beets, Asparagus, Squashes, Sweet Potatoes, Endive, Artichoke, Kale, Eggplant, Radish, Sprouts, Turnips, Onion (cooked), Bittergourd, Cilantro, Dandelion
Apples, Pears, Persimmons, Dates, Figs
Almonds, Almond Milk, Hot Low-Fat Goat Milk, Honey
Kidney Beans, Lentil, Mung Beans, Masoor Beans
Chicken, Turkey
Garlic, Ginger, Basil, Pepper, Sage, Salt, Thyme, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Coriander, Cumin, Dill, Fennel, Fenugreek, Mint, Mustard Seed, Nutmeg, Oregano, Parsley, Turmeric
Whole Wheat, White rice (basmati), Brown Rice, Corn, Oats, Spelt, Kamut, Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, Rye
Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Corn Oil
Popcorn, Puff Wheat, Rice Cakes, Rice Chewies
Tea: Ginger, Peppermint, Black Tea, Breath Easy, Burdock, Chamomile, Dandelion, Eucalyptus, EMR, Eyebright, Fenugreek, Licorice, Mint, Sarsaparilla, Throat Coat, Uva Ursi, Valerian
Read this Dan Millman quote today:
"You are the expert on your body and life — who knows it better? Listen to others' views — then find out what works best for you. Life is an ongoing experiment. We only reach a conclusion when we get tired of thinking."
So, I'm experimenting. I got a psoriasis flare-up around Coachella; scientists don't know what causes psoriasis but lack of sleep and acidic food/drink (coffee and alcohol) can be triggers. I've tried to make some small adjustments to my diet in the last few weeks but the psoriasis is sticking around. We'll see if a month of this helps!

Religious and secular marriage ceremonies
Since the commencement of Part 6 of the Civil Registration Act 2007 in November 2007, to legally marry you require a Marriage Registration Form (MRF) from a Registrar and whoever is solemnising your marriage must be on the Register of Solemnisers. The Registrar issues the MRF when you give your 3 month notification to the Registrar.
If you are intend getting married by religious or secular ceremony, you should approach the authorities of the body concerned for advice on how to proceed. You will be told what requirements that body has in order to get married under their rites.
While a marriage ceremony can be performed according to the customs and rites of the body, there are certain requirements that must be met in order for the marriage to be legal.
Register of Solemnisers
The person solemnising the marriage must be on the Register of Solemnisers (pdf) which is maintained by the General Registrar. It lists both civil registrars and the members of the various religious and secular bodies who have been nominated by the bodies as solemnisers. It is available for inspection at your local registration office.
The ceremony must be performed in the presence of two witnesses aged 18 or over.
Marriage Registration Form
If you fulfill the 3 months notification requirements and there is no impediment to you getting married, the Registrar will issue you with a Marriage Registration Form (MRF) giving you permission to marry. You should give the MRF to the person who will be solemnising the marriage in advance of the marriage ceremony.
Immediately after the marriage ceremony, the MRF should be signed by you and your spouse, the two witnesses and the person who has solemnised the marriage. The MRF should be returned within one month to a Registrar, for the marriage to be registered. It does not have to be returned to the Registrar who issued it.
Marriage Ceremony
While the marriage ceremony can be performed according to the customs and rites of the religious or secular body, as part of the ceremony you and your intended spouse must make two declarations:
- That you do not know of any impediment to the marriage
- That you accept each other as husband and wife
The venue for the ceremony is a matter for the body. According to the legislation the place where the solemnisation takes place must be open to the public. This means that access to the venue for the general public must be unrestricted.
Interpretive Services
If either you, your intended spouse, either of the two witness or the solemniser does not have sufficient knowledge of the language in which the ceremony is being held to understand the ceremony, then the services of an interpreter must be provided. It is your responsibility to provide the services.

Dewitt Wells may be North Carolina's only 89-year-old groupie. And even if he's not, he's almost certainly the only groupie to have participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
Wells, who lives in Winston-Salem, was a soldier in the pugnacious 90th Infantry Division, a unit known for its hard-earned nickname "Tough 'Ombres." He waded past the dead bodies of fellow American soldiers as he approached Utah Beach, and his feet nearly froze in the brutal cold. The numerous war medals he earned include the distinguished Bronze Star.
All of that was nearly 70 years ago, though, when Wells was a very young man. Today, in his twilight years — with the number of World War II veterans continuing to dwindle quickly — Wells admits to being a little sentimental about his Army days. That's how he became a groupie enamored with Letters From Home, an Andrews Sisters tribute act that performs primarily the songs made famous by the legendary wartime trio of sisters LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty Andrews. He figures he's seen Letters From Home perform nearly a dozen times since the trio's beginnings three years ago.
"He's our biggest fan," acknowledges Erinn Diaz of Winston-Salem, who organized the group in 2010. "We just love him."
The truth is, Diaz and her two sisters in harmony — Serah Haley of Winston-Salem and Chelsea de la Cuadra of Durham — love all U.S. military veterans, but the music they perform particularly resonates with veterans from the World War II era.
During a show at Greensboro's Barn Dinner Theatre, veterans in their 80s and 90s clapped their hands, tapped their feet, and sang along as the trio performed such Andrews Sisters classics as "Pistol Packin' Mama," "Near You," "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)," and the sisters' signature hit, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." The trio's stirring, a cappella rendition of "God Bless America" brought a frail veteran in the audience slowly to his feet, setting the precedent for the entire audience to stand and sing along; as the song ended, he wiped a tear from his eye with his left hand and saluted the young women with his right.
"It's been incredible to see," Diaz says. "These World War II veterans are not remembering things as well as they used to, but when we sing their music, they're transported back in time, and they're 20 years old again. They'll come up to us after the show and say, 'Oh, the memories that music brings back — thank you so much!' Some of them have lost their spouses, and they'll talk about the memories it brings back. It's really special."
That's what happens to Wells every time he goes to a Letters From Home performance — memories overwhelm him, particularly when the women sing "Sentimental Journey."
"That was our song," he says softly, referring to his late wife, Joyce, to whom he was married for 63 years before her death in 2011. "The song was played at a USO dance, and we just claimed it as our song. Every time she heard it, she wanted to get up and dance. I can't even sing it now — I just cry when I hear it."
Diaz remembers how the trio's music affected another World War II veteran during a performance at the Charles George VA Medical Center in Asheville.
"We had finished the show, and we were walking past this veteran in a wheelchair," she recalls. "He stood up to give us a hug. We didn't know it at the time, but we learned later that it was the first time he had stood up by himself in over three years."
When they returned for a Christmas show eight months later, they saw him walking down the hall with his walker.
"Music has a way of stirring those deep, deep memories in a way that a lot of other things can't. It just shows you how very powerful music can be," Diaz says.
Diaz created Letters From Home at the urging of her father, Pat Dearth of Winston-Salem, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran who also happens to be a huge fan of the Andrews Sisters. The trio are all in their late 20s, which is roughly the same age as the popular sisters were in their heyday, and they've studied films from the 1930s and '40s to get a sense of how the Andrews Sisters performed. While they consider themselves more of a tribute act than impersonators, they do a great job of capturing the tight three-part harmonies, the lively tap dancing, the playful audience interaction, and the humor the sisters were known for when they entertained troops.
Letters From Home started out performing at mostly retirement facilities, private parties, corporate events, and the like for the first year or so, Diaz says. "Our first bigger gig was the National VFW Convention in 2011 in San Antonio. It was wonderful exposure, and we got to meet so many veterans from all over the country."
Since then, they've been in demand at venues across the United States: theaters, air shows, parades, VA hospitals — even an Alaskan cruise. Media outlets have made a fuss over them. They've even recorded a couple of CDs.
The attention has been a bit intoxicating, the three women admit, but they're quick to deflect it.
"We never expected what we were doing to reach so many people," Haley says. "It's just been an amazing adventure honoring these veterans. My grandfather [the late John Vance of Kernersville] served in World War II, and he would've loved this. When we're performing, I see him in so many faces, so I want to do the best I can to honor him."
De la Cuadra agrees that Letters From Home is not so much about the performers as the people they're performing for.
"It's such an inspiration to be around these servicemen," she says. "We'll sing the official songs of the various armed forces, and they just stand right up like they're 20 years old again. Sometimes they have tears in their eyes when they come up to meet us after the show, telling us about their memories. It's just very special when these strangers all of a sudden feel like they know you."
And, in a sense, they do.
To See
Letters from Home will bring their show to The Barn Dinner Theatre in Greensboro for a November 11 Veterans Day performance. For details, visit andrewssisterstribute.com.
Jimmy Tomlin lives in Greensboro and is an award-winning writer for the High Point Enterprise. Tomlin may not be a Letters From Home groupie — yet — but after seeing the trio perform, he's grateful for the joy the group brings to veterans. His most recent story for Our State was "Reggie's Flower Shoppe" (August 2013).

Austin's "black problem" is a class problem
It's no longer classified information that Austin might have a black problem.
Of the country's fastest-growing large cities, it's the only one that's losing black residents. I'm not the first one to write about why that might be. I've called Austin home for six years, but I too am strongly considering packing up and heading elsewhere.
After wrestling with the notion of Austin being generally inhospitable to blacks, however, I realized that much of my distress over the city's shortcomings is rooted not in race but in the dissipation of a working class.
Elitism is Austin's new normal.
My misplaced frustration was brought home in a metaphorical slap upside the head from a treasured friend, Anita Price James, whose father, the late Al Price, was a civil rights activist and the first African-American from Southeast Texas to represent the Beaumont area in the Texas House.
When I told her I was probably joining the Austin exodus and heading east to New Orleans because of my frustrations about race, she took me to task. Race-based concerns about Austin don't hold water, she insisted.
"If simmering race-based hostility were to blame, Boston would be whiter," she said. "If long-standing distrust of police were the issue, New York would be seeing the black exodus that Austin is trying to understand."
My energy and frustration, she continued, ought to be directed at an educational system that doesn't prepare native Texans for the best jobs the "Texas miracle" has created. I ought to instead focus on the companies bringing high-tech jobs here only to encounter an educational workforce unprepared to vie for them. For the most part, she added, successful black people in Austin aren't from Austin — primarily because unlike Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, New York or Los Angeles, Austin has never had enough black people to support a broad-based economic infrastructure or to provide the comforting near-ubiquity that black people can find in those cities.
Virtually forgotten are the efforts of good people — black and white — to preserve neighborhoods like Clarksville, which at one point was home to Austin's largest concentration of blacks descended from slaves. Although registered as a national historic district, gentrification, land speculation and skyrocketing taxes have decimated the racial and socioeconomic diversity the neighborhood boasted even two decades ago. Its minority heritage is now merely a bit of little-known trivia.
My friend Toni Tipton-Martin, a culinary historian and longtime Austinite, has struggled mightily with the foundation she launched several years ago. Designed to promote good nutrition while preserving traditional foodways, she is also determined to have the foundation occupy physical space in East Austin's cultural heritage district. She's also struggling to not be discouraged.
Not too long ago, while discussing my probable New Orleans move with her, we also talked about the possibility of creating a project in Austin based on a highly successful New Orleans nonprofit designed to prepare underserved youth to work in the hospitality business.
We figured that if a version could be replicated in Austin, it would be a certifiable asset to the community. It could create jobs. With support from Austin's business and restaurant community, it could work — if only buildings to house Austin's reinterpretation weren't being bought up, torn down or otherwise assigned new meaning as restaurants or shops. How do you preserve the institutional integrity of a community if the physical attributes that made that community possible disappear?
We've put our idea on hold, and Toni is now considering relocating her foundation to the suburb of Pflugerville, whose minority population has grown significantly in recent years.
The more I think about it, the more I see part of the new civil rights battle in Austin being waged over land, property and stratospheric rents. Despite the best efforts of groups like Foundation Communities and Habitat for Humanity, I've come to see class as the unaddressed bugaboo of urban life: If you can afford to live here, you're cool, and skin color is almost irrelevant.
East Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and 11th streets have morphed into an east-of-the-interstate hub of coolness that has priced out long-time residents, many of whom happen to be black. The city's own statistics say that while African-Americans made up roughly 15 percent of Austin's population a few decades ago, the city's black population could drop to 5 percent if trends continue.
In New Orleans, the complexities of urban life — one still grappling with post-Katrina recovery — are still steeped in French, Spanish, British and African cultural traditions. Austin, meanwhile, is rooted in politics, music and being a cool place to live.
New Orleans has its problems, for sure. But it's earthy, funky and so genuinely weird that it thinks it's normal.
That's how I used to feel about Austin.

Robotic technology is advancing to the point where it will soon be feasible to deploy massive populations, or swarms, of low-cost autonomous robots to collectively perform tasks over large domains and time scales. Many of these tasks will require the robots to allocate themselves around the boundaries of regions or features of interest and achieve target objectives that derive from their resulting spatial configurations, such as forming a connected communication network or acquiring sensor data around the entire boundary. We refer to this spatial allocation problem as boundary coverage. Possible swarm tasks that will involve boundary coverage include cooperative load …

Why Magog? - Keith Giffen on the New Series
from Magog #1, art by Howard PorterSimilar to how the writer breathed life into a new Blue Beetle, Keith Giffen will be bringing the new character Magog to readers in a new ongoing series starting in September.
With Howard Porter on pencils, Magog #1 will launch a series focusing on Lance Corporal David Reid, a former American soldier who was given mystic powers to save his life after being injured. Along with the new Magog, Giffen plans to round out the comic with a new group of supporting cast members and villains for the character.
It all fits with Giffen's mission to establish new characters in the DCU, an effort the writer emphasized when Newsarama recently talked to him about his new Doom Patrol series that starts in August. Giffen said he intends to infuse the DC Universe with new characters and concepts on "everything I touch from now on."
"I think that's critical in comics right now," he said. "The old communal well has been plundered to the point of depletion. Time to restock it."
Although Magog first showed up in the '90s mini-series Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, that villain's origin story was never told. And once the Kingdom Come universe was confirmed as an alternate Earth in the DCU -- specifically "Earth-22" -- a new, young Magog character was introduced to the mainstream DC Universe by writer Geoff Johns within the Justice Society of America title. His transformation into Magog occurred during the "Thy Kingdom Come" story arc co-plotted by Ross.
Newsarama talked to Giffen about his plans for Magog, why he compares the new character to Thor, and what readers can expect from the series launch.
Newsarama: I think the first question on most people's mind, Keith, is: "Why Magog?"
Keith Giffen: I guess they wanted to see if Magog had legs. I'll be honest with you, when they first called me up and said, "Do you want to take a crack at Magog?," I had no idea what I was going to do here. I mean, the character was not among my top 10. Doom Patrol was something I was begging to do for a long time. But I thought, hey, that just means it could be an interesting challenge.
Then I actually sat down and started reading it and getting into this guy's head. And I found his voice. Now I love the book. I love the book and I love the character. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
NRAMA: You said it's not on your top 10, but honestly, Magog probably isn't even on people's top 40 list. So what is it that you saw in this character that moved him up your list and might make readers enjoy stories about him as well?
from Magog #1, art by Howard PorterKG: Like most comic fans, I had limited access to the character. I knew his role in Kingdom Come and the Gog story that Geoff told. But what struck me was that, underlying all the glitz and the armor and all, this guy is still a soldier. He's David Reid, lance corporal. So I thought about how I could apply a real hardcore military mindset to a superhero and get into his head. Most, if not all, of the captions in the book are Magog's narration, so you can really get into his head. And dealing with a hero whose moral parameters are much wider than, say, Superman's kind of became fun. It's nice to play around with a hero who's more protagonist than most heroes, maybe even antagonist. And he's willing to do what needs to be done to get the job done. He's not exactly Jack Bauer, and he doesn't have that faux toughness that comes with Wolverine, but he's definitely somebody who gets things done in his own unique and sometimes incredibly violent way. And I've been having a ball. I love this character. And honestly? No one is more surprised than I.
NRAMA: Is Magog still part of the Justice Society?
KG: Yeah, he still is a member of the Justice Society. I was told to keep in mind that he's still part of that team, but that I don't have to keep cross-referencing all the time. I get to tell Magog stories. The same rules apply as in Doom Patrol. Aside from the occasional Justice Society appearance, when it comes to villains and circumstances... new, new, new. I am not opening the DC Encyclopedia.
NRAMA: Are you exploring the character's origins? We don't really know a lot about him.
KG: Of course. When you pick up this book, it will give you everything you need to know about the character, obviously. But there are still mysteries that even he doesn't completely understand about his powers. And that will be part of the story.
I've been looking into the mythic meanings of "Magog" and I found out that every single one from different cultures is completely different. So it's great because I get to cherry pick. I get to do what Stan Lee did with Thor. He was from Norse mythology, but they got to kind of cherry pick. So I've been doing the same kind of thing. And I've been really enjoying working on this book and rounding out this character and his cast.
And when you get an artist like Howard Porter on the book, that's just icing on the cake. That guy's on fire. He more than recovered. It's gorgeous, gorgeous work. With Matt Clark on Doom Patrol and now Howard on Magog, I'm in a real good place.
NRAMA: In Justice Society, David Reid came out of a real world story because he was actually an active soldier in Iraq. Will this series reference current events in the same way?
KG: We'll reference that origin. Out of all the different suggestions for who Magog is and where he came from, I favor the one that Geoff introduced in Justice Society. He was Lance Corporal David Reid and had that thing on his arm and was approached by the Justice Society to become a member. I'm launching from that part.
But yes, there will be contemporary events. In fact, he winds up in the Sudan in the first issue. But I'm not going to turn it into a comic book that traffics in relevancy. It's not Green Lantern and Green Arrow with all kinds of wink wink nudge nudge socially relevant stories. And he's not a big, "I'm the best at what I do" type like Wolverine. But it's about a soldier in the modern DCU.
It's about someone who brings a totally different mindset to being a superhero. And he will be learning what it means to be Magog, and the baggage that comes with being Magog. And he's also gradually learning what his powers can do. That armor didn't come with an instruction booklet.
NRAMA: It sounds like it's a little similar to Blue Beetle in that way, although clearly this hero isn't a clueless kid and has very different ideas about how to get his job done.
KG: Well, Blue Beetle was much lighter. I actually look at Magog the way Stan Lee and Jack Kirby developed Thor. Don Blake finds the hammer, turns into Thor and as he's learning his capabilities, he finds out, oh wait, I have a father? Oh wait a minute, there's this whole world out there called Asgard? So it's that type of development. It's not groping around like Blue Beetle was. It was a kind of light-hearted groping around. As David becomes more comfortable being Magog, it's more that he's managing the learning curve. Blue Beetle never really managed the learning curve. Magog is a soldier who says, "I'm capable of doing this. And maybe I'll test to see if I'm capable of doing this other thing. And if that doesn't work, OK, I'll move on and see if this one works."
And also, I've given him a whole supporting cast. I'm treating Magog as if, yes, he's a member of the JSA, but this is a stand-along Magog book. He's not a soldier anymore, so he's Magog now, and that's all he's ever going to be. He became Magog by way of Gog. And that's irreversible. I know that Stan and Jack turned around the whole Thor thing where Don Blake was Thor all along. But I kind of like the idea of a guy who has no idea there's a legacy headed his way, and it's going to be a whopper.
NRAMA: Since the character, in most people's minds, is so connected to Kingdom Come, is that potential future for this character referenced at all?
KG: I tried to take the same approach on Magog as I took on Legion of Super-Heroes, wherein I sort of pretended the adult Legion wasn't there, so I'm saying with Magog that I know eventually he might participate in certain events, but.... Mike Carlin put it best when he said, "If Kingdom Come is going to happen, then what we are doing is showing the early days and showing how he became that character." It's almost like doing a mini-series showing the early days of the Comedian. You know where he's headed, but how did he get there?
NRAMA: And is this definitely an ongoing?
KG: Well, that's up the readers, isn't it? To me, it's an ongoing. If people buy the book and support the book, it runs its course as long as it can.
NRAMA: OK, Keith, after all this conversation, I understand that you want to bring this new character to readers and establish his supporting cast and these new villains. But I'm not sure I understand the premise or set-up of the comic. Is there a tagline you're using to describe this comic? Or is the premise part of the story and can't be revealed?
KG: My tagline for the series would be, Magog: Be glad he's on our side. Honestly, I really am having a ball with this book. I really thought the issue would be a grind and I would think, "Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?" But I ended up enjoying this a lot more than I would have expected and I think we've created something that, at least I hope, readers are going to really like.
NRAMA: You say "be glad he's on our side," so does that mean this is a darker comic? You're so good with humor that I guess I imagined this would lean that way.
KG: I wouldn't say dark, no. And yeah, there's always going to be humor in what I do. I can't walk away from humor. But it's not a book that's driven by humor. If there's humor, it would just be in the interaction between Magog and his supporting cast.
NRAMA: Is there anything you can tell us about the supporting cast?
KG: Fans of Larry the Cable Guy will not be displeased. Other than that, if you want to know more, come on in and give it a read. I don't want to give away too much because it never hurts to be surprised.
NRAMA: You dropped a hint that you're creating new villains. Can you tell us anything about them?
KG: The first story arc involves an organization that is, while not being DC's version of Hydra, it comes close. That the good thing about Magog. I can deal with global threats like the one this organization poses, but I can also deal with smaller threats, like the character who shows up in issue #2 which is an inner-city story. I can take this character almost anywhere. I don't want to blow who the characters are. I think part of the appeal of a new book that is going to traffic in new villains and new characters is discovering them as they come along.

The ambitious Pacific Coast Spirits brings urban distilling to Oceanside
Grape vodka, heirloom corn bourbon, and a plan to malt its own barley
Ian Anderson 3 p.m., Dec. 12
If you were around the local music scene during the mid to late '90s (think B-Side Players, Greyboy Allstars, Price of Dope), then I'm sure you caught the funkified rhythms of Wise Monkey Orchestra. Shifting venues from the old days, the band played to a sparse but enthusiastic crowd at Longboard's Grille in P.B.
Wise Monkey has rotated sax and guitar players but has held on to the core group of Ali on vocals, Chad on bass, and Andy on trombone. The mixture of Ali's sultry vocals and the propulsive rhythm section, with the horns riffing over the top, makes for an intoxicating aural experience.
The Wise Monkeys played a heavy dose of old favorites, such as "Make Believe" and "Waitress Song" but couldn't be coerced into Sabbath's "Fairies Wear Boots" for an old-school encore.
Coming down off of the buzz from the funky brew that was served, I wistfully recalled the days when on any given weekend one could sample an original set of acid jazz, funk, and Latin-tinged tunes at a variety of coastal venues.

iReadyGo Firmware updates
This article is only a note about this firmware release.
Existe una versión en español de este artículo aquí.
iReadyGo Much i5 Update 5.6.28
As few users inform to me, after updated with this new firmware release, they get their devices bricked, and can´t flash older firmwares for recover.
I suggest to wait for more info about this issue, and DO NOT INSTALL THIS for now.
The firmware don´t have any interesting feature or fix. The 60Hz fix is not working properly (i tested the beta and you can see some of my test on my youtube channel), and there is no other interesting and/or useful stuff that deserves the risk of installing this update with their potential problem of get bricked your device.
iReadyGo Much G2 Update 5.6.28
I don´t see any news on this update, except the screen refresh rate, than now is running at ~53.29Hz
If you´re waiting for real news/fix/features, you must keep waiting.

I've been keeping an eye out lately for games that are fairly inexpensive, fun and have a re-playability. It's one thing to drop $40 on a new board game now and again, but it's a habit that can grow extremely expensive very fast. As a way to archive these for myself and share these ideas with you, I present to you 25 games that are available for under $20. Mostly.
Another advantage to these is that they tend to be smaller, making them easier to store and lug around. By way of disclosure, these are all through amazon, and yes I get a small percentage of any sales. This goes directly in to keeping this site alive. Another trick, Amazon has free shipping for orders of $25 or more, but with Amazon prime, it's free 2nd day shipping on many of these.
Games that have red prices cost over $20. Games that are green are personal favorites. Click the images to go directly to Amazon.
Now, in no particular order, 25 games costing mostly under $20.
Slide 5 – $7.09
Based on the European card game sensation 6 Nimmt, Slide 5 is a quick-to-learn card game of luck and strategy. Players arrange their cards on the playing surface building "hills." Once a hill gets 5 cards high, the 6th card will cause an "avalanche" and that player must take all of the cards in that row, leaving the sixth card to start a new hill. With all the players revealing the cards they wish to play at the same time, there's always unpredictable fun and dilemma at every turn! For 2-10 players. Slide 5 is easy to learn and instantly addictive! Age: 8 + Manufacturer: Endless Games
Archaeology – The Card Game – $10.25

Mr. Jack (Pocket Edition) – $14.22
This time he won't get away! Discover the pocket version of Mr. Jack the favorite investigation game of strategy game players! As in the board version a player takes on the role of the inspector trying to unmask Jack the Ripper while the other player takes on the role of the fleeing criminal. The difference is in the game mechanics: the infernal pursuit now takes place on a board that's 3 squares to a side each square representing both a London street and one of the nine suspects. around the board are placed a Holmes a Watson and a police dog token. On each turn the first player (the inspector or Jack in turn) uses 4 action tokens which allow to move the investigator tokens to reorient the tiles or to draw a "suspect card". A suspect is visible only if the investigator can see that suspect in the streets in front of him. Suspects hidden by buildings are invisible. At the end of each turn the player in the role of Jack must say if the guilty character is visible or not. If that character isn't visible Jack earns an hourglass. If the Jack player can earn 6 hourglasses that player wins the game (knowing that hourglasses are earned by remaining invisible and by drawing "suspect" cards).

No Thanks – $8.94
Good card games can be so simple: either take a card or pay a chip. Anyone can make that decision, right? However, there's a catch – in fact there are two. Nobody wants the cards, not even for free, because they give you points in a game where you need to have the fewest points to win. And the chips? They are scarce, very scarce.
Skip Bo – $7.93
A member of Mattel's popular family of Uno card games, Skip-Bo resembles speed (or spit) in the same way that Uno takes after crazy eights. Out of a 162-card deck, two to six players are each dealt 20-card "stockpiles"; the first one to deplete their pile wins. Competing either alone or in teams, players draw from a central pile and stack their cards sequentially onto one of four "build" piles (for example, an eight onto a seven, a three onto a two), using plentiful Skip-Bo wild cards to break up static situations. Deceptively simple and ingeniously designed, this classic game offers plenty of strategizing opportunities, or it can just make a nice backdrop to socializing and munching on potato chips.
Haggis – $14.99 (non-edible)
Haggis is a climbing card game for 2 or 3 players in the same family as Tichu, Zheng Fen and Big Two. Haggis features traditional elements of card combinations, bombs, with scoring for cards in hand and scoring for cards collected in tricks. Innovative wild cards create tension in every hand. Sean Ross designed Haggis over a number of years, extensively testing over thousands of hands to create a very engaging and balanced game. Gary Simpson has done a masterful job on the original artwork, that has to be seen to be appreciated.
Onirim – $7.75
Onirim is a solo/cooperative card game: you (and a partner) must work (together) against the game, and gather the 8 Door cards before the deck runs out; you can obtain those Door cards either by playing cards of the same color three turns in a row, or by discarding -under specific circumstances- one of your powerful Key cards. In both cases you will have to decide the best use of each card in your hand, and carefully play around the Nightmares. Those cards are hidden in the deck and will trigger painful dilemmas when drawn…
Citadels – $19.66
Nominated for the German Game of the Year in 2000, Citadels has finally arrived in an English-language edition. Game enthusiasts of all genres will be enchanted by this wonderful game of bluffing, deduction, and city-building. Wrapped in a medieval theme and gorgeously illustrated, players seek to be the first to complete a grand city of their own. Each game round players secretly take the roles of either the King, Magician, Architect, Assassin, Thief, Bishop, General, or Merchant and seek to use the powers of such offices in their efforts to win the game. As an additional bonus, the English version will ship with 10 new cards designed by Bruno Faidutti himself. These cards feature new locations and new characters to make your game of Citadels even more diverse than the original German version. The game is for 2 to 7 players and it takes 20-60 minutes to play.

Lunch Money – $19.01
This card games simulates being little girls running around the playground beating up each other and stealing their lunch money. Once you get past the strange theme, there's a fun little game where players beat each other senseless with cards like 'Poke in the Eye', 'Uppercut', and 'Humiliation.' Not for the weak willed, this game is mean. The last player still standing wins.
Fluxx 4.0 – $12.69

You'll play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to cheer your opponents' characters with marriages and other happy occasions that pile on positive points.

During the game, the partners try to help each other score points and opportunities to lead. The game is played over several hands with the goal to be the first team to score a total of 1000 points. Although Tichu is primarily a partnership game for four, with the two packs of cards, Tichu is well suited for large groups, too.
Forbidden Island – $13.07

Race to collect the treasures and make a triumphant escape before you are swallowed into the watery abyss.
Guillotine – $10.99
This irreverent and humorous card game takes place during the French Revolution. Players represent rival guillotine operators vying for the best collection of noble heads over three rounds. You want top bragging rights, so you'd better collect the most prestigious noggins. Will you be skillful enough to bribe the guards and collect Marie Antoinette? Or will you lose points for beheading the Hero of the People.
Saboteur – $14.95
You and your Dwarven brethren dig for gold in the depths of a mine. Suddenly, a pick-axe breaks and the light from the lantern goes out. The saboteur has struck again – but which of your fellow players is a saboteur? Discover the traitor in your midst while questing for gold in this path-laying card game for 3-10 suspicious dwarves.
There you have it folks! I hope you enjoy these and have a chance to bulk up your collection for (going to the obvious dwarven delver joke) short money.

Lipstick And Lip Liner Tip
A. Do Liner First
Lip liner is optional but if you use it, it should go on first. Don't use liner darker than your lipstick, because if the lipstick fades and the liner doesn't, you're left with just an outline. Use neutral or lipstick-matched liner.
Starting at the center of your upper lip, draw a line to each outer corner, following the edge of your natural lip line.
Fill in color all over lips if you want extra holding power for your lipstick.
*Hint: Chill lip pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes to make sharpening easier.
B. Lipstick
A dusting of powder or bit of foundation beneath lipstick can maximize its staying power. Either can dry lips, though, so use a creamy formula lipstick.
Stretch your lips and starting at the center of top or bottom, glide color to corners. Blot, reapply and blot again for longer-lasting color.
*Hint: A lip brush gives you the most precision in applying lipstick.

Welcome To Guyana & A Wet Wet Christmas In The Caribbean
December 2008
Guyana the last link in a circum-Caribbean semi-circle of British intrigue that starts in Jamaica and the Cayman islands… largest of the lot… probably the poorest also… perfect picture of a colonial capital going down on itself… anything but Jonestown: thirty years ago some nine hundred US citizens committed mass suicide in Guyana under the influence of a bad Elvis impersonator.
Imagine a bus terminal and a market sharing the same space, accompanied by the sounds of barkers barking and horns honking… accents pretty thick here too. You could almost imagine you're speaking Creole. You almost are.
I check out the zoo by accident, but the market's the real zoo. I walk long distances as is my habit, making notes of cultural anomalies. ATM's are all the rage, lines stretching around corners… various types of food, similar to Trinidad's, but coffee's non-existent.
Two days of that and I push on, straight across the new Berbice River Bridge at New Amsterdam on its first day open for business… big news, the ribbon-cutting and all… expect some concrete engineering marvel along the wild northern coast of South America, BUT: damn thing's made of aluminum, bolted together like a child's erector set, probably bought from US army surplus, riding about five feet above the water's surface. I hope it's low tide. It took 'em two years to complete; the US Army could've assembled it and been killing people on the other side in less than two months, if not two weeks. They seem proud of it, so I suppress all laughter and sarcastic comments. I wonder if it'll hold until my return…
…stuck at the border with Suriname—Corriverton, Guyana—on Christmas Eve… place is hopping… don't decorate silly trees here; they party… little carnival midway set up on the main drag through town, disco speakers stacked all up and down the sidewalk blasting away at ear-splitting decibel levels… liquor or beer— choose your weapon.
Borders are the weirdest places in the world; just look at TJ… run right through a lonely place in your mind. All the world's fumbling schemers are here, the Indians the Chinese the Muslims and me. I guess I'm home for Christmas. I don't mind the rain.

Blessed Are the Peacemaker
The followers of Jesus have been called to peace. When he called them they found their peace, for he is their peace. But now they are told that they must not only have peace but make it. And to that end they renounce all violence and tumult. Now, PEACEMAKING is a divine work. For peace means reconciliation; and God is the author of peace and of reconciliation. … It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the particular blessing which attaches to peacemakers is that "they shall be called sons of God." For they are seeking to do what their Father has done, loving people with his love. 1.1Who are the Peace Makers
Being a peacemaker is part of being surrendered to God, for God brings peace. We abandon the effort to get our needs met through the destruction of enemies. God comes to us in Christ to make peace with us; and we participate in God's grace as we go to our enemies to make peace. For no one has ever been converted by violence. Making peace makes us God's children—and kin to each other. According to Michael H. Crosby, in his work 'Spirituality of the Beatitudes'. The peace intended is not merely that of political and economic stability, as in the Greco-Roman world, but peace in the Old Testament inclusive sense of wholeness, all that constitutes well-being. … The "peacemakers," therefore, are not simply those who bring peace between two conflicting parties, but those actively at work making peace, bringing about wholeness and well-being among the alienated. However, they play a vital role by their impact by creating peace where violence has taken control. It is important to note that peacemakers are honoured insofar as they speak about peace as something already victoriously won that we can celebrate as part of our glorious past or as something that will be won in the other world. They continue to be dishonoured insofar as they continue to point out injustice, hypocrisy, and suffering. They are noble when their actions bring to light, problems far away from us; they are an odious nuisance when they point out our own sins. We are called peacemakers as Christians by our ways of life. However, in our reflection, it's interesting to point out that, none of those theologians seem to give much thought to how one deal with evil. Are we supposed to give in and allow violent, evil people to make slaves of us all? That would be the result of peace making at any cost. Hitler and his people would be ruling the world today, people would be evaluated according to their mental and physical abilities and those who are for whatever reason unable to participate and contribute would end up in concentration camps. Muslim extremists are not all that different; a good example is the recent religious crisis in Jos Plateau state. Perhaps Mr. Bush and his people were wrong for starting the war and as he himself has said, we might never know the answer but evil and injustice must be fought against with every thing we have. Jesus commanded us to do good and that includes putting down evil action. As long as there are violent self-serving leaders in charge of underdeveloped countries there is nothing we can do. The poor will ever benefit from our charity. 1.2The Cry of the Beatitudes: Get a New Heart
One after the other the beatitudes tell us that the blessings of eternity will be given only to those who have become new creatures. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. If we don't obtain mercy, we receive judgment. If we don't see God, we are not in heaven. If we aren't called the sons of God, we are outside the family. In other words these are all descriptions of final salvation. And it is promised only to the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers. Therefore the beatitudes are like long spikes holding down the lid of the coffin on the false teaching...

Sightseeing | Excursions
AchalGarh, sometimes spelt Achalgadh, is one of the many beautiful medieval monuments that can be found in the picturesque Mount Abu, located in the desert in the state of Rajasthan, India. It was commissioned by Rana Kumbha, the esteemed designer who was responsible for many huge fortresses in Southern Rajasthan. Achalgarh is just 8 Kilometers from the main Mount Abu town and is well connected by road.
The fortress AchalGarh is surrounded by massive battlement walls. It is situated at the top of a mountain peak and offers picturesque views all year round. AchalGarh is found at the top of a steep winding path, whereby the 15th century fortresses and the temples are enclosed within the fortified walls. These fortified walls provide scenic lookouts onto the countryside.
A 10 minute climb from AchalGarh brings you to the beautiful and historic Jain Temples. These temples are a must visit for more great views and the beautiful sculpture.
Another must visit temple can be found below the path. The Achleshwar temple is famous for containing a Nandi which is said to be made of 5 metals, fold, silver, copper, brass and zinc. The Nandi is made up of Panchadhattu and weighs more than 4 tonnes.
It is believed that the Achleshwar temple was built in the 9th century and legend has it that it was built around a toe print of Lord Shiva. There is also a pit that is said to reach to the netherworld. Achleshwar also contains a natural Shivalinga. (A Shivalinga is phallus-shaped and fixed on a base, which is shaped like a yoni. The structure symbolises the supreme creative energy. It is usually made of stone but can also be of wood, metal, crystal, and soapstone.) There are also many other sculpted idols which are made of a crystal like stone. In natural light, this stone looks opaque, but if you place a candle behind the idols they take on a beautiful crystal-like sparkle, the stone is called the crystal stone or sfatik in hindi. nearby the temple, we find the scenic looking Mandakini Lake. This lake is surrounded by rocky hills, and rock walls covered with images of a Rajput king and buffaloes. These pictures are said to represent the legend that says the lake was filled with ghee and the watering hole of demons disguised as buffaloes. This was until they were shot by Raja Adi Pal.
Situated in a cave, The Adhar Devi Temple is one of the popular religious themed tourist destinations in the Mount Abu region. It is situated three kilometers north of the main town of Mount Abu. The Adhar Devi Temple is reached by climbing up 365 stairs carved into the mountain. The temple itself is located inside a rocky cleave and is reached by crawling through a small opening into the cave.
The Adhar Devi Temple is dedicated to the Goddess Durga. It got its name because the legend has it that "Adhar" of the Mataji (Goddess deity) fell here also it was believed that the image of the goddess could be found there hanging in mid air. As well as being a popular tourist destination, the Adhar Devi Temple is also a common destination for many religion pilgrimages The Adhar Devi temple receives most pilgrims during the 9 days of the holy Navratri season.
The Adhar Devi temple contains many beautiful statues, and those that make the effort to climb the stairs are rewarded with many picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The climb up to the Adhar Devi temple can be a difficult one so it is recommended that you wear appropriate clothing and footwear. You should not be turned off by this walk as the scenic views surrounding the temple and the wondrous beauty inside make this climb worth the effort.
The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the oldest parts of the Mount Abu mountain ranges. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is home to many sightseeing points offering fantastic views. Many people visit the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary just for the sightseeing and views, but most visit The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary for the animals and birds. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is about 7 kilometres long and only 300 metres wide. This means that while you take the long walk down The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary you won't miss much on either side.
The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is located in one of the regions oldest mountain ranges- The Aravali. The area was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1960. In addition to the sightseeing opportunities, the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is a popular destination for eco-tourism. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary crosses a variety of mountain highs, from 300m to 1722m at Gurashikhar- the highest peak in the Aravali Ranges.
The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is full of floral beauty. There is an evergreen forest that meets the water and the valleys on the other side. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary houses around 112 plant families with 449 genera and 820 species. Many of these species are dicots and the rest are monocots. You can also find many orchids at the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary. Don't forget the many roses and bamboo rich areas.
The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Aravali Ranges- one of the Rajasthan Regions oldest mountain ranges. It was declared a sanctuary in 1960.

About Latino Elders
Hi! My name is Judi Bonilla, a gerontologist with an eye on American culture. I truly believe in the dream of my parents. A better life for their daughters. I also recognize the American disconnect. Who we say we are. Who we truly are. This blog is about who we really are.
With that in mind, Maya Angelou's words ring true, "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better." As a country, we can do better. We can be the aspirational dream of our ancestors.
Our Mission
Latino Elders is part of the mission to do better. We are here to raise the profile of Latino Boomers. I'm excited to start a platform and add the voices of Latinos aging in America. If you are eager to raise our profile in business, media, and culture connect with me.
When I'm not working on this project I'm focused on developing solutions to bring lifelong learning and senior transportation to elders in San Diego.

And [Jesus] began to teach [the disciples] that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
Mark 8:31-32
The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are the central events of our Christian faith. Without the resurrection, Jesus would be one more Jewish revolutionary who was put to death on a cross by the Roman Empire. Instead his death and resurrection became a cornerstone event in a worldwide movement that has continued to grow for two thousand years.
So what do we as Christians believe and understand about his death and resurrection? Many thousands (if not millions) of books, articles, blogs and sermons have been written about the cross, and yet my observation is that for many Christians their understanding is often articulated along the lines of "Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins." Or perhaps some will say, "Jesus died so that I could have eternal life." Additionally, some Christians, depending on their church stream, might say, "by his stripes we are healed."
Is there anything wrong with these statements?
Or is there more to the cross and resurrection that we might understand?
In this short series of posts in the lead up to Easter, I invite you to meditate on what the Scriptures tell us about the cross and resurrection. I pray that they will invite you to press in a little deeper to rediscover the wonder of the cross and the significance of the resurrection for us today. My goal is not to offer a 'new' or novel perspective, but rather to encourage us to engage afresh with the Scriptural witness that testifies to this history shaping moment.
Questions for Reflection:
1) When you see a symbol of the cross in a church or as a piece of jewelry; on a T-shirt; as a tattoo; or maybe on a monument, what response does it provoke in you?
2) Did the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus featured in the gospel messages you have heard lead you to follow Jesus? If so, how did it impact you?
