In this post we reach the end of the beginning with our journey into the Way of the Warrior-Saint.
This course, and these posts, have been an investigation into five foundational 'inner ethics' that form a code of ethics for the aspiring yogi. All can be found in the yoga sutras of Patanjali. These ways of being form the basis of the Yoga White end of class blessing, which is as follows:
- I am pure in thought, word deed (Śauca)
- I am patient, I dwell in the moment (Santoṣa)
- I am self-controlled; I act and do not react (Tapas)
- I am self-disciplined (Svādhyāya)
- I am devoted; I see Oneness in all that I am and all that I do. (Īśvarapraṇidhāna)
6. 'And I love without condition'.
Unconditional Love
Unconditional love is a fairly easy concept to grasp: to love without expectation; without need of outcome; for the sake of love itself; to love all equally and with no terms and conditions attached.
But the reality? Phew!
When I begin thinking of 'loving without condition' I hit a brick wall. Much like my exploration of self-discipline, self-enquiry into unconditional love seems to bring up in me a log of all the times I have failed to love fully. It stirs up ghosts of disastrous relationships, judgements made on others (daily), the billion times when I have acted out of base, selfish need alone, and when I have consistently not helped out my 'neighbour', as Christ might say.
It feels like a top-down catalogue of failure.
But…this week I spent some time creating a summary chart, on paper, as a class handout and that process revealed to me that I have been thinking about the nature of love in the wrong way. In fact, I've been thinking about it upside-down entirely.
The very essence of existence- the Isvara (God/ Unchanging reality/ Source) – is love. This is not some etheric cloud that descends on us from above, as if we were little children desperately trying to pluck fruit from a too-high branch. No! Love is actually the very Ground of Being in which we are planted. Let me explain…
The Ground of Being
It was the theologian Paul Tillich who referred to God as the 'Ground of Being'. It is such a wonderful phrase. God is just a word that means Mystery, right? The Great Mystery is life itself. The fact that you are sitting here, fully conscious, reading this means you are ALIVE. How mystical is that? That aliveness is the most profound conundrum in the universe. How did life come about? And why?
The Buddha told us to stay away from metaphysical questions because there are things we simply cannot know, so don't waste time on speculation. Very wise. But we can still wonder. And life is all about wonder.
Tillich's brilliance is that his phrase 'Ground of Being' flips 'God' out of the sky on some cloud and pulls Him/ Her/ It down to ground level. God is not somewhere out there, nor above us. Look down! The Ground of Being is what we are made from, grown from, rooted in, being nourished by and being upheld by. The Ground of Being flowed in our mothers' wombs, pumps through our hearts, animates us and sparkles through our eyes. The Ground of Being will return us, gently, to the earth when the time is right.
And the Ground of Being is the root of all consciousness: life gives us the gift of being awake. That gift can only be born out of one thing. Pure, raw, unconditional love. It is love that fuels all consciousness: it is a gift freely given. As the ancients say, the sun shines on all alike equally- good & misguided, male and female, rich and poor. That is unconditional love.
Living Love Unconditionally
With this new understanding- that Love is the very element in which we breathe and move- unconditional love does not look so daunting or unachievable. It's not something we need to strive for, or earn. We are immersed in it. I simply need the eyes to see it.
As we work our way 'down' through the levels of the yogic ethics we begin to build a new level of awareness. We begin by purifying body, mind and thought. Why? So we can set the dials to zero (so to speak) and become more balanced, sattvic and neutral. In neutrality we begin to develop patience and an ability to dwell in the moment. When we can live more in the moment, we find a new dimension of ability- to be able to choose to act, and not react. And that takes practice, self-witnessing and self-discipline. As we master these ways of being we no longer feel so buffeted by life's storms of emotion and commotion: in that stiller space we open into a dimension of devotion, where life begins to appear to have pattern, meaning, synchronicity and magic. Witnessing that fuels the devotion further. Devotion is simply a form of surrendering; of trusting that there is a rhythm and intelligence behind this Mystery.
And when we feel that in our lives- I mean really feel it- then we can offer our pain, our suffering and our misery back to the Ground of Being, to be dissolved, to be carried…and then the peace, the harmony and the deepest sense of Love floods in. Love floods into the vacuum where once we carried our rage, our hatred, our grudges, our pain, our stories, and all of that stuff.
And when Love floods in, we feel that we are moving, breathing, speaking and being in an element of sheer blissful Magic and Mystery. Something so profound touches us, and whispers through us, that everyone and every being becomes the face of God herself. And there is nothing left for us to do in that space but love…without condition.
Perhaps Sri Sri Ravi Shankar can say it best:
"Just by surrendering to the Lord, you can achieve the fully blossomed state of consciousness. Now what is the Lord? Where is He? It is easy to say surrender to God, but what is God? Where is God? Nobody has ever seen God. The comes the next question: What is Lordship? What is that which rules this world?
You find that it is love that rules the world. The core of the existence rules this universe. Like the sun is the centre of the solar system and it rules all the planets, the very core of your life is ruled by Love. Beyond your changing body, thoughts, feelings lies the very core of your existence which is very subtle, very delicate. That consciousness, the core of existence is responsible for this whole creation. There lies the Lordship.
A bird feeds its young out of love. A flower blossoms because of love. Ducks hatch eggs out of love. Cows take care of their calves out of love. Have you seen monkeys? How they care for their young ones! Love is in-built in creation. That is why the whole Creation functions. What you call as in-built is the core of consciousness. That's why Jesus said "Love is God and God is Love"."
So, go forth, Warrior-Saints! into the world where much light needs to be shed. Take on your own shadows and welcome them as teachers, an aspect of Guru (the Teacher in all things). Witness to yourself! Write yourself on paper. Laugh at your consistent fuck-ups! But then do something about them.
In summary? Clear out the crap in your heart- with compassion- so that the new comes in. Make space for the Great Mystery to enter in. Call it what you will. It's just waiting for an invite. And It's house-warming gift? Unconditional Love.
Blessings for the way ahead. x

Serious sabotage and damage committed during an inyasion of New Tribal Missions HQ in the UK.
On 11 October more than fifty people took direct action against the New Tribes Mission (NTM) UK Headquarters in Grimsby, in solidarity with resistant indigenous people of the Philippines, West Papua and Bougainvil Ie. NTM have stated that they intend to preach to every tribe on the planet by 2025, such as the Agta of Northern Luzon and tribes in Mindanao.
NTM build airstrips in jungles, have their own planes to ferry first missionaries and then businessmen, CocaCola and the military. First comes Christianity and then corporations. The indigenous people of West Papua have declared missionaries one of their 4 biggest threats: they areas responsible as mining or logging companies for ecological and cultural destruction.
The activists visited NTM wearing West Papuan masks, invaded and occupied the offices. They severely outnumbered the missionaries working there. Essential information and equipment was removed which will prove valuable to research for resistance to NTM. Other people sabotaged and dattnaged essential computer hardware, software and other office equipment; Others argued with workers; Others demonstrated outside or in the village nearby with banners. A timing device was planted in a toilet that later opened a valve on the cold water supply leading to flood damage during Friday night/Saturday morning. All the protestors left the scene without arrest, although missionaries attempted - and failed - to stop people leaving.
Anglesey Aluminium Metals (AAM) at Holyhead, North Wales, was blockaded for six hours by 15 people making novel use of a clapped out minivan and a tripod. The action was in solidarity with the OPM - the Free West Papua Movement. 51% of AAM is owned by the infamous Rio Tinto (RTZ), which has a major interest in the disastrous Grasberg mine in West Papua.
The van, laden with two concrete-filled barrels, was towed in at 8.3Oam before breaking down' outside the main entrance to the plant. Someone stuck their hand through a hole in the side panel and locked onto one of the barrels. The other barrel fell through a hole in the floor of the van. and another person locked on. A long tailback rapidly ensued.
Meanwhile a scaffold tripod was erected at the back entrance to stop anyone slipping out that way. After a couple of hours a previously overgrown third entrance was opened by AAM, allowing light traffic access, but articulated vehicles were prevented from passing for another 3112 hours. The activists received support from AAM workers and local contractors. Workers and redirected traffic were leafleted. Local TV and newspapers covered the blockade. No arrests were made.
The Grasberg mine is one of the largest producers of gold and copper in the world. Indonesia gains 20% royalties from it, providing 47% of West Papua's GDP. The mine has turned the local river system into a poisonous slurry channel. As a result of which hundreds of children have died from copper poisoning, and the river and the trees on its banks are biologically dead. Protests by the local people have been met with severe repression by the Indonesian military, paid for in part by Rio Tinto and supported by their security forces.
The Indonesian Embassy in London was occopied in solidarity with the people of West Papua Occupiers chained themselves torailings in a third floor windowshouting "Papua Merdeka"(Freedom for Papua) to the on-I ookiong crowd. The Indonesianflag was pulled down and thePapuan `Morning Star' flag wasahout to he raised when Indonesianofficials dragged the flag raiser whohad climbed up the side of thehuilding back into the embassyusing unnecessary force.
Another group of activists gathered outside with banners reading "Free West Papua" and "Victory to the OPM". The huildingremained occupied for 3/4 hour whilstthe demonstrators made theirdemands. Enraged staff pushedpeople ahout and eventually thepolice arrived and cut people fromthe railings. Four people werearrested and charged.

Menwith Hill is a US spy base, monitoring communications in Europe and the Middle East. It is central to intelligence gathering in the so- called `War against Terror' and a key base for the global spy system Echelon. The base is actually US territory. US intelligence officers and military work there as well as support personnel from the UK - in all 3,000 people. It is being used to identify targets in Iraq and will be used to co-ordinate bombings when they start.
The action was a massive success. The main gate at Menwith is under construction so access is through two side gates. These, and a disused rear gate, were shut by activists, leaving the base almost completely shut down. The US military even came to have a look - something unheard of at Menwith, they usually stay well away. This is just the beginning... The US and British governments are making war in our names. We need to build an active resistance movement and sabotage their war effort. Indifference is not an option!
October 2: the trial of 2 people charged with criminal damage at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston was postponed after the prosecution failed to produce evidence that the site, near Reading, had ever been licensed to produce nuclear weapons. The defence lawyer stated that, under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act of 2001, anyone "possessing or producing" a nuclear weapon is "guilty of an offence," and "liable of conviction to life imprisonment" - unless, under Section 48 of the Act, such possession or production has been authorised by the Secretary of State. Aldermaston has, so far, been unable to produce such authorisation. Pre-trial hearings have been set for a later date.
Ireland, 19th August: activists were arrested at Shannon Airport after protesting its use for fuelling US military aircraft on their way to Europe and the Middle East. often carrying weapons like `daisycutter' bombs designed to `clear' spaces 600m wide of all living beings. Gardal later told activists that they `didn't know the half' of what went on at the airport at night. and said that jets had recently passed through which even security personnel were not allowed to approach.
Activists disrupted an army promotion and recruitment event at Horseguards Parade in London which also included the charity Stroke Awareness working closely on ajoint scheme, using army fitness trainers to promote exercise. The activists "tried to point out what appears to be the contradiction in: `Get fit and go kill people' - or - `Get fit and go kill other people's children' - Or - `Get fit then go and get killed'. `Get fit then watch out for the Depleted Uranium' would have been even more to the point."
Anarchist Travelling Circus, a UK wide series of actions projects and events, and a mobilisation against the G8 Summit taking place in Evian (Lake Geneva on the French-Swiss border) June 1st 3 d 2003
Recent summit-hopping protests have built and revitalised the anti-capitalist movement, strengthened international solidarity, created new links, and mobilised people and ideas. This process is important, but mobilising around one-off events isn't enough. The Anarchist Travelling Circus attempts to reconcile mass mobilisations with local projects and actions; create links between anti-capitalist and daily struggles in our communities and workplaces; involve those who cannot/do not want to travel around getting tear-gassed; and emphasise that our multiple struggles against war and militarism, the destruction of the earth, debt and lack of housing, the treatment of asylum seekers, the mind-numbing, soul-destroying monotony of wage labour and many other issues cannot be won until the fight against capitalism is won, daily, constantly, everywhere.
The idea is a 5-6 week tour of the country, perhaps beginning on Mayday, and culminating in Evian on June 1st at the G8, with a possible `No Border' Camp en-route. As the Circus progresses around the UK, people could join and leave at will. staying on till Evian or never leaving their home town. At each city, town or village people would organise actions, open social centres, or stage cultural events. The idea is for anybody interested to set up local groups to organise events and transport and network the idea locally. An internet discussion list has been set up, to subscribe, send a blank email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are setting up a group in your area and would like a speaker, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know. The web address is www.g8circus.org.uk.
"As we find ourselves on the verge of another Gulf War it's easy to forget that the first never ended for the people of Iraq. Twelve years of economic sanctions have compounded the effects of the 1991 war, condemning an entire population to poverty and suffering. According to UNICEF, over 500,000 under-fives have died as a consequence of sanctions.
A dilapidated infrastructure resulted from Allied bombing, and has remained in an appalling state because sanctions deny both physical commodities and economic resources. The result: undrinkable water and raw sewage backing up into peoples' homes, in a country which had British-standard sanitary systems a decade ago. Obesity, once the most common complaint in child health problems, is now replaced by poverty and starvation. 800,000 children under the age of five are chronically malnourished, according to the World Food Program. The biggest child killer in Iraq over the last twelve years has been diarrhoea and other water contamination related diseases. I've watched as young children walked barefoot through human waste in Basra, seen four month old babies dying in front of their mother's eyes as a result of wasting from diarrhoea. The Security Council Panel on Humanitarian Issues said in March 1999, "even if not all suffering in Iraq can be imputed to external factors, especially sanctions, the Iraqi people would not be undergoing such deprivations in the absence of the prolonged measures imposed by the Security Council and the effects of war.' Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, both former UN Humanitarian co-ordinators, resigned in protest at the sanction regimes, which they've called "failed" and "genocidal". The humanitarian impact of a war on Iraq under these conditions would be catastrophic, condemning an already suffering nation. A Pentagon administrative officer warned President Clinton in 1998 that the pre-cursor attack plan to Desert Fox would as a "medium case scenario" result in the deaths of 10,000. If, as in 1991, the attacks targeted vital civilian infrastructure, it would be "an attack on children's ability to survive" according to Save the Children, and a worse scenario than that above.
According to a UNICEF representative in Iraq, if military action interrupts the distribution of the monthly food ration, which most households in Iraq have an "almost total dependency" upon, it would result in `"famine on a large scale." UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has stated that the collapse of the electrical sector could "potentially dwarf all other difficulties [so far] endured by the Iraqi people."
The Bush/Blair `dossier of evidence' provided nothing but conjecture. There are 23 million people in Iraq, the warmest, most loving, compassionate people I've ever had the privilege of meeting. With children already dying at epidemic proportions we have to do everything possible to prevent adding to this already fatal cocktail. Awar on Iraq would be a gross violation of international law, of decency, of morality and of any democratic process in Britain, with the majority of people across the political divide opposed to a war in Iraq."
Voices in the Wilderness has been running a postal sanctions breaking campaign for some time. People send small packages of medicines or toys to Iraq without applying for an export licence, and use their action as a means of getting the local media to cover the issue. This is a breach of the law on sanctions, and should not be undertaken without due consideration! Contact Voices for a pack, including details of where/what to send, and legal ramifications.

A tew week ago the Sumac centre and friends went for a picnic in woods near Nottingham. It was the first time in a year and a half since the closure of the old Rainbow centre, that almost everyone got together without the pressure of getting the new centre open. Not everyone was there - a few people were back at the centre running the cafe and the Veggies crew were off doing an event as they almost always are. Everyone played rounders and an amazing, amusing game of three frisbees and football was invented. We sat down to a vegan picnic and much wine was consumed. After sunset, a fire kept the day going into the early hours.
The Sumac centrc is finally open, meeting the only deadline we have managed to keep, which was to open the weekend before Glastonhury and the summer exodus to fields across the country. Volunteers were up til early hours the week before finishing off the building work. We only finished at 2am the night beforc our opening day, when over 1 00 people came for free tea and cakes, a kids' ceilidh by Monster Massive and a bring-and-buy sale.
The vegan cafe is open three days a week (Fri-Sun I Oam-6pm) and the number of customers is building up. Our library is starting to emerge from its boxes and the shock of living in garages and cellars across Nottingham. Work still needs to be completed on the bar, which we hope will be open for Christmas. And thoughts have turned to our out-buildings, which are derelict and full of everything we had to get out of the way to open the main building. In our heads is a new grand ecologically souird office and workshop block. The volunteers who have been working on this for two years (seven days a week at some points) are exhausted, but new volunteers are starting to come in to turn this part of our dream into reality.

North-West SHAC Day of Action: Activists easily gained entry to a "secure" building to invade WorldCom's offices and halt work, whilst workers from other offices were informed about WorldCom's involvement in horrendous animal cruelty. Many wished us luck in closing Huntingdon Life Sciences. We then paid a visit to Marsh, HLS' insurers. Activists stormed the building and locked themselves into a conference room. A megaphone was directed out of the window and for an hour passers-by informed of Marsh's support of HIS. Police tried to arrange a meeting between us and the manager, but he was too ashamed to speak to us. Eventually police piled in and we were escorted out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wednesday from Flattering LBD with interesting fabric I bought this dress just to have in my closet for cocktail parties, weddings, etc. It is my favorite kind of dress - simple, beautifully cut and this one has some texture to the fabric. I am 5'2" and 117 pounds with a curvaceous body (i.e., larger chest) and this dress really fit my curves well. I ordered a size 6 in order to accommodate my chest size. On me the length is just above the knee. The slightly full skirt is fun and gives it a party vibe.I love it and can't wait to wear it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Darling0411 from Simply adorable! Purchased this to wear to a wedding in June. The quality of the fabric is beautiful. The fit and flare shape is perfect to define a smaller waist. Has pockets too which makes it not as formal. I'm jazzed about this dress! Got the black but wish I had another occasion to buy the cream. For reference got the 00 I'm 5 ft and 104 lbs. Its snug in the bust (34c) yet overall fit slightly better then the 0. I just can't gain a pound! :-)

Heating Your Home With Gas
Remember the days when you were nice and warm in your home? With natural gas heating it is virtually on the minute you walk in the door. When it's cold, natural gas performs better than electricity. It warms a room within minutes and is cheaper and more effective in the long term. Most importantly, natural gas is a more comfortable heating. It provides instant, short, intensive heat without draughts, dust or condensation. It is the perfect source of heating for families with health problems. There are many different gas heating solutions for your home, meaning that there will be a product to suit you.
Ducted Heating
Ducted heating is a form of central heating that provides heating for your entire home through a system of ducting and room outlets. The result is comfortable and controllable warmth in every room.
A specialist installer can zone your home and program the unit. This means you can heat your entire house or zone your home for when you only want to heat a certain area. With a thermostat control, you can heat the rooms to the desired temperature and save money on energy costs.
Ducted heating is better installed in the floor as it means less energy is used to move the air around the home.
Ducted heating should be looked as an investment that will provide luxury and comfort in the short term, while adding value to your home in the long term.
Hydronic Heating
Hydronic heating uses hot water to provide heating for the whole home, and can be used as an economical and highly effective form of space heating.
In the majority of hydronic heating systems, the water is heated in a boiler and then pumped through piping to panel radiators or convectors positioned in each room. Heat is transferred directly from these to the room air.
In-slab systems are also available, where heat is pumped through pipe laid in a concrete slab floor during its construction. Heat is released into the slab and then into the room.
Hydronic systems produce both radiated as well as convected heat, which is very quiet. They are energy efficient and a comfortable source of heating. They can also help to reduce the effects of allergies as air particles are not circulated around the air as quickly as with ducted heating systems.
Flame Effect Fires
People have been using fire to warm up their houses for centuries. The warmth and atmosphere of a wood fire are very appealing to households.
The range of natural gas flame fire heaters and gas log heaters now allow households to enjoy the comfort and ambiance of a wood heater without the effects of smoke pollution, and without the added hassle of collecting wood and starting up the fire. The gas flame fire heaters add convenience to a home, and the atmosphere they create is unbeatable.
Gas flame-effect fires are available as either freestanding or inbuilt models that can be installed into a fireplace.
Some of these fires boast the most advanced technology in the world today with a host of additional features for added comfort and control, whilst adding a touch of elegance to your home. Features include a remote control, programmable timers and full thermostatic control.
Space Heating
Space heating is the first choice in many Australian homes due to their modern features. Well-known for their style, efficiency, technology and long life, space heaters offer advanced features which makes them the popular choice in the market place.
There are two types of heating – convective and radiant. Convective gas heaters efficiently move warm air around your chosen heating space. Radiant heaters heat the people and objects of the room where the heat is directed, providing comfort. Gas space heaters have many features, including timers and thermostats. These give you the ability to control the temperature of your home and the heat output with the flick of a switch. You can pre-set the appliance to your personal preference, and then enjoy your warm home. Gas space heating provides cosy warmth to your individual living areas. Space heaters can either be flued and fixed to a section of your home, or can be unflued and ran with a bayonet point. The advantages of space heaters include:
- Instant warmth; which heats your room or home much faster
- Modulating for better temperature control
- Improved comfort and work
- Will not drop in outside temperatures compared with heat pumps, making them the best choice when it is really cold outside.
- Easier on the environment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It was supposed to be an issue like no other, featuring the most sought after eligible Filipino bachelors. But alas, it fell victim to a glitch.
Town and Country magazine featured the Philippines' most eligible bachelors that was supposed to elicit the ooh's and aaah's of the magazine's followers and subscribers.
It was supposed to be a Filipino version of TIME magazine's 'sexiest men alive.'
But alas, for some unexplained reason, former President NoyNoy Aquino was included in the bachelor list. It turned off a lot of the magazine's subscribers.
Unfortunately, the magazine's' print edition has been released. There's no turning back.
An erratum is not going to help at this point.
The magazine has apologized.

Market Statistics: Buying and Selling Homes in San Lucas, Marana
Last April, I shared a post about the current conditions in San Lucas Community, a nice little "neighborhood" along Interstate 10 on your way north from downtown Tucson. Most of the homes were built in 2007 or later, so it's a great "newer" community to investigate.
San Lucas sits nestled beneath a backdrop of the Tortolita Mountains and is surrounded by natural desert vistas. Nearby is the growing business area of the Marana Town Hall and Municipal buildings, as well as the Marana Health Center, parks, library, and a few shopping and restaurant offerings. Commercial pads are available and the area is optimistic that this growing district will soon hold a lovely assortment of retail ventures.
New construction is rampant in the area, with several builders busy within San Lucas, as well as nearby in Gladden Farms and Rancho Marana. Remember if you are interested in building "new" to bring your agent representation along on your first visit! Site managers, although very knowledgeable of their product, work for the seller! Bring someone that works for you.
Today I thought I'd compare the current market condition in San Lucas Community for September, with the previous buying and selling activity of April 2011. What IS your buying and selling power within San Lucas, Marana?
Homes in San Lucas range from 3 to 5 bedrooms, at a cozy 1302 sq. feet on up to 2811.
In April, the average LIST price of ACTIVE homes for sale in San Lucas was $82.40. September's average is currently at $75.62. The median price has dropped from $150K to $143,148. Actual sold averages hover at approximately $71 a sq. foot.
There are 12 homes for sale in San Lucas at print time, with 6 of them new construction. The other 6 are all distressed sales: short sale or bank owned, which tends to bring down the overall market value. One of the homes on the market is actually listed at $100,000 for a home over 1500 sq. feet!
If you'd like more information on this or any other Marana community and homes for sale in Marana, please contact me today. As a Marana neighbor, I'm happy to show you around my town!

Boise & Garden City
What's hot at Boise Halloween shops this year? Hint: Not clowns
Halloween costume hunters in Boise favor superheroes over clowns
Boise mom Laura Johns and her two young children were on a hunt for Halloween costumes Thursday afternoon.
Her daughter Casey, 4, quickly decided she wanted to be Ariel from "The Little Mermaid." The little girl stopped abruptly several times as she walked the aisles of Halloween City.
"I already saw the clown face right there," said Casey. Without any prompting, she pointed out clown-related items inside the pop-up holiday shop near Best Buy on Franklin Road in Boise.
Clowns are on people's minds lately — even little people — but not in a positive way, thanks to the "creepy clown" online trolling campaign sweeping the country. And there isn't much demand for clownwear at Boise Halloween shops, according to staff at two stores.
"I wouldn't say we've had a spike," said Kevin Wardle, assistant manager at Spirit Halloween. In fact, one of his coworkers said one customer decided against dressing up as a clown because of the hubbub.
Tim Woodard, assistant manager at Halloween City, and a fellow employee recalled selling just two clown costumes (only one was "creepy," by the way).
Superheroes are always popular with kids and adults. Characters from the movies "Deadpool" and "Suicide Squad" are among the top sellers this year at local costume shops.
"We've sold out of Catwoman," Woodard said.
Costumes from the video games "World of Warcraft" and "The Legend of Zelda" are also in demand, as are those from the "Attack on Titan" game and manga franchise.
It's a big election year, and the costume shops have a large selection of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton masks and wigs.
For $12.99, you can get a mask of Trump frowning, yelling or smirking at Spirit Halloween. The store also have smiling and "surprise" Hillary masks.
Halloween City also has Trump and Clinton masks, along with a couple of fun extras — red "Great Again" hats (apparently they couldn't use Trump's full slogan, "Make America Great Again") and Insta Bake bronzer.
If animatronic decorations are your thing — creepy creatures that flash, jump, howl or scream — you'll want to check out Spirit Halloween.

to Process
No, only authorised Civil Celebrants can solemnise weddings in Australia.
Can you marry us in Las Vegas?
No, I can only solemnise weddings within Australia, Australian Air Space or Australian waters.
What are the Marriage Regulations 1963 all about?
Marriage Regulations 1963 are designed to facilitate the Australian Marriage Act 1961. Think of the regulations as the practical application of the Marriage Act.

to NOIM
The reason is that the brochure acts as a fall-back measure, to ensure that couples getting married understand exactly what they are about to enter into.
Do I need to change my name after I am married?
No. Women who are married under Australian Law automatically have ther name changed, because the Offical Marriage Certificate acts as a psuedo name change certificate.
If the State I live in recognises gay marriage am I legally married?
No. The Australian Marriage Act 1961 is a federal law, meaning that the States effectively have no power to change it (this must be done by the senate that sits in Canberra). Federal law covers the nation, whereas state-law is specific to that state only.
How do we go about getting married in Australia?
I am an International Marriage Consultant, so I can assist you every step of the way to being legally married in Australia.

QuickBooks 2018 Desktop: What is New?
What is the new in the Quickbooks Desktop 2018?
It's time for the new release of QuickBooks Desktop 2018. Intuit has lifted its embargo, so now we can talk about what's new. Over the next few days, Insightful Accountant is posting a series of articles on these new, enhanced and improved features.
Traditionally, Intuit has had a focus within each new QuickBooks Desktop product release that either was intended to provide features for general users, features for accountant users, features for Enterprise users, or in some cases major technical changes.
This year, it seems there are changes for everyone.
According to Intuit, the two most warmly received changes measured during trial testing are the new Multi-monitor Support feature and the security change associated, which allows users to "Remain Logged-in."
Without further ado, here's a list of what's new:-
1:- Multi-monitor Support
2:- Remain Logged-in
3:- Search Chart-of-Accounts
4:- Cash/Accrual Toggle on reports
5:- Past Due Stamp on Invoices
6:- Enhanced Inventory Reports (customize columns)
7:- Webmail Users: Secure Webmail
8:- Payroll Users: Payroll Liability Reminder
9:- Accountant Users: Merge Multiple Vendors
10:- Enterprise Advanced Inventory Users: Sales Order Fulfillment Enhancements and Portable Scanner Option (and more) for Order Fulfillment
11:- Enhanced Security and Behind-the-scenes Improvements
Multi-monitor support:- makes it easy to move a QuickBooks window to a different monitor than the monitor where QuickBooks was resident. It also means that pop-up windows associated with the working window will appear on the correct monitor. That means no more having to track down pop-up messages hidden behind an un-associated window.
QuickBooks 2018 Desktop versions allow you to elect to Remain Logged-in to QuickBooks. That means you don't have to log-in every time you open or switch Company files. This is an optional preference, so in my feature article, I'll address "the good, bad and the ugly" safety and security aspects of this new preference.
Ever have a hard time tracking down that account you know exists, but you just can find it in your COA? The reason is QuickBooks has never had a search feature within the Chart of Accounts list. But new for 2018 is the Chart-of-Accounts Search-box, which allows you to search by part or all of an Account Name or Number. If you want to more information then Contact the QuickBooks Tech Support phone Number +1-855-441-4417. and get the help Quickly.

Same-Sex Marriage Being Legalised Just Took A Step Back
The Liberal Party has voted to continue with its policy of having a plebiscite rather than allowing a free vote in Parliament.
28 MPs spoke in favour of retaining the current policy, with six MPs calling for a free vote in parliament.
A plebiscite is a vote to test whether the nation agrees an issue or disagrees. However, the government is not bound by the vote.

Four drawbacks of modern theory of international are: 1. Oversimplification 2. Partial equilibrium and not general equilibrium analysis 3. One-sided theory 4. One of many possible explanations!
1. Oversimplification:
Some critics hold that the factor proportions theory of Ohlin is unrealistic because it is based on oversimplified assumptions like those of the classical doctrine.
This is true regarding his initial model for explaining the theory. But he simplified the model only in order to find out the minimum difference between countries which would be sufficient to initiate trade.
This minimum difference as a difference in the relative endowment of factors between regions. Once this is recognised, in Ohlin's theory, the apparent vices of the model turn out to be its virtues. Because, the theory is applicable to the phenomenon even after removing all the assumptions underlying the model. It asserts that the ultimate base of international trade is the difference in proportions between qualitatively identical factors in the two regions.
2. Partial equilibrium and not general equilibrium analysis:
According to Haberler though the location theory of Ohlin is less abstract and operates 'closer to reality,' it has failed to develop a comprehensive general equilibrium concept. It is, by and large, a partial equilibrium analysis.
3. One-sided theory:
In his basic model, Ohlin assumes that relative factor prices would reflect exactly relative factor endowments. This means that in the determination of factor price, supply is more significant than demand.
But if demand forces are more important in determining the factor prices, probably the capital abundant country will be exporting the labour intensive good. For the price of capital, relative to labour will be high due to the high demand for capital. Then the factor price ratio (PK/PL) in a capital abundant country will exceed the (PK/PL) in the labour-abundant country.
Perhaps this is implied in the Leontief Paradox: that America exports labour-intensive goods and imports capital intensive ones.
Thus, relative differences in demand conditions in factor and commodity markets between two countries also provide an explanation of the basis of trade. In this sense, differing factor endowments (Ohlin's hypothesis) become just one of the many possible explanations.
Some critics, however, feel that if differences in consumer's preference and demand for goods are recognised, the commodity price-ratios will fail to reflect cost ratios. Under this situation, the trade pattern will fail to correspond to the basic theorem of Ohlin.
4. One of many possible explanations:
To some critics, differences in relative factor endowments (the basic content of Ohlin's model) are one of the many possible explanations for the commodity price differences underlying international trade. Commodity prices may differ even when there are either differing factor qualities, differing production techniques, increasing returns to scale or differences in the consumers' demand for the products in two countries.
Ohlin does recognise this point and concludes that though there are many such reasons for the international differences in the commodity prices, unequal factor endowments seem to be the predominant element in any explanation of the basis of international trade.
Wijanholds' specific criticism:
Wijanholds, however, opines that it is not that factor prices which determine costs thus determine commodity prices as assumed by Ohlin, but it is the commodity prices that determine factor prices. To him, prices of products are determined basically by their utility to the buyers (the demand force in the market), while prices of factors like raw materials, labour, etc. are after all dependent on the demand and prices of final goods produced by them (their demand being a derived demand.)
He further maintains that both the comparative costs theory and the factor proportions theory are defective because they start from differences in costs of production; the former measures the difference in terms of labour- costs and the latter in money terms. But the real logical approach is to start with prices of commodities, because, "prices are the only things we may accept as data.
Everything else has to be derived therefrom." And prices of goods (in the market) are primarily determined by their utility to the consumers. Thus, it is the prices of goods which fundamentally determine the place at which each unit of labour, capital etc. is to be employed. Each unit of a factor will be employed, where it can command the highest reward (monetary returns), which in turn depends on the quantity of goods produced with it (i.e., its marginal physical productivity) and the price of goods in the market paid by the consumer.
According to Wijanholds, this principle holds good for the division of labour within a country as well as between countries. To him thus though differences in ability or efficiency of a factor do play their part in territorial specialisation, it is not a very decisive or ultimate cause as has been assumed by Ricardo.
Ricardo's analysis was erroneous because it concentrated solely on costs and totally neglected utilities of commodities. Wijanholds thus concludes that the principle of comparative costs underlying the theory of international trade should be replaced by the law of "Comparative Returns" as the basis of geographical specialisation.
Concluding Remarks:
In conclusion, nevertheless, it may be put thus: Though Ohlin's factor proportion theorem is for all practical purposes irrefutable as it is based on certain restrictive assumptions so that it may be unsuitable to real world test and to that extent may be regarded as a bad theory, even then, it is the most crucial among all explanations of why trade takes place.
It has been, however, remarked that Ohlin's theory has not really been tested so far. Further, Ohlin's theory for all practical purposes is irrefutable, because it cannot be put to a perfect empirical test on account of its unrealistic and restrictive assumptions — perfect competition and full employment.
In short, Ohlin's factor-proportional analysis is not the only explanation of the phenomenon of international trade. It is rather one of the several possible explanations such as:
(1) differences in factor supply
(2) differences in the factor efficiency
(3) differences in the state of technological advancement
(4) differences in the community's scale of preferences and relative demands
(5) differences in the economies of scale
(6) differences in population growth and economic needs
(7) differences in the rates of capital formation, etc.
