New to FUSN / Membership
Membership Enriches the FUSN Experience
Newcomers and longtime visitors who feel they have found a home at FUSN are welcome to become members. Everyone is invited to join the society! Membership is a rich experience with both the privileges and responsibilities of belonging deeply to a community.
By definition, FUSN members are congregants who have been voted into membership by the board of trustees of the society and who have signed the society's membership book. However, membership means much more. First of all, joining FUSN is a declaration that you share the values and goals of the society and the wider Unitarian Universalist movement. It is also a personal commitment to be in relationship with the members of this society who, collectively, seek spiritual growth for themselves and their children, share the wisdom of many religious traditions, and offer service to humanity and acknowledge a reverence for the earth.
Expectations of Members
FUSN has broad expectations of members, but how these expectations are met will vary from person to person and over time. Mostly, members make a commitment to reflect periodically on these expectations and on their own involvement with the congregation. The expectations:
- Attend Sunday services with the congregation;
- Actively pursue your own spiritual growth;
- Join in the work and play of the congregation;
- Pledge at a level commensurate with your commitment;
- Provide service to the wider community; and
- Connect with the wider UU movement.
Please consider taking the Everything UU course taught by the ministers and director of religious education to learn more.
Benefits of Membership
Having a place to worship, make friends, pay attention to spiritual matters, receive support, seek out pastoral care--these are all benefits available to everyone in the FUSN community. However, many people report feeling a deeper sense of connection to the society and fellow members once they have officially joined. There is a sense of belonging and stability that often accompanies formalizing the relationship. Other benefits are more concrete: free access to facilities and minister for weddings and funerals, reduced building rental for special occasions, and a subscription to the quarterly UUA magazine The World. Together, members jointly own the building and the endowment. That's something!
In addition, only members can confer ordination on the ministerial interns and vote to call or install a new minister. These are joyous occasions in the life of the congregation, and only members can fully participate. Finally, being a member allows you to fully live the fifth principle of our faith: the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. Only members can vote at official congregational meetings, hold an elected office of the congregation, and represent the society at district or national meetings.
Steps to Membership
If you would like to join the society, drop by the Welcome Table at Coffee Hour and ask the Member Services Committee member for an Intent to Join card. This card will be presented on your behalf to the board of trustees. Following FUSN's 150-year tradition, the board votes new members into the congregation at the first meeting following the signing of the card.
After the vote, you are asked to submit a brief paragraph about yourself to be published in the newsletter to notify the congregation of your commitment to them and to the society. A few weeks later, you will be invited to participate in the breakfast and new-member welcoming ceremony that celebrates your official entry to the FUSN community. At that time, you will sign FUSN's historic Membership Book, and, together with others joining on the same day, make a statement of your commitment to the community, and hear the promise the community will make to you.
For more information, contact the membership services committee chair.

Tumor growth and progression requires development of a new vascular supply. Many current anti-angiogenic therapies target VEGF, but targeting VEGF alone is not universally effective in combating angiogenesis induced by tumors in different organs or at various stages of the disease. Thus more global approaches to inhibit angiogenesis are needed. My laboratory has defined roles for the homeobox (Hox) master transcription factors, HoxD3, HoxA3 and HoxB3 in coordinately regulating endothelial cell (EC) invasion, proliferation, and adhesion during angiogenesis. In addition we have also demonstrated that other Hox factors, namely HoxD10 and HoxA5 act in a dominant manner to maintain cultured EC in a quiescent, differentiated state and resist angiogenic stimuli. To explore the anti-angiogenic and anti-tumorigenic potential of Hox genes in vivo, we will focus on HoxA5, which is highly expressed in quiescent differentiated EC, but expression is reduced in activated tumor endothelium. Ectopic expression of HoxA5 in cultured EC impairs migration, down-regulates several pro-angiogenic genes including VEGFR2, ephrin A1 and IL-6 and significantly increases levels of anti-angiogenic factors including Thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2). HoxA5 also stabilizes EC adherens junctions and reduces endothelial cell permeability. Our preliminary evidence suggests that EC HoxA5 may also suppress recruitment/infiltration of pro-angiogenic bone marrow derived cells (BMDC). Thus, we hypothesize that maintaining high levels of HoxA5 selectively in EC in the tumor microenvironment in vivo will stabilize the vasculature, inhibit angiogenesis and BMDC recruitment and impair tumor progression. We have developed a transgenic mouse model in which expression of HoxA5 is largely restricted to EC through TIE-2 driven expression of a tetracycline activator protein and HoxA5 can be activated in angiogenic conditions by removal of tetracycline. These mice have been crossed with 2 established de novo models of skin (K14-HPV16) and mammary MMTV-PyMT) carcinogenesis for further analysis of EC HoxA5 in reducing tumor angiogenesis and progression in complex and dynamic tumor microenvironments. We will also evaluate how EC HoxA5 influences recruitment of pro-angiogenic BMDC in these models. Finally we will develop methods to therapeutically restore HoxA5 expression in tumor tissues in vivo and explore the ability of HoxA5 to potentially coordinate the behavior of endothelial, epithelial cells and recruitment of BMDC within tissues to identify new approaches to treat tumors and their reactive stroma.
These studies will investigate the whether Hox genes which maintain a quiescent, mature phenotype in vascular endothelial cells, can be sustained in angiogenic environments and thus block tumor angiogenesis and progression. We will focus on the vascular stabilizing transcription factor, HoxA5, and using a novel transgenic mouse model, will sustain its expression in tumor endothelial cells in vivo to determine whether this impairs angiogenesis and ultimately limits tumor progression. Moreover, as this gene is normally expressed in quiescent resting vessels, but absent in tumor vessels, sustained expression would not interfere with normal vascular function. In addition we will develop two novel approaches to apply HoxA5 therapeutically to both skin and mammary tumors to further demonstrate its clinical applicability. Finally we will explore the notion that HoxA5 may act to coordinately stabilize the vasculature as well as the tumor epithelium and the pro-tumorigenic immune response thus represent a means to target the entire tumor microenvironment.

Bonded Warehouse
The global economy is made up of importing and exporting goods from one country to the next. The management of these goods from point A to point B is known as logistics. Logistics deals with everything from shipment arrangements to customs to storage. In many industries that deal in imports and exports, putting your materials in a bonded warehouse is common practice.
What Is A Bonded Warehouse?
A bonded warehouse is a typical warehouse like any other but the goods which normally have a duty on them has been unpaid. These goods are stored at the bonded warehouse under joint custody of the importer and the customs officers. Bonded warehouses are usually third party institues and are paid a separate fee for the storage of the unpaid products. Some warehouses are run by individual companies while others are government warehouses. This system exists in all developed countries of the world.
Bonded warehouses exist in countries all over the world. They specialize in products such as frozen goods, large quantities of liquids, agricultural goods, commodities, and transportation. Bonded warehouses also store construction materials before they are used on construction projects and sites. This is often the case when there is too much material to store directly at the job site.
Bonded warehouses are subject to specific laws which vary from country to country and state to state. These laws cover who can use bonded warehouses and what kind of goods can be stored there. Specific ports may also have their own set of regulations that bonded warehouse operators need to abide by. This may include proof of insurance, adequate security systems, safety measures for fire prevention.
History of Bonded Warehouses
One of the problems with doing business this way was that if you did not have the money to pay the fees, you had to immediately sell your goods to raise th emoney. This often resulted in loss of profits due to low markets.
Another problem was that businesses would increase the price of their goods to pay the high duty fees. By doing this, they became less competetive on the market.
In 1733, Sir Robert Walpole tried a solution to the import problem when he came up with his system to place tobacco and wine in designated warehyouses. His system was adopted in 1803 and according to it, imported products were placed in warehouses and importers were given bonds for payment of duties after the products were removed.
Years later, The Customs Consolidation Act of 1853 did away with the bonds and set up a means of securing duty fees. These provisions were also included in the Customs Consolidation Act of 1876, the Customs and Inland Revenue Act of 1880, and the Revenue Act of 1883. According to the Act of 1876, these warehouses were referred to as 'the king's warehouses' and were approved by the crown.
According to the various acts, before any goods can be warehoused, the importer had to give a security by bond or other means that were approved by customs officials for the full payment of the duties. The acts also set up rules that governed the shipping, unloading, inspection, and warehousing of imported goods.
Finally, while the imported products were held under bond, the importer could prepare the goods for market. This included mixing, packaging, bottling of liquids such as wine and liquor, and and manufacturing of raw masterials.
Types of Bonded Warehouses
Bonded warehouses are owned and operated by either a government agency or a private company. Private companies generally contract out their warehouse space. These private companies will sometimes cover the cost of the duties and fees for the importer.
Individual companies must file the correct paperwork with the government and customs officials where the warehouse is to be located. The paperwork can be long and complicated. Companies that are unfamiliar with the procedures can hire a lawyer who has experience dealing with the detailed forms.
Other than government or third parties, bonded warehouses may be maintained by a large import or export company. By having their own warehouses, it is more convenient for companies and helps to speed up the import/export process. Company-owned warehouses that are bonded are a good idea if the company does a large amount of importing or exporting.
Advantages of Using Bonded Warehouses
The common practice of storing goods in bonded warehouses has several advantages. First of all, and most important, the importer can store their goods without having to pay the immediate duties on them. Plus, if the importer sells the products for re-export, they do not have to pay any duties at all.
By placing the goods in a bonded warehouse that has adequate insurance, the value of the goods will be covered should they get damaged or destroyed while in storage. This covers such events as fires, flooding, or other means. If the products are damaged or destroyed, then the importer does not have to pay custom duties.
Custom duties are not cheap, especially on imported shipments of large quantities. By having bonded warehouses, it frees up cash flow for importers. They can also take their time to market their good properly to get the best price possible.

ALL LOVE is the re-connection to Source, Love. It is the realignment of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body into one unified body connecting to the ALL.
Your All-Love teacher, resonance supporter (practitioner) is visualising you in a place of perfection and love. Visualising you in all your spiritual glory and bringing this energetic picture of you into your energetic space by a process of resonance.
As this energy descends on and through you, any feeling that is not in harmony with this love and perfection, will rise to be released.This release can take many forms, and your supporter will guide you to find your own answers to simple questions, which bring profound realisations during the process.
As this process unfolds you will realise that you are in control and that you are achieving this healing within and from yourself. It is not something that is given to you or done to you.
You are the healing process and you are the healing.
The process can be ongoing but incredible results can be achieved from the first time you experience it. Changes in your life as a result of this process are nothing less than transformational. Often impacting every aspect of your life.You will feel lighter and more open. You will be more loving, compassionate and accepting of others and yourself. Abundance and joy – which are your birthright – express there energies in your daily life more completely. These feelings are anchored in your energetic system and can actually be passed on easily to others, sometimes spontaneously. Believe that all this can be achieved in an hour session, or in a 2 day workshop. It is really up to you how long it takes.
The All Love workshop is a very experiential class which will help facilitate a very deep experience of Love. Many other feelings may also arise during the weekend.
A full commitment to stay for the entire class is required. During the first day many layers of stuck feelings may be opened up and the feeling of resistance to Love may arise. This is why a commitment to being fully present fo the whole weekend is so important.
If you feel you are ready to join the class and participate fully in a group environment please join us. It is through your full commitment to Love that you will experience it to its fullest.
There are three All-Love Workshops that can be taken in any order. People wishing to learn how to Teach All-Love must attend the three workshops in order to experience all the techniques available in the All-Love system.
Each All-Love workshop is unique.
The template of the class is to allow the energy to flow naturally without following a set schedule. The following is a general outline of the elements covered in the workshop, but because of the experiential nature of this work, items listed here may or may not be included as needed.
All-Love is the way of healing with the heart. Many of the rituals and techniques that were used in the past that caused separation are no longer relevant now.
Through All-Love the initiations flow without any set rituals, all we need is love.
Where there is Love, All Love is possible, without Love we feel our
separation from Source.

The Limits of the State: Beyond Statist Approaches and Their Critics
Mitchell argues that the boundaries between the state and the society have always been porous, elusive and mobile, which is an indicator of the nature of the state. Neither rejecting the idea of state in favor of some concepts like the political system, nor bringing it back in is not feasible ways to understand the nature of the state. The former has already been disapproved while the second takes the state-society relations only as an external one. What Mitchell argues is that these relations has more than being an external relationship but is one of more complex power relations.
Mitchell starts his article with a literature review on the definition of the state. Starting from the post-war period American political science has offered two alternative responses: 1- to abandon the state as a concept too vague and too narrow to be the basis of a general science of politics, replacing it most frequently with the concept of political system; 2- since 1970s, bringing the state back in; state is not just distinguishable from society but partially or wholly autonomous from it; 3- the elusiveness of the state-society boundary needs to be taken seriously, not as a problem of conceptual precision but as a clue to the nature of the phenomenon. The distinction must be taken not as a boundary between two discrete entities, but as a line drawn internally within the network institutional mechanisms through which a social and political order maintained.
Why the state was abandoned: seeking a "total science": (Gabriel Almond, David Easton)
The word state suffered from two weaknesses: 1- its meaning is vague producing disagreement about exactly what is referred to; 2- even if agreement might be reached, the term excluded important aspects of the political process. Comparative politics scholars dropped the concept because they wanted to broaden their concern and expand the territory of the discipline to a total science (Loewenstein). By 1950s, this concern became more urgent when American optimism had turned into political uncertainty. This approached criticized the too great emphasis on the formal aspects of institutions and processes. One of their main aim was to understand the expansion of Communism in non-Soviet areas and also expand the Anglo-American values to the newly independent colonized parts of the world.
It had a promising scientificity which seemed to overcome the ambiguity of the state and its boundaries. Its totalizing ambition presented the possibility of a science whose object, the political system has no discernible limits.
Easton's systems approach depends on the political being clearly distinguishable form its social environment. The distinction exists mainly as a consequence of speaking of politics as a system. Basic tenets of the theory reflect a phenomenon arising only from the very idea of the system.
Far from solving the problem of the uncertain boundary between state and society by substituting the enlarged but sharply defined edges of a self-contained system, the systems approach unfolded the very space of the boundary into a limitless and undetermined terrain.
The return of the state: (Eric Nordlinger, Stephen Krasner, Theda Skocpol)
Easton: "The state is less an analytical tool than a symbol for unity, a myth. It represents something transcendental that symbolizes the inescapable unity of one people on one soil." But the concept of the state refused to disappear.
Nettl: "The state is essentially a socio-cultural phenomenon which occurs due to the cultural disposition among a people to recognize the state's conceptual existence. Politics is a process built out of shared constructs and a construct like the state occurs not merely as a subjective belief incorporated in the thinking and the action of individuals.
Krasner: "The lines between state and society have become blurred. This new understanding located the focus of state not in the monopolistic organization of coercion or in the arrangements that maintain a given relationship between the producers of capital and its owners but in the formation and expression of authoritative intentions.
Nordlinger: "The core of the statist perspective is to begin with public officials forming their own policy preferences. Is the state acting on its own policy preferences, translating them into public policy?" Starting form an individual level creates the effect of an autonomous state. State is determined to be originally subjective, composed of individual preferences.
According to Mitchell, this idea collapses as soon as one moves away from this point. Subjectivity needs societal support but it is not introduced until it is evident that statist arguments are not sufficient.
Nordlinger then turns to various structural features of the state that he had originally rejected as many aspects of the state definition. Then he looks at society centered explanations to ask how the structural features of the state are determined. Nordlinger concludes that the statist approach creates a state not simply autonomous from society but one that acts in the national interest.
Krasner: "The state should be understood essentially as a subjective process of policy making." State is an autonomous promoter of collective goals by excluding fro consideration state organs that sometimes fail to live up to this vision.
Ideological justifications were adapted according to political need, or reflected conflicts within the administration or were simply a confused attempt to defend a war in which even those responsible no longer believed. "hallmark of an ideological foreign policy"
The possibility of economic interests might have played a role in prolonging the war is dismissed. State autonomy rests on single assertion. The amorphous object of analysis is reduced to something called policy; intentions and desires of some certain state officials. The state is the embodied national interest and examined as a self-generated and governing idealism.
Skocpol: She writes on New Deal years and explicitly rejects a voluntarist approach to the study of the state. First she narrows the definition of the state to ensure that apparatuses into which nonstate elements may penetrate are excluded. Skocpol distinguishes fundamental state organizations from the broader political system. State organizations represent only a part of overall political systems which may include institutions through which social interests are represented in state policymaking as well as institutions through which nonstate actors are mobilized to participate in policy implementation. Autonomy of the state must be construed not in relation to any broader commercial or political interests but as the state's independent desire.
Skocpol takes the examples of French, Russian and Chinese monarchies and concludes that in all three cases the provincial and local power of the state is inseparable from the political power of the landed classes.
Mitchell: there is a common problem experienced by all three authors. The edges of the state are uncertain, societal elements seem to penetrate it on all sides and the resulting boundary between the state and society is difficult to determine. The conflict between different parts of the state apparatus is an important indication of the permeability of state boundaries because it enables one to trace how wider social differences reproduce themselves within the processes of the state. For example Skocpol argues that state and party organizations should be treated as independent determinants of political outcomes for they have their own structures and histories which in turn have their own impact upon society.
An alternative approach:
This approach begins with the elusive, uncertain boundary between the state and the society. The boundary of the state or the political system never marks a real exterior. The line is drawn internally within the network of institutional mechanisms through which a certain social and political order is maintained. There are always conflict between the state and the society as there are between different government agencies between corporate organizations and within each of them. We should not be misled by the idea that state is a coherent object clearly separate from the society.
The task of a critique of the state is not just to reject such metaphysics but to explain how it has been possible to produce this practical yet ghost-like effect. System theorists ignore practical questions about the state like the distinctiveness of the state in the modern age. State theorists also ignored these questions, even the ones who adopted a historical approach like Skocpol.
Here comes Mitchell's own argument; he makes use of Foucaldian term, disciplines. The state is the sum of disciplinary methods of enframing, partitioning and surveillance. By using this approach, we can move beyond the image of power as essentially a system of authoritative commands or policies backed by force. Other theorists have taken power as an exterior constraint, however disciplinary power works not from the outside but from within, not at the level of an entire society but at the level of detail and not by constraining individuals and their actions but by producing them. They also produce the modern, individual, productive political object. Power relations do not simply confront this individual as a set of external orders and prohibitions.
Resistance movements often derive their organizational forms from the military and their methods of discipline and indoctrination from schooling. Political subjects and their modes of resistance are formed as much within the organizational terrain we call the state, rather than in some wholly exterior social space.
State is not the actual structure but the powerful metaphysical effect of practices that make structures appear to exist. Frontiers are one of the characteristics of the modern state that practically defines and constitutes a national entity, which seems more than the sum of the everyday activities that constitutes it.
Structuralism, like arguments of Poulantzas, takes for granted the idea of structure; sharing the ideal-material dualism of the statist approaches. By approaching the state as an effect one can both acknowledge the power of the political arrangements that we call the state and at the same time account for their elusiveness.

Bathurst 1000 regular Ash Walsh will miss this year's Great Race due to an upcoming accounting exam.
The 32-year-old has become a staple of the Brad Jones Racing line-up over recent seasons, courtesy of a four-year run partnering Tim Slade at the long-distance races.
However Walsh won't drive with the squad this year, having ruled himself out of a seat thanks to an upcoming Certified Public Accountants exam.
According to Walsh the primary concern is the ongoing question mark over the border between New South Wales and his native Queensland, and whether he may have had to either self-isolate or even undergo hotel quarantine after the October 18 race.
With the exam the following week, he says he decided to pull the pin on any Bathurst plans so as not to leave BJR hanging at the last minute.
"With all this quarantine stuff going on I didn't want to burn three months of studying if I had to quarantine, or not put the right level of effort in to the exam," Walsh told Motorsport.com.
"I also didn't want to let Brad done close to the event. So decided to call it early enough for them to get a replacement they are happy with.
"It sucks not racing, but I feel it was the right decision to make. And the positive is that a young bloke gets a crack, which is great."
The young bloke in question is 22-year-old Jordan Boys, the Super2 regular set to make his Bathurst 1000 debut alongside Todd Hazelwood, who replaced Slade in the #14 Holden for the 2020 season.
He'll be joined by Thomas Randle and Jack Perkins in the BJR enduro line-up, those two paired with Nick Percat and Jack Smith respectively.
Macauley Jones' partner is yet to be formally confirmed, although the seat is expected to go to Tim Blanchard.
Walsh has made six career Bathurst 1000 starts, his best finish a seventh with Slade in 2016.

When the Supreme Court has upheld
"freedom of expression" clause & Leela Samson as a member of the censor board has cleared the movie pk & it has made crores / billions whatever
why hyperbolize & mislead bollywood is "scared" ? Not at all.
Kollywood is already working on making a tamil version of the same movie with vijay the crypto christian eager to play the part of amir khan. This kollywood vijay was eagerly courted by rahul gandhi of congress prior to State Elections in Tamil Nadu as congress & dmk's sole agenda was to thwart Jayalalithaa's victory.
I am sure I need not rewind the extent to which congress , dmk , art of living dubious "avatard" ssravishankar , bollywood dream merchants farhan akthar , amir khan etc etc defended "freedom" of kamalhassan to spin whatever spiel he wanted to in his useless movie "vis.....". Betraying how little they care for MUSLIMS & how shallow they are on any weighty issues.
The JUSTIFIABLY enraged FEW GOOD MUSLIMS approached Jayalalithaa voicing their grievances. And she is not some idiot born yesterday.
Thus was plucky enough to take the right decision.
kollywood's kamalhassan (& several others like manirathnam , kbalachanders) OUGHT to have got his comeuppance from Hindus but did not. It is overwhelmingly suited booted brahmin community(the yuppies who have a disdainful attitude towards Vedic Ethos & Principles)that constitute his fan club worldwide.
Thank God for those PIOUS Muslims who wiped off the smug arrogant swagger of his permanently. Who incidentally belongs to dk of EVR the self styled megalomaniac.
In this democracee / functioning anarchy all are EQUAL citizens. We all lead a seamless existence. All are entitled to the same FREEDOM of expression.
The legitimately outraged exercised their freedom of expression by allegedly "vandalizing cinema halls".
The cinema halls exercised their freedom of expression to get vandalized a bit. Period. Atoms , molecules etc forever in constant unseen vibration decided to rearrange & reposition themselves. That is all.
The "circumlocutory motion of hands " of certain people exercised their freedom of action.
Hence why label alacritously & UNFAIRLY "disgraceful shenanigans"?
Why blame "Bhais" "underworld"?
Does not wash.
Several years ago Haji Masthan forthrightly said :- "Those who badmouth me as underworld don / smuggler during the daytime fall at my feet late in the nights asking for money to finance their crappy movies". And he had published photo of raj kapoor falling at his feet. No fauxtography existed then in India.
Similarly I have seen photographs of jackie shroff , anil kapoor , madhuri dixit , sudha chandran & many more in cozy proximity nursing their cocktails with certain allegedly "underworld Dons" in Dubai. Many of them including sanctimonious cricketers of sanctimonious india took lot of FREE foreign cars etc etc from them.
saif ali khan sharmila tagore's son was charged with violating FERA violations in import of some expensive foreign car but was NOT punished. sharmila tagore is also a member of censor board. ranbir kapoor walked through green channel evading paying customs duty which amounted to a nominal amount - a couple of thousands. Was NOT punished. These bolly & kolly film stars have always remained UNTOUCHABLES. Hence do not exert yourself in defending them.
And resist the temptation of blaming Pakistan & "Bhais" in your zeal for defending these indian CRIMINALS.
Thank God for alleged "Underworld Dons & Bhais" who are also spurred to do whatever they do by the SAME MAKER.

I am sure if the same pk movie had been made by Hollywood with the cast consisting of entirely Americans (sans a single indian actor / actress) sitaram yechurys, bardhans , somnath chatterjees(btw is he still alive:-(() brinda karats, leela samsons , rahul gandhis , dmk , pmk , barkah dutts, vikram chandras, farah khans, amir khans,kollywood opportunistic scoundrel kamalhassan, manish tiwaris, sharmila tagores, shabana azmis , javed akthars, sachin tendulkars, anushka sharmas, karan johars- ALL would have joined hands to slap their thighs / twirl their moustaches at AMERICA screaming " how dare you insult our GREATEST OLDEST.....". Now they know they cannot afford to antagonize Hindus...hence would feign outrage & anger demanding apologies...bjp fulminating would not be surprising.
Good for nothing indians share only ONE trait in common- unalloyed ANIMOSITY towards America. And would have made lot of money through law suits whatever.
But Americans are not stupid. Without taking recourse to such appallingly ASININE story have effectively upheld TRIUMPH of Virtue. Of ETHICS.
So many unknown Hollywood movies have had indelible impact on me.
I am naming them with a FERVENT prayer to Lord Ssiva that the very thought of plagiarizing them by useless indians should merit exemplary punishment.
Simon Birch , Zero Effect , Wait Until Dark , Enter The Dragon , Mr.Destiny , Bedazzled , Blast From The Past , Payback , The Contender ( Jeff Bridges), The Italian Job , Road to Perdition , Forrest Gump , Philadelphia (this was not only plagiarized but also got mutilated in the hands of revathy the useless indian actress) I Am Sam (plagiarized by kollywood) Double Jeopardy ,Dolores Clairborne , Requiem of Dreams ( very poignant making us think for a long time) Mr.Schmidt , As Good As It Gets , What Women Want......these stimulate our thinking making us better people. The role of Art & Literature is precisely this.
Many more movies come to my mind but am unable to recall their names. Not Oscar winners.
Only one Hindi movie starring Sanjeev Kumar 'Yehi Hai Zindagi' handled GOD appearing in Person effectively. It is a remake of Tamil Kaliyuga Kannan.
Otherwise most indian movies are extremely crass instantly appealing to obtuse DULL intellect. Now Dev Anand old movies appear far far better. Such has been the fall in our quality of script , acting , lyrics , music. Who wants technology when story itself is lacking?

"House Of Sand & Fog" Spellbound & Notorious of Alfred Hitchcock ( I like all Hitchcock's movies),'Death Becomes Her'.
The MASK starring Jim Carrey never falls flat on me. Thoroughly enjoyable & a potent stress buster.
The quality of humour is extremely poor & often contrived in most indian movies.

Awfully Sorry.
Forgot to wish you.
A Very Sincere Happy New Year to you
Shobhaa De who has chiselled away many sharp angularities in me.
I realized you are indeed a kind hearted person. That IS a precious RARE trait. Not many people are kind hearted in this world.
And someone who has no ego hassles. Considering your grasp over many issues & your ability to get your points across quite effectively lack of ego hassles is another surprisingly precious trait in you.
I treasure a statement you made on tv once extremely important for all parents:-
" Overcommunicating with our children is always better than undercommunicating".

It is knavish & biased indian media that is craftily trying to turn it into Hindu versus Muslim fight.
I have no MALICE towards Muslims at all.
amir khan , shabana azmis are NOT representatives of ISLAM.
I find the movie egregiously idiotic. Considering entire world has been praising this amir khan, hirani (whose 3 idiots it was alleged was praised by some well known Hollywood Director as some great hatke blah blah. amir khan paraded as some great thinker (after lagaan , tare zameen par , pipli live).
When you declare someone is "missing" (la patha) it is understood that "missing" person is KNOWN. Very familiar.
Here amir khan goes around distributing pictures of Aanjaneyar & various Hindu Gods & Goddesses announcing they are all "la patha". Which presupposes he & the excessively impressed with such IDIOCY anoushka sharmas , bomen iranis are all familiar with our MAKER; who already KNOW God. When you KNOW God how can you claim He / SHE/ It is "missing / la patha"? How can THAT which is ALL pervading / Omnipresent be "missing". It is akin to claiming Space is "missing / la patha" while moving about naked , prancing in the very Space.. Even IDIOTS would spurn such a ludicrous 'la patha' pk movie.
It proves amir khans anoushkas hiranis are the ones CLUELESS about GOD. And towards the end dopey eyed ranbir kapoor having the same photos stuck on his cheeks. All idiots laugh uproariously. ONE bright Hindu, a Tamilian asked matter of factly " Can't some intelligent person give one resounding slap on their bare backs ?? Height of idiocy".
Charlatans are NOT the representatives of Hinduism.It is a misnomer to call them Gurus. Period. They are but charlatans. Who have all been brilliantly ripped apart by Americans. Art of living cultist to various charlatans have been unmasked by AMERICANS.
amir khans have NOTHING refreshing to offer. They have unwittingly betrayed their total lack of cerebral atoms. But have made what? Crores ??? What kind of financial management is this? Why blame Subroto Roys then ??
Ironically it is bolly & kollywood folks who are followers of art of living cultist sssrs , ramdev babas , Puttaparthy Saibabas , Nithyanandas etc.
I recall Dilip Padgaonkar , many well known Indian models were all followers of hideous cultist nirmala mataji etc.
When AMERICAN unmasked them they did so exceptionally well as they were already drawn towards Ramakrishna Paramahamsar , Yoga Vaasishtam of Ramayanam , Ashtavakra Samhita etc. Hence found out instantly sssravishankar was only recycling these Texts as his own "discovery".
Many gathered the strength to become whistle blowers after being bruised & taken for a ride by art of living ssssrs. etc.
amir khan comes too late with nothing to offer. As was rightly said by Daily Pioneer of Chandan Mitra.
anushka sharma has worked on her hairstyle , make up , costume , deportment to look like a replica of pretty & talented English actress Carey Mulligan.

VHP , RSS , Bajrang Dal should get REal SMART.
The supreme court of GODDAMNED india consisting of "secular charlatans" does not have
Mariyadhai Ramans.
Indira gandhi herself defied Shah the Judge & he had to go underground. From Cauvery River Water disputes to several many of the state chief ministers have seldom bothered to follow supreme court or any Tribunal judgement.
Often MPs like prakash karats , sitaram yechurys scream "down down with judicial activism / this is judicial assassination" all of which have been dulcet notes to arnab goswamis & barkha dutts.
But this skewered judgement favouring pk is to be welcomd & exploited FULLY by VHP , Bajrang Dal & RSS. Henceforth any indian film star, director , producer asking for protection from xyz should be DENIED Police protection.
VHP should call it "freedom" of xyz to allegedly "extort". Help the "underworld Dons" to make all these indian film fraternity go totally bankrupt.
All Police Protection withdrawn. Call it freedom of "dacoits , burglars" to break in & steal....this is democraceee....
We often hear of many Mujahideens desiring to rehabilitate themselves & join mainstream society. Ask them to pulverize these toxic scum infesting India as price for AMNESTY & seamless integration into mainstream society.
Our adversaries are not Pakistan & China but in our own midst WITHIN. Ask Hollywood to slap penalties on indian film fraternity. hemamalinis included should be DIVESTED of their kilos of Gold , Diamonds & riches.
Spineless indians cannot do it. But outsourcing this much needed FUMIGATION to Taleban, China & ISI is a splendid idea.
For accidents , adulteration & various malpractices taking place Narendra Modi should remain blissfully apathetic calling it their "respective freedoms" in this democraceeee. No investigation , no punishment.

amir khan so sanctimonious on celluloid is reported to have denied legitimate share of property to his own brother by procuring a fake certificate from psychiatrist calling his brother a "psychiatry patient".
hemamalini STOLE some Keralite Writer's story making a movie calling it "her own". And when that Keralite Novelist went to the court she threw some crumbs silencing him calling it out of court settlement. hemamalini travelling in a train sans ticket -many such unsavoury acts by indian film stars ought to be taken to the people.
Why do these filmstars react violently against journalists when they write some facts about them ? saif ali khan has behaved very violently several times.
Why do politicians become touchy when their effigies are set on fire?? They are but effigies.They are not being set on FIRE live. Yet why do police are asked to lathi charge & fire ??
Next time God Willing / Insha Allah should any bomb blast take place in Mumbai , Parliament or NDTV studio the Commandoes should rejoice. Call it freedom of expression of certain people.
Do not offer ANY help.

Since when INCORRIGIBLE nincompoops like mumbaikar siddarth varadarajans,shekar guptas,journos like tavleen singhs,madhu trehans,ramachandra guhas,arnab goswamis become the authorized people to lecture us on HINDUISM???
Hindus belonging to VHP , RSS, Bajrang Dal , BJP OUGHT NOT to fall for the bait of these indian sleaziest SLUTS in media.
Have I not been watching & hearing these nincompoops for more than a decade ? The treasonous suave prannoy roy avowedly Anti AMERICAN ( read anti REPUBLICAN , anti George Bush)diabolical communist invariably had equally treasonous shekar gupta ,brinda karat ( who is sibling sister of radhika roy wife of prannoy roy both sport BIG bindis with BIG diameter as HIDEOUS looking as the one on nirmala mataji's forehead ) vinod mehta of outlook magazine who runs porn movie porn magazines as side business siddarth varadarajan, one vidya subramaniam ( also with Slimes of India), javed akthar,vir sanghvis, khushboo as the judges in his well orchestrated talk shows aired for one hour on bbc every week. Full of vapid talk.
Talk of hypocrisy of britain & its bbc:-(( allegedly doing "investigative reporting" on
"flesh trade" in "third world countries" shedding copious tears on nirbhaya as though RAPES have been totally unheard of by these excessively intelligent & CRAFTY britain.
When Narendra Modi won the elections without having to lean on treacherous crutches christened collision (coalition this is what bengali communists taught me) partners it was again bbc reporters that were very crestfallen. I recall one bbc reporter let go of characteristic british sinister taciturnity openly ruing how dare BJP & Hindus win...this country is destined to be always under dynasty subjugation of sonia & her children. Seriously. The ABUNDANT presence of MASKS of Narendra Modi made him wince with contempt which the camera did not miss focussing on. One buxom woman calling herself journalist said "parsis are feeling insecure as Modi has won"....
Oh really..in that case why not seek asylum in your erstwhile Persia / Iran dissolving the same "sugar in milk" (mighty weary of hearing this)
or garlic paste in pilaf ( we MAGNANIMOUS HINDUS would generously donate for FREE a huge mound of pilaf full of garlic pods & garlic paste as long as you promise to stay put in IRAN).
She also said "parsis are not producing children"
ROTFL.....Narendra Modi is no bible thumping padre to impregnate women opening orphanages....calling it christian commmpassion
jawaharlal nehru is the one who sowed wild oats.....

Happy New Year, Shobha-ji. May this year usher in positive energy, happiness and loads of love. There is need for the industry to be united and come out on ridiculous comments made by political leaders bout their so-called 'Hindu' crap.
Movies like PK should be encouraged on the kind of insanity plaguing religions across the globe.
It's always a pleasure reading your blog and watching your voice on NDTV.
I wonder how come a slanderous comment above found its way on your blog. Hope some people will be more positive this year rather than resorting to abuse, insults and hatred.

Gov't-opposition clash over National Theatre bill amendments
Story Highlights
- However, the amendments adopted today in the commission seem to actually open a mere formal contest and other companies that might be interested are in uneven conditions with the company 'Fusha Shpk.'
Related Articles
TIRANA, Sept. 19 - Albania's Socialist majority in the Parliamentary Committee of Productive Activities voted on Tuesday for amendments in the law for the building of a new National Theatre building, opening a competition for the realization of this project as well as the development of the surrounding area, in the center of the capital.
However, the amendments adopted today in the commission seem to actually open a mere formal contest and other companies that might be interested are in uneven conditions with the company 'Fusha Shpk.'
The previous version of the law provided for the new NT to be built by Fusha, which undertook construction of the new facility under the project of renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels in exchange for the possibility of building a high-rise complex in the area surrounding the theatre, which is mainly state-owned.
The projects' submission deadline has been set at 30 days, a time which, according to experts contacted by VoA, is considered too little from the technical point of view for putting together a serious proposal, while 'Fusha Shpk' has one ready already.
Ingels himself has said the new NT building project has been under development since December 2016, in Top Channel's Top Show.
In addition, Ingel's project has been presented as if commissioned by 'Fusha Shpk.' However, in another instance, Ingels also said Prime Minister Edi Rama and Tirana's Mayor Erion Veliaj were the ones to request the new building.
The proposed left-wing changes were presented today in the Productive Activities Committee in the framework of reviewing the decree of President Ilir Meta, who turned the Theatre law back after it was adopted in July, accompanied with a big number of remarks.
The commission voted against the president's decree, but the Socialist MPs did not want the changes to pass at a second moment, instead choosing to amend the law within the context of reviewing the decree.
This method makes sure the latest changes don't pass through the country's president again, but rather automatically go into power.
The development was opposed by the country's opposition, however the majority argued for all the past cases the opposition acted similarly when it was in power.
The meeting took place in complete chaos, amid fierce discussions between the parties. The essence of the proposed changes was not discussed, and the left, after the quick reading of all the articles, cast the to the vote, while almost all opposition MPs were standing to argue against the decision.
The Chairman of the Commission, Socialist MP Eduard Shalsi, chose to not even formally put each individual article on the vote, bypassing Article 8 directly to the last Article 11 of the draft law proposed by them, thus opening the way to send it immediately to parliament on Thursday.
The majority withdrew from the special bill proposed by the government after encountering objections from the European Commission, which in its letter to the Albanian authorities emphasized that it encouraged them "to pursue compliance with EU public procurement principles and provide non-discriminatory access to the market."

You must know or have ever heard of a company called AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Inc., ya a semiconductor company's second-largest maker of computer processors in the world after Intel. Products from AMD are microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors graphics card (GPU) and processors for servers, workstations and personal computers (PCs), and processor technologies for handheld devices, digital television, automobiles, game consoles, and other embedded systems applications . Company founder AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is Jerry Sanders. He was born with a full name Walter Jeremiah Sanders III was born on September 12, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Jerry Sanders III was raised by grandparents from his father. As a boy he had been attacked and beaten by a street gang. He entered the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on a scholarship from the Pullman railroad car company. He graduated with a degree in engineering in 1958.
After graduation he worked at Douglas Aircraft Company. He then moved to Motorola, then to Fairchild Semiconductor. He is known as one of the best sellers at Fairchild in the 1960s and is known for her style and compliment. In 1968 Sherman Fairchild brings a new management team in Fairchild Semiconductor, led by C. Lester Hogan, who at the time was vice president of Motorola. Troops from Motorola known as "Hogan's Heroes" is very conservative and soon clashed with the style of a high-spirited Sander. Male graduate of the University of Illinois in 1958 in Electrical Engineerig this, it is also critical thinking. He is not afraid to rumble name Intel processors in the market world. When Intel launched the Pentium processor (Intel 8080). Sanders also desperately fighting for the technology to be able to get it, then when Vinod Dham, the project leader Intel Pentiumnya no small disputes with some Intel, then immediately offered Sanders the man's native India to mengarap processor then named K6.
In 1969 a group of engineers Fairchild decided to start a new company, which is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). They asked Jerrry Sander to join them, and he said he agreed, on condition that he be moved at the company's president. Despite a lot of disagreement in the group, but they agreed and the new company formed by Sanders as President.
Sanders running style in his position as CEO of AMD. He remains the company's expert salesman, always present in heavy negotiations and approach them. She likes to visit the office of Los Angeles near Hollywood and stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Sanders has always wanted to make money, but he also realized that the key to getting rich is to make people at AMD also get a lot of money too. The more he's rich, he also gave his wealth to the royal to its employees. At the end of the first quarter in which their firms generate $ 1 million, Sanders was standing at the door and give the company a piece of $ 100 to all employees when they leave the office. The whole pegawain the company get stock options, a major innovation at the time.
Sanders makes orientation a strong sales and marketing for the company, so the company is quite successful though slightly behind its competitors in technology and production. He splits his company's success with employees, usually to coincide with the achievement of sales targets. One time, when the sales target is reached, the company held a raffle among its employees, and a production worker immigrants in Sunnyvale, California won $ 1000 per month for 20 years (U.S. $ 240,000).
He also encouraged the company in difficult times. In 1974, when a severe recession occurred almost made the company bankrupt, but a sales contract with one of the distributors of the company to save the company. Although many of the difficult recession he refused to dismiss workers. Instead of cutting the number of employees, he asked the workers to work Saturdays to produce more and produce new products faster. In 1982, he secured a licensing agreement with Intel which makes AMD a second source for IBM to Intel microprocessors series, a deal that ultimately makes the company the only real competitor to Intel. In 2000, Sanders took the Héctor Ruiz, who at the time was president of the production sector at Motorola, to serve as president and CEO of AMD, and a successor to lead the company at the time retirement Sander. Ruiz replace Sanders as CEO in 2002.
The battle between AMD and Intel is in a lot of areas, the most striking difference is in the class of Z-80 (AMD), which is a milestone generation Pentium will entered. At that AMD does tergpgoh hurrying with the launch of Intel processors on a 486 is 586. If from the AMD Z-80 was designed by Federico Faggin, who claims that he makes the processor is superior and has two simple reasons, namely price and performance, when compared to Intel's 586. But the processors are owned by Intel (586), the work of Vinod. AMD announced a merger with ATI Technologies on July 24, 2006. AMD paid $ 4300000000 in cash and 58 million shares of stock for a total of U.S. $ 5.4 billion. The merger was completed on October 25, 2006, and ATI is now part of AMD.
It was reported in December 2006 that AMD, along with its main rival in the graphics industry Nvidia, received subpoenas from the Justice Department about possible antitrust violations in the graphics card industry, including the act of fixing prices. In October 2008, AMD announced plans to spin off manufacturing operations in the form of a multibillion-dollar joint venture with Advanced Technology Investment Co., an investment company formed by the government of Abu Dhabi. The new venture is called GlobalFoundries Inc.. This will allow AMD to focus solely on chip design.
As long as AMD is also known to be cheaper, and it is also often used to further reap the AMD market. AMD proved to be successful because success for some Asian markets. Apparently it makes Intel "ketar-ketir", so he then poised to make a processor with a cheap price but has a high speed, even though the quality is not as good as it had appeared first.
Some products are microprocessors, namely:
- Turion 64
- Duron
- Sempron
- Kryptonite (K5)
- NexGen (K6/K6 MMX/K6-2/K6-3)
- Athlon (K7)
- Opteron (AMD64/K8)
- Athlon64 (K8L)
- Phenom (K10)

A few things you should know about Aimee Mann: She boxes. Comedians and twelve step programs are her great inspiration. While her songs might lead you to believe otherwise, Aimee Mann isn't sad. She guest-starred as a cleaning lady on Portlandia. The word brain came out of her mouth 19 times during our conversation at Q Division studios in Somerville. She is 51.
Q: So, I think you know that I want to talk to you about creativity and aging.
A: Aging. That word aging seems to have certain connotations.
Q: I know.
A: Aging sort of implies decay.
Q: Right, and that's real. Our bodies are going to break down and die. But we can also think and talk about aging in terms of the passage of time.
A: Yeah it's interesting because I feel like it does sort of have two meanings. I would say my relationship to what I do has changed over time, but only in a positive way, you know? Like, really in a positive way.
Q: Tell me about that.
A: I think that two things happen as you do something a lot. One, your brain becomes acclimated to the specific kinds of tasks that you ask it to perform and begins to perform them more automatically for you. And the second is that you learn how to make smarter choices and shortcuts, so that you're more efficient. I almost feel like it's exponentially easier and more efficient to be creative, because a lot of creativity is generating ideas and then stepping back – well, this is how it works for me — generating ideas and then stepping back and being objective and editing your ideas. For me this task would be thinking of the thing you want to say and arranging it in a form that rhymes. That would be one big task that I require of my brain. And if your brain is closer to doing that automatically, then you're already ahead of the game.
Q: You're basically describing what scientists who research the nature of creativity talk about as a critical combination of divergent and convergent thinking. First you have to be able to generate a lot of different ideas, and then be able to filter and sort them in the most efficient and productive way.
A: And if your brain can sort to do that immediately, and now that I'm thinking about it it's not like it does it so well, but it does it better, then that's helpful because what you're generating is like presorted ideas. And the second form of intelligence that increases over time was demonstrated at karaoke recently, which by the way I'd never done before. But they have these weird rooms that you rent out, it's like very Japanese, it was in New York City, and this friend of mine had rented this room. Each room had individual karaoke machines, it's very much like a little kind of conference room. It actually has a sex cubicle flavor.
Q: Oh, wow.
A: So it's even weirder. I mean not that there's any sex involved with it, but it's sort of weirdly sterile and creepily secret at the same time. So my friend was doing this thing with a couple of his friends so I stopped by. And then, you know, because everybody was singing, it was like fine, I'll sing a couple of songs. And I've never done karaoke before because I know the kind of equipment I need, like the right microphone, the right monitoring system, I know the technical things that have to be in place in order for me to perform optimally, and karaoke does not have that.
Q: It's not an optimal audio environment.
A: Yeah. It's not an optimal situation. But then as people were choosing songs and I saw them do their thing, interestingly enough a lot of the songs were very complicated songs that I had heard a million times before but in a million years could never have sung the melody. Like, I never would have remembered how it went except maybe parts of the chorus. So I was really impressed at their ability. Their memory for melody was better than mine, because I have to really consciously learn other people's songs. But there were a couple of songs that I knew I had listened to enough that I could probably remember them, and also I knew that they would be in my key. So I was seeing other people who actually, in my opinion, had an advantage over me, in that their memory was better, struggle with certain songs because the key was totally out of reach. And I thought, I'm ahead of the game only because I know how to edit. I know how to choose a song that's close enough to my key so I know I have a chance of not looking like an idiot. But that's not talent, you know what I mean? That's just having been around.
Q: It's intelligence.
A: Yeah. It's intelligence, but it's not talent. It's not singing talent.
Q: Big difference.
A: But it's funny because it got me thinking about how half of talent, or 80%, some large percentage of talent, I think, is just being smart enough to choose the things that are appropriate for you so you will be seen in the best light.
Q: And do you feel like you continue to acquire those tools?
A: I do. Yeah. I do. Because you're always learning, hopefully. A lot of singing is muscle memory. You just do it a million times and then you get a feeling for how it feels when it's right. That's not talent either. That's practice. Talent is hugely predicated on practice.
Q: I was going to ask you about that, too, about the distribution of inspiration to discipline when it comes to creativity.
A: It's so heavily weighted on the discipline. Because I don't – I'm just not inspired. I'm not one of those people who has ideas when I'm walking down the street. Very occasionally, once every five years or something, that'll happen. But I don't think about music when I'm not playing music. It doesn't happen unless I pick up a guitar and play something that then inspires me. And that's accidental.
Q: So how do you work? Walk me through it.
A: You know, mostly how I write songs is when I'm on tour and I'm warming up in the dressing room. I usually try to warm up with stuff that's in the range of the first couple of songs I'll be singing, and I'll just start playing some chords and humming a melody and generally what happens is I will make up some kind of mocking little song about my bass player. And because there's no pressure and it's just meant to be funny and time-killing and a warm-up, about half the time I come up with some melody and I go, you know what? That's pretty good. I'm going to put it on a tape. And then when it comes time to work on a record I just listen back to all those little tapes and then I'm really able to listen to it like I've never heard it before because I've totally forgotten it by the time I hear it. And then I can be really objective about it. I do think self-consciousness is kind of the death of creativity.

International Law in the Gestational Surrogacy Debate
Over the past few decades, debates have raged worldwide about the extent to which the human body and its component parts should be bought, sold, rented, or donated. Gestational surrogacy in particular has become more popular in recent years and, in an increasing number of cases, individuals wishing to obtain the services of a surrogate are leaving their own countries to do so. The subject of surrogacy brings with it a host of concerns, including ethical worries over exploitation of surrogates in the global marketplace, the increasing potential for reproductive tourism as a result of national differences in regulation, and the geographic and socioeconomic imbalances between providers and purchasers. It is therefore worthwhile to examine more thoroughly the need for—and mechanisms for creating—international regulation to protect all parties involved in international gestational surrogacy…

Making Disciples, Raising Up Saints & Transforming Communities for Christ
Dear Friends in Christ,
A few months ago, we were gathered to celebrate Christmas. In that Season, the prayer of the Church was one of profound thanks that God, who wonderfully created the dignity of human nature in the beginning, has even more wonderfully restored that dignity in the Incarnation of God in Jesus Christ. We were not celebrating some theological abstraction, a mere change of metaphysical status. We were rejoicing in the reality of our renewed capacity to participate in the divine life, to have true life, and have it more abundantly. We were celebrating our experience of that life as something immediate and real.
In the Epiphany weeks that followed, we have rejoiced further to see Christ's true nature, and our own, gloriously revealed. With that revelation, we have recognized that our life's true work is our partnership with Jesus to carry out God's mission. Lately, in Lent, the Church has focused us on our need to deal with anything and everything that gets in the way of our living fully into the reality of our true self, our true work. This has helped us to understand that we need God's help, and that of one another, to make progress on this path.
Now, we come again to Holy Week and Easter, and to the celebration of the Paschal Mystery of the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ. Once again, we see that Christ has won a victory over sin and death, which makes it truly possible for us to live victorious lives also. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to God, and we have been given the work of continuing to make that reconciliation known, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ is risen; we are risen; and the world is being transformed by him through us. Easter tells us that the most powerful force in the universe is the love of God, and that the most real and important thing about each of us is that God loves us-completely, constantly, unconditionally. In that power, Christ is risen, we are risen, and the world is being made new.
God help us to embrace and live that good news more fully this Easter. God bless you this holy Season.
Yours in Easter Joy,

"It was two days before Christmas when my apartment building burned down. I am a single mother to an 8-year-old boy. We lost everything. I went to go see my advisor, and when I shared my story, he thought that the Connection Center would be able to help. All I really wanted was a bus ticket, yet I got so much more. I got connected to 211. They helped me find clothing donations for myself and my son. They also connected me to agencies that can donate clothing, and they also connected me with a service that would assist me in paying a late utility bill. Not only was I able to get several resources from 211, but the faculty at RCC helped me in so many ways. I am so thankful for the outpouring of support that I have received from the community."
"I first found out about the Connection Center by visiting the Kiosk located in the Student Union building. I was 5 months pregnant. When I arrived in the Center, Joe invited me to sit down in private and chat. He offered me a cup of decaf coffee and gave me a cool stress ball. Joe guided me through the 2-1-1 call, so I could find a doctor, as I was not happy with my current medical care. I was able to find a physician I am satisfied with shortly after my visit at the Connection Center. A couple of weeks later I visited the Center again and was able to speak with a mental health counseling intern about everything that has been going on. Tierra is warm and compassionate. She was able to provide me with additional community resources for expectant mothers, other than those I obtained from 211. I'm so glad I went to the Connection Center for help."
"My family and I had our home burned to the ground. Our story was on the news. We lost everything. We were in need of food, clothing and other basic necessities. I first found out about the Connection Center by visiting the Kiosk. A Resource Navigator helped connect us to the Center. Joe escorted us to the clothes closet on campus. After, we went back to the Center and Tierra called 2-1-1 and gathered several resources to food pantries, soup kitchens, church resources, and other community support resources for us. We also received food from the RCC Food Cupboard, brought directly to us by Mike. A couple of weeks later I received donations of clothes and bed sheets from the Connection Center itself. Getting back on our feet is difficult, but the Connection Center has done a great job helping us get our basic needs met."
"Dr. Katie Lynch referred me to the Connection Center. I initially came in about my basement being flooded, where 80% of my belongings were ruined. I missed out on work trying to salvage the rest of my belongings. I lost a lot of sentimental items, which was devastating. I spoke with Tierra about my situation and she helped me sort out what exactly I needed to do, as well as took the time to explore how I was feeling and what I was thinking about what had happened. She called the 2-1-1 helpline for me and provided me with some contact information for some community resources. The best and most surprising part was when I was given donations from a professor at RCC and the Connection Center itself. Rockland Community College really cares about its students."
"I had just lost my job and had no way of paying my bills. I suddenly became homeless. I did not have the support of my family, and did not know what I would do. I was living in my car, and I would sleep in the parking lot of a plaza. The stress of not having shelter started to cause an immense amount of anxiety. I was scared that I would not be able to continue my education. I was referred to the Connection Center, and they connected me with 211. They were able to give me resources for shelter, food pantries, clothing donations, and free cell phone information. I was overwhelmed by all the help that I received. A few months have passed since I started sleeping in my car, and I am proud to say that I found a job, have a place to stay, and I am also in the Honor's program. Susie and Joe continue to reach out to me to follow-up and I look forward to hearing from them. I can't imagine the turn my life could have taken if I had never visited the Connection Center."
"The Connection Center has personally changed my life. It made me realize how lucky I am to have such loving supporting parents. I remember one night I was yelling at my parents to get me the newest iPhone and they told me no. I remember walking away with such hatred in my heart. The next day I came into my internship and heard a story of a student my age that did not have support from his parents. That student made me realize how grateful I should be to have the love and support I have in my life."
"Imagine feeling like you do not belong. It can be difficult being around people who may not understand what I go through on a daily basis. I expressed my concerns to Joe Falco. He listened patiently as I vented to him of how hard it is to be a student from the LGBT community. Joe saw that there was a need to assist the LGBT community on campus, and began a support group. Every Wednesday LGBT students come together at the Connection Center. For one hour every week, I spend time with others who know exactly how I am feeling. The Connection Center has made me feel safe. No one passes judgment on how I live my life. Our group has created a special bond. I look forward to attending every week, and I never want to leave. Even when group is over, some of us stay at the Center, and continue speaking. I appreciate the friendships and support that I have received from the Connection Center."
"My name is Christelle Fleurimond and I have been a student worker at the Connection Center for two semesters. I became a part of a family that dedicates their lives to help those in need. At the moment of applying I did not know the Center would greatly affect one of my life decisions. During my interview, I got excited about the strides being taken for students with this program. I believe Joe Falco saw that with the big grin I had across my face the whole time during my interview. During the discussion groups I was able to attend this semester, Love was the word I used to describe it. I pride myself on being an individual that finds positivity in every situation and I had the opportunity to share that part of me. People I have not seen before became people I confided in to share my stories and give advice. I felt like me. That might seem odd to say, but it's not everyday someone can say they did not feel like they had to alter themselves to feel a part of. The Connection Center is a place that will change so many lives. Even if it is not written on paper or bluntly expressed it can play a big role in one's life. I have always struggled with finding a major that satisfied my being and working here put it in perspective. I am now working on becoming a mental health counselor. This is the best fit for me because I have a lot I can offer the world. I am excited to continue my journey and it is all thanks to the Connection Center."

There's a bus driver in my neighborhood who has a groupie.
The bus he drives goes through my neighborhood, anyway. And he only drives this route on the weekends, as far as I know.
And every single time I get on his bus, there's a lady in the front passenger seat, talking to him. She's an older lady, about the same age as the driver. Sometimes, she has a little girl, about 10 or so, with her. Sometimes she's alone.
I could ride the bus from one end of the line to the next, and the lady never gets out at a stop. And I've never seen her board, either. She's just… always… there.
From the little bit of conversation I've heard between the driver and the lady, it doesn't seem that she's his wife. I never look for a wedding ring so I may be wrong, but I don't recall any particular topic that would make me think they share a house at all. Maybe a girlfriend?
But it's been going on for years now.
Sometimes, when other passengers get on and ask the driver questions, the lady will answer instead. I'm sure she knows this particular route as well as the driver, and likely the rest of TriMet's system, too. She'll talk about transfers to other routes, or where different businesses are along the route, or fare structures or where to buy monthly passes.
I've seen her in that seat on rainy, stormy days. I've seen her in that seat on sunny, warm days (and as a side note, man, I miss those sunny warm days right now). I've never seen her with a book or a music player or a magazine or newspaper. I've never seen her with groceries or shopping bags. I've never seen her engage other regular riders, like me for just one example, in the same way or with the same intensity that she talks to the driver.
I don't really know what else to call her, but a bus groupie.

Then & Now
24 June, 2018 @ 4:00 PM - 6:00 PMEuro20
DK and friends are together hosting a series of conversation salons in Kärsämäki, Finland, on the conversation topic, 'Then & Now.'
Can we preserve an old way of life, or parts of it, as we move forward in time? How do we define 'progress?' What is important to keep, and how do we determine what's okay to let go? What's 'culture?' What is 'preservation?' What legacies do we want to leave for future generations, and what have we learned from past ones? Let's meet. Let's converse. When you arrive, you'll get to know a few new and different others from this area. You'll be able to participate in a new way of connecting that might be unlike anything else you've experienced. DK has been hosting conversation salons since 2006 in Seattle, bringing to the table a decade of experience in facilitating discussions that have a center, and not sides. Let's meet, connect, and talk about 'Then & Now.'
The venue will be Kahvila, a cafe just steps away from the local architectural gem, the Shingle Church (pictured), which as DK has learned was built in 2000 in response to the loss of an older church, using methods and materials respectful of a much earlier time. This is the beginning of a new series, 'Hei Kesä,' which will be held in coming weeks. These conversation salons are a hybrid of facilitation methods DK have adapted from Open Space hosting methods, years of design consulting work, and general curiosity about ways of gathering new and different perspectives.
Tickets inclusive of: 1 filled croissant + 1 tea or coffee, and 1 zine of your choice from DK's June collection.
Max 6.
