Brad Pitt's 'mystical' move
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 December 2008
Brad Pitt says he and Angelina Jolie moved to New Orleans because they felt "something mystical could happen" there
Brad Pitt says he and Angelina Jolie moved to New Orleans because they felt "something mystical could happen" there.
The couple relocated to the US city after a visit convinced them it was the perfect location to raise their six children.
Speaking at the New Orleans premiere of his new movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' - which was filmed in the city - last night (01.12.08), Brad said: "Well it was big tax breaks that brought us here. I mean, that's not my department, but that's what brought us here. I'm telling you, it did something else for the film.
"It suddenly grounded it in a way that wouldn't have worked in other places. You know, there's magic and rhythms to New Orleans, that something mystical could happen here."
Meanwhile, Brad has also revealed he was pleased to be able to help the city - which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 - through his charity, the Make It Right Foundation.
The 44-year-old actor, who has teamed up with architects to build affordable, sustainable homes in the region with the foundation, told Architectural Digest magazine: "You have no idea what a high it is for me to see the delight on people's faces when they see how these homes work.
"We've cracked something here. These houses redefine affordable housing - this is a proving ground for a bigger idea that could work globally. This project is not mine anymore. It's so beyond me."

I know, it's the easiest post to do. And I haven't been a faithful blogger this week. But I have REAL excuses. Bachelorette party madness (not UNLIKE reefer madness), work trips to Pittsburgh and bike theft (not mine – no one wanted mine. Someone took Dan's.) BUT – I just miss blogging so much, and lucky me! Tomorrow is Friday. That means it's picture time. And even more happily, I have had no shortage of things to photograph since moving to the city (honestly, most of the time, the major problem is that I've forgotten my camera!) So here are a few sights from around our neighborhood to give you just a taste of where we've moved.
Just a glimpse. Have a FANTASTIC weekend!

How do we do this?
If we're honest we have all struggled, to one degree or another, with sharing our faith with others. However, we should also realize that this is one of the most important things that we can do for somebody else and for the glory of God. In this sermon we look at some of the opportunities and helps that we will be providing at NSC this fall for this most important work.

June 3, 1928 - April 11, 2017
Elkton, Maryland | Age 88
Frederick William Juergens, age 88, of Elkton, MD, passed away on April 11, 2017. Born at home on Cathedral Street, he lived his whole life in Elkton. He was the son of the late Alfred and Florence (Boyer) Juergens.
As a youngster, Fred served as an altar boy at Immaculate Conception Church which was located on Cathedral Street at that time. He was a bit mischievous and was well known by the nuns. They occasionally called Fred's mother, asking her to have Fred retrieve his feisty pet rooster, Jim, from the steps of the convent so they could get out the door without being attacked. Fred attended Immaculate Conception School and Elkton High School. Following high school, he worked at Losten's Dairy and later at Thiokol Chemical Corporation (now Orbital ATK). He retired from Thiokol in 1990. Although Fred grew old, he never grew up. Part of him remained a mischievous kid to the end.
Fred was an avid golfer. On three separate occasions, he shot a "hole in one" at Brantwood Golf Course. He also won many Thiokol-sponsored golf tournaments with his favorite golfing partner, Lee Bragg. Although Fred never had formal lessons, he had an ear for music and was an incredible harmonica player. Fred played softball as a young man and was a talented pitcher. He also enjoyed fishing, shooting pool, and playing cards throughout his life. Most important to him, however, was his family.
Fred was quite a character who had many wonderful adventures and a few misadventures during his life, leading to lots of good stories which he enjoyed telling over and over… and over again. Fred lived at Abbey Manor Assisted Living for the last year of his life. The staff at Abbey Manor lovingly cared for Fred and provided him much joy and comfort while he was in the homestretch of his life.
Fred was known for giving family members nicknames. Accordingly, his survivors include his children, Patty "Peanut" Gamby and her husband, Rod, of Alexandria, VA; Terry "Tibby" Gustafson and her husband, Kim, of Elkton; Steven "Stosh" Juergens and his wife, Tracy, of North East; grandchildren Jonathan and Elliot "Yit" Gamby, Kelli "Cow Bells" Davis (and husband Scott), Garrett Mann (and wife Casandra), and Jacob and Noah Juergens; great-grandsons Finley Mann and Logan Davis; brothers and their wives James Juergens, Richard and Gail Juergens, and George "Seeds" and Betty Juergens; as well as many other relatives and friends.
In addition to his parents, Fred was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joan "Nuck" MacKenzie Juergens who died in 2001; and two brothers, Alfred (Sonny) and Joseph Juergens.

Superdog Training Program
The following information describes how we raise all our puppies.
Their "imprinting" period begins in the neo-natal (newborn) phase at 3 days of age and continues until 18 days of age. This "imprinting" technique consists of a repetitive stroking, turning, holding and positioning regime that, when applied at this early age, gives the puppy an extremely confident, trusting attitude when being handled. This calm confidence lasts him his lifetime.
Phase two begins at 3-4 weeks. He is introduced to soft foods and recall training is begun. We continue to handle the puppy in a normal fashion.
Phase three, at 5-8 weeks, consists of house time in a group and as an individual. We continue food treats by hand and grooming table training to stand when placed in position.
The puppies have hours of fun in our agility style play yard. All kinds of noise and visual stimulations are experienced at this time.
I like to say our puppies our "bullet-proof" when placed!

Pointed crease EB 15
This brush is perfect for smaller eyes and detail work. I have so many favorites! Sedona Lace is my brand of choice and I am addicted to collecting them.
Out of stock
The best thing about this crease brush is that it comes to a nice point at the top. This is perfect for even the smallest eye spaces.
Tip: Use this brush to help you blend out cut the crease looks – the pointed tip will prevent over blending and keep colors where they're supposed to go.
This brush is perfect for smaller eyes and detail work. I have so many favorites! Sedona Lace is my brand of choice and I am addicted to collecting them.
So I own the LY38 and 38a from Louise Young, the Hakuhodo s100 pointed crease brush that comes in the set, the MAC226... Oh, and did I mention I am also obsessed with the face brush equivalent - the tulip contour brush? (That's another review...) Anyways, although not the same in softness (common guys, this is one affordable work-horse!) I've just ordered 3 more of these for my kit as well. It's the same in texture as my MAC224's hairs so it measures up with pro-quality and it does the job it's supposed to EFFORTLESSLY. No wonder these sell out like hotcakes! I actually reach for these more because it gets the job done faster due to its size. The ones mentioned above are smaller in shape so takes a few extra swipes to get the effect I want.
This brush is perfect for getting right into the crease and its super soft does not shed and picks up shadow color perfectly.
Since I've bought this brush (3months ago) its all I use for applying shadow to my crease even though I have many brushes this one just works so well and it keeps it's shape when you wash it, it doesn't fray or shed...Sedona lace puts Mac to shame!
Love this brush like all my other works awesome in the crease I also use it for my lower lash line eyeshadow applies it right how I like it

Once the tape starts, the show can't stop. Armed with only a 1979 boombox, performer Hannah Starr plays along with the mixtape and brings the audience along for the ride in this (sort of) solo show. Through characters, sketch, and song Hannah reveals a world in which constant noise is the norm, success is mandatory, and the quest for peace is never-ending. Boombox answers that nagging question we've all had: "What happens when your scene partner is a cassette tape?"

Just Buffalo Literary Center could not survive without the support of donors. Thanks to the generosity of the following, Just Buffalo has risen to the top, earning national recognition as one of the leading literary centers in the nation. Our deepest gratitude is extended to everyone listed here.
Writer. Lover. Grandmother.
Olga Karman was born in Havana, Cuba and left in 1960, two years after the triumph of the Revolution and just months after the night she and a handful of fellow students had stopped Fidel Castro's car on a remote country bridge to plead that he not close their University. Olga attended Connecticut College and Harvard University, where she earned her Ph.D. in Latin American literature. After moving to Buffalo in 1976, she taught at Nichols School before joining the D'Youville College faculty, where she taught for almost 3 decades. During those years she became a Hispanic community activist.
"Just Buffalo opened doors for me. I was among the first to be given the opportunity to read poetry at the Allentown Community Center, where Just Buffalo was based in the 1970s. It was my first time to have an audience, my first time to tell others—and others were responding! I was filled with energy and the desire to write more. I felt my writing had value and was appreciated. I owe my beginnings in poetry to Just Buffalo, and I am very grateful."
One of Olga's favorite experiences at Just Buffalo was volunteering at the Just Buffalo table at The Elmwood Arts Festival. "Just Buffalo had a tent, a table, and I was given the opportunity to talk about Just Buffalo to whoever wanted to listen. I felt I was spreading the good news . . . all kinds of people . . . a beautiful, sunny day."
Richard Blanco's BABEL appearance was another highlight. "I met Richard Blanco at the Breadloaf Writers' Conference 15 years ago. We hit it off right away and decided to do an impromptu reading. Just the two of us. When I learned Richard was coming to BABEL, I just about fainted. It was a wonderful reunion and a uniquely "Cuban-American-Just Buffalo" experience!"
In 2014, Olga helped develop the Stadnitski Gardens Senior Writing Club. "For years, I've served on boards of directors (including Just Buffalo). I sat in rooms and helped make decisions. I wanted something additional now. I wanted to get out there physically—to be doing work in a community. [This program] three of us JB board members created was a dream opportunity. Seniors deserve to have their voices heard. [Our work together] built incredible trust and opened the floodgates. 'Just write,' we tell them! And isn't this a part of Just Buffalo's credo? 'Just Read, Just Write, Just Dream, Just Buffalo.'"
"I will give even after the day I die [referencing the Creeley Society and her commitment to Just Buffalo in her estate plans]. I believe in Just Buffalo's mission. 100%! When I saw BABEL outgrowing the auditorium at Babeville, I fell in love with Buffalo all over again. Not only do I believe in our mission, but our community believes in it. I want to continue to be a part of Just Buffalo and to contribute in any way I can."

What I'm working on – Well, between the ground hog and the 70 degree days we've had, it's obvious Spring is coming. I have mixed feelings. I like Spring. It's invigorating. I'm excited that we're in a house now and not an apartment, so I can have a garden. But Spring doesn't last long before turning into Summer and I just sit around being hot and miserable.
Oh well, I'll worry about Summer in a couple months. This week, I was moved to make some Easter designs. Easter follows the first day of Spring pretty closely this year. Better get a jump on those eggs.
What I'm playing – I've been playing a LOT of Banished. It's a city-building strategy game and the "plot" (really just a premise, there's no story at all) is that you've got a small group of people banished to the wilderness and you've got to help them survive. This kind of game is pretty great if you're a control freak like me. Ever feel like things are getting out of hand in real life? Start ordering a bunch of little digital people to gather wood and build houses. Manage their resources through the winter. Make them build little farms and raise little chickens. It's extremely satisfying. It's a good way to kill a couple hours but walk away feeling like you accomplished something.
What I'm reading – After two months on the hold list at the library, I finally have this bad boy in my possession:
Oh yes. I am so ready to throw all of my stuff away.
I've seen a whole lot of people jumping on that KonMari train and I've decided I need it in my life. The husband and I moved out of our apartment and into a (rental) house this past July. I thought I was purging SO much stuff. Yet… as I unpacked, it started to feel like we had even less room. (And in some cases that was very much true. Our kitchen is surprisingly tiny.) I've started to feel a lot of anxiety about how much stuff we have. I kind of feel like I can't really enjoy the things I have that I love because there's so much other stuff choking it out. And you know, we're grown ups now. I'd like to investing in NICE things. Real furniture. Window treatments. Art for the walls. But I have to clear the junk first.
I'm already halfway through the book, and yeah… a lot of it is a little kooky woo-woo. Thanking your stuff before tossing it out, holding things and waiting for the joy… and there's that whole bit about how hard your socks work. But I think that might be the best method for me. I hang on to so much stuff because I get so weirdly sentimental about things. Maybe if I just took the time to kind of ceremoniously "let go" rather than just tossing it out, I can clear up those weird emotional attachments. We'll see. I've still got to finish reading (I'm taking lots of notes) and then I'll clear some time in my schedule to get to work.
Coming This March: The obligatory KonMari Step One "pile of clothes" blog post!

Reliable focus
Staying focused is a matter of reminding yourself. Can you find a way to remind yourself, again and again, of why you're doing what you do?
Sure you can. There are plenty of ways to direct your attention back to your purpose when you feel it wandering off.
The more intensely you can feel that purpose, and the more quickly you can call up that feeling, the more successfully you'll be able to stay focused. So do yourself a favor, and practice.
Spend some quiet time, away from the distractions, and enjoy truly feeling the substance of your most treasured desires. As you do, make note of precisely how it feels, to you, to be connected in a positive way with those desires.
Feel yourself living and experiencing the richness of life that will come from the fulfillment of your desires. Make that reason, that purpose, a palpable part of who you are.
Then, when you return to the world of confusion and distraction, choose to call up those positive feelings. When you wish to improve your focus, learn to be the one who can reliably deliver it.

Posted: 14-06-2017 In: Driving Tips
While the idea of going for a long drive on a warm and sunny day sounds appealing, driving in a hot car can cause a number of problems. This is why you should look to stay cool when driving in warm temperatures and these tips will be of considerable benefit.
Ensure your car is serviced
If you know that you have a big journey in a warm month or area coming up, make sure your car is serviced. Breaking down in hot temperatures can be very uncomfortable, so you want to avoid this if you can. Having your vehicle serviced will hopefully keep it in great condition, allow you to stay cool and minimise the likelihood of issues or problems arising.
Make sure you stay hydrated
Driving in a car in hot weather can become uncomfortable and you may feel that you start to feel tired or drowsy. This is because you are becoming dehydrated and the best solution is to drink water.
If you are going for a lengthy drive when the weather is warm, it makes sense to have a couple of bottles of waters, large ones that hold a litre or two. While you may think that any liquid is of benefit, it is best to avoid drinks with caffeine in it, because caffeine is a diuretic which can cause your body to lose water.
Have your battery checked
When the temperature rises, your car battery is placed under additional strain. You probably don't want to mess about with your battery too much but if you can and you know what you are doing, give it a once over to ensure to ensure everything is in good condition. If you don't know what you are doing, hire a professional to do this job for you.
Clean your windscreen
When the sun is bright, dirt and scratches on your windscreen can obscure your view, compromising your safety. This is why you should look to clean your windscreen and mirrors on a regular basis during periods of pleasant weather.
Have an emergency kit in the vehicle
It is advisable for most motorists to have an emergency kit in their vehicle but when it comes to driving in warm temperatures, this is definitely important. First aid material, non-perishable snacks, a torch, additional clothes, water and equipment which help you examine the car or highlight your need of assistance is important and will help to keep you safe in the event of an issue or incident arising.
Other tips to bear in mind when driving in warm conditions include:
- Having a charger for your phone
- Having spare cash for emergencies
- Checking your fuel situation and knowing where the nearest garage is
- Review the coolant system, oil levels and all fluid levels
- Make sure your tyres are properly inflated and in good condition
- Also, make sure you service your air conditioner before heading off on a long and warm journey.

While various medical specialties treat eczema patients, care for these patients is largely fragmented and disorganized. Moreover, standardized treatment protocols that incorporate upcoming eczema therapies and emerging guidelines have yet to be established. Thus, there is both a need and an opportunity to equip clinicians to succeed in this novel and changing era of eczema care. The National Eczema Association's (NEA) strategic plan—developed through extensive discussions with patients who have atopic dermatitis and their caregivers, industry, and providers representing different specialties—called for the creation of an interdisciplinary coalition to steer this initiative. The Coalition United for Better Eczema Care (CUBE-C) is a network of cross-specialty leaders working to help construct an educational curriculum based on standards of effective treatment and disease management.

Hello everyone:) Today I would like to throw the spotlight on Interred:Chronicles of the Interred, Book One Marilyn Almodovar! Please check out this awesome read and see the fun chat between fellow Time Benders Jack(i.e.The Sexy Warrior:O) and Baxter!
Author Marilyn Almodovar
Marilyn Almodóvar is the author of a series of YA paranormal novels. Born in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, Lyn is a lover of words whose reading tastes range from Victorian novels to the books of Stephen King. Her favorite past-times have always been reading and writing, two activities that let her escape to other worlds.
It was this love that propelled her to choose Theater and French as majors in University, with a minor in English Victorian Literature. Lyn lived for almost a decade in England followed by three years in France before returning home to the States. A self-confessed citizen of the world, she is fluent in English, French and Spanish, with basic knowledge of the Italian language.
Lyn could happily exist breathing the clean air of Narnia, trapped in a cupboard under the stairs with Harry, fighting alongside Captain Jack Sparrow, doing an internship in Torchwood, or traveling around time and space with the Doctor…as long as she can have Mr. Spock, Captain Kirk and Captain Mal as companions.
Lyn currently lives in Central Florida with her French husband, English-born eldest son, and French-born youngest son. Her debut YA Novel, Interred, was published by Iambe books on 01/22/2013. The follow up Fissure will be published Winter 2013.

As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Baxter inherits a pendant that will change her life. Connected to the pendant is a dark and mysterious young man named Declan Ashdown. Trapped in a Time loop for the past 122 years, Declan needs Baxter's help to escape. The only problem is, she has no idea how to do it.
To acquire the power she needs to free him, she'll become one of the Interred, those whose Magical abilities emerge as they come of age. When she does, she'll discover that Declan isn't the only one interested in the fact that she's a Time Bender.
As the Interment arrives, Baxter knows this will be no Sweet Sixteen. A vengeful relative and ruthless Council are determined to control her. Declan's powerful and charming descendant, Jack Ashdown, claims he can save her. She'll soon have to decide who she can trust, and how to master her new abilities before Time runs out.

BaxJax: This is so creepy.
JackTheSexyWarrior: I know right, why are you following us, Declan?
Declan: I'm not following you. I got an invite to this chat.
BaxJax: It wasn't from me.
JackTheSexyWarrior: I didn't invite you either.

[Declan has left the chat]
JackTheSexyWarrior: Finally, we're alone.
BaxJax: Great!
JackTheSexyWarrior: *waggles eyebrows*
BaxJax: STOP THAT!!! We're here to let the readers know a bit about the next installment in the Chronicles of the Interred series, Fissure.
JackTheSexyWarrior: Are you sure? I thought it was all top secret. *shifty eyes*
BaxJax: Well, we're not going to let the cat out of the bag. So, we can just share one tiny detail about the book.
JackTheSexyWarrior: It's going to be awesome.
BaxJax: That sounds a bit conceited.
JackTheSexyWarrior: Okay, I'm going to be awesome.
BaxJax: Seriously?
JackTheSexyWarrior: Okay, so what do you propose?
BaxJax: Do I have to think about everything? What was your favorite thing in Fissure?
JackTheSexyWarrior: We get to see a bit more of the New York Council.
BaxJax: I liked that we made new friends.
JackTheSexyWarrior: Also we find out the importance of the Fissures.
BaxJax: And how much more annoying you are, when you think you're right.
JackTheSexyWarrior: And how much more stubborn you get, when you know I'm right but don't want to give in.
BaxJax: One last question.
JackTheSexyWarrior: *quirks brow*
BaxJax: Is it true that you beg our writer to include a cape for you to fly with?
JackTheSexyWarrior: I think that's all the time we have tonight >:]
BaxJax: Wasn't she going to add a big J to it?
JackTheSexyWarrior: Not funny.
BaxJax: I think that was it, a big J and the cape had to be gold…
BaxJax: Aw, come on, Jack. I'm only joking.
JackTheSexyWarrior: You're not funny.
BaxJax: It's not like I'm telling everyone about the time that you fell to the ground after trying to fly the first time… that didn't even make it into Interred.

Corus Entertainment Created List of Vikings Episodes
Vikings is one of the creations of Corus Entertainment and an international movie series originated from Irish and Canadian. The Corus Entertainment takes five productions to introduce it all around the world and it ended up a success.
It is great to have some series that happened in real life; a historical event that is very known. Like any other successful TV series, Vikings involves a lot of people, like Arturo Interian for example, the one that is in charge of the production. Based on the story line, it has been a success to attract viewers. Most people in Canada and all from the west really like the series. This encouraged readers and followers to go deeper into the story, and, they make some noise whenever there's a twist. As expected, they're a great source of information to other fans, with all the spoilers of the coming episodes of the current season.
Vikings Season 5 Needs Parental Guidance When you are under 17 years of Age
Michael Hirst did a good job creating a good series and making it more flawlessly good for viewers. This series is intended for 17 above age group due to gore and violence. Minors are discouraged to watch the series. Micheal Hirst won the academy award and it's three of the Elizabeth awards: Emmy and the Golden Globe. The saga continues which brings forth the new historical story that's filled with great adventure in the era of Dark Ages.
Short Story During the Dark Ages of Vikings
During the dark ages of Vikings, they were once bandits, who raided villages, city and kingdom for money. Some would like take certain task like search and kill or search and eliminate. Some are bandits for hire, like they offer some services as thugs and goons. Some bandits turn into king's royal guard and end up being loyal or seeking for power and take the throne.
After bandits are increasing in numbers, one of the kings of Ireland call them Vikings. They can now build an empire after the king named their group. Each and every Viking have distinctive principles to what they follow. Some Vikings love to rule or build a kingdom but not successful because of disloyalty and usually ends up a rebellion.
Some Vikings are successful in building an empire because some men are brothers and sisters and more of a family. It says that blood is thicker than water. Vikings bloodline can help them grow to become an empire, which is one of the reasons that they are faithful and loyal to the empire.
Not only I will talk here about this Season 5 but I will also leave here the venom streaming online where you can read something but if you want to watch why not make a premium subscription to this legit site like this history Vikings Full Episodes, Video & More

People who want to receive initiation are encouraged to "prepare their field" by becoming familiar with Paramahamsa Hariharananda's teachings. A good place to start is to attend a Kriya Yoga public lecture, read the Kriya Yoga Institute on-line Soul Culture magazine, or purchase one of the books written by Paramahamsa Hariharananda or Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Giri. Books and Soul Culture and information on the linegae can be found atwww.kriya.org.
The night before initiation and the day of initiation, one will want to avoid unnecessary talking and watching TV in order to keep the mind contemplative. Also eat a light dinner the night before and very light breakast the day of initiation.
The Sacred Instruction:
The Tradition of Kriya Yoga Purification and Blessing Ceremony
The ancient tradition for learning the royal science of Kriya Yoga meditation begins with purification. This entails participation in a holy ceremony in which the spine and the body are purified. Each seeker is initiated on an individual basis through the direct touch of a teacher of this lineage. The teacher directly infuses the triple divine qualities of sound, vibration, and light into the initiate. Through this process, the seeker will learn to perceive the inner light of the soul, hear divine sound, and feel the divine movement sensation all over the body. Sacred mantra are chanted throughout the ceremony with adequate explanations in English. We want to say thanks to the electricians at www.electricianatlanta.net for making our annual yoga party possible.
In the beginning of the ceremony, basic techniques of calmness are taught thereby preparing the seeker for the infusion of divine energy. Initiation into the Holy Stream of Divine Consciousness is attained by overcoming the internal chatter of the mind. This enables calming the thought processes and merging into the Divine in the form of Sound, Vibration, and Light.
The instruction ceremony consists of the following phases:
1. Purification of body, spine, and senses
2. Infusion of triple divine qualities
3. Bessings-flower
4. Oblations of breath to the fire
5. Affirmation
6. Offerings to God and Masters
7. Sprinkling of the holy water-of-peace
Instruction ceremony participation covers:
* All ceremonial purifications
* Teachings of the 1st Kriya techniques
The first phase of the ceremony purifies the body of the seeker. Further purification ensues from the breath oblations in the fire ceremony. This fire ceremony is outwardly symbolic, but causes cleansing to occur at more subtle, deeper levels. The depth of purification depends upon the desire and receptivity of the seeker. At the completion of the ceremony, instruction on the 1 st-Kriya level of techniques is given so that the aspirants can continue the process of purification and meditate on their own. Several different techniques of Kriya Yoga are revealed by the instructor. This entire ceremony, including the infusion of triple divine qualities, is performed by an authorized teacher or a monk of this lineage.
What to Bring:
1) Offerings: The seeker offers three symbolical gifts to the instructor as offerings to God and the Masters. The three offerings are:
* five fruits representing the fruits gained from activities throughout life;
* five flowers which represent the five senses; and
* a financial donation ($150) (cash or check made payable to Kriya Yoga Institute).
2) Paper and pen (optional)
The above listed Offerings represent the causal, astral, and gross body, respectively.
What to Wear:
Please keep in mind that this is a spiritual gathering and dress should be modest. Clothes should be loose and comfortable. We ask that you not wear shorts or blue jeans. Skirts (for women) should be calf length or longer. Shirts should have elbow length sleeves and should loosely cover the contours of the upper torso. Do not wear sleeveless shirts, or shirts/blouses with scoop or low-cut necklines. Please refrain from wearing tight or aerobics type clothing as well.
Logistics: The seeker is asked to fill out a form before taking instruction. Please arrive at promptly to allow yourself time to fill out this form before the initiation ceremony begins. The seeker will also be asked to not to divulge the technique to others in order to maintain and uphold the purity of the teachings. Avoid a big breakfast the day of initiation. The seeker will want to wear loose comfortable, modest clothing. If possible, it is best to avoid wearing contacts and big jewelry.
Follow-up: The new initiate is also required to attend the follow-up meditation sessions with the instructor (guided meditations).
Time needed: There will be a Pubic Lecture on Friday evening where one can hear more details about the Kriya Technique, Kriya Initiation and ask questions.
The Initiation is given on a Saturday morning and takes up all morning into early afternoon. The beginning of the techniques is then given on Saturday evening.There are required follow up meditations on Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. One needs to free up their entire weekend for this process. This is very necessary as it allows the new initiate to absorb the techniques and the Teacher to observe the new initate to ensure they have learned the Kriya technique properly.

2608-5508 Joyce Street, Vancouver
The nearby master-planned community of Collingwood Village, built by Westbank, is considered a model transit-oriented development that has delivered on expectations for the developer, transit authority, municipality, and the community. However, this did not lead to redevelopment of the area immediately surrounding the Joyce-Collingwood Skytrain station. Now, the City of Vancouver's Joyce-Collingwood Station Precinct Plan seeks to address this in conjunction with TransLink's planned upgrade of the station to improve service, add capacity, and accommodate future B Line service to UBC. Joyce by Westbank will be a prominent landmark in the quadrant immediately surrounding the station, helping to create a stronger, more cohesive neighbourhood.

SCOTT Storch is a hot record producer, but some of his lady friends are cold. Storch had a birthday party for himself last month in Miami at the nightclub Mansion. A friend tells us, "He's upset that none of his famous female friends – Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears – bothered to show up. And he even gave Lindsay $1 million in diamonds over New Year's! Kelly Rowland was supposed to come and sing a special 'Happy Birthday' to him and she was a no-show, too." A rep for Storch said, "Scott was not upset at all – he had Derek Jeter and Ludacris there, and a naked girl even popped out of the cake."

Surat is a small rural town on the Balonne River, approximately 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Roma on the Carnarvon Highway in South West Queensland. It is 450 kilometres (280 mi) west of Brisbane. At the 2011 census, Surat had a population of 426.© Wikipedia
Would you like to enter your own description & more? It's free, click HERE.
Surat is lovely
little country town between St George and Roma on the Carnarvon Highway. There
is a small Caravan park in the middle of town and across the road from the
Balonne River. You will need to book and
pay at the Hotel for sites. There are a number of small
cabins at the park and the grounds are
neat and tidy. The Royal Hotel Motel also has accommodation and meals with a bottle shop for takeaway drinks.
Surat was
the site of a Cobb and Co. changing station and this now houses a great museum
with stories of travel in the early days and history of the area. This old timber building also has an information centre,
regional Art Gallery, Library and freshwater aquarium. A gold coin donation is requested for a look
around the museum and I believe this is well worth the money. The displays are set out beautifully with
plenty of informative signs and poster as well as newspaper clippings to give you a
real sense of life during Cobb and Co travel.
sealed walking track runs along the river bank - lined with play equipment, exercise
stations (including a table tennis table, rock climbing station), children's
playgrounds and a viewing platform with views
over the river through magnificent gum trees.
Public toilets are available along the path.
We also found public toilets behind the
town's administrative building on the main road. Nice wide streets and plenty of parking with
friendly locals greeting us as we walked to the museum.
On the over
side of the Bridge as you head towards Roma is a large free camping area. We called in to have a look about lunch time
and it was already occupied with about 30 caravans - walking distance to town. Large space, lots of shade, toilet block and
close to the river - great spot for fishing.

Messing about on the river in the Deepings Great British Raft off
A quintessentially British Deepings Raft Race has been described as a big success by its organisers.
On Sunday, 31 teams took to the River Welland in their rafts which were themed around things that are typically British and the competitors were cheered on by a huge crowd.
The theme for this year's annual event certainly encouraged teams, which were made up of two to eight people, to design all manner of wondrous craft, including one designed like Del Boy's three-wheeled Reliant Regal van from Only Fools and Horses, while another looked like a tennis court.
This year's event, entitled The Great British Raft Off, raised cash for Stamford-based charity The Evergreen Care Trust, which helps anyone who needs befriending or advocacy services and The Deepings Youth Group, an organisation supporting young people aged from 11 to 18 years by helping them to become involved in community projects and other local events.
To keep the crowds entertained, there was also a wide selection of stalls, a funfair, two bus bars, a treasure hunt and classic cars and bikes.
Andy Pelling, who commentated on the event and is one of the organisers, said: "I would like to thank all the businesses that got involved with sponsorship and the public for turning up and watching it.
"It was at least as successful, if not better, than the last three or four years."
Andy said the teams who had entered this year had been very creative in their raft designs.
Although it is not yet known how much was raised for charity, Andy said he expects that it will be around £6,000 as that is the amount that has been fundraised through the event in the past few years.
Rafts set off in pairs during the event and Deepings Round Table completed the main race in the quickest time of 11:46.
Winners of the fun race were DNA Scaffolding The Gene Team which clocked in a time of 19:28, while the youth race winners were DSJ Royals who managed to complete the course in 8:35 - almost five minutes faster than second placed Deepings Rugby Club U13s.
Taking home the Bruce Tokens Memorial Race trophy was Tokens' Tribute who managed a time of 19:19.
Best dressed raft award was given to The Brits, whose team members dressed as famous people throughout history such as Robin Hood.
Some of the sponsors to this year's events included The Boundary and River Restaurant, which is based in Market Deeping and Garford Farm Machinery Ltd in Deeping St James.

After greater than a month of thrilling and exhausting motion, the final two groups are left standing: India and Sri Lanka. i) A used white ball. White balls are mainly used in limited overs cricket , particularly in matches played at night, underneath floodlights (left). The Recreation involves the fundamental ideas and talent of traditional cricket: operating, batting, fielding and bowling, with teams in leagues competing in opposition to different teams comparable in capacity.
Suspended captain Steve Smith breaks down in tears after arriving back in Sydney, as he apologises for his function within the ball-tampering scandal that has rocked Australian cricket. Australia's Nathan Lyon might be fined as much as half his match price after being charged over his drop-ball send-off of South Africa's AB de Villiers on day four.
Australian vice-captain David Warner has been cleared to tackle South Africa in the second Take a look at after accepting three demerit factors and a heavy fine for his position in a stairway scuffle in Durban. Darren Lehmann has introduced he will step down as Australian cricket coach at the finish of the fourth Test match against South Africa.
Oui, lors de l'opération NATO Recreation Over. Je jouais du tambourin avec une fanfare à 500 mètres de là où se déroulait l'action. On a été encerclés par la police équestre puis ils nous ont parqués derrière des barrières, à l'abri des regards, avant de nous emmener aux casernes à Bruxelles.
Debate is raging within the cricket world over the way forward for the worldwide Twenty20 however, as Steve Wilson writes, it would be folly to throw out the global sport for yet extra home expansion. Action Sports has 30 motion cricket amenities across the nation, consisting of 105 worldwide quality courts. It's easy to join and learn how to play. Come and join a staff, register in a league or just come alongside for the social atmosphere.

We all know the saying, How to win friends and influence people..... yeah. Let's just say I'm killing it in that department.
After stepping in to hold the horse for the farrier, helping him get his job done and possibly stepping on some toes by offering, it seems like I have a knack for pissing people off lately. But the thing is, I'm not doing it intentionally. If they are getting butt hurt by this, can you imagine how much more pissed off and butt hurt they might be if I were trying? Yeah Baby! That's what I'm talkin about. lmao
Soooo here's the dish on things. I'm at the barn the other day and there's this paint horse in the wash rack. No big deal right? M'kay, well said horse is tied but then the owner/trainer or whatever we want to call him shows up with feed and apparently wormer. No big deal, right? Meh, so far.
Mr hotshot and his friend unload the feed and proceed over to the washrack to worm the horse. Honestly I have never seen a clusterfuck the likes of what was to come, in all my years with horses. Now in all fairness this guy is fairly young, so I might be kind enough to chalk it up to youth and ignorance. After yesterday I throw a healthy dose of ego into the mix and that explains a whole lot more.
The hotshot and friend go to worm the horse but first somehow and for whatever reason, they put a rope over the horses neck, wrapping it around the rail and tying it off. So the guy steps in and puts the wormer in the mares mouth and All. Hell. Breaks. Loose.
The mare sits back against the ropes, the lasso tightens up, she hits the door behind her, lunges up and forward going over the rail with both front legs. Now she's hung up with two legs on each side of the bar and a whole lotta tension on both ropes, one of them choking her. Her head was tucked up under her like a horse in Rolkur to give everyone the idea of her position. I thought she was going to somersault herself up and over the rail and personally she might have been better off if she had.
With the horse hung up, choking and not exactly 'feeling the love', one of the guys asks the other one if he has a blade to cut one of the ropes. The brilliant 'guest' says, "Give her the rest of the wormer before you worry about that." So the genius steps in and tries again. He shoves the tube in her mouth, gives her the rest of the wormer and we're set for round 2. The mare goes up and back, freeing herself of being halfway over the bar, but still choking because of the rope.
I'd seen enough and went back into the barn to clean my stalls and set out feed for my two. For everyome wondering WHY??? Why didn't you step in and help? Part of it is reading people. Not everyone wants or is open to help. A lot of us let our ego or emotion get in the way, closing our minds off to new ways of doing things. There IS a better way to do things.

Forget About Those Leaked Downloads, Listen To A Single From U2's New Album on MySpace Music
by Erick Schonfeld
I'm not sure if this was moved up in response to leaked copies of U2's newest album, No Line On The Horizon spreading across the Internet, but the entire the album will be streamed for free at MySpace Music. The player in U2's MySpace Music page featires a single, but if you click on the top album in the sidebar, you can hear the entire thing. MySpace says that the entire album will be streamed from February 20 to March 3, with links to pre-order it.
This is akin to Radiohead offering a free download of their album In Rainbows for a limited time, except without the download. It is good marketing, at it helps the band try to keep control over distribution. Although, that Bittorrent cat is already out of the bag. (The unreleased album leaked out and has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times by fans who just can't wait for U2's perfectly planned release schedule.
Update: MySpace says the timing of the streamed release was planned all along. Listening to it now. U2 still rocks (or maybe I'm just old).

|Santa's Xmas Surprise
And, oooh, am I excited about that. Not being able to ride trails is a great motivator to make you appreciate the trails you have "in your back yard" again. So while others might be tiring of riding the same old, same old, for me, they will all be new once again when I return. That's another positive thing I can look forward to. That "new trail smell".
I have a lot of goals for 2012 on my to do list, so I hope to be putting a lot of miles on my new bike as well. My ultimate goal is to do the Fool's Gold in GA in September. I have wanted to do this race since I heard about it roughly 3 years ago. It will be more climbing in any single ride than I have ever done in my life but the atmosphere is supposed to be wonderful and the race is really well supported from what I've read in past reviews. There will also be after race music and great food and beautiful scenery. Races with food and music at the end are my kind of thing. Probably one of the main reasons why I choose to participate in most of them. However, I have no illusions that it will not be extremely hard, but I know I can do it. It could take me anywhere from 6-8 hours to do the 50 miles with all the elevation. Oh the elevation. But, did I mention there will be food and a party atmosphere at the end? Yes, I believe I did. I should mention it again. Not so much for your sake, but for mine.
This will also be the first time I actually do any significant traveling to participate in an event like this so much of this experience will be new for me. I signed up on the day registration opened for fear that I would get shut out since this year this is the final race in the Ultra Endurance series. That means lots of competitive people will be there. People that I will probably see at the starting line only. And maybe on the podium. Assuming they don't pack up and leave before I finish my own race and I miss them getting their awards. Sell out did not happen as I expected and now I kind of feel silly that I entered so early. But, it's done and now I have a commitment. The truth is though that my racing adventures will always simply be for me. I will never be the competitive type like a "real" racer. I know this because 1) I never get nervous or stressed out before races 2) I don't really care about the competition or how I place amongst strangers I don't know. This is why I prefer endurance racing to any other. These types of races are a competition against oneself. Others just happen to be there. So from what I've heard and read, those are two traits that many "real" racers have that make them very successful. Nerves and giving a crap. I think I will pass on that. I just like to push myself for the sake of it. The longer the time on the bike, the better I say. And if you feed me at the end, I am golden.
Ironically, another race I've signed up for 2012 did sell out in just 10 measly hours which is something I never expected. I made it into that one, but didn't want to take the chance of that happening here since I have my heart set on this GA event. So Georgia, here I come.
Beginning in January, my plan is to ride, ride, ride as much as I can. But, for now, I get to stare at my new gift in the living room, and imagine how cool it will be when I finally get to take it for a spin. *Sigh*.

Tifa Lockhart should be number one, she fights bare fisted against Huge monsters in the Final Fantasy Universe, and has to put up with Clouds' self loathing self in Advent Children, and does not dress like a skank.
I don't see my female shepard, this list is clearly wrong then.

Posted on August 7, 2012
This weekend was textbook. And by textbook I mean perfect. And by perfect I mean summer. And by summer I mean this. And by this I mean Coldplay concert followed by a weekend in Montauk. Follow that?
Oh I'm sorry. Did you come here thinking this was a food blog? You mean, you're not here to look at a blog version of my "Summertime 2012" Facebook album?
Yeah, I forgot about the food too.
Food stuff is coming this week! On another note (because one sentence on food was enough), who has been to a Coldplay concert? Why didn't anyone tell me I was going to melt into an emotional, happy mess walking out of the stadium? You put on a good show, Chris.
But really (going back to that food thing because apparently I have attention issues), the blog is going to change a bit moving forward. It will be a little less about me drinking Bud Light Lime on the weekends with my friends and a little more about what I started this thing for: the food.
I hope to inundate you with vegetarian recipes, food science, restaurant reviews, industry news, and even some cool apps that I find to be helpful while navigating this wacky (but awesome) vegetarian world.
Hang with me?

- Sun, 10:44: Finally had an empty house w/o kids. Me: Thinking we might actually have an intimate moment (10-15 min?). Her: Wanna go to Wal-Mart, and...?
- Sun, 22:01: The BEST feelings in the whole world are the ones shared with you! ❤❤❤❤❤ https://t.co/vvIoTVFmVX
The entire world could be crashing all around me, but an intimate moment spent with the love of my life makes everything all right again. I just wish those moments came along a little more frequently. Maybe life wouldn't seem to suck quite so much.

Last week I decided that I can't do this trip right now. There are a number of reasons - teaching Seminary, work picking up, grandkids who've asked me not to go, but mostly it's only 8 weeks after my surgery. I don't recover well from surgery, and my doctors have all prepared me that this one might be a little tougher than normal. Don't doctors normally tell you how you'll fly through and not to worry? Well, I am very grateful for doctors who tell me the truth and they both have warned me that this one will take a while to recover from. If I'm not supposed to drive for 4-6 weeks, I'm a little concerned about driving every day for four months only 8 weeks afterward.
As I prayed about what to do and thought about it, I kept saying, "But I WANT to!" Just like any spoiled child who hates being told "No," I still wanted it my way. But finally, when I had to make a decision about what to do about teaching Seminary next year, I just decided that I'd need to put off the trip for a while. Then every time that I said aloud, "I'm not going on the trip right now," the Spirit just confirmed to me that it was the right decision. My heart got warmer and started pounding harder, which is my affirmation signal that I've done the right thing. I love being able to have that confirmation available to me!
I'm not scared about the surgery, but it has been running through my mind many times that I need to be 'ready.' I feel very strongly that God has told me that everything will be fine, no matter what the outcome happens to be. So, I've been going along with that and feeling comfortable about whatever happens.
As I've prayed and thought about life in this past month, I realized that there were certain things that I wanted to do and to eat(!) before surgery, just in case it was the last time. I'm a planner, what can I say? So, here are some of the things that I got to do that were on my list of things that I really wanted to do:
- I went to my grandson Tommy's school play and got to see him recite his portion of the play perfectly and to sing some really cute songs about bugs.
- I got to spend time on Easter with all of my family - all four sons, three daughters-in-law, and four of the five grandkids. I'd spoken with Finn the week before, so I've been able to send love to all of them.
- I had some really good conversations with all three daughters-in-law, my mom and my siblings.
- Bob held my hand and put his arm around me at the movies and when we went to the Temple, without my initiating it! (You have no idea what a big deal this is!)
- We've prepared good food many times, had the missionaries over for dinner and got to visit friends for other meals.
- We went to a wedding, visited the temple, went window shopping, all fun things.
- I helped two first time home-buyers buy their first homes which is really wonderful. I also was able to help a seller through a really tough time when a pipe burst in their house while we were under contract.
- I attended some awesome classes and got excited about working on my business to become even better.
- I've been able to teach my terrific Seminary students each day and as an added extra blessing, over the past couple of weeks, I've had the privilege of hearing almost every student pray for me in opening or closing prayer. That's an amazing gift.
- I had a complaint on my business and a friend's baby died in a choking accident, so I felt some difficult feelings, too. But I think life is about feeling all of the emotions, not just happy ones.
- I enjoyed the wonder of Spring finally coming; daffodils, tulips and crocus pushing through the ground, blossoms popping out on the trees, lambs and little calves in the fields around our home.
- I got to be a speaker in a Relief Society meeting. (That's the women's group in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.)
- I got to sing in the Frederick Stake Choir for the Easter program and enjoyed learning three more portions of Handel's Messiah.
- I was able to serve others in many ways.
- I received some wonderful compliments from friends, one that especially affirmed one of my core beliefs about the type of person I want to be.
- I got to be a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend, a Visiting Teacher, a Seminary Teacher, a speaker, someone who helps someone in need. All things that I love doing.
- I got to walk a labyrinth.
- I ate felafel, lobster, a good steak, aebelskiver, See's candy caramels and many more things that I love.
- I got to go to the movies a couple of times - once with Bob, once with Tommy.
- Tom and Nick and I played board games together and laughed together a lot.
- I got to play with Maddison's hair for a little while until she went to play again. Plus I got to see her without her two front teeth.
- I was creative and felt really good about finishing three quilt tops and I'm nearly finished with two others.
- I was able to watch all four sessions of General Conference for our Church and feel spiritually fed.
- I've listened to good music, read a couple of books, done a bunch of crossword and other puzzles.
- I got a manicure and pedicure!
- I've worked, I've played, I've loved others and felt much love from others to me. I've read and studied, learned new things, met new people and been entertained. I've felt happy and sad and grieved with others. I've felt proud and disappointed. I've felt gratitude and felt blessed over and over again.
So now, as I go to have surgery on Tuesday, I don't plan on dying (and my doctors all think everything should be fine), but I feel at peace with whatever happens. I've done so many things that I've wanted to do. I'm a little sad about not taking the trip starting in June, but I know it will happen eventually. Just not right now.
I bought a book at Barnes and Noble the other day called "The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die" by John Izzo, Ph.D. The secrets he includes in the chapter headings are:
- Be True to Yourself
- Leave No Regrets
- Become Love
- Live the Moment
- Give More Than You Take
I haven't read the book yet, but I think I've done pretty well on all five of those topics. I have no regrets and I have been blessed to feel completely overwhelmed with love - both FROM friends and family and FOR them, too.
I do hope that I will be able to come and visit all of you soon. God bless you.
Much love.

The organisers of the Innerleithen Pipe Band Championships are excited about the quality of entries for this year's event.
The Championships will be held on September 12, again in the grounds of St Ronan's Primary School, Innerleithen.
To date, spectators will be entertained by some of the very best pipe bands from all over the South and Central Scotland.
Allan Johnston, the secretary of the St Ronan's Piping Society says;
"The site at St Ronan's is excellent, with good accommodation, parking and beer tent, side stalls with face painting, ice cream and hot snacks ... even pony rides. Pipe band enthusiasts will be treated to more than 27 performances from pipe bands at Grades 2, 3 and 4. There will also be an adult and juvenile drum major competition and music to suit all tastes, so we are looking forward to a big turnout from local people and visitors alike to enjoy the music."
Allan added: "I am also delighted to announce that our Chieftain for the 14th Innerleithen Pipe Band Championships will be Norman Scott. Despite being born in Peebles, at Kingsmeadows House when it was a wartime hospital, Norman has fully immersed himself in Innerleithen life and is a "Weel Kent Face" around the town. He was chosen as the town's Standard Bearer in 1967.
"Innerleithen Games Week has been Norman's passion for more than 53 years and in that time he has been an active and enthusiastic member of the Games Committee."
The Chieftain will be piped down to the school grounds from St Ronan's Road at about 10.45am on Saturday to take over the reins from last year's joint Chieftains Jean and Ian Gillie.
Norman will take the salute from the massed bands at 5pm and (weather permitting) will be saluted by the participating bands as they parade about 5.30pm from St Ronan's Road, Queen Street, Horsbrugh Street and High Street, to fall out in Hall Street.
As an added attraction to this year's event, the RSPBA Lothian & Borders Branch will be crowning their "Champion of Champions", the band who has won overall during the competitive season.
The competition will be fierce and the piping will be first-class, definitely an event not to miss.
Entry to the event will be £2 per person (£1 concession) and children under 16 are free. Parking will be £2 per car.

An unusual demonstration will feature horses and riders painted to show their muscles and bones at the Mare & Foal Sanctuary in Devon on September 15.
Equine anatomist Gillian Higgins will illustrate the workings of horses' musculoskeletal systems, allowing equestrians to ride, train and manage their animals more efficiently and effectively. Every bone and muscle group is drawn on the outside to give a unique perspective on what is happening inside.
She said: "They are such beautiful animals on the outside, but very few of us really knows what is going on under the skin.
"They are big and complex creatures and we expect to be able to jump on board without knowing what is going on to their bodies every time we do.
"By learning more about their anatomy and how the muscles, bones and ligaments work we can make sure we are doing everything we can to minimise the wear and tear riding, jumping, racing, eventing and hunting can cause.
With a rider in a skeleton body suit, it is possible to see clearly the interaction between horse and rider."
Gillian is a British Horse Society Senior Coach and professional sports therapist who has evented at International level.
The demonstration at the Mare & Foal Sanctuary's Coombe Park Visitor Centre near Totnes is ideal for all horse owners and riders, trainers, saddlers, therapists and farriers.
