Because of its significance as a port, the Confederates made several attempts to unshackle Washington from its Union occupiers.Thursday, September 6, 2012 marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Washington, the second attempt by the Confederate Army to liberate the town.
At day break on September 6, 1862, Confederate Maj. Stephen D. Pool, who previously directed the defense of Fort Macon, led 1,000 North Carolina Confederate infantry, cavalry, and artillery troops against a Union garrison of 1,200 men. The Confederates surprised Union pickets stationed on the west side of town near the Elmwood Plantation which today is the area west of Washington Street from the Tar River north to U.S. 264. After a brief skirmish, the North Carolina troops charged down Second Street while the cavalry rushed down Market. At the corner of Second and Bridge Streets, a Union battery was captured and the troops advanced further into town. Though surprised, the Union forces regrouped and attacked west down Main, Second, and Third Streets pushing the Confederates back as far as Bridge Street.
Meanwhile the Union gunboats, Picket and Louisiana, anchored abreast the town in the Tar River, engaged the Confederates by shelling the west end of town. Unexpectedly, the Picket's shell magazine exploded, sinking the gunboat and killing the captain and 19 of the crew. Today the remains of the Picket lie just west of the U.S. 17 Business bridge on the bottom of the Tar River.
After more than 2 hours of hard fighting, the Confederate forces withdrew. Confederate casualties were 31 killed, 30 wounded, and 24 taken prisoner, while the Union lost 26 killed, 55 wounded, and 12 captured. There were some reports of civilian casualties. Following the encounter, the union garrison was forced to strengthen the defenses around the town allowing them to maintain the occupation until they withdrew from Washington on April 30, 1864.

Brain game: Wachowski brothers – now sisters – challenge our perception of reality
Philosophers ask us to challenge "reality" as an intellectual exercise; only fanatics and visionaries like the filmmakers would try to live the challenge
Related topics
If it were any other brothers, the news would have been quite improbable. But since it was the Wachowski brothers, who have now made the transgender transition to become sisters, somehow it almost makes sense.
Hollywood director Andy Wachowski is now Lilly. Her brother and filmmaking partner Larry came out as Lana a couple years ago. Perhaps it would be difficult to find two brothers who are this close at such a deep human level – professionally and in so many other ways.
I am a big fan of the first Matrix sci-fi movie, less so the series that came after. Every philosophy student recognises the fundamental Cartesian premise of the film: the material "reality" as we know it through our five senses may be a complete fiction.
Rene Descartes uses the thought experiment of an all-powerful demon who deceives us by manufacturing a total illusion that we take to be the external world. This is sometime updated by contemporary philosophers with the "brain-in-the-jar" argument that the brain doesn't know it's a brain in a jar.
In their movie series, the Wachowski sisters repackaged this most famous of philosophical problems by imaging an all-powerful computer network called the Matrix that breeds millions of humans in artificial wombs to use them as batteries to power itself. But to keep them alive, it makes them believe they are leading normal lives in the late 20th century. Only an occasional computer glitch allows a few perceptive humans – philosophers, rebels, hackers, terrorists? – a sudden shock or insight that things are not what they seem.
If what we take to be reality can be a total illusion, other philosophers have worked down the "reality" chain to more specific areas. Thus personhood or human rights have been called legal fictions; numbers are logical fictions … It should not be surprising that a whole school of thought that inspires contemporary queer/gay/gender studies questions the reality of sexuality and traditional gender categories.
If these things are not real or at least highly fluid, why should we define – and confine - ourselves by the sex stated in our birth certificates?
Of course, philosophers only ask us to challenge "reality" as an intellectual exercise. Only rebels, fanatics and visionaries like the Wachowskis would try to live the challenge.

The pricing model is also know as Pay What You Want (with modification). The cost of the product is laid out in front of you and you get the choice to add gratuity to contribute to my time and efforts. My focus is to bring quality products to Pole Athletes and elevate the overall quality that is available to Polers all around. I'm confident that when you like Lasya products, you will come back and demand more. I want you to enjoy what you buy and leave me a tip if you like what I bring to you.
Lasya products are made in USA so the cost is different than you would find with products made in other countries. I only use high quality fair trade fabric for our polewear. You will notice that there are no markups or marketing dollars added to the pricing of the product so you pay for the cost of the product only, including shipping and taxes.
You are welcome to compare Lasya Polewear pricing to other companies' pricing. I'm bringing these products directly to you. The factory workers get what shows in the labor and there's cost of fabric and material as is. If and when the costs for Lasya Polewear goes down, the savings will be passed on to you.
I hope you enjoy this new pricing model and support Lasya and validate it's existence.
You have questions and comments, here's your chance to share you thoughts.....

It's Friday night--a rough week for me. It's been very busy at work and Samantha has been off school. She did go to Tanya's twice this week, which helped. She was busy with Al or my mom otherwise. The weather was fantastic through Wednesday. Thursday it was cold and back to the reality that we're still in the middle of winter. We were wearing t-shirts and played outside until 7 a few nights.
I keep reminding myself that we have a few more weeks until the time changes. I think it will make all of us much happier. It's funny how we all get tired of the winter soon after it begins.
Last weekend Samantha was begging me to come outside and "grow something." We planted 18 snow pea and 18 snap pea plants seeds. They got a great head start in our backyard. We also planted basil, chives, cilantro, and parsley that will live in the kitchen window. The parsley and chives will be able to go outside, but the cilantro and basil are too delicate.
I managed to get the painting finished on the armoire. The main piece is finally in our bedroom without the doors. Those are still in the garage waiting for a "rough up" to antique. It was quite a feat to get the armoire in our bedroom. It is taller than the door jamb and very heavy. We did a lot of maneuvering to get it in our room. I think it probably took us 45 minutes. It looks great--so much more substantial than the tiny, 5 foot armoire we had in there before. We have huge vaulted ceilings in our room that quickly dwarf furniture.
We're really enjoying watching the Olympics. It's always a sad thing when it's over. It's so easy to get excited about the races. The other night I found myself holding my breath during the speed skating!
Nothing new on Al's job search. However, he's been working to revise his resume. Let's hope that he gets some bites!

The Sandman
Volume 5, A Game of YoueBook - 2011

From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
This was one of the strangest, saddest, most intense, and adult-oriented comics I've ever read, all at once. The titular character is shown only sparingly, but he has an important role to play; one of his siblings also makes a surprise appearance. Among the main characters in this volume are a lesbian couple and a transsexual woman, so young readers and the exceedingly pious should proceed with caution.
This volume felt sadder than I was ready for, but I do like the idea of worlds existing inside each and every one of us.
APL Ruiz's resident authority on comics has called Watchmen "the Citizen Kane of graphic novels" and I agree it's a staggering achievement, but I now think The Sandman reaches farther and deeper.
Not as good as some of the volumes, but still recommend it for all Sandman fans! :)
I really liked the Colleen Doran artwork, especially the drawing down the moon bit.

There's a question that floats around Doomer forums from time to time:
What do you do when your unprepared neighbor comes around to your doomstead, asking for handouts?
Often, they ask it as though it's never happened before. They ask it as though it's in the far off SHTF future. They ask it as though its a rhetorical question that most people have never faced in real life.
Actually, most people have faced it. People have walked by panhandlers, seen the need for charitable donations, seen the unemployment numbers.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. That's a good thing to think about.
How do you act when you walk by the guys on the street begging for change?
Do you give to the United Way or your local food shelf?
Do you buy him a sandwich and a cup of coffee so he doesn't buy beer and smokes with your money?
Do you give him a dollar and hope he enjoys the joint he's going to buy from the local dealer to get through the night?
Do you give him one of your smokes because you spent the last of your money on them and its good karma to share?
Another question that makes the rounds, to jack up the emotional intensity, is what if the neighbors were actually starving children?
When I was in Haiti, I discovered exactly what I would do, confronted with starving children.
Children who came to our clinic were often more than malnourished, some were actually on the brink of death.
In the city, children would follow anyone with a white face around saying, in English, "Please, missus, I'm hungry.
I held my hands up, to show they were empty and said, "I got nothing."
No one gave the street beggars anything. That was taking your life in your hands, Distributing anything was a risky business, it wasn't uncommon to get mobbed.
We treated the severely malnourished for worms, and we distributed things like vitamins when we could.
I handled the knowledge that, steps from my table, people were starving by being frugal with what we had. I took only what I needed and was grateful for every bite. I focused on the fact that if I didn't feed myself, I was no good to them.
The first rule of emergency services and the last is; Do Not Become Another Casualty.
My coworkers had other ways to handle it. Some of them adopted families or children and would bring them food. I couldn't do that, my own internal sense of justice would require that, if I fed one of them, I'd have to feed all of them.
I focused on what I could do. I could take care of their illnesses and their injuries. I could give a sympathetic ear to their troubles. I could catch babies.
One of my fellow aid workers was a lovely, kind young woman. She was trying to help a mom who didn't have any milk, figure out how to re-lactate, that is to say get her breasts producing milk again. This can be done, but its hard and requires mom to be dedicated.
As I talked to the mom, I realized that this woman was not dedicated. Probably for reasons beyond her own control, she didn't have the wherewithal to do what she needed to do. I explained patiently that she needed to keep baby with her 24/7 and give the baby the breast every time it opened its' mouth. At least every two hours.
I explained how vital it was. We had no formula to give the woman, so she was supplementing with Pedialyte.
My colleague was full of optimism, and in love with both the mom and the baby. I gave the mom what advice I could and let it go.
I wonder sometimes how my colleague took the baby's death. I never asked her and she wasn't on my team, so I don't talk to her now.
Sometimes I feel hard hearted. I am a person who is slow to warm up to people. I don't bond easily. It protects me in places like that. I don't make myself another casualty and I can turn around to treat (and maybe save) the next dying baby that way.

By Neil Stevenson, executive director – brand, ACCA
"Tackling the financial deficit is the Coalition's most immediate task. But tackling the opportunity deficit – creating an open, mobile society – is our guiding purpose," so says Nick Clegg in his foreword to the Government's new social mobility strategy 'Opening Doors, Breaking Barriers'.
The Government and Nick Clegg should be applauded for placing social mobility at the front and centre of attention. As Nick Clegg said at the launch of the strategy yesterday afternoon, it's not right that 'birth equals destiny'. As Alan Milburn pointed out at the same event, those born poor are likely to die poor too.
This is wrong. It isn't fair or just, and it's something that ACCA has always stood against. We were founded in 1904 with the express purpose of widening access to the accountancy profession to help talented individuals find rewarding employment opportunities regardless of their background.
Access to the profession has been a key focus for us over the past century; our position is summarised in our recent policy briefing, 'Climbing the ladder'.
We've been invited by the Government to sign up to their Business Compact on social mobility and we have been delighted to do so. As a leading global professional body for accountants and as an employer we're proud to support genuine attempts to improve social mobility.
We will work hard to honour the Business Compact, through our work with schools to promote accountancy as a career, by working closely with the 8,500 employers worldwide who employ ACCA qualified or qualifying staff, and as an employer that recruits openly and fairly. We can all learn too from exciting initiatives from leading organisations such as PwC, who hosted yesterday's launch event.
The real question is whether this is still the guiding principle of government by the next election in 2015. Social mobility is an issue that can't be dealt with through quick fixes; results won't be seen overnight. Government needs to maintain a laser-like focus on social mobility for the long-term: "there is no magic wand," admits Clegg.
Improving social mobility requires dedication and hard work, but we believe the benefits are worth it. Social mobility not only improves the lives of individuals but can enhance business performance – which is of genuine value to the economy and society alike.

Oh yes. It's pie season. For those who have been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, it seems like every single food blog out there has had rhubarb, in some form or another, grace its pages. I on the other hand, am still working at the basics. No shame in that, I suppose. While Deb is making rhubarb cream cheese hand pies, I'm still trying to master the basic strawberry rhubarb. And it's been absolutely lovely. Because even a less-than-perfect strawberry rhubarb pie is still delicious, amirite?
Not much has changed in this iteration of the recipe from the previous version here. The crust is the same, although I've subbed quick cook tapioca for cornstarch in the filling. The result is an infinitely better consistency.
For the crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup ice water
I've posted instructions on how to get a nice buttery crusty pie dough before. The great thing is, it only gets better with practice.
In a very large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients, and whisk together. Get the butter out from the refrigerator and dice into small 1cm pieces. Dump these cubes into the bowl (see first picture) and begin working them into the flour with the pastry blender (see second picture). You'll know when to stop when the butter pieces are pea-sized, but don't fret if they are not completely even.
Take your cup of very cold water and throw two ice cubes in, so it remains very cold. Pour about 1/4 a cup of this water into your bowl and work with the pastry blender again. You'll start to notice little shags of dough forming. Pour another 1/4 a cup in, mix, repeat one more time. When the mixture looks like it could start to stick together on it's own, stick your hand in and start to work the dough together, but try not to knead! The warmth from your hand will melt the butter, which is what we don't want, so work quickly. Pack the dough into a ball. Divide into two even balls. Wrap with plastic wrap, and stick it in the freezer for at least half an hour. What we want to achieve is visible butter bits (fourth picture) when it gets rolled out.
For the filling:
- 2 cups trimmed, cubed rhubarb (I used 4 stalks)
- 2 cups hulled halved strawberries
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup quick cook tapioca
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
While the dough is chilling, gather your filling ingredients and mix together.
Preheat the oven to 400. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a well floured surface. I find it best to keep one dough in the freezer while you roll out the other. Carefully transfer to your pie dish. Dump in the filling, along with the juices. Roll out the top of the pie crust. Lay it on top, trim the edges with scissors, and press together. Cut some vents into the top. Brush with an egg beaten with some water.
Place, on a baking rack in case juices overflow, on the middle rack of your oven. Bake at 400 for the first 25 minutes, then dial the oven down to 350 for the last 25 minutes, or until the juices start bubbling over. I found that it actually took my pie a little longer to finish - around 1 hour and 20 minutes, but lucky me, my pie pan is just a tad bigger than the usual ones.
Let it cool for at least a full hour so that the inside solidifies a bit. Eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." This might not be the same as becoming, for example, the one our parents expect us to be. To build a life on the expectations of others is to play a role. We can try so hard to play it well that we neglect caring for ourselves. Indeed, we may take pride in always thinking of others, never of ourselves. At some point we may realize that this is not working out, but alternatives are not clear. Life feels burdensome. Working with clients in therapy, I help to identify and embrace personal strengths. Doing so sets a strong foundation for choices that reflect authentic values.

Psychotherapy is just a fancy word for the process of healing that goes on in a Counseling office. When clients come to my office, I show hospitality and offer something to drink. We have soft music playing and just begin to talk about the areas of interest that have brought them in. From that first session, I determine what is wrong and what needs to happen in order to facilitate the change my clients are hoping for. As a matter of fact, I write out two goals for each client from what they've talked about, each with 3 or 4 objectives to reach those goals! I guide you and hold you accountable as needed until you reach these goals. Come on in and let me help you do the same!!!

Shri Manik Prabhu Maharaj
The great mystic saint and yogi Shri Manik Prabhu Maharaj is hailed as the fourth incarnation of Lord Dattatreya and has an enormous following in the country. Shri Saibaba of Shirdi, Shri Akkalkot Swami Maharaj and Shri Gondavalekar Maharaj were Shri Prabhu's contemporaries and they interacted with him on matters of deep spiritual wisdom. Shri Prabhu was also associated with the first war of Indian independence in 1857. All biographers refer to Shri Prabhu as a saint of great spirituality and mysticism. He is hailed as 'Bhaktakarya Kalpadruma'. Stories of his miracles and eye witness accounts, which bear testimony to the manner in which he brought succor to the distressed and the sorrowing, to the afflicted and the wronged, who, ardently and with deep faith sought his spiritual intervention are available.Shri Prabhu's teaching, basically, lay stress on the path of Bhakti.Alongside, he moralizes in the most remarkable manner on the 'Vedantic Truths' concerning the 'Spiritual Unity' of beings.
Shri Prabhu uses his theological platform beautifully, to unfold, interpret and even reason out the concept of ' Ultimate Reality'. His innumerable poetic compositions are replete with expressions of ardent devotion to the different manifestations of Parabrahma. In the final analysis, he enjoins a meaningful connection between man and man, in a spirit of fellowship and brotherhood, disregarding affiliations of religions, caster of creeds. Such a philosophy invited messianic reverence for Shri Prabhu from all communities and earned him the appellation 'Sakalamatacharya'. Sakalmata Sampradaya is not a cult or a sect. It is a holistic and an all embracing school of philosophy, which basically rests on the concept of a Supreme Soul that pervades the Universe and in that context perceives a spiritual unity in the entire human race. This school of thought holds an umbrella of eqality over all diversities of religions, faiths, and persuasions. Such a philosophy was readily acceptable to people of all religions, castes or creeds, and to rich and poor, as it held the promise of harmony among all people, transcending all barriers that produced conflicts.
Birth and early life
In a village called Ladwanti, near the town of Kalyan, in the erstwhile state of Hyderabad, a child was born to a pious couple, Shri Manohar Naik and Smt. Bayadevi on 22nd December 1817, the birthday festival of Lord Dattatreya. They had in all three sons and one daughter. Amongst the sons, the middle one was the one who was to make history in time to come.He was named Manik.
As he grew, one and all were attracted to the child, who was fondled not only by his parents but also by his neighbours. His pranks were endearing to everyone. He started collecting a group of his friends and roaming the hills and dales in the vicinity of the town. He was, as it were, a child of nature, more close to the trees, the breeze, the birds and the flowers.
In the course of play He would occasionally, casually disclose his divinity. Once, when one of His playmates, Govinda, failed to turn up for play for a couple of days, Manik went to his house to enquire after him. Arriving there He was informed that Govinda has passed away after suffering from fever for a few days. Manik told Govinda's mother to stop grieving, as her son was alive. Sure enough, when Govinda's mother called out to him to go out and play with Manik, he arose as if out of a deep slumber. All present were overjoyed and amazed at this occurrence. This and such other occurrences caused his fame to spread far and wide.
On the whole however, Manik behaved in such a carefree manner that the members of his family were concerned. It was, therefore, decided that at the age of seven his thread ceremony should be performed, so that a sense of responsibility may dawn on this wayward child, who, it appeared, preferred to roam rather than sit and read. When the sacred thread was being bestowed on Him and the sacred Gayatri hymn was being recited in his ears, as was the custom, a strange thing took place. Manik behaved as though all this was superfluous for him and he knew all about Gayatri and the significance of the eternal sound, AUM. He recited the hymn unaided, to the great surprise of the assembled people
Manik was again free to roam in the woods. When he was sent to the school, his attention was to the open sky, the cool breeze, the rustling leaves and the chirping of the birds. He liked to seek teachers in the lap of nature, listen to Nature's natural education rather than the artificial or contrived lessons in the classroom. It was not surprising therefore, that he was given to sneaking out of the classrooms and wandering in the woods. Nature became his classroom and his very Self became his teacher. His receptivity became keen, intelligence sharp and thoughts synchronized. Manik's parents worried about his wanderings ignoring the formal education sent him to his uncle's place.
Manik's uncle sincerely felt that this boy should grow up like a normal child and should be trained and educated to take up the responsibilities of life. He was deeply frustrated by the failure of his measures in sending this boy to school. He then thought that employment may inculcate a sense of responsibility in him and thus got him appointed as a clerk in the octroi check post on the outskirts of Kalyan town.
From then onwards, his journey on the pathless path was within the folds of Mother Nature. As he breathed in the fresh, unconditioned atmosphere, a new wave of awareness came over him, spreading before him the universality of the Divine presence in every thing he saw, touched or heard. One by one the mysteries, long concealed, came to be revealed to him.
Shri Krishna's assurance seemed to echo in every action of his. "He who see Me everywhere and sees all in Me, I am not lost to him nor is he lost to Me" (Bhagavad Gita VI.30). Consequently within himself and without himself, in nature, in creatures, in trees and streams, hills and dales, in the wise as well as in the foolish, in the saint as well as the sinner, in those who love and in those who hate, he saw only the same Divine essence, the Brahma.
In jungles, hills and woods
The family members accepted the strange behaviour of Shri Manik, it nonetheless created anxiety in their minds, especially when he would wander from place to place without notice. Shri Manik was looked at with due respect. An aura enveloped his personality.
He preferred to stay in solitude and alone concentrating on the Supreme Self. He went to nearby places such as Manthal and especially to Ambilkunda or Amritkunda. Shri Prabhu told his family members in most compassionate words about His Mission in life. "With the Grace of Shri Dattatreya I took birth in your family. Your desire for a child was duly fulfilled. I stayed with you as long as it was necessary. Now that I have been initiated in Brahmavidya, wisdom of Brahman, My life is devoted to humanity. I will now have to wander from place to place to spread the message of the Compassionate Datta, Datta-Dayaghana, so that the misery of human beings can be alleviated. Therefore, it is futile to grieve for my loss. I will ever be with you. Go back to your home and leave me to fulfill my Mission. Whenever and wherever one needs me, I will come. This is certain; this is my promise."
In Search of the Self
Shri Prabhu was greatly attracted to the hills around Manthal where the environment was quiet and peaceful and conducive for communion with the Supreme Self. He lived for many days immersed in the blissful state of realization. Some time he would come down from the hills and roam around the town. His behaviour was some so different from normal ways of life, that people would shun him as though he was demented. The wise ones, therefore, recognizing Shri Prabhu as a great Yogi honoured and worshipped Him, which Shri Prabhu accepted as though all this was natural for Him. But at the same time like a simple, unassuming child of nature, He would distribute the things received by him among the assembled persons.
Often when in spiritual rapture, He would sing and dance and many of his bhajans were the product of such ecstatic moods. When He sang these bhajans, which in Marathi are known as "Abhanga" he seemed to be inseparable from "Datta-Dayaghana" his chosen deity.
Shri Prabhu moved from place to place like a free bird or breeze, which knew no bounds. In the bosom of Mother Nature, he had all the satisfaction and contentment which the world of the attachment and possessions would not give.
During one of his wanderings, he arrived at Chalakpur, a small town near Kalyan and stayed at Lord Hanuman temple for few months. People thronged in thousands for His darshan and to seek His blessings. The entire atmosphere was surcharged with religious fervour. Bayadevi, Shri Prabhu's mother and Nrisimha, His brother came over to Chalakpur. All experienced the overflowing Grace of Shri Prabhu and no one went back empty handed. Such was the compassion of Shri Manik Prabhu. Shri Manik Prabhu further proceeded to Mailar, which is one of the ancient holy places. Lord Shiva is worshiped here as Marthanda Bhairava and is also venerated locally as Khandoba. During this period, his fame as an Avatar of Shri Dattatreya spread further in the surrounding areas. Later Shri Prabhu left Mailar with some of his close associates to visit Holy places like Parali-Vaijanatha, Tuljapur, Pandharpur etc. From Pandharpur he went to visit Shri Junglee Maharaj at Poona and from there onward to Girnar to have communion with Guru Shri Datta, the compassionate one. Sourcing His power from the Primal source, He traveled further to Gangotri, Haridwar, Badari, Kedar, Prayag, Varanasi, Gaya, Puri, Mahur, Tirupati, Gangapur and to many Holy river banks and hills on the way.
This travel established in Him the unique feeling of all-pervading nature of his Self and the manifestation of the Supreme Brahma in everything which he saw, touched, heard and breathed.
Finally he came to Kalyan, his hometown. He decided to live there for some time to consider the steps to give shape to his mission, for the time had come when the first step was to be taken.
Some misguided Mullas, who could neither understand nor digest the popularity of Shri Prabhu in their blind orthodoxy, decided to counter the effect of Shri Prabhu's message on the people, amongst whom many were also Muslims. With a view to embarrass Shri Prabhu, they brought some plate covered with shawls, ostentatiously full of gifts. They wanted to embarrass him and make him look insignificant in the eyes of his devotees. They, therefore, surreptitiously brought beef in the plates instead of fruits etc. and offered the plates to Shri Prabhu with a false pretence of devotion. However, from a Yogi nothing is hidden and nothing can be hidden. He saw through their game and yet, graciously accepted their offerings by touching the plates. He then asked the contents to be distributed among the assembled peoples as Prasad (blessed food). When the shawl was removed what every one found was fruits and sweetmeats.
The Prasad (blessed food) was distributed to all the assembled people. The miscreants were humbled and felt ashamed. They fell at the feet of Shri Prabhu and asked for his pardon. All that Shri Prabhu did was to bless them to have good thoughts and follow the noble path, which the Koran (Holy scripture of Islam) has prescribed for them.
The area where Shri Prabhu spent much of his human life was ruled by a Muslim King and the population was also predominantly Muslim. Therefore, the above incident created a lasting impression on them and they considered Shri Prabhu to be an Avatar of Mehaboob Subhani, a Muslim Saint, which belief they can now hold. The Manik Prabhu Sampradaya also reciprocates this faith.
In the festivities at Maniknagar both Hindus and Muslims take part with equal enthusiasm. This is indeed the unique example Sakalamat Sampradaya, equality and universality of religions and faiths. A Yogi sees no difference between the various manifestations of the Lord, and for him everything that is in the world is but the manifestation of the Lord.
Large followings need a focal point to gather together. Shri Prabhu felt the need to have such a spiritual centre. Till now he was wandering from place to place in his own state of constant awareness of the Supreme Bliss. The descent of the Lord is not only for the sake of destruction of evil but also for the establishment of righteousness. Lord Krishna said "For the protection of the good and destruction of the evil, for establishment of righteousness, I come into being from age to age". (Bhagavat Gita IV.8)
Later while traveling with some devotees He stopped near the confluence of the two rivers. There as Shri Prabhu sat under the Audumbar tree (Lord Dattatreya is believed to dwell under this tree) in ecstatic meditation, the decision to establish the spiritual centre at that very place was taken. Thus was established what is today known as the village of MANIKNAGAR.
The time and place selected by Shri Prabhu for establishing the spiritual centre near Humnabad seemed significant as well as ideal. Those were the troubled times, both politically as well as religiously. He selected the confluence of the two rivers for establishing his spiritual centre, as if to emphasize that he wanted to bring the two communities (Hindus and Muslims) together. In his visionary mind he saw these two streams of great faith come together and live life of peace and understanding. How prophetic his vision was can be seen by the fact that even today both the Hindus and the Muslims flock to Maniknagar each year, to honour the great founder of the Universal Truth, the SAKALAMATA.
Originally, a small hut was constructed to establish the GADI, or the Spiritual Seat, which in time to come was to be associated with the living spirit of Shri Manik Prabhu Maharaj. Sitting on the Gadi, he would give Darshan to audience and His very Darshan would give peace and contentment to all who visited Maniknagar. Shri Prabhu's mother, who had till then endured separation from her son, came to Maniknagar with the rest of the family.
In the Durbar, the people gathered would bask in the aura and the benevolent grace of Shri Prabhu. The entire atmosphere would be surcharged with spiritual splendour. Shri Prabhu would cast his compassionate glance on all, making everybody participate in the bliss, which he was experiencing.
People from far and near would come with their doubts and Shri Prabhu, even though he had not received formal education in the scriptures than the philosophers in his Durbar and was able to clear all doubts with great ease. Sometimes he would reply even before the questions were asked. Such was his authority, wisdom and spiritual insight. The graceful presence of Shri Prabhu that his very Darshan would assuage all the misery of a person.
He treated all devotees alike and wanted true devotion than outward austerity echoing the words of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita (IX.26) "Whosoever offers to Me, with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, that offering of love, of the pure heart, I accept".
Devotion to the Guru should be like that of the child towards its mother. Whether the mother is nearby or not, the child is ever confident that the mother will listen when it is in distress. If such confidence and faith is there, then Shri Prabhu's Grace will ever be with us to guide us and tide us over the difficult times. Many devotees have experienced this expansive Grace of Shri Prabhu even when they have been in places far from Maniknagar. For surely Shri Prabhu does not reside only in Maniknagar but in the heart of all the devotees as well.
The grandeur of Shri Prabhu's Durbar proved one thing. When the Lord oversees us, He knows our needs and so ordains accordingly. Whether we ask for little or more, Shri Prabhu knows fully well what is good for us. If there is 'Shraddha' (Faith) in us, nothing else is needed. If there is no Shraddha (Faith) then all efforts and endeavours to please Shri Prabhu are to no avail. He distributed wealth as well as health as needed by the sincere devotees. He was a great Yogi, a great recluse. For him wealth was as good as dust. He saw the Lord in both. Therefore whether he sat on a throne or on an earthen mound, for him it made no difference.
No one was stranger to Shri Prabhu. He knew each one by name as well as his problems. It was the Durbar of Shri Manik Prabhu Maharaj and each one returned from there with a satisfied and contented mind, for Shri Prabhu was, indeed, the Kalpavriksh (Wish Fulfilling Tree).
Mahasamadhi (leaving the gross body)
Shri Prabhu himself was not bound by the gross body. He had realized his Self. When he realized that the time had come for him to shed his mortal coil and merge in the Infinite, he considered seriously the future course to be laid down for the mission to continue, which was as important as the manner in which he would discard the gross body. As Shri Prabhu was reluctant to disclose the time of his own departure to all, he took only three or four persons into confidence, those who understood the significance of his Avatar (incarnation). The news was kept in utmost confidence and all the required work was carried on with a smile on the face but with remorse in the heart. He advised them, "You think that once I take Samadhi everything will end and I will no more be available to you. What you will miss is the sight of my Gross body, but my Self, the spirit within, will ever remain with you to guide you without your realizing that fact. There will not be any breach in your spiritual path. Remember that decay and destruction of the gross body is certain. When every breath has already been numbered and assigned what is the purpose of grieving?" Shri Prabhu consoled them; "It is good that my work here is now coming to an end. You will all be able to carry the mission further by the Energy, which I will be leaving behind. What's the use of remaining alive in this worthless body when the work is complete?"
One day, a small boil was noticed on Shri Prabhu's back. He supervised the place where he was to take Samadhi (shedding the mortal coil). The pit was dug in all secrecy and no one in Maniknagar could get even a breath of it. Soon the auspicious month of Margashirsha arrived. People from great distances flocked Manik Nagar to celebrate the annual Shri Datta Jayanti (birth day celebrations of Lord Dattatreya) festivities. Somehow that year was considered auspicious for Muslims also. Consequently, Shri Prabhu's Muslim devotees also came in thousands.
As time passed, Shri Prabhu's health was deteriorating steadily. The small boil was getting bigger and more painful. Yet, Shri Prabhu's face bore no trace of the pain and it was blissful and tranquil as ever. On the tenth day of Margashirsha, Shri Prabhu decided to summon the Durbar, so that people could have his final Darshan. All arrangements were made for Shri Prabhu to sit in as comfortable a position as was possible.
The next day was Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the month. For Hindus it is one of the most auspicious days. It is the day on which, thousands of years ago Shri Krishna delivered the message of Bhagavad Gita to Arjun. This day is observed as Gita Jayanti. This 29th day of the month of November 1865 was the day on which Srhi Prabhu had decided to take Samadhi and merge His Self with the Supreme Self.
Before samadhi He called two sons of His brother Narisimha and blessed them and thus the line of succession to the Gadi (spiritual seat) was laid down for all to know. He made the elder one Manohar the successor to Gadi by transferring His Eternal Energy to him. Thus the Guru-Parampara of Shri Manik Prabhu Sampradya was established for all time to come. The successors to the Gadi (spiritual seat) after Shri Manik Prabhu took Samadhi are:
Shri Manohar Manik Prabhu
Shri Martan Manik Prabhu,
Shri Shankar Manik Prabhu and
Shri Siddharaj Manik Prabhu
Having done this Shri Prabu started walking towards the hut where the pit was dug. With his face glowing with extraordinary spiritual splendour, Shri Prabhu took each step. It was like the space merging within the space leaving no trace whatever. For Shri Prabhu the occasion was joyous for it was like going back to the origin from where He had started. He sat in the pit in Padmasana (lotus posture), forcing His Kundalini to rise and reach the Brahmarandhra. The pit was closed slowly by the close associates, in a mood that was surcharged with spiritual fervour.
The news of Shri Prabhu having taken Samadhi was kept secret till Poornima (full moon day), lest the grieving crowds might vitiate the solemn and serene occasion, in their ignorance if the significance of the event. When they came to the Gadi for Shri Prabhu's Darshan as usual, before they departed from Maniknagar, they were shocked to hear the news. They rushed to the hut in uncontrollable grief. Close devotees and associates had to pacify the crowd.
Shri Prabhu had assured time and again, His continued presence in Maniknagar. He answers the prayers of all who keep Faith in Him.

Along the lines of "let no crisis go to waste", the neo-libs are attacking the Jones act, which protects American shipping, as the enemy no. one that has sunk Puerto Rico. Lefties who are "anti-trade" are of course assistants to the undertakers of Puerto Rico.
This discovery has the additional hedonistic weight that it makes neo-libs the champions of people of color, and the lefties the opponents.
Now being one of those "anti-trade" lefties, I have to ask myself what I think about the Jones act, of which I was not aware until a week ago. And my response is: the Jones act is suspended in emergencies. And the whole basis of the "anti-trade" lefty opinion is that economic policy should respond to place and circumstances instead of to economic "laws" laid down in Econ 101 books. Ceteris paribus is the equivalent to: how things really are.
It is interesting that neo-libs have adopted "free trade" as their slogan, and regional trade pacts as their real policy. Thus, discussions of Nafta or the TPP are caught up in the discourse of free trade, when they are exactly the opposite of classical free trade, privileging nation partners. I guess "regional trade pact" sounds a little too much like Warsaw Pact or Axis to make a good slogan.
Freedom has an interesting connotative weight in the popular discourse of economics. If you go to a blog site about economics, you will find that any long comment thread will eventually reveal to you the amazing truth that there "is no free lunch." This old chestnut was often used by Milton Friedman to explain why the government can't do things. On the other hand, everything "free trade" is wonderful.
Myself, I think Friedman and his ilk got it backasswards. In fact, not only are there free lunches, but all those full faced white econ professors profited enormously from them when they went from their nappies to the first year in college. Yes, Virginia, there is a free lunch. As for free trade, it is far from free - its costs to laborers, and ultimately to society itself (including consumers) as it eats away at the industrial and technical base, is enormous. What it gives to consumers, that lovely group, is conditioned on where those consumers live and what the state of the economy is at that time. Chinese consumers have long "suffered' from the tariffs the Chinese put on foreign goods, and what have they got in exchange? An economy that has grown faster than any economy in history. Poor guys!

What effect do economists have on the economy
A little Sunday reading from the Archives
We can easily imagine DNA replicating itself without molecular biologists, and the planets revolving around the sun without astronomers. But can we imagine capitalism without economists?
On the one hand, we are always identifying proto-forms of capitalism without contemporaries making a formal theory of it. On the other hand, would the kind of capitalism we know, that which appears in the 17th and 18th century in Europe and America, have developed as it did without the appearance, at the same time, of the political economists? And as political economists developed their discourse – as economics began to regard itself as a science – was capitalism merely a parallel development, one that they studied, or was it a development in which they played a role?
Marx, in the Grundrisse, working in the shadow of the disputes in Germany about theory and 'materialism', wrote:
daß die einfachre Kategorie herrschende Verhältnisse eines unentwickeltern Ganzen oder untergeordnete Verhältnisse eines entwickeltem Ganzen ausdrücken kann, die historisch schon Existenz hatten, eh das Ganze sich nach der Seite entwickelte, die in einer konkretem Kategorie ausgedrückt ist. Insofern entspräche der Gang des abstrakten Denkens, das vom Einfachsten zum Kombinierten aufsteigt, dem wirk||16|lichen historischen Prozeß…
"…the simpler categories can express the dominant relationships of an undeveloped whole or the subordinate relationships of a developed whole, which historically already exists, before the whole has developed towards the side that is expressed in a concrete category. Just in so far may the course of abstract thought, which ascends from the simplest to the combined, be correspondent to the real historical process." – Marx, Grundrisse
I take it that the intellectual space, here, is opened up by the uncertain position of the 'categories' by which social life is understood vis-à-vis the dominant relationships of the social whole. Marx doesn't seem to believe that there is a natural tendency within the social whole to move in a given direction – in this way, he does not have a classically liberal view of progress – but instead, given the presence of subordinate and dominate relationships, posits conflicts in which some agent figures.
Boldly, I take the concrete categories to be expressed in character-making. Or as all the boys and girls like to say now, in the construction of the subject. However, for reasons that have to do with my incorrigibly literary temperament, I prefer the vocabulary of the character to the subject.

Hyundai End Control Forklifts
End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are popular in the material handling industry for their extreme flexibility. These equipment have great performance characteristics which are somewhat similar to sit-down electric lift truck models.
Ideally, these forklift truck models are suitable for warehousing operation environments that have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are usually less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These equipment are an excellent option for applications that need frequent off and on access, since their stand-up design is an exceptional characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading machine used by various businesses who maintain a storage facility that involves the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and supplies which are stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides easy and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great choice for those who prefer to store pallets of products they do not require for immediate use in a way that is both safe and efficient.
All basic reach truck units will have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machinery. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and could move down and up. The forks also have a hydraulic system which enables the operator to pick up the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not only provides more balance to the overall load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to move into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
When the reach truck finds the shelves that are designated for the pallet, the hydraulics allow the forks to swing into position and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into position. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide without any problem, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.

resent, and what powers did he possess to act on its behalf? He could have
scarcely imagined his future role as caudillo at this point. While he in-
tended to return to his native country with assistance from the United
States, his mission was open-ended and bound to be shaped by circum-
stances beyond his immediate control. He would assert himself more
boldly as he sensed the possibility of building a republican alliance across
American boundaries.'"
Gutierrez had his first significant diplomatic exchange on September
23, i811, with John Sibley, U.S Indian agent, stationed in the frontier
community of Natchitoches. Both men relied upon an interpreter, con-
sidering their lack of understanding of the other's language. Sibley, who
was strongly anti-Spanish in viewpoint, was predisposed to view the insur-
gency as a unified revolutionary movement. One Anglo-American in-
formant had told him in late November 1810 that the war in New Spain
pitted "Native Americans" [i.e, creoles] fighting en masse against "Euro-
peans" in order to achieve "Compleat [sic] independence from all the
world on republican principles." In reality, this intelligence was quite mis-
taken. The Hidalgo Revolt alienated more creoles than it attracted. More-
over, the idea of a Mexican republic was still in its formative stages. Re-
publicanism broadly implied a national government devoted to the
public good, but it did not yet mean the open repudiation of monarchy as
Sibley assumed. After conversing with Gutierrez and his associate, Col.
Jos6 Menchaca, Sibley relayed grossly exaggerated estimates to Washing-
ton about the military strength of the Mexican "Republican or Revolu-
tionary party." He also furnished Gutierrez with a favorable letter of in-
troduction to William Eustis, secretary of war.'5
Gutierrez built upon his initial diplomatic foray, partly through the tac-
it support of William C. C. Claiborne, governor of Orleans Territory. Feel-

Project Overview
The Nature Trust of British Columbia will receive a total of $50,000 over three years, beginning in 2011, to find the most effective way to reduce the spread of invasive plants in vulnerable ecosystems in British Columbia's southern interior.
Supporting the SFI Standard
The project will support the following objectives of the SFI 2010-2014 Standard: Objective 4, Conservation of Biological Diversity including Forests with Exceptional Conservation Value; Objective 2, Forest Productivity; Objective 8: Landowner Outreach; Objective 16: Training and Education; Objective 17: Community Involvement in the Practice of Sustainable Forestry.
Project Partners
The Nature Trust of British Columbia; Weyerhaeuser Co. Ltd.; South Okanagan-Similkameen Invasive Plant Society; British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
Project Details
Alien invasive species such as tansy ragwort, sulphur cinquefoil, spotted knapweed and the hawkweed complex are a significant threat to biodiversity in British Columbia, especially in the province's interior grasslands and dry forests. They can affect the survival and growth of planted conifers; accelerate soil erosion and stream sedimentation; consume critical water resources and negatively impact water quality; increase the wildfire hazard; interfere with regeneration of forests; and destroy or otherwise alter critical natural habitats required by species at risk or other high valued wildlife.
More than 200,000 hectares/500,000 acres of publicly owned grassland and open forest in British Columbia have been infested with 56 different invasive plants and noxious weed species. The project will identify and map priority locations, then test grass seed mixes and management techniques to learn how best to reduce invasive plants to a level where they are no longer an environmental threat."
It will take place on about 5,000 hectares (12,000 acres) of SFI-certified forested lands managed by Weyerhaeuser in south-central British Columbia. The operating area includes important wintering grounds for ungulates such as elk and mountain goats; fish-sensitive and community watersheds; and habitat for seven federally-listed species at risk – all of which are potentially at risk of impact from invasive species.
About Nature Trust of BC
The Nature Trust of British Columbia is a leading non-profit land conservation organization dedicated to protecting BC's natural diversity of plants and animals through the acquisition and conservation of critical habitats and other areas of ecological significance. Along with our partners, The Nature Trust has invested more than $71 million to secure over 61,000 hectares (150,000 acres) throughout British Columbia. The Nature Trust is a founding partner in the South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program, and has implemented a broad range of projects including land acquisitions, riparian fencing, and invasive plant management.

I remember this show from back in my grade school years 😂. Fantastic plot with epic characters. It never failed to entice me.

When you're 16 years old, muscles are toned, the face is free of crow's-feet and gray hair is decidedly more than a decade down the road.
But when a residential development hits 16, age weighs more heavily. Roads may be worn, landscaping thinned and common areas in need of rejuvenation.

For Christmas 2014, this Canadian dad was gifted a giant box, wrapped in seasonally colored paper and topped off with a red ribbon. Inside was something very precious that he had wanted for 25 years. All of his family were there at a party to watch him open it – with one very notable exception. And, when he man finally revealed what was inside, his reaction was truly heartwarming. It brought home to everyone gathered at the party the true essence of the season.
In 2014, Terra Leanne Casey, now 31, lived and worked in marketing in Vancouver, Canada. Sadly, this meant that she lived more than 2,500 miles away from her retired dad, Terry Gibbs, who was domiciled across the country in Dundas, Ontario. Unfortunately, it also meant that Terra didn't see her Old Man as often as she would have liked. Indeed, because she lived so far away from her father she never spent the festive period with him.
In fact, distance was just one of the reasons why dad and daughter never spent the holiday season together. Although Terra saw her fther at other times during the year, for various family reasons, they had spent 25 Christmases apart by the time the season to be jolly of 2014 rolled around. Sadly, she was just four years old the last time she had celebrated Christmas with her dear old dad. So, wanting to remedy this situation, she devised a secret plan. She even got her uncle, Rick Gibbs, involved.

Hurricane Preparedness 2011
Get Ready
. As a person that has survived several really bad natural disasters I would like to provide you with one simple resources to prepare you for hurricane season. I will try to provide framework for you but by no means is this list all inclusive, Before the Season even begins you should go to www.noaa.gov and mark it as your favorites. It will always have the latest information updates and you can watch the storms form so you have an idea how to track the hurricanes.
NOAA Hurricane Tracking
- National Hurricane Center
Link to watch the tropics and the Atlantic Basin during Hurricane Season everyday to prepare for storms.
Hurricane Buddies
1) Hurricane Buddies. I recommend you have a hurricane buddy or two. These are people you check in with before during and after the hurricane. They account for you and your account for them. Try to skip out on the hurricane partying crowd. After Frances and Wilma, the party mentality is over. Visual confirmation has to be mad with buddy so pick someone stable and reliable as you are each others life lines.
Survival Kits
One this website NOAA gives you a basic run down of what to have in your hurricane kit. I would include all of the things mentioned but I would add a few things of comfort. Let's face it hurricanes are no fun and you are locked in a safe place for a long time. Cabin fever sets in easily without electricity and no baths so remember to pack extra deodorant you ate going to need it. And the plastic utensils also as you will not have water to wash your utensils. This package should be complete before hurricane season. Also include if you have a child favorite toys, the mega long monopoly game and anything that will keep your child amused and comfortable during the storm. Comfort ad endurance is key to survival s be well prepared but also pack light enough you can through your survivl kits in the car if you need to evacuate. One last Item I like to bring a scaffing dish and sterno. While I can exist on canned food sometimes I like to warm up my canned soups. It makes my son happy too. While in is not a necessity but a luxury during a hurricane it is one I rpefer to have.
Hurricane Survival Kit
Radio battery operated
If you can afford it buy a generator before hurricane. While they are not useful during the Hurricane they can be useful after the storm provided you have the gasoline to run them.
Gas Tank on Full
Keep you car's gasoline tank on full. If the hurricane is a category 3 or evacuate higher ground. When the state ofFloridadeclares an evacuation order through everything you have prepared into your car trunk and take off. Getting out of Florida during a hurricane can be quite chaotic; having the car topped off puts you that much further in the evacuation process.
Evacuate Through the Turnpike Before Hurricane Hits
Keep Your Yard Free of Debrie
Before hurricane season you should have your yard well kept and always pull in your lawn furniture. Actually I wouldn't have lawn furniture during hurricane season out at all. Do this before hurricane season and you will spare yourself the hassle of doing it during.
Hurricanes and Pets
I don't recommend you take your pet in an evacuation situation as you will be hard pressed to find a shelter that will take your pet but instead I would make pre-arrangements for boarding with your pets vet.
Preparation and Vigilance
And finally, finish your preparations. Be vigilant and watch NOAA and local Emergency Management Services for Information. Because chances are if you survive one storm another one could be right around the corner. I have written in futher detal on how to care of rchildren with Autism during a hurricane whihc is apllicable to all children and I have also written what to do after the hurricane. I can't link those accounts so you will have to fin them om my hub.

"Physical therapy might help to jump start you," suggested my doctor after having zeroed in on a current disorder of my bodily "earth suit." Apparently my calendar-challenged body needed more exercise....
That launched me into a three times a week encounter with a young trainer chap named Kevin at the Kinetic-Balance Center. The trajectory he prescribed for me was not what is commonly thought of as body building and pumping iron with bulging muscles as the goal. I was to concentrate on trying to rescue, strengthen, and then maintain what puny muscles I had left as a nonagenarian after sitting for protracted periods for too many years at my computer in my writing studio.
Kevin told me to continue my prescribed regimen at home daily and buy some dumbbells for weight lifting. I had visions of the torture equipment in workout rooms depicted on TV, I asked how heavy they should be. "Two pounders," replied Kevin. I bought them for a dollar apiece at a local thrift store. It didn't take me long to realize that was about all I could manage to lift anyway.
In addition to the P.T. program, I was to continue my thirty minute daily trip to nowhere on my recumbent stationary Schwinn 270 bike which time period was equal to five miles in distance—and gave me a few paltry calories to spend. In the flush of my initial enthusiasm for success, I was beginning "to take thought" that I really might be able to "add to my stature" (i.e. alter my body) if not by "a cubit," (18 inches!..Jesus, were you exaggerating on purpose?) at least by a smidgen of strength for my mushy muscles.
After some weeks on that program I concluded exactly what Jesus had already told me in Matthew 6:27. "Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?" One Bible version paraphrased it, "Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?" Some translations expanded the meaning to include "adding a single moment to your life, a single hour to your age, to your span of life." The Message Bible applied it vividly: "Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch?"
Bottom line? Nothing could be accomplished by simply "taking thought" (or being anxious, worrying). Even sweat and discipline and perseverance wouldn't cut it. That's true even for the man who by arduous training (or taking steroids?) attains a bulky body like the one pictured with this blog post. If he doesn't maintain his regimen, his exaggerated muscles degenerate to flabby again. So what's Jesus getting at?
Bible scholars differ in their interpretation of those verses, but some light is shed when the Matthew 6 verse is taken in context with 1 Timothy 4:7-9. Comparing translations, some read "bodily discipline, physical training of the body, exercise" "has some value, in some ways, has limited benefit, helps a little, is somewhat profitable, is not entirely useless."
Bodily exercise is contrasted with godly exercise or "training in holy living." Spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, useful for everything." "Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come." The Message Bible hits the mark again: "Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both for today and forever," both for the present and the future.
So? I'll at least try to keep on hoisting those two-pound dumbbells and continue pushing those bike pedals to nowhere. It does "profit a little." I know that I ought to exercise my temporal body because it tends to drag me toward the slippery slope of inactivity which in turn hinders my health and ability to do the work for which God called me.
Without exercising myself to internal godliness, even if I was able to pump serious iron, such physical exercise would be of little and temporary advantage. My priority daily spiritual exercise must be to present my mortal body, my "earth suit" to God in spiritual worship (Romans 12:1) for the welfare of my soul, to the pursuit of a holy life, since godliness is profitable in all things in the present and in the future.We can't beat that for a lasting result!

Kabul [Afghanistan], Nov 28 (ANI): India has pledged to contribute about USD 2.87 million to Afghanistan in its latest financial assistance to the neighbouring country.
The assistance will be used to repair around 350 public buses in the country.
The Khaama Press quoted the Embassy of India in Kabul, as saying, in a statement: "Continuing its long-standing development support to the people of Afghanistan, the Government of India (GoI) has today agreed to provide financial assistance of USD 2.87 million to the Ministry of Transport of Afghanistan."
"The Assistance would be used to procure spare parts for M/s Milli Bus Enterprise for refurbishment of 350 previous supplied buses under GoI assistance. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this was signed today by H.E Manpreet Vohra, Ambassador of India and H.E Mohammad Tahmasi, Minister of Transport of Afghanistan," the statement added.
The refurbished buses will help strengthen the public transport network of Kabul and expected to be operational by the end of next year, according to the statement.
India has helped Afghanistan time and again in its reconstruction since the fall of the Taliban regime.
It has helped the country with over USD 2 billion, used in the construction of the major Salma Dam, the new Afghan parliament building, Zaranj-Delaram highway, and few other projects. (ANI)
