Wigan Athletic, the current FA Cup holders, have announced a US tour, which will see them play three matches Stateside.
On Saturday, July 13, Wigan Athletic will play Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium in Ohio. That’ll be followed by a game against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds on July 19. Wigan also plans on adding a third match to its itinerary against a team to be determined.
Here’s what Wigan manager Owen Coyle said about the 10-day trip:
“The opportunity came up for us to go to the States and was too good for us to turn down.
“The players will love the facilities over there which are first class and it is a great way for us to begin our pre-season preparation in readiness for August 3.”
Coyle is no stranger to taking his teams to the United States to prepare for the new season. Coyle’s previous teams — Bolton and Burnley — both played matches in the United States during recent summers.
For the Columbus Crew-Wigan Athletic game, individual advance ticket prices start at $23 and will go on sale Tuesday, June 25 at 10:00 a.m. at the Crew Stadium Box Office, all central Ohio Ticketmaster retail locations, via Ticketmaster phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online via TheCrew.com.
The game marks the first-ever meeting between Wigan Athletic and the Columbus Crew, and the Latics are the ninth English opponent to face Columbus. The Crew is 10-4-2 all-time in international exhibitions and 3-3-2 against English opposition. The Crew downed Leeds United 2-1 in 1997; tied Newcastle United 2-2 in 2000; defeated Fulham 2-1 in 2005; tied Everton 1-1 in 2006; lost to Aston Villa 3-1 in 2007; fell to West Ham United 3-1 in 2008; lost to Newcastle United 3-0 in 2011 and beat Stoke City 2-1 last July.

’65 CORVETTE New with 4-wheel disc brakes
Corvette for ’65 offers 4-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment. It figures. When it comes to performance ideas, Corvette’s been out in front for years.
And there hasn’t been a better idea than 4-wheel discs in the history of brakes. They’re virtually fade-free. Unaffected by heat or water. Self-adjusting. Wear like granite. And require almost no maintenance in normal use.
We could go on, but Corvette has a few other nifties for ’65.
Like that new V8 you can order (along with 300- and 365-hp V8’s and 375-hp Ramjet fuel-injected V8). It’s a 350-hp triumph of the engine designer’s art. Smooth as honey in spite of all that torque.
Inside, you’ll find re-designed seats, door panels and instrument faces (white on black, enough to bring tears of joy to a purist’s eyes).
Outside, some beautiful things have happened. Notice the smoothed-off hood. The clean new grille design. New body side trim. Mean-looking magnesium-type wheel covers even a real magnesium wheel could envy. And three big, bold, functional front fender louvers on each side.
Now for the do-it-yourself department: order what you want. Corvette’s got everything again from 4-Speed Synchro-Mesh to cast aluminum wheels. From Positraction to power windows. From genuine leather seat upholstery n seven colors to a new telescopically adjustable steering column.
All this and 4-wheel disc brakes, too.
We’ve said it every year and well say it again for ’65—there’s never been a better time to go Corvette.

As Marengo farmer Roger Volkening harvests the corn crop at his 1,000-acre farm, the Marengo High School District 154 School Board president also takes time to reap support for the upcoming referendum.
This effort marks the second attempt to pass a referendum to offset a deficit in the education fund. Last April, the referendum failed by only one vote. It's been 25 years since the district has had to ask voters for a tax increase.
"The last election was a great civics lesson because it shows the importance of everyone's vote. So many people thought it would pass, they didn't vote," Volkening said.
Now, Volkening and other school board members have help from the Marengo Citizens Hope for Schools, a core group of 15 concerned parents and citizens who recruited about 50 people to spread the word by telephone calls and mailings.
Members of the board and Marengo Citizens also will be available to answer questions at a public informational meeting on the referendum scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 at Marengo High School, 816 E. Grant Highway.
The Nov. 7 referendum seeks to raise the district's tax rate from 92 cents to $1.42 per $100 assessed valuation over the next three years.
The proposed tax increase of 50 cents per $100 assessed valuation actually will cost taxpayers 32 cents, because the other 18 cents is already going to a working cash bond that is nearly paid off. Once the bond is retired, the 18 cents will be transferred to the education fund, said District 154 Supt. Jay Trickett.
The 32-cent tax hike will be phased in, with 12 cents the first year, 10 cents the second year and 10 cents the third year, Trickett said.
If approved, the owner of a $100,000 home can expect to pay $40 more property taxes the first year and $33 more in each of the next two years, for a total tax increase of $106, he said.
"We thought this would be a lesser blow" to phase in the tax increase over three years, Trickett explained.
Paula Bauman, chairman of the citizens group, said the group has targeted parents of Marengo High School students, since they are the people closest to the results of the referendum.
"No one likes a tax increase, but it will be money well-spent," Bauman said.
An unsuccessful referendum this November would force the school board to review program reductions that could affect regular or extra-curricular education, Trickett said.
Since it has been 25 years since the last successful referendum, the community needs to be updated.
"I go to talk to neighbors," Volkening said. "The farming community now have their children's children going to Marengo High School."
A tax cap restricted the district's ability to increase the tax rate to offset increasing expenses. Moreover, the district received 30 percent less in state aid this year, Trickett said. He said state funding dropped to 12 percent of the education fund in 1995 from 42 percent of the fund in 1980.
The district's $2.9 million education fund, its largest area of spending, has a projected deficit of $397,000 in the current fiscal year. That's down from a deficit of $560,330 in the 1994-95 fiscal year.
The district has had deficit spending for several years. In 1991, the school board sold a working cash bond for $1 million in the expectation that it would carry the education fund until its tax rate was increased or more state funds were forthcoming.
The bond will be paid off next year, with all funds exhausted. This would leave an estimated balance of $50,000 in the education fund, Trickett said.
Trickett said any hope of getting more money from Springfield now appears unrealistic: "With our current legislators, education funding has been a low priority in Illinois."

Here is a quick article, inspired in part by these two books:
I have not been writing too much lately, as I’ve spent more time than usual on Facebook and Instagram. Which, reveals that there are more than just the 3 components that I will discuss here, there is also the social component, where our 3 components can see the degree to which others have integrated their 3 components or not, and when we have and they have not, trying to talk to them about it is like this old game of minesweeper:
At the end of the day, we are getting to experience HIS-story (pandemic, price hikes, recession, potential revolution), and see it from our own unique perspective.
Not all of us suffer like the HIS-story books. Some of us have a great, peaceful, enlightening time, as we write OUR-story.
I hope you remember what is most important? And take the time to document for your self or others, it’s not all war and fear:
Now, the bulk of the article: we are spirit/information informing matter/body via energy/soul/emotions.
Some people don’t want to feel their emotions (their soul) so they feed it. Some people go on and on about how yummy food is. We are not here to eat our emotions. We are here to feel our emotions, and take the information as guidance: I feel this is off for me, I feel this is right for me. We are not here to play video games that rewards socially appropriate behavior and feelings. We are here to feel how we feel and take it as guidance.
I know, it can be a very uncomfortable, to tell another that what we thought we wanted, is not working out to feel right for us after all. But we just keep feeling worse, the longer we delay speaking our truth. This is why so many people stuff their emotions, instead of letting them be their guide. This is also why we should never push too hard or force others, because our mind doesn’t know what will work out right, sometimes we have to try something wrong, for spirit to show us, when we get there, what is right and wrong and why, via our emotions.
Many people think they are their bodies, and that they must save their bodies. This is in part true, but not really. Our body is our wet suit, that allows us to dive into deep, dense, cold water (for the metaphor only):
But, if you think for too long that you have to keep this wet suit alive, by injecting it with things that are non compatible for the soul, well, you just ejected spirit (which is information and guidance) from your life.
Yes, we should care for our body, so that maybe when our trip is done, our wet suit is in good enough condition to take with us. This is called ascension, or involution-evolution, the body is very interesting technology. But we destroy the body when we try to keep it alive with chemicals.
We are not here to live for ever. We are here to see what there is to see, to learn, to give back, and then to go, without harming others, if possible.
I hope this helps? Sending love.
Esogetic Medicine is literally about keeping these 3 components connected and communicating well together, so you can integrate, process, and live your life.
And the interaction with others will flow naturally from there.
The more integrated you are, the more you can see how integrated others are, the more you can hold a loving space, for their time on earth.

Every few faces several challenges asian lady online.com and bumps along the way of marriage. But a successful marriage usually takes work, every relationship does indeed, and it’s essential to keep a positive perspective and stay committed in the face of challenges.
Despite what we may have heard on the bigscreen or from your friends, powerful marriages is not going to happen in a single day. And even the very best couples have moments of resentment or perhaps anger.
So, just how can you location these times and steer clear of them from sabotaging the relationship?
The best ways is to get help early. That’s mainly because half of almost all marriages that end do so in the primary seven years, and if you’re here unhappy with the partner or perhaps marriage for a time, it’s time for you to talk.
A happy marriage starts with amazing advantages. A marriage built to last commences with a determination to preventing harsh and negative connections, just like criticism, disregard, defensiveness and stonewalling (withdrawing and shutting down).
In fact , exploration shows that a five-to-one ratio of positive to negative communications is actually a strong predictor of accomplishment in a relationship. It means, for every snide comment or perhaps outburst, there ought to be five positive interactions, like a kiss, a smile, a enhance or a great intentional point in time of playing hear the various other person’s perspective.
That ratio may well not appear to be a lot, but it’s actually really high pertaining to married those who been together for any long time and happen to be in good health. And it’s a ratio that’s apt to drop in a short amount of time, this is why it’s thus critical to ramp up the amount of positives.
It also means that each spouse has to make an effort to do their part. This means apologizing to get the harmful words or actions, currently taking responsibility and making compensation when likely.
Lastly, it means that each spouse has to recognize their blemishes and focus on them together. That might indicate a change in behavior or a different method problem-solving.
But you may be wondering what makes it each and every one worthwhile is that couples whom work on the weaknesses at first of marriage are far less likely to acquire conflicts and issues that will derail the relationship at a later time, and even trigger divorce. So if you may get your partner to comprehend that their particular flaws is really an http://resources.fiorano.com/blog/author/atul/page/13955/ inescapable part of being human, it’s going to much easier to move forward together and solve sticky conflicts.

PASADENA, CA-Down goes the champion! Turn the ball over and your chances of winning become a lot slimmer. If you are a football team turning the ball over four times in a quarter, it’s a good bet that you’re going to get smoked.
That’s the recipe Oregon used in putting up a Rose Bowl record in points as the Ducks moved with rapid precision in posting a 59-20 beat down of Florida State to advance to the national championship game against Ohio State on Jan. 12.
Oregon may very well have won this College Football Playoff semifinal game with the same ease as it showed, but Florida State helped put them in position to stop their 29-game winning streak by committing four fumbles in a 15-minute span that translated into 27 points for the Ducks.
The costly turnovers were a big reason why Florida State couldn’t make any real adjustments after intermission.
“It was the turnovers,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It was different because, when turnovers come, they change momentum. Momentum is different than making adjustments when guys are driving the football. If we can put the ball in the end zone on offense, it can help our defense out in a lot of situations.
“Transition defense we didn’t excel at. I thought the end of the first half they were playing very well. I felt comfortable coming out in the second half. I thought defense had played pretty well.
But I think momentum and the way they got the ball in the turnover situation, that was the key, and it made the difference.”
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, who won the Heisman Trophy as a redshirt freshman and led the Seminoles to a win in the national championship game last season, said just losing hurts all the way around.
“It hurts badder than whatever you can imagine, but the good thing is we live to fight another day,” Winston said. “We’ve got tons of great futures. No one likes to lose, man. I mean, losing is really not in my vocabulary, to be honest with you, but we fell short today. Got to man up and go ahead and just get better every day. I just hope that we can learn from this because I ain’t felt this way in a long time, I’ve got to say. So that’s something to smile on.”
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota definitely has something to smile about with the kind of season he has produced. Against Florida State, there was no Heisman Trophy jinx this year. Of the 639 yards in total offense Oregon ran up on Florida State, Mariota accounted for 400 in an all-around effort that saw Mr. Heisman Trrophy winner throw for 338 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another 62 on the ground with another score.
“It’s an incredible feeling,” Mariota said afterward. “When you prepare all week and you find success and are able to execute as we did, it does feel good. Hopefully, we can take a little bit of this momentum heading into the next game.”
Too many turnovers, too much speed and just being too good allowed Oregon to erupt for 27 points in the third and decisive quarter to topple Florida State in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual. The third quarter had to be the worst quarter Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher had to endure as the Seminoles turned the ball over four times in the period as the Ducks took their high-stepping game to another level in blowing open what figured to be a closely played contest if you judged how the first half went.
The sequence of errors in the third and fourth quarters took the sail out the Seminoles’ sail to a possible second national championship. If Winston and the Seminoles liked their chances with a just a 18-13 deficit at halftime, they probably had to look the other way in dismay in the final two periods as they watched Oregon pop the unbeaten balloon they had been riding on for the last two years.
A relatively close 18-13 lead turned into a 45-20 advantage by the time the third quarter ended mercilessly for Florida State. And that was the ballgame. For a moment, it looked like the fat lady was going to sing when Florida State stared down a 25-13 deficit early in the third quarter with the Seminoles needing to convert a third and forever play to keep the drive moving and not give Mariota a chance to put the dagger in.
Well, there is a reason why Winston won the Heisman Trophy. On third and long, Winston threaded a perfect, NFL-type throw along the sidelines to Jesus Wilson to keep the drive alive. On the same series, Winston found Wilson again, this time for a 18-yard touchdown pass to cut Oregon’s lead to 25-20. But that’s when the fat lady decided to take the stage, brush up on her vocal chords and wailed away, handing Florida State a lesson in concert humility.

Gambling Addiction Information
The act of gambling is simply the wagering of something of value with the intention of winning that something else of equal value. Gambling therefore requires three factors to exist: risk, consideration, and a reward. With the element of risk, it can be assumed that gambling is dangerous since it involves risks that are always present. However, considering the factor of risk creates the chance that by investing your time and effort and money in gambling you can lose everything.
This kind of addiction has two forms, namely, physical and psychological addictions. Physical addictions usually include alcohol, drugs, or sex addiction. An individual suffering from a physical addiction to gambling will need to seek professional help from a doctor or a specialist in the field. It is because certain types of addictions such as for example alcohol, drugs, and sex addiction can’t be treated through the standard means. In cases of addiction, professional help should be sought to take care of the condition properly.
Psychological addictions, on the other hand, are believed even higher risk than physical addictions because gambling addiction involves the subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind. Which means that the person will have to battle his subconscious impulses and behaviors rather than fighting with his conscious mind. Psychologically-induced addictions can be treated in two ways – through therapy and through drugs or alcohol. Though it has been proven that psychotherapy can help in cases of gambling addiction, some experts still recommend using drugs or alcohol as a form of treatment. The reason being certain forms of addictions may not be as an easy task to stop as alcohol and drugs, especially if they are using the habit for quite some time.
Gambling addicts usually resort to underhanded ways to be able to hide their addiction. For instance, they will begin to gamble more often and excessively to be able to win more money. These people may also begin to exaggerate the extent of the losses they have incurred to be able to convince themselves that they have won. They will be experiencing a lot of financial and emotional stress, which can intensify their psychological reliance on their gambling behavior.
The existence of legal gambling is prohibited in the United States. However, several states have created industries and business opportunities that promote the promotion and selling of lottery tickets, especially in states where lotteries are illegal. These states include New York, California and Illinois. Many state lotteries allow online gambling as well. Therefore, it is not difficult to find out how to play in virtually any declare that allows online lotteries and online gambling.
One of the most common types of addictions is progressive gambling 카지노 쿠폰 addiction, also called progressive thalassemia. It is characterized by progressive slow increase in the amount of money that an individual gambles each and every time he gambles. Progambling addicts will lose all their resources to the addiction, even though they are losing a lot of money. This is considered a form of legal gambling in many states.
A different type of gambling addiction is the so-called reckless gambling tendency. That is characterized by rapid lack of all of the resources an individual gambles on, even though they are losing a lot of money. People who have problems with this kind of gambling addiction will often gamble even if they don’t feel like gambling. This often results in financial problems for them and eventually to destruction of their personal lives and careers.
Overall, gambling can be a very destructive addiction. Those who are suffering from gambling addictions will often head to great lengths to gamble, whether they are winning or losing. Gambling addiction is often associated with other types of psychological problems such as for example anxiety, depression and other forms of mental disorders. If you want to know more about gambling addiction, then it would be wise to contact a specialist who can enable you to get the help that you need.

Showing Forth the Presence of God: Chapter 8, The Spiritual Life
- Chapter Eight The Spiritual Life As long as we live out from material sense, there will be discord, inharmony, ills, and evils. Only as we are able to make the transition to the spiritual consciousness of existence can we live free of the ups and downs, the good and evil, the health and sickness of material sense. God cannot be brought to the material sense of life. Mortal or material man cannot please God. "So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is not his. . . . For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God." 1 Continuing as mortal and material man, attempting to live the life that we were born into and brought up in and, at the same time, expecting to bring spiritual good or the activity of the Christ into our life must result in failure. No, first there must be a transition from the material sense of existence to the spiritual consciousness of life. What Characterizes Spiritual Existence? What is the major difference between the material sense of existence and the spiritual? In a material sense of existence, the necessary and essential things of life are found in the external: in dollars, investments, physical conditions of good, business, companionship, and home. These are all considered vital, and so all material existence is aimed at attaining more companionship, more happiness, more homes, more or better transportation, more of this or more of that, always centered on the external. Living out from the spiritual sense of existence, we recognize that we do not live by bread alone but by every word of God. Through that, we gain the understanding that the real meat of life is not the meat in a butcher shop but the meat the world knows not, and that is the spiritual substance of existence. We begin to understand the mystical or transcendental terms the Master used. "If thou knewest ...

Living by the Word: Chapter 2, Spiritual Discernment of the Bible
- Chapter Two Spiritual Discernment of the Bible The Bible, which is given to us as the word of spiritual wisdom, as revelations concerning the kingdom of God, must be spiritually discerned, but today even twenty centuries after the time of the Master, some religionists are still trying to interpret this hidden word of the kingdom literally, and, of course, are failing. There is a spiritual kingdom. There is also the son of God who spiritually discerns the nature of this kingdom, the things of God, the laws of God, and who knows how to live a God-centered life. This kingdom can never be entered with the human mind or human body. It must be spiritually discerned. If the kingdom of God were attained, if the things of God were understood, and if God were known aright, there would be none of the evils so evident on every hand: none of the sins, none of man's inhumanity to man, none of the diseases. All this would be wiped out in the understanding of God, because the understanding of God would leave no trace of sin or disease. Letting Go of the Man of Earth The statement, "My kingdom is not of this world," 1 sets forth very clearly that there is a difference between "My kingdom" and "this world." Later, Paul revealed that there are two men: There is the son of God, and there is "the natural man [who] receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 2 "The natural man" does not have the ability to discern spiritually. And so it is that we are living partly in the world of sense, "this world," and partly in the kingdom of God, but certainly those of us who are on the path are striving to "die" to our humanhood, to "the creature," 3 to "the natural man," in order that we may be reborn spiritually as children of God with spiritual discernment. To all sincere seekers, the question arises: Is there a way for us to drop the man of earth? Can we "die" to it? Can we be reborn of the ...

The Heart of Mysticism: December 1956, The Christ
- CHAPTER TWELVE: DECEMBER The Christ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. John 14:10-19 IN order to reach the kingdom of heaven, we must transcend the realm of mind and thought to the heights where the realm of Spirit unfolds and discloses itself. Upon entering the kingdom, we receive, within ourselves, the Word of God; the light of the Christ; the Spirit of God in man. Although we strive and press onward toward the kingdom only that the Word be received-always the Word is made flesh and dwells among us. Every time It is heard, It becomes manifest in the outer realm. Every time the divine impulse is felt, it becomes visible and tangible without. This Word of God is the substance of all form, the substance of all demonstration, the bread of life, the water of life eternal, the wine of inspiration; and therefore, when faced with any appearance of discord, inwardly we can say: "I and my Father are one. . . . All that the Father hath is mine. . . . I have meat ...

A Parenthesis in Eternity: Chapter I, The Two Worlds
- CHAPTER I THE TWO WORLDS There are two worlds. There is "this world," and there is "My kingdom." There is the world that we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell, the world that we live in, in our business and in our home with our family; and there is the world within, where we live when the Christ has been raised up in us, the world inside our consciousness where we are alone with God and where we tabernacle with the son of God in us. On one hand, there is the mortal man, and on the other, the spiritual son of God. Paul, who was spiritually and inwardly taught by the Master, described mortal man as the "creature," the "natural man" who "receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned"; and explained that "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Until we learn about the man who has his being in Christ-the man we must become-we are that "natural man," that "creature," that mortal who must put off mortality, that man who must "die daily." Progress on the spiritual path will be much more rapid once it is understood that this human or mortal man, this "creature," the "natural man," is entirely cut off from God, is never under the law or protection of God, and is never governed or sustained by God. If he were, could there be murder, rape, arson, or war? Could there be death if man were God-governed? Could there be disease? Could an airplane go hurtling out of the sky to kill all the people in it? If man were God-governed, would not disease have diminished? But has it not rather increased? For every disease that has been brought under control, have not two new ones, more deadly than the old, made their appearance? Yet every day millions upon millions of prayers go up to God; and then when a solution to the problems of the ills of the flesh comes, does it come from God or from a bottle of medicine, an antibiotic, or a new surgical discovery? Do not ...

- ... This truth that we have been knowing is the universal truth about all God's creation. It is not the truth about mortal man because mortal man is living in defiance of the laws of God. It is true only of that I that is living in conscious oneness with God, and we are living in that conscious oneness only when we are living the life of love, loving our neighbor as ourselves, loving our fellow man, forgiving even our persecutors and enemies. The mortal life is not of God: it is destructible. The life that is lived in the belief in good and evil is not under the law of God, and only when we live forgiveness, live in sharing and giving, are we living the God-life, that incorporeal, spiritual life that is indestructible, the life that not even flames can destroy or swords pierce. This life which we bring to our remembrance when we realize the true meaning of I is our God-given, immortal life, and we live it through love, and only through love. When selfishness, greed, lust, animality, hate, envy, and jealousy are permitted entrance into our consciousness, we are living a life apart from God, a life which has no support from God, and therefore a life which must come to an end. We can reject that human sense of life by renouncing the personal sense of self which is characterized by a lack of love, a lack of justice, or a lack of benevolence; and we can accept the I that is one with God, the I that is the Spirit of God that has come as our individual being that we might have life, and that we might share this life through love and forgiveness, by releasing everyone from all obligations to us, through praying for others, and through knowing the truth.

The Government of Eden: Chapter 11, When Peace Descends
- XI when peace descends T HE WORLD THAT GOD made in six days is the world that we are making with our labors. We are creating our new world every day with our mental and spiritual labors. We are creating a whole new world for ourselves, a whole new consciousness, and one day we will realize that we have reached it. Our labors have not been in vain. The Christ is risen; we have entered. "My people must enter a period of rest, a Sabbath," 1 in which life is by grace, "not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit." 2 And never forget this: It is a real experience, living by the power of God. It is not a biblical phrase. It is a real experience, living by the Spirit of God, living by grace, living in the Sabbath, where you no longer "take thought for your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink or wherewithal ye shall be clothed," 3 but My spirit goeth before you. The movement, the transition from law to grace, is done by you, within your consciousness, at a specific moment. It could be a moment like this one, in which you decide that the time has come to stop living by chance, by averages, by insurance statistics. In other words, the time has come to stop being a statistic, and to move out from among them. Come out and be separate and live under grace. It can only happen in one way. "If so be the Spirit of God be in you, then are you the children of God." 4 Until that time, you are a mortal; you are a human being; you are subject to age, change, limitation, war, peace, depression, boom, health, sickness, life and death, chance, luck, and horoscopes. But when you make the transition filled with the Spirit of God, "then are you children of God, and if children, heirs, and if heirs, joint-heirs with Christ in God to all of the spiritual kingdom." 5 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." 6 What a strange statement this is to come from a consciousness such as that of the Master! Somehow or other, we visualize Jesus, ...

Seek Ye First: Chapter 4, We Cannot Solve a Problem on the Level of the Problem
- Chapter Four We Cannot Solve a Problem on the Level of the Problem The spiritual life is dedicated to the realization of God as the source, the cause of life, and even the effect itself. It is also a revelation of immortality. Immortality, however, does not mean longevity. In fact, longevity and immortality have no relationship whatsoever to each other. Longevity has to do with a little longer span of physical or human life, whereas immortality has to do with the complete circle of life, that is, pre-existence before you came to this plane, and your experience on this plane, as well as the completed circle of life which goes on after this human span and relates more to the life of the Spirit than to the physical sense of life. If you are to understand immortality-and you must understand it if you would enjoy health, harmony, vitality, and youth of mind and body-you must understand that it relates to your immortal life, the life that has no beginning, as well as the life that has no ending. You cannot think of immortality as merely the continuity of this life after death. Life Without Beginning and Without End To understand immortality means to understand the scriptural statement, "In the beginning God. . . ." 1 -in the beginning life, in the beginning your life-"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him." 2 All creation has reference to the beginning, to God's own life as It is manifest or shown forth as the Son: God the Father and God the Son as one. Therefore, if you think of God as having no beginning and no ending, you must necessarily think of life as having no beginning and no ending, and if there is but one God, there is but one life. That one life, therefore, must be yours and mine, and it must be an immortal and eternal life. When you come to the teaching of the Master, you have it stated very clearly: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 3 . . . Before Abraham was, I am." 4 As a ...

Spiritual Discernment: Chapter 2, God Must Be an Experience, Not a Concept
- Chapter Two God Must Be an Experience, Not a Concept It is evident that whatever people have leaned or depended upon, whether material or mental, has not met their needs, and now the desperateness of the world situation is turning their attention to God. Many may seek in wrong directions, but in the end this will be of no major importance since it is not so much the way a person goes that counts, but the motive that impels him. Regardless of what path he chooses, be it ever so false, it will lead him to the kingdom of God if the motive behind his search is a true motive. If the motive that governs his life is a deep desire for truth or for God, he will find himself illumined and actually receiving the gift of the Christ Itself. In this age, however, students devote far too much attention to the demonstration of the joys and successes that are to come with illumination than they do to the illumination itself. Most truth-students are seeking the demonstration of forms of good, rather than the unfoldment of good. It is natural, normal, and right that we come into the realization and demonstration of spiritual harmony. But what determines the degree of our success is whether our motive is to leave our "nets"1 or to have our nets filled with fish. Every person can easily determine the integrity of his motive for himself. The continuous desire to increase the human sense of supply, the human sense of health, or the human sense of success is really an attempt to fill our nets with more fish, larger fish, or tastier fish; whereas the spiritual motive is to leave our nets and find the meaning of "My kingdom." Beyond Words to the Word There is a deep spiritual significance in the word My: "My kingdom is not of this world.2. . . My peace I give unto you.3. . My word. . . shall not return unto me void.4. . My thoughts are not your thoughts."5 My word, the word of power, is not your word or my word: it is nothing that you or I think, nothing that we have heard from another. My ...

The Altitude Of Prayer: Chapter 4, This Is Immortality
- ~ 4 ~ THIS IS IMMORTALITY LIFE, REAL LIFE, is lived in consciousness; it is lived in the secret place within ourselves. We do not begin to suspect what the God-life can be until we have contacted that fountain of Life within us. We are not really living if we think of life as something that exists between what is called birth and death. This is not life. This life is, as one of the ancient mystics called it, a parenthesis in eternity. It is often pictured as a circle and is usually spoken of as being eternal. But if we live only inside the parenthesis that begins with birth and ends at death, we are missing the greatest part of life, the eternal, infinite, and immortal structure in which we discover God's creation. In this brief interval called the parenthesis, we live largely in man's creation, and we miss God's creation. We miss the life and love of God; we miss sharing in the life and love of one another. If we know each other only as human beings, we are cheating ourselves of a tremendous delight. We are offspring of God, filled with the love, the life, and the Spirit of God, and this we must recognize. All the joys of spiritual being are embodied in us for sharing. That is why we are on earth. When the Master said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly," 1 did he mean that one man out of all the world's history had come to earth that we might have life? No, he meant that I within each of one of us has come that you and I might enjoy a more abundant life with each other. He also said that he had come to bring resurrection and life eternal. Then why have you and I come? Would it not be a sad commentary on God, if one of us were here to bring joy, peace, health, and freedom to the world, and the rest of the world were to do nothing but sit back and receive it? It would be unfortunate if it were given only to a dozen mystics to know and enjoy God and the spiritual nature of mankind. But life is not like that at all. It ...

Zika vaccine race spurred by crisis and profit potential
By Bill Berkrot
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The race to find protection against the Zika virus is fueled by something often missing from tropical disease research: the potential for big profit.
The prospect of a blockbuster vaccine against a mosquito-borne virus has accelerated the pace of development and attracted the interest of big drugmakers, including Sanofi SA (SASY.PA: Quote), GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK.L: Quote) and Takeda Pharmaceuticals (4502.T: Quote).
Although Zika infections are mild or asymptomatic in most people, demand for a vaccine is expected to be strong because it can cause devastating birth defects, pharmaceutical executives and disease experts said.
The most lucrative market is seen in travelers seeking inoculation against the virus that has moved rapidly across the Americas and is the only mosquito-borne disease also spread through sex.
"It scares people," said Scott Weaver, a virologist with the University of Texas and chairman of the Zika task force for the Global Virus Network. "Europeans and Americans can pay a pretty high price for these kinds of vaccines."
A vaccine could come to market in as little as two years. Even if the current outbreaks in Latin America and the Caribbean burn out by that time, people living in those regions are expected to want protection against a return of Zika.
Tens of millions of travelers from United States and other wealthy nations, including people on business trips with corporate-sponsored health coverage, are expected to get vaccines before visiting areas where Zika is circulating.
"If you consider just a portion of the U.S. traveler population, we can conservatively envision a Zika market opportunity exceeding $1 billion" a year, said Joseph Kim, chief executive of Inovio Pharmaceuticals INO.O, a Pennsylvania company that is farthest along in the development path with human testing of a vaccine candidate underway in hard hit Puerto Rico.

Your Immediate Future Complications for Medical care Managing
The health-related device is up against a complex world wide web of problems such as ‘demographic shift’ and expanding likelihood of persistent sicknesses among the extensive human population of both the constructed and producing areas, expanding schedule of globalization of technical developments, migration and global range of motion, greater purchaser objectives and climbing expense. This entails the necessity of a robust and effective health care system that not only prevents and defers up to the point later in life the problems people have at the beginning in daily life attributable to loss of safety measures that must indeed protect the health requires within the total inhabitants especially, senior citizens with regards to their community participation, self-achievement and self-respect (Braun 2009, 7).same day essay
The landscape of medical care system all over the world is undergoing unprecedented modifications to the wake of rising new and challenging developments having policymakers, governments, and also medical industry combine to reach, review and arrange for new dangers, struggles and programs ahead of time. One of the major ongoing and long term future issues is super fast surge in the number of aging adults and intensely aging population people who find themselves creating considerably more heavy standby time with the health related system when compared to youthful. Quick proliferation in medical technologies has maintained level with ongoing existence-style and design (so called ‘civilization illness’, a change in food patterns, less healthy weight loss diets, tobacco use, alcoholic drink and drug use and absence of physical demands) correlated medical conditions like coronary soul sicknesses, type 2 diabetes and tumors, but rate and access are concerns most government authorities are grappling with. Although there is a proliferation of growing new delivery designs, there exists a crucial scarcity in accessibility of human budget. There exists a 4.3 million shortfall globally from the source of medical doctors, medical workers and midwives (WHO 2006 in Adams et al 2008, 10). The momentum of technological enhancements in pharmaceuticals, medical operation, analysis, telehealth and various parts has made it feasible to control continual medical conditions and increase everyday life in many international locations, particularly the constructed marketplace (Judith 2011, 3).
Adams et al. (2008) emphasize the replacing of reactive tactic with positive deal with; challenging which will expedite a paradigmatic shift in the complete gamut of medical care treatment as well as the benefits the fact that the care services present. Health-related structure generally in most countries is reactive with its norms and exercise the fact that main place emphasis is on diagnosis and treatments for the unwell. In this customary reactive health related technique is not involved along with the individual till they go down sickly and finally get very high, increasingly unaffordable will cost you in managing the ailment. Persistent ailments, for example coronary coronary disease, type two diabetes and malignancy which alongside one another membership in excess of 50 % of the world’s disorder responsibility are remedied by reactive health care systems which consentrate on procedure after the patient drops sickly. This normal rehearse is to be replaced instead by additional built-in assertive maintenance techniques available as custom-made preventing, on time forecast, early finding, treatment solution and disaster leadership for that significantly more healthy society for a more affordable (WHO 2005 in Adams et al. 2008, 4).
Health and fitness as a man perfect along with people’s escalating information, understanding and of course as a consequence of influence of consumerism, persons desire a greater number of from an witout a doubt on a financial basis constrained method. Equitable ability to access excellent quality of hospital treatment and look after all is really a general our correct; the personal viability belonging to the health and wellbeing product also needs to be made certain. Hitting an affordable steadiness in between the several central targets- equitable obtain, outstanding health care and personal financial sustainability can be described as serious potential concern for health care supervision.

Doctor of Philosophy, University of California Davis (2009)
Mutations in the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene Rb are involved in many forms of human cancer. In this study, we investigated the early consequences of inactivating Rb in the context of cellular reprogramming. We found that Rb inactivation promotes the reprogramming of differentiated cells to a pluripotent state. Unexpectedly, this effect is cell cycle independent, and instead reflects direct binding of Rb to pluripotency genes, including Sox2 and Oct4, which leads to a repressed chromatin state. More broadly, this regulation of pluripotency networks and Sox2 in particular is critical for the initiation of tumors upon loss of Rb in mice. These studies therefore identify Rb as a global transcriptional repressor of pluripotency networks, providing a molecular basis for previous reports about its involvement in cell fate pliability, and implicate misregulation of pluripotency factors such as Sox2 in tumorigenesis related to loss of Rb function.

Histone modifications and DNA methylation represent two layers of heritable epigenetic information that regulate eukaryotic chromatin structure and gene activity. UHRF1 is a unique factor that bridges these two layers; it is required for maintenance DNA methylation at hemimethylated CpG sites, which are specifically recognized through its SRA domain and also interacts with histone H3 trimethylated on lysine 9 (H3K9me3) in an unspecified manner. Here we show that UHRF1 contains a tandem Tudor domain (TTD) that recognizes H3 tail peptides with the heterochromatin-associated modification state of trimethylated lysine 9 and unmodified lysine 4 (H3K4me0/K9me3). Solution NMR and crystallographic data reveal the TTD simultaneously recognizes H3K9me3 through a conserved aromatic cage in the first Tudor subdomain and unmodified H3K4 within a groove between the tandem subdomains. The subdomains undergo a conformational adjustment upon peptide binding, distinct from previously reported mechanisms for dual histone mark recognition. Mutant UHRF1 protein deficient for H3K4me0/K9me3 binding shows altered localization to heterochromatic chromocenters and fails to reduce expression of a target gene, p16(INK4A), when overexpressed. Our results demonstrate a novel recognition mechanism for the combinatorial readout of histone modification states associated with gene silencing and add to the growing evidence for coordination of, and cross-talk between, the modification states of H3K4 and H3K9 in regulation of gene expression.

The DNTM3A and DNMT3B de novo DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are responsible for setting genomic DNA methylation patterns, a key layer of epigenetic information. Here, using an in vivo episomal methylation assay and extensive bisulfite methylation sequencing, we show that human DNMT3A and DNMT3B possess significant and distinct flanking sequence preferences for target CpG sites. Selection for high or low efficiency sites is mediated by the base composition at the -2 and +2 positions flanking the CpG site for DNMT3A, and at the -1 and +1 positions for DNMT3B. This intrinsic preference reproducibly leads to the formation of specific de novo methylation patterns characterized by up to 34-fold variations in the efficiency of DNA methylation at individual sites. Furthermore, analysis of the distribution of signature methylation hotspot and coldspot motifs suggests that DNMT flanking sequence preference has contributed to shaping the composition of CpG islands in the human genome. Our results also show that the DNMT3L stimulatory factor modulates the formation of de novo methylation patterns in two ways. First, DNMT3L selectively focuses the DNA methylation machinery on properly chromatinized DNA templates. Second, DNMT3L attenuates the impact of the intrinsic DNMT flanking sequence preference by providing a much greater boost to the methylation of poorly methylated sites, thus promoting the formation of broader and more uniform methylation patterns. This study offers insights into the manner by which DNA methylation patterns are deposited and reveals a new level of interplay between members of the de novo DNMT family.

The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (Rb) is a potent and ubiquitously expressed cell cycle regulator, but patients with a germline Rb mutation develop a very specific tumor spectrum. This surprising observation raises the possibility that mechanisms that compensate for loss of Rb function are present or activated in many cell types. In particular, p107, a protein related to Rb, has been shown to functionally overlap for loss of Rb in several cellular contexts. To investigate the mechanisms underlying this functional redundancy between Rb and p107 in vivo, we used gene targeting in embryonic stem cells to engineer point mutations in two consensus E2F binding sites in the endogenous p107 promoter. Analysis of normal and mutant cells by gene expression and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that members of the Rb and E2F families directly bound these two sites. Furthermore, we found that these two E2F sites controlled both the repression of p107 in quiescent cells and also its activation in cycling cells, as well as in Rb mutant cells. Cell cycle assays further indicated that activation of p107 transcription during S phase through the two E2F binding sites was critical for controlled cell cycle progression, uncovering a specific role for p107 to slow proliferation in mammalian cells. Direct transcriptional repression of p107 by Rb and E2F family members provides a molecular mechanism for a critical negative feedback loop during cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis. These experiments also suggest novel therapeutic strategies to increase the p107 levels in tumor cells.

Causes underlying inter-individual variations in DNA methylation profiles among normal healthy populations are not thoroughly understood. To investigate the contribution of genetic variation in DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) genes to such epigenetic variation, we performed a systematic search for polymorphisms in all known human DNMT genes [DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, DNMT3L and DNMT2 (TRDMT1)] in 192 healthy males and females. One hundred and eleven different polymorphisms were detected. Of these, 24 were located in coding regions and 10 resulted in an amino acid change that may affect the corresponding DNMT protein structure or function. Association analysis between all major polymorphisms (frequency > 1%) and quantitative DNA methylation profiles did not return significant results after correction for multiple testing. Polymorphisms leading to an amino acid change were further investigated for changes in global DNA methylation by differential methylation hybridization. This analysis revealed that a rare change at DNMT3L (R271Q) was associated with significant DNA hypomethylation. Biochemical characterization confirmed that DNMT3L(R271Q) is impaired in its ability to stimulate de novo DNA methylation by DNMT3A. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation based analysis using CpG island microarrays revealed that the hypomethylation in this sample preferentially clustered to subtelomeric genomic regions with affected loci corresponding to a subset of repetitive CpG islands with low predicted promoter potential located outside of genes.

Post-translational modifications of histones serve as docking sites and signals for effector proteins and chromatin-remodeling enzymes, thereby influencing many fundamental cellular processes. Nevertheless, there are huge gaps in the knowledge of which proteins read and write the 'histone code'. Several techniques have been used to decipher complex histone-modification patterns. However, none is entirely satisfactory owing to the inherent limitations of in vitro studies of histones, such as deficits in the knowledge of the proteins involved, and the associated difficulties in the consistent and quantitative generation of histone marks. An alternative technique that could prove to be a useful tool in the study of the histone code is the use of synthetic peptide arrays (SPOT blot analysis) as a screening approach to characterize macromolecules that interact with specific covalent modifications of histone tails.

The DNMT3-like protein, DNMT3L, is required for germ line DNA methylation, although it is inactive as a DNA methyltransferase per se. Previous studies have shown that DNMT3L physically associates with the active de novo DNA methyltransferases, DNMT3A and DNMT3B, and stimulates their catalytic activities in a cell culture system. However, the mechanism by which DNMT3L stimulates de novo methylation remains unclear. Here, we have purified the full-length human DNMT3A2 and DNMT3L proteins and determined unique conditions that allow for the proper reconstitution of the stimulation of DNMT3A2 de novo methyltransferase activity by DNMT3L. These conditions include the use of buffers resembling physiological conditions and the preincubation of the two proteins. Under these conditions, maximal stimulation is reached at equimolar amounts of DNMT3L and DNMT3A2 proteins, and the catalytic efficiency of DNMT3A2 is increased up to 20-fold. Biochemical analysis revealed that whereas DNMT3L on its own does not significantly bind to the methyl group donor, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), it strongly increases the binding of SAM to DNMT3A2. DNA binding, on the contrary, was not appreciably improved. Analysis of DNA methyltransferase complexes in solution using size exclusion chromatography revealed that DNMT3A2 forms large structures of heterogeneous sizes, whereas DNMT3L appears as a monomer. Binding of DNMT3L to DNMT3A2 promotes a dramatic reorganization of DNMT3A2 subunits and leads to the formation of specific complexes with enhanced DNA methyltransferase activity and increased SAM binding.

South Africa-based urban groover Enock Guni aka Nox is set to embark on an international tour in September.
The tour will begin in the United Kingdom on September 30 and end in Australia on October 29.
“In the UK I will first perform in Birmingham on September 30 and then in Leeds on October 1 before going to Australia where I will perform in Melbourne on October 28 and finally in Perth on October 29,” said Guni.
He said after his performances in Australia he would be heading to the United States and then Canada, but details of the shows are still to be released.
Guni said the tour would be an opportunity for him to perform tracks from all three of his latest albums Classic Love Songs, 50 Minutes to Fame and Pasichigare.
“Classic Love Songs has 10 tracks and is mainly composed of slow mid-tempo songs which people are used to in my beat. 50 Minutes to Fame is an African urban contemporary album with upbeat songs all in English,” he said.
The singer, who is usually identified with slow to mid-tempo songs with an R&B feel said Pasichigare would definitely excite listeners and also impress them at the same time because of the sudden change from urban contemporary to traditional beat.
He said in Pasichigare, he had included a wedding song Makorokoto with Zimbabwe’s mbira queen Chiwoniso Maraire, one of the country’s internationally acclaimed musicians.
“People out there should expect to see me at my best and I’m definitely going to proudly represent Zimbabwe,” said Guni.
He said the tour had been made possible by Australian promotion company Afrostar.
According to Guni, Afrostar spokesperson Keith Edwards, wrote to him saying: “This event is to basically boost your profile from just local artist to international performer.”


Emirates Stadium boss discusses summer transfer plans.
Despite Wenger’s denials, the Gunners will continue their pursuit of Santi Cazorla and Nuri Sahin and the manager expects Nicklas Bendtner, Sebastian Squillaci and Ju Young Park to leave the club, which would create space within the 25-man squad for new signings.
‘Bendtner, Squillaci and Park will be on their way to go somewhere,’ said Wenger on Sunday. ‘Arshavin, it depends. We have to sit together and talks. He could still have a future at the club.’
SOURCE: Daily Mail
Arsene Wenger was clearly looking to see the quartet he has named as none of those mentioned were part of the Arsenal party that traveled to Asia for their pre-season tour, now all he has to hope for is that buyers will be ready to make sufficient offers for the four players the Gunners boss can clearly do without.
Andrei Arshavin is perhaps the one player who could play himself back into contention but a lot depends on whether the Russian has his heart set on a permanent move back to his home country, having spent half of last term helping his Zenit St Petersburg side to a domestic title success.
Nicklas Bendtner spent last term on loan at Sunderland and had a relatively successful Euro 2012 finals with the Danish national team so one would imagine there are a few interested parties keen on the big striker.
Sebastien Squillaci’s spell at the North London club has been fairly horrendous. The French veteran was brought in to steady the ship at the back, to add experience a know how but the former Sevilla man has looked off the pace and woefully out of his depth when called upon.
Park Chu-Young clearly does not have the backing of Arsenal boss Wenger, who only handed the South Korean one Premier League sub appearance last term.
This source outlines Arsenal’s continued pursuit of a pair of attack minded La Liga midfielders. Moves for Malaga’s Santi Cazorla appear to be continuing whilst Wenger would apparently also like to bring in Real Madrid man Nuri Sahin, though that move seems more likely to be a loan spell, perhaps to cover for Jack Wilshere, who will be sidelined until at least October and perhaps beyond.

Chicago guard Derrick Rose remains on the court after suffering a knee injury late in the fourth quarter of Game 1 against the 76ers on Saturday. Rose is out for the rest of the playoffs with a torn ACL.
CHICAGO -The 76ers' chances to win this first-round series didn't improve with some magical piece of strategy to get the ball to the basket.
Rather, those chances improved with a simple jump-stop, when Bulls star Derrick Rose started driving the lane, like he has done countless times before.
There were 77 seconds left in the Sixers' 103-91 loss Saturday in Game 1 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series when Rose planted his leg to jump, then went crashing to the floor, clutching his left knee. ...

On Saturday, June 16, I was able to steal a few hours for myself so I hustled off to check out “The Seed” at 82 Mercer Street in Soho. “The Seed” was an event that happened on June 16 and 17 for the benefit of anyone interested in learning about a plant-based lifestyle. I found out about this event at the last minute so I apologize for not posting about it in advance for those of you who may have wanted to attend; however, I will take this opportunity to tell you about my “Seed Experience” and the highlights for me. For your interest, two non-profit organizations benefitted from the event’s proceeds: The New York Coalition for Healthy School Food and Mercy For Animals.
When I arrived at 82 Mercer Street at about 12:30 PM, I was stunned by the incredibly long lines on the street for the two food trucks: “The Cinnamon Snail” and “Mac ‘N Soul Good…Miami’s Original Vegan Food Truck.” I was dying to try food from “The Cinnamon Snail” since it is, apparently, all the rage in NJ and NYC. For those of you who are not familiar with it, “The Cinnamon Snail” (which serves vegan food only) parks its truck at different locations each day throughout NYC and NJ. I believe the truck is at a midtown NYC location every Friday but I’m not quite sure. To find out where to find the truck, you have to check them out on Facebook and Twitter. Since I was eager to go into the event, I decided to order food from the truck on my way out since I knew it would be there all afternoon. I heard a lot of positive feedback about the food from both food trucks that day. At the end of this post, I will tell you about the food I ordered from “The Cinnamon Snail” (which was yummy) and show you pictures. Again, everyone was also raving about “Mac “N Soul Good’s” food, as well, but I did not try it. Here are photos of both food trucks.
When I first arrived at the event (which was on the 2nd floor of 82 Mercer Street), I was excited to see all the food and product vendors with their samples displayed throughout the space. I had just missed the film screening of the movie “Vegucated” and I was disappointed. I heard it was great and I will order the DVD from Amazon.com at a later time. I walked around the space and was immediately drawn to the table set up by “Vegan Bodega”. “Vegan Bodega” sells many fabulous vegan food products which I was lucky enough to sample that day. I was so taken with them that I bought a jar of their Chia Nut Butter (chia and peanut butter), Vegan Queso (a creamy, spicy dip) and an all natural plant-based “Bee Free” honey which was made primarily from apples. I was super-impressed with the “Bee Free” honey since I am always skipping over recipes which call for honey and now I don’t have to. “Vegan Bodega” is in the process of opening up a store on the lower east side of NYC. Here is a photo of some of the products I came home with on Saturday.
Next to “Vegan Bodega’s” table was an area set up by the young and beautiful Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, founder of celebrity favorite “Vaute Couture.” For those of you who are not familiar with “Vaute Couture”, let me tell you that they make the most amazing chic vegan jackets and coats. They also have some adorable tee-shirts, sweatshirts, headbands and a cute new line of jewelry. I will definitely be purchasing a new coat this year from “Vaute Couture’s” new shop in Williamsburg, New York. In the photo above, you could see the cute heart patch I walked away with stating “no fur for this girl.” I have to think of a strategic place to sew it on a carefully picked article of clothing. Inspirational Leanne radiates sweetness and beauty as you can see from the photo below. Some of her cool jewelry is also shown below.
While I was tasting the delicious Smoked Paprika Hummus from Candle 79′s table (the recipe is in the new Candle 79 cookbook), the amazing Colleen Patrick-Goudreau took center stage to address the “blocks and excuses that keep us from making changes.” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is (to me and to many others) a “rock-star” in the vegan community. She wrote some amazing vegan cookbooks, including “The Vegan Table”, “Color Me Vegan” and “The Joy of Vegan Baking.” “The Vegan Table” happens to be one of my favorite’s and I intend to purchase Ms. Goudreau’s other cookbooks in the near future. Her other popular books include “The Vegan’s Daily Companion” and “The 30-Day Vegan Challenge.” While listening to Ms. Goudreau’s inspirational lecture, during which she debunked some of the most common nutritional myths, it became clear to me why her immensely popular podcast “Vegetarian Food For Thought” is so successful. Ms. Goudreau generously signed her books and took photos with a very long line of her fans. The photo below shows Ms. Goudreau with happy fan DJ Sherdina Straughn (ie.”The Girl”) after Ms. Goudreau signed several of Sherdina’s books.
After Ms. Goudreau’s exhilarating lecture, I had the opportunity to try some vegan mac ‘n cheese and soy chicken drumsticks from the “Foodswings” station. Amazingly satisfying!!! “Foodswings” is an eatery located at 295 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn which serves vegan comfort food including burgers, heros, fries and sides. They also have quite an assortment of shakes, desserts and floats!!! I also tasted a delicious “BLT” sandwich from the “Loving Hut” station. “Loving Hut” is a wonderful vegan fast food eatery located on 7th Ave in NYC between 29th and 30th Streets. I was also lucky enough to sample some delicious raw vegan pastries, including a “molten cheddar jalapeno cornbread” and a “chocolate coconut cornbread,” from “Lovebug Kitchen.”
I really enjoyed looking at the many fabulous and interesting products displayed at the event. I bought a nice “Chai Soap” from “The Fuzzy Bunny” which sold a variety of great products including vegan “yarn” (which I would have bought if I were a knitter). Check out the following photo.
I bought a soft, lovely headband from “Djuna Shay” which sold beautiful eco-friendly scarves, headbands, wraps and other gorgeous items with the most outstanding colors and patterns. They will soon be making maxi-dresses too!!!
I also enjoyed testing the samples from “Anti-Bad-Mood Sprays.” The aromatherapy oils used for these sprays are custom blended to produce positive emotional responses. They are organically sourced whenever possible and certified vegan. Their most popular sprays are “Apathy” and “The Antidote for Ego.”
Some gorgeous custom jewelry was displayed by “Lux Alchemy.” Check out the interesting piece worn by its creator, Dawn, in the photo below.
There were some great natural artisan makeup products (including fabulous lip glosses) by a company called “Kookla.” I tried some great samples of really delicious organic vegan raw food bars by a company called “Core.” My favorite flavor was the raw walnut banana. I fell in love with the “Red Jacket” juices which you can find at Whole Foods and other supermarkets.
Although I was only at “The Seed” for a few hours, I enjoyed every minute sampling the foods, checking out the products and watching Colleen Patrick-Goudreau in action. I wish I could have stayed for Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s lecture, but I had other obligations. The icing on the cake of my day was eating the food from “The Cinnamon Snail” truck.” I sampled the Tempeh Sandwich with Maple Mustard, the Korean BBQ Seitan on a huge pita pocket, the freshly squeezed lemonade with agave nectar, and an assortment of pastries including a toasted coconut donut!! YUM!!!! The following are photos of my “Cinnamon Snail” food. Everything looks a little messy but tasted awesome!! You may be wondering how I ate so much food in a few hours. In my defense, I only sampled here and there (except for the food from “The Cinnamon Snail” which I devoured). Okay, so I’m a bit of a pig! Whatever!!

Hurt happens. Pain happens. Disappointment and failed expectations may occur (of course those are self imposed). Some one or some people will talk about you behind your back, on the side of you, or so blatantly loud in front of you, they might as well start a personal convo with you. You will be betrayed. You will be lied on or falsely accused. You may be cheated on. You may be fired. You will experience loss:of loved ones, of possessions, of friends, and of lovers.
This will happen, and if you're secure in yourself, and optimistic about life, you will keep living and keep thriving. Unfortunately, many people live life grudgingly holding on to the negative experience they had with people or situations. Even though they know that life is fair, and you fairly experience examples from above, they still grow in anger. Some people become so engulfed in the seemingly atrocities of their life, that they want to publicly shame and blame others. Well I have some thoughts on that.
Don't blame anyone about anything because what's done is done. Even if you've been shot or robbed, it happened, and to a degree you can try to obtain justice, but the true justice that rules over the life of someone who has caused pain in your life will come without your intervention. I believe everyone reaps what they sow, and it's for sure that if I try to step in and control what someone else reaps, I'll be reaping some not so pretty fruits myself. Nowadays people like to use social media to humiliate others or vent about the people and ways that negatively impact their lives the most.
In the past month or so we've seen people go to the extent of leaking nude photos of celebs and snap chat media of teenagers. Twitter and Facebook are abound with screen shots of inappropriate conversations and pics of people's exes doing them dirty. Every now and again I see (usually a female) venting about someone in their life doing them wrong. One of the worst, is when people think they're posting a "general" status' because they didn't mention a name, but the energy of the status emits pure passive aggressiveness.
The point of it all, learn to manage your emotions and thoughts healthily and in private. Unless you are putting out a "caution" message for someone who intentionally spreads and std, or has the tendency to abuse others in some way, avoid taking justice in your own hands. Because we all have energy that can be transferred. When you speak and promote negativity, you are literally spreading that energy. Instead of diffusing your hurt or anger in a way that will help you grow and transform, you will unintentionally ignite the same emotions in another. In addition, you begin to sow seeds that might lead to more unpleasant circumstances in your own future.
I Know that it can feel good to tell others what someone has "done to you." It satisfies your ego because you get to elevate yourself and diminish another. You get to get revenge by shaming them and secretly hoping your audience can build up an emotional wall against or mental block of the individual. I get it, I've been there, but you also must remember that the energy you decide to hold on to, and emit, will impact your health, your ability to love, and even your mental clarity. Learning to forgive another is essential. We can all be unforgivable, and you are not perfect, so you must learn to let go. It may be difficult, but learn to heal by reflecting on the lessons you learned, and how you can become a stronger, wiser and more discerning individual because of your circumstance. Use your lesson to help another heal, constructively.
Life is too beautiful to harbor on to and promote the negativity in your life. Don't block your own opportunities of abundance and joy because of another's actions. That person will receive whatever lessons of humility God and the Universe want them to experience. It takes a lot more courage and discipline to practice acceotance in the midst of hurt. In self love, if you can accept the imperfections in you, you can accept the imperfections of another. You are on an intentional journey of transformation and love, you must act like it. You don't embody peace when it's convenient. It's more important to embody peace when you have situations in your life that can normally rob it from you. Knowing and learning to keep going despite hurt is an act of strength. The more you build that muscle, the stronger it becomes. The muscle of forgiveness. it may take time, but it will be worth it.
Lastly, social media is forever. It is the ultimate technological footprint. Use it responsibly. Learn and let go.

New leaked photos of the iPad mini have emerged on the Chinese website digi.163, displaying a 9-pin connector, a rear camera, two speakers at the bottom of the device, and an aluminum design.
Like Us on Facebook
However, this isn’t the first time that photos have trickled onto the internet. Near the end of August, tech website Giz-China released images of the alleged Apple device’s casing. According to AppleInsider, the more recent photos show a headphone jack at the top of the mini, which was previously located at the bottom in Giz-China’s leaked pictures.
According to CNET, the photos indicate the presence of a rear-facing camera with an LED flash, a FaceTime camera at the top of the screen, a thinner bezel than its bigger brother, smaller dock connectors, a volume control interface on the right side of the iPad, and a mute switch on the left.
The iPad mini is widely speculated to have a 7.85-inch display with1024 x 768 resolution. AllThingsD suggests that the mini will only be introduced after the iPhone 5 is “out the door” at a special press conference of its own in October.
The device’s rumored specs include an A5X CPU and 8GB of storage and up for the base model. The mini will likely run on iOS 6, Apple’s latest iteration of its proprietary operating system.
After Amazon unveils the Kindle Fire 2 at its Thursday press conference, the tablet market will be home to another powerful contender. Apple plans a press conference of their own for September 12, but the word is that the show will put the spotlight on the iPhone 5, diffusing hopes that the iPad mini would be revealed as well. Which of the two rumored tablets will you be buying this fall?

Note: In the end, Grace didn’t have Sandifer. I believe these were the start of her seizures.
Grace has been behaving really strangely lately and I have assumed that this is due to anxiety. In my research, I’ve read the studies on Rett mice and their increased anxiety and stress response levels and took that to mean that this must be the explanation for Grace’s sudden strange changes which include instant stiffness, so rigid that we can’t bend her arms and she twists and contorts in unnatural ways that make her very uncomfortable. As you can see in the photo to the right, she rolls her eyes back. Also with this is very strange head movements and a look as if Grace has disappeared for a moment. These last from 1-3 minutes and every single description from this I read on Wikipedia describes what Grace is experiencing.
So the other day, I spoke to her beloved Dr. L (we LOVE this lady!) and she mentioned Sandifer Syndrome. I was frustrated and thinking “you’re not listening to me!” when I said I thought it was anxiety, but the more I look into it, the more sense it makes that this is exactly what Grace is going through.
Sandifer only happens in 1% of reflux cases and usually subsides by the age of three except in cases of severe mental disability, in which case it can extend to adolescence. We’ve increased her reflux meds and she’s starting the muscle relaxer Baclofen to ease the spasms. Balcofen is a really interesting medication used to treat things like alcohol dependence, Lou Gehrig’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis. I just hate seeing this take her body over and causing her pain. As if she hasn’t had enough stolen from her by Rett 🙁
