Welcome to episode 70 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I’ll be talking about the virtually unknown 1988 City Pop compilation, “Christmas Lovers” from BBM Records.
This is one of those albums that gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. I’d spent hours listening to City Pop Christmas songs and playlists on YouTube, and I was familiar with all the really popular songs and most of the more obscure ones as well. Everything here was entirely new to me, and each of the songs was fantastic. How it’s flown under the radar for so long escapes me. It was the same feeling I had the first time I listened to ZE Records’ “A Christmas Record” in the late 90s.
While the artists here are all extremely obscure and don’t seem to have done anything beyond this one album, I hope I help to shed a little light on their work. This has become one of my favorite Japanese Christmas albums, and I feel it holds its own against the other better-known 1980s compilations.
Be sure to join me back here next week for my special New Year’s Eve episode. This time, I’ll be covering the Blue Diamonds, who were known as the Indonesian Everly Brothers. It’s a short, wonderful album on par with the Christmas music from their American contemporaries. If you like early American Rock, you’re sure to enjoy it.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

We all know the Samsung Galaxy S4 inside out – we didn’t think even Samsung could tell us anything about this device that we didn’t already know, but they just did. At the Samsung Premiere event in Earl’s Court London, Samsung has unveiled five colour options to complement the White Frost and Black Myst S4 variants on the market now.
What colours can you expect? As pictured below, the Galaxy S4 will be released in Blue Arctic, Purple Mirage, Red Aurora, Brown Autumn and Pink Twilight.
Giving you a recap as to what’s on board the Samsung Galaxy S4, the flagship offers up a 7.9mm thin plastic body with a removeable back cover and battery. The fascia is loaded with a 5-inch Full HD display offering Super AMOLED screen technology and a sky high PPI of 441, as well as a physical home button and a 2-megapixel front facing camera.
The phone also has nine sensors dotted around its person, as well as a 13-megapixel camera around the back. Packed with Samsung’s Smart Features, the Galaxy S4 is seperated from the masses with tech that watches your eyes, detects a hover as well as a touch and even lets you scroll through your photos with little more than a gesture.
The S4 is a gaming monster whatever colour you get it in thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor inside. Paired with 2GB RAM and Android 4.2, the phone will make short work of HD movies and any other multimedia you throw its way.
Samsung has yet to give us any indication as to when we can expect the Galaxy S4 in these fetching array of colours, though you can pick up the White Frost or Black Myst version right now for around £35 per month or £539 offline.

Whether you roast the beets for this Roasted Beet Salad on a campfire grill, barbecue, or in the oven, they become sweet and concentrated - a perfect base for a rich port wine dressing and a complement of salty feta cheese and toasted walnuts. It's a delicious way to enjoy the humble beet. (Skip to recipe.)
We've still been enjoying some glorious autumn days - just wonderful for a couple more dinners in our Campfire Cooking series. We've been having such fun planning, cooking, and enjoying a different campfire-themed dinner each month.
In September, my cooking friend, Sabina, and I were in our glory with this wonderful harvest feast. We've been finding that a theme seems to naturally present itself to each of our campfire dinner menus, and this one was the Red Thread that ran through it. Every course had something red in it, either from the port wine reduction we made to the natural red colour of the plums in the dessert. September's dinner was a symphony of fall flavours - beets, pears, walnuts, port wine, grapes, onions, plums, whiffs of spices and rich cheeses and wine. The cooking was so much fun outdoors, with all the beautiful fall colours in Sabina's yard and the captivating aromas of a magnificent dinner grilling on the coals.
Campfire Cooking: Harvest Feast Menu
Roasted Beet Salad with Feta, Walnuts, and Port Wine Vinaigrette
Pear, Gorgonzola & Black Rice Risotto
Lamb Shashlik Kebabs with Onions and Grapes, Grilled Carrots with Cumin and Honey, Grilled Brussels Sprouts,
Grilled Plums, Whipped Cream, and Campfire-Griddled Welsh Cakes
First Course: Roasted Beet Salad . . . This was one of the stars of the show. We wrapped sweet red beets in foil and roasted them over the fire to concentrate their natural sugars. We grilled a couple onion halves over the coals til they had a few crisp black grill marks. This gave a sweet smoky char to the salad (and can be replicated by grilling onion slices in a dry skillet over medium-high heat). The beets and onions were tossed with a tangy vinaigrette made of reduced port wine, balsamic vinegar and oil. We arranged the roasted beet salad atop some lovely fresh corn salad still fresh from the garden, and showered it with salty feta cheese crumbles and toasted walnuts. This salad is the sweet taste of autumn on a plate and was my favourite dish of the whole dinner.
Second Course: Pear, Gorgonzola & Black Rice Risotto . . . Glistening Forbidden Black Rice is combined with red wine and onions, and slowly cooked and stirred over the campfire with regular additions of broth. Three flavourful cheeses are melted in - gorgonzola, brie, and parmesan - along with soft and tender grilled pear chunks, which turn this risotto into a creamy delight. Topped with more juicy grilled pear halves and a handful of crunchy toasted walnuts, it became a delight of contrasting textures and balanced flavours. This amazing risotto was a close second to the salad for me in votes for favourite dish.
Main course: Shashlik Lamb Kebabs with Onions and Grapes, Honey and Cumin Grilled Carrots, Grilled Brussels Sprouts . . . We used the recipe in Mark Bittman's 'How to Grill Everything' cookbook for these tasty lamb kebabs marinated in red wine vinegar. The garden carrots were tossed in a bit of olive oil, honey, and cumin and grilled to a sweet char, along with the brussels sprouts just tossed in oil and salt. We reduced a half bottle of port wine down to a few tablespoons. We used some of it to make our port wine vinaigrette for the roasted beet salad, and the rest as a base to make a lovely port wine sauce, combined with puréed grilled onion, balsamic vinegar, oil, and a few seasonings. This sauce was amazing with the kebabs.
Dessert: Grilled Plums, Whipped Cream, and Campfire-Griddled Welsh Cakes . . . Those Welsh Cakes are crispy little biscuit-cookies with tender flaky insides, aromatic with nutmeg and sweet with chewy pops of currants - they are an excellent way to make cookies over the campfire (great for camping, too). Find the recipe here.
Another successful Campfire Cooking dinner. Stay tuned for the next one. (Spoiler alert: It's 'Into the Wild'!)
* * * * *
Kitchen Frau Notes: The ingredients for this salad can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and assembled at serving time. The beets can be oven-roasted or campfire-roasted up to 3 - 4 days ahead of time, the onions can be charred several days ahead of time, the walnuts toasted ahead of time, and the dressing can also be made several days ahead of time. Then at serving time you just toss it all together.
Roasted Beet Salad with Port Wine Dressing
- 1½ lbs (700gms) beets
- 1 medium onion, red or yellow
- 4 handfuls of mixed baby greens, baby spinach, or baby arugula
- 1 cup (125gms) crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup (50gms) toasted walnuts
- chopped parsley or dill
for the dressing:
- 1 cup port wine, reduced to 2 tablespoons (or an extra tablespoon balsamic vinegar + 1 tablespoon honey)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) or set a grate over a campfire that has good hot coals or preheat a barbecue grill.
Wrap the beets in tin foil lined with parchment paper. If the beets are large, wrap them individually, if they're smaller wrap 2 to 4 beets together in each parcel. Set the parcels on the grate over the campfire or on a cookie sheet in the oven. Roast until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 to 1¼ hours. If roasting the beets over a campfire, turn them occasionally and keep them over the edge of the fire, not directly over the flames.
Cut the onion into pencil thick slices. Keeping the slices intact with the rings together, grill the onion slices in a grill basket over the flames or barbecue grill, or in a dry skillet set over medium-high heat on a stove burner, until they are charred and blackened in spots. Carefully flip them to char the other side, too. This will take 5 - 7 minutes per side.
Toast the walnuts in a skillet set over the flames or grill, or on a baking sheet in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
While the beets are roasting, make the dressing: Put the port wine into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until it has reduced to 2 tablespoons. This can be done on the stovetop or also on the campfire or grill. Combine the reduced port wine, balsamic vinegar, oil, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl or cup and whisk vigorously until blended and slightly thickened.
To assemble the salad: Peel the roasted beets and trim the ends. Cut the beets into wedges or slices. Coarsely chop the grilled onion slices. Toss the beet wedges and onions with the prepared port wine dressing.
Arrange a handful of salad greens on each of 4 salad plates. Top each with a quarter of the beet salad. Sprinkle each salad with a quarter of the crumbled feta cheese and the toasted walnuts. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill.

Looks amazing. I love the earthy delicious taste of beets. This will be a must to try!
It really is a winner, Marilyn! I absolutely love beets any which way, and in this salad they are even more delicious than usual. It was a definite winner at our Campfire Cookout Dinner! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do (and luckily you can make it without a campfire, too.) Happy cooking!

As widely expected, the Fed cut rates by another 0.25 per cent taking it to a range of 1.75 per cent to 2 per cent, for the second cut this year.
Mr Oliver said that while the Fed remains optimistic on the outlook for the US economy and made no significant changes to its economic forecasts, as with the July cut it’s basically taking out insurance given ongoing threats to the US outlook from the trade war and slower global growth at the same time that inflation is still running just below target.
“The current easing cycle remains a bit like the Fed easings of 1987 after the share market crash and in 1998 after the LTCM hedge fund crisis – that saw the Fed cut despite solid growth in order take out insurance in case there was a negative flow-on to the economy,” he said.
AMP Capital predicts that another 25 basis point easing is likely, either in October or December. Mr Oliver said the risks to the growth outlook, particularly on trade, won’t go away quickly and that the Fed appears to have taken the decision that it’s easier to control a rise in inflation than a further slide or deflation.
“Fed Chair [Jerome] Powell did not seem too concerned about liquidity stresses in the US money market (which look related to corporate tax payments, higher budget deficits and the impact of quantitative tightening) but he did indicate that the Fed may need to resume allowing its balance sheet to grow with the economy,” Mr Oliver said.
“This is not quite QE and it’s much smaller but it would ease liquidity stresses. In the meantime, the New York Fed is continuing to address the issue by injecting funds into the money market (via repurchase operations).”
Nikko Asset Management chief global strategist John Vail noted that markets remained relatively stable after the Fed’s announcement, indicating that its guidance to the markets was successful and that the markets broadly agree with the result given the conflicting macro data, the trade war and the other major geopolitical uncertainties extant, with equities tending to look on the bright side and bonds looking on the dark side.
“There were tweaks to the statement, the projections of macro-economic data and the dots, but nothing very significant in sum, with some tweaks being dovish and some more hawkish,” Mr Vail said.
“Just like the rest of the world, the Fed is waiting for key political issues to be resolved before making major commitments.”
Like AMP Capital, Nikko Asset Management expects another 25 basis points cut in the fourth quarter. However, Mr Vail says beyond that the outlook is dependent on “data and politics”.

BEIJING (AP) — Liu Xia trembled uncontrollably and cried as she explained that she never expected Chinese authorities would hold her under house arrest for more than two years after her jailed activist husband, Liu Xiaobo, was chosen to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.
Breathless from disbelief at receiving unexpected visitors into her home and with a shaking voice, Liu Xia told The Associated Press in her first interview in more than two years, that her ongoing house arrest has been a painfully surreal experience. She said she has been confined to her duplex apartment in downtown Beijing with no Internet or outside phone line and only allowed weekly trips to buy groceries and visit her parents.
Once a month, she is taken to see her husband who is four years into an 11-year prison term for subversion for authoring and disseminating a sweeping call for democratic reform known as Charter ’08.
The Nobel committee cited the charter and his two decades of non-violent struggle for civil rights in awarding him the peace prize, a decision that brought furious condemnation from Beijing.
It wasn’t clear when Liu Xia started regular visits with her husband or if they would continue following her interview. She was denied visits for more than a year after she saw him two days after his Nobel win and emerged to tell the world that he had dedicated the award to those who died in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown.
Liu Xia said has been blindsided by her own long months of detention and never imagined house arrest would go on for as long as it has.
“I felt I was a person emotionally prepared to respond to the consequences of Liu Xiaobo winning the prize. But after he won the prize, I really never imagined that after he won, I would not be able to leave my home. This is too absurd. I think Kafka could not have written anything more absurd and unbelievable than this.”
The authoritarian government’s detention of the couple, one in a prison 280 miles (450 kilometers) northeast of Beijing and the other in a fifth floor apartment, underscores its determination to keep the 57-year-old laureate from becoming an inspiration to other Chinese, either by himself or through her.
Her treatment has been called by rights groups the most severe retaliation by a government given to a Nobel winner’s family.
During a rare phone interview with the AP a few days after the award was announced, Liu Xia sounded hopeful her confinement would be brief: “I’m sure that for a moment the pressure will be greater, I will have even less freedom, even more inconvenience, but I believe they won’t go on like this forever and that there will be positive change in the future.”
But that has not happened. The Foreign Ministry this week reiterated its position that Liu is a convicted criminal and that giving him the peace prize represented “external interference in China’s judicial sovereignty and domestic affairs.”
China’s fury with Nobel was this year replaced with jubilation and pride when another Chinese national, the writer Mo Yan, was named as the winner of the committee’s literature prize.
“We live in such an absurd place,” Liu Xia said, when asked to comment on the sharply divergent responses Beijing has given to the two awards. “It is so absurd.”
Two years ago this coming Monday, the Nobel committee held Liu Xiaobo’s award ceremony in Oslo, Norway, with an empty chair on stage to mark his absence. The Chinese government kept Liu Xia and other activists from attending and pressured foreign diplomats to stay away. For a time, the empty chair became a symbol of support for Liu on the Internet.
This week, attention turns again to another Nobel awards ceremony, this one is Stockholm, Sweden, where the shadow of Liu Xiaobo is expected to hang over Mo’s moment of glory.
A prolific writer of raw and magical fiction centered on rural Chinese life, Mo’s stories are often savagely critical of officials but he has faced criticism for not being a more outspoken defendant of freedom of speech and for being a member of the Communist Party-backed writers’ association.
When asked about Liu at a meeting with reporters after being named literature prize winner in October, Mo said he hoped for his early release, but did not push the issue.
Other Nobel laureates have been more outspoken. An appeal this week by 134 Nobel laureates, from peace prize winners like South African Archbishiop Desmond Tutu to Taiwanese-American chemist Yuan T. Lee, called the Lius’ detention a violation of international law and urged their immediate release.
“This flagrant violation of the basic right to due process and free expression must be publicly and forcefully confronted by the international community,” said the laureates’ appeal.
Dressed in a track suit and slippers, Liu was visibly shaken to find several Associated Press journalists at her door. Her first reaction was to put her hands to her head and ask several times, “How did you manage to come up, how did you manage?”
The guards who keep 24-hour watch on the main entrance of Liu’s building had left their station — a cot with blankets where they sit and sleep — and apparently stepped out to lunch.
Liu appeared frail and explained that she has a back injury that frequently keeps her confined to bed. Her hair was shaved close to her head, a severe look that she has worn since before her husband was jailed for inciting subversion in 2009.
A poet, photographer and painter, Liu said she spends her time reading and sometimes painting. She last saw her husband a few weeks ago and said he was in good health but she couldn’t recall the exact date of the visit.
“I can’t remember,” she said. “I don’t keep track of the days anymore. That’s how it is.”
Until Thursday’s unexpected interview, the last images of Liu were released in October by the Paris-based advocacy group Reporters Without Borders, which didn’t say how it obtained them. The grainy video showed a lone woman smoking by her apartment window at night.
So total has been the authorities’ suppression that little word of her situation or of her husband’s condition have leaked out in the past two years. Rights activists have said that Liu Xia’s silence was likely the price of regular visits with Liu Xiaobo in Jinzhou Prison, northeast of Beijing.
Though she is forbidden to discuss the specifics of her situation with her husband, Liu Xia says he knows that she is also under detention.
“He understands more or less,” she said. “I told him: ‘I am going through what you are going through almost.’”

I made this last night when we had friends over for dinner and I was even impressed with how easy yet yummy this recipe was. It is kind of a combination of the skinnytaste spinach lasagna rolls and my own chicken parmesan (which I am just now realizing has yet to make its blog debut- so that must change in the near future). This recipe is originally from here, but I did tweak it just a bit (shocking I know).
Spinach Chicken Rollatini
4 chicken breasts sliced in half and pounded thin (so you end up with eight- yay math!)
1 cup Italian seasoned Panko breading
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1pkg frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry of any liquid
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
olive oil non-stick spray
2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
handful of fresh chopped basil (optional)
1. Wash and dry chicken breasts. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
breadcrumbs and 4 tbsp grated parm in one bowl and whisk one egg in another.
3. Combine about a half a cup of mozzarella with remaining grated parm, spinach (make sure you squeeze it dry), ricotta cheese and one egg. I also threw in the fresh chopped basil, because I have it growing like crazy out back. I also added a few shakes of garlic powder in the mix. Blend everything together until well mixed (I used a whisk, but you could use a hand mixer on a low setting if you don't want as intense of an arm workout).
chicken breasts down on a working surface and spread approx 2 tbsp of spinach-cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one and keep seam side down.
chicken rolls in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down in a baking dish (no toothpicks needed). Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished, lightly spray with olive oil.
5. Bake 25 minutes. I ended up covering it with aluminum foil after about 10 minutes, because they were browning rather quickly.
6. Remove foil, top with about a spoonful of sauce then mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 more minutes. Serve with additional sauce on the side and grated parm.


MUSICAL talent Jimmy Khan has an impressive body of work ranging from scoring films to superb solo singles that have captured the imagination.
The Pakistani singer/ songwriter has delivered commercially successful music and continued that with his recently released first live Punjabi folk album Tich Button. Eastern Eye caught up with Jimmy to discuss music, his latest release and more.
What first connected you to music?
It was my parents’ cassettes, my father’s guitar playing and singing.
How do you look back on your musical journey?
It’s been with a lot of ups and downs, successes and failures. The learning curve has been slow with many distractions, but gaining momentum slowly but surely. Importantly, I feel fortunate to live my time here on the planet with the music I create.
What led towards your new album Tich Button?
Tich Button is a live album I had been meaning to record for a while. It’s an amalgamation of folk tunes that have played an integral part in shaping the music I perform (with my band). It was important for me to archive it in audio form as part of my musical evolution.
Tell us about the album?
It is more of an EP than an album. It comprises of five songs, out of which four are renditions of folk tunes and one original number. All Punjabi. It’s a live-sounding album multi-tracked and recorded by a seven-member band line-up. The recording was divided into two processes. First, the rhythm and bass parts were recorded followed by the leads and vocals. Tracked in a studio in Karachi and mixed in Lahore.
Who are you hoping connects with the songs?
It’s a Punjabi album and the world loves Punjabi. Even people who aren’t well versed in the language. They connect with it through its overpowering expression and the warmth it has in its sonic frequency. I hope it connects with all Punjabis of the world before anyone else.
What can we expect next from you?
I shouldn’t speak before the process begins, but next year needs to be more acoustic guitar and voice.
What is your greatest unfulfilled musical ambition?
(Laughs). Quincy Jones has not called me yet for an album deal.
hat inspires you as a musician?
Right now the magic of voice. Recognising a new dimension every few years keeps the magic flowing.
What songs and music dominate your own playlist?
Currently the band Jungle. And otherwise Mehdi Hassan, Nayyara Noor, Hemant Kumar, Mohd Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Attaullah Esakhelvi, Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, et al.
Is there any one artist you look up to more than others?
Attaullah Esakhelvi. His story, passion, pain and earthiness. That timbre has layers of emotion I can’t get enough of.
Finally, why do you love music?
Music has the capacity to seize a moment in time. It allows me to dig deeper inside. Not every day but the days when those frequencies are in sync. I live and love music for

SOLD FOR: $1,611.00
Make: High Standard
Model: Supermatic Trophy, Series 102
Serial Number: 801783
Year of Manufacture: 1958 (High Standard Pistols & Revolver, Spacek, P7)
Caliber: .22 Long Rifle
Action Type: Single Action Semi-Auto with Removable Magazine
Markings: The left side of the frame is marked “SUPERMATIC / TROPHY”. The left side of the slide is marked “HIGH / STANDARD”. The left side of the solid sight rib is marked “GILES .45 SHOP / ODESSA, FLORIDA”. The right side of the slide is marked “801783 MODEL 102” and is gold-filled engraved “Bill Swanwick / ALEXANDRIA, LA.” on a gold-filled engraved scroll. The right side of the frame is marked “801783”. The underside of the barrel is marked with a diamond shaped inspection mark and “BE”. Both barrel flats, the sides of the sight rib, both sides of the frame in front and behind the grips, both sides of the trigger guard in front and rear, the top of the slide and the bottom of the barrel are covered in gold-filled scrollwork engraving and accents.
Barrel Length: The semi-tapered slab-side bull barrel is 5 ½” in length. The barrel is not original and was almost certainly custom turned and profiled by Giles .45 Shop. The barrel starts at the breech as a slab-side bull barrel and begins tapering approximately 2 1/2″ down the barrel.
Sights / Optics: A solid rib has been inlet into the barrel with a tail which extends to the rear of the slide. The top is serrated to reduce glare. Set into the front of this rib is an undercut patridge blade. The rear sight is a square notch leaf, adjustable for windage and elevation with “wagon-wheel” dials that Giles .45 Shop are known for. The base is integral to the rib.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The grips are checkered dark walnut with a prominent thumbrest on the left side. Each panel has a gold-colored High Standard medallion with eagle and banner. The thumb rest has a chip out of the edge in the middle which is about 1″ wide and less than 1/8″ deep. The left panel has a couple of flattened checkers under the medallion. The right panel has no notable damage, though the checkering has softened somewhat and the wood has likely darkened with age. The front strap has had what appears to be a contoured wood shim installed, glued to the frame with a grip-tape covering which extends to the rear edge of the girp panels. The grips rate in about Fine overall condition as modified.
Type of Finish: The barrel and the sides of the slide are blued while the top of the slide and the underside of the frame have a matte black finish. The safety has a gold finish.
Finish Originality: Refinished, likely professionally by Giles .45 Shop to match the finish on the barrel. The markings are clear but have waves at the edges as from buffing.
Bore Condition: The bore is bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore.
Overall Condition: This pistol retains about 95% of its metal finish. There is thinning at the front of the barrel, on the edges of the barrel flats, corners on the slide, and the grip frame. There are some light marks in the edges and side faces of the rib. There is a light mark on the bottom of the right barrel flat just above the front of the frame. The slide serrations are sharp. The grip screws have light tool wear with strong slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this gun rates in about Fine condition as customized.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The trigger breaks crisply at 1 1/2 pounds. We have not fired this pistol. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with one 10-round magazine which has light operational wear and a strong spring. The magazine is in about Fine condition overall.
Our Assessment: This pistol was a joy to research. Giles .45 Shop was a highly respected customizer of firearms for bullseye competition firearms in the 60s-80s. John Giles must have been one heck of a talented machinest to turn and profile a half-taper slab-side barrel like this, then inlet a rib of his own manufacture with sights of his own manufacture. He also appears to have widened the trigger via welding and re-profiling additional material to the sides. The trigger pull on this pistol is fantastic and the word done by Giles .45 Shop is sure to make this a fantastic shooter. However, this was clearly a gun intended to be presented to someone. The best information we can come by regarding “Bill Swanwick” in Alexandria, LA leads us to a Colonel W. W. Swanwick who apparently was a fixture at Camp Perry competitions, often entertaining each of the military teams on different nights. It is unclear if this pistol was presented to him or by him, but he’ll surely be an interesting subject of some further research. This pistol is just gorgeous and would certainly make an interesting addition to any collection, especially a High-Standard collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This C&R eligible pistol CAN be transferred as a dealer sale in California and CAN be sold as a Private Party Transfer (PPT) at our Simi Valley shop. This does not apply to out of state residents.

Many potential clients contemplating divorce wonder if they are entitled to the proceeds from the sale or refinance of their marital home since it was purchased by their spouse prior to their marriage. Often these potential clients have been told by their spouses that their marital home is their spouse’s separate property since it was purchased prior to the parties’ marriage and that therefore the potential client will not receive any proceeds from a sale or refinance of the home. In situations where spouses have purchased real property prior to a marriage, but the other spouse has contributed marital funds to the property, Georgia courts apply the “source of funds” rule. Under this rule, a judge or trial court must determine the contribution of the party who brought the home to the marriage and weigh it against the total nonmarital and marital investment in the property. Therefore, if a spouse has contributed marital funds to reduce the mortgage debt and/or increase the equity of the marital home, that spouse is entitled to an equitable share of the net increase in the equity in the marital home attributable to marital funds. However, the spouse who seeks an equitable division of the net increase in the equity of the marital home should be aware that there must be evidence of the appreciation of the property in relation to its fair market value during the marriage. Accordingly, if a spouse can prove that he/she contributed to the increased fair market value of the marital residence, for example, by contributing his/her income to the mortgage payments or improvements to the property, he/she has a legal right to receive an equitable share of the net increase in equity due to his/her contribution. This is the case even though the marital home was purchased by the other spouse prior to marriage.

Faucette Law Firm, LLC today at (770) 485-6620.

HUNTSVILLE – The Sam Houston State Bearkat softball team split a pair of games with the Northwestern State Lady Demons on Friday, opening up Southland Conference play at the Bearkat Softball Complex.
Senior pitcher Lindsey McLeod tossed her second no-hitter of the season, striking out 11 in the first game of the doubleheader. The second game of the day took 10 innings for a winner to arise, with Northwestern State scoring two in the ninth to force extra frames before striking for two more in the 10th to square the series.
The Kats will be back in action against the Lady Demons to finish the conclusion of the series at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday at the Bearkat Softball Complex.
GAME 1 (Box Score)
Sam Houston State 6, Northwestern State 0
Just one week after tossing a five-inning perfect game against UT Martin, McLeod pulled off a similar feat again, throwing a seven-inning no-hitter in the series opener. She struck out 11 and now needs just 11 strikeouts to take sole possession of the career strikeout record at SHSU.
It only took one inning of damage for the Kats, plating six runs off of five hits and two errors in the bottom of the third. Junior Hunter Ervin got the party started with a single to left field. Thompson, McDonald and White also notched singles.
A three-run shot over the right field wall from freshman third baseman Kyndal Kutac, her sixth of the season, highlighted of the inning. This put the Kats up 6-0 and would be all the insurance they needed to get their first win in SLC play.
GAME 2 (Box Score)
Northwestern State 6, Sam Houston State 4 (10 inn.)
The second game of the day turned in to a marathon and it was Northwestern State who was able to outlast SHSU, 6-4, to even things up heading into Sunday's rubber match.
Sophomore pitcher Annie Bailey was given the start but would only pitch 3.1 innings, leaving after the Lady Demons sent a solo home run out to left field. Freshman Regan Dunn would then take over in the circle, pitching 3.2 innings with three runs, five hits and five strikeouts.
Dunn’s night would come to an end though after the Lady Demons tied up the ballgame 4-4 off a couple of hits in the top of the seventh. Junior pitcher Karina Sanchez took over in the top of the eighth and was given the loss, pitching 3.0 innings with three hits and two runs.
Offensively the Kats had eight hits. They plated their first three runs in the bottom of the fifth when Ashley Goetz started the inning off with a single to left field. Tiffany Thompson would then hit a RBI double down the left field line, and a walk from Megan McDonald and another double to center field from Brooke Malia would give the Kats the lead, 3-2.
Malia added on to the Kat’s lead with a solo shot in the top of the sixth that would prove to be a vital insurance run for the Kats, after a two-run seventh inning for Northwestern State tied the ball game up four-apiece.
The game stayed tied 4-4 until the top of the 10th inning when the Demons got a few runners on base from an error and a single. A two-run double would plate two runs for the Lady Demons, which proved to be enough for pitcher Mikayla Brown to hold the lead in the bottom half of the inning. The Kats couldn’t rally in the bottom of the 10th, and would fall to the Demons, 6-4.

BirminghamLive has been recognised for its coverage of Ramadan and Eid at the prestigious Regional Press Awards – the ‘Oscars’ of the industry.
The website was praised for its work with the Muslim community, creating a range of informational content around fasting and prayers as well as its features on activities such as the Ramadan midnight football league , the late night iftars and a live blog and content around the huge Eid gathering in Small Heath Park.
It was, said the judges, “well-crafted coverage focusing on major festivals in the Muslim calendar. The BirminghamLive team wrote a live blog on community celebrations in Small Heath Park, the largest in Europe, which helped inform the wider readership of the event and its background.”
The award was sponsored by Penny Appeal, a Muslim Islamic charity which raises money to help poverty stricken countries.
Aamer Naeem, CEO of Penny Appeal, said: "A heartfelt congratulations to the dedicated team at Birmingham Live, both management and staff.
"I am delighted Penny Appeal sponsored the award on Reporting Communities this year.
"Utilising media platforms to foster better understanding, dispel myths and stereotypes about Muslims and showcase the strength of community life in Britain has never been more important.
"There is a huge role for local media is this, and Birmingham Live are showing how, when done well, it can enrich the lives of our diverse communities. This award is richly deserved and I look forward to you continuing to build on your laudable record."
BirminghamLive was also highly commended in the Campaign of the Year section for BrumFeeds, which successfully collected a mountain of goods for the city’s foodbanks.
Run by BirminghamLive’s Annette Belcher, judges said: “This was a superbly executed campaign bringing to life the stories of real people forced to rely on food banks, many due to Universal Credit. Striking a chord with readers through social media engagement, BrumFeeds more than doubled its original food donation target.”
BirminghamLive's sister title Birmingham Mail was highly commended in the Newspaper of the Year, judges commenting on its “diet of news, sport and features”, and “independent identity”.
And writer Mike Lockley was named Britain’s columnist of the year.
Judges of the awards, which attracted more than 800 entries, were impressed out by a portfolio of Mike’s trademark comment columns from the Mail and Sunday Mercury.


An evening tour to explore a mysterious underground world of rushing water before drifting in silent darkness beneath the luminous shimmer of thousands of glowworms. An excursion to the Te Anau Glowworm Caves begins with a cruise across spectacular Lake Te Anau on a purpose-built scenic cruise vessel.
This underground world is astonishingly beautiful. By geological standards the caves are very young (12,000 years) and are still being carved out by the force of the river that flows through them. The result is a twisting network of limestone passages filled with sculpted rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground waterfall. Deep inside the caves, beyond the roar of the water, you will be taken by small boat into a silent hidden grotto inhabited by thousands of glowworms. In the subterranean darkness, they produce a glittering display that is nothing short of extraordinary.
Duration: 2hrs 15mins
Suitable for all ages with exception of infants
Some bending is required at caves entrance and steps are involved


One of the great things about owning a diesel truck is how long it lasts. Diesel engines tend to be able to survive much longer than gas engines. However, it’s still understandable that you might want to upgrade to something else at some point. This means you need to think about resale value and how you can improve the vehicle. For diesel trucks, in particular, there are some useful modifications to consider. These are a few upgrades that increase the value of your diesel truck so that you can eventually get a nice payback once you sell.
A programmer, also called a tuner, is a small device that you can install into your diesel truck. It can completely change how efficiently the vehicle drives. Adding in a programmer is almost like giving your truck its own brain. It can analyze how you drive and adjust various internal systems to match your driving style better. A programmer isn’t massively expensive, but it can seriously impact the resale value of your truck later on.
Tires and Wheels
For the uninitiated, tires and wheels all seem the same for the most part. Putting the right tires and wheels on a truck can make a huge difference for the more informed. Manufacturers make tires for many distinct purposes. But it’s a safe bet that getting any performance tires will be better for your truck’s resale value. You can even resell your old tires to make up for the cost even more.
Fuel injectors may not be the flashiest upgrades that increase your diesel truck’s value, but they do make quite a big difference. If you have an older truck, the injectors may need a replacement just to run correctly, but new ones can also improve your truck’s overall performance. The more power you can get out of a diesel truck, the more useful it will seem. Moreover, one of the best ways to make it more powerful is to add in some new quality fuel injectors.
An Exhaust System
Your truck’s exhaust system, especially on a diesel truck, has quite a big job to do when it comes to keeping your engine’s emissions clean. Since they last as long as they do, diesel trucks’ exhaust systems can often seem archaic after a certain period. When a potential buyer sees that your old diesel truck has a quality exhaust system, they’ll know that you took good care of it and that it’s completely legal to keep driving.

U.S. House Committee Passes Bill To Repeal Conflict Minerals Regulation
Last Wednesday, the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services passed H.R. 4248, a bill to repeal the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) conflict minerals rule. The Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI) opposes this regulation, which was part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank bill, because the high cost of complying with the rule diverts resources from the core business priorities of MSCI member companies and undermines the competitiveness of U.S. metals manufacturers.
Last December, MSCI wrote a letter to Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), chairman of the Financial Services Committee, to ask him to repeal the regulation. Rep. Hensarling’s committee passed H.R. 4248 on a 32 to 27 vote. It is not yet clear when the full U.S. House will vote on this measure and similar legislation has not yet been introduced in the U.S. Senate.
As a reminder, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced this past spring that U.S. companies do not have to comply with some parts of this rule. Click here to learn more.

Designed on the same principle as Main Street U.S.A the Hollywood Boulevard serves as the park’s main entrance lined with 1930s and ‘40s inspired venues selling Disney merchandise and food. And like the Celebration Parade that winds its way down the Magic Kingdom’s main street, Disney Hollywood Studios has the Pixar Block Party Bash that makes it way daily down the Boulevard and the adjoining Echo Lake area. This is also a great area to take in other live entertainment provided by fun cover bands like the Mulch, Sweat, and Shears. At the far end of the boulevard stands the Sorcerer’s Hat, installed in 2001 to replace the Earful Tower as the park’s icon. Behind that can be found the replica of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, home to the Great Movie Ride, which pays homage to classic films like the Wizard of Oz and Casablanca, and was the original inspiration for the park.
The Disney Hollywood Studios dedication by the CEO at the time Michael Eisner, the park’s biggest proponent, can be found past the main strip of stores by the director statue not far from the S.S. Down the Hatch quick service:
“The World you have entered was created by The Walt Disney Company and is dedicated to Hollywood—not a place on a map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic. We welcome you to a Hollywood that never was—and always will be.”

The Dutch inflation rate is on the rise, moving from an increase of 9.9% in June to a whopping 11.6% this month. 😯
The Dutch have been seeing a familiar pattern in the last four months, where prices of goods and services have been fluctuating, reports NU.nl.
However, the newest estimate by Statistics Netherlands sadly puts an end to this chummy pattern. 😥
Why are we experiencing a rise in inflation?
The ultimate component that broke the pattern is the sharp increase in energy prices.
We often look at the sky-high energy prices these days and ask, “will they ever fall?”. 🙄 Well, not this month and, naturally, the Russian invasion of Ukraine plays a huge role.
What else is affecting the inflation rate?
Energy prices aside, one of the largest food suppliers in the Netherlands, Unilever, which owns brands like Dove and Ben & Jerry’s, announced it’ll be bumping up its prices in the coming months.
Cherished manufacturers like Nestlé, Coca-Cola, and KitKat are planning to follow. (Nooo, not the chocolate! 😫)
Nestlé has already increased its prices by an average of 6.5% and Coca-Cola by 12% in recent months.
But we need not worry just yet. These price increases won’t come without struggle as the manufacturers face resistance from Dutch supermarkets.
Albert Heijn got into a fight with Nestlé about the price increase, and Jumbo was in conflict with Kellogg’s, which markets goodies like the chips brand Pringles.
What is being done about it?
To ensure price increases cool down somewhat, central banks around the world are raising interest rates — encouraging folks and businesses to borrow and spend less.
How do you feel about the increase in the Dutch inflation rate this month? Tell us in the comments below! 👇


The refrigerator Frigidaire is making grinding soundsBrand: Frigidaire
The technician arrived for another service call, and the client explained that the refrigerator Frigidaire is making grinding sounds constantly. The technician found that the sound was coming from the freezer, specifically from its fan.
Upon inspection, the fan was found to have ice buildup. The source of this ice was traced to water dripping from the ice maker’s water fill tube, located above the fan. Calcium buildup in the tube prevented water from filling properly into the ice maker. This caused water to splash around. As a result, some water was splashing onto the back wall of the refrigerator. The water froze and caused the ice buildup.
Refrigerator Frigidaire is making grinding sounds: Fix
This issue was resolved by simply replacing the water fill tube. This particular malfunction is not very obvious. The technician has encountered it many times before, indicating a design flaw in the water fill tube. Some manufacturers continue to use the same parts design for years, even though they are aware of these problems, as it is more cost-effective to make periodic repairs than to change the production line. You can call on us to repair any appliance of any brand, as our experienced technicians have dealt with a wide range of interesting malfunctions and are always ready to assist you.

The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star, who gave birth to her first child Milena with her boyfriend Ben Cohen in July 2016, said overall she had a “happy pregnancy”.
“I had a little bit of an issue with my iron though,” she told The Express.
“I fainted a couple of times. It wasn’t planned and it was just one of those things that when it happens you’re ok and it’s like ‘let’s have a family’.”
Asked about how she is enjoying motherhood, Rihanoff said it is “non-stop”.
“I’m human and you feel quite vulnerable after pregnancy, your body’s not the same and it takes quite a few weeks to feel that you’re human again,” she said.
The new mum will be performing in her first show since giving birth on 11 December.
Although this is Rihanoff’s first child, Cohen already has twin eight-year-old daughters Isabelle and Harriette with former wife Abby.
Rihanoff and Cohen met as dancing partners on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2013. Cohen and his former wife announced their separation in September 2014.
Rihanoff, 38, announced she was pregnant while in the Celebrity Big Brother House in January 2016.
At the time she told HELLO! the pregnancy was a “surprise”, but she was “obviously delighted”.

By now you must of heard that you need to feed, feed, feed a million times and if not you need to feed, feed, feed; whether you are receiving a NUC or Package of bees it critical that you begin by feeding, feeding, feeding. There are two reason why one feeds, first in the spring to stimulate feeding and in the summer or fall when the hive is low on food.
Feeding is not simply mixing sugar and water together. Depending on the time of year the blend of sugar and water varies.
- In the Spring from March to May, a one to one mixture of sugar to water is used to stimulate the production of brood.
- In the Summer from June to August, a one to one mixture of sugar to water is used when there is a light or no nectar flow.
- In the Fall from Sept to Nov, a two to one ration of sugar to water is used in event that the hive is low on stores.
When making syrup, the ratio is measured in pounds. Remember never to cook the sugar water because it is easy to burn. Simply bring the water to a boil and let it sit. After the water starts cooling mix in the proper portion of sugar until it dissolves.
When we make syrup, we add Pro Health a feeding stimulant made with Spearmint, Lemongrass Oil and Thymol to entice the bees to drink it faster while aiding in their digestive health. This mixture helps prevent syrup fermentation and can be sprayed on undrawn frames to encourage the bees to quickly accept and draw out the frames. It can also be used to calm the bees instead of smoking. While this is not a miracle drug it has huge advantages when used regularly.
No matter whether you use syrup in the Spring, Summer or Fall remember to always clean your feeders after use to prevent the growth of bacteria. Or your bees could end up like this guy.

So this design is a variation of what my cousin Wenqing (you can follow her on instagram and twitter with the ID @wqfann) and it’s quite a simple design. The difficult part was really the drawing of the cat and fish on my right hand.
OPI blue, cheapo Sasa white, some Korean brand of blue glitter, Fasio’s sparkle, OPI gold and black nail dot pen from The Face Shop.
Again, I think the design is quite self-explanatory and doesn’t need much instruction. I think this is one of my cleaner work with white nail polish though! LOL. 🙂


text: Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are water-soluble organic (WSO) chemicals used industrial and consumer products, particularly those designed to be grease-resistant. This includes non-stick cookware, stain resistant fabrics, indoor-outdoor carpeting, and longlasting cosmetics. However, several studies have show that human exposure to PSAS, may lead to a range of adverse health outcomes. Airborne exposure has not been, up to know, thought to be a primary vector for PFAS exposure, but in 2008, a study of PFAS by University of North Carolina chemist Barbara Turpin documented PFAS concentrations in both indoor and outdoor air, with preliminary results showing compounds existing in both environments, though with higher concentrations indoors. Funds from this grant support the continuation and extension of Turpin’s work, as she attempts to more rigoursly quantify the concentration, fate, and behavior of WSO compounds in indoor air with a focus on these substances. Turpin’s workplan will pay special attention to the role surfaces play in determining PFAS concentration, including how surface composition and other factors, like its age or dampness, affect the absorption of airborn PFAS. Research findings will be shared through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national and international conferences, and three graduate students will be trained.

Deep‐inelastic and multi‐nucleon transfer reactions can be used to populate nuclei with relatively large neutron excess. Recently, at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, a setup consisting on an efficient γ‐ray detection system CLARA coupled to the large acceptance magnetic spectrometer PRISMA, capable of tracking the trajectories of the reaction products, has been assembled. During the first year of activity, the experiments performed with the CLARA‐PRISMA setup, have been focused mainly on the nuclear structure of neutron‐rich nuclei. In particular, nuclei around N=20, N=50 and lying in the A∼60 transitional region with N<40, have been investigated. In this contribution, results of these experiments will be reported.

The Stranger, as he is known in this first battle, is a god-like being that will require you to complete several phases in order to finally take him down. We suggest focusing on light attacks here, as they are the quickest, and The Stranger has a tendency to quickly rush away before moving into a powerful slam that causes him to glow red.
Look out for this tell, and then prepare to move out of the way as quickly as possible. Another move to look out for is a combination of punches that can deal a good bit of damage to Kratos. This combination is usually hits, so make sure you are ready.
If you get hit by one of them, it will momentarily stun you, making it harder to dodge or block the next attack. Continue dodging, blocking, and then attacking as you can until the next phase is triggered. During this time, look out for the button prompts and hit R1 as much as possible to inflict damage to The Stranger.

The absolute chronology of East Chia Sabz: a Pre-Pottery Neolithic site in Western Iran
Keywords:neolithisation, Pre-Pottery Neolithic, East Chia Sabz, Western Iran, absolute chronology
AbstractEast Chia Sabz is a PPN site located in the Seimareh Valley, western Iran. 14C dating results indicated that the site was occupied from the early 9th millennium to the early 7th millennium BC. As we have very little information about early Neolithic sites in Iran in comparison with the other regions of the Near and Middle East, the site of East Chia Sabz will provide a new benchmark for investigating the Neolithisation process in Iran. It is important to note that further investigation of Chia Sabz will certainly provide more secure information about how and when the Epipaleolithic transition to the Neolithic started in the region. This paper will present the recent excavations at the site, and then, based on the 14C dates, will discuss the site’s importance in western Iran.

J.C. and Dorothy Dearing recently celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary in grand style.
The Dearings’ four children, James, John, Rita and Carol, teamed up to purchase a car, a 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe 2-door sedan. The car had been sitting in storage, so necessary restoration work had to be done to have the car ready for last weekend’s anniversary.
John found the car while on a service call for the family business, Dearing Heating and Air.
“Henry and Pat Baird had bought the car from Pat’s brother, Bill Carter, from Washington County, who bought it new in 1953,” James Dearing said. “The car was primed and they were going to fix it up, but they put it in the garage and it stayed there from 1985 until earlier this year.”
James said that the family had the idea to restore the car for J.C. and Dorothy’s anniversary eight months ago.
“We worked a lot of late nights and weekends,” James said. “Rita and Carol worked on the seats and carpeting while we did the other work.”
The cost of a 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe Style 9 was $1,614.
At that time, Harry S. Truman was president of the United States, Republican Dwight Eisenhower would win the presidency over Adlai Stevenson in the first of two elections and the Dearings would marry and start a life together.
“They went to the Justice of the Peace to be married since he was in the U.S. Army,” James said. “
Carol Jenkins said that their parents have been special parents throughout their lives.
“They are the perfect example of a Christian marriage,” Carol said. “We were raised with Godly values. One of my brothers said that they were the real Ozzie and Harriet Nelson. Many who know them look up to them.”
Carol said that the Dearings’ marriage has been a “one in a million” marriage.
“They’re still crazy about each other and it shows,” Carol said.
The Dearing family’s influence in Hamblen County goes back generations. L.B. Dearing, J.C.’s father, owned a dairy farm near the present West Industrial Park. The family owned close to 500 acres at one time. Dearing Road in the West Industrial Park is now the site of a soccer field. After joining the Army at age 16, he returned to Morristown to work for the Southern Railroad. According to Carol, when Dorothy was living in Alpha, she saw J.C. get off the train while wearing his uniform and said that he was the man she was going to marry.
“Opal Fielder was at her house near the bus stop and introduced the two to each other,” Carol said.
J.C. became a journeyman electrician and the family moved north to West Virginia, New York and New Jersey for many years. The Dearings moved back to Morristown in 1967 and opened Dearing Heating and Cooling, which survives today with the brothers running the business.
Born in Morristown, Dorothy also lived in White Pine and Alpha when she met J.C. After returning to Morristown, she helped J.C. run the family business.
J.C. and Dorothy moved to Alabama for about 10 years. Dorothy worked for the State of Alabama until she retired and the Dearings came back to the Lakeway Area in 1998. The Dearings now reside in Jefferson City. J.C. did small electrical jobs up until two years ago before retiring at 89. The Dearings are members of First Baptist Church of Morristown.
When the anniversary dinner was held last weekend, all six members of the family rode to Aubrey’s on Merchants Greene Boulevard in the 1952 Chevrolet.
“Our whole family was able to ride in the car,” James said. “In 1952, seat belts or turn signals weren’t required.”
In spite of the windshield wipers not working or the heat working, neither was needed as it was a perfect evening for the dinner.
“They were tickled to death,” James said. “Dad said that it brought back memories.”

Looks like Valentines Day is on the way again. Are you hoping for flowers and romance?
While it’s nice to be adored, it’s a truism that we have to love ourselves first. No matter how much attention is showered on us by friends and lovers, if we don’t love ourselves enough to truly believe we’re worth all the effort, we can remain curiously unsatisfied (and even anxious– “What if they find out I’m really not that nice/pretty after all and abandon me?!”)
If you can’t offer yourself love and compassion, it’s hard to believe you deserve it from somebody else. And the worst culprits for neglecting to appreciate and care for themselves? Women who spend a lot of time caring for others. OK, disclosure time. That’s me too.
I see this lack of self-appreciation in my yoga classes. When it’s time for savasana, so many students plonk themselves down in a haphazard way and say ‘no, no, I’m fine’ when offered a blanket or pillow. But when I go over and spend a minute or two helping them out with a few props to find the ideal position, a look of bliss spreads over their face as they enjoy, maybe for the first time that week, a position of absolute comfort and support.
So why do we spend so much time worrying about everybody else’s welfare while frequently neglecting our own? Personally speaking, I’d say it’s because we’re time poor and guilt ridden. And we should stop it now.
My antidote to busy-guilty syndrome is Metta Medtitation, a Buddhist practice that helps us cultivate deep compassion. I love it so much because it asks us to develop compassion for every living thing, including ourselves. I’m no burning martyr and, despite my best efforts, I find myself feeling resentful when my life becomes all about meeting the needs of others and never my own. However, I also feel uncomfortable about self indulgence and behaving in a way that doesn’t consider the feelings and wellbeing of others. Sounds familiar?
The joy of Metta meditation is that we are asked to cultivate compassion and love for ourselves, our nearest and dearest and for the community at large. From our own family members to people struggling with poverty or pain, Metta meditation helps us to remember that we’re all interconnected. And that’s the key.
When we feel disconnected from others, we suffer (yoga tells us that sense of separation is an illusion and that we’re always connected – we just lose sight of that truth). And there’s no quicker way to become disconnected from others than to feel alienated from yourself.
Metta meditation (and mindful, compassionate yoga) teaches us to love ourselves by reminding us that we are part of a universal community of beings that are dependent on eachother for our wellbeing and survival. We are all worthy of love and compassion. Now, that’s a Valentines Day message I’d like to share.
Enjoy a free guided Metta Meditation with Nikola Ellis.
