Too Much Flannel Becomes Beige
Posted on March 4, 2019 March 4, 2019 by Genna Rivieccio	Posted in Short StoryTagged Brooklyn, fiction, genna rivieccio, gentrification, literary bitch, new york, RIP Brooklyn, short story, Too Much Flannel Becomes Beige, Williamsburg 2010
It was one of those peak Brooklyn moments, she supposed, entering some Puerto Rican-run shoe repair store that was actually just a front for people, ideally fellow Puerto Ricans, to imbibe in–some of those people eventually getting wise to the trend being what was once blithely in its derogatoriness toward whites called "hipsters." Of course, people are more reluctant to use such a dated word in the present epoch, and considering that there are no areas left for Caucasians with an "artistic" pursuit (this now includes Instagram "art") to infiltrate apart from, say, East New York and some parts of the Bronx, it is less freely used. But in this time, it was. And Erica felt shamefully as though she was one upon being led into the space by Cliff, exuding the same unwarranted confidence he always did no matter where he entered. In this case, and mildly in his defense, he was merely following one of his co-workers down the rabbit hole. Her name was Jeanne. She was turning but twenty-four years old and was one of those "early" twenties sorts that was endlessly pleased with herself for having a job at all. The type that might say something like, "I should be traveling right now, you know? While I still can." As though you can't do it in your thirties and forties if you take good enough care of your skin and can pass yourself off as "youthful enough" for a hostel.
It was because of her lust for being a voyager, among other reasons including a waifish physique, that Cliff had an overt crush on her. One barely concealed from the jealous eyes of Erica as she watched him verbally tease her, at one point even "playfully" grabbing her side in a way that only misogynists flirting do. It was adding to the sinking feeling in Erica's stomach as she felt increasingly out of place in a milieu where she knew they weren't supposed to be. And though the Puerto Ricans weren't patently hostile about their area being invaded (at the very least, they could now upcharge on the beer), Erica could sense the subtle vexation in how they carried themselves toward Jeanne and the lot she had brought in, as though she was not only showing off her vast knowledge of the Williamsburg "underground" but also displaying this shoe repair shop/bar and the people in it as some zoo-like spectacle. But again, people will always put up with exploitation if it means they can profit from it, and whitey was heavily into flexing his purchasing power that night, as Jeanne's array of new and old friends from work and college failed to recognize that BYOB was the better employed option, but instead, in their laziness, paid five dollars a can for the Rolling Rock and PBR the Puerto Ricans knowingly kept on hand for such potentially lucrative occasions as these.
Cliff was in his element from the moment they arrived, having transferred from an actual bar down the street where the less "adventurous" of Jeanne's party guests had remained. He was the sort of person who couldn't be made fun of, because it didn't bother him no matter what you said, case in point being when Jeanne's own boyfriend, Sam, clearly threatened by their rapport when finally introduced to Cliff in the flesh, commented, "Your name's Cliff? Who the fuck is named Cliff outside of 1959?"
"I am," Cliff said without any trace of irony or offense.
Sam had made a statement in choosing to remain behind at the "real" bar to keep hosting the friends of Jeanne's who were intimidated by brown skin. It had undeniably caused strife between them that Jeanne wanted to go to the shoe repair place when taking into consideration that most of her friends and acquaintances were extremely vanilla. Except, of course, Cliff. Though not really, as he only liked to put on the airs of being brave and undaunted for the sake of preserving his own self-image. And Erica, hopelessly attached to him at this juncture in their relationship, a midpoint in which the flip had occurred in their emotions (with Cliff being initially the more ardent one, ergo only leaving the door open for Erica to become such in the wake of his spent fervor), was too determined to show Cliff she would do anything, go anywhere for him–a classic mistake many females make in becoming too available, hence less desirable, to the men whose affections they seek to stoke. Erica was clearly doing the opposite as she stood in a corner by herself and watched the sexual tension of the dynamic between Jeanne and Cliff unfold without any sense of abashment on either of their parts. She could at once intuit that she had flushed two perfectly viable years of her remaining twenties down the toilette on Cliff.
A leering and stout man that could have been in his thirties or sixties (just one of those types, as it were) seized upon Erica's aura of loneliness, going so far as to finger a tendril of her dirty blonde hair and whisper something indecipherable to her in Spanish, baring his crooked teeth at her as though they were familiars. The fucking balls some dickless men had. Did he honestly think she was going to swoon over his attempt at coarse conversation, that her panties were going to spontaneously drop to the floor? And where the fuck was Cliff in all this, he who should be defending her goddamn honor or some shit? Oh right, he was licking Jeanne's asshole without any sense of shame or compunction. What the hell was Erica doing in this "bar" anyway? Why was she catering to the already annoyingly accurate perception of white folk like Cliff–just seeing fit to take up residence wherever they wanted for the sake of feeling "bohemian"? As if that lifestyle could ever exist in New York again. When its cutoff was, at best, 2005. Taking stock of the sudden swathe of flannel that surrounded her, also appearing simultaneously to her as patches of subversion amid those who actually belonged in the shoe repair shop, they all fused into one sort of beige entity for her. A cluster signifying wanting to embody a moment of "cool" that could never be recaptured by subsequent generations–the ones who would never even know a Williamsburg without the rampant presence and constant construction of condos.
Feeling as though she might vomit not from drinking too much–which she most assuredly had–but rather, this unbearable vision, this flannel acid trip, she practically fell out of the doorway in her state of hyperventilation. No one in the joint seemed to notice, and if they did, they didn't care. She was an eyesore now, fucking up their illusions and delusions of living as "free thinkers" with the increasingly less casual obligation to a corporate job. Erica worked in a bookstore and spoke more often than most could endure of George Sand. She had no berth in this environment. And that night, it became solidified in her mind that it applied well beyond the stifling confines of being forced into this beacon of faux "subculture" by her own boyfriend.
She broke up with Cliff the next morning, not bothering to ask if he had done something with Jeanne the previous night, knowing full well that they, at the bare minimum, had kissed. She was also quick to offer to move out of their shared loft space on the south side of the neighborhood, where she could, with a chill up her spine, feel another wind of foul change coming. Cliff was somewhat shocked by her abrupt need to flee from their apartment and relationship, but played the role of understanding ex to perfection, even offering to help her move her things out (or at least pay for a Man With Van to do so). She declined, not wanting to inform him that her true intent was to leave the city altogether. Go back to her ostensibly banal Ohio town…theoretically beige yet somehow more colorful than this false portrait of what "Eccentricitia" was supposed to be. When she was forced to come back to Brooklyn about three years later for a book convention, she couldn't help but notice that the former "bar" was now occupied by a modestly sized H&M. With the mannequins in the display window sporting flannel, naturally.

Canadian Revolution
Canadians are taking over the world right now.
Justin Bieber is the most famous teenager on the planet (possibly contested with Rebecca Black), Arcade Fire won a Brit and Grammy award recently and they also have rapper Drake.
That's all coming from the music industry though. When it comes to sport, other than ice hockey and 'Owen Hargreaves', they are a bit light on top-class competitors. Luckily, Milos Raonic has stormed the ATP Tour this year and he's also been joined by Rebecca Marino.
The WTA's world number 58 is a French-speaking 20-year-old residing in Vancouver. Like her male counterpart she's already been seen on Ace of Baseline before but only briefly.
She's reached her highest ranking to date thanks to a final appearance in Memphis last month where she retired against Magdalena Rybarikova due to an abdominal injury picked up in the semi-finals.
Since then Marino has fallen at the first round stage of the BNP Paribas Open and the first qualifying round of the Sony Ericsson Open and with the oncoming clay court season we'll have to wait and see if she can keep her progress going.
A regular tweeter and a devoutly proud Canadian her Twitter profile has her location down as "i'm oot and aboot, eh?".
She's yet to reach Wimbledon or Roland Garros' main draw which is no doubt something she will aim to achieve come the end of spring.
She has however had experience at Fed Cup level and with herself and Raonic being the top Canadians out there there is a great future for their Hopman Cup team.
It's helped also by strength in depth. Eugenie Bouchard is currently 374th in the world which is pretty good for a recently turned 17-year-old.
And remember the days when you couldn't distinguish between Aleksandra Wozniak and Caroline Wozniacki? Well the former has dropped from no.21 to outside the top 100 whilst you may be able to guess where the latter currently situates.
Wozniak is the number two in Canada now and her predecessor has to make sure she doesn't suffer a similar fate.
Marino doesn't quite have as many followers as the Bieber yet but if she can recreate half of his success then she'll be doing Canada even more proud.
Two 17-year-old Canadians… Can Eugenie Bouchard also put her country on the map?

Home Thoughts
Following the earthquake and subsequent tsunami to hit Japan, several tennis players have tried to raise funds to support the relief effort but none will be hurting quite like Kei Nishikori.
As Japan's best player, his mind is firmly on those who have lost their lives and helping the survivors rebuild his homeland.
Nishikori's family and friends all emerged from the disaster unscathed but his thoughts are still with his people, indicated by his continued work off court.
Novak Djokovic has been wearing a taped knee with messages of support for the victims and also set up a charity football match with Nishikori and other ATP tour players involved. Female Japanese players Ayumi Morita and Kimiko Date-Krumm have also felt the effects of the trauma.
At Indian Wells, Nishikori wore a black ribbon during his first round defeat to Igor Andreev but he's now reached the second round at Miami's Sony Ericsson Open and is set to take on world no.1 Rafael Nadal on Saturday.
Despite the chances of the 21-year-old beating Nadal being slim, it will be a welcome return to top-class tennis after a succession of injuries kept him out of the last three majors of 2009.
At one stage he was voted the ATP Newcomer of the Year after bursting onto the scene as an unknown qualifier, winning at Delray Beach and finishing 2008 at #63 in the world.
But the next year his progress was halted by injury and he slipped as low as 898 during the beginning of 2010. Now 12 months later he's back amongst the top 100 and looking to build on where his promising career start left off.
Nishikori may have been able to quickly bounce back from adversity but his fellow countrymen and women face a much greater task than hitting a ball in the service lines.
To help Kei Nishikori in his Japan efforts you can bid for tennis and other sport memorabilia or donate and support the cause via Facebook.

Xperia Hot Shots
The Sony Ericsson Open starts this week in Miami with several female athletes currently looking to qualify but alongside the tournament a new web-based reality show was launched.
With Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador, Xperia Hot Shots gives six WTA players a handset to film themselves over the current season so fans can track their progress on and off the court.
Those six are: Sorana Cirstea (Romania), Alize Cornet (France), Heather Watson (Great Britain), Sabine Lisicki (Germany), Bethanie Mattek-Sands (USA) and Dominika Cibulkova (Slovakia).
The chosen players have been selected based on their potential but probably their marketing prowess as well, i.e. looks and personality.
This is after all a major promotional campaign for Sony Ericsson but it does at least provide spectators an inside view into their favourite players' lives and increases the scope for more supporters of tennis and these six professionals.
At the end of the year the player who has generated the most support on Facebook will earn a support deal with Sony Ericsson whilst fans votes in September will see the winner earn €100,000.
They may want to check their research on the players they've chosen though as Cirstea is currently 21 but her YouTube profile says she's 18 whilst she declares to be 20 in the video. Hopefully they knew her real age before the contract was signed.
To follow the stars and their videos you can either head to their YouTube channel or go to the Facebook page.
Former world no.1 Maria Sharapova helped launch the event
Discuss: If there was a similar reality show featuring male tennis players who would you like to see a part of it? Or perhaps you think someone else who should be a hot shot? If so then leave a comment.

The Pliskova Sisters
From the Williams sisters to the Bryan brothers, tennis siblings are becoming as frequent as Novak Djokovic's 2011 wins.
Along with that aforementioned foursome of multi-talented singles and doubles players, the Radwanska's and Murray's have also emerged.
And with today marking the 19th birthday of another sister combination it's a fitting time to introduce Czech twins Karolina and Kristyna Pliskova.
Hailing from the small town of Louny, the pair currently sit either side of the top 200 fringes but neither has yet broken into the top 100.
Although twins, it's pretty easy to tell them apart. Karolina stands one inch taller with brunette hair (as opposed to blonde), has a tattoo on her left arm and leg (Kristyna only has one on her wrist), and uses the opposite hand to her lefty sister.
Their record at junior level is pretty sporadic. Although Karolina won the Australian Open juniors last year her only other successful Slam run was at the quarter-finals of the US Open juniors.
Early first and second round defeats at the French Open and Wimbledon respectively are a stark contrast to her achievements in Melbourne where she defeated young Brit Laura Robson 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) in the final.
Kristyna lost in the semi-finals that year to Robson but did win a junior Slam at Wimbledon six months later. First and second round defeats for her at Roland Garros and Flushing Meadows show how typically in sync the Pliskova sisters are but with five ITF titles to her name and a top 200 spot, Karolina just edges out Kristyna.
But just in case you were wondering, they have played each other before; Kristyna coming out on top 5-7, 6-2, 6-0 for her only ITF victory.
No doubt there is a long way to go before the duo begin registering on the public's consciousness. Although 19 is a young age on the surface (pardon the pun), the players who make it to the top have often already reached great heights on the professional circuit by that time.
And any suggestions that a career in doubles might suit better is squandered by their dismal ranking and failure to make an impression on the ITF circuit.
Neither have made an appearance at a professional Grand Slam thus far but this year they've both abandoned the juniors to improve on the senior tour.
Written on their joint website, both aim to make the top 100 this year in order to appear in more Grand Slam tournaments. Being the same age means there's likely to be a pattern in their progression so a career in doubles could well materialise if improvements are made.
Don't be fooled by the introduction though, a career anywhere to the level of the Williams sisters or the Bryan brothers is pretty much out of reach but they could certainly make a mark on the WTA tour in the future.
Karolina and Kristyna Pliskova have a huge task matching sport's greatest sister act Serena and Venus Williams

Well, Well, Wells
The quarter-final line-up for the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells has been decided and for some of the up and coming tennis stars it's been a very productive tournament.
Ryan Harrison impressed the most after reaching the fourth round as a wildcard entry. En route he beat top 50 Frenchman Jeremy Chardy and 22nd seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez before Roger Federer dispatched of the American in straight sets.
It was far from an easy ride for the 16-time Grand Slam winner though as Harrison took the first set to a tiebreak which the former world number one edged 7-4 before securing the second with a more comfortable 6-3 scoreline.
In the previous round Harrison had met another young prodigy in Milos Raonic. The 20-year-old Canadian defeated home favourite Mardy Fish to reach the third round but lacked the same sharpness which earned him his first ATP Tour title last month.
However, 17 aces as well as some great baseline work from Raonic showed the class he possesses and he's now flown out to Miami in preparation for the Sony Ericsson Open.
Ernests Gulbis had looked in good form going into his third round tie with Serbian Novak Djokovic after beating Taiwan no.1 Yen-Hsun Lu but this year's Australian Open winner kept his 2011 unbeaten streak intact with a 6-0, 6-1 blitz.
Elsewhere Aussie Bernard Tomic reached the second round whilst further American success came from Ryan Sweeting, Donald Young and Sloane Stephens from the women's draw.
Kim Clijsters has already declared she's a fan of 17-year-old Stephens who lost to world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the second round.
Certainly the experience gained as well as the ranking points earned from the combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier event will aid all the successful young players with Harrison already carving a name for himself.

Being a female tennis player brings with it more than just on-court duties.
The likes of Anna Kournikova and Tatiana Golovin have shown a glamorous career can materialize without necessarily having great success in the game.
With that in mind, here is a slideshow of some of tennis' most beautiful athletes that you may not have heard of, who could branch out and be remembered for more than just the sport they play.

The Curious Case of Ernests Gulbis
Latvia's Ernests Gulbis should be in the world's top 10, if not for his tennis skills then certainly for his crazy antics.
At the age of 22, he's already been to jail in Sweden after an incident involving a prostitute and on court breaks more rackets than a noise officer.
Novak Djokovic is the only top player with a bit of spunk. He's become a star via two Grand Slam titles and an increasingly popular internet career thanks partly to some hilarious impressions at the US Open (and Ace of Baseline also recommends his advert for Head).
"Ernie" is even more wilder than the in-form Serb but the potential for even more scenes like the ones from Djokovic are hindered by his poor performances on the big stages.
First round defeats have been next to Gulbis' name in major tournaments since the 2009 US Open and he has won only one ATP tour title. His record against top 10 players is also appalling.
Yet Gulbis did reach the quarter finals of the French Open three years ago so the talent is there, particularly on clay.
What's missing is the attitude to make it to the top. Most players who suffer a setback use the same line of trying harder in practice but for Gulbis he'd rather not bother with it.
There's also a case he may not even care about performing to the crowd but we'll never know until we see him on a regular basis.
A friend of Marat Safin, the two have drawn comparisons by their casual approach to the sport, somewhat refreshing but it doesn't garnish that much success.
Another problem facing Gulbis is he's a bit of a headcase. On the prostitute fiasco, an alleged solicitation attempt, he commented that everyone should experience jail once in their lives with six hours of his spent behind bars.
Gulbis didn't know of his lady friend's career choice because he didn't ask and after a fine he was free to go. On court he's known to get frustrated quite often and destroying his racket heads in the process.
It's a shame really that Gulbis isn't seen more by the public. When beating Roger Federer after missing six match points he said in an interview "I was shitting in my pants". Just imagine the kind of things he'd come out with. He's the kind of guy who'd snog Sue Barker on-air for a laugh.
The game needs more characters and the public will be grateful if Gulbis can one day match the feats of Djokovic on and off centre court.
And of course we'll be watching, in Ernests.

Bojana Jovanovski
Introducing the next star to come out of Serbia – Bojana Jovanovski.
Despite some dodgy questions a refreshing laid-back persona shines through.
Calling your opponent at Wimbledon "Australian girl" when being interviewed by a Brisbane-based network probably wasn't a great move but the way she answered the final question like Ernie is obviously the correct choice redeemed her greatly.
Based on looks alone she already bears resemblance to both Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic – the two Serbians ahead of her in the rankings – whilst her victory against the former certainly shows she possesses their on-court talent too.
As the youngest player in the top 100 of the WTA rankings (currently no. 55) she's no doubt one to look out for.
With a second round appearance at SW19 and this year's Australian Open in the bag she is set to make the main draw at the French Open for the first time this May.
The 19-year-old has a lot to live up to. Ivanovic won at Roland Garros in 2008 but since claiming the world number one spot after her third Grand Slam final and first victory she's fallen outside the top 20 and has been even lower.
Jankovic was a semi-finalist that year and the only player to take a set off the eventual winner. However she has yet to win a major despite making the US Open final months after that defeat to Ivanovic.
But if women's tennis taught us anything last year it's that anything is possible. Francesca Schiavone came from nowhere to beat fellow surprise finalist Sam Stosur in the French Open whilst Tsvetana Pironkova's semi-final run at Wimbledon defied all previous form.
Jovanovski has arguably more potential than both Schiavone and Pironkova with youth also on her side. Having yet to add a WTA title to her four ITF crowns the Serbian does have experience at Fed Cup level, performing strongly in straight set singles wins over Canadian's Aleksandra Wozniak and Rebecca Marino.
Jankovic should have won a Slam by now, Ivanovic should probably have won more and Jovanovski should prove this year that the Serbian production line still has plenty of juice left in it.
Can Jovanovski reach the same heights as fellow Serbs Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic?

Sleeping Giants
Since 2003, America has been awaiting a male Grand Slam winner.
Andy Roddick won the US Open on his own turf eight years ago and still remains the only real chance of adding to the illustrious legacy of a dominant tennis nation.
Roddick very nearly won Wimbledon in 2009 but at the age of 28 his chances of building on his solitary Grand Slam victory are slipping.
It's perplexing how a country which has spawned legends such as Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and John McEnroe is running out of talent at the highest level.
It's very much a similar story for Australian tennis too. Not since Lleyton Hewitt won Wimbledon back in 2002 have we seen the Aussies challenge at Grand Slam level.
Although not enjoying the same kind of history as the USA, with Mark Philippoussis and Pat Cash being the only other notable players in the last 30 years, they did produce tennis legend Rod Laver and the passionate sport-loving Australian public demand competitors in the Grand Slam event they annually host.
There is, though, hope that both countries could end their barren runs and it comes in the form of two 18-year-olds.
At number nine in the USA's best ranked players and at 156 in the world's, Ryan Harrison could be the next Grand Slam contester and take over the mantle of Roddick in two or three years.
Being an American automatically gives Harrison an advantage of great home support at Flushing Meadows enhancing his US Open chances in the process. Australian Bernard Tomic is in the same position.
Like Harrison, Tomic is currently sitting outside the top 100. On paper, you'd be forgiven for thinking he's another product of the Eastern European tennis machine churning out talented players every year but, although of Croatian descent, he is from Down Under.
That home advantage has already begun to have an effect with Tomic mustering a third round run at this year's Australian Open.
But be warned, the teen has also gained a controversial reputation in his short career so far. He's been quoted as saying compatriot and former world number one Hewitt was "not good enough" for him to practice with whilst his father and coach John has threatened to convert his nationality to Croatian.
That could hinder his dreams greatly as his support on and off the court wouldn't be at the same level.
Even if Tomic and Harrison don't make Grand Slam winners it's crucial for both countries to encourage new talented youngsters to pick up a racket.
Currently the Williams sisters and the recent success of Sam Stosur have been keeping US and Aussie fans content but after their reign ends there's little waiting in the wings to keep the respective legacies going.
Harrison and Tomic therefore play a more important role than just winning tournaments, they must also win over new tennis fans and the stars of the future.
Youngsters Ryan Harrison and Bernard Tomic are the next prospects from the supposed giants of world tennis

Right after we finally exited the western slope of the Rocky Mountains we met a woman fly fishing in a small coal mining town who asked us what we were doing. After hearing about the walk, she shook her head in shock that we had walked through Kansas. She bombarded us with questions about walking through the Sunflower State, but didn't inquire once about how we just made it through the Rockies. Her reaction is typical. When people we met asked us about our route early in the trip we often heard something like "you have to walk through Kansas? I hope you make it." Kansas was the state people expressed the most concern about, not the Rockies, not the desert, not the 110 miles in Utah with no services, and not the Sierra Nevada. Kansas. People seemed more worried about us dying of boredom than they did about us getting eaten by bears or frying in the desert. At 400 miles across, Kansas is the widest state we will walk through and many people who had driven through it warned us about the tedium of the landscape and couldn't imagine spending more than 6 hours on the road, let alone 3 weeks. However, our experience could not have been more different and I found that Kansas is a state where you can really only appreciate the beauty of the landscape and the character of its residents by walking. Below are some of the highlights from our time in Kansas.
Walking towards Manhattan, Kansas a woman named Tina pulled over in her minivan and invited us to spend memorial day weekend with her and her husband, Ponch. We learned later that they were both veterans and Tina had recently suffered an unexpected heart attack and decided to retire and spend more time exploring the country. Tina invited their neighbors over for a barbecue, showed us around the Kansas State campus, took us to her favorite Thai restaurant, and brought us to scenic viewpoints of the Tuttle Creek Lake. We discussed politics, Tina's time working for the government as an environmentalist, the military, homelessness, farming and more. We agreed on many issues and disagreed on some, but overall our conversations gave me hope for what effective political discourse could look like during this time. It didn't matter that we were a group of people with vastly different backgrounds, ages and experiences because everyone at the dinner table listened respectfully to each other talk about the challenges facing our respective communities and our hopes for how to build a better future.
However, the highlight of our time there was when Tina and Ponch took us to the community golf course practically in their backyard and taught us how to play what they call "Hillbilly golf." The rules to Hillbilly golf are there are no rules. We drove around on golf carts to the best holes to watch the sunset and hit as many balls off the tee as we wanted and then played whatever ball we felt was best. Or, we just threw the ball where we wanted to hit it. We crushed Keystone Light, while laughing hysterically whenever we whiffed the ball, which was often. There were no pretensions of clothing, silence, rules, and etiquette. Just golf clubs from Goodwill. Just tooling around. Just learning about another community. Just joy. "Hillbilly golf," my kind of golf.
Kansas is home to some pretty great world records. We stopped by the world's largest ball of twine and the world's largest easel. We also visited the geodetic center of North America; not a world record, but still a cool landmark.
Nicodemus, Kansas was the first African-American settlement west of the Mississippi River during the Reconstruction era. Newly freed slaves made the difficult journey to Kansas in hopes of creating a better life unavailable to them in the the south. Today the town is home to a visitor center with exhibits on the history of the town and African-American pioneers and 5 historic buildings from the early years of the settlement. The women who worked at the museum, some of them descendants of the first pioneers, were incredible. After we left the museum a storm developed and they drove out to check on us 3 times to make sure we were okay. When the storm looked like it may turn into a tornado they found a friend with a pick-up to give us a ride to safety. You can learn more about Nicodemus here.
Kansas's landscape is subtly stunning. Whereas the majesty of the mountains and canyons of a state like Colorado can be appreciated in every mode of transportation, from driving to flying, Kansas's beauty is much harder to see at 60 miles an hour. On the eastern side of Kansas there are rolling hills dotted with idyllic farmhouse and many lakes and state parks. As we moved west there was an endless sea of golden wheat; when the wind blows the strands change colors slightly, giving off a mesmerizing sparkle. When corn stalks are in their infancy, less than a foot tall, they are such a bright lime green that in the morning it looks like there are fields filled with glowing neon lights. In western Kansas we could walk ten miles and still see an outline of the grain elevator from the town we had stayed in the night before. Sometimes it felt like you could see to the end of the world. The sides of the roads are filled with tiny wildflowers, probably impossible to see in a car, that were all shades of pink, purple and yellow. The sunsets were some of the best we've seen yet. I could go on and on, but I'll let our pictures do the rest of the talking.


BUFFALO - (February 4, 2001) - The date and location for the very popular Buffalo Mile road races event has been changed. The new date is Saturday June 9 at 9:00 A.M. and the new location is Lincoln Parkway.
Historically the event is held late in May near the Buffalo waterfront. The event is directed by the Checkers Athletic Club. Checkers president, Diane Sardes, said the change was necessary because of difficulty in securing a permit for the traditional waterfront location. The new venue may offer runners a slight advantage: there is a subtle downhill near the end of the new one mile course!
For more information you may visit the Checkers Web Site or the Buffalo Mile web site.

College Commitments, News
Glover Will Return Home to Play College Hockey
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX – The Lone Star Brahmas are proud to announce that forward Drake Glover will play for the University of Alaska Anchorage for the 2017-18 season.
"Just to get the chance to play at home and for a program that I've watched for ten years is great. To play in front of my family and friends will be awesome, and I think watching [the Seawolves] for so long makes me want to go there even more," Glover said.
Glover is the kind of forward who can help turn around the Alaskan program. Growing up just a few minutes away from Sullivan Arena and the university, it was an easy decision to commit to the Seawolves.
"I'd go to games as much as I could just depending on what my hockey schedule was like," Glover added. "I had a couple of coaches who played there so there's a lot of alumni that's still around in the hockey community that supported a lot so I always tried to watch them as much as I could."
"I think it's a smart move," Head Coach Dan Wildfong said. "A hometown boy going back home to play Division I hockey. He came to the North American league to prove that he has the ability to play Division I college hockey. Obviously he's proven that so far and he has to keep going."
The 20-year-old forward leads the Brahmas in scoring with 15 goals and four game-winning goals through 27 games played. Glover is tied for seventh in rookie scoring in the NAHL with 26 points.
Glover has played alongside Peter Kessel and Austin Kamer since the pre-season, and he believes that the consistency has helped him find success.
"I think as we've gone through the season, we've gotten more comfortable and know where guys are going to be at the right times. I think they've done a hell of a job. Obviously can't thank them enough for what they've gotten me to do as a player and I appreciate what they and the rest of my teammates have done to help make me a better player."
His biggest adjustment to the NAHL was developing a quicker pace of play and becoming an all-around hockey player. Through the first half of the season, Glover has been one of the Brahmas top options on the power play and has re-found his scoring touch.
"I think the key was getting me to play with more speed, but I think Dan's really taught me to be more of a 200 foot player. I've always taken pride in that, but he's really pushing it on me to be 200 foot guy and not be a one dimensional player," Glover said.
"He also wants me to play more physical, which I think I've been doing this year, which I think ultimately helped me get a scholarship. Dan and Bryce [Thoma] really tried to improve my accountability by telling me to move my feet more all the time."
"He's playing with pace, he's playing a lot harder on a regular basis where I think he had some up and down moments [with the Weyburn Red Wings] so I know Anchorage likes the way he is playing and he's competing harder around pucks," Wildfong said.
Before his time in Brahmaland, the Anchorage native was a high-end playmaker in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and High School hockey. Through 89 games in Weyburn, Glover scored 72 points with 55 of those being assists.
Since coming to Texas, Glover's point production has remained steady and he even recorded a hat trick in his first North American Hockey League game.
"He's delivered for us as expected, but in different ways if that makes any sense," Assistant Coach Al Rooney said. "He's been more of a scorer for us than a set up man, but he can do them both. The pace of play has picked up from him and he's adjusted very well."
One thing the 6-foot-0, 185-pound forward will not have to worry about is adjusting to the coaching style in Alaska. Glover's relationship with the Seawolves coaching staff goes back to his bantam years of playing hockey.
Alaska Anchorage Assistant Coach Louis Mack coached Glover for two years growing up and helped him train during the summers as he advanced through his hockey career.
"I have a good relationship with [the coaching staff]. Coach [Matt] Thomas has seen me play hockey since he's been at UAA for about five years now," Glover said.
Glover plans to study either engineering or business, but he is keeping his options open. In the meantime, his primary focus is to help the Lone Star Brahmas win its first ever Robertson Cup.

This month I'm featuring a special sponsor giveaway from Creative Estates early in the month due to the nature of the giveaway. Shaelynn Benner, founder of Creative Estates, and a host of others are organizing a weekend of goodness to teach and share and generally enjoy being in the company of other creative types! Read more about Creative Estates below and enter you name in the comments section of this post to win a free pass to this conference valued at $149.00!
What do you think when you hear Creative Estates?
For us it was a dreamy idea... What if what if all our creative friends lived in one neighborhood?
We could go across the street, and borrow thread instead of eggs. Go next door if we needed handmade business ideas would be ideal. Stop down the street for help with a blog design or blog post. And stopping on the next street over to see a friend's new product or craft project? Amazing!
If we could have all of our creative friends in one neighborhood, it would have to be called Creative Estates.
For one weekend in April 2011, our dreamy idea is coming true! We're inviting all of our creative friends to come be our "neighbor" at the Creative Estates Conference.
We'll be teaching, learning, laughing, and making memories. It will be like one big block party with crafters of every kind!
Of course, Creative Estates isn't limited to a certain kind of crafter. Our neighborhood welcomes everyone from writers and scrapbookers to blog designers and sewers to jewelry artists and painters.
Creativity isn't limited in Creative Estates.
Won't You Be Our Neighbor?
Creative Estates is also offering a 25% discount on your conference pass if you enter the discount code SMILE.* Register here!
It sounds like it's going to be an exciting weekend!! Thanks, Shealynn, for such a fun giveaway!
*Discount is for conference tickets only and not the Handmade Market. Giveaway is for conference ticket only and not hotel or travel arrangements.
Would *love* to get away and go to creative estates!
This is taking place in my hometown. Would LOVE to win this. Sounds like such a great time.
Yay i am attending and cannot wait!
I would LOVE TO WIN a pass to CE!! I want to meet everyone! I don't live close but if I win a pass I can justify the other accommodations! My fingers and toes are crossed! MUST WIN THIS AWESOMENESS!
This is seriously just what I need right now! My book deadline is looming and I would love to share the weekend just being creative with like-minded souls!

This is in my home state and I'd love an excuse to go home for a weekend :)!!
Sounds amazing, definitely something I would be interested in!
Wow. That would be a dream!
Sounds fun to go and meet so many new people that are in similar situations... one thing (and probably the only thing) I miss about having a job pre-kids.
I have so few friends who sew and I feel very isolated in my passion. It would be so wonderful to have the opportunity meet more people who love to create. Thank you for the chance.
Love your blog. Want so badly to go to this conference:) I live in AZ! Please pick me!
i would love to win a ticket to creative estates!! the speaker list is amazing and the agenda is perfect.
Oh man, I would love to go to this conference.
Sounds like heaven on a stick! The perfect spring pick me up after a hectic Christmas season and cold, cold winter!
I would love love love to go to Creative Estates!
Wow! I would love to be your neighbor. Thanks for offering this up! I am crossing my fingers on this. I hope to meet you there.

Q: Requests to malicious IP being sent by background process on Windows Whenever an internet connection is established on my pc, I am repeatedly getting warnings from QuickHeal like this:
QuckhealWarning
I am getting such warnings repeatedly with different IP addresses. In the above image one of them is shown. These warnings appear even just after startup when no apps are open except the ones that start at startup.
I decided to investigate and here are some of my observations:

*

*A reverse DNS lookup of the IP addresses revealed that the domain name for most of them is of the form "torNN.quintex.com" where NN is a number like 48 or 90 (different for different IP addresses against which warnings were received)

*I tried to track the process which established the connection using the "netstat -ano" command and found their PIDs. Then I tried to kill the processes with the PID but it showed that the process doesn't exist. On observing a bit more I noticed that the processes making the connections were terminating instantaneously. My guess is that some other process is spawning these processes that are sending the request and terminating. So I tried to find the ParentPIDs using "netstat -ano && wmic process get ProcessID,ParentProcessID", but even then, the PIDs found by the first command didn't show up in the second one, probably because the processes terminated before their PPIDs could be captured by the second command.
The behavior of these processes and the presence of "tor" in the domain name and url path lead me to the conclusion that this might be because of some malware and I am quite worried about it. I also saw a high fraud risk score here. But I don't know how to get rid of it and am still unable to find the process that is spawning the other instantaneously terminating processes.
Can someone please guide me on how to find the cause and get rid of it ?
Platform: Windows 11

A: This is what I'd do. Use an app that catches all IP traffic and something that can see what ports are being used and use your firewall close them down. I would shut them all down and open them one by one eg. starting with port 80. If its coming though port 80 then you monitor all traffic through that port. The bad one is sure to be trapped that way. Eventualy you will find the port where the traffic is coming from and along with it maybe some  ipaddresses. Your firewall should be able to block that ip range.
You can also try netstat -a -n 2 > mylog.txt or other netstat options to get a log going. Run netstat -a -n 2 > mylog.txt for a while and the ctrl-c and then : type mylog.txt and you will see all traffic per second.

AZN from "Street Outlaws" Wiki: Facts to Know about the Philosophical Geek on "Street Outlaws"
By: Ashmeet Bagga - Published: February 13, 2018 at 6:23 am

Street Outlaws gains a bigger fan following each season. So it comes as no surprise that viewers are curious to know more about the racers. To learn more about Jeff "AZN" Bonnett, take a look at our AZN from Street Outlaws wiki.
Jeff "AZN" Bonnett's Wiki
AZN's real name is Jeff Bonnett. On Street Outlaws, he and Farmtruck have a dynamic friendship. While Farmtruck is behind the wheel, AZN does all the smart talk.
Also Read: "Street Outlaws" Azn and Farmtruck's Story: Are They a Couple?
His First Car was a 1964 Chevy II/Nova
Talking about his first car, AZN said:
"It had a straight-six in it and a three on the tree, which was my first experience with a manual transmission, so I assumed all cars came with the three on the tree. I was in high school at the time. Farmtruck was able to find it again in the Carolinas and get it back for me in the same condition that it was when I sold it. And that's the first car that I ever took a motor and transplanted a V-8 into with my dad and then transplanted an automatic transmission in it. And had my first street race in, got my first ticket in, and met Farmtruck in a street race in."
He went on to explain that it cost him around $2,800. His dad lent him the money as a loan, which he paid back in monthly installments.

Finding a Way to Pay off the Car
To make ends meet and pay his father back, AZN found work in an unconventional way: "All houses have an address number, and I found a way to put a note in their box, letting them know that if their house was ever to catch on fire, the fire department would be able to find their house easy."
He added, "They would call me up, and I would paint the address onto the curb. I told them just to leave the money in the envelope, and I would drop back by those houses, pick up the money in the envelope, and then paint the curb."
It was his father who taught him how to drive. Reminiscing about it, AZN said that his driving was horrible, and his father would scream more than he taught. But, ultimately, it was because of his father's strict way that he learned how to drive.
His First Car Determined His Career Path
Clearly, AZN is obsessed with his first car. In fact, his car helped him to decide what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. In the same interview, AZN said, "This car taught me what to wanted to do with cars for the rest of my life. And that was to make them as fast as I could handle and keep upgrading them to make it go faster. So, learn how to drive it and keep improving the potential of the vehicle to be my skill set."

Relationship Between AZN and Sean "Farmtruck" Whitley
Farmtruck and AZN met while racing on the 405 over 11 years ago, and eventually became close friends.
Because they are so close, and are always seen together, a lot of people wondered it they were dating. With there being no details on AZN's girlfriend, it only fueled the rumors. However, despite the fact that they have not commented on it, that is just speculation.
Recently Transformed a Car
A couple years ago, AZN transformed an old VW Beetle, which he named Dung Beetle because of the way it looks. But under the car is a 1000HP turbo-charged CB performance engine.
AZN's View on Street Outlaws
About Street Outlaws, AZN said, "I think that the show has added something to the automotive industry that it's been missing for a long time. And that's the ability to connect to it mainstream-wise. I think that people that don't even care about cars and even don't wish to care about cars, they're innately attracted to it by the way that the show presents us and the vehicles on it."
He explained, "I think that the show has been successful because of the fact that it's just a multifaceted version of the car life that we live, and it documents a little bit of who we are, what we do, and our competitive nature. So the show has really taken the automotive industry and presented it to people that would've normally never even researched it."
AZN and Farmtruck also run a website that sells accessories, apparel, hats, and decals. If you want any of their merchandise, their website is the place to go!
The site also has a blog and downloadable racing game for fans of the show!

For 2013 the Mobile Movement is extending its influence, exploring new territory (SXSW, WMC), building a label, and working on projects growing out of Mobile Mondays! synergy. Mobile Recordings will be putting out dance floor shakers from Operator Emz and crew exclusively on 45 rpm.
DJ influences/Similarities : Larry Levan, Jellybean, Lil Louie Vega, Bobbito, Red Alert, Danny Krivit.
i mean come on, you guys are playing 45's on a monday. ok, you have had some great guest dj's but "incubates creative collaboration?" pulpit? it's cool you are playing records but for the rest of us vinyl addicts that have been doing so for years, it ain't that big a deal. seems like way too much hype to me. Mr. Finewine been doing his thing every wednesday for 17 years, playing 45's that r sometimes not known and usually hard to find. i think he gets more props for being the best 45 party.
I would love for Mr Finewine to come do a guest slot at MM .

This fifteenth century castle, which appears to be almost floating on the wide moat around it, was one of the first to be built in brick rather than stone. It is the oldest example of a large scale brick building to survive in England.
The builder of this castle was Sir Roger Fiennes, born 1384 at Herstmonceux in Sussex. He was greatly rewarded for fighting in campaigns for Henry V, and was made Royal Treasurer by Henry VI. At the time he was the owner of the manor of Herstmonceux and also Hever Castle, but was not satisfied that either of them were grand enough for a man of his position. In 1441 he was granted a licence to crenellate his manor house , and so the building of the castle was begun.
Despite giving the impression of a mighty medieval stronghold, the castle was actually pretty useless as a defensive structure. The moat does not go all the way round, the brick walls would not be strong enough to repel cannon fire and the gun ports are at the wrong angle to actually fire a weapon from. However, Sir Roger was aiming more for a symbol of his great wealth than a fortress, and at Herstmonceux he certainly succeeded in creating an impressive country pile.
Sir Roger did not have much time to enjoy his new home as he died just four years later in 1445. His family held onto the castle for several more generations until 1541 when his great grandson Thomas was hanged for the murder of a gamekeeper at the age of 25. All the Fiennes land and titles were forfeited to the King, and although they were eventually restored to Thomas' daughter Margaret by Elizabeth I, the castle was at that time in decline. Margaret's husband was a Lennard, and the Lennard family owned the castle until 1693 when the castle was sold to pay off gambling debts.
These gun ports are more decorative than deadly!

The castle then had a succession of owners, some of them attempted to keep the castle in good order, others not at all interested. Fast forward to 1948 and the grounds of Herstmonceux were chosen for the new location of the Royal Observatory, which was being moved from Greenwich. Telescopes were installed in the grounds, and the observatory remained there until the late 1980's, when it was moved again. The buildings vacated by the Observatory were then turned into a science centre, which is open to the public as an attraction (see our 'Other Places of Interest' page for details).
Meanwhile in 1992 the castle was bought by Queens University , Canada and operates today as a college under the name of 'The Bader International Study Centre'. The castle and gardens have been restored and are open to the public, although the college is the main business at the castle today, with tourists as a sideline. The castle interior can be visited as part of a tour, but we did not go inside as their was a wedding on the day we visited so the inside areas were closed to visitors. The gardens are spectacular, with formal areas, woodland walks a mock Georgian house, and a magic garden with mushrooms, tree logs (and Fairies, apparently).
There is a tea room at the castle selling light snacks and they also sell a few souvenirs & postcards, as there is no gift shop at the castle (which is a relief sometimes!)

The castle & gardens offer a joint ticket with entry to the science centre in the castle grounds. It is a hands-on experience, with lots of activities to try. The joint ticket is good value and the science centre is a good fun way to round off the day. It has outdoor as well as indoor activities, so is good for all weather. It was very busy on the day we went. There is a cafe and gift shop on site, and tours of the telescope domes at certain times.
Our main tip for visiting the castle is don't get there before the opening time. The grounds open at 10am, due to more favourable road conditions than expected we arrived a whole ten minutes early at 9.50. The member of staff in the payment booth was most upset by our early presence, and seemed to not know what to do with us, even though we said we were happy to sit in the car and wait the ten minutes until opening. It was a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere while we waited, but we cannot believe that arriving a few minutes before opening time is such a rare occurrence that it should have caused such a state of flummox! Still, once we were allowed in we were early enough to be able to take our photos with no other tourists around, so it all worked out in the end.

The abundance of wisdom we have been given through the Teachings of the Temple is overwhelming. The Temple has eight hardback volumes in print and probably enough material for five or six more. There isn't a page we can open at random that doesn't speak to us specifically about some aspect of our lives. The task seems to be overwhelming as we flounder about scattering these wonderful teachings in all directions as a beginning swimmer scatters drops of water to sparkle in sunshine while he or she paddles furiously to keep afloat.
Pushing that analogy a bit further, the new swimmer learns to be still, to use the water to keep afloat, to trust the water and him/her self and then, with self-discipline and experience, to swim using any one of a number of strokes. No one can learn to swim for someone else. No one can learn to swim without getting into the water and practicing. Through experience will come wisdom, and the disciplined ability to move around in another element with a degree of comfort, skill and trust in that element.
"Knowledge of occult terms and written opinions of others on esoteric subjects will notadvance one a single inch on the path. True inner knowledge comes only from experience. The artist, the musician, the inventor, the scientist and the artisan, gain this inner knowledge by devotion to their work or studies. However apparently great or lowly the duty–if that duty is performed in the right spirit, the necessary links are being forged that some day will connect the brain-mind with the soul, and open up to the mind glimpses of the infinitudes. Right work and thought along the lines of duty at hand, prepares in the aura, definite grades of substance that act as conductors or channels for inner and latent forces to manifest through. Right occultism does not require one to know the name of the soul in Sanskrit and several other languages, nor does it require that the memory be stored with the nomenclature of the seven spheres or lokas, talas, principles, etc. Right occultism does demand however, that the heart be set right–attuned to the great anthem of brother/sisterhood–and that the neophyte should realize more and more, that not a person, creature or molecule of matter in the universe, however apparently degraded, is unworthy of his notice and love–that all such must be redeemed some time–brought back to the source from which they have fallen." We must never forget that we are irrevocably connected in consciousness with every person, creature and molecule of matter in all the universes and act accordingly.
In another place we are told that we, humanity, seek for happiness in other people, in conditions, in material objects and we find only temporary pleasure, then satiety, then disgust and despair. With telling insight the lesson comments on our very human tendency to be obstinate, insisting on doing it ourselves, "Yet no sage, no god, can prevail with man or woman to accept the truth graciously, and thus save himself or herself years of fruitless labor." Each of us insists on learning for our selves the long hard lesson. But we can choose to learn it with Joy and Love and Gratitude because these are the building blocks of all Life.
We are drawn to The Teachings of The Temple by our soul's recognition of the time, the place and unique opportunity for unfoldment at this time on our Path. It would stand us in good stead to remember that the soul is in reality a cosmic force and is of a greatness and power beyond the imagination of our personal mind. It has been building since the world began. We tend to have the idea that each one of us, with more or less trouble, drag our soul around with us throughout life. We don't seem to have any particular use for it on earth but we know we had better take good care of it or it tends to get "lost" somewhere. The soul comes in handy at death–you just get into it–and away you go. Well, the truth is it is not you or me who has a soul, the Soul has you and me.
What changes occur in our lives when we join the Temple? More than ever before we are held accountable for our selves, a process which is better known as conscious Self-responsibility. We are now in a stream of action that includes not only our personal selves but also every other person, place or thing in our life experience. That sounds like a noble endeavor, but how does one translate "noble endeavors" into daily action? Our teachings are filled with references to "there are no little things." As a human being, all of us are apt to think, "I can get away with it this time. It is such a small act, a small white lie, a sharp surge of anger that nobody sees that I can fly under the radar!" No such luck, the entities manning the "big grade book in the sky" never sleep, always notice everything, but, paradoxically, never operate with an attitude of bad or good, things are simply noted as an action or learning experience to be brought into balance at some point.
We have irrevocably pledged ourselves to begin the self-conscious journey on the Path. We are given opportunities to practice what we must learn, and at the same time we are tested on our performance. Then we get to do it again, and again, and again, and . . . until we finally make the correlations. We operate on the physical plane because we must, because we must learn to translate spiritual truths into physical plane actions. For me the biggest paradox of all is that we are asked to experience the physical plane through our personalities. However, we are NOT the personality, it is simply a tool through which the real person learns and teaches. In this process, we are asked to be kind: not just when we feel like it, but all the time. Be kind: not just in our group, but to all people everywhere. Be kind: not just to other people but to all manifested expressions of consciousness. That includes animals, plants, and the earth itself.
We are expected to think before we speak. We must question ourselves on the impact of our words on the other person. Do those words come from a place of Love or Anger? Do we remember what WQJ once wrote: "Anger ruptures the cohesion of the particles that compose the inner man/woman." He is talking of what anger does to us, NOT the other person at whom we direct the anger.
We are asked to help build the Temple on all planes. How to do this? Does it even need to be helped? What can I do that will benefit me, let alone others? We could speak of "little things" such as kindness, forbearance, acceptance, love, tolerance, and the whole list of positive attributes. I was calculating roughly that I have spoken at least once a month, over the past thirty years. That comes out to about 360 times I have probably addressed these qualities in some form or another! They are so important to my vision of Life as it is meant to be lived.
This morning I would like to speak of some other "little things" that focus on another side of spiritual life. One of these is the simple act of the offering of ourselves in physical form. How many times have we decided not to attend a class, service, or event in the Lodge based on the rationale, "I don't get anything out of that service, gathering, or that speaker; or I'm too tired, upset, or out-of-sorts to attend?" Have we even thought of what we take to the service, gathering, or class and how it benefits the consciousness of The Temple? One might rationalize that if, "I am too tired, my fatigue will only pull the group down." However, if we can make the sacrifice of attending, we might find our fatigue will be relieved; and if we could see reality on the inner planes we would find that the essence of our sacrifice enhances the group consciousness in a way that is many times the power of the initial fatigue! Of course, if we go with a martyr's attitude of how wonderful we are and what a sacrifice I am making, we have defeated the power of the offering, and actually subtract force from the group. The paradox again! We must choose because it is the right way to do things, not because we will earn spiritual brownie points!
And let me emphasize that there are indeed times when the choice of NOT attending a class, service or event is the wisest choice we can make. We just must be sure of the real motive back of our choice!
A very wise man once told me to bring my fatigue, disgust, anger, discouragement, or whatever was going wrong with me to the Temple or class and lay those feelings on the altar and say to the Master, "Please help me!" (and do it without giving Him a list of HOW to do it). Conversely we must bring our gratitude, love, idealism, joy, and energy to The Temple or class and lay it on the altar and say, "I offer you my greatest treasures." It is amazing what such choices can do to enlarge the group consciousness as well as our own. It will smooth out the surface of the day.
With the Temple teachings in place inside of ourselves, we can bring to every minute of every day the consciousness that all we say, do, and think is a sacred act, offered to All That Is. We don't have to change the things we do as we make a living, raise a family, scrub a floor, or talk to a neighbor. The change comes in our inner focus, the very focus that brought us to The Temple. The responsibility of being a Temple member or simply living by the rules set forth in the teachings seems to be at time overwhelming, but it is met by a love and trust from the Masters that is awe inspiring.
Come back to me, my child! You who wander – come, before fall of the night of life, when all enwrapped with dense shadows, you cannot see the way.
As deep has called to deep across the centuries of time, so have I called to you, and in your egotistic blindness every path save one, – the right one – pulls you farther from me, and I am compelled to stand still and see you go to certain sorrow.
The star which entices you is not the home you seek, nor can you reach the nearer star where I now stand, unless you now will take my hand and let me lead you home.
I do not threaten you, child of mine, but with my soul in arms against your foes, I plead with you to turn your back on all the voices of the night, and even though it be on sharpened rocks which pierce your feet, retrace your steps……and come back to Me.
This is a great partnership!

Jelena started her yoga journey in college while searching for a way to better cope with stress. It wasn't until a few years later that she began to deepen her practice in order to rehabilitate from an invasive spinal surgery. Her yoga practice soon became her refuge -- a way to cultivate a deeper, more intimate connection with body, mind and heart. She is hooked and thrilled to have discovered a physical activity that is simultaneously strengthening, soothing and rejuvenating.
Jelena is inspired by many different styles of yoga. In her teaching, she likes to incorporate a balance of alignment, flow, breath, words of inspiration and awareness of emotional and physical state. She yearns to share yoga's transformative powers with as many people as she can. Jelena believes that anyone can do yoga and welcomes beginners and advanced students alike. She strives to create a safe, serene and non-intimidating environment where students come to heal their bodies, uplift their souls and embody their full potential.
In her time off the mat, Jelena enjoys traveling to new countries, nature walks, cooking healthy meals, reading and sipping tea with friends and family.

Spetsofai is a Greek dish made with spicy sausages and green peppers. Its name derives from the words 'spentza' and 'fai', which mean 'hot pepper' and 'food'. The original version is hot and spicy, enough to make your blood boil, perfect for Ares, the God of War!
We mortals can make it as spicy as we like!
In a saucepan, slowly sauté the green peppers (without cutting them) in 3 tablespoons olive oil until they brown slightly on both sides. Remove them and place them on a plate.
In the same saucepan, add the sausages (cut in 1-inch slices) and brown them for 5 minutes.
Then add the green peppers, the grated tomato, water, salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 15 minutes.
