Christie Cairo, currently is the Director of the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program at Bodhi Seed Yoga & Wellness Studio. She brings many years of experience and lightheartedness to every class she teaches. She creates a space for her students to grow and glow from the inside out.
She began her career as a personal trainer in 1997 in the effort to help clients feel better about themselves. From there, she found yoga and loved what it does for the overall wellness of her students both physically and mentally.
Hi and thanks for checking in. My first experience with yoga came in 1991 when I enrolled in an 8 week course of Kundalini yoga. I continued to practice yoga on my own and at other facilities during the next 7 years and found it to be empowering, challenging and enjoyable. I always enjoyed how much better I felt after each class, not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. The practice allowed me to experience relief and feel free. I became more conscious and improved my relationship with myself by making peace with myself through this practice. This came in very handy when dealing with some of the challenges and experiences that I have been through since then. Some of my background includes owning and performing in a world touring dance revue called America's Ultimate V for eleven years.
I have also been a Natural Holistic Health & Spiritual Consultant and personal trainer for several years now as well. I love Michigan summers and do lots of sunbathing and organic gardening during that time of the year. There's nothing better than eating your own homegrown food! Delicious and Nutritious.
I began teaching yoga in May of 2000 and have now taught well over 7,000 classes. I enjoy and am thankful for the opportunity to enhance the quality of not only my life but also the lives of others through the practice of yoga. There is nothing else that I would rather be doing with my life right now. I've learned that practicing yoga is not only something that a person can do for physical exercise but is also an avenue of being more conscious and responsible with our total self and utilizing our unlimited potential. Being conscious is not just about being awake from sleeping but it is also about being aware of the thoughts we think, the feelings we have, the actions we do and what is going on right now. My interest, passion and intentions in instructing yoga classes are in assisting us all to evolve to higher states of consciousness, love and connection with all.
How we are and what we do has an impact not only on ourselves but also on the entire universe. (IE) As we become more peaceful, the world and universe has that much more peace existing in it. The purpose of life is to enjoy! When we are more conscious of the feelings we have, the senses we have and in touch with our higher selves, we make better decisions with our lives. When we make better decisions with our lives, we enjoy life more. I'm so pleased to be part of the staff of wonderful teachers at Bodhi Seed Yoga and share more of what I know. I am honored and thankful to have met Pat Hill who is a true warrior of enhancing the lives of others. I look forward to seeing you inspire me with your courage, strength, growth, compassion, joy, and love.
Daniel Carpenter was born a yogi! From a very early age, he has studied ancient spiritual texts. As a teenager, he decided on his own to become a vegetarian. He discovered the physical (asana) part of yoga when a friend brought him to Bodhi Seed. Daniel became a regular student, sometimes coming to classes four times a day. When the studio offered teacher training, he knew this was the path he was meant to be on. Daniel has the body, mind and spirit to be a truly inspiring teacher. His classes are taught from his heart. He also has the skills to help his students modify their poses to take them further.
Daniel's passion for Yogasana took root in the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice. He deeply appreciates the practical and proven method of Pattabhi Jois' sequence. Since completing teacher training Daniel has dedicated himself to broadening his teaching capacity to include a greater variety of methods, including Yin and Kundalini. Daniel sees yoga as a diamond, with each unique method making up a different facet, and, he believes, it's when a teacher has experienced that gem from every angle that he or she is best able to appreciate and teach the entirety of its beauty to others.
Anne brings many years of classical ballet training to her yoga practice. She enjoys helping her students balance mind, body, and spirit through graceful, fluid movement. She received her RYT 200 certification from Bodhi Seed Yoga and Wellness in 2014.
Yoga has brought happiness into my life and teaching yoga is a way to share and experience this happiness with others. I began practicing at Bodhi Seed and eventually obtained my RYT 200 certification from the studio in 2014. Yoga is a gift that can keep us physically fit and mentally centered in a world that can be hectic, busy, and unpredictable. A way to find sustained happiness within ourselves. Our practice will emphasize pranayama, asana exploration, and respect for our bodies. Come with an open mind and we will delve into our yoga practice together.
Kelsey began her yoga training at Moksha Yoga Center in Chicago in 2015 and was gifted the opportunity of studying under master teachers, Ana Forrest, Gary Kraftsow, Leeann Carey, Gabriel Halpern, Aadil Palkhivala, and Leeann Carey. She has been practicing the life-changing art since 2007 and completed her 200-hour Yoga Training Course in 2016. In the winter of 2017, Kelsey traveled to Asia to study with Rishikul Yogashala in Kerala, India, where she completed an additional 300-hour Yoga Training Course. By the summer of 2017, she will have completed an 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Training Course through Mindful Mamas Prenatal Yoga. Her inspiration stems from the many trainings, workshops, and teachers she has taken, attended, and practiced under. Kelsey continues to explore her knowledge through self-practice and supplemental trainings.
Kelsey's focus as a teacher is to explore the harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is so much more than just the physical practice. It is the combination of the physical body working in sync with breathwork and finding your Self. The root of her classes rises from Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, and Ashtanga and inspires students to make the practice their own. Students can expect a safe, creative space to practice and flourish physically, mentally, and spiritually in their own unique way.
Following his own passion for fitness over the last decade, Justin has trained in weight lifting, running, martial arts, and competed in triathlons and half marathons. It is through yoga that Justin found the connection between physical fitness, the relaxation of the mind through meditation, and the community element that the practice of yoga provides. Justin completed his RYT-200 in July of 2016 with the hope of offering a practice to students that can be fun, challenge each student physically at their own level, unite breath with movement, and provide an opportunity for the mind to relax and find peace, so that as their practice continues off the mat, they can confidently share all of their gifts with the world.
Early in her life, Whitney developed a passion for meditation and healing. She spent her high school and college years dedicating herself to developing her own yoga practice and expanding her mind, through academic study of health and wellness. Whitney completed her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Planet Studio under the teachings of Daniel Carpenter, and now enjoys guiding others as they seek healing and happiness through yoga and meditation.
Taylor has been a practicing student of yoga since 2011 when she began working toward her BA in Peace and Conflict Studies from Wayne State University. She continued to deepen her practice by completing RYT-200 training here at Bodhi Seed. She loves the balancing nature of Hatha Yoga.
Taylor creates a high-spirited space to practice where students are encouraged to reflect inward to tune into their true, glowing selves. She firmly believes that practicing yoga transforms our ability for self-love — allowing us to see the beauty of humanity, nature and the world around us.
Treehugger, dog lover and lifelong yogi, I began dabbling in yoga nearly fifteen years ago. Through developing a dedicated yoga practice I found a peace and calmness within myself that I had always struggled to obtain. I realized that by showing myself respect and gratitude, I was better able to extend that energy to others and this planet we call home. This is why I decided I needed to teach yoga and share it with others.
It is my goal as a student and teacher of yoga to develop a trusting relationship with our minds, bodies, and spirits, and recognize our interconnectedness. Students can expect a practice that blends breathwork, meditation, space for self-reflection, stretching, strengthening, and linking breath with fluid motion in a supported and healing space. May you feel peace, may you know happiness, may you be free from suffering. Namaste.
With a background in various yoga traditions, Ayurveda, meditation techniques, mindfulness training, the martial arts and energy work, such as Reiki; it is my intention to create a space where true healing and transformation can develop. Through the development of our practice, we can cultivate peace within mind, body, and spirit. With a focus on life-long learning, I am excited and honored to offer guidance to you on your path.

My name is Michelle Bedont. I am a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Patient Advocate, and have additional training in Adaptive Yoga with a 20-hour certification to help assist those with all levels of practice including those with disabilities, neurological diseases, and several health conditions. Yoga has truly changed my life and helped me with my own struggles. It has brought clarity, calmness, and tranquility into my life. Yoga and meditation are a true gift, I feel as if it is my true calling to educate and help others on their yoga journey. It is one of the most rewarding things in my life and brings my heart true joy. My specialty is chair yoga because I want to help expand everyone's abilities by making yoga available for everybody! My goal is to help people heal their mind, body, and soul through yoga and meditation. I have taught several different styles; yin, restorative, hatha, gentle, senior, slow flow vinyasa, and senior fitness classes. I use mindful-based stress reduction meditation as well as breath work in every style of yoga that I teach. It is as a tool for the mind to become calm, focused, and go deeper with oneself. I enjoy teaching yoga philosophy and sharing an important lesson in each class. I also love using essential oils in each class to help deepen the state of relaxation and provide aromatherapy as a tool for relaxation and rejuvenation. I have a background in psychology, pre-nursing, fitness, nutrition, holistic approach to healing, and I have a degree from Oakland Community College with a focus on psychology, nutrition, wellness, and world religions.

I am a lover of the outdoors, traveling, nature, animals, hiking, biking, swimming, dancing, singing, playing the drums, and all types of fitness. By living in alignment with our true purpose we create harmony and balance within. I have one wonderful son who is 23 years old with a traumatic brain injury from a catastrophic car accident we were involved in several years ago, a wonderfully supportive, talented, husband, and an amazing cat named Ziggy who acts like a dog.
I am an independent licensed Massage Therapist specializing in Bowen Therapeutic Technique and myofascial release. I have over 20 years of bodywork experience. I received massage training from Lakewood School of Therapeutic Massage and Bowen Certification in the United State through Bowen Academy of Australia and in Canada through Bowen College. In addition to bodywork, I have been instructing yoga for 17+ years. In the late '90s, I participated in a Yin Yoga Intensive offered by the up and coming Paul Grilley, and have been hooked on yin style yoga ever since. With the information neuroscience is currently presenting us and the new and deeper understanding of the fascial system coming to light, I view yoga, especially yin style as our very best "medicine". I welcome beginners and seasoned practitioners to come and discover the quiet gentle power of yin yoga.
I want to make people feel better. This is a simple and yet so complicated mission statement. It is an honor to be invited into someone's personal space, to be trusted, and welcomed. I take this privilege very seriously and jump at every opportunity to learn more about the human body and how we heal. Being a bit of an education junkie my practice evolves and unfolds as I continue to learn new effective and exciting techniques. I blend anatomy and kinesiology training with energy work and intuition to provide a healing experience on every level. My reputation has afforded me the opportunity to work with, and learn from, some of Detroit's top doctors and to have been welcomed into many innovative corporations who have decided to make their employee's wellness a priority. I do not yet know exactly where this road will take me but I certainly plan to sprinkle my path with love, compassion, and above all… hope.

The claim that "vaccines are completely safe" is FAKE news, yet the entire corporate-run media parrots the lie daily
The Crazz Files June 21, 2018
READ MORE AT NATURAL NEWS
Are vaccines safe? It's a loaded question, and many people prefer not to even discuss it because arguments about it can become very heated. It's hard to believe that there can be such dramatically conflicting views on something that science has proven again and again – that vaccines are unsafe – but the corporate-run media repeats this lie so often that many people simply take it as gospel. There's also the fact that sites like Google and Facebook like to ensure people only see news stories that support their beliefs rather than challenge them – beliefs that were created in the first place by truly fake news.
You don't have to look very hard if you want evidence that vaccines are bad. The first place you could head in your quest for the truth is the Department of Health and Human Services' very own Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. This is the site that Americans can use to report adverse vaccine events to health authorities. Around 30,000 VAERS reports about vaccine injuries and deaths are filed every year. It's a shocking number on its own, and it's likely only a fraction of the true number of injuries considering that many people don't use the system or even know it exists.
More than $3 billion has been paid to families who suffered from vaccine damage or vaccine death, and Congress has even set up a court devoted to vaccine damage cases. How is that even necessary for something that is as safe as the media claims? Perhaps the most infuriating part of this, however, is that the vaccine industry is granted legal immunity in such cases, so pharmaceutical firms are not liable for the damage. They just have to pay out settlements and then keep on selling their toxic vaccines and raking in the profits.

CDC admits vaccines contain harmful ingredients
Interestingly, the CDC admits on its own website that vaccines contain harmful ingredients. On their "Ingredients of Vaccines Fact Sheet," they admit that toxic substances like formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and thimerosal are commonly found in vaccines. Yes, that's right: They admit that they contain formaldehyde, which HHS has admitted causes cancer. They also own up to vaccines containing the neurotoxin MSG. Most people won't even touch food that contains this ingredient, much less inject it into their body knowingly. Perhaps the biggest offender, however, is the methyl mercury compound thimerosal, which is toxic to the brain and kidneys.
Let's look at another controversial issue the mainstream media is fond of reporting on: gun violence. Nobody wants to see children shot at school or anywhere else, and there's no doubt that something needs to be done about it. But while the mainstream media focuses on this very real problem, let's take a look at how many children under 17 are treated for firearm injuries each year. In 2012, the number was 5,800. And how many vaccine injuries are reported in a year? According to VAERS, there were 45,762 cases just in 2016 – some of which were life-threatening.
Kids are being pumped with more than 50 doses of vaccines before their sixth birthday, and this has somehow become "normal" and accepted thanks to the efforts of the corporate-run media. The reach of Big Pharma is tremendous, with the vaccine market being worth nearly $24 billion in 2016.
Money talks, and the media has advertisers to please, so you're not going to hear the true story there any time soon. It would be interesting to see, however, what they'd be saying about vaccines if Trump was promoting them and they didn't have to worry about appeasing Big Pharma. Something tells us they'd be singing a very different tune about vaccine safety if that were the case.

Ahmed S. Eltemtamy was born and raised in Kuwait, the son of Egyptian parents. His father is an eye surgeon and his mother a social worker. Eltemtamy says he doesn't remember a time when he didn't have the urge to create art. "It used to get me in trouble with teachers," he laughs. "While the other students were busy with their assignments, I'd be at my desk drawing trees, birds and portraits." He says he sold his first painting, a watercolor, while in third grade and continued to draw and paint throughout his formative years.
After graduating from high school in the late 1970's, Eltemtamy attended college in England for two year, and then moved to the United States. He attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana with the goal of becoming an architect, but married and moved to Dallas before finishing.
After working for several years in a management position with Radio Shack Corporation, Eltemtamy formed a partnership with a college friend to export American-made automobiles to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In 1989 he and his partner moved their business to the Florida panhandle. With the responsibilities of a family and growing business, Eltemtamy says he found little time to spend on his art.
His earlier works, mostly drawings, watercolors and pastels, were displayed and stored at his parent's home in Kuwait. "In 1991 my parents were vacationing in Egypt. The day before they were to return home, Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraqi soldiers occupied my parent's house and booby-trapped it when they left." Nearly all of Eltemtamy's artwork was destroyed. Only a small sketchbook remained, which Eltemtamy now keeps at the Ormond Beach home he shares with his wife and two daughters.
Eltemtamy moved to the Daytona Beach area in 1992 to be closer to the auto auctions and dealerships. In 2000 the partnership was dissolved, and Eltemtamy began selling insurance and buying and re-selling antiques and art. He says he noticed that at auctions older oil paintings would usually sell for only $5 or $10, but Florida landscape paintings by certain artists were going for considerably more. He learned that those artists, and others, were referred to as "Highwaymen".
Although it had been more than a decade since he had created his own art, Eltemtamy says he thought to himself, `I can do that'. Eltemtamy purchased an oil painting kit for $14.95. "My goal was to do one painting, and then sell it for enough to make back my money." He painted an interpretation of a John Maynor Highwayman landscape. He decided to list it on the internet auction site eBay. "I had been inspired by the Highwaymen artists, and I thought of myself as their contemporary counterpart - an `information super highway' artist."
His first painting sold for $50.00. That gave Eltemtamy the confidence to paint a second piece, which then sold for $75.00. "If those first two pieces hadn't sold," he says, "I probably would have dropped the idea and moved on to other things." Instead, he decided to continue painting and vowed to improve his technique. Early on he sought out his favorite artist of the Highwayman genre, Sam Newton, at Newton's Cocoa Beach studio.
"I took several of my paintings along to show him and asked him if he would give me lessons. He looked my work, and said 'you should be giving the lessons, not taking them!"' Eltemtamy persisted and ended up spending six months during 2002 and 2003 studying with the Florida Hall of Fame artist. "Sam taught me how to work with oil paint, how to mix the colors and use the palette knife. He has been making his living as an artist for more than forty years and unlike other art teachers that I had in the past, he teaches you the technique and leaves the rest to you."
In 2003 Eltemtamy decided to follow his mentor's lead and make the creation of art his full-time occupation. He opened his own studio and gallery on Beach Street in Daytona Beach, but closed it when he found it difficult to both paint and keep retail hours. While he still occasionally offers his work on eBay, Eltemtamy now exhibits at galleries in Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach and St. Augustine. He also has a dedicated following of local collectors.
Eltemtamy continues to specialize in the nostalgic rural Florida landscapes perfected by legendary Florida artist A. E. Backus. "Have you seen the Backus Museum in Fort Pierce?" he asks. "Backus was the master of portraying light and mood." Eltemtamy also admires the work of Sam Newton's late brother Harold, Roy McLendon and St. Augustine's Tripp Harrison.
Eltemtamy says he is just now beginning to paint to his potential. "I didn't start (creating art) again until my early forties. On a scale of one to ten, I'd put myself at a two or three. But I am learning more each day."
"By Greg Milliken. The Daytona Beach News-Journal"


The single most important piece of equipment that a printmaker owns is their press. It is probably also the single most expensive piece of equipment and it may be the heaviest piece of equipment. If you have never been in a print studio though, it may be difficult to imagine what one of these beasties looks like.
There are several different types of presses, but the most common is the etching press. It is a versatile machine, however, and is used to print etchings, woodcuts, collagraphs and monotypes.
This is the etching press in my studio (Copper Plate Press, Loveland, CO). It was made by Takach Press Corporation in Albuquerque NM. It has of a flat bed made of laminated wood, aluminum and high pressure laminate. Most presses use a steel bed. There is a large pressure roller, easily seen here. There is a second roller, identical to this one under the bed that actually moves the bed. The crank and reduction mechanism turn that lower roller. Finally, there are a set of pressure adjustment screws.In operation, the plate is placed flat on the bed, the paper placed on top of it and the bed of the press moves in between the rollers, pinching the plate and paper between them, applying the desired pressure.
On this particular press, the upper roller is 10″ in diameter. The upper roller is not driven, only the lower one, which in turn moves the press bed. The height of the roller over the bed needs to be adjusted precisely to control the pressure applied. This changes as the thickness of the plates, blankets and papers changes. The roller must also be exactly parallel to the surface of the bed or the pressure will not be even across the plate. The micrometer adjusters, one on each side, allow this to be controlled easily, precisely and repeatably.
The bed of the press dictates the working size. This is a large one. It's bed is 44″ wide by 84″ long. It is theoretically possible to create a bleed print (one where the image bleeds off the edge of the paper) of nearly that size (the working size is fractionally smaller). Leaving paper margins obviously reduces the size somewhat. While the paper can hang off the ends of the bed, it cannot be any wider since it must go under the supports for the upper roller. The largest plate I have printed on this press was 40″ x 54″ printed on 42″ x 58″ paper.

Rockwell Qualifies for Tipp 'A' schools football final
From the throw in Abbey C.B.S. were quick into their stride and got the opening score after 4 minutes through Shane Ryan. On one of Rockwell's breakaways Conor O'Brien scored a fortuitous goal. However, the Abbey controlled the remainder of the first half scoring a further 1-5. The Rockwell team were unable to stem the tide as wave after wave of attack saw mid field penetrated by their stalwarths, Nathan Crowe and Darren O'Dwyer.
Rockwell made a couple of positional switches at half time and brought on the influential Sam Slattery. Rockwell now took control at mid field with Jake Flannery and Conall Kennedy getting the upper hand. From the throw in, at the commencement of the second half, the ball was sent in through a direct pass to Ryan Lambe, who struck it over for the opening point. Rockwell went on to dominate the next 20 minutes and clawed back the deficit. The sides were level after 20 minutes. The game was now on a knife edge with both sides exchanging points in the remaining 10 minutes to leave the match tied at 1-9 each.
The match now entered extra time. Rockwell upped the ante and with some slick inter play, involving Jake Flannery, Mark Kehoe and Ryan O'Sullivan, they rattled the Abbey net on two occasions through Ryan Lambe and Jake Flannery. The Abbey were unable to respond and Rockwell's superior fitness told in the second period of added time where they scored a further 1-3 to the Abbey's 1-1. Mark Kehoe played a crucial role in Rockwell's resurgence while Ryan Lambe was a thorn in the Abbey side. Jack Holohan at corner back, Jake Flannery, Conall Kennedy and Conor Lonergan caused a lot of problems while Jack Harney controlled the centre of defence. Final score Rockwell College 4-12 Abbey CBS 2-10.
Well done to all the team and coach Tony Smith.

Nechako watershed group presses Victoria for action in wake of wildfires
by admin|Published October 29, 2018
The Nechako Watershed Roundtable is calling on Victoria to conduct a timber supply review in the area ravaged by wildfires this summer.
"The NWR Core Committee has grave concerns for the health of the Nechako watershed following a decade of unprecedented wildfire, and other changes, in our watershed," the committee stated in a 'statement of concern' from co-chair Brian Frenkel and sent to Premier John Horgan, Forests Minister Doug Donaldson and Environment Minister George Heyman. "The combination of the mountain pine beetle epidemic, salvage logging, and major wildfires has created a series of threats within the watershed with severe implications for runoff and flood risk, erosion, water quality, and habitat, and related community impacts and concerns," said Frenkel.
The area was particularly hard hit by wildfire this summer with eight major fires burning close to 450,000 hectares of forest. The Nechako Watershed Roundtable says that comprises about 11.5 per cent of the watershed.
"We have entered into unprecedented time in history where changes to our environment are leading to increasingly catastrophic events that pose threats to the future of our communities, the health of our citizens, and serious concerns over the state of ecosystems and economies upon which we depend," said Frenkel.
The call for a timber supply review comes out of the Abbott and Chapman report, 21st Century Disaster Management in British Columbia, commissioned by Victoria following the devastating 2017 wildfire season. The report recommends that such reviews take place "promptly" to "enable industry response and adaptation to a new allowable annual cut and to all B.C. to better understand and respond to impacts on habitat, fibre availability and community stability."
Such a review, states the roundtable, would facilitate better planning to protect "all values of the land base."
The Nechako is the second largest watershed in the Fraser River basin, with the combined Stuart-Nechako system draining a landscape of 52,000 square kilometres.
"We strongly urge all levels of government to enter into dialogue that will examine current and past land and water management practices and legislative policies that may be impacting or exacerbating these issues," wrote Frenkel. "We call for urgent consideration of proactive measures that minimize the long-term adverse impacts of disaster-response activities such as fireguards, and also optimize concerted, coordinated efforts to reduce future fire and flood risks."
The roundtable will hold its annual meeting in Nautley, home of the Nadleh Whut'en, on Friday.
The Nechako Watershed Roundtable is an advisory, collaborative initiative with a vision of a healthy Nechako watershed for generations to come. Its aims are to protect and improve the health of the Nechako watershed for future generations. The roundtable is a group of representatives from a diversity of organizations including local government, First Nations, provincial and federal government agencies, the private sector, stewardship and other non-profit organizations, academic researchers and concerned citizens.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Gloria Steinem—writer, activist, organizer, and inspiring leader—tells a story she has never told before, a candid account of her life as a traveler, a listener, and a catalyst for change. ONE OF O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINE'S TEN FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR | NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Harper's Bazaar • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • Publishers Weekly When people ask me why I still have hope and energy after all these years, I always say: Because I travel. Taking to the road—by which I mean letting the road take you—changed who I thought I was. The road is messy in the way that real life is messy. It leads us out of denial and into reality, out of theory and into practice, out of caution and into action, out of statistics and into stories—in short, out of our heads and into our hearts. Gloria Steinem had an itinerant childhood. When she was a young girl, her father would pack the family in the car every fall and drive across country searching for adventure and trying to make a living. The seeds were planted: Gloria realized that growing up didn't have to mean settling down. And so began a lifetime of travel, of activism and leadership, of listening to people whose voices and ideas would inspire change and revolution. My Life on the Road is the moving, funny, and profound story of Gloria's growth and also the growth of a revolutionary movement for equality—and the story of how surprising encounters on the road shaped both. From her first experience of social activism among women in India to her work as a journalist in the 1960s; from the whirlwind of political campaigns to the founding of Ms. magazine; from the historic 1977 National Women's Conference to her travels through Indian Country—a lifetime spent on the road allowed Gloria to listen and connect deeply with people, to understand that context is everything, and to become part of a movement that would change the world. In prose that is revealing and rich, Gloria reminds us that living in an open, observant, and "on the road" state of mind can make a difference in how we learn, what we do, and how we understand each other. Praise for My Life on the Road "This legendary feminist makes a compelling case for traveling as listening: a way of letting strangers' stories flow, as she puts it, 'out of our heads and into our hearts.'"—People "Like Steinem herself, [My Life on the Road] is thoughtful and astonishingly humble. It is also filled with a sense of the momentous while offering deeply personal insights into what shaped her."—O: The Oprah Magazine "A lyrical meditation on restlessness and the quest for equity . . . Part of the appeal of My Life is how Steinem, with evocative, melodic prose, conveys the air of discovery and wonder she felt during so many of her journeys. . . . The lessons imparted in Life on the Road offer more than a reminiscence. They are a beacon of hope for the future."—USA Today "A warmly companionable look back at nearly five decades as itinerant feminist organizer and standard-bearer. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to sit down with Ms. Steinem for a casual dinner, this disarmingly intimate book gives a pretty good idea, mixing hard-won pragmatic lessons with more inspirational insights."—The New York Times "Steinem rocks. My Life on the Road abounds with fresh insights and is as populist as can be."—The Boston Globe

'He's been part of the Coldplay family since day one, we love him.' COLDPLAY 'A funny, honest, absorbing account from an unseen member of the World's biggest band.' SIMON PEGG Longtime Coldplay roadie Matt has taken almost every step with the band over a decade of world tours and 40 million (and counting) record sales. In this, his first book, he reveals what life is like behind the scenes at the pinnacle of rock 'n' roll touring. As Coldplay move from club gigs to arenas and stadiums worldwide, Matt goes with them; faking it as a band member on US chat shows, flirting with Kylie, saving a life on a French motorway and even pitching in with the odd guitar riff in the studio. Roadie provides the definitive glimpse of backstage life. Tales of hurricanes and heatwaves, helicopter chases and private jets, plectrum hunters and projectiles all come together as Matt explains in his unique way - and regardless of the mountain (and gear) to move - that the show must always, always go on.
Home Before Daylight
Author : Steve Parish,Joe Layden
The untold story of life on the road with the Grateful Dead, written by an insider who lived it from the early days to today. Steve Parish was never one to walk the straight-and-narrow, even during his childhood growing up in Flushing Meadow, Queens. Busted as a teenager for selling acid in the summer of 1968, Parish landed in Riker's Island. The experience changed him and after getting out he did his best to stay out of trouble, securing a job moving music equipment at the New York State Pavilion. The first show he worked was a Grateful Dead concert in July of 1969 and Parish was captivated by the music. A life seemingly headed nowhere had suddenly found its calling as he fell in quickly with a band of likeminded misfits who formed the nucleus of what would be the greatest road crew in rock 'n' roll history. Parish traveled to California where his apprenticeship began. Working for the band for free and learning his craft, Parish got to know Jerry, Bobby, Phil, Billy and Mickey and through the years their relationships forged an unbreakable bond. He became very close with Garcia in particular, acting as his personal roadie and later manager for his solo performances and Garcia Band shows. He was there during times of trouble (like when a pimp held Garcia hostage at gunpoint in a New York hotel room), spending hours by his bedside when Garcia was in a coma in 1986, and performing the duties of best man at his wedding. He was also the last friend to see Garcia alive. Throughout the Dead's historic run, there were parties of biblical proportion and celebrity run-ins with everybody from Bob Dylan to Frank Sinatra--but there was a dark side to life on the road and tragedy didn't just strike the musicians. But Home Before Daylight is a story of friendship, of music and redemption. It is a piece of music history, one that reflects the American spirit of adventure and brotherhood. Seen through Steve Parish's eyes and experiences, The Grateful Dead's wild ride has never been so revealing.

The Road to Home
Author : Vartan Gregorian
Vartan Gregorian's tale starts with a childhood of poverty, deprivation, and enchantment in the Armenian quarter of Tabriz, Iran. As the world reeled from depression into six years of warfare, his mother died, leaving his grandmother Voski as the loving staff of his life. Through unlettered example and instruction, he learned about the first of his many worlds: the strenuousness required for survival, the fairy tale that explained existence, the place and name of his own star in the night sky, how to maneuver as a member of a Christian minority in a benevolent Muslim kingdom, the beauty and inspiration of Armenian Church liturgy, the exciting foreign world of ten-year-old American westerns, the richness of life on the streets. He learned the magic of the innumerable worlds he could find in books -- and he wanted to visit them all. As the spell books cast on him grew more powerful, so did the constraints imposed by his father's indifference to his dreams of redirecting his life through learning. So, one day when he was fifteen years old, he presented himself at an Armenian-French lycee in Beirut, Lebanon, to start the arduous task of becoming a person of learning and consequence. This book tells not only how he reached that school but also about the many people who guided, supported, taught, and helped him on an extravagantly absorbing and varied journey from Tabriz to Beirut to Palo Alto to Tenafly to London, from Stanford University to San Francisco State University to the University of Texas at Austin to the University of Pennsylvania to the New York Public Library to Brown University and, currently, to the presidency of Carnegie Corporation of New York. With witty stories and memorable encounters, Dr. Gregorian describes his public and private lives as one education after another. He has written a love story about life.

Editor : FriesenPress
Once Upon a Red Eye is a compelling memoir that offers rare insight into the behind-the-scenes life of a Canadian musical icon. Here are the colourful recountings of Richard Harison, who spent a dozen years serving as Gordon Lightfoot's road/stage manager, concert sound engineer, and lighting designer/director. In the time of his employ with Lightfoot, Harison enjoyed all manner of adventure. He accompanied the famed singer/songwriter and his band on concert tours of the world, celebrity meetings, thrilling performances in halls grand and small, and travel mishaps, including three bomb scares and two consecutive aircraft engine failures.Woven expertly into the background of Harison's stories of music, tours and elaborate pranks, history plays out in iconic bursts. The Vietnam War, an encounter with the Black Panthers, and a UK tour during the serious political/religious upheaval in Ireland all provide context to Lightfoot's international presence in this epic stretch of time. Between 1970 and 1981, Richard Harison was part of Lightfoot's remarkable story, serving as a source of friendship, personal, and practical support for Lightfoot and basking in his special glow.

Summary of Gloria Steinem s My Life on the Road
Author : Everest Media,
Release : 2022-05-13T22:59:00Z
Editor : Everest Media LLC
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have spent half my life on the road. I have never tried to write about this way of life, not even when I was reporting on people and events along the way. It just seemed to have no category. I was a journalist following stories, then a worker in political campaigns and movements, and most consistently an itinerant feminist organizer. #2 The first reason I wrote this book was to share the most important, longest-running, yet least visible part of my life: traveling. #3 Traveling, or even living for a few days where you are, in an on-the-road state of mind is important. It can begin the moment you leave your door. #4 My third hope is to share stories. For millennia, we have passed down knowledge through story and song. The magic of people telling their own stories to groups of strangers is as if attentive people create a magnetic force field for stories they didn't know they had within them.
Nirvana A Tour Diary My Life on the Road with One of the Greatest Bands of All Time
Author : Andy Bollen
Editor : Metro Publishing
When Nirvana first exploded onto the music scene in 1991 with the anthemic 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', few people could've predicted their subsequent global impact. No one knew then that Nevermind would become one of the seminal albums of the decade, selling over 30 million copies worldwide and spearheading a whole new 'grunge' movement. In so doing, the band's lead singer Kurt Cobain was transformed into one of music's most enduring and iconic figures.As drummer for the British group Captain America - one of the two support bands on Nirvana's Nevermind UK tour - Andy Bollen had a ringside seat at the exact moment that Nirvana went massive. Afforded the sort of access a journalist could only dream of, Andy Bollen wrote up his own personal diary in Nirvana's dressing room. Here, he spoke candidly to Cobain: from his fears of losing original fans to his love of the Bay City Rollers. He saw firsthand how Nirvana worked, the relationships that made them tick and the dynamic that made them one of the great bands.Nirvana - A Tour Diary is a warm, affectionate, funny and, at times, brutally honest account, written by a guy on the periphery, waiting in the wings, a mixture of Woody Allen's Zelig and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. Drawing on diaries kept at the time, the book brings to life a pivotal moment in rock history making it a must-read for the many millions of Nirvana fans and lovers of iconic rock stories everywhere. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be there, backstage, at the start of the Nirvana phenomenon, then read on ...

Revolution from Within
Editor : Open Road Media
Newly updated: The bestseller "that could bring the human race a little closer to rescuing itself" from the subject of the film The Two Glorias (Naomi Wolf). Without self-esteem, the only change is an exchange of masters; with it, there is no need for masters. When trying to find books to give to "the countless brave and smart women I met who didn't think of themselves as either brave or smart," Steinem realized that books either supposed that external political change would cure everything or that internal change would. None linked internal and external change together in a seamless circle of cause and effect, effect and cause. She undertook to write such a book, and ended up transforming her life, as well as the lives of others. The result of her reflections is this truly transformative book: part personal collection of stories from her own life and the lives of many others, part revolutionary guide to finding community and inspiration. Steinem finds role models in a very young and uncertain Gandhi as well as unlikely heroes from the streets to history. Revolution from Within addresses the core issues of self-authority and unjust external authority, and argues that the first is necessary to transform the second.

A beautifully illustrated collection of Gloria Steinem's most inspirational and outrageous quotes, with an introduction and essays by the feminist activist herself "A fearless book full of passion, resolute perspective, and unbiased hope for the future."—Janelle Monáe For decades—and especially now, in these times of crisis—people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem's gift for creating quotes that offer hope and inspire action. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, Steinem's words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Covering topics from relationships ("Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person.") to the patriarchy ("Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how the patriarchy is enforced every day.") and activism ("Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up."), this is the definitive collection of Steinem's words on what matters most. Steinem sees quotes as "the poetry of everyday life," so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, and Michelle Obama, in this book that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some quotes of your own. In fact, at the end of the book, there's a special space for readers to add their own quotes and others they've found inspiring. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Steinem to readers, and a book to share with friends.
Author : Cormac McCarthy
Editor : Vintage
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, The Passenger.

My Life in Middlemarch
Author : Rebecca Mead
Editor : Bond Street Books
Rebecca Mead was a young woman in a coastal town of England when she first read George Eliot's Middlemarch. After gaining admission to Oxford, and moving to the United States to become a journalist, through several love affairs and then marriage and family, Rebecca Mead reread Middlemarch. The novel, which Virginia Woolf famously described as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people," offered Mead something that modern life and literature did not. In this wise and revealing work of biography, reporting, and memoir, Rebecca Mead leads the reader into the life that her favorite book made for her, as well as the many lives the novel has led since it was written. Employing a structure that perfectly mirrors that of the novel, My Life in Middlemarch takes the themes of Eliot's novel and brings them into the world. Offering both a fascinating reading of Eliot's biography and an uncanny portrait of the ways in which Mead's life echoes that of the author herself, My Life in Middlemarch is a book for who wonders about the power of literature to shape our lives.

WELL PUT, INDEED.
Though I think that the 'knowing how to control' by pushing emotional buttons is not always all that conscious.
I think it's more reflexive rather than premeditated.
I think it is MORE a kind of striking out--vengence, retaliation, or 'merely' just spewing out of their chronic inner angst and gritch. See my post above.

I think you'll find we've somehow shifted into the twilight zone, where everything is backwards.
Offense is the fault of the victim rather than the obnoxious jerk; 'Liberal' has been redefined to satan incarnate rather than 'willing to accept change'; Science is somehow demonized; Blogs are somehow factual sources and anything that disagrees with them is 'liberal propaganda'; The people who complain most about emasculation are the loudest whiners...
The Republican "outsider" is a CFR-supporting man whose 2000 platform had universal healthcare, and later donated millions to his present opposition; but I digress...

There are multiple reasons why some people get a high out of seeing others getting pissed off. One "alternative" reason I can think of is that some people want a deeper glimpse into the psyche of an individual who is otherwise in a calm and collected state of mind.
Which is strange, because behaviour is more likely to be unpredictable and rash when feelings of anger take over — not indicative of their normal nature. But that might be precisely the motivation for eliciting the anger in the first place...

I know that I am not morally superior and surprising enough,I do listen.
My mind is made up on certain subjects and I won't change it.
I won't ever go so far as to say I won't change my mind, but I will say that there are very few arguments on some subjects that I have not seen and considered and rejected many, many times after having thought them through. When it comes to those arguments, unless you can present them in a novel way, I am going to summarily and sometimes flippantly dismiss them.
It doesn't always have anything to do with my perception of your intellect, merely my boredom with the argument itself.
Realtruth
I think it's a mixture of things.
Some people lack candor and respect for others, via narcissism and ego. On the other hand, lots of individuals these days over-react to tiny issues (Butt-hurt easily).
Good post S+F

I've been a heavy Internet user since about the year 2000, people have always been like this on the net, but to a lot lesser degree than now.
I do think that the anonymity has increased the percentage of people being hooked on being right, it's like being on a mild drug. When you feel that you are right, or that you have dominated the conversation, you release hormones that go to the brain (adrenaline, dopamine) which make you feel really good.
With anonymity, and mostly not having to SEE the persons reaction in real life and only having to read it, gives you way more chance of FEELING you are a dominating person (you can easily convince yourself that you are smarter from behind a computer screen). So consequently it is way more easier to get that hormone rush, and many thrive (a vast majority) on it now, and the more condescending you are the better it make you feel.
The downside is, what you use to trigger other peoples nerves also triggers yours, and that is why you use those triggers.
What I do when I feel that someone is being condescending, I point it out that person in a polite manor, remind him/her that this is only an internet discussion with a stranger, that we can have different point of views but you don't have to make yourself feel smart by being condescending to get your point across. If the person says that he/she didn't mean to be condescending (it happens a lot) then continues the conversation in a polite manor I continue the conversation also, if the person goes full blown sarcasm and whatnot I just leave that person alone and respond to others.
Bottom line is we all get a rush when we feel that we are dominating, just some people get addicted to it, hence why "trolls" exist, though I think the term trolls is a bit to general.

Well some "people" sure do seem to get pissed off at the littlest nit-picky things.
And many times it's their own fault for mis-interpreting.
Talk about irony...


Marie-Laure lives a simple but happy life, with her father, the locksmith of the Museum of Natural History. The museum, filled with snails, creatures and hidden gems, is where they spend most of their days. Between memorising routes and recognising scents, Marie-Laure, blind since the age of six, puzzles and plays with a miniature Paris model made by her father. She delicately navigates her way, using her fingers as eyes, around the ingenious replica. Over time she learns her way home, only to be forced out of Paris to the walled city by the sea – her new maze.
In Germany, Werner endlessly tinkers with radios in the attic of the orphanage. His talents and curiosity bring him to the attention of the Nazis, and he is sent to a school for the Hitler Youth. He questions the fate of his friend Frederick and spends his evenings working in the laboratory with the giant Volkheimer.
The deeply moving stories of Marie-Laure and Werner are unusual and emotionally plangent. Oscillating chapters, describing their crossed paths in the heart of the war, are deftly written, full of beautiful imagery, and endearing idiosyncrasies.
It's a great book. I loved it.
I'm reading this right now! It's great!
