Gathering of Love With God's Action in Sudbury, Ontario,
Through His Instrument, The Girl of My Will in Jesus
2007-10-13 - Part 2
The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: The Lord's joy is also our joy. When we are in tune with the Lord's joy, then the Church is joyful.
God will teach us to be people whose yes is steadfast. How does our yes become steadfast? By discovering that we are where we belong, by discovering that wherever we are is where God wants us to be. Sometimes, God has us go forward towards the right to then lead us towards the left; sometimes, when we’re on the left, we realize that we should have always been on the right. Through his love, God has us understand all this in order to show us that he's our God, to show us that he knows what is good for us. How can we discover all this if it weren't for the Holy Spirit who is enabling us to do so?
In our lives, how many times have we found ourselves among friends, and a few years later, had completely lost touch with them?
And through our life’s journey, there comes a time when we stop and think of our old friends, and without really planning to, we end up face to face with those friends, only to discover that our feelings are no longer the same.
In the beginning, when we were with our friends, there was a lot of sharing between us: we had things in common, we liked spending time together, our conversations were very, very elaborate. Then, there came a time in our lives when we went off in different directions, following paths that took us far from each other: each person followed his or her own path, each person met others, each person had conversations with other people. Ideas were exchanged and this caused us to change. Every person was receiving from others and every person was giving of himself to others. This stimulated the mind. To the person who was listening, the ideas he was hearing were interesting to him.
All this saw to it that the human being became autonomous. Yes, we were interested in those who were speaking with us, but only if it was useful to us in some way: “I'm interested in what you’re saying and this suits me just fine. I'm interested in what I'm hearing because everything inside me is interested in this.”
What was it that made our hearing prefer a certain movement over another, and that made our hearing want to go on being in that movement? It’s because the present moment was interesting to us: “It’s in my best interest to find happiness; it’s in my best interest to allow what is in me to emerge so that I can be part of that thing that interests me.” Therefore, what I was hearing and what I was saying were only for me. And so, without my realizing it, I built my own life.
In the very beginning, when I had friends, it was as though my mind and my hearing were inclined to share; I wanted to have friends, I wanted to share a part of myself and I wanted them to also share a part of themselves. I was less inclined to judge the words I was hearing because I was still in my youth, but over time, those words I was hearing and the words I was saying became a source of growth to me: I was learning. As I was learning to be an adult, I became interested in everything, but once I reached the age when I felt I had grown up, then everything became different. Then, those who were in front of me had to behave as I wanted them to behave because I had learned.
I had learned from others their thoughts concerning who I was; I had come out of myself in order to reveal myself to others. I was only able to do this if I had friends around me, but, over time, I had left those friends behind and with time, I grew up. I had grown up; I had seen, I had seen those around me and I was wary of those who were around me because those I saw didn’t resemble the friends I once had. Those I had known spoke with words from their hearts, and to me, this resonated in my own heart, and therefore, I would speak using words from my heart to reach out to them.
Those I was with now didn’t speak from their hearts and I could feel this in my heart. Therefore, it was as though my words were restrained; I held back from showing what was in my heart, and as a result, my relationships with those who were with me now were different from those of my youth. All this was teaching me not to be myself; all this was teaching me that others could affect me, could hurt me.
If who we are today is suffering, that’s because our heart is suffering: people no longer speak from the heart, people speak only with their minds, we’re afraid to reveal what is beautiful from within ourselves. By always holding back, we’ve become cold, we’ve become beings who don’t know how to give of themselves.
We see people who are quick to smile and we, we suffer on the inside because we lack that smile. We see people who are outgoing and we, we suffer because we too would like to be as outgoing as they are. We lack confidence in others because deep down, we say to ourselves: “She's smiling; is she sincere? She's talking; is she sincere?” All this is inside us – we’re wary of ourselves.
If we have such thoughts about a person who’s smiling, about a person who’s talking, that’s because there's suffering inside us, because what we experienced in the time that lapsed between the end of that friendship and the time when we told ourselves, “I have grown up,” has led me to discover where I belong in this world, in a world in which people no longer want to listen to God's children, in this world in which we don’t want others to take up too much room.
This world is a world void of love; this world is a world that manipulates; this world is a world that only has consideration for itself; this world has power and it is power that rules the spirit of this world.
Let’s take a look at ourselves – we’re all God's children! If we stopped for a moment to ask each other, “You, have you ever experienced this? And you, have you ever experienced this? To you, is this something that is part of who you are?” We would say, “Yes, that would be right.”
Because when we were young, it was easier to make friends and we believed it was possible to have friends. Today, we share ourselves with those around us warily. Today, if people listen to us, we don’t open up completely to them; we ask ourselves if they’re going to understand us, if they’re going to accept what we think. We’re like beings who discover who they are slowly, through suffering.
God wants us to understand that what we are, we are so through the spirit of this world and not through the love that is inside us. If we did discover what we are through the love we are internally, we would be much more forgiving towards ourselves: we would have learned to forgive ourselves, we would have learned to regard others with God's mercy. But we see others with the spirit of this world, and so, we don’t forgive easily: we suffer internally, we use words that are words that affect us.
When we utter words that bear disappointment, this goes against us: “I'm disappointed with life; I'm disappointed with what I'm seeing; I'm disappointed with that behaviour; I don’t know how to react; I don’t know what to do or say in such a situation.”
When we’re faced with these questions, with these thoughts, it’s that we are suffering. If we’re faced with suffering and if we live that suffering on the inside, we’re living that suffering on the inside because we haven't understood love: love gives, love doesn’t withhold, love always gives in order to give again. And so, this means that we have kept what has made us suffer, we haven't opened up our interior to God, and as we haven't opened up our interior to God, we keep within ourselves that which belongs to him.
God wants us to understand that we must give what is inside us and that prevents us from opening our hearts to those who are around us. Those who are around us are in us, they’re part of our flesh; we’re in them, we’re in their flesh.
If we don’t begin to discover the movement of love God wants us to carry out, our suffering flesh will continue to make us suffer and will continue to make them suffer. We love our father, we love our mother, we love our children, our grandchildren, we love our brothers and our sisters who are with us; we don’t want to make them suffer, and yet, that’s what we do.
God wants to make us realize that we must stop making ourselves suffer and making others suffer in their flesh.
When we had friends, we behaved with an open heart. When we grew older, we behaved with a heart that was closing itself off to their hearts. Consequently, they received nothing just as we received nothing. And yet, we have the same heart: whether we have the heart of a 3, 4, or 5 year-old child, or the heart of a 40, 50, 60, or 70 year-old, it’s still the same heart.
Let’s take a look at what we’re doing: right now, we’re talking amongst ourselves because we’re certain that those who are here speak the same language. Leave this place and go out to a restaurant, leave this place and just go to your church, you won't be speaking the same language – you will keep your heart in check. God is enabling us to understand that this is because of our sufferings: we have difficulty being forgiving towards our own flesh.
As long as we aren't in Christ’s image, we will suffer, and the only way is to give everything to Jesus, is to behave as Jesus behaved, is to trust in the Flesh to the point of being ridiculed out of love for Jesus, for Jesus.
Didn’t he say that all those who will allow themselves to be insulted in my Name would enter my Father's Kingdom? Entering the Kingdom of God the Father is possible when we so desire – we don’t have to wait until we die on earth! A body that is resting until its resurrection doesn’t care if it’s being ridiculed – it’s turned to dust! It’s right now, while we’re alive, that we must live the Gospel.
We won't be able to live the Gospel unless Jesus lives our life. Therefore, we’ll have to learn to give our heart, to give our heart to Jesus so that it can disappear. We have consecrated our life to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, therefore our life is in the hands of Mary so we can receive graces to go to the Heart of Jesus. Now, our heart must be placed in Mary's hands so she herself can bring it to the Heart of Jesus so it can disappear.
This involves all our senses; this involves all our thoughts, our eyes, our hearing, our words, our movements, our feelings.
To order our thoughts to go and die in the thoughts of Jesus and to no longer be active, to give our hearing to the hearing of God so that God's hearing might be active and no longer ours – well, this means: open your ears to me; all that you have heard does not belong to you; all that you hear must go through my hearing in order to be fully mine.
To be the eyes of Jesus, to take everything we have seen and everything we see, is to say: be the eyes of Jesus and turn away from whatever does not come from him.
Every word that is heard must be a word within the very Word of Jesus and must no longer stem from our will.
Asking the Will to silence the tongue, asking the Will of God to use our speech that we may be the Word of Christ and not be in words from the human will.
That all our movements may be Christ’s movements: to understand that we are nothing, to understand that God is everything, to understand only through the mind of God, only through the eyes of God, the ears of God, through the words of God that the movement is his, is to consent to no longer be, but to be fully in Jesus’ movements.
The heart of every one of us is in the Heart of Christ and all that passes through the Heart of Christ is felt within us.
To live in the purifying Blood of Christ is to discover peace, it’s to discover joy, it’s to be constantly in the movement of transformation: I take my fears and I give them to peace. It is peace that rules my life, it is no longer fear.
To be in the Heart of Jesus is to no longer be; it’s the Blood of Jesus that flows throughout our entire being. When our heart has died in Jesus, it no longer exists; the heartbeat we hear is the heartbeat of Jesus; the blood that flows in our veins is no longer our blood, it’s the Blood of Jesus. As long as we have not entered this movement of love, we won't fully take part in the transformation.
This morning, we heard about freedom. We have received it from God, and it’s through this freedom that we receive everything from God so we can be in the movement of purification, because the moment a thought comes from us and we realize it, that is God who is transforming us. He's appealing to the child of God to give the thought to the eternal Thought.
We don’t need to carry out that movement of constantly asking ourselves whether our thought is from God or not. That movement belongs to God; he's the one who looks after giving us what we need so that we’re able to realize this. Therefore, let’s leave to God what is God's, and let’s not be afraid. Everything will be done by God, for when the movement has begun, it will never again stop. It is no longer our mind, it is the mind of the Eternal One that is in us, it is the mind of the Purifier, it is the mind of Jesus. And then, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are in that movement of purification.
Now, God is enabling us to understand that his Will is a Will of love, and that we… our human will doesn’t bear the necessary graces; the human will bears no grace. Therefore, let’s not try, with our human will, to have a thought and to stop at that thought – this would only make us suffer and make those who are in us suffer.
We’re living in a time of graces, we’re living the time of the Great Purification: God comes to speak in our hearts.
Are we able to carry out this movement? Remember the words that God placed in the hearts of those who came before Jesus. He said, “I shall come to gather together my people from all around the world; I will speak to them in their interior, they will hear, I will transform their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh, and they will know that I am their only God.”
There's only God who will transform our interior in order to touch everything about us: thoughts, eyes, ears, words, actions and heart; all this is God's business. No human will carry out this movement, for God's children must recognize that there's only one God. If there were a single human will that possessed a tiny bit of power, there would still be children who believed in gods.
Adam and Eve wanted to gain knowledge; that knowledge was to know what God knew in order to be able to converse with him. Therefore, if a single human, with his tiny human will, knew a word that could touch our heart in order to transform it into a heart of flesh, then this would recreate the same movement: to be in God's knowledge with the 'self'.
So, this would be like saying that the wheel keeps turning: Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying, that is to say, they wanted to know through their 'self' that which belongs to God, because God had told them, “Do not go towards the knowledge of good and evil – knowledge – because misfortune will fall upon you.”
And so, this would be the same thing: “Don’t believe in the knowledge of only one human being, for great misfortune will fall upon you.” You will continue to live in your 'self' and you won't want to believe that there's only one God; you will believe that there's the Divine Will and the human will – one Divine Will that coexists with one human will, that are together, that think, that see, that listen, that speak, that act, that feel the same thing at the same time. This is why God says that there will be no movement that shall come from the human will.
What we’re hearing is from God, only from the Will of God. No human will possesses these words, no human will shall bear the flavour of these words, for God is the Purifier.
This is why he teaches us when we hear him; this is why he keeps his instrument in complete ignorance. She hears at the same time as she utters the words impelled by the wind of the Holy Spirit. Such is the Will of God, which blows upon you so that you might be in the movement of the Divine Will.
What we’re living is willed by the Divine Will and not by any human will. Let’s not be surprised that we are so few, for God sees the hearts of his children. As long as the hearts of his children are not like the heart of a child, they won't understand God's call.
God calls upon all his children but few hear. He reveals to the little what he hides from the great. What we are, we are so because of our yes and not because of us. It is Jesus’ yes that awakened our yes, and our yes allowed itself to be taken up by the movement of the Divine Will. What we’re learning are movements of love for all those we carry within us.
The purification is a movement from Jesus and he's carrying this out – he's doing it out of love for his Church, for his Being, his Eternal Flesh; the Son of God made Man is in love with what he is.
Everything came from his Father, from his Will; therefore, the Son loves his Father. He wants to purify us, he's slowly teaching us to say the words heard by the power of the Holy Spirit, by the will of God, and not by our will.
When you see that you have movements to give, this doesn’t come from you, this comes from the power of God.
Discover that in your lives there are movements that must be given to Jesus, to the Eternal Flesh: you are in the movement of the Divine Will.
We have entered the era of the Holy Spirit: a Spirit of love, a Spirit that shows us who we are so that we might give this to Jesus.
Inside us, there is healing and liberation. Yes, we want to be liberated of our arthritis; yes, we want to be liberated of our diabetes, but we will only be so once the children within us are healed and liberated. Those children are within us; they made choices before temptation, sin. This led them to such suffering that we developed illnesses. Therefore, God will heal and liberate his children so we can be healed of our illness: such is the Church.
Jesus wants to heal all his children; he calls his little children to come before him, and he teaches those children how to put all the others between him and themselves, so that his movement of purification can pass through every flesh in order to reach us. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for those we love.” This led him to the Cross.
And so, he's asking us to do the same thing: “Give me your life for those you love. There is no greater movement than this one, and therefore, I am teaching you to live it, I am teaching you to be with me on the Cross.” So, when we’re before Jesus and we have all the world’s children between us and Jesus, we’re on the Cross, we’re laying down our life for those we love.
You see, the little groups that hear the power of God place themselves before God, and before God and that little group are all the world’s children, and this is a source of joy to God, and it is a source of joy to us. We will have our movement of love go on until the very end – “Here I am” – this is what God is doing for us and for those we love.
There aren't two ways to live the purification; there's only one way – to live the Life of Jesus, from his birth to his death, is to live his love, his birth to his resurrection. Therefore, we’re going to live all these movements.
From Eve’s first thought to the thought of the last person to live the purification and who will be the last to say “your thoughts,” then, we’ll live that movement of purification, and it will be for all we have seen, all we have heard, all we have said, done and felt, and this won't depend on our human will.
We can watch current events and try to examine the times, but this won't make the purification move forward; this will simply place what is already there on ‘stand-by’, until the moment when we say, “My thoughts: enter the eternal Thought and allow yourself to be purified.” And then the movement will continue.
And so, it’s in our best interest to give the thoughts of the chosen ones as well. The more united we are in God's yes – as he desires and not as our will would want it to be – the more the purification will take place. Sometimes, we, due to our human will, we cause great suffering to our brothers and our sisters because we know. Yes, we know that we’re living in the end times and that these end times are very important to all those who are suffering, because those who suffer the most are those who reject God.
Who suffers the most? Those who don’t know God or those who know God but reject him? It’s those who know God and reject him. Now, who causes more suffering to our brothers and our sisters? Those who live their lives without knowing there's a time of purification or those who know that this is the time of the purification, but let their human will through? It’s those who let their human will through while knowing that this is the time which God has chosen to transform the children of the world.
Let’s not leave any room for Satan; he's the one who wants us to use our human will through our knowledge.
From the beginning, you have heard that when one is little, it’s easy to let our heart speak, to leave room for love; but when the child grows older and he believes he's all grown up, he closes his heart, and this, this is because of his knowledge.
Therefore, why is this any different for us, we who know that we’re in a time of graces? We have a heart that is open to Jesus and we also have knowledge that comes from Heaven, but despite this we use our human will and this makes our brothers and our sisters suffer.
Knowledge belongs to God, it doesn’t belong to us.
Let’s not harden the hearts of our brothers and our sisters with knowledge from Heaven, for when we try to run what comes from Heaven, human will is present. Consequently, there are no graces and others harden their hearts instead of opening them up, and we will have to answer for this.
And so, the Will of God is to have us understand that all comes from God, out of love for God.
Let’s do what we have to do without trying to point out what comes from Heaven, or we’ll become lost. Let’s allow the Spirit of God to do his work. It feels so good to let the Holy Spirit take up all the room: there's no exhaustion, we keep our peace, and others feel this because it flows from heart to heart.
Jesus is so loving; he enables us to understand that the Will of his Father is within each one of us.
We, the chosen ones, we must not raise ourselves up, right, when we say “we, the chosen ones.” Let’s shut our eyes and look at what is inside us. If we discover a tiny little child, hardly two years old, then we know that the Holy Spirit has taken up all the room. But if we shut our eyes and then, the mind, it begins to work on us, then we’ll know that we’ve become full of ourselves. Then, let’s open our eyes and let’s keep quiet, and let’s give our mind to the Eternal Mind so that it can come to purify our mind.
Afterwards, we will have to say thank you for all this because if we were able to shut our eyes, this came from the Holy Spirit and not from us. Let’s allow God to act and let’s make of ourselves tiny little children; we have much to bring to others through the power of God and not through our will.
Did you know that there are many people who have been in the movement of Holy Spirit? A father who comes running when he sees his child in danger, a mother who feeds her child when she sees him crying because he's hungry – those two did that by the power of the Holy Spirit. They didn’t need to think, they let their hearts speak.
All this is to show us that the Holy Spirit has always been in our lives, but because of the suffering in our flesh, we’ve seen nothing, we’ve understood nothing. But the Holy Spirit is opening us up to the light, to the light of the Son of God made Man, so that we can be part of his movement.
God the Father: Now, little children of love, be very attentive to what you will live, for, my children, the minutes that will follow these minutes will turn you into servants of God for the greater Glory of God, and this will be reflected upon you when you will see the light. In your flesh, you will feel the Glory of the Son, who will increase your light, so that you might feel your glory because I, God the Father, will it so.
Go and rest, little children of love. Amen.

J’Leon Love stops Vladine Biosse in 10, Badou Jack suffers first-round TKO
VERONA, N.Y. — On a night that was otherwise unimpressive from The Money Team stable, J’Leon Love showed he probably is the best of the bunch.
Love (17-0, 10 knockouts) stopped Vladine Biosse in the 10th round of a physical, but mostly one-sided bout in the main event of Friday’s ShoBox offering from the Turning Stone Casino.
It was a bloody affair, thanks to a gash over Biosse’s right eye opened in the third round, and one over Love’s left eye the very next round. In terms of physical damage otherwise, it was all Love’s doing. The Detroit native pushed around a natural super middleweight in just his second real outing at the weight.
Apart from the head clash that caused the abrasion above his eye, Love was never bothered by the southpaw matchup, keeping Biosse (15-2-2, 7 KOs) with his back on the ropes for the majority of the night.
In what is an early candidate for Upset Of The Year, Derek Edwards stopped Badou Jack at 1:01 of the first round.
The fight was penciled in my ringside observers as a gimme 10-round decision for Jack, who was on a path to face James DeGale in a WBC super middleweight title eliminator. Scouting reports suggested Edwards would fade as the fight went on, and Jack’s unusually active jab would grind him down.
However, it never got that far. And Edwards’ power, which he displayed in hurting Matt Korobov badly in his last outing, was clearly understated.
"You put as much in the gym work as a so-called marquee top fighter does, and guys overlook you," said Edwards. "That motivates me to think that a man that breathes just like I do is overall better than me. You've gotta prove that to me."
Edwards (27-3-1, 14 KOs) caught Jack with a hard counter right hand, flush on the chin, sending him wobbling to the canvas. “The Ripper” was clearly out on his feet, and one more flurry caused him to land face first on the mat before referee Charlie Fitch wisely waved it off.
It was nearly a disastrous start for The Money Team on the telecast too, as Chris Pearson survived a hard-charging Lanardo Tyner, overcoming a knockdown to take a split decision.
Since his days in the World Series of Boxing, Pearson has been able to feast on weak opposition. That might have been the intention again tonight, as Tyner was brought in on one week’s notice and fighting at a contracted weight 20 pounds above what is ideal for him. Tyner told RingTV.com that he weighed 152 on the scales but that the commission simply listed him at 154 anyway.
Pearson (11-0, 9 KOs), who is a legitimate middleweight and weighed as such, was never able to take advantage of the assumed power advantage that came with the size differential. His shining moments came as a result of length and height, when he let maintained distance and jabbed actively.
Tyner, 38, Detroit, MI., showed signs that he could get to Pearson early, tagging him with a good lead right hand at the end of Round 2, and followed it up with a quick uppercut on the inside.
In the 6th, two overhand rights, and a big sweeping left hook landed before a barrage sent Pearson to the mat at the end of the frame. Tyner would nail Pearson with a big let hook once again in the final round, but he managed to take it well, smack his gloves and stand toe to toe.
Though he didn’t get the win, Tyner (38-9-2, 20 KOs) did earn himself a personal invitation to Floyd Mayweather’s training camp for his upcoming bout against Marcos Maidana immediately after the fight.
For Pearson, the struggles on this night aren’t necessarily an “exposure,” per-se. Though it was expected to be a physical mismatch, it was also the first live body he’s encountered as a professional, and it just so happened to be one of the livest of journeymen in the sport.
On the off-TV undercard, super middleweight prospect Luis Arias was given all he could handle by rugged journeyman Dashon Johnson. Scores were 77-75 twice and 76-76 even.
Arias, the two-time US national amateur champion was certainly the more polished and accurate puncher at times, but the eye test also suggested he was getting outworked. On numerous occasions, Johnson rattled Arias with chopping right hands, most notably at the end of round 6.
Johnson has been making a habit of exceeding expectations and surprising fighters favored over him. He took a six-round decision over former contender Craig McEwan last December, and very nearly stopped Golden Boy prospect Dominic Wade on the Lamont Peterson-Dierry Jean undercard in January.
Arias improves to 9-0 (4 KOs) despite the scare, and figures to continue being featured on Money Team cards prominently in the future.

New York has an almost unbelievable number of world-class restaurants, but where the city's food scene really shines is it's tiny, unassuming hole in the wall spots.
If you go beyond the Eleven Madison Parks and Katz's of the world, you'll find truly unique places that have been serving affordable, delicious food for decades. There are literally thousands of these places in the city, but these are some of my favorites.
Gaia Italian Cafè
Gaia is a tiny Italian restaurant that's open for lunch every day but dinner only on Saturdays. Reservations are mandatory and hard to come by. Check the website for the hours during which you have to call to make a reservation, as well as the rules of the restaurant (yes, there are rules, and they are important). Don't forget to BYOB.
Ktown has plenty of great expensive places to eat, but at Woorijip you can get a huge Korean feast and your own personal bottle of soju for less than $30. It's basically like a cafeteria, but with some seating in the middle. A great place to eat before heading to the nearby karaoke bars.
Soba noodle shop
If you've never had soba before, you must go to Cocoron and get the mera mera dip soba. Few things are as comforting on a cold NYC night.
For my money, the best pho in lower Manhattan.
Shu Jiao Fu Zhou
Skip Vanessa's and come here instead. A plate of pork dumplings and some peanut noodles will set you back less than $5.
Sunny & Annie's Deli
If I had to guess, I'd say there are more bodegas in NYC than people. But if you're after an awesome lunch (instead of a more shopping-focused bodega run for batteries, ice cream, and hot sauce) then Sunny and Annie's is the best in the city -- primarily for their super creative sandwich combos.
Tiny, usually a wait, and with sometimes surly servers (I once got kicked out for asking that they bring me a dish that I ordered and paid for but never received), but worth it for the food. The big plate chicken and the pork pancake are two of the best Chinese dishes in the city. BYOB, but if you do, they strictly enforce a $12 food minimum per person, which should give you a sense of how inexpensive this place is.
Popular at all hours of the day and night for soups, burgers, sandwiches, and in particular, pierogis. Open 24 hours.
The best falafel in Manhattan, alongside homemade pita, hummus, and salads.
Take-out spot for huge plates of impossibly cheap vegetarian Indian food.
LOS TACOS No. 1
Pretty well known at this point, but they are still the best tacos in the city. Freshly pressed corn and flour tortillas, delicious fillings, and all sorts of salsas. Make sure you try a queso taco if you love cheese. Best consumed immediately while hunched over a high top table with strangers.
Yes it's a (small) chain, but it's a great standby for creative middle eastern sandwiches and veggie sides.
Mediterranean fast casual assembly line lunch spots are a dime a dozen in NYC, but this one is the best. Their huge bowls of shawarma, kebabs, and veggies are great for a cheap, fast, healthy, and filling lunch.
Brooklyn and Queens
When I lived around the corner from Mally's I would go at least twice a week. A true hole in the wall, this tiny taqueria/bodega is usually manned by just one woman, who presses fresh tortillas to order. Without a doubt the best tacos in Bushwick. Get the milanesa cemita and thank me later.
Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe
Another sandwich institution, this time Italian, and in Brooklyn. No better way to overcome a Saturday morning hangover than by consuming a face-sized sandwich filled with meats and cheeses.
Roberta's Pizza & Bakery
Ok this is no longer a hole in the wall, but it's worth mentioning for this pro tip: order your pizza online, for pickup, well in advance, breeze past the huge line, grab your pizza, take it to the beautiful back garden.
Delicious Salvadorean food in Williamsburg, if you're looking for a change of pace.
King of Falafel & Shawarma
Middle Eastern restaurant
The best falafel in Queens. More options than Taim, including fantastic Shawarma and baked goods.
My go-to middle eastern spot when I lived in Williamsburg. Huge plates of chicken and veggies, and awesome sauces and sides.
Middle Eastern restaurant
Can you tell I ate a ton of middle eastern food when I lived around here? Make sure you get a few of the salads, which change week-to-week but are always amazing.
Tortilleria Mexicanas Los Hermanos
Primarily a tortilla factory, but they have a small dining room where they serve very good tacos. BYOB. Great spot to hang out for a few hours and try every taco on the menu.
Havana Outpost was once described to me as Fort Greene's backyard, and I think that's pretty appropriate. Great Cuban food and drinks with an even better patio, where they sometimes show movies at night.
Middle Eastern restaurant
Huge plates of shawarma, falafel and hummus, but the primary attraction is the phenomenal fresh baked pita. Grab one (or 4) and some hummus and take it to their back patio.

Patrol: 93 Crashes, 112 Spin-Outs As Snowstorm Moves Out Of MinnesotaThere 93 crashes, 112 spin-outs and three jackknifed semis on Minnesota roads Tuesday morning as a snowstorm lingered over the state after dropping more than a foot of snow in some areas.
Snow Tapers Off After Winter Storm Dumps Over 9 Inches On SW Minn.Ready or not, winter is finally here in Minnesota. Snow fell throughout the night across the state, bringing impressive totals in the southwest. WCCO Weather Watchers reported 9.5 inches in Spring Grove and 8.2 in Alpha by Tuesday morning.
Patrol: Nearly 200 Crashes As Storm Moves OutAs the season's first snow storm moved out of the state, there were almost 200 crashes on Minnesota roads. Lt. Eric Roeske of the State Patrol said that of Tuesday evening there were 172 crashes and 140 spin-outs, which injured 30 people and killed two.
Light Sunday Snow Causes Crashes, Spin OutsAnother bitterly cold day across much of the state. In northern Minnesota, overnight lows fell as low as 35 below zero. And winter weather advisories are out for a large part of southern Minnesota from Worthington in the southwest to the Twin Cities area.
Tires Really Matter When It Comes To Winter DrivingThis weekend's snow was a rude awakening for many drivers. And lots of people will find themselves in body shops in the coming days.

Hi! My name is Shakira and I’m part of the 90s songs and singers transport!
I’m coming all the way from sweet Alabama! I’m guessed to be a retriever mix and weight About 40 lbs. I’m only about a year and a half old
Here’s the story about me:
I was found in a very rural shelter in AL. I broke with distemper, a horrible disease that can be fatal for dogs. Luckily I had no symptoms and was treated right away. However, I was pregnant st the time. I went into premature labor and all of my babies died :-( wonderful people in AL came and pulled me, treated me for distemper and OPH brought me north.
I can no longer get distemper. I am also not contagious! I am heartworm positive so I will need to undergo treatment before I can be adopted. I’ve been through so much in my short life. I’m looking for a family who will love me and make me part of their family. Is that with you? If so apply today!
This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Introduction: A Linear Laser Brush for Painting With Light
If you love photography and experimenting with special effects you will be happy to know that with a very simple circuit and a cheap laser you can easily build a sort of laser "scanner" to take impressive photos and portrait.
My project was born from a more complex automated laser scanner idea, and I decided to build this cool gadget so that you can give vent to your creativity.
Step 1: Laser and Instructions
This is a very common laser but its head projects a line, not a dot. You can easily find a red laser line on ebay.
I thought that if I was able to generate a pulse on that laser and I could set the frequency at my choice, the persistence of vision of photographic techniques should let me create many beautiful effects. Just turn flashing on and move your laser beam during the long exposure of the photo.
Step 2: The Pulse Circuit
You will notice that changing the values of components (on the falstad window right click on components and choose "edit") the frequency and duty cycle change.
Step 3: The Full Schematic
Now I only need to add the power source for the laser diode, a switch and some capacitors as circuit protection.
I know that laser consumes 5 mW and it requires +5V DC, so as power source I used a 78L05 voltage regulator (which provides 5V at 100 mA max). The NE555 controls the laser through the PNP transistor (you can use 2N3906, PN2907, BC556, BC557, BC559, 2N2907...), which also is needed to reverse the output signal, so that the short pulse of the wavelength stays up.
Step 4: The Pcb
In the attached pdf you will find a board schematic ready for toner transfer method (top view). Look at my other instructables if you wish to learn how to etch your own pcb.
Step 5: The Prototype
Building a prototype was in this case essential, because I wanted to experiment different frequencies and take some test picture.
So I inserted all the components on a little breadboard and I connected a battery pack, composed by 4 rechargeable 1.2V AA batteries. Actually this could be a bit weak, because the resulting 4.8V is less than 6V required, anyway it works well. I still have to test it with 4 alkaline 1.5V batteries.
Step 6: Test Pictures
Finally I could take some test photos. To obtain the best result turn off any other light source so that it's almost completely dark, then set your camera to 800 ISO and full aperture width, choose the best shutter time depending on what you want to "paint" and... that's it!
As you can see the only limit now is your imagination ;-) I still have to try to shoot some portraits.

North Shore Triathlon May 23, 2011
Good to have decent weather for this event. It can be quite a logistical challenge to put on a race with a pool swim. However, there did seem to be too many problems with laps, timing and signage. I have written to the Race Director, so hope it will be better in the future. There also seems to be a problem with the results in the women 50-54, as the first woman seems to have missed a lap, so Bronwyn should really be the winner of that AG. Despite these issues, LE members did fantastic. However, Rob J beer is still unclaimed.

Pennsylvania Local Sales Tax Calculations
To our understanding, Pennsylvania is an origin-based sales tax state. This means that if you have a physical location in Pennsylvania, sales tax should be collected based on where you, the seller, are located.
The state tax rate for Pennsylvania is 6%, and there are only two locations in Pennsylvania that have an additional local tax rate: Allegheny County and Philadelphia.
- The local sales tax is imposed at the point of sale.
- A sale of property or a service delivered to a location within in PA is deemed to occur at the place of business of the retailer.
- If this address is not in Alleghany County or Philadelphia the local sales tax is not collected.
- If the order's Ship To address is in Alleghany County or Philadelphia, the purchaser would pay use tax. The seller can choose to collect the local use tax. However, TaxJar calculations do not support this.
- This means that the local tax rate will only apply if you have an Allegheny County or Philadelphia address listed in your Business Profile or State Nexus Settings and the order has a Ship To address in Pennsylvania.
Please note, if you do not have a physical location in Pennsylvania, you would only collect the state sales tax rate of 6% on all orders shipped to Pennsylvania.
Why does your Sales Tax Calculator show this local 1% sales tax for all Pennsylvania addresses?
- We show this 1% in our free calculator tool so that sellers who have sales that are eligible for this added local tax are aware it exists.
- Please note that the Sales Tax Calculator does not support nexus determination, sourcing, product tax-exemptions (or, product-specific reduced rates), or sales tax holidays.
- If you need any of the above factors considered in your sales tax rates, we'd recommend using the SmartCalcs API.
- If you are an out of state seller, then our API calculates accurately based on your Pennsylvania State Settings.

What springs to mind when you hear the words ‘green homes’? Does it conjure up images of solar panels on the roof, a large rainwater harvesting tank in the garden and double-glazed windows? You’re not wrong, but that’s only half the picture.
Sustainable living is so much more than just reducing your reliance on the grid for your energy needs. It’s really a lifestyle that embraces the philosophy of living in a way that reduces your impact on the environment. And this extends to the inside of your home too. Even if you aren’t in a position to install alternative technologies for running your home, there are other ways to go green.
Often considered the heart of the home, your kitchen is the perfect place to start adopting green habits:
- Cooking with gas: If you’re in the market for a new stove, you might want to think about investing in a gas cooker. LPG or Liquid Petroleum gas is an affordable, energy-efficient method of cooking that has become more popular. You’ll save time and money with a gas cooker because it heats up instantly.
- Bamboo counters: Remodelling your kitchen? Look at sustainable materials for your countertops. Bamboo is a good example because it grows so quickly and doesn’t need much water.
- Energy-efficient appliances: Check the energy star rating when you need to buy a new fridge, microwave oven, washing machine or dishwasher. Because these are the tools you use every day, it makes sense to make sure they’re energy efficiently.
- Make a full load: This advice applies to your dishwasher and your washing machine. Don’t waste time and energy washing a few items at a time. Rather wait until you have a full load of dishes or clothing and then hit the switch.
- Go with the flow: A low-flow aerator that is. Attached to your kitchen tap, this inexpensive little gadget can save you gallons of water.
- Waste not, want not: You’d be surprised just how much waste a kitchen generates. From plastic and cardboard packaging to food scraps, almost everything can be recycled. It just takes a little organisation. So set up different bins for each type of waste and get into the habit of separating your trash.
You don’t have to implement all of these tips in one go. Just start slowly and you’ll find that even the little changes will make a big impact.
Aside from installing a solar water heater for your ablutions, you’d be amazed at the clever (and inexpensive) things you can do to make your bathroom an eco-friendly place.
- The number one tip is to install a low-flow shower head. It can reduce your water consumption by up to 30%. And you’ll still get clean.
- It also pays to watch the clock while you’re in the shower. Perhaps this isn’t the easiest advice to follow, but for large families, a little discipline can go a long way to saving on your water bill. Besides, five minutes is really all the time you need to get squeaky clean.
- Solar water heaters can be pricey so opt for the next best thing—insulating your geyser with a blanket. Proper insulation enables your geyser to retain heat better and this means big savings on your power consumption.
- And speaking of geysers, why don’t you try turning the temperature on the thermostat down while you’re installing the geyser blanket? You won’t notice the difference, and it’ll prolong the life of your geyser.
- Putting a brick in your toilet tank sounds like an odd thing to do, but it’s one of the most popular ways to save water in your bathroom. But be careful as bricks may disintegrate over time and damage the toilets flushing mechanism. Try filling up a plastic bottle with sand and water instead.
- Reusing the water from your bath to water your plants is a great way to ensure that not a drop is wasted. Just be sure to use eco-friendly soap, shampoo or bubble bath to limit the amount of toxins you put into the soil.
- It goes without saying that you should check for any leaking taps and fix them.
For such a small space, bathrooms can use a surprising amount of electricity and water. And these are the two resources where going green really counts. You don’t have to completely remodel your bathroom to go green. Just use your common sense and put the environment first.
The Living Room
You might not think that there are many things you can do to make your living room a haven of eco-friendliness. But here are some ideas that you’ll find cheap and simple to implement:
- Reclaim the sofa: This doesn’t mean you get to kick your spouse out of the most comfortable seat in the house. It means browsing the second-hand furniture shops for a bargain and using a bit of elbow grease to turn it into a one-of-a-kind original. You’d be surprised what you might find and it’ll give the chance to put your own stamp on it.
- Play a game of drafts: Check the spaces around your doors and windows for any air leaks. Then patch them up with silicone caulk or insulation strips. A well-insulated home is warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
- Unplug and unwind: How many electronics do you have in your living room? A TV, PVR and DVD player? What about your music system or laptop? Well if you’re not using them, get into the habit of switching them off at the plug. Even on standby mode, these gadgets can drain power.
- Go natural: When it comes to flooring, most carpets (with the exception of wool) are made from petroleum and treated with chemicals. So opt for natural flooring such as timber or even bamboo. You can always add a stylish pure wool rug to add a cosy feel in the colder months.
If you use your imagination you’ll find plenty of ways to add a green touch to your living areas. And when you decide to do some redecorating, keep your eye out for natural, eco-friendly paints and fabrics. Green can be trendy too.
You can use many of the green tips suggested for your living room in your bedroom too. Reclaiming small tables and transforming them into nightstands, switching off an electronic devices at the plug (except for your alarm clock, of course) and ensuring that the space is properly insulated all apply. But here are some extra ideas for you to try out:
- Cotton bedding: Organic cotton, bamboo, wool and other natural textiles are comfortable and eco-friendly. Skip the polyester pillows and treat yourself to buckwheat pillow instead. You’ll sleep like baby!
- Ditch the air-conditioner: Opt for a ceiling fan instead and open your windows slightly in the hot summer months. Air-conditioners consume a lot of electricity and there are better ways to cool your bedroom down.
- Choose non-VOC paint: Traditional paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These are harmful chemicals that leak into the air and may irritate the skin and mucus membranes. Thankfully there are eco-friendly alternatives available. This is a perfect example of how going green is good for people and the environment.
- Keep warm the old-fashioned way in winter by using a hot water bottle rather than an electric blanket. Although an electric blanket can be energy efficient, this only works if you can resist the temptation not to switch it off after you get into a bed. A hot water bottle on the other hand, will keep you warm into the night without drawing power.
Make your bedroom an eco-friendly space and you’ll sleep even better in the knowledge that you’re doing your bit to save the planet.
Then there are the little things that you can do for every room in the home to reduce you’re your impact on the planet such as:
- Switching from regular, incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and Light-emitting diode bulbs (LEDs). They use much less energy (up to 75% less) and they last longer too.
- Let ‘reduce, reuse, and recycle’ become your new mantra. Look for ways to cut down on the waste, find a new purpose for an old item and recycle paper, plastic, glass and tin whenever you can.
- When it comes to redecorating or remodeling areas of your home, look for organic products that are free of toxins. They’re not just better for the environment, they’re better for the health of your family too.
- Switch to organic cleaning products to keep your home looking at its best. They are slightly more expensive but often they work better so you don’t need to use as much. Or better still, try making your own. You’d be surprised how far you can get with simple things like baking soda and lemon juice.
- The same goes for your personal products. Soaps, creams and make-ups are available in eco-friendly alternatives. And they can be gentler on sensitive skins.
- Start a composting pile and grow your own vegetables. Remember those table scraps? Well this is the perfect way to put them to good use. And you can cut down on your grocery bill at the same time.
- Support local businesses, especially those that offer eco-friendly alternatives. Buying local is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
Of course the ultimate green home incorporates features that enable you to live almost entirely off the grid. Retrofitting an existing home with these features is possible, can be difficult and more expensive. It is possible to buy a new home that has all the eco bells and whistles you could possibly want.
Green home builders should specialize in photo-voltaic solar panels, underground rainwater harvesting tanks and a hydronics radiant heating and cooling system. Also insulation and use of natural materials to create a truly green home is of utmost importance.
Going green is really about changing the way you think. Once you become aware of how much waste a home can generate, it gets easier to find ways to avoid contributing to the problem. For example, taking your own bags to the grocery and car-pooling to work. And you’ll find that adopting green habits helps you cut down on your monthly expenses.
So if you haven’t already started, use this guide to help you turn your home into a green haven. You’ll feel better and you’ll have more money at the end of every month. That means you’ll be able to start saving towards something bigger such as a solar water heater or photo-voltaic solar panels that will help you save even more. Any home can be a green home, you just have use your imagination.

Ireland is set to play a small part in the historic SpaceX rescheduled launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday afternoon.
The Irish Coast Guard is on standby to respond to any issues that occur within its region of search and rescue when the Crew Dragon spacecraft passes over Ireland on Saturday night.
Billionaire Elon Musk's private rocket company planned to launch the rocket from the space center on Wednesday but postponed the launch due to unfavorable weather conditions.
The 24-story spacecraft is now set to launch at 3:22 p.m. EST on Saturday afternoon when it will begin a 19-hour journey to the International Space Station. The Crew Dragon will launch from the same launch pad as the historic Apollo 11 mission.
We are ready for liftoff! Tune in today starting at 11 a.m. ET to watch live coverage of the launch that will return human spaceflight to U.S. soil for the first time since 2011. 🚀🇺🇸 #LaunchAmericaMay 30, 2020
Astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken will be onboard the spacecraft, which marks the first spaceflight of NASA astronauts from US soil in nine years.
This will also mark the first time in history that a private aerospace company carries humans into space.
However, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted that there is a 50% chance of cancellation again since it is hurricane season in Florida. SpaceX has requested June 2 as a provisional backup date in case the mission is postponed again.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket could be visible over Ireland if skies remain clear on Saturday night and is expected to pass over the country around 20 minutes after the launch.
NASA says that Ireland is one of the potential crash landing locations for the rocket if it is forced to abort its mission.
"Once liftoff occurs, the abort landing locations change with every passing second of flight, ultimately resulting in Crew Dragon requiring a potential landing off the western coast of Ireland."
At 21:30 the first launch of humans aboard a commercial spacecraft to the ISS will take place & the Irish Coast Guard is playing a very small part.May 27, 2020
The astronauts could splash down around 40 miles off Skellig Michael in the Atlantic Ocean if the mission fails.
Astronomy Ireland is predicting that the spacecraft will be visible under the moon at 8:42 p.m. Irish time tonight.
8:42pm(in daylight!) CREW DRAGON passes near the Moon just 20 minutes after liftoff! Use binoculars.— Astronomy Ireland (@AstronomyIRL) May 30, 2020

A linear flow resistance model (LFRM) of multi-governing valve system performance was built using computational fluid dynamics to determine the distribution of flow rate through all parallel-placed steam valves at different opening ratios. A four-valve configuration connected to a water-feed pump turbine was systematically separated into three sections: valve chambers, diffuser passages and governing stages. The steam flow through each individual section was computationally modeled, and revealed that pressure drops were dependent on the flow rate. A numerical simulation strategy based on shear stress transport (SST) turbulence modeling was validated by the experimental measurements from a single valve test rig, which showed favorable agreement with the measured pressure drop at different flow rates. Subsequently, an LFRM was built to consider the geometric topology. Here, the pressure drop’s dependency on the flow rate along each section in an individual valve passage was regarded as a transfer function module. A performance map of the multi-governing valve system was obtained to predict the flow rate distribution under the opening conditions of different valves. Finally, the three-dimensional steam flow of the full multi-governing-valve system was numerically simulated to obtain the steam flow rate through different valves, and found to be in good agreement with the prediction gained using the LFRM. The proposed model can potentially be used in planning operation control strategies.

Project Rio Blanco was an underground nuclear test that took place on May 17, 1973 in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, approximately 36 miles (58 km) northwest of Rifle.
Three 33-kiloton nuclear devices were detonated nearly simultaneously in a single emplacement well at depths of 1,779, 1,899 and 2,039 m below ground level. The tests were conducted in fine-grain, low-permeability sandstone lenses at the base of the Fort Union Formation and the upper portion of the Mesaverde Formation.
This was the third and final natural-gas-reservoir stimulation test in the Plowshare program, which was designed to develop peaceful uses for nuclear energy. The two previous tests were Project Gasbuggy in New Mexico and Project Rulison in Colorado.
The United States Atomic Energy Commission conducted the test in partnership with CER Geonuclear Corporation and Continental Oil Company.
A placard, erected in 1976, now marks the site where the test was conducted. The site is accessible via a dirt road, Rio Blanco County Route 29.

Taking their battle to a new stage, opponents of an expanded O'Hare International Airport announced Monday they have formed a coalition that would use private dollars and developers to build an airport near south suburban Peotone.
While saying it is not an effort to quell Chicago's plans to enlarge O'Hare, the group calling itself the South Suburban Airport Coalition was established by leaders of west and northwest suburbs--including Bensenville and Elk Grove Village--opposed to the expansion.
The move comes as the city tries to buy homes and businesses in those two communities to double air capacity at O'Hare while opponents fight those efforts politically and in the courtroom.
The suburban leaders announced they are willing to pitch in at least $3 million in public funds to develop the project with two firms experienced in airport construction.
But the proposal left unanswered many questions regarding financing. In addition, the group already was facing resistance from key quarters, including the state, which is buying the property where the airport would be built and would have to sign off on any agreement.
Noting that the suburbs starting this coalition are also members of the Suburban O'Hare Commission, which opposes the state-supported plans to expand O'Hare, Illinois Transportation Department Secretary Kirk Brown said he has reservations the state would ever reach an agreement with the new group.
"We wouldn't regard the SOC members as suitable partners," Brown said. "We can't have partners in this project who are opposed to the state's overall aviation plan."
Project supporters, who hope a south suburban airport would make expansion of O'Hare unnecessary, remained undeterred. They said they are bolstered by the backing of the two large private developers, New York-based real estate company LCOR, the main contractor on a terminal project at JFK International Airport, and German airport development firm Hochtief, which recently built the airport in Athens.
According to the group's plan, the coalition would build a one-runway airport with a single terminal for $300 million to $500 million, not including land acquisition costs. Officials said Monday construction would begin in two years and be completed in five but that the airport could be expanded as demand grows.
The airport would be built on 4,200 acres the state is in the process of buying for about $75 million.
Steve Steckler, president of Infrastructure Management Group, which was hired as a consultant to help put the coalition together, said in the next six months LCOR and Hochtief will develop a detailed airport plan while suburban leaders line up political support. Steckler, who is working for the three suburbs that are the only official members of the new coalition--Bensenville, Elk Grove Village and Park Ridge--said other governments are expected to join the group.
Steckler said it was too early to say how much the private firms will spend but that they have agreed to jointly fund with the participating communities the $5 million in initial phase work. No more than $3 million in public funds will be spent on that phase, he said.
The coalition also will secure construction financing, possibly through issuing bonds. In order to make those bonds tax-exempt, he said, the group may form a new airport authority, which would require legislative approval.
But Brown said the project would require the approval of the governor and the General Assembly.
Illinois officials also said any agreement to privatize the airport would have to go out to bid and could not automatically go to LCOR or Hochtief.
But possibly the biggest problem is that no airline carrier has agreed to operate at the new airport. While Steckler said he believes airlines will agree to use Peotone once the airport seems to be more of a reality, aviation consultant Richard Golaszewski said moving without an airline is risky.
"It's an extremely speculative gamble without a carrier," said Golaszewski, a consultant to airlines and the FAA.
