We here from a man who was born in 1932 about what life was like in 1930s and 1940s America.  

The Selbyville Swamp Monster is a creature resembling Bigfoot that stalks the Great Cypress Swamp of Maryland and Delaware. The swamps here have a long, dark history of mysterious creatures, bootlegging, and slavery, and even the infamous hoax by Fred Stevens. Inspired by our recent Mammoth March hike, I looked into local Maryland and Delaware legends and found some truly spooky Bigfoot stories from the region. Two men see the dark figure of sasquatch on the side of the road while driving home one night, a woman on her way home from vacation sees a Bigfoot standing amongst the corn stalks in a cornfield, a student driving home from school one night sees Bigfoot standing by a telephone poll and sketches its face, a father and son spot two creatures crossing the road late one night, and two friends see a strange sasquatch with red eyes running across the road on all fours.

Luang Por Pasanno gave this Dhamma talk on 11 May 2025, the Vesakha Puja Day, at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery, UK. The post Buddhānussati – Recollection of the Buddha appeared first on Amaravati Buddhist Monastery.

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and no two men are more qualified to talk about than a therapy-obsessed Jew and an emotionally constipated Gen Xer. This discussion also includes some talk of grandfathers who fought in WWII.

Ajahn Dhammasiha leads a guided Buddhist meditation on the subject of Buddhānussati, recollection of the Buddha and his unique qualities. Ajahn suggests to use his favourite Buddha-mantra, silently repeating: "Bhagavā, Araham, Buddho - Buddho Araham Bhagavā" Ajahn explains that it's not about the words that we're repeating, but that it's really about the emotion of faith / confidence / devotion / conviction that the words are meant to generate in our mind. This emotion is wholesome and uplifting, and connected with a very pleasant feeling. As the emotion of faith/confidence in the Buddha grows, the pleasant feeling gets stronger, developing into rapture and bliss. The expereince of rapture and bliss allows our mind to let go of the external senses und to unify internally in samādhi. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠#meditation #buddhismeditation #guidedmeditation #samadhi #concentration #buddha #buddhanussati

Pat Leahy and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· Nama chief executive Brendan McDonagh almost became housing ‘tsar' until Fine Gael blocked his appointment this week. It seems communication between the two main parties was not at its strongest when it came to Fianna Fáil's push to have McDonagh head up the new Housing Activation Office.· Both the Government of the 34th Dáil and Donald Trump reach the milestone of 100 days this week, although it feels like night and day in terms of activity with the Government's executive functions here barely getting off the ground. · But nobody could accuse Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan of inactivity as he has taken that portfolio and ran with it.

Larry Ostola speaks with Nick Etheridge and Phil Calvert about their book, Supervising a Peace that Never Was: Recollections of Canadian Diplomatic Personnel in Indochina, 1954–1973. Supervising a Peace that Never Was: Recollections of Canadian Diplomatic Personnel in Indochina, 1954–1973 is a collection of essays written by former Canadian diplomats who served on international commissions in Indochina. These individuals were initially deployed to oversee the implementation of the 1954 Geneva Accords (through the International Commission for Supervision and Control, or ICSC) and later, in 1973, to monitor compliance with the Paris Peace Agreement (under the International Commission of Control and Supervision, or ICCS). Over the course of two decades, young Canadians were posted to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos—regions in which Canada had previously played a minimal role. The chapters that follow reflect their personal memories and experiences during these diplomatic missions. Read the full book here: https://www.uvic.ca/research/centres/capi/assets/docs/books/supervising-a-peace-that-never-was.pdf Nick Etheridge joined External Affairs in 1967 and held postings in Australia, Vietnam, and Europe, including roles in the CSCE. He served as Canada's representative in Cambodia (1993), Chargé d'Affaires in the Baltic States (1993–95), and High Commissioner to Bangladesh (1996–99). He retired in 2002 as Director of the Defence Relations Division. Phil Calvert joined the Department of External Affairs in 1982 and served in Beijing during three postings. He held key roles in trade negotiations, including as Deputy Chief Negotiator for China's WTO accession, and was Ambassador to Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos from 2011 to 2016. He retired in 2016.

Key TakeawaysTrust but Verify: Always cross-check claims before accepting them as truth, especially when it comes to controversial or political topics.Personal Accountability in Relationships: Both parties in a relationship must take responsibility for decisions around family planning.Impact of Misinformation: Believing in unchecked narratives can lead to societal divisions and personal misunderstandings.Understanding Media Misrepresentation: How Misinformation Shapes PerceptionThe influence of media on public perception is a potent force, often bridging or widening the subconscious gulfs within society. Episode discussions from "The Nightly Rant" highlight vivid examples of misinformation and public gullibility that exacerbate societal fear and prejudice. One glaring instance is the pervasive and unchecked fear surrounding international dynamics, particularly concerning Russia.Torya astutely notes, "Americans fear of Russia is hilarious to me as a non-American," pointing to a universal but exaggerated global narrative. This sentiment is echoed by Mike, who remarks, “Every country in the world is afraid of Russia.” This mindset, steeped in Cold War rhetoric, resurfaces frequently without much critical scrutiny from the public. Yet, this very fear persists, as evidenced by trends in media narratives which emphasize, often erroneously, the overwhelming threat posed by foreign powers.The impact is clear. Public discourse becomes clouded by misunderstandings, with people rarely questioning the veracity of what they hear. Instead, they quickly internalize these distortions, fueling unnecessary animosity and misplaced fear. Educational efforts and constructive dialogue are paramount to reverse these deeply embedded societal misconceptions.Navigating Relationship Dynamics: Consent and Deception in Family PlanningTransitioning from national narratives to intimate dilemmas, the transcript also navigates the murky waters of personal relationships, exemplified in the critical examination of family planning dynamics. The scenario discussed revolves around a husband and wife at odds over expanding their family, triggering profound ethical questions about consent and trust.As Torya outlines the conflict, "My wife wanted a third child, but I did not. We had agreed on having two," we delve into the complexities of autonomy and betrayal that result from deception. The wife's concealment of her discontinuation of birth control underlines the lack of consensus in pivotal life decisions, emphasizing trust's role in relationship dynamics. According to Mike, "Purposely knowing that your husband doesn't want another child and planning to do what you did, that's pretty assholeish."Such actions strike at the core of mutual respect within relationships. Accountability is bilateral; thus, both partners must partake in open communication and shared decision-making. The broader ramifications of such conflict echo far beyond personal spheres, igniting dialogues on consent, ethics, and responsibility in familial settings. This emphasizes the necessity of continuous dialogue and transparent communication in maintaining relationship stability.From Viral Missteps to Sensible Actions: The Consequences of Instantaneous SharingIn today's digital era, the speed of information dispersal often eclipses its accuracy, raising profound questions about our engagement with technology and media. This theme is vividly represented in discussions on the knee-jerk reactions to online content, particularly within social platforms like TikTok.Mike's frustration encapsulates a growing societal trend: “It just pisses me off that people don't bother to check into anything about anything. They're just dumb.” This comment underscores the pervasive issue of individuals hastily reacting to sensationalist content without thoughtful reflection or due diligence. By perpetuating misinformation, these instant reactions sow discord and contribute to broader societal misinformation.Thus, the advice to “Wake up...Find things out on your own” resonates deeply, urging individuals to exercise critical thinking and skepticism in their digital interactions. In cultivating a more aware and informed public, steps towards combating misinformation can be taken incrementally, one person—one click—at a time.Recollection and Reflection: Remembering the Importance of Truth and TransparencyReflecting back on the discussion, significant issues like media misTimestampSummary0:00Trump's Second Term Sparks Controversy and Social Media Outrage3:46Marital Conflict Over Unplanned Pregnancy and Birth Control Deception7:08Complexities of Parenthood and Relationship Dynamics12:41Misconceptions About IVF and Trust in Relationships14:30The Importance of Critical Thinking in the Digital Age

Professor B.J. Dobski joins Greg and David this week to examine Mark Twain's Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, a work that stands in stark contrast to Twain's more familiar satirical writings. Through careful analysis, and using his latest book—Mark Twain's Joan of Arc: Political Wisdom, Divine Justice, and the Origins of Modernity—as a backdrop, Dobski illuminates Twain's treatment of virtue, heroism, and historical memory, as well as the novel's philosophical and political dimensions. The conversation situates Twain's Joan within broader questions of leadership, sainthood, and the moral imagination.

It got me thinking that I really want to start something with my Legacy Fiber Artz minis from previous year advents. Maybe a Granny Stripe blanket? Or perhaps another Recollections crochet blanket. I made one in the summer of 2022 (check out my Ravelry Project Page). It uses fingering weight yarn held triple and treble crochets. You work each row right to left and cut each time. between each set of clusters you use a main color. Debating using Fibernymph 10g minis from last year's advent for those rows (notes say it used- about 8g per row but that's held triple which might just be too annoying). I'm debating making a smaller blanket that will live on the backseat of my car, draped over. Mostly for the pop of color with my gray interior but I bet the kids would use it when they're back there. I'd also like to make a crocheted granny square tank top for the summer so I could potentially use some of my minis for that. Do you have any ideas for me?   From the Armchair   The Wandering Purl YouTube channel- I have a Gilmore Girls sock sized bag from Bethany and I know lots of you are fans of her, but I didn't realize she had a channel!  Enjoying her content, check it out.

In this episode of Closer to Venus, host Johnny Burke talks with Rod Bradley, a veteran journalist, trans dimensional communication (TDC) practitioner, and author of 'The Monk's Path.' They delve into Bradley's accidental discovery of TDC in 2005 and his experiences of recording disembodied voices related to Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). Bradley shares stories about his past life as a Franciscan monk in 17th-century Sicily, connections with his current family from that time, and the mystical experiences and recordings that have reinforced his beliefs in reincarnation and fate. Bradley also discusses skepticism surrounding TDC and EVP, potential scientific approaches to validate them, and how these practices could help mediums and skeptics understand the spirit world better. Throughout the discussion, Bradley's personal encounters with psychic mediums and unique experiences are highlighted, providing an in-depth look at the mysteries of reincarnation and trans dimensional communication. 00:00 Introduction to Rod Bradley and the Mysteries of Reincarnation 00:36 Rod's First Encounter with Trans Dimensional Communication 02:58 Exploring Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) and TDC 05:31 Skepticism and Evidence in Trans Dimensional Communication 06:45 The Monk's Path and Past Life Memories 08:53 Recollections and Research on Past Lives 18:58 Mystical Experiences and Christian Connections 22:41 The Concept of Sacred Vows and Pre-Birth Planning 29:31 Future of TDC and Overcoming Skepticism 36:30 Conclusion and How to Find More Information https://www.rodbradley.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

My daughter and I had not been back to that camp in the Tetons since she was a little girl, like five years old. We stayed there as a family way back then, because our good friends from college ran the camp. There she struck up a friendship with their five-year-old who's named Holly. Well, the camp has grown a lot over the years, and so have our daughters who are speeding through their lives. It was kind of fun for them to see each other again and Holly took my daughter for a little private tour of a bunk house that was there some years ago when we were there. They had to bend down for what Holly wanted to show her. But there it was, still decorating the wood, in living Crayola color, Holly's name in red crayon and my daughter's in blue Crayon; both written in distinctive penmanship that five-year-olds have, and both still there after all these years. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Lasting Mark of Life's Mistakes." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Genesis 32, beginning at verse 24. Jacob has been having a wrestling match with someone who turns out to be divine. And verse 24 says, "Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." Finally the fight ends when that man touches the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with that man. Later, Jacob knows who he met there. He called the place Peniel, saying, "'It is because I saw God face-to-face, and yet my life was spared.' The sun rose above him as he had passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip." Jacob struggled with God. He'd actually wrestled with Him his whole life. But at this brook he goes for God's full blessing. God changes him from Jacob, the cheat, and He changes his name to Israel, Prince with God. The whole nation will be named after him. God forgives. God transforms Jacob, and He's still doing that with Jacobs today. But even though the struggle with God was over, Jacob carried a life-long reminder of his struggle - the limp. The sin was forgiven, the man was changed, but as happens so often, he'd struggled with God and that left a mark on him the rest of his life. Now, my daughter couldn't get over how long the marks had lasted for what she did many years ago. In a way, that's a picture of how sin is. Even though the sin is long behind us, long forgiven, often the consequences, the marks of our sin are there for years to come. Sin is cruel. You were once its slave, and you're free now but you still carry some of the scars of how your slave master treated you. You always will. We need to remember what sin does, because those scars, those lasting consequences will deter us from leaving God's ways again. Now, forgiveness comes quickly when we bring our sin to the cross of Jesus, but it doesn't come cheaply; it cost Him his life. But the ready availability of forgiveness should not make us forget the sometimes continuing consequences of sin - the limp that is there long after our struggle with God is behind us. I think of four Rs that explain some of the lasting marks of sin. Reputation - the damage to your reputation can last a long time. Regrets - there for years. Relationships that were damaged that are hard to repair. Recollection - the memories that just keep coming back. It's a sobering reminder to seriously count the cost before we take any spiritual detour. The scars of our past aren't all bad. Not if they remind us to stay away from sin because of its price tag. And it's wonderful to know that God has forever erased those sins from His book. You say, "Well, Ron, I'm not sure I've ever had that happen." Well, have you ever, in your heart, gone to His cross and said, "Jesus, You're dying for my sins there." If you've never put your life in His hands, do it now. You say, "Jesus, I'm yours." Our website is there to help you be sure you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. And the next time sin looks enticing and interesting, let's not forget what our daughter was so graphically reminded of, staring at the marks she made so many years ago. The marks still remain long after what we did to make the marks is over.

I'm reading Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics. We start with Plato! The Last Days of Socrates and excerpts from The Republic. I'm a beginner at reading the classics, but I've decided to just "crack the book" and get started. Here are a few of my key take-aways from Plato:Human nature just doesn't change. Socrates talks about how to influence a crowd (by misrepresenting ideas), and he gives a pretty funny explanation of misanthropy that I didn't expect. (You hate people because you expect them to be perfect and they aren't. Grow up, get real, and understand that the vast majority are neither purely good or purely evil, but somewhere in the middle.)The distinction between an Idea (maybe think of it as a quality, like Beauty) and the thing that has the beauty (like a beautiful vase, for example) is important. The object can point to the Truth of the quality but never perfectly. It is critical to be very clear on what is the Idea and what is the object exemplifying that Idea. That sounds very obvious when I write it but in the real world it is easy to skip over.These books covered things I had heard of, like the Theory of Ideas, the Argument from Affinity, and the Theory of Recollection. I won't go into them here, but I have kept notes to trace them for myself. There was a surprising amount of reflection on the nature of the soul. Now, of course, I'm wondering exactly when did the Greeks divide man into body and soul, and what exactly did “soul” mean for them? I know they didn't necessarily think of it like I think of my soul as a Christian.Book I of The Republic is all about “doing right,” a phrase for a Greek word that is also translated “justice” but incorporates a much bigger and more moral sense than mere legal justice. There is a lot to think about for people who are considering leadership, especially political leadership. Finally, the Cave Allegory. I thought it was basically about not seeing things clearly, but learning to see them as they really are. In fact it is much, much more than that. In particular, Socrates talks about learning to see in the bright light, and then trying to come back to those inside the cave, trying to explain the truth. And there's a line that I'll misquote, but the point is, “Are you blind because you have always been in the dark, or are you blind because you were dazzled by brightness?” What a question.This is a year-long challenge! Join me next week for Greek Poetry and The Odyssey.CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

A little past midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis, a US Navy cruiser, had just delivered the uranium that would be used in the first nuclear bomb dropped on Japan, and was returning to the Philippines when it was struck by a Japanese torpedo. The ship was badly damaged in the attack and within ten minutes it rolled onto its side, dumping 890 crewmen into the pitch-black ocean and dragging the remaining 300 down with the ship.Those who survived the torpedo strike did what they could to grab supplies before abandoning ship, but there were very few life boats or life jackets, so many of the sailors had to float in the water or cling to the few rafts they did manage to take before jumping from the boat. To make matters worse, their mission had been highly confidential and no one in the Navy knew where the Indianapolis was, much less that it had sank. The surviving crew thought things were about as bad as they could get, then the sharks began showing up.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1945.
