In a world of many supernatural races, most unknown to the world it makes it hard for them to find a mate, so when Dylan Vito meets Rose Bellamy things start getting complicated, but he just can't stay away from her and it's a risk he knows he shouldn't take but can't help taking, the relationship isn't the only thing getting complicated. A whirlwind of things become evident in their lives. Can they overcome it all and survive the complications and obstacles coming their way or will things spiral out of control as the web of hunters, and races put them on the run. Or another question weighing on their minds is who or what Rose really is? Will there be enough clues and research left behind to figure it out?My name is Marie, ever since I was in middle school I would be writing in my journal or writing pros or poems sometimes songs, life wasn't easy growing up, so I would find myself journaling or reading it was my escape from reality my own fantasy world when I needed an escape during difficult painful moments in my life. If it wasn't writing, reading or journaling it was listening to music. I enjoy anything creative that I'm able to do. My imagination never stops, it's been like this since I was a child. I enjoy taking pictures and dancing to my favorite music and singing along if I can. My favorite season is Autumn because of all the amazing colors. I have three sayings that I used my whole life.For more info on the book click HERE

The Bible claims that people are actually slaves – slaves to ourselves - to our own selfish desires - slaves to sin. The Bible says that this is a bondage that we cannot escape through our own efforts. But there is a Saviour that God has provided. Christ came to save you from your sins and to give you freedom indeed. Have you been freed from YOUR shackles of sin? Have you ever had a time in your life when you came to Christ to be set free?

NHL Hall of Famer and 5x Stanley Cup Champion Steve Shutt talks about his pivotal role in the formation of Willowdale's own RUSH, playing on the Habs Dynasty Line alongside Jacques Lemaire and The Flower Guy Lafleur, his days playing for the Toronto Marlies and hanging out with the Maple Leaf players at Maple Leaf Gardens, his wicked slapshot goal over Vadislav Tretiak's glove in the 1975 New Year's Eve exhibition game against the Soviet Red Army at the Montreal Forum, playing on that stacked 1976 Canada Cup squad, and how he developed a close off-ice relationship with Maurice ‘The Rocket' Richard built around fishing!

How does a Buddhist make use of the aphorism "Let go and let God?"Liên Shutt shares a deeply personal and reflective talk centered around the phrase "Let Go and Let God," inspired by a cross-stitch left by her adoptive mother. Drawing from both her Buddhist and Christian influences, Liên explores how this phrase bridges her upbringing with her Zen practice. She reflects on the pain and insight of not resonating with Christianity while appreciating how her mother's deep faith comforted her.Liên uses this as a springboard to delve into the spiritual dynamics of “letting go”—not in a passive sense, but as a practice of releasing control and embracing a deeper trust in the unknown, often referred to in Zen as the absolute. This becomes a metaphor for spiritual maturity and balance between effort and surrender.She further enriches the talk by introducing key Buddhist ideas:Relative vs. Absolute: The “G” (relative, rational thinking) and the “Re” (absolute, intuitive knowing).Sandokai teaching: A Zen poem describing the harmony between difference and equality.Hand-wringing metaphor: A symbol of inner turmoil that contrasts with the calming practice of presence and receptivity.Cosmic mudra: A meditation hand gesture that balances tension and ease.Through touching stories—including coming out to her parents—Liên models how negotiation between personal truth and inherited beliefs can lead to healing and connection. The talk wraps with a heartfelt tribute to her mother, affirming the universal longing for connection through love, whether it's God, Dharma, or simply being seen.______________Liên Shutt (she/they) is a priest lineage holder in the Shunryu Suzuki tradition. Born to a Buddhist family in Vietnam, she received her meditation training in the Insight and Soto Zen traditions in the U.S., Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency now have access to technical systems maintained by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, according to a recent memorandum viewed by FedScoop. The memo, which was sent from and digitally signed by USCIS Chief Information Officer William McElhaney, states that Kyle Shutt, Edward Coristine, Aram Mogahaddassi and Payton Rehling were granted access to USCIS systems and data repositories, and that a Department of Homeland Security review was required to determine whether that access should continue. Coristine, 19, is one of the more polarizing members of DOGE. He previously provided assistance to a cybercrime ring through a company he operated while he was in high school, according to other news outlets. Coristine worked for a short period at Neuralink, Musk's brain implant company, and was previously stationed by DOGE at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The memo, dated March 28, asks DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar to have his office review and provide direction for the four DOGE men regarding their access to the agency's “data lake” — called USCIS Data Business Intelligence Services — as well as two associated enabling technologies, Databricks and Github. The document says DHS CIO Antoine McCord and Michael Weissman, the agency's chief data officer, asked USCIS to enable Shutt and Coristine's access to the USCIS data lake in mid-March, and Mogahaddassi requested similar access days later. A bipartisan bill to fully establish a National Science Foundation-based resource aimed at providing essential tools for AI research to academics, nonprofits, small businesses and others was reintroduced in the House last week. Under the Creating Resources for Every American To Experiment with Artificial Intelligence (CREATE AI) Act of 2025 (H.R. 2385), a full-scale National AI Research Resource would be codified at NSF. While that resource currently exists in pilot form, legislation authorizing the NAIRR is needed to continue that work. Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., who sponsors the bill, said in a written statement announcing the reintroduction: “By empowering students, universities, startups, and small businesses to participate in the future of AI, we can drive innovation, strengthen our workforce, and ensure that American leadership in this critical field is broad-based and secure.” The NAIRR pilot, as it stands, is a collection of resources from the public and private sectors — such as computing power, storage, AI models, and data — that are made available to those researching AI to make the process of accessing those types of tools easier.

As today marks a disturbing time for many of us, I offered a Healing Space today at the same time as the swearing in. It was informal and my aim was to offering 3 aspects of healing: Acknowledging what is with tools we've learned from Buddhism and practice.

The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is undoubtedly the most contested Bible truth among skeptics. Untold books have been written attempting to discredit this clearly presented Bible event, but none have succeeded. Today's broadcast looks at the arguments often put forward in the attempt to disprove Christ's resurrection. We will let the evidence stand for itself!

There is not a truth more fundamental to the Christian faith than the truth of the resurrection of Christ. And it is especially at this time of year that millions around the world are confronted with this amazing claim - many with joy and thanksgiving at the blessed hope of the risen Christ, but others who refuse to believe what the Bible says. How important it is that Christians not only have a firm grip on this bedrock doctrine of the faith but also have the ability to convey it to skeptics who resist the truth.

Can we find meaning and pride in our ordinary lives? In this talk, Liên Shutt contrasts the extravagant events in our lives with the everyday moments and asks us to consider if we can drop our expectations of how things should be and instead allow them to exist just as they are. This is the definition of Buddhist wisdom or Prajña, which translates as "knowledge of things as they are."She quotes Sekkei Harada Roshi in "The Essence of Zen:""Things that we can see and hear do not exist because we believe they do; they exist apart from a person's thought. That which exists separately from the thoughts of the ego self... is the dharma." Liên helps us see that individuals and groups exist independent of whether or not we think they should.  ______________Liên Shutt (she/they) is a priest lineage holder in the Shunryu Suzuki tradition.

While Asian Americans are not alone in experiencing trauma, the racial languages and discourses of othering are different for us than for other groups.    What do we hope is the outcome of this podcast?  Our first aim is to give voice to the range and depth of Buddhism in Asian and Asian American generations.  We hope that in doing so, we help to shine a light on the limited or myopic envisioning of race in primarily white sanghas. Asian and Asian American diasporic truths about practice are a teaching for contemporary dharma organizations and centers. We recognize the depth and range of Asian and Asian Diasporic Buddhists is a wisdom mirror for organized Buddhism in the West.  Co-Host: REV.

More than any other metaphor in all of the New Testament, it is the image of a family that permeates everything. In the simple address of “brothers and sisters,” which covers nearly every early Christian writing, we can easily see the familial nature of relationships inside the church. A family is a beautiful and difficult place. What happens when we take our family of origin into the family of God.

The Dream Curse storyline in Dark Shadows was inspired by an obscure 1957 horror novel called The Dreamers, written by Roger Manvell. Although this was revealed by writer Ron Sproat at the first DS Festival, many remain unaware of the book and its influence on the Dream Curse plot. Returning to the podcast are Amanda Desiree and Stephen R. Shutt, who are both writers and longtime fans of Dark Shadows and all things spooky. We spend the first half of this episode examining The Dreamers, comparing and contrasting the novel to the plot line in the show. In the second half of the episode, we have some fun interpreting the symbolism of the DS Dream Curse as we try to determine the greatest fear of each dreamer.

In this talk, from Beginner's Mind Temple, Liên speaks about how Skillful View, in services of restoration, is about opening up to acknowledging harm and harming, (re)learning ways to be more skillful, and then enacting them. The talk also serves as an overview of the main points of Rev.

Liên Shutt, discuss alleviating suffering - whether addressing structural racism or personal conflicts - using Buddhist teachings to engage, heal, and transform oneself and the world, the dangers of othering and falling into binary thinking, and staying resilient - with compassion and wisdom - in the midst of continuing violence in Gaza.
