Quilling - what the heck is it? Consider it the Medieval version of Reduce-Reuse-Recycle... Medieval book illuminators, after completing and binding books, would end up with hand-made pages of varying sizes, and slice off edges to make them more even. Not being wasteful sorts, they would twirl the strips around their quill pens (hence, the term "quilling"),

Like the mythic Hero who faces challenges, struggles with uncertainty and overcomes fear, we are each on a soul-journey. Each night, while we dream, we dip into an expanded state of consciousness. This natural intelligence is our subconscious mind, which holds vast memories and deep knowing. Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Blink: The

1. The view from outside.
Dear Reader, I am not like you. I am not now nor have I ever been a Christian. Nor a Moslem. Nor a Jew. Nor a Hindu. All these religions, all organized religion, seem bizarre to me. Yes, I know most humans throughout history have believed (or claimed to believe or tried to

Even if the Abbey is Spanish Mission outside, inside it is more Victorian than anything else, spacious and comfy overstuffed furniture indirectly lit by faux Tiffany lamps. Classical music plays in the background. Kelly sees Shevek sitting on a lime green velvet couch. "Prof. Shevek..." "Alex, please. We have "done time" together, have we not? We

First, the good news: The real estate market has clawed its way back from the brink and is about a third of the way to a normal, pre-bubble market. The bad news: It's going to take until the end of 2015 to get us the rest of the way, and recovery could take even longer if the economy loses steam again.

Nancy looks in the shallow hole she's scraped and sees bright red flecks of blood in her black diarrhea. "Great," she groans to herself. "Old and fresh blood." Using an almost dry leaf she wipes herself and then brushes her hand over her small round ass, white and muscled. "Well, haven't lost all my fat yet," she childes herself. She pulls up her pants

I'm trying real hard to keep a long-term perspective when it comes to statistical real estate trends. So my pledge to ignore short-term moves - read it here - was tested when the folks at Zillow releases their periodic survey of economists across the nation to see their outlook for housing values. I found some interesting data within a Zillow report

The efficiency of the police is based on much practice with UCSC protesters and soon Kelly is being ushered into a holding cell. It has been years since he was last arrested but you couldn't tell by the large drab room, painted in peeling certainly-not-soothing vomit green and furnished with an exposed toilet in one corner and a built-in concrete bench

He has been feeling restless the last few months. Restless in a good way. Interested. Hopeful. Hence his enthusiasm for the mass picket at High and Bay, where the City on a Hill, the University of California at Santa Cruz, meets Surf City. The real Surf City of Hawaiian princes, O’Neill, and the big waves of Mavericks, not that shit suburb in LA.
