Fwd: BBC Video: Is clog dancing making a comeback?
Strictly Come Dancing [the UK's Dancing With the Stars] managed to boost the fortunes of ballroom dancing in the UK. Now there are plans to revive a traditional folk dance for the north of England - clog dancing.
When Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly first unleashed sequin-clad, fake-tanned ballroom dancers back onto our TV screens in 2004, no one predicted how it would change the fortunes of ballroom dancing. The nation fell in love with glitter balls and the ballroom again.

Season's Greetings Everyone,
One of our community member, Raji, lost everything on wednesday when a fire broke out and destroyed every inches of her apartment while she was at work. Everything she owned except for her car and the clothes she wore that day has been destroyed. She needs our support. If you would like to donate clothes (size 14-16 pants), kitchen and bath items, furniture or just a financial donation, which is probably more helpful right now, please contact me by email at: t.revillon@verizon.net or by phone at 845-473-4324
May you all be safe this holiday season and forever as well.
Peace be with you and your loved ones,
Thierry

Free Viewing of 'FIERCE LIGHT '
From the Film Maker:The 2006 murder of friend and fellow media-activist
Brad Will in protest-torn Oaxaca, Mexico, is the impetus
for Ripper's journey, which takes him to the flash points
of spiritual activism around the world, including Montgomery,
Alabama; Robben Island, South Africa; Andrah, India;
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and South Central Los Angeles,
where a months-long protest against the razing of a vital
community garden provides a highly dramatic spine for the
wide-ranging film. En route, Ripper encounters a number
of eloquent icons, including American Civil Rights legend
Congressman John Lewis, actor turned activist Daryl Hannah,
Nobel prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pulitzer Prize
Winning Author Alice Walker, Buddhist peace activist monk
Thich Nhat Hahn, famed tree sitter Julia Butterfly Hill, and
dharma punk, Noah Levine. Ripper takes an insightful and
inspirational look at change motivated by love. Called "soul force"
by Gandhi and "love in action" by Martin Luther King, spiritual
activism's roots are examined and illustrated by interviews and
stories from around the globe.

Reuters: Britons believe the hills are alive with haggis
Reuters: updated 12:09 p.m. ET, Fri., April 23, 2010
LONDON - One in five people in Britain thinks that haggis, the traditional Scottish dish made from the lung, liver and heart of a sheep, is an animal that roams the Highlands, according to a survey on Friday.
Commissioned by the online takeaway food service Just-Eat.co.uk, the survey found that
Another 15 percent said it is a Scottish musical instrument while 4 percent admitted to thinking it was a character from Harry Potter.
The survey questioned 1,623 people across Britain to see how well they were acquainted with traditional Scottish food.
Even 14 percent of the 781 Scottish people polled said they did not know what haggis was.

"There is a prophecy leading to 2012 thatsuggests when people sound together withtheir voice as a singing prayer for worldpeace and harmony, it can have a significanteffect in restoring peace on earth. The sonicmeditation of World Sound Healing Day is soimportant for the healing of our planet.World Sound Healing Day energizes the peaceand transformation that all people seek forplanet Earth. With our wisdom and intentionalsound, we can affect dire 2012 predictions ina helpful way - The Way of Compassion, Loveand Lasting Peace," says Healing Sounds pioneer Jonathan Goldman.
Goldman believes people making sound together can help create peace on the planet. On February 14th, thousands like-minded individuals will send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth - "World SoundHealing Day." For five minutes, meditators,peace activists, sound healers and manyothers throughout the planet will project theheart sound "AH" filled with the intention ofpeace and love!
"The "AH" is a universal, non-denominationalheart sound that when projected with focusedenergy is extremely powerful and effective,"Goldman says. He has found that creating aglobal sound such as "AH" will create atransformational wave of energy that willpositively affect the entire Earth.
An internationally acclaimed author(including HEALING SOUNDS , THE 7 SECRETSOF SOUND HEALING and the forthcoming THE DIVINE NAME: The Sound That Can Change The World), as well as anaward winning musician(including "Chakra Chants", "The DivineName", "Ultimate Om" and "2012: AscensionHarmonics" ) Goldman has found that soundcoupled with intention has the ability toheal and transform: He notes that "TheGlobal Consciousness Project at PrincetonUniversity has measured the effects of globalmeditations and found a correlation betweenpeaceful activities on the Earth and thesemeditations. We've added sound to this inorder to enhance the effects of globalmeditation." Here is a link to the outcome of last'syear World Sound Healing Day: www.healingsounds.com.Goldman <http://www.healingsounds.com.Goldman> adds: "The results are impressive.There is a reason most sacred prayers are chanted aloud. Sound amplifies the power ofconscious prayer: it's that simple!"

Thousands of people, not only in the United States, but also in many countries in Europe, Asia as well as Australia, will be sounding with the intention of creating peace and harmony on Earth.
