Neighborhood Preparation
NOW is the time to share this information with every neighbor and form a neighborhood group that can help each other.
Anarchy and riots could break out and law enforcement agencies may be operating sporadically if at all as we have witnessed in New Orleans.
Your first question may be: ?What if I don?t know my neighbors?? Well, this would be an excellent way to get to know them.
You can go door-to-door inviting them to your house for a meeting.
Or if your neighborhood has a meeting room, then reserve that room.
If you live in an apartment complex, then reserve your clubhouse.
Also some neighborhood associations and apartment complexes have a newsletter.
Prepare a notice about your meeting.
You might also consider distributing flyers.
The secret to getting people to attend is the old ?What?s in it for me??

by: Scott Schirkofsky
In the last 10 years Americans have seen a boom in local food markets and for good reason. While Americans continue to buy more fast food, they still expect perfect ingredients and they are finding them.
So why are they turning to their local markets more and more? In a nutshell they want fresh, healthy produce with great flavor. There are numerous other benefits to buying local products and it would seem Americans are now rediscovering what their local growers have to offer.
FRESHER
Care for fresher ingredients? Locally grown items are usually harvested 1 or 2 days before hitting the market making them significantly fresher then traditional store bought ingredients. For those folks lucky enough to live in rural areas, many of your local ingredients may be available to you the same day they are harvested. Produce flown in from other parts of the country or world is considerably older...

Meditation is often misunderstood by those who do not practice it. Very often, I hear meditation referred to as, ?altered states of consciousness.? That sounds more like intoxicants, rather than bringing clarity to a cluttered mind. Without going too deep into what meditation is, or is not, let?s focus on one of the many things a daily meditation practice can do for you.
Meditation is commonly seen in many Yoga classes, but it has been practiced by a variety of cultures, including Roman Catholic priests, as well as Japanese Samurai, who practiced a form of Zen meditation. I mention this so you can see the full spectrum of meditation and its many facets.
There are many varieties and types of meditation, but the easiest form to learn is, ?breath awareness meditation.? Compared to many other meditation techniques, this will enable anyone to experience the benefits of meditation...
