~ Photos from Colonial Williamsburg and the Bruton Parish churchyard ~ “Let the peace of this day be here tomorrow when I wake up.”. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.” Peace is not just mere absence of violence. ~ “World peace must develop from inner peace. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.”. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. ~ “Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. ~ “Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?”. The energy of happiness exists in living today with roots sunk firmly in reality’s soil.”. ~ “Leave behind the passive dreaming of a rose-tinted future. ~ “Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.” ~ “My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. ~ “We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. You can chose to be stressed or you can choose to let the small stuff go and be peaceful this Holiday season. ~ “December is full of the beauty of Light and love we can bring into our life. ~ “Take the time to celebrate stillness and silence and see the joy that the world can bring, simply.”. May you be with those you love, and may your greatest gift this year be a heart filled with happiness. On this Christmas eve, I wish you and yours the merriest of Yule celebrations tonight. We enjoyed the wreathes as we walked through CW earlier this week, and I hope you enjoy these few photos I captured. Once again this year, Colonial Williamsburg is dressed in its Christmas finery, wreathes upon most doors.Īlthough Christmas was barely celebrated in the colonial era, and ran more to parties and church services than to elaborate decorations or shopping, visitors find beautiful della robia wreathes and other decorations made of evergreens, fruits, nuts, pods, berries, flowers and twigs throughout the Colonial part of town. One of those ancient symbols is the evergreen wreath. However practical, whimsical or existential our wishes may be, we dare to believe they will be granted on this magical night.Ĭhristmas, as we know it, is a relatively ‘new’ holiday built on ancient customs and symbols. As the year winds down towards its close, we hope our dearest wishes will be fulfilled in a sparkling starry magical way that gifts us with wonders we have not earned, and perhaps can never explain. Re-tell familiar mystery stories.Ĭhristmas eve celebrates the great mysteries of our lives and loves. We light candles, make music, prepare our family recipes. Like our own birthday or wedding anniversary, Christmas eve is one of those still points on the wheel of the year where we pause and remember.Ĭhristmas eve invites, and perhaps demands, that we observe the rituals learned from our parents, adopted from our friends inherited from the literature of our evolving lives. Vineet Raj KapoorĬhristmas eve invites nostalgia from the most contemporary and practical among us. ~ ~ “All you need to enjoy this world is imagination, not money”. Tradition is a good gift intended to guard the best gifts.”. Time is such an elusive thing that if we keep on meaning to do something interesting, but never do it, year would follow year with no special thoughtfulness being expressed in making gifts, surprises, charming table settings, and familiar food. ~ “There is something about saying, ‘We always do this,’ which helps keep the years together.

The three men are also the company’s sole sales force, but have relied more on word-of-mouth to instigate new business.

The three co-founders use engine hoists to remove the harvested ice – each machine turns out two 300-lb. Owner-operated, Hundredweight now owns two Clinebells, with a third scheduled for delivery by fall, and operates in a space adjacent to Dutch Kills. “Weather Up Tribeca is the first bar in the world to produce, harvest and serve hand-cut block ice in-house with a Clinebell,” he says.īy early 2011, Weather Up Tribeca was handily supplying custom-cut ice to itself, Dutch Kills, and the original Weather Up in Brooklyn, paving the way for the creation of Hundredweight. But when he opened Weather Up Tribeca later that same year, he made sure he had a Clinebell, which he bought a refurbished for about $3,000, on the premises. In 2010 Boccato co-founded PKNY, which had a different ice program. You can even shake a cocktail better with this ice.” “Using this ice allows us to maintain the integrity of the cocktail by keeping an optimal temperature and water content throughout the life of the drink. “We wanted this caliber of ice to be our standard, not only because of its aesthetically pleasing clarity but because it’s so minerally pure,” says Boccato. In short, the pristine ice specimens – spears and larger cubes that the bar’s workers sawed off from the glacier-pure square slabs – could win beauty titles as they lounged in their drinks. blocks of ice that came out of a Clinebell ice-making machine that eliminated sediment, impurities and oxygen bubbles from the water. One large cube with four sides – as opposed to three cubes with 12 facets – typically meant a slower dilution time for drinks.īut when Boccato and Petraske partnered to co-found Dutch Kills, Boccato upped the ice-profile ante.īoccato turned to an outside vendor for 300-lb. Owner Sasha Petraske had achieved a certain notoriety for freezing water in pans and cutting the ice, on the premises, into larger oblong shapes. “When entrepreneurs do a backward integration,” she says, “they often change the rules of the game by controlling both the supply chain and also the price of the input,” she says.īoccato’s fascination with ice goes back to 2005, when he tended bar at both Milk & Honey and Little Branch, in Manhattan. For example, she says, instead of buying tires from a supplier, an automobile manufacturer might decide to buy a factory that makes the tires. Clark Muntean defines it as going back one step in the production process and claiming control over it. “Economists call what Boccato did ‘backward integration,’” says Susan Clark Muntean, assistant professor of entrepreneurship and management at Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana.

This prevents your internet service provider from seeing your online activities. Use a VPN: The browser extensions above hide the bulk of your activity while browsing, but a virtual private network (VPN) can add another layer of privacy by routing your traffic through a secure, encrypted connection.But in exchange for the occasional slight headache, companies will have a harder time tracking what you do online. Sometimes a browser extension might cause a website to display text strangely, prevent embedded images or tweets from loading on a page, or remove the little social media buttons that make it easy to share an article. Privacy almost always comes at the cost of usability. The ones included here are widely scrutinized, or created by reputable companies. So, while often useful, it’s best to avoid extensions unless you know exactly what they’re up to. In the last few years, we’ve seen a number of popular extensions turn out to be malware, and one very popular tab management extension was flagged and removed from the Chrome Web Store after the extension’s development changed hands. It’s rare for researchers to bother looking closely at extensions to make sure they’re above board. Like apps and desktop software, extensions are useful, but they can be a privacy nightmare. Dozens of other lower-profile browsers exist, but few get the security updates and support that most of us need in the software we use all day. The Tor Browser is the go-to for anonymity, especially in censored countries, but it’s unusable for most people as a daily browser. Brave is one of the more popular privacy-first browsers, but even it isn’t free of privacy-related controversies. Edge is based on Chromium and will work with the bulk of the Chrome extensions in this article, we haven’t tested it thoroughly. I’ve included links for both Chrome and Firefox, along with alternatives to our favorites, if they exist.Īs for other browsers, Apple’s Safari isn’t bad when it comes to privacy, but it lacks wide support for popular browser extensions. Regardless of which browser you use, a pack of extensions can increase your privacy by decreasing your exposure to trackers, as well as have the welcome side effect of boosting your security. (Most Chrome extensions will also work with Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi, though we haven’t fully tested them.) Of the two, I recommend Firefox if you prioritize privacy, as it’s much more focused on privacy out of the box compared with Chrome. Not all browsers offer the exact same extensions, but Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are the two most popular browsers, and the ones I focus on here. They are sometimes created by developers as a hobby project to solve a problem for themselves, but are also developed by larger companies as part of their own suite of software. But browser extensions are simple, generally free add-ons that you can use to slow down or break this type of data collection, without completely ruining your experience of using the internet.īrowser extensions, also called add-ons, are tiny bits of software you can download to add new features to your web browser.
