This is the name of a Hispanic shop I start just a month ago in Wilson’s Mills, NC with my wife. Many people ask about the name, …well “la rueda” means “the wheel” in Spanish and I choose this name because I think the wheel was a great discovery for humanity and this is my first business, so I feel like if I am discovering “the wheel” something that although is not new at all, it’s new for me. “tienda hispana” means Hispanic shop in Spanish, …and that is what we are trying to do, and “flea market” because we can say we inherit this from the previous owner that use to operate a flea market in the weekends there. We are following this “tradition” and by now are giving free space for people who want to come and sell something they are not using.

This place use to be a Thrift shop and a flea market, we came with the idea of making a Hispanic shop and buy all the existing inventory from the previous owner. Initially we though to sell quick all the use stuff we buy …but soon we realize this business was more profitable than the Hispanic groceries so we keep it too. So now we sell used stuff that we buy like computers, tools, toys, appliances, ..etc, used stuff that people bring us and left in consignment, Hispanic groceries, like beans, tortillas, juices, Hispanic drinks and so on, prepaid phone cards to call Mexico centroamerica and …the rest of the world, also offer money transfer services through Viamerica and Sigue, and in the weekends we “rent” space outside and sell our own stuff like a flea market.

The wheel have a symbolic meaning similar to the circle but with the additional quality of movement. As a symbol of the sun, the wheel’s spokes parallel the rays of the sun, is the absolute cosmic power; it is the universal father, it is the center of being and intuition, it is knowledge and warmth, glory and splendor. In the Taoist tradition, the wheel is the Sage who has reached the point of motionless center, around which movement may occur without himself being moved.

The wheel also represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection, the Self, the infinite, eternity, timelessness, all cyclic movement, God ('God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere' (Hermes Trismegistus)). It is masculine power; as the soul and as encircling waters, it is the feminine maternal principle. "It implies an idea of movement, and symbolizes the cycle of time, the perpetual motion of everything that moves, the planets' journey around the sun (the circle of the zodiac), the Wheel of Fortune in a deck of tarot cards, the great rhythm of the universe.

The circle is also zero in our system of numbering, and symbolizes potential, or the embryo. In the number ten, symbolizes heaven and perfection as well as eternity. It has a magical value as a protective agent, and indicates the end of the process of individuation, of striving towards a psychic wholeness and self-realization"

I feel shame, because I feel stupid for not revising my bank statements better, but I want to share this with you, because it maybe helps someone in similar situation.  easysaver.com, american-leisure.com, they charged my credit card, during a few month without my authorization. I call to my bank and they promised to refund the charges of the last month. I speak to them at 877 5648538, and they promised they are going to give my money back.

The other two charges from AP9 Todaysescapes  and VistaPrintrewards. They charged me during a few months without my authorization, their website is dealpass.com. They agreed to refund one month of the “service" (I never used it, since I had no clue I was “enrolled") but refused to refund the rest.

A reputable company should refund all the charges, if you were not aware of their existence and never used their service. A reputable company-service should not rely on a deceitful practice.

In my view, Todaysescapes, Vistaprintrewards,  Easysaver and American-leisure are not reputable companies.

So if you see anything like this in your bank statements, call your bank immediately and tell them to cancel this charges. Check the site http://www.ripoffreport.com/ and you would find numerous reports about this “companies”

When India was granted independence and partitioned in 1947, massive populations of Muslims and Hindus were given their own geographic nation. The hard-working and hard-fighting Sikhs decided to join with predominantly Hindu India and put their faith in the Indian government to protect their interests.

After receiving such firm and solemn promises in clear and unambiguous terms from the Congress Party leaders, Sikhs decided to throw in their lot with India and did not press the British government for an independent Sikh state. They had wholeheartedly and vigorously supported the freedom struggle and suffered greatly for the cause.

Promises of religious freedom and self-determination made to them by Mahatma Gandhi and Mr. Nehru were never fulfilled. No sooner had the country achieved independence when all past promises, declarations and assurances made to the Sikhs, and the sacrifices made by the Sikhs were forgotten.

With the partition of India to form the Moslem state of Pakistan, 60% of the agriculturally developed lands of the Sikhs went to Pakistan and the Sikhs migrated to Indian Punjab to make their new homes on barren land. Through their skill and industry, this land was transformed by a "green revolution" and now provides 60% of the food supply for all of India, including 70% of all the wheat and 50% of the rice.

Throughout their history, Sikhs have earned great distinction by standing in defense of the rights of other religious peoples, notably the Hindus. Historically, thousands of Sikhs gave their lives to protect the nonviolent Hindus against the abuse of the ruthless Moguls who forcibly imposed Islam upon India for several centuries. At the time of the fight for independence from Great Britain, 60% of the military was composed of Sikhs although they were only 2% of the total population.

The Sikhs are a people who value human rights, who have defended India against scores of invaders throughout the centuries, and who contribute in all respects to the independent nation of India.

Here in Yuwie, I have a good sikh friend, maybe you know him, his name is Charanjit Singh
