Solomonic Red Sox Brass Pitch Home Opener to Baseball Faithful
Rooting for the Boston Red Sox has always required plenty of faith, but never before has it been the subject of an ecclesiastical compromise.
Boston's home opener is Friday, which coincides with Good Friday and the start of Passover. The religious doubleheader has not caused any other Major League Baseball team to alter its plans, but the Red Sox believe the day of worship calls for a bit of reverence at rowdy Fenway Park.


text: Is what this is all about. Baby steps to lead into surgery and baby steps to recovery and a new way of eating and living. Last night I attended my first of two required nutrition classes. It was very informative and it was also nice to meet some of the other ladies in my area that are going through the same thing as I am. I will say they are much more motivated and getting their appointments done sooner than me that's for sure. I haven't had much luck contacting the pulmnologist, although I have called we are just playing phone tag at this point. I was told since I snore and whatnot to try and get a hold of them as they will probably be the one who is the most drug out as far as processes go. So I've returned the call and now I wait! I also need to make a psychiatric appointment too. I have to get the initial bloodwork done but she said to hold off until the end of October since I want to have the surgery in January. Next week I will be attending the first of my support groups and am very excited as the guest speaker is my surgeon and the topic is Life after Surgery. I also want to get to the bookstore and pickup one of the recommended reading books, as I hear they are informative and full of great tips going into and out of surgery. So the baby steps are in place and it's hard to believe almost two weeks have past since my initial consult.

October 21, 2011 - 'Irene' Reeks Havoc on the 'Yancey'
With the dive season slowing down for me here I will have less and less to report on for NC diving. That does not mean an end to my Dive Blog Report. Stay tuned for new future stories on an inside look at the making of my documentary films on Truk Lagoon and the SS President Coolidge plus a bit on Mike's Top Ten Dives of all time. For any photo buffs out there keep in mind I offer courses for all levels of enthusiasts both in person and live online with web cams. If your getting bored this fall/winter and want to fine tune your photo skills or learn some new ones contact email@example.com for more information on how to sign up.Our season here is not over in NC. My vessel the 'Midnight' has full day trips and half day trips scheduled this weekend October 22 & 23 as well as the weekend following that one. Olympus Dive Center and the flag ship M/V Olympus will have trips running all the way through the end of November with a Lobster Excursion coming up as well. So don't hang you gear up yet because you could miss something special diving the Outer Banks of NC. Give the shop a call at 252-726-9432 to find out what is available and when.
'Irene' Reeks Havoc on the Yancey
With that said it was time for them to make the jump. One by one divers lugging about 150lbs of gear each leapt off the side or should I say dropped off the side of the boat and vanished down the line. With a dive this deep none of them was expected to return for at least 60 minutes due to a fare amount of decompression required at the end. The penalty for diving this deep is having to hang on the line in the ripping current for 30-40 minutes with the equivalent of a small dive shop attached to your body.
As each diver returned they all indicated it was a good time down there with while some dragged their feet somewhat after the laborious dive. Capt Tony Elliot of the 'six pack' dive boat, the Thomas S with Olympus Dive Center returned to the Midnight about the same time as Jon Belisario and both made note of the newly found damage to the Yancey bow. "She is tore up pretty bad", said Tony in awe, who has been on this wreck before with Jon and knew something was different right away. I could only hope the other divers, who have never been on this wreck before, would figured out that a part of the ship was missing after I told them it was fully intact. A diver could easily lose his way with this kind of information. After all returned safe and sound no one indicated they had any trouble with navigating. "Good news", I thought to myself as I started to get my own gear ready to head in for a short dive on the Yancey. "These guys aren't the only ones who are going to have a bit of fun today" I smugly said to myself.My goal for my dive was to try to capture the extent of the damage on video rather than with a still camera. With the visibility only around a dark 40 feet, getting wide angle still images would be difficult if not impossible. With a video camera I could take pan shots of the effected area. With camera loaded I jumped over the side and started to head down the anchor line. The full extent of the current came to my attention immediately. A hand over hand descent down the line would be required today which is easier said than done when your carrying a 30 pound camera system in one hand. I also noticed how dark it was and that the first thirty feet of water was dirty and colder than below where the temp climbed to around 77F. The top dirty layer also shut out a good portion of sunlight making it darker than usual at 150 feet. Once I arrived on to the wreck I let go of the anchor line and immediately began to drift at high speed across the port side super structure at 145'. I turned my body around and began kicking into the current and sizing up the wreck. With a sturdy kick it wasn't much trouble making way. When my eyes adjusted to the low light I could clearly see an entire section of the wreck peeled away exposing unknown machinery below deck. Time was limited as was my air supply so I had to work quickly. I began taking pan shots of the superstructure and the missing section while highlighting the steel plates that were ripped apart like a shredded piece of paper. I also managed to get a shot of machinery below deck which may be fuel transfer pumps but I cannot say for sure. Lastly, a jumbo sized Lionfish caught my attention and was worthy of a quick shot before making my way back to the anchor line. After about 18 minutes of humping that camera around in a stiff current I was ready to head back up the line. With each kick of my fins it seemed like I was gaining only inches towards my destination. Focusing my attention on long strong kicks and deep steady breaths I soon was able to grab the anchor line and slowly head on up.
It was at this moment I realized a small error on my behalf. I usually never dive with a lanyard attaching my camera gear to my body since I prefer to hold my camera at all times. This was a problem today since letting go of the anchor line was made difficult due to the 'Six Flags' style current breezing passed me on the line. The entire ascent I had to hold the camera in one hand while clasping a death like grip around the 7/8" thick nylon anchor line. At around 50 feet I was suppose to do a gas switch and change regulators in my mouth. (Switching to a higher percentage of Oxygen at shallower depths is a standard practice in technical diving) Since doing gas switches requires at least one hand I thought this would be an interesting trick. Wrapping my leg around the line I freed one hand up to perform the gas switch but not without some serious hassle. I felt like a tangled flag on a pole in a gale force wind with my leg twisted around that line. I have no doubt I looked a little ridiculous down there but, oh well, it got the job done. Once steady with my new regulator in my mouth it was time to complete the ascent. After hanging at 15 feet to complete my decompression requirements by off gasing unwanted nitrogen from my tissues I could poke my head above the surface, pass my camera up and clamber back on the deck. "Wow that was some current", I said aloud with a fairly weary voice while thinking to myself, "it wouldn't have been nearly so bad if I had a silly lanyard for my bloody camera". Anyway you "live and learn" or should I say "dive and learn".
To view the video of this dive please visit this link, Evolution Underwater Imaging and click on the first thumbnail in the gallery.
After all the other divers took a long two hour surface interval, the time came for them to conduct dive number two of the day. With many of the mysteries that first dives on new locations offer behind them, the second dive comes much easier. As luck would have it the wind calmed down more flattening the seas out and even the current seemed to slack off some as well. I made a point to inform everyone about the damage that had occurred to the wreck if they had not already figured it out and give them some last minute pieces of advice before cutting them lose on the Yancey. Without fail the divers made there jump, headed on down to the wreck and returned safely without incident. By time the last diver ascended the seas were near flat calm and the sun was bright overhead. "It was going to be a nice ride home", I thought. On rides like this back to shore the main concern is staying awake which is made easier by cranking the satellite radio and finishing off whatever food I can find in the wheelhouse. Nothing is safe from me if left out. Boating and diving after all makes me hungry. After an uneventful two and a half hour ride back to the dock it was time to pack up the boat and say thanks and good-byes to all the divers. Hopefully, they all had a good time and learned some new techniques while diving the wreck of the Yancey. I hope to see them all back again.
Mike's Photo Tip of the Week
Image Processing
Although the word "Photoshop" is a genetically used term in the English language sometimes as a noun and other times as a verb it is of course in reality a trademarked high powered graphics editing program that was released by Adobe in 1990. Twenty-one years later this software technology has revolutionized the way the world creates and views photographs causing a lot of controversy and competition along the way. The ability to digitally enhance an image by changing its exposure, colors, contrast and sharpness, to name just a few, has made it possible to take a mediocre photo and turn it in to a work of art or a simply a more visually stunning image. Those that utilize this technology in the favor, love it while others, such as the film photography enthusiasts, despise it for allowing so called 'cheats' to produce imagery they would not otherwise know how to create with traditional methods of photography.
Without creating a huge debate I will offer my two cents on this topic. In short, Photoshop when used professionally and ethically is an extension of the artistic process. Merely knowing how to tweak the settings of a photo in Photoshop or similar software systems is not enough to create a striking image. One must understand what a striking image looks like to begin with and then know how to create it. Being able to visualize your image is the first step. Second, you must have the correct hardware to take the shot with. Once you have the ideas and the correct equipment you must find the subject you are looking for and make sure the environmental conditions are suitable. After all this, you then take your photos and apply them to Photoshop. To not digitally post-process your images is like not developing your film negatives. You are doing an injustice to the final image. When all is said and done it is how one digitally processes their images that will most often separate a quality image from a poor one. I have all too often seen examples of decent shots completely screwed up by the creator in the processing stage because they became over zealous with the slide rules in the program. These sliders can over saturate an image or create loss of detail in the shadows. These problems I just mentioned are only but a few examples of what can go wrong. A photographer should have a basic understanding of color theory and understand the elements of a photo such as shadows, mid-tones and highlights and the relationship between them. My background with graphic arts in college was a huge help in understanding what makes for a quality image but practice and trial and error were just as important as they still are today. I would recommend signing up for as many courses as you can afford on the topic of digital enhancement and practice comparing your work to that of the pros to see what the differences are.
With todays high quality digital SLR cameras on the market today it is quite feasible to take great images without doing any sort of post production processing. Place the quality setting on the camera to JPEG and the software within the camera does the processing for you when you snap the shutter and most often with very accurate results. But, if it is the extreme high end of quality that you pursue then shooting in a uncompressed RAW format, which is the also called the 'digital negative', will be where you want to start out. RAW images by design usually lack color saturation, contrast and sharpness from the image. The uncompressed file format a RAW is will allow for much more latitude in Photoshop for the user to 'recreate' the image the way he or she saw it by adding color and contrast back in to the image. I myself shoot nothing but RAW files and edit nearly all of them while some have more editing than others depending on the image itself.
My personal rule of thumb is to never use Photoshop as a crutch in taking photos. If you say to yourself after snapping a mediocre photo, "ah, who cares I can fix it in Photoshop", you are doing yourself an injustice. By not striving to take the best quality photo possible with the hardware that you possess you are not learning to become a superior photographer. Start out with the best image possible before you edit it. My other rule to shoot by is to be as honest with my images as I can. I never change the composition of an image to improve it by adding or subtracting objects from the photo ie cloning a Sand Tiger Shark and placing him on a coral reef in the Bahamas. That would be cheating not to mention stupid because many viewers will know that Sand Tigers do not exist in the Bahamas. Your reputation will begin to founder with sad attempts like these. Unfortunately, there are many people in all branches of photography that are completely dishonest with their images just so they can make a 'buck'. The public today is all too aware of these unscrupulous photographers in turn making disbelievers out of most people when they look at a superb photo. "Did you Photoshop that?", is the question you will understandably get when skeptics look at your photos. Like it or not that is the way it is now in this modern digital world. Photoshop, for sure, is here to stay. You can embrace it or reject it. That's up to you and the quality of the finished product you desire.
Happy Diving!

Father Knows Best OR What happened to God? OR Just What IS Enlightenment?
But I've recently realized something else that amazed me. Many people are looking for spirituality WITHOUT God. Not that it isn't possible, but it is, to a large extent, the norm these days. Understandably, God has a bad rap. People see God or at least the word 'God' as representing a more Judeo-Christian old judgmental man in the sky kind of thing. This is a concept, and the concept must be let go of, but that doesn't negate the Reality which it represents. You may let go of your issues with your father; break away from him as a parent figure; etc. but that doesn't mean he stops existing. Or another example, in Vedanta, they often talk about confusing a rope for a snake, meaning to confuse the material for the spiritual. You can recognize that the snake is an illusion, but that doesn't make the rope disappear as well.
You can say, "I surrender to What IS" but What IS is God, the creator, the source, the absolute, Brahman, the Infinite Presence, etc. If you have issues with one or another of the 'words' used to describe that, you have issues. Preferring one or another word is fine, just like in Hinduism, they have 'Ishta Devatas" - one's chosen form of the beloved. But it is recognized there is NO distinction between them ultimately... God/Goddess/All That IS.
Nowadays, the tendency for Militant Me-ness and Radical Narcissism has created a generation to which the understanding of "I am God" is backwards. They want their Ego to be recognized as the infinite absolute. "I am God. Worship ME!" So, words like 'God', 'Surrender', and 'Humility' have become dirty words. It's all about how "I" can get everything for "ME" including Enlightenment. A Fool's Fancy!!!
"I am God" means truly that God is this 'I'. This me-ness is a spark of the fire, a thread of the carpet, a wave of the infinite ocean. And it is the letting go of, the surrendering of, the humility to drop this ego and enter fully into the Infinite Absolute that comprises the ever-expanding field of Awakening, not just "Oh Cool, I (the subtle ego) am God."
We are rambling a bit here, but thanks for bearing with me. One of the things I noticed about neo-advaita teachers and teachings in the very lack of the recognition of a Higher aspect of Reality. Few express this. Many don't even know this. Just like the fact that the Enlightenment Tradition comes primarily through cultures well grounded in belonging and community, they also come from cultures well grounded in a sense of the Divine. We don't have that here. Many people, on going to India, are struck by that sense of the Divine all around them. Every business, every town, every everything, it seems, is named after some aspect of God. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a temple, a sadhu, or something that is called Gopal this or Shiva that. Every taxi cab has a little shrine of some kind. People worship their cars, their cash registers, their computers as an aspect of the Absolute every day. They are deeply grounded that the source of EVERYTHING is God, the Father/Mother, and that their own Self is also an aspect of that.
When I was a kid, there was a show called "Father Knows Best" - one of those Leave it to Beaver, 50's type of shows. While I don't necessarily advocate that sentiment, still we have thrown the baby out with the bathwather. While letting go of some of the old concepts (the illusory snakes) we don't need to, and shouldn't throw out the rope as well. The tradition of Vedanta from which the teachings of Advaitic non-dualism spring is rife with devotional aspects. Adi-Shankaracharya, considered the father of 'modern' Kevala Advaita wrote dozens and dozens of devotional prayers to God in numerous forms. Nisargadatta worshipped his Guru numerous times EVERY day. Ramana, similarly spoke of God and the necessity of the Guru and wrote beautiful devotional songs to his Beloved mountain Arunachala.
Yes, there is Buddhism, which doesn't speak so much of God, but that's because it was a moot point. Buddha's point was that there is suffering and a way to end suffering. He NEVER said there wasn't a God. It just wasn't a necessary argument for the philosophy and understanding. And again, it's coming from a culture where that was taken as a given. Imagine being in a Christian church and saying , "Our suffering comes from our attachment to things of the world, to the mind" etc. etc. etc. Now did I say there was no God? No. It just wasn't a part of what I was addressing.
The recognition of Self as non-separate from the Infinite is like a zero-point. When one abides as "I" and sees practically that one is Consciousness, that is like the landing in India. Yes, you've touched the ground, but that's a far cry from exploring the landscape, learning the language, and ultimately losing your 'self' completely and fully into the culture. Landing is EASY. Recognizing that you, the real 'You' is Consciousness is easy peezy! You can do that in 5 seconds. Now live there, continuously, without leaving, 100% of every moment, moment by moment. Don't think just because you've glanced the 'brass ring' that you've caught hold of it, and certainly haven't become it. That is when there is no you and the Father/Mother/Absolute is manifesting fully as This I-ness.
We, in the West especially, and in the modern age in general, have Extremist Entitlement. "I don't need to do anything. I deserve it all. I have a pocket knife. I think I'll be a brain surgeon. Anyone can be President here, so I'll proclaim myself President. Everyone is inherently Spiritual Presence, so I'll proclaim myself fully Enlightened (without the need to go through any of the steps to REAL-ize that.)
While not wanting to detract from the Reality that the True Nature of everyone IS Infinite Consciousness, the nature of Maya or illusion is that, while you may mentally or even intellectually understand that, or have deep 'Aha's about it, that is not a concrete, tangible REALIZATION! This is the razor's edge. It is the What of the What and Who of you. It IS. There is no denying it. But as long as there is predominant identification with the phenomenal, the material, the body and mind, the desires and aversions, that is NOT Enlightenment. Do not be mistaken!!!
If this post has bothered you, ask yourself "WHY?" Who is bothered by it? What has been said that offends you, and what is that which is offended? The answer is EGO. Always has been, always will be.
The Bhagavad Gita says, Bahunam Janmanamante, Jnanavan Mam Prapadyate, Vasudeva Sarvam iti, Sa Mahatma Sudurlabha....
"After many many births, one who is already a possessor of Knowledge, (Jnanavan, like Jnani) surrenders to Me (God), and REAL-izes Everything IS GOD (Vasudeva Sarvam iti). Such a Great Soul (mahatma) is Very rare."
So, the reccognition of one Self as consciousness is the zero-point, so to speak. Now expand into that Infinite beyond the Infinite beyond the Infinite. Don't stop until all is lost.
Sounds like fun, huh!?!

Barnashram Family
"Trigger the 60's Virus" - Sure, we were young and naive back then, but there was a beauty and exploration that has since either died or gone into deep hibernation. Back then, I had a family. In fact, a huge family. And it wasn't just friends. We actually created our own family. I've been a so-called minister since I was about 15 (through Universal Life Church - long before I actually became a 'real' ordained Hindu Priest), and our 'family' started with 8 of us. We all held hands and 'took' each other as our husbands and wives (or something like that - I don't remember the exact words). From there it simply expanded. After one particular concert at Volunteer Park (Seattle) we performed one ceremony that had over 50 people, all in one big circle, holding hands, and it looked something like this:
Me: Do you... (pointing at next person in the circle)
Person: Rainbow!
Me: Do you Rainbow, take... (Pointing at each person in the circle sequentially)
Group: John... Sheila... Mountain Child... Oren... Karen... (Hic!!)Fwed!... Sunshine... Judy... (etc.)
Me. ... To be your loving family?
Rainbow: I do!
And all around the circle until everyone had pledged to love the others forever, and I still do. Everyone I come in contact with I love. I know I may not show it, but that's not the kind of love I'm talking about. The love I'm talking about is unconditional, and sometimes looks like a thunderbolt rather than a rose. Every particle of everything is God. How can it not be loved and beloved?
To me, Barnashram is much like that. The name itself means all of society, all levels of society and all facets of humanity. Of course, it also means a barn which is an ashram. Ashram means 'shelter, community, hermitage' and more.
We invite you to be part of that Family - whether close to us or far away.
With infinite Love & Blessings,

. I know, it hardly seems like Aja's kind of book, however, it was
incredibly diverse in speaking of what makes up health, and what those
cultures look like which have consistently had the most centenarians and
supercentanarians (those who live past 110).
I have often put forth the premise that if you could define and describe
paradise, every facet of it - birth through death, education, family
relations, community, education, spirituality, economics, EVERYTHING, and
then flip that 180 degrees, you would have current western civilization, or
lack of it. (Mahatma Gandhi was once asked "Mr. Gandhi, what do you think
of western civilization?" To which he replied, "I think it would be a good
Anyway, I digress. The point of this story is that Robbins, in this book,
similarly shows how, in many ways, my contention is correct: this society
is exceptionally unhealthy. In onechapter he writes about nurturing,
touching and how important this is to our health. Not only important,
literally crucial. He quotes the late psychologist, Virginia Satir who
says, "We need 4 hugs a day to survive. We need 8 hugs a day for
maintenance, and we need 12 hugs a day to grow."
We of the Barnashram community are attempting to take these words to heart.
Doing a little research on hugs, we've found that there have been a number
of 'hug heroes'. Just in the last few decades there was Eleanor Hill who
founded Resonance House, and promoted hugs with 'I give hugs' buttons. More
recently, Juan Mann started a 'Free Hugs' campaign and showed up on Oprah a
couple ofyears back.(check youtube)
Anyway, I've decided we need to create a hug-o-meter (pronounced hug - ahh
- meter - emphasis on the Ahh!) At present, I'm thinking 12 beads on a
string, which you can move to one end each time you give (or get) a hug.
(We used such a device to keep track of our daily chanting when I lived in
temples.) Look for them soon... Or better yet, create your own today!
So, why is Aja (famous for his curmudgeonly behavior) doing this? Because
it is essential. It takes very little time to recognize the Absolute. The
difficulty is that there is so much garbage in the mind, particularly of a
low self worth nature, that the recognition of the Absolute cannot be
maintained or REALized. They continue to be little glimpses which quickly
subside because, ultimately, we can't stand ourselves, our lives, our
environment, our society, our ... Hugging reverses this trend. You start to
share love and you become love. (I met a saint a couple of years ago in
India walking down the street. Beautiful man. He turned to me and said,
'Love is God'. Not God is Love, but Love is God. It's the only thing he
said, and then walked on. And you can't go around arguing with saints, ya
The Who and What of us is One Thing. The What (or Absolute is recognized
when the Who-ness is clear enough for the What to shine through. What
obscures that, in part, is our identification with a who in which we assume
there is 'something wrong'. There is nothing wrong, but we don't believe
it. Living in Love, allows us to recogize that there IS nothing wrong.
Okay, enough for now. So HUG - ON DUDES!

We Must Cultivate Our Garden
Although I recognize a few words from the French, including Garden, I went to an online translator, which produced the result, "We must cultivate our garden." Now I have definitely received less than perfect translations from the translator, but accurate or not, it IS perfect... We must cultivate our garden – our interior gardens and our exterior gardens.
A garden is a wonderful metaphor for so much of what we experience, and are, as life! And from personal experience, I can say and see, that both attention and neglect have very powerful consequences. For the past few years, we have totally neglected our 7 acres and consequently it has become overrun with weeds, particularly blackberry vines. Even cutting them down is only a small step because the hidden roots will continue to sprout unless we are ever vigilant and keep on top of them.
In the beginning, it appears there are so many steps to be taken and the mind can be overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all – cut the weeds, watch for new weeds, cultivate and prepare the ground, choose new plants, and plant the seeds, water them, watch for sprouts, discriminate new plant sprouts from weed sprouts (very important), watch for critters which will attack or eat your plants, and so on.
But eventually, you begin to see progress. You still have a long way to go. In fact, it is basically an endless process. But still, it is very encouraging (en-heartening) and gives a sense of deep satisfaction as we begin to see we are finally on the right path.
As things progress, two things happen – First is that we notice it is becoming easier. The really difficult part is over and the encouraging progress makes the journey more enjoyable. Secondly, we have created new patterns. The pattern or habit of neglect that we have inadvertently created is replaced by a new pattern or habit of cultivating and vigilance. It has become our natural state to be in and of the garden.
However, one small warning: No matter how easy things appear to have become, we must never give up our vigilance. There is a famous garden saying, "One year to seed, seven years to weed." This is not a metaphor only, but a truism. If even one year you allow weeds to go to seed, those seeds can sprout in your garden even seven years later. In other words, a lot of hard work goes down the drain through a short amount of negligence. It's like you can't stand still. Even though our tendency is to sit back and relax, to rest on our laurels, congratulate ourselves for a job well done – to do so means you may well find yourself up to your nose in blackberries again. As the saying goes, "Pride cometh before a fall," and true humility is one of the great ornaments of the cultivator of any garden.
But eventually, that habit of vigilance is established, the garden is cultivated, and beautiful and abundant fruits are recognized from those labors. In fact, the labors are more or less gone, as they have become so much the background nature of who you are that they are no longer labors, and the minimal amount of weeding is simply a part of what is.
And even though, in the beginning, when you attempt to survey the entire garden, and all you see is weeds, remember that the journey of a thousand miles (or a thousand weeds) begins with the first step (cut), and that it must be started sometime (Now), and it must begin somewhere (Here), and it is either started, or the weeds just continue to grow and grow and grow and grow and ...........
And though it is tempting to think that we can "just be," you may find that you are up to your ass in weeds, and you would do well to remember that ...
We Must Cultivate Our Garden.
The Relative and the Absolute
Next, let's define them a bit more. (I know that all of this appears to be a mental or intellectual exercise, and yet, it increases the understanding by which you can pass it all up.)
The Relative ....................The Absolute
Left Brain........................Right Brain
And so on and so on. Again, these are only labels for the 'many' and the 'one' within the Infinite Is-ness. But it is helpful to make the distinction.
Like I mentioned in the 'What and the Who of You' there is a tendency to put an over emphasis on one or the other. The vastness of humanity, of course, not only puts their emphasis on the who, but their entire identification is with the who. However, among many spiritual seekers, the emphasis goes in a weird way to the other side – entirely to the 'what' withdrawing completely from the who, or at least attempting to, proclaiming that it is 'all an illusion' or 'maya' etc. While this is true, it is also, in most cases, not recognized, but simply an artificial proclamation of the mind, allowing one to ignore or escape the 'Relative Reality'.
It is very much like the mind/body connection. For years people thought of these as separate items. Over the last several decades, people have become much clearer that there is no dichotomy here – body and mind are but two aspects of the same thing, and each affect the other deeply. I can speak from personal experience here, as any one who knows me knows that for the last 30 or more years, I have greatly neglected and abused the physical aspect as I have explored the spiritual...and am paying the price.
The Relative and the Absolute are, similarly, two aspects of the One Is-ness. Neglecting one or the other (on a long term or permanent basis) means that there will be consequences. Neglecting the Absolute, of course, means that you will always identify with the limited, individualized, localized aspect of you, as subject, to world as object, which will ultimately result in attachment, resistance and suffering to a greater or lesser degree.
On the other hand, identifying with (or rather as) the Absolute, will ultimately burn away the attachments to the localized individual who-ness. Ultimately!!! But in most cases, people want to continue being people! In other words, they don't really want to entirely give up their identification as who-ness and enter into the Absolute aspect. They want to continue to be 'of and in the world'. This is fine, in fact, it is great. But one can't expect the same results as one who goes into the mountain cave or hermitage for 5 or 10 or 20 years of deep meditation and inquiry. You can expect a lessening of resistance and suffering and a deeper recognition, even only glimpses, of What you are. But then you must ALSO realize that the Relative sphere is just that – Relative.
Within the Relative, there IS good and bad. There is hot and cold. There is better and worse. There is more 'spiritual' and 'material'. There is darker and lighter. You get the picture. Often, because of the nature of some degree of intellection or mental understanding of the Absolute, everything within the Relative becomes artificially 'One'. For instance, (my favorite rant) killing animals to eat them by the billions is considered fine because 'it's all relative', even though the increasing number of people wanting to eat meat in China, India and elsewhere (in imitation of the glorious West) is now causing world food shortages and the deaths of thousands through starvation and war. How you treat people is unimportant, because it's all one. Since we are all one and equal, my opinion or understanding is just as good as yours. (So, we're all equally qualified to be brain surgeons, rock stars, spiritual teachers, or artists, whether we actually have the qualifications or not.)
The Relative is called the Relative for a reason – everything within it is relative to everything else. If you don't care if you go left or right at the next corner, or if that thing hanging from the wire is red or green while you're driving, fine. If you can truly BE on that level, great, but you sure as hell shouldn't be driving a car. But if you experience relativity on one level, you probably identify with many levels of relativity, some of which you are currently not recognizing – things you agree with or disagree with for instance, or people you like or don't like, or philosophies you support or abhor. These are all on the Relative platform, and will be affected by your own filters, experience, habits, hopes, fears, etc. So, exploring the relative, particularly your own beliefs and habits within the relative, is infinitely important as you attempt to traverse your way into the Absolute. Dive deeply into the Absolute, but also inquiry into the Relative. Be the What, but don't ignore the Who and the 'Relative Truths' that exist there as well.

Zuca wheeled bags offer ease and convenience
Luckily, nowadays' computers as they get more sophisticated and more mobile are becoming smaller. Desktop computers have been replaced by laptops and are outfitted even and with nearly as much in some cases. People are more mobile these days and take their notebooks with them actually here I am sitting in a coffee house. Carrying your notebook around is a simple thing, yet the carrying vessel of convenience is a laptop bag once you have got a whole lot of books, paperwork, and much more to take with it. When I run off to the times coffee shop I throw my laptop into a laptop sleeve and proceed, or tuck it into one of my laptop messenger bags or backpacks, yet on occasion and especially when I'm travelling it is extremely convenient to toss my notebook together with all my work to a wheeled bag and go.
Often times my messenger bag can get heavy with publications and my work, so a laptop bag that is wheeled makes things simple and simple. The advantage is that you need to carry this burden on your shoulder you can wheel it like bag along with you. When looking for wheeled laptop bags, you should bear in mind exactly what and where you will use it. Like all bags laptop bags come in various styles and with unique alternatives. Something durable yet lightweight could be perfect if you are a student or traveling a whole lot. There are lots of brands out which one you look at, and there depends on your budget and what your objective is. Finding the right wheeled bags for your needs can be as straightforward as identifying what you may like to be viewed with as well. A number of these computer zuca bags are trendy, feminine research, and/or sleek the options are endless these days take the time to look around. Clearly laptop bags will be the way to go if you can be a lifesaver if you carry around your laptop and have a huge amount of stuff and work all of the time.

We were asked to dig deeper into reading during English 4 then we have in the past. I was extremely pleased when I heard we were going to be assigned reading challenges. Not only was I enjoying reading but I was also learning. I learned how to talk about a book intelligently instead of just saying it's a good book. The reading responses and the book talked helped me to do this. I also believe the discussions we had about the books we were reading in class taught me how to do this better.
Use literature to discuss modern issues
- I did this specifically in the Hamlet Project. I related the Queen to the issue of hiding reality. I picked quotes that had the Queen hiding something or trying to ignore what was really happening and connected that to something in my world. I was using her as an exhibit A you might say. She was the vehicle to get the thoughts across. I talked about how on social media we try and give off this appearance of everything is going good in our lives and I related that back to how the Queen acted when her husband was killed.
Analyze a text in a way that reveals a deeper meaning
- I would say my Book Talk reaches this objective nicely. In my book talk, I address how Seraphina is relatable to teens because of her search to find herself and how she is suppose to fit in her society. I don't say I relate to her because I'm a girl, I relate to her because I am also trying to find my place in this community. Also, I briefly talk about how the characters develop from book 1 to book 2. I am looking at their mannerism and such that were added to them in the second book instead of if they were funny or not.
Solidify personal choice and tastes in reading
- By the end of the year, it was clear what I desired in a book. This can be seem in my Book Talk. I specifically mention that I am a detail reader. I want details throughout the books I am reading. I am not to picky on the genre though. As long as the beginning catches my attention and it has enough detail, I will work through the book even if I might not read it again. Also I think characters are a make or break deal for me on a book. If I find the main character annoying, it will be hard for me to keep with the book

A Fellow's View of the APAN Meeting
It's already been two weeks. Sorry for the late post, but I think I owe it to this blog to post something about my trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There I attended the 28th Asia-Pacific Area Network (APAN) Meeting on July 19-24 as a Conference Fellow (i.e. free).
APAN is a conference on Networking particularly centered on Asia-Pacific communities. It's unique because it showcases the advances in network research with great emphasis in the academic setting. Most presenters are from universities in Asia, with a reasonable number from the government sector, and a select few from experts in the non-profit organizations and the commercial sector.
I applied for the fellowship grant with no expectation at all. I didn't even knew about the results until a friend (a more senior colleague) told me I was able to secure a spot. I was lucky to be one of the people in the picture below. I was so happy and thankful! ^^
We stayed at the Nova Hotel, a pretty good location in the heart of the city. It is adjacent to Bukit Bintang, only two streets away from Berjaya Times Square where the conference was held and in good proximity to everything else — from food (Chinese stalls in the same street), gadgets (Plaza Low Yat for us electronics geeks), and sceneries (Twin Tower is just a cab away).
Conference Sessions
As expected, I was present in almost all IPv6-related sessions. The first session I sat in was the INET KL 2009: IPv6 the Next Step hosted by ISOC and NAV6. It was a whole day event which culminated with some giveaways, among them an iPod Classic. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything, not even a free shirt. After the Plenary on Day 2, I was again seen in the IPv6 session, chaired by Ma Yan from BUPT. I knew him from APRICOT in Manila last February and I'm glad he still recognized me. Day 3 was a special one, a live broadcast of the ongoing Solar Eclipse seen in 4 locations in Japan and China. It was extra special being the longest eclipse we can witness in our lifetime. It feels nice that with advanced technology, we can witness and be part of such an event. Next stop for the day is the Network Engineering Workshop which was packed with monitoring tools and performance measurement methods etc.. Towards the end of the day, I transferred to Natural Resource. Now this one is more out of the need for internet connectivity (signal is better in this room) — yes, I was working remotely — but it was pretty informative and interesting too. It's good to see network applied in this field. Finally, Day 4 was all about Network Security, albeit briefly since there are just about 4 presentations.
The Experience
Overall, the Conference was just about what I expected. Presentations are great, at least in my interest areas. My only problem was with the internet connection both in the hotel and the Conference venue. It was very crucial especially since it's like all of my servers/services protested in the same week that I was out. So I had to work in between sessions, or better yet, multitasking while somehow listening to the Speaker. But this isn't always a good practice, i tell ya. 🙂
In between the serious stuff, there's the APAN Banquet at Restoran Seri Melayu, our frequent walk to Low Yat and Bukit Bintang, a drinking session (where I got drunk with iced tea) at Jalan Alor, and a day and night visit to the Petronas Twin Towers. On our last day, I toured to Genting Highlands with friends where we spent a day playing like kids in the theme park (and grade school nerds at Ripley's).

From heavyweight brand name to discount electric outlets, essentially every vendor and mattress manufacturer presently provide some type of memory foam. While it continues to be to acquire a few of the greatest customer evaluations, things has in fact furthermore made a performance history for being costly. Similar to great deals of significant purchases, the regular mattress from http://whatsthebestbed.org addresses customer needs to get among one of the most considerable bangs for their dollar and to find the absolute best offer.
6 Ways to Preserve cash on a Memory Foam Cushion
This certain bed has in fact developed a strong integrity of suitable, valuable and lasting. While it is crucial to have a look at basic well worth (precisely just how the attributes as compare to the expense) here are a range of concepts for flourishing when looking for a memory foam mattress
Concept 1: You Do not Need to Invest Thousands
Customers are correctly accustomed with the far better expenditures of a memory foam cushion, mainly as an outcome of the prices of amongst among one of the most noticeable brand name, Tempurpedic, which preserve around $2000-7000 and even more. It is incredibly vital for viable buyers to recognize that they have various choices when searching for memory foam, which bargains of do not bring the similar over-inflated expenses. There are choices promptly given in every cost selection, and customers can find high quality memory foam under $1000, especially using our list below criterion.
Suggestion 2: Look Online
Buying online can save you a huge amount of loan, specifically when it stresses memory foam! There is normally a larger selection of cushions worths that you will definitely have a much better opportunity of getting a cushion that jumps on sale, as vendors should handle bargains of numerous other service (versus the handful of shops in plenty of cities). Not to go over, on the net suppliers do not have the far better mark-ups or tax responsibility prices that originate from suppliers.
Suggestion 3: Memory Foam Cushion Brands
It could not be clever to choose the first cushion you see, or a details trademark name merely thought about that it is one you have actually continuously seen. Take into consideration developing a budget strategy, then having a look at for a collection of alternatives that fit. Continuously see simply exactly how each mattress contrasts in top-notch, benefit, and typically cost.
Concept 4: Know Where to Look for Deals
Typically, suppliers will absolutely launch one-of-a-kind deals that are simply swiftly provided using their website or e-mail e-newsletter. Evaluate usually for price cut price promo codes or signup for to get offer alerts from brand name you are considering (you can continuously unsubscribe in the future). On the net stores could give distinct price cut price voucher codes with their web websites (frequently look at the store's homepage for existing sales) or with Third party coupon internet site.

I finally understand the meaning of "Professional Consulting". Consulting by definition, is an act of providing opinion, advice and/or counsel to someone. Consultants are there to provide or recommend solution to problems.
After working with small/large businesses as NetSuite consultant, here are 4 things that I consider to be most important trait of Professional Consultant.
- Knowledge
Know your shit. How can you be a counsel without the knowledge? Don't bullshit your way into winning the contract, WIN the contract because you KNOW it!
- Humility
No matter what your cultural background is, humility is common element. As consultant, you get to work with many different people. Your job is to learn and understand their issues. Being humble gives you the opportunity to really understand THEIR ISSUES at personal level.
- Honesty
Be honest with your client from start to finish. Being humble as person who has vast knowledge (1 and 2 above) must be honest. Let clients know of risks and benefits from THEIR perspective, NOT yours.
- Availability
Be accessible to clients. Cell phone, email, text message, what ever means of communication it may be, BE THERE FOR THEM! Many consulting firms charges extra for this type of service. In my opinion, this should be standard service to client. Make sure they are taken care first and analysis of issue is provided to client before you mention money.
What it really comes down to is this. Consultants must be a guide. To consult is to help others grow.
CodeBox LLC is built on these 4 traits.

The call of God on the Christian's life can be frightening. We say we want to serve the Lord, and yet we pray "except" prayers. You know which ones I'm talking about; "Lord, I'll do anything and go anywhere you want me to except…" You can fill in the rest.
What we don't realize is that we when refuse His call, we are being disobedient to God. One of the most infamous acts of disobedience in the Bible is that of Jonah. God instructed Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach against the wickedness of that city. The Bible tells us:

How do you live your dash?
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning... to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
(1950 - 1999).
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars... the house... the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our "dash".
So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more,
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile...
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

A "vintage garden" look, a theme of "The Secret Garden" and creativity gives you some unique vantage points. Combine that with capturing genuine emotion on the faces of your subjects, and you have a recipe for success. That is exactly what happened when Melissa and Chef Craig were married at the Key West Garden Club, at the historic West Martello Tower, in Key West, Florida.
Melissa and Craig really cared for their wedding photography, and wanted to put some creative twist. It wasnt the traditional wedding that everyone else has. It was hidden, secluded and in a secret garden. Standing in the orchid room taking their vows, the first dance, the cake cutting were just a few things on their list.
Craig is the executive chef where Melissa started working. The first time she met him, he asked for her opinion for a new appetizer. Craig's passion for his craft caught her attention, and he fell immediately for her sophistication and style. He loved the way she captured a room when she entered. They have been dating for a year. Their favorite activities to do together are Kayaking, discovering great food and great wines, evening tea (after Sophia has gone to bed), and spending time with Sophia.

Suppliers of counterfeit medicine could face up to 12 years in jail
The MHRA (Medicine and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency) is consulting on proposals to strengthen legislation against counterfeit medicine. Current legislation is not deterring the sale of counterfeit medicine, particularly the sales of prescription medicine from illegal websites.
It is estimated 50% to 90% of medication bought over the web is non-genuine. It is certainly true to say the normal checks doctors carry out before they issue prescription medicine are not taking place when medicine is supplied on illegal websites, many based overseas. Read in full

click over here />Wouldn't seo reseller you like more traffic to come to your website? You might have to optimize your website. It can seem random, but it follows specific algorithms that find specific items on sites. Let us tell you what that is and how to optimize it.
The correct density of keywords is essential in SEO work. To avoid this from happening, keep the total number of keywords on a certain page under 20%.
SEO takes time, so you must be patient when you are trying to increase the search engine optimization for your site. Large changes in traffic volume will not immediately happen. On the contrary, it can take several months if your site is fairly new. Like the promotion of any brand, time needs to be taken to build brand awareness.
You should purchase a relevant domain name that will easily stick in people's heads. This is very useful for the people who discover you through YouTube because it is easy to remember.
Ask reputable companies such as non-profits to provide links to your web site. If you are linked to a valid business, search engines will take this into consideration when ranking your site. Always post interesting content that will draw links from other reputable sites. Do not fill your site with garbage. Make sure your site has value to others.
An important aspect of SEO is making a site map available on your site. This will make it easier for spiders to crawl on your site. If you have a large website, you might want to break your site map into multiple sections. One map should have less than 100 links.
Add a site map if you're trying to get more traffic. A site map can link your web pages together. This arrangement, with the links positioned along the side, will increase the volume of traffic that flows through your site.
Rather than a link exchange, consider an article exchange to boost your search engine rankings. Article exchanges are simply hosting an article by a different website along with a credit, a link to them and they reciprocate. This is better than link exchanges, since it involves getting fresh content.
Some owners of websites fail to proofread their content. Review your site carefully to be sure your copy is readable to search engines, while still enticing visitors to want to see more. Search engines are more likely to disregard your website or give it a low ranking if keywords are misspelled or your content contains a number of conspicuous grammatical errors.
Be sure to position your keywords within your site map. The purpose of the site map is to index the pages on your site, making it easier for search engine spiders, and viewers alike, to find important information. This will increase your search engine rankings, because this sort of tool that supports easy access is highly regarded by the search engine algorithms.
Think about what people would search for to find your site, and use those keywords often in your articles and throughout your web page. Add keywords to both your title tag and main content, but keep your keyword seo tips density to a sane level to avoid getting the dreaded 'keyword stuffer' label.
Keywords will help you improve the visibility of your sites. Search engines will more easily be able to find articles that contain relevant keywords. That, therefore, makes it easier for readers to find your articles. Make sure your chosen keyword is in the title of the what is seo services article as well as the summary. It should also occur about 4-5 times throughout article itself.
If using a shared server, you must ensure you're not located on a proxy which is shared with sites that are banned. Sharing proxies with sites that spam or banned sites will reflect negatively on you. You might not get the traffic you want because your ratings get the same negative ratings as the sites you share proxies with.
Use search engines to get more traffic. Make your website easy for spiders to crawl, in order to maximize your site's search engine ranking. Make sure you tag every images on your site, because the spiders can only understand text. It is beneficial to use descriptions that are rich in keywords.
It can be pretty surprising how important search engine optimization is. The tips shared here can really help with your SEO efforts. Make use of these tips to improve your website. You will notice results in a short amount of time.

When I chose to study abroad in Morocco, language was one of my primary considerations. After two and a half years of studying Arabic at UMW, I knew I wanted to go somewhere where I could continue studying it, and Morocco was my top choice. Though I knew communication would be a challenge, it was a challenge I was excited to meet and I could not wait to apply my intermediate level Arabic skills. Upon arriving in Morocco, I quickly learned that this was far more daunting than I had initially imagined. The Moroccan Arabic dialect is so different from classical Arabic that I could hardly understand a word, and the prospect of communicating with strangers seemed completely terrifying. Though I faced communication challenges throughout my abroad experience, I gradually learned ways to overcome my fears, make connections with Moroccan people, and feel more comfortable speaking in Arabic.
Here's what I learned:
- Push yourself! Speaking in a foreign language can be scary—it is one thing to practice speaking to your classmates and instructor in America, but it is an entirely different ball game when you have to communicate important information to someone who does not speak any English. In my first few days in Morocco, I felt uncomfortable even trying to say "thank you" in Arabic. Needless to say, I very soon realized that I had no choice but to step out of my comfort zone. I talked to shopkeepers, taxi drivers, and restaurant waiters—and guess what? I didn't die! In fact, some of my most meaningful interactions came when I pushed myself to speak to local people in their own language.
- Don't be afraid to sound like a 4-year-old. The only way to really improve your speaking skills is to practice, and sounding like a little kid is part of the process. Though I had taken Arabic before, my vocabulary was extremely limited and I found that grammar was just way too much to keep up with when conversing. At first I felt stupid trying to talk with my host family and other Moroccans in Arabic, but my life in Morocco became so much easier when I stopped caring about making mistakes and just tried my best. Most of the time, they could understand me even when my pronunciation and grammar were way off. A lot of Moroccans were impressed that I knew any Arabic at all and were overall very supportive and patient when I talked to them.
- Prepare to be humbled. During my time abroad, I had many interactions that left me feeling frustrated and discouraged. I was once trying on clothes in a store when a friendly employee asked if everything fit okay. In a panic, I forgot what country I was in and replied, "Si." Later, as I was checking out, the cashier was attempting to tell me the price of my purchase. Still feeling flustered, I had to have her repeat it several times, leading her to ask if I spoke any French. The previous employee quietly answered, saying in Arabic "no, she is Italian." I resisted the desire to run frantically out the door and finished the payment. I had these kinds of embarrassing interactions quite frequently, and though they are quite humbling at the time, they make for good stories later.
Dealing with a language barrier is a huge challenge, but if you push yourself to keep trying, you will improve tremendously and gain confidence in yourself and your abilities.

I understand some Americans are thinking of moving to Canada if the US allows Syrian refugees into their country. In light of that, I have some words for them.
My dear American friends:
If you are serious about moving to Canada because your government is planning to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into your country by the end of 2016, you might want to know that our government is bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015. Housing for immigrants, then, will be at a premium. And it is our intention to welcome them. You may have to wait in line. Sorry.
You won't qualify for our taxpayer funded health care system for a while; at least until you become a Permanent Resident. Marry a Canadian. Let them sponsor you as an immigrant. Allow a couple of years for paperwork. You could try applying for refugee status, but unless you face capital punishment in your own country, it would be a very long shot. Again, sorry about that.
Leave your guns at home. And don't even think once about "open carry" It's illegal and the police are quite strict about it. It's a Canadian thing and something we aren't sorry about.
Canada is a bilingual country. That's English and French. Your Spanish may be helpful, but if you speak Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Korean, Arabic, Tigre, Afar or Tagalog you will be at a decided advantage.
Do speak slowly as we become accustomed to your American accent. When you start ending your sentences with "eh?", you will be well on your way to becoming one of us.
Yes, we play baseball, football and, of course, hockey. Our baseball team, the Blue Jays, is quite good. If the baseball gods agree, they could be a World Series contender. We live in hope.
Learn the basics of hockey. You may not like the game, but it beats the hell out of invading other countries, taking down governments and then basing your army there. We invited the Russians here during the Cold War and beat them. We have beaten your hockey team in Olympic competition. It is our game and we are quite good at it. Sorry for the prideful moment.
You will hear of something called the Maple Leafs. They are, allegedly, a hockey team in the NHL. I say "allegedly", because there are an awful lot of Canadians who believe they are not a hockey team but a perpetual excuse for charging high ticket prices to see bad hockey in Toronto. But their fans live in hope, too.
Our football is also different. The field is bigger and our players are, by and large, not quite the NFL, but they play a good entertaining game with some rule differences. Learn them.
There are many other things you will have to become accustomed to. Poutine is an acquired taste, but worth it. Our beer is stronger than what you are used to, so be careful. Do pick up your litter and enjoy the weather. Put snow tires on your car. It will save you money on insurance and could save your life.
Welcome to Canada. We like it. We hope you do, too.
Rev. David Shearman is a retired United Church minister in Owen Sound and the host of Faithworks on Rogers TV - Grey County.

The Hudson Bay Lowland is the Earth's largest more or less continuous temperate wetland landscape. Occupying 3.5% of the surface area of Canada, or 325 000 km2, it is five times larger than the floodplain forests along the Amazon River. The Hudson Bay Lowland is one of the least populated regions in the western hemisphere, and among the last regions of North America to have its flora and vegetation documented. This book documents 816 native and 95 non-native vascular plants in the context of the distinct geological history and ecology of the area. The text and annotated checklist are complemented by distribution maps and colour illustrations.

A note from your camp staff ……
The Christian Adventure Canoe Camp is independently sponsored and organized by St Martin's UCC, Dittmer. However, we welcome all youth to join us in the adventure! We have been involved in canoe camp at Shannondale for over 20 years. In fact it was life-long members of STM UCC, Hugo and Jeannie Kramme, who helped to start this camp because of their love for Shannondale and the residents of the area. They felt it was important for our young people to experience this beautiful land God had created and to meet the special people who live there and are care takers of the river and wood. While most of our time will be spent on the river, we hope to spend some time around the area visiting with the residents, getting to know these great artisans by their items sold at the Craft Center. Evening activities may include a visit to the Current River State Park, cave exploring, hiking, camp fires and vespers. Our staff look forward to this trip every year and don't feel summer is complete without a visit to Shannondale.
We look forward to another great camp and invite old and new friends to join us!

What is 9th Grader?
A freshman in high school who thinks they are the shit because they have just come from Jr. High where they were the oldest of the group. These people are arogant and cocky when they have no right to be. These are the lowest of the low when it comes to the high school scale. They can be descent people if they respect their upper classmen.
I hate all of these dumbass 9th graders that think they rule the school.

Happiness: the US/EU visa waiver program: three months without a visa!
Sadness: the US/EU visa waiver program: *only* three months without a visa.
As my days in Europe are nearly up, I head back to the US again today. It's always a sad goodbye, but I think I get better at it every time. Instead of thinking about living alone, I think about how cozy my Wisconsin apartment is in the wintertime. Instead of thinking of making tex-mex dinners together with Wout, I think about the plentiful and cheap tex-mex on offer from any number of 'lekker' establishments. Instead of thinking about missing Wout, I think about how much I've missed my friends.
It isn't better than life together, but there is certainly a silver lining.
When will we have the technology to pick up and move cities so Madison and Amsterdam can be neighbors?

My philosophy
My Philosophy
I say;
Fuck art -I'm art.
My reasoning is that having now completed fifty-nine orbits of the sun, I have sufficient wisdom to resolve that whatever I create or make is a result of contemporary influence and what is happening in my life and what is happening in the world.
It follows therefore that whatever I make or create belongs to humanity because humanity has influenced the creation.
I create and make items for other humans to see and touch and feel and enjoy.
I merely own the materials that make up the physical mass of the object and I paid for the facilities and equipment to make it.
I love everything I create. Like my children, I like to see and admire them.
Therefore if you would like to take away any item from me to keep it close to you for your own personal enjoyment, you would have to pay me money to do so, in order that I can afford to make and create another piece.
When I teach and share a technique with you, I have no secrets. It gives me the greatest satisfaction to know that what you will create or make from what you have learned will be better and greater than what I could ever dream of.
For someone to assume they own a particular technique is the materialistic mentality of a corporation and simply the product of greed and avarice, at the very least the sign of an amateur artistic temprament.
The truth is that when you die, you will only need a piece of ground one metre by two metres. You don't own the ground, but you are a part of it. In your passing, I wish you kindness in life and courage in death.

Investors continue to pour more more money into ETFs, even as they shift their focus away from riskier Emerging Markets and into more conservative bond ETFs. That's the news from State Street Global Advisors, which just released its latest Snapshot report tracking ETF funds.
"The most striking thing to me, in looking at the report covering the first quarter of 2011, is that were still seeing steady growth in ETF investment, despite all the turbulence in the world and in financial markets," says Tom Anderson, VP and head of strategy and research at State Street Global Investors. "People don't seem to be moving away from ETFs."
Indeed not. Over the past four years, ETFs have consistently seen an annual inflow of $100 billion, and with the first quarter of 2011 showing an inflow of another $25 billion--$20.9 billion of that coming in March alone--this investment vehicle appears headed to make it a fifth year of such growth.
Investors are shifting their focus, however.
In 2010, the big thing was emerging markets, with large-cap ETFs actually experiencing outflows. That reversed course in 2011 with investors pulling out $5.2 billion in assets in the first quarter. "Some of that I think was profit-taking," says Anderson, "and some of it was, I think, fear of contagion from the volatility in the Middle East.
Interestingly, after being shunned by investors in 2010, developed market ETFs representing countries in Europe and Japan, drew considerable investor interest, with net inflows in the first quarter of 2011 totaling almost $12 billion--an indication that investors are regaining confidence in the Euro. Anderson adds that investment in Japan seems to be picking up since the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear plant disaster, "probably on the theory that there will be a lot of investment there for rebuilding," says Anderson.
The other three areas showing the biggest net inflows during the first quarter of 2011 were large-cap ETFs, up $6.9 billion, and fixed-income ETFs, up $6.4 billion, and energy ETFs, up $5.9 billion.
"The overall growth in ETF investment is still being driven by investors becoming better informed about the products," says Anderson. "Once institutional investors start using ETFs, they generally decide to use more, and individual investors see them as a low-cost way to access things like commodities, gold, dividend stocks and the like."
In terms of performance, the top performing asset class among ETFs for the first quarter of 2011 was the S&P GSCI index, up 11.6%, followed by the S~&P mid-cap, up 9.4%, and S&P small cap, up 7.7%.
