Signs & Plaques
M22987- Carved 3D Wood Appliques (Mountain Lion, Wolves, Bears)
This page shows the designs of an Mountain Lion (Cougar), a Timber Wolf, Alaskan Brown Bears, carved from wood or HDU, which can be placed into any of our signs or plaque. These carved predators (Cougar(A), Wolf ((B )and (C)), and Alaskan Brown Bear catching Salmon(D), can be put on any HDU or wood sign of sufficient size.
These appliques are carved from either HDU or wood of various types, and have exquisite detail and finish quality. Their design can be modified. They are hand-sanded and hand-painted. For wood, including Mahogany, they can be stained and clear-coated. For HDU, they can be artist-brush painted their natural colors (your choice) in multi-color enamels, or alternatively, gold, silver or copper-leaf gilded in HDU. One of these only increases the cost of the sign by $50 to $75, depending on size and finish. A carved 3D sculpture will make your sign unique and attractive at a budget price.
To see other carved 3D wood or High-Density-Urethane (HDU) art pieces for signs suitable for lake and mountain homes & businesses, including wild animal, bird, fish, trees and scenes carved wood art, and our cabin and cottage wood & HDU signs, please click on Gallery 21- Lake and Mountain Homes & Businesses.

According to the California law, terrorist threats refer to an action of threatening to harm someone physically or kill them. Whether or not the threatened person follows through, making such threats is in itself an offense under California law. If you are found guilty of terrorist threats in Beloit, you might find yourself suffering serious penalties including a restraining order, criminal probation, fines and jail time. Due to the serious nature of the penalties associated with these charges, it is important to get the help of an attorney when accused of these crimes. An experienced terrorist threat lawyer will help you get a better understanding of your rights and options that you have.
A terrorist threat is defined by the California Penal Code Section 422 as a person who threatens to do a crime that will lead to great bodily injury or death to another individual, with the particular intention that the statement, made in writing, verbally or through an electronic communication gadget.
According to the law, such communication is considered a terrorist or criminal threats, even though the person who made it did not intend to mean whatever the spoken words, mail or letter says. The victim of a criminal threat is in constant fear and agony as they are not sure of their own safety or that of their loved ones, which include parents, siblings, children and spouse.
According to this law, an "electronic communication gadget" refers to, but not limited to cell phone, video recorders, pagers, fax machines, computer and phone. A person convicted of making criminal or terrorist threats may suffer severe penalty including jail time and fines. It is for this reason that you require the assistance of an attorney if you find yourself facing these charges.
To be convicted of a terrorist or criminal threat, the prosecution has to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the victim was in fact fearful; prove that the fear experienced by the victim was reasonable; and prove that the fear was sustained, which means that it has to have lasted for some period of time.
In case the threat that you made wasn't specific and clear, you might not be convicted of this crime. Additionally, if the threat did not instill fear on the victim, you are likely not to be convicted. And, if the victim was irrationally fearful, you might not be convicted. In some cases, the threats get isolated as free speech. For instance, when a member of the public has an emotional and angry outcry at a public gathering, that kind of speech might be protected.
If the terrorist threats are incriminated as a felony, a conviction can be termed a "strike" under the California "Three Strikes Law". In case it is the third severe felony to be convicted of, with two previous "strikes", you will do at least of twenty five years to life imprisonment in a state jail. Do not allow this action to happen to you or someone you love. Get in touch with experienced criminal defense attorney Robert E. Levy in Beloit to discuss the charges facing you.

I'm in discussion with a couple of other absinthe lovers about some changes to the Real Absinthe Blog.
This follows an ongoing discussion at the Wormwood Society about creating an Absinthe Magazine which combines news, the continued drive for higher standards in the market place (no more thujone-hyping or ultimate panty dropper advertising, please), reviews of a wider range of absinthes, and arts-related coverage. This blog seems to be well-placed to evolve into an online magazine ... not that we envisage high advertising revenues or subscription fees!
We are still discussing details but if any of my readers have any suggestions or comments, feel free to add them below.

The Real Absinthe Blog is changing ...

If that web-magazine turns into a print magazine on Absinthe, let me know: frustrated designer/art director here, with a love of the topic... And true, I don't expect it would drive tons of advertising dollars, but then, the best things in life aren't always the path to riches. Great site, by the way.

The Mindy Project
Few episodes could live up to the last one before the holiday break, "Christmas Party Sex Trap," with all of its "Santa Baby" singing, Aaliyah dancing, and happy(ish) ending. But 2014's first episode proved a worthy follow-up, with Mindy pursuing a relationship with Cliff, the guy she finally snared at the end of the Christmas party with a romantic kiss on the roof. It hit The Mindy Project's rom-com sweet spot, advanced the plot, and, as ever, dashed off one-liners with abandon. Here, the highlights:
A Bikini in January
Women love this show because Mindy's so much more, as we say in TV land, "relatable" than the Carrie Bradshaws of the world. To make a plot, our heroine needs no more terrifyingly insurmountable problem than the prospect of wearing a bikini in January on a weekend getaway with Cliff. (I hope we get to see the getaway — I can imagine shades of Bridget Jones's "mini-break.") This kicks off a series of eating jokes and visuals (Mindy walking around the office eating a leaf of romaine) that feel more grounded than your average I'm-so-fat bits:
"What? I don't want coffee cake. I'm still full from that chia seed I had last night."
"Guys, over the holidays, I had like five hams and a goose. I am a wolf in a children's story."
And my favorite: "I'm not wearing a skirted bathing suit like a woman who's just given up on life!"
Sex Without Nudity
Though Cliff has been "like UTI-level getting up in them guts" with Mindy, he hasn't really seen her naked. Mindy has developed a patentable series of techniques to hide her body from her lovers, including lingering in candle shadows and pretending she's really into blindfolds. This is something of a revelation from a woman who often parades around clothed with Beyoncé-level bravado, and it's a nice step toward cracking her façade. If I may read too much into things, it strikes me as particularly telling that by the end of the episode, Danny has accidentally seen her naked twice — which makes them more intimate than she has been with any of her boyfriends. In any case, after a fizzled attempt at hiring Morgan to be her trainer, Mindy cajoles the fit Danny into whipping her into shape: "I want to be so hot that Cliff would date me even if I had a bad personality."
Danny's Villain-Lair Gym
Danny works out at one of those grimy old gyms full of barbells and punching bags — which is perfect. "This place didn't even let women in until Manhattan went Tina Fey crazy in 2002," he explains. Mindy counters, "I don't know how I'm going to lose ten pounds. There're no ellipticals or TVs with Bravo on them." Even her workoutwear is wrong for this place (or possibly any place): She's wearing what appears to be a sweater with her leggings (though the rhinestone embellishments won't come off if you sweat!) and Fatsteps Ultrawide shoes. ("Chris Christie wears them on the campaign trail.") Eventually, though, Danny hits on a brilliant way to motivate Mindy, by evoking the celebrities-in-peril and red-carpet imagery she most responds to. "Michael Fassbender's trapped in a well … Anne Hathaway's trapped under a car …" She even does a full set of pushups (not the girly kind on her knees) thanks to an elaborate story about tripping on the red carpet on the way to the Golden Globes, where she's nominated for Best Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie … though she eventually fictionally loses to Stockard Channing. Of course.
Naked Steam-Room Party
Through a series of misunderstandings (the door is marked "girls only" even though it's co-ed, etc.), Danny and Mindy end up in the steam room together with only one towel between them. Then her hair gets caught in his watch, and there is maneuvering and falling on the floor and views we can only imagine by the big crescendo, when Mindy ends up lying face up directly underneath a standing Danny. It's all very The Proposal, and I am willing to suspend all disbelief just for this new level of sexual tension between Danny and Mindy. We even get a second shot at it when the office owl (just go with it) terrorizes Mindy while she's checking herself out behind her closed door. (Again, just go with it.) This time, there's no steam to obscure the view when he bursts in to see why she's screaming.
A Million Latex Gloves
In the perfectly serviceable subplot of the week, Jeremy falls ill and Peter takes over as the office manager to expectedly disastrous results. The aforementioned owl ends up in the office when he opens the window because the heat is blasting too high. Tamra and Morgan fight over the big, L-shaped desk in Phlebotomy, which is just a funny word to say. And Tamra accidentally orders a million latex gloves instead of a thousand, causing Peter to go off the deep end. Two payoffs here: One, when Peter heads to Jeremy's apartment for advice, we see that the British playboy is fully back from his adventures in depression and weight struggle — he's got two model types "nursing" him back to health. Two, we get another glimpse of Tamra's rich out-of-office life when she storms away and directly to Tino the eyebrow threader. Also, she watches Sleepy Hollow. ("Who's that main guy? Frasier Crane?")
"You're a Woman and That's Good."
When Danny kept wanting to give Mindy a few pointers on her body after seeing it naked, and she kept resisting, we could see where it was headed: He was going to tell her she's great the way she is. It's a testament to the character and the actor, however, that he sold it so well. Of course a salt-of-the-earth guy like Danny Castellano would go to a seedy gym and would genuinely feel it when he tells Mindy, "Don't suck in your stomach so much. You're a woman and that's good. Look like a woman." Oh, and also, he's down with the return-of-pubes trend: "Just grow it out. No one wants a 9-year-old."
That sound you hear is women everywhere cancelling their next wax.

Hi Friends!
Today is a big day here in Columbus. A new grocery store is opening and I am SO EXCITED about it! It's called Earth Fare and it's known as "The Healthy Supermarket". Yesterday, the hubby and I had the privilege of getting a little sneak peek into the store on the day before it opened. We were given a tour and I took lots of pictures.
This store is a great representation of what I believe about food. Check out their mission statement: "To feed and inspire the healthy person inside you". I mean really, could that BE any more up my alley? Their food philosophy is also amazing: All the foods in their store are free of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and sweeteners. There are no trans fats, no antibiotics or growth hormones in the meat or dairy and no products that contain high fructose corn syrup.
The bulk section is amazing. Tons of nuts, seeds, grains, baking supplies and trail mixes. I was in heaven. They also have a grind your own nut butter section AND a bulk liquid section with honey and agave (SO COOL!). They provide containers but also allow you to bring your own containers. They can tare them for you at the customer service counter and reuse to your heart's content!
All over the store they have special spotlight displays with items that are on sale or a collection of great finds or staff favorites that change monthly. They also have a large section of prepared foods. We spotted some pre-made sweet potato & black bean quesadillas that we are dying to try! And they're all about letting you try their products. If you see something you want to try before you buy it, just ask a team member and they'll open up a package for you.
They make it easy for gluten-free shoppers by gathering a lot of GF products and putting them on one section of shelves, marked by wooden rows of shelving instead of metal for easy identification. There are gluten-free products throughout the store marked with special tags, but these sections of shelving make it easy to find a lot of GF products all in one place.
They also have a self-serve fresh juice machine and a scoop your own freshly-made pasta section, which may or may not have been the highlight of the whole tour for me!
In the cafe section, you'll find pizza by the slice, a hot food bar, a cold food bar and an olive bar. They also have a drink bar with kombucha on tap! Oh, and the slicer they have to slice your meats and cheese is totally old-school and cranked by hand just like the original ones used to be.
You can sign-up on their website to get weekly coupon emails, or set it up so they come straight to your phone.
Earth Fare also believes in building community. They have a community events calendar on display by door:
On Tuesdays they go back to the Good Old Days:
On Wednesdays they do a Sips and Snacks food & wine tasting.
And every Thursday night, kids eat free:
I have literally been waiting MONTHS for this store to open, so you know I'll be there doing some shopping today. They were even nice enough to provide me with a giftcard to get me started. If you're lucky enough to live near an Earth Fare location- there are stores in North Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Florida and Kentucky–stay tuned because on Saturday I'll be back to show you what I bought during my first trip to Earth Fare and a you'll have a chance to win a $50 Earth Fare giftcard of your very own!

Mind refers to the collective aspects of intellect and consciousness which are manifest in thought, perception, emotion, will and imagination.
- Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: —
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.
- James Allen, As A Man Thinketh (1902).
- Variant: Mind is the Master Power that molds and makes, And we are mind. And ever more we take the tool of thought, and shaping what we will, bring forth a thousand joys, or a thousand ills. We think in secret, and it comes to pass, environment, is but our looking glass
- James Allen, As A Man Thinketh (1902).
- A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
- James Allen, As A Man Thinketh (1902).
- Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny.
- James Allen, in: Libraries: A Monthly Review of Library Matters and Methods, 1909, p. 208
- Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone itself by itself.
- Anaxagoras, Frag. B 12 from Early Greek Philosophy, Chapter 6, John Burnet (1920).
- It is the nature of the mind that makes individuals kin, and the differences in the shape, form or manner of the material atoms out of whose intricate relationships that mind is built are altogether trivial.
- Isaac Asimov, The Beginning and the End (1977) as quoted in Todd Siler, Breaking the Mind Barrier (1997).
- There is good evidence for a sensorimotor self, an emotional and motivational self probably represented in the right hemisphere, a social self-system, and perhaps an appetitive self. All these self-systems ordinarily work in reasonable coordination with each other, though they can be in conflict at times.

- They scare me more than any other fictional creature out there because they break all the rules. Werewolves and vampires and mummies and giant sharks, you have to go look for them. My attitude is if you go looking for them, no sympathy. But zombies come to you. Zombies don't act like a predator; they act like a virus, and that is the core of my terror. A predator is intelligent by nature, and knows not to overhunt its feeding ground. A virus will just continue to spread, infect and consume, no matter what happens. It's the mindlessness behind it.
- Max Brooks Lance Eaton (October 2, 2006). "Zombies Spreading like a Virus: PW Talks with Max Brooks". Interview. Publishers Weekly. Retrieved January 15, 2009
- The lack of rational thought has always scared me when it came to zombies, the idea that there is no middle ground, no room for negotiation. That has always terrified me. Of course that applies to terrorists, but it can also apply to a hurricane, or flu pandemic, or the potential earthquake that I grew up with living in L.A. Any kind of mindless extremism scares me, and we're living in some pretty extreme times.
- Max Brooks (October 6, 2006). "Zombie Wars". Washington Post. Retrieved September 19, 2008.
- Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.
Whatever a mother, father or other kinsman might do for you, the well-directed mind can do for you even better.
- Such as take lodgings in a head
That's to be let unfurnished.

And proved it,—'Twas no matter what he said.

Should let itself be snuff'd out by an article.
- Lord Byron, Don Juan (1818-24), Canto XI, Stanza 60.
- The mind which does not have a place to turn or any stable base will undergo change from hour to hour and from minute to minute due to the variety of its distractions. ... By the things that come to it from outside it will be continually transformed.

- The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system.

- Each of us knows exactly one mind from the inside, and no two of us know the same mind from the inside.
- Daniel C. Dennett, Kinds Of Minds: Toward An Understanding Of Consciousness (2008).
- The scientific course is to put the burden of proof on the attribution. As a scientist, you can't just declare, for instance, that the presence of glutamate molecules amounts to the presence of mind; you have to prove it, against a background in which the "null hypothesis" is that mind is not present. There is substantial disagreement among scientists as to which species have what sorts of mind, but even those scientists who are the most ardent champions of consciousness in animals accept this burden of proof—and think they can meet it, by devising and confirming theories that show which animals are conscious. But no such theories are yet confirmed, and in the meantime we can appreciate the discomfort of those who see this agnostic, wait-and-see policy as jeopardizing the moral status of creatures that they are sure are conscious.
- Daniel C. Dennett, Kinds Of Minds: Toward An Understanding Of Consciousness (2008).
- Minds are the ultimate terra incognita, beyond the reach of all science and—in the case of languageless minds—beyond all empathetic conversation as well. So what? A little humility ought to temper our curiosity. Don't confuse ontological questions (about what exists) with epistemological questions (about how we know about it). We must grow comfortable with this wonderful fact about what is off-limits to inquiry.
- Daniel C. Dennett, Kinds Of Minds
- Another prospect to consider is that among the creatures who lack language, there are some who do not have minds at all, but do everything "automatically" or "unconsciously." …We may never be able to tell where to draw the line between those creatures that have minds and those that do not, but this is just another aspect of the unavoidable limitations on our knowledge. Such facts may be systematically unknowable, not just hard to uncover.
- Daniel C. Dennett, Kinds Of Minds
- The differences between minds might be... like the differences between languages, or styles of music or art—inexhaustible in the limit, but approachable to any degree of approximation you like. But the difference between having a mind and not having a mind at all—being something with its own subjective point of view and being something that is all outside and no inside, like a rock or a discarded sliver of fingernail—is apparently an all-or-nothing difference.
- Daniel C. Dennett, Kinds Of Minds
- Minds are like parachutes: they only function when open.
- Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar, Quoted in Giovanni Graziadei, Gestione della produzione industriale, Hoepli, Milano, 2004, p. 65. ISBN 88-203-3395-3. May be a bit questionable.
- It appears that the tendency of mind to infiltrate and control matter is a law of the universe. Individual minds die and individual planets may be destroyed. But... The infiltration of mind into the universe will not be permanently halted by any catastrophe or by any barrier that I can imagine. If our species does not choose to lead the way, others will do so, or may have already done so. If our species is extinguished, others will be wiser or luckier. Mind is patient. Mind has waited for 3 billion years before composing its first string quartet.
- Freeman Dyson, Infinite in All Directions (1988)
- I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.
- Freeman Dyson, Infinite in All Directions (1988)
- Matter in quantum mechanics is not an inert substance but an active agent, constantly making choices between alternative possibilities according to probabilistic laws. ...It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every electron. ...Our brains appear to be devices for the amplification of the mental component of the quantum choices made by molecules inside our heads. ...There is evidence from peculiar features of the laws of nature that the universe as a whole is hospitable to the growth of mind. ...an extension of the Anthropic Principle up to a universal scale.
- Freeman Dyson, Infinite in All Directions (1988)
- Mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience; all else is remote inference.
- Arthur Eddington, Science and the Unseen World (1929)
- However closely we may associate thought with the physical machinery of the brain, the connection is dropped as irrelevant as soon as we consider the fundamental property of thought—that it may be correct or incorrect. ...that involves recognising a domain of the other type of law—laws which ought to be kept, but may be broken.
- Arthur Eddington, Science and the Unseen World (1929)
- When the object of sense is very violent, it injures sense at once, so that sense, after its occurrence, cannot immediately discern its weaker objects. Thus extreme brightness offends the eye, and a very loud noise offends the ears. Mind, however, is otherwise; by its most excellent object it is neither injured nor ever confused. Nay, rather, after this object is known, it distinguishes inferior things at once more clearly and more truly.
- Marsilio Ficino, Five Questions Concerning the Mind (1495) as translated by J. L. Burroughs in The Renaissance Philosophy of Man (1948).
- Our best scientific theory about the mind is better than empiricism; but, in all sorts of ways, it's still not very good.
- Jerry Fodor, "The Trouble with Psychological Darwinism" London Review of Books, Vol. 20 No. 2, 22 January 1998, pp.11-13.
- Science does progress toward more adequate understanding of the empirical world, but no pristine, objective reality lies "out there" for us to capture as our technologies improve and our concepts mature. The human mind is both an amazing instrument and a fierce impediment—and the mind must be interposed between observation and understanding. Thus we will always "see" with the aid (or detriment) of conventions. All observation is a partnership between mind and nature, and all good partnerships require compromise. The mind, we trust, will be constrained by a genuine external reality; this reality, in turn, must be conveyed to the brain by our equally imperfect senses, all jury-rigged and cobbled together by that maddeningly complex process known as evolution.
- Stephen Jay Gould, "Last Snails and Right Minds," Dinosaur in a Haystack: Reflections in Natural History (1995)
- Mind is mysterious and has myriad appearances. It cannot be identified in the way external objects can. It has no shape, form or colour. This mere clear awareness is of the nature of experience and feeling. It is something like colored water—although the water is not of the same nature as the color, so long as they are mixed, the true color of the water is not obvious. Similarly, the mind does not have the nature of external objects such as physical form, and so forth. However the mind is so habituated to following the five sensory consciousnesses that it becomes almost indistinguishable from the physical form, shape, color and so forth, that it experiences.
- Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, Stages of Meditation, p. 144.
- Your life doesn't get any better than your mind is: You might have wonderful friends, perfect health, a great career, and everything else you want, and you can still be miserable. The converse is also true: There are people who basically have nothing—who live in circumstances that you and I would do more or less anything to avoid—who are happier than we tend to be because of the character of their minds. Unfortunately, one glimpse of this truth is never enough. We have to be continually reminded of it.
- Sam Harris, Taming the Mind (12 April 2014).
- The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter—not of course our individual minds, but the mind in which the atoms out of which our individual minds have grown exist as thoughts.
- James Jeans The Mysterious Universe (1934) p. 177, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 1108005667.
- "Some," answered Imlac, "have indeed said that the soul is material, but I can scarcely believe that any man has thought it, who knew how to think; for all the conclusions of reason enforce the immateriality of mind, and all the notices of sense and investigations of science, concur to prove the unconsciousness of matter.
- Samuel Johnson, The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia (1759) Ch. 48.
- [Imlac continues] "It was never supposed that cogitation is inherent in matter, or that every particle is a thinking being. Yet, if any part of matter be devoid of thought, what part can we suppose to think? Matter can differ from matter only in form, density, bulk, motion, and direction of motion: to which of these, however varied or combined, can consciousness be annexed? To be round or square, to be solid or fluid, to be great or little, to be moved slowly or swiftly one way or another, are modes of material existence, all equally alien from the nature of cogitation. If matter be once without thought, it can only be made to think by some new modification, but all the modifications which it can admit are equally unconnected with cogitative powers."
- Samuel Johnson, The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia (1759) Ch. 48.
- I believe that the mind may make its own immortality: thought is the spiritual part of existence; and so long as my mind influences others, so long as my thoughts remain behind, so long shall my spirit be conscious and immortal. The body may perish—not so the essence which survives in the living and lasting page.
- Letitia Elizabeth Landon Heath's Book of Beauty, 1833 (1832), spoken by Lee in 'Rebecca'
- In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the mind, there are no limits... In the province of connected minds, what the network believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the network's mind there are no limits.
- John C. Lilly The Human Biocomputer (1974).
- The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation, or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
- H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu (1926).
- With knowledge you attract minds and with good manners you attract hearts.
- He who has a mind to understand, let him understand.

- Nothing exists outside Mind. Everything that appears in your thoughts is Mind itself. This Mind is all pervading. All dharmas, all things, all phenomenon—all are nothing but Mind.

- The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
- John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book I, line 254.
- Some form of self-awareness is surely essential to highly intelligent thought... On the other hand, I doubt that any part of a mind can see very deeply into other parts; it can only use models it constructs of them.
- Marvin Minsky, "K-Linesː A Theory of Memory" Cognitive Science 4, pp.117-133 (1980).
- The mind holds tightly to its secrets not from stinginess or shame, but simply because it does not know them.
- Marvin Minsky, "Music, Mind, and Meaning" (1981).
- Each agent needs to know which of its servants can do what, but as to how, that information has no place or use inside those tiny minds inside our minds.
- Marvin Minsky, "Music, Mind, and Meaning" (1981).
- The nature of mind: much of its power seems to stem from just the messy ways its agents cross-connect. ... It's only what we must expect from evolution's countless tricks.
- Marvin Minsky, The Society of Mind (1988) Prologue.
- Good theories of the mind must span at least three different scales of time: slow, for the billions of years in which our brains have survivied; fast, for the fleeting weeks and months of childhood; and in between, the centuries of growth of our ideas through history.
- Marvin Minsky, The Society of Mind (1988) Ch. 1.
- Mind has come up with this brilliant way of looking at the world — science — but it can't look at itself. Science has no place for the mind. The whole of our science is based upon empirical, repeatable experiments. Whereas thought is not in that category, you can't take thought into a laboratory. The essential fact of our existence, perhaps the only fact of our existence – our own thought and perception is ruled off-side by the science it has invented. Science looks at the universe, doesn't see itself there, doesn't see mind there, so you have a world in which mind has no place. We are still no nearer to coming to terms with the actual dynamics of what consciousness is.

- Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But, if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.
- All our dignity consists then in thought. By it we must elevate ourselves, and not by space and time which we cannot fill. Let us endeavor to think well; this is the principle of morality.

- That which possesses discriminating awareness, that which possesses a sense of duality—which grasps or rejects something external—that is mind. Fundamentally it is that which can associate with an 'other'—with a 'something', that is perceived as different from the perceiver.
- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, The Heart of the Buddha (1991), p. 23.
- The mind within the senses does not dwell, It has no place in outer things, like form, And in between, the mind does not abide;
Not out, not in, not elsewhere can the mind be found.
Something not within the body, and yet nowhere else, That does not merge with it nor stand apart—
Something such as this does not exist, not even slightly. Beings have nirvana in their nature.
- Shantideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara), Chapter 9 verse 102--103, Shambala Publications ISBN 1-57062-253-1.
- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play
- Theodore Sturgeon, "Shore Leave", Star Trek: The Original Series (aired December 29, 1966), spoken by Captain Kirk.
- If the mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few.
- Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind; p. 21.
- Because our minds need to reduce information, we are more likely to try to squeeze a phenomenon into the Procrustean bed of a crisp and known category (amputating the unknown), rather than suspend categorization, and make it tangible. Thanks to our detections of false patterns, along with real ones, what is random will appear less random and more certain—our overactive brains are more likely to impose the wrong, simplistic, narrative than no narrative at all.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms (2010) Postface, p. 105.
- Emphatically did the Buddha proclaim again and again that man is in full possession of all the resources needed for self-help. The most simple and most comprehensive way in which he spoke about these resources is this method of Satipaṭṭhāna. Its essence may be compressed into two words: "Be mindful!" That means: Be mindful of your own mind! And why? Mind harbours all: the world of suffering and its origin, but also ill's final cessation and the path to it. Whether one or the other will be predominant depends again on our own mind, on the direction that the flux of mind receives through this very moment of mind-activity that faces us just now. Satipaṭṭhāna, always dealing with this crucial present moment of mind activity, must necessarily be a teaching of self-reliance. But self-reliance must be gradually developed, because men, knowing not how to handle the tool of the mind, have become used to leaning on others and on habit; and, owing to that, this splendid tool, the human mind, has in fact become unreliable through neglect.
- Nyanaponika Thera, The Heart of Buddhist Meditation (1965), pp. 78-79.
- Many people live with a tormentor in their head that continuously attacks and punishes them and drains them of vital energy. It is the cause of untold misery and unhappiness, as well as of disease. The good news is that you can free yourself from your mind. This is the only true liberation. You can take the first step right now. Start listening to the voice in your head as often as you can. Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns, those old gramophone records that have been playing in your head perhaps for many years. This is what I mean by "watching the thinker," which is another way of saying: listen to the voice in your head, be there as the witnessing presence. When you listen to that voice, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. Do not judge or condemn what you hear, for doing so would mean that the same voice has come in again through the back door. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.
- Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose,(Full text) p. 17, (2005)
- The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency; otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster. I will talk about this in more detail later. Thinking and consciousness are not synonymous. Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought. Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back to a level below thought, the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before.
- Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, p. 20, (2005)
- Most humans are still in the grip of the egoic mode of consciousness: identified with their mind and run by their mind. If they do not free themselves from their mind in time, they will be destroyed by it. They will experience increasing confusion, conflict, violence, illness, despair, madness. Egoic mind has become like a sinking ship. If you don't get off, you will go down with it. The collective egoic mind is the most dangerously insane and destructive entity ever to inhabit this planet.

- Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song, and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken.

- No scientist has yet provided an acceptable definition of "mind" or "mental" that reveals the character of "unconscious mental processes," and no physicist a lucid definition of "elementary particles" that shows how they can appear or disappear, and why there are so many.

- The material particle or the conscious mind—has been discovered not to be sufficiently unchanging to be treated as a thing in isolation... but more often to be the opposite: a changing system in a changing environment.

Breaker, Breaker Lyrics
Artist: Genius/GZA
Album: Beneath the Surface
[Chorus: GZA]
Breaker, breaker, one nine, clear the line
Can you read me? Extorted your rhymes
MC's should expect the worst
I stay alert and shoot first
This is not a test, it's difficulty
Picture closely, the ignorant mostly
Blind, deaf, dumb, your mind left numb
Lost soul who failed to hear the roll of the drum
In the bottom of your bomb shelter, still felt the
heavy blast that blew off the masks of twelve welders
The math of an elder, praise the Lord - thank you Genius
Operation: Project English
Commander-n-chief of flight style, check the aircraft
Glide like the frisbee, Digi look Disney
To check fault in oneself is pure loveliness
You break the mirror that remind you of your ugliness
So when I bust, no one is untouched
Some returning with the mic clutched, like such
who plan but never execute
He had the heat in his hand, but yo he didn't shoot
Therefore; your mechanism of material better be sickly
or let your lead spread incredibly quickly
I move bravely, travellin on a horse
on the battlefield, surrounded by the lost
of those who plotted with the brains of animals
My high molecular structure be untangible
The name ring a bell, killable two syllable
The Wu is comin through, the outcome is critical
To be blunt, the beef was cooked up like coke goods
The rhyme first came to me in the oak woods
Up to no good, rap icon
"Milk" the industry like the Wall Street junk bond
You see the bright stone, I got your height sewn
Direct current, that move through the mic-phone
Key contributor, well known major factor
Rhyme distributor, the drive of a tractor
who run ya down if you don't wanna move or wanna linger {*echoes*}
Chorus: repeat 2X
The immortality of my fame is the measure of other's torture
Burnt offer, from a flamin author
The falconer who flies enough birds for the chase
Strictly excel in what is excellence with grace
The significance was not the vulgar applause of interest
but the feelin that exit, completion of a sentence
With age and experience, my reason ripens
I strike on you Vikings, slash like a hyphen
If you enter the house of fortune by the gate of pleasure
You will leave by sorrow, the flow measures
everything fails with the unfortunate
Learned that recordin it, so my mind broaden it
Track records, ranks us, with the exceptional
Extreme complex physics, high technical
The truth is usually seen and rarely heard
What's more dangerous than hatred, is the word
You wild cards, Jack of all trades
Those who parade their positions, show their Spades
A large flock of MC's, they figure to be taught
It ain't hard to see why I'm vigorously saught
Chorus: repeat 2X
[Outro: GZA]
Breaker, breaker, one nine
Breaker, breaker, one nine

I have been obsessed with making envelopes lately! I sell my card at local shops and I always scramble to make envelopes at the last-minute, well no more I tell you, now I make them when I make my card while I still have all of the supplies out 🙂 I have wanted to try printing my stamps on envelopes but I can never seem to get a good result printing on a premade envie so I made a 300 dpi template that you can layer your stamps on, print and cut! I printed my template directly on pattern paper along with stamps from the Pretty Princess collection:
I colored the princess with my Prismacolor and Copic markers (they play so nice together!) and glued leftover die cut bits from yesterdays project to embellish the card. I rubber-stamped the sentiment.
Here is the Envelope, I printed the stamps and template together on light pink pattern paper. I knew this would be hand delivered so I made a "poistoid" in the corner in Paint Shop Pro. I colored the stamps with colored pencils (because they are opaque and will show up on the pattern paper and because the will not bleed through) then scored and folded the envelope.
The envelope is today's freebie, it is 300dpi JPG file so that when you layer your stamps on to print they will be nice and clear. Download the free envelope here.
Here is an example on how I laid mine out to print. I colored the envelope pink for to make the template easier to see:
Now let's see what the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Junior DT has in store for us this week. The are all making pretty envelopes and have great (and frugal too!) tips on how to make and decorate your own! Also I have added 3 new designers to our team, two of whom are posting today, Fun, Fun!

Just a passing remark from the border. It sounds pretty good to me. How about it? Im fine.
We joined the militia in the old home town
For the fun to be had each year at the camping ground;
Little thinking as we took the oath in the armory hall,
That quite so soon would we hear the call
To pitch our tents and take our stand
Way down in Texas on the Rio Grande,
There to guard the line with a watchful eye
To see that no Villa bandits pass us by.
And so Texas we're here we'll say
To do our duty and draw our pay
We're here from almost every state—
From Maine to where the sun sets at the Golden Gate,
From up in Washington on the sound,
Down to where the Florida alligators abound.
Some of us came willingly, others not,
But each and all must accept our lot
And do the drilling and standing guard
Although some times we find it hard
To be content with the army chow
Of bacon and beans and some canned cow.
But there are times when it's not so bad
For there are days when there is fun to be had
And then some evenings down town we stray
And have a good feed at some café,
While some who enjoy their cigars and wine
Find other ways to spend their time
Then back to camp we go feeling fine
Not so sorry to be guarding the line.
Now cheer up boys there'll come a day
When these Mexican troubles will have cleared away
Then back to our homes and loved ones dear
We'll march with good will and many a cheer
And in after years as time goes by
We'll often laugh and wonder why
We didn't take things more as a joke
Instead of cursing when we were broke
We would of had more fun along with the rest
When the militia encamped in the great Southwest.
—A.R.H., El Paso, Texas

Mount Sinai School of Medicine today announced that it is joining a $24 million, two-year Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Grand Opportunity (ADNI-GO) study to examine the subtle changes that may take place in the brains of older people many years before overt symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) appear. Researchers are looking for volunteers in New York who are beginning to experience memory problems that affect their daily activities.
The study, which is funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will follow participants over time, using imaging techniques specifically developed to advance research into changes taking place in the structure and function of the living brain, as well as biomarker measures found in blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
"We cannot end Alzheimer's unless we know more about it," said Hillel Grossman, MD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Co-Director of the Clinical Research Core of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Clinical Director of the Memory and Aging Center, and principal investigator of ADNI-GO at Mount Sinai. "This is where amazing volunteers, their friends and their families can make the difference in our success."
Researchers seek to recruit local volunteers between the ages of 55 and 90 who may be transitioning from normal cognitive aging to an early stage of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a condition that may progress to AD, but are otherwise healthy. Volunteers will receive the latest information about the treatment of mild cognitive impairment and AD. In addition, their physical health will be closely monitored and any new information about their physical health will be shared with the participant.
More than 5.1 million people across the U.S. are suffering from AD, and every 70 seconds another person develops this devastating disease. In New York alone, approximately 320,000 people are currently living with Alzheimer's.
"ADNI-GO is part of an ongoing effort to establish imaging and fluid biomarker measures of Alzheimer's disease from the onset of mild symptoms to the advanced stages of the disease process," said NIA Director Richard J. Hodes, MD. "By advancing understanding of the full spectrum of the disease, we'll be better able to identify who is at risk, track progression of the disorder, and devise measurements to test the effectiveness of potential prevention or treatment strategies."
In addition to Mount Sinai, there are 50 other sites across the United States participating in the study. The grant expands the efforts of the ADNI, a research partnership supported primarily by the NIA with private-sector support through the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. ADNI began in 2004 to establish neuroimaging and biomarker measures to track the changes taking place in the brains of 800 older people either free of symptoms or diagnosed with late-stage MCI and early Alzheimer's disease. ADNI is led by the Northern California Institute for Research and Education, a nonprofit foundation affiliated with the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Michael Weiner, MD, is the principal investigator.
The new ADNI-GO effort enables researchers to continue studying nearly 500 of the original ADNI volunteers, including those in New York, NY, while expanding the study to include the new participants with aMCI. Newly enrolled participants and some original study volunteers will undergo a lumbar puncture to collect cerebrospinal fluids. The study also involves blood tests and neuroimaging methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and amyloid imaging.
To volunteer or learn more about the study, contact Aliza Romirowsky at Mount Sinai at (212) 241-1514 or go to http://www.adcs.org/Studies/ImagineADNI.asp. Volunteers must speak English or Spanish and have a person willing to assist them during at least five clinic visits and with telephone contacts from researchers.
In addition to NIA, the original ADNI study involved other federal partners: the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, also part of NIH, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, another agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To learn more about ADNI advances and the private-public partnership supporting the research, go to http://www.nia.nih.gov/NewsAndEvents/PressReleases/PR20090317biomarker.htm.
The NIA leads the federal government effort conducting and supporting research on the biomedical, social and behavioral issues of older people. For more information on aging-related research and the NIA, go to www.nia.nih.gov. The NIA provides information on age-related cognitive change and neurodegenerative disease specifically at its Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral (ADEAR) Center site at www.nia.nih.gov/Alzheimers.

It's all here in an introductory fashion: gender roles in the Bible, polygamy, homosexuality, abortion, marriage and divorce, rape and prostitution. What is crystal clear from reading this book is that the Bible represents a patriarchal society, no if ands or buts about it. Men ruled over women. They owned them. When a virgin was raped the father lost some of the value of his property, which was the real crime. The tenth commandment placed the value of wives below their husband's house, but higher than his servants and animals (for it lists his property in a descending order).
But one of the most striking chapters to me, and my personal favorite, was the last one where Coogan describes the sex life of Yahweh, who had one just like the other gods and goddesses of that era. While I'm no voyeur, this was amazing stuff to me, not the fact that Yahweh had a consort whose name was Asherah (the "queen of heaven" a counterpart to Yahweh as the "king of heaven"). I already knew that. She was worshiped as part of the folk religion of that day, as well as by kings and officials. William Dever has already documented this stuff in his book Did God Have a Wife?. In one jar fragment Yahweh is pictured with a big dick and his arm around Asherah! The "sons of god" in Genesis 6:1-4 were their offspring. These "sons of god" became problematic to later monotheists so they reinterpreted them to be angels. Makes sense. Right? What else are you going to do with obvious mythical divine beings like these and a divine family after rejecting your former polytheism to become monotheists? Religionists have been revising their religion from the beginning.
The really fascinating stuff to me was how Yahweh treated his wives. Yes he was a polygamist. This was a metaphor, or political allegory, of course, but the allegory must have a meaning for the people it was spoken to, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to them. The prophets Hosea, Jeremiah and Ezekiel tell us about their unfaithfulness to Yahweh their husband, and what he did to them as a punishment for their unfaithfulness. Ezekiel 16 and 23 contain "some of the most shocking and sexually explicit language in the Bible" Coogan tells us (p. 183). In this allegory, the unfaithful wives of Samaria and Jerusalem are brutally punished by their divine husband Yahweh. At one point he strips them before a mob. Then comes a warning from Yahweh himself, that he did this so "that all women may be instructed not to act promiscuously as you did" (Ezek. 23:48). Coogan tells us the implication is that husbands "can and should imitate God, and wives should learn from the allegory." (p. 187). Thus these biblical depictions of Yahweh as "an insanely jealous and abusive husband" are very instructive of the power men had over their women. Surely no omnibenevolent God would ever couch his revelation in these particular cultural analogies that were destructive of women. Surely no omniscient God would do this knowing that in the 21st century people would rightfully rebel against such a concept of god as nothing but a fiction created by male chauvinist pigs. Surely he wouldn't step on his dick like that? Or would he? ;-)
If you like this review and want to encourage me, drop a few pennies in my jar on your way out to help me buy more books to review. It means a lot to me.

Cleanup crews followed the paths of violent storms that moved through the East Coast and that even spawned two tornadoes in New York City. NBC's Michelle Franzen reports.
Residents from New England to Washington, D.C., were cleaning up on a much-milder Sunday after storms spawned two New York City tornadoes and toppled thousands of trees as well as power lines, cutting electricity to tens of thousands.
Below's a look at the damage by area.
A twister with 70 mph winds formed over water near the Rockaway Peninsula of Queens Saturday morning, then hit the beachfront neighborhood of Breezy Point.
A second, 110-mph tornado followed seven minutes later about 10 miles away.
Residents got advance notice but still the storm took people by surprise, and 1,100 electricity customers lost power. No injuries were reported in either.
At Breezy Point, roofs were ripped off cabanas at the Breezy Point Surf Club. The storms also scattered deck chairs and left a heavy metal barbecue and propane tank sitting in the middle of a softball field, at least 100 yards from any home, the Associated Press reported.
"It picked up picnic benches. It picked up Dumpsters," said the club's general manager, Thomas Sullivan.
Courtesy Caitlin Walsh
Some of the debris at the Breezy Point Surf Club is seen Saturday.
"We were all scared," added club worker Caitlin Walsh, 24. "The windows on the whole building broke, the lights went out, and the rain was pouring in. Everything was shaking. It was really crazy."
Related: NBCNewYork.com reports on the twisters
Broken flower pots, knocked-down fences and smashed windows littered the community of seaside bungalows.
Half an hour later, the weather was beautiful, but Sullivan had to close the club to clean up the damage.
The roof of Bob O'Hara's cabana was torn off, leaving tubes of sunscreen, broken beer bottles and an old TV set exposed to the elements, the Associated Press reported.
O'Hara, who has spent summer weekends at the Breezy Point club for his entire 52 years, tried to be upbeat. "We got a new sunroof," he said, and "the TV was getting thrown out anyway."
The second twister hit to the northwest, in Brooklyn's Canarsie section and also near the water. Several homes and trees were damaged.
A tornado is seen touching down in New York City on Saturday.
Tornadoes in the New York City area have occurred with more regularity in recent years. A small tornado uprooted trees on Long Island last month.
In September 2010, two tornadoes knocked down thousands of trees and blew off a few rooftops in Brooklyn and Queens. A weaker tornado struck the same year in the Bronx.
In 2007, a more powerful tornado damaged homes in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
NBC Learn explains how tornadoes form.
Tornado-like funnel clouds were reported in Fairfax County, Va., and in Prince George's County, Md., but had not yet been confirmed.
A dozen people were injured while trying to evacuate the Prince George's County Fair, and six people were evacuated from a Washington apartment building when a tree fell on it.
Fairfax County officials reported three home cave-ins because of downed trees, a water rescue in the Potomac River and dozens of electrical wires down.
Related: NBCWashington.com reports on the storms
Area storms left more than 108,000 households and businesses in Virginia without power, while over 60,000 electricity customers in the District of Columbia and the Maryland suburbs were hit by outages.
By Sunday morning, more than 16,000 customers in the region were still without power.
The storms later moved into New England with wind gusts up to 60 mph, downing trees and flooding roads.
In Fall River, Mass., floodwaters reached up to car windshields and stalled out dozens of vehicles, the Associated Press reported. A day care center was evacuated and St. Anne's Hospital's emergency room flooded.
In New Hampshire, WMUR-TV reported 4,000 power outages. The storm reached every county in Vermont, all within a two-hour window, but mercifully left the state without any extraordinary damage, according to early reports.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Weekly family rail, with tips on mini golf, a review of "Shorts" and more.
Tip of the Week
A classic activity that has stood the test of time around the country - and sometimes can be forgotten during the vacation planning process - is miniature golf. While for some it may not be the sole reason for choosing a destination, it is an activity that never fails to please once travelers arrive at their vacation spot. Many of the country's top miniature golf courses were originally built in tourist destination areas such as Myrtle Beach, S.C., which is considered the unofficial "Miniature Golf Capitol of the World."
"Mini golf is great no matter your age, athletic ability or golf skills," says Bob Detwiler of the popular Hawaiian Village course in Myrtle Beach. "It's a perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening, and may even spark some friendly competition during your family vacation."
A versatile and diverting activity for any age, miniature golf is perfect for multi-generational travel groups, family gatherings, and even couples. Its affordability adds value to the vacation and is great entertainment for everyone.
Family Screening Room
Rated: PG (for mild action and some rude humor)
Length: 1:29
Synopsis: "Shorts" is set in the suburb of Black Falls, where all the houses look the same and everyone works for Black Box Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated, whose Mr. Black's Black Box is the ultimate communication and do-it-all gadget that's sweeping the nation. Other than keeping his parents employed, however, Mr. Black's Black Box has done nothing for 11-year-old Toe Thompson ... until a mysterious rainbow-colored rock falls from the sky, hits him in the head and changes everything. The Rainbow Rock does Mr. Black's Black Box one better: It grants wishes to anyone who holds it. Before long, wishes-gone-wrong have left the neighborhood swarming with tiny spaceships, crocodile armies, giant boogers and outrageous magical mayhem around every corner. But it's not until the grown-ups get their hands on the Rock that the trouble really starts. Now Toe and his newfound friends must join forces to save their town from itself, discovering along the way that what you wish for is not always what you want.
Violence/scary rating: 2
Sexual-content rating: 1
Profanity rating: 2
Drugs/alcohol rating: 1
Family Time rating: 2. This is a great family movie, and the wishing-rock aspect should have great appeal to youngsters.
(Ratings are judged on a five-point scale, with 5 being "bad for kids" and 1 being "fine for kids.")
