If I sing like my favorite worship artist, but do not have love, I am just a loud kick drum or cheap crash cymbal.
If I have the gift of creative verbal transitions and understand the mystery and knowledge of chord charts and choir scores, and if I have the faith that can move the emotions of an entire congregation, but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give the old sound system to a poor congregation, install the new one all by myself, and then post it on Facebook so all my friends will know, but do not have love, I won't get any likes.
Love is patient with a congregation that is slow to change,
Love is kind to the tech team.
Love doesn't envy the size of another church,
It doesn't brag at the worship pastor's lunch meeting,
It doesn't incessantly promote itself on YouTube.
It doesn't publicly complain about its players or pastor,
It doesn't use its present ministry just to climb the ladder toward a future ministry
It doesn't lose its temper when the lead guitarist misses the bridge
or keep track of the times it has happened before.
Love is not happy with worship team spiritual apathy
so it encourages a culture of mutual accountability.
It always protects confidentialities,
always trusts the team members,
always hopes biblical worship is central,
and always rehearses just one more time.
Love never coasts.
But where there are creative verbal transitions, they will cease;
where there are beautiful voices to sing amazing songs, they will be silent;
where there is musical knowledge, it will pass away.
For we kind-of know and can kind-of talk about worship,
but when Perfect Worship occurs, the kind-of will disappear.
When I was a child, I sang childish songs.
When I became a man, I traded childish songs for adult songs…but still just songs.
For now we see hazily, as through the mist of a fog machine. But soon the haze will evaporate and the room will be completely clear.
Now I kind-of know; Then I will fully know, even as I am fully known.
Until that time, until we fully know, we must do three things: Have Faith that God will help us; Hope that we are getting it right; and Love God and each other
As a worship leader, love often seems to be the hardest…but it is also the greatest.

Yes, America is Still in an Official State of Emergency
A reader asked whether the U.S. is still in an official state of emergency, and if so, what that means.
The answer is yes, we are still in a state of emergency.
On September 10 2009, President Obama continued the state of emergency:On September 11, 2001, the government declared a state of emergency. That declared state of emergency was formally put in writing on 9/14/2001:
That declared state of emergency has continued in full force and effect from 9/11 [throughout the Bush administration] to the present."A national emergency exists by reason of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I hereby declare that the national emergency has existed since September 11, 2001 . . . ."
The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 14, 2001, of a national emergency continues. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 14, 2009, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat.Does a State of Emergency Really Mean Anything?
Does a state of emergency really mean anything?
Yes, it does:
As former United States congressman Dan Hamburg wrote in October:The Washington Times wrote on September 18, 2001:
"Simply by proclaiming a national emergency on Friday, President Bush activated some 500 dormant legal provisions, including those allowing him to impose censorship and martial law."
Is the Times correct? Well, it is clear that pre-9/11 declarations of national emergency have authorized martial law. For example, as summarized by a former fellow for the Hoover Institution and the National Science Foundation, and the recipient of numerous awards, including the Gary Schlarbaum Award for Lifetime Defense of Liberty, Thomas Szasz Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Cause of Civil Liberties, Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty and Templeton Honor Rolls Award on Education in a Free Society:(Most or all of the emergency powers referred to by the above-quoted 1973 Senate report were revoked in the late 1970's by 50 U.S.C. Section 1601. However, presidents have made numerous declarations of emergency since then, and the declarations made by President Bush in September 2001 are still in effect).In 1973, the Senate created a Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency (subsequently redesignated the Special Committee on National Emergencies and Delegated Emergency Powers) to investigate the matter and to propose reforms. Ascertaining the continued existence of four presidential declarations of national emergency, the Special Committee (U.S. Senate 1973, p. iii) reported:
"These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. . . . taken together, [they] confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional processes. Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communications; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."
It is also clear that the White House has kept substantial information concerning its presidential proclamations and directives hidden from Congress. For example, according to Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy:"Of the 54 National Security Presidential Directives issued by the [George W.] Bush Administration to date, the titles of only about half have been publicly identified. There is descriptive material or actual text in the public domain for only about a third. In other words, there are dozens of undisclosed Presidential directives that define U.S. national security policy and task government agencies, but whose substance is unknown either to the public or, as a rule, to Congress."
While ... Congress and the judiciary, as well as public opinion, "can restrain the executive regarding emergency powers," nothing of the sort has occurred.Hamburg's must-read article also discusses the suspension of Possse Comitatus, the operation of Northcom inside the U.S., and the refusal of the Department of Homeland Security to provide information on the state of emergency to Congress or even to Congress members on the Homeland Security committee with the highest security clearances.Under the 1976 National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651), Congress is required to review presidentially declared emergencies. Specifically, "not later than six months after a national emergency is declared, and not later than the end of each six-month period thereafter that such emergency continues, each House of Congress shall meet to consider a vote on a joint resolution to determine whether that emergency shall be terminated." Over the past eight years, Congress has failed to obey its own law, a fact that casts doubt on the legality of the state of emergency.
As far as public opinion is concerned, how many Americans are even aware that a state of emergency even exists. For that matter, how many members of Congress know? ...
The Obama administration is essentially arguing that the United States is currently in a state of resisting foreign invasion a full eight years after the attacks of 9/11!
This is ludicrous. [Dr. Harold C. Relyea, a specialist in national government with the Congressional Research Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress] argues that Congress and the judiciary, as "co-equal branches of constitutional government," serve as a check on the executive power. As we have seen, Congress has either been shut out of this process, or, as in so many cases, it has capitulated. Dr. Relyea then offers that public opinion can restrain the executive. But the public doesn't even know they're living under a state of emergency. The media doesn't report it, and the government is certainly not in the business of providing information that might raise the hackles of real Americans.
It's time for the American people to rise to this challenge. Write your member of Congress, and your senators. Tell them to obey their own laws. Tell them to end this phony and treacherous state of emergency that imperils the freedom of us all.
The Effect of a State of Emergency on the Economy and Business
The continuous state of emergency in effect from September 2001 to the present may have had a substantial affect on the economy and business.
Initially, as William K. Black - senior regulator during the S&L crisis, professor of Economics and Law, and an expert on white collar financial crime - has repeatedly pointed out, the government knew about an epidemic of mortgage fraud a long time ago. For example, the FBI warned of an "epidemic" of mortgage fraud in 2004. However, the FBI, DOJ and other government agencies putted their agents off of financial fraud investigation and forced them to focus on terrorism instead. See this and this
And as Reuters noted last week:
U.S. securities regulators originally treated the New York Federal Reserve's bid to keep secret many of the details of the American International Group bailout like a request to protect matters of national security, according to emails obtained by Reuters.
The national security claim may seem outlandish, but it is nothing new.
As Business Week wrote on May 23, 2006:
President George W. Bush has bestowed on his intelligence czar, John Negroponte, broad authority, in the name of national security, to excuse publicly traded companies from their usual accounting and securities-disclosure obligations.In other words, national security has been discussed for years as a basis of keeping normal accounting and securities-related disclosures secret. While "national security" and a state of "national emergency" may not be exactly the same, they are variations of a single theme - an existential threat to our nation - which has dominated American since September 11.
Similarly, Congressman Brad Sherman, Congressman Paul Kanjorski and Senator James Inhofe all say that the government warned of martial law if Tarp wasn't passed.
Last year:
- Senator Leahy said "If we learned anything from 9/11, the biggest mistake is to pass anything they ask for just because it's an emergency"
- The New York Times wrote:
"The rescue is being sold as a must-have emergency measure by an administration with a controversial record when it comes to asking Congress for special authority in time of duress."
Mr. Paulson has argued that the powers he seeks are necessary to chase away the wolf howling at the door: a potentially swift shredding of the American financial system. That would be catastrophic for everyone, he argues, not only banks, but also ordinary Americans who depend on their finances to buy homes and cars, and to pay for college.
Some are suspicious of Mr. Paulson's characterizations, finding in his warnings and demands for extraordinary powers a parallel with the way the Bush administration gained authority for the war in Iraq. Then, the White House suggested that mushroom clouds could accompany Congress's failure to act. This time, it is financial Armageddon supposedly on the doorstep.
"This is scare tactics to try to do something that's in the private but not the public interest," said Allan Meltzer, a former economic adviser to President Reagan, and an expert on monetary policy at the Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business. "It's terrible."
Most of the Fed and Treasury's looting of America to funnel trillions in bailouts, loans, guarantees, and other favors to the too big to fails was done under the justification of an "emergency".
I don't know whether the official declaration of a "state of emergency" in effect from September 2001 to today was directly used for financial looting. But again, the fear of an existential threat to our country was used to justify the looting.
And many people allege that the government has taken drastic steps to manipulate market prices. If true, the president's ability to use emergency powers to "stabilize the markets" no doubt makes manipulation easier.
Congress Has the Power to Revoke the State of Emergency
A note to Congressional staffers: Congressman Hamburg is right. Congress does have the power to revoke the state of emergency.
Specifically, the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. Sections 1601-1651 (passed in 1976), gives Congress the power to countermand a presidential declaration of national emergency. Indeed, in 1976, Congress rescinded all of the declarations of national emergency made since World War II, as many of them had been on the books for years and were giving the executive unrestricted powers which were undermining the Constitution.
In 1983, the Supreme Court struck down a portion of Congress' power to countermand a declaration of national emergency. But Congress got around that ruling by amending the National Emergencies Act in 1985 to confirm Congress' power to countermand - through a joint resolution between the House and Senate - a declaration of emergency by the president (see this).
Moreover, in 2007, the Bush Administration tried to ignore the National Emergencies Act by issuing National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 51. But that dog won't hunt. The Constitution does not allow the president to unilaterally cut Congress out of the picture.
As former Chicago Federal Reserve economist and Senior Morningstar equity analyst William Bergman wrote in 2001:
Lord Acton's famous saying that 'power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely' provides a valuable warning. In light of the sweeping powers seemingly provided by statutes like 12 U.S.C. 95a and 12 U.S.C. 95(a), those who care about democratic principles and freedom may wish to monitor the implications of these and other laws for government choices before conditions arise giving rise to assertions of emergency authority, in addition to behavior arising amidst an emergency itself. This study could usefully include a renewed assessment of the constitutionality of these and other emergency statutes, as well as more fundamental review of their welfare implications per se, including work along the lines produced for the Senate Special Committee to Terminate the National Emergency in 1973.[i]
[i] See for example Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency, "Emergency Powers Statutes: Provisions of Federal Law Now in Effect Delegating to the Executive Extraordinary Authority In Time of National Emergency." United States Senate Report 93-549; November 19, 1973.

Dont forget that we are also under a state of emergency since 10/25/09 over the swine flu!
DG This country has lived under a National Emergency since 1933. Who cares if the Senate put a 2 year statute of limitations on these National Emergencies? I wrote about this last year and how it all began. Roosevelt was the WORST president we have ever had.

Will such emergency powers be used to impose ObamaCare?

American's that think that having public health care is bad have been sadly mislead. I can't imagine what it would be like without it.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Welcome Baby Girl
Cameron Diaz and husband Benji Madden secretly welcomed a baby girl!
On Friday (January 3), the Charlie's Angels star announced the birth of her daughter in a post on Instagram. In it, the notoriously private celeb shared the the baby's name, Reddix, as well as revealed she will not be posting any pictures of her newborn in order to protect her privacy. However, Diaz said her little one is "really, really cute."
"We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden," the caption reads. "She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family."
"While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one's privacy, so we won't be posting pictures or sharing any more details, other than the fact that she is really really cute!!" the 47-year-old explained. "Some would even say RAD :)"
Check out Cameron Diaz's full birth announcement, below:
This is the first child for both Diaz and Madden, who tied the knot in 2015.
In August, the actress told InStyle like keeping her life away from the spotlight because no one knows what she's up to. Little did everyone know she was just months away from becoming a mother for the first time.
She explained, "The way I look at it is that I've given more than half of my life to the public. I feel it's okay for me to take time for myself now to reorganize and choose how I want to come [back] into the world. If I decide to."

Both knee joints are equipped with an innovative, load-dependant brake mechanism. The brake mechanism engages when the heel is loaded. It stabilizes the prosthesis and achieves a high degree of security during the entire stance phase. The braking mechanism releases automatically when the forefoot is loaded, and the swing phase can be initiated easily and harmoniously. Unphysiological movements, such as hip hike are minimized with this system and this helps to create a more secure, harmonious gait.
The effect of the integrated extension assist can be regulated very easily by adjusting the tension of the spring .
The setting can be engaged individually in five settings and increases or decreases the intensity of the extension assist.
Easy to align: The blue ring on the upper section makes alignment easier. The plumb line is simply placed at the outer ring of the disk allowing the recommended 15mm posterior placement to be easily located without measuring.

The $6B nail industry is constantly striving to reinvent, renew and retool as they seek to engage the ever demanding American consumer. The constant change in package design channels the latest fashionable looks. This industry, in a nod to societal trends, offers recyclable packaging and has changed the way in which products are tested and delivered to market. With all this progress, what could be the next direction in enticing customers to buy more innovative products and convince them that these products are must-have essentials?
The industry needs to get more creative and target wider demographics. I dreamed up a marketing campaign that will surely reap billions into an industry which to me is as exciting as a bag of bolts and rivets.
My dream campaign focuses on nail polish names which need to be crafted with my version of wit, humor and irreverence. An indelible image along with a catchy moniker will cause a frenzy for the nail polish as soon as the email blast hits the inbox.
Here are my ruminations:
HALITOSIS – Why suffer from coming into contact with Halitosis? This polish was designed to warn you when a fetid stench is about to spew out from a perpetrator's mouth. The color on your nails will send a warning signal by changing from a beautiful ballerina pink to a putrid glowing green when assailed by a noxious odor. If you see your nails turn green, pinch your nose, do an about face and run for your life.
GANG-LAND – This color is best suited for the woman who has Gang-Envy. If you feel the uncontrollable urge to protect your "turf" by icing someone with a nail gun, tattoo your face, speak "Slang-Bang", throw empty beer cans in your back yard, and devise new ways to build better, more reliable portable meth-labs, then this color is for you.
HAS-BEEN-ACTOR – This color is for the actor whose moribund acting career has not left him or her with many opportunities. If you find yourself filming a commercial in Jakarta, Indonesia alongside Steven Seagal and a "B" 80s actress, then this color is for you.
Never! Always accessorize. Personally, I like to emphasize my dainty wrists with rhinestone Wrapstars. Gunmetal nail polish is the perfect antidote for the call against baring arms.
Bracelets by Jamie Kreitman®.
And finally for all the Environmentalists–myself included:
The nail "Eco-Pac" – This trio of colors comes in a stylish glam bag made from recycled newspapers with these colors:
- Starving Polar Bear
- Polka Dot Spotted Owl
- Petrol Smothered Birds
And Limited Edition:
For the suburban mom who downsizes from a tank-sized SUV to a hybrid car, you win a free bottle of Eco-Polish in "Prius Blue."
You may qualify even if the huge-assed bumper on your current SUV sports a number of stickers, i.e. multiple stick figures of indecipherable family members, "Proud parent of a Middle School Honor Student," or "MOM-TAXI". Realizing that the stickers are too wide for a Prius, we have designed a bonus FREE bumper sticker stating: "My other 2 SUVs have my other bumper stickers."
Attention nail industry: No time to shilly-shally, reinvent yourself and sell, sell sell!
These are some colors I need to top off my nails with.

And Bart's safe return isn't the family's only good news: Kevin is enjoying married life with Isabelle; Patrick is getting back on his feet after paying his debt to society; Ava thinks she's finally found the love of her life; and Kelly is thrilled to see his family reunited at last. But it just wouldn't be a Quinn family gathering if things went smoothly. A celebration of everything we love--and some of the things we endure--about the holidays, WINTER SOLSTICE is Elin Hilderbrand at her festive best. Follow the Quinn family through the entire Winter Street Series: Winter Street Winter Stroll Winter Storms Winter Solstice

Camera mounting
The camera is just fixed in place, and I could add some extra packing behind it if it needs to be angled downwards. My thinking here is that although the obvious thing to do is to have it on a servo tilt mechanism I'll start with the simplest possible system and then see what the issues are. Tilting probably would have advantages in terms of being able to look down at the floor or to view bottles being carried (there could be some additional computer vision to count the bottles and determine whether they have lids).
The height of the camera is intended to be suitable for viewing desk surfaces or window ledges. It's not ideally suited for interacting with people - unless they're sitting down, but that too could also be changed. It would be fairly easy to add a couple of extra right angle plastic pieces with some pre-drilled holes so that the height of the camera could be easily adjustable up or down.
Why not just mount the Kinect sensor higher? That would also be a possibility, but the Kinect is a large and quite heavy sensor, and mounting it in a higher position could introduce stability issues which would also have consequences for the accuracy of mapping and localisation. The webcam is small and lightweight, so it doesn't need a very industrial stand to support it and barely alters the robot's centre of gravity.
Stereo vision with webcams has the well known problem of lack of camera synchronization, but for tasks such as inspecting the surface of a desktop this isn't necessarily a major impediment. In the sorts of scenario I'm thinking of you could schedule the robot to visit certain places, then the webcam would turn on, take some images and turn off again (preserving electrical and processing power) with the assumption that not much in the field of view is likely to change during the few milliseconds when frames are being grabbed and the robot isn't in motion. Even if the onboard computer was quite slow, sitting and processing some stereo images for a few seconds would be no big deal.

I played with the Minoru camera a few years back.
2 major issues that limit it's suitability on mobile robots:
1. iages are not synchronised, so you cannot get reliable depth information on the move.
2. images are still mjpeg rather than raw data so each image is filled with speckle that affects any edge detection while the robot is moving. - July 20, 2012 at 7:58 PM
- Bob Mottram said...
Lack of camera sychronisation is an is a problem if the camera is moving. What happens is that the whole point cloud appears to wobble.
For looking at mostly stationary scenes though - like a table surface - it's quite good at close range. The depth resolution isn't as good as the Kinect, but it's still better than monocular vision.
The image format is only a problem if your correspondence algorithm depends upon edge detection. In practice the camera lens being used makes a bigger difference than the image format. - July 21, 2012 at 7:26 AM

When I was a young coder, just starting out in the big scary world of enterprise software, an older, far more experienced chap gave me a stern warning about hard coding values in my software. "They will have to change at some point, and you don't want to recompile and redeploy your application just to change the VAT tax rate." I took this advice to heart and soon every value that my application needed was loaded from a huge .ini file. I still think it's good advice, but be warned, like most things in software, it's good advice up to a point. Beyond that point lies pain.
Let me introduce you to my 'Configuration Complexity Clock'.
This clock tells a story. We start at midnight, 12 o'clock, with a simple new requirement which we quickly code up as a little application. It's not expected to last very long, just a stop-gap in some larger strategic scheme, so we've hard-coded all the application's values. Months pass, the application becomes widely used, but there's a problem, some of the business values change, so we find ourselves rebuilding and re-deploying it just to change a few numbers. This is obviously wrong. The solution is simple, we'll move those values out into a configuration file, maybe some appsettings in our App.config. Now we're at 2 on the clock.
Time passes and our application is now somewhat entrenched in our organisation. The business continues to evolve and as it does, more values are moved to our configuration file. Now appsettings are no longer sufficient, we have groups of values and hierarchies of values. If we're good, by now we will have moved our configuration into a dedicated XML schema that gets de-serialized into a configuration model. If we're not so good we might have shoe-horned repeated and multi-dimensional values into some strange tilda and pipe separated strings. Now we're at 4 or 5 on the clock.
More time passes, the irritating 'chief software architect' has been sacked and our little application is now core to our organisation. The business rules become more complex and so does our configuration. In fact there's now a considerable learning curve before a new hire can successfully carry out a deployment. One of our new hires is a very clever chap, he's seen this situation before. "What we need is a business rules engine" he declares. Now this looks promising. The configuration moves from its XML file into a database and has its own specialised GUI. Initially there was hope that non-technical business users would be able to use the GUI to configure the application, but that turned out to be a false hope; the mapping of business rules into the engine requires a level of expertise that only some members of the development team possess. We're now at 6 on the clock.
Frustratingly there are still some business requirements that can't be configured using the new rules engine. Some logical conditions simply aren't configurable using its GUI, and so the application has to be re-coded and re-deployed for some scenarios. Help is at hand, someone on the team reads Ayende's DSLs book. Yes, a DSL will allow us to write arbitrarily complex rules and solve all our problems. The team stops work for several months to implement the DSL. It's a considerable technical accomplishment when it's completed and everyone takes a well earned break. Surely this will mean the end of arbitrary hard-coded business logic? It's now 9am on the clock.
Amazingly it works. Several months go by without any changes being needed in the core application. The team spend most of their time writing code in the new DSL. After some embarrassing episodes, they now go through a complete release cycle before deploying any new DSL code. The DSL text files are version controlled and each release goes through regression testing before being deployed. Debugging the DSL code is difficult, there's little tooling support, they simply don't have the resources to build an IDE or a ReSharper for their new little language. As the DSL code gets more complex they also start to miss being able to write object-oriented software. Some of the team have started to work on a unit testing framework in their spare time.
In the pub after work someone quips, "we're back where we started four years ago, hard coding everything, except now in a much crappier language."
They've gone around the clock and are back at 12.
Why tell this story? To be honest, I've never seen an organisation go all the way around the clock, but I've seen plenty that have got to 5, 6, or 7 and feel considerable pain. My point is this:
At a certain level of complexity, hard-coding a solution may be the least evil option.
You already have a general purpose programming language, before you go down the route of building a business rules engine or a DSL, or even if your configuration passes a certain level of complexity, consider that with a slicker build-test-deploy cycle, it might be far simpler just to hard code it.
As you go clockwise around the clock, the technical implementation becomes successively more complex. Building a good rules engine is hard, writing a DSL is harder still. Each extra hour you travel clockwise will lead to more complex software with more bugs and a harder learning curve for any new hires. The more complex the configuration, the more control and testing it will need before deployment. Soon enough you'll find that there's little difference in the length of time it takes between changing a line of code and changing a line of configuration. Rather than a commonly available skill, such as coding C#, you find that your organisation relies on a very rare skill: understanding your rules engine or DSL.
I'm not saying that it's never appropriate to implement complex configuration, a rules-engine or a DSL, Indeed I would jump at the chance of building a DSL given the right requirements, but I am saying that you should understand the implications and recognise where you are on the clock before you go down that route.

NEW: State of the Art Bipolar Ionizer Air Purification System for the Home, Office & Health Clinic. As important as Earthing for all round health! All living organisms of planet Earth have naturally evolved and developed thanks to a healthy ionized environment. Air ionization is, and has been, one of the most important conditions for the normal development of highly organised life. Just as we have lost our connection with the Earth, we are today also working against nature by living and working in buildings that deprive us of an adequate level of health-supporting highly energised. Air filtration systems, Air Conditioning, Chemtrails, Smog and the plethora of electronic equipment we have all add to the deprivation of natural ionized air essential to health and well being. Today we are now literally breathing in dead air detrimental to life. Now, just as can reconnect with the Earth through 'earthing products', we can reproduce that highly ionized & energised air inside buildings with the use of a Bipolar Ionizer Air Purification System. These are no ordinary Ionizers. These ionizers reproduce the Small Air Ions that are essential to all life, supporting EVERY biological system of the body, especially the respiratory. No other Ionizer can do this. Also destroys airborne bacteria, viruses, fungi and allergens.

Airnergy – Spirovital Therapy: Breathe New Life into your Body & Cells. This has to be the Medical Innovation of the Century. In keeping with how Nature works, this incredible technology uses the principle behind Photosynthesis to allow the Blood to transport more oxygen to every cell and organ, and also helps the Cells to utilise more oxygen and more efficiently. Delivers 'energy' to every cell of the body. Increases cellular oxygenation – very important – and significantly increases intracellular ATP formation, all of which is of great benefit to the whole body and every biological system of the body from Cell to Skin. Supports: normalisation of blood pressure and blood LDL/HDL Ratio; the immune system – especially auto-immune issues – helping fight infection and disease; cardiovascular health; COPD and other respiratory conditions; boosting energy levels naturally; stimulation of circulation, heart, lung and brain function; increased concentration & mental agility, and a whole lot more too.
Bipolar Ionizers – Best Ionizers in the world. An absolute must for every household, Office and Clinic today! As important as Earthing is to the body, if not more so today considering how often we take breath! Neutralises airborne bacteria, viruses, fungi, allergens and various Volatile Organic Compounds. Keep your personal space and office personnel safe from airborne-spreading pathogens/viruses. See below:
Just as we have evolved with natural contact with the Earth, we have also evolved and developed as a species living in a highly-ionized air environment. In Nature we typically find around 1000 to 10000s of Small Air Ions (SAI) per cubic cm, consisting of both positive and negative ions. However, in Homes & Offices this level of SAI drops to less than 30 per cubic cm, which is not healthy and is detrimental to health of biological systems.
In fact this poor air quality leads to 'Chronic-Aero-Ionic-Starvation', contributing to ageing and various chronic diseases. Therefore, we all need to Restore the Small Air Ions (SAI) found naturally in the fresh air of Nature to our indoor environment. Negative Ionizers (unipolar – delivering only negative ions) cannot achieve this healthy balance or level of SAI that is required to create & maintain fresh living healthy ionized air. In fact their use is prohibited in workplaces in Russia. Ionized air is fresh air that we have naturally evolved with and 'living air' which is very important to our health, well being and continuing development. Bipolar Ionizer usage also naturally increases the levels of Oxygen Ions in the air too, which is very beneficial. As well as neutralizing bacteria, viruses, fungi, allergens (View) and various Volatile Organic Compounds (View). Supports symptoms of Asthma, Bronchitis, COPD, Hay Fever, electro-sensitivity, chemical-sensitivity and Chemtrail Effects. As important as any Earthing Product, Earthing Sheet, Earthing Mat or any other Grounding Product. These replace the Elanra Ionisers we used to support.

Importance of Earthing / Grounding The Body To Mother Earth& Our Re-Connection With Nature and the Environment & Why We Need To Preserve This Important Connection
Dirty Electricity Meter & Filters:
Dirty Electricity – also known as transients/noise/harmonics – is becoming an increasing health concern. In Dirty Electricity (DE): Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization, epidemiologist Sam Milham, MD points out that the major diseases plaguing modern man — heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. — may be triggered by a prevalent, yet nearly entirely overlooked, cause: dirty electricity. Dr. Magda Havas refers to Dirty Electricity thus: '… electric power that has become corrupted by our use of modern appliances. Items such as CFL bulbs, cell phone transmission antennas, power supplies for portable computers, cell phone chargers, dimmer switches, variable speed fans and many other electronic devices that require a transformer to convert the voltage will "dirty" the electricity that enters your home.'
Yet one of the biggest causes of Dirty Electricity is Solar Panels! Inverters used in Solar Panel installations create high levels of electric & magnetic fields as well as extremely high levels of DE. However this is not restricted to the house to which the Panels are attached to. With Solar Panel installations electricity is passed back into the electrical grid, so these high levels of Dirty Electricity are then delivered into every home on that same Grid! So if any of your neighbours, even some distance away, have Solar Panels fitted, then you are most likely to have high levels of DE entering into your home through your electrical supply without your knowledge. As high levels of DE are associated with major health concerns, then it is prudent for us all to be able to detect DE and measure it accurately, and then REMOVE it from our electrical wiring. We can now do this quite easily with our new State of the Art Power Pollution (DE) Meter and DE Filters for the Home & Workplace.

An excellent adjunct for supporting many health issues and the immune system. Now we can utilise the full benefits of Garlic in easy to use Capsules, Liquid, Gel and Spray.
EMF/EMR & Full Spectrum (200MHz – 8+GHz) Microwave Radiation Detectors
Including the NEW Acousticom 2 Full Spectrum Microwave Radiation Detector. In today's highly electrified world we are surrounded by man-made radiation; whether that be magnetic field radiation, electrical field radiation, or the plethora of 'all things wireless' radiation we are now being bombarded with. Today, more than ever, it is prudent for all of us to be able to check where this radiation is, how strong it is and whether or not it is causing any 'Hot Spots' in our Home or Working environment – places where we spend most of our time. It is vitally important to know if we are sleeping in an unsafe space so we can then do something positive about it. An EMR Meter will allow us to determine unsafe levels and where they exist. Then we can do something positive by adopting some of the solutions above to help protect us.
Dangers of using Smart Meters More PDF Files can be found here with Smart Meters Part1 and Smart Meters Part2. If you open up Part2 and look at the pictures on the first few pages of the damage these Meters cause to living things, the message may hit home. We should all avoid using these Meters at any cost!

[acc_item title="Importance of Water – The 'Memory of Water"]
The ability of water to store and share information and the part it plays in 'consciousness' and life itself has always been a large part of this web site's information. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THOSE WHO WISH YOU TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE. Without a balanced internal full elemental and nutritionally-electrolyte rich watery environment (bioterrain) our DNA through our intra- and extra-cellular fluid would be unable to instruct our cells on a biophysical (energy-informational) level how to behave correctly, do their job biologically/biochemically, and replicate and repair in a healthy way. If our internal bioterrain is affected in, and by, any unbalanced way (and there are many), then our DNA, genes and subsequently our 'consciousness/soul' can be influenced by anybody, and in any subjectective or pre-designed way. Basic biophysical science. See Quinton Marine Plasma for more on importance of bioterrain and Articles section for more on 'memory' of water and the importance this has on our life, spiritual and physical.

As water is replete in all things,Our Water Energising Products enable us to vastly improve the quality of the water, food and nutritional products we consume by restoring balanced life-force energy (biophotons) and the required life-creating/life-sustaining crystalline structure to the inherent water molecules, which is generally lost due to man's interference with Nature. According to Schweitzer, this enhances the ATP response in the body for healthier cells and longevity. According to the work of Masaru Emoto it is the quality and perfection of the crystalline structure that is important if water is to share its life-sustaining qualities with us.
We examine how the quality of Water can play a significant part in our health and physical well-being. We examine how water stores energy/information and shares this with us, and how it is our intracellular fluid – basically salt water full of nutrients – that transfers information from our DNA to our cells on how they should behave etc. We examine the implications of how water's ability to store energy/information can impact upon our biophysical & biological health, as well as our beliefs, emotions, thoughts, actions and spiritual 'direction' today.

Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump: the 10 records that changed my life
Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump: the 10 records that changed my life
Although he's two years younger than the compact disc, Fall Out Boy lead singer and guitarist Patrick Stump says that vinyl record albums were the central music-listening medium of his youth.
"That doesn't mean I was always allowed to play the records," Stump says with a laugh. "I was the youngest in the family, and my parents didn't want my peanut butter-covered fingers all over the grooves of the discs. For a while there, playing records myself was kind of this special, unattainable thing for me."
Cassettes also figured into Stump's early days, although the difficulties of trying to find key songs on the tapes proved somewhat frustrating for the young music enthusiast. "You had to fast-forward or rewind, and you never knew where you were half the time," he recalls. "But you did get the side one and side two experience on cassettes, so they were like vinyl records in that way. That was cool."
The internet was still on training wheels during Stump's teenage years, so he sought out music at Record Surplus, which specialized in used product, in his hometown of Des Plaines, Illinois, and at a couple of shops in the nearby city of Evanston. Toward the end of high school, he even landed a job at Record Surplus. For Stump, the prospect of being paid to work in some capacity in the music business seemed unbelievably glamorous. Unfortunately, the stock at Record Surplus wasn't always primo.
"Remember, it was a used record store in the suburbs of Chicago, not in the heart of the city," he says. "So there was a lot of Lawrence Welk and some of the unpopular Barbra Streisand records. Or you would find the record after the big hit by certain artists. We'd have first dibs on records that had a scratch or two on them. Sometimes we even picked through the dumpsters outside. Occasionally, there'd be something pretty good."
It's been 11 years since Fall Out Boy released their gold debut, Take This To Your Grave, which they followed up with 2005's three-times platinum From Under The Cork Tree. Last year, after a brief hiatus, the group issued the chart-topping album Save Rock And Roll and hit the arena circuit. All of which means that Stump's dumpster-diving days are gone for good.
Surveying today's musical climate, he weighs in on the current singles vs albums debate: "People are still making great albums, but our focus is on singles. That's OK, because for a while we forgot how to make a friggin' single. It's a pendulum that swings, and it's important to have people who understand how to do both. I'm very grateful that there's a Max Martin and a Dr. Luke and a Katy Perry pumping out these great singles. At the same time, that does make me kind of miss the album."
On the following pages, Patrick Stump takes a stroll down musical memory lane and discusses what he considers to be 10 "life-changing" albums.
Tom Waits - Small Change (1976)
"This is somewhat arbitrary because this is the first Tom Waits album I ever really heard. Being a kid of the '80s, it's a voice that's just beyond the normal lexicon. He's not Tom Petty or Elvis Costello – he's kind of one removed. So I heard the name and the voice, but this is the first album that I listened to.
"It's just genius. I love he way that he inhabits the character. The arrangements and the strings are so gorgeous, especially against his gravelly voice. And the lyrics are just bar none – he's probably my favorite lyricist ever."
David Bowie - Low (1977)
"Ziggy Stardust established that David Bowie could be a superstar and a great songwriter. Low established him as an artistically avant-garde genius.
"The thing about Low is, it's a totally different record when you flip it over. Side one is bizarrely easy-listening, easy-to-grasp pop songs with horribly freaky lyrics. Side two is an instrumental synth record, and it's a really good one, too. It was just so 'out' and so different from the David Bowie that he had been up to that point. That really got me excited about him.
"It's one thing to see a snapshot of somebody; it's quite another to see two snapshots of the same person that are completely different. You stand back and think, 'How do they connect?' That's fascinating to me."
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - This Year's Model (1978)
"Anybody who owns a guitar and plays rock music has either die-hard respect or begrudging respect for his records. I'm a huge Elvis Costello fan, but this album in particular stands out.
"My Aim Is True is a brilliant mission statement, but it's pre-Attractions. The energy is different on This Year's Model. Elvis is playing off the Attractions, who are just amazing musicians. There's a thrashy thing going on here. The band is almost green, like they're just figuring out how they're supposed to play together. That's punk rock to me. It's more punk rock than most punk-rock records.
"There's so many layers to Elvis' lyrics – they're literate and full of so many unique observations. The fact that he could go from an album like this and then do something like Painted From Memory or write a song like Shipbuilding, that's pretty awesome.
"By the way, the only records that I like Farfisa organs on pretty much all feature Steve Nieve."
Batman: Original Motion Picture Score by Danny Elfman (1989)
"So the next two are basically tied. I'm including both Batman soundtracks because each one had a major impact on me. You know, I hear Danny Elfman all over our music, especially in the way I arrange strings or how some of the melodic passages work. I can trace those things right back to 1989's Batman.
"To this day, I'm obsessed with this score. I miss that era of film composing, because right after that it seemed as if every movie had to have this big, grandiose score. We're in an amazing time for scoring now, but it leaves a lot of space for the story to be told. Dammit, sometimes it's nice to get in the way of the story." [Laughs]
Prince - Batman: Motion Picture Soundtrack (1989)
"This is a funny one. I was thinking a lot about Prince, like, 'Man, how do I get him on here?' He's such an influence on me but in a way that's almost hard to describe.
"My brother bought this record thinking that it was going to be the Danny Elfman score. But it was Prince, and he was like, 'Ah, I don't really want this.' Man, I loved that tape – I wore it out. It was my first Prince record, too, my first real understanding of him. Being a white kid from the suburbs, I didn't have a big indoctrination in funk and R&B, so I was getting that from Prince. And I was getting Prince, who's a genre unto himself."
MC5 - Kick Out The Jams (1969)
"I'm trying to remember where I first heard the MC5. I think The Presidents Of The United States did a cover of Kick Out The Jams on their big record. Being a little kid at the time, that was prime time for me to listen to that.
"I was always kind of curious about the song; it was one of those phrases that would pop up. I tried to find the MC5 record – this was pre-iTunes or YouTube. I located one on eBay, but it was too much money. But then I managed to find one in, of all places, the dumpster behind the record store. It was like finding the Ark of the Covenant. A light was shining down on this record from up high.
"It was the most punk-rock record I'd ever heard – by being the least concerned about being punk rock. There's no way I could have seen the band in their era, but in my head they're the coolest band that ever existed. This record is the mission statement.
"Being from the punk scene myself, one of the things that always pissed me off about punk was its rules. You can't dress a certain way because that's what pop people wear. Don't use melodies like this – pop people do that, too. The one thing about the MC5 and especially Kick Out The Jams that hit me so hard is, it's musical shit. The melodies and harmonies that shouldn't be in punk rock are there, and they did it hard."
Michael jackson - Thriller (1982)
"One of the things that I loathe is when somebody will choose something artsy just for the sake of trying to impress somebody else with their knowledge of obscurity. I could've padded a list of the '10 records that changed my life' with, I don't know, Ornette Coleman or whoever, but I didn't want to go there. And besides, Thriller is… it's everything.
"The album predates me, so it's the kind of thing that was always there. Bad came out in '87, but Michael was putting out singles from Thriller all the way up to that. As a toddler, I was hearing those singles over and over again. It was still very, very fresh and relevant to me.
"The thing that I find so fascinating about a record like Thriller is, it was so big. It was so defined and so Michael Jackson that nobody even bothered to knock it off. That's a feat. I've seen people make allusions to it visually, and I've heard people make allusions to it in spirit. But I've never heard of anybody sitting down and saying, 'OK, I want to write Baby Be Mine,' or 'I'm going to write a song like Thriller.' Thriller was the last song that sounded like Thriller.
"If anything, that makes me want to stand up for the album even more. There's always going to be some snooty rock snob who's going to be like, 'Ah, you know, Thriller… whatever.' But it's like, 'No, man. For real. This record is everything that they say it is. It's that good.'"
Eddie Harris - The Electrifying Eddie Harris (1967)
"This was a really big thing for me. My dad was a folk musician, but before he quit and got a real job, he had a folk-fusion band. The closest thing I can compare it to is Joni Mitchell's band that she had with Jaco Pastorius. It was kind of like that.
"So fusion jazz was always around me as a kid – that's a sentence I've only heard come out of my own mouth. [Laughs] Eddie Harris is easily my favorite player ever. The things I like about him are, he can be really impressive and wow you with a really wild run, but more often than not, he's going to rely on a really good rhythm and melody. It's almost like the really delicate pop version of weird, left-field music.
"I read a review of him once that said he needed gimmicks, which is untrue – he doesn't. And then he has the gimmick, and that's awesome. Like, if you take the gimmick out, it's still really good music, but put the gimmick in and it's even more fun.
"The Electrifying Eddie Harris is the album that kind of establishes that he's the guy who runs the saxophone through a synthesizer, which is just a wild idea. But from there he has albums where he sings through a trumpet bell, or he invents hybrid instruments, like a saxophone-fingered instrument with a trumpet mouthpiece. But he always made hummable songs that stuck in my head. I really love this album."
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides (1999)
"Hip-hop was a funny thing for me. In the '90s, Tupac was the biggest thing, but I kind of missed that boat. I was there, but I wasn't paying attention. The things that got me instantly about hip-hop were A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. I liked it when the focus was on lyrical wordplay. I also liked it when there was an awareness of the culture that came before you.
"Coming into the late '90s and early 2000s with that kind of appreciation for hip-hop, Black On Both Sides was an explosion to me. If there's such a thing as backpacker hip-hop music, this is the best album ever in that way.
"It's a little crazy that Mos Def isn't so well known as an MC anymore; I think everybody knows him as an actor – and he's a great actor, as well. He's one of those guys who is just unfairly talented. But, man, is this record good. I respect the hell out of anybody who can craft a pop song that makes you think. He's got a lot of songs like that on this record. I know every word to it, so there you go."
Saves The Day - Through Being Cool (1999)
"I wanted to be honest with myself and everybody else. I thought about it: 'What do I include in the last spot? Do I put Joe Pass? Herbie Hancock?' And I said, 'I've gotta be honest. The title is The 10 Records That Changed My Life.'
"If you look at the rest of my list, I think you can get a sense of a kid who worked at a record store, a guy who had a potentially snobby outlook on music. Even though I included Thriller, there's an almost elitist outlook on things. I've met people with the same list who I wouldn't hesitate to call elitist.
"I was working at a radio station, and part of my job was to listen to new submissions from labels. This record came in, I listened to it and made the judgment call of 'Well, it doesn't really fit the format, so we probably won't play it.' At the same time, I loved it.
"It became something of a guilty pleasure for me: 'Oh, it has melodies. It's got distorted guitars.' But it really wasn't a guilty pleasure – it's a really wonderful record. And from there, I ended up in a pop-punk band, exclusively because of Through Being Cool. There's no chance I would have been in Fall Out Boy if it weren't for this record.
"A week or two later, I met Joe [Trohman] from Fall Out Boy and struck up a conversation with him, and that's how we started the band. My understanding of anything like this, up to that point, was The Descendents or Kid Dynamite or Dillinger Four. Through Being Cool – there's a freedom on the record. All those rules I was talking about? There's no rules here. It's just a good, energetic, young punk record that's earnest and real."

BC Racing has made a name for themselves in the automotive enthusiast communities by developing adjustable, street-and-track capable coilover kits for over a decade that are not only extremely effective, but also don't brake the bank!
The BR Series coilover suspension kit features mounting points and brackets that are completely compatible with all stock mounting locations and components. It is their most popular and versatile suspension setup, offering linear springs (where possible), 30 levels of dampening adjustment including simultaneous compression and rebound control, and a 2 inch minimum ride height drop. All BR Series kits are Dyno tested in order to determine the best valving and spring rates for each chassis and are tested for a minimum of 6 months before being released to the public to ensure ride quality and reliability.
All upper shock and strut mounts are all constructed of 6061-T6 Aluminum to ensure a lightweight and incredibly strong design. Front design options include: Caster/Camber Plates, Camber plates, and Rubber Mount Plates. See below for the option fitted to your chassis's BR Series Kit. The adjustable plate designs allow for up to 3 degrees of camber adjustment. The Rubber Mount Plates are better for preventing unwanted NVH.
Lower shock mounts are either made of 6061-T6 Aluminum just like the top mounts (Fork or Bolt Eye Style Mount) that have been milled from a single piece of material, or high quality STKM13C steel with all brackets welded robotically. Both style are then powder coated for corrosion protection and styling.
All springs used, linear, S-barrel, and v-barrel, are made of SAE9254 steel and utilize a Zinc coating under a powder coating finish to ensure rust cannot penetrate the metal of the spring and compromise performance or reliability. Liner springs are used in in places possible unless otherwise limited by the OE design of the vehicle which does not allow it. In that case, S-Barrel or V-Barrel springs are used to match OE shape/style specifications and the spring's rate is then matched to the linear rate.
BC Racing creates their kits utilizing a wide variety of shock types, lengths and diameters. Each vehicle depending on their data from R&D, and accounting for the OEM suspension design will utilize a different style of shock. Each shock is hand assembled in their factory and dyno tested before use in their kits. Shocks are paired together by their compression and rebound numbers after dyno testing for even and precise quality and performance. Each shock body used in their system is 53mm for added strength, performance, and increased fluid capacity (unless limited spacing will not allow). The shocks are then coated in black chrome for a clean, cohesive appearance and corrosion resistance.
Specs and Features:
- 8k Front & 12k Rear Spring Rate
- Linear front & S-Barrel rear springs
- Valved specifically to spring style and rate
- Camber Plate Front Mounts
- Aluminum and Rubber Rear Mounts
- Black Powder Coated Components
- All OE style brackets and mounting for perfect fit
- 30 Levels of Simultaneous Compression and Rebound Dampening
- 2 inch minimum and 3+ Inches of total potential drop
- Great for Track, Street, and any other conditions
