Compared with natural gemstones, moissanite's origins are both traceable and completely eco-friendly, so you can admire your beautiful new bling, and feel good knowing exactly where it comes from. Flawless Moissanite goes one step further to ensure peace of mind as all our Gold products are made from recycled Gold.
Above is a photograph capturing French chemist Henri Moissan (1852-1907) discovered what became known as moissanite in the late 19th century.
Moissanite - A Rising Star
The gem sells for about a tenth of what diamonds do. It was originally discovered in its natural form in the late 19th century by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan at an Arizona meteorite strike site called Canyon Diablo – Devil's Canyon.
Moissan is described as "an excellent lecturer and a meticulous and patient experimentalist" on the Nobel Prize website. He did, though, originally mistake the moissanite fragments for diamonds, but later fell under the new rock's devilish spell and devoted his life to recreating it. His efforts were in vain; but as it happens the Swedish discoverer of silicon, Jöns Jacob Berzelius, had already synthesised its constituent compound, silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) rates moissanite superior to diamond in overall appearance and heft. For some, moissanite is also less morally tainted given the controversies that surround the diamond industry. (So-called blood diamonds inspired the 2006 political war thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which highlighted the dark side of the world's most successfully branded gem.)
In previous decades couples were told they must have a certain-sized diamond that consumed a certain percentage of their salary.
Now, picking a ring is about making a meaningful purchase that aligns with your values and goals. The current generation cares less about societal pressure and more about having money left for travel and other experiences.
Plus, we care about the impact our purchases have on the Earth. Moissanite is gorgeous, and its story is also one of responsibility that fits perfectly with the values of this generation
Flawless Moissanite support 'One Tree Planted' and will donate x20 tree's for every purchase that is made.

Your typing speed will improve by at least 10 WPM if you play this free game at least once a week. TypeRacer is much more fun than just a free typing test.

Don't wait to get started: the road to becoming a touch typing master is long, but at least TypeRacer makes it fun and easy. To be clear, TypeRacer is not an easy typing game, but it will actually make you a better typist than those easy typing games for kids. It makes you type the same sort of text you would see at typing jobs.
Don't know how to type yet? Then learn to type! Just grab a free typing tutor or read a free typing tutorial. There are many free typing lessons on the web. You can also just download Mavis Beacon if you prefer.
Once you've mastered your basic typing skills, use TypeRacer for your first real timed typing test. Then just keep practicing - you will improve your typing speed fast!
Already know how to type? Then just have fun! TypeRacer is one of the best free online games, so why play any other addicting games which don't improve your typing speed in the process? You can quit those other computer games, flash games, facebook games, and kids games, and get focused on TypeRacer: the game that is actually good for you!

"Za'atar" is a popular spice mixture that originates from the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Israel). It can also be found in Turkey or amongst the Middle Eastern Armenians and the Bedouins of North Africa. It is composed of dried thyme, roasted sesame seeds, sumac and salt. Different versions exist and certain "Za'atar" may contain additional spices such as savory, hyssop, oregano, cumin and fennel seeds. Each country has it's own recipe. "Za'atar" is used to season meat or vegetables, it can be sprinkled on "Hummus" (see my recipe), on "Labneh" (strained yoghurt/cheese), spread on a dough base in order to make a flat bread called "Manikish Bil Za'atar" and mixed with olive oil to create a spread/dip.
A little like the Lebanese, I decided serve it in association with ricotta cheese, thus recreating a dish that is quite similar to the original "Labneh Bil Za'atar". This way of seasoning that mild cheese is absolutely wonderful. The spice mixture goes very well with the roundness of ricotta and gives it a great uplift. A magical association that doesn't lack freshness nor originality!
Recipe by Rosa @ Rosa's Yummy Yums
Serves 2-3 people.
250g Fresh ricotta cheese
2 Tsps Za'atar (see recipe)
3-4 Tbs Olive oil
1. Unmold the ricotta onto a dish.
2. Sprinkle the za'atar on top of the cheese.
3. Pour the olive oil over the cheese.
4. Serve.
Always use good quality olive oil.
You could replace the olive oil by pumpkin seed oil if you wish.
You may want to add a bit of salt if you find it too mild.
Serving suggestions:
Eat this cheese with bread ("Ekmek", "Bagels", "Challah", "German Partybrot", "Plain White Bread", "Baguette Parisienne" or "Tex Mex Cornbread").
You can also mix it to pastas, spread it on cucumber slices, use it as a filling for brick/phyllo rolls, etc...

General Dentistry Services West Roxbury, MA
If you are in need of general dentistry services, call (617) 415-9350 to schedule an appointment with our West Roxbury dental office. We focus on providing preventative dental care, performing a variety of dental procedures to keep patients in excellent oral health. By providing comprehensive care, we can ensure your teeth remain as healthy as possible and that if anything does develop, we can treat the condition as soon as possible. Whether you are concerned about your bad breath, have a toothache, or want to improve the appearance of your smile, we can help. At Fadi R Metri & Associates, our staff is warm and friendly. We will take the time to understand your oral health concerns and provide you with the information and services you need to maintain lifelong oral health.
Our general dentistry services include:
Teeth cleanings and examinations. At our 02132 dental office, we recommend you have your teeth cleaned at least twice per year. This way, we can remove the plaque that has built up on or in between your teeth. Regardless of how well you brush your teeth, it is difficult to clean hard-to-reach spaces, leading to a buildup of plaque and tartar. Since plaque can increase your risk of getting cavities, removing it can help you to be in better health. These appointments can be completed quickly, and we can attempt to work within your schedule.
Oral cancer detection. Our general dentistry services include looking for signs of oral cancer while cleaning and examining your teeth. At Fadi R Metri & Associates, we understand the important role we play in detecting signs of the disease. It is difficult, if not impossible, to see the inside of your mouth, which makes it difficult to see signs of oral cancer until the disease has spread. While cleaning your teeth, we can look for hard lumps, bumps, red and white spots, and rough patches – all traditional signs of oral cancer. If we see these signs, we can refer you to an oncologist for further testing.
Check out what others are saying about our general dentistry services on Yelp: General Dentistry Services West Roxbury.
Bad breath treatments. If your breath is smelly, you do not have to live with it. Call 617-415-9350 to schedule a dental examination and bad breath treatment. Very often, this is caused by a cavity, infection, or gum disease. By cleaning your teeth and your tongue, we can typically remove the cause of your bad breath. If you have another issue, like dry mouth, that is causing the problem, we can discuss further ways to improve it.
Treating gum disease. In our West Roxbury, MA dental office, we both prevent and treat gum disease. This is one of our most important general dentistry services because if gum disease is left untreated, it can lead to gum recession and tooth loss. We can treat it by removing plaque from underneath your gums. Typically, this will help restore your gums to good health. However, if your gums begin to recede, we can discuss more intensive general dentistry services.
Dental sealant. If you or your children have deep ridges on the chewing surfaces of your teeth, you should consider dental sealant. Patients can use this procedure as a way to reduce their risk of developing cavities. This is an easy way to protect your teeth, because we can apply sealant in a matter of minutes. It works by acting like a protective barrier so food particles and plaque cannot become trapped, thereby reducing your risk of developing cavities.
Fluoride treatments. Studies have found that a fluoride treatment can reduce your child's risk of getting cavities by 30 percent or more. If you live in the 02132 area, visit our dental office and ask for a fluoride treatment on an annual basis. Fluoride works as a mineral that strengthens your teeth. In between appointments, you can use a fluoride toothpaste to continue strengthening them.
Fillings. At Fadi R Metri & Associates, we can treat any of your cavities and restore the missing tooth structure with a dental filling. We can place natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings, so your tooth looks both natural and beautiful.
Root canals. If the center of your tooth is infected, you most likely need a root canal. The obvious sign of this is if you have tooth sensitivity or a toothache. To perform a root canal, we will create a small hole in the tooth to remove the infected area prior to cleaning the area, seal it up with a rubber-like material, and then use a filling or dental crown to restore and protect the tooth. We will numb the area to be sure you feel comfortable during the procedure. It will last slightly longer than treating a cavity, but the process is fairly similar. This is one of the general dentistry services we perform to save an infected tooth and prevent the need for it to be extracted.
Restorations. If you have damaged your tooth, our general dentistry services can restore it in both form and appearance. We have several options for doing so, including dental bonding, dental veneers, and dental crowns. All of these options can look natural and make your tooth function as well as it did prior to becoming damaged.
Preventative Care Tips From Our General Dentistry Office
As a provider of general dentistry services, we understand the power and importance of education. We believe that when our patients are better informed, they can make healthier decisions that will reduce the likelihood of them developing cavities or infections. This is why Dr. Metri takes the time to discuss oral health. When you visit our West Roxbury dental office, we can show you and your family how to brush your teeth properly, how to select the right toothbrush, what foods to avoid and what foods to eat for a healthy mouth and beautiful smile. We can also provide you with specific instructions that relate to your personal oral health. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call (617) 415-9350.

Muzzleloading Rifles, Shotguns, and Handguns
Muzzleloaders are most commonly rifles. However, there are also smooth-bored muzzleloaders—shotguns. Shotgun muzzleloaders can have either a single barrel or double barrels joined side-by-side. When loading the double-barreled muzzleloader, it's critical to avoid putting the two loads down the same barrel. Double-barreled guns usually have two locks, one for each barrel. This allows the shooter to fire each barrel separately before the gun is reloaded. Most double-barreled guns were designed with two triggers.
Muzzleloading handguns come as both pistols and revolvers. Pistols are mainly single-shot. The revolvers contain multiple-shot chambers. Chain firing muzzleloading revolvers can be dangerous. When the chamber round is fired, it produces sparks that could accidentally ignite loads in another cylinder(s). Therefore, be sure to protect each load in the cylinder with a coating of grease to prevent sparks from entering the open end of the other cylinders.

The average price you will find for a custom animation video for one minute can range between £2,000 to £20,000.
For an hourly rate, you should be looking at paying around £15 to £60 an hour, depending on the level of experience and work ranking.
Benefits of 2D Animation
There are numerous benefits that you can experience with 2D animation, here are some to mention:
- More cost-effective than 3D.
- Adaptable and easily updated.
- Quick to produce.
- Enjoyable to watch.
Finding a 2D Animation Video Production Company
The most common form of 2D animation you will see is an animated video, which can range from a small project to an entire creative effort.
Most 2D animation studios in East Jarrow will generally focus on 2D video production through computer-generated animation since the market is big and animated videos can be used by nearly any client that wants to hire them.
A video production company can be incredibly useful, but finding a good 2D animation production company can take some extra care if you are unsure where to start.
One of the quickest ways to find animation studios under certain criteria is to just search for them online.
Searching is an easy way to get an idea of which companies exist in your local area and can usually lead you to digital portfolios or online sites that show off their teams of talented and creative video animators.
Always put searches first since this skips a lot of unnecessary hassle. A good search with the right search terms can bring you to an animation studio in your local area, such as East Jarrow, that is open to being hired.
If you want animated videos as a marketing project from a London-based studio, then you should reflect that in the search terms that you use. "London marketing animated video production company" could work, but that is just a baseline – you should refine and tailor your search to what you are looking for as the web is a large place.
Social Media
Social media is full of independent 2D animators, usually owning their own pages on sites like Facebook and Twitter, making it an invaluable place to hunt for studios that are willing to make 2D animations.
Social media also means that you get to see what the brand can create and show off to the public. Some brands might make posts about their team, publicly announce each project they finish for clients or even put outposts asking for people to hire them.
With social media being so up-to-date, this makes it a lot easier to see their current status and the level of quality behind the things a 2D animator will create.
The other benefit of social media is that it is quick, meaning that any company can get attention from another at any time without needing a professional connection.
You can send a quick message to an award-winning 2D animation company in East Jarrow straight through social media channels, and a reply can come just as quickly thanks to the computer software and mobile apps they use.
Business Listings
There are plenty of sites on the web that are based around listing businesses and companies in a certain niche.
Using these sites can be incredibly efficient: they let you see every 2D animation company that has been added to the list at once and might even give you web links to their sites or contact pages.
You can visit these sites in any web browser, and they are simple enough to not need any other web software or applications to use properly.
If you would like to receive even more information on 2d animation services in East Jarrow, make sure you get in touch with us today!
Choosing 2D Animation Services
Whether you would like character animation, production process help, all-around computer animation, or sound effects and visual effects, the most important part of 2D animation development is finding a team that can create it properly.
In the age of digital animation, it is easier than ever to find a team that will create what you are looking for, but choosing that team can still be tricky at first.
Almost every video production studio will have a portfolio online, and that includes 2D animation studios. This gives them an easy way to show off their own work, but it can also double as a great sales pitch if you are trying to decide which video production team to work with.
The content of these portfolios can change depending on the kind of video production company you are looking at.
Some will be mostly focused on games and some entertainment software, while others will be more geared towards digital marketing.
Usually, going for a company in Tyne and Wear that has worked in your niche before can help, although a lot of these animations teams are flexible when it comes to the project they work on.
Portfolios might also contain information about the briefing given for a project, the way it was received, or even which specific team was involved in creating it. This might give you an idea of which key animator does their best work and how you can narrow down the projects, they will be best at.
2D animation is constantly benefiting from the development of new animation technology, and that means that one agency in East Jarrow might be more advanced than another.
Excellent quality 2D animation does not always need the best software, though, and it depends on how creative your marketing material actually is. Sometimes, paying more for higher-tier equipment will not actually change the resulting animation much.
For example, a small animation used for meetings in a professional setting won't really need a highly-creative agency with all of the latest film-level technology since development on the animation is more about creating a clear point than trying to look enticing.
On the other hand, a major marketing project that is meant to appeal to the London public will usually need the best gear possible.
Some companies use ideas like flipbook-style hand-drawn animation to stand out in the industry, making their company's 2d animation more unique and creative while also saving on video production costs.
Animation Style
Animation is not just as simple as making pictures move. The style of motion and the way that the animators add personal touches to a project can all feed into how the end product looks, and that means that they will have their own styles that they work best with.
For example, asking a 2D animation production team in East Jarrow to create something with 3D animation tools would not be easy for them, and animation styles can be just as tricky.
One team might have a very professional and flat style that is best for formal presentations, while another team is better for fast, fluid, and snappy mobile ads.
Video game mobile ad animations have very different design requirements from an explainer video aimed at workplace safety, so an agency in East Jarrow that works with one more than the other can bleed styles together in ways that you might not have expected. This is not bad, but it is something to keep in mind.
Basically, choose a style that you think will work with what you are trying to create. Techniques from full animated films do not always work on short ads for mobile games, but that does not mean that they can't – you just need to be sure that it will all fit together well.
Transparency and Accuracy
2D animation is always hard, and video production as a whole can be tricky. A video production agency in East Jarrow usually tries to keep clients happy with the videos or animation sequences that they produce, but they might also want to be creative with what they have been given. On the other hand, a different 2D animation agency might want you to be direct and firm with your needs.
For example, if your brand has an established set of marketing material that can be turned into an animation, then the animation team manager might just ask you for some ideas and promise that they can fit it all together. However, brands with no major digital marketing presence will need to tell the team manager what their focus is.
There is nothing bad with a creative team, but a creative team still needs to keep the projects accurate. You are their customer, so you should be able to get in touch regularly and see how the project is going. If development is veering off in a direction that does not suit your marketing needs, you should be able to tell them that and offer ideas to re-focus the animation videos they are creating.
Proper communication software is vital here. In the animation industry, it is hard for a small group of animators to know exactly what you want, and you can't always act as a director for them unless you have animation experience yourself. Keep in contact with the company and tell them if they start being "too creative" with what they are offering.
Sound is something that many people overlook when it comes to 2D animation, and a 2D animation sequence without good sound can seem far worse than it really is. Sound is a key part of the design process, but not all 2D animation agencies are going to be sound experts.
For example, your marketing materials and explainer video clips might contain voiceovers, or your mobile ads for video games might need proper sound effects. Often, you will have to provide these yourself, usually before development on the animation project even starts.
Remember that every 2D animation you get for marketing purposes comes from a studio that sees you as one of their clients. They need to know what their clients want, so that usually means giving them a script or outline. If there are key visuals you want to match with the sounds you have in mind, then make sure to include that in the plan.
Why Use 2D Animation over 3D Animation?
2D animation services and video production companies in East Jarrow are a great place to get a team of talented, creative artists that can produce excellent 2D animations. While 3D animation can sometimes seem more impressive, both types of video animation are very useful, and they each have their own flaws. For most companies, though, 2D animations are simply more sustainable for most marketing projects.
A 2D animation company can still need a fairly good budget to make great 2D animation, but far, far less than a 3D animation would cost. 2D animation is generally done in a way that makes it easy to re-use assets.
3D animation is a lot harder to keep cheap since it can take a team of people to even create and rig the models needed for the video animation.
The animation company can't just sketch out something new – they have to model it, rig it, and make sure that it works in a 3D space.
2D animation is almost always faster than 3D animation.
When your focus is on speed rather than cost, pumping out marketing videos is much easier with 2D animation.
Just like video games, 2D is often cheaper and quicker since there is only a single 'layer', and the entire thing can be done by a single person with one skillset.
For companies that are marketing games or other products that have existing 3D models, this problem can be partially solved, but 3D animation still needs plenty of unique assets and visual art that takes time to produce.
While good 3D animation is unbeatable in terms of quality, it is much more likely that a chosen animation video production studio will end up creating something with quality issues.
Since 2D animation is easier to make anyway, visual errors or mismatched art is not as much of a problem. Even if the 2D animation is quick and cheap, it is hard to make 2D animation look truly bad if you are aiming for something simple.
It is a lot easier to find 2D animation teams in East Jarrow simply because it is an easier field to get into – it usually only takes art skills and the right technology for animators to make that art move. This keeps the cost down, but it also means that there are more and more unique animation team options appearing every year.
The constant flow of professional 2D animation services ensures that you will always find one that can help you, no matter what kind of animation you are looking for.
It also makes it a lot easier to find a team in your local area if you are specifically aiming to create a local marketing campaign.
How Can I Use 2D Animation Services?
2D animation development and design give United Kingdom companies plenty of options with how they market their products or services, both in a fully-digital or television-based medium.
However, whether you act as a director or just hire a studio to create their own material from your assets, there are multiple ways that a company manager can decide to approach a 2D animation project.
2D Animated Explainer Videos
Explainer videos are essentially anything that goes to a customer to explain something.
This is not always a marketing tool – it can be a quick way to create safety videos without setting up a real filming space or can take on more niche uses, like animations used to direct plane passengers to emergency exits and the controls near their seats.
Explainer videos like this are an excellent option for a variety of uses and ideas and often do not need to be complicated, so they are quick and do not cost much. The 2D animation they use is generally limited, but this keeps information clear and makes the videos easy to digest.
2D Motion Graphics
Motion graphics are a very simple form of animation. The name explains it all: they are 2D animation that focuses more on text and graphics in a presentation style, something that is often used to spice up existing presentations and documents before they go public-facing. This makes them a great, cheap, and often a very aesthetically-appealing choice of 2D animation.
While they are usually the most limited of all 2D animation types, motion graphics can fill certain niches extremely well.
A lot of companies in East Jarrow rely on digital motion graphics as a core part of their marketing and brand identity since motion graphics can be made from almost any images.
The hardest part of making motion graphics work is keeping the art style consistent since most motion graphics are built off of stock images or easily-made vectors. Depending on where you get the images from, it is possible for motion graphics to look mismatched unless they are altered by the 2D animation team.
2D Promo Video
A 2D promo video can be a great way to simplify a promo while also keeping the important parts visible. For example, if you were showing off the functions of a new tablet, using 2D animation over the footage of the tablet in action could be a great way to keep both customers, and potential investors focused on the product itself.
The focus of a promo video is to promote something, and that focus can be easier to handle when the 2D animation is specifically designed around real-life footage. It can also be used as a proof-of-concept promo: for example, you could animate a product and show off its solutions without actually having a physical prototype ready.

What Else Should I Consider?
2D animation (and video production in general) can be tricky. Video production is already hard, and while 2D animation can make it a little easier, that does not remove the issues of having video development, creative focus, design tweaks, and actually producing the full piece of animation media.
Every animation project has something specific to focus on and trying to focus on what these projects demand can seem hard at first. However, there are some key things to consider when you are planning out an animation based on your own brand.
Number of Videos
Videos are not always a one-time project, especially when it comes to marketing. Successful marketing can make that series of animations become synonymous with your company and might even lead to some of the clips going viral. Of course, that only means that you will want to push out more – which is not easy if you are no longer clients with that animation company.
Stay on good terms with the digital design and animation teams, and try to plan out the content you want to make. The more complex your animations are, the harder it can be for a new team to replicate the video production style and art design of your previous animation company.
Full Length
Do you want your completed video production to be ten minutes of motion graphics or just ten seconds?
Does your company need an ad to be fully animated, or can you get away with some static screens to cut costs down?
Are you willing to edit your own material into the animation, or would you prefer to leave the project as-is?
A lot of this matters when you are trying to design a clip for marketing purposes.
Development Cost
Video production and development might not be costly at first, but how long do you actually need the team to work on your videos? More importantly, do they need any digital tools that they do not already own? All of this could add to the video production costs.
If you are in the United Kingdom, you might want to use a video production team in East Jarrow, United Kingdom. While this is not always that important, it can sometimes be vital if you are trying to make an ad that is very specific to the United Kingdom.
When you are targeting a particular group of customers in London, for example, then a London-accented voiceover that speaks clear English can be desirable.
Are you going to be the director of the projects, or will you leave that to the team manager? Sometimes it helps to be hands-on with the design, especially if your company needs something very specific.
On the other hand, if you know nothing about video production, it might be bad to start interfering with the design process once the group already knows where they should focus their attention.
The focus of your videos is important. For example, if you want to focus your videos on clients and offer them B2B solutions, then it is important to focus more on the solutions than the art design. On the other hand, if you are trying to focus on attracting customers that might be using competitor brands, then you should make that focus clear by creating content that could draw them in.
Essentially, you want a video production plan that creates a video appropriate for how you plan to use it. Whether it is for clients or customer bases, you need to think in terms of brands and the things you actually sell.
Video Production Behaviour
You are the clients of the animation team, whether they are making motion graphics or a hand-drawn animated sequence. They are there to satisfy the needs of their clients, but they also want clients that work with them, not against them. If you upset a major United Kingdom studio by demanding things that they can't do for their clients, then that can set a chain of problems in motion.
You are the clients, so you always have a say in what they make, but you need to avoid being one of their bad clients. Whether it's a United Kingdom company or one from overseas, you should listen to the experts if a problem comes up, especially if you have no animation experience yourself.

Note, however, that the Vatican also claims that this guy (see picture below) is the holiest of holy men and God's spokesperson on Earth (pause for chuckles and eye-rolling). Seriously though, if you can't feel the abominable evil emanating from this guy, then you've lost the plot, your sixth-sense is non-existent, and your third-eye is wide shut.
Personally I'm convinced that the EGOP is authentic scripture, and I base that on intuition, verifiable facts of health, similarity to other scriptures, the history/lifestyle of the Essenes, and because the Vatican denies it. Regardless of authenticity though, it is a very interesting text with a multitude of excellent health recommendations, and should be read on that merit alone. Read online here, or download a free PDF version here.
I highly recommend reading the short book for yourselves, but the above videos and the below excerpts should wet your whistle for now. Also check out Debbie Took of Raw for Life's great articles on the EGOP here: Article 1, Article 2.
God, Satan, Sin, and Health
"For I tell you truly, evils and dangers innumerable lie in wait for the Sons of Men. Beelzebub, the prince of all devils, the source of every evil, lies in wait in the body of all the Sons of Men. He is death, the lord of every plague, and taking upon him a pleasing raiment, he tempts and entices the Sons of Men. Riches does he promise, and power, and splendid palaces, and garments of gold and silver, and a multitude of servants, all these; he promises renown and glory, fornication and lustfulness, gluttony and wine-bibbing, riotous living, and slothfulness and idle days. And he entices every one by that to which their heart is most inclined. And in the day that the Sons of Men have already become the slaves of all these vanities and abominations, then in payment thereof he snatches from the Sons of Men all those things which the Earthly Mother gave them so abundantly. He takes from them their breath, their blood, their bone, their flesh, their bowels, their eyes and their ears. And the breath of the Son of Man becomes short and stifled, full of pain and evil-smelling, like the breath of unclean beasts. And his blood becomes thick and evil-smelling, like the water of the swamps; it clots and blackens, like the night of death. And his bone becomes hard and knotted; it melts away within and breaks asunder, as a stone falling down upon a rock. And his flesh waxes fat and watery; it rots and putrefies, with scabs and boils that are an abomination. And his bowels become full with abominable filthiness, with oozing streams of decay; and multitudes of abominable worms have their habitation there. And his eyes grow dim, till dark night enshrouds them, and his ears become stopped, like the silence of the grave. And last of all shall the erring Son of Man lose life. For he kept not the laws of his Mother, and added sin to sin. Therefore, are taken from him all the gifts of the Earthly Mother: breath, blood, bone, flesh, bowels, eyes and ears, and after all else, life, with which the Earthly Mother crowned his body."
"Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men. In everything that is life is the law written. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit. They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears, and in every little part of your body. They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams, in the depths and in the heights. They all speak to you that you may understand the tongue and the will of the living God. But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"
"You do not understand the words of life, because you are in death. Darkness darkens your eyes and your ears are stopped with deafness. For I tell you, it profits you not at all that you pore over dead scriptures if by your deeds you deny him who has given you the scriptures. I tell you truly, God and his laws are not in that which you do. They are not in gluttony and in wine-bibbing, neither in riotous living, nor in lustfulness, nor in seeking after riches, nor yet in hatred of your enemies. For all these things are far from the true God and from his angels. But all these things come from the kingdom of darkness and the lord of all evils. And all these things do you carry in yourselves; and so the word and the power of God enter not into you, because all manner of evil and all manner of abominations have their dwelling in your body and your spirit. If you will that the living God's word and his power may enter you, defile not your body and your spirit; for the body is the temple of the spirit, and the spirit is the temple of God. Purify, therefore, the temple, that the Lord of the temple may dwell therein and occupy a place that is worthy of him."
Fasting, Detoxing, and True Baptism
"Renew yourselves and fast. For I tell you truly, that Satan and his plagues may only be cast out by fasting and by prayer. Go by yourself and fast alone, and show your fasting to no man. The living God shall see it and great shall be your reward. And fast till Beelzebub and all his evils depart from you, and all the angels of our Earthly Mother come and serve you. For I tell you truly, except you fast, you shall never be freed from the power of Satan and from all diseases that come from Satan. Fast and pray fervently, seeking the power of the living God for your healing."
"Seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd, having a stalk the length of a man; take out its inwards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree, and kneel upon the ground before the angel of water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels. Afterwards rest kneeling on the ground before the angel of water and pray to the living God that he will forgive you all your past sins, and pray the angel of water that he will free your body from every uncleanness and disease. Then let the water run out from your body, that it may carry away from within it all the unclean and evil-smelling things of Satan. And you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose all the abominations, and uncleannesses which defiled the temple of your body; even all the sins which abode in your body, tormenting you with all manner of pains. I tell you truly, baptism with water frees you from all of these. Renew your baptizing with water on every day of your fast, till the day when you see that the water which flows out of you is as pure as the river's foam. Then betake your body to the coursing river, and there in the arms of the angel of water render thanks to the living God that he has freed you from your sins. And this holy baptizing by the angel of water is: Rebirth unto the new life. For your eyes shall henceforth see, and your ears shall hear. Sin no more, therefore, after your baptism, that the angels of air and of water may eternally abide in you and serve you evermore."
"You suffer, for Satan and his diseases torment your bodies. But fear not, for their power over you will quickly end. For Satan is like a choleric neighbor who entered his neighbor's house while he was absent, intending to take his goods away to his own house. But some told the other that his enemy was ravaging within his house, and he came back to his house, running. And when the wicked neighbor, having gathered together all that pleased him, saw from afar the master of the house returning in haste, then he was very wroth that he could not take all away, and set to breaking and spoiling all that was there, to destroy all. So that even if the things might not be his, the other might have nothing. But immediately the lord of the house came in, and before the wicked neighbor fulfilled his purpose, he took him and cast him out of the house. I tell you truly, even so did Satan enter your bodies which are the habitation of God. And he took in his power all that he wished to steal: your breath, your blood, your bone, your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, and your ears. But by your fasting and your prayer, you have called back the lord of your body and his angels. And now Satan sees that the true lord of your body returns, and that it is the end of his power. Wherefore, in his wrath he gathers his strength once again, that he may destroy your bodies before the coming of the lord. It is for this that Satan torments you so grievously, for he feels that the end is come. But let not your hearts tremble, for soon will the angels of God appear, to occupy again their abodes and rededicate them as temples of God. And they will seize Satan and cast him from your bodies with all his diseases and all his uncleannesses. And happy will you be, for you will receive the reward of your steadfastness, and you will never see disease."
And many unclean and sick followed Jesus' words and sought the banks of the murmuring streams. They put off their shoes and their clothing, they fasted, and they gave up their bodies to the angels of air, of water, and of sunshine. And the Earthly Mother's angels embraced them, possessing their bodies both inwards and outwards. And all of them saw all evils, sins and uncleannesses depart in haste from them. And the breath of some became as stinking as that which is loosed from the bowels, and some had an issue of spittle, and evil-smelling and unclean vomit rose from their inward parts. All these uncleannesses flowed by their mouths. In some, by the nose, in others by the eyes and ears. And many did have a noisome and abominable sweat come from all their body, over all their skin. And on many limbs great hot boils broke forth, from which came out uncleannesses with an evil smell, and urine flowed abundantly from their body; and in many their urine was all but dried up and became thick as the honey of bees; that of others was almost red or black, and as hard almost as the sand of rivers. And many belched stinking gases from their bowels, like the breath of devils. And their stench became so great that none could bear it. And when they baptized themselves, the angel of water entered their bodies, and from them flowed out all the abominations and uncleannesses of their past sins, and like a falling mountain stream gushed from their bodies a multitude of hard and soft abominations. And the ground where their waters flowed was polluted, and so great became the stench that none could remain there. And the devils left their bowels in the shape of multitudinous worms which writhed in impotent rage after the angel of water had cast them out of the bowels of the Sons of Men.
Vegetarianism and Murder
He who kills, kills his brother. And from him will the Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluck from him her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath their breath to stink; in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones to chalk; in his bowels their bowels to decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales; in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death. For only in the service of your Heavenly Father are your debts of seven years forgiven in seven days. But Satan forgives you nothing and you must pay him for all. 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot; burning for burning, wound for wound; life for life, death for death.' For the wages of sin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan. For that is the path of sufferings, and it leads unto death. But do the will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way of life. Obey, therefore, the words of God: 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is breath of life, I give every green herb for meat. Also the milk of every thing that moveth and liveth upon earth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given unto them, so I give their milk unto you. But flesh, and the blood which quickens it, shall ye not eat."
And after these words they all remained silent, save one, who called out: "What am I to do, Master, if I see a wild beast rend my brother in the forest? Shall I let my brother perish, or kill the wild beast? Shall not I thus transgress the law?"
And Jesus answered: "It was said to them of old time: 'All beasts that move upon the earth, all the fish of the sea, and all the fowl of the air are given into thy power.' I tell you truly, of all creatures living upon the earth, God created only man after his image. Wherefore beasts are for man, and not man for beasts. You do not, therefore, transgress the law if you kill the wild beast to save your brother's life. For I tell you truly, man is more than the beast. But he who kills the beast without a cause, though the beast attack him not, through lust for slaughter, or for its flesh, or for its hide, or yet for its tusks, evil is the deed which he does, for he is turned into a wild beast himself. Wherefore is his end also as the end of the wild beasts."
"I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are."Raw Food
"So eat always from the table of God: the fruits of the trees, the grain and grasses of the field, the milk of beasts, and the honey of bees. For everything beyond these is of Satan, and leads by the way of sins and of diseases unto death. But the foods which you eat from the abundant table of God give strength and youth to your body, and you will never see diseases. For the table of God fed Methuselah of old, and I tell you truly, if you live even as he lived, then will the God of the living give you also long life upon the earth as was his. For I tell you truly, the God of the living is richer than all the rich of the earth, and his abundant table is richer than the richest table of feasting of all the rich upon the earth. Eat, therefore, all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will never see want. And when you eat at her table, eat all things even as they are found on the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not, neither mix all things one with another, lest your bowels become as steaming bogs. For I tell you truly, this is abominable in the eyes of the Lord."
"Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also. Be not like the foolish husbandman who sowed in his ground cooked, and frozen, and rotten seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields bore nothing. And great was his distress. But be like that husbandman who sowed in his field living seed, and whose field bore living ears of wheat, paying a hundredfold for the seeds which he planted. For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also."
"Master, where is the fire of life?" asked some of them.
"In you, in your blood, and in your bodies."
"And the fire of death?" asked others.
"It is the fire which blazes outside your body, which is hotter than your blood. With that fire of death you cook your foods in your homes and in your fields. I tell you truly, it is the same fire which destroys your foods and your bodies, even as the fire of malice, which ravages your thoughts, ravages your spirits. For your body is that which you eat, and your spirit is that which you think. Eat nothing, therefore, which a stronger fire than the fire of life has killed. Wherefore, prepare and eat all fruits of trees, and all grasses of the fields, and all milk of beasts good for eating. For all these are fed and ripened by the fire of life; all are the gift of the angels of our Earthly Mother. But eat nothing to which only the fire of death gives savor, for such is of Satan."
Jesus' Raw Unleavened Wheat Bread
"How should we cook our daily bread without fire, Master?" asked some with great astonishment.
"Let the angels of God prepare your bread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it in the air, that the angel of air also may embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did your forefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put them back again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to its highest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embraced there also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set. For the angels of water, of air, and of sunshine fed and ripened the wheat in the field, and they, likewise, must prepare also your bread. And the same sun which, with the fire of life, made the wheat to grow and ripen, must cook your bread with the same fire. For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread, and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread, and the body. And the living angels of the living God serve only living men. For God is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead."

"I beg your pardon?"
"I want a yarn cave," he said. "I was just watching that house hunting show with Dolores and the man didn't like the first seventeen houses because there was no space for a man cave where he could watch television without his wife. I want a yarn cave so I can watch television without Dolores."
"Dolores," I shouted, "stop hogging the television! I am not going to have this argument again."
"I couldn't agree with you more," she shouted back.
"It's not fair," said Harry. "I want to watch the new Learning Channel documentary about Yarn Pixies and she keeps putting on Emanuelle Goes to Maryland Sheep and Wool and telling me I have to leave the room."
"You two are really going to have to work this out yourselves."
"I want a yarn cave!" said Harry.
"We don't have space for a yarn cave. This is a big city. It's crowded. We live in an apartment. And it's a pretty nice apartment, as apartments go. Lots of yarn would be happy to have as much room to roll around as you have."
"Yarn cave! Yarn cave!"
"You know who has lots of room?" I said. "Mrs. Teitelbaum. Maybe you would like to go next door and see if she would let you move in with her and Tinkles."
"Maybe I will," said Harry, stomping off. "Then when I am gone, boy will you be sorry."
Hah. He'll be back. Won't he?
I can't blame Harry for feeling overcrowded. Even though I have a work room, the whole apartment has been a carnival of frenzied fiber activity for the past couple of months. It's good to be busy, but busy + yarn = tangles. By Christmas, after four months of near-constant travel, this place looked like the inside of an old sewing basket that had been shaken by a gorilla. I conceded that it was time to address the mess when I tripped over a stray strand of merino in the kitchen and it knocked over a lamp in the bedroom.
My first sweater design (in Cascade 220 Sport) for publication–the Men's Color Band Pullover from Vogue Knitting Winter 2012/13, which goes on sale the day after this writing.
I had a ball with it. We (the three guy designers in the story) were challenged to come up with a sweater we'd wear ourselves on a casual day at the office.
I only wish I looked like the model, but the sweater truly is something I'd wear.
It has very little ease, because I (and most men) look terrible in baggy sweaters. It tapers from the chest to the waist, because unshaped sweaters make me (and most men) look like they're wearing feed sacks. And though it has a basis in the traditional male palette of brown/earth/gray, I added purple and lavender houndstooth because life is too damned short wear nothing but brown/earth/gray.
There's this, a hat in so-called Bavarian Twisted Stitch. (Twisted, yes. Bavarian, not necessarily.)
It's a model for one of my new classes, débuting at Vogue Knitting Live! New York in just a little while. (That class is sold out, but a few of my other sessions have seats. Do come and play.)
There's also this.
Why, that's not knitting! That's not knitting at all!
Nope, it's card weaving. Because I needed one more thing to do with string.
I've felt the urge to weave spring up once or twice, but always ran into roadblocks. A lack of space, for one. Also, the insistence of all my weaving friends and acquaintances that I would have to start with a plain dish towel.
I don't want to weave a plain dish towel. I want to make fabric with patterns. My weaving friends insisted that you cannot start out by weaving patterns, you have to start with a plain dish towel. Apparently this commandment is chiseled onto a stone tablet on a mountain near Taos.
I asked about all those unfortunate children who are forced into weaving patterned carpets. The horrors of their situation aside, if a five-year-old can weave patterns, why can't I?
Because you have to start with a plain dish towel, they said. It is written. Or chiseled, or something.
Then I met this guy when we were both teaching at the same event. He was working with tiny looms. So small they would easily fit on a coffee table. His beginning students were weaving bands covered in patterns.
So I said can you teach me, and John said yeah; and now I have a tiny loom and am making my own patterned bootlaces, which I think is hot.
We've become good buddies (he'll also be at Squam, teaching card weaving) and for the ducks of it we've decided to collaborate on a piece of design: a bag, with a knitted body and a woven strap.
Here's the yarn we're using: Cobasi by Hikoo.
Cobasi is a blend of COtton, BAmboo, and SIlk–get it?) distributed by Skacel. It is, in a word, groovy. The impetus was a desire to offer a really good wool-free sock yarn, and what they've come up with works equally well for knitting and card weaving.
Our challenge is to turn out a project that combines weaving and knitting in a beautiful, practical fashion. We're going to chronicle the development of the bag–for better or worse– right here in this space. More to come.

Neuroscience tells us that, to be more productive and creative, we need to give our brains a break. It's the quiet mind that produces the best insights. But it's a challenge to take that sort of time off in the midst of a busy day. Here are three specific, quick, and easy ways to build purposeful break time into your day.
Quick Meditation
New research from the UCLA Laboratory of Neuro Imaging suggests that people who meditate show more gray matter in certain regions of the brain, show stronger connections between brain regions and show less age-related brain atrophy. In other words, meditation might make your brain bigger, faster, and "younger". As lead researcher Eileen Luders explains, "it appears to be a powerful mental exercise with the potential to change the physical structure of the brain."
Tip: If you commute via public transportation (or even if you're a passenger in a car pool) use the time to close your eyes for 10 minutes. If you drive, leave a little early, park, and spend 10 minutes in the car before you walk into work. Choose a very specific image, such as a waterfall, beach, or tree, and try to focus on it alone. If other thoughts get in the way, gently push them aside. Do this once or twice per day. The goal is to let your mind achieve a sense of relaxed awareness.
Psychologist K. Anders Ericsson, renown for his research and theories on expertise, points out that top performers in fields ranging from music to science to sports tend to work in approximately 90-minute cycles and then take a break. We are designed to pulse, to move between spending and renewing energy. Pulsing is the simplest, easiest, most immediate way to build breaks into your day.
Tip: Download a "break-reminder" utility, such as Scirocco or Healthy Hints, and set it to ping you every 90 minutes. Focus hard on a particular task until that cue. And then take a walk, talk to a colleague, doodle, or listen to music. Do anything that renews you and gives you a "second wind," even if you think you don't need it. You do. Five minutes later, get back to work.
Daydream Walks
Most people have heard the story about how 3M's Arthur Fry came up with the idea for the Post-it note: he was daydreaming in church. Jonathan Schooler, a researcher at UC Santa Barbara, has repeatedly shown that people like Fry who daydream and let their minds wander score higher on creativity tests. What separates this from meditation is that, instead of emptying your mind, you're letting it fill up with random thoughts. The trick is to remain aware enough to recognize a sudden insight when it comes.
Tip: Start by taking 20 minutes, two days a week during your lunch break to take a stroll and daydream. Think about anything you want besides work—a beach vacation, building your dream house, playing shortstop for the Yankees, whatever. Ramp it up to three or four days a week. The next time someone catches you daydreaming on the job and asks you why you're not working, tell them that in fact you're tapping into your creative brain.

I have bought 2 sites from Odys Global and they have both been of high quality with great backlinks. I have used one as the basis for creating a new site with a great DR and the other is a redirect with again high DR backlinks. Other sites I have looked through have low quality backlinks, mostly spam. I highly recommend this company for reliable sites.

I've bought over 30 domains from Odys Global in the last two years and I was always very satisfied. Besides great quality, niche-specific auction domains, Alex also helped me a lot with SEO and marketing strategies. Auction domains are not cheap, but quality comes with a price. If you have the budget and a working strategy, these domains will make you serious money.

Earlier this year, I purchased an aged domain from Odys as part of a promo they're running at the time. It was my first experience with buying an aged domain so I wanted to keep my spend low. I ended up getting a mid level DR domain for a good price. The domain had solid links from niche relevant high authority websites. I used the site as a 301 redirect to a blog I had recently started. Within a few weeks I enjoyed new traffic levels on my existing site. Happy to say that the Odys staff are friendly and helpful and they run a great business that is respected within the industry.

Predicting a presidential winner is one of America's favorite pastimes in an election year.
Pundits and bloggers rely on introspection and retrospection for their predictions. The politerati prognosticate at Aspen Institute round tables and in the Cambridge Journal. Pollsters crunch survey data to divine a victor. Everybody gets in on the act.
One of the more historically successful seers is Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University and primogenitor of the 13 Keys to the Presidency. It's a checklist of a baker's dozen conditions that favor the continuing residency of the White House by the political party already in power. The incumbent president is judged on each of the checklist items, such as the strength of the economy, the state of social unrest, absence of a serious third-party candidate and the lack of a major scandal.
Lichtman's system — a sort of geophysical model, similar to one that might predict earthquakes — has correctly precogged presidential elections since 1984.
And this time around? "The keys have predicted an Obama win since January 2010," Lichtman says today.
Could that change before Election Day?
"The keys are the big picture and will not change," he says.
Lichtman is not the only prophesier who is sticking his neck out. People are using all kinds of portentous — and pretentious — indexes to augur the future, including Halloween mask sales and 7-Eleven coffee cups. Other forecasters are coming out of the woodwork — from the most unlikely places.
Folding Obama's Laundry
The renter-centric website Apartments.com surveyed its visitors and discovered that 70 percent of those who responded predict that President Obama will be re-elected. (In 2008, more than half of the renters surveyed preferred Obama to Republican John McCain.) In the 2012 contest between Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, more than 70 percent of respondents would prefer to have Obama as a neighbor or a landlord. And more than 70 percent said that if both candidates left their clean clothes in the apartment complex's laundry room, they would fold Obama's laundry.
At the Occidental Grill & Seafood in Washington — just a stone crab's throw from the White House — political observers are not only reading tea leaves, but chocolate chip cookie choices. Diners select from a pair of dessert delicacies — one with mint is made from a recipe by Michelle Obama; the one with M&M's comes from Ann Romney.
And American Chia is giving customers freedom of choice between Chia Obama and Chia Romney — statuettes that grow grass on their heads. "Just spread the seeds, water and watch them grow," the says. Roughly speaking, the site reports, Chia Obama sales are at 63 percent, and Chia Romney sales are at 37 percent.
Football Or Baseball?
Meanwhile, analysts at the ticket-resale behemoth StubHub have found that sports fans in Republican-favoring states buy a lot more football tickets, while fans in Democratic-leaning states buy more baseball tickets. Is it possible that flipping that information around may help us know which candidate will win which state?
In September 2008, both New York and Massachusetts — strong Obama states — had very high "BFRs" (baseball-to-football ratios). Massachusetts had the second highest ratio out of all the states in the nation, according to StubHub data, and New York had the seventh highest. Now, in 2012, the BFRs continue to be high in both states: Massachusetts was ranked fifth in September and New York was eighth.
On the other hand, Texas — a strong Romney state — has one of the lowest BFRs in the nation: More folks are buying football tickets and, presumably, voting Republican. In September 2008, Texas had the 39th highest BFR, and in September 2012, it was 38th.
According to Andy Sevastopoulos of StubHub, back in 2008, the states that bought baseball tickets over football tickets by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio — including Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and New York — all went for Obama. And the states that purchased football tickets in a vast majority over baseball — including Alabama, Louisiana, West Virginia, Kentucky and Idaho — favored McCain by at least a 10-point advantage.
This time around, sports fans in the swing states of Colorado, Iowa and North Carolina have been buying more football tickets on StubHub than they did in 2008, and those in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia are buying more baseball tickets.
What does all of this mean? When all is said and done, of course, the only thing that surveys by attention-seeking companies such as StubHub, Apartments.com or Chia actually prove is that all kinds of companies are getting into the prophesy game.
But you could have predicted that.
