Mary must have had such faith in her God, and in her Savior, in order to endure the worry and agony resulting from her child's mortal path.
First I laughed so hard it hurt,
Then later I cried the tears of healing,
Finally, I slept.
Handspun yarn is much like life. The beauty is found in the lumps and bumps as well as in the smooth sections.
Spinning and knitting in small scale can be a fun way to try out new ideas. Working with small gauge needles when the hands no longer cooperate all the time can be a challenge, but I am learning to embrace that challenge. The speed and dexterity of my youth may be long gone, but patience and determination have become my companions.
Age may be making me wiser in many ways, but I still sometimes foolishly think my body can handle the abuse it withstood when I was much younger.
Living with a disability like fibromyalgia is a never ending lesson in adjusting and making the best out of a tough situation. Take this morning for example. I woke up feeling rather good, a bit of shoulder stiffness, but otherwise bright-eyed and chipper. I prepared for church and found that the fatigue that often hits just prior to leaving the house at 9:15 AM was absent. I was really quite pleased because last week the fatigue hit just as church was starting. I find hiding a bout of pain is relatively easy compared to hiding a bout of fatigue. While it may be acceptable for small children and old men to doze during the congregational meeting, it is usually frowned upon for middle-aged ladies to do the same. So by comparison, shoulder-joint pain was manageable and I was looking forward to enjoying the meeting.
Alas, to my great dismay, I found myself becoming queasy and lightheaded not more than 10 minutes into the meeting. Sure I had arrived 10 minutes early to get a good seat, but 20 minutes sitting in a pew should not have been enough to have cause discomfort-induced nausea, regardless of the fact that my shoulder pain had been joined by a stiff neck and sore back. By the time the sacrament had been passed and the bishop was thanking the deacons for their efforts, I knew that I had to leave. I asked my husband to carry my overly large purse as a precaution, and I proceeded to leave the chapel. Upon reaching the foyer, I discovered I was struggling to breath much like I was having an asthma attack, but upon stepping outside, my breathing began to ease. Oh and the gooey eyes that I had been doing my best to ignore, cleared almost immediately.
It would appear that I was having an allergy attack. Since I am not terribly susceptible to airborne allergies and perfumes usually only give me headaches, today's strange reaction left me flustered and a bit frustrated. It is when the unusual, unanticipated, and odd physical symptoms hit that I find myself most severely struggling emotionally with my health issues. It during those moments that I want to weep. It is during those moments that I do my best to find a reason to smile. Today's reason to smile – fresh baked cookies.
I am now sore and tired, but I am not frustrated or emotionally weary. If I do get weepy by the end of the day, at least I now can dry my eyes with one hand while I eat a cookie with the other.

In our pursuit for excellence, let's never forget that we are already excellent. We are not starting from a place of failure, but rather from the exulted place from which our diligence and charitable natures has brought us thus far. Yes, we may stumble, and that stumble may make us feel low, but a stumble in itself does not make us lose ground. Rather the stumble reminds us of where we are on our journey. A stumble reminds us to take in our surroundings and reaffirm where we want to be and where we want to go.
During our journey, well-meaning people may only focus on where we need to go and minimize the importance of from where we have come. They will tell us not to dwell on the past and will tell us that we are weak for weeping. We should not wallow in frustration, disappointment, or pain, but we should always remember the struggle of our journey. It is when we remember from whence we came that we can truly celebrate where we are and where we are going.

Humble dandelion... so often seen in the eyes of many as just a weed, but it's true value is far worthier than that.
The many health benefits of dandelion make it a valuable plant to incorporate into your diet. It's flowers and leaves can be added to salads, or powdered dandelion root makes a great hot drink for easy assimilation of it's medicinal properties and nutritional benefits.
And the good thing is, there's a good chance of having easy access to fresh dandelion in your own garden somewhere. So rather than pulling it out as a weed when you come across it, let some flourish to provide you with free, plant-based, health-promoting nutrition direct from garden to mouth. Just dandy!!

Red raspberry history mentions them as coming from Asia in Roman records dating back to 4 AD. The Romans were probably responsible for spreading raspberries throughout Europe.
The English cultivated, hybridized and improved them throughout the middle ages.
Raspberry recipes first started to appear in cookbooks in the 1700s. These early recipes included vingars, wines, sauces and desserts.
The British brought the raspberry with them to New York State in North America in the late 1700s.
The black raspberry is one of three berries, along with blueberries and cranberries, uniquely native to North America.
The black raspberry was not cultivated until the 1800s because the imported red raspberry was considered a luxury item, and therefore more 'desireable'.
Scotland became famous for its red raspberry growing, and in the late fifties raspberries were taken from Scotland to Covent Garden on a steam train known as the Raspberry Special.
Today raspberries are one of the most popular garden berries, because they are so easy to grow.

Now for the areas that are totally out of my strengths. Well I fear them ...a lot. I sometimes see myself struggling in the situation and then fear sets in and I lose all my confidence and then start to panic which ultimately starts many negative things and I tend to quit or brush it aside and wait for the next opportunity to try again.
I feel that returning to school is also a small fear since it was slightly outside my strengths. I know though that for me to chase the dreams I have I need to adapt quickly and survive. I really do not just want to survive I really want to excel. I believe I can I just need a moment to breathe and pay attention.

Beating Cancer With Nutrition
Nutritional Therapy For Cancer – Beating Cancer With Nutrition
Have you heard the saying, "you are what you eat"? A lot of truth is in that statement, especially when fighting cancer. Nutrition therapy for cancer is all about choosing cancer-fighting foods and avoiding foods that create cancer-friendly conditions.
Patients in our comprehensive cancer care program meet with our certified cancer nutritionist in to establish a cancer diet that is rich in cancer-fighting vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, and low in compounds that increase cancer risks.
We address the key areas of your diet, including:
- Vitamins and minerals
- Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
- Water intake
- Foods that prevent cancer
- Foods to fight cancer during treatment
Choose Foods That Prevent Cancer
At Gentle Wellness Center, the centerpiece of our nutrition therapy for cancer program is nutritional counseling that helps patients choose a diet rich in cancer-preventing foods. While no cancer prevention diet is 100 percent effective, there are steps you can take to incorporate cancer-fighting foods into your diet.
Working with our nutritional counselors, you learn about:
- Common, easy-to-find cancer-preventing foods
- Foods that can increase your cancer risk
- Recipes to incorporate cancer-fighting foods into every meal
In addition to foods that help prevent cancer, foods that fight cancer are available, too. Foods like kale, broccoli, and cauliflower are natural cancer fighters. Your Gentle Wellness Center nutritional specialist will teach you about these powerful cancer-fighting foods and give you the information you need to make better nutritional choices during your treatment.
Replenish Your Body with Vitamins
As part of our beating cancer with nutrition program at Gentle Wellness Center, we help you develop a plan for getting the vitamins you need to fight your cancer and maintain optimal health during treatment. Distinguishing between vitamins that are critical to staying healthy and using vitamins for treating cancer is important.
Vitamin B17 and Vitamin C are among the more well-known vitamins used for treating cancer. Our medical staff helps educate you about the appropriate use of these treatments.
Since it can be difficult to get the therapeutic levels of vitamins and minerals you need to fight cancer through your diet alone, additional treatments are commonly used during nutrition therapy for cancer.
Common Nutritional Treatments Include:
IV vitamin therapy for overall health: This therapy provides the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids your immune system needs to remain strong during cancer treatment. Oral intake of vitamins or food delivers only about 10% – 25% of the available nutrients to the cells, while IV, or infusion therapy, delivers 100% of the infused therapy's nutrients directly to the cells. Learn More About IV Vitamin Therapy.
IV Vitamin C therapy to fight cancer: This therapy will elevate vitamin C levels to 70 to 100 times higher than oral vitamin C. This is very effective in killing cancer cells. Intravenous treatments help kick naturally-occurring hydrogen peroxide into high gear, where it acts as an oxidant, destroying both cancer and other foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. Learn More About IV Vitamin C
Beating Cancer With Nutrition – Online/Phone Call Sessions
Here at Gentle Wellness Center we believe in beating cancer with nutrition so much that we've decided to take our endeavor nationwide. If you're not located in the Washington, DC area our expert cancer nutritionist can still provide you with nutrition therapy for cancer via phone or video call sessions.

Does Nutrition Therapy For Cancer Work?
Here at Gentle Wellness Center our team of doctors have found great success in cancer nutritional therapy. Typically, our Cancer Nutritional Therapy will be combined with other alternative cancer treatments, like IPT and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as these therapies all support each other and help treat the body as a whole in order to fight cancer.
Recent scientific studies show the effectiveness of beating cancer with nutrition:
West Virginia Medical School Study – Oncologists studied 65 bladder cancer patients. Group one (control group) received a multivitamin plus placebo pills. Group two received the multivitamin plus 40,000 IU of vitamin A, 100 mg of vitamin B6, 2000 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E and 90 mg of zinc. After 10 months, tumors recurred in 80 percent of the patients in the control group but only in 40 percent in the megavitamin group. Essentially, high-dose nutrients cut tumor recurrence in half.
Hoffer Clinic in Victoria, British Columbia Study – This clinical trial studied 129 cancer patients receiving conventional oncologic care. 98 of the patients followed a diet of unprocessed food low in fat, dairy and sugar while receiving therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals. The control group (31 patients) who did not receive nutritional support, lived an average of less than six months. The cancer patients who did receive nutritional support lived an average of more than six years. Nutrition support was found to increase average life span 12 to 21 times in 80% of patients.
International Journal of Biosocial and Medical Research Study – This1988 study also found therapeutic nutrition helps cancer patients. Of the 200 cancer patients studied who experienced so-called "spontaneous regression," 87 percent had made a major change in diet (eating more vegetables and less meat) and 65 percent had used nutritional supplements.
Journal of the American College of Nutrition Study – This study of 1500 pancreatic cancer patients tracked their dietary changes and life expectancy. In the group that made no dietary changes only 10% were still alive a year later. In the group that committed to a diet consisting mostly of brown rice and vegetables 52% were still alive after one year.
These studies support what we know here at Gentle Wellness Center – Nutrition Therapy For Cancer works.

RQ Innovative Efficiency and Firm Value
60 Pages Posted: 17 Jul 2015 Last revised: 20 May 2019
Date Written: May 17, 2019
In asset pricing and corporate finance, researchers often desire to study the causes or consequences of firm innovation. To date innovation has been measured a number of ways: by its inputs, by its outputs, as well as by the innovative efficiency of converting inputs to outputs. We introduce and test a firm-level innovation efficiency measure new to the finance literature. The measure is RQ, defined as the firm-specific output elasticity of R&D, was first developed in the management literature. RQ has low correlation with existing input, efficiency, and output measures. We test RQ in a number of innovation tests common to the finance literature and find that RQ is robust in all tests of firm value even after controlling for previous innovation measures. The results suggest that RQ may serve as a relevant complementary measure of a company's innovation.

From the Desk OfAMANDA FOLSON
So the VPS was brought back online a few days ago…no data loss! But needless to say, I'm a bit more careful about my backups now.
In recent Anope news, we lost another QA person :( What does this mean? This means that only Chaz and I remain…scary thought, no? It also means that I'm gonna bust my ass to find some contributors - we can't do this alone! If you're interested, contact me. There's plenty to do @ http://www.anope.org/qa-todo.php - pick one!
Anope modsite - I've decided that there will be 4 groups: User, Author, Team, and Admin. The Users group will be allowed to leave comments, rate modules, and upload modules. I'm trying to get away from having everyone request Author status without actually producing modules. It works, but I think we're going to go for something a little more prestigious. Module Author status will be reserved for people who have produced a few quality modules and their votes will also help with a new community approval system. I haven't really thought about any requirements - feel free to send me some! The current admin panel doesn't afford much control over users/submissions, so I've added some links that will allow Admins/Team to add, update, and delete modules and users so that we can have a bit more control over things. I've only done the search queries…nothing too serious. I moved the logging feature as well since it takes up a fair amount of space and makes the page rather long :P Somehow I managed to break the bug tracker as well. It saves bugs but with some weird information. It will obviously be something stupid I did, so I'll have to track that down.
Game site - The webchat now includes the username of the player in the nickname field so that users don't have to type one in. All they have to do is click connect and it drops them into the channel. I also changed some of the items and areas to have more of a space theme. Since the old setup was a bit generic, it's going to take a bit of time to tailor things to my theme. I'm still pondering the best way to do leveling and skills. I've decided there will be unlimited levels, but how can I balance the skills (what do I call the skills for that matter?) so that there's a balance of power? Same with the items…not sure how people will obtain those. There are a few ideas I have: have a cron that runs a script that picks a person in each area daily (maybe a few people if the game gets big) and give them a random item from their area OR have an exploration feature where users can explore space and find things. Maybe they can explore the surface of the planet. I also want to have an exploration feature that allows people to explore certain percentages of the surface and research things. Hmm…
FailIRC - Still haven't done anything with this. It's pretty much on hiatus until some of these larger projects get finished.
Happy 4th to America…thank God we got away from the Brits! Else we'd talk like cockney noobs :<

The Problem With Affirmations In A Vacuum
Sometimes people have the tendency to overly rely on affirmations. They'll say the affirmations over and over without anything else. The problem with affirmations in a vacuum is that you won't gain the full results. Couple affirmations with the techniques presented in this book and you have a recipe for unlocking the unstoppable you. Affirmations have a place as well and they will be discussed later on in this book. An important thing about affirmations is that they do not work as a stand-alone tool. Chanting some mantra over and over again helps drill the belief into your unconscious mind, and while that is helpful and useful in some contexts that alone will not get you where you want to go.
Mirror Those Affirmations
Typically when people do affirmations they repeat them endlessly to themselves in hopes that they work. This has a degree of effectiveness yet can be made much more effective with some modifications to how the affirmations are delivered. This technique has been modified to supercharge the efficacy of the affirmations. Get in front of a mirror and stand with confident physiology and with a mental intention to project these affirmations to change your life,. The larger the mirror, the better it is so that you can see more of your self. With your shoulders back, head held high, stomach sucked in, look squarely at yourself in the eyes and say, You are completely powerful. You are unstoppably confident. You are becoming more and more confident each and every day. Nothing can stop you. You go for what you want congruently and powerfully. You reach your goals naturally and easily. Repeat these affirmations to yourself in the mirror until you can totally feel it in your body. You might get a...
Affirmations And Verbal Statements
The principle of the mantrams may be applied to more familiar applications and manifestations of the creative power of the mind. It has been said, Words are crystallized thoughts. And, the repetitions of certain suggestive words serves to strengthen, render positive and effective the thought or idea behind them. Thus, if you are employing creative thought in a certain direction, as for instance, in the process of visualization, you can strengthen the mental-picture by actually saying the thing that you are visualizing the verbal expression serving to crystalize the visualization. It also serves to direct pranic energy to the latter, animating it. Thus, the philosophy of Emerson, Brace yourself with affirmations. Not only in the phase of visualization may the process of Creative Mind be intensified by means of proper affirmations or verbal statements, the same method may also be applied with benefit to the phase of projection in the same process. You will find, by actual experiment and...
Beyond Positive Thinking
Positive thinking is an excellent technique and revolutionary for its time. The problem is that if Positive thinking was good for its time, and we have Dr. Norman Vincent Peale to thank for popularizing this idea. He proposed that if you think positively you will get the results you want, and this can be true in some cases. It is vital to remember that positive thinking without action is useless. All the motivation that you will get in this book will not do you any good unless you take action. It's not true motivation until you take action. If you only get hyped up and inspired without taking action to change your life, it's no different from someone who is not motivated at all. It's like the phrase, The person who does not read is no better off than the person who can't. For our purposes, we can think of the phrase as, The person who has knowledge and does not apply it is no better off than the person who is ignorant.
Affirmation In Yama
Affirmation is called mantrayama by the Yogis apply it as you have previously been instructed in connection with the practice of Yama or self-development. The general principle consists in expressing in verbal form, either mentally or vocally, the idea or thought, the picture or concept, which you have already visualized and are about to project. This serves to crystallize the thought, and gives it body and form also, according to Yoga teaching, there are certain effects produced by the vibratory influence of thought-filled words. What you have learned of the power of affirmations applies equally in the particular form of treatment known as Yama. In addition, there are two special points concerning this application of affirmation to this process, viz., (1) the choice of suggestive words, and (2) the second person method of directing the affirmation. Say them as a mantram you will find that some of these words will fairly set your soul on fire, and will awaken suggestive vibrations of...
Some Basics And Their Origins
Most of the basic communication gestures are the same all over the world. When people are happy they smile when they are sad or angry they frown or scowl. Nodding the head is almost universally used to indicate 'yes' or affirmation. It appears to be a form of head lowering and is probably an inborn gesture, as it is also used by deaf and blind people. Shaking the head from side to side to indicate 'no' or negation is also universal and may well be a gesture that is learned in infancy. When a baby has had enough milk, he turns his head from side to side to reject his mother's breast. When the young child has had enough to eat, he shakes his head from side to side to stop his parent's attempt to spoon feed him and in this way he quickly learns to use the head
The Failure To Understand This Simple Difference Between The Two Kinds Of Mental Pictures People Make Is The Single
As you do so, reach over with your right hand and squeeze your left wrist, triggering your confidence anchor. This will train your mind to automatically call up the feelings of confidence and power when you are in a situation like the one you are seeing through your own eyes. You won't even have to think about doing it, which is the advantage. (And that's why anchoring works where positive thinking won't, because often by the time you get yourself thinking positively, it's already too late.)
The Value Of Negative Motivation
People who have unstoppable confidence have it because confidence is a habit of theirs. The difference that makes the difference in our lives is the quality and kinds of habits we have in our lives. Each of us have habits and addictions. Let's empower ourselves to have positive, life affirming habits and addictions. Habits are tremendously powerful and a necessity in our lives. Without habits, we'd have to consciously do everything all the time. It simplifies life to have habits and to just do things. The problem occurs if we don't make ourselves aware of our damaging habits and change them.
Outline For Quick Review
When the spectator is holding up their invisible card and you ask them to name their number, immediately yell, WAIT Don't say anything yet I see it is a FA CE card Right If they respond affirming this, mention how easy those are -'Just like the aces - and have them try again. If they say No , then you might say, Then allow me to save MY face What was your card and go on from there. This will generally get a laugh, if played correctly_ As I have said, this is ONE possible option. Since the odds are that you WILL hit a number, you may simply wish to carry a Queen of each suit in four separate pockets - just in case. Or put all
David Greenes Koncealed Killer
MINI-SOLUTION For those of you that dislike the use of miniature cards, Kenton has a line from his (now timeless) Ultimate Diminishing Card that applies well here. In fact, it's perfect State that you think the spectator's card is a TEN or KING. Just go as high as ypu can with whatever your own set happens to be. When they say No , respond with, Oh, it's a SMALLER number a SMALLER CARD When they reply affirming this is the case, ask them what their number was in their minds. Then say, Wow, it really WAS a SMALLER card GOOD. I have one of THOSE' NOW when you remove the mini card this makes complete sense, and appears that you have set the spectator up - knowing the truth all along. It also gets a great and surprising laugh. So if you use the mini card set up without my mental force, just think smaller card and name a higher number. If you try this, you'll be really glad you gave it a shot It's as funny as it is amazing. Instead of mini cards, you might possibly use bridge size cards...
To Get The Right Answers Ask Quality Questions
When you ask yourself questions that deliberately affirm your many options and potentials, your unconscious mind will go off and search for an answer for you. Your unconscious mind is designed to simply answer questions, which is why questions such as Why do I always screw this up will only keep you stuck. Your unconscious goes and fetches reasons for you always screwing something up. The essential element is to ask affirming, directed questions. As you do this, maintain a good resonant tonality by speaking from your chest. It will help when you do this exercise in front of the mirror.
Stuart Smiley was Full of Shit
Topic Affirmations (1 of 8), Read 343 times Conf General From 7 Date Sunday, December 21, 2003 08 35 AM I have a few questions about affirmations. Someone suggested recording the affirmations to cd or cassette. Anyone noticed if listening to them has the same effect as saying them Here is something for you to test. Last night I tried a new affirmation and I got approached twice. That rarely ever happens so it must have been the affirmation. Here is the affirmation But the reason I bring this up is because I believe that AFFIRMATIONS DO NOT WORK Period. End of story. Affirmations are for insecure people who desperately want any way to validate themselves, to the point where they will start trying to brainwash themselves into believing their insecurities do not exist. This is bullshit. There is no way to get past such insecurities unless you face them honestly and work to find their root cause. Not until you do that will these insecurities go away. How do I know this...
Fourth Maya Experiment
This test advances yet further up the scale of psychic control as you inhibit the senses. Particularly the sense of feeling may be readily shut off' by the method of visualization, projection, and affirmation. Hold the thought of numbness over the hand of the subject and affirm repeatedly to him that his hand is becoming numb, numb, numb, and that he will feel no sensation in it at all. He will be found to experience a marked degree of local anaesthesia, and even if a needle is touched to the flesh, no sensation will be experienced. The Hindu magicians frequently demonstrate this phenomena in allowing large hat pins to be passed through their flesh, and even reclining upon a bed of nails. These are popular demonstrations of the fakirs who have mastered these mind-control-over-body skills. In performing all of these initial Maya experiments, always be sure to restore the normal conditions at the close of each test, which is very simply accomplished by the thought and affirmation...
Silent Psychic Influence
In learning of Maya, you have learned of the threefold formula of Yogi psychic influence, viz., visualization, projection, and affirmation. You also know how to use it in relation to suggestion and hypnosis. This is the first state of training. When the initiate has mastered this stage, he is promoted to more advanced aspects of the subject, which is referred to as silent psychic influence. In this state of magical influencing, the formula of visualization, projection, and affirmation is applied in the same general way, but with an importanct major difference. In silent psychic influence the affirmation and the accompanying projection of the visualized thought are performed silently and inaudibly without the actual knowledge of the other person. It is this practice of Advanced Maya that the Hindu hypnotists have made a breakthrough from western methods as the hypnotic effects of suggestions are produced without the need for hypnosis indeed, sometimes without the subject's awareness....
Performers Thoughts on Methods Effects Creation and Publishing
You will note we have given you many options and even diverse outs . The worst case to me means I say to the spectator, I had this picture in mind as you were travelling and I get no obvious affirmation immediately. In such cases, I continue right along with, But who knows where your mind really went Even more odd, who knows where your body was. and then I ask for the shoe. The sand appears to prove that I made him travel to the beach-scene at least. It is bold, but it works.
Third Maya Experiments
(a) For causing the experiencing of a maya burning sensation, have your subject stand before you and extend his hand, palm downward. Place the first two fingers of your right hand upon the back of his hand, concentrating your gaze upon it earnestly, and at the same time visualize and project towards his hand the thought that he is feeling the sensation of burning where your fingers touch his hand. At the same time in affirmation say to him, My fingers where they touch your hand feel hot, hot, hot You can feel them burning your hand You feel it It burns you Pull your hand away Emphasize the words hot and burning, as you give these affirmation suggestions. A large percentage of receptive subjects will experience the sensation of burning heat if the thought and affirmation are made sufficiently strong and vivid. An interesting variation may be performed by giving the subject a coin to hold between his thumb and forefinger, and making it hot, hot, burning hot in the way just described....
Occidental Oriental Hypnotism
In the Orient, the Adept regard the induction of hypnosis to be greatly affected by his own mental attitude as a mind-influence over his subject. As you have learned, according to oriental belief there are three basic principles of psychic influencing Visualization, Projection, and Affirmation. In the production of deep hypnosis in subjects by this East Indian method, these principles must be kept constantly in mind, and are to be applied throughout the entire process, viz. In presenting the suggestions and or sleep formula, you, as the hypnotizer, must constantly visualize the expected results of the suggestions you present as occurring. This means that you must form and hold firmly in your mind the mental-picture of how the subject will be in reality after he or she responds to your affirmations (suggestions). In other words, see in your mind's eye your subject in precisely the condition you suggest, in responding to each suggestion. As you have learned, prana is regarded as a form...
A link to another world
What is your opinion about Past Life Therapy, where the problems of past lives are carried over into this one and affect todays ability I believe that in treating a problem, either hypnotically or thru subliminal messages to the sub-conscius, that all or most of the root causes should be treated and not just the manifested ailment . If any of these root causes come from the past life, or lives, believe they are very deep and have intensive effects on todays personality. (As an example, there could be 3-4 or even more reasons why an obese person overeats and these should all be treated, if possible, rather than simply sending a message to stop eating). What is your opinion This is called body scanning. Often in a demonstration in the audience I will have people who are sitting next to each other, hold up their hands hold up their palms about two inches apart. And generally some people will feel heat, some coolness, some a pressure. I don't think it's a manifestation of psychic ability,...
Docc Hilfords For One To
Begin speaking about subliminal programming. Go into great detail if at all possible, as this really sells what you are about to do. Speak about subliminal audio tapes, the fact that some stores use subliminal messages under the atmosphere music to get people not to steal from the store, sex on television ads, and so forth.
How do you Kill Negative Thoughts
Ironration started a thread which seems to have picked up on trying to overcome your negative thoughts with positive ones. I know this is something I've had a hard time with, especially when I first started out. Nothing's worse than repeating affirmations when in the back of your mind you're just thinking This is bullshit. You can check out the thread Affirmations backed by positive action destroy negative thoughts. I wrote an article on Cliff's List a while back on Inner Game issues that cover this topic. I'll see if I can find it and repost it here on the blog.
Magical Apparatus Pabular
What close-up magic needs these days is a bit more positive thinking. Especially is this true in the U.K. One group of negative thinkers, who a lot of us are getting tired of, are the Close-up will never be commercial in Britain brigade. These dismal jimmies sit round in corners at magical clubs, bewailing the fact that things are different in America and it will never be like that over here. When talking about restaurant work, they trot out the tired old cliche, If they're not busy they can't afford you and if they are busy they don't need you No doubt this was quite amusing, when it was first said, but I am sure that it was never meant to be taken seriously. True, things are different in the U.S. but only because the magicians over there have made it that way. It did not just happen on its own. It happened because enough people wanted it to happen, badly enough to get up on their feet and do something about it.
Expanding her Envelope of Sexuality
For the more secure woman, she may simply offer one of her fantasies. If it is something that is physically possible to act out, do so. If not, whisper the fantasy back into her ear while you masturbate her. One woman, who was the conservative librarian type, told me after we had been dating a couple weeks that she had a dream that she was sitting at her desk at work with many people around and that I was whispering into her ear and then fondling her and then licking her and she actually came in her dream. That dream revealed a lot about her. She has to keep a very proper image, but at the same time she is a very sexual person. Challenging the proper image was something very exciting for her. I rewarded her correct behavior by affirming her dream, telling her that it was very exciting for me, and then I demonstrated my affections for her. Then I whispered the fantasy back into her ear and I started masturbating her. She found it to be very exciting and she came very hard. This made...
Second Maya Experiments
These tests produce a mental control of the muscles, and advances up the scale of psychic influence. I will give you a number of such experiments. In all of these tests remember always to hold the visualized thought represented by the suggestive words you are hurling at the subject via the visualization, projection, and affirmation method of the Yogis.
The Magic of Words and Sound
Throughout all history, the spoken word has held a prominent place in ceremonies of magic. The masses interpret such as being in the nature of charms and incantations possessing magical power in themselves, but the inner magical teaching shows their true power to be mainly psychological in nature. Affirmations in magic affirm the power of the spoken word, and have been used by mystics for ages. It is a complicated subject, yet an important one to the magician, so I asked Sadhu Parimal Bandu to explain the matter in relation to the magic of India. These are the Avatar's comments
The Change Personal History Pattern
This pattern offers a way to recode the past in such a way that it no longer serves as a reference for destructive feelings or for defining self in negative ways. It recodes memories as resources and learnings, and becomes an enhancing orientation for moving into the future with a positive attitude. The process finds a problem memory, traces it to its source, re frames it with resources and then brings that resource state up to the present and into the future.
First Maya Experiment
As you give these affirmations (suggestions), make passes with your hands drawing from each side of his head towards yourself, as if actually drawing him to you. Throw yourself into the drawing procedure. It increases the power of the suggestions. In a few moments, the subject will sway and fall forward, as you have willed that he should. Also, during the entire experiment visualize the subject as falling forward, and project the thought to him of his falling forward. In this first experiment in elementary Maya, you will note, you are manifesting the entire process of the oriental magicians the three phases of creative Yoga visualization, projection and affirmation. Transplant the actors to India, furnish the necessary costumes and native audience, and you would have here a typical exhibition of the elementary methods of the Hindu wonder workers.
Interlude 2 On keeping an open mind
The same applies to other facets of life. If I want to pursue a given goal, perhaps creative or business-related, should I assume from the start that I will never succeed and my efforts will be wasted Not at all. It is far better to retain an open-mind, to give it my best shot - with a positive attitude and the corresponding positive effort - and see where I get to.
Beginning To Run Your Own Brain For A Change The Myth Of The Shy Gene
So, up until now, how have you thought of yourself Were you shy Were you tentative That's how some people label themselves, which brings me to the myth of that's just the way I am. What a loaded phrase. Are you confident Are you shy Are you tentative They say, That's just the way I am. They need to stop saying that. It's as if they are chanting a negatively reinforcing mantra. The real secret is that it's a dirty rotten broken affirmation that keeps people stuck. The affirmation every day and every way I'm getting better and better is a famous affirmation by Emile Coue, an early-self help pioneer. I'm shy because that's the way I am, will work as an affirmation also if people repeat it. If others repeat this phrase, append to their statement, They are shy because that's just the way they are according to them . That myth is the worst myth ever passed on from dis-empowered people to other dis-empowered people.
Well that basically is all there is to Navel-Healing as the rest is just down to presentation on your part. Present Navel-Healing with NO DOUBTS in your mind that it will work and then this positive attitude will be sensed by your volunteers. When your volunteers sense this confident attitude within you that Navel-Healing will be beneficial to them then they will start to be even more positive about it working and so the magic of Positive Thinking comes into play. And need I remind you of the countless books published and medical studies done on Positive thinking which have proved beyond doubt that positive thinking can often lead to CURES in and of itself. So with the combination of Positive Thinking, Self-Belief of the patient, The placebo Effect, Self-Hypnosis and Psychic Mumbo Jumbo all combined into one treatment method, Navel-Healing is very powerful indeed.
Nonverbal World
Usage We reside in a world of words, but still make many of our most important decisions about life and living as if we had never left Nonverbal World 1. We do not need words, e.g., to define a kiss, decode an Armani suit, or decipher new car smell these depend on ancient signals from the wordless past. 2. Even technical knowledge is transmitted through nonverbal apprenticeships, in which we watch and do rather than read a manual. 3. We choose our vehicles, homes, and mates, e.g., on nonverbal grounds, and select wardrobes based on clothing's look and feel. 4. Many scientists (the most notable being Albert Einstein) think in visual, spatial, and physical images rather than in mathematical terms and words. (N.B. That the theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking, used an arboreal term to picture the cosmos i.e., affirming that the universe could have different branches, is a tribute to his very visual primate brain.)
The use of different approaches to cold reading call for or permit the use of different strategies. The twenty question through affirmations will not work for everyone, or in every situation. However, where the reading starts off in a very general fashion, and hones down to deal with specifics, it is a very strong technique. It can create a tremendous sense of involvement or closeness, a type of intimacy. It bears an acknowledged similarity to the procedures of Milton Erickson, the noted-hypnotist in creating a mental set. Perhaps the key to successful utilization of the indirect 20 questions routine in modem application is discretion. In the days of Nelson, the push for affirmations was advocated. It is still relevant where an audience is watching, as long as you are getting yes responses. However, with increasing sophistication of audiences, a few negative responses make it clear that you are fishing. It is obvious from watching many performers and readers that the ego involvement...
Kicked and Banned
Apparently, Ross found my blog and didn't like what I had to say about his list or my take on affirmations, so he gave me 24 hours to unsubscribe. However, I was at my grandparent's all weekend and didn't get the message untill today, so I also found a very terse e-mail from Ross
Almost Famous
Slyly encoded beneath the 1's and 0's of the DVD version of this new release from L&L Publishing is a subtle subliminal message David Regal is the man. At least, that's the message that I got. David Regal writes for television and is the author of the recently released magic book Close-up and Personal. The majority of the material on these three DVDs comes from that book and from Star Quality, written by Harry Lorayne. The emphasis is on card magic, although there are a number of tricks that use miscellaneous props.
Tilting Ship
David was giving a lecture on the Nif.uw Amsterdam cruise ship and nearly five hundred people had gathered to listen. He had already mystified them with his cabaret show the previous evening and now he was giving a lecture on Personal & Mind Development that included positive thinking. The lecture was almost finished and David was reiterating The mind really is an incredible thing. positive thinking but finished, as usual, with a lighter tongue-in-cheek item that, on this occasion, paved the way for the stunt. The passengers concentrated as David suggested, expecting little to happen but hoping for more. What the audience didn't know was that among them was a woman who had been briefed to scream on cue and outside the door were two members of the crew prepared to smash some old crockery and rush in apparently panic stricken.
Coins Of The Mind
Showing these pictures to the spectator, one by one, the spectator is asked to describe what he sees. Regardless of the spectator's responses, the performer announces that each picture contains subtle subliminal messages, invisible to the conscious mind, yet very meaningful to the unconscious.
Using the Cards
Instead, I suggest you use each of the images as a way of introducing themes pertaining to the mind, perception, mind magic or positive thinking and mind motivation. It only takes a little imagination, and some presentational experience, to exploit the illusions in this manner. You will have your own preferred themes, and hence your own preferred way of exploiting the cards. The crucial point is to give each illusion a context, and to use it as an introduction (a prelude) to something your audience can relate to. I'm going to give you some examples based on my own work, and the kinds of subjects that I like to talk about when I'm performing. Adjust them to suit yourself. I then take my hand away, and slowly rotate the card 180 degrees so that people can see how distorted the image appears. Turning the card very slowly is important, because it gives the spectator a nice 'surprise' moment as the recognised' face becomes the 'hideous' face. I then give this a 'positive thinking' spin,...
Ovation p0sitk5n
Iam really thin skinned I need lot* of affirmation and I never seem to get enough. This must be a weakness, but my feelings if easily hurt, Do you know what You have hurt my feelings. 77 r applause was so modest. lm used to ovations. Here some people may s tan to clap politely. The performer holds up his hand to stop this applause.
The Elroy Pattern
One could conclude from this book that a woman has four basic needs that must be met 1) affirmation, 2) sharing, 3) to feel like a woman, and 4) exciting sex. 1) Affirmation, in that she needs to feel appreciated and respected for the individual that she is. She needs to know that she is supported in her endeavors. 2) Sharing, in that she has the need to share her feelings with her man and to receive the sharing from her man. She needs to be able to communicate emotionally with her man and to feel that emotional connection. 3) Feel like a woman, in that she needs to feel beautiful, sexy, and feminine. She needs to enjoy all that comes with being a woman. 4) Exciting Sex, in that she needs to be seduced, excited, and satisfied, over and over again. She needs to experience new things, in new ways, including fantasies and roles.
Projection In Yama
The visualization once obtained in the proper form and degree, and the affirmations made in the same way (as you will be instructed below), the ideal-picture or thought-form should be projected by two acts. First an act of will, spreading it out so that it will permeate the entire brain and also sending it down so that it will permeate every muscle in the body. This is important, as there is a close relationship between physical actions and mental states in self-development. In this way, both brain and muscles are influenced and
All of the above assumes a mentally healthy woman with a good sense of deservedness. It is true that there are mentally screwed up women with a bad sense of deservedness, and practicing the above is more of an affirmation to her for what she believes she deserves as a person, rather than a healthy expression of her sexuality. (Very big difference.)
Luckily, in a live performance the subjects will be before your very eyes and they will usually react to your affirmations , non-verbally first. With just a bit of observation on your part, you will be able to discern which ones of their non-verbal reactions will be the negative ones and thus, when noticing one of those reactions, you will be immediately in position to cover your mistake by adding something like that No It's not Hearts . As soon as I said Hearts you thought I was wrong and from your reaction. I knew I was wrong But there are a lot of other ways to play your fishing well. defusing their negative answer by saying them that you actually meant something else, the one-beat pause during your pumping, etc. The reason I called the above example a streamlined one is because that example was just written to provide you with the basic mechanics. In actual performance, at no time you will ask questions (you will rather state a sort of questioning affirmations ) and, as eloquently...
Thought Contro
I've glanced at the face card of the pack, so I know what the card is. In the act of performing the Spread Force, Sue is left with the impression of the force card, although she isn't really aware that she has a particular card on her mind. It's almost a subliminal perception.
Head Gestures
This book would not be complete without a discussion of the basic head movements, the two most widely used being the head nod and the head shake. The head nod is a positive gesture used in most cultures to signify, 'Yes', or affirmation. Research conducted with people who have been deaf, dumb and blind from birth shows that they also use this gesture to signify the affirmative, which has given rise to the theory that this may be an inborn gesture. The headshake, usually meaning 'No', is also claimed by some to be an inborn action however, others have theorised that it is the first gesture a human being learns. They believe that when the newborn baby has had enough milk, he shakes his head from side to side to reject his mother's breast. Similarly, the young child who has had enough to eat uses the head shake to reject his parent's attempt to spoonfeed him.

Article by Dalius LL
SANDAKAN: St. Mary's Cathedral Parish celebrated the 6th Sandakan Diocesan Anniversary and the Episcopal Ordination of Rt Rev Julius Dusin Gitom as its first Bishop on 12th October 2013 at 7.30pm with a potluck fellowship dinner at the Parish hall. Some 600 parishioners and religious from the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, Good Shepherd Sisters and the Montfort Brothers came in support of the commemoration of its erection. Holy Trinity Church, Tawau will host the 2-day occasion at Diocesan level on 14th and 15th October 2013
The parishioners had every reason to celebrate the joyful occasion as the event also saw the presence of Fr Sunny Chung recently transferred to St Mary's Cathedral. Prior to his transfer to the Diocese of Sandakan, he served in St. Catherine's Church Inanam as the assistant rector. Fr. Sunny in his 30s is a Sino-Kadazan from Papar who speaks Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia, English and Kadazan. He was ordained some two years ago. With his presence, there are now three priests serving in the Cathedral Parish; Fr Thomas Makajil as rector, Fr Philip Muji and Fr Sunny as assistant rectors.
In his opening address, the rector Fr. Thomas Makajil congratulated Bishop Julius on the 6th Sandakan Diocesan Anniversary and his Episcopal Ordination as well as his birthday which falls on the same month. He also took the opportunity to extend his warm welcome to Fr. Sunny Chung to Sandakan. He shared that, "This is the first time that the Diocesan Anniversary is celebrated at the parish level. This occasion is an opportunity for all parishioners from the many communities, groupings and ministries who may be unable to join the Diocesan level celebration in Tawau to gather as one big family to celebrate with Bishop Julius on this auspicious occasion."
The cutting of the anniversary cake by Bishop Julius marked the 3-in-1 celebration followed with some presentations from the various communities. The potluck dinner offered an avenue for parishioners to enjoy one another's company and with that of their Bishop, Priests, Religious and leaders of the various communities in the Parish. The SOCCOM took the opportunity to interview Fr. Sunny Chung on how he felt serving in Sandakan Diocese. He admitted that serving in Sandakan will be much more challenging compared to Kota Kinabalu Archdiocese. Nevertheless he is well prepared because he has gone through his pastoral exposure in Lahad Datu before. He expressed his happiness to be able to have the opportunity to serve the faithful here. When asked on how he felt to have another priest in this parish, Patrick Seah the PPC Chairman has this to say, "Thank God, our prayer for a Chinese priest is answered. Thank God that at least now we have a priest to cater to our Chinese community".
The fellowship concluded at 8.45 pm with a closing prayer by Fr. Sunny.

If you want to send a message to your customers, email marketing is the best option to use. If you've sent a broken link, an image that doesn't show, and typos, it can be perceived as a human mistake. Nonetheless, if these mistakes are frequent, it will reflect poorly on your brand. Thus, you risk being perceived as unprofessional.
How not to send a broken email
However, there are certain steps that you can follow in order to prevent this. In order to prevent this from ever happening or to never happen, you should follow these tips accordingly.
Checklist: how make sure it's not a broken email before
It's essential to understand that including a well-written content is not enough. Even though in the past, emails had to be simple and filled with text, it's no longer the case. Just by adding a graph to switch it up, you may risk your campaign being deleted or sent to the Spam folder.
Since email servers can support all type of content, it's only fair that you try to mix it up. This is why we recommend that the campaign should include:
- Images
- Videos
- Interactive features
Without a doubt, the email will be more appealing to the customers and they will most likely engage with it. However, including so many elements means that you must create a checklist in order to save yourself the embarrassment.
You have to proofread the text, test to ensure that all of the videos are playing, and all of the images are clearly displayed. As well as, the links shouldn't be broken or direct the customer to the wrong page. By having a checklist, you will always know what there is to check, so nothing can slip your mind - reducing the chances of a broken email.
Many of your customers will be reading the campaign on their mobile phone rather than a computer. This trend will most likely become increasingly popular as there's nothing you can't do with a phone that can be done on a computer. Therefore, it's essential that the campaign that you're sending can be clearly seen and formatted correctly.
This is why you have to ensure that when you're sending the email, you view it both on a mobile phone and on a computer. This will give you leverage to notice any mistakes. In order to optimize it properly you will have to:
- Avoid large paragraphs
- Use headings
- Use sections for a clear layout
It's fairly simple to optimize and you don't have to be an expert in Computer Science to layout the message clearly. The easier the content is read, the more successful the campaign will be.
On the other hand, you have to know when is the right time to sweat it out or to not take any actions.
Minor Incidents
If it's a simple typo, we recommend that you don't stress about it too much. However, this is the case if the typo doesn't offend anyone. For example, if you've used a word such as "waste" instead of "waist", there's no point of writing an apology letter. Minor broken emails happens with things such as:
- Misplaced comma
- Missing content
- Formatting issues
The worst thing that can happen is to have people on your list sending you an email to point it out. Some people will not say anything and some will not notice it. In case someone has used social media in order to point it out, you can write an apology on social media.
In case it isn't a major incident, we don't recommend that you send an 'oops' email as you will bring more attention to it than necessary. As well as, you will risk the mistake to be blown out of proportion. In addition to this, you will probably get people unsubscribing so you will lose out email addresses.
The best thing that you can do is to double-check before sending out to the whole list. You can also try to get your close ones to review the email before you send it to the customers.
Major Incidents
In case the mistake is clearly going to portray a bad image of the brand, it may be worth to send the email again. However, you have to be careful about this as it can backfire, the email containing the mistake will still be in the customer's Inbox. In the majority of cases, there are three ways that you can go about it:
Segment – In case the mistake affects only a proportion of the list, you should send the correct email only to those people. You can also send the correct email only to those that have opened the email only. This way you will ensure that you won't clog the Inbox of those who aren't affected or those that haven't opened it yet. This will ensure that your next campaign will not go straight to the Spam folder next time.
Resend – Even though you should avoid sending the "oops" message for minor broken emails, it would be necessary for the major incidents. In the subject line, you should use words such as:
- "Let's try again"
- "Oops"
- "Correction:"
The main idea is that those who have received the new and improved email will open the corrected email rather than the old one. As mentioned, resending a campaign should be the last resort. This isn't an ideal solution as it can affect your engagement and open rates in the future.
Apology Letter – This is a one-time only solution. You should never write more than one apology letter. When one has signed up to the list, they give you permission to send them your campaign, they have no power over the type of content you send them. This is why you should avoid at all costs to offend them in any type of way possible.
If you want to avoid your campaign to be marked as spam, you should send them an apology as soon as you notice the offending mistake. It may repair the damage. This again applies to all of those that have opened the message. Avoid clogging up their Inbox if they haven't paid attention to the first message, the broken email.

Staff and students concerned about safety
By Leonel Guillen
On Monday, Nov. 6, around 1:45 p.m., a non-student and a former student got into an altercation with a current student when they walked into school campus to pick up the transcript for the former student, according to a school administrator.
The altercation, which took place in the 200s hallway, resulted in the stabbing injury of the current student, a junior in the Project Lead the Way engineering pathway, who was then taken to the hospital.
"The suspect was taken into custody by police here in Oakland High," said Principal Matin Abdel-qawi. "The student was taken to the hospital for his injuries." Abdel added that video surveillance footage suggested that "the student was also the aggressor who started the altercation. We believe it was motivated by a love triangle.¨
The event that happened was unexpected because it doesn't often happen at Oakland High and it caught people off guard. Also, students are questioning about how the school and staff let this happened and some are really concerned about their own safety.
"I was really shocked about what happened on Monday," said Oakland High senior Emilee Saechao. "I never thought it would happen at our school and this really is a concern for my and everyone else's safety."
After this event, Abdel made a robocall to Oakland High student families to inform them of the altercation. Some parents who heard about the news were concerned about their own child's safety. Now staff and administrators are taking and extra precautions to make sure this kind of thing would be prevented.
According to Abdel, the confrontation began when the OHS student ran down to the hallway where the former and non-OHS student were walking. The couple told him to go away but the student continued to follow and talking to them. The altercation got heated when the boyfriend and the student started arguing and then started fighting. The non-OHS student took out a knife and stabbed the student multiple times before OHS staff came in and stopped the fight.
"This is really frightening that this happened," said Oakland High junior Daniel Castro. "The school really has to to do a better job keeping us safe and also make sure check people before they let them in."

What are the practical everyday problems that are encountered when you bring new hires into an organisation?
This was the simple question that Webonboarding set out to answer with its latest major research study.
The 'Welcome Aboard' study involved surveying more than 2,000 UK based office workers, whose attitudes and experiences help to build up an overview of the current state of employee onboarding.
It reveals the sizable challenges that HR teams are facing as they struggle with outdated paper-based processes, inefficient administration and negative new starter experiences.
But the research also highlights the benefits that delivered to those organisations who get onboarding right - creating a more stable, committed and productive workforce.
You can find a full breakdown of the 'Welcome Aboard' research here.
Here's a look at some of the main takeaways:
Administration 'catch up'
An efficient onboarding approach should make best use of the time between a successful candidate being chosen and their first day on the job - using this period to complete contracts, offer letters and policy agreements.
One of the major findings revealed by the survey was how little this is actually happening. In fact, more than two-thirds of respondents said that onboarding documentation was not complete when they started their job. For more than a quarter (27 percent), it took up to a month and three months for one-in-ten (11 percent).
This is a particular concern because as UK employment law changes in 2020, removing the two-month period that employers currently have to provide new starters with written employment particulars.
Paper-based approach
The research showed that employee onboarding is one of the few remaining areas of business administration where paper-based approaches are still being used. It was found that two-thirds (66 percent) of all employment contracts are still paper documents that need to be mailed out to new starters.
Just five percent of respondents were able to benefit from a digital approach, allowing all onboarding documentation to be dealt with online. Webonboarding uses digital signatures to completely remove the need for paper-based processes or documentation to be mailed.
Frustrating starter experiences
Along with the process failures, the study also highlighted some of the frustrations experienced by new starters. With limited communications during onboarding, the time it takes for new employees to settle is lengthened.
For nearly a quarter of new starters (24 percent) this integration period was three to four weeks and 46 percent said they had a negative perception of onboarding. This can prove particularly costly as one-in-ten (11 percent) said a bad starter experience had resulted in them rejecting a role.
What makes for a positive experience?
The 'Welcome Aboard' research included questions on what new starters are looking for when they join an organisation. The main theme here was the need for better communications during the onboarding phase.
Two-thirds (66 percent) said clearer communications was the most important factor, 55 percent said they wanted to receive information earlier during the process and 49 percent that they wanted to be generally 'kept in the loop'.
Getting it right can provide a significant boost to employee attitudes with 63 percent of respondents saying a positive onboarding experience helped them to feel committed to their new employer and job role.
The 'Welcome Aboard' research helps to identify exactly what makes employee onboarding such a difficult aspect of the recruitment cycle to get right. One of the fundamental problems is it's hybrid status - existing in the gap between recruitment and HR systems and often forgotten.
Efficiently managing all of the documentation and admin tasks while also trying to ensure that new starters have a positive and engaging experience is tough - and particularly so when you're trying to do this with outdated processes and tools.
It's the reason that more HR departments and hiring teams are moving away from the traditional approach and towards cloud-based management solutions. Webonboarding revolutionises the way new hires are handled, creating a streamlined, smooth and efficient process.
By removing so much of the administrative burden, it allows HR teams to start focusing on the quality of the experience. It's an onboarding approach that future-proofs and organisation to handle all of the challenges posed by an increasingly competitive recruitment environment and tightening legislative requirements.

If you haven't heard, Donald Trump stepped in it.
In an interview with Chris Matthews, Trump, according to his critics, has called for the unthinkable: punish women who seek an abortion.
I'll just let that sink in for a minute.
Of course, those on the left who are pro-abortion were livid and those on the right who are, supposedly, pro-life were stammering trying to distance themselves from Trump's perfectly logical statement. Of course, he seems to have backtracked to say that only those who provide should be punished.
But, for those of us who are pro-life, though I prefer the stronger anti-abortion, are we truly being consistent with our belief that abortion is truly the murder of an innocent child by not calling for the punishment of both the provider and the one seeking to unjustly end that life? The answer is, sadly, "No." Both are guilty and both should be punished. Trump's statements were not outrageous or unthinkable, they were being logically consistent with the position of making abortion on demand illegal.
Thank you, Donald, for showing some intellectual integrity, even though you had to be pushed to admit the logical conclusion.

CS/CS/HB 427 — Recreational Vessel Registration
by Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations Subcommittee; Highway and Waterway Safety Subcommittee; and Rep. Magar and others (CS/SB 746 by Appropriations Committee and Senators Negron, Sachs, and Latvala)
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Transportation Committee (TR)
The bill reduces state vessel registration fees for recreational vessels equipped with an Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon, or for recreational vessels where the owner owns a Personal Locator Beacon. The beacon must be registered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in order for the owner to qualify for the reduced registration fee. A person who owns a personal locator beacon and who owns more than one recreational vessel qualifies to pay the reduced fee for only one vessel. The reduced vessel registration fees apply to applicable vessels registered between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.
The bill allows the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to adopt rules specifying what constitutes as sufficient proof of having a registered beacon in order to qualify for the reduced registration fee and includes information the proof must contain. Additionally, the amount discounted between the full vessel registration fee and the actual amount paid shall be transferred from the General Revenue Fund to the department to be deposited, as specified in statute, in the Marine Resources Conservation Trust Fund.
If approved by the Governor, these provisions take effect July 1, 2016.
Vote: Senate 39-0; House 115-0
