Awful Return Policy Caldwell from Overland Park, KS on 09/08/2014 – Verified Buyer
Unfortunately, my experience with Wayfair was not a good one. I bought the above display case as a Christmas gift. It had to be ordered twice because the size was wrong. The second time I received it, I delivered the display case again as a gift. Because the receiver of the gift was traveling, it took awhile for him to open the gift. Once he open it, he informed me it was again the wrong size. I sent Wayfair a message regarding the display case. and that it was the wrong size. Wayfair would not allow me to return the display case because it was just beyond the return policy. Wayfair would not even help me exchange it for another one. Because it was a gift and at the holiday season, the return timeframe should be extended. The display case is still sitting in my office because I don't know what to do with it and the client still did not get the gift he should have. I have not done business since with Wayfair.

Stay at the Bartlett Inn and enjoy a great vacation including a full hot breakfast daily, heated pool and great location for enjoying all Attitash has to offer including the new Zip Tour! The Bartlett Inn is a great location for all Mt Washington Valley activities.
The new Attitash Zip Line: Fly high on the new Attitash ZipTour zipline above the tree canopy from the summit of Bear Peak over to mid-mountain of Attitash and from there to the base of Attitash! It is fun, fast and a one-of-a-kind thrilling experience. This approximate 1 to 2 hour adventure is for thrill seekers and nature lovers alike. You can control your speed and even make a stop to enjoy the spectacular views. A top speed of 65+ mph is possible and reaching heights of 250′ off the ground as you make your way down the 4,969 feet length distance of the Flying Bear Zip from the summit of Bear Peak over the valley towards Attitash Mountain – that's almost a mile and is currently the longest single zipline span in the East! From there you'll fly the Attitash Aerial Zip, zipping from upper Thad's Choice to the base of Attitash, another 2,196 feet! With both The Flying Bear and Attitash Aerial Zip spans offering two parallel cable lines, you and a family or friend are able to ride side by side.
Start your adventure on our pre-flight Demo Zip with training from our experience guides who will familiarize you with the specialized equipment. We train each participant to perform all activities that may be required on the course. The guides also use this opportunity to evaluate all participants to make sure they have the ability to safely complete the course. We do reserve the right to exclude anyone from participation for medical, safety, or other reasons.
Participants must be at least 10 years old, weigh between 50 and 260 lbs, and be between 4′ (48 inches) and 6'8″ (82 inches) tall. Children between 10 and 15 years of age must be accompanied by a participating parent/guardian. Please note: No open-toed or open-back shoes are allowed on the ZipTour.
Every participant must complete a ZipTour Liability Release. Participants under the Age of 18 must have a ZipTour Liability Release signed by their parent/guardian. If the minor will be coming with someone other than their parent/guardian the ZipTour Liability Release must be signed and notarized.
We highly recommend that you reserve your zipline tour in advance as there are a limited number of persons on each tour and tours can sell out on any given day. You can reserve by phone at 603-374-2353 with your stay at the Bartlett Inn.

And I know why you go so slow

First published in 1955 when she was 30 years old, this debut book quickly established Miss O'Connor as a force to be reckoned with and a true virtuoso of the short story. Perhaps it was her Catholic faith. Or the influence of her native Savannah, Georgia. Or maybe this was one seriously astute, keen observer of human nature with something to say.
This is a story of two Wes Moores, born within the same year in the same neighborhood of Baltimore. Both grew up without a father and had rough childhoods, growing up in tough neighborhoods and having run-ins with the police.

Hey girls! Today I am 32 weeks and 2 days along. Starting a couple of days ago, I've had this achey pain above my belly button. I will get sharp pains on and off there but usually it remains a dull ache. But when I cough, sneeze or laugh it is very painful. Any ideas??? I have no clue what this could be. Thanks for any insight...

I had the same thing. I'm not exactly sure if it was more than what I'm about to say, but if you're worried mYbe ask your dr. For me, my stomach was stretching so much that the nerves were being pulled further apart, so now, at 37 weeks, my stomach is basically numb, but started out ad those pains. I did ask my dr about it and that was was she told me. Nothing to worry about if that's what it is
Posted 02/21/2011
I had the exact same thing...it was my belly stretching and LOs butt being there...
Posted 02/22/2011
If your really concerned I would call my doctor because it could possibly be a hernia( I cant spell) Or that the baby is hittin all the wrong nerves above the belly button. I am having the same pain but its only every once in a while.

The Clippers are down 3-2 in the best-of-7 series. Even if he risks making the injury worse, Griffin said hes hopeful hell improve enough to help his team force a Game 7 at Staples Center on Sunday. If Im able to go and Im able to help us, then its really my job to play, he said before the Clippers charter flight departed for Memphis on Thursday afternoon. I owe it to my teammates. If I make the injury worse and theres no more season left, then it doesnt really matter because I have a lot of time to rest and heal. As long as I can help my teammates and help us, Im going to play....

Question and answer details
|As-salamu `alaykum. If someone fasts six days of Shawwal, then one year he gets sick or something prevents him from fasting, or he is too lazy to fast, will there be any sin on him? We have heard that if a person fasts these six days one year, he must never give up this practice thereafter.
|Zienab Mostafa
|Standing Committee for Islamic Research and Ifta'
Wa `alaykum as-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear sister in Islam, thanks a lot for your question which is a sign of your good faith and keenness to abide by the Prophet's Sunnah. May Allah reward you and grant you Paradise!
Being a sunnah means that it is not sin for a Muslim who used to observe fasting these days each year not to fast them.
With regard to your question, The Standing Committee for Islamic Research and Iftaa' in Saudi Arabia states,
Fasting six days of Shawwal after the day of `Eid is a Sunnah. It is not wajib (obligatory) on the person who does this once or more often to continue doing it. He is not guilty of a sin if he does not fast these days.
And Allah is the source of strength. May Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad and grant him peace.
Excerpted with modifications from, www.islam-qa.com
Moreover, the prominent Muslim scholar and da`iyah Zeinab Mostafa adds,
I commend you for your interest and keenness on observing the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in fasting the six days of Shawwal. You should know that fasting on those days is a sunnah, which means that it is not mandatory but it is highly recommended and there is a great reward promised by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for observing the fast.
Therefore, it is optional to repeat this practice or discontinue it, but it is preferred to continue fasting every year and to maintain a high level of iman (faith) after Ramadan.
Allah Almighty knows best.

SCOTT CITY (AP) — Scott City has been developing plans for a walking and biking trail, thanks in part to donations made to honor a local family of four killed in a plane crash earlier this year.The Scott City Trail would cost about $363,000 and include a 1.4-mile trail through a city park and nearly four more miles of designated walking and biking areas. The project is funded through the Scott Community Foundation, which has raised about $70,000, The Garden City Telegram reported. The foundation also received a $22,000 from the Kansas Health Foundation, which helped pay for the project design.SCF Executive Director Ryan Roberts said most of that money came from donations after the deaths of the Spencer family, who were killed in a plane crash northeast of Topeka last April."They were an active family and very involved with walking and running," Roberts said. "This was one of the things their family wanted to get done."Dylan Spencer, 35, of Scott City, was piloting a small plane when it crashed into a cornfield three miles north of Topeka on April 22. His wife, Amy, 34, and their two daughters, 7-year-old Chase and 5-year-old Ansley, also died in the crash. They were on their way to visit Amy Spencer's family in northeastern Kansas for Easter.The six-seat plane missed its first attempt for landing at Philip Billard Airport and circled around for a second attempt when it crashed. A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board said witnesses saw the landing gear retract and the plane go back into the air before it went into a steep left turn and hit the ground.The Scott City Commission has approved the first phase of the trail project, which involves improvements to Palmer Park. Scott City has about 3,400 residents and is located in western Kansas, about 35 miles north of Garden City."Our community hopes that this brings a safe and well-designed place where people can enjoy exercising, walking and running," Roberts said.

November 30, 2010 President Obama's fiscal commission begins its final round of meetings Tuesday, which may or may not produce a plan to cut the nation's growing debt. Experts say a debt crisis could come in 18 months or 18 years. But either way, it's a frightening prospect.

November 29, 2010 A new plan from the heads of a White House commission, calling for significant spending cuts and new tax revenues, faces protests from both the left and the right. But its authors say lawmakers can either deal with the rising debt or have a fix thrust upon them by those lending money to the U.S.

November 17, 2010 Former Sen. Pete Domenici warned Wednesday that America's mounting federal debt is a "quiet killer," eating away at the foundation of the country. Domenici, with former Federal Reserve Vice Chair Alice Rivlin, co-chairs a bipartisan task force recommending big changes in the way the government spends and raises money.

November 10, 2010 President Obama was forced to scramble his schedule in Indonesia to avoid being grounded by a cloud of volcanic ash. He left Indonesia ahead of schedule Wednesday to make his way to the G-20 summit in South Korea. Before leaving, he delivered a speech to the world's most populous Muslim country.

November 8, 2010 Speaking to reporters in New Delhi on Monday, President Obama called the relationship between U.S. and India a "defining partnership" of the 21st century. In his first stop on an extended tour of Asia, Obama sat down with India's prime minister and also addressed parliament Monday. Obama aimed to boost trade and get cooperation on anti-terrorism efforts with the visit, and India wanted support in its push for a seat on the U.N. Security Council.

November 7, 2010 In India Sunday, President Obama joined a group of high school students celebrating Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Later, he held a town hall meeting with college kids, in the commercial capital of Mumbai. Aides say the president chose India as the first stop on his lengthy Asian tour to spotlight the high priority the U.S. places on the relationship. It's also a chance for Obama to play salesman in one of the world's fastest-growing markets.

November 3, 2010 After what he called a "shellacking" of his Democratic Party in Tuesday's midterm elections, President Obama says he's reflecting on what he might have done differently over the past two years. In a news conference Wednesday, the president offered to work together with newly empowered Republicans in Congress, but he acknowledged it won't be easy.

October 20, 2010 For all the hand-wringing and breathless forecasts, the oil spill does not appear to have done lasting political damage to the president or his party. Still, every day President Obama was forced to spend on the spill was a day he couldn't devote to his own agenda.

Many a cynic has said that the stock market and the economy are crap games. In some respects, perhaps they are like games of chance, subject to the whims of fate. Any random, unpredicted occurrence such as a natural disaster, war, revolution or the discovery of a vast new oil field can drive the economy either up or down. (For more on the relation between the Market and the economy, check out How Economic Reality Influences The Market.)
TUTORIAL: Economics Basics
So far Las Vegas bookies don't take bets on the economy or the stock, currency and commodity markets, although that may soon change as Nevada gambling laws are changed to allow those bets. Bookies in the United Kingdom, however, will take bets on almost anything.
Assuming such novelty bets were accepted, below are the odds that might be quoted by a Las Vegas bookie. Although the odds quoted are arbitrary, and not based on any actuarial data, they are also based on knowledge and what seems like probability.
100 to 1 Against a U.S. Default on its Debt.
The U.S. has never defaulted on its debt, and will not default on August 2, when theoretically the government runs out of money. Some eleventh hour agreement will be struck by Republicans and Democrats to the raise the debt ceiling, and U.S. creditors and entitlement recipients may be assured they'll be paid.
Even Money Odds Favor a Recovery of the U.S. economy to Begin This Year or in Early 2012.
Although an exact date can't be pinpointed, the U.S. economy will begin a slow recovery – but faster than its current two, to two-and-a-half percent rate of annual growth – once the debt crisis is resolved. With that issue behind us, even temporarily but with the promise of a permanent solution to come, businesses will be less fearful and use their huge cash reserves for expansion, replenishing inventory, capital improvements and hiring. Banks, similarly, will be more inclined to loan money to start-up enterprises, thus further stimulating the economy.
2 to 1 Inflation Will Soon Kick In.
The staggering U.S. debt, even if reduced over the next five to ten years, is an unpleasant reality, and interest must be paid to service our obligations. A recovering economy would help pay down those debts, but enough revenue may not be generated to pay off those loans and obligations completely. So additional government borrowing will be necessary and higher interest rates on U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds may be required to attract buyers of that debt. And to pay the higher interest, the government will probably print more money – which equals inflation. (For some tips on how you can deal with inflation, read Timeless Ways To Protect Yourself From Inflation.)
5 to 1 Against New Taxes in the Short Term.
New tax legislation apparently has no chance of passage with anti-tax Republicans currently dominating the House of Representatives. But depending on the results of coming elections and future economic imperatives, new taxes may be coming in a variety of forms, including the plugging of tax loopholes, the elimination of certain deductions, an increase in the corporate rate, and taxes in Internet transactions. Some legislators have even floated the idea of taxing e-mails.
2 to 1 China Will Eventually Overtake the U.S. as the World's Leading Economy.
This won't happen in the short term, or maybe not even in the mid-term. Yet China's sheer numbers have created a currently unstoppable economic momentum. With an estimated population of just over 1.3 billion people, and an average quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 9.31 percent from 1989 to 2010, if China's economic expansion and population growth continues at average rates, or even less, expect China's economy to ultimately race ahead of the U.S. economy – unless U.S. economic growth takes a significant upturn.
5 to 1 The U.S. Will Eventually Become Energy Self-Sufficient.
This may not happen for a decade at least, and may probably take even longer. But odds that the U.S. will become energy independent have gotten much better lately. The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently announced that proven domestic reserves of natural gas has increased to its highest level in 40 years at 284 trillion cubic feet. This is enough energy to provide electricity to every household in America for more than 73 years. Fracking technology has also recently been improved, enabling a more productive, efficient and economically viable method for extracting oil and gas from rocks and rock strata. The term "fracking," is slang term for hydraulic fracturing. Add to these two recent events, a government push to encourage solar and wind energy development, an increased use of electric battery powered automobiles, and mandating increased mileage per gallon, and America's reliance on foreign oil imports for energy will become significantly reduced in the decades to come. (To learn more about natural gas, read Natural Gas Industry: An Investment Guide.)

Suppose I have a weak reference to a car which has an ordinary reference to an engine. No other references to the car or the engine exist. Can the engine be garbage collected?
Yes it can, that is exactly how weak references are designed to work. The weak reference is the root that your object has to the application, even though the object may have other strong references it is the root reference that matters and since the root reference is a weak reference the object will be a candidate for garbage collection.
For more information please see WeakReference:
The Car instance could be garbage collected, but there is no guarantee that it will be garbage collected on the next GC cycle, or even that it will be collected at all. For example,
Here's a unit test that demonstrates weak references. Note that System.gc() will not guarantee that the object will get garbage collected and you should not rely on it.

Chris James and Susan Spencer from Norfolk enlist the help of Jonnie Irwin to find them their dream waterfront home in Tampa, Florida, for the whole family to enjoy
Chris James and Sue Spencer from Norfolk met at college but were reunited 30 years later after seperate marriages. They have five grown up children and four grandchildren between them.

Hi my name is Gary.
I bet that there isn't a whole lot of people who remember when this used to be TV Tome and Movie Tome. Those were the days. I remember when I was an editor back in those days. I had editorial rights of over 200 movies, shows, and people.
I rememeber taking Great pride in being the editor of Bruce Lee. I was once told that I had the most complete page on a person. I went to great lengths to allow a tribute website to let me use their bio of Bruce Lee that was over 6 pages long. I wrote his 24 word cause of death myself. I was obcessed with him and all the shows and movies I edited. Then this new system came in and I was stripped of manyshows and they eventually stopped e-mailing me notifications and I eventually lost my rights to the Bruce Lee page... It makes me sad thinking about it.

The lomon was slightly over powering. That asside it was liked very much by the whole family. Next time I'll lighten up on the lemon juice to mybe 2 small lemons (1/4 cup).flag if inappropriate
Just made the chicken portion for a quick lunch. The lemon juice really brightens the flavors of the herbs.Nice and light tasting.flag if inappropriate
The potatoes should be cooked a bit longer than suggested but other than that, the recipe was fairly tasty. It's not really anything special.flag if inappropriate
Do not leave out the anchovies- if the filets seem gross to you, get a tube of anchovy paste and use that. The flavor and saltiness adds something special to the dressing. I added white wine to the sauce for the chicken and thought it was a good easy meal to throw together- nothing outstanding but quick and tasty. I think next time I will bake breasts with the bone in.flag if inappropriate
I only made the chicken and I was very pleased with the result. I made more of the sauce and I think that it made my chicken very soft. The lemon flavor in the chicken was really good, everyone loved it!flag if inappropriate
It was good, but the chicken was not spectacular. I've tasted better. It was easy to cook though so it was aight.flag if inappropriate
I only did the chicken and potatoes as well but I substituted yams and thyme and it turned out really wellflag if inappropriate
I only made the chicken and potatoes. I added a little crushed fresh garlic to the potatoes. This was a delicious, easy recipe that I will definitely make again.flag if inappropriate
The Caesar salad was my favorite part-so easy and good, though I skipped the croutons. My husband and I both agreed that the chicken would have been better complimented with rice than potatoes, however.flag if inappropriate
For the salad, I made the following changes and it turned out great: Anchovies = Ewww, so I left them out. I also decided to roast the garlic instead of using raw, and added an extra clove or two, and instead cubed the bread, tossed with olive oil and herbs, and toasted them in the oven and made croutons. I also added 1/4 cup fresh grated parm to the ceasar. It was great! I only had boned chicken breasts, so I marinated them in the ingredients for the sauce, then stuffed fresh basil under the skin before I baked them for 1/2 hr on 350. Easy and my picky husband loved it. The potatos are great just as described.flag if inappropriate

For many people, making the decision to become a personal trainer is a career choice that turns out to be both challenging and satisfying. A personal trainer must be highly dynamic, as you will encounter a multitude of different clients, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and fitness goals.
As any personal trainer will attest, there is no one-size-fits-all approach!
As well as training a multitude of different clients, you will also have to adapt your training methods to suit a range of different locations, including a gym, someone's home, or even outside in a local park. This means that you will have to be imaginative in order to devise training routines that suit each unique training situation.
If this sounds like something you would really get a kick out of, you might want to enrol in one of the many personal trainer courses that are available. Fit Training , is one of the UK's leading training providers to the UK fitness industry.
The following guide will provide you with all the information you need to know about becoming a personal trainer.
Just as someone who is squeamish about blood would never become a surgeon, there is no point in becoming a personal trainer unless you enjoy taking part in sports and fitness on a regular basis.
Enrolling on a Personal Trainer course is classed as a level 3 qualification; however, before you can qualify as a personal trainer, you must already possess your level 2 qualifications. A level 2 qualification is the basic qualification that anybody needs to become a gym instructor, and is the prerequisite for becoming a personal trainer. A level 2 qualification can usually be done over the space of two weekends, which involves both theory and practical assessments.
One of the greatest things about a personal training course is the fact that you are constantly learning new skills. As well as being knowledgeable in fitness instruction, you will also need to be an expert in a range of different areas, including nutrition, physiology and anatomy. Therefore it is worthwhile being self-motivated to learn these new skills, as they will ultimately help you to do a better job.
As with any service, there is no consumption of a tangible product, which means that there is a huge emphasis on trust. Most people would be reluctant to go to a hairdresser if they were unsure of whether they would do a good job; the same is true of personal trainers. Paying around £20 an hour is a huge risk for clients if they are unsure of whether they will achieve their desired results. Therefore, as a personal trainer, you must be able to instantly gain your clients trust in order for them to feel relaxed and confident about your services. You could do this by showing them case studies or testimonials from previous clients, which adds a tangible element to your personal training services and builds a level of trust. In the service world, this is called a value proposition .
Becoming a personal trainer is more than just a 9-5 job; it's a calling. Becoming a personal trainer can lead to a fantastic and long-running career, all you need is to build strong working relationships with your clients and stay passionate about fitness.

jack potticary • November 18, 2011 at 5:18 pm #
Thanks for the insightful message. I appreciate your attempt to bring certainty into the realm of human discernment with kiniseology. My personal experience is that it often works and is helpful yet lacks the creativity necessary to navigate our way through the realm of possibilities.

I've heard of David and the kinesiology point system. is there a easy way for a novice to figure out where he is on the scale (for curiosity's sake)? also, I was curious how it might effect someones conciousness if, assuming someone, say, went on a three-month retreat to Peru and started going regularly to ayahuasca ceremonies, and decided to do it the right way and began regular meditations and the dieta? I ask this because when I first started college, it was my first time living on my own (away from my parents), and it took at least about two months for it to really sink in that I was truly free of my nosy, depressed mother, and that I could make choices for myself, not just to keep my mom happy.

The technique is really easy. He gives instructions in his books- usually in the appendix. It takes some practice, don't start making major decisions until you start to get consistent results. Start with simple, mundane things. It is also more reliable when you can test questions/calibrate using two people.
As for raising consciousness, all of the things you mentioned raise consciousness. Actually just reading Hawkins books raise consciousness. When you combine them they compliment and boost each other.
sean smyth • November 19, 2011 at 2:04 am #
Thanks for the info on David Hawkins. I looked at the intro of Power v's Force and ordered the book. I found myself relating to his experience around dark night of the soul and moving in and out of relatively enlightened states, fearing abandonment by a higher power.Not sure if I can get my head around surrendering to existence or non existence. I am hoping that my power to absorb truth will increase as I cleanse both physically and emotionally. I am looking forward to joining you guys in the jungle on February 18.

If there is no way of knowing what is "true-false," how can you measure what is "true-false"?
admin • November 19, 2011 at 4:43 pm #
By learning and using David Hawkins kinesiology technique. It has been extensively tested.
It is simple takes some time to learn/practice. Start with simple stuff then move up to more major decisions as you become more competent with the technique.

Sounds like dowsing to me. I've run across this while researching ley lines and I've had a homeopath which uses it…
"Some of the terms coined for the more esoteric systems of dowsing are Radiesthesia, Radionics, Bio-Energetics, Psycho-Metrics, Biophysics, and Psychotronics. One muscle testing book I have is padded with a mixture of Christian mysticism and technological wonder. It assumes that you will agree, by association, that what the author will later say is also true. They all are just different ways of dowsing producing the same results through different methods."
"Dowsing with an instrument can be done in several ways. The four most known possibilities are: a dowsing-rod (L-rod and Y-rod), a pendulum, a lecherantenne, and a bobber/biotensor. Besides an instrument, the muscles of the body can be used too to obtain answers. This is called manual muscle testing, muscle dowsing or kinesiology. For both working with an instrument as muscle testing, it is advisable to follow a course.
"It is also possible to dowse by using intuition or paranormal abilities (inner senses). Some people can see leylines running across the surface. Others can see that more energy is present at specific locations."

Give Hawkins a read about his kinesiology calibration method and see what you think. You can test random things that you can verify the truth/falsehood of directly. Use a participant and ask true/false questions that are related to the present or past (calibration is not reliable for future events).
It's also important to note that the accuracy of calibration increases as one's level of consciousness increases. If one's consciousness is above 200 (the level of integrity and truth), the accuracy rate may range from 60% to 80-90%. This is remarkable since using our own minds to "guess" at truth/falsehood will statistically fall into the 50/50 range.
The Hawkins books that broach this topic include:
"Truth vs. Falsehood"
"Power vs Force"
"The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden"

Very nice post, many of my belliefs are posted in here, like the importance of a continius spiritual practice for a long time, or how some "famous" curanderos become ""egomonsters", i have seen these things happening, my conciusness going up and down, some great shamans becoming cruel bussinesmen dominating people's minds, etc.
. This piece of the post says it all:
"Raising consciousness is never a straight line "up and to the right". There are plateaus and regressions throughout life regardless of ayahuasca and other practices. We all have egos, work to do, and our own processes."
Absolutely true, no matter if you are a very experienced shaman or a guru or a first-timer or whoever. And, a vey serius point for me, the importance of never drinking ayahuasca alone, without a shaman. This could be extreemly dangerous!
There is although a point i can not understand, even if you mention this:
"We know that some people will have a problem with putting a number to consciousness, we certainly did at first. This is just a form of spiritual ego- I don't need to have a number scale, I can "feel" in my heart what is "right". Well that is simply false as stated in the paragraphs above. It is important to realize that this scale is just a map that can help us in positive ways, and as stated above we do not have the ability to discern truth from falsehood. The scale is just a useful tool for our linear minds."
Well, yes, but even then, i can not understand this:
"ayahuasca itself calibrates at 598 on the Hawkins scale."
How can we calibrate ayahuasca? What exactly means this? How can we calibrate a great spirit like ayahuasca with our human calibrating methods? A calibrating method is only a logical tool, made by logic, coming from logic and speaking to logic.
Being an artist, i m allways a bit away from this idea of calibrating everything arround us, i know it is useful for our practical reasons but i bellieve it is just not possible some times, for example when you try to calibrate skills in art or which artist did better, ( and i have study many scales to do that) it is not one kilo or one metter of something, art is speaking (or at least should be speaking) to the soul and every soul is "listening" in different ways in different times, a case quite simillar to ayahuasca. To me, ayahuasca, far more than art, is not only impossible to calibrate, it is impossible to analyse, there is no meaning to do that because then you just jump back to your egoistic logical methods of reacting to your surroundings, a waste of time, a waste of healing.
Again, i can understand the need of calibrating in our life, when it has to do with shamans, yes, or sellers, yes, or companies, yes, or space between the white belt and the black belt in karate, yes, or anything human, yes, but not when it has to do with the soul and how the universe is breathing through the soul. I prefer to aviod it, i will only be confused, it drives me away from my intention.
Of course, calibrating ayahuasca could be very useful for you or other people, for your/their own development and reason, as you/they see fit, for your/their intentions. This is just my case, and it does not have to be the same with someone else's case.
Please forgive me for my not very good english, i hope the reader can feel what i m trying to say.
This is a very very interesting post, and my point of vew is just a point of vew, nothing less nothing more:)
Please give us more, we all need sites and posts like this.
admin • November 26, 2011 at 11:43 pm #
Actually calibration is not linear nor logical at all. Calibration taps into the universal consciousness which is omnipresent and omnipotent. This is why it is so powerful. The universe knows EVERYTHING. Therefore, it is not out of line to calibrate ayahuasca. In his books, Hawkins talks about calibrating archangels ( Calib. 50,000) and demons (Calib. below 0).

Green Products Guide: Flooring
Flooring is complicated. When deciding what to install, weigh the durability and maintenance of a floor against how it will impact acoustics. Another factor worth considering is the hardness of the surface, an issue of concern especially at elementary schools.
Tips and Product Picks
Avoid flooring with a short lifespan, made of non-recyclable materials, or those with installation methods that require lots of glue or other high-VOC (volatile organic compound) adhesives. Most standard carpet flooring fits that description. With a life expectancy of five to eight years, lots of it ends up in landfill each year. Also, the carpet itself and glue used to install it typically contain VOCs known to cause respiratory illness, headaches, fatigue, and other negative health consequences.
Product Pick:
Carpet Tile, made by InterfaceFLOR, a leading sustainable carpet manufacturer, is a healthy alternative to traditional carpet. These 20-by-20-inch tiles, made of a recyclable nylon fiber, require no glue for installation. Instead, carpet tiles are held together underneath with a thin Post-it-size square made of engineered plastic with adhesive qualities but no glue. If one tile gets damaged, it can easily be removed and replaced. InterfaceFLOR gets high marks for its reclamation and recycling program, Re-Entry 2.0. This service takes tiles back from customers at the end of its life cycle (estimated to be 15 years) and recycles the material to make new products.
Avoid high-maintenance flooring such as vinyl. Still found in many schools today and often mistakenly referred to as linoleum, vinyl flooring is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), often associated with increases in asthma. Vinyl floors also require frequent waxing and stripping, a labor-intensive and costly process typically done with cleaning products containing contaminants known to impact indoor air quality. Consider alternatives such as rubber flooring and true linoleum, which are made of natural ingredients.
Product Picks:
- Nora Rubber Floors, manufactured by Nora Systems, is Greenguard-certified. This resilient flooring is made of natural and recycled rubber (not tires), contains no toxic elements, and requires a low-maintenance routine of dusting and mopping. Because rubber floorings contain an inherent sheen, no waxing or stripping is required. The dense, smooth surface is not porous and therefore doesn't absorb grime and mold (making it antimicrobial). Nora rubber flooring costs about 30 percent more to purchase than vinyl; however, savings in maintenance make up the cost differential in three to four years. Nora Systems' take-back program allows customers to mail back installation waste and samples.
- Marmoleum, manufactured by Forbo Flooring Systems, is made of natural and biodegradable ingredients including linseed oil, wood flour, pine rosin, and limestone. If maintained correctly, this flooring is expected to last up to three decades. (Over time, the oxidation of linseed oil makes it harder and more durable.) The product contains a water-based finish and is easy to maintain, requiring only a dust mop and damp mop with a gentle cleaner. Forbo runs a composting program on the East Coast, which offers a free service to customers that entails picking up scraps and used floors and composting them.

Exhibitor AMC Entertainment Plans to Raise $368 Million in IPO
The movie theater giant, controlled by China's Dalian Wanda Group, plans to price its stock at $18-$20 per share.
U.S. movie theater giant AMC Entertainment Holdings, the movie theater chain controlled by China's Dalian Wanda Group, led by the country's richest man Wang Jianlin, plans to raise up to $368 million in an initial public offering that would value the company at up to $1.9 billion.
The Leawood, Kansas-based company will sell 18.4 million Class A shares at $18-$20 each, according to a statement late on Tuesday. It said it plans to use the funds to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes.
AMC is the second-largest theater group in the U.S. by revenue. It had revenue of $2.04 billion in the first nine months of 2013 and nearly 4,950 screens. The IPO would take the company public for the first time in nine years after previous attempts had been shelved.
Wang's Dalian Wanda, which acquired AMC last year for $2.6 billion, including debt, will retain an 80 percent stake.
Dalian Wanda controls one of China's largest property portfolios, including commercial properties, luxury hotels and cinemas. Chairman Wang said in recent months that the group is planning further moves into the entertainment industry, and in September it unveiled an $8.2 billion studio plan. It also won friends in Hollywood by donating $20 million to the Academy Museum.
AMC filed with regulators in August to raise up to $400 million in its IPO. Citigroup and BofA Merrill Lynch are the lead underwriters for the IPO.
In a filing late last month, AMC said the theater industry was in transition and there was a greater emphasis right now on sound, picture quality and comfort than on physical expansion.
"It is the ease of use and the amenities that these innovations bring to customers that will drive sustained profitability in the years ahead," AMC said.
