ARCHITECTURE OF AN ATOM, The 296 page graphic novel comes out in June 2017 - to be published by 2dcloud ! Pre-order on online sellers worldwide or better ask your local bookstore and public library to stock it.
Excessive, mysterious, wonderful, Juliacks work takes the graphic novel to a new and more plastic dimension. -Chris Kraus (filmmaker and author of I Love Dick, Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, Summer of Hate)
ARCHITECTURE OF AN ATOM is a long, deep breath before a dive. Its a Piscean tale of survival, harrowing and surreal, a dreamlike escape, a delight. Dive into this pool of misfits and watch how wreckage becomes magic, hunger becomes adventure, and human questions about love, intimacy, and community unravel and manifest in beautiful watercolors. The language matches the vibrancy of the drawings and paintings that describes a cast of characters surviving on the brink of a disaster, in the end forming a magnificent poetic experience. -Sally Wen Mao (poet, author of Mad Honey Symposium)
'Few people mine the potential of comics form for thrilling artwork as well as Juliacks. Her work is the pure cartooning we've all wished for but have never seen exactly this way. The aesthetic punch happens through a combination of imagery and narrative that exists within a system carved out by Juliacks --and as her art continues, the system itself becomes more intricate, more intense and more beautiful.' - Austin English (Gulag Casual, Christina & Charles, The Disgusting Room)
One, it's crazy, two, it's humanity... Haven't we all had the experience of feeling powerless or in a permanent state of discovery, when as an adult, we learn another language, or when we spend time in another culture? Our reduced vocabulary forces us to deal with a reduced level of communication. Architecture dun Atome becomes the anatomy of a composite humanity, where the thousands of accents correspond to thousands of colours, and where perpetual movement is the guarantee of a species in good health. Marie de Brugerolle (French art historian, and author of Guy de Cointets Five Sisters, Ne Pas Jouer Aved Des Choses Mortes, John Baldessari)
the thing I read is so damn good! Juliacks is a creater of a universe. When I think of this book I think of me peaking in to this universe. A puzzle of fragmense to sort out and to understand. I read back and forward, I feel like resurcher that try to find a answer. Even if I know its not an answer, I find one. It is a 290 pages poem, I took a piece with me the other day. I hear voices and i feel smells. It frighten me, but then i get sedused and stay. I tell you it is scary, but i promise you find a way out. And if you dont, just close the book. It will always be there waiting for you to open again, aggain and again. -Emelie Östergren ( Duke and his Army, The Evil Dress, Mr. Kenneth)

Summary: This is part 9 of a 10 part essay that suggests we can think of science as a weak form of samadhi. Here we introduce yogic cosmology as the means to understand how science and mathematics describe the natural world.
Skipping Rocks
Yoga and science each have their own methods for reaping knowledge from the world. By understanding these differences we come to understand science in a new, and deeper light. That is, after all, the purpose of this essay, recalling its title is: What is Science?
The difference can be summarized thus: science skims the surface of the world to acquire knowledge. Occasionally, via this skimming process science plumbs below the surface in an irregular, haphazard and unsystematic manner. Science is like Brownian motion; movement that may momentarily appear to have purpose, but is without direction when viewed over the long term.
Yoga dives beneath the surface and into the depths of the world. It does so systematically. Yoga does not stop at any particular depth below the surface. Yoga goes all the way to the center of the world, and thus acquires ultimate experience. It is the ability to contrast experience at the surface of the world, which is the condition of relative becoming, and the experience at the center of the world, which is the condition of absolute being, that allows yoga to shed light on this activity we call science.
Because yoga seeks to silence movement, vrittis, in the mind, it is acutely concerned with how the senses function. This is in contrast to most sciences that take for granted that the objects as presented by the senses can be taken for granted.
Yoga offers an elaborate integrated scheme of the effect of the senses on the mind, and the relationship between the senses and the objects of perception. Yoga not only understands sensation in terms of the mechanics of sensory contact with external objects, but looks much deeper at the effects of sensory input on the mind. The effects of sensory stimulation percolate through and grow within the mind, something like weeds in dirt, forming very complex mental and emotional structures. These are composite structures of sabda, jnana and artha, as discussed previously. Let us look at the sensory processes that give rise to these complex vritti structures in the mind.
On The Surface
Our modern understanding of sensory physiology is consistent with the yogic understanding. The senses interact with objects by, for lack of a better term, bouncing off objects. No direct contact between senses and objects ever occurs. Vision is caused by photons emitted by or reflected off objects. The photons are a middle man between the object and senses. Hearing, like seeing, is mediated via sound waves acting as middle men. Touch is perhaps the most paradoxical of sensations. With touch, it appears as if we make contact with the object. But physics teaches us that the interaction is the microscopic repulsion of electron clouds generating inertia at the macroscopic level. Thus, touch is repulsion between the sensors and the object; touch is the exclusion of the object from the senses. Taste and smell are perhaps the most intimate of the senses because microscopic pieces of the object enter the mouth and nose, respectively, and mediate a touch-like interaction at a molecular level. Again, however, the essential forces involved are those of the repulsion of the electron clouds of the odorant or tactile molecules with the receptors. And more importantly, what is conveyed by taste and smell are pieces of the object that were expelled from the object.
Thus, via this "bouncing off of" action of sight, hearing and touch, and to a lesser extent smell and taste, the senses reveal only the surface of external objects.
Neuroscience therefore confirms the yogic insight that sensation is a non-contact phenomenon. The emphasis in yoga that sensation is a form of non-contact with the objects of perception derives via contrast with the experience of samadhi, where there occurs a literal fusion of the object and the observer. They are opposite extremes in a spectrum of knowing: contacting merely the surface of things by a "bouncing off of" process, as opposed to actually becoming the thing.
The senses become "excited" due to being repelled by objects and convey this excitation into the brain. In the brain, extremely complex patterns of electricity are generated. In turn, the electrical patterns generate vrittis, waves, dynamical patterns, gunas (choose your favorite term, they are all the same) in the mind. It is the vrittis that constitute the elements of direct, first person awareness. We are therefore only directly conscious of the far distal effects of sensory activity that occur at the end of a long chain of complex events.
The patterns in the mind reflect only the surface of the object and none of its interior. Even if we cut a thing open to inspect its interior, we encounter only new surfaces. And so it goes all the way down to quarks, and all the way up to the largest scale galactic structures. "Things within things within things within things" is the end result of sensory perception. The mind only knows surfaces within surfaces within surfaces, like the Russian nested dolls.
Further, nothing perceived is static. Everything moves. Everything is dynamic. What appear to be static surfaces at a low magnification are resolved to be patterns of movement at a higher magnification. This point is driven home in the following exchange between a 2nd grader and physics instructor (original here):
Student: "… is a quark bigger or smaller than an electron?"
Physicist: "A quark has never demonstrated any measurable size…The size of a proton or neutron comes from the motion of the quarks as they orbit around each other…the proton/neutron is essentially a cloud of motion…It is this cloud of motion that gives the proton/neutron its size."
What we are aware of in our minds are dynamic patterns (gunas) that create mirages of solidity at more macroscopic levels, but dissolve into only motion when intensely scrutinized.
How we Extract Jnana From Sensations
As discussed in Part 4, the yogic theory of knowledge sees all thinking in the vikshepa state as a composite of sabda, jnana and artha. To briefly review: Sabda are the arbitrary symbols associated with external events and (seeming) objects. Jnana is empirical knowledge: the mind shaped by sensory events and the associated thoughts. Artha is the true essence of a thing.
It was claimed previously that science works by eliminating sabda and extracting jnana from sensory consciousness. Let's illustrate this process by example. Consider the idea of gravity. Of course we see things fall down all the time. That is the sensory fact. We also see stuff move in the night sky. That is also a fact. We now know that both sensory experiences are the result of gravity. But it wasn't always so, and this idea has undergone a few major transformations over the past 2000 years.
First was Aristotle, who thought that falling down was an attribute of things that fall down. This idea did not allow him to link movement on Earth with that of the heavens. It also prevented him from seeing gravity as a thing it itself. Aristotle's view was our forerunner of the idea of mass or inertia, but it was blind to the idea of the gravity force as a thing itself. Newton recognized there were really two things going on: there is mass, which has the potential to fall, and there is a force that acts on mass, gravity, that actually makes things fall. Newton therefore linked sensory experiences on Earth and the heavens. He made an equation for this and it all seemed settled, even though people, including Newton, did not like "spooky" action at a distance. A couple hundred years later, building on the work of hundreds or thousands of people, Einstein saw a new way to link gravity and mass, and radically transformed Newton's force into the bending of space-time in General Relativity. We know today that Einstein's view cannot be the whole answer because it cannot be reconciled with quantum mechanics. Physicists are currently working very hard to find the next theory of gravity.
Let us dissect this process in yogic terms. First there are the sensory experiences: the perceptions of things falling down, or moving in the night sky. By itself, sensation means nothing and must always be interpreted by the mind. The sabda aspects are the words and ideas used to explain the sensory experience. Jnana refers to the progressively accurate correspondence between the words and ideas, on one hand, and the sensory experiences on the other. Aristotle was not wrong; he just didn't have the whole picture. The same can be said for both Newton and Einstein. We thus see a progression where the meaning, the understanding, more accurately reflects what the senses had been conveying all along. So, jnana refers to those meanings in the mind that accurately correspond to sensations.
What of artha? The artha is also a form of meaning, but of a different quality. Aristotle's idea didn't have much artha in it. Its main power was to propel other people to keep wondering why things fall. But Newton's ideas actually tapped into artha, because now, the meaning could be used to extract power from the world and to cause rational changes. Newton's ideas gave us superpowers. Einstein's ideas tapped even deeper into the artha of gravity. A whole new level of power could be extracted, as Hiroshima and Nagasaki found out the hard way.
Compared to sabda and jnana, artha is very hard to intellectually characterize. It is meaning that allows the release of power from the world. That is the easiest way to say it. But to state exactly the characteristics of this meaning is probably impossible, though we will attempt to do so in the next section.
There is an important feature of science that our single example illustrates. We are forced to always update our notions of objective reality in science, even in deductive sciences like physics, let alone inductive sciences like biology. Similar stories as above can be told for every science.
In fact, it is the cultural norm of science to expect that all ideas are tentative and that, tomorrow, something can come along and completely transform our understanding of any part of the world. It is ironic: scientific culture accepts tentativeness and rejects the possibility of certainty, yet is poised to forever seek such certainty.
One way to understand artha is to quote from a song by the 1970s progressive rock band Yes: "Catch the wind and hold on tight to what you find…"
What do you find when you try to catch the wind?
Artha is beyond the intellect. In Part 8 the irony was pointed out that even though true scientific activity results in limits, it is through those limits that power is released. In a very indirect and oblique way, the whole history of science is Kant's program to define the limits of reason. The limit theorems of science are the limits on reason forced on us by the input of our senses.
What is a limit? It is something that cages and confines. A limit stops movement. Now, I will use the world limit in another sense also, in the sense it is used in calculus. We can speak of the limit of 1/x as x goes to infinity. In this case, the limit is zero. Consider this: what would be the (calculus) limit if all limit theorems were known? Knowing all the limit theorems would stop the mind from moving in all arbitrary directions. The limit of all limit theorems would be perfect knowledge. At this limit, the mind would not even move at all. It would be a state of perfect equipoise, like a balance on a razor's edge. It would be yoga.
Mathematics and Artha
A crucial ingredient in the development of Western science and technology is the marriage of science and mathematics. What do we see in the progression of Aristotle → Newton → Einstein? We see the progressive reliance on math and the decreasing reliance on the senses. Aristotle used no math and his ideas released very little power, if any at all. Newton's math was grounded in sensory perceptions: apples falling, planets making trajectories through the sky. Nonetheless, power was released from his ideas. Newton was part of the genesis of the industrial revolution. By Einstein, the senses are pushed out of the picture. No one has ever had a sensory experience of riding along a light wave. Like Mickey Mouse and Unicorns, this existed only (initially at least) in Einstein's imagination. But he was able to translate these musings into math and invent his Theories of Relativity, and again, for the umpteenth time, much power was released.
We hit here on a very crucial point that has not gone unnoticed to the Western intellect: What is this "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics"? This question also leads to serious irony. Science is thought of as hard-nosed, as sticking to facts, which means sensory experience. Yet, time and again, the senses fail. And who picks up the slack? Mathematics does.
But what is math? Math is a specific type of thought occurring in the human imagination, which we define more precisely below. But, unlike fiction novels, Hollywood movies, and unicorns, these imaginary thoughts have a direct correspondence to sensory experience.
But why?
From the Western intellect's point of view, there are many answers to this question, which means nobody knows the right answer. Right now, today, people who think of this issue are awe struck, and mostly confused about it. Consider an extreme example. Max Tegmark, a professor of physics at MIT, has been promoting the idea that math works because the physical world is a mathematical object. This is just plain silly. The physical world is definitely not a mathematical object, and not many people take Max seriously. But Max's efforts are useful for illustrating the extreme confusion that plagues the Western mind. He is, in fact, one of the honest and confused scientists working at the intersection of mind and matter.
Can yoga help us understand why math is so effective at releasing artha in the world? Yes it can, but we must learn some more technical yogic ideas first.
Into the Depths: Yogic Cosmology
Previously I pointed out that yogis do not learn samadhi to know things, but learn samadhi for a different purpose. The purpose is to dive into the depths of consciousness; to go from the outer surface of sensory experience to the center of being, where all existence converges. From this experience emerges a cosmology, yogic cosmology. By understanding yogic cosmology we can directly answer the question of why math is effective for describing the natural world, and some other questions that I have avoided answering so far.
Yogic cosmology is defined in aphorisms 1.17 and 2.19 of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras:
Aphorism 1.17:
Aphorism 2.19:
Again, we rely on Professor Taimni to translate for us:
Aphorism 1.17: "Samprajnata Samadhi is that which is accompanied by reasoning, reflection, bliss and sense of pure being"
Aphorism 2.19: "The stages of the Gunas are the particular, the universal, the differentiated and the undifferentiated."
These aphorisms are a BIG DEAL. A whole cosmology is described in two sentences. The aphorisms describe the entirety of the external world and the corresponding levels of mind. Both the external world and the mind are described to consist of four distinct levels, phases, or states. I will use the term "state", in an analogous sense to how we speak of a "state of matter" such as solid, liquid and gas.
Both the external world and mind are described in terms of four different states of the gunas. Recall the three gunas: rajas (chaotic dynamics), tamas (point attractors) and sattva (limit cycle attractors). Each of the three gunas can exist in each of four states as shown in the following table, adapted from Taimni's Science of Yoga:
State of gunas
Corresponding state of consciousness
Specific instances
I've also prepared the following diagram that illustrates the relationship among the four states of yogic cosmology:
The Four States of Things and Stuff
What is the four-fold cosmology of yoga? This now gets us into Unknown Territory for the typical person. According to yoga, the world we perceive with our senses is only one of four co-existing worlds. When one shuts out the world of sensory experience via pratyahara, it is discovered immediately that there are other layers of conscious experience beneath or within the one we are experiencing right now. The other three worlds are altered states of consciousness. In fact, the yogic cosmology is the map of the possible altered states of consciousness. It is comprehensive. There is no state of consciousness not contained in the above table.
Talk of altered states scares some people. But it need not. All of us have some minor experience with altered states and we call it "dreaming". When we dream at night, we have transferred our consciousness out of this world and into the adjacent world, called "avisesa". So, if one is scared by these concepts, go work in a factory or retail sales. You have no business in intellectual matters if you cannot handle it.
As the diagram above indicates, the world, existence, Nature, whatever you want to call it, has four levels or states. These states are depicted as concentric spheres, one within another. This concentric arrangement represents the inward descent into the depths of consciousness effected by samadhi. The four states of consciousness listed in the table above are the four sub-types of samprajnata samadhi (samadhi with a seed) as defined in aphorism 1.17 above.
The worlds and corresponding states of consciousness listed above are the empirical categories of consciousness discovered by yogis. These are not mere philosophical ideas. Again, they are operational. They are the terms required to describe yogic experience.
In yogic cosmology, the world is a much bigger, and much more abstract place than it is in modern scientific cosmology. I'll now briefly describe the four states of matter and mind.
From the Specific to the General
The outermost state is called visea and the corresponding consciousness is called vitarka. In short, this outer level is the state of consciousness we are in right now in the world of waking experience. The world of visea is the world we perceive with our senses when awake. All the discussion above about surfaces and such was describing vitarka consciousness in the world of visea.
Visea/vitarka is perhaps most informatively translated as "specific instances of". The visea world is the world of specific people, specific trees, specific planets, specific stars, specific universes, etc. You get the idea. The corresponding state of consciousness perceives these as relatively autonomous objects. But in the world of waking, full of seemingly endless objects, what are these objects specific instances of?
They are specific instances of generic archetypes. Avisea means "lacking specificity" or "generic". Vicara means "synthesis". Where vitarka consciousness perceives a field full of specific roses, vicara consciousness perceives only the general property of "rose-ness". Vicara consciousness perceives the various archetypes only, and not specific instances of the archetypes. The world of vicara is the world of archetypes. The corresponding consciousness is one of "synthesis", or more informatively, of "generic-ness".
NEWS FLASH for the Platonist mathematicians: Plato's world of mathematical objects actually does exist and it is the avisea realm discovered by yogis. In fact, the avisea realm is the realm of the mind in the dream state. Dreams convey archetypes as meanings, as Carl Jung recognized. This is why dreams make so little sense from the waking standpoint. Dream perceptions convey a different type of information than do the sensory perceptions in the waking world of visea. The waking mind of vitarka interprets dreams in terms of specific instances when in fact the information conveyed is that of achetypical qualities.
But there are many archetypes (infinity actually) and they are entwined in endless complex patterns. The world that reveals how the archetypes interlink is the world of linga. Linga means "marked", as in putting an identifying mark on something. By "marked" is meant that the archetypes are distinguishable from one another, in spite of the fact that they are hooked together into patterns. Perception of this world is called "ananda", bliss. Relationships of the most abstract character occur in consciousness at this level. To perceive at this level is bliss beyond anything possible in the waking state. This bliss is very feebly reflected, for example, in the beauty and elegance people feel when seeing good mathematics. However, the understanding experienced here far transcends any understanding of the intellect in vitarka consciousness. This level intrudes into vitarka consciousness via intuitions of Heavens and Gods, the great myths of Humanity, the desire to unify all knowledge, and other such insights.
Finally, although the archetypes hook together in the awe-inspiring and mostly incomprehensible patterns, in the final analysis they fuse to form one thing: the totality of existence. The Greeks had a word for this: logos. The Divine Plan. The Divine Plan has many pieces. The many pieces are seen directly in vitarka consciousness as individual beings, seen in vicara consciousness as archetypes, and seen in ananda consciousness as patterns of archetypes. But the Divine Plan itself is just one unified thing. When the Plan is seen in its totality, the various pieces of it are "unmarked", they are "Alinga". The corresponding consciousness, asmita, transcends even the bliss of ananda consciousness. No words can explain; which is why I wrote a poem about it.
What the BLEEP
That, in a nutshell, is the Universe discovered by Yoga. Here a few comments are made about this cosmology.
First to be noted is that concepts of an external world go hand in hand with states of consciousness. There is no dichotomy here; each world is identical with a specific state of consciousness. Further, the scheme is all-encompassing. There is nothing one can think that is not within the map. A smart person schooled in the Western view of the world should, if you really understand what is being said, feel stupid and embarrassed in the face of this cosmology.
Second, as seen in the above descriptions, the yogic view of the world, what they call manifested existence, has the general form of going from the general to the specific as you move from the center outwards. It is a common sense way to organize thinks when you think about it, although the idea has not occurred to western science. Western scientists look for specific things, like energy, or information, or entropy, or symmetry, or some such archetype to ground a "theory of everything". But the yogis discovered that the universe is naturally arranged such that the absolutely most general thing, pure being, becomes progressively more specific and differentiates into an infinitude of specific beings at the periphery.
Taimni spells this out in a useful way by calling it "differentiation", with some allusion to the calculus function. He compares it to passing white light through a prism. The colors are latent, or potential in white light, but a mechanism is required to manifest them. Dispersion breaks the unified white light into its differentiated component frequencies. It is a simple metaphor but it captures the idea of going from the general to the specific, from the unified to the diverse, from the One to the Many.
Third, review Aphorism 2.19 above. Notice the last two works are "guna parvani", meaning the "states of the gunas". This, to me, is the most remarkable aspect of the yogic cosmology: it describes dynamical patterns. Period. Nothing else. All states of consciousness, all external worlds are nothing but movement. In each state, the mind/body dichotomy is handled identically: both mind and matter are gunas. They are of the same "stuff". Therefore there is no dichotomy.
This is what I meant when I said, "The Hindu mind is literal and material in a fashion far beyond the Occidental imagination". The four states of gunas are all worlds of matter, but only the outermost is material in the sense the Western brute mind understands. The inner realms are solely mental, and in fact transition into worlds of spiritual "stuff", spiritual matter. To the yogic mind, Gods and Heavens are as material as the ground under your feet. They are all only gunas. It is all only movement.
Finally, to add the cherry to the top, none of this matters to a yogi. The cosmology of yoga is provided by way of the instruction: "this is to be avoided". There is one state not described in the above scheme. It is not really a state. It is something altogether different, but this "thing" is the only goal of yoga. The "thing" is called Kaivalya and it corresponds to consciousness at the very center of the circle. Discussing Kaivalya is not relevant to the present essay. We include it for completeness sake. All the power, all the artha released in yoga has only Kaivalya as its goal. To the yogi, the four worlds of matter and movement is all a giant distraction. It is Prakriti, the gunas, the Maya. It is all "… a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
Back to the Point
So now, with yogic cosmology under our belt, all the problems we have raised can be solved. As we have seen, yoga solves the mind-body dichotomy by formulating these merely as patterns of the gunas. Other problems we have raised are solved in a similarly straight-forward manner.
How Math Works
Math works because the four worlds permeate each another. Events in one world affect events in the other worlds. Each of the four worlds are sources of vrittis. As such, to the yogi they need to be silenced (yogah chitta vritti nirodhah). But to everyone else, the four worlds interpenetrate. We access all four in our minds all the time, whether we are aware of the fact or not.
The impact of each world (realm or loka) in the conscious mind is a difference of scale. It is, in part, an intensity issue. When we are in vitarka consciousness, it overwhelms us, just as, during the day, the sun's light overwhelms our vision and we cannot see the stars. Similarly, the gunas of visea mostly drown out the gunas from the other three worlds. It is also an issue of "rate of vibration". Just as a UV detector cannot detect x-rays, the minds of most people are tuned only to interpret the crude gunas of vitarka consciousness. They have not trained their minds to detect the much finer vibrations imparted from the three inner layers. So, although the vibrations are present, they are invisible, just as x-rays are invisible to a UV detector, even if present.
However, in spite of the intensity and frequency issues, vrittis from the deeper worlds do come through occasionally, at least in some distorted form, into vitarka consciousness. The fact that they do explains a whole host of mental phenomena including imagination and creativity, psi and paranormal stuff, spiritual intuition, and also mathematical insight. {In passing, I just love explaining math and psi in the same sentence. That will upset a lot of people!}
Mathematical insight is nothing more than perceptions of avisea and linga breaking through into waking consciousness. Some people are more tuned to receive the subtle mental ripples generated in the mind by these worlds. When coupled with the right training of the mind, we call such people mathematicians. The vrittis from the deeper layers that enter the consciousness of mathematicians are the patterns of archetypes and their relationships. Mathematics is a specific form of sabda that allows an accurate expression of these patterns and relationships. Mathematics is Western civilization's version of Nada Yoga, the yoga whereby patterns in sound and symbols match reality.
How Samadhi Works
Next, we ask, how it is a yogi can get true insight about a supposedly objective thing when mediation occurs only in the mind of the yogi. The answer should now be obvious. All true insight comes only from the mind in the first place. As is well-known, the senses are generally unreliable guides to discern truth. Input from the deeper layers always accompanies sensory input. People we call "geniuses" are those with the right combination of sensory perception, and attunement to the deeper layers, and also in the right place at the right time (which is called "karma" and a topic for another long essay) to make a substantial contribution to the social activity we call science.
So, what the normal scientist does and what the yogi does are not all that different when seen from the view of yogic cosmology. Both tune into the deeper worlds and get perceptions of things at those levels, perceptions that are generalizations of the specific things experienced by vitarka sensory consciousness. However, the yogi does this with infinitely better precision. First, they are trained to do so, and second, their actions are informed and guided by yogic cosmology. The normal scientist, even of the most genius caliber, must always fight against the resistance and noise generated by multitudes of vrittis unrelated to science reverberating in their mind.
The methods of yoga that silence the vrittis in a systematic and progressive fashion, will, to use Patanjali's term "clarify memory" so the only thought in the mind is of the desired object. Furthermore, as previously discussed, the pratyaya is stripped of sabda and jnana. When only artha remains, there is no interference, only a straight-line run to the center.
The pratyaya is found to be only some pattern of movement, pattern of gunas. This pattern is akin to a "cosmic address code" for the object as a thing in itself. Via this "address code" the yogi is able to sink to the center of consciousness and fuse with the consciousness that is the being of the object.
In our vikshepa state we cannot experience samadhi, but we can compare it to things we do experience and gain some small insight into this state of consciousness. There are two things we can compare it to: (1) mathematical insight, and (2) our own existence.
One on hand, samadhi is akin to mathematical insight in that it is a purely mental phenomenon that can reveal truth. But the svarupa of the pratyaya is more abstract, complex, and contains movement. Imagine the physical sound waves associated with a song, such as Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, or The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. Then imagine you can comprehend the wave patterns of the whole song as one whole object. The time sequence would merely be cross-sections of this object. This gives some small sense of what a svarupa "looks" like.
Most important, the perception of the svarupa of the object as an external is only a phase in the process of samadhi. Ultimately, the yogi fuses with the consciousness that gives rise to the pattern. The fusion is with the subjectivity of the object: knowing by being. The yogi becomes the object, so the external complexity fades behind the subjective awareness.
In our internal subjective states we know and control what we are, without any detailed knowledge of our construction. It is like this for the yogi in samadhi. There is no yogi and there is no object, there is a fused entity that is both. The knowledge acquired is that of being the object itself. By being the object, the yogi acts as the object and the object acts as the yogi. It is as intimate an understanding as your understanding of yourself, except orders of magnitude more clear since the exercise of separating out sabda and jnana preceded the fusion with the svarupa. There are no mistaken perceptions in samadhi, just as there is no mistake that you are you and not some other entity.
Swami J speaks to the idea that our normal waking state can be thought of as a form of samadhi:
"You're in samadhi right now: This is a little hard to believe, but at the present moment you are in samadhi, and the object on which you are in samadhi is your perception of who you are, in the context of how you believe the world to be. In fact, you are pure consciousness, Self, Seer, etc., but have difficulty experiencing this because of the clouding of the mind field."
Thus, the yogi knows the svarupa by becoming the object. The yogi accesses artha by acting as the object.
What about Artha?
Finally is the issue of power. This is the deepest and hardest to express. Artha, power, is a fact of nature at the deepest level. It is an obvious, but very mysterious and ambiguous truism, that some unbelievably extreme, perhaps incomprehensible, form of power generated the universe. The lesson of yoga is that we are directly plugged into this power. It is the same power ultimately, that wells up in the depths of our consciousness and gives light to every moment of existence and nonexistence. That we humans can arrange the thoughts in our mind in such specific ways and release power can almost be taken as empirical proof for the yogic cosmology.
Otherwise, without the yogic framework, the whole process is a complete mystery. Why would a bunch of creatures that are proportionately less than a speck of dust in the Cosmos, us human, be able to do what we do with our minds? It simply makes no sense from any other viewpoint. We must be directly plugged into the ultimate power source that created the universe in the first place to be able to release and access such power ourselves.
This activity we call science is a set of methods to access this power in a haphazard and disorganized fashion. The activity called yoga accesses the power in a systematic and stepwise fashion.
Existence Makes No Sense
After all of the above, we close out this long, second-to-the-last installment, with a commentary on the empirical mind trapped in the state of vitarka consciousness. This is the mind Kant described. This is the mind of vikshepa. It is the mind of the person who lives on the surface of life, and at the surface of their own mind. Many of these people are scientists and they chase after something they do not understand, driven blindly and unconsciously like moths to a flame, by forces they neither suspect exist nor would understand if revealed. It is a commentary on intersubjective verifiability, the only plausible philosophical foundation of science:
"Everything in the world is a network of unintelligible relations. Things are not perceived by all in the same fashion. … The forces of distraction which constitute the individual consciousness are not of the same quality in everyone. There is a difference among individuals in their perception and thinking. … Everyone is inside the prison of his own experience and knows nothing outside his consciousness."

Hey Cuties,
LittleCuteLips and I set out on a Girl's Day before Thanksgiving to see Sesame Street Live! Let's Party! The ManChild turned 14 on the same day so we left the boys to do boyish things. I invited one of our friends and her daughter. She is 1 1/2 so I knew she would really enjoy the show.
"I am a Feld Family Ambassador, and in exchange for my time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, Feld Entertainment has provided me with complimentary tickets."
We arrived at the Patricia & Arthur Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric in Baltimore, Maryland without incident. The girls were excited to get in and get seated, and the venue space was perfect. This was our first time and our seats were amazing.
They had all of our favorites in the show and the kids were excited every time a new character hit the stage.
Mrs. Love + Baby Love!
We've known each other for many years, but this was our first time really hanging out. I met her via Babe and the Motorcycle crew. We had a great time chit-chatting while the girls enjoyed a movie on the way up and then a nap on the way back. We have lived and now we are in a much different place in life. A good place that includes a lot of talk about furniture and Pinterest. lol
My girl is always down, I wasn't sure how she would feel about Sesame Street since she is almost seven. As it turns out we can have fun anywhere we go, and we did.
The Sesame Street crew had to work together to plan a party. Much like everyday life, it was hard to get everyone on one accord, but they found a way to include something everyone wanted to do. They had cute life lessons nestled in between the singing, dancing and laughing. Community was a big theme, and I appreciated that. Back in the day, we all knew our neighbors, now communities aren't like that anymore.
Meet the show characters:
Grover: Also known as Super Grover and Grover Monster, self-described as lovable, cute and furry, he is a blue monster who rarely uses contractions when he speaks or sings. He moved into the neighborhood in 1970.
Rosita: Is a 5-year-old turquoise Hispanic female monster Muppet. Rosita is fluent in both English and Spanish, she is the first regular bilingual Muppet on the show. Rosita comes from Mexico and moved into the neighborhood in 1991.
Elmo: Is a furry red monster with a falsetto voice, who hosts the last full fifteen-minute segment on Sesame Street, "Elmo's World", which is aimed at toddlers. He moved into the neighborhood in 1985.
Big Bird: The main leader on Sesame Street, he is an eight-foot two-inch tall bright yellow anthropomorphic canary. He can roller skate, ice skate, dance, swim, sing, write poetry, draw, and even ride a unicycle. He moved into the neighborhood in 1969.
Abby Cadabby: Mostly referred to as just Abby, is a 3-year-old Muppet, she moved into the neighborhood in 2006.
Oscar the Grouch: Is a green body, with no visible nose, and lives in a trash can. His favorite thing is trash, as evidenced by the song "I Love Trash", with a running theme being his collection of seemingly useless items. He moved into the neighborhood in 1969.
Cookie Monster: Is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases, such as "Me want cookie!", "Me eat cookie!", and "Om nom nom nom". He moved into the neighborhood in 1966.
Because I can show you better than I can tell you peep this snip-it of the show.
Do you have a favorite Sesame Street character? Chat with me in the comments below or FB, IG, and Twitter.

Will I be required to be on a Pre-Op diet before surgery?
Yes. The liquid meal replacement provides the necessary nutrition for your daily needs and also changes the metabolic process to encourage pre-surgery weight loss. Some specific reasons for compliance are:
All patients are on a two week pre-operative high protein, low carbohydrate diet due to enlarged, fatty livers. This diet allows the liver to shrink which improves surgical access and increases patient safety.
Our program recommends Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements and Protein Fusion bars for our pre-op surgery patients. Following surgery, all patients are required to continue the liquid diet until seen in the office. Bariatric Advantage provides a complete line of nutritional supplements that have been specifically formulated to meet the unique needs of the bariatric patient.

SEBRING, Fla.—There is a championship within a championship being contested during the TUSC Sebring 12 Hours this weekend. The Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup is a four-race series within the twelve-race Tudor United Sportscar Championship season, comprised of the four longest events on the schedule: the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Sebring 12 Hours, Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen, and the ten-hour season finale, Petit Le Mans.
These four races represent the true endurance racing aspect of the Tudor schedule, the toughest tests of driver, car and team. Befitting the effort needed is the prize offered: $300,000 for the winning teams in each class.
Points for the championship are awarded after the first quarter, halfway, third quarter and end of the race, so the race winner is not necessarily the NAEC winner for each round.
A perfect case in point: Action Express with its two-car team leads the Prototype class, but Wayne Taylor Racing's single car leads the drivers' points while being third as a team.
The other three class-leading teams are also on top in drivers' points. Core Autosport leads Prototype Challenge, Porsche North America leads GT Le Mans and Level 5 Motorsports leads GT Daytona.
The way points are allocated can affect a team's race strategy. Level 5 co-driver Jeff Segal told IMSA.com, "This is an important championship—we discussed it during the race. I know there is a lot yet to be determined this season, but it's fantastic to come out of Daytona with the points lead."
The 62nd Mobil 1 Sebring 12 Hours takes the green flag at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, March 15.
Visit IMSA.com for more information or SebringRaceway.com for tickets.

$\left\{ -\dfrac{4}{3},0,\dfrac{4}{3} \right\}$
Work Step by Step
$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ Express the given equation, $ 9x^3=16x ,$ in factored form. Then use the Zero Product Property by equating each factor to zero. Finally, solve each of the resulting equations. $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ Using the properties of equality, the given equation is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 9x^3-16x=0 .\end{array} The $GCF$ of the constants of the terms $\{ 9,-16 \}$ is $ 1 $ since it is the highest number that can divide all the given constants. The $GCF$ of the common variable/s is the variable/s with the lowest exponent. Hence, the $GCF$ of the common variable/s $\{ x^3,x \}$ is $ x .$ Hence, the entire expression has $GCF= x .$ Factoring the $GCF= x ,$ the expression above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x(9x^2-16)=0 .\end{array} The expressions $ 9x^2 $ and $ 16 $ are both perfect squares and are separated by a minus sign. Hence, $ 9x^2-16 ,$ is a difference of $2$ squares. Using the factoring of the difference of $2$ squares which is given by $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b),$ the expression above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x(3x+4)(3x-4)=0 .\end{array} Equating each factor to zero (Zero Product Property), then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x=0 \\\\\text{OR}\\\\ 3x+4=0 \\\\\text{OR}\\\\ 3x-4=0 .\end{array} Solving each equation results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x=0 \\\\\text{OR}\\\\ 3x+4=0 \\\\ 3x=-4 \\\\ x=-\dfrac{4}{3} \\\\\text{OR}\\\\ 3x-4=0 \\\\ 3x=4 \\\\ x=\dfrac{4}{3} .\end{array} Hence, the solutions are $ \left\{ -\dfrac{4}{3},0,\dfrac{4}{3} \right\} .$

|"We shouldn't be fighting among ourselves, especially during leaf-bare. We should be worrying about keeping our Clans safe! [...] We must listen to StarClan."
|— Yellowfang after fighting breaks out at the Gathering in Fire and Ice, page 248
- Below contains in-depth information for chapter twenty three of Fire and Ice. If you are looking for a shorter summary of the entire book, please check the main article.
- Chapter Number: 23 (of 30)
- Page Numbers: 243-248
Chapter description
- A Gathering is taking place and ThunderClan and WindClan are already present. Tallstar and Bluestar, the leaders greet each other. Onewhisker, a friend of Fireheart bounds over to the ThunderClan cat, greeting him. Fireheart remembers the last time he saw the WindClan cat, when they were at the RiverClan border and Whiteclaw fell to his death. Onewhisker asks about Graystripe, as he is blamed for the RiverClan warrior's death. Fireheart says he is fine and points him out in the crowd. Fireheart asks about Morningflower and her kit. Onewhisker says the queen is happy to be back home and her kit is growing quickly. He comments the whole Clan is well, and he is glad to be eating rabbits again instead of rats. He states he hopes he never has to taste a rat again for as long as his lives.
- Fireheart detects RiverClan is coming, and ShadowClan too. He scans the ridge of the Fourtrees and spots RiverClan streaming in on their side and ShadowClan poised on their side. Onewhisker spots Nightstar poised with ShadowClan and mutters it is too cold to wait around. Fireheart nodded distractedly as he searches for Silverstream, since she and Graystripe are meeting in secret regularly. She follows Crookedstar down to the fourtrees as he greets warriors of the other Clans. Fireheart wonders if Graystripe would dare talk to Silverstream, but he is too busy talking to a WindClan warrior. He doesn't notice Deadfoot, the WindClan deputy approaching. The deformed tom greets Fireheart and asks how he is. Fireheart turns and says he is fine. Deadfoot nods and limps away.
- Onewhisker gives Fireheart a friendly nudge as he mentions he is privileged. Fireheart feels a glimmer of pride. Bluestar yowls for the Gathering to start, much to Fireheart's surprise as the leaders' don't usually start so soon. Nightstar and Crookedstar sit close as Tallstar and the other cats gather. Fireheart realizes that this is the first Gathering he has seen with WindClan attending. Fireheart and Onewhisker join the other Clans as they settle below the Great Rock. Bluestar surprisingly doesn't exchange friendly greetings but instead jumps to the matter very quickly.
- She accuses RiverClan of hunting on Sunningrocks, which currently belongs to ThunderClan. She claims ThunderClan patrols scented RiverClan many times there. Crookedstar reminds Bluestar about Whiteclaw's death, and Bluestar defends her warriors, reminding him that her warriors were doing on what they agreed on, bringing WindClan back to their territory. She says that the warrior code says they should not have been attacked. Crookedstar asks about the ThunderClan cat that is spying on RiverClan, and Bluestar is confused, asking if they know this warrior.
- Crookedstar admits they don't, but will soon. Fireheart glances at Graystripe, who is the one that leaves the scent as he often goes to see Silverstream, which is against the warrior code. He wonders if any RiverClan cat will recognize his scent but Graystripe just stares at the leaders, motionless. Tigerclaw, the ThunderClan deputy claims to have scented ShadowClan on ThunderClan territory too, the same patrol of cats. Nightstar claims they are the ShadowClan rogues, and have been stealing prey on ShadowClan territory too.
- Tigerclaw gives a disbelieving snort and Nightstar asks if he questions ShadowClan's word. The Clans murmur as Tigerclaw stares back with distrust. Tallstar speaks up, mentioning that his Clan has also scented these strange scents that seem to be from ShadowClan. Tigerclaw rants that RiverClan and ShadowClan have united against them. Crookedstar points out that it seems like ThunderClan and WindClan have made an alliance, since Bluestar was so certain to bring WindClan back. He asks if that's why she was so keen to bring them back. Crookedstar asks why they have unusual scents in all territories then. Tallstar claims they don't belong to WindClan, so must be those ShadowClan rogue cats. Bluestar murmurs those rogues would be a good excuse to invade, and stares at Nightstar and Crookedstar.
- As Nightstar arches his back and Crookedstar raises his hackles, Tigerclaw stalks to the Great Rock, and Fireheart wonders if the leaders will fight at this time of peace. Suddenly, a shadow falls over the Fourtrees, a cloud has covered the moon and completely smothered its light. Halftail, a ThunderClan elder shouts that StarClan has sent the darkness. Runningnose, the ShadowClan medicine cat wails that StarClan is angry as this meeting is supposed to be peaceful. Yellowfang, the ThunderClan medicine cat agrees with him, and states they shouldn't be fighting especially during leaf-bare. They should worry of keeping their Clans safe. Her meow echoes against the silence of Fourtrees as she says they must listen to StarClan.
- Nightstar is mistakenly called Nightpelt, even though he is a leader in this chapter.[3]

Canaries can begin pivotal period in perfect fashion
Norwich v Birmingham
Just three points separate Norwich and Birmingham in the Sky Bet Championship table but there could be a much bigger gap when the sides meet at Carrow Road.
Norwich have had a difficult time over the last three months but last Saturday's 3-1 victory at home to a strong Wolves side could be a turning point.
Beating a team who had won four of their last six games will have given the Canaries a major confidence boost and has also taken them back into the top ten – five points adrift of the playoff places.
There is still plenty of time for Norwich to make an impact on the promotion race but the next few weeks will be pivotal for their ambitions with six league matches to be played in 22 days. Four of those games are against teams currently in the bottom nine, so Norwich have a chance to put themselves in a strong position.
Birmingham are only eight points adrift of the top six but promotion talk has almost disappeared after a run of six league games without a win under Gianfranco Zola.
The promised new investment has arrived with Birmingham snapping up Craig Gardner on loan and Emilio Nsue, Kerim Frei and Cheick Keita on permanent deals. But it is tricky to integrate new players halfway through a season and the campaign already has a transitional feel with Zola looking to bed down his tactics and philosophy before 2017-18.
Birmingham may drop further down the table by the end of the season and could finish well below Norwich, who remain focused on the playoffs.
3pts 3-4 general
Bolton v Charlton
Bolton's home record of nine wins, three draws and two defeats has been crucial in establishing them in the thick of the Sky Bet League One promotion race and they look good things to see off injury-hit Charlton at the Macron Stadium.
The Trotters are still awaiting their first win of 2017 but they have played just two league matches – a 2-2 draw at Coventry and a 2-1 home defeat to Swindon.
They were below par in both of those contests but perhaps understandably so because they had their FA Cup matches against Crystal Palace to concentrate on.
They lost their third-round tie with the Eagles after a replay
at Selhurst Park but manager Phil Parkinson will have taken positives from his team's performance.
Bolton's match at Southend last weekend was postponed and the weather also put paid to Charlton's scheduled clash at home to Scunthorpe.
Charlton would have been missing four centre-backs against Scunny but Patrick Bauer's return to training on Thursday is a timely boost for the injury-stricken Addicks and he could be involved at Bolton.
However, star striker Josh Magennis remains sidelined and his absence will be keenly felt.
2pts 10-11 general
Mansfield v Leyton Orient
Mansfield crashed out of the EFL Trophy with a 2-1 loss at home to Wycombe on Tuesday but have taken ten points from their last four games in Sky Bet League Two and can strengthen their playoff push with a home win over lowly Leyton Orient.
Stags boss Steve Evans has brought in six players this month to boost Mansfield's promotion hopes and will be looking to add more new faces before the transfer window closes.
However, his team are already benefiting from greater competition for places.
Mansfield produced one of their best performances of the season to win 3-1 at promotion rivals Cambridge last Saturday are looking like a side destined to finish in the top seven.
Promotion was Leyton Orient's pre-season target but a poor campaign has left them fighting for their Football League status.
It is a scrap they are by no means certain to win and manager Andy Edwards will have to look for answers from within the squad as Italian owner Francesco Becchetti has suggested that the Os will not be delving into the transfer market.
Edwards's side have lost all three matches this year another defeat looks likely.
3pts 4-5 general
Stevenage v Grimsby
Grimsby are another of League Two's mid-table teams with high hopes of bursting out of the pack and clinching a playoff berth.
The Mariners have won four of their last six fixtures and have a good chance of posting another victory at Stevenage.
Reaching the playoffs was the aim for Stevenage a few weeks ago but they have lost five of their last six matches and will need to get their act together if they are not to be dragged into the relegation scrap.
Grimsby draw no bet
2pts 10-11 Betfred, Hills, Paddy Power

Scenes from the Life of Christ

In Storage
This is a diptych with scenes of the Life of Christ in ivory and a case with a lid in cut and punched leather. The Diptych is from France, Paris or North Italy, probably Milan, while the case with lid is from France.
Ivory was used all over Europe for religious works of art. It was often combined with precious metals and usually took the form of relief panels, for book covers, portable altars and caskets. An almost unbroken tradition of ivory carving extends from the Roman and Byzantine empires until the end of the 14th century. From about 1250, Paris became the centre of production for figures and reliefs intended for private devotion.
The wood case is decorated with the arms of Boucher d'Orsay on one side and Raguier on the other, and would therefore appear to refer to Bureau Boucher and Gillette Raguier, who married in 1414. Bureau Boucher (d. 1461) was Lord of Piscop and Orsay (Essonne), First Counsellor to Parliament (1414/15-17) and Counsellor to Charles VI, and held other high offices; Gillette Raguier (d. 1481), was the daughter of Remon Raguier, also a Lord of Orsay. A closely comparable case, with the arms of Philip the Bold of Burgundy (1363-1404) was made for an ivory Annunciation group, probably of 1400, now in the Musée d'Art et Histoire Guy-Baillet in Langres.
The devotional diptych is in many ways the object type most associated with the notion of Gothic ivory carving. The earliest examples probably date to the 1240s; these are complex, large and ambitious works that emerged, somewhat surprisingly, with no obvious precursors. The owners of ivory diptychs sometimes appear within their images. Such portraits indicate that they were special requests on the part of their commissioners, and they parallel the similar figures that appear in manuscripts and panel paintings of the period. The iconography of Gothic diptychs oscillated between two poles. The first of which is the desire to present narratives (Life of Christ and Virgin Mary) for envisaging. The second was the use of non-narrative images to form the focus of devotion.
Physical description
Each wing has a single large pierced ivory relief with six scenes under elaborate canopies. At the sides and in the middle are narrow upright compartments with individual figures of saints standing on pedestals within niches. On the left wing are the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Presentation in the Temple, the Flight into Egypt, the Death of the Virgin and the Glorification of the Virgin. The standing saints, all female, from top left to bottom right, are St Agnes, St Catherine, St Mary Magdalene, St Barbara, St Margaret, St Veronica, St Apollonia, St Agatha, and St Clare. On the right wing are the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and the Maries at the Sepulchre, Christ appearing to the Maries, the Flagellation and the Agony in the Garden; the standing saints, all male, from top left to bottom right, are St Lawrence, St Michael, St Nicasius, St Denis, St John the Baptist, St Stephan, St Louis, St Christopher and St Francis of Assisi.
The reliefs are unpainted but are set off with backgrounds of painted vellum in imitation of contemporary manuscript illuminations, consisting of lozenges and squares in gold, black, dark blue and red.

So first of all, that title, "Gratitude Planner", it's only because I needed something to title this post. I don't call my planner my gratitude planner and never did…I'm not that fancy…and I thought "a planner where I can stay organized and recount things to be grateful for each day" was a tad lengthy.
Back in October I started looking for my 2019 planner. I have been using a MochiThings planner over the last several years. They are simple and minimal in size and I can always find one that fits my needs for the coming year. So of course, I started browsing through their new 2019 planners to find my match.
I try to be honest about grief and since losing Everett I have struggled with gratefulness. Obviously I have much to be grateful for. I take a look around our life and there is goodness at every turn and fold, but grief has been incredibly hard and can easily snuff out the good some days. Not only did we lose our son, but we lost so much more and everyday into this journey reveals more and more of what we lost. This is really hard. It's hard to process and understand and it's really hard to find other people who understand as well, so we've spent a lot of time feeling very isolated and lonely over the past 18 months. All of these things combined together have made me feel a lot bitter and not so grateful.
In several books I have read on grief they specifically wrote about having to be extremely intentional about gratefulness because their sadness and loss was so powerful. I can totally see this in myself. When I started looking for a new planner I wanted two things:
1. A planner that showed each month at a glance
And 2. A planner that provided one page for each day, but wasn't ginormous in size
When I found my planner it was instant love. Like I knew we were meant to be together. It's been sold out for a while now and I've heard from others they've actually ordered theirs from out of the country and I was going to share my close contenders, but those are all sold out as well. So here's the deal, if you want to do this too you don't need the same planner I have. Heck, you don't even need a planner at all. Grab any old notebook and you're set. Simple and easy.
I'd also had my eye on the small HP Sprocket Printer for some time, but needed to right price. It prints photos directly from your phone in a small 2×3 size with a sticky back. I ended up using a Target coupon back in November, but Amazon has it for a great price now too.
Here was my game plan to combat my ever growing ass-hatness and work on refining my gratefulness:
In my new daily planner I would write down things I was grateful for every single day and print a photo from the day to join it. That's it.
For me, if I wanted to be grateful I needed to practice it. My new planner started in December so I started in December and set to creating a habit of gratitude. Every single day I print one…or two…small photos from our day and write out things I am grateful for. Sometimes I do this at night before I go to bed. Sometimes I do this right when a moment happens and I know I don't want to forget it like when I ran over a squirrel accidentally and the whole car went crazy and it ended up providing some much needed laughter thanks to Hudson and Solomon's quit wit. Before I even got out of my car I grabbed my planner and jotted the moment of gratefulness down. The picture doesn't always match what I'm grateful for because that seems kind of overwhelming, but I do take photos every single day, so I just pick one from our day and add it in.
I have successfully completed 2 months…December and January…and I can honestly say I can feel a difference. It's like my brain is being trained to notice even those tiny minute moments I can be grateful for. Some times my day is terrible…tears, anger, bad parenting, hateful acting parents and kids, the world must be ending kind of terrible and even on those days I can find something to be grateful for like leftover cake or clean underwear.
So there you have it my fancy pants gratitude planner. It's giving me all kinds of good life and I imagine it being something I'd grab if our house ever caught on fire.

Felix Doubront To Have Tommy John Surgery Apr.12, 2016
Doubront to have Tommy John surgery on Tuesday
You've already heard this news I'm sure and we all (at least I did) completely saw it coming. Felix Doubront, who was named the Oakland A's fifth starter in late March, couldn't even make it through his first exhibition game against the Giants.
The now-interim fifth starter (perhaps permanent, we don't know!) Eric Surkamp came into the game, pitching seven scoreless innings and helped the A's win that ballgame.
It was an exhibition game but to hold that San Francisco Giants' potent offense, keep them from scoring and secure an Athletics' victory over a despised rival is a pretty big deal.
This post is supposed to be around Doubront. If you'd like to know more about Surkamp just CLICK HERE to read my column on Today's Knuckleball.
Tim Collins, KC (TJ is coming this month, for his 2nd TJ Surgery)
Felix Doubront, OAK – Apr 12
Jairo Diaz, COL – Mar.18
Jarrod Parker, OAK – Mar.17 (TJ Watch List, would be his 3rd surgery)
Andrew McKirahan, ATL – Mar.10
Carter Capps, MIA – Mar.8
It was pretty obvious, the outcome off Felix Doubront's injury. He left the game with forearm soreness ( Tommy John surgery sign number one). He had an MRI (sign number two). Got the doctor's opinion and decided to seek a second opinion (sign number three and the nail in the coffin of the diagnosis of a torn ulnar collateral ligament and the inevitable, Tommy John surgery).

We met with Simon Constable and his marketing team in late 2016, and we quickly forged a friendly working relationship that would see us give them a fantastic new update of their site, showcasing their talented vets, their practice, and bringing their online marketing completely up-to-date.
All of Simon Constable's vets are passionate about horses. They won't be able to give you the winner of the 3.30 at Haydock Park nor can they ride like Charlotte Dujardin but they are experts on the best way to keep your horses healthy and treat any problems they may have. Each of the vets have specific interests within the equine world, from orthopaedics to dentistry, medicine to breeding and surgery to poor performance issues.

Outside my window is the last sparkle of ruby-throated hummingbirds darting in and out of my flame-colored honeysuckles. They are fueling up for fall migration, when they will travel from my house in Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico and on into Central America. There, they'll siesta until spring, when they'll sail back on winds to make the long trip north, once again appearing to sip nectar from my flowers and feeders.
For me, the hummers are just another part of my backyard's colorful kaleidoscope. For renowned theologian, pastor, and avid birdwatcher John R. W. Stott, however, hummingbirds — indeed, all birds — reveal something more. In the newly issued collector's edition of The Birds Our Teachers: Lessons from a Lifelong Birdwatcher (Baker), Stott finds myriad metaphors for our relationship with God and our faith in the wide world of birds. Call it orni-theology, if you will. Stott does.
From the Old Testament (think of Noah releasing the dove) to the New Testament (the sparrows in the parables of Jesus), the Bible abounds with aviary imagery. By taking another look at this imagery and helping us understand bird life better, Stott wants readers to gain a richer experience of what God might be saying to us through them. Stott fans who are not birders will enjoy this book for its accessible theological musings; birders who know nothing of theology will appreciate the lush photos and accounts of Stott's global birdwatching trips.
For his love of birds, Stott credits his father, who loved natural history, taking his son on walks in the countryside while telling him to "shut my mouth and open my eyes and ears" to observe the wildlife around him. In his 87 years, Stott has traveled extensively and birded wherever he's ...1

In what appears to be the worst 'Back to the Future' sequel yet, another election is heading toward a recount in Florida.
In what appears to be the worst 'Back to the Future' sequel yet, another election is heading toward a recount in Florida.
Oh my God! Mercy already! When has a recount ever worked out for Democrats when has making us wait for a couple more votes to be counted not been disappointing? Stop, the only people benefitting right now are news anchors who get to string us along for views until we've bled out all hope!Reply
Republicans only win when they cheatReply
Outside the US, our livers are suffering too!!!Reply
There will be a recount, and then, the Dems will concede because "the good of the country and keeping up appearances"…right, right?Reply
Republicans cheat to win. Massive voter suppression and vote rigging.Reply
long walk for the Grammar Nazi, but so worth it.Reply
Fuckin Florida man….*smh*Reply
I heard on good authority that Florida's laws were more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. I was also told I was welcome aboard the Black Pearl.Reply
Well Dam???????Reply
"just a grammar Nazi" – that was a good bit of business, Colbert writers.Reply

It is really difficult to survive in the chilly and cold temperature of Dublin that drops to even to extreme minus degrees in winter. Under such condition having a comfortable home which has enough heating is the only way, but again, there is a constraint in this as heating the home with heating devices makes it more costly. You have to pay higher electricity bills. So why not have an alternate way which is not only economically but also environmentally friendly. You can keep your home warm and comfortable via installing external wall insulation in Dublin. External wall insulation keeps your home warm as this will reduce the heat lost via the fabric of the building which is used in insulation and in this way you can get a comfortable and warm home.
Wall insulation in Dublin also provides a series of other benefits, apart from this, they make the walls of the building moulds free which generally occur on the surface of the building.
If you are looking for a trustworthy company who works meticulously to provide you the wall insulation solutions then you can rely on NF Plastering. This company has acquired a cult status in the wall insulation bandwagon as provided only quality insulation services.

The victim was working normally and got a reading from his detector which the investigators believe must have been from a fragment beyond the mine (they considered the mine undetectable with a Schiebel AN/19 detector). He marked the reading and while prodding towards it detonated the mine at 08:15. The victim received "superficial injuries on his right hand, forearm, fingers and neck".

The German Intelligence Agency (BND) is increasingly concerned about Islamist tendencies in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Berliner Zeitung daily newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing sources from the intelligence community. The agency is allegedly also turning its attention to the whole of the volatile Balkan region.
According to Tuesday's report, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are investing a lot of money to push a much stricter, Wahhabist teaching of Sunni Islam in the Bosnian society. Saudi charities also poured funds into building places of worship, including the King Fahd Mosque in Sarajevo, the biggest mosque in the Balkans, which is dominated by Wahhabis.
