From the Metasonix website....
The Metasonix KV-100 is not called the "Assblaster" for nothing. We've taken all of our knowledge of extreme vacuum-tube audio processing and combined it into a single convenient, easy-to-use package. Inevitably, the end of the TM series will cause shit-eating, ass-fisting guitar players to whine about how "underappreciated" they are. So, we're feeding them a foot-long fecal sandwich of audio penis.
It's complete with disgusting and juvenile cartoon art by Dave Lovelace, of Retarded Animal Babies fame.
The KV-100 contains the following:
--five goddamn real new-old-stock VACUUM TUBES.
--the basic preamp stage of our TM-7 Scrotum Smasher, driving:
--the waveshaping (pulser) and ring modulation functions of our TM-1, minus the ring-modulator carrier oscillator, which then drives;
--a VCO derived from our TM-3 (it is NOT intended for use as a synthesizer pitch source, only as a special effect for signal degradation), leading to;
--an all-new wide-sweeping bandpass filter, with envelope filter function plus wah capability (external pedal);
--plus an envelope follower, which also makes a gate signal;
--and a noise gate on the output, which is always active and is driven by said gate signal.
Plus relay-based true bypass for the main circuit, plus relay controlled activation of the VCO and pulser. Controllable with manual switches or external Fender-type amp footswitches.
Plus plenty of processing inputs and outputs for control voltages. No MIDI, dammit.
Only 8 knobs allow for vast ranges of distortion and effects, from subtle to flaming-enema. It's for those filthy, nutsack-sucking guitarists. Because they deserve, and love, flaming enemas.
Yes, you can plug your damn guitar into it, Yes, you can plug line-level sources into it. Yes you can run the output to a guitar amp or any mixer. Yes, all the inputs and outputs are compatible with modular synthesizers.
No, it's not sorta-kinda-like a Line 6 anything. No, it's not a tube-man version of a Digi-Tech or Boss any-damn-thing. No, for the ten-millionth time, it won't make you play like Steve Vai, ass-sucker. I'm getting really sick of feeding sarcasm to the geeks who own 40 bootleg Korn albums and read Guitar World with their lips moving. (They say things like "Dude, I bought them off a guy in the public toilet, he said they wuz real!") There's so many of them, and they are so brainless, I could type anything here and they'd never know or understand. One would think that after our TX-1 Agonizer, TX-2 Butt Probe, and TM-7 Scrotum Smasher, they would know better than to ask stupid questions. Feel free to gnaw the crust off my taint, Tiny Worm Guitar Dude. Jeff Beck is dead, and you're a fairy boy wearing pink satin panties and a matching bra. Your mother's penis is bigger than yours. And your father is a duckbill platypus. Have a nice day, scroad.
Specifications: Audio input accepts unbalanced guitar, microphone or line signals. Output 600 ohms unbalanced. 1/4" jacks for all I/O. Extra inputs: carrier audio input for ring modulator, CV inputs for VCO pitch and filter sweep. Extra outputs: envelope CV out, VCO waveform out, pulser waveform out. Frequency response: yes. Distortion: yee-haw. Filter sweep range: 12 kHz. Enclosed in rugged, moisture-resistant ABS utility box with hinged lid, carrying handle and latch. Size with lid closed 12.25"x7.4"x6.5" (314mmx186mmx168mm), weight (minus AC adapter) approx 2 lbs (1.4 kg). Power: 12 volts AC, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 amps. Uses Jameco 167151 AC adapter for power in 120v countries. Power inlet: 2.1mm coaxial jack.

Parents with designer buggies costing £1,000 or more are being targeted by thieves.
Greater Manchester has emerged as a hotspot for the new crime – with hundreds of 'posh pushchairs' stolen since 2009.
Experts believe a new breed of expensive big-name buggy – including iCandy, Silver Cross and Bugaboo – has proved irresistible to thieves.
An average of three prams and pushchairs were stolen across Britain every day last year – a rise of one-quarter on 2011.
Greater Manchester alone has had 500 such thefts since 2009, making it one of the worst-affected areas in the country.
A poll carried out by the insurance company LV, showed 340,000 parents – or one in 14 - claim to have had a buggy stolen. But only 42pc reported the incident to the police.
Most buggies are stolen from just outside the owner's home, with nearly one quarter going missing from a porch or other outbuilding.
One fifth were stolen from parks and 15pc were taken from cafes, restaurants and pubs.
One in 10 said their buggy was stolen while it was in their car.
Mums out shopping in Hale and Atrincham said it was a big worry knowing that thieves were now targeting buggies.
Laura Ball, 34, paid £1,100 for an iCandy buggy for her four-month-old daughter Myla.
She said: "I'd always wanted the iCandy buggy so was happy to pay for it when the time came. But it's quite worrying to hear about all these thefts.
"It's not an obvious thing you think thieves would go for. But I never let it out of my sight because Myla is always in it and as long as they don't take her that's the only thing that matters to me.
"But I'll definitely be a bit more cautious form now on."
Tina Bolton, 44, from Timperley, shelled out more than £1,000 on a Bugaboo pram for daughter Isabella, 10 months. But as she got bigger she has now downgraded to a Maclaren model which cost her £300.
She said: "I was very surprised at first to hear so many were being stolen. But when you think of how much they cost, it isn't so much of a surprise.
"You can make a lot of money selling them on sites like eBay, but it's sad to think people would stoop that low."
School teacher Kate Percival, 31, also from Timperley, paid £600 for her Mammas and Papas chair for three-month-old son Charlie.
She said: "It's a real worry. It's difficult because a lot of cafes and places like that won't let you take buggies in, so you have to leave them outside.
"But I'll definitely be keeping a closer eye on mine from now. I'll probably stop leaving it in the porch at home as well so it's not permanently on display."
Sally Cheshire, 29, has an Uppababy which cost her £600. She said: "A lot of people have told to me to take better care of it. And I definitely will do – a, pushchair is a vital thing if you're a parent so to have it stolen would be a massive blow."
John O'Roarke, managing director of LV home insurance said: "Baby buggies have soared in value in recent years with some designer models costing as much as a small car.
"This, combined with the fact that they can easily be sold on to cash-strapped parents has effectively fuelled a 'black market'.
"It is easy to forget about your valuables when minding a small child but parents need to take care that they don't fall victim to opportunistic thieves and ensure they have the correct insurance in place to cover them should the worst happen."

Atheists have an obligation to educate those of theism in order to create a more rational community for all to live in.
I would like to talk about the preamble my opponent made before their assertion. I too have seen the television pictures, online media and paper based commentary that I image powers my opponent into a position of "standing up and being counted". It is certainly an undesirable state of affairs. You may think I am understating things by using the word undesirable however, this, I will justify at the end of the debate or sooner if necessary.
(https://en.wikipedia.org...)Irreligion: (adjective form: non-religious or irreligious) is the absence, indifference, rejection of, or hostility towards religion. When characterized as the rejection of religious belief, it encompasses atheism, agnosticism, religious dissidence, and secular humanism.
(https://en.wikipedia.org...)Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist.
"Atheists have an obligation to educate those of theism in order to create a more rational community for all to live in. " - the argument
"Atheists have an obligation " - from the argument
Many atheists hold that atheism is a more parsimonious world-view than theism and therefore that the burden of proof lies not on the atheist to disprove the existence of God but on the theist to provide a rationale for theism. Parsimonious in this case also refers to Occam's razor: The principle can be interpreted as stating 'Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected'.
Therefore there is no obligation imposed by atheism.
The answer to the question "Should Atheist argue against theism?" is NO from many practising atheists.
Having established there is no imposed obligation, there is no longer any "Should Atheist" in the question.
That leaves "argue against theism?" - from the question.
On what ground have we left to argue from. The only ground left belongs to theism, so this requires the understanding of theism itself before constructive argument can be made. Non-constructive argument is very dangerous as it is often perceived as plain and straight forward arguing.
I think from a religious point of view atheist"s believe in the absence/non-existence of their deities. Christianity is arguably diminishing in western culture due in part to its prolonged coexistence with allegedly more rational communities.
"educate those of theism" - from the argument
What education are you referring to? The fact that you mentioned theism clearly implies that the eduction would take place at a religious level. An atheist has only one statement that applies at a religious level and that is denial of the fundamental foundation of Theism. It is unlikely that this denial would be received as educational.
Why not leave the remaining religious communities prolong coexistence with allegedly more rational communities? They may just fade away as all thing must in time.
"in order to create a more rational community for all to live in" - from the argument
We no longer need "in order to" it is not necessary with the beginning of the sentence chopped off.
Which leaves "create a more rational community for all to live in", this is a good credo to live by but is no longer a supporting argument.
Having noticed the common practice of your argumentative style allow me to re-adjust how I would normally rationally argue as a courtesy and to avoid a hefty degree of monotony.
Surely while my sentences are in half they can be negated as not sentences at all and then be ignored all together as irrational, but this argument is not working towards 'what I meant to say' that is quite clear, instead I might recommend that you focus on a laps in the morality (if any exist) within my statements. That out of the way please allow me to rebuttal.
As my words "Educate those of theism" may apply, I quite literally mean - to teach them what they did not previously know. Rationally I do feel comfortable with the claim that those who do believe in a god are unaware of their own inconsistencies in the natural universe works physically. This being said surely it would be beneficial to teach those who are willing to learn about how this universe works.
Indeed constructive criticism will be used, it would be ridiculous to think something as flawed as an ad-hominem attack would generate as I clearly said that goal to be a world in which people can depend on rational thinking.
I can only say of your argument that when you said "Many atheists hold that"..."The answer to the question "Should Atheist argue against theism?" is NO from many practising atheists.". has no actually weight because of what is called the bandwagon logical fallacy. To summarize it is that more than one person may be incorrect at any given moment.
To your proposition of leaving them alone I can confidently say that this is a problematic solution. They have been left alone for a large majority of history with a lot of power to minimize the harms of what their religion can do to society, this is true. I needlessly will mention the crusades of Jerusalem, or the massive accumulation of wealth possessed by the pope coming from people who are barely able to feed themselves, these things are direct results of religious influence and they have only ever hampered society. Now we are faced with another holy war where those of faith and not of faith are being decapitated in the name of faith. It does seem like a fair assumption that without religion, the world would be a safer place currently.
This in mind should we be expected to and is it morally correct to stand by when the answer to the gaping question "How can we end all of this suffering" is as easy as a conversation?
My largest concern is that religion steps on people autonomy - ones ability to make their own rational decisions - by treating people as though they ought to be afraid of the big man in the sky. It is not right to tell people that they should not live their lives as they as humans desire, of course under the implications of rational and just laws granted, but with a brain full of science and real knowledge rather than fear and abuse.
I say it is still our duty to educate those of theism because if we do not, they are a danger to us all.
Pro - This is a debate, not a platform for personal views.
Readers / Voters: So far there has been a complete lack of substantiated argument Pro. A debate is characterised by the very fact it contains substantiated argument.
Pro - I have looked at your profile and realised you are also a new member, a student and while you do not say your gender, you are happy to tell me you are interested in Women (A very masculine response).
Readers / Voters: Rather than bore you or myself continuing a debate against lazy un-substantiated rhetoric, I would like to leave a thought.
If every person worked to increase the "good" around them instead of working for money would we all starve?

I'm wondering, could you form your comment(s) into a debatable question? If you can you will be able to challenge every Atheist on this site to prove you wrong.
A contest would like to be involved in so please be sure to let me know, thank you.

Mobile is becoming the integrated platform to get almost everything done today. And retailers are very aware of this fact. A lot of know- how, reports and miscellaneous facts exist online and offline about mobile platforms.
This knowledge is now becoming a healthy return on investment for many businesses. Consumers are now using mobile devices to shop, exchange ideas and create personal histories. Ecommerce websites and etailers are cashing in on this deluge.
It is not just a passing fad though; it is a way of life. According to forecasts, worldwide business-to-consumer e-commerce spending increased by 20 percent in 2014, reaching $1.5 trillion in sales. Ecommerce has clearly outpaced many other industries today. It has in fact become a medium for most industries to increase their customer base.
Mobile commerce is, for most intents and purposes, user centric. It focuses on the consumer. Everything from aesthetics to ease of use that you might wish for, as the consumer you get it! In fact, after taking years to build an online presence, retailers are only now beginning to cash in on all that hard work.
This map is based on numbers in 2013. (Source)
Consumers are visiting mobile/online shops to buy everything from groceries to high end fashion. And they are doing this without any qualms about fabric, color, quality, etc. Today's major retailers and brands have created their identities over years of toil and trust building exercises. Ecommerce and mobile commerce is mainly remarkable because of the ease with which brand images and trust in them is created.
Another powerful force for retailers today, is omni-channel marketing. Retailers are able to market their goods and services on various platforms, online and offline, that enable them to successfully sell their goods or services.
But all of this pales in comparison to the major reason for the success of ecommerce and mobile as a medium. Personalization. Retailers are able to decide and 'categorize' their customers accurately. They are also able to show and sell at the right time, simply because the web gives them the freedom to pinpoint what their consumers are interested in.
This personalization is the main reason that the gap between visits and conversions, online and offline, is narrowing. It is not difficult to visualize a scenario where a consumer simply needs a product, for say a wedding, and his or her social media analysis helps etailers realize the same. They end up giving discounts, positioning the right kind of pop up ads and generally peppering said consumer with visual and aural sensors to get him/her to buy what they need.
At IntelligenceNODE, we provide you with insights that turn visits or interest into conversions and clicks!

Balancing the Books
(July-August 2010)
As we all know the recent General Election led to the formation of a coalition between two of the three main political parties in the United Kingdom, the first since the Second World War. It remains to be seen how long this agreement will last, particularly when it was entered into more out of convenience than conviction. Such is often the way in politics.
The greatest task facing the new Government is the economy. We have been told repeatedly that our country's finances are in a parlous state and must be sorted out. The solution will not be easy or painless but if things are not put right then we are headed for disaster.
There is an obvious parallel between our national situation and our individual lives as they are lived out before the face of God. We would do well to consider this.
Firstly we have all contracted a massive debt to God. It is from God that we have our being for "he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things" (Acts 17:25). He has been good to every one of us, providing for our needs and showing us kindness and forbearance. In return we owe Him perfect obedience in worship and service. Yet what have we done with our lives?
We have surely dishonoured God in every way. We have broken His laws and perhaps denied His very existence. Even when outwardly we have done what the Lord requires we have not sought His glory but our own. Each of us has a multitude of sins which are all on record and a mountain of guilt which needs to be removed, as the Psalmist was only too aware: "If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?" (Psa.130:3). Yet we quite unable to pay off our debt!
Secondly we are all running a huge deficit before God. We not only have a bad record but also a bad heart. The carnal or unregenerate mind we inherited from Adam is "enmity against God" and is not subject to His law (Rom.8:7). This means that each day, in thought, word and deed, we "add sin to sin" (Isa.30:1). We cannot do otherwise.
Many are hoping that in the long run their good deeds will outweigh their bad deeds. They accept that they have done wrong in the past and are resolved to do better in the future. They have now added religion to their lifestyle. Yet we all 'spend' more by our sin than we 'earn' by our uprightness for there is in reality "none righteous, no, not one" and "none that doeth good, no, not one" (Rom.3:10,12). We are bankrupt!
Finally we are all facing a fearful destruction from God. What will a holy and righteous God do to sinners? We are not left in any doubt when w e turn to the Bible. There will be "indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil" (Rom.2:8,9). We shall be "punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord" (2Thess.1:9), suffering eternally in hell because of our sins.
Praise God, there is a way to balance the books! It is not by our own doing but through the sinner's glorious Substitute, the Lord Jesus Christ. By His obedience in life and death He has provided a full salvation for all who repent of their sins and believe on His name. In Christ our spiritual debt is cancelled, our deficit made up and our destruction averted. All by His grace! Be sure that you do not ignore this the only remedy for sin.

Want to something totally FUN? Why not book a powder paint session? This can be done with the whole family on-location or can be booked in studio as an alternative to Cake Smash, if your child is turning one!
How much is the session?
The shoot ... It is just £40.00 for the shoot, which is payable when you book, to reserve your slot. This price includes the powder & one 5 by 7 print.
Buying prints ... After your shoot, I'll then edit a gallery of photos for you to choose from and you can order from my standard price list.
What is a Colour-Fun shoot all about?
For Groups / Families: I will meet you at an agreed location, then the fun begins! Like an on-location photoshoot, we can take some nice photos of you to start with, then we use packets of coloured dye to create some seriously colour-fun photos! You can run, chase and throw the powder all over each other - in fact, it will look like you've been to your very own multi-coloured festival! I will supply several packets of coloured dye for the shoot.
For your baby: If we do this an alternative to cake-smash, when your little one is approaching their first birthday, the shoot will last around 45 mins to an hour. I do the sitting in 3 stages. I Firstly do some birthday inspired photos then Ill bring the powders out and we pop them down in front of your baby for him or her to touch and feel and cover themselves in! Afterwards, I bring the bath-tub out and fill it with a little bit of warm water & some bubbles, to clean them off and to take some cute bath-time photos too, to complete your session. The whole sequence of events makes for an adorable batch of photos. Your baby can rock three outfits during this shoot. One outfit for their birthday style photos, which won't get dirty, then one for the powder bit, which will get a little messy. I recommend just shorts or a tutu so their skin is on display! They can then rock a cute swim wear set or bath cap at the end too. Bring a towel and baby wipes for them for afterwards and old clothes for you because you may get covered in coloured powder too! Warning: This type of shoot is NOT for the faint hearted! It is very messy! Be prepared! It helps if your baby is used to getting dirty. Let them play with flour or sand or something with a similar texture to get them used to the feeling of having this substances on their hands and skin.
Is the powder safe?
This powder is completely safe and non-toxic; However, with any fine powder, it is recommended you protect eyes and avoid inhaling excessive quantities while using it. Throwing powders are a lot of fun, but should ALWAYS be used responsibly.
Will it wash off my skin?
Yes, with a bit of soap and water the colour will wash from hair and skin - don't worry if it doesn't come out straight away. In cases of heavy powdering, you may experience some temporary colouration of hair and skin. Repeat washing may be necessary.
Will it stain clothing?
The dye I supply may stain clothes. Choose your clothes for the shoot carefully! I recommend old jeans and a plain white t shirt or vest
Is it environmentally friendly or bio-degradable?
The powder I supply is almost entirely food grade raw materials so there will be minimal impact on the environment.

23rd GST Council Meeting Updates: Tax Rate Cut On Over 170 Items
The 23rd meeting of the GST Council is being held in Guwahati today.
The GST Council at its 23rd meeting today decided to cut the 28 per cent GST tax rate on a wide range of mass consumption items to 18 per cent, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said. He is attending the 23rd meeting of GST Council today in Guwahati. The GST Council decided to keep the list of items attracting the top 28 per cent tax rate to just 50, from 227 previously, Mr Modi told reporters on the sidelines of the GST Council meeting. This means that the GST Council has effectively cut tax rate on 177 goods.
He said all types of chewing gum, chocolates, preparation for facial make-up, shaving and after-shave items, shampoo, deodorants, washing powder detergent and granite and marble will attract lower 18 per cent tax rate.
"There were 227 items in the 28 per cent slab. The fitment committee had recommended that it should be pruned to 62 items. But the GST Council has further pruned 12 more items," Mr Modi said.
"Paints and cement have been retained in the 28 per cent tax bracket, he said. "Luxury goods like washing machines and air conditioners have been retained at 28 per cent."
"We've limited the number of items in the 28 percent tax list to 50 items," said Mr Modi, adding the move could cost the exchequer around Rs. 20,000 crore this fiscal year.
At its 23rd meeting today, the GST Council could also decide on lowering of tax rates food served in restaurants. The GST Council is also expected to offer more relief to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in terms of compliance burden.
A panel, headed by Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has suggested doing away with the tax rate distinction between AC and non-AC restaurants not covered under composition scheme. It has proposed a uniform tax rate of 12 per cent. Currently, GST is levied at 12 per cent on non-AC restaurants, while it is 18 per cent for air-conditioned ones.
The panel headed by Assam Finance Minister had also suggested that eating out at hotels that have room tariff of more than Rs. 7,500 should attract a uniform 18 per cent rate instead of any separate category for 5-star hotel, which currently falls under the 28 per cent bracket.
The panel also recommended lowering tax rates for manufacturers and restaurants under the composition scheme to 1 per cent. At present, while manufacturers pay GST at 2 per cent, the rate for restaurants is 5 per cent. Traders currently pay 1 per cent.
Businesses with annual turnover up to Rs. 1 crore can opt for the composition scheme, which enables them to pay tax at a flat rate without input credits. The objective of the optional composition scheme is to bring simplicity and reduce the compliance cost for the small businesses.
To ease compliance burden for small businesses, the GST Council is also going to review the requirement of filing three returns every month under the GST set-up.
The GST Council has been meeting every month since the new indirect tax regime was introduced on July 1, 2017. The GST Council, which comprises of representatives of all states, has already rationalised tax rates for over 100 items. Under GST, various goods and services have been placed in the brackets of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent.
Meanwhile, the GST Network today said businesses can now make changes to the forms uploaded on the portal to claim transition credit. "The facility to revise Form GST TRAN-1 declaration has been introduced on the GST Portal for taxpayers who had already filed it prior to November 9, 2017," GSTN said in a statement.

Pioneering plastics
The blueprint for a 'unique' lightweight commuter bicycle presented a major challenge to a specialist injection-moulding firm.
A new slant on the lightweight commuter bicycle has been developed by a UK company using injection-moulded, glass fibre reinforced plastic parts.
Although the design of the bicycle is based on a frame manufactured from magnesium, a specially formulated nylon filled with long glass fibres is used for crucial mechanical parts like the rear suspension unit. The expertise to injection mould this lightweight yet strong material, which is 60 per cent glass, was provided by UK-based Protomold.
For the Shropshire company it was a challenging project. According to John Tumelty, managing director of Protomold, it wasn't that the moulding process was unusual, it was the materials they were using. The company's senior engineers had never previously worked with a material incorporating such high glass content. For this reason, the engineering team was uncertain how well the material would flow and pervade the cavity within the injection-moulding tool.
"With the GoCycle parts we were really pushing the boundaries of what is possible with plastic, and therefore the materials specified were, in the main, exotic thermoplastics," explains Tumelty.
"A very dominant material in the range is 60 per cent long-fibre glass-filled nylon, which is pretty extreme in terms of the glass content, coupled with the fact that it's long fibre. During the moulding process, those fibres have a tendency to align with flow direction. The way the fibres are aligned affects the mechanical properties of the end part," he adds.
Working closely with Karbon Kinetics, the bike's UK designer, Protomold scrutinised CAD geometry of all the components that required moulding. The information was entered into Protomold's inhouse flow analysis software, Protoflow, so that a visual prognosis of the injection moulding process could be established.
The company's engineering team then tested different location points for where the plastic enters the cavity (known as gates), and analysed the various pressure and temperature conditions required to achieve successful component moulding. At the end of the project Protomold had developed a total of 47 individual injection-moulding tools, which were used to manufacture the required parts.
"It was quite entertaining," says Tumelty of the work. "Our mould technicians here have hundreds and hundreds of years experience between them yet hadn't worked on anything like this, so it was interesting work.
"We knew we had incredibly short lead times, which also added to the challenge. On a simple, run-of-the-mill plastic part we can turn that around in 24 hours, but with the GoCycle components we had identified that we were going to have engineering challenges ahead. With that in mind, we pulled out all the stops so that we had more time in the mould shop to experiment and play with the moulding parameters.
"We took the viewpoint that there was a solution there, and we had to find it. We couldn't read about it in a book because no one had done it before. So we worked faster in the run-up stages, to create time to find the solution," Tumelty says.
The engineers feel they have learnt a lot from working with this plastic's features and also on a product that's pushed boundaries of its own in regards to its propulsion system, hub-based electric motor and lightweight magnesium frame.
"Various parts, from the suspension system to the sprockets, are made out of plastic in a variety of different odd grades," says Tumelty. "The employees have not only been able to learn about the different plastics, but been able to see their effort come to something new in the marketplace."
Aesthetically pleasing
On top of achieving mechanical properties, the engineers also had cosmetic requirements to achieve. Alongside GoCycle's durability ethos, it was also intended to be fashionable and lustrous. With this in mind, the majority of parts feature a shiny black specification, meaning Protomold engineers had to determine the precise velocity at which to inject the material into the cavity to ensure consistency of colour.
"As with most things, the more mechanical property-orientated a material becomes, often the less aesthetically pleasing it becomes," says Tumelty. "Glass fibres can have a tendency to show up on the surface of a moulded part, which on a black plastic will give a silvering effect. In layman's terms, you're looking at the black plastic through a fibrous glass layer. Obviously that's not very attractive.
"There's also quite a lot of effort and experimentation that went into the parameters of moulding the part in order to not only attain the required mechanical properties, but also to get the cosmetics to an acceptable level."
Protomold says it enjoys a challenge and has found, as a company, that it is working in the more extreme end of the marketplace, with components going into vastly different end products from Euro fighters through to desktop calculators.
"We're all engineers, and engineers like the challenge of achieving something that's not been done before and coming up with new concepts and ways of gating and thinking about things differently," says Tumelty.
"We've been able to apply our work with GoCycle to other customers who've come up with other bizarre materials. One thing that's surprised me slightly since starting Protomould is the sheer number of different plastics that we're asked to mould. We've got 800 different resins on stock now, and it's growing every day. People generally aren't prototyping a simple component out of [the thermoplastic] ABS [acrylonitrile butadiene styrene]".
Protomold has learnt a lot from working on the GoCycle project, and has benefited greatly from the challenge it has overcome. The company now has moulding parts in place for further manufacturing runs for the bike, and also has the knowledge to provide 'exotic' services to other consumers with specific, unusual demands.
"The reason they want to make a prototype moulding is because they don't quite understand how the material is going to behave or how their product is going to behave. Customers often have some extreme requirement that forces us to push the boundaries.
"Plastic technology and the material science behind plastic is evolving constantly. Very high temperature plastics are available now and our challenge is adapting them and making them mouldable through aluminium tools on a high-speed basis - exactly what we've geared our company up to do."

Libraries: frequently asked questions-
Libraries are new in Windows 7. Here are answers to some common questions about libraries.
Show contentHide content What is a library?
Libraries are where you go to manage your documents, music, pictures, and other files. You can browse your files the same way you would in a folder, or you can view your files arranged by properties like date, type, and author.
In some ways, a library is similar to a folder. For example, when you open a library, you'll see one or more files. However, unlike a folder, a library gathers files that are stored in several locations. This is a subtle, but important, difference. Libraries don't actually store your items. They monitor folders that contain your items, and let you access and arrange the items in different ways. For instance, if you have music files in folders on your hard disk and on an external drive, you can access all of your music files at once using the Music library.
Show contentHide content How do I create or change a library?
Windows has four default libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. You can also create new libraries. For more information, see Create a new library.
Here are some ways you can modify an existing library:
Include or remove a folder. Libraries gather content from included folders, or library locations. You can include up to 50 folders in one library. For more information, see Include folders in a library.
Change the default save location. The default save location determines where an item is stored when it's copied, moved, or saved to the library. For more information, see Customize a library.
Change the type of file a library is optimized for. Each library can be optimized for a certain file type (such as music or pictures). Optimizing a library for a certain file type changes the available options for arranging your files. For more information, see Customize a library.
Show contentHide content What happens if I delete a library or the items in a library?
If you delete a library, the library itself is moved to the Recycle Bin. The files and folders that were accessible in the library are stored elsewhere and therefore aren't deleted. If you accidentally delete one of the four default libraries (Documents, Music, Pictures, or Videos), you can restore it to its original state in the navigation pane by right-clicking Libraries and then clicking Restore default libraries.
If you delete files or folders from within a library, they're also deleted from their original locations. If you want to remove an item from a library but not delete it from the location it's stored in, you should remove the folder containing the item. When you remove a folder from a library, all the items in the folder will be removed (but not deleted). For more information, see Include folders in a library.
Similarly, if you include a folder in a library and then delete the folder from its original location, the folder is no longer accessible in the library.
Show contentHide content Why can't I search or arrange files from a folder that I recently included in a library?
If a folder from a non-indexed location (such as an external hard drive or a network) was recently included in a library and it contains a large number of files, it might take some time for the library to add those files to the index. During the indexing process, searches and file arrangements might appear incomplete. For more information about indexing, see Improve Windows searches using the index: frequently asked questions.
Show contentHide content What types of locations are supported in libraries?
You can include folders in a library from many different locations, such as your computer's C drive, an external hard drive, or a network.
Where is the folder stored?
Can it be included in a library?
On your C drive
On an external hard drive
Yes, but the content won't be available if the drive is disconnected.
On an additional hard disk inside your computer
On a USB flash drive
Only if the device appears in the navigation pane, under Computer, in the Hard Disk Drives section. This is set by the device manufacturer, and in some cases, it can be changed. Contact your manufacturer for more information.
The content won't be available if the drive is disconnected.
On removable media (such as a CD or DVD)
On a network
Yes, as long as the network location is indexed, or the folder has been made available offline. (See the question below.)
On a different computer in your homegroup
Yes. For more information, search Windows Help and Support for "Add computers to a homegroup."
Only folders can be included in libraries. Other items on your computer (such as saved searches and search connectors) can't be included.
Show contentHide content Why did I get a message saying that a location can't be included because it's not indexed?
It means that the folder is stored on a network location that hasn't been indexed. A network folder can only be included in a library if the content of the folder has been added to the search index. If the folder is already indexed on the device where it's stored, you should be able to include it directly in the library.
If the network folder is not indexed, an easy way to index it is to make the folder available offline. This will create offline versions of the files in the folder and add these files to the search index on your computer. After you make a folder available offline, you can include it in a library.
When you make a network folder available offline, copies of all the files in that folder will be stored on your computer's hard disk. Take this into consideration if the network folder contains a large number of files.
To make a folder available offline
While connected to the network, locate the network folder that you want to make available offline.
Right-click the folder, and then click Always available offline.
Picture of the Always available offline commandThe Always available offline command
If you don't see the Always available offline command in the right-click menu for a network folder, you might be using an edition of Windows 7 that doesn't support offline files.
If the network folder you're trying to include is stored on a computer that's running an older version of Windows, you might be able to make it compatible with Windows 7 libraries by installing Windows Search 4.0 on the computer, and then indexing it. For more information about Windows Search 4.0, see the Windows Search website.

Not sure about your question when you say "on the left".
Here is a pic of my Explorer tree.
I save everything directly to the D drive.
You don't see "libraries" there. I think most people see "homegroup" and "network" also, but I got rid of them also. It's been 3 or 4 years since I set it up that way.

Libraries are just shortcuts to other folders, so your Documents library is a shortcut pointing to C:\Users\<username>\Documents. You don't have to use libraries to access Documents as you can use the folder path instead. I use an SSD so have moved my Documents, Pictures etc folders to my hard disk so the path is now D:\Documents etc. I can use that path or I could add that folder to my Documents library. Either will work.

I think it's a matter of personal preference. Personally I keep the standard Windows libraries but mainly use the Documents (My Documents & Public Documents) for Word, Excel, Powerpoint type files. When it comes to my photos and any videos I do essentially what ignatzatsonic does. These tend to be large file collections and I store them (not as a library) on other (non OS) internal HDDs and external HDDs. A good reason for doing this is that I don't want enormous system images.
|My System Specs

You say all of your docs are on G.
You could save and open directly from the G drive if you desire.
I assume you can find your G drive in your folder tree?
PCs have been around for 30 years or so. "Libraries" were introduced just in the last few years (with Vista? Or was it Windows 7?).
They are optional. Use 'em if it helps you out. Don't if they don't.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I stopped using Libraries shortly after Windows 7 was released, so it's been a while, but here's what I remember.
1. I hated the way various programs automatically look into Libraries for their data collections. A truly egregious one is WMP and by extension WMC. There was an endless Music Library rebuilding bug in the early days of Windows 7, and I have no use for those programs as music players anyway. They represented yet another of the many Microsoft processes that endlessly grind the hard drive, and WMP further has the propensity to dump crappy album art into music folders before you can disable that horrible behavior. Worst of all, Microsoft married these programs to Libraries, so there was no way to avoid the bad behavior except to nuke the libraries. I do use WMC for CableCard DVR purposes, and that's all I use it for. There are far better alternatives to Microsoft for everything else multimedia.
2. If you enter a subfolder of a Library via the Library and change its sort order, the sort order of every folder in that Library changes as well. That is so NOT what I want to happen. I want independent settings for my folders, and I get that when I don't use Libraries. I just verified it for the Documents Library vs. the Document folder, so it's a bizarre dumbening design choice that persists to this day. ISTR there were other view anomalies similar to this.
The upshot is, if a program seriously depends on Windows Libraries, it's a dealbreaker for me. Their only value IMO is providing a semi-coherent approach to private and public folders, but even that's something I don't use anymore. I just share specific folders that I want to share, which is plenty good enough for me, and it's simpler conceptually.

The Most Fuel Efficient Crossovers on the Market Today
One of the reasons that crossover SUVs have supplanted full-size truck-based SUVs in many American households is their fuel economy. As gas prices show no signs of ever dropping, fuel efficiency has become a high-priority for just about everyone. The more miles per gallon your vehicle gets, the less you spend at the pump, and the less CO2 emissions you throw into the atmosphere. But we can't all drive hybrids subcompacts – and that's where crossovers come in. Here's a list of the most fuel efficient crossovers currently available:
- The Toyota RAV4 EV: There just aren't any vehicles that can beat the RAV4 EV – unfortunately, unless you live in California, you can't buy one either. If you are so lucky as to track down one of the few that were made, you'll see a combined 76 mpg equivalent rating.
- The Lexus RX 450h: This premium crossover is the best performing hybrid with a 30 mpg combined rating from the EPA. It's also a powerful, refined, and luxurious choice, that, if you can afford it, will easily meet just about anyone's needs.
- The Nissan Juke: The Juke is small, and it makes no bones about it. While the small size may restrict cargo capacity somewhat it also helps the turbocharged four-cylinder Juke to yield 29 mpg combined.
- The Mazda CX-5: This crossover uses the Mazda SkyActiv direct injection engine to achieve an impressive 29 mpg combined. It's a well balanced blend of style, performance, and comfort.
- The Toyota Highland Hybrid: The Highlander is a big vehicle, with seating for seven, but with a hybrid powertrain, it yields fuel economy numbers that put smaller traditional SUVs to shame: 28 mpg combined.
- The Subaru XV Crosstrek: This distinctive SUV clocks in at 28 mpg, but for what it's worth, that's an estimate with all-wheel drive. Many vehicles on this list get their best fuel economy with only front wheel drive. A hybrid version of the XV Crosstrek is slated for 2014 release, so look out for that.
- The Ford Escape: When equipped with the EcoBoost turbocharged 1.6L engine this crossover yields 28 mpg combined.
- The Buick Encore: Another American choice, this compact crossover also gets 28 mpg combined.
- The BMW X1: The BMW X1 is the smallest SUV available from the German maker, and clocks in at 28 mpg combined.
- The Mini Cooper Paceman: This little crossover also has BMW genes. It yields 27 mpg combined in the most fuel efficient version.
The Best Cars For Big Families
If you have a big family you know that trying to pack everyone into an inappropriate vehicle is a nightmare. Here are a few vehicles that can make everything from the trip to the grocery store to the cross-country tour that much easier for you and your brood!
- The Honda Odyssey: With smart features like easily folding seats, available vacuum cleaner, a fuel efficient 3.5L V6, and plenty of space for you, your family, and your luggage, the Odyssey is an easy choice. It's far from the least expensive minivan on the market, however.
- The Toyota Sienna: Toyota's minivan costs a bit less than Odyssey, but packs almost the same amount of comfort, convenience, and efficiency. Some standard features include leather seats, and plenty of storage.
- The Toyota Highland Hybrid: With a fantastic fuel economy rating of 28 mpg combined based on EPA estimates, it's hard to imagine a more economical vehicle for large families than this three row crossover.
- The Lincoln MKT: This upscale crossover gives you three rows of seating and a long list of standard features, along with something that most family haulers can't boast: style.
- The Chevrolet Suburban: This long running truck-based SUV is ideal for those who really do need a ton of space and many many tons of towing capacity. The Suburban can also tackle some off-road terrain if necessary and can seat up to nine with available bench seats.
- The Mazda Mazda5: This mini-minivan is perfect for families of up to six. It's more maneuverable and more fuel efficient than many full-size minivans, but offers plenty of space inside!
- The Dodge Durango: The old Durango was a rugged, truck-based SUV, but the new model is a smooth riding, easy to drive, comfortable crossover, with three rows of seating.
- The Infiniti QX56: This luxury SUV comes packed with high-tech features, including available preventative safety features like adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, and collision warning systems. If safety is your first priority look out for these features.
- The Chevrolet Traverse: This three row crossover should be on every large family's list. It offers convenient features like remote start and a parking aid standard.
- The Nissan Pathfinder: Much like the Durango and the Highlander, the Pathfinder has made the jump to a crossover format from its old truck-based setup. Nissan nailed the execution and the current Pathfinder is a comfortable, spacious, and stylish three row crossover.
Chevy Suburban vs. Ford Expedition
The full-size SUV market has dwindled recently, as many drivers have switched over to the smoother ride of crossover utility vehicles. However, for the driver who still needs to carry a lot of cargo while still having plenty of room for a large family, the full-size SUV still makes a lot of sense. There aren't a lot of these models left on the market, but both Ford and Chevy still manufacture the best you can find. Let's take a look at how the 2014 Chevy Suburban compares to the 2014 Ford Expedition.
Full-size SUVs are never cheap, but the Ford Expedition comes with the lower starting price than the Suburban. A new Expedition has an MSRP of $39,075 while the Suburban is priced at $45,065. The question then is it worth it to pay more for the Suburban? Let's see exactly what you'll be getting.
Power and Capacity
If you're looking for a work horse, then this is probably the most important category. Both engines come with a V8; Chevy's 5.3L is capable of 320 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque while Ford's 5.4L has an output of 310 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque. That extra torque translates to a larger towing capacity: the Expedition can tow up to 9200 pounds while the Suburban can do 8100 pounds.
Before you discount the Suburban though, it does spoil you with choice. Both vehicles are Flex Fuel compatible, but the Suburban is more fuel efficient. It's rated at 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway (one better than the Expedition in both categories) and its gas tank holds three more gallons of gas, meaning fewer trips to the pump. The Suburban can also hold more cargo: 137.4 cubic feet vs. 108.3 cubic feet. That may make a big difference to some people.
Vehicle Features
That extra $6000 in the price tag does count for something as base Suburban models do offer a lot more features than the standard Expedition. You get Bluetooth, navigation, satellite radio, better seat materials, remote ignition, a rearview camera, and more. All of those are either optional or unavailable on the standard Expedition. If you're very interested in features, then the Suburban may be the better buy.

|David Cook: A Letter To Wamp On School Of The Americas
Rep. Wamp,
First, let me thank you for the work you have done for the people not only in Chattanooga but throughout America. To help you help them further, allow me to introduce you to a man named Oscar Romero.
Oscar Romero was the archbishop of El Salvador in the 1960s and 1970s. On an early morning in 1975, the El Salvadoran National Guard stormed his village, using governmental machetes to butcher and kill his parishioners. The government claimed the Guard was punishing communist rebels; Romero knew instead they to be the poor peasants taking communion from him each week, and suffering daily under the heels of tremendous economic inequality and governmental abuse.
In their death, Romero saw the death of Christ.
At this time, he was supported by the Council of Latin American Bishops, who in 1968, had declared that God indeed had a preference, and His preference was for the poor of the earth.
"At the last judgment we shall all be judged according to the treatment we have given Christ, Christ in the person of those who are hungry, thirsty, dirty, sick, and oppressed,'' writes Dom Helder Camara, the deceased archbishop of Brazil who once called upon his fellow Catholic bishops to sell away all their gold ornaments to help the poor.
God's "preferential option for the poor'' gave revolutionary hope to the millions of ditch-poor folks in central America, yet immediately put bishops like Romero, and Camara, at enemy-odds against the established power, namely the government.
The story is a sad one. Throughout central America, totalitarian governments have been the enemy of freedom, the enemy of poor people, the enemy of God. Dictators, assassins, death squads and paramilitary groups all waged acts of terrorism against their own people. Against this, Romero fought his holy war, using the weapons of his Christ-God: forgiving his enemies, feeding the poor, speaking truth to power even as pamphlets were distributed throughout San Salvador saying, "Be patriotic. Kill a priest.''
The pamphlets proved to be prophetic; in 1980, as Romero was leading a funeral, breaking the bread of the sacred body of the communal Christ, assassins entered his church and shot Romero dead. As his blood poured onto the altar, and as some believe, into the communion wine, his reported last words were Christ-like: "May God have mercy on the assassins.''
It is these assassins that I ask you to consider today.
For the last five decades, the US government has funded, sponsored, financed and operated an organization called The School of the Americas. Situated in Fort Benning, Georgia, the School of the Americas (now known as Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation) is the premier training facility in the Americas, as Latin American dictators, rulers and paramilitary groups send their men to SOA to receive instruction on torture, execution, assassinations and fear-based terrorism.
"Over its 59 years, the SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics,'' writes School of the Americas Watch, the leading opposition to SOA/WHINSEC. ''These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people. Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, "disappeared," massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins.''
From Bolivia to Colombia to El Salvador to Uruguay, SOA graduates have become the messengers of death to the poor, the widowed, the priests, the children of Latin America. Were we to line up the dead and decapitated outside the SOA gates, the bodies of those whose murderers once walked its halls, the line of death would stretch and stretch and stretch longer than one could imagine.
In 1989, SOA graduates murdered six Jesuit priests, a woman working alongside them, and her teenage daughter. Within months, a group called School of the Americas Watch formed in Georgia with the single goal of working to shut down the SOA/WHINSEC.
Seventeen years later, the movement to shut down the SOA/WHINSEC has reached tremendous, international attention. Beginning Wednesday, thousands of Americans will participate in a three-day fast and call to action, drawing the world's attention to the histories of the SOA/WHINSEC and the things we can do to stop it.
Currently in the House of Representatives is Bill HR 1707 (sponsored by Jim McGovern with 72 original co-sponsors) which would suspend any and all US governmental funding of the SOA/WHINSEC and also investigate its maddeningly long list of human rights violations. This bill is available immediately for your co-sponsorship, and will soon reach the voting floor.
Your vote and co-sponsorship in favor of this bill will show your solidarity with the poor and oppressed people of the Americas; those whom the SOA graduates assassinate, rape, torture, threaten and murder are eerily similar to the same folks that Christ himself associated with: the poor, the widowed, the radical priests, the oppressed, the outcast, the dissidents.
I ask you today to cast your vote, your whole vote, in their favor. To do otherwise is to continue to support an exportation of violence that allows totalitarian governments to do what they do best: suffocate freedom from their people through terrorism.
As an example, when SOA/WHINSEC students in Georgia practice simulations with empty bullets, the village priest, played by the US Army chaplain, is often either killed or abused.
As an example, SOA graduates were responsible for the military violence, freedom-less dictatorships and terror reigns in Bolivia and Chile, Argentina and Guatemala, Uruguay and Colombia, the last of which has sent more troops to SOA than any other Latin American country (perhaps because the US is its biggest investor).
As an example, SOA graduates elected into the school's "Hall of Fame'' include Hugo Banzer, the Bolivian whose strategy was to "silence'' the church by assassinating its leaders; he also hosted Nazi warm criminals and participated in drug trafficking.
Before his death, Oscar Romero wrote then-president Jimmy Carter, whose administration funneled millions of dollars to El Salvador, which in turned promised death to Romero's beloved poor.
"You say that you are a Christian,'' Romero wrote to President Carter. "If you are really Christian, please stop sending military aid to the military here, because they only use it to kill my people.''
And so my open letter to you ends in the same way.

Doctor told me that i would start ovulating about 5-7 days afte i got it out. I am trying to get pregnant. What signs should i be looking for?
How long does it take to have a period after implanon removal?

Responses (1)
Your doctor was right in stating that you should start ovulating fairly quickly. This is what I found in the professional monograph
Return to Ovulation
In clinical trials with Implanon, the etonogestrel levels in blood decreased below sensitivity of the assay by one week after removal of the implant. In addition, pregnancies were observed to occur as early as 7 to 14 days after removal. Therefore, a woman should re-start contraception immediately after removal of the implant if continued contraceptive protection is desired.
If it takes a week or two to ovulate, it may be 4 to 6 weeks before your first missed period.
If you're looking for physical symptoms of pregnancy, look for tender/sore breasts, this is usually the first thing a woman notices different before finding out she is pregnant. Good luck to you!

What do you See: Searching
How many times have you found yourself searching the night sky? What were you looking for? Did you find it?
Did you see a glimmer of hope that gave you the strength to endure a little longer? Or, do constantly search the sky for a silver lining.
Questions, questions, questions?
The real questions are, "Where does your faith lie? In whom do you trust? Dreams keep us going and hope encourages us to never give up."
If we are not careful, we will always find ourselves waiting and longing for something that's not meant to be while missing out on what is.
Hugs and love from me to you! Valarie
What Do You See?
Life doesn't always have to be colorful to be beautiful!
Lonely People
It's said that some of the loneliest people are in a room full of people but no-one can see their emptiness inside. They feel like they are on a road with no-one and no help in sight.
They smile and laugh but inside they're crying out for help. Maybe the obstacles they are facing require more strength then they have or, the burden is too heavy for them to bear.
When discouragement and depression comes they can become vulnerable to suicide. Not because they want to die but because they can't see any other options.
The tunnel becomes real as it offers a light of hope that they can escape the pain and torment. The light promises a new beginning someplace else or at least the end of suffering.
Lonely people can be anyone at any time in any stage of life. Reach out to those you see in need. Take the time to listen to their heart because you may not ever get another chance. Don't brush aside their concerns because it seems insignificant to you.
Remember, we are all unique. What you can handle, I may not be able to. What you easily brush off may feel like a heavy weight to me. What may seem like no big deal to you is everything to me!
Love is real and powerful. Show more love in your words and actions to those around you starting today. Listen to someone ramblings; you just might help to save their life.
Hugs and Love from me to you! Valarie
A New Day!
Good Morning,
Today is a day of new beginnings, unlimited possibilities and renewed hope. If yesterday was not what you hoped it would be, see today as a fresh start and press your way through. Remember, not everyone wants you to fail!
Hugs and love from me to you! Valarie
Life & Personal Growth
As I look at life, my life in particular I find myself wondering about the choices I've made and the paths I chosen or wandered on. There have been great times, good times, bad times and times I wish I could do over. When moments like that happens, I feel empty, happy, sad, wonderful, perplexed, content, blue and overjoyed. This emotion kept and keeps me on my toes. Once they used to rule me until I realized that my life experiences both good and bad has shaped my present and shaping my future.
The person I am today is because of what I've gone through. The wisdom I've gained, the love I've shared, disappointments and rejections I've felt over the years has molded me into who I am today. My imperfect life both my failures and successes has strengthened my faith and grounded me in reality.
Through the pain, I've found joy. In the midst of my trials and setbacks, I've developed determination, stamina and faith to keep going until I break though. All these things and many more have ultimately cultivated compassion, patience, understanding and love within me towards others and myself.
I wouldn't trade all that I've gained so far because the lessons were priceless. Perhaps if I could change parts of my life I would. However, since that's not an option. I now appreciate my life for what it is and always have been a blessing, even in the midst of despair and self-doubt. There is wisdom in learning from the lessons in our lives that will help us in our present and future success, happiness, victories and most important how to truly love.
Dreams of Success
Imagine having your dreams come true. What would it feel like? Would you be content or continue to dream of new things bigger and better? Most likely, you would continue to dream of more things. It's just like life, when you finally receive those things you've dreamed about to make your life complete, you start wanting more.
Why stop! Dreams keep you reaching, expanding and even growing but at what price. When do your dreams become enough? How do you stay out of greed and not become selfish or high minded for what you have or have achieved.
When your dreams start crushing, smothering or pushing others aside, it's time to re-evaluate them or the method you are using to reach them. Your dreams should never include using someone else as a stepladder or springboard.
Don't just dream of being rich and successful, dream of being happy and fulfilled, desire to be rich in spirit, health and love in every area of your life. When you have these things, money will never be your driving force just another means of enjoying life, something to think about.

A little while I ago I blogged about what I would tell 10 year old me. I wrote that blog based on what us older folk often say to ourselves; If I knew then what I know now…Something that maybe you have said to yourself?
The other question I often ask myself is, did our parents never pass this kind of stuff on to us? Or are our memories so distorted with all the shouting of, "No you can't do that!" blot it all out? Did we just switch off? Maybe it was because they had us when they were young and therefore didn't know the wisdom till we were old enough to learn for ourselves?
Well, on with the blog. These are not in any order. Just stuff I would go back and tell 10 year old me. By the way, here are the other 5 Things I Would Tell 10 Year Old Me from the original post.
1) Look for the Good in the World
The mind is a funny and most powerful instrument and what you focus on you will see more of. So focus on finding the good stuff in life and the world and that's what you will see showing up in your life.
When I say the mind is funny, I mean it in this way. What we focus more on tends to end up representing our belief system. And the mind actively seeks evidence to support that belief.
If for example I believe all bosses in the employment world are just out to use and abuse their employees, that's exactly what I will find. Not only that, my mind will seek evidence to prove my belief (That all bosses are out to use and abuse me) to me over and over again.
And here's the real bone cruncher: The mind will also IGNORE all evidence that is contrary or opposite to that belief. Always seek out the good in the world and the best in others.
2) Take Responsibility for Your Own Results in Life
Responsibility seems to be dwindling in people young Robert. Nothing is anyones fault anymore. "John did X because he is suffering Y", "Mary did A because of what happened to her at B" and on and on the list goes.
So many times I hear, "It's not my fault" or "It was my partners fault, the governments fault, my teachers fault, my parents fault, the economies fault" and dozen more reasons. This is down to a lack of personal responsibility.
It can also be labeled if you like, under 'excuses' too. Here are some more you will hear that shun personal responsibility;
"I was born in the wrong year" "I'm a gemini that's why I am always late" "The Feng Shui of my home is all haywire, that's why I lost my job" and other such nonsense.
Society as a whole seems to be finding "reasons" for all kinds of actions (Or is this what I have been drawn into focusing on?) so we can all say, "Ahh, that's why they did it. So it wasn't their fault"
Take responsibility. You and you alone are responsible for your results in life whether they are good, outstanding and not so good.
For every action you take there will be consequences. For decisions you make there will be consequences. The great thing is by looking at life like this it puts you in control of your own destiny. Go and make yours awesome.
3) Not Everyone is Going to Like You
You have to accept this. A big human desire or rather need is to be liked. Unfortunately, that's not the way it works so get used to it. Some people will like you, others will despise you, some will love you, some won't care a hoot about you.
Think about it logically for a moment. If you try and change to get the people who don't like you, to like you, guess what happens? The people who used to love you now don't like you.
You see it doesn't matter how you act, who you are, what you do, what you look like, there will always be somebody, somewhere who doesn't like you. And with a population of 7 billion plus, that number could be very large indeed.
What matters is what you think of yourself. How much you love you (Without being overly egotistical about it)
4) Forgive Others (Thanks to my friend from afar, Emma Schonenberg from El Salvador, who commented on my original post for suggesting this)
Older me rarely gets hurt or even offended by the actions of others, so I rarely have to forgive anyone anymore.. But your ten year old mind is not quite ready to receive that information so the next best thing I can tell you is, forgive everyone who hurts or offends you.
Now this is not for their benefit nor is it saying what they did was ok. No, you forgive others for your own soul. Unresolved past issues are the major cause of alcoholism and regular hard drug use. A lot of times this is down to past hurts (Some horrific I admit) not being forgiven.
But I know without doubt that anything can be released and overcome with forgiveness.
And not only that, but everyone deserves a second chance. Sometimes as many chances as possible if they are genuinely trying to improve.
Forgive yourself too for any errors you may make. And move on. No point carrying them around with you.
5) Give it a Shot
There is an old saying that the graveyard is full of unknown talented people. Now I am not implying that you need to be famous here because you don't have to be famous to be outstanding.
What I am saying is, whatever talents you have, unleash them. Push them as far as you can. Give them a shot. The point is not whether you succeed or don't. The point is in the knowing you gave it your best shot.
You'll never regret the things you tried, but you will regret not trying them. If you are good at singing for example and it is something you want to pursue, give it your best shot. Do whatever you can to push that talent and share it with others.
(And you know what? By doing that you will more than likely fulfil your dreams)
At least when the hourglass of time calls you, you will be able to say you gave it your best shot. There will be no haunting, 'if only's' in your later years.
