Corserv provides the following programs:
Direct Issuer
Targeted at larger Financial Institutions (FIs) with an existing or commitment to a card program of at least $100M in loans, the Direct Issuer program enables the FI to be the sponsor bank with Visa or Mastercard, and provides technology and subject matter expertise tailored to the FIs business model to realize maximum control & self reliance. The Direct Issuer program seeks to maximize returns & program control for FIs enabling them to offer their own branded card to consumers and businesses while owning the fee income and net interest margin on loans, and doing some/all of their own servicing. Learn more about the Direct Issuer Program.
Account Issuer
Enables FIs to offer their own branded card to consumers and businesses and to own the interchange, fee income, the loans, and the net interest margin on loans but with a shared bank partner to support Network sponsorship, risk, compliance, and servicing functions. The financial institutions review/approve applications that do not reach an automated approval decision. Learn more about the Account Issuer Program.
Community Issuer
A better version of an Agent Bank program with a shared bank partner to support Network sponsorship, risk, compliance, and servicing functions, BUT lets Financial Institutions offer their own branded card to consumers and businesses while realizing a % of loan interest from loans that they guarantee, a fee for each customer account they originate, and a % of associated volume. Financial Institutions have the option to control their credit card issuing relationships and own the loans at the end of the contract term by either migrating to Corserv's Account Issuer Program or converting to another provider.

This contact will be direct between stations NA1SS and NM5BB. It should be audible to anyone in the American southwest and Mexico area listening in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants will conduct the conversation in English. Pinon Elementary School is one of two elementary schools in the small town of White Rock, New Mexico. It is a comfortably sized school of 350-400 students from preschool through sixth grade. The student body includes many out-of-district students. The school buildings were built around 1965 on a large plot of land over 21 acres in size. The school is also fortunate to be less than ten miles from Bandelier National Park and near the San Ildefonso Pueblo and other pueblos. Please note, the amateur equipment on the ISS will be turned off prior to the beginning of the contact. It will be returned to service as quickly as possible. Students will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. Do you think going to another planet would, in the long, be beneficial, or could we get the same information from rovers or probes. 2. What types of power does the space station use? 3. How did the Columbia shuttle disaster affect you as an astronaut, and the program as a whole? 4. Explain the logistics of the space shuttle. How do you get on it, how do you move around, how big is the living area? 5. Can you see natural disaster or other phenomenon from the space station? 6. How much training and what kind do you have to complete before being able to go up into space? 7. What do you eat on the space station? How is food kept stored and preserved? 8. Have you seen any space activity, like shooting stars, up close, and do they look different than on Earth? 9. Can you describe what the pressure is like leaving the Earth's atmosphere? 10. Do you communicate on a regular basis with other countries, and which ones? To what degree are other countries involved in the space station? 11. What types of experiments do you conduct on the station, and which are the most important in your opinion? 12. What types of problems have been encountered on the space station, and how have you solved them? 13. How do you keep yourself physically fit and prepared to return to Earth? 14. How long did it take for you to adjust to zero gravity? 15. How does zero gravity affect your daily routine, like eating sleeping, going to the bathroom, and writing? 16. How long are space missions on a space shuttle, and on the space station? 17. What was your first day and night in space like? 18. Are we any closer to having a colony in space than we were 10 years ago and why? 19. How long did it take to get from Earth to the space station, and did you go straight there? 20. Have any other animals besides humans been in the space station? Do you have any with you now? Are any involved with the experiments? ARISS is an international educational outreach program with US participation from NASA, AMSAT (The Amateur Satellite Radio Corp.), and the American Radio Relay League. ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities experience, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further information on the ARISS programme is available on the website http://www.rac.ca/ariss.

St. Joseph's 65, Virginia Commonwealth 61
St. Joseph's Rises Above V.C.U. to Take A-10 Title
Minutes before the Atlantic 10 tournament final at Barclays Center on Sunday, Virginia Commonwealth students began chanting, "This is our house." Daryus Quarles, the senior forward for St. Joseph's, shook his head in disagreement.
The chants were understandable. Second-seeded V.C.U. (26-8) had the most vocal fans throughout the tournament. V.C.U. had played seven games at Barclays since last March, prompting its followers to call it "Siegel Center North" after the team's home court in Richmond, Va.
But it was Quarles who was proved right, as St. Joseph's (24-9) used its height advantage to defeat V.C.U., 65-61, and win its first Atlantic 10 tournament since 1997.
"I just knew how much we've been through as a team," Quarles said after the game, wearing a A-10 champions hat. "I just felt like we wouldn't be denied today. I just kind of reacted like this is our game and the outcome showed."
Langston Galloway connected on five 3-pointers and led the Hawks with 19 points. The tournament's most valuable player, Halil Kanacevic (11 points and 14 rebounds), and Ronald Roberts Jr. (15 points, 11 rebounds) added double-doubles against a Rams lineup that did not start a true center.
"He's very, very versatile," V.C.U. Coach Shaka Smart said of the 6-foot-8 Kanacevic's rebounding and playmaking, which helped the Hawks overcome the Rams' full-court trap.
Smart and St. Joseph's Coach Phil Martelli said they were proud of the league's performance this week, which included ninth-seeded St. Bonaventure's victory over top-seeded St. Louis on Friday.
After the Hawks, the No. 4 seed, claimed the conference's automatic bid, Martelli began his postgame news conference by saying that the A-10 was "one of the top five leagues in America." On Saturday, Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski had told reporters that the competition in the A-10 did not compare with that of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Tensions between the conferences arose during the week when reports surfaced that the A.C.C. wanted to move its tournament in three years to Barclays Center, where the A-10 has an agreement through 2017.
"I hear people saying there are six teams in there," Krzyzewski said of the A-10. "Come on. I mean, they're good, but put them in our conference and go through the meat grinder that our conference has to go through."
Asked about Krzyzewski's comments, Martelli sarcastically said: "I'm not familiar with whom you're referring to. Who's the guy?"
He then added, "If we were playing their schedules, we would have different players because we would have greater recruiting advantages."
Regardless, Martelli said, the A-10 had plenty to celebrate with the N.C.A.A. tournament ready to begin. St. Joseph's is the No. 10 seed in the East Regional and will meet the No. 7 seed Connecticut on Thursday.

Here are ways that parents, guardians or even grandparents can teach money-management skills to youngsters.
Help children open their first bank accounts. Discuss how to comparison-shop by looking at key aspects, such as the minimum balance requirements and the interest rate, expressed as the Annual Percentage Yield (APY), at several local financial institutions, suggested Lekeshia Frasure, Acting Chief of the FDIC's Outreach and Program Development Section. "Then guide your child in selecting and opening the right account for his or her needs," she said.
Many banks offer special savings accounts for students with features that may include a low minimum-balance requirement and certain fees waived.
Encourage young people to save money for future goals. Explain the importance of setting money aside for short-term and long-term goals. For a young adult or teen, short-term savings can include money for fun, such as concert tickets, as well as "emergency" savings for unforeseen expenses including car repairs. Suggest that your child put at least 10 percent of any gifts, allowance or earnings into savings, and consider making your own matching contributions as an incentive.
Consider giving an allowance…even to a young adult. The best systems encourage youngsters to decide in advance how much they should put into savings (which reinforces the concept of "pay yourself first," before they are tempted to spend the money), how much should go into the spending pile and how much should be set aside to share with others (for charity, birthdays or holiday gifts).
"An allowance can be one of the best ways to teach children about money management and the trade-offs we face in life, especially if you don't give them more money if they run out of their allowance early," said Irma Matias, an FDIC Community Affairs Specialist. Likewise, once your child is old enough, encourage him or her to get a part-time or summer job.
Try to set a good example with your own money management. For instance, keep track of your debit card, ATM and other account transactions, and discuss with your child why doing so will help you track your current balance and avoid costly overdraft fees.
Help your kids develop a healthy skepticism of unsolicited offers and inquiries. Young consumers are among the victims of scams and rip-offs, and even babies are targets for identity thieves wanting to use personal information to commit fraud. Information for parents on protecting children's personal information from identity theft is at the Federal Trade Commission's Web page on children's privacy (www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data/child.shtm).
Talk with young people about money. "Use any opportunity to engage in a conversation about financial choices and decisions," said Luke W. Reynolds, Acting Associate Director of the FDIC's Division of Depositor and Consumer Protection. "For example, teach children how to critically analyze ads because special offers often are not the great deal they appear to be."

Wind Sweep sound effect for dance/dubstep music???
Wed, 10/02/2013 - 00:00
Does anyone know how to create like a sweep noise for dance music? its used in dance songs before a drop. it sounds like air that keeps getting louder and louder...please help
Thu, 10/03/2013 - 00:10#1
Use the "Noise" waveform in Eden (either on both oscillators or in sync mode), tune to taste, and then use a long Saw Up for your LFO shape OR set your ADSR params to slow attack, medium decay, long sustain, short release; this creates a rising bandpass effect (which is basically what you're after if I'm not mistaken.)
Thu, 10/03/2013 - 16:47#2
It worked!! thanks so much! :D
Thu, 02/20/2014 - 11:27#3

Fog Lights are for fog!
Unfortunately the majority of people who do this are under the misguided impression that they look cool? Simply put YOU DO NOT LOOK COOL! In fact you look like a total dipstick! Also, the vast majority of said offenders do so when it is dark & wet on the roads thus doubling the effect whilst angering other road users.
Granted front fog lights do have a low beam but they are not angled away from oncoming traffic & they reflect of road surfaces straight into oncoming traffic, especially when wet. More importantly they highlight the road directly in front of your vehicle which actually reduces long distance visibility by contracting your pupils…. Rather like having your interior courtesy light on. Is this the next thing? Driving round with courtesy lights on?
Please Please stop this as you are dazzling & irritating other road users!
If all sensible
drivers start to flash drivers with fog lights on when it's not
neccesary then
eventually they might just get the message? It's worth a go at least.... flash them.... flash them all!!!!
The excerpts to the right are taken from the current highway code & the RVLR "Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations" 1989

The Rules!
226 You MUST
use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when
you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use
front or rear fog lights but you
MUST switch them off when
visibility improves (see Rule 236)
[Law RVLR regs 25 & 27]
236 You
use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced
(see Rule 226) as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your
brake lights. You
switch them off when visibility improves.
[Law RVLR regs 25 & 27]
The Law: The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989:
Reg 27. No person shall use, or cause or permit to be used, on a
road any vehicle on which any lamp, hazard warning signal device or
warning beacon of a type specified in an item in column 2 of the
Table below is used in a manner specified in that item in column 3:
Front fog lamp
(a) Used so as to cause undue
dazzle or discomfort to other

(b) Used so as to be lit at any

And Won't Be Annualising Non-Sports Titles Any Time Soon
Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has suggested that the company may be a little hesitant when it comes to the possibility of moving their stable of mature titles onto Nintendo's upcoming new home console.
"We haven't announced anything," said Zelnick regarding that matter. "I'm skeptical."
He did go on to say, though, that new console launches did represent an opportunity for publishers, and that he fully expects Take-Two to come up smelling of roses.
"For a company like ours, it's a great opportunity," he said. "[New console launches] separate the winners from the losers -- and we fully expect to be one of the winners."
For Zelnick, Take-Two firmly tick all four of the important boxes that he feels publishers require to be a success in such circumstances - "owned intellectual property, top-tier technology, top-tier development talent and a strong balance sheet".
"I don't want to minimize the challenge of creating titles for new technology or the economic challenges of doing that, but if you get it right, it's a terrific time to launch a new IP," he said.
Zelnick suggested that he's looking to build a portfolio of "permanent IP" at Take -Two, and is cautious about overexposing his company's flagship products, saying that there's no desire to annualise the publisher's non-sports titles because that runs the risk of burn out.
"I don't aim to annualize our non-sports titles because I think you run the risk of burning out the consumer -- even if its very high quality [product]," he continued. "Some of our competitors have had this trajectory where they extract a lot of value and the IP goes away. We're trying really hard to build permanent IP. And if you have to rest the title for a few years, over time you'll extract more value. ... We're not trying to create something good and market the hell out of it. We're trying to delight customers with something great -- and market hell out of it."
It's a strategy that has helped lift the company out of crisis in the last five years, though Zelnick knows that the work is not finished yet and that there's still some way to go to make the system perfect.
"We haven't optimized our system – our slippage last year tells you we haven't - but we've made a lot of progress," he said. "When I showed up here five years ago, THQ's market capitalization was four times that of Take-Two. Ubi's was twice Take-Two. EA's was 25 time Take-Two's. To say the very least, that's not remotely the way the world works today. Would I like to apply a little more rigor to our art? Of course I would! Look at me, I'm a suit! But I have an excitement for what our team can do." [Gamasutra]

Overview: Lee Creek Reservoir is made up of three loops and one out and back trail, Cemetery Loop, Crack in the Rock Loop, Homestead Loop and the Dam Overlook Trail. The Cemetery Loop so named because of the old grave sites it encircles. From what I understand these are graves of soldiers who fought a battle here during the Civil War, not sure how true that is but I remember reading it somewhere. The trail starts off with a little bit of a climb that might put a few folks off their bikes. The climb is well worth the effort once you get to the top, there the trail runs along some bluffs with a great view of the lake and the gully below. After that it is pretty smooth ridding with not too much in elevation change. The trail down off the ridge is pretty fast and short and not very technical at all.
The Crack in the Rock Loop starts at a creek bank and then runs along the edge of the creek bank. There is one spot where the creek opens up into what looks like a really nice swimming hole. A little ways after this swimming hole you come to a very steep, rocky and brutal climb that will put a lot of riders to foot. Once at the top this trail meanders on the edge of a bluff for a ways and is a little tricky in spots. You eventually come to the name sake for this trail a huge rock with a rather large crack running through it. After that trail winds through the woods with a few technical areas. It will eventually bring you back down an old dirt road back to the creek where you started.
The Homestead Loop is by far the biggest of the loops out here. Head straight up the old dirt road until you come to a trail near the top of the hill and to your right, here you jump on half of the loop and follow it back down to the bottom where you started. This little section of this loop has some really fast and fun downhill on it. There is one section where you come to a bluff with a very sharp turn so be careful, it would be very easy to overshoot this turn and wind up in the creek about 40 feet below. Once at the bottom ride back up the dirt road and just past where you turned right there is another trail going to the left, this section is a little longer than the previous section. Most of this section is pretty nice and not too difficult. There are a few scenic areas and a little bit of a ridge ride. One place in particular to watch out for is a very steep and rough descent down a hill, you will need to get way back off the saddle for this one. Once at the bottom of this hill there is a tree there that looks like a horse's head sticking out of the trunk of the tree. There is a little bit more climbing on a ridge after this and some riding near the lake but other than that it is all pretty gentle.
The Dam Overlook trail head is just before you get to the parking lot on the left as you are driving in. It starts out in a rolling field and eventually goes into some woods. There are a few technical places and a little bluff riding but for the most part it is an easy trail and the scenic overview at the end is pretty awesome.
I personally really like this trail and I don't know why more people don't ride it. It is a little technical in places but it is still a really fun trail to ride. I did forget to mention that the trail leading up from the wooden steps at the start is very rough with lots of big roots crisscrossing the trail.
Recommended Route: Stay straight at first Y and do Cemetery CCW. Go back to Y and turn right, come to creek and follow trail near creek, do not cross creek yet this is the Crack in the Rock Loop going CW. Back at creek, cross creek and go straight up old dirt road, take trail to right near top this is half of Homestead Loop. Back at creek take same road again back to near the top and take trail to left this is the other half of Homestead Loop and will bring you right back to the creek where you started.
Rating: The Cemetery Loop would probably be alright for novice riders once they get past the climb.The other two loops I would recommend for advanced beginners and up. The Dam Overlook Trail would probably be okay for most people.

Arkansas Trail Rules
Ride Open Trails: Respect trail and road closures — ask a land manager for clarification if you are uncertain about the status of a trail.
Leave No Trace: Be sensitive to the dirt beneath you. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to damage than dry ones. Don't cut switchbacks. Be sure to pack out at least as much as you pack in.
Control Your Bicycle: Inattention for even a moment could put yourself and others at risk. Obey all bicycle speed regulations and recommendations, and ride within your limits.
Yield Appropriately: Riders yeild to foot and horse traffic. Riders traveling downhill should yeild to ones headed uphill, unless signed for oneway or downhill traffic only.
Never Scare Animals: Animals are easily startled by an unannounced approach, a sudden movement or a loud noise. Give animals enough room and time to adjust to you.
Plan Ahead: Know your equipment, your ability and the area in which you are riding and prepare accordingly. Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear.

Top Five MLS Rookie PerformersApril 30, 2009
There were many pundits touting the 2009 draft class as perhaps the greatest that MLS has ever seen. Even though it's only seven weeks into the regular season, it's clear that this is a draft for the ages, with several rookies already logging serious minutes for their respective clubs. And while it's early, here's my pick for the top five MLS rookie performers up to this point:
1. Stefan Frei—Goalkeeper, Toronto FC
One of the great shocks on draft day was Frei dropping down to Toronto's third pick (thirteenth overall) of the first round. Many scouts listed Frei as the draft's top shot-stopper and had him going to D.C. or Chivas. He's proved his mettle in the past few weeks and seems to have a firm grip on the number one jersey in Toronto. Any rookie that beats out an established veteran like Frei has deserves his plaudits, and two shutouts in his past two games helps his cause tremendously.
2. Chris Pontius—Forward/Midfielder, D.C. United
To be honest, Pontius is almost neck-and-neck with Frei. The versatile forward/midfielder out of the University of California (Santa Barbara) has been a revelation for United. He has started and played every minute of the season so far in the Black-and-Red, one of just two players to do that. He's even contributed two goals and two assists, including a game winner against New York last Sunday. His versatility gives Tom Soehn a forward and wide player who works his tail off, announcing himself as an early candidate for Rookie of the Year.
3. Steve Zakuani—Midfielder, Seattle Sounders FC
The No. 1 overall draft pick always has pressure on him—whether it's the NBA, NHL or MLS. While Zakuani hasn't played as much as other rookies, his contribution of two goals and two assists in six appearances speak well for themselves. The flair and speed of the midfielder adds an element to the Sounders' attack that needs to be on display each game.
4. Matt Besler—Defender, Kansas City Wizards
Who is Matt Besler? He's a local product of Kansas City, from nearby Overland Park, and since jumping into the Wizards' starting lineup the team has an impressive record of 3-1-1. He's presence has helped to settle a backline that leaked five goals in its first two games. Three shutouts in the next five games, Besler will be need to help solidify a young defense aside from veteran Jimmy Conrad.
5. Rodney Wallace—Midfielder, D.C. United
This is no D.C. United love-in, but Wallace's resume thus far is similar to Pontius—jumping in to the starting lineup from day one, and refusing to relinquish it to veterans behind him. A wing player out of the University of Maryland, Wallace brings pace on the wing that United has lacked in the past. He scored his first goal against New York last weekend and has started and played in all but 17 minutes of league matches.
Just missing the cut: Sam Cronin, Midfielder, Toronto FC; Omar Gonzalez, Defender, Los Angeles Galaxy; Quincy Amerikwa, Forward, San Jose Earthquakes.

Online Master of Science: Investment (FDI) in Russia
Syllabus of the eLearning Course (Subject): Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Russia. Establishing a business.
Description of the Course / Subject (Higher Education, e-learning): Foreign Direct Investment in Russia
Foreign direct investment is the second major factor of the reform strategy to strengthen the international economic and international trade ties of the Russian Federation.
The Russian Federation (Europe) has become one of the largest recipients of the foreign direct investment (FDI).
The main barriers to investing in Russia are the high inflation, downfall of the Russian gross domestic product, unstable exchange rate, uncertain legal and political environment, uncertainty about enactment and implementation of tax and regulatory regimes.
Nevertheless, the experts and agencies predict that improvement in those conditions will bring a sharp increase in the foreign direct investment (FDI).

upgrading the firmware using the Ethernet and a program built into windows 2k/xp called TFTP.
But in my case this cannot be done because the ethernet has also went into dying gasp mode along with the usb.
There is however a manual way to upgrade and fix it using a cable that connects to the parallel port and connects into the inside of the modem using a Header connector labeled "JP1" which has seven pins, normaly an asdl modem which has the GlobespanVirata chipset has a 6 pin Header connector like in the D-link and various other external modems.
I have got the manual upgrade software and firmware and also a schematic for the 6 pin
parallel cable.
what i am looking for is the pinouts for the seven pin connector labeled "JP1" so that I can alter my 6 pin cable, I think that the 7 pin cable uses one of the pins for either a locator pin (no wire connected) or as a short (two pins connected to each other).
By the way BT doesn't admit that this modem can even go into this mode on any of their Specifications/Documentation, or even on their customer support.
I only found out about this from the chipset specifications.
what the modem does is the power light stays on and the rest of the lights goes on in sequence from left to right then after the last light on the right goes out the last two lights on the right light up by themselfs for about a second then go out and starts the sequence all over again.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

This software predicts how an object will look through your telescope. It uses a database of 130,000 entries to help find out which objects will be visible with the telescope's optics at a specific time and location.
The programme finds suitable candidates for observing by filtering selections by object type, telescope, location, and so on and helps to plan a session by creating a list of objects for a single night, with the best times and order for observation. It enables the user to organize long-term projects by highlighting the next best opportunity for observation whilst clearly labelled star maps can be easily rotated to match the view in the eye-piece.
While it's true that sky map software is abundant in the US, 'Eye and Telescope' offers something unique--an attempt at defining not only the visibility of the target, but its actual appearance to the end user through their telescope, and from their site. This is both a time and frustration saving utility, as well as one that allows an observer to locate objects at the edge of their resources.
- Tom Trusock, CloudyNights.com
"Each day I try it, I discover something new which will help me as an amateur astronomer. 'Eye and Telescope' would be a wonderful aid to the technically-savvy amateur astronomer."
- Glenn Chaple, contributing editor, Astronomy magazine
"Due to the unique features of 'Eye and Telescope', an English version, serving the international market, is highly recommended by the reviewer. No doubt, the number of potential users is large, ranging from binocular owners to those observing with large Dobson telescopes. Both newcomers and deep sky experts will benefit. I'm sure the expected audience would welcome the product as a non-mainstream work, differing significantly from others. Due to its unique features, 'Eye and Telescope' has--up to now--no real competitors. It might be an excellent supplement to the large and scattered amount of information about deep sky observing and objects in printed, digital form or on the Internet. And, finally, it helps to effectively use your telescope, by planning and performing successful observations--worldwide."
- Wolfgang Steinicke FRAS, Galaxies section, Webb Society
"'Eye and Telescope' is a thoroughly crafted software tool for the serious backyard astronomer. It provides not only the ability to select the best objects for a night's observing but also to see a simulation of what those objects might look like through a user's telescope. Star charts that can be customized to plot only those objects of interest and the ability to control a GoTo telescope to slew to selected targets round out a full-featured deep-sky planning program great for use at the telescope or on the desktop. Highly recommended!"
- Alan Dyer, contributing editor, Sky & Telescope
"The biggest plus I see to it is that I can generate lists of objects based on a variety of criteria, which I find very handy. Just the other day, I needed to know how many planetary nebulae are in Aquila for the book I'm doing. I supposed I could have opened up either Megastar or Guide and started to count, but it was much easier to set the proper parameters in 'Eye and Telescope' and let it generate a list. I very much like the way you can print the three-panel white-on-black finder chart. That is a very handy feature! Even handier is the way that you can tie into a wide variety of planetarium programs. I selected Megastar. That's a great feature! I also like having Steve Gottlieb's NGC notes built right into it, as well. So, in my opinion, I find 'Eye and Telescope' to be very useful. Would I buy it? Knowing what I know about it at this point, I would state an enthusiastic 'yes!'"

The Induction phase is the first phase of the Atkins Diet, during which the body adjusts to functioning with low levels of carbohydrates. The Induction phase lasts for a full 14 days, and the body is then prompted to start using fat for fuel.
During the Induction phase, dieters must consume 20 or less grams of carbohydrates. This causes the body to go into ketosis and start fueling itself on fat instead of carbohydrates.

Swinging both ways
While most people generally have a sense of their home's orientation, usually north or south, and normally relate this to how much light they get, the truth is we could actually be getting a lot more out of our home's orientation.
Therefore further exploration enables access to much more useful information.
As this is something that is used in both the ancient temples (based on universal law) and in Feng Shui (in very different ways) it was best to separate the topic into two articles. Yet, if you are like me, you will likely find yourself drawing inspiration from both.
Whilst the two are very handy, useful and fun to follow, I tend to favor the system of ancient civilisations, grounded in universal law, rather than Feng Shui's age-old system which is more prescriptive.
Once upon a time...
Orientation was a key factor in the construction of temples in ancient civilizations, mainly because of the relationship between the earth and the sun. They understood that light was everything: a carrier of wisdom, life and growth. Therefore, our relationship with the sun is the best way to affect the energy of our homes and our path to enlightenment. Since there are 8 cardinal orientations, the 4 main ones (north,south, east, west) and the 4 secondary (north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west) there are 8 ways our beings and our homes can be affected by this relationship.
It's important to note that the explanations below work for temples based in the northern hemisphere. For those of you in Brasil or other parts of the southern hemisphere, you would need to reverse it.
The 8 ways to paradise
Also, keep in mind that there isn't any specific orientation which is better than the others as it all depends on what the aims are, what the specific situation is and what benefits one is looking for.
With this in mind, let's explore our options.
Facing North
As a northern entrance faces the cold and hardness of the north pole, the bitter winds make our senses more aware of the physicality of the planet, therefore north is associated with the element of earth, which is associated with materialisation, manifestation.
A north-facing home will tend to have an energy flow which enables action, results, things becoming concrete, for instance relationships might arise, as well as money, job opportunities, etc.
Since magnetism enters the earth through the poles, a north/south orientation also references geomagnetism, which is quite good for land and spatial energy.
Facing South
As this orientation faces the equator, the hottest part of the earth, the element evoked is fire, symbolically associated with strength and power.
This is a perfect orientation for people who are seeking to get over a difficult time, to find their center and own their inner power.
Facing East
As the sun rises in the east, this orientation represents an awakening from darkness, the light of the reborn sun.
Since light carries wisdom, the more it shines on us the more it illuminates everything and enables better understanding.
This would be a great orientation for a school classroom, a room in which people are studying or learning something, or perhaps even a meditation room for someone who is looking for clarity.
Frequency of light is highest at sunrise, making this a very potent orientation, and it also benefits from the purified morning air. Therefore air is the element it represents.
Facing West
As this is the orientation of the setting sun, it represents the descent into the underworld / the world of spirit. Introspection and "traveling within" are key.
This orientation is known as the one which receives the messages from the world of God, therefore the element is water, associated with communication.
A west facing home is perfect for meditation, a place where we want to dive in deeply and reflect.
South East
This orientation receives the first rays of the light of the winter solstice which is the time of the year when the light overcomes the dark.
As it represents the "rebirth of the light", it's about fertility, birthing, creativity, teaching of sacred sexuality. This is a great orientation for people who are trying to have a baby, but also for people who are working on creative projects and are looking for inspiration.
South West
This orientation is based on the time of the year when the light that first emerged out of the winter has fertilised crops to their full potential.
It's the highest achievement of the light of the sun, therefore, it symbolises celebration, gratitude and honoring the bountiful fruit of the earth. This also represents the time of the year when the sun begins to withdraw, as it's the end of summer. It therefore honors the spirit people for the safe passage through winter for protection as they emerge through to the other side to spring.
This is also the time when the veil between the two worlds are the thinnest. It invokes the dive within, the return to the womb, the process of self-contemplation as one goes deep into the mystery of life.
North East
This orientation faces the rising light of the midsummer sun, when the solar disk is at the zenith in the northern hemisphere.
As it represents the fullest exultation of the ascending light, it is associated with ancestral wisdom, with receiving the universal knowledge of the ancient ones.
Studies of ancient temples have shown the most potent and famous ones have a North-East/South-West orientation (with the front facing the North-East). This is the case for the Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Chartres Cathedral and many more and it makes sense as thesewere traditionally used as mystery schools, places for learning the wisdom from other dimensions. So if you are serious about your spiritual path and are constantly seeking growth, a north-east facing orientation would be best for you.
Proof please...
A couple of interesting examples have demonstrated that this indeed does work.
In the case of my afore-mentioned home, I checked the orientation after starting this work and found that it's north-east facing, like most temples and old mystery schools, which is interesting considering that I began to access the ancient wisdom that I am now using in this work just as I moved into it. Coincidence? Maybe not...
I also have a close friend who has been spending the last few years pulling himself out of a difficult and shaky money situation. Moving into his new home, everything had finally stabilised for him, he manifested the conditions to buy the place from his landlord and even received an unexpected raise to support him. On closer analysis, we see that this home is north-facing, the orientation of manifestation and materializationthe one that enables things to happen.
In another interesting case, a client of mine who had been trying for years to have a baby with his partner without success fell pregnant within only 8 weeks of moving into their new home. The home had a large entrance facing south-east, the orientation for fertility and creativity.
When I was recently temple-hopping in the Yucatan, I visited a cave which served for fertility rituals for thousands of years and still does today. Descendants of the Maya continue to hold ceremonies to keep its energy alive and woman who have fertility issues will spend 10 weeks in this cave after which they will generally find themselves able to fall pregnant. The cave is indeed south-east facing and interestingly, has some strangely phallic-shaped natural rock formations inside it..
Get started.
So how can you make the most of this information?
First and foremost, if you are shopping for a new place, it's a good idea to reflect on what type of changes you would like to see happen in your life and decide which orientation might work best to support these. Again, intuition is key! So if you find a house that resonates but that doesn't have the right orientation, don't throw it away! This may be the universe's way of telling you that what you really want is different from what you think you want. Listen to these cues.
Sometimes orientation is not a choice...
If your space has already been selected, we can examine ways to use your current orientation in your favor.
Get your compass out, figure out which way you are facing and have a look at the info above to see what you could be getting out of this orientation. Simply by being aware of this orientation, we begin to gain access to all the benefits we could be receiving from it.
So if you note that your home is north facing, sit facing that energy flow and meditate on how some areas of your life can benefit from manifestation and materialisation (for instance). Write it down to amplify this intent, and do your best to sit in gratitude for the sun and the earth and all the elements which are constantly conspiring in your favor.
Finally, if you feel that the benefits from another (or a few other) orientation(s) would be best suited for you than the ones from your current orientation, you can create corners which represent those benefits in those areas of the space.
For example: If your house is facing north-west, but you would actually prefer the benefits of north-east and south-west, well you could simply create corners in those parts of my home which reflect what you are keen to benefit from.
For instance creating a study/library/meditation room in the north-east corner (ancient wisdom) as a place for you to grow and develop, and create a nice dining room or living room in the south-west area to celebrate and have moments of gratitude with friends.
Future articles will show detailed examples of how to use shapes, colours and objects to create certain moods and emotions. But the most important thing is to use your intuition. if you are creating a "celebration and gratitude" area in the south/west part of the space, use colours, shapes and objects which you associate with those emotions. Perhaps bright and happy colours, taller, mature plants mid-century furniture which comes from another era (that we can be grateful for being passed on to us). Use your intuition to create the right associations.
Orientation and your business intention
Another key use of the orientation in your design process is to work closely with its related element as the guiding force the design concept of the space.
For instance, if your home is facing East, which is related to the AIR element, it would be a good idea to base the design concept on principles which relate to things which are light, clear and bright.
Using bright colours, flowing shapes, materials which aren't too heavy, etc..
By now, it would be a good idea to have created a moodboard of the design of your project.
This can be done with a pinterest board or by using a design software such as adobe illustrator, or power point for those who prefer to do presentations.
A mood board is important because it will act as a bridge between that which resonates with your soul at a deeply intelligent level, and what you want to put out in the world in the shape of objectives, benefits or impact for people who will come into contact with your space.
Whilst it is important for this moodboard to be a bridge between both, it is most important for it to represent something which resonates deeply for you. As mentioned in Module one, the temple will truly shine when its owner is in resonance with it.
We must then trust that it will resonate for the people who are meant to be drawn to it, and that they will be impacted accordingly, objectives will be achieves.
Moodboard making 101
I always suggest to my clients to start by making a moodboard which has no images of furniture or interiors at all.
Focus on the emotions and the mood first, create a dream that you want others to experience.
Once you have that in a place where it resonates and feels aligned, let yourself be naturally and intuitively guided to select images which will reflect those emotions.
Use flowers, abstract images, art, landscapes, elements of nature, even shoes and clothes or food if these feel right for you!
The important thing is for you to nail what the emotional body of the design concept is.
Once you feel good about that non-design first moodboard, evolve to the second moodboard which can now include furniture and design.
An Example:
You will read in a future module about my experience designing a design cafe in London.
I felt called, without quite understanding why, to base the design on an experience I had in Mongolia a couple of months before.
I had experienced a sense of adventure, exhilaration and excitement from being connected to such a poetry of nature.
I designed the moodboard, then the cafe itself, using the colours, materials, and shapes which reminded me of this landscape.
As i put the intention out, the right pieces simply appeared, as if by magic!
The result was astonishing, mainly because i found people lingering longingly in the cafe, speaking about their hopes and dreams, what they wish they could achieve, what they hoped to have courage for, and how optimistic they were for things to come.
It became clear that the sense of adventure I was trying to convey had made its way into people's subconscious and energy field through the design.
To be clear about what it is you want people to feel, you have to have the certainty of it within yourself.
What is most important to you? What really means something to you? What were you brought on Earth to bring forth for people?
Being connected to what means most to you is key to wake up and live every day purposely and feeling satisfied that you are in the right place doing the right things and following your mission.
And keep it simple. It can be as deep as saying you want to create a sort of temple where people can experience deeper wisdom, or a happy space where people feel they get connected to the simple pleasures of life, the little things.
Connect to that purpose, and let your imagination and inspiration go wild when creating your mood boards.
And then, intend to follow through with it, constantly measuring each and every decision you make to this moodboard, making sure it is aligned.
And as always, ENJOY!
Intention check-point
This is a good time to check in with our intention.
When we start to use something such as orientation to get certain results, remember that our intention should never be manipulative. We can not request something that is not in alignment with what the universe has in store for us. Becoming conscious of this is key, and we can begin to adapt our "requests" accordingly.
For instance: if you want to use a northern orientation to manifest money, rather than using an intention such as "I want to get this job, or this pay rise" we can ask "I would like to shed some light on the area of my life relating to money and wealth" or "Please help me find peace with my current financial situation, and be grateful for what I already have" or better yet "If something is blocking me from manifesting the money I need, can you please support me with the tools to shed light on the situation?"
From this place of clarity, or gratitude and understanding, true growth and manifestation will be exponential.

A few of my sewing friends have requested more details for some of the steps in the Cosmo Bag from my
"Style Stitches" book. This is such a great bag I want to make sure everyone can make it easily. The updated instructions are shown below in red along with a revised Figure 1. These changes will be reflected in all future printings from May 1, 2011 forward.
- In Step 5 on page 25, I've added a note describing how the pieces will look when you sew them together.
Step 5. ATTACH THE BANDS TO THE MAIN PANELS.
NOTE: The bottom edge of the band and the top of the main panel curve in opposite directions.
Once the panels are sewn, clipped and pressed, they will lay nice and flat.
a. Place the first band and main panel Right sides together, matching the curved bottom edge of the band with the curved top edge of the main panel. Pin the panels in place easing the band around the curve on the main panel. Stitch a 1/2" (1.3 cm) seam along the pinned edges. Backstitch at each end.
b. Clip a small V-shape in the seam allowance* every 1/2" (1.3 cm) around the curved edges of the band to allow it to lay flat. Be careful not to clip your stitching.
- In Step 6, I added more detail to Figure 1 to show you where to sew the stay stitching line made in Step 6h and the clips made in Step 6i. See Figure 1 below.
- I have also reworded Steps 6h and 6i on page 26 to make it more clear.
h. Stay stitch* 3/8" (1 cm) from the inside edge of the band and both handles on both main panels.
i. Clip* into the seam allowance every 1/2" to 3/4" (1.3 cm to 1.9 cm) around the curved edges of the handles and bands on both main panels. Be careful not to clip the stitching.

In yet another example of the limitless ingenuity of Chinese farmers, a Hunan farmer and his son have made a thriving business, raking in more than a million yuan in revenue each year by making and selling realistic model Transformers.
The Transformers franchise is hugely successful in China, so Yu Zhilin, who is a farmer but has a background in fine arts, decided to start creating robot statues from spare car parts during his spare time. Three years later, he finished his first recycled sculpture with his son Lu Yingyun, and the statues only got bigger from there. Now his enormous Optimus Prime and Bumblebee sculptures, assembled in his makeshift workshop, have gone viral!
Transformers like these are often bought up and proudly displayed in malls throughout China, and this team isn't the only one creating such replicas.

I was researching my archives for a post I'm planning when I came across this rather prophetic one from Jan 13th 2012, one year ago today
Two years ago it appeared the tide of to progressivism had been stemmed, that the basic philosophy of government being there to take care of the people who served, was rejected.
Instead today we have four more years in the White House, a House retained despite overwhelming odds and here in Massachusetts the decisive senate seat held so long by the lion of liberalism Ted Kennedy back in the hands of the Democratic party where it belongs.
the best advice I can give the GOP is to read the entire thing and remember.

MR. SATANMedium: Comic Books
Published by: MLJ Comics
First Appeared: 1940
Creators: Abner Sundell (writer) and Edd Ashe (artist)
Please contribute to its necessary financial support.
Amazon.com or PayPal
Comic books of the early 1940s were crawling with superheroes. Comics of the '60s were
crawling with them again. In fact, in a great many cases, they were crawling with the same superheroes, as the publishers active during both decades had a tendency to bring back the old ones for new adventures. Archie Comics, for example, not only revived The Black Hood, The Shield and The Comet as members of The Mighty Crusaders — in the fourth issue of that series, they dredged up virtually all of their costumed characters from the '40s, in a story very aptly titled "Too Many Superheroes".
A glaring exception was Mr. Satan, whose name (like that of The Gay Ghost) seems to have been against him. Following the success of the character that gave the company its name (it was formerly called MLJ Comics), the publisher had adopted a pure, wholesome, entirely clean image, and it wouldn't do to remind readers that it had once named a protagonist after the most evil being in all Creation. This guy didn't have the actual stench of brimstone about him, like Madam Satan, another '40s character of theirs who isn't likely to show up again, but still, there was no point, they apparently figured, in calling attention to him.
In everyday life, Mr. Satan was Dudley Bradshaw, one of those millionaire wastrels who liked to put on a mask and combat evil, like Firebrand, Green Arrow and Zorro. How and why he started doing it was never fully explained, but he'd travel the world righting wrongs and performing daring rescues. His dark purple costume seemed designed to blend into the night, except for its bright yellow cape. He paid homage to his namesake by including tiny horn-like protrusions on his cowl, which looked, if anything, even less Satan-like than Daredevil's.
Mr. Satan first appeared toward the rear of MLJ's Zip Comics #1 (February, 1940), where the main feature was Steel Sterling. His six pages were written by Abner Sundell and drawn by Edd Ashe, both of whom worked on a number of MLJ's characters. Ashe was co-creator of The Wizard, one of MLJ's most successful superheroes, and Sundell probably co-created Sgt. Boyle, the most successful of the company's many World War II military characters. Sundell and Ashe also wrote and drew a majority of Mr. Satan's subsequent stories.
He wasn't one of the company's more prominent characters — in fact, he never was seen on a cover; and after a mere nine adventures, disappeared without a trace. His main distinction lies in being one of the very, very few MLJ superheroes who was never seen again.
