Subject: Re: Using a crystal ball
Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:12 pm
Hi Golden Angel,
Sorry for delay in replying to your post, but now finally got time to pick up where I left off before life got in the way 9 months ago.
Yes, I've used a crystal ball and also include crystal ball divination in my psychic awareness classes. I would definitely advise anyone who uses any psychic tools (whether they use oracle cards or tarot, dowsing crystals, ribbons, tea-leaves or any other form), that they should always ask for protection and ask that what they give be for the higher good of either those they are reading for, or for themselves if they're doing themselves a reading.
Although I would never use a crystal ball to do a reading for a client myself, I do believe you can get some very good results from using a crystal ball, but it can take time and patience. My first crystal ball was bought for me by my mother, when I first started teaching psychic awareness classes. I had never used one before, but wanted to add one to my psychic awareness resources. When I first took it out of it's box, I didn't plan to use it, but my now ex-husband suggested I try using it. I wasn't sure what to expect, or even if I would get anything, but I was amazed at what I did see. I saw a scene in the crystal ball, in it I felt I was sitting in a small boat which was on a canal or small river. In front of me I could see a small stone bridge (what I call a donkey cart bridge), beyond that I could see another bridge a little further down the river. I hadn't got a clue where these bridges were or if it was simply my imagination, but I felt it might be Bruges or Venice. At that time, I had never been abroad so didn't know what these places looked like. I have long kept diaries and have recorded many spiritual experiences in these, so I wrote down what I'd seen and put it to the back of my mind.
Ten years ago, I met my partner and travelling companion Frank. He has travelled extensively in his life and has visited many places, but particularly loves France. When we met he introduced me to the joy of travelling and together we have visited many places in France and elsewhere. Two years after we met, Frank took me to Lisieux in France to the Shrine of St Terese of the Roses (which also fulfilled a spiritual prophecy made many years before). It was one of the most wonderful, moving, spiritual experiences of my life visiting Lisieux. On the last day of that 5 day trip to France, Frank decided to go back to the ferry via Bruges. When I watched people climbing on board the canal boats and saw the low bridges over the canal, I knew this was the place I had seen in my crystal ball many years earlier. I told Frank and he told me to climb aboard and take a trip down the canal in Bruges. I asked him to join me, but he said it was my dream and he would wait for me and take photos of me on the canal boat.
Hope you'll try crystal ball scying and get good results. I hope you'll share your crystal ball and other experiences with me.
Look forward to chatting again now I'm finally back!

Hi Golden Angel,
So pleased you got my crystal ball post. Don't know if you've read these already, but I've posted some dowsing information including exercises on SQ, which you may find useful. Pendulum dowsing's interesting and very enjoyable and I've got some lovely crystal and gemstone pendulums among my collection of psychic tools, but as you'll read in my Dowsing section you can also use a needle or even a key to dowse with too. Crystals and gemstones are so beautiful, so it's just so lovely to be able to use those for dowsing.
If you're planning to attempt automatic writing, please ensure you do protect yourself. Never attempt automatic writing without protecting yourself everytime, as it can be very unnerving if you're unfortunate enough to pick up a spirit who is not of the Light. When you do automatic writing you allow a spirit entity to enter your body in order to be able to use your hand and thereby communicate through pen and paper. Automatic writing isn't like inspirational writing. The words are usually written faster on paper than you can think them. That's because you're not in control, the spirit who is communicating is, the words are not yours but theirs. Inspirational writing (which often includes beautiful poetry) is inspired by Spirit. Thoughts and words enter your mind (just as your own thoughts do), this means you have time to analyse what you're picking up before you write them down. Analysing what you get first, also helps you to be able to sense whether what you've been given feels right or not. Automatic writing happens quickly, the pen often doesn't leave the paper long enough to leave gaps between the words and you probably won't even realise what's been written until after it's completed. If the spirit control is of the Light then you'll get good, accurate information and be left feeling calm and peaceful. However, if you're unlucky enough to pick up a control which is 'not of the Light', then you may receive information which leaves you feeling unsettled after reading it. If you write a letter. or write in a diary, you will usually start off knowing what you're going to put in your letter (even if you're not exactly sure how to word the letter), or you'll know what you're going to write about in your diary, this isn't the case with Automatic Writing. I don't say these things lightly, Golden Angel I do speak from experience.
PLEASE REMEMBER: When you work psychically or spiritually, always trust your feelings. If something feels wrong (even if you've protected yourself) then stop doing it immediately. That way you'll ensure you always remain safe at all times. I want you and all my SQ members to enjoy and get the very best from your abilities.

Hi Pat, yes thank you i had a read on your post re- pendulums. my hubby has bought me a lovely pendulum, it is a chackra bracelet come pendulum, so i can't wait to use it when it arrives. Yes i too agree about automatic handwriting not to be taken lightly, at first when i read about it i was really unsure, but i have read about it in several books now, and would like to try and connect with my angels, and spirit guides. I too read your post about it so thank you for taking the time to put all this useful information on here. I will let you know how it goes when i try it.
Love Golden Angel xx

Hi Golden Angel,
Thanks for your message, the pendulum/bracelet you plan to use sounds lovely. I'm glad you found my pendulum exercises and look forward to hearing whether your results are successful (if you don't mind sharing with us) for both pendulum and automatic writing. My psychic awareness group met today and we experimented with cartomancy (playing cards) exercises, which was interesting.
I intend to spend time shortly studying crystal divination, I've been meaning to do this for the last 12 months as I've got everything I need, but just didn't have time last year.
Looking forward to sharing some crystal divination info with everyone.
Hope you're having a really enjoyable weekend.
Love Pat xxx

Hi GA,
Thanks for your message. I've had a lovely weekend with my friends. I'll definitely be posting more info onto SQ very shortly, particularly regarding my recent visit to the Seekers Trust in Addingham Kent. My spirit guide Frances Banks was once President of the Seekers Trust when she was alive, so I've long wanted to visit this place (which is a Centre for Prayer and Spiritual Healing). It was a wonderful experience which fulfilled a spiritual prophecy made to me in 1980, so hopefully I feel SQ members will find this interesting.
It may take me a few weeks to do this as there's a lot going on at the moment. My son, who was missing for 20 years has just been found safe and well (about 11 days ago) through a FB group I set up which had 1500 members (which included many friends from S & D forum). The chances of finding him were literally millions to one against as he changed his name shortly after he first went missing and I never knew what name he used. I really feel God's answered my prayers (and the prayers of many, many well-wishers and I've received a miracle. I posted a message on S & D the other night letting members know my son's been found and I got some lovely replies back from members I haven't had an opportunity to speak too for several months. Unfortunately, the next morning my post had disappeared off the forum, so I'll post something on here instead shortly.
Thank you for your support, as I've not been able to spend much time on SQ for a while, things have become a bit quiet on here, so I need to let everyone know I'm back.
Look forward to speaking to you again very soon.
Love Pat xxx

Barbara Meza, of Conscius Vita, will present Power Up for Winter! A Lymphatic Wellness Workshop from 2 to 4 p.m., February 28, at Conscius Vita, located at 33 South Delaware Avenue, Suite 201, in Yardley.
Participants in this afternoon session will learn easy ways to improve lymphatic circulation, strengthen the immune system and improve functionality of the mucous membranes throughout the winter months.
Meza explains, "During the wintertime we are inclined to spend less time moving about outdoors. The cold and the reduced activity contribute to physical stiffness and thickening of the blood and lymph. This impedes circulation and natural detoxification, and causes an increased susceptibility to illness.
"By incorporating lymphatic drainage treatments with easily available herbs, foods, essential oils and other wellness practices," says Meza, "we can empower ourselves with optimal wellness."
Meza is a traditional Western herbalist with a degree in natural health, as well as a licensed massage therapist, lymphatic drainage therapist, cupping therapist and holistic health practitioner, serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Conscius Vita draws upon the philosophies of the East and the West, incorporating traditional Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and ayurvedic concepts of health and nutritive wisdom to help others on their personal journey to regain and retain health.
Attendees will receive a delightful cold-season support gift set and a gift certificate towards a lymphatic drainage session at Conscius Vita.
Cost: $20. Please pre-register online at ConsciusVita.com. For more information, call Barbara Meza at 201-978-7335 or email email@example.com. February 2016.

Did you know that Inditex brands are 30% cheaper in Spain? The company manufactures and designs its clothing with a unique system in Arteixo, La Coruña. And this allows lower prices in national ground.
This is why I try to hold back on my shopping impulses for my weekends back home, but it is just impossible for me. I was in the Munich Zara shop (Theatinerstraße 7) yesterday and could not resist to buy this lovely jersey with rhinestones in the neckline.
I am wearing it today to work with a skirt from Mango, my Pikolinos shoes and my Tuscany leather bag.
Have a great day, the weekend is almost here!

Evolution of the program
Initial Launch and Basis of the program-
The ILSS Program launched in the Fall of 2007 based on a design strategy and plan developed by Dr.'s Julie Higle and Dr. Scott Sink. Dr. Higle believed, based on Senior Exit Interviews, that our Undergraduate Students needed a set of courses that did a better job of helping them see how all their core courses fit together. Dr. Sink was coming off 7 years as Vice President of Business Process Reengineering and Improvement and based on recruiting and hiring experiences believed Undergrads needed more real world seasoning as part of their BSISE programs.
The Program is based on learnings and work done from 2004-2007 with MDS in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Sink was the VP of Business Process Improvement and reported directly to the President of Enterprise Services for MDS. Dr. Sink's BPI unit served the entire MDS organization, 4 revenue generating business units and included Corporate/Enterprise IT, Finance, HR, and Supply Chain Management. He was mandated to build, from ground up, a best in class Operations Excellence Program powered by Integrated LeanSigma Principles, Methods, Training, Tools, etc. This mandate was achieved, completed in the Spring of 2007 and Dr. Sink returned to academia, Ohio State ISE.
Outstanding Curriculum Innovation Award, 2011 -
In 2011, the ILSS program was awarded the Outstanding Curriculum Innovation Award by the ISE Academic Department Heads at the Annual IIE Conference. The Design Review presentation for the same has been linked here to provide an understanding of the history of the program and the concept design.

When Clontarf Veterinary Hospital first opened its doors in August 1995 it's mission was to put the care of your pet first – always. Since then many things have changed but not our commitment to the welfare and well-being of all the creatures, great and small, that come through our doors.
As a result Clontarf Veterinary Hospital and its team has grown to become one of the most respected veterinary health care providers in the NorthDublin servicing areas from Malahide to Marino. Our growth has been fuelled by three fundamental beliefs that govern everything we do, every day, all day.
First, the welfare of your pet is our first concern. As pet owners and long-time animal lovers ourselves we know what it's like when the pet you cherish is sick and unwell. So everything we do is aimed at helping your pet get well and stay well.
Second, veterinary care changes– new innovations and revelations mean there are better ways to treat your pet being uncovered all the time. We know this and so we constantly invest in new equipment, new treatments and cutting edge education for all our staff. Our hospital is equipped with an operating theatre, X-ray facilities, ultrasound, endoscopy, blood pressure monitoring, air-driven dental station, pulse oximetry and modern gas anaesthesia. Our investment means that you can rest assured that your pet gets the best treatment available every time.
Third, it's not just about sickness – your pet has lots of needs – from socialization and training to preventive care that helps them keep well and get the most out of life. So our hospital offers much more than veterinary "fixes". Our staff are trained in all aspects of animal welfare and we offer services such as puppy training classes, weight watchers, nutritional advise and our fully trained nurses are always at hand to given you helpful hints and advice on the care of your pet.
Located at the Marino end of the Malahide Road near Graingers Pub, Clontarf Veterinary Hospital is easily accessible from the surrounding areas of Fairview, Clontarf, Marino, Donnycarney, Beaumont, Santry, Raheny, Donabate as well as Malahide and Howth.
At Anicare Clontarf we are proud of what we do and proud that we do it well.
Sick or well come visit us soon.
Tanis Turley
From early childhood Tanis always knew she wanted to be a vet. In fact legend has it that she informed her teacher on her first day at school that when she grew up she was going to be a vet! Growing up in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains – a place still close to her heart – her passion for animals was clear from an early age as she surrounded herself with pets of every type – from cats, dogs and ponies to tadpoles and frogs.
Always the first to nurse a sick animal or convince her family to take in yet another stray Tanis' child hood dreams became a reality when she graduated from University College Dublin in 1987 as a veterinary surgeon.
After a period spent working in the greater London area Tanis returned to Ireland and joined Anicare in 1995. She became a partner two years later and with Michael Hatton, Anicare's founding member she helped develop Anicare from the one-man practice it was then to the multi-branch, multi-discipline veterinary practice that it is today. Her love of animals and dedication to their welfare is well recognised. She is a past overall winner of the prestigious Nationwide Stronghold Veterinary Petcare Award and has been highly commended in a number of subsequent years.
Now based in Anicare's Clontarf Veterinary Hospital, she enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine with a particular interest in internal medicine and practice management. Always keen to keep up to date with changes in the profession Tanis regularly attends continuing education lectures and seminars both in Ireland and overseas. She has also completed courses in internal medicine and diagnostic imaging with Sydney University Post- graduate Foundation in Veterinary.
In the past she has been an active member in veterinary organisations as well as a committee member of VICAS (Veterinary Ireland Companion Animal Society). Tanis is currently a member of the UCD Veterinary Faculty External Advisory Board. Outside of work she enjoys sports, both as a participant and a spectator, and is particularly fond of tennis and hill walking. Her more leisurely interests include the preforming arts and travel.
John Joyce
John then headed north where he spent four years working in mixed practice in Derry and Fermanagh.
It was during these early years working in both large and small animal practices that John developed his passion for surgery.
With this in mind John decided that a change of scenery was in order and moved to London where he worked in the well-known animal charity – The Celia Hammond Animal Trust.
John spent two years working there during which time he refined his skills in both orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery. In 2016 John enrolled with the University of Liverpool in a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons post graduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery which he plans to complete in 2019.
John moved back to Dublin and joined the Anicare team in June 2018. John spends most of his time working in Anicare's Clontarf Veterinary hospital but treats most of the more complicated and challenging orthopaedic cases referred from other branches within the Anicare Veterinary Group.
Outside of work John enjoys football cycling and cooking and he is also keen skier.
To relax John enjoys nothing more than a long walk with his dog Blossom – a rescue Golder Retriever.
Tracy O'Reilly
Tracy hails from Glemore near Carlingford in Co Louth where she grew up with her three younger brothers and lots of dogs! She has always loved animals and enjoyed working with them. In the past she has worked on her uncle's farm and with her local large animal veterinary practice where she was employed for eight years. She moved to Dublin in 2003 and joined Anicare Veterinary Group. Initially Tracy's role was that of animal care assistant where she had a hands on part to play in the day to day care of Anicare's patients.
Over the years Tracy's role within the practice has evolved and she now is the receptionist come 'practice manager' in our Clontarf Veterinary Hospital. After many years working with us Tracy is on first name terms with most of Clontarf's clients and their pets. Our regular clients will recognise Tracy as the first friendly face they see as they enter our clinic at 66 Malahide Road Clontarf.
Tracy is always happy to answer your call, schedule your appointment, make up your pet's repeat prescription or order food for you. As well as this Tracy ensures on a day to day basis that Clontarf Veterinary Hospital runs smoothly with her excellent practice management skills. For Tracy, it is the overwhelming urge to take animals out of pain and into comfort that makes working at Clontarf a labour of love. There is nothing more rewarding than to see a "not-feeling-too-good" puppy or kitten return to the clinic a few weeks later back to their old selves. Outside of work Tracy has a cat called Goose.In her free time she enjoys reading, listening to music and going to gigs. She is also an ardent fan of batman. 2013 sees Tracy celebrate her first decade with Anicare Veterinary Group – we look forward to her being part of 'Team Clontarf' for many years to come.
Maeve Deady
Qualified Veterinary Nurse
The daughter of a diplomat Maeve grew up in many different countries from Africa to North America before returning to settle in Dublin. Independent of geography she was always surrounded by animals and knew from an early age that she wanted to care for them. Whilst living in Tanzania Maeve rescued a young Bushbaby – a small primate and nursed him back to full health before returning him to his natural habitat.
Maeve did work experience in Clontarf Veterinary Hospital as a transition year student and it was at this time she adopted her cat Misty who is now the grand old age of eighteen. Maeve also has a cat Max a youthful five year old whom she hand reared from three weeks of age after he was abandoned in a plastic bag on the doorstep of Clontarf veterinary Hospital.
Following on from her transition year, Maeve was employed by Clontarf Veterinary Hospital as a veterinary nursing assistant during her summer holiday for a number of summers before starting work full time in 2006. Maeve then enrolled in the University College Dublin Veterinary nursing course graduated from UCD in 2012 with a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing and is now a Registered Veterinary Nurse.
Over the years Maeve has successfully hand reared many orphaned kittens. Despite the hard work and night feeds she gets great satisfaction watching them grow and finding good homes for them. Maeve enjoys all aspect of veterinary nursing. She is also a keen horse woman and qualified riding instructor and enjoys nothing better than to get away at the weekend to go on trail rides.
Eimear O'Brien
Registered Veterinary Nurse
Eimear is a native of Dublin where she lives with her parents and younger brother. She first came to our veterinary hospital with her dog Jessie. The Clontarf veterinary team made a lasting impression on Eimear and so the seed was sown – Eimear knew she would dedicate her life to the care and comfort of animals.
Initially she completed a course in animal care at Killester College Dublin. Whilst studying in Killester Eimear did her work placement in Clontarf Veterianry Hospital where she quickly proved herself to be a perfect fit with the Clontarf team. Always a smiling face for our clients and a warm hand and heart for our pets. On foot of this she was welcomed into the Clontarf team full time when she qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse from Dundalk Institute of Technology in 2014 .
Eimear has a particular interest in behaviour and welfare. She has fond memories of Alfie a cat who had sustained horrific head and mouth injuries resulting in him requiring a long stay in Clontarf Veterinary Hospital. Eimear's one on one care played a big part in nursing Alfie back to full health. She recalls the bitter sweet moment of seeing this delightful cat whom she had grown so fond of happily returned to his home and family.
Having been a client for over a decade, and experienced first hand the care and attention the practice gives to animals in its care, she now thoroughly enjoys giving that same care and one of a kind experience back to you – the Clontarf client. Outside of work Eimear enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to the cinema and out for meals. She also enjoys music and watching TV in particular animal programmes such as Animal A&E and The Zoo. She also enjoys books on animal behaviour.
Niamh Mc Evoy
Niamh was born and has lived in Dublin her entire life. She has always had a passion for animals both pets and wildlife and knew she would work with them in the future. She found her love for veterinary nursing volunteering abroad in a wildlife rehabilitation centre in south africa. After returning home Niamh completed the animal care course in Killester college and went on to complete the veterinary nursing course in Dundalk institute of technology. Niamh will be the newest member of our nursing team when she graduates in November. Niamh has two dogs, a cat and two newts.

Attention to detail ~ Realism!/
In my last blog Looking Back and Looking Down, I wrote about aerial perspective paintings I painted for MBNA as their resident artist. All of the detail I put into the office buildings, reminded me of one of MBNA's creeds, "Attention to detail". There was a "from the top down" discipline that created a winning attitude among the people who worked there. You could feel it when you walked into one of the many worldwide office buildings. People were polite and professional. The attention to detail was carried over into the working environment from the artwork on the walls to the exteriors of the buildings themselves. My job was to paint those exteriors with little brushes, not big brushes! ☺
On one occasion back in 2001, my assignment was to paint the MBNA office building in Chester, England. I flew over to photograph the facility from all angles, came home and painted this painting for the cover of the stockholders' Quarterly Report.
It has become one of my favorites of the many office building paintings I painted over my 10 years with MBNA. The Chester office building epitomizes the "attention to detail" philosophy, including many architectural elements like cornerstones, dental moldings, pediments, sills, pillars, slate sidewalks lined with bricks, etc…
The many artistic challenges included a detailed drafting of the building in pencil on a hardwood board. Many hours were put into the under-drawing to make sure the perspective was correct.
Painting in every little brick and dental molding required the littlest of brushes. Through the glassed corridor, multiple windowpanes offset each other adding perspective.
Subtle shading on the limestone indicates the direction of sunlight, creating various delicate differences in tones. Little architectural elements like the beveled edges on the cornerstones were not to be overlooked.
Not all of my paintings included this much detail, but when I first saw this building I knew I had to include all of the architectural elements. They were more than just decorative. They were meant to create a striking first impression when visiting the bank.
In this case, I believed crisp realism was necessary to not only capture all of the architectural elements, but to convey the uncompromising attention to detail mentality that permeated throughout the company and helped create MBNA's winning legacy.
Thank you as always for reading my journal and your interest in my art. Please check back soon to see what's on my easel! Thanks.

Very similar to the Billy Cook 2042 model (minus the silver spots) this is the perfect saddle for work and play.
Designed with female riders in mind, this Ladies All Around features unique design elements with a colored seat quilting, rawhide accents on horn, cantle, and stirrups, and silver trim.
This saddle could pass for a barrel racer but also includes a vertical horn with a little extra meat to handle light work.
A double dee in-skirt rigging reduces bulk under the fenders and weighs less than heavier on-tree rigging.
This saddle ships with nylon tie strap and off billet to reduce weight.
The smaller bell stirrups with rawhide lacing add a feminine touch to this saddle.
Suede seat and roughout jockeys/fenders will keep you secure during the most demanding situations.
With hand-tooled logos and multiple ID plaques, nobody will questions whether you're riding the real Billy Cook.
Saddle ships with matching rear flank strap and cinch.

We sailed past Cabo San Lucas and into the lee of Baja just after sunset. We switched back to our working sails for the turn upwind and ghosted past the town. Early in the morning, at San Jose del Cabo, the north wind returned in earnest and we started zigzagging our way up the Sea of Cortez on the east side of Baja. We were able to get a good enough phone signal passing San Jose Del Cabo to get an amended forecast, which indicated we would have to wait a day longer for favorable winds than the prior forecast had indicated. We decided to beat upwind just to the next protected anchorage at Los Frailes and stop there for the night until the winds got better.
We didn't spend enough time there to go ashore or to see anything, but it was nice to be relieved of the need to keep constant watch and to be able to enjoy dinner together.
We were up early for more upwind sailing in light air. It took us another day and a half to make it as far as La Paz. There, the wind backed to the west and we were able to start pointing the direction we wanted to go, eliminating all of the extra mileage of tacking.
About midway through Maryanne's night watch, I awoke to the sound of building wind and the rush of water streaking past the hull alongside our berth. I heard her reef sails and then reef again and the noise continued to increase. I poked my head out in the cockpit to find Maryanne struggling to lower the mainsail to the next reefing point. The mainsail is most easily reefed while the boat is pointed into the wind, but when she turned upwind, it and the chop would slow us to a crawl. The rudders would lose effectiveness and the autopilot, which had just a few seconds ago had been making small corrections for large heading changes, suddenly needed it to be the other way around. It would react too slowly and then Begonia would be blown downwind, plastering the main on the shrouds and frustrating Maryanne's attempt to get it out of the building wind. I took over the helm and was able to keep the boat straight enough to allow her to get the sail under control.
Sailing around the tip of Baja - was not all bad at all
Dolphins, Chocolate Cake, sunsets and sunrises
The rest of her night watch was pretty bad. The seas got rougher and rougher and the wind would occasionally gust high enough to need two quick reefs to be put in in a real hurry, with fears of needing another.
It wasn't as dramatic for me on the backside of the night, but it was still pretty uncomfortable. At least we were finally eating up the miles, but it would have been nice to find some sort of medium.
The subsequent night was more of the same. We were both getting pretty sleep deprived and sick of the conditions. When we got a new forecast for big headwinds coming in a couple of days, we were glad to pull into harbor for some rest at Santa Rosalia.
We anchored as the only boat in the basin in the calm before the storm. The next day, we checked on the rates at the marina and decided to spend out the blow there.
Santa Rosalia is a decent sized little town with a real Old West feel. We were able to stock up on a few much needed provisions as well as source some parts for some minor fix-it jobs. We also found a pretty good fish taco stand.
First views of Santa Rosalia - and with plenty of time to explore
After only a couple of days, we had walked every street at least three times and have a good feel for the place. We will likely be almost another week before the wind dies down and we'll be able to resume our push north again, so I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to see all there is to see a few times over.

2016 Honda Civic Sedan EX
May 30 2018
As hybrids and EVs have started to enter every vehicle lineup, Honda's taken things to a new level with the all-new Honda Clarity hybrid plug-in model to rival some of the best already out there. And rival them it does.
The 2018 Honda Clarity's exterior design is decidedly un-hybrid and looks quite mundane compared to some EVs and hybrids currently on the road. Sporting Honda's front chrome wing across the front grille, and a modern and unique rear, the Clarity is aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching in all the right ways. Unlike the Honda Insight, the rear wheel covers (for increased aerodynamics and better fuel mileage) aren't as glaringly obvious or obnoxious (for lack of a better word) and the overall lines of the Clarity are much ore appealing.
Inside, the 2018 Honda Clarity features an 8" colour display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as Bluetooth connectivity and standard WiFi tethering. You'll find seating for 5, as well as active noise control that ensures your Honda Clarity experience is both smooth and quiet.
Speaking of smooth, the 1.5L Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine found in the 2018 Honda Clarity produces a combined 212 horsepower (103 ponies from the gas engine alone, and 181 from the battery), and 232 lb-ft of electric motor torque, and 99 lb-ft from the gas side of things. Power is handled via an E-CVT transmission and there are three drive modes to choose from: Sport, Normal and Econ.
When fully charged, the 2018 Honda Clarity plug-in Hybrid has a class-leading all-electric range of 76km. And the combined gas and electric range on a full tank (for each) is approximately 547km. This little sedan has the goods to deliver emission-free road trips all summer long, with fewer stops at the pumps along the way, which means more time for exploration.
To find out more about the 2018 Honda Clarity and all it has to offer, head down to your local Portland Street Honda dealer to speak to one of our experts, and don't forget to book a test drive, too.

The CrossFit Open – How to prepare for your best Open yet!
So it's that time of year again where every man and his dog emerge from their "boxes" (…seriously, why don't we just call them gyms?) and start preparing for the CrossFit Open.
What is 'the Open' you say? Good question, glad you asked. The CrossFit Open is the world's premier test of fitness. Since 2011, this five-week, five-workout, online competition has ranked the fitness of thousands of competitors worldwide.
Held in CrossFit affiliates and garage gyms all over the world, the Open is designed to be accessible to all athletes. Workouts, are released online each Friday and athletes have until the following Monday to successfully submit their scores online. Lucky for us it all kicks off on February 25th 2016!
Whether you're pushing for Regionals, trying to improve on last year's score, or simply trying it for the first time, the Open has something to suit everyone. There are now numerous categories in which to enter including the teen division, masters, scaled and advanced/open.
The great thing about the Open, and arguably CrossFit in general, is that it brings the cult community together for 5 glorious weeks!
For those of us who are scaling, still mastering the movements, or just doing it for a bit of fun, I know what you're thinking… "Do I have to give up my Friday night and weekend beers!?"… The answer (thankfully) is a resounding no!
Although the Open caters for the serious athletes, it is a great chance for you to meet the other members of the gym, come and cheer them on, and in return be cheered on. It's also a fantastic opportunity to checkout some of the top dogs strut their stuff.
For those of you pushing for a shot at regionals or looking to be competitive this year, here are my top 5 tips for you:
1. Don't come into the Open over-trained
An over-trained athlete is a useless athlete. You need to be prepared, well rested and ensure you're not overtraining in the lead up to each Open wod.
You've done the hard yards already. Be happy with what you've achieved. There is very little to be gained from long, extra sessions hoping to magically add 20kg onto your snatch the day before. (It'd be nice though… am I right!)
2. Rest / Active recovery
Leading on from my previous point, in addition to ensuring you're not over-training you need to make sure your rest and recovery ratios are on point. For each week you want to be in the best possible condition both mentally and physically.
Make sure you dial in the active recovery the day or two before the Open wod is released and try to incorporate a rest day into your week. Get your nutrition and supplements sorted for before, during and after your workouts as well as hydrating and getting plenty of sleep so you feel prepared to hit those Open workouts at 110%.
3. Master the basics
It's likely you've done the Open before and know what movements await you. Some of these might include double-unders, wall-balls, burpees, KB swings and box jumps. By now, these movements should almost be second nature to you, but it's wise to still practice these movements in order to build those solid neural pathways.
Try incorporating these into your daily warm-ups and over the course of the week, you're likely to have covered all bases leaving no excuses come Open time!
4. Practice your weaknesses
Struggle with handstand pushups? Then get your ass upside down.
Can't string muscle-ups together? Work on your ring strength and transition technique.
We all have weaknesses or areas we can improve. Your preparation for the Open is the perfect time to address some of these weaknesses by investing more time in the movements that you're uncomfortable with.
Through improving your confidence and efficiency with these movements, you'll help avoid fatigue and injury and subsequently increase your chances of success.
5. Have fun
Above all else, try to stay calm, relaxed and embrace the CrossFit Open. Be confident and determined, but don't work yourself up so much that you don't enjoy the experience.
At the end of the day, the Open should be about testing your abilities and being proud of how far you've come since last year. Regardless of your ranking, be grateful of the awesome community you are a part of and enjoy the ride!
Try to keep the above tips in mind when preparing for the Open and I'm sure you'll be on your way to your most successful Open yet!
Best of luck to all of the CrossFit Creature members who are competing in this year's CrossFit Open, I look forward to cheering you on!

Not In The Mood?
You don't have to ask me twice
__to erase you from my mind
I already did it
The time I refuse to take
__to make you mine
____I'd rather spend staying outta your life
Like you want me to
I know you're not in the mood
__for me to love you
Rub you
Or fuck you
So my dick has shriveled up now
It won't even think of you
The sex we won't have
Is all the pain I can stand
And I can't stand anymore
You'll never spread your legs for me
I'm just wastin' my time
And I ain't got much time left
I just know it
My world is blowing up in my face
I'm so hurtin'
Filled with pain
Driven insane
Why waste my time on you?
You're probably not even really sick
You just don't want my dick
Well, I've had it up to here
__my dear
I'm done with you

I didn't want the divorce; How do I get him back?
Read more Relationship Advice and Dating Advice involving divorce:
Dating as a single mother in my 20s
Divorced women in her 40s dating bachelors
Will he ever leave his marriage for me?
I realize I still love my husband after getting divorced
Hi Guys!
This is gonna make your brain hurt but here goes. I've been together with my guy for seven years, and married for four. We have a two year-old son. We have had a tough couple of years given my husband (now my ex-husband) is a police officer. There have been several emotional affairs and one or two intimate ones.(By him) I have forgiven him for them but will never forget.
I have literally lived in a very, "I love you today, wish you would leave the next day" relationship for about two and a half years. We finally divorced about one week ago. I did not want the divorce but he said he needed to find himself and he's not who he is. Well I can second that! But what changed?
He wrote me two letters in the past two years telling me I made his life wonderful and he loved me more than I would ever know. His most recent letter was telling me just how proud of me he is and that I was the best thing to ever happen to him. And the next month he moved out of our bedroom? That was last year. Then he starts texting and sexting other married women and sneaking out with them. And when I question him about it he says, "We're done. I told you I was done with you." When did you tell me I wonder?
I know we've had hard times and yes we've yelled the "I want a divorce" crap several times but I never knew it was being yelled for real, becasue we would be fine a few days later. I didn't want this divorce I am in love with this man.
I can't stand to know he's going to be sleeping with other women; it kills me. I asked him to leave our home in November after finding a text to another woman whom he refuses to tell me anthing about. The text was all about how much they love each other and can't wait to be together. He says it was a drunk text. Maybe that's true. I haven't seen them call or text each other but once since.
He came home on December 10th and told me he wanted to talk to me before any decisions were made about the divorce. Three days went by without him saying a word to me. Then we had a good night and I casually asked if we were gonna have the talk. He blew up at me and filed the next day. And ever since that day he's begged me daily to hurry and sign the papers. Well I finally did and he just seems so happy without me. It's heartbreaking. My therapist says that he seems to be narcissistic. I dunno, but another man's POV (Point of View) would be helpful.
I want my family back and my husband back. What do I do?
Rather not Say
Dear Rather not Say,
Thanks for your question. We're sorry you are going through such a difficult time right now. We never like to see families break up.
For some guys it takes a while to settle into a marriage. Many guys don't realize there's a big difference between saying, "I do" and actually doing it. And when that reality hits some guys step up to the plate and get their act together—albeit some take longer than others—and some guys just can't seem to see the treasure that's right in front of them. The "latter" guys view marriage as a prison. It's a place where they have no fun, they have no freedom; a place where they feel burdened with responsibilities. These are the guys that stray, cheat, and finally do irreparable damage to their relationships, all the while dragging their spouses through the mud.
Does this sound familiar to you?
Marriage can be difficult, especially with kids in the picture. And that's another pivotal point for some guys. Now they are no longer their wife's number one. In fact for a while they are quite the distant second. And a lot of men just can't handle that. It's not that they don't love their baby, it's just they are still babies themselves. These guys haven't matured enough to realize that becoming a father is not just a huge responsibility, but one of the greatest things that can ever happen to a man. We imagine your guy's touching notes to you were written during one of his rare moments of reflection when he took a hard look at his life and all the wonderful things in it. (You, your son) It sounds like he's capable of self-reflection, but the more narcissistic side of him is winning the battle. And so yes, we agree with your therapist to some degree.
We're not saying marriage is right for everyone. And we're also not saying that people should stay in a loveless marriage. But so much of the time people break up and get divorced only to find that they're no different in the next relationship, and that their same old patterns keep resurfacing over and over. Changing the environment is only a temporary fix for these people.
So what can you do?
You can take care of your son and be the best mother you can be. You can do the best to move on by pursuing your interests, passions, career, etc. You can lean on your friends and family for support. But you certainly don't need to change anything to make yourself more alluring to him. If a loving wife and beautiful child is not enough to keep him committed then nothing will. We fear he's not going to change any time soon. From what you describe he's got a lot of learning to do. The good news is that he's aware of it, and in those quiet moments he might even be reflecting on it. But that doesn't mean he's close to figuring it all out. He should read, "Are you with the right mate?" It's from a recent Psychology Today. (You'll find it interesting as well.)
It is possible that he could get his act together, but it could take a long time. And who knows if you will be open to him still when he figures out what he gave up.
Please feel free to ask us a follow up question, or leave us a follow up comment. We'll respond here in the comments section as well.
Good luck and keep us posted,
ps. Please let your friends know about us.

The Dead is a series that we've followed pretty closely on the site. It's from creators James Maddox and Jen Hickman and it's gone from a weekly web series, to digital issues and a super successful Kickstarter to produce physical copies. With a journey like that it really is the epitome of indie comics. I had the chance to interview the creators about The Dead and so it's my pleasure to present that to you below.
DUSTIN: Where did the idea for THE DEAD come from? The series started as a web-comic and then moved to collected digital issues, to Kickstarter, and physical copies. What's been the challenge of each medium?
JEN: I think this probably has a bigger impact on James, who does the lion's share of promoting the project. For me it's more like, "what kind of file output am I doing" which is an incredibly micro view of the situation.
JAMES: Yeah, I'll take that one. THE DEAD was a story that I'd been wanting to tell for years. As a creator, it challenged me to imagine a strong story for a number of varied settings and characters. Before I knew it, I had a plot going and the connections were tying themselves together and pushing themselves further and further along.
As for the comic's production, I'm a print guy at the core, so my first instincts when starting a new comic are to put together pages for print. I travel to enough conventions that I'll always need something to sell, and when we started work on THE DEAD, we did it as a print book. But after the con season ended, we decided to move further with the series than your standard pitch. We needed to keep active, so we decided to experiment with a new way of delivering content.
Our first move was to release the story a page a week on my personal website (www.jamesmaddox.net), but after that showed some success, we moved it to its own domain (www.thedeadcomic.net). After we were about three issues in, we submitted to ComiXology, and that's when things started to get interesting.
ComiXology opened us up to a wider readership. After the second issue went up on ComiXology, the reviews from readers and critics continued to be favorable, so Jen and I committed ourselves to bringing THE DEAD to print. To do that, we turned to Kickstarter.
The Kickstarter campaign we ran for DEAD was pretty meager. We wanted to raise $4,000 to cover production and print costs. We didn't know what kind of reception to expect, but when the campaign was fully funded in six days, we were floored. Then even more attention was heaved our way.
Readers, reviewers and podcasters started placing a spotlight on our story and even more backers pledged to the campaign. We even received nods from professional creators like Mike Carey and Robert Venditti that helped us gain the readers of mainstream titles like Lucifer, The Unwritten, and Surrogates.
As the readership grew, I suddenly realized that explaining how THE DEAD was not another zombie comic was happening a lot less. Instead, people were starting to hear about this weird tale of monsters and rooms, and they were curious about it.
By the time our Kickstarter campaign ended, we'd raised over $9,200 (230% of our funding goal) and THE DEAD had received a huge boost. Now all that's left is to complete the story, print the books, and see how people react.
DUSTIN: How did you two end up working with each other?
JEN: Baltimore Comic Con 2012. It was my very first convention ever, and I was sharing a table in the Artist Alley and learning how comic book conventions work. James came by and we did the whole business card swappy thing, then decided to work on a pitch together. That was THE DEAD, of course, and publishers didn't bite at the project like we hoped they would... or at all. But by that point I was quite attached to the story, so when James suggested we self-publish the thing, I was all for it.
DUSTIN: What's the collaboration like? Is it just James writes, Jen illustrates or is there more of a collaborative effort?
JAMES: I love collaborating. It's what keeps me coming back to writing comics. The right creative team can create something amazing and poignant and fun. Because of that, I'm so happy to be working with Jen, because she's willing to go back and forth with concepts and approaches to the character and the story.
Also, Jen knows how a good story plays out and will speak up when she feels something's missing. You couldn't ask for a better collaborator than someone who trusts that you have a plan while looking out for ways to make the overall product better.
JEN: It's mainly the former. Occasionally I'll find a bit of writing that doesn't sit right, and we'll talk and get it fixed. And occasionally I'll send a rough page over and James will find something that isn't quite working, so I'll try another tack.
DUSTIN: In regards to the story it makes a lot of reference to the house prior to Sam's arrival; will the story ever fully reveal that time or is just a way to show the history of the house?
JAMES: I definitely drop hints and references to how the House came to be, and by the closing of these six issues, the readers will have a better understanding of what the House is and how it was created. Plus, thanks to the Kickstarter stretch goal, I'm thinking we'll have a good prologue that will help us to explore more of that side of the story, as well.
DUSTIN: How long do you see the series running?
JAMES: The plan is to have our main story run six issues. That will present the tale I'd hoped to produce, but the cool thing about THE DEAD is that it's an infinite premise story. Because of the varied settings and characters, we could literally put together any kind of story that strikes our fancy, so if the House comes calling for us to revisit it, we'll always have that option.
DUSTIN: I'm assuming Jen comes up with all the character designs (if I'm wrong please correct me), but where do you draw inspiration for them?
JEN: This area is pretty collaborative. James usually has some clear jump off points for most of the cast, which sends me off in the right direction.
THE DEAD is unusual in that the characters don't necessarily come from the same world. James has done a great job of coming up with a truly disjointed cast, which is one of the things I like about the story. It means that my research is really varied. Sometimes I'm looking at Victorian post-mortem photos, other times I'm scouring LookBook. But for me it's always a process of gathering research/reference materials, then picking elements from the research that will work well for the character. And I try to make sure that each character has something distinct to them, so if you see them in silhouette you'll know who they are. Even though they all come from different eras and walks of, erm, post-life, they do need to fit with each other in that aspect.
DUSTIN: Another one for Jen mostly, what's your approach to coloring the world? How do you keep it vibrant and yet eerie?
JEN: I try to think about the emotion of the scene before I think about anything else. Color can impact the emotional timbre of a scene in the same way that a soundtrack can set the tone in a movie. And, good news! A lot of the emotional impact (especially for new rooms in the house!) comes from how dang eerie the place is.
DUSTIN: Is there something you can tease that's coming to the series soon?
JAMES: As far as THE DEAD is concerned, we don't have any new announcements, but Jen and I are working up some fun things for the future! Stick with us, and we'll continue to deliver the goods.
A big thank you to James Maddox and Jen Hickman for taking the time to talk to me about The Dead. Be sure to check the series out at www.thedeadcomic.net or pick up the book on Comixology.

This beautiful silk fabric was part of an unfinished furisode kimono. The furisode kimono is traditionally worn by young, unmarried women and is one of the most beautiful and decorated kimono. This silk was basted together into the kimono form but was not finished. Because of this the fabric has tiny pinholes and creases. There are also small notation marks along the selvage. These marks were made by the seamstress and are only on the selvage and should not affect how the silk can be used. These marks do not extend more than .5 inches (1.3cm) from the selvage.
These silk panels are perfect for creating home accessories, formal wraps or even quilts.
** This panel is in excellent condition but there are some flaws. Please read the description carefully to learn about these flaws **
This fabric was a body panel of the kimono. It went up one side of the front of the kimono, over the shoulder and down the back. The entire panel is about 153 inches (389cm) long x about 15.25 inches (39 cm) wide. This panel has no cuts in it (as many panels from finished kimono often do). Please note that the designs do not face all the same direction. All designs are printed so that they are facing the correct direction when the center of the panel is placed on the shoulder.
The entire panel is seen in photos 2 through 5. The panel was too long to fit into one photo.
The panel is a deep indigo color. This indigo blue color has deep violet undertones that are more or less noticeable depending on the light. Sections of the panel have a printed pattern of yellow, sky blue, pink and light green sakura (cherry blossoms) blossoms and petals. The non-printed areas of the panel are the solid blue indigo color.
Photo 2 shows the first printed section of the panel. This area starts about 6 inches (15.2cm) from the end of the panel. The printed area is about 15 inches long (38 cm) and features printed sakura and dyed areas in hues of aqua and lavender-mauve. I did not see any flaws on this section. A close up of this section can be seen in the 6th photo.
After this printed area is about 36 inches (91.4cm) of solid blue indigo colored silk.
Photo 3 and 4 shows the second printed area. This printed area is about 22 inches (55.9cm) long.
**This area has one flaw that can be seen in the 4th and 7th photos. ** Due to exposure to the light the silk has changed color creating a darker line across the fabric about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) above the top-most yellow sakura blossom. A close up of this can be seen in photo 7. This darker line extends across the panel width.
This printed area is followed by about 55 inches (139.7cm) of solid blue indigo colored silk.
Photo 4 shows the last printed area. This area is about 13 inches (33cm) long. **Due to exposure to the light the silk has changed color at a crease line** This can be seen Photo 8. The most noticeable color change is pointed out by the arrow.
This last printed area is following by about 12 inches (30.5cm) of solid blue colored silk.
This is a rinzu (damask) chirimen style silk that has a subtle sheen and a wonderful texture. When the light reflects off the silk a woven pattern of sakura blossoms and petals can be seen. This silk is of medium weight and has a slightly fluid drape. The printed portion of the panel has a slightly stiffer drape.
The last photo shows the color of the silk most accurately. Crayola brand crayons were placed in the photo for color comparison.
I also have a matching sleeve panel available for purchase here:
I believe that the pictures show a good representation of the fabric colors however, please remember that colors may look different on your monitor. This is a vintage fabric so there may be small blemishes or marks in addition to those noted in the description. This fabric has not been laundered so it could have a slight storage smell, although I do not note any.

Two-tailed Swallowtail Butterfly — Digital Painting by kenne
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart —
Try to love the questions themselves.
Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given
Because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is . . . To live everything.
Live the question now.
Perhaps you will then gradually (without noticing it)
Live along some distant day into the answer."

Hi all,
The WP Codex states that only one password is stored when you password protect a post or page. I'm looking for a plug-in or hack which allows me to store more than one password.
"What are you doing this for?"
I want to allow certain paid users to view data results on a protected page, but if they stop their recurring payment I will delete their password. There will never be more than 30 users who need to access this page. I'm trying to keep this independent of the Membership plug-in since I will be running that as well and don't create another member type for this purpose.
All suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Victoria Highlanders FC defender Callum Montgomery is officially on the Premier Development League's radar early in the 2017 season. The Victoria native, who competes for NCAA Division 1's UNC-Charlotte south of the border, is ranked at No. 18 on the leagues Top-50 list, released Monday.
It's the second time Montgomery has made headlines this season, after receiving a Team of the Week selection following the Highlanders Season Opener versus Lane United on May 14.
A total of 24 scouts across North America, including coaching directors, technical directors and head coaches, provide the PDL with valuable insight on the top Under-23 performers in the league throughout the season. The Top Prospects list, which serves as a resource for professional clubs who are interested in identifying and scouting high-level players, ranks players based on their performance within the PDL, their technical and tactical qualities and their potential to play at the professional level.
Since its creation in 2015, the USL Scouting Network has identified numerous standout performers within the league before they made their first professional debuts. Philadelphia Union defender Keegan Rosenberry finished the 2015 PDL season ranked No. 1 on the Top Prospects list, while standout forward Christian Chaney finished the 2016 PDL season ranked No. 1 before signing a professional contract with the United Soccer League's Sacramento Republic FC. More than 370 PDL alumni are registered in the USL, while more than 220 players are on 2017 MLS rosters.
