There's dumb and then there's knowingly-misleading. This last piece is the latter:
The Obama administration is in a difficult spot. It's now obvious that the stimulus was much too small; yet there's virtually no chance of getting additional measures out of Congress. The administration has chosen to deal with this by trying to have it both ways — condemning Republicans, rightly, for obstructionism, while at the same time claiming, falsely, that we're still on the right track.
The Obama administration is in a tough spot of its own making.
The "stimulus" was never going to work: it couldn't, mathematically.
Why not? Because of this ugly little reality:
I don't know how much larger one could have made the so-called "stimulus." But just as in 2003 it failed to produce lasting prosperity or turn around the economy because the Ponzi Economic "pull forward" on demand (via increased credit) had hit the wall.
That's the ultimate failure of all of these so-called "economists." They simply disregard debt – on purpose.
This is idiotic, and worse, it's intentionally misleading. Anyone with half a brain knows that debt has to be repaid, and that if you have an economic system with $100 in currency and yet permit someone to loan what part of it they have at interest it is inevitable that the interest will ultimately consume all of the $100!
The answer to that is usually "emit more currency!" Yet this leads to a second conundrum – one can only emit more credit or currency (both spend the same) at a rate that matches growth in output, lest you get inflation. Inflation means that you really didn't accomplish anything, as while there are more units of currency (and/or credit) available in the economy each one purchases fewer goods or services.
The only way to prevent this from happening is to accept periodic recessions in which both borrowers and lenders who take and make the weakest loans fail and go bankrupt.
That causes the credit and debt (remember, credit and debt are the counter-balancing entries on both sides of the balance sheet) to be removed – and balance restored.
Recessions are particularly hard on creditors that loaned capital unsecured, as they take actual uncompensated losses. Those who loaned capital in a secured fashion get the collateral, which may adjust in price downward to it's actual value, but it doesn't go to zero. The unsecured lender, on the other hand, is faced with a complete loss.
The feedback mechanism (losses suck!) cause lenders to increase the price of capital – that is, the interest they demand. This in turn causes people to be more adverse to taking out credit for anything other than productive purposes – that is, to speculate or consume.
Through this natural set of feedback mechanisms (known as economic pain by those who experience it) the market works to restore balance – and protect the monetary system as a whole.
Government interference with this process always introduces undesirable distortions. By picking winners and losers government causes misallocation of capital – that is, it subsidizes losing behavior. By preventing fools from suffering their economic fate, government suppresses rates of interest charged for capital, which inevitably leads to negative real rates and thus speculative asset bubbles (after all, if you're going to get paid to borrow, you will borrow as much as you possibly can!)
But far worse is the refusal to recognize that absolutely nothing the government does produces anything. That is, government can redistribute a unit of currency (or credit) from Joe to Jane, but government in doing so does not and will not cause more units of currency in terms of output to be produced on a sustainable basis.
Each dollar Jane gets from government (and spends, saves or invests) Joe no longer has, as it was taxed away from him, or it was borrowed in furtherance of a Ponzi Scheme as the below charts will show. In neither case did government increase the wealth of the nation – it shifted it from one hand to another.
That is, at best government can send a false demand signal into the market. If this becomes engrained in the economy it then creates a structural deficit which is nearly-impossible to remove, because if the government stops doing so then the recession or depression it was trying to "cover up" immediately re-asserts itself.
This is what happened in 2003. Now we're doing it again, writ large at 300% of the former size. We've gone from embedding a recession into structural deficits to embedding a depression into them.
That path inexorably will lead to a bond market revolt. Perhaps not today, or tomorrow, but with absolute certainty it will occur. Organic GDP is contracting, not expanding, and eventually those who loan capital to the US Government (that's us in the end – by buying goods and services which then are recycled into Treasuries!) will deduce that we're getting a poor return on our investment.
The expansion of a credit bubble depends on ever-increasing borrowing across the entire economy, with ever-larger parts of it going to speculation and consumption. This creates an effective naked short on the currency. The first bits of this feel like "prosperity for free" (rather than for hard work.)
All Ponzi Schemes have at their core the fundamental mathematical precept of exponents. That is, the growth of the scheme requires ever-greater numbers of "things" (people, credit dollars, etc) to participate, because the exponential function of growth lags the exponential function of cost.
While the gap is both small and appears "painless" at first, it is that very seductive beginning that makes such schemes so dangerous, as the below chart shows:
Compare against:
The problem with trying to continue the series is that, as you can see in the actual chart, the level of debt has topped out – despite the government's hellbent-attempt to goad continued expansion by running huge deficits. Now let's extend that theoretical debt chart another 20 years.
Oh, incidentally, the actual debt-to-gdp spread is about 3% and has been since the 1950s without much variation, so put the expected "real" results smack-dab between those two curves. Worse, GDP expansion has contracted from nearly 7% annualized to just over 5% since 2000 onward as the ever-greater amount of debt service has weighed on the economy.
While one never knows in advance exactly how far such an exponential spread will go before it collapses, this is exactly what all Ponzi Schemes look like when graphed mathematically, and is why they always collapse.
When the scheme is early in its run everyone thinks that it will be no big deal, because at the time it isn't. But when it gets later on everyone is terrified at the prospect of accepting the losses that must be taken, because they've gotten so large.
The error in this thinking is that those losses will continue to grow exponentially so long as the spread is maintained, and while narrowing the spread will help, it won't stop the accumulation of damage. Only accepting the hit stops the accumulation.
In this case we're now to the point where restoring fiscal balance across the credit system requires a roughly 60% contraction in both outstanding credit and the size of the Federal Government (in terms of dollars.) That in turn will contract GDP by 40%.
I understand this sort of prescription is considered politically unacceptable.
But math doesn't care about politics. It simply accumulates more damage, day by day, until we accept the math – and the truth. The gap has reached a size that is mathematically impossible to grow out of through expansion of GDP.
Once we accept the math – and the damage – we must demand that credit and monetary aggregates be strictly tied to GDP in the future to prevent this from happening again. The Federal Reserve Act contains the necessary stricture, but no punishment for violations – and violate they have over the last sixty years. We must add the missing "or else" and expose all credit, monetary and price aggregates in the economy so as to monitor The Fed's performance – and if necessary, jail them if they continue to offend.
We either accept the math and the damage that must be taken through our economy or we will suffer a political and economic collapse.
Those are the only options folks – we argue only "when", not "what."
It's the math.

He crossed the line in driving rain in a time of 44:29. Second went to Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) who was 58 seconds slower, with Damiano Caruso (Cannondale) third at 1:20 down, write cyclingnews.com.
Nibali's two closest rivals, Cadel Evans (BMC) and Rigoberto Uran (Sky) lost significant time to Nibali on the climb against the clock.
Uran hit the line in a time of 45:55, giving him sixth on the day. Evans was even further behind, crossing over in only 47:05, for 25th.
The overall lead for Nibali jumped dramatically, as Evans remains in second place but is now 4:02 down. Uran is also still in third, at 4:12, moving dangerously close to the Australian.
Good weather ruled again, as the peloton took on the Giro d'Italia mountain time trial. Rafael Andriato of Vini Fantini was the first man down the ramp at 1:13pm. Rider after rider followed at one minute intervals.
Steve Cummings of BMC Racing was the 17th man to go, and put in a best time of 47:08 at the finish. He sat in the hot seat for quite a while, until Eros Capecchi (Movistar) bounced him by 13 seconds.
The Italian didn't stay there long, though, as Dario Cataldo of Team Sky came in 45 seconds faster. He, too, had to leave the hot seat soon, as Stef Clement (Blanco) proved to be five seconds quicker at 46:05.
Ultimately it was Damiano Caruso (Cannondale) who first broke the 46 minute mark, coming in at 45:49. The rain had started at the finish by the time Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) approached the line, coming in 22 seconds faster to take the lead with a time of 45:27.
As expected, the fireworks started as the favourites took to the course, unfortunately fighting rain most of the way. Rafal Majka of Saxo Bank fought hard rain at the finish to put in the third best time.
Nibali flew up the first part of the course, setting the best time of 20:29 at the 9.5km intermediate time check. Michele Scarponi (Lampre-Merida) was only able to cross 31 seconds faster, as the second best at that point. The biggest surprises were Rigoberto Uran (Sky), who was 1:19 down at that point, and Cadel Evans (BMC), who was over a minute and a half down.
Those gaps continued as the favourites went up in the by-now constant rain. Nibali didn't let up at all, and it even appeared at one point that he would catch Evans, his three-minute man near the finish. Uran fought on bravely and finished in the top ten for the day, but Evans continued to struggle and lose time on the second half of the course.

A Dog's Amazing Will to Survive
In what many people are calling a miracle, a little 12-year-old poodle named Michou, survived 19 days locked in a van at Burlington airport without food or water in often sub-zero temperatures.
On January 6, someone passing by the parked van noticed a stench coming from the parked van and called authorities and Animal Control Officer Jodi Harvey went to the scene and forced open the door.
The little poodle, Michou, was laying on a pile of blankets, so weak he could hardly even lift his head.
"It was unbearable," she says, recalling an interior soiled with excrement. "I wear a turtleneck, and I had to pull it up over my nose."
Harvey knew she had to get him to a vet and quick. Michou weighed almost 25 lbs. before his harrowing ordeal and when he was found he barely weighed 9 lbs.
Even now, almost a week later, he is still listed as critical but his survival at all is being called a miracle. He's under vet care being treated with intravenous fluids and small amounts of food. He's getting his spunk back and is expected to make a full recovery but it will take time, perhaps months before he he can be adopted.
As how did this little miracle dog wound up in a situation like this? As hard as it is to believe, authorities believe it was an accident. Somehow his owner, Pascal Bellon, 50, of Frelighsburg, Quebec, either didn't realized or forgot Michou was in the van when he left for an extended trip from the airport on December 18. I am not sure how someone doesn't know or forgets they have their dog in their vehicle but that's the story. He didn't know the dog was in the van and his wife back home thought Michou had run off.
"They have multiple pets, and this one became unaccounted for at some point, and they believed he had run off," police spokeswoman Lt. Jennifer Morrison says. "There's no indication this was anything but an accidental near-tragedy."
"Everything we've got points to it being unintentional," said Morrison. "We don't know how or when the dog got into the car, but we do believe that the owner was not aware that this dog was in the vehicle at the time he grabbed his bags and went."
Bellon isn't being charged but he was issued a ticket, a $100 fine. He surrendered Michou and has agreed to pay all the vets bills.
I guess we should be happy that Michou was found in time and will survive and that he is no longer in the hands of someone who could take so little notice of him or forget him so easily, or whatever the story is. For Michou, this story really will have a happy ending as he will recovery and once recovered will most likely be adopted into a loving forever home.

The upcoming, serial killer thriller The Frozen Ground is an interesting situation. By rights, it has all the makings of being an excellent, gripping thriller, and that whole being based on a true story thing is usually a magnet for audiences. And it's cast some heavyweights in the two main roles in and ; despite some highly questionable career choices for each in the past few years, still, we're talking about Oscar winner Cage and the continually underappreciated Cusack. This seems poised to be the film that reminds audiences, oh yeah, these guys are pretty damn good at what they do.
So the decision to only give it a limited theatrical release and ship the rest off to VOD is a curious one, and makes you wonder if there are some inherent flaws with the film that aren't showing up in the trailers, or if studios just aren't entirely certain the combined draw of Cage and Cusack is enough to lure audiences to theaters.
Regardless, the world at large got a new international trailer and the UK a new quad poster for the film, and I see nothing about either that explains why this film isn't generating more buzz:
Granted, that trailer doesn't give away much, so here, have a summary:
Alaskan detective Glenn Flothe (Cage) sets out to end the murderous rampage of Robert Hansen (Cusack), a serial killer who has gone unnoticed for 13 years. As the bodies of street girls start to add up in Anchorage, fear strikes a chord with the public. Risking his life, Detective Flothe goes on a personal manhunt to find the killer before the next body surfaces. When a seventeen year old escapee reveals key information about the case, Flothe is finally able to trail the killer. But will he catch him in time to save the next victim?

I give a lot of workshops on the use of clickers and peer instruction to improve student engagement and deep learning. I just found out about one more useful place to get good question items.
Quick background information — I promote the use of clickers to help facilitate getting students to discuss and argue through difficult conceptual questions as a way to learn and engage with the content more deeply. We have a website devoted to clicker resources, including useful literature and question banks, as well as videos showing how it works in the classroom. Here's one of those videos:
One of the things that instructors ask me is about where to get good questions. I point them to the clicker resource page that I mention above, and I also give them a handout on Bloom's Taxonomy that I use all the time. Got a fact-based question and want to make it deeper? That handout has lots of handy verbs to get you started in writing different kinds of clicker questions. Note that you can download all my workshop materials for teaching about clicker use on our new handy-dandy website cataloging those. Please just give attribution!
So, I was just pointed towards one more particularly handy resource for writing questions based on common student difficulties — the AAAS Science Assessment page (tip o' the hat to Marc Kossover). They've got assessments in life science, physical science, earth science and nature of science. He says:
Ever wonder what your students (or you) know before you teach a topic? This site is for you. It includes thousands of carefully worded and illustrated questions organized into topics and subtopics that will let you put together solid diagnostics. Of course, they give the answers, but they also connect some of the wrong answers to particular misconceptions so you know where to focus.
They also show how many people chose each answer and some demographic data.
The questions aren't super secure, so I wouldn't use them for take home materials. Still, super cool.
Just looking through it, it seems that this would be great for middle school through intro college. Lots of high schoolers come out with misconceptions about these ideas, so pinging your intro college crowd with them when starting a topic will be useful formative assessment.
For example, under Physical Science, if I click on Force and Motion and choose the topic, "A force is a push or a pull between two objects," I can then choose to explore sub-topics, student performance, or misconceptions. For example, only 21% of high school students correctly answer that when an object is shoved, it does not acquire that force (ie., that the force only lasts as long as the object is being shoved). If I click on the item number, it gives me a multiple choice question that was used to assess hit (BINGO! A great clicker question!), and I can click to add it to my question bank. So, you can end up with a nice little set of useful questions by the time you finish exploring the site.
How useful is THAT!?

ROYAL Descent is great value to beat the headline horses Carlton House, It's A Dundeel and Silent Achiever, in today's $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick.
The Chris Waller-trained mare, currently at $9 on NSW TAB Fixed Odds, overcame a tough wide run to finish a gallant second to Sacred Falls in last week's $3 million Doncaster over 1600m and today's step up to 2000m should be ideal. Don't forget her fabulous 10-length win in last year's Oaks was over 2400m.
Of the favoured runners I like the in-form Kiwi Silent Achiever, but I wonder if all of these boom horses are going quite as well as we think.
Race 1 (12.10pm)
Betting: $2.30 Veuvelicious, $4.20 Careless, $6 Standoubt, Khrysler, $9.50 Gouldian
Comment: Veuvelicious could not get in from her barrier last run, but finished the race off exceptionally well. From barrier one she will be a lot closer, possibly following likely leader Cyclone. Khrysler and Careless go OK, but both finished behind Veuvelicious last run. Standoubt and Gouldian both ran on well in a lower standard midweek race and will appreciate 1600m.
Bet: 1 Veuvelicious
Exotics: Quinella 1 Veuvelicious, 5 Khrysler
Race 2 (12.45pm)
Betting: $3.80 Woodbine, $4.40 Longma, $6 Fast 'N' Rocking, Engagement, $8 Beauty's Beast
Comment: Sometimes NZ form holds up, sometimes not, but Beauty's Best with four wins and two seconds in eight runs has not come here for the scenery. Gai Waterhouse holds a strong hand with Woodbine (good runs in good class) and Longma (eye catcher first-up at W. Farm). Engagement is in form and honest and Fast'N'Rocking is hard to catch, but has ability. Papillon Rouge can surprise.
Bet: 5 Beauty's Beast
Exotics: Box trifecta 3 Woodbine, 4 Engagement, 5 Beauty's Beast, 7 Papillon Rouge
Race 3 (1.20pm)
Betting: $4.60 Memorial, Shaumari, $7 Oakleigh Girl, $8 Ygritte, Amicus
Comment: Did Kerrin McEvoy have his pick between the two favourites? He is on the hugely impressive midweek winner Shaumari and C. Reith retains the ride on Memorial who was a super fifth in the Slipper. Oakleigh Girl also turned in a top Slipper run and was first-up. Ygritte has a top run behind Mossfun, Clifton Red has beaten Ygritte, Amicus and Sultry Feeling are improvers.
Bet: 4 Memorial
Exotics: Box trifecta 4 Memorial, 5 Ygrite, 6 Sultry Feeling, 8 Shaumari
Race 4 (1.55pm)
Betting: $3.80 Sidestep, $4.40 Chautauqua, $5 Bounding, $11 Safeguard, Thump
Comment: Bounding's NZ Form (7 wins, 3 seconds in 10 starts) is top grade and I think she can beat these despite the wide draw. She has pace and should be up there with Thump and Turquoise King. Sidestep has gone up a level and his last win was good while his stablemate Safeguard is three from three first-up. Chautauqua, unlucky at Gosford, and Thump round out the chances.
Bet: 11 Bounding
Exotics: Box trifecta 1 Sidestep, 2 Safeguard, 10 Thump, 11 Bounding
Race 5 (2.30pm)
Betting: $2.90 Catkins, $3.80 Red Tracer, $6 Solicit, $6.50 Gypsy Diamond, $12 Viadana
Comment: Red Tracer nosed out Catkins under the same conditions in the Myer at Flemington in November. Catkins could be going better now while Red Tracer has great will to win. Solicit should lead, is classy and 1600m is about ideal for her while Gypsy Diamond is flying and her win last week was eye-catching. Viadana, from NZ, has won G2 then G1 at last two.
Bet: 1 Red Tracer
Exotics: Box trifecta 1 Red Tracer, 3 Catkins, 4 Viadana, 9 Solicit
Race 6 (3.05pm)
Betting: $2.50 Lucia Valentina, $4.60 Zanbagh, $6 Rising Romance, $11 Suavito, $15 Missvonn
Comment: Lucia Valentina's win in the G1 Vinery was fabulous despite the ground she saved on the turn and she is strong and is the big improver. Zanbagh is back to racing plates after wearing bar plates in that race, she will relish the 2400m and her other form is tip top. Rising Romance, second in NZ Derby, went well in Vinery and is a top hope and Missvonn will keep coming in the straight.
Bet: 1 Zanbagh
Exotics: Box trifecta 1 Zanbagh, 2 Lucia Valentina, 3 Rising Romance, 12 Missvonn
Race 7 (3.45pm)
Betting: $2.80 The Offer, $6 Who Shot Thebarman, $9 Sertorious, $10 Voleuse De Coeurs
Comment: The Offer is a superior heavy track horse and if he handles the better conditions is going to take a lot of holding out. Who Shot Thebarman (9 runs 6 wins) only beat Celtic Prince (an ordinary Aussie) in his Auckland Cup win. Sertorious, Voleuse De Coeurs and Brigantin all ran well in BMW and Brigantin is crying out for this trip. Tupac Amaru has to be in the mix on his Derby run.
Bet: 4 The Offer
Exotics: Quinella 4 The Offer, 5 Brigantin
Race 8 (4.25pm)
Betting: $3.80 It's A Dundeel, $4.20 Carlton House, $4.60 Silent Achiever, $9 Royal Descent
Comment: Will Carlton House get a soft lead and sprint home or will pressure be placed on him to make it more of a staying test? The answer could tell us the winner. It's A Dundeel, from one alley, won't get as far back, Silent Achiever is at the top of her game with super G1 form, Royal Descent and Sacred Falls were terrific in the Doncaster and Boban and Hawkspur have to be included.
Bet: 11 Royal Descent
Exotics: Box trifecta 2 It's A Dundeel, 6 Hawkspur, 10 Silent Achiever, 11 Royal Descent
Race 9 (5.05pm)
Betting: $4.20 Plucky Belle, $4.60 Peron, $6 Dystopia, $8 Lilliburlero, $9.50 Avoid Lightning
Comment: Speed should be on with Cosmic Endeavour and Shahad scooting along. Peron is a quality mare, who goes great first-up and looks to have been set for this race. Dystopia also sprints well fresh and is right in it and Plucky Belle, on the up, should have won when second to Avolid Lightning at Rosehill. Lilliburlero is in the mix, but could be better early in a preparation.
Bet: 7 Peron
Exotics: Box trifecta 1 Dystopia, 2 Avoid Lightning, 5 Plucky Belle, 7 Peron
BEST BET: Veuvelicious
VALUE: Royal Descent
Murray Baker's NZ champ It's A Dundeel is all the rage for the QE II Stakes and is now a clear cut favourite at $3.80 with TAB Fixed Odds.
Have bookies overreacted to the team Hawkes factor in having Chautauqua so short in the Royal Sovereign? He has only won a Geelong maiden.
Master two-year-old trainer Gerald Ryan might surprise with Aerobar in the Randwick Stakes. She has had no luck at all in her last two runs.
Sydney Cup hope Brigantin caught the eye behind the stars in the BMW and has won over 3000m and 3100m in Europe.

It's been some time since I've actually done anything on here and found I'm still getting followers (Thanks a lot ;D ) so I thought I'd better give them something to look at.
Whilst I wanted to do something completely different media wise, all I have at hand is the same old pixel program so I though what the heck "Stick to what you're good (ok) at!"
I've wanted to do something with two piece bands since the beginning because strangely enough I listen to a lot of them so I've created about 5 Images of 5 famous (mostly) musical duos. Enjoy
I made this in the style of their look around 2003/2004 because I that's probably my favourite period with the release of the album 'Elephant'. The 1st record I ever bought was the single 'Hardest Button To Button' from the same album and was what inspired me to learn guitar. 10 years later and I'm still listening to them and still playing guitar!
(...Holy sh*t 10 years!)
Death From Above 1979 are also a huge inspiration to me and I've been lucky enough to see them live. This was inspired by a photo of them after they reformed sporting a kind of "Ying Yang" look.
Inspired by their more recent look. I found out about these guys a year or so before they got really big because I was look for some Two-Piece bands for inspiriation for a band of my own, so glad I found them and that they're big, they deserve it! Another band that inspire me greatly.
Blood Red Shoes are another duo I found when looking for Two-Piece bands.
Funnily enough the 1st time I tried pixel art was when making some artwork for the two-piece band I made after finding all these bands... maybe I'll upload that?
P.s. Laura-May Carter is pretty damn hot! Even without a guitar in her hands!
Hopefully I dont have to say anything about these guys!
Daft Punk are literally the only musicians in the world that NO-ONE hates! Probably because they're robots, everyone likes robots, and funkalicious music for that matter! This one was inspired by their latest success R.A.M (Random Access Memory) where they don sequin jackets and diamond covered boots.
These are the only Duos I can think of for now but as soon as I think of some I'll add them!
Thanks for having a look!!
Thank You!

When accelerating the car does not shift properly into the next gear. It only shifts when you lift off the gas - but then if you hit the gas again it will shift down again. Car will not accelerate over a maximium of 40 miles per hour because it keeps shifting down.
Any ideas?

A day at the spa can be just what the doctor ordered after a particularly stressful week at the office. If you don't have a ton of money to drop at a spa, though, this can cause more stress. Never fear, because you can get a lot of the same treatments at home for very little money if you're willing to perform these services yourself.
Nothing makes you feel prettier than having your nails painted perfectly. A spa manicure and pedicure is even better because you leave with hands and feet feeling as smooth as a baby's bottom. You can get this feeling at home, too. Just rub a little bit of your favorite oil or Vaseline onto your hands and feet. Cover them with gloves and socks and let them sit for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. When you take the socks and gloves off, your feet will be unbelievably soft. Get that perfect nail polish look by buying stick-on nail polish. It's easy to use, and won't leave a mess around your fingernail.
Facials are great for cleansing your pores and toning your skin. Make your own facials for a variety of purposes and apply them in the comfort of your own home. For treating acne scars, mix some lemon juice with honey, plain yogurt, and an egg white. Spread this over your face and let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse it off. Using skim milk powder as a face wash is a gentle way to promote smooth, silky skin. Honey and olive oil mixed together also make a great moisturizer for your face.Impact crusher:http://www.crusher-machine.com/2.html

Sick Days
The Vermont Paid Sick Days Coalition worked to pass Vermont's Healthy Workplaces Law in 2016. The law permits employees in Vermont to earn up to 3 days of sick leave per year, increasing to 5 days per year by 2019. Since the law's passage, Main Street Alliance of Vermont has been working to provide support to Vermont small businesses for implementation of the new law.
Paid Family Leave
Main Street Alliance of Vermont is leading the VT Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FaMLI) Campaign, which is working to create a statewide insurance program that would cover up to 12 weeks of family or medical leave. More than 25 statewide advocacy organizations comprise the VT FaMLI Coalition, and a coalition-supported bill is making its way through Vermont's House of Representatives with tri-partisan support and more than 50 cosponsors. A statewide family and medical leave insurance program will enable Vermont's families to take the time they need, and it will help Vermont small business better compete in attracting and retaining employees, which will grow a healthy Vermont economy.

For those of you who don't like the idea of going to a salon to get rid of stray hairs down there, this is a great solution. It works quite well at getting hairs out, but I have had an issue with some bumps afterward on certain occasions. I feel the hair does start to grow back a bit quickly, but I do usually forget to use the "slow grow" cream that comes with the kit. It definitely does the trick and is much less painful than I thought it would be. It comes with applicators, pre-epilation oil, pre-hon, slow grow, and wax off. It's a hard wax so you don't need to worry about buying any muslin strips.
Tired of paying a lot of money to get brazilians on a regular basis, I decided to tough it out and do it on my own with this kit. This kit has a pre-cleanser, pre-epilation oil, microwaveable wax (you don't need muslin strips), wax remover, and an after treatment moisturizer to slow hair growth. Doing it myself was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be - and the results were just as fantastic. This kit would last you at least 5 applications. That would cost me around 5-7$ for a brazilian, compared to 40$+tip at a salon.
If you're getting a brazilian for the first time, you should seek a professional first before trying this at home. Successful results dependent on individual's flexibility and tolerance for pain.

Excerpts from
Dynamic Thought
Henry Thomas Hamblin
Order in Adobe PDF eBook or
printed form for $9.95 (+ printing charge)
Another word for "unbounded confidence" is "faith." Every successful man is a confident man. He believes wholeheartedly in his own power to succeed. This is not vanity or being too "cock-sure," instead it is either conscious, or unconscious, or subconscious realization of the Inward Power. This is why so few men are really successful, so few men ever arouse the mighty powers that are within them, so few men think the kind of thoughts that bring these powers into life and action.
Every successful man is a man of "faith," every successful man is a man who cultivates "hope." A successful man is always hopeful, is never a pessimist and he brings that which he hopes for, into being and reality, by the strength of his faith.
Therefore I want you first of all to cultivate Hope and Faith for without those qualities no one, no matter how gifted or clever, can ever succeed.
That you have these two qualities is proved by the fact that you are reading this Course. You have had the hope of winning your way to a life of Success, and Power, and you have had the Faith to believe that within you are the powers and forces which make this possible. Without Hope a man is as good as dead, without Faith he is like a rudderless ship drifting hither and thither with every wind and current. On the other hand all things are possible to the man who has both these qualities.
Cast your eyes over the lives of all men of great achievement, and you will see that they were all animated by Hope and sustained by Faith. They hoped for success and believed that they had it in them to achieve that success. In their darkest hours they hoped on, believing that soon the reaction would come, which would carry them on to the accomplishment of their ambitions. Nothing has ever yet been accomplished by man on this planet without the inspiration of Hope and the tenacity of Faith. Hope reaches forward and claims success, faith holds on until success is attained. Therefore seek to develop these qualities to their fullest extent.
It is a well known fact that when a man turns his face round and determines to fight his way to success, or to overcome evil habit, or to raise himself in any way either mentally, morally, physically or spiritually, then everything seems to happen to thwart his new intention and to throttle his new desires. So long as he goes on in his old way, drifting with the tide, floating about helplessly, the sport of fate and the prey of outside circumstances, so long as this goes on, nothing unusual happens. But directly a start is made in an upward direction, then all kinds of psychic powers seem to be let loose, whose object appears to be to prevent the student from making any progress in his new life.
When a man realizes his own interior powers and understands the vastness and wonder of his subliminal forces, and determines to make use of them, and thus become a king among men instead of a slave, then such a disturbance takes place that unless he possesses Hope and Faith he will be tempted to turn his back on the new life and to sink back again into the old sluggish drifting existence, which leads to disappointment and despair.
Those people variously known as Christian Scientists, Mental Scientists, Spiritual Scientists, etc. (no matter what they call themselves, they all deal with the powers of the mind) all experience the same thing. Even the health is affected in a curious way, friends are peevish and irritable, little things go wrong in business, and generally one is out of sorts and all things awry.
When this experience comes to one, then is the time to exercise Hope and Faith. First of all remember that the condition is only temporary. After a few days, in some cases it may be weeks, the health will improve, friends will become genial and harmony will again reign in your life. When the entities that cause the disturbance realize that you mean to keep on, and that you cannot be bullied into going back to the old life, they will quickly leave you. In any case there is nothing to be afraid of, because these entities are helpless if one does not fear them. In other words, if you have Hope and Faith you can win through. Hope for better times although the present may be discouraging. Faith in the sure belief that soon all the disagreeable symptoms will disappear.
Take encouragement from the fact that this disturbance in your life proves that vital changes are taking place within, that the vast powers of your subliminal mind are beginning to awaken, and that the entities of your old erroneous beliefs and habits are taking their departure.
Believe now that you can conquer and win through, and you will conquer and win through. What you believe you can do, you can do, because all power is within you. There is nothing in all the world that can stop you, except your own doubt and fear.
I want you to trust me to the extent of doing something, the underlying principle of which cannot be explained in this first lesson. I want you to make what is known as an "affirmation," I want you to affirm the following: "THE OLD LIFE IS DEAD AND BURIED. I HAVE SEVERED MYSELF FROM IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. HENCEFORTH I LIVE THE NEW LIFE OF SUCCESS AND POWER, OF SELF-MASTERY AND ALL ACCOMPLISHMENT."
First of all memorize these words. Keep repeating them over until they sink deeply into your memory, and their meaning finds a place in your consciousness. If you can get a few moments to yourself during the day, practice making the affirmations. The right way is as follows: Go into a quiet place, whether you sit, stand, or lie down is immaterial. Now close your eyes and say the words over very earnestly.
Strive to realize all that they mean and address the words to your inner mind. It is your submerged mind that you are influencing, so address the affirmation very earnestly to it. Do this for several minutes, and finish by making the affirmation into space. Hurl it out as a message to the Universe and by so doing you will come into harmony with innumerable invisible forces, who will help and strengthen you.
Do not make the affirmation while in a state of strain and nervous tension. Relax yourself, take a deep breath, and as you exhale let your muscles go limp; smooth out your nerves until your whole body is in a peaceful easy state. Concentrate your thoughts on what you are doing. If they wander bring them back and begin again. The more you concentrate the better will be the result.
The most important, in fact the time above all times for making the affirmation is just as you are falling to sleep. There is a great psychological reason for this. If you can fall asleep while making the affirmation, or while visualizing it, so much the better. Therefore take no food or stimulants (it is better to avoid the latter altogether) just before retiring. The reason cannot be given here because it would take too long, but it is an important one.
In the early morning immediately on waking is the next best time, both times should be made use of, and on no account be missed, but of the two the one just before sleep is by far the more important.
The influence of these two affirmations will be felt during the day, they will have an effect upon your mental outlook, and upon the way in which you will deal with the problems of your day's work; but this influence can be intensified and buttressed up, as it were, by "retiring into yourself" at intervals, during the day, and mentally repeating the affirmation. This will give you a sense of power and confidence and hope, such as you have never experienced before. This is not "imagination," it is your hitherto unsuspected interior powers being aroused into activity.
This will not be easy. It requires concentration and perseverance. You will find it difficult to see yourself as you wish to see yourself, or you will find it not easy to see yourself clearly at all, also you will find it difficult to keep your mind concentrated upon the making of the image. There is only one thing to do and that is to keep on trying. Thus in the first lesson do you come face to face with a battle royal. With most students this visualizing is a great difficulty, but no matter how difficult it may be, it has to be overcome. If you fail to overcome this difficulty then you fail in this course of lessons; if you fail to overcome now, you will fail in the larger things of life.
The best way to overcome a difficulty is by getting interested in it. When you have developed interest, enthusiasm is aroused, and after that concentration becomes comparatively easy, and this commands success. Therefore get interested in this problem of visualizing. Remember that all men of great achievement have had this power greatly developed, therefore if you wish to be great and successful you must first develop this same faculty.
There has never been a great act or achievement in the world's history that was not first visualized in this manner. Everything is first created in the unseen before it is manifested in the seen. When you, by dint of practice, can visualize clearly and distinctly, you will have developed creative power, not figuratively, but literally so.
Whatever you create in your mental world by means of visualizing will in time be manifested in the outer physical world. The outer world of matter is subservient to the inner world of mind. This is a great occult truth which has been withheld from ordinary people and has been until recently the closely guarded secret of certain secret orders. It is now given into your hands, you are put upon your honor not to reveal it to others. When they have reached a certain stage of their development, the knowledge will come to them by some channel or other, and in the meantime it does more harm than good to try to impart occult knowledge to those who are not interested or ready to receive it.
I hope enough has been said to arouse your interest in, and enthusiasm for, visualizing. The more clearly you can visualize, the more clean cut will be the results in your daily life. This creative power can be so highly developed that a sick man can make himself well, a poor man can change his circumstances from poverty to prosperity, and a miserable and despondent pessimist can change himself into a cheery, optimist. By visualizing, and by denials and affirmations (which will be explained later), by meditation and by the exercise of Hope and Faith the life, character and circumstances can be transformed. The results are so extraordinary that it is very difficult to get people to believe them, but they are none the less real. Therefore practice your affirmations and persevere with your visualizing, they will lead to results of which you can at present form but a faint conception.
To obtain the best results from this Course it is necessary to set apart a special time every day for meditation and concentration. The reason man is so weak and unhappy is because he lives the whole of his time in the objective life, the shallow material life of the senses, and neglects the deeper, grander and transcendental life of the inner mind. It is the inner life that gives power and peace and satisfaction. The outer material life of the infinite mind of the senses only bring worry and care, the inner life of the deeper mind brings strength, wisdom, understanding and ability to accomplish and achieve.
It is a proved scientific fact that you grow into the likeness of that upon which you meditate. If you meditate upon evil then evil will come into your life; if you meditate upon revenge, your life will be turned into an inferno of trouble; on the other hand, if you meditate upon happiness and other higher mental states, then happiness will be yours, and if you let your thoughts dwell upon "peace" then peace of mind will result. All these states and many others are within you; they can be called forth by meditation. You can call forth either good or evil, success or failure, strength or weakness, happiness or woe, everything is in your own hands.
To be used every day and twice a day if possible, between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m. and 9 and 11:30 p.m. Other times are suitable, but those mentioned will be found especially valuable to students, as between these hours their teacher is meditating upon the same thoughts, and the vibrations from his mind will be helpful to all who are "tuned to receive them."
Try and arrange to spend half an hour in meditation before retiring for the night. Sit in a quiet place, relax your body and concentrate upon these words:
When meditating upon the above, take each thought separately in turn and concentrate all your thoughts upon it. Not only grasp its meaning, but try and picture what it means. For instance: "My life is transformed." When you think upon these words, try and see your life being transformed, see your weaknesses falling away from you like an old garment, and instead, strength, success and noble qualities being born in their place. Practice and concentrate and FEEL the power of this meditation.
This ends the metaphysical part of this week's lesson, the following are some brief hints of great value to the student beginning the study of Scientific Thought: (1) Everything works according to Law, we each of us have what we deserve. (2) Covet no man's goods, possessions or happiness; he deserves them, let him alone. Realize that the Universe holds all that you can possibly desire—for you. (3) Hate no man. Hatred will come back like a boomerang and hurt you far more than it can the object of your hatred. Ignore what you cannot like, and concentrate your mind on pleasant things. (4) Be true, be honest, be faithful. All these create vibrations which will bring back blessings and happiness to you.
You have entered a life, the power and possibilities of which you at present have no conception. If I described it now you would not understand. But, believe me, it is a life of Power to accomplish and Victory over all weaknesses. It is a life of Prosperity and true Success. It is a life of transcendent Joy. It is a life of peace and blessing to your fellows.
Look up. Keep looking up. Keep on affirming. Keep on visualizing. Keep on meditating. Keep on believing. Keep on hoping. What you hope for, and believe, and affirm, and visualize, is yours. Remember also that you grow into the likeness of that which you meditate upon.
The brain is a very delicate instrument; it is the vehicle through which the mind finds expression. The mind cannot manifest its power if the brain is clouded by grossness of body. The one who would improve his or her mind, who would awaken the mighty powers within, must give up hurtful physical habits. It is useless to attempt to eradicate bad mental habits while the body is suffering from indulgence of any kind. For instance, it would be waste of time to affirm all or any of the higher qualities of the mind and then to go to bed intoxicated or full of pork chops and fried onions. Let your diet be on the light side, always rise from the table slightly hungry rather than repleted, and never eat later than three hours before retiring to bed. For instance, if you go to bed at 11 p. m. do not eat at a later hour than 8 p. m. This is a most important point, the affirmations have more power if made when fasting, therefore the last thing at night and the time of waking in the early morning are the best times at which to perform them. There are physical and psychological reasons for this.
Bathe the body every day and follow by rough toweling. Do not wear too much clothing. Avoid tight collars and neck bands.
Take a fair amount of exercise, walking is the best form for most people. When walking keep the shoulders fairly well back, the back hollow and the body well balanced over the hips. Above all keep the head up. Do not look down, but LOOK UP. There is a reason for this.
As regards diet, eat the food that agrees with you best, but eat if you can digest them one or two raw things every day; raw ripe fruit, salad, water cress, etc.; again there is a reason. Masticate each mouthful of food until it becomes liquid.
Get into the habit of breathing deeply and through the nose. Keep the mouth firmly closed. Keep your windows open night and day, fresh air is cheap.
Lastly, try always to maintain a cheerful frame of mind.
It will be helpful for you to think of your subliminal Mind as another person, one who is always listening, listening, listening. He hears all that you say, and ACTS UPON all the thoughts that you let pass the threshold of the inner mind.
"Hush! he is listening," should be the watch-word of your life. Let no thought of evil, of impurity, of weakness, of ill-health, of failure, of hate, of anger, of fear, enter your Subliminal Mind, for he will receive them as orders which he will obey, and being all-powerful, great and terrible will be the results. Therefore let only thoughts of good, purity, strength, health, success, love, self-control, courage and determination enter this greater mind of vast intelligence and power. Do this, and your Subliminal Mind will take these thoughts as orders, and will shape your life and health accordingly. Thus in a general way your Subliminal Mind will be led to develop your life on healthful and successful, noble and harmonious lines.
The visualizing taught in this Course, also the denials (explained later), affirmations, meditations and other exercises, all have a very strong, deep, scientific purpose in view, and this is the training of the Subliminal Mind. The Affirmation and the Visualizing taught in this lesson are given you in order to make a definite impression upon your Subliminal Mind.
The main object of this lesson is to make a dent or impression on the Subliminal Mind and to make it realize that the old life is dead and that you have now entered a new life of health, success and power. Your Subliminal Mind will accept this if you persevere with the visualizing and affirmations, and will thus be prepared for the more advanced training which is to follow.
Let "Hush! he is listening" be
watch-word of your life.
GAZE up into the sky at night and sense the infinite majesty of the Universe. Get mentally into touch with those patient stars that flash and twinkle like gems of purest water. Realize that they are suns, situated millions of miles away. Then think of our own little spot in the Universe—the Solar System. Think of the majestic Magnetic Sun; the planets all following certain paths guided by a wonderful system of Universal Law. Observe the precision of the rising and setting of the Sun, the lunar periods, the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tidal sea. Let your mind grasp what all this means, let it sweep right from the grandest aspect of Nature down to the atom itself and what does it see? A Power expressing itself in an infinite variety of ways, in everything, and through everything. There is nothing, not a grain, not an atom, not an electron, that does not contain this wondrous Power. Man has been described as an epitome of the Universe; an atom clairvoyantly observed has been described as a replica of the Solar System; therefore we have universe within universe, solar system within solar system, and all animated, controlled and directed by the Universal or Infinite Mind.
Therefore the Power that animates man is an Infinite Power—in man the Infinite Mind finds its highest expression on the visible plane.
At one time man was thought to be an animal with a soul. Now he is known to be an indestructible Ego with an imperishable Mind finding expression in a temporary physical body.
The cause of all man's weakness, mistakes and failures, has been that he has not realized the Power within; instead, he has thought himself to be separate and friendless, weak and helpless, adrift, without chart or compass upon the sea of life. He has thought himself to be the victim of circumstance, the sport of fate, and the puppet of forces outside himself. He has called himself a worm instead of looking upon himself as a king. He has though, himself to be worthless and insignificant instead of realizing his wonderful interior. POWERS and the grandeur of his being.
Instead of being a worm, man is a king. Potentially all the powers of the Infinite Mind are his. Instead of being the victim of circumstances he can control them. Instead of being the puppet of forces outside himself, he has within him the Power to be what he will; to do what he will; to accomplish all that he desires.
Now at last the darkness is being pierced and man realizes that he is a mental creature, and that he is MIND as well as matter, that is, as Mind, is one with the Universal or Infinite MIND. That the difference between him and the Infinite or Universal MIND is not one of kind, but of degree.
Like a traveler lost in the bush, who, almost dying, at last finds his way to a permanent spring of water, and drinks and drinks again, knowing that he can never exhaust the everlasting supply; so does man after long wanderings, at last realize, that within him is a fountain of never failing Power and Wisdom, and that his subliminal mind is linked up with, and forms a part of, the Infinite Mind of the Universe.
This is the greatest discovery in the history of the World; this is the crowning revelation of all the ages; this is the blinding knowledge that dwarfs every other knowledge THAT WITHIN MAN DWELLS THE INFINITE AND UNFATHOMABLE MIND OF THE UNIVERSE.
To other creatures, life and the visible world are fixed quantities. To man, life and the world are reflexes of inward mental states. Thus, can he make life what he will; thus can he live in a world of his own creating.
Man alone has the power to realize and recognize the inward Power of the Infinite, and to consciously bring It into objectivity.
The inward powers of the mind are potentially illimitable, but they lie dormant and unexpressed, until they are recognized, and aroused into action, by the individual.
This is why the majority of people are so worried and distressed. Why they either fail to make life worth living or achieve only partial success, and that with great difficulty. They try to achieve without the power to achieve. They marvel at their own weakness, not realizing that within them lie immeasurable powers which are patiently waiting to find expression.
Until man calls these powers into activity they can never act. Within him is that which is connected with the Power-House of the Universe, yet he never feels its power. Within him is Infinite Wisdom, Knowledge, Inspiration, Creative Power and driving Force, yet he slumbers on, unconscious of their existence. But to those who realize their own interior Powers. what a mine of inexhaustible treasure do they find, what force and energy for all accomplishment
When you, dear reader, enter into the realization of the mighty Power within you, you enter into possession of all good and perfect things. You cease to strive, and squabble, and snatch, with selfish anxious hand, the bread from another's mouth. You leave off striving, with palpitating heart and careworn face, to push your way in front of the one next to you. Instead, you set your ambitions high, and sustained and carried forward by invisible forces, enter into possession of all that you desire.
Work? Yes, you will work, for right thinking—and this realization of the Power within you is the result of right thinking—is the inspiration of all right action. You will work hard enough—and no one is happy who does not work—but the difference will be that your work will be the greatest joy in your joyful life. Joy! there is no joy like the joy of work well loved and well done, and which leads to accomplishment and victory. Work! yes, you will work, but not with the feverish haste or with the fear of failure and bankruptcy ever before you. Instead, you will work with confidence and power, sure in the knowledge, that your efforts lead definitely to Success.
When you have realized the inward Power, you will feel it pushing you in the back and impelling you forward, you will feel yourself borne along to the goal of your endeavor.
Whereas formerly you were chasing Success, and waiting on it cap in hand; in future you will realize that you are master; that you command and Success obeys.
You realize that instead of as in the past, running after fame and fortune, which, like a will o' the wisp, constantly eluded you, you have now the power to attract all desirable things to you.
Instead of feverish anxiety and joyless quest, you possess calm confidence and the power to accomplish everything that you desire.
There will be no anxiety, no care for the morrow; instead—the confidence of exact knowledge—the knowledge that the results will be exactly as arranged. Just as today is the result of past thinking, so the future will be the result of what is built today. Therefore you do certain things today and you KNOW with mathematical certainty what the future results will be.
Like John Burroughs you can say:
"What is mine shall know my face," that is the basis of all success, the confidence, the exact knowledge that what you are sowing now will be reaped a hundredfold; that in the future you will enter into occupation of that which you are building now, that what you claim as your own NOW, out of all the riches of the Universal Store House, will be yours in the future. It is yours NOW, you enter into possession in the days to come.
You will now begin to see why I ask you to use affirmations. In succeeding lessons will be explained what affirmations are, their object and the manner in which they work.
In the meantime make use of the same affirmation that you have been using in the past week, but with something added. It will now read:
The old life is dead and buried. I have severed myself from it once and for all. Henceforth I live the new life of Success and Power, Self-Mastery and all Accomplishment. This I do, not in the strength of my feeble will and surface mind of my ordinary consciousness, but by the Infinite Power of my deeper inner MIND which is one with, and forms a part of, the Infinite Universal Mind.
Make the affirmations earnestly.
Think of what you are saying. Enter
into all that the words mean. Try and feel their power. Do not,
however, screw yourself up to a nervous tension, instead let yourself
relax. First your body with its muscles and nerves—let them all go
limp, then your mind—let that unbend also. Now affirm calmly and
confidently as instructed, and then visualize a picture of yourself,
radiant, calm, and possessed of a new power. See yourself master of all
weaknesses and passions, directing yourself, guiding your life with
unerring wisdom, shaping your course to a glorious destiny. Practice
and keep on practicing the art of visualizing.
Whenever you meet with temptation or difficulty or if you let yourself get flustered at business, just "retire into yourself" for a moment and make the affirmation mentally, and "realize" that you are a new creature. You will then become conscious of THE INWARD POWER.
Sit very quietly and relax nerves and muscles, and concentrate your thoughts upon a conception of an ideal world. Picture a world of indescribable beauty, without pain, sickness or care; without hate, unkindness or selfishness; without poverty, want or any lack. Picture mentally a world in which love and good will reign supreme, where beauty, joy, happiness, plenty and profusion of all good things are unstinted and for all. Picture a world where there is no limitation, where you can know everything, possess all the wisdom, and where you can be everywhere at the same time.
Now concentrate upon this image. You will most probably find worry thoughts intruding. Thoughts of the rent, of the mistake one of your clerks has made in your business, of threatened competition, or of some slander or unkind imputation that may have been made against you. Whenever a thought tries to enter your mind dismiss it at once and concentrate your mind upon your ideal world. This will not be easy, but continue to persevere. It is most important that you should master this, as by so doing you are cultivating one of the most wonderful faculties of your mind. Therefore keep on dismissing the unwelcome thought by denying it. For instance, you are disturbed by the thought that something grossly unfair has been done to you, it makes your blood boil when you think of it. Immediately this thought comes to you, say at once, "in this perfect world of Mind there is no unfairness, in justice or unkindness, all is truth and honor and good will," and raise your thoughts above this imperfect material life, and concentrate your mental gaze upon your ideal world. Again, a thought may come suggesting that the new competition in your business will ruin you. Immediately deny it by saying, "in this perfect world there is no competition, there is no failure; I am a perfect mental creature gifted with Infinite Powers, and I am above competition, I am success." Keep your mental vision on your ideal world the whole time and keep denying all your troubles one by one, and affirming their opposites.
By your denials you "kill" the
worry thought and by affirming its
opposite you build up a character and mental outlook that are superior
to worry and incapable of failure.
This may sound fantastic to you, but E. is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Later on you will be able to PROVE the truth of this beyond the shadow of a doubt.
The first step is to impress very powerfully upon the Subliminal Mind that it is capable of solving all your problems. At present unless you are a very rare exception, your Subliminal Mind is hypnotized into the belief that it cannot solve your problems. So long as it believes that it cannot solve your problems it never will attempt the task, but once you can convince your Subliminal Mind that it has the power, the wisdom and knowledge to do so, then you will at once pass from weakness to power. You will have at your disposal a mind so vast and wonderful that the finite mind of the senses will be unable to grasp its full significance.
In order to convince your Subliminal Mind that it can solve all your problems you must (1) believe yourself that it can do so, (2) have a strong desire to use your hidden powers, (3) make strong affirmations that your Subliminal Mind can think constructively and drawing upon the All-knowledge solve every perplexity and problem, and (4) visualize yourself meeting with problems and having them solved immediately by referring them to your greater mind within.
Within you are limitless powers, but they only become available when you consciously call upon them and make use of them. Therefore carry this thought strongly in your mind, "My Subliminal Mind can draw upon the Universal Intelligence and solve all my problems."
When seeking to impress the Subliminal Mind it is necessary to get alone and to still the objective mind and the senses. When all thoughts of worry, business and material life, have been dismissed from the mind and perfect mental calm obtained, then you will be in a state favorable to (1) the sending of directions to the Subliminal Mind, and (2) receiving inspiration from it.
We have seen in this lesson that within man dwells the Universal Mind, and that when he looks within he finds infinite power. In the same way man is also animated by the Infinite Life. So long as man ignores the infinite nature of his life, so long will he be weak, diseased, ill and miserable. The animal health of our fathers is passing away, and man is becoming more sensitive, more mental, more spiritual, and therefore depends more and more upon mental and spiritual forces for his life and health. Everyone is getting more nervous and highly strung, more imaginative, more sensitive to the power of thought and other spiritual and psychic forces. Therefore, man must look more and more to the one Source of all Life for his health, energy and vitality.Those who seek perfect health, and who does not these days, should deny every thought of and belief in sickness, illness and disease and constantly affirm and visualize a state of perfect health and well-being. Always before your mental vision let this idea of health be dominant, let it be a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, leading you ever out of the land of bondage and sickness into the promised land of perfect radiant health.

Facing the heat, Churchgate to partially shed glass facade
Installed at a cost of Rs 4.8 crore to make the iconic Churchgate railway station building a bit swankier, the facade will now be partly dismantled for Rs 5 lakh
In a bid to make the iconic Churchgate railway station building a bit swankier, the Western Railway (WR) had covered the building with a glass facade at a whopping cost of Rs 4.8 crore, way back in 2011.
The glass facade has created acute ventilation problems for Western Railway employees, as it was placed right in front of the windows. Pics/Sayed Sameer Abedi
Four years later, the authorities will be partly removing the glass panes at a cost of Rs 5 lakh, for which work will begin soon. Presently, WR has already placed protective nets on the southern end of the building, right opposite the WR headquarters, a Grade-I heritage building.
Protective nets have been thrown around the southern face of the building
There is a yellow colour crane in place, suspended with rope, which is meant to take the workers to all floors of this seven-storey building. Officials claim they have called for tenders, and a contractor would be appointed to remove the facade.
Humid house
currently 16,145 square feet of glass covers the building on all four sides of the structure. The design of the building is such that there are straight and slanted glass panes, ostensibly meant for ventilation.
However, these panels didn't allow air to enter. This issue has been hanging fire for a few years now. mid-day was the first to report on this issue, on June 9, 2012 ('Facing heat from employees, churchgate to lose glass facade').
The railway employees working inside the building had told the administration that due to the facade, ventilation had become poor, and there was insufficient sunlight percolating into the structure. Sources said that around 50-60 glass panes would be removed for providing additional ventilation.
Huge blowers costing around Rs 10 lakh each will be fitted at these spaces. This facade was also supposed to assist centralised air conditioning in the building that was constructed in 1956.
Apart from the heat that was making WR employees sweat it out inside the glass house, staff were complaining that the glass facade also led to people throwing garbage out of the windows.
The Rs 4.8-crore plan included covering the building with reflective tinted glass, false ceiling with illumination for the main concourse, levelling of platforms and new roofs over the platforms.

Sharat Chandrayan, chief PRO, Western Railway
Tenders have been called and these (glass panels) would be removed at a cost of Rs 5 lakh.

Hi all,
We need to use the last version of Docker and we do not want to loose the additional functionalities implemented as patches included in the Project Atomic Docker distribution.
Where can I find a documentation explaining how to deploy these patches on a recent version of docker (1.13)?
Thanks a lot for your support,

My wife has figured out a way to get her Italian Greyhound into all kinds of places (including antique stores) by simply putting it in what we terrier folk might call a terrier bag (once used by the mounted hunts to carry terriers on saddle).
Of course, after a few hours the bag moved over to me. Marley likes the bag -- he gets to stay warm, gets lots of attention, is very secure, and of course he can see all kinds of stuff riding high in the air. Look how well I have trained my human, he tells the other dogs.

Food and drink
No question this place has the best rye breads in London. Now they're also baking sweet muffins with rye flour, in flavours such as blueberry and lingonberry, and topping them with cream cheese frosting. The herring and salmon sandwiches are made to a fantastically high standard but those karelian pies (little rye crusts filled with rice or potato and smothered with buttery hard-boiled egg spread) are hard to pass up. The coffees (Dibar's their blend of choice) are well-crafted and made specially to fit the Teema cups and Aino Aalto glasses chosen by the design-conscious owner.
Very cool, very chilled, but relaxing rather than pretentious. I adore the décor. Like an episode of Wallander, it's a contemplative mix of darkness and light. They're rightly proud of their attention to detail yet the clean, simple lines feel almost minimalist. If only I could persuade them to decorate my flat…
Sweet and friendly, and always clad in cute denim aprons.
Worth the short walk from Marylebone High Street.
Price advice
You probably wouldn't eat more than a karelian pie (just £1.60) and a cinnamon bun (£2.20), but venture into the sandwiches and you can expect to pay £3.25-£4 each. Lattes at £2.10-£2.40 are on par with other first-class coffee bars in the capital.
The Golden Square original, in Soho's most genteel quarter, is mere seconds from Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus – see website below for details.

Comhlámh Starts Work On the EU Aid Volunteers Initiative.
Pictured: Jana Wessel , Caritas Ecuador, Emmanuel Kabore, Red Cross Burkina Faso, Mark Cumming Comhlamh. Abdul Alim of Action Aid Bangladesh and Gwendolyn Pang Secretary General, Philippine Red Cross.
Work has just begun on two exciting new projects relating to the EU Aid Volunteers Initiative. Dervla King is our programme manager and has this report.
Between 2015 and 2020, the Initiative aims to build capacity, deploy 4,000 volunteers from the EU, and involve a further 4,400 volunteers and NGO staff from third countries. Comhlámh is part of two international consortia, one led by France Volontaires and the other by La Guilde, which will be focusing on technical assistance and capacity building over the coming two years.
The Volunteering in Humanitarian Aid – Host Organisations project aims to prepare for future deployments, where humanitarian and volunteering organisations will share a common culture and EU volunteers will fit into existing local volunteering dynamics and response mechanisms. Comhlámh will partner in particular with ActionAid Bangladesh and the Red Cross Philippines, assessing and strengthening local and EU volunteers' management procedures.
The Volunteering in Humanitarian Aid – Sending Organisations will focus on sharing practice and strengthening procedures between organisations based in the EU. With the assistance of Service Civique volunteers, nine organisations from Ireland, the UK, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Slovenia, Cyprus, Latvia and France will document their current practice and work together to address any needs identified.
At a recent meeting of the 16 organisations in Rome, Comhlámh led a workshop that focused on our Code of Good Practice and the work that has gone into its development. Our experience over the past decade in Ireland will help to inform our joint work towards devising a culture of humanitarian volunteering.

Tomorrow they dr. wants to schedule me for a c section because she's breech. I'm going to refuse. I don't know where to go from there. But I've been thinking.... I used to work in assisted livings and the little old ladies would tell me their home birth stories. They're very interesting. Many of the 90 and 100 year olds had their babies at home. Esp. the ones in rural areas, on the farm, they didn't have a choice. I remember a lady telling me she had 13 kids, all at home and delivered a few breech. She had the dr. to come out and help her. Now drs. won't even help with that! Times have changed so much! I can't have a home birth because baby is breech or I don't even know if the hospital will let me. I may try unassisted. I find out tomorrow. They don't even give me a chance or baby a chance to turn. I haven't had any luck this pregnancy with care providers. I'm on my fourth one. :wacko:
They can't force you to have a c-section. You can turn them down. Do you know what position of breech she's in?
If this baby is breech at the time of birth, I am planning to try to deliver vaginally unless it is in the transverse position. I was looking up some breech birth stories online and they helped me to see that it is possible and that it does not have to be an automatic c section!! I hope that you get everything worked out!!

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
Imprisoned Christians in Bhutan Request Urgent Prayer and Action
Dalits Free from Anti-Conversion Restriction

Episcopal Church Prepares for Convention amid Widening Anglican Rift
Imprisoned Christians in Bhutan Request Urgent Prayer and Action
Jubilee Campaign has received an urgent request from "reliable sources" within Bhutan for prayer and action for two Christians who have been imprisoned there. A spokesperson for Jubilee Campaign told ASSIST News Service, "We have been praying for two brothers, Benjamin and John Dai, who were arrested in Bhutan on January 8, 2006, in the western part of Bhutan. They were imprisoned without trial for six months and suddenly they have been sentenced. Benjamin received a sentence of three-and-a-half years in prison and John was sentenced to three years. They were given the provision of ten days to appeal to the court for bail and then to fight the case with the help of prominent lawyer. In Bhutan the government is always right we are always wrong. So there is very little chance of winning the case unless there is intervention from high. So they need your urgent prayer."
Dalits Free from Anti-Conversion Restriction
Christian leaders are expressing joy and relief over the recent repeal of an anti-conversion law in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The law specifically listed Dalits, who make up approximately one fifth of Tamil Nadu's population, as one group restricted from evangelism efforts. The newly-formed Tamil Nadu legislature introduced a bill on May 29 to repeal the four-year-old "Prohibition of Forcible Conversion of Religion Act." It went unopposed on the floor and was passed May 31. "Thank God for this welcome change," said Gospel for Asia president K.P. Yohannan. "The law had been a heavy burden on our state and district leaders."
Police Harass Christians in Florida
According to a Family News in Focus story, John Stemberger of the Florida Family Policy Council was collecting signatures at a booth leased from Promise Keepers during their event when Sunrise, FL police Sergeant Stephen Allen ordered the petitions removed. "And I asked him what the legal basis for that was, and unbelievably he begins to tell me that Jesus said nothing about homosexuality... that we were totally out of line, that this is a waste of our time." After a bizarre interchange that included Allen kissing another officer on the cheek and doubting Stemberger's credentials as a lawyer, Stemberger was threatened with arrest. The situation was only defused when a city official intervened and ordered Allen to stand down. "Organizations like ours exist because these are very, very common events, " said Rick Nelson of the American Liberties Institute, Stemberger's attorney.
Episcopal Church Prepares for Convention amid Widening Anglican Rift
How to heal the feuds over gay clergy and other rifts, and manage to hold together 77 million followers around the world? That was the question of the Archbishop of Canterbury around Easter this year regarding the Anglican/Episcopalian church. But a deeper question – being asked with increasing urgency – is whether it's worth the effort. On Tuesday, the Episcopal Church begins its General Convention in Columbus, Ohio seeking answers to the above questions. What's at stake: A nearly 500-year-old religious tradition going back to King Henry VIII's famous break from the Vatican to establish the Church of England. But the modern reality is even messier, says a story in The Christian Post. Factions have engaged in theological combat, conservative dioceses are withholding money, congregations are looking for leadership – and the Anglican Communion has no central authority or doctrine to try to rally around. "It's a terrible commentary on institutional Christianity of any kind" that after 2,000 years of tradition, the rules have to be set, said the Rev. Paul Zahl, dean of the conservative Trinity Episcopal for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa. "It's disturbing... sort of theological shellshock."

CASCO BAY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — The cold coastal water off Maine is arguably the area's greatest asset. Tollef Olson believes it is and also believes it can yield generations worth of jobs and food.
He grows kelp in the bay. His company, Ocean's Balance produces what he calls "super foods" from kelp. Part of his marketing plan is to get people to see and think of seaweed differently.
"It's got a flavor pop," says the gregarious salt. He has spent a lifetime on the ocean including a time he worked as a commercial diver on a treasure ship.
Olson lauds the industry's effort to protect Maine's wild fisheries, the health of the water as well as the people who live near it.
