Hi Jeffrey,
I have always been drawn to the very simple colour scheme of black and white rooms, but for whatever reason have never been brave enough to actually create one for myself. I'm planning on redoing my bedroom and I think it's time to take the plunge. Do you have any advice so that I don't end up with a black cave and even darker regrets?
Thank you,
Hi Moira,
I share your love of a black and white room and your absence of bravery to actually execute one. But that doesn't mean I'm short on ideas for you to fulfill your decorating fantasy and thereby live vicariously through you.
The bedroom in the photo above is created by interior designer Kelley Proxmire (kelleyinteriordesign.com) and, though it's primarily black and off-white, it's not dark and gloomy. Quite the opposite. To me it looks bright and inviting.
Ms. Proxmire wholeheartedly commits to black by painting the walls and draping the outer canopy of the bed with the colour. She then balances the dark with her use of white and off-white. The wall-to-wall carpeting and the ceiling - two very large planes of colour - are kept light with an off-white paint colour and the mouldings, baseboards, door and fireplace mantel are all white. By using both shades of white, she is able to provide the room with a bit more visual depth than if she just used black and white. I recommend you do this as well. The overall feel of the room will be more sophisticated than if you use only one shade of white.
Ms. Proxmire also breaks the visual monotony of a simple palette by introducing an accent colour (in this case coral) and a smattering of print. She sparingly uses a shell print on a black background to cover the bed shams, bench and decorative cushions for the chairs on either side of the fireplace. You may choose to introduce a soupçon of colour and/or print in which case almost anything would work. It might be interesting to forgo the accent colour and introduce only a black-and-white print. The rug in the foreground of this photo has a modified Greek key pattern and if you can find anything like it for an accent fabric, it would be ideal. The Greek key has made a big resurgence in decorating. Alternatively, if animal prints are your thing, this would be an opportune time to include a black and-white one. Think zebra and how graphically fitting it would be in this room.
Whether you choose a floral, geometric or graphic print make certain it holds its own against your use of solid black and white.
I like that when you lie in this bed and look out at the room, the primary source of the colour black is only on the walls. The person reclining naturally does not see the black fabric panels surrounding the bed, only the cream ones lining them, giving the appearance of an even brighter room.
To make the room's ceiling appear higher than it is, the off-white draperies hang just below the crown moulding and the black braid runs vertically down the leading edge of the drapery. All tricks to observe if you, too, have lower ceilings than you might wish.
As this photo demonstrates, you can have a black bedroom without feeling like you've gone into hibernation. Use black sparingly and effectively, balancing it with generous amounts of off white and you will create a room that both you and I have always longed for.
Happy decorating!

South Carolina Mayor Doesn't Want 'Queers Rammed Down Her Throat'
A South Carolina mayor's feelings are hurt following the fallout that's erupted after she posted on Facebook attacking gays seeking marriage equality. (The mayor's post was triggered by the marriage equality activism and in-roads that are currently being made in neighboring North Carolina.)
West Union,South Carolina mayor Linda Oliver wrote (and deleted) on Facebook:
"What's it gonna take to get these queers to realize they don't need a piece of paper. God will not bless their union because he plainly speaks against queers in the Bible. Want to cover your queer with insurance? Buy a policy. Want your queer to get your stuff when you die? Make a will."
As you can imagine that didn't go over well. People are now calling for Oliver to be removed from office and she's downright verklempt. Watch her interview with FOX Carolina:
Oliver tells FOX: "All I can say is if people want to crucify me that's fine. I know that following Jesus, I'm going to be crucified...And I got lambasted because I quoted the bible and stuff like that on Facebook and that's the way I feel...I have apologized, it's on there if people would just read the feed. They're focusing on the word and I apologized for that. If people would read the whole thing they'll see that I plainly said I will not say that anymore, I'll say homosexual...What I'm emotional about is because my feelings- the way I feel toward homosexuals is how I've been brought up."
Ah! The ignorance defense! Right on time.
What do you make of Oliver's "apology," Instincters? Should she be removed from office?
She needs to realize it is 2013 and not 1947. If she wants to quote the bible, let her do it. The Bible has more abominations against heterosexuals than it does homosexuals. Every person is born with the right to be happy. No body can deny them that. God does not make any person, animal or other living thing that he does not love. Gays, lesbians, trans, bisexuals, straight, white, black, hispanic, purple or blue, it does not matter. This woman clearly needs a reality check. Have we learned nothing from the Chick Fila and Barilla fiascos? I'm ashamed that the world can't accept people for who they are. It's disgusting.
She may have been brought up that way but this is 2013. With all the media exposure to science, other religious acceptances, government acceptances of equal rights, etc, etc (let alone "queer"dom) she should be questioning the belief she was brought up with! Especially that she is in a public office - how can she not be aware of the fundamental separation of church and state?? For this ignorance she should be recalled or held accountable !
It might be wiser to use this as an opportunity to educate those still ignorant regarding love being equal for all in society. There is enough hatred and ugliness, as clearly seen by this major's galling words. Time to turn these ridiculous and hurtful ideas around and stop the hate with enlightenment. Show her and those of her ilk that because you are raised a certain way does not mean you have to stay that way. I hope I never live in a world where advancement and new paradigms are not possible.
She cannot make professional decisions on behalf of the LGBT community based on her inability to separate church and state. FIRE THE BITCH! And fyi, it's not so easy to insure your "queer" with insurance, nor does everything legal stand up in court when being fought by right-wing family. I should know, I lost the love of my life while he was in the hospital as his right-wing family stole our POA and Living Wills and used them against us and then pulled his plug killing him. So, on behalf of thousands like me living in the south, FIRE THE BITCH!
I was brought up by a racist, homophobic asshole. It made me realize everything I DIDN'T want to become as an adult. How you were raised is no excuse for being an awful person. I raised my daughter to believe everyone deserves love and happiness and love is a beautiful thing. When she came out to me, she knew nothing would change between us. That was the day I knew I had ended my hateful father's legacy. He, of course disowned us both. My life has been so much better since.
Since she likes to quote the bibble: "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)
So, shut da f*ck up!
This woman is a bad parody of a political figure. She should NOT hold any public office because she makes decisions and operates from the place of her personal prejudices. The fact that she was "brought up" that way is no excuse. People were also "brought up" to call black people "niggers" too but thank goodness that is far less used today than it used to be. ALL of the derogatory terms should be stricken from all languages, but it still wouldn't stop people from using them privately and in their heads and in places where others share their prejudices. It's all such a shame. This woman required termination from her position immediately because she is incapable of giving her gay constituents equal treatment under the law.
O dear! First let me preface by saying I am a card-carrying, gospel-singing, Bible-reading Christian by my own definition. I have NEVER seen the word 'queer' in any form in the Bible. Along with a lot of other things taken literally and out of context, this person uses her interpretations to justify her prejudices and ignorance. I am 65 years old, and some of my very best memories are of my mothers friends Little Willie and 'Miss' Maude. Willie was interesting in my young eyes because he dressed like a lady and everybody called him she. Miss Maude looked and dressed like a man, she had girlfriends and made the best bologna sandwiches I ever tasted! These were people I loved, and in my own life, my best friend at 16 was a boy ( still a friend over 50 years later, and my movie partner) as is my very dearest buddy today, ( who knows all about my sorry record with 'straight' men). I don't give a tinker's damn who they sleep with, as long as I can steal a recipe, cry on a shoulder, snitch perfume, and receive the most fabulous Christmas gifts ever imagined! Truly I don't know why they've put up with me all these years, but I can't imagine life without them....just the way they are.
Quoted the Bible? I missed her quote. And, last time I checked, this wasn't a Christian nation. This is the CIVIL RIGHTS issue of my generation, and I am sick and tired of dealing with these simple and closed minded f*cks! I don't like your G*ddamn Christian BS shoved down my throat, but I don't go bashing Christians.
She said "God will not bless their union because he plainly speaks against queers in the Bible.
With this she implied that somehow her god used the word "queers" in the bible. In fact, neither the word "queer" or "homosexual" were ever used in the bible and BECAUSE of the translation from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek were riddled with errors, it is quite possible that the alleged scripture the bigots are so find of quoting has been mistranslated. In fact, the man who translated the King James version of the bible, William Tyndale was tried on a charge of heresy in 1536 and condemned to be burned to death, was strangled to death while tied at the stake, and then his dead body was burned for deliberately perverting the scriptures. Tyndale's translation is the King James version which is still in use today although since his time there have been countless other alterations to the bible to make it more palatable and appealing to the changing societal ideas.
I do declare! How did this knuckle dragging swamp cunt ever get elected in the first place!? Marriage equality is more than a piece of paper. It is allowing 2 consenting adults to marry and have equal rights under the law that straight married couples benefit from! It's about more than just insurance benefits and wills!
Here's a newsflash, Mayor. How we've been 'brought up' is not meant to be a fixed thing beyond which we never evolve. It's not 'natural'. And using a preferred term (which, just for future reference, is NOT homosexual - homosexual is a clinical term, and not generally favoured by the queer community...) to say ugly things does not reduce the impact. If someone bashes me while shouting 'you same-sex-oriented person', it is NOT an improvement.

MAD Non-Conformists and More Bitching About Internet Zen
There are a lot of people out there who enjoy adopting the pose of being "freaky" and "alternative." And they do some very superficial things that make them look a little weird. They'll buy some funny clothes, maybe get a couple of body parts pierced or tattooed. All of this shocks those who are easily shocked.
But internally these same people are often extraordinarily conservative and judgmental. Sometimes they're even more conservative and judgmental that more "normal" people. Now that punk rock has become so trendy as to be ubiquitous, you meet a lot of these kinds of people wherever you go.
Long before even I was born, MAD magazine ran a piece in which they contrasted ordinary conformists, ordinary non-conformists and MAD non-conformists. It points out how regular, so-called "non-conformists" always conform to other "non-conformists" but at heart are really just like everyone else. Yet the MAD non-conformist is truly not conforming. I have a copy of this locked away in storage, so I can't quote the whole thing. But I managed to find a couple bits of it on line, where people had referenced it in blogs and suchlike. Here's what I found:
ORDINARY CONFORMISTS raise parakeets, cocker spaniels, boxers, collies, turtles, snakes, cats, white mice, snakes and tropical fish.
ORDINARY NON-CONFORMISTS raise Russian wolfhounds, French poodles, Weimaraners, ocelots, minks, deodorized skunks and rhesus monkeys.
MAD NON-CONFORMISTS raise ant colonies, anteaters, falcons, leeches, octopii, anchovies, water buffaloes and performing fleas.
ORDINARY CONFORMISTS go in for uninspired Technicolor musicals, stories with happy endings, migraine-provoking Cinemascope, and 6 1/2-hour double features that destroy the eyes, ears, nose, and spine.
ORDINARY NON-CONFORMISTS patronize stuffy out-of-the-way movie houses that show "experimental" films, arty-type films, documentaries, and obscure foreign language pictures with the sub-titles in pidgin Swahili.
MAD NON-CONFORMISTS enjoy hand-cranked penny arcade machines which contain film classics like the Dempsey-Firpo fight, Sally Rand's Fan Dance, old Ben Turpin comedies, and Tom Mix pre-adult westerns.
I kind of feel like real Zen practice may be for MAD non-conformists. It's fun and cool to learn a few of the trappings of Zen and show off to people who don't know any better. It's not hard to learn how to ape the Hollywood stereotype of what a Zen guy is supposed to be. But it takes a MAD non-conformist to really do what must be done. You have to be just a bit crazy. Or cracked. Or, uh, National Lampoon....?
I know there's gonna be people in the comments section going, "But I don't own a pet octopus or watch Ben Turpin movies! Are you saying I can't be real Zen????" Or variations thereof. Go for it.
Also, I know that a lot of people don't read the comments to this blog. Which is generally a good thing. Though they've been getting much better lately. So I thought I'd share something here that I posted in the comments section. To wit: I'd like to comment on some of the "benefits of an on-line sangha" posted by James:
- Regular access, no matter where you are.
• This creates too much dependence on the teacher. Things that are too convenient tend to weaken people and make them unable to do stuff for themselves. A teacher or sangha should not be so readily available. It's better to have to work for it. It wouldn't be good for someone in therapy to have 24/7 access to their therapist. It'd be a nightmare for the therapist and it wouldn't do the patient much good either. And while Zen is not therapy, I think it may be useful to make the comparison in terms of access.
- Expanded access to much more information and many more teachings than would be available in person.
• Encourages people to be over-intellectual. You don't really need that much information. Most of us have far more information than we can ever process anyway.
- Your choice of teacher, instead of just the teacher who's closest to you geographically.
• Sometimes choice is the worst thing you can have. I certainly would not have chosen Nishijima Roshi if I'd had a world of Zen Masters only a mouse click away. And that would have been a shame. I really do not believe in random chance. To my way of thinking, and from my experience, there is always a reason you are geographically close to those you're geographically close to. Ignoring or avoiding those near you leads to alienation and loneliness.
- Communication is recorded and saved (via video and forums) so the teacher is held responsible for his or her words.
• Would life really be better if every bit of communication we ever had with anyone was a matter of record, available to be re-examined and re-thought-through, re-interpreted, second guessed, shared with others who were not there when it happened and have no business knowing it? It seems to me a lot of people these days think so and are making efforts to move in that direction.
Some kinds of communication are better left unrecorded. Recordings don't preserve very much of what was shared by people no matter how detailed they are. It's one of the most confused and damaging myths of our time to believe that they do. Someone who was not involved in a conversation can't really know the content of it just by watching a video tape.
This may, in fact, be one of the main reasons an on-line Zen teacher can never be anything like a face-to-face teacher.
When I first started working on what was to become Hardcore Zen, I had an idea that part of the book would consist of conversations between me and Nishijima Roshi. We'd had a lot of really interesting ones in the past, so I thought I'd preserve them.
In order to do this I brought a tape recorder with me and would turn it on when we started talking. To my surprise, the conversations when the recorder was switched on were never the same. That intimacy was gone. The tape recorder became a third person in the room. No. Not a third person, even. It became a potential audience of who knows how many. It was no longer a person-to-person conversation, or even a tight manage-a-trois. It was a performance for an audience. And that's a very different thing. I never used those tapes. My memories of our truly one-to-one conversations were far better.
When you're conversing in some manner that can be preserved and recorded, you're not as free to speak openly as you are when there is no potential audience. Sure, OK, maybe that means a teacher can hit on a student when nobody's watching and then deny it later. But, really, that's hardly the only kind of thing that people share and want to keep private. And, in spite of all the books and net postings it's really not a major component of teacher/student relations in Zen.
Things aren't always private for nefarious reasons. In fact most of the time when something is kept private, there's nothing scandalous about it at all. It's just that the participants know that others would be likely to misunderstand what was said because they wouldn't be aware of a whole world of context outside of the conversation.
In this sense, all conversations held via any kind of media that can be preserved have to -- they absolutely must -- lose the true intimacy necessary for genuine deep communication. Accountability comes with a very high price.
Can you believe I wrote all that while I should be having fun seeing London? The things I do for you people!

Check out our review of the Nokia Lumia 820 Windows 8 phone.
AT&T has announced the pre-order and launch dates for the Nokia Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 handsets. Eager buyers will be able to secure their phones on November 7, then settle back and wait for release on November 9.
The prices for these 4G LTE phones are particularly reasonable, and less than those rumored, with the Lumia 820 costing a mere $50, and the higher-specification Lumia 920 just $100; but you'll have to sign your life away for two-years to take advantage. You can choose between a red, white, grey, black or yellow Lumia 920, while the Lumia 820 comes with a variety of rear covers for you to choose between.
You'll probably be lusting after the Lumia 920 and if you're planning on grabbing one, don't wait around too long, as AT&T has a limited amount of wireless charger pads to give away for free with each Lumia 920 sold.
In case you need a reminder, the Lumia 920 has an 8.7-megapixel, PureView camera, a 4.5-inch touchscreen with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution and a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor. It's little brother, the Lumia 820 has a smaller 4.3-inch screen with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution, an 8-megapixel camera and the same 1.5GHz, dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor inside.
Both run Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 operating system, and come with Nokia's many special apps, including Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive and Nokia City Lens. It's only the Lumia 920 that has wireless charging as standard, but it's possible to buy a new rear cover for the Lumia 820, which then equips it with the handy feature too.
The Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 are exclusive to AT&T, but T-Mobile offers its own version of the 820, named the Lumia 810, and Verizon will also be getting in on the Windows Phone 8 fun with the Lumia 822. They're identical when it comes to features, but vary slightly in design.
You can find a roundup of all the other Windows Phone 8 handsets here.

Friday, April 27, 2012 - Kaja and Albert - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Kaja and Albert - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
We had already done solo shoots and a Broke Czech Boys with Albert Kroka and wanted to push him a bit further, so we paired him with Kaja Kolomaz for a screentest, to see how he would do. Kaja starts off by interviewing Albert and then begins to kiss him. Albert responds to the kisses and things are underway. Soon Albert's top is bare and the kissing continues. Kaja removes his top too and begins to kiss Albert's chest and nipples. Albert wants to show he can do it too and responds in kind. Then Kaja is feeling Albert's cock, thru his jeans, and soon they come off so that Kaja can suck that hard dick. His mouth works up and down on Albert's cock, lips closed tightly around it. Albert loves it and is rubbing Kaja's back as he is sucked. Soon Kaja kisses Albert again, then it is his turn to be sucked. Albert shows he can do it, as he is on his knees, head bobbing up and down on that big cock. Kaja puts his hands on Albert's head and pushes it down onto his cock. Albert then moves up and kisses Kaja again. Kaja gets on his knees and presents his ass to Albert, who duly starts to lick it. His tongue works up and down the crack, settling on that hairy hole, as Kaja wanks himself. Albert is soon ready to go further and begins to finger that tight hole. Firstly with just one finger and then with two. When he judges it is ready he climbs on and pushes his big, thick cock into the waiting hole. He fucks that ass nice and deep, building up the speed as Kaja continues his wanking. Kaja is moaning with each thrust of Albert's cock. He clearly likes that dick in his ass as his cock stays rock hard. A change of position has Kaja sitting down on Alberts throbbing cock and riding it as he wanks himself. Kaja is really turned on by it all and wants some ass as well, so they swap places and Kaja fucks his rock hard cock into Albert's ass. He loves that hole and moves Albert to lay on the bed so he has better access and fucks him real hard and fast. Albert feels it deep and is moaning as his ass gets fucked. Kaja cant hold back and shoots his load over Albert who takes the cock in his mouth to clean it off. Then it is Albert's turn and he dumps a big creamy load over Kaja's face, and in his mouth. Kaja loves it and suck that spent cock to drain it completely. Then he stands and kisses Albert to bring his screentest to an end. Albert certainly proved that he is up for anything in this scene, with Kaja again showing us how good he is too.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
We brought Mirek Ceslar and Jakub Nakuda together and it turned out to be a great idea. Jakub is the first one we see, and he is caressing his body, running his hands over his chest and groin. He sits on the bed and continues, as Mirek arrives and stand watching him for a while. Mirek has a big smile on his face, so clearly he has something in mind. He moves to the bed and kneels behind Jakub and begins to caress his body and kiss him. Jakub responds to Mirek's overtures and kisses him back. Mirek removes Jakub tee-shirt and begins to kiss his nipples and chest. Jakub then also kneels and removes Mirek's top giving access to his chest too. They spend some time, taking turns, in kissing each other, and licking and kissing the body, as the kneel facing each other. Next the remove each other's jeans, so they are just in their underwear and Jakub lays down on the bed. Mirek lays next to him, on his side, and they kiss some more as Jakub's hand takes Mirek's exposed cock in his hand. Mirek is also rubbing Jakub's cock thru his underwear. Mirek is keen to go further and removes Jakub's underwear and quickly goes down on his rock hard cock. Mirek is an expert cocksucker and he works his mouth over the cock sucking hard and as his head bobs up and down on it. Mirek then removes his own undies and kneels by Jakub's head, presenting his cock for sucking. Jakub obliges, sucking on that big cock and alos sucking the balls into his mouth. After the sucking Jakub moves down, and with Mirek's legs in the air, begins to rim his ass hole. His tongue laps at the hole, and then he begins to suck on Mirek's cock again. Soon Jakub wants even more and sits on that throbbing cock, sliding it deep in his ass. He rides that cock real well, bouncing up and down, and then letting Mirek take over, fucking his cock up the bumper chute as far as he can. Back to Jakub to ride again, he really works his ass onto Mirek's cock, riding it real well, Bouncing up and down, taking that shaft all the way in his ass. The guys change position, with Jakub on his knees, so Mirek can ride him doggy style. Mirek's dick slams into that eager hole, with his balls bouncing against it as he fucks. Jakub moans as he takes that cock, relishing every moment. They move to a spoon position and Mirek starts fucking Jakub again, with Jakub wanking on his cock as he takes Mirek's. Mirek moves again, kneeling on the bed with his dick deep in Jakub's ass. Jakub is wanking hard and fast as his ass takes Mirek's cock and very soon he starts moaning louder as he shoot a nice big load. Mirek continues to fuck that ass until he too is ready to dump his load. He moves to Jakub's head and and shoots his cum over his face. Jakub then takes that sticky cock in his mouth to clean it off completely. Mirek then lays down, next to Jakub, head to toe and they relax and fall asleep. What a lovely scene, from two very good models.

Special Notices
INTERPOL–United Nations Security Council Special Notice
The INTERPOL-United Nations Security Council Special Notice is issued for individuals and entities that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council. Its principal function is to alert national law enforcement authorities that certain sanctions apply to designated individuals and entities. The three most common sanctions are:
- Assets freeze: freezing funds or other assets. There is no requirement to seize or confiscate assets;
- Travel ban: preventing an individual from entering or transiting through territories. There is no requirement to arrest or prosecute these individuals;
- Arms embargo: preventing the direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer of arms and related materials.
The Special Notice was created in 2005, as a way to combine the UN sanctions regime with INTERPOL's well-established notice system into an effective law enforcement tool.
The purpose of the Special Notice
The Special Notice seeks to alert law enforcement agencies worldwide that a given individual or entity is subject to UN sanctions, and in doing so, to help give effect to those sanctions. Special Notices contain information that assists law enforcement officers to take appropriate action in accordance with their national laws.
Like other INTERPOL notices, Special Notices are circulated to all INTERPOL member countries through INTERPOL's secure global communications system. Extracts of Special Notices also appear on the public website. More than 700 Special Notices have been issued since its creation.
Cooperation with Sanctions Committees
INTERPOL first worked with the 1267 Committee, the Sanctions Committee established in 1999 in relation to Al-Qaida and the Taliban. In 2011, the 1267 Committee was divided into two distinct sanctions regimes, one for Al-Qaida and another for the Taliban:
- The Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011): this Committee oversees sanctions concerning individuals and entities associated with ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida.
- The Committee pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011): this Committee oversees sanctions concerning individuals and entities associated with the Taliban;
INTERPOL continues to work with the two Sanctions Committees and Special Notices are issued for individuals and entities subject to both sanctions regimes.
The success of the Special Notice has resulted in INTERPOL's cooperation being extended to other Sanctions Committees, including those concerning the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea/Somalia, Sudan, Guinea-Bissau, the Central African Republic, Yemen, South Sudan and Libya. INTERPOL's cooperation with Sanctions Committees may be further extended in future.

Self Hypnosis For Self Esteem DrakeND
You love and appreciate yourself for who you are, for your strengths, your uniqueness. Many people were programmed from early childhood on to refrain from self love and in order not to be conceited, narcissistic or to think they were better than other people. These messages were wrong. Hypnotherapy is an old world tool that has experienced a resurgence in today's world. Hypnotherapy is the way in and the way out. The key to successful hypnotherapy is listening. Hypnotherapy self-esteem is far more powerful than affirmations alone because the subconscious only knows what is true because of the information it has received. The negative belief pattern is identified, neutralized and transformed with new beliefs of high self-esteem, confidence and positive belief in oneself.Building your self-esteem and creating a positive awareness comes from taking an inventory of your own strengths and abilities in hypnotherapy confidence. Hypnosis is a state of mind. This is your life. It is often easier to work with a trained hypnotist because they are not attached to the issues of low self-esteem, negative mindset or abuse. Programming through hypnotherapy for high self-esteem increases the new belief pattern. You pay far less attention to what others are saying about you and more attention to your happiness and well-being.
Self Hypnosis For Self Confidence DrakeND

Improve self-esteem by identifying the negative belief patterns that you have about yourself. A person can go into hypnotherapy simply by breathing, sitting still and focusing on the breath and the relaxation of the body. You shift from a negative mindset to self-appreciation. Hypnotherapy reprograms your subconscious mind for success, for high self-esteem for worthiness for self-love for self-confidence and a positive mindset. This is the lie that has been fed to you that there is something wrong with you and therefore you must continue to beat up on yourself. Confidence audio hypnosis is the repeated listening to the hypnosis recording.Many people base their self-esteem and confidence on external factors, such as how much money they earn, how much they weigh and whether people like and appreciate them. Therefore, it is imperative that one develops a healthy, positive sense of oneself.

Hypnotize yourself for success. It is important to note that weaknesses are not of significant consequence. While you care for the happiness and well being of others, they do not come before your own personal self care. Say things that you want to believe to be true about yourself. The intent of all hypnotherapy is to transmute self-sabotage, negative beliefs and replace them with confidence building, high self-esteem, positive mindset and belief in oneself. A hypnotist is able to work with the beliefs objectively to increase the speed that low self-esteem is let go of and replaced hypnotically with the new positive mindset.Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself as a person. A trained hypnotist can easily hypnotize a subject and plant the suggestions for positive change, self esteem, confidence, love and improved self esteem. For example, if your self-esteem is based on the fact that someone else loves you, then you risk feeling extremely vulnerable and worthless if that person's love ends.
As you could see from this post, self-appreciation is a quality that anyone could develop by simply exercising breath work, a favorable attitude and learning how to love on your own. The significance of doing this technique is just what you construct from it. Are you material to live continuously happen to you, or are you prepared to step into the chauffeurs seat, stop grumbling and also go to favorable frame of mind experience. The option is your own. Which method are you going to choose?

The 3-4 week wait for your first homebrew isn't fun; you want to taste your beer, right? You want to give it to your friends and say "I made beer...pretty cool, is it not"! Well, if it turns out that your beer is awful, how enthusiastic are you going to be to do it the next time?
As long as you accept that possibility, using a shelf kit the first time or two isn't a bad thing, I suppose. Once again, though, do your best to make sure it's fresh and stored properly...that's my recommendation because I don't necessarily know how the individual brands work.

Wow. I just found out there will be Hebrew, Greek and Finnish editions of Hardcore Zen. So any of you Fins, Greeks or Israelis out there reading this can rest easy knowing that soon you will be able to read my descriptions of Gene Simmons' hotel room in your own language! Hoo-zah!
OK. Now the Zen. Here's an e-mail exchange I was recently cc'ed on between Nishijima Sensei & a Seeker of the Truth out there in Blogland.
Dear Nishijima Sensei,
On a Buddhist blog there is a discussion about the correct method of using the eyes when sitting zazen. Below is what the person wrote about the eyes:
" At some point while sitting with my eyes open, my vision begins to swim, blur, or cloud over. What should my attitude be when this happens? Should I re-focus, or allow the blur to occur? If I let the blur continue, it usually obliterates my vision at some point, to the extent that I'm not sure if my eyes are even open anymore. It seems that at that point, I might as well close my eyes. Is maintaining focus with the eyes the right thing to do, according to the Zen concept of maintaining the mind's focus? "
in reply somebody said the following quote:
" Some people prefer to meditate with eyes open and some with them closed. Bottom line is what works best for you. As far as the 'official' zen position though... You are supposed to let them stay open or half-open. Your gaze should be 'un-focused'. If your eyes blur and you can't tell what's in front of you, this is what is supposed to happen. It isn't the same as having them closed because the darkness of closed eyes (as opposed to the diffuse light of blurred vision) tends to make most people fall asleep or become drowsy. "
" In seated zazen, the main focus of attention is inward, so the lack of focused vision is irrelevant. In active forms of zazen, obviously the focus is both inward and outward... which is what makes it so difficult."
You will notice that they mention the ' official' zen position about the eyes. do you agree with this person that what they have written is the official zen position or do you think that they are wrong? if you think they are wrong, what is the best method of using the eyes when sitting zazen?
Thank you very much for your important questions of eyes in Zazen, and I would like to answer following the three opinions, which you sent me in your email.
1) When our vision begins to swim, blur, or cloud over, we should stretch the spine straight vertically to have our sight refocused, and we should not allow the blur to occur. We should maintain focus with the eyes, according to the Zen concept of maintaining mind and body focused.
2) The eyes should be open during Zazen. The back of the neck should be kept straight as far as possible, and so the chin should be replaced a little downward and backward. It is wrong for us to keep the eyes half-open. Your gaze should be focused to avoid becoming sleepy or sleeping.
3) In Zazen the focused situations do not have any difference between inward and outward, therefore the lack of the focus can be seen clearly. In Zazen it is necessary for us to look at something concretely, and it is impossible for human beings to distinguish inward and outward at all.
I do not understand the meaning of "official," and I always manifest my opinion following Master Dogen's teachings.
With best wishes
Gudo Wafu Nishijima
What struck me about this when I read it was not so much the specifics of the question & answer -- which are very important to anyone who practices Zazen -- but the difference in tone between the guy who advised people on the blog and Nishijima Sensei. There are lots of guys out there in the Blogosphere giving advise on Zen practice and, unfortunately, most of them are like the guy who told the Truth Seeker that "bottom line is what works for you." I should apologize to Mr. Bottom Line in case it's someone I've corresponded with. Nothing personal, but that advise sucks ass.
Zen is not a "bottom line is what works for you" philosophy. "What works for you" is crap teaching. Don't ever accept crap teaching. I take so much flak from people who've learned from God only knows where that Zen is "what works for you" and are driven to madness by my insistance that it is not. But it isn't. Nope. Never.
"What works for you" means you accept what massages your ego and reject what doesn't. That is not Buddhism. That is not Reality. Reality does not bend in order to please you and neither does the philosophy and practice of Zen. Shunryu Suzuki said, "If the teaching doesn't feel like it's forcing something upon you, it's not good teaching." That is the real spirit of Buddhism. If you're not ready for that, you're not ready for Buddhism.
