Bottom Lashes Benefits
When most people think of ARMANI LASHES mink lashes, the first thought is of classic strips that are applied to your upper eyelid. But what about your Bottom Lashes? They make falsies for this area too! The benefits are easy to see once you try out your false eyelashes on this versatile part of the eye.
China top quality Bottom Lashes with wholesale price and fast delivery, we are best quality China manufacturer for Lower Lashes. You can create your brand customized box and Individual label 3d mink lashes. Our lashes is Premium quality, strong curl durability. Worldwide shipping is available, Shop love style lashes
Most importantly, lashes can be added to the Bottom Lashes in order to balance out the look of your eyes and really enhance their shape. If you're like many women with sparse lower lashes, a few falsies tucked along the lash line can fill in the area and create a fuller effect to match the top lashes.
If you're looking to make your eyes Bottom Lashes appear wider, you can apply lower false eyelashes only to the outer third of your Lower Lash line to boost your eye shape. With so many different options, it's easy to play around with the different styles of false eyelashes Lower Lash until you find what works best for you.
A second benefit of Bottom Lashes is that you don't have to apply entire strip eyelashes to your lower eyes to make them pop. In fact, it's recommended to simply apply piece lashes or a few individual lashes to the lower lash line if you're looking to subtly enhance your natural lashes. This works great for a day out or working in the office. Of course, if you would like an intense, "night out" effect, full strip lashes applied to both top and bottom lashes will easily give you the drama you're looking for.
Another great thing about wearing under-eye Bottom Lashes is that you get the beauty of thick, dark lashes without having to spend a fortune on makeup. It can take a $30 tube of mascara to thicken the tiny lashes under your eyes, and even then it won't look as full as adding the extra texture of false eyelashes. After you apply the lashes to your lower lash line, you just need a tiny swipe of basic mascara to blend the lashes and you're ready to go!
With all of the information out there about false eyelashes that go on your upper eyelid, it's easy to forget about the lower half of your eye. However, the benefits are huge and with a few extra minutes (and since you have your tools and glue out anyway) your eyes can really pop with the maximum volume you get from lower false eyelashes.
Great Gift-Giving Ideas
Christmas is in the air. It's the time of the year again when we think of the presents we need to give for our dear friends and family. While it can be pretty easy to find gifts for children, buying for adults is not. So, here are some gift giving ideas from Boohoo to help you find that perfect gift for your loved ones!
Scarf. Give your friend a scarf with a print that matches her fashion style. A scarf is the perfect go-to accessory in the autumn and winter season. If your friend is on the wild side, give her an animal print pashmina. For friends who aren't so adventurous in fashion, you could give them an earth-toned knitted scarf.
Satchel. Yes, a satchel. Satchels are back and are a new trend in bags. It's a great gift for your working woman friend as satchels are very versatile. They're big enough to fit all of her work-stuff in and small enough to use when she's going out for a drink after work.
False eyelashes. I know a lot of women are a bit hesitant to wear fake eyelashes, but this can be a chance for your friend to try them out. They're the fastest way to change a person's look. You can also tell them that if they prefer lashes that look more natural, they can always trim the lashes so it won't look too overwhelming.
Gloves. Gloves are useful as they are fashionable. Make sure to give gloves that could fit your friend's hands. Buy gloves with a color that you're sure she doesn't have. Avoid black or brown gloves because chances are, she already has a pair. Choose vibrant colored gloves.
Necklace. Buy your friend a statement bib necklace. This kind of necklace is bold and elegant at the same time. It's a great accessory because it's attention-grabbing even if you're just wearing a simple black dress. It will truly complete anyone's outfit. If a bib necklace doesn't really match your friend's personality, give her a necklace that's a bit more understated.
Belt. Women can never have too many belts. Help your friend add some color to her look bay giving her a slim belt. A belt can easily transform a boring outfit into something that looks more sophisticated and elegant. Choose the colors blue, yellow, red or green as these colors make a look more unique.

This summer, you're probably off to a well-deserved vacation with friends or family. But if you're bringing a four-legged friend along for the ride, spare a moment's thought for pet safety and comfort.
In modern cars, air conditioning is pretty much taken for granted. It's the only civilized way to travel, after all. But AC efficiency easily lulls us into a false belief that pets can tolerate heat as well as we can. And nothing could be further from the truth.
Compared to humans, dogs and cats aren't that great at regulating their body temperature. Inside a vehicle, this can get particularly tricky when the engine's off.
The American Veterinary Medicine Association plays a prominent role in raising awareness of the dangers posed to the health of domestic animals. Each year, they take steps to emphasize that the lack of pet safety is not only a consequence of deliberate mistreatment. Many animals are threatened by being "left in cars on warm (and not necessarily hot) days while their owners are shopping (…) or running errands."
According to AVMA, a car parked in outside temperatures of 72oF-96oF can heat up quickly. The inside of the vehicle grows 19 degrees hotter in just ten minutes and 50 hotter in two hours.
When the heat is on, emergency calls soar
In hot weather, emergency services regularly see a spike in calls. Many of these come from people concerned about the safety of dogs left inside locked cars. In these cases, owners usually feel that they'd taken adequate precaution by cracking open a window.
But let's get one thing straight – yes, the car's AC does still work when the engine is off. However, it can't get the power it needs to operate at full efficiency. Without the engine, the vehicle's occupants simply don't get the necessary benefits of air conditioning.
Of course, no matter how brief your absence, you couldn't leave the AC on without keeping the keys in the ignition. This only ups the ante, moving the issue from pet safety to property endangerment, so we don't recommend it.
A dog left inside a car in warm weather might start to show signs of heatstroke. These include excessive panting, drooling, lack of coordination, drowsiness, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. The risk is especially prominent for very old or very young animals, those with a thick coat of fur, or those with a short, flat snout.
What does the law say on pet safety?
This issue was brought into focus by an incident that took place in 2015. A Georgia man was arrested for smashing a car window on a hot spring day, trying to relieve the distress of a dog inside the vehicle.
War vet Michael Hammons faced charges of criminal trespass, but these were later dropped. Local laws allowed such action to be taken in order to rescue a child in distress, though not a dog.
According to Barkpost.com, last year 28 states enacted laws that make it a civil offense to leave an animal inside a locked vehicle. In 12 states, laws reduce the risk of liability that would-be animal rescuers face.
In Texas, there is no state law preventing an animal from being left in a car. However, cruelty laws are being used to bring justice to those who deliberately neglect pet safety this way.
For a full overview of these states and applicable regulations, click here.
What should I do if I see a dog in distress?
The following five steps are proposed by PETA to anyone who sees a dog left inside a car:
- Gather information: Take a note of the car's make, model, color and license plate. Take a photo using your smartphone.
- Tell other people: If you think there's time, speak to a manager in a nearby building, and ask them to message the car's owner.
- Keep watching: Return to the car and monitor the dog as best you can. Don't leave until help arrives and you're sure the animal is safe.
- If the owner arrives: Explain the issue and relate the action you took.
- If the owner doesn't arrive: Call animal control. If they are unable to respond immediately, call 911 instead.
- If push comes to shove: As a measure of last resort, PETA advises that you "do what's necessary to save the animal's life".
Tricky proposition
So yes, the situation can get too heated for many people to handle. But those of us who really care about animals hopefully have the confidence to do the right thing. The information presented here should help you keep the issue of pet safety in perspective when dealing with warm weather.
All this might make you feel wary about having your pet transported long-distance in summer months. But CitizenShipper has a decade of experience connecting owners with caring, compassionate transporters. These are people who genuinely love animals, and put that into action by prioritizing pet safety above all else.
One advantage of using a service like CitizenShipper is being able to choose transporters that operate in teams of two or more. This gives you the luxury of always having someone that keeps an eye on your pet. Because, when an animal starts overheating, a swift reaction is imperative.
Taking pride in their high level of service, many transporters provide regular updates via social media. This reassures clients that all is well, but also allows them to ask or answer questions along the way. You can see how valued these pet safety standards are by browsing our excellent Trustpilot reviews.
CitizenShipper is always looking for enthusiastic new drivers. If this sounds like a job you'd like to do, check out our driver Q&A. You can also get a more general idea of what the work involves from our other blog posts.
So, next time you're looking for a caring, capable chauffeur, ready to meet your precious pet's warm weather requirements… drop by CitizenShipper and list your transport requirements.

Barry Long (1 August 1926 – 6 December 2003) was an Australian mystic, spiritual teacher, and writer. He was born and raised in Australia and had little formal education. In his twenties he became editor of a Sydney Sunday newspaper, The Truth, and later press secretary in the New South Wales Parliament. At this time he was married with two children. In his early thirties he began to experience a disillusionment with his material life and in 1964 he abandoned everything, including his family, to go to India. There he experienced a spiritual crisis culminating in a self-described "mystic death," which he called his "realisation of immortality," followed four years later by a "transcendental realisation"; a contact with a depth of consciousness from which he stated his knowledge of universal reality ultimately derived.
Leaving India he moved to London, living in Highgate and working as a sub-editor in Fleet Street until he was able to support himself from teaching and publishing. In 1986 he returned to his native Australia, living on Mount Tamborine QLD with his wife Kathy and young stepson, Simon, then in Burleigh Heads QLD when they divorced, and finally moving to Crabbes Creek NSW where he lived until his death from prostate cancer in December 2003.
Long stated that he was a tantric master and that unhappiness arises because man and woman have forgotten how to love each other. In 1984 he recorded a double audio cassette Making Love: Sexual Love the Divine Way, later published as a book and CD.
He started his public teaching in England and later went on to teach in Australia and New Zealand, Europe, the USA and Canada. His last public seminar was the tenth annual 14 day Master Session held in Queensland, Australia in late October 2002. He continued to write new material after this and his observations on the approach of death were published on his website.
The story of his realisations is told in a book published in July 2013; My Life Of Love & Truth: A Spiritual Autobiography which describes his life up until the death of his second wife in 1982. His works are published by the Barry Long Foundation International, based in NSW, Australia and his last writings have yet to be published.
Long's teaching focuses on freeing the individual from unhappiness which he defined as 'happy today, unhappy tomorrow'. He stated that this fluctuating condition is set in motion and maintained by an addiction to thoughts and the emotions they create. These emotions encourage other thoughts and so a vicious cycle is initiated. We are trapped in this cycle, he suggested, until we follow "the way of truth". It includes:
constant vigilance in observation of one's thoughts, emotions and actions;
meditation to still the mind and connect with life within i.e. what "I" call "me";
"feeling the well-being in the body";
being, without thought; the next step on from meditation;
getting your life right, taking action in those areas of your life which disturb you because something is wrong.
The sexual aspects of his teaching gained great notoriety, assuming a greater prominence in the public mind than Long wished. He maintained the relationship between man and woman caused the greatest unhappiness in the post-industrial West. He taught and wrote in detail about sexual love between man and woman and its use to purify them both, ridding them of what he called 'personal, human love.' He responded to controversy by pointing out that getting one's life right in all its aspects, and prolonged selfless giving were more important. He suggested that a person practicing this would naturally attract a loving sexual partner. In response to an article by Andrew Cohen he wrote "One notion I would like to correct is where you say that in my teaching "the primary spiritual practice is making love rightly." The primary spiritual practice… is self-denial, giving and honesty practiced over a long period out of an inner perception of rightness and goodness."
Long also wrote about many other aspects of "Love, Life, Truth, God and Death". In The Origins of Man and the Universe he presents his cosmology. Speaking of this book he stated, "There's so much in this book ….it's like a base which my whole teaching goes back to, or extends from. My current teaching might be more refined, but is always consistent with it." He taught and spoke about family life and the importance of raising children from birth in justice and truth not just love. In response to the September 2001 terrorist attacks in the USA, an extract on terrorism from his Origins book written in 1983 was published separately as well as a new book A Prayer for Life: The Cause and Cure of Terrorism, War and Human Suffering.
Barry Long acknowledged his respect for J Krishnamurti and his teachings. His teaching also owes a lot to the practicality of the Gurdjieff Work, nonetheless he considered himself to be an original teacher. He recommended an abandonment of religious tradition in favor of direct experience and asked his audience not to believe anything he said, but to listen for the 'ring of truth' in it. He himself had an influence on a number of other teachers, writers and therapists. The most prominent of these is Eckhart Tolle, best-selling author of The Power of Now, who is on record as saying he loved Barry Long's teaching.

Excerpts from his writings:
"I suppose the most radical part of my teaching at present is that love is not a feeling. Everybody suffers from love, or the fear of it, or the lack of it. Why? Why is love so universally and inevitably heart-breaking, whether it be through the end of a love affair, the death of a loved one or being locked in with the habitual casualness or grim indifference of a partner? The answer is because we've been taught and conditioned by the world to believe that love is a feeling.
Love is not a feeling; it's a sensation. Drinking water when you're thirsty is a sensation, not a feeling. Being in nature or swimming in the sea is a sensation, not a feeling. Lying down when you're tired is sensational, not a feeling, although you may say it feels good. Feeling is an emotional interpretation of experience and these sensations don't need interpretation; they are just good or right. Making physical love rightly is a sensation, not a feeling. So is the love of God. The same goes for joy and beauty; both are sensational.
But in our ignorance we emotionalise joy, beauty and love. We make feelings of them, personal interpretations based on our old emotions. We put our personal past on the present with the result that joy, beauty and love don't seem to last. But it's our emotional substitutes that don't last and we become bored, discontented and unhappy again. The sensation or knowledge of joy, beauty and love is of course still there but it's overwhelmed by these coarser feelings.
Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.
Feelings, even the best of them, turn to negativity – disappointment, anger, discontent, resentment, jealousy, guilt, etc. A good feeling starts off being elevating, exciting, like taking a drug substance, alcohol or having sex. But what goes up must come down and feelings are no exception. So in a couple of hours or days the down side starts and you perhaps wonder why you feel moody, depressed, suicidal or just plain unhappy. You're paying the piper for yesterday's music. And between the upside and the downside is the no-man's and no-woman's land of boredom, indifference, inertia, weariness and pointlessness.
Okay, so you don't have drugs, alcohol and sex but you love someone, as a feeling. Then it won't be long before you'll be experiencing one or more of the painful feelings I've mentioned above – and thinking it's natural! Wait and see. Even in every day living you're continually interpreting experience via your emotions instead of being the experience direct. "This is good, that's bad," your feelings swing subtly to and fro all day long obscuring the reality, the sensational knowledge or gnosis that it's not bad at all; it's simply life as it is.
All feelings are false and deceptive. […] Enlightenment is to be emptied (not empty) of feelings and thus at one with the pure sensation of divine being. And that pretty well sums up the whole spiritual process. But the spiritual process is so little understood that people don't realise their feelings are personal and false and have been misleading them all their life. If that's not true, why is humanity still unenlightened and basically unhappy after all this time – when enlightenment is the completely natural, sensational state of being every moment?
By disidentifying with your feelings you break your attachment to them. When that is done sufficiently you're back at the beginning, in pure sensation or unconditioned knowledge. You've been beating your head against the wall to get some feelings and all you've got to do is break the habit and get used to living anew without pain and conflict. But that's a mighty realisation, and a mighty simple one which few are going to accept – they'll be too busy defending their feelings! So, I guess I'll still be demonstrating this the day I die."
"Enlightenment is enlightenment. And that's that. It's an unalterable, unwavering state of knowledge and being beyond doubt, a completion every moment by grace of the Most High, the unspeakable one, God. That's the ultimate; the absolute being beyond any description. But the ultimate, the enlightenment of man, must translate into his living life. And to me and my teaching that means an enlightened man is liberated from unhappiness. Being and living free of unhappiness is the natural and simple state of all life on earth – except man. He has been misled away from it by spiritual lures and glamour and the result is the conflict and pain, the fluctuating unhappiness, of his short life.
Enlightenment can't be pursued or sought after. […] Truth is here now; no past, no future. People are unenlightened only because they believe in the truth of the past and therefore must look to the rewards of the future. To be enlightened, to return to the original state of life on earth, requires action now in the present with no reference to the past. What has to be done is to kill the old priest in you, starve out the traditionalist, the follower, the believer.
In other words, to be enlightened of the acquired burden every spiritual belief and notion has to be abandoned, every reference to what any spiritual teacher or master has ever said must be set aside. What does that leave? Your own experience. Not your historical or memorable experience, for that's the problem. Your own experience is your self-knowledge of life. Let's establish once and for all what this means now. Forget everything I've said in this article except this question: Do I want to suffer or not suffer NOW? That's the only truth for you. There's no tradition, no past, no discussion in it. It's all you need. Keep it with you and at the next temptation to suffer it will prevent you suffering. But only if you've learned in your own experience what causes you to suffer. If you haven't learned that, you're still attached to suffering and will unwittingly embrace it. In that case you have to read on, take more time and ask yourself more questions."
"Have you learned yet that you only suffer when you think about events or feel about them, that you don't suffer from events themselves? Have you learned yet that every thought about yourself is a thought of the past, that worry is thinking and that all thinking eventually leads to worry, fear and insecurity? If so, each time you go to think, or catch the thinker thinking even about "good" things like last night's movie, don't; stop. Not because Barry Long says so but because you've realised the truth of thinking in your own experience. It's what you've learned from life, not from someone else's experience. Therefore it is the truth for you now and every moment. Otherwise you must go on thinking and go on suffering. One day, when you've had enough of the pain, you'll come to your senses. Have you learned yet that every feeling is a feeling of the past and that every "good" feeling soon changes and eventually becomes the feeling of doubt, confusion, boredom or sorrow? If so, stop believing your feelings; don't act on them; wait."
"Action will happen in its own time. Action taken on strength of feelings inevitably leads to more feelings to correct the action previously taken – and so the feelings of discontent and conflict, and corrective actions go on and on repeating themselves."
"If in your own experience you haven't yet learned the truth of the deception of feelings, then you just have to go on believing and thinking, having faith in the past and hope in the future, being happy today and unhappy tomorrow, but never being in command of your own life for long."
"Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can't make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.
All your problems come down to love. Your love life is what your problem is, and everybody else's on earth. God in existence is man and woman. There's nothing else. And unless you have loved God in existence – your duality which is woman or man – unless you have united with that through love and devotion without going through your feelings of love, you're not going to be enlightened."
"The love of man and woman is the beginning of the love of God. You can realise God within like many men have done. It's one of the rarest things on earth to realise God, but everybody seems to think that that's the end. Where I come from, realising God was the easy part of it. That God of love which is already here anyway – who wouldn't be able to realise it? The difficult part is to bring that God into this world where God or love is not, into that body listening to these words and this body speaking them. That's the task."
"Do you know what humanity is, what the word "human" means? The word human where I come from – which is the enlightened state – means suffering. So when you say you're a human being, you're saying you're a suffering being. And I say you have to get rid of your suffering and then be being. Enlightenment is the state of being which I am, this moment and every moment. So I'm not suffering. But humanity loves to suffer. People love to suffer because they love to get excited with their feelings. All you've got to do is get rid of your feelings, which are always negative. Why not get rid of the whole lot of it, now? That means you don't know feelings and then you don't know negativity, and then you'd be in love, and then you would love everybody by not loving anybody in particular as a feeling. That's the state of enlightenment."
"Knowing Yourself – The true in the false, gradually strips away all self-delusion until all that remains is pure being."
"KNOWING YOURSELF means being able to separate the true from the false in yourself – love from emotion, joy from sentiment, Will from desire. No man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery – the source of truth.
You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.
You are either ready to discover yourself or you are not. Ready means you have been knowingly or unknowingly practicing self-observation.
You don't gather knowledge when you are getting to know yourself; you lose it. Many of your firmest ideas go out the window. You may feel naked, vulnerable, threatened, argumentative, angry.
It is a little known fact that truth cannot be memorized. Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment. It is always fresh, always new, always there for the still, innocent mind that has experienced life without needing to hold on to what has gone before.
Absorb what is said as you read but endeavor not to hold on to it or think about it. Read in the moment and each step will take you closer to complete self-knowledge.
You must not believe me. You must realize it in yourself know it, for it is beyond words and thinking. And it has to be experienced without recourse to drugs or insanity.
To believe what another says about you is unconscious, robot thinking. Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.
Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself 'Is the statement true or false in my experience?'
Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognized by the person ready to discover it."
"It is the conscious man or woman who finds the secret of happiness and contentment; and that, surely, is the ultimate success."
"To listen, to learn, your mind has to be still. Have you ever observed that you can have only one thought in your mind at a time?"
"When self-knowledge reveals the answer it will be a living fact in your own experience. At any time you wish to experience the answer it will be there, just as you can say 'It is night' or 'It is day'. You will know, while the rest of the world is arguing and speculating.
The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.
This process of self-discovery is scientific and the invariable rule of science has to be applied – experiment and observe. The experiment is to ask the question; the observation is to look at yourself and see what happens. Being a science the law cannot vary. Any apparent variation is in you: you will have stepped off the way of facts into conclusions. The sun is either shining or it is not. You do not have to conclude; you just look.
When you observe yourself you must not condemn or approve what you see. If you tell a lie there is no need to judge your-self. The judge cannot be the judged, and even to accept is to judge.
Your object is to see yourself exactly as you are. Self-knowledge is the discovery of the new: it looks beyond the world that has all the answers and no solutions."
"The truth is that once you discover something is false you lose interest in it. Man no longer treasures what he thought was genuine once he discovers it is false. In this way truth is its own solution. Self-knowledge is the discovery of the false. You do not have to find what is true: when the false is discarded truth is there. It always was. Just keep observing the fact and the change will come automatically and will he lasting."
"Love is beyond description; but not beyond demonstrating. Love is beyond the mind because it is always new. Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old. So the mind is a modifier, a reactor; a renovator, but it cannot create the new."
"When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love. You can only experience the new when you are aware, when you are without thought."
"IF YOU LOOK at life's totality you will notice that every living thing exists for something else. The failure to give and receive is followed first by unconsciousness and then death."
"Man conscious is man immortal. Man conscious gives to the creation as no other thing can give and is beyond death. But it is no use my just saying this. You must discover it, realize it for yourself."
"Worry is a purely selfish expression. The fact is that to worry or suffer mentally you have to have an opinion. You have to say 'That is bad in relation to me.' The opinion will prevent you from seeing the truth."
"THE STATE OF AWARENESS is the state in which you see things as they are: the precious facility that life has given man to escape the mastery of the robot. It is the habit of the mind to destroy the state of awareness as quickly as possible. It does this by judging, for judging is thinking.
There is only one thing in your life YOU can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. The last moment has gone forever. The next moment has not come. YOU can become fully conscious only when you are living in the moment. To begin to live in the moment you have to know it exists and understand it. To understand it you have to observe it in relation to yourself and in relation to life. When you understand it, when you become conscious, you will see it is all that exists. To see this is to glimpse reality.
The more you observe life in relation to yourself the more you will see the fact that you are hardly ever correct when you think about something in the future. The future exists only in imagination; and that is why, no matter how hard you try to imagine it, you will not be able to predict the future with total certainty.
The moment is your only duty. Your duty at any time in your life is to do what you have to do from moment to moment. What you have to do is what you cannot avoid doing. What you cannot avoid doing is what you do."
"It is only because you are a machine that you suffer; and the purpose of suffering is to wake you up.
The moment is God's will. Life reveals itself only to the conscious. The disharmony is in the robot mind's desire to control life to suit its individual interests – an impossibility; but you keep trying.
We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstanding.
You will become more conscious if you use the moment of being rebuked or blamed to observe your reaction. You will observe yourself making an excuse, giving a reason.
Each moment provides a challenge to you to become conscious. The game is to be waiting, and aware.
You can predict exactly what a machine will do if you have sufficient knowledge of it. A machine cannot go beyond the limitations of its design. The man-machine fears death because a machine cannot see beyond its own destruction.
One of the greatest steps in self-discovery is to see that you are a machine. Only the few who have real knowledge will admit to being machines.
The man-machine will crucify any conscious man who tries to help him; and convert his wisdom into an empty, mechanical dogma that suits his own understanding."
"YOU ARE WHAT you believe you are. You live, enjoy life and suffer according to that belief. What you believe, you live; or you do not believe it."
"To be conscious is to be consciousness: Consciousness, the knower in you, cannot be known, although it can be experienced. You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist."
"You think: you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost. The highest knowledge man can possess is that which is true in his own experience. If his experience is limited, so is his knowledge and he behaves accordingly.
The fact is always simple. The difficulty is in seeing it through the mind which always takes the imaginative way – until it is stilled. The mind knows it is the master in imagination and the slave of the fact. It will fight you all the way to self-knowledge. And why not? It is the only enemy."
"WE HAVE SEEN that hunger and breathing are desires of the body. There are other desires that are not of the body, but again man seldom pauses to observe these desires in himself. For us who are observers of ourselves there can never be a hidden desire or hidden motivation. If we are always observing ourselves nothing hidden can come in without being spotted, and nothing hidden can get done, because we (the master) are always there."
"Before you can escape from your burrow you must know you are trapped. Then there's a chance."
"If God exists, God can be experienced; but only by you.
Reasonable acceptance, our way of living, is imperfect. But God, if God exists, must be perfect and beyond reason.
Reason is a mighty faculty but it is still below the state of awareness, of pure experiencing, which is the state you are in when you know 'I exist' or 'I am'.
The fact is that unless you experience something for yourself it does not exist for you. If God exists you must have the experience of God in the moment; otherwise you are absent and God cannot exist for you.
To go beyond reason we have to climb up the ladder of reason and go to the top of it. This will not upset reason as it is interested only in assembling the facts, whatever they might be. Reason is an ever-loyal tool; imagination an ever-failing fool.
At the top of the ladder is awareness, or pure experience – the edge of yourself, and possibly the beginning of God.
Many mystics have said, and it is true, that anything you see is not God. Anything you think is not God, neither are visions, lights, moving objects or anything else. Any sensation or feeling is not God. They are all the products of the creation or your imagination.
The Creator has to be experienced beyond the five senses and the only instrument that can experience in this way, for you, is yourself – in the state of thoughtless awareness in which you declare 'I am' and hold it.
In the beginning the entire creation seems to hinder, obstruct and try to keep you away from experiencing the Creator. It is the way of things that only the unrelenting, indomitable individual can escape and experience God. The curious masses always fail. Later on, all things help, not hinder, the valiant ones.
On the way to God you have to pass through beauty, pure beauty. If you do not pass through beauty it is not God that you find. Beauty stands at the gate of the kingdom of heaven. It is of the Creator, but not the Creator; and it is all-mighty.
Beauty is the only uncreated thing you can experience apart from God. Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem. It will not stay still and you cannot make it stay still. It is your master and it separates you from beauty and God. So to experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
Reason does not need thinking. If you observe yourself making a plan you will notice that having fixed the object, the facts just keep coming, linking up into a chain of proposed action. Awareness is experiencing from moment to moment. Reason acts quickly in awareness, a thousand times faster than thought, and you do not even notice it is operating."
"You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the timeless – waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed."
"Love is a power, a mighty principle that exists in its own right independent of any individual. Man changes, but the principle of love does not and cannot. Love does not leave men and women. Men and women leave love.
Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring. When at rest the air is easily offended and will flee even from the fanning of a leaf, as love flees from the first thought. But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it.
The understanding of love comes with the knowledge that you are nothing. The greatest purity is nothing or nothingness – no thinking, no desiring, no imagining. You are then one with the moment and the great movement of life so nothing can happen that is not right. Every moment is perfect and everything that happens is eternally just."
"The truth every man and woman seeks is in themselves. Nothing is true unless it is true in your own experience. This is your protection against being duped or misled."

The Internet is at times criticized (normally by parents who consider their children want to be outdoors far more often) as leading folks to be sitting in front of their computer systems all day increasing bulbous, lethargic and (based on who you speak to) stupid. When you sort an address into your browser'"like lifehacker.com'"your computers uses something named DNS to appear up and translate that into a laptop-friendly IP address. Often, even though, the servers your computer uses to appear up that information can have problems, or go down completely. Check out our guide to obtaining the quickest ( and most safe ) DNS servers for more data. If your default DNS servers are not getting difficulties, then you almost certainly will not uncover as well considerably of an improvement with an alternative server'"but it may possibly speed up your browsing by a few milliseconds, at least.
If you have several computers at property and want to use all of them to access the Web, you could want to generate a property network, also recognized as a Wi-Fi network. In a residence network, all of your devices connect to your router, which is connected to the modem. This indicates everyone in your family can use the Web at the very same time.
The Internet is not synonymous with World Wide Web The Web is a huge network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computer systems collectively globally, forming a network in which any pc can communicate with any other laptop as extended as they are each connected to the Internet. The Globe Wide Internet, or just Net, is a way of accessing data over the medium of the World wide web. It is an info-sharing model that is constructed on prime of the Internet.
The variety of Web access you pick will figure out the variety of modem you want. Dial-up access uses a phone modem, DSL service uses a DSL modem, cable access utilizes a cable modem, and satellite service uses a satellite adapter. Your ISP may possibly give you a modem—often for a fee—when you sign a contract, which helps make certain that you have the appropriate sort of modem. Nevertheless, if you would favor to shop for a much better or much less expensive modem, you can select to buy 1 separately.
The study revealed that most postgraduates (95.five per cent) belonging to rural locations were computer literate. Further, most of them had accessed the internet for communication purposes and for locating general and academic details. The outcomes showed no significant differences in between rural and urban students for the use of pc and web, usage patterns of OPAC like search engines and the ease of OPAC use and their expectations from OPAC. The only significant variations located amongst each groups have been for their reactions for the duration of unsuccessful searches. Hence, the background of users at the postgraduate level does not significantly impact the use of personal computer and world wide web, details browsing behaviour patterns on the net and library systems, particularly OPAC.

Here is another card for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place, using one of my favourite tutorials from Beccy's Place.
My Z words are:
Zoo images (as in petting zoo) - from Beccy's Place
Z Fold Card (Double) - tutorial from Beccy's Place
The sentiment is also from Beccy's Place. Colouring is with copic markers using outline colouring on the sheep. The die used to cut the sentiment is from Spellbinders. I also used two shades of green cardstock for the base and paper from a christmas paper pad for the layering.
I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

This post made me laugh Suze, not because of the beautiful card you made, but at the name you gave to the colour you used... "zucchini"! This would have to be one of the best interpretations I've seen for this challenge, I love it!ReplyDelete
Your card is fabulous and the "zucchini" colour scheme is wonderful. I really like the collection of papers you used. Great job on the hand drawn border too.

Cancelled fundamental bass technique revisited – in xFer Serum!
Today we are revisiting the "cancelled fundamental" technique we addressed in the Vini Vici & Astrix Adhana style bass tutorial.
When initially attempting to recreate this sound in the xFer Serum plugin I was unsuccessful based on the fact that I was somewhat over-complicating things. I completely overlooked the fact that Serum has an additive mode built into the advanced waveform editor section. This allows you to build your waveforms from the ground up, using FFT theory. For those who don't know too much about additive synthesis, FFT or "Fixed Fourier Transform" is the concept of building complex waveforms using a series sine waves at various frequency intervals. The difference in the interval's amplitude and phase is what actually creates varying waveforms.
In additive synthesis, a Sawtooth wave (the basis of a large portion of psytrance bass sounds) is made up of sine waves spread at even harmonics through the spectrum. If we reduce the first parameter in the FFT view, we have removed the fundamental sine wave from the sawtooth waveform. Not only is this much easier than using the cancelled fundamental trick, due to the fact that we are using less resources – the process will be slightly more CPU-friendly.
Let's look at adding some effects…
Serum's sub oscillator features a very nifty "direct out" setting, that sends the oscillator directly to the outputs, bypassing the filters and effects. This is great if you want to add some heavy distortion or other processing without affecting the nature of the fundamental sub tone.
So depending on the outcome you're looking for, you can choose either the cancelled fundamental trick with Sylenth1 if you want to get tricky with the oscillator tuning, or you can use Serum's FFT mode if you want to get tricky with the processing.
Here's the previous episode on the Sylenth1 cancelled fundamental technique:

From Sarah Powers of Safe Routes to School:
On behalf of Chimborazo Elementary School and the PTA, please allow me to invite you to the Chimborazo Safe Routes to School Walkabout Study on May 3rd, 2017! We will meet at 8:15a in front of the school and end by 10:15a. I understand this is short notice, but we had to work around the SOL testing period that's approaching. It is ok if you can only attend for part of the time. Or if you are unable to attend, you are welcome to send a representative in your place.
Participation in the walkabout involves helping to identify key barriers and issues to students walking or biking to school, including infrastructure and physical safety. The total time commitment will be no more than two hours. We will divide into small groups after meeting as a larger group and participants will be provided with tools to record issues as they make observations around the school.
A Department of Public Works Operations Manager for Traffic Engineering will be in attendance and contributing his 30+ year breadth of knowledge and expertise working on Virginia and RVA transportation. Additionally, staff from Richmond City Health District and Fit4Kids, as well as Peter Paul Development Center and other local organizations, will be participating.
Following the walkabout, I will develop a report of recommendations that the school and other organizations can use to develop grant proposals to address identified barriers. Programming through the current SRTS initiative will also be enhanced by this information. We are truly looking to support program outcomes that contribute to increased physical activity (and better mental wellbeing for learning) and healthier, safer communities through community organization and technical assistance/capacity building.

Stock pot
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Stock pot is a generic name for one of the most common types of cooking pot used worldwide. A stock pot is traditionally used to make stock or broth, which can be the basis for cooking more complex recipes. It is a wide pot with a flat bottom, straight sides, a wide opening to the full diameter of the pot, two handles on the sides, and a lid with a handle on top.
French Chef Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935) published "A Guide to Modern Cookery" in 1907. On the first page, Escoffier writes, "stocks are the keynote of culinary structure" in French cuisine. A stock or broth is made by simmering water for several hours, to continuously cook added foods such as pieces of meat, meat bones, fish or vegetables. The slow simmering process transfers flavours, colours and nutrients to the water, where they blend, and a new ingredient is thus created, the broth or stock.
A broth made with meat or meat bones creates a base with concentrated flavours and aromas, even without the addition of salt or herbs or spices. This is what is referred to as soup base. Stock pots are also used for cooking stews, porridge, boiled foods, steamed shellfish, and a vast variety of recipes.
Stock pots have great versatility, and so they are used for many cooking purposes, and occasionally non-cooking purposes. Large stock pots may be used at home to boil clothing, wool or yarn for colour dying, for example. They do not come in standard sizes. The size of the pot is normally given on the manufacturer's label by volume, for example 12 litres.
The most common materials for manufacturing stock pots are stainless steel, aluminium, copper and enamel (Vitreous enamel) on metal. More expensive types of stock pots have bottoms that are made of layers of different metals, to enhance heat conductivity.
A recent innovation sculpts the pot sides to harness the boiling liquid into a self-stirring pot.[1]

Posted inSelf-Service
Customer Self-Service has been shown to reduce costs in contact centres by as much as 20%, and Chatbots could increase that to 30%. Isn't it time you considered adding this option to your contact centre?
Letting your customers serve themselves may, initially, seem to be the complete opposite of delivering personalised, friendly and human customer service. But, in many cases it's what the customer wants and what they expect. Some people just like sorting things out for themselves while others may want to make purchases out of office hours which agent-only service wouldn't allow.In fact, buying via Self-Service has been shown to increase the revenue per user by as much as 18%.
Self-Service evolution
Increased labour costs and flattening, or even decreasing, ARPU (Average Revenue Per User), has seen organisations shift engagement from live agents to less-expensive automated channels. Initially, this was to provide basic, repetitive services to free up agent time and provide simple responses about customers' accounts, opening times, deliveries and other routine information. However, consumers soon became highly proficient at interacting online and sorting out issues for themselves. This was helped by more intuitive user interfaces which transformed Self-Service into a powerful set of customer engagement capabilities.
If delivered correctly, everyone wins. Companies save money and deliver a better service to appreciative consumers who deepen their loyalty. Not only that, your business becomes scalable and can deliver services 24x7.
Enabling Self-Service via IVR, website, mobile app, SMS or social media means consumers save on their most precious commodity ... time.
They also enjoy greater control which can make their interactions feel more positive. So, how can your contact centre deliver great Self-Service to consumers successfully?
What you should do to deliver great Self-Service:
- Optimise the user experience for the device being used to access Self-Service. Today, consumers expect you to be responsive to match their chosen device telephone, laptop, mobile or tablet.
- Be prepared for channel shifting which regularly happens – up to 40% of the time. Include this in your research, consideration and buying decision. Enabling this, and helping your contact centre agents to keep up with it, will create a seamless journey.
- Personalise the offers to the customer wherever you can. To do this you'll need historic data on what they looked for plus what devices and channels they used
- Give your customers the option to switch to a live agent when needed and then make sure that the agent has the full engagement history to avoid asking the customer to repeat information.
- Integrate selected social media features for advice and help.
Today's consumer interacts through a number of channels, including Self-Service (mobile, web, IVR, kiosk or social media applications), so it's important to make sure that your offers and personalisation are consistent on every channel to create a unified experience. This principle also needs to extend to the payment options where, again, you'll need to offer the latest methods and in a consistent manner for the best engagement.
Fast and painless adoption...
The best Self-Service technology is easy for consumers to use and simple for you to deploy. You don't need to turn your business upside down or spend a fortune.
Cloud-based services can be added quickly and easily on a pay-as-you-go basis. What's more, Self-Service pays for itself quickly ... it allows you to do far more with less.

Armstrong Creek Town Centre
A vibrant heart for a future village
Armstrong Creek is Victoria's largest contiguous growth area: 2500 hectares earmarked for development in the Geelong region, which is itself regional Victoria's fastest growing area. Our masterplan for the town centre is the first step in a complex 12-stage, 2600-hectare greenfields development that will ultimately deliver homes for up to 65,000 residents, 22,000 jobs, and a sustainable, walkable, vibrant community.
"The Armstrong Creek Town Centre will be the commercial and social heart of the Armstrong Creek growth area."
City of Greater Geelong
Our masterplan creates a vibrant heart for the new town by integrating land to the north and south of a main road using human scale, walkable distance, strong connection to community facilities and diverse clusters of use. Anchor tenants are placed in quadrants and the main car access is located at the perimeter.
Environmentally sustainable design is a strong feature of this development. The town centre uses innovative e-concrete panels made from recycled ash, extensive solar power including street lighting, and stormwater diversion to existing wetlands. This helps support the natural environment and reduce running costs over the lifecycle of the development.
"Architecture can't solve every problem, but it helps. Successful social integration begins with architectural placemaking."
Teddy Chung, Associate, Retail and Mixed-Use
This fully integrated, walkable, sustainable town centre is a critical first step in an ambitious masterplan that will ultimately involve most sectors at Clarke Hopkins Clarke: education, senior living and aged care, health, community and mixed use. It will be closely linked to planned train station and lead the growth of this entire corridor.
By drawing on our experience creating vibrant communities, we are delivering a town centre that supports walkable urbanism, healthy lifestyles and social, economic and environmental sustainability throughout the broader development.

Commented above, the persistent metapopulations (with their adequate mathematics) represent a counterexample to those model findings which were originally called for to uncrown the ecological paradigm of stability due to complexity. Other counterexamples of this kind appeared soon after the stability-versus-complexity theme had been coined into the field of population and community models. It was argued, for instance, that a few constraints imposed on the randomly constructed webs to create a statistical 'universe' of all possible webs with a fixed set of complexity parameters were still too loose to generate a sample of ecosystem structures. For example, a randomly constructed web of n species may happen to have n trophic levels, whereas real ecosystems, as was noted in the section entitled 'Qualitative stability and sign-stable community matrices', cannot have more than five to six trophic levels. Also, pure randomness may result in random formation of food loops where the top consumer is eaten by a species two levels lower in that food chain, which is certainly unrealistic. Moreover, an ecosystem should form on a primary resource species, that is, at least one row of the random matrix should not contain any pluses. All these additional constraints reduce the set of ecosystem prototypes to a very low fraction of the universe of randomly constructed webs, and Monte Carlo simulations within that fraction bet rather on the stability-due-to-complexity paradigm.
However, theoretical results of community matrix stability analyses, which can hardly be disproved as mathematical facts, still tend to support the opposite view. It can however not be stated that mathematics always proves complexity to counteract stability. For instance, the effect of predator-mediated coexistence, that is, stabilization of unstable competitors by the complication of the trophic structure, was both observed empirically and proved mathematically in the proper models.
Even indisputable mathematical facts can hardly put an end to any stability-versus-complexity dispute for some fundamental reasons. First, ecological stability has no stable definition in mathematical terms. While quantitative persistence gives the most general analog, the local Lyapunov stability suggests only one of various modes of persistence. Second, it is only a restricted class of systems (the dissipative ones of the general n and some particular cases of low n < 3) where local stability analysis comprehends the global dynamic behavior. Local stability can generally not guarantee global stability, while persistence does generally not require global stability. Third, various studies within the stability-versus-complexity theme usually differ in their stability or/and complexity definitions and particular setups. Different answers are therefore logical consequences from differences in the formal questions imposed.
Although stability-versus-complexity controversy has little chance to be ever resolved, its provoking and stimulating role is indisputable for theoretical and experimental studies in several related environments -fields, laboratories, mathematics, and computers.

Tariffs would damage US car industry, EU warns Trump
(BRUSSELS) - Imposing tariffs on imports of EU cars would damage US trade and its own car industry, the European Union warned Monday in formal comments to the United States Department of Commerce.
The European Union made its formal submission in the framework of an on-going United States investigation on the 'impact on US national security' of imports of automobiles, including cars, SUVs, vans, light trucks and automotive parts.
The current US investigation 'lacks legitimacy, factual basis and violates international trade rules', the EU suggested, comparing it to a similar investigation that eventually led to the imposition of steel and aluminium tariffs earlier this year.
In its submission, which is available online, the EU reiterates firm opposition to a proliferation of measures taken on supposed national security grounds' for the purposes of economic protection.
This development, it says, 'harms trade, growth and jobs in the US and abroad, weakens the bonds with friends and allies, and shifts the attention away from the shared strategic challenges that genuinely threaten the market-based Western economic model'.
The EU and the US industry specialise in largely different market segments and over the last 5 years imports from the EU have been stable.
The EU makes clear that it sees no economic threat to the US automobile industry which it says is healthy, so imposing restrictive measures would in fact undermine current positive trends of the US automobile sector.
EU car companies which operate in the US export about 60 mper cent of their US production to other countries, which therefore contributes substantially to the US trade balance and provides 120,000 direct and 420,000 indirect jobs.
The EU warns that trade restrictions are likely to lead to higher input costs for US based producers, and this would translate in effect into a tax on American consumers.
The impact of potential new US tariffs on imported cars would be aggravated significantly by the likely countermeasures of US trading partners, as evidenced by the reaction to the US section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium.
The EU has requested to participate in a public hearing to be held by the US Department of Commerce scheduled for 19 and 20 July.

Highlights of the First Quarter of 2019
How many times can I say I'm in a weird in-between period without it starting to sound reductive? As I have expressed, the last year has been an incredible dream-come-true, but also very strange and a true test of my patience. I spent most of 2018 locked away writing my debut book The Greater Freedom:

I got to Chariton around 7:30 and parked east of the depot at Auburn St. A group of men was standing on the north side of the rails across from the depot working on a downed power line. KRS was on the Ottumwa desk and at 7:50 I heard him tell someone that he would have the first of four westbounds in Ottumwa in about an hour.
I could hear distributed power EOT noises on the scanner and from other clues, concluded that a load was coming up Whitebreast Hill. Before long they called the K.C. line dispatcher to report encountering a yellow signal at MP 344 and then a red signal at 341.8 as they approached the bottom of the hill. Their next signal was clear.
The DP coal train finally appeared and passed the depot at 8:30. BNSF 8819 led the AEPX cars into the mainline's "ESS" curve in Chariton. Bringing up the rear of the train was BNSF 9656. While they were passing, I heard the Osceola detector report a train on Main 2. The Russell detector recorded 532 axles for the AEPX load.
Track Inspector Hamilton had already contacted the dispatcher about riding track to the east, but the dispatcher asked if he could go west on Main 1 to check on the signal problem. After some discussion about the mains being separated, Hamilton suggested that a Signal Maintainer be called instead, so Rick McKinley was called out. Interestingly, when warrants are given these days to HiRail vehicles, the dispatcher inquires if they are "GPS Equipped", and if so gets a number from the driver.
I moved to the west end of the yard to get a picture of a work train loco, BN 1523, and to await the next eastbound. They came up the hill and into town at 9:07 with two units leading WFAX hoppers. On the point were BNSF 9826 and 8899.
Signal Maintainer McKinley had watched things at the bottom of the hill, and this train did not have any problems. He then got a warrant to ride up Main 2 and before long reported a broken rail at MP 340.3, an "impassable" break in an old weld. A call was put out to the Osceola section, but their truck was broken down, so a crew from Albia was to come over and make the repair instead.
Amtrak was the next eastbound, so Switch Tender Tom Leyhart was called to assist in crossing the Zephyr over to Main 1. I relocated to the bottom of Whitebreast to wait on the passenger train. The signal man was just setting off the rails and leaving for Chariton when I got there. For a while I considered hiking up the right of way to check out the break, but that figured to be about an hour roundtrip. I didn't want to miss No. 6 (which would be on a separated right of way) and I wasn't sure how much time I would have before the welders showed up at the break, so I decided to just hang out at the bottom of the hill.
The switch tender arrived well ahead of Amtrak and waited for a call on the radio. About ten 'til eleven they tried to call but for some reason, after using the KC frequency at Osceola, had switched back to the Omaha line channel. After someone aboard pointed out that they needed to switch to "six-six", they notified the switch tender and he lined the crossovers just as they were coming through Lucas.
After making the required five minute pause after dropping the signals on the westbound main, Amtrak proceeded. Speaking of signals, the one on Main 2 was still green in spite of the broken rail. This railroad may have narrowly missed having a derailment today. In No. 6's sixty-axle consist today:
AMTK 156 and 182The day had become warmer but overcast. On the radio I could hear KRS squeezing four trains into the CTC at Albia on Main 1 to wait for the passenger train. Before long all had warrants to take them on to the west and were just waiting bumper-to-bumper for the Zephyr to cross back to Main 2 at Halpin.
Baggage 1222
Transition Sleeper 39034
Coaches 34006, 34022 and 31504
Sightseer Lounge 33003
Diner 38062
Sleepers 32066 and 32068
Three boxcars and one Roadrailer
I drove west, alert for any traffic that might have been let out of Creston following the Zephyr. At 11:15 I heard an eastbound on the detector east of Osceola and made a U-turn. The train was told on the radio that they would be holding while repairs were completed on Whitebreast. They reminded the dispatcher that they'd been delayed at Creston after a 7:20 call this morning. I drove south on a gravel road to a grade crossing and waited for them.
For a short time I could hear the train's dynamic brakes, then things got quiet. As a few sprinkles of rain started hitting the windshield I moved west, staying as close to the tracks as I could. Signals were lit behind me, so I knew I was getting close. I found them killing time near MP 347, a DTCX load with BNSF 9606 and 8278 (still in warbonnet paint) in charge. They would wait for about an hour and a half before Main 2 opened up again.
Knowing that several westbounds would be released at Halpin when the Zephyr arrived, I went to Osceola, got some lunch, and parked at the depot. These trains were still closely packed, right on each other's "taillight", when they came through town. Sunlight was returning and the detector east of town reported 53 degrees by now.
and 9875 with 121 OGSX cars, probably from
the electric plant near Chillicothe, known as "ISU" on the railroad.
1:01 - BNSF 8803 and 8989 with 127 MPWX hoppers.
1:13 - BNSF 9426, 9894 and 6355 with 109 GCCX tub gondolas.
1:30 - BNSF 8810 with 130 UCEX hoppers and BN 9657 in the rear.
Although by now I knew that a couple of eastbounds had been released at Creston, I decided not to wait on them and headed for home.
That's It!

It's the start of another week, and, alas, my flirtation with healthy eating shall continue! Per my trainer's request, I've been keeping a food journal over the past couple weeks, and it's both hilarious and eye opening.
What I've learned is that on the weekdays I'm actually pretty good…oatmeal at my desk, lots of salads, healthy dinners, etc…
But once the weekend hits…oh lordy…the floodgates are flung wide open. I actually giggled out loud to myself as I penciled in "fried cheese curds" after our recent fair outing. I'm sure my trainer will understand…right?
OK, how about this healthy option instead?
Curried Chicken Salad Wrap
- 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 cups diced, cooked chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallion
- 1/2 cup diced apple
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 head butter lettuce
- salt & pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- In a larger bowl, toss together the chicken, scallions, apple, raisins, and almonds. Pour in the yogurt mixture and mix until thoroughly incorporated with the chicken mixture. (Add the yogurt mixture in batches as you may not need all of it). Adjust seasoning with salt & pepper to taste.
- Heat a tortilla over med/high heat in a non-stick frying pan.
- Lay the warm tortilla on a flat service, add a bed of 1-2 butter lettuce leaves, and scoop one-fourth of the chicken salad on top of the lettuce. Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the bottom end as you roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serves 4
PS…in case you were wondering, yes,
the fried cheese curds were totally freaking delicious.

Zoning Code Amendments and Updates
Since the adoption of the 2010 General Plan, the City has been focusing its zoning efforts on the implementation of new or updated zoning text amendments to maintain consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The City is now considering a multi-year process to update remaining portions of the Zoning Ordinance.
In working with the Zoning Ordinance on a day-to-day basis and answering the public's questions, staff has identified issues that would benefit from additional clarity or refined regulations. This update process will address topics and issues of importance to the community, in conjunction with appropriate public outreach.
Phase 4 - Use Tables
On August 21, 2018, staff presented possible topics and issues for zoning code cleanups. One of these issues was creating use tables. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance separately lists permitted uses by zoning district. This can be a challenging format if you are looking for a business location, as you would have to search 24 separate articles for use permissions. Staff could create comprehensive use tables, that use consistent terms and allow for easy understanding about permitted and unpermitted uses.
On January 11, 2019, staff will bring the first phase of the effort to Planning Commission with an example of Residential Use tables. This cleanup involves amending, adding or removing definitions as needed, creating Use Tables, and cleaning up terms throughout the code.
Phase 3 - Level of Review Authority amendments and reorganization of permit sections
On February 22, 2016, the City Council directed staff to consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Downtown Precise Plan to amend the level of review authority for certain projects. This phase will also include a reorganization of permit sections, with consolidation of common procedural requirements in a single article.
This item is being considered by the Planning Commission at their Tuesday, October 18, 2016 public hearing, and is tentatively scheduled for final Council review and adoption on Monday, November 21, 2016.
Phase 2 - Updating CN Zoning District uses, clarifying zoning requirements for massage, arbors, and miscellaneous cleanup
The second phase of zoning amendments included clarifying the massage ordinance, and updating uses allowed in the Commercial Neighborhood District, among other changes. See the public notice for a summary. This item was considered by Planning Commission at their April 5, 2016 hearing and was approved by City Council on Monday, May 23, 2016. This ordinance will be effective July 13, 2016.
Phase 1 - Remove outdated language, miscellaneous procedural and wording, and reorganizing sections relating to site improvements
The first phase of zoning amendments included removing outdated language for zoning districts that no longer exist, temporary fireworks sales which are no longer allowed, and similar language. There was also miscellaneous procedural and wording cleanup as well as a reorganization of sections relating to site improvements for residential properties. The amendments were adopted by City Council on July 27, 2015.
