Avalokiteshvara Empowerment
Venerable Ngawang Jorden Rinpoche (Former Abbot of Sera Mey Monastery) will confer the empowerment of Avalokiteshvara (1,000 Armed Chenrezig) at DNKL on Sunday, May 26, 2019.
The Avalokiteshvara initiation is required for those who wish to fully engage in the Nyungne practice (described below). You must be a serious practitioner who has already taken Buddhist refuge vows to qualify for this empowerment. Those who have taken the empowerment previously are encouraged to do so again to repair broken samaya vows.
If you are interested in attending, please register so we can plan accordingly.
About Venerable Ngawang Jorden Rinpoche (Former Abbot of Sera Mey Monastery)
Nyungne Purification Practice Retreat
The Nyungne practice is considered the most powerful form of purification. This year our practice begins on Saturday, June 15, during the holy time of Saka Dawa. This is the day our Lord Buddha was born, reached enlightenment and passed into parinirvana. The merit generated from engaging in virtuous activities on this day are vastly multiplied.
A single Nyungne retreat purifies the negativity of forty thousand eons. During this practice we engage in physical fasting, maintain silence, and practice one-pointed concentration, purifying the negative karmic actions of body, speech and mind and their resulting obscurations.

No offense to the ladies of MTV's Teen Mom, but I'm not exactly sure if any of them have the perfect relationship. How could they, really? I mean with zillions of people following and commenting on their every move, that can't be easy. Somehow, though, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have been doing pretty alright. In fact, the engaged duo is downright adorable, even after almost 10 years of dating.
Tyler took to Twitter to boast about his lust for Catelynn earlier this week, joking about their steamy evening together and hashtagged his love note #stillhotforya #9yearslater. Wow, nine years?! I love that these cuties are so happily in love after such a chunk of time.
Want the same admirable, long-term romance? Check out these 4 tips to making the love last:
1. Try new things together: There's something absolutely fabulous about trying something new. Whether it's traveling to a new location or hopping on a bicycle for the first time in 15 years, sharing these experiences with your significant other is a guaranteed way to smile and enjoy one another. Plus, tackling unfamiliar territory is a guaranteed memory maker. More memories = more fun.
2. Speak your mind: No successful relationship is formed off of two people who can't communicate. It's super important to talk to your partner about the things that are on your mind, whether they're about your relationship or not. Your partner should be your best friend and confidante, and if something is bothering you they can't help you move forward if you don't talk to them about it.

3. Show appreciation: This is the No. 1 thing that makes me appreciate my boyfriend now. It's not just showing up with roses every few months -- it's grabbing someone a glass of water when they're already in bed. It's cleaning the tub after they shower so things are sparkling when it's your turn. It's getting up early when they don't want to just because they know Saturday brunch with your parents means a lot. When someone feels appreciated in a relationship, they reciprocate.
4. Mix things up in the bedroom: A relationship where two people can openly talk about what they like in the bedroom is a good relationship. Sexy stuff can be awkward no matter how much you like a person, but being satisfied in the bedroom is critical. With that said, try new things. Just like tackling new experiences outside the sheets -- it's always a good sign when you're willing to go outside your comfort zone to make your man happy in bed.
Do you have any tips to staying happy in a relationship?

Welp, WP decided to eat my previous post so this will be a bit more terse.
I'm going to deviate from Ali McVey's WIP because I am too sloppy a painter to finish outer coats without base coating under them. Took me about two hours just to get the orange and black down and the touch-ups still aren't complete.
Going to finish base coats today and hopefully get to some shading tonight or tomorrow.

The move to EMV transactions around the world is gathering pace, new data has shown, though there is still a large amount of work to be done in some territories in order to make the technology the standard for payments.
Although it has been nearly two decades since the first standards for EMV technology were drawn up, it is only in the past few years that efforts to roll out the solution as standard have really gathered speed, and the pace has not been uniform around the world. While Europe, for example, has seen widespread use of the technology for over ten years, it was only in 2015 that the US shifted EMV liability at point of sale terminals – which is a key spur for merchants to migrate to the technology.
However, new data shows that acceptance of EMV around the world is gathering pace as more cards and merchants are equipped with the technology.
Research from EMVCo, the technical body responsible for managing the EMV standard, revealed that during the period between July 2015 and June 2016, more than four out of ten transactions globally (42.2 percent) were EMV-compliant. This compares to just 33 percent for the preceding 12 months.
This is defined as transactions where both the card and terminal are EMV-enabled. The leading region for EMV usage in card-present transactions was Europe Zone 1, where 97.6 percent of transactions were EMV-compliant. This was only a slight increase from 97 percent in 2014-15, indicating how EMV has reached saturation point in this market.
Meanwhile, 89.9 percent of card-present transactions in Africa and the Middle East were EMV-compliant. This was followed by Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean (88.8 percent) and Europe Zone 2 (74 percent).
The US still lags behind the rest of the world when it comes to EMV usage, with just seven percent of card-present transactions being compliant. However, this was up from almost zero in 2014-15, with EMVCo noting this marks significant acceleration.
Soumya Chakrabarty, EMVCo executive committee chair, commented: "In addition to increasing global usage, the most recent data shows rapid adoption of EMV technology in regions that have recently implemented EMV chip infrastructures, such as the United States and China. With this continued migration, EMVCo expects these figures to increase in the coming year, which could mean that global EMV transaction volumes would exceed half of all card-present payments."
However, despite the progress, there is still some way to go. This was illustrated recently with the news that the EMV liability shift for gas stations in the US has been pushed back by three years, in order to give merchants more time to make the necessary upgrades to pumps. The shift – after which responsibility for card-present fraud falls on merchants rather than banks – was originally meant to take place in October 2017, but has now been delayed to October 2020.
In a statement, Visa explained that in some cases, older pumps may need to be replaced completely to become EMV-compliant, which will require specialist vendors and work such as breaking into concrete. Overall, it is expected to cost the industry around $4 billion to bring gas station pumps throughout the US in line with EMV requirements.
"We are constantly monitoring industry progress and attempting to proactively address marketplace realities," Visa said. "We believe we have reached a balanced conclusion for providing needed, additional time to merchants while continuing to push forward with the migration to chip."

Just for the record, there is a more updated version of a contract modules in https://bitbucket.org/nantic/trytond-contract
I think the move template from issue4407 answer the question.
I don't think it is right to have the system posting moves automatically, this should always be validated by an accountant at least for all supplier event.
For customer recurrence like subscription, I think this should not be managed at the accounting level but with a business object like the sale.
There is also a blueprint on http://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/CustomerContracts
So maybe it can be extended to support creating moves, and creating any type of
invoices (customer and supplier).
For me it seems the right way to do it, so your comments on the blueprint will
be very welcomed.
A module related to this feature request (seems compatible with Tryton 2.8):
http://git.subdir.eu/paul/trytond_contract/ "With this module you can quickly
generate recurrent invoices based on contracts."
A lot of my expenses are (almost) the same each month/quarter and it would be
nice if Tryton could help me to manage those more efficiently than requiring me
to find the old invoice or old move, to click on duplicate and then to edit the
required data.
We should be able to pick an existing invoice or account move and then activate
a menu entry "Manage recurrence..." or something like that. This would record
this invoice or move as a template to create further copies. We should be able
to define the recurrence (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) and then
pick the day of the period to use for each new occurrence.
There should be a new action to create new invoices/moves based on those
templates. By default it should offer to create all invoices/moves with dates in
the past, however we could also select some of the other templates in order to
pre-create the invoices/moves.
For reference, I attach screenshots of the corresponding feature in SQL-Ledger.
For recurring invoices, it should be possible to include the payment information
in the template as well (typically when the amount is always paid by credit card
or by automatic bank withdrawal).

Rebecca "`Becka" Bouchard Paulson was the wife of Joe Paulson, the mother of Byron Paulson, and a resident of Haven, Maine.
In the story
After accidentally shooting herself in the head, Paulson survived with a bullet lodged in her brain. Soon after, she became convinced that a picture of Jesus was talking to her, revealing her husband's infidelities, and explaining how to rig her television set in order to electrocute him. She did so, and tricked her husband into touching the power knob on the television, but as he was electrocuted, she realized what she had done.
Trying to save her husband, Becka was killed as well.
In the novel
Outside of the original short story, Rebecca Paulson's first appearence was in It where she is mentioned as finding some of the money that had been scattered throughout Derry and Haven after the destruction of a bank in Derry during the chaos that coincided with It's destruction.
In the miniseries
Paulson was portrayed by Allyce Beasley.
Rather than attempting to rescue her husband from electrocution, Becka mourned her actions, and was eventually incarcerated in a mental hospital.
In the episode
Paulson was portrayed by Catherine O'Hara.
Rather than being addressed by a picture of Jesus, Becka became convinced that a man on her television set was talking to her.

"I suppressed an urge to rush at one of England's greatest playwrights and shake his hand before peppering him with questions."
I absolutely loved the first novel in this series and was decidedly eager to revisit the realm of the All Souls Trilogy. Shadow of Night transports supernatural couple Diana and Matthew back in time to Elizabethan London.
Diana is about to come face to face with vampire Matthew's shady past - enter royalty, pirates, playwrights and dragons. If winning over Matthew's mother was foremost in the first novel, here we meet his even scarier father, amongst other hungry vampires.
Will Diana master her witch powers? Will the loved up couple make their way back to the present? Will the mysterious text, Ashmole 782 make an appearance? Will time-walking alter the events of the present? Will Diana perfect the local elizabethan accent?
One thing is for certain. The third instalment of this trilogy can not come soon enough for me! The historical context in which the reader finds these intriguing protagonists is palpable, thanks, in no small way, to the historical expertise of its author.
I can only hope that Ms Harkness is glued to her desk unravelling the threads of the finale at an accelerated pace, as I long to see what transpires between its pages. 5 out of 5 magical moments.

Collector's Corner: Interview with Joe Allard
Dec 03, 2018
PREVIEWSworld ToyChest proudly introduces Collector's Corner! Here, we'll highlight anyone and everyone with a love of toys and collectibles. Whether it's a hardcore collector with no room on their display case or a veteran sculptor who makes a living in the industry, we'll talk to anyone who lives and breathes toys!
This week, we talk to Joe Allard, a designer for Diamond Select Toys.
Allard talks about working on the Legends in 3D bust line and how he got into the industry.
What's the design process for a ½ scale bust? Where do you start?
Research. Most jobs start with research. Like Indy says: "Seventy percent of all archaeology is done in the library". Except now we have the internet. I like to immerse myself if the subject matter for a while before I start to design. If it's based on a movie, I'll try to watch it, or read the comic. Google is always your friend as well. All the Wiki's out there provide a lot of good inspirational material. I find that even though I have a slew of good art books, I still jump to the internet first. It's just more efficient when you have deadlines. It's also always a good idea when doing your research to take a look at what's been done before so you do something new and different and not repeat what's out there. There are a lot of superhero collectibles out there, so part of the challenge in designing these pieces is coming up with something different and refreshing.
You've designed action figures and statues as well. What's different about designing a bust?
It's half the job! Ha! Actually, I do like to imagine the bust as a full figure at first, just to get an idea of what the rest of him is doing, so I get the top part looking interesting, rather than just straight front and center. Also the face and expression are super important in a bust because it's where your focus is and it's much larger than a statue or figure. You want to capture some sort of expression or emotion, but not so much that it takes away from the character likeness. It has to be subtle but noticeable. Even though Captain America may yell or grimace a lot in the films or comics, you don't necessarily want a bust of him mouth wide open ready for a dental exam. Something more stoic and iconic usually works best with this type of collectible. You're trying to capture the essence of these characters with one image. For Cap since I brought him up, I wanted to express his optimistic and honorable personality. So, he's glancing up, maybe at the flag, feeling all warm and fuzzy for his country, confident he's there to meet any challenge.
How did you get into the business of designing toys?
I started out coloring comic books for Malibu and Marvel Comics in the mid 90's. My original goal was to become a comic book penciller, The Next Todd McFarlane, and sit at home in my underwear drawing comics all day. Eventually the industry took a dive and Marvel closed the West Coast coloring office so I found myself looking for a new job. I took a product designer position at company called Applause where I was designing gifts and collectibles for everything from Marvel and Star Wars to Disney and Muppets. Right away I fell in love with the process of creating toys and collectibles. The joy of seeing something I designed produced in 3D form that someone could hold and play with or collect was such a thrill and still never gets old to me. I love collaborating with the sculptors and other artists to bring these things to life. I love that I get to play in this sandbox of characters that I grew up loving and still do to this day. So, I continued to work at various toy companies over the next decade learning as much as I could and making connections. Then, about 16 years ago, I made the leap to freelance designer and eventually started up Design Devil, my independent design and development company. Now I've come full circle, and basically get to sit at home in my underwear and draw comic book characters all day! Over the years I've worked for all the major toy and collectibles companies and have had the pleasure of working with Chuck and Robert at Diamond on many fun projects for over 12 years
How does experience as a comic book colorist help you in designing collectibles?
For one, definitely the subject matter. Most of my design work revolves around comic book characters, many of which I've colored books for, and am a fan of myself. Also, I think years of coloring and studying many different amazing artists work has helped me improve my own skills for sure. I learned about anatomy, dynamic poses, composition, mood, drama, etc. Not to mention story. With each statue we try to tell some sort of mini-story, so I think being immersed in that world for so long definitely lends a hand there as well. I really consider it the same sandbox or playground as comic books, I've just moved from the swings to the monkey bars so to speak.
How did you create the design for the Gwen Stacy bust?
I'll be honest here, Spider-Gwen wasn't a character I was super familiar with. I know Gwen Stacy of course, Spidey is a favorite of mine and I use to read the title for years. But I'm a bit out of the loop on some of the newer storylines. So much good stuff out there it's hard to keep up with all of it! So Google was my friend. I did research. I got a few issues of the Spider-Gwen comics to catch up on the character before starting the design. Maybe a bit overkill for just a bust, but it's how I like to work. Then since I was also designing the Spidey, and Venom busts, I wanted all three to kind of work together, and all be looking different directions. That's one of the benefits of working on an entire line like I was fortunate to do here, you can make sure they are all cohesive and work together as a set.
With the Muppets' Animal bust, you designed a non-human statue… Was that a challenge?
Actually, Animal was one of the easier ones. Humans are the toughest in my opinion. The cartoon or in this case Muppet characters are simpler and easier to capture. I knew right away I wanted the wild open mouth expression and he had to be on his drum for the base. Some of them just come together quickly. He was one of those. I grew up on the Muppets so I was super familiar with the character and that always makes the design process easier, and in my opinion results in a better final product. When you can put some real love and appreciate for the character into the piece I think it shows.
The bases on all your busts have a design that is unique to the character. How do you go about creating a design for a bust's base?
The base was something Chuck had some ideas on up front going into the Legends line in general. He wanted a base that was representative of the character itself, something iconic or recognizable. So that was the second challenge for each bust. First - what pose, expression and outfit, then - what's the base going to be. For some like Animal I mentioned, or Jack Sparrow, the idea came fairly easy. Though I was worried the compass might be too obvious for Jack, Chuck liked the ideas and I think it came out perfect. Some others, like say Rorschach, were more of a challenge. He had no real iconography or settings that really screamed Rorschach or told a good story you could identify with him, that I could think of anyway. So, since his gun was kind of his main and pretty much only accessory, I decided to riff off of that and give the base sort of a steampunk feel which I felt fit the character and piece fairly well. For Iron Man, I knew I wanted to do some lab tech from Stark Labs, and since we were doing a more classic version of him, I went with some very Ditko styled techno gizmos as the base.
Do you have a favorite character/franchise you've worked with so far?
That is TOUGH! I love them all! I'll say Jack Sparrow was fun, because it's always good to get another dread-head some collectibles love. Even though the dude totally stole my look.

As much as I don't get along with many face primers, not a day goes by without me using an eye primer. No-one likes a creased eye look, nor a liner wing that's halfway down the lashline.I have 4 in my collection, all of which I find work for different things.
My favourite of the bunch is the Avon Eye Shadow Primer in Light Beige which is slightly tinted so it colour corrects the eye and mattifies (without drying whatsoever) the entire lid and preps it for anything you are putting on top - shadow, cream products, or just liner. It's great.
The next offering is the MUA Pro Base Eye Primer, which was actually my very first post on this blog. I raved about it then, and although this is still great and extremely budget based, I feel like the Avon one just beats it for me. But, this one still does the job well and if I didn't have the Avon one in my life I would still be using this daily.
When I am doing a dramatic eye, or anything involving a touch of colour, I reach for the Dainty Doll Frankie Girl Eye Base as it is so pale that it totally blanks out the lid with a creamy coloured layer, which makes any colour stand out more and mattifies so there is no creasing.
Finally, the Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer (mini) has been in my collection for a short while now. I did rave about this originally, but the last time I used this I had a bit of creasing going on. I'm hoping it was a one off because I really liked this one beforehand.
What are your favourite eye primers?

Types of Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is marked by the formation of malignant (cancerous) cells in the tissues of the bladder. The bladder is an organ located in the lower abdomen that is used to store urine. Bladder cancer occurs when uncontrolled growth and malignancy develops from cells originating from the bladder lining or urothelium.
Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and the eighth most common cancer in women. According to the American Cancer Society's 2009 statistics, more than 70,000 new cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year, and the current annual death toll exceeds 14,000.
Transitional Cell Carcinoma
More than 90 percent of bladder cancers in the United States are classified as this form of bladder cancer. Transitional cell carcinoma arises from the bladder's inner lining or urothelium.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This type of bladder cancer involves the thin, flat cells of the bladder. Squamous cell carcinoma is usually associated with chronic inflammation and can be caused by a parasitic infection (Schistosoma haematobium that is not found in the United States ) and comprises about 8 percent of bladder cancer cases.
This form of bladder cancer begins in the cells that release mucus and other fluids and can arise from remnants of the umbilical cord.

Thank you Mayca for this great time with you and the other ladies. I loved it and Yes I learned a lot again ! I cannot attend this Saturday workshop with sincere regrets, I hope to join you next autumn, hopefully with some other great workshops.
I've read partially your ``recipe book`` and congratulations on your work. It's like being with you again ! Very detailed and with all the recommendations and instructions to follow, it's more complete than my notes. Well done and a very big thank you for sharing your passion with us, I'm deeply touched.
Have a nice week and enjoy next Saturday.
This was a fabulous class. I learned so much and had a really fun time doing it! Mayca is an excellent teacher. She has a wealth of knowledge that she shares so readily. The class was a great balance of information and hands on experience. I highly recommend it!

Dillweedz Cafe serves up 'somethin' special' on Main Street
By Courtney Llewellyn
Reminder Assistant Editor
SPRINGFIELD -- Dillweedz Cafe, located at 1244 Main St., may be the beacon of 21st century bistro breakfast and lunch dining in the city.
Healthy eaters can enjoy egg whites, turkey sausage and local, fair trade, organic Pierce Brothers Coffee.
The decor, while eclectic in theme, is almost entirely made up of reused materials, from the original lighting fixtures to the main counter, which used to be the decking around someone's pool.
Even the silverware and the serving containers are cutting edge -- the former made from potatoes, the latter from corn.
Oh, and the food is really good too. Even if you don't see something you'd like on the menu, Dillweedz Cafe gives you the option of creating your own salad or sandwich.
"We wanted something unique," co-owner Chris Marszalek said of his restaurant's name. "It's a good conversation point."
Co-owner Laurie Caserta joked that Marszalek is a dillweed.
Located in the former Frigo's location across from the MassMutual Center, the cafe started out serving "basic and simple" breakfasts and lunches about six months ago, according to Marszalek.
Breakfasts range from the usual fare of eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and steak to specials like Cheesecake Toast (cream cheese, homemade strawberry jam on two slices of toast) and Vanilla French Toast. Breakfast is served from opening to closing.
The lunch menu offers a wider variety, from soups and "weedz" (salads) to paninis and "somethin' special" sandwiches to the classics -- from turkey to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Marszalek said his regulars have created some of the greatest -- and some of the weirdest -- sandwiches on the menu. These specials are usually listed on the blackboards on the walls inside the cafe.
"The paninis are the most popular," Caserta said,"but we make what the customers want."
This reporter tried one of the restaurant's best-known panini sandwiches, the Chubba Hut, on a recent visit. This toasted dish features roast beef, cheddar cheese, bacon, leaf lettuce, tomato and spicy horseradish mayo. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, the bacon was crisp and the cheese was gooey. It was delicious.
The lunches feature side options of an apple, chips or a chocolate chip cookie. I asked for a cookie and it too was moist and scrumptious.
Fellow Reminder Publications assistant editor Katelyn Gendron also tried a panini: "The Chicken Brushetta sandwich is a delightful blend of fresh mozzarella, moist chicken and olive oil on a crispy panini. The combination is a tantalizing treat for the taste buds but did, however, lack that extra something to complete a palpable aftertaste. I suggest some balsamic vinaigrette, which will marinade easily into the chicken, cheese and panini to add an extra zip to the combination.
Caserta commented that many of the cafe's ingredients are made from scratch.
"We don't want to be an 'organic restaurant,' but we do aim to be organic," Marszalek said. "We're filling a healthy niche."
And the unique silverware and flatware? "We're trying to be environmentally friendly," Marszalek explained. "People are becoming more and more passionate about that."
Dillweedz Cafe hosted an official grand opening on Feb. 23, when City Councilor James Ferrera III presented the owners with a proclamation and City Councilor Bud Williams thanked them for joining the downtown area.
Marszalek, who said he's been in the restaurant business his whole life, has worked in 300 to 400 seat joints but likes the "cafe feel." He added that he likes the downtown feel as well.
Dillweedz Cafe is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information on the restaurant or to view a full menu, visit

Hello Woodscooter,
To comment on your points. I'm pleased you think I'm up the right tree but I'm not sure I haven't dug myself a hole.
Anyway I think:
"Self IS the result of past deeds" does invite some speculation on what this "self" might be composed of.
I think in this context I was referring to the personal experience of "self", as in the quality of the experience which has resulted from our previous actions. I might try to expand on the idea and post something in due course.
I think: Karmic deeds can be done in isolation, e.g. thoughts which will affect the mental continuum of the thinker, there is no need for them to directly involve others, as in positive meditational exercises or stewing up hateful thoughts.
I would understand that: Unintentional harm doesn't create negative karmic outcomes since they are said to require specific qualities as below:
(Sorry, again from my notes, paraphrased, without a source, but from a mahayana perspective)
"Karmic actions are willed and directed activities of body, speech and mind. Karmic outcomes are dependent on motivation or intention which can be defined as virtuous, non-virtuous and neutral. They have effects, the intensity of which is determined by the strength of the motivations behind them. There are three factors which result in a "completed" karmic action:
-First the preparation which defines the object of the action, the intention to carry out the action, and for a non-virtuous action, the presence of an affliction such as anger, attachment or confusion.
-Secondly there is the action itself, and
-Thirdly the completion of the action accompanied by pleasure or satisfaction that the deed was done."
I understand also that the final satisfaction or pleasure is a key component. If disgust or regret follows the action the karmic result would not be the same or as severe. This indicates a purely personal connection to the action, and therefore a person in isolation could still generate karmic results from their solitary actions." Karma is generated by intention etc, rather than outcome. Perhaps.
If anyone has other perspectives or definitions please post them.

Magnet from Mina Lee, found via Lelah Baker-Rabe
Lost or misplaced items are an ongoing problem for many people. How to deal with this problem is a big topic, so I'm beginning a series here today:
- Strategies to avoid losing your keys, phone, etc.
- Strategies to find things if they're lost.
- Gadgets to help you find things.
- Specialty tools to help with specific items people often lose.
- Strategies for getting lost items returned.
So, how do you keep from losing things? Here are three of the most common strategies.
1. Assign a home to everything and send things home to live. — Julie Bestry
Woman's Day quotes organizer Stacey Platt:
Most of the time we lose things because we don't put them back where we found them. ... Everything needs a home. You can always find a fork because you always put them back in the same spot.Stever Robbins (who I found via Linda English) explains it this way:
Create a place for your most important things, like your wallet and keys. Use a test run. Walk into your house carrying your things, and look for a place you'll be able to put them every single time you get home. Your keys, for instance, could always go just inside the door in that priceless Four Dynasty Chinese Urn you found on eBay.On Ask Metafilter, Daniel Beck explains his strategy:
Phone in right front pocket or in the charger by the bed, always. Keys in left front pocket or on the hook by the door, always. Wallet in back pocket or on the bedside table, always. No exceptions ever.And Ceiba says:
Adjust per your sartorial needs, of course; the important part is to stop putting the things down in random places.
Establish a place for everything at all major stopping places. For example, when I had a car, there was only one place in the car that I was allowed to place my iPhone. In the office, the distance-vision glasses go on top of the computer and nowhere else.And here's a very different example, from Dustin Godsey:
A sign that I'm either getting old or lazy: I always park on the top level of parking ramps now so that I don't have to remember a floor #.
2. When you leave a space, check to make sure you have everything.
Many people recommend pocket checks or pocket pats. Over on Ask Metafilter, Laen says:
When I leave the house, count the number of items I'm putting into my pocket. Usually that number is 3 (cellphone, wallet, phone). Whenever I stand up, I do a quick pocket count to make sure I didn't leave anything behind.Two lights above the sea says:
I'm a fan of the "pat-down", as well. Keys-phone-wallet. Keys-phone-wallet. It has a nice ring to it. Do it where every you go. About to leave the house. About to leave the car. About to leave the store/restaurant, etc.I do something similar whenever I leave a client appointment. I make sure I have my wallet and cell phone in my purse, and that I have my water bottle and my jacket. I know to always check for these four things. (My keys rarely leave my purse, so I don't need to check for them.)
3. Make things harder to lose, or leave behind.
Theora55 says:
Some things, like coffee mug or keys, can be a bright distinctive color. Teevee clickers should be blaze orange, for example. I put blaze orange marking tape on some things, and am more easily able to find them.Gillian Kirby uses a similar strategy:
Phone - encased in bright green rubber case. ... Keys/travelcard - again, both are in bright colours so I'm less likely to put down and forget. ... Wallet - bright colours apply again.And David Lebovitz provides a very different example. He tweeted about his fear of leaving things behind:
Is there a word for "the fear of using a hotel safe, because you might leave, forgetting you put things in there"?And Liz replied:
If you put a shoe in as well you won't forget passport etc. because you'd never leave with just one shoe.

McAdams spent much of the summer preparing for a September hearing of a faculty committee that will recommend whether he be stripped of tenure. "I'd much rather be there," he says. "I'd much rather be teaching."The imbroglio has already gone on longer than the Siege of Petersburg, and yet Professor McAdams will continue to fight it out on this line.
At 69, McAdams could simply have gone quietly, as perhaps Marquette thought he would. But that's not his nature. "First of all, I enjoy a good fight," he says. "It is also a matter of principle. That is, some people need to be taught a lesson — people who think they can run roughshod over people's academic freedom."
How far will he take his fight to get his job back? "As far as necessary," he says, "including a lawsuit."
So McAdams finds himself at the center of what is shaping up to be one of the most unusual academic freedom cases in the country. Even in an era of rising political correctness — trigger warnings, speech codes and the battle against "micro-aggressions" — the decision to fire McAdams nearly stands alone.
As far as anyone knows, no other major university has tried to fire a tenured professor for something that he wrote on a blog.
Knowing the hostile environment he would face, would he want to return to Marquette if he wins his fight? "I would," McAdams says without hesitation. "And continue to make trouble. Just to spite the authoritarians."There's a longer version of the story here.

A new breed of ITU coaches come together in Europe
By Merryn Sherwood on 11/05/11 at 4:08 am
A new generation of ITU coaches came together in Slovenia last weekend to take part in an ITU Level 1 Community Coaching course.
A total of 13 coaches from three different European nations, Norway, Slovenia and Croatia, came to Terme Snovik to take part. The majority were young, ambitious coaches, many who are still active triathletes, who all share the goal of helping triathlon get to the next level in their countries.
This was particularly evident with the two Norwegian representatives, Espen Laaveg and Kalle Jensen. The pair are planning to travel to ITU sanctioned events and courses this year and look at them from a technical and coaching level to build their knowledge before organising the first ITU-style triathlon event in Norway. According to Laaveg and Jensen, there is plenty of lifestyle triathletes in Norway, but they are keen to bring the next generation through to the ITU racing.
The course was organised by Zelko Bijuk (CRO), ITU Continental Coordinator for Europe, and Grega Zore (SLO), the Secretary General of the Slovenian Triathlon Federation. Bijuk, Zore and coach Milos Petelin (SLO), who coaches young up and coming Slovenian teenager Monika Orazem, facilitated the course.
The course included theoretical and practical sessions about triathlon, based on the ITU's Level 1 community coaching manual, including information on everything from the swim, run, bike and transitions to basic nutrition and coach responsibility. The course was held in the thermal bath complex in Snovik.
The participants were Laaveg and Jensen from Norway, Tone Vrhovnik Straka, Karla Oblak, Sebastjan Omerzo, Rok Vrhovnik, Uros Seme, Miha Rojc and Ales Susnik from Slovenia, with Kresimir Tijardovic, Martin Papista, Marcel Zelenika and Bojan Dujkovic from Croatia.

The way you speak may become a way to show if you're on the road to mental decline.
FOX's Jill Nado reports:
Everybody stammers once in a while, but people with early stage mild cognitive impairment seem to have verbal skills that get much worse faster than those who don't have thinking problems.
Researchers like Kimberly Mueller at the University of Madison-Wisconsin are hoping analyzing speech may become a simple way to screen people for mental decline:
(Mueller) "We all use different techniques to speak like fillers, we all use that occasionally, but in this case what we're seeing is something more severe than what is typical."
Doctors think treatment might need to start early in a potential patient to do any good, so there's a push to find early signs.

For happy couples, becoming engaged can be the most romantic highlight of the relationship. But, the actual planning of that wedding can be a far cry from that romantic memory, and can instead be very stressful. If a couple uses the following tips, however, they can maintain the romance of their relationship even while planning the wedding.
Practice walking down the aisle as much as you can right before the wedding. Try to do this on location to ensure accuracy. This can help you feel more confident during your special day.
You want to think about and practice your aisle walk prior to your wedding day. Also, practice it at the wedding venue in the shoes you plan on wearing. This will ensure you're graceful and confident when the time comes.
Purchasing a wedding dress can be expensive. To help defray the cost of a wedding gown, you may wish to shop for dresses that may not be considered a wedding dress. You could get a bridesmaid's dress, and it would be just a fraction of the cost. You can choose to alter the dress and add your own flair, while still saving plenty of money.
Once you know who all is going to give a speech at your wedding, hold a rehearsal for everyone so you can censor out inappropriate material. For example, you would want to eliminate any jokes that apply to a very specific group within your guests in order to avoid anyone feeling excluded and to make sure the speech is well-received by all who attend your wedding.
While you are taking your wedding photos, do not let your guests wait. The bride, groom and wedding party should take the photos in advance. You can also take pictures with both newlyweds' families at this time.
Personalize the wedding so that it reflects your personalities, and that of your relationship. Choose a theme that matches your time together!
If the groom and bride love to travel, try to look for decorations that incorporate that particular theme. Your invitations, notices, and R.S.V.P. cards can be designed to match the theme or your wedding. You can use old luggage to display things like photos, wedding favors, or wedding programs.
The pictures you will have taken on your wedding day are meant to be a memento of your happy day for a lifetime. It would be wise to spend a few more dollars and employ a professional photographer to perfectly capture these once-in-a-lifetime images.
If the couple's families are from different cultural backgrounds, both sides can be honored by incorporating traditions, foods, decors, or rituals from both sides. This will create a beautiful blend of traditions for the couple and their families.
One way to add glamour to your look on wedding day is to research the possibility of renting diamonds to add to your ensemble. By renting jewelry instead of buying, you can get the look that you dreamed of for your wedding day without having to spend thousands of dollars.
Plan everything for the wedding, from reception activities to the food. By ensuring that your guests are comfortable and enjoying themselves, you are expressing your gratitude for their presence.
If you cannot justify the cost of a thousand-dollar wedding cake, consider contacting a local bakery and inquiring about single-serving portions, like cupcakes or cake pops. Alternatively, consider something like low-fat cupcakes, gluten-free cake, fruit-filled low calorie cakes, or other such healthy alternatives.
Flowers that are abundant in your state during specific seasons will not be easily available in climates that are tropical and humid or cooler and dry like the Mediterraneans. Consult with a florist to see which flowers are in season or most readily available at the time of your wedding.
Flowers are great, but don't place too many of them on your tables or they can become tacky. The flowers will often just get in the way when your guests are trying to eat. Plus, a few of your guests could have flower allergies that you were not aware of. In order to provide a romantic look, you can place unscented candles centered on the table.
Alert your caterer to the fact that you would like your reception to be held outdoors. The foods you have may be too light or may not last long enough for outdoor usage. You might be able to use fancy or insulated covers for dishes. If you need to, have a small refrigerator handy to cool down drinks.
You can embellish your bouquet with tiny crystals, rhinestones or perhaps diamonds if you can afford to. You can do this by applying some crystals, costume jewelry, or maybe even an heirloom piece. To make sure it coordinates with everything else you are wearing, be consistent with the colors, size and cut of the stones.
If you don't want to spend a small fortune on flower arrangements on the reception tables, have you considered a display of potted plants instead? You also have several choices for pot decorations. For example, two common pot options are ceramic pots and terracotta stoneware. You can also decorate the pots yourself by painting them, or dressing them up with ribbons. The guest's wedding favor can be the plants in the pots, or you can put them in your garden.
Your guests shouldn't have to hang around while your pictures are taken. The photos concerning the rest of the wedding party should be done in advance. Make a list of all the shots that you want and arrange for many of them to be taken before the wedding begins.
A gift registry is often common with weddings. It is also harder for the bride and groom to have to bring all of the gifts home from the reception. Allow them to choose from numerous items and be sure they range in price. Your guest should be comfortable about affording a gift that will please you.
You should probably keep your wedding dress at the store until the last minute. Putting it away in a closet could cause it to become wrinkled or even stained. This will keep your dress as fresh as possible.
In order to keep the bride happy and stress free on her wedding day, you should make certain that the quality of the wedding meets her standards. If she feels it's her responsibility to undertake the planning and worry about a below par celebration, it will ruin her entire day. A Bridezilla will be on your hands if you do not let her make decisions.
If the couple getting married has a strong love for travel, try to incorporate design elements that reflect this in the planning and decoration process. Their are artistic ways to make wedding invitations distinct, so that they reflect the couple's personalities and interests. Prop open a vintage suitcase and display photos, programs, or favors in it.
Make sure your bridesmaids know what they are wearing. A lot of friendships can be damaged when people don't agree on the gown for a bridesmaid. By choosing an affordable, cute dress that matches your wedding theme, you can rest assured your choice will be a hit. This ensures that you have a great wedding without any hurt feelings or misunderstandings.
Flowers seasonal to your region might not be readily available if your wedding environment is in a different climate with temperatures, humidity and distinct from what you are used to at home. Call ahead or look online to determine which flowers are available in your destination country during the time your wedding will occur.
When you choose a videographer for the wedding, try interviewing as many as you can to see their work examples. Sound quality and video editing are just as important as capturing the shot. Make certain your videographer uses the latest technology for the highest quality and longest lasting memories. Use these things, along with your gut, to make the final decision of whom to hire.
If you are planning an outdoor reception, make sure that your caterer is aware of this. Some food are unsuitable for outdoor receptions, as they will spoil in 90 degree heat or blow around in the wind. Perhaps you can use fancy covers on your dishes. Another consideration is to have a refrigerator available to keep beverages at their desired temperature.
It is definitely possible to plan a wedding within a tight budget. Nobody should borrow money to put on a wedding. There are many things like invitations, favors or floral arrangements that can be made as opposed to bought. You can look to family and friends to assist you and you can look for a venue that will allow for both a ceremony and reception in one place.
If you plan on having a destination wedding, do not forget about your guests. You might have guests who need to make plans to take vacation time on the day, and they will need time to make plans. Send your invitations or the cards with save the date on them at least eight months in advance if you can. This can help guests plan as they need.
You want to begin all wedding preparations very early on. The sooner you start, the more choices you will have in every aspect of your special day. You will have your pick of vendors and venues and a much better chance of staying within your budget.
Don't plan destination weddings without considering the destination's legal requirements. Before you start booking services and hotels, make sure everything is taken care of, from fees to residency requirements.
Be aware of the weather. Guests will not appreciate a hot and sticky outdoor wedding and most likely won't want to stick around to socialize and celebrate with you. On the same note, winter weddings might chill your guests to the point of leaving early too. Always remember to accommodate your guests, and provide fans for a summer wedding or portable heaters for a wedding in the cold winter months.
Before you start planning your wedding, sit with your fiance and make a list of the things that are most important to you. For some people, the flowers top the list while others consider the venue or the cake more important than a guest list. Use your priority list to determine which aspects of your wedding to pay for first. This helps you stay within your budget and purchase goods and services that make your wedding into everything you want it to be.
Look out for rain. Always have backup plans in place if this happened. It is best to have a back-up plan so that your big day is not ruined by Mother Nature.
When choosing a videographer for your wedding, make sure you interview many candidates and ask to see examples of his or her work. It is important to verify the editing and sound quality that you can expect from your videographer. It used to be popular to get videos of your wedding on VHS, but ensure that you are receiving a DVD or a digital video that you can play for years to come. Look for a videographer who meets all technical requirements. Beyond that, listen to your heart.
For those that will be helping you get ready for your wedding, such as the bride's mother or bridesmaids, should be dressed and ready to go long before it's time to help you with your gown and anything else. The focus should be on you in the moments before your wedding ceremony. Keep in mind that if there are other distractions then the attention isn't going to be on you.
A couple that keeps these tips in mind will probably find that planning their wedding brings them closer together. A couple that can make a wedding happen without arguing are probably on the road to a happy marriage. The ideas in this article can assist any couple in investing in a great wedding that opens the door to a great lifelong partnership.
Create a special bond with your wedding party by getting customized jewelry. It is something they can keep for a long time, and it will remind them of you.

|On this date in 2010, beachside bird baths froze over
|29F in Cape Canaveral and colder elsewhere 12/14/2010
THIS WEEKEND: Warm with periods of clouds. The extent of how warm it will be as winds become more southerly to southwest will be contingent upon cloud cover. Currently it is a bit cloudy in this location but suspect with some heating the morning inversion will break and make way for partly cloudy skies which then might cloud right back up again with more heating. High clouds are not far away either, so either way suspect the north half of the state will see more clouds than not at some level whereas South Florida appears will be partly cloudy all day while North Florida will be cloudy to mostly cloudy and a bit cooler as a result.
Sunday will again be warm mainly South 1/2 of state as a frontal boundary will be gliding southward during the day, to be located close to a Palm Bay/Sarasota line by 1pm. Cloud cover to accompany the front and maybe some sprinkles with better chances of rain north of I-4 and again in the afternoon south of Palm Bay toward the east side of the state toward West Palm Beach area or further south yet still. Winds becoming west to NW behind the front. According to the latest guidance the drier air doesn't really start to move in until near sunset and then phases in gradually under NW-NNW winds, but mostly so after 1AM Monday morning though we will definitely feel it within an hour or so after dark.
It is at that time (1AM to sunrise) temperatures will be most notably very cool to almost cold as far south as Punta Gorda and through Central Florida except east of US1 and more so along the A1A strip from Cape Canaveral and south. Regardless, it will be a very cool to an early day cold one relatively speaking for a start, but remain cool all day with highs remaining in the mid-upper 60Fs (colder north) and lower 70Fs South.
Quick swing around to easterly winds overnight into Tuesday will make for a warmer day but another impulse in the mid levels will give cause to swing the winds back to NNW-N and make for some more cool to coolish mornings through Friday with afternoon highs in the upper 60Fs but gradually warming with time by the weekend and into early next week as winds become more southerly with time (Christmas is coming).
The bigger question next is what will occur Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day. The model guidance is varied vastly in this regard from very cold (the coldest of the year so far) to 'not so fast buddy'...latest run shows 'nothing unusual' but a bit of a cool down. Point being, too soon to say for certain but timing would be about right for a frontal passage based on the latest rhythm of the atmospheric wave frequency that has been in place for about 2 weeks now.
Things change, and The Conductor seems to still be deciding which Opus Movement to select for a Welcoming Song to Christmas Day.
Yesterday morning around the same time as 3 years ago.

Rich, creamy, delicious meat and cheese sauce nestled between delicate sheets of homemade spinach pasta, the lasagne recipe that started my fresh pasta making craze. This is definitely a Sunday dinner meal, best served with a bottle of good red wine, and good company. The best way to relax is to work hard, and enjoy the fruits of your hard work with your loved ones.
The lasagne is composed of a meat based Bolognese ragu, a beciamella sauce, and fresh spinach pasta sheets. I outlined in the previous post the steps I took to make the pasta sheets, and here I will post the steps I took to complete the Lasagne Bolognese.
The ragu will take some time to cook, so I started on this first. Bolognese sauce usually is composed of ground veal and pork slow cooked with pancetta and finely chopped vegetables, usually composed of carrots, onion, and celery. The finely chopped vegetables are first sautéed with chopped garlic in a large pan with melted butter over moderate heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Don't hurry this step because the vegetables will take time to cook to develop flavor.
Meanwhile, process the pancetta, or just finely chop it, which is what I did.
Once the vegetables have started to brown, turn the heat up from moderate to high, and add the chopped pancetta, veal, and pork to the pan.
Stir and cook until the meat starts to brown, breaking up the larger pieces.
Add the milk, tomato paste, and white wine, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 1 and half hour, or until the liquid has mostly dissipated from the pan, but the sauce is still moist. Set the pan aside until you are ready to assemble the lasagne.
To prepare the beciamella sauce, melt butter in a large pan over moderate heat and add the flour, whisking to cook the entire time.
Cooking flour in butter or oil is the basis for making a roux, a thickener for sauces that is used in many European influenced cuisines. The flour needs to cook slowly until it starts to turn a pale golden brown.
While the roux is cooking, heat up the milk in a pot until barely boiling, add the milk by the cupful to the pan, whisking to combine the milk and roux until very smooth.
Bring the roux mixture to a boil, and whisk to cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the beciamella from heat and stir in the salt and nutmeg.
Place a butter piece of parchment paper, buttered side down, onto the surface of the beciamella, and cool to room temperature. The parchment paper will help the surface of the beciamella from congealing while it cools.
Once the ragu, beciamella, and the pasta sheets are cooked, the lasagne is ready for assembly. Spread a layer of ragu on the bottom of a baking dish with 2 inch high sides. Top with some grated Parmesan cheese, and top with sheets of cooked pasta.
Spread a layer of beciamella onto the pasta sheets.
Repeat with another layer of ragu, cheese, and pasta sheets.
The lasagne is supposed to be 6 layers, but I stopped at three layers since I was only cooking for 2 people. The final layer of lasagne sheets is topped with parmesan cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes until the top of the lasagne is browned in spots, and the sauce is bubbling.
Let the lasagne stand for 10 or 15 minutes before cutting. This was the best lasagne I've ever made, and unlike restaurant style lasagna, this one is incredibly hearty and light at the same time.

(This guest post comes courtesy of The Mad Hedge Fund Trader)
If you missed the great run up in silver last year that saw prices run up 95%, you are being offered a second bite at the apple. The latest round of risk reduction by global hedge fund has bashed the white metal, knocking $5 off of the $19.50 high seen in the heady days of November.
Geologically, silver is 17 times more common than the yellow metal. All of the gold ever mined is still around, from King Solomon's mine, to Nazi gold bars in Swiss bank vaults, and would fill two Olympic sized swimming pools. But most of the silver mined has been consumed in various industrial processes, and is sitting at the bottom of toxic waste dumps. Silver did take a multiyear hit when the world shifted from silver based films to digital photography during the nineties.
Now rising standards of living in emerging countries are increasing the demand for silver, especially in areas where there is a strong cultural preference for the jewelry, as in Latin America. That means we are setting up for a classic supply demand squeeze. I think we could run to the old high of $50/ounce in the next economic cycle, if another monetary crisis doesn't get us there first. Since silver can trade with double the volatility of gold, this forecast could prove conservative. You can buy the futures, where a 5,000 ounce contract worth $80,700 on the COMEX carries a margin requirement of only $6,750. You can also buy one ounce American silver eagle .9993% pure coins, but make sure you have a big safe to accumulate a serious position.

Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that The Darkness: Shadows & Flames one-shot comic book will hit comic book store shelves late January 2010.
Written by up-and-coming scribe Rob Levin (The Darkness: Butcher) and featuring art and cover from Jorge Lucas (The Darkness, Sunset), the 32-page The Darkness: Shadows & Flames standalone takes readers back to the turn of the 20th Century to follow a horrifying tale of lost love and the depravity of man and powers beyond our understanding in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft. Salvador Gomes is a broken man. He has lost his beautiful wife and young daughter in a fire and now spends restless days and sleepless nights looking for solace. In desperation, he makes a bargain with "The Shadow God," but every bargain has its price.
"I've always been fascinated with the types of different stories you can tell within the greater mythos of The Darkness," said Levin. "Readers are familiar with Jackie starring in horror-centric stories, but 'Shadows and Flame' gave Jorge and I a chance to tell another kind of horrific yawn, drawing on the great H.P. Lovecraft and examining man's own ineptitude in a world in which greater, more powerful creatures exist."
The Darkness: Shadows & Flames one-shot will retail at $2.99.

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." N. TESLA
The same holds true for the world in which we live, our interactions with each other, and indeed our interactions within.
Natural sources of electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment but are invisible to the human eye. Electric fields are produced by the local build-up of electric charges in the atmosphere associated with thunderstorms. The earth's magnetic field causes a compass needle to orient in a North-South direction and is used by birds and fish for navigation.
The human mind and body are not separate from their environment but a packet of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea, and that consciousness may be central in shaping our world.
In 1927, at the fifth annual physics conference, many of the world's greatest scientists recognized that consciousness and the atomic world were interactive. It was there that a realization took place;
Active consciousness has a direct effect on matter...a correlative relationship.
The scientists observed that the test results were being affected by the scientists' minds/thoughts/presence.
It is this energy interaction that allows meditative effectiveness (Lightgrid transmissions/connections/communication). At the atomic and subatomic levels, there is an interactive relationship between consciousness and all matter (material form).
When we look at frequency and vibration from the perspective of the external Creation, frequency and vibration have their Partiki units are the smallest building blocks of matter, even smaller than the smallest particles known to the human race. For this reason, modern scientists are not yet aware of partiki. Partiki is made of units of conscious energy that act like the template upon which consciousness enters manifestation.
The process when energy contracts toward the neutral point is known as vibration. The process when energy expands away from the neutral point is known as oscillation. The combination of vibration and oscillation is what determines the frequency rate (cyclic pattern of scalar waves) of all things. Scalar waves are standing waves that flash on and off. This process creates energy patterns that are processed by our consciousness and DNA to create our external reality. The on and off energy pattern is very simple but yet it has infinite potential. This is the mysterious and amazing power of the intelligence of Creation.
Pure energy vibrates a field around it. A vibrating field of energy, which attracts — like a magnet — and attaches to energy of the same vibrating frequency. The more vibrating energy that is compressed into this field of energy, the more intense the vibration gets within that field. Eventually the energy field manifests into matter: particle-by-particle. As the father of Quantum Physics, Max Planck, once said, "All the physical matters are composed of vibration."
A table may look solid and still, but within the table are billions and billions of subatomic particles "running around" and "popping" with energy. The table is pure energy and movement. Everything in this universe has its own vibrational frequency. It is the law of vibration in action.
Unified Field
Every object in the Universe moves and vibrates — everything is vibrating at one speed or another. Nothing rests. Everything we see around ourselves is vibrating at one frequency or another and so are we. However, our frequency is different from other entities in the universe, hence it seems like we are separated from what we see around ourselves — people, animals, plants, trees and so on. But we are not separated — we are in fact all living in a continuous ocean of energy. We are all connected at the highest level: the unified field.
Vibration as Sound and Light
What's most interesting is that, if a frequency is vibrating fast enough, it's emitted as a Sound and if it is vibrating much faster, it is emitted as a colour of Light. If we wanted to convert Sound to Light, we would simply raise its frequency by forty octaves. This results in a vibration in the trillions of cycles per second. So, if a pianist could press a key way above the eighty-eight keys that exist on a piano, that key would produce Light. This could create a chord of Light in the same way they can create a chord of sound. And it would be seen as colours of Light because it would be moving at the speed of Light.
Consciousness and Awareness
Everything has a vibrating energy field and behind the field is pure energy. This pure energy has a source that is found within everything throughout the universe. What is this source? Consciousness. Yet, the source of consciousness behind everything can be measured by the amount of awareness it has within any given energy field. In other words, there are different levels of awareness to every state of consciousness.
Vibration Frequency
The lower the vibration frequency, the slower the vibration; the higher the vibration frequency the faster the vibration. The difference between the manifestations of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of connectivity result simply from different levels of vibrating energy or frequencies. So, while the feelings of fear, grief and despair vibrate at a very low frequency, the feelings of love, joy and gratitude may vibrate much quicker at a higher frequency, and meditation states higher still, as demonstrated by the frequency of the electro-magnetic waves generated by the human brain in a number of scientific experiments around the world.
When we are in a group setting (trapped in a traffic jam, for example), we feel much like part of a herd. We are feeling the layer of Stimulus Response. Yet when we are feeling like we are an individual, there is an extreme difference in our awareness.
This understanding of higher levels of consciousness is very important. Consciousness is the Source of Everything and we have the awareness of every layer of consciousness in existence. This is significant because it allows us the privilege to attract and to attach to any energy field. We have the ability to vibrate at different frequencies and manifest different energy fields into matter depending on our level of consciousness. Modern science demonstrates that when pure energy slows down, lower dimensional matter is created; conversely when the vibration field speeds up, the higher dimensions of consciousness can be accessed. And the higher our consciousness is raised, the closer to the Source we become.
