This is a time in history when we must become fearless: like spiritual warriors on the path. The media has become a haven for manufacturing fear, and those of us who are sensitive to energies and vibrations from other realms than the merely physical realm which can be seen, this is a time to practice caution when watching the news. The news is daily spewing out negative and fearful energies. It is also not good for us to stick our heads in the sands of denial and stop reading or watching the news. It IS a time to choose news programs wisely and take what is said with a grain (or perhaps a tablespoon full) of salt!
This is both a difficult and extremely exciting time in history. If you are interested in helping to solve the problems of the world, this is YOUR time to swing into action. The me-me-me vibes of past times are dissolved, and it is now time for us to understand WE ARE ALL ONE.
Get involved in community action and even if you do not have enough money, share as much as you can with charities who feed and house those who have nothing. Do not hoard what you have out of fear of the future.
If you feel fearful, focus on the Light of the Divine, and you will experience the transformation of your fear into powerful energies that can be helpful to our world.

Superficial Happiness or Lasting? June 9, 2009Posted by Carole Lynne in All About Spirit, Spiritual Priority, Uncategorized.

In today's world where we are so aware of what is happening with people all over the planet, it is hard to be blissfully happy in our own little world, unless we want to shut out all news from those around the globe. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to travel around the world, or even to less fortunate neighborhoods in our own country, know that serious poverty exists. When we see pictures of starving children on television, we know that those children are real and that the flies that buzz around them are real.
How happy can one be sitting on the beach drinking an iced cafe latte, knowing that others are starving? While facing this question does not bring immediate happiness, facing and dealing with the problems of the world will ultimately bring a real spiritual happiness, which is the core of bliss. The superficial happiness that comes when we can buy a bigger house or a diamond ring, is not a lasting happiness. As we evolve into higher states of consciousness and begin to give more of what we have to others, then we can find a lasting happiness.
Let us all pray that we can take an honest look at our world and find ways to help others through our prayers and through donations of money, goods and time. As we help others, we help ourselves. We evolve into a better world where everyone can benefit from the joys life offers. It is often the poor who give to the poor, as they know what it is like to be in need of food, housing and clothing. Those of us who are not in poverty need to imagine what it would be like to be living on the street, trying to get enough food for each day.
As we raise our spiritual consciousness, we come to understand that We Are All One. None of us are separate, and that child across the world who is staving, is part of us. When we go to sleep at night, in the background of our consciousness we see that truth and know that all of us are connected. Let us learn to see the truth about the world when we are in the waking state, so that we can reach out more to help those in need. Then we will find lasting happiness.

Where to Begin to Help the MOST Needy? June 4, 2009Posted by Carole Lynne in Feeling Better, Grief, Love, Spiritual Priority.

Although many people are involved in projects that help others, there are also many of us who are searching for ways to help those who are in dire poverty: those without safe places to live, food to eat and medical attention available.
As we begin our search for the best ways to help others, sometimes we confront feelings that are difficult to cope with. It is only in facing ourselves and our feelings that we can move ahead and give to the world.
The following are suggestions in overcoming the obstacles to providing help:
Coping With Extreme Sadness: Many people who have visited parts of their own country or parts of other countries where they have seen people dying on the street, are gripped with such intense sorrow that it can be almost impossible to cope with. For some of us this sadness is the first step in realizing that we must give up some of what we have to others. For some of us the pain is so overwhelming that we have to turn our backs and say "There are so many starving people, that there is nothing I can do."
Seeing others dying or in deep pain can also activate sadness about the difficulties we have had in our own lives. When this happens we can either evoke compassion for our own problems and the problems of others, or we can become again so overwhelmed with our own problems that all we can feel is anger and we are not able to help either ourselves or others.
One of the first steps in helping others is to find a way to cope with the sadness we experience. If we cannot cope with the emotional pain, we will most likely turn our backs on those who are desperate.
Making An Assessment of What One Can Do: Everyone can be helpful no matter what their life situation. Some have money to give, others do not. Some have time to give, others do not. There is no one way to help. There IS a way for each of us to help depending on our own life circumstances. If we have money, then it is time to identify where we want to donate: to charitable organizations, or perhaps to a friend we know who is desperate at the moment. If we are barely paying our own bills, then we do not have much money to donate at all, but we can research organizations that need money, and start a campaign to raise money by contacting all of our friends and acquaintances who DO have money to spend.
Years ago, I used to give pot luck parties to raise money for charitable organizations. Everyone brought a dish, the musicians in the group played some music, and everyone donated what they could to the organization featured that evening. When possible, a member of the charitable organization spoke to us about the needs of their group. A good time was had by all, and money was raised for the charity. We did not raise alot of money: a few hundred dollars, but every penny helps when the need is great.
Some have no money to donate, but alot of time on their hands. I know people and I am sure you also know those who are volunteering their time to groups such as Meals on Wheels or who volunteer in a hospice. My sister in law Julie is in China at the moment volunteering her skills as a physical therapist, teaching parents of disabled children how to help their kids. Another sister in law Sharon, creates paintings that she sells to raise money for Babies Need Food. I am sure you know people in your family who work for others, and perhaps you do yourself.
Coping with Complainers: On the other hand we also know people with alot of time on their hands who spend most of their time complaining and do not do anything to help themselves or others. Perhaps we can gentley suggest to our complaining friends that there are many community groups that could use their help. Or if we are one of the complainers then perhaps we need to give ourselves a swift "you know what" and get ourselves out of our own misery. If I am a complainer, I could better use my time reading to those who cannot see, or visiting the senior center and helping out.
Understanding That GIVING is NOT Always Easy: There has been a great deal written in the past few years about being kind to people as in "random acts of kindness." Being kind on a daily basis is VERY important and this comment in not meant to be critical of daily kindness. But let us now fool ourselves into thinking that smiling at someone in the supermarket is going to put food on the table of starving people. Of course it is important to be kind to people everywhere, all the time. But we need to do more than that, and not rationalize that we are doing our part for humanity by simply being kind in the supermarket or on the highway.
Giving is sometimes painful. Remember the moment in the movie "Ghost" when Whoopie hands over the million dollar check to the Salvation Army? She keeps trying to let go of the check, but it is obvious by her facial expressions that this is VERY hard to do!
Have you ever given something you really love to another family member, and struggled as you let go of your favorite piece of jewelry? Giving is a challenge. I personally find it impossible to give up things of mine that are sentimental. I can more easily give of my time or make a donation. Give up some silly thing of mine that I love? No, I cannot do it yet. I am working on it.
Helping is a Win Win Project: If we are able to cope with the extreme feelings of sadness that seeing the world problems brings, and if we can access our own lives to determine the ways that we can help and the ways we cannot, then we are on the road to becoming more helpful. We all know how incredible it feels to be of service to others. When we are helpful we get in touch with the aspects of our consciousness that are closer to the Divine. It is this connection to a power greater than ourselves, that brings inner peace and happiness. It does not matter what words we use: God, Higher Power, Divine, Beloved.
I have a long ways to go as I learn to be more giving. How about you?

How to Help the Helpless April 28, 2009Posted by Carole Lynne in Feeling Better, Grief, Spiritual Priority.

It is very important and yet difficult to help those who are not able to help themselves. First of all, we need to understand in the specific case of a helpless person, what is the best kind of help to be given.
If there are a group of people who are starving, then the answer may be to give money to a reputable organization that can use the funds to purchase food for the hungry. If there are people who are homeless, unless one can provide a home (which many of us cannot or do not feel comfortable offering) then the best way to help might be to either volunteer time to an organization for the homeless, or give funds to such an organization. Sometimes the best way to help the helpless is through an organization dedicated to helping a particular group of people.
When someone we know personally needs help, such as a family member of close friend, then we need to find out from that person what will be most helpful. If our loved one is recovering from surgery would it be helpful to bring food? If so, we need to find out what kind of food the person is advised and likes to eat, or our food will simply take up room in the refrigerator and never be eaten. If the person needs to have someone walk the dog or feed the cat, then we need to know if we can do that j0b, or if someone else needs to help in that way. If the person needs shopping done, perhaps that is the thing to do. When getting a list of the person's needs, it is important to organize a group of family or friends so that as large a number of people as possible share in the helping activities. As one person, it becomes too difficult to keep up with all of ones own responsibilities as well as the responsibilities of a loved one who for the moment, cannot do their own chores. Sometimes the best way to help a loved one in need is to organize a group of "helpers."
It becomes harder to know how to help a helpless person who really could help themselves if he or she was motivated to do so. We all know people who through lack of courage, moral stamina and determination, bring themselves into a place of despair that they could get themselves out of. From my point of view, these people need a spiritual lift into an energy of hope. They need a psychological understanding that they are responsible for themselves. In many of these cases, we advice people to seek medical help or to see a therapist. When the person refuses, it becomes very difficult to know how to help a person who will not help themselves. I sometimes reach a point where my only choice is to pray for a person in such despair, as my phone calls and visits do not seem to provide much help. In these cases, I also have to put a limit on the number of phone calls and visits I make, because ultimately I can also become depressed and frustrated. However, I do not wish to stop communication, but must set limits. Sometimes we must set limits with people who could help themselves but do not.
Helping others is an important part of the spiritual path for each one of us. It is difficult to make time to help others and often difficult to share our money. But unless we are starving ourselves and unable to take care of ourselves, we must make both time and money, within our own limits, available for those in need.

As we approach Earth Day on April 22, we need to remember that Earth Day must be an Every Day event in our lives. We can no longer sit back and blame "THEM" for using up the earths resources, as it is "US." There is no "THEM" to blame.
It is only through spiritual unfoldment and opening to the wider aspects of our consciousness that we are likely to make the huge changes that we need to make on this planet. In order for us to change, we have to think less about our personal desires and more about what is good for the world as a whole. Coming to this state of mind is very difficult and without spiritual growth, we will only make minor changes in our lives.
Today and every day each one of us must ask ourselves "What can I do today to help the world? What can I do to reduce the carbon-footprint on this earth? What can I do to help people who do not have enough to eat? What can I do to help our world learn to find solutions to disagreements?
We need to evolve into human beings that find war, poverty and pollution unthinkable. This will only come as we evolve spiritually.

People were so happy buying books to help feed hungry babies in India….. April 13, 2009Posted by Carole Lynne in Spiritual Priority, Spiritualism Religion, Uncategorized.

There are hungry children all around the world, and if it makes you feel too sad to read these words, please try to keep reading anyway, as there is SO much that each one of us can do without spending much money at all. Yesterday I was part of an event where people bought books in order to help feed babies in Southern India. If you could have seen the smiles on people's faces as they paid their money. I have never seen people so happy letting go of their money, other than at an incredible sale at Feline's Basement in Boston, or at a fantastic yard sale. The point is, people like a good deal and people like to help others. In a fundraiser yesterday at a Spiritualist Church in Salem, New Hampshire, people were given a great opportunity to help others and buy books. It was a win win situation. I had my new book for sale Cosmic Connection: Messages for a Better World. This book is about honoring our own unique spiritual experiences and about evolving spiritually so that we can each make better choices for our troubled world. I want to use this book at events like the fundraiser yesterday. The book IS about spiritual evolution, and so it should be used to help others. I enjoyed the fundraiser yesterday, and we raised enough money to put one new baby in the feeding program, and when a few more dollars are raised to add to the funds raised yesterday, we will be able to add a second new baby to the feeding program in Southern India.
As a Spiritualist minister and medium, I serve many Spiritualist churches in the United States. As an author of four books, when I do book signings at churches, I often donate a box of my books and then all the monies received during the sale of the books goes to the Babies Need Food project, which is sponsored by our family charity: The Rani Roberts Memorial Corporation. Every time we raise between $125 and $150 we are able to put another baby into our feeding program in southern India, which feeds a baby for the first two years of life. Yesterday, at the Spiritualist Church in Salem, Massachusetts, people bought books knowing that every penny would go to buy formula and medications for needy babies. We are fortunate to have family members that do all of the administrative work in the foundation, so that all monies collected can go to buy food and medications.
I thank the Spiritualist Church in Salem, New Hampshire for their support.
I know that many of you already give what you can to charity and hopefully all of us will continue to give all that we can during these hard financial times.

"Cosmically Conscious" with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Warms My Heart April 8, 2009Posted by Carole Lynne in Love.

Sometimes we feel a "spiritual high." I had one this week through one of those supposed coincidences, that many of us feel are not really coincidences. Here is it the first week my new book Cosmic Connection: Messages for a Better World is available in bookstores. My husband, God bless him, sends me an article from the New York Times about a benefit concert called Change Begins Within. The headliners were Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and they sang a song called Cosmically Conscious. When I read the article and especially when I listened to the song on YouTube, I was elated. While I realize this song was not written for me personally, it felt as if it had been written for all of us who realize that it is NOW time to create a better world, and change does begin within.
On a personal level, my husband brought me this song at just the right moment, and that was a true gift.
I have promised myself for three years: "When I finish writing this book and I am in the process of letting the world know about Cosmic Connection: Messages for a Better World" I am going to bring my music back into my life. I am going to cut the finger nails of my left hand (you female guitarists know how hard it is to have to do this) and start playing guitar and singing again.
Cosmically Conscious is going to be the first new song I will learn. I got my guitar out this morning and I am working up to getting out the nail clippers.
Hope you all get a chance to share in my spiritual experiences in Cosmic Connection: Messages for a Better World. The excitement I feel about the new book and the words spirit has given me for the book, is boundless.

To check out this charity visit www.babiesneedfood.org.
We gathered together for a demonstration of spirit communication provided by yours truly. Kendra was gracious and opened up her home for the gathering. Thank you Kendra. And thanks to Kelly for supplying the flier and Jenna for providing transportation for me to and from the event. And Valerie for bringing extra chairs.
When I have received all the pictures of the event I will post some on this blog and some on my website,

I realize that what I feel inside controls my happiness.Fortunately most of the time my feelings are happy. I love life, and being alive. I feel joy in watching the sky and observing nature. Still sometimes as a result of my current circumstance, I am exposed to people that are angry, frustrated, full of hate, and have no respect. When this happens my feelings trigger my ego and my behavior changes and I feel frustration. I have decided to try something new when this happens again. I will visualize the people acting this way as animated objects and how they would appear if looking into a distorted mirror at an amusement park. I will see their heads as big as watermelon, and their mouths as small as a green pea. The same kind that was put under the princesses bed in a famous children's story. Hopefully this will make me laugh or smile and forget about the negativity that is coming my way. Only I can control how I feel and I strive not to allow others to change my attitude.
I hope this technique works and hope that others might benefit from thinking silly thoughts to maintain their state of mind and enable them to live with love and peace.
Blessings to all and as always your thoughts and comments are welcome

Conflict is something we have all come across at one point or another. Whether at school, at work or even at home. Conflict is just one of those things that is hard to avoid. Especially when working with different people. Conflict can be a negative energy which at times destroys relationship especially when people don't know how to manage it. Which is why, when faced with conflict sometimes the best thing to do is to walk away.
Dealing with conflict
3 ways to find your personal style
Have you ever seen those women who look beautiful and well put together? They may not be wearing the most expensive clothes but they have great confidence and sense of style? Well I have, and for a long time I wanted to know what their secret was. That was of course until I found out that what they had was a sense of personal style. Personal style, for those of you ladies who don't know is a sense of style that speaks to you and who you are as well as what you do in your everyday life. After all, one of the secrets to great personal style is being comfortable to do the things you want to do, without feeling restricted by your clothes.
What is masturbation?
We have spoken a lot about masturbation on the site but how many of us know what masturbation actually is? Masturbation is when you touch your body for sexual pleasure. People masturbate in lots of different ways. How you masturbate depends on how comfortable you are with yourself, and what makes your body feel good.
Why eating at home is better for you
I love eating out. Something about eating food that you didn't have to cook makes it taste better. The funny thing about that though is that even though I love eating out, I also love cooking. Which is why it is always a toss up in our house between eating out, or cooking. That was, of course, until I started becoming a very picky eater. For someone who has a sensitive stomach like mine, sometimes eating out can feel like a death sentence. Which is why lately, when given the choice, I almost always choose to eat at home.

Monday Meme - Google Yourself
Posted by Chic Aeon in meme on Sunday, November 5, 2017
Well your avatar self of course. Happily this will keep me awake for awhile after daylight savings change :D
In that incognito window I find:
1. 101,000 entries on Chic Aeon.
2. First five links are Blog, YouTube, Marketplace, Facebook (which I don't use) and Google+ which I no longer use but was very active when in Opensim.
The images that come up are these:
They are:
- The logo for my intermediate Blender tutorials.
- My blog profile picture
- The photo from my Terradale blog (current LEA Artists in Residence installation) -- actually NO that is not from the blog, that is the open house announcement from September. No idea where that came from.
- The title shot from a machinima of a few years back
- Something someone posted on Pinterest (who knew?) from LONG ago.
- A photo from Halloween a few years ago in Opensim (this was featured on HypergridBusiness.com so I think that is were it came from)
The videos come up are my YouTube channel, Blender tutorial (this year), Folding Time (2015 video for UWA contest) and more tutorials and UWA videos
For news, there are articles from OpenSim:
I am not particularly surprised by any results although the only news that came up was from Opensim and that is a little odd to me. OH, I guess I AM surprised for Facebook to show up in my top search results. I am guessing folks are maybe posting there and it "looks" active while it is not.
For a long while Google was posting "for" me on Google Plus putting in lots of blog photos as well and adding all my YouTube videos to the list, so possible something like that. NEVER write me at Facebook. I haven't been there in MANY years *wink*. It is all smoke and mirrors.
This was fun but didn't take long enough. STILL, not time to go to bed on by the new clock numbers.
I may cheat and turn in early :D.

"Firms lead feds into Web video"
"Excalibur digitizes GSA pay info"
Members of the U.S. arms control community will soon be able to go online
to find treaty information, regardless of where it resides, with an intelligent
search function being built into the State Department's new Treaty Information
State's Bureau of Verification and Compliance planned to announce today
the selection of Excalibur Technologies Corp., to provide the advanced search
function for the portal through the company's RetrievalWare technology.
The new system, which will be deployed on the Defense Department's Secret
Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) worldwide intranet, will provide
arms control community members with a single point of access to information
on treaties, compliance, inspection and other mission-critical arms treaty
data, said Ned Williams, data repository manager at the Bureau of Verification
and Compliance.
The portal is scheduled to be up and running by late September.
The Bureau of Verification and Compliance is responsible for the overall
supervision, including oversight of policy and resources, of all matters
relating to verification and compliance with international arms control,
nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements and commitments.
Excalibur, based in Vienna, Va., is a provider of content management solutions
for indexing and retrieving text, video and images via the Internet and
intranets. RetrievalWare is an intelligent search system that allows flexibility
and scalability for implementation across corporate intranets and extranets.
It enables people to index and search a wide range of distributed information
resources, including text files; HTML documents; relational database tables;
more than 200 proprietary document formats, including word processors and
publishing systems; and groupware repositories. Advanced search capabilities
include concept and keyword searching, pattern searching and query-by-example.
"Currently, they basically have diverse ways of getting information, not
one global search," said Mark Myers, director of product marketing at Excalibur.
"Our software ties all the pieces together...and adds a level of security
so for secure documents only certain individuals or groups can see them."
Myers said RetrievalWare's security features are based on the permissions
assigned to people through the various file systems being used to store
the information. When the documents are indexed, those preferences, usernames
and passwords are also included so only people with proper security clearances
get access to specific classified data.
Excalibur's federal customers include the Air Force Research Laboratory,
the Justice Department, the Food and Drug Administration, the Joints Chiefs
of Staff, the Justice Technology Information Network, the National Institutes
of Health, the Naval Research Laboratory, the Air Force, the Army and the

King's Field IV
I remember getting King's Field 1 and 2 on PlayStation 1 during my early years as a 32 bit system adopter, and wondering if I'd taken a quaalude, or perhaps set the PS1 on 33 1/3 speed. The game was s-l-o-w. Looking back, however, it had some elements of Oblivion or Morrowind, in that you had the first person perspective, and the illusion of free roaming. OK, perhaps I'm stretching a bit.
Having played King's Field IV for a whopping and extensive period of at least 5 minutes, I'd have to say I'm stretching a lot. The graphics may be a major improvement on the PS1 games, and surprisingly good even now (the game originally came out in 2002), the glacial pace still exists. The hand of your character swinging a club down is in an incredibly amusing slow motion. I also particularly enjoyed a cheap death or two, resulting in reloading the entire game, since I hadn't found a save point yet. To be avoided.

Andrew started freshmen band camp today. Eric initially thought he'd play percussion in band this year, just so he could be part of band. But he changed his mind and has decided to sit out band this fall. The doctors say to give his lungs six more months to heal, then hopefully he can try his trumpet again, possibly re-join the band second semester, and see how it goes. In the meantime, for extra-curricular activity, Eric will focus on piano and theater lessons. Next week, he's taking a musical theater class through the Children's Theater Company at the Central School here in Lake Charles.

We arrived at Mo Ranch yesterday afternoon without a hitch. Surprisingly, the eight hour drive passed relatively quickly. We're here with several youth from our church for a multicultural conference. There are about 200 participants from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and as far away as Georgia, and Puerto Rico.
I thought, briefly, about not bringing my computer, but opted to bring her along after all, deciding the withdrawl would be too painful.
It's beautiful here, quite hot, but not as humid as Lake Charles. Mo Ranch lies nestled along the verdant, meandering Guadalupe River. We're in the Texas "hill country," and indeed, it's quite hilly. Eric and Andrew are having a good time so far, meeting new people and making friends. Here are several photos from our first day here.

Anniversaries and Life Lessons
If there's anything that makes Louisiana feel like home, it's the people; the amazing friends we've made here. There's no doubt that these wonderful people have made us feel welcome and loved.
Eric has been home from the hospital for two months and a day now. He's made incredible strides in his recovery, by far exceeding our expectations. He's gained 18 pounds so far. And he's progressing quickly in physical therapy. Yesterday at church, he took the 22 stairs up to fellowship hall two by two, without any oxygen. All this, and yet, it's difficult for Eric to appreciate these achievements. It's frustrating for a fourteen year old boy who's tired of using O2 and feeling short of breath with a fraction of the activity he could do prior to his illness. He just wants to be better. Back to normal. Now. And we have no idea how long this recovery ultimately will take and to what degree Eric will fully recover. What lessons we're all learning . . . patience, acceptance, gratitude, the value of prayer, hope, and faith. Thank you all for joining us on this journey.
We're headed to the library this evening to find books, audio books, and videos for the long car ride to Mo Ranch this Thursday and the return on Sunday. Also at the library, the boys are taking a comic book art class for teens.

Fourth of July
Independence Day. I'd like to claim independence. I want to embrace independence from some ingrained habits that waste my time and pre-occupy my mind, decreasing my productivity. In other words, I want to write more.
Yesterday was Eric's last day for occupational therapy. But his physical therapist Kim wants to continue seeing him once a week, mostly to keep him on track, but also to see if we can wean the amount of oxygen he uses with exercise. Heavy exertion is the only time he uses O2 now.
Bob was off yesterday, so for Eric's post-PT snack (definitely more like a meal), we went to O'Charlie's restaurant. They have great food.

7 Tips to Feeling More Sensual
What happened to that sexy, flirtatious girl you used to know?
Don't worry — she's still in there.
Sensuality and seductiveness is never about what we wear or show to the outside world. It's aboutthe way we feel inside; it is simply an attitude and a seductive MINDSET. The sexiest part of any woman's body is between her ears – the way she thinks. Especially about herself.
Sex, a sexier life and self-esteem go hand in hand, because if you don't feel good about yourself andyour body, the chances of feeling good in bed are limited.
There are many ways to feel sexier in your daily life – and many of these are to do with the way you treat yourself. Being sexy is not about looks. It is all about self-worth. Your sexual confidence includes how you feel about your body, how you imagine other people perceive you, and whether or not you feel attractive to the opposite sex.
Sophia Loren said, "Sex appeal is fifty per cent what you've got and fifty per cent what people think you've got."
Magnetic sexy women want adventures, to be with them is to bask in their aura, it hints at world of possibilities and feminine mystique. They don't wait for others to light their fire – they simply set their own blaze. Most importantly they don't try and please men. They aim to please themselves. Ironically it's this very attitude that creates the sense of gravity that pulls men towards them.
Tips to Feel More Sexy and Sensual
Sensuality is not simply about learning to appreciate your body — it's also about making the sensory experience part of your everyday life, the more tuned in you are to the way things feel, look, smell, and taste, the more sensual — and sexual — you'll become. Becoming more beautiful and sexy is available to everyone. Look within, discover who you are and fall in love with her.
Your Inner Sensual Goddess wants to let you know that you are a woman and not to hide yourselfaway. Close your eyes and feel her dancing around you. Release the old you and embrace your femininity, your curves and your fabulousness.
1. Visualization can be very powerful, Several times a day, imagine yourself as a powerful, loving and seductive woman who oozes femininity, sensuality and passion…. Believing yourself to be a powerful, loving and seductive woman will reinforce your subconscious mind, giving you a seductive mindset and attitude, as well as bring you the confidence you need to attract quality men.
Go ahead and say it – "I am sexy."
•I am a sensual, sexual woman.
•I am a vixen
•I deserve pleasure
•I am sexy and beautiful.
•I embrace my body and my sexuality.
•Receiving pleasure is as important as giving pleasure.
•I open myself to pleasure.
2. Fill up Your Pleasure Tank. The sensual Goddess requires Pleasure! There is nothing sexy about a dry, crackly, bitchy, whining woman. Notice when you're operating on empty. Then start thinking of ways you can make every day even more pleasurable. Make time for something you love every day. Notice how much sexier you feel when you treat yourself like the sensual goddess you are.
3. Dance – Whether it's taking up pole dancing, belly dance, burlesque or just dancing at home by yourself, Dance reconnects you to the Feminine Sensual Goddess inside
4. Immerse yourself in full body sensuality: set aside time for soaking in a bath scented with Essential Oils. Light some candles and listen to your favourite music as your body and mind relax. And then, massage coconut oil into your warm skin… taking time to follow your body's curves and taking a detour to all the right places.
5. Do your Kegels. Kegels can improve genital tone and sexual response, all of which can make orgasms more intense for you and your partner. Isolate the muscles you use to stop and start urine flow and then clench and release those muscles whenever you are stuck in traffic or in a boring meeting.
6. Connect to your body. Knowing and understanding your body is essential to being a sensual and sexy. It also comes in handy when you want to be intimate with another individual – you know what you like and need and can have healthy communication about it.
In order to seduce a man, a woman must first and foremost seduce herself!
7. Sleep naked. If you're a pyjama pants and T-shirt kind of girl, sleeping naked will make youfeel a thousand times sexier, which will in turn, get you in the mood.
Next time I will talk about how to Ignite Your Sex Life.
I'd love your comments on what you do to feel more sensual.

That's right, as predicted here, healthcare and insurance coverage is taking center stage in many mid-term races across the Country. The Media is inserting itself with stories that suggest one GOP candidate after another is against covering pre-ex or for repealing the ACA, or Short-term plans are good and so forth.
The biggest, most threatening and most mis-reported is the candidate's stance on the coverage for Pre-existing conditions. I have not read or heard of even one candidate that proposes the elimination of guaranteed acceptance or coverage for pre-existing conditions. He or she would be a fool to do so but here's how the Media spins it.
Many in the GOP and other so-called Conservatives support the Trump Administration's actions that:
- Allow Short-term Medical Plans to extend coverage for up to a year.
- Allow for Association Health Plans that allow "affinity" or groups of similar nature to band together for the purpose of buying insurance.
Both of these ideas are opposed by the Democrats and other single-payer big government healthcare proponents who don't support solutions that might actually work and therefore provide options other than a government-run plan.
That comment is not cynical, by the way, because any debate about these plans includes the usual sound bite rhetoric opposing STPs and AHPs.
But back to the point, the Dems and Media, during these mid-terms, are trying to paint the GOP with the label of "taking away coverage for Pre-ex" because pre-ex is not usually covered by STPs and AHPs and those plans will have some latitude in coverage.
Our citizens will always have access to ACA plans that are GI and cover Pre-ex so the argument should be an easy one to overcome. But it's not.
The typical scare tactics are being employed:
- To frighten citizens into believing that their coverage will be taken away.
- To scare people into thinking that their premiums for their ACA plans will increased simply because of these "evil" STPs and AHPs.
The good news that:
- I think most Americans are smarter than the Media or Democrats give credit.
- Plus, people with Pre-ex conditions most likely already have their coverage.
- And 85% to 90% of individuals covered under the ACA Exchanges are subsidized therefore costing the member little or nothing to get coverage.
But, the Media needs to talk about something so as it does with so many issues it projects hypotheticals on to an issue that does not exist. Then that hypothetical gets reported by other outlets two or three times and "bingo" it's a news story that gets legs.
It's a fact and for certain that our health care system needs fixed. There are easy steps, which we have Posted before, that could lead to better coverage, better access and lower costs if only they would put you and me in charge.
Next week we'll discuss the coming mid-term election with some specific ideas for people who really want a better-less costly healthcare solution. That's why we call it the "The Solutions Based healthcare Blog" and because we're all in this together!
Until next week.
Mark Reynolds, RHU
It means "Walk the Faith".

Stuff on My Mind
I plain just don't get this one. The significance of sneakers looped over a power line. I don't see any connection with a major holiday, such as egging a house for Halloween, or toilet papering someone's tree's for… well for whatever reason. I wonder if we research footwear, maybe there'll be some strange historical trivia that'll explain it all. Maybe someone thought a pair of Air Jordan's were literally meant to fly through the air, and land on a phone line? But if they were Keds? What about Sketchers? I'll need help on this one.
How about lead. Anyone who's rented, purchased, sold, or lived in a dwelling has faced the 'lead paint question'. I'm pretty sure I didn't eat paint chips as a child, but evidently enough children did to make this an important issue in real estate. And rightly so, it's been proven to cause some nasty things. Enough said. More recently, pediatricians are warning of candles made with lead wicks. Who knew? So, now I've gone through all my candles to ensure that they aren't emitting lead into the air my family breathes. OK.
But in crystal, lead's a good thing? Don't get me wrong…if it's pretty, I want it. But why is lead ok in stuff we drink out of, but not paint and wicks. No, I'm not asking for a chemist to answer this, it's more of a rhetorical thing.
This one is just dumb. "All employees are required to wash hands before returning to work" Can you say "No Brainer"? But what keeps running through my mind is the unwritten part of this familiar sign. "But it's cool for all you patrons/customers/clients to run willy-nilly through this place of business with germs aplenty on your person - Go for it!"
And this, just makes me mad. Some smart-a** parks their pretty new vehicle on a diagonal - taking up two (or more) parking spaces. Yes, we all know the pain of that first scratch or ding in a brand new car. One of those moments, less than stellar, that make up our lives: A cavity found during a dental check up, the dental check ups themselves, doing taxes, cleaning gutters, and - the first scratch. Everyone has to go through it. You try to avoid it, of course, but it's like those taxes, it's inevitable. So grow up already, and stop being so freakin' selfish!
I'm wondering if this looks like I have too much time on my hands. No, just too much Stuff on My Mind. Till next time.

Systematic Investment Plan
Systematic Investment Plan is also named as SIP essentially permits to invest a fixed amount, regularly into the funds of your choice. Under SIP category, a regular deduction is made from your savings account, monthly and channelized towards the fund/s you personally choose for investment.
The basic advantages
- Invest small amounts in fixed interval
- Choose an auto payment option
- Absorb market changes
- Fix a budget and spend
SIP has recently been liked by the salaried section of the society. There are not too many investment tactics but choosing the most befitting one is the challenge. Investing money mindfully into mutual funds is normally learnt over time. The money contributed can a lump sum amount or fixed investments over a span of time known as SIP.
How does Systematic Investment Plan work?
From the longest time, the security market is exceptionally volatile and it's very difficult to predict numbers in the Indian financial markets. Most essentially, in the developing economies because volatility is at its peak. So obviously, no hit and trial method works there. Such volatility leads to investment insecurity for individuals who like to invest directly. Even the market experts fail to make accurate predictions sometimes. This is when rupee cost averaging enters the scene and SIPs become popular.
SIP is as simple as regular pumping of money for investments. Basically one preset amount is deducted from your account every month to be invested in funds on a fixed date. So, in nutshell you do not govern investments directly, the money goes into funds of value. Hence, you make investments leaving your pocket unaffected and in an easy-to-understand-and-operate model for most.
A Systematic Investment Plan is an intelligent and easy mode of putting money into mutual funds without investing too much time and mind into it. A few numbers are given out basis the current market rate (NAV or net asset value) on the same day. SIP ensures you to pool in pre- determined intervals (weekly, monthly, and quarterly), a predetermined sum of money. SIP is quite a structured approach towards investments and grows in you the knack of saving for future.
Advantages of SIP
To perfectly understand the concept of SIP, two more concepts are needed to be understood well. Rupee Cost Averaging and Power of Compounding, in addition with Discipline and Regularity. Every time money is invested, two more units of the mutual fund scheme at the market rate is added to the account. Therefore. More units are purchased at different prices and different values.
Rupee-Cost averaging
Since, deciding upon the right time to invest in the market is difficult, Infact even the entry time is tricky, hence rupee-cost averaging helps you to take concrete decisions. As a routine investor, your fixed amount will attract more units when the price is low and lesser when the price is high. During the changing conditions, an average cost will be reached at.
Power of Compounding
The concept of power of compounding is quite clear. The earlier you start investing, more are the chances for you to earn.
Allocated Benefits of SIP
Disciplined Saving – Just make it a point to invest regularly without any misses. Disciplined investments is a must to maintain your stream of returns on routine basis. With each payment you commit towards your financial goal.
Flexibility – SIP grants you the flexibility to invest with a long term viewpoint and hence can be stopped at any point in time. One can withdraw plans whenever they like along with the amount invested in the plan.
Long-Term Returns– Rupee-cost averaging and the power of compounding can make SIP establish itself as the best investment plan, attracting returns over a long stretch.
SIP investments are the best way to issue a standing instruction to your bank to facilitate auto-debits from your savings account. They have proven themselves to be the best methodology to indulge in material plans. The talking about SIPs has gone up owing to the last few initiatives by the Govt. The utility of SIP investments have come to the fore.

One particularly important ingredient in Ramissio Protect is the eastern black walnut, a tree originally from South America, which is an outstanding natural means of combating parasites. In the past the extract from its husks was used by Indian tribes to cleanse the intestinal tract of parasites that infested it. the husks, which are still used in healing and medicine today, help the body to rid itself of accumulated toxins and acts again various types of worms, tapeworms, pinworms and yeasts, as well as against malaria.
Ramissio Protect also contains pink lapacho, which the ancient Incas used to call "The Tree of Life" and treated with the utmost honor and respect. It has exceptional antibacterial and antiparasitic effects, which have also been proven by scientific analysis of this plant. This natural miracle has also become famous in recent years thanks to its ability to combat numerous bacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and other parasites.

How to Use Stats to Find the Next Bargain Transfer:
Furthermore, Tadic was heavily involved in Twente's attack beyond just attempting shots. I built a statistic for involvement in build-up play which measures how often a player contributes to the open-play attacking move that led to a quality chance. If he completes a pass or a cross, or wins the ball with a tackle or interception in the build-up to a shot, he gets credit for being involved. Tadic led the Eredivisie in expected goals chance involvement by a significant margin.
When Southampton purchased their Tadic they were not only buying a player with impressive goal and assist numbers, but a player whose underlying stats reflected his consistent contributions to his team's attack. When scouting for bargains, this sort of well-rounded contribution to the attack is precisely what you want to look for.

This is a project that, we hope, will inspire both Pagans and non-Pagans who support the work of HAD.
We are looking to build up a database of British museums that hold the ancestors and their bodily evidence, in particular those of ancient British provenance. Refer to HAD's Statement of Intention for a definitive clarification of HAD's remit and principal focus.
The purpose of the database is to:
- build a primary resource for academic and general heritage research;
- engender debate, based on contemporary Pagan ethics, about future strategies for the respectful treatment of the ancestors;
- identify opportunities within museums where consultation on the storage, display, inclusion in public programmes or reburial of the ancestors can be prioritised;
- promote dialogue between museums and local communities.
Questionnaires inviting museums to be involved have been sent out to hundreds of museums in Britain. Because we don't have the manpower at HAD to do follow up each one, and because we feel the importance of local landscape and community, we are asking individuals to find their own local museum(s) in the database here, let us know that they would like to be a part of the survey, and we'll send an introductory letter paving the way for them to follow up on the questionnaire.
What we'd like to have is the following for each museum whose collection falls within our remit:
- name and location of the museum;
- who the museum is funded by, ie. local authority, university, heritage trust or other;
- the number of ancestors in its collection, and how many of those are of ancient British provenance, pre-Christian or in other way Pagan;
- how many of these ancestors are well documented, with clear context of date and place of exhumation?
- for ancestors in store, is there;
- a history of use?
- potential for use, in display, education or scientific analysis?
- does the museum have a disposal policy, and is it including the ancestors with negligible potential in its discussions about disposal?
- what sources of information about these ancestors are in the public domain and where? (Note: the DCMS Guidance for the Care of Human Remains in Museums states that museums have a responsibility to make this information available.);
- are any of these ancestors currently on display and in what context? What is your opinion, and that of the local community, of this display?
- does the museum hold any iconic ancestors, ie. complete skeletons with a well documented story, and are these on display?
How to go about this:
- In the first place, let us know what you intend to do (contact us), giving us contact information for the museum if you have it. If someone else is working on that museum, or we have particular contacts or are already in negotiation with the museum, we can let you know;
- HAD will get in touch with the museum, finding the appropriate person for you to talk to, let them know that you will be in touch, so giving you an easier way in;
- With our introduction, you can then talk with the relevant people at the museum, exploring as much as you can, and send us a report for the website.
Note : The government's Scoping Survey gives an idea of whether or not your local museum does hold ancestors, but that survey is now in part out of date and was not entirely comprehensive at the time of its compilation.

Email forwarding from Gmail not working
gazumped posted a topic in General Technical IssuesSo. Punting this out to the general audience to see if anyone has ideas. I'm trying to set up a filter in Gmail to forward emails to Evernote via my Filterize account, which can assign them to different notebooks and maybe carry out different processing as appropriate. (Yes, I could use my Evernote email address, but I can't change the subject line of the forwarded email so all directly-forwarded emails go into my default notebook.) I'm sure I've had this working before, but while I can 'verify' the email address to Gmail by picking up a code (from the resulting note) that they sent there, using the same email address as a filter just doesn't work. At first I thought it was my fault. Then Evernote. Then Filterize; but... I reset my Evernote address and deleted all the filters I had set up to start from scratch. I verified that email sent to my new address does appear as a note. I added that note to my forwarding addresses in Gmail, and was able to receive the code they send out. Then, using the same target email I set up a filter: if Gmail receives a mail from this address, send it to my account; and run that filter against the 1 email already found. Result: Nope. Nuttin'. Nada. No forwarding happens. The same email to the same email address, and it forwards if I do this 'manually' while setting up a filter, but the resulting filter does not work. Tried filtering to my 'other' Gmail account so I could verify any differences in email headers. But that doesn't work either. So this looks like a purely Gmail Filter problem - I can set up a forwarding address, but forwarding by filter no longer works for me. I will check my Gmail settings to see if there's something hinky in here, but if anyone has any ideas or can contribute anything - even that their gmail forwarding works, I'd be very grateful!! Apologies for whinging into your day with my problems! If I find the cure I'll post more... <mutter, mutter, mutter>...
Without touching the trackpad, How do I.....
indigochateau posted a topic in ProductivityKonichiwa, Evernote Community. Pleased to see you. Let's get into it. Keyboard navigation. What are your favourite hacks and workflows and keyboard shortcuts in Evernote? I am currently seeking the keyboard shortcut to tab around the note space. For example, when I open a new note (^⌥⌘-N) it drops me into the main note taking space. But without touching the trackpad, how to I edit notebook and tags? Inquisitive minds would like to know!
Hi, I have the professional membership of Evernote. Could you restore the function that can search notebook in the "web clipper"? I think it's waste a lot of time to pull down menu when we without that function.
Search with paged results
mitwaaguys posted an idea in Evernote for Windows RequestsSearches are usually slow, and even freezes the app, when number of notes are very large. It is frustrating and keeps the user waiting. I am using Evernote as a news feed reader. If I want to fire a search, I would most of the time require results say top 10 or top 20 from the most recently created/updated notes. This creates a case for a feature requirement, where search process suspends (and not continue searching exhaustively), after displaying such specified number of results, with a "More.." button at the end. If the user wishes, he can continue to get more results, by clicking the button. It will save time and resources, and make the app responsive.
Increased Search Efficiency
TahoeLocal posted an idea in Evernote for Windows RequestsMy installation is slowing down and becoming nearly impossible to use, constantly getting "EverNote is unresponsive" when it is just doing a search. Tags are indexed and are much faster in searching, but if you don't start the search with the first character being an exact match, the possible fill options are not displayed and it then becomes a search for the right tag. Since I frequently remember only part of the tag used previously, I want to be able to search for "fragments" of a tag. This would speed up my selection considerably. In particular, nested tags are the only method that I am aware of that enables a hierarchical structure, but it is severely limited by the lack of this ability. This would make the use of nested tags much more usable in providing faster searching and hierarchical depth. Maybe this won't work for everyone, so how about providing the option for the user to decide which search option works best for them? This seems like a simple and straight forward improvement to the products intended purpose.
For the Android App (v.7.9.3) and Windows Desktop platform(v. 6.2.3), I want you to consider adding a "text commenting" feature for a wide range of text-based notes, a feature thus distinct from the appreciated but far too cumbersome Image/PDF Annotation tool. To my knowledge, only Mac users have anything resembling what I suggest. Most assuredly, I appreciate the Evernote team's effort to afford its registered users and/or paying customers similar experiences regardless of operating system. But even if or, more likely, when that happens, users who practice a conversational feedback style will still find Evernote's solution insufficient if it is based on the current annotation tool. While I cannot propose exactly how to incorporate the tool I request, I suspect it can be designed fairly easily, such that all a user would need to do is type a quick command after highlighting a section of text or the entire text and then type his or her comment. A relative newbie to productivity tools as such, I've steadily sung the praises of Evernote, and despite the fee increase, I intend to remain a Premium subscriber. However, there's one shortcoming that only frustrates me more as more time elapses: there is no efficient, precise, and minimally disruptive way to embed additional content in text-based notes. Both as a graduate student and composition instructor, I have relied heavily on this basic word processing function. No doubt, I could add these thoughts, questions, comments, and reflections in the same linear arrangement of the original text. While this would seem to foster conceptual integration and cohesion later in the writing process, such a result is unrealistic and frankly unhelpful at the note-taking and organizational/analytical modes.This apparently seamless transition between the thinking-writing mode and the meta-cognitive modes of reflection and revision serves mostly to undermine them both. So intertwined, there's less opportunity to recognize one perspective as thinking about the other's thinking, and in turn, it's more difficult to reap the benefits of engaging that thinking in a dialogue. Given my multi-project personal and professional uses for Evernote, I had largely abandoned other, similar applications and tools. Now, I've found that my best recourse has been, once again, to rely on two or more writing/note-taking applications. Still, the second or two it takes to acclimate to a new page with totally different content can be--and has been--enough to lose that extemporaneous thought connection. At both ends, there lacks a basic control in Evernote of how comments interact with the note's text; in contrast, an embedded or marginal comment readily connects to text whether with sentence- or word-level precision or with expansive, "big idea" broad strokes, as with end comments, and further, these ends are achievable typically with only one or two gestures or clicks to switch to the meta-thinking mode.
ios Feature request: TAG my Skitch documents ! !
jillianxenia posted an idea in Skitch for iOS RequestsThere should be no " read only " lock on skitch documents. I NEED to add TAGS to my skitch documents or what's the point ?? Tagging is essential to Evernote yet skitch an Evernote product , you can't tag. Either inside skitch or inside Evernote .... I need to be able to add tags !!!! I shouldn't have to save my skitch as a jpeg then upload to add tags. Evernote is about convenience, not being able to tag skitch documents is unreal !!!!!
As a blogger I love love love evernote's ability to let me take notes on the spot, access my previous notes, organize and maintain consistency on all my devices. I don't know about you all but it used to drive me nuts to have to search slide, and search through my apps to open it when I had a brilliant idea, saw something go by I wanted to write down etc. I got this app for my android called 2click.

In the Alekhine Defence, contrary to the classical methods of playing in the opening, Black does not fight for the centre with his pawns, but begins to exert immediate pressure against White's centre. Black's knight on f6 attacks the pawn on e4, and if it advances, then Black's d-pawn joins into the attack against it.
Play the Alekhine Defence
1. e4 e5: Sizzling Ideas for Black!
The Open Games (those beginning 1 e4 e5) are now more topical than ever, featured in a high proportion of elite-level games. This new user-friendly guide offers players of all levels a carefully worked-out repertoire, taking into account this wealth of new material. Noted opening writer Sverre Johnsen has also taken a critical look at the more traditional Open Games, where theory is often based on old or obscure games.
How to Beat the Open Games
A Black repertoire based on the Queens Gambit Declined. All the opening variations for Black have been chosen according to the latest fashion in the games of the top-class grandmasters.
Play 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6!
A Practical Black Repertoire with d5, c6 Volume 2 deals in depth with the Caro-Kann Defence 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 and various deviations for White as 1.e4 c6 2.d3; 2.Nc3; 2.c4.
A Practical Black Repertoire with d5, c6 - Caro-Kann and Other Defences - Vol. 2
In Volume 1 Kornev's choice of arms against 1.d4 d5 2.c4 is one of the most popular openings in modern chess practice - the Slav Defence. Besides, he considers in detail how to meet opening set-ups where after 1.d4 d5 White refrains from an early c2-c4: 2.Bg5, as well as 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bg5 and 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3. Another topic is the ever growing in popularity The London System (2.Bf4 and 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4)
A Practical Black Repertoire with d5, c6 - Slav and Other Defences - Vol. 1
In this book, GM Alexei Kornev presents a practical black repertoire with Nf6, g6 and d6 - The English, Reti and Other Defences
A Practical Black Repertoire with Nf6, g6, d6 - English, Pirc, Reti and Other Defences - Vol. 1
In this second of the series, GM Alexei Kornev presents a practical black repertoire with Nf6, g6 and d6 - The King's Indian
A Practical Black Repertoire with Nf6, g6, d6 - King's Indian - Vol. 2
A Complete Repertoire Vs. the Sicilian
Every chess player, who begins his games with the move 1.e2-e4, should be perfectly prepared to encounter the move 1...c7-c5. Why is this opening so dangerous for White? The point is that in all the basic variations of the Sicilian Defence the fight is double-edged and often White risks at least as much as Black does. White is practically deprived of the possibility to simplify the position by numerous exchanges.
Rossolimo and Friends
The Nimzo-Indian and Other Defences
'The final volume consists of five parts. In the first part we analyse some seldom played moves for Black. The second part of the book is devoted to the Dutch Defence. In the third part we deal with the different defences for Black after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4, besides 2...c5 and 2...e6. In the fourth part we analyse the Benoni Defence and the Benko Gambit. Finally, in the fifth part of the book, we deal with Black's most reliable opening - the Nimzo-Indian Defence. In this volume, just like in the previous two, we have emphasized on reliability and rationality in our choice of systems for White. For example, against the Dutch Defence we have preferred the move 2.Nc3, with which White reduces Black's possibilities considerably. Against the Nimzo-Indian Defence we analyse theRubinstein System - 4.e3, followed by Nge2, in which White's first task is to avoid compromising of his pawn-structure.''
A Practical White Repertoire with 1. d4 & 2. c4 - VOL. 3
The King's Fianchetto Defences
Alexei Kornev is an international grandmaster and coach. In 2001 he took the silver in the Russian Cup Final. He is also the winner of a number of international tournaments. Highest Elo so far - 2582. For many years, he has been the senior coach of the junior chess school in the city of Vladimir. His students are often among the Russian junior championships for boys and girls.
A Practical White Repertoire with 1. d4 & 2. c4 - VOL. 2
The Complete Queen's Gambit
Most players, including the author, have no inclination to devote all their time to studying opening variations. Therefore, we have decided not to cover 1.e2-e4. As our main opening weapon for White we have chosen the closed openings arising after 1.d2-d4, in which an understanding of chess and a knowledge of the typical resources in the middle game and the endgame are often much more important than a detailed knowledge of a large number of variations.
A Practical White Repertoire with 1. d4 and 2. c4 - VOL. 1
The 1958 Interzonal Chess Tournament in Portoroz was one of the most important and strongest tournaments in chess history, and is still regularly discussed in chess circles today. This is the tournament where the 15-year-old Bobby Fischer earned the grandmaster title and first became a contender for the World Chess Championship. It is also the tournament where Mikhail Tal finally got his first chance to compete in a grandmaster tournament outside of the Soviet Union, and started one of the longest non-losing streaks in chess history on his march to the World Chess Championship.
1958 interzonal Chess Tournament Portoroz
In this book, Grandmaster Leonid Shamkovich and National Master Eric Schiller continue their examination of this variation, which they have been writing about for over a dozen years. They present much new analysis and critically review the many publications which have appeared in recent years.
CLEARANCE - Schliemann Defense - Vol. 2 - Classical Variation
Regular Price: $9.95
Special Price $5.00
The current volume (the fourteenth in the Syzygy Chess Opening Paperbound Series) not only re-examines classical and contemporary opening theory but also explores many new innovations in the middle game of the Center Attack.

CLEARANCE - The Modern Center Attack in the Ruy Lopez
Regular Price: $18.95
Special Price $10.00
The Keres Attack harbors many subtle nuances and intricate finesses which reveal themselves only after serious study. In most chess openings which avoid immediate pawn contact (such as double King pawn and double Queen pawn openings), both players have greater liberty at developing their pieces within their own camps thus delaying a direct confrontation which may ultimately determine the outcome of the game.

Regular Price: $23.95
Special Price $10.00
The 6 Bc4 variation offers a variety of themes and ideas after 6...e6 7 Bb3 b5. White eyes the sensitive e6 square for possible sacrifices with either Be6 or Ne6 once Black has removed one of its protectors (either by ...Bb7 or by blocking its protection with ...Nbd7 or, in some cases, ...Nfd7).

Regular Price: $22.95
Special Price $10.00
This seemingly masochistic yet dynamic reply (7...b5), accredited to international world-class Grandmaster Lev Polugayevsky, is one of the most aggressive moves at Black's disposal. However, this blatant violation of traditional opening principles (six of Black's first seven moves have been pawn moves and initiating flank operations before stabilizing the center), has yet to invoke a clear refutation.
CLEARANCE - The Polugayevsky Variation of the Najdorf Defense
Regular Price: $22.95
Special Price $10.00
"3 e5 seriously cramps Black's Kingside and, if White succeeds in holding his d4 without any counter-balancing disadvantages, a moment must come when Lady Fortuna will smile upon him; in the form, that is, of an attack with his pieces on the Black King in his constricted position, or else a vigorous onslaught on the pawn chain with f4-f5."
CLEARANCE - The Advance Variation of the French Defense - Vol. 2
Regular Price: $18.95
Special Price $10.00
The attacking move 6 f4 against the Dragon Defense appeared in tournament praxis over half a century ago. White bypasses the heavily analyzed Yugoslav Attack (6 Be3, 7 f3 and 8 Qd2) and the well-tested Classical Variation (6 Be2, 7 Be3 and 8 00) in favor of immediate complications in the center.

Isn't he precious?! Not that you can tell, but he's even wearing a little tie! My brother was successfully married...here's them the week before:
Aren't they cute together? I LOVE it!
I've been a terrible knitter...I haven't completed anything, and for about 4 weeks I haven't even picked up the needles. I'm always doing something else...like cooking, cleaning, driving, or just life stuff. Work also seems to get in the way. Oh well...at least our bathrooms are clean. The knitting will probably increase after we get settled in a new place, and things settle down in general. Back to work for me...more pictures tomorrow.

Thomas Kemper, General Secretary of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church will preach at FUMC Boulder on Sunday, June 17.
Kemper, a lay person, is a former missionary in Brazil from the German United Methodist Church. Before coming to the GBGM in 2010, he led the Board of Missions and International Church Cooperation of the United Methodist Germany Central Conference since 1998. Kemper considers it imperative for the mission agency to hold mercy and piety together and to "help local churches around the globe to feel and see themselves as part of a worldwide family, and to overcome the boundaries of culture, race, and denomination in the name of Jesus Christ." He said that he profoundly believes that "the gospel can transform individuals and the world."
"My interest in the Christian mission began in my childhood," Kemper says. "Missionaries would visit the Hamburg congregation where my father was pastor and my mother was involved in the women's mission society. I was excited and challenged by the differing cultural perspectives they represented within our shared faith and Wesleyan heritage."
Kemper and his wife Barbara Hüfner-Kemper, who is joining Thomas at the Mountain Haven in Rollinsville, spent eight years, 1986-1994, as missionaries in Brazil through the German United Methodist Board of Missions. For six of those years, he taught in the Brazilian Theological Seminary in Sao Paulo and also engaged in ministry with the poor and new church development. Earlier, he spent almost two years in London working with the German Methodist Mission and with Vietnamese boat people. Kemper speaks fluent German, English, and Portuguese and is competent in French and Spanish.
