I just finished watching a long (2 and a half hour long!) webinar, and one of the phrases that I want to borrow from there, is this: it's not you, it's your approach that makes you get less out of life than you could.
One of these approaches I see often that rob you of success is:
The Too Direct Approach To Things
One of the mistakes, one of the false beliefs, one of the erroneous ideas your paradigm gives you is to attempt to get from point A to point B through the straight, direct route.
But… No Problem Can Be Solved From The Same Level Of Consciousness That Created It 1
Download the pdf version of this article at the end of the article
Almost every time when you attempt to "fix" something through fixing what is wrong, you are using this strategy, this false belief, and you create a bigger problem.
The shortest distance between point A and B may be a straight line, but not when it comes to traveling the distance.
And especially when it's a project, the short distance, although it is very seductive, leads to a stalemate.
The "reason" this is so is because in real life you need to get ready, you need to get in line with, you need to get aligned with your destination.
When T. Harv Eker said that the point of making millions isn't making of them, but the journey one has to take to become the kind of person who can, at will, generate millions, through their knowledge, their personality, the value of their offerings.
If you look at life through that quote, if you use that quote as a filter, you can see that the straight line may make you a millionaire, but a millionaire who is not ready for their millions, therefore the millions, unearned, will make you miserable… wishing you were never born.
Same with falling into a relationship, falling into a job, losing weight not with your effort, but with drugs, getting "healing" through the actions of another person, doctor, healer, activator, whatever.
Getting something without earning it is a two bit solution
Most people that come to my site, most people that come to me are looking for a two-bit solution to a many-bit issue. This is the type of solutions most gurus offer, promise, and of course they lie…. while they take, smilingly, your money, your time, your hopes and your dreams.
When you deal with two-bit issues, dropping off a package at the post office, picking up bread at the store, etc. then two-bit solutions are perfect.
But when the issue is not two-bit, and most issues aren't, these issues have many moving parts, the the forced two-bit solutions are like cleaning a window with a hammer. On one hand it solves the issue of not being able to see out, but it also destroys the window…
If your desires are not two-bit, then you need to warm up to the idea, that two-bit solutions are the enemy, instead of your friends.
If you buy courses, books, solutions that you hope will take you directly to your dream, you are washing your windows with a hammer.
Your solution, the course, the book, coaching program, counseling, activator may attempt to take you on a journey, but your paradigm, the simplistic, two-bit paradigm, your problem-solution paradigm prevent you from allowing the solution to take you on a journey of self-growth, self-discovery, assisting to find a real solution by becoming a match to your dream.
I have a friend who is like this. We've been friends for seven years, and in seven years I haven't made a difference for him, even though we speak every week. This morning I promised him to attempt to find a way, a method, that would allow him to go beyond two-bit solutions. I promised that I would test methods to move him outside of the paradigm of two bit solutions, to create tears in the fabric of his paradigm, so he can finally become bigger than he has been, so he can start using the myriads of solutions he has spent his money on, so he can become an expanding human being.
If you would be interested in partaking in this experiment, please let me know by commenting below. You can comment anonymously, by the way. If you are not willing to comment, don't bother to email me, it automatically disqualifies you: you won't be suitable, you are not even two-bit.
- What does No Problem Can Be Solved From The Same Level Of Consciousness That Created It mean… It means that the thinking, the vibration, the consciousness, the attitude that cause the problem in the first place cannot find a solution that is not the next, bigger problem. In a way of a metaphor: if you create i.e. see a problem on the pedestrian level, you cannot solve it on the same level, because you will only see from that level what you saw before. You need to elevate yourself at least to the second floor level of consciousness, so you can see more, more of the picture, not just what you saw before. In my programs, with my activators, many people can move to a higher level of observation, so their problems disappear as a problem, or they can find a solution that will not bite them in the rear end.

Gold bracelets
Pair of identical gold bracelets made in the 1870s and used in Red Wing, Minnesota. The engraved low-relief design features flower and leaf elements. The inside of each bangle is polished smooth. A push of a small button on the side reveals a box clasp set inside the hollow bangle. One bracelet opens on hinges but is constricted by an attatched gold safety chain; the other is missing its safety chain.

Sedona Arizona Vortexes
There are several energy centers, or vortexes of subtle energy, located in the Sedona area. (In Sedona, the energy centers are referred to as vortexes rather than vortices.) The energy from these vortexes saturates the whole area in and around Sedona, and can be noticed in a subtle but general way anywhere around town. If you actually go to one of the vortex sites, which is where the energy is strongest, it can be a very uplifting experience. The energy you take in at one of these energy centers can stay with you and affect you positively for days afterwards.
In addition to being a beautiful and serene place, Sedona has long been known as a spiritual power center. This is because the power that emanates from the vortexes produces some of the most remarkable energy on the planet. This energy is the reason Sedona is full of people that are "on the path", that is, people who have made a commitment to grow and become as much as they can spiritually. It is also the reason that such a large New Age community has sprung up in the Sedona area, bringing with it a variety of spiritual practices and alternative healing modalities, and it is the reason Sedona has sometimes been called a spiritual Disneyland. If you are at all sensitive to the more subtle things, the experience of standing at one of these vortexes, and letting the energy flow into you and through you, can be almost overwhelming. People come from all over the world to experience this.
The vortexes in Sedona are swirling centers of subtle energy coming out from the surface of the earth. The vortex energy is not exactly electricity or magnetism, although it does leave a slight measurable residual magnetism in the places where it is strongest.
There are four main energy vortexes in Sedona. The subtle energy that exists at these locations interacts with who a person is inside. The energy resonates with and strengthens the Inner Being of each person that comes within about a quarter to a half mile of it. This resonance happens because the vortex energy is very similar to the subtle energy operating in the energy centers inside each person. If you are at all a sensitive person, it is easy to feel the energy at these vortexes.
Juniper trees respond to the vortex energy in a physical way that reveals where this energy is strongest. The stronger the energy, the more of an axial twist the Juniper trees have in their branches. Instead of going straight down the branch, the lines of growth follow a slow helical spiral along the length of the branch. This spiraling effect can sometimes even bend the branch itself.
Airport Vortex (Masculine)
From the junction of Hwys 179 and 89A, go 1.1 mile west on 89A and turn left on Airport Rd. Go .5 mile up Airport Rd. to the parking area on the left. Walk up the trail to the saddle between the hills, where the Juniper trees are very twisted. You may also want to walk up to the top of the small hill on the left. From this vantage point you can see most of Sedona. The energy at this vortex strengthens the masculine side.
From the junction of Hwys 179 and 89A, go 1.1 mile west on 89A and turn left on Airport Rd. Go .5 mile up Airport Rd. to the parking area on the left. Walk up the trail to the saddle between the hills, where the Juniper trees are very twisted.
You may also want to walk up to the top of the small hill on the left. From this vantage point you can see most of Sedona as you can see in the picture of Yesenia below. The energy at this vortex strengthens the masculine side.
The Masculine Side can be seen as being on a scale that has strength at the high end and weakness at the low end. People who have a strong masculine side are self-confident. They have the internal strength to take charge of their own lives, and to claim their rights in life. This makes them good at standing up to people who try to take away their rights by force, intimidation or manipulation. Having a strong masculine side means being good at taking risks when appropriate, being decisive when necessary, and being able to focus or concentrate in order to get things done. It also means being good at figuring out how to get out of life what is desired; figuring out how to operate responsibly, and how to reason without distorting reality. Conversely, people who have a weak masculine side often doubt their abilities, and many things intimidate them.
Cathedral Rock Vortex (Feminine)
The Feminine Side can be viewed as being on a scale that has goodness at the high end, and the opposite, which is badness or evil, at the low end. In contrast to the masculine side, which strengthens the ability to stand up for your own rights, the feminine side strengthens the ability to allow others their rights and not interfere with those rights. The energy at this vortex strengthens the things you normally think of as feminine, such as kindness, compassion, patience, and the ability to let others need you and depend on you. And it strengthens the ability to anticipate the impact of your actions before you act, which is what considerateness is all about.
The easiest access to this vortex, driving only on paved road, is to drive 4.3 miles west on 89A from the junction of Hwys 89A and 179, and turn left on Upper Red Rock Loop Rd. Then go 1.8 miles and turn left on Chavez Ranch Rd. Follow the pavement .8 mile and turn left into Crescent Moon Park ($8 fee to enter). Drive as far into the park as possible, then walk to the creek. As you walk east along the creek toward Cathedral Rock, you will feel the energy getting stronger. The strongest energy is where the creek is closest to Cathedral Rock. At this point, the spires of Cathedral Rock are hidden behind the cliffs on the other side of the creek. The energy at this vortex strengthens the feminine side.
This vortex can also be approached from the Village of Oak Creek by driving along Verde Valley School Road to the end, and then walking along the other side of Oak Creek. Also, if you enjoy hiking and climbing, there is a third route that will bring you close enough to this vortex to feel its energy: From Hwy 179, drive in Back-o-Beyond Rd .6 mile to the parking area at the base of Cathedral Rock, and then hike up the creek bed toward the center of Cathedral Rock.
Hiking up the trail is tons of fun and the energy is very strong among the entire, huge, complex, rock formation. There is a twisted Juniper forest when you are close to reaching the top. It's very magical. First we recommend entering through Crescent Moon Park and parking. After that, take off your shoes and walk carefully over the tiny creek that is shown in the picture above. Don't worry, it's not that cold!
After that you can begin your adventure to the top. You start by walking through a forest alognside the creekbed and then it's up, up, UP! This will take you 3-4 hours to accomplish so bring snacks and give yourself enoguh daylight. There are several alternative routes but they all lead to the same place. And the view is better and higher than anywhere else in Sedona. And for you Full Moon enthusiasts, the locals are known to have Full Moon cermonies on top of Cathedral Rock. So enjoy!
Boynton Canyon Vortex
From the junction of Hwys. 179 and 89A, drive 3.2 miles west on 89A and turn right on Dry Creek Rd. Follow the signs for Boynton Canyon (this takes you along Dry Creek Road 2.9 miles to a "T" intersection where you turn left, then another 1.7 miles to another "T" where you turn right, then 0.1 mile to a parking area on the right). If you end up at the entrance to Enchantment Resort, turn around and go back 0.3 mile to the parking area. From the parking area, enter Boynton Canyon Trail. Go 250 yards, then take the left fork to stay on Boynton Canyon Trail. Go another 400 yards to the "Vista Trail" sign. Take the right fork and follow the Vista Trail up the hill. Follow the cairns (red rock trail markers in wire barrels) along this trail, and soon you arrive at a 30 foot high knoll. The energy is strongest around this knoll. Notice the very twisted Juniper trees all around this trail. The energy at this vortex strengthens the masculine/feminine or yin/yang balance.
The Balance between the masculine and feminine side is almost as important as growth itself. Even a less evolved person, if he is balanced, at least treats others the same way he treats himself. And that is what balance is all about. If the masculine side strongly outweighs the feminine, you are too strong for the amount of goodness you have, and you tend to do harm to others because you can be pushy and take unfair advantage of others. On the other hand, if the feminine side greatly outweighs the masculine, you have more goodness than strength, and you tend to let others push you around and take advantage of you. Emotions are a good indication of this balance. If you feel
Bell Rock Vortex
Bell Rock is on Hwy 179, just north of the Village of Oak Creek (5 miles south of the junction of Hwy 89A and 179). Its distinct shape makes it easy to spot, and parking and trails are clearly visible. You will notice that the energy is strong as soon as you get out of your car. You don't have to do any climbing to feel the energy at this vortex. Notice the twisted Juniper trees all over Bell Rock. The energy at this vortex is very powerful and strengthens all three parts: the masculine side, the feminine side, and the balance.
Other Fun Spots...
Devil's Bridge
From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive towards Cottonwood 3 miles. Turn right on to Dry Creek Road. Stay on Dry Creek for 3 miles and turn right on FR 152. Proceed for 1.3 miles to the parking area on your right. FR 152 is some pretty rough terrain. We were fortunate enough to have a SUV with high clearance to get to this point. If you are trying to reach this destination in a coupe, just park at the beginning of the road, and walk it. It is likely you will damage your car in some way. After you finally reach the train you have a short hike up to Devil's Bridge. The hike up is only for about a mile or so and it's pretty easy if you are an avid hiker. If not, it's still not bad. I've say it's about average to the average person. At one point you will have a choice to walk down to the left or up to the right, first choose right and make your way to the trail alongside the bridge.
Once you get a little ways up, you are directly across from the awesomely unique, Devil's Bridge. From that view it is a little intimidating. You need to walk along the path that is parallel to it from where the above picture is taken, and then enter the bridge walkway. The closer you get to it the less intimidating it looks. A frequent rock climber would say that a sheerness of a cliff isn't so bad once you get your face against the rock. Well the same applies to getting your feet underneath Devil's Bridge. Once you're standing there, it's no longer intimidating.
On your way back you can take a right down the path and go underneath Devil's Bridge and get a very different look at this beast. You can walk directly underneath it. See? It's not so scary!

Is community the right word for what happens online?
ABC Open has launched a new direct upload system, which will change the way contributors interact with each other. It got Project co-Director Cath Dwyer thinking – what do we mean by online community?
It seems like everyone wants to build a community. The online world is full of advice about how to create and grow them, and people you can pay to help you get started. There are courses you can take, and a new industry of online gurus with advice and in some cases rules about how to develop and sustain a community.
But is community really the word we're looking for? Is a community something a business or institution can really create?
Since I started at ABC Open nearly three years ago I've noticed the word community being used to mean a lot of different things. It shouldn't have come as a surprise – community is one of those slippery words which has defied a clear definition for a long time. As far back at the 18th century, people were debating its meaning. And long before the PC, the sociologist George Hillery published his 1955 study of the literature about the term community, in which he found there were 94 different definitions of community in circulation at the time. And these definitions had only one thing in common – they all involved people.
More than half a decade later we're still using one word to talk about a lot of different things. We say community when we're talking about anything from a group of people who like a Facebook page, to gamers who've been meeting online (and sometime offline) for years. It can be a community of interest, or a brand community. Or it can be people who interact online, but who actually meet in person, in their local suburb or town.
It's a long way from the "virtual" communities of the early days of the Internet. But even the net guru Howard Rheingold, who first coined the term, now reckons it's not the right way to think about what happens online.
He's part of a group of thinkers who say a better way to think about the behaviour of people online is to think about us all as networked individuals. Rather than belonging to one community, we're all at the centre of our own network of personal relationships and interests. You can be a member of lots of different communities, and your level of involvement in each one will usually change over time. You'll get together when there's a reason to, but not because of tradition or a sense that you should. You won't feel bound to stick around if you don't like what you see and hear. There's no compulsion to join and no penalty if you leave.
This is very different to the way we think about audience loyalty. When we talk about audiences we often talk about attracting specific audiences and trying to hold them.
But when you're asking people to contribute time and energy to a group project like ABC Open, you can't rely on the idea that they'll keep coming back because of a sense of community.
Our contributors are motivated by many different things. Some people want to learn new skills, or build on ones they already have. Some come along just to see what it's all about. Some are dabblers and some are committed. Some are driven by finding an audience for their work, and some just love to see what everyone else is doing. Some want to connect with new people online, and others care more about people they already know. This complexity makes it pretty challenging to define ABC Open's networks of contributors and audience.
I've been keen to hear what others think about this question. Henry Jenkins, who's penned a ripping read about online fan culture, writes about a cultural shift where audiences pool their knowledge to create new narratives. These groups are voluntary, temporary and tactical affiliations. They're more situational than solid.
Clay Shirky is another who says that trying to predict the behaviour of online communities isn't really the best use of your time. But he also says the power of people when they get together in this way is well worth harnessing and can lead to some really exciting outcomes.
I think ABC Open's role is to make getting involved with the ABC easy and worthwhile and to set the groundwork for people to come together in ways that make sense to them.
Making it easy is harder than you might think, but this month we've added a new feature to our site – a direct upload system, so contributors can register with a simple form and upload photos and text to the ABC Open site.
This is quite a change in direction for ABC Open. Up until now we've been more of an aggregator than a community space. We've gathered content through the media sharing platforms, Flickr and Vimeo, to publish to our site and distribute across the ABC. This new upload system is the first step towards creating individual profiles for contributors on our site, which will ultimately lead us to having more "community features" – the ability for contributors to interact more easily with each other.
In planning for this we've had to think hard about why it's worth doing and quite specifically about the role of the ABC as a facilitator of community connections. We've come full circle, from first deciding not to be a platform (because there were other good ones out there), to realising that we can't continue to grow unless that's what we become. Underpinning this is the understanding that the ABC does have a role to play in facilitating a sense of shared identity – it's in our Charter and it's what we've always done.
So there's a lot of work going into how we design a site that allows people to find and communicate with each other easily. But it's just one piece of the puzzle. We'll still use Flickr and Vimeo, we're on Twitter and Facebook, we're experimenting with Instagram and Freesound. What we're interested in isn't just about connecting people with the ABC online, but ultimately about how the ABC can help people create meaningful connections amongst themselves.
We've already seen how this can happen through projects like Aftermath, which followed regional Australians in wake of natural disaster through the recovery process. That project showed that content creation can be a catalyst for some really meaningful connections both on- and offline. It's a project which lives on beyond its online home. Last month an exhibition in Wagga Wagga brought the stories back home for people to experience in a physical gallery space. And the Aftermath site is also being used as a resource for future disaster planning.
It's this blended approach of both on- and offline outcomes which really differentiates ABC Open from other online platforms. This ability for us to have face-to-face interaction with our contributors and audiences is unique, and we're lucky to be able to do it. But more than that, the connections people make with each other is what's most important.
This month we turn 2 and we're just about to crack 20,000 contributions. As we've learnt time and time again, we're in an evolving space, where things move quickly and you need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances.
The challenge is that, like all media outlets, we want to grow our audiences and we want those audiences to stick. But to do that we're going to have to avoid the hype about creating an online community and harness the enthusiasm that we've already seen for ABC Open wherever we find it, to create something meaningful and durable.

BRADENTON, Fla. - Real Salt Lake, Major League Soccer's 12th team, dropped a 5-1 decision to Defending MLS Cup Champion D.C. United today in the expansion club's first-ever preseason scrimmage. Head Coach John Ellinger saw his starting eleven trail 1-0 at halftime before making 10 substitutions at the half. The RSL reserves, comprised of several young expansion and supplemental draft picks as well as non-roster invitees, allowed four second-half goals before 2005 MLS Combine MVP Luke Kreamalmeyer found the back of the net for Real Salt Lake's first "unofficial" goal.
"Results don't matter until April 2," said Ellinger, generally pleased with the opportunity for RSL to foreign opposition after a week of training. "We have a plan, and we know where we need to be in two months. Today was the first step where we wanted our starters to get 45 minutes of game action and test their cohesion and fitness. Their legs feel good, and I didn't see anything that won't be fixed by another week of being on the field together."
Only defender Nelson Akwari played the full 90 minutes for Real Salt Lake, which started DJ Countess in goal, with Brian Dunseth in central defense alongside Akwari. At left back was Matt Behncke, with Rusty Pierce on the right side of the back line. Brian Kamler started at defensive midfield behind Andy Williams, who was flanked by Pablo Brenes on the left and Evan Whitfield on the right. Jason Kreis and Dipsy Selolwane started up top.
"We created chances and had some opportunities," continued Ellinger. "Defensively we need to be better synchronized, improve our communication and cohesion. But it's early, we've only been together one week. The first half was very encouraging, and as we incorporate (U.S. National Team players) Eddie (Pope) and Clint (Mathis) into the chemistry of our team, we still like our chances."
Real Salt Lake invites media, fans and season-ticket holders to attend the organization's World Cup Qualifier Watch Party tomorrow, February 9 at 12:30 p.m. MT at Iggy's Sports Grill (located at 677 South 200 West in Salt Lake City). Televised live from the Queen's Park Oval in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad on ESPN2, RSL icons Clint Mathis and Eddie Pope will represent the United States against potential RSL signee Marlon Rojas and Trinidad in the first step of the final round of the CONCACAF hexagonal's road to FIFA World Cup Germany 2006.
Following today's scrimmage against D.C. United, RSL resumes training tomorrow before Thursday afternoon's scrimmage against Ellinger's former U.S. U-17 squad. Below is the schedule for the week:

Before discussing whether or not Mormons are Christians, it is important to know what a Mormon is. The name itself is probably confusing to people. When my mother, a catholic at the time, was engaged to my father, her parents wrote to her relatives in New Hampshire and told them that she was marrying a Mormon. Her relatives wrote back asking, "What kind of Moron is she marrying?" I think this shows that there are many who have never heard of the religion and still others who do not know who, what, or where a Mormon is. With that in mind let me explain.
The official name of the Mormon Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (heretofore 'the Church'). The term Mormon was actually a nickname spoken of in a derogatory manner by enemies of the Church . Early opponents of the Church took the term from the Book of Mormon and disparagingly used it to refer to anyone who had accepted Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon. Mormon was the ancient prophet who compiled the record which makes up what is now known as The Book of Mormon. Because he is a person of honor to members of the Church, it was a name that they graciously accepted. However, it is important to recognize the Church's true and correct name, for it contains where the devotion of its members is truly directed.
Mormons accept Jesus Christ as the literal Son of God and as their personal Savior and Redeemer. They believe that it is only in and through Him that they can be forgiven of their sins and thereby be worthy to live in the presence of God. He is the one and only way to gain eternal life and without Him there would be no hope of ever receiving such. They also believe that because of Jesus Christ's willingness to lay down His life and then to take it up again, He has broken the bands of death and has thus provided a way for all mankind to be reunited with their bodies at the time of resurrection. This is a gift offered freely to all, rich and poor, black and white, good and evil. In addition, because of the atonement of Jesus Christ, all mankind is offered the opportunity to be forgiven of their sins and thus be worthy of eternal life. This gift is contingent upon one's desire to accept it as witnessed by his willingness to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Redeemer and thus be willing to follow Him and to keep all of His commandments.
Although there are many who claim that Mormons are not Christian, I know that these beliefs, which are the most important doctrine within the Church, clearly show that Mormons are indeed Christian. We do not claim superiority over any other group or people. We are very imperfect human beings who strive to follow Jesus Christ but who consistently fall miserably short. We, nevertheless, press forward with a steadfastness and a hope in Christ believing that He can and will make up for all we cannot do for ourselves.
Please look for a future post on "What is The Book of Mormon?" In the meantime, Remember that 2 Plus 2 Doesn't Always Equal 4 [And please take time to read my original post to understand Why the Title of this Blog? (Feb. 17, 2011)]

A natural rolling motion for a relaxed gait – with the Islay classic lace-up low shoe from BIRKENSTOCK. This sporty and versatile model is made of high-quality, lightly oiled and exceptionally hard-wearing pull-up leather. Subtle contrasting seams accentuate the profile of the rounded, slightly asymmetrical last, which corresponds to the natural form of the foot.
- Removable, anatomically formed cork-latex footbed - made in Germany
- Upper: natural leather
- Lining: soft leather
- Footbed Lining: suede
- Sole: rubber
- Details: eyelets with embossed BIRKENSTOCK logo
Upper: Nubuck
Nubuck leather has a gently buffed surface with no grains. As with velvet, brushing the surface of nubuck leather displaces the fibers and leaves a visible mark. Nubuck leather is very sensitive to moisture and color, and it therefore needs to be waterproofed.
Insole: Real Leather
The flexible leather lining, which is gentle on the skin, nestles up softly against your foot and adjusts to its contour. The open-pored and thus very breathable surface makes for a comfortable foot climate, even during more strenuous physical activity.
Footbed material: Cork
Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning.
Outsole: Rubber
Because of its high elasticity rubber is very well suited for outsoles. Thanks to this property it supports the natural rolling motion of the foot. Rubber is also very robust and has good cushioning.

Beernchips wrote:Eclipse Vaul pattern is really good. Costs less than the standard one and torpedoes are far more effective than 1 bay. The bay one is still good if you think you will face carriers
For starcannons upgrades, I am really mixed because you need 1 upgrade + starcannon range ugrade + 1 special order + evantually the increase special order duration upgrade to be truly effective.
Reload order can be a good choice with Eclipse/VS because it synergize with pulsars/bays/skills but too often you need silent running or brace for impact for surviving your attack run
First Part: option to get a skill to produce fighters so you don't need a bay in the first place.
Second Part: I would combine it with the harden front armor skill if I'm using the star cannon fire rate upgrade in addition to range upgrade and special order duration which make 3 upgrades off the bat.

AMC has released the first The Walking Dead Season 8 trailer, offering an early look at the new season ahead. And boy, does it look tense and action-packed. The first part with Negan is extremely annoying, but when is anything relating to him not? The extended trailer debuted today at San Diego Comic-Con, and shows all of the forces marshaling together against Negan and the Saviors, including Alexandria, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom. With that, it looks like we'll finally be seeing the characters spending time together again, instead of being scattered to the wind like last season.
Also, this season looks like it's full of walkers, which honestly, has felt like something it's been very much missing of late. As the primary threat to our heroes has shifted from the undead to the living (the really, really shitty living), the walkers have sort of been left behind. But the new trailer offered up some pretty sweet shots of increasingly decayed zombies that remain a major problem.
Check out the trailer below:
The biggest question coming out of this trailer though is … what the frak was going on in the end? Was that a teaser for Season 35 of The Walking Dead, when Rick is an old man in a nursing home in a society that has been restored? What's with the cane and the flowers? What is with … any of this. And if it turns out that it's all a dream that Rick created while he was in a coma for decades, well, set everything on fire.
We'll have more from the panel and about the upcoming season soon; and as a reminder, The Walking Dead Season 8 premieres on October 22nd on AMC.

Absorption coefficients of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were measured together with salinity, δ18O, and inorganic nutrients across the Fram Strait. A pronounced CDOM absorption maximum between 30 and 120 m depth was associated with river and sea ice brine enriched water, characteristic of the Arctic mixed layer and upper halocline waters in the East Greenland Current (EGC). The lowest CDOM concentrations were found in the Atlantic inflow. We show that the salinity-CDOM relationship is not suitable for evaluating conservative mixing of CDOM. The strong correlation between meteoric water and CDOM is indicative of the riverine/terrigenous origin of CDOM in the EGC. Based on CDOM absorption in Polar Water and comparison with an Arctic river discharge weighted mean, we estimate that a 49–59% integrated loss of CDOM absorption across 250–600 nm has occurred. A preferential removal of absorption at longer wavelengths reflects the loss of high molecular weight material. In contrast, CDOM fluxes through the Fram Strait using September velocity fields from a high-resolution ocean–sea ice model indicate that the net southward transport of terrigenous CDOM through the Fram Strait equals up to 50% of the total riverine CDOM input; this suggests that the Fram Strait export is a major sink of CDOM. These contrasting results indicate that we have to constrain the (C)DOM budgets for the Arctic Ocean much better and examine uncertainties related to using tracers to assess conservative mixing in polar waters

Spring colours
(Top L-R: Helium, Pinked)
(Bottom L-R: Nymphet, Toxic Garden)
First I used an eyeshadow primer (it was eiter Urban Decay or Smashbox).
Toxic Garden on inner 1/2 of lid
Pinked on outer 1/2 of lid
Helium in centre of lid to blend the above two colours
Nymphet as a liner on the lower lash line (outer 1/2 only)
Face makeup used: Lunasol Water Cream foundation, some concealer, Everyday Minerals Soft Touch blush and MAC Emote to contour.
Lip gloss used was The Body Shop Love gloss in Shade 13 from my previous post.
Also used Marcelle Volume Precision Mascara over Shiseido Lash Base, and a mix of Kate liquid liner and a Gosh liner pencil.
Its not a dramatic look, but more wearable, because I was going out shopping after and did not want to over do it :P The colours definitely put me in the mood for spring though!

DAVID MOYES believes Everton could not be going to Leicester at a worse time.
Saturday's Premiership game will be the first match at the Walker's Stadium since the arrests in La Manga two weeks ago which have rocked football.
The Goodison chief has warned his players to expect a backlash on the pitch from Micky Adams' under-pressure squad.
He said: "I think it will be a tougher trip than maybe it would have been a few weeks ago.
"When you feel that everybody is against you, you stand stronger together and I'm sure they will be using what has happened to fire them up.
"That was the case last week at Birmingham and this is the first game at Leicester since the allegations in Spain."
The Blues go into the game unbeaten in their last three outings and the manager is determined to extend that run to steer clear of the relegation zone.
He added: "We need to keep daylight between us and Leicester and so it is important to avoid defeat.
"We are in a decent run right now and want to stay unbeaten for as long as possible, although obviously we would like all three points."
Duncan Ferguson could yet be involved on Saturday after making good progress in his recovery from a minor hamstring injury picked up last weekend.
Meanwhile, Moyes has rubbished reports linking him with a summer move for Millwall midfielder Tim Cahill.
He said: "I'm not interested in him."

The Universal Laws of Energy and Change: Part 1
The Universal Laws of Energy and Change: Part 1 by Jan Engels-Smith
Change occurs when energy shifts. In order to understand change, one needs to understand the dynamics of energy. Everything emanates energy—animate beings, physical objects, even thoughts and feelings—and these energy "fields" impact and alter all that they touch. If we are to have control over the changes in our lives, we must also understand the importance of thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and feelings as energy. Only when we understand and can apply these basic Universal Laws of energy and change will we be able to consciously affect the change process:
1. Energy follows intention.
2. Whatever you add energy to multiplies.
3. Thought followed by word and action equals form.
4. What you believe becomes.
These laws apply to all of life and are fundamental in understanding how to work with energy in order to create. Healing, both of self and others, is possible by developing skills in working with these laws. Enlightenment requires this understanding.
People with spiritual power have learned how to work with energy by following the guidelines of these laws. They can direct energy with intention and trust that the desired outcome will materialize. They are not victims of other people or situations because they know how energy works and they apply this knowledge to their lives. The following explanations address each of these laws separately; however, they are practiced as a unit of truths. A holistic approach is an absolute necessity.
Here are the first two explanations written out separately; however, they are practiced as a unit of truths. A holistic approach is an absolute necessity.
1. Energy follows intention.
What is intention? It is simply what you intend to happen. If your intention is followed with an action that supports your intention, you will experience quick results. You will also feel good and harmonious in the process. It is as if all energy flows in the same direction. For example, let's say that your intention is to work on your marriage by being more attentive to your partner. If your action is to start a productive conversation, give a foot rub, or make a phone call during the day, the desired outcome of improving your marriage has a high probability of occurring. If your intention is to improve your marriage, but you do extremely inconsiderate things to your partner, the energy of your action is in opposition to your intention. This opposite flow of energies will cause much friction, anxiety, and stress.
Conflicting energy signals will cause frustration, stress, and anxiety. Opposite directional forces between intention and action remind me of the opposite motions of the earth's plates at the San Andreas fault line. As the plates move against each other, they create tremendous stress and ultimately result in an earthquake. Just as the spirits always tell me, "Learn from nature!"
You can use this energy illustration as a mental cue for anything that you are attempting to change in your life. Write down your intention and then look at the actions that you follow it with. Are they flowing together or in opposite directions? Many people give lip service to wanting to create change or healing in their lives, but their actions don't match their intention. They often become frustrated with the process of change, feeling like they have failed again, when in truth their actions are not aligned with their intentions. Either the action needs to change or the intention needs to change. Each one can correct either variable and obtain positive results.
2. Whatever you add energy to multiplies.
This is a literal statement. It is both a physical law, as well as a universal law, which basically explains how we create. Creator has given you free will, or sacred choice. This means that you freely choose what you think, say, or write, and how you behave in any given situation. You co-create your existence—literally—by your own thoughts, words, and actions. You think thousands of thoughts per second, all of them energy with the potential to create an actual physical manifestation. Whatever gets the most energy—wins. So what are you thinking all day? Where are you multiplying energy? These are hard questions. Are you dwelling in the past, giving wrong deeds or past hurts the energy to constantly recreate their pain? Are you angry or self-loathing, causing unfortunate situations to keep recurring in your life? Are you thinking about your victimization and then finding yourself a victim once again? The Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset, wrote "Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not a sum of what we have been but what we yearn to be." It is important to understand our past, but not to dwell on it. We create ourselves by our intentions and the actions following those intentions. We create our future. We make a choice to see positive possibilities or to dwell in the negative.
A Chinese poem states:
If the water of the Tsanglang is clear,
I will wash the ribbon of my hat.
If it is dirty, I will wash my feet in it.
If you choose to see positive results, you will begin the process of creating a positive future. You will literally co-create your life situations. The reverse is also true. If you dwell on the negative about a situation and are worrying about it, talking about it negatively, and being the victim of it, you will add negative energy to it. Energy is the fuel for creation, but there is a human choice as to where it will be applied.
- Whatever You Add Energy to Multiplies, Negative or Positive.
- Where are you placing the most energy? Which side is multiplying?
- Think of this energy as a cloud, a physical mist of energy that is surrounding you.
- Every thought counts; you are feeding one side or the other.
Next time, I'll share the other two Universal Laws of energy:

(I wrote this during the workshop a few weeks ago, and just realized that I never actually hit "publish." Better late then never, I guess!)
Every year in the fall, all the folks in southern California interested in the intersection of economics and engineering/computer science get together and have a two-day workshop that we call NEGT for "Network Economics and Game Theory." Hosting duties rotate between USC, UCLA, and Caltech, and this year it was our job. The workshop is just wrapping up and, thanks to our amazing admin Sydney Garstang, everything went wonderfully!
There were lots of great talks, and the slides will eventually start to show up here. Of the many highlights, our two external speakers both gave really great talks. Our first keynote, Tim Roughgarden, gave a great overview of recent results in the area of approximate mechanism design. This is a direction that many folks in the Algorithmic Game Theory community have been pushing on in a while, but Tim showed some very interesting new results. Plus, it is always interesting to see how economists react to this direction, which is very different than the traditional viewpoint. Our second keynote, Markus Mobius, gave a really interesting empirical take on the power of social learning. He showed results from an experiment involving Harvard undergraduates performing a task that required social learning and was able to test various conjectures for how such learning occurs (as well as the magnitude of social learning that occurs). Given the huge focus in CS on models where we learn from our friends, it was quite interesting to see that the magnitude of such social learning is actually pretty small, and seems to occur only in vary specific ways.

Gravity. Most of us can't escape it. It ties us to Earth. It makes our world somewhat predictable. It keeps our feet on the ground. And it is this fact that we've tried to exploit in our quest to create a system to support two of the goals of ubiquitous computing: identifying and locating a person. A person is in contact with the floor most of the time. Why not make the floor "smart" and use it to identify and track people?
In ubiquitous computing, designers have tried to support mobile and collaborative activities by creating systems that use innovative hardware devices and that use a person's context. A person's context may include location, identity, current activity, emotional state, the context of those around him, and the history of these pieces of information. In the Smart Floor project, we are attempting to provide a reliable mechanism to identify a person and track her location. In addition, we are exploring innovative applications of this technology, including uses in the home, art and performance applications, and entertainment.
The Smart Floor aims to identify and track a user around an instrumented space. To do this, we have instrumented a floor with force measuring load cells. Each floor tile lays on four load cells (one at each corner), and each load cell has four tile corners resting on it. The load cells measure the force of the user's foot (ground reaction force, GRF) as the user walks over the floor tiles. We then train a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) system using these footfall force signatures. The HMM system can be trained with a number of users' footfall signatures. When a user then walks over the floor, the system attempts to match the user's footfall signature with the trained library of signatures. For a small group of users (on the order of twenty), the correct identity can be established with better than 90% accuracy.
Once we know who a user is, tracking her is the next step. We are exploring various signal processing techniques to track single users around a space, and to extend this to track multiple people in the instrumented space.
We are currently developing a single-user, small-scale version of the Smart Floor. Our continuing efforts to extend the system have two major components:
There are also a number of scientific questions that we are attempting to answer:

Jesus was Jewish, and as an adult Jewish male, he would have been able to read from the Torah in Hebrew, and would also have known how to write in Hebrew. It is likely that he would have been able to read and write in Aramaic, also.
I think you need to rethink your statement that he was not literate.
Thanks very much, Sue, for putting up high the book notice here–I really didn't expect it and it's a pleasant surprise. Those who just want a sampling of the book's ideas can visit its own website, http://www.radicalchristbyraymondllorca.com.
Regarding the above comments about Jesus, the book itself does not argue whether Jesus was historical or literate, but simply that his ideas and approach were literary (poetic) and, as such, astonishingly logical and consistent and therefore credible, even as they were presented in the format of the Bible itself as literature. That's why "Radical Christ" is really a "Biblical Criticism" (like literary, thus also philosophical criticism).
Warm regards!
I have read your note about the Sacred G Meditation (Cory Herter) and I would like very much to know more about it. The problem is that I can´t find more of it in the Internet and wonder if you can help me.
Best wishes
from Lis in Sweden
I will just tell that right after I had written out my question how to find the Sacred G Breath/meditation I found it myself, very easy!!!
And very strange – and if anybody is curious here is the adress:
I was wondering if you accept guest post for your blog. If you do, I would like to submit a few. I'm a recent college graduate, with an English major, looking to build out my portfolio. I can write on a wide variety of topics and am sure you would be happy with the quality. Please email me back if you are interested. Thank you for your time.

Lokāyata: Journal of Positive Philosophy
Lokāyata: Journal of Positive Philosophy is a bi-annual interdisciplinary journal of the Center for Positive Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies (CPPIS). The name Lokāyata can be traced to Kautilya's Arthashastra, which refers to three ānvīkṣikīs (logical philosophies), Yoga, Samkhya and Lokāyata.

The objectives of the journal are to encourage new thinking on concepts and theoretical frameworks in the disciplines of humanities and social sciences to disseminate such new ideas and research papers (with strong emphasis on modern implications of philosophy) which have broad relevance in society in general and man's life in particular. The Centre will publish two issues of the journal every year. Each regular issue of the journal will contain full-length papers, discussions and comments, book reviews, information on new books and other relevant academic information. Each issue will contain about 100 Pages.

Uncompromising, tried and tested laser technology
As a manufacturer of machines for the sheet metal working industry, AMADA is setting the pace with its innovative fiber laser technology. At the same time it is constantly improving machines equipped with conventional CO2 laser technology to deliver new benefits in productivity. The most recent stage in development can be seen in the punch-laser combination machine ACIES-2515 T.
In many cases, the mass production of identical sheet metal parts has been relocated to "low-wage" countries. At the same time, many fabricators in the Western industrialized nations are focusing increasingly on production tasks that require in-depth technological expertise and the use of highly innovative machine technologies. This is the segment addressed by AMADA's punch-laser combination systems. The top end of this product range consists of the ACIES punch laser combination systems which are equipped with a CO2 laser. This conventional laser technology has proved its value over many years thanks to its outstanding cutting quality. Together with the innovative fiber laser machines, the conventional laser systems help form a harmonious, wide-ranging portfolio which ensures that AMADA always gives users the solution that is best suited to the challenges they face – with no compromises!
Tool changing system to suit every need
Sheet metal working companies have for some time been confronted with a further imperative: A very high level of automation is often necessary in order to ensure economic production. At EuroBLECH 2012, AMADA will be demonstrating the ACIES-2515 T, a production cell that perfectly fulfills these two requirements – flexibility during the manufacturing process coupled with a high level of automation. One outstanding feature of the new punch-laser combination is the interfacing with an external tool changer which will meet every need. This permits the almost totally unattended manufacture of even complex components with frequently changing job specifications and small run sizes. The TSU tool changing system can be loaded with up to several hundred punching tools.
Intelligent tool system avoids errors
Thanks to the highly flexible tool changing system in combination with the extremely versatile laser machining capabilities, it is now extremely rare to be confronted with any production tasks that demand time-consuming machine tooling operations. To permit the efficient management of extensive tool configurations, AMADA has developed its Tool ID System. The intelligent thing about this system is that it always "knows" the status of all the tools in terms of size, shape, angle and stroke rate. This eliminates errors during setup.

Just One More
Tomorrow we take my dad and Marti's sister Gail to the Springfield/Branson Airport for their flights home and then we'll remain here a couple of days to recover before we head out to our next destination and adventure.
I guess we handle fun here in Branson like we drive, lots of shows like driving lots of miles. We have to call it "BSD" (Branson Show Disorder). Even though we're retired and could have taken a more leisurely visit here, because of our guests who both still work, we had to return to our old ways of cramming in so much in limited vacation time.
Still, it was worth every minute. Branson is a great place to visit. Plus it has given me a great idea, we could buy a house here and open a business: Refurbishing fiddle and violin bows. Just about every show here has fiddles and violins in it and they all burn up their bows playing the "Orange Blossom Special" faster than anyone else. This business could make us a fortune! ;c)
I'll do a wrap up of the shows we've seen and our recommendations in case anyone gets down this way. Some were so good, even though we've seen them before, we'd see them again. One or two, well, we won't darken their doors again. Stay tuned.
Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.

Another retirement disorder you've developed and now you want to open a business fixing bows, I guess that would be BBD (broken bow disorder), just another disorder to deal with.ReplyDelete
We think y'all should head on over to northwest Arkansas. We just happen to be parked in a lovely COE park there!! Enjoy your rest!!!ReplyDelete
I think you need to sit outside and relax! :)ReplyDelete
Boy I sure started something here with my PDD :-)). Be careful how disorderEd you get now.ReplyDelete
His son is retired but your dad still works?? How old did you say he was?????Replies
My dad will be 91 December 2nd. He works part time and does a lot more volunteer hours beyond the requirements of the job. He has a hard time sitting still. Hits the gym four or five days a week. He's proud of the fact that he weighs only four pounds more than when he was drafted into the Army Air Corps during WWII.Delete
Boy. That's amazing!! You've got some great genes there.Delete
One of our trips to Branson was during the Christmas programs. Won't ever do that again. I was so sick of Christmas carols (the same ones over and over and over again by the different artists) until I just wanted to cry. However! If you get a chance to see the Rockettes Christmas Show - it is fantastic. I am really looking forward to your reviews cause Branson is on our list to get to in the not too distant future.ReplyDelete
Nothing better than a little fiddle music.ReplyDelete
Not so sure I'd want to live in Branson. However, the better job for you might be to just relax a little now that you're not entertaining.ReplyDelete
It's Contagious! Marti has been with you soooo long now she has PDD as well just a mutated version! LOL. Be Safe and Enjoy!ReplyDelete
It's about time.
I was wondering the same thing about your dad that Sherry mentioned. That's incredible that he hits the gym 4-5 times a week!! More power to him!!ReplyDelete
Your Dad sounds amazing!! Good for him.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to your wrap up. It sounds like you went to every show in town.ReplyDelete
