Joel Spolsky is a famous blogger in the software world. He's an ex-Microsoft employee who worked in the Excel team, is the Co-Founder of Fog Creek, a software company with a great culture and successful products like Trello, FofBugz, Copilot, CityDesk… By the way, the Fog Creek culture is really simple and is summarized like this:
Best Working Conditions -> Best Programmers -> Best Software -> Profit
It's really funny (Life is to too short, we have to laugh and smile), how some managers still don't understand this and make the programmers job really painful. Wake up! Wake up! managers.
Joel started writing articles in 2000 and has influenced the way of thinking of many people around the globe. Although, he's not very active today, he has written really great articles about Software Development, Programming, Design, Startups, Recruiting and Interviews.
If you are a Software Developer, CEO, Team Leader, Product Manager, Startup founder, CS student or just work in the Software Industry, I think you will find these articles really interesting.
You can find all those articles in his blog or you can buy the two books with his writings in Amazon. I really enjoy reading in a tablet too. So, instead of buying the two books, I downloaded the Joel on Software Android app, created by the software company Digicorp. You can use the app, even without an Internet connection. Thanks guys!.
These are my favorite articles, in no particular order:
- The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code.
- Two Stories.
- Painless Bug Tracking.
- Craftsmanship.
- A Field Guide to Developers.
- Finding great developers.
- Fire and Motion.
- The Guerrilla guide to interviewing v_3.0.
- Getting Things Done When You're Only a Grunt.
- The Command and Control Management Method.
- Top Five (Wrong) Reasons You Don't Have Testers.
- The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!).
Go and read, buy or download the Joel on Software stuff, it's worth reading.

Para To Speak At Antioch ChurchPublished: February 17, 2014
Reaching out to the local African-American community, CSULB Interim President Donald J. Para will speak at Antioch Church in Long Beach on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 10:30 a.m. as part of the California State University's (CSU) Super Sunday, an initiative designed to inform young African Americans about the value of higher education and encourage them to pursue it.
Para is joining CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White, CSU trustees, other campus presidents, alumni and students who together will speak to nearly 100,000 youth and their families at a total of 113 churches throughout the state during the month of February.
"Encouraging African-American men and women to obtain a college degree is an important issue that requires collaboration between parents, teachers and religious and civic leaders," Para pointed out. "Building those relationships is what Super Sunday is all about."
Para noted that CSULB has been recognized nationally for improving the graduation rates of its African-American students. In 2004, the campus' six-year graduation rate for African-American students was 38.1 percent, but by 2010, the rate improved to 50.7 percent, a 12.6 percent increase.
"Although more African-American students are succeeding in college, we can do better, and we have to," he added. "By 2018, about 60 percent of all California jobs will require a college degree, and we want to make sure that each year more African-American students graduate from college and are able to compete for these jobs."
Launched in 2005, CSU Super Sunday is an annual event where leaders throughout the 23 CSU campuses work together in a united effort to give underrepresented students the tools needed to successfully enter college. To date, almost 500,000 churchgoers have received information about financial aid, been introduced to the 23 CSU campuses and learned how to achieve academic success at the university.
"We are committed to bolstering the number of pathways to a university education for traditionally underrepresented students and producing highly-skilled graduates that will help meet the nation's changing workforce needs," said White. "Higher education changes the trajectory of life and by working with our partners throughout the state during Super Sunday, we can ensure that students are ready to enroll and succeed in college."
While President Para is in Long Beach on Sunday, White will take the pulpit during the 10:30 a.m. service at Trinity Baptist Church in Los Angeles.
After services at each of the churches, parents and students have the opportunity to engage with CSU representatives, obtain posters on "How to Get to College" and learn how to navigate CSUMentor.edu—a website that helps students explore campuses, majors and apply to the CSU.
Super Sunday is produced by the CSU African-American Initiative—a partnership between CSU campuses and African-American religious leaders with the goal of increasing college going rates among African-American students. Over the years, CSU Super Sunday has grown in both size—it started with 11 churches—as well as impact on students.
For more information about the list of participating churches, times of service and locations, go to the CSU Super Sunday website.

Congratulations to Senior Property Manager Lisa Mitchell and her team! 355 Alhambra (Coral Gables) has been named a finalist for the Most Outstanding LEED EB:OM (Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance) Project Award.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) South Florida Chapter has announced the Finalist Nominees for the nonprofit organization's upcoming GalaVerde, its 2015 LEEDership and Green Awards Program.
GalaVerde awards finalists (as well as eventual winners) were selected by a panel of industry experts from around the country. Submissions were sent to the judges "blind," without any identification of project or team or LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) achievement. Submissions were judged purely on specific criteria and merits.
With Weston-based The Spinnaker Group as Title Sponsor, the sixth annual GalaVerde will recognize and honor those outstanding projects, inspirational businesses, dedicated individuals, and instrumental Chapter members who are leading the way to a more sustainably built environment in our South Florida community. More than 350 attendees are expected at the awards ceremony on September 19, 2015, at the Hyatt Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where the winners will be announced. The evening will raise funds to support the nonprofit organization's educational activities and initiatives.
GalaVerde 2015 will include a VIP reception, pre- and post-event cocktail hours, dinner, a silent auction, superlative networking (we call it "GREENworking"), and an abundance of anticipation for the awards presentations and keynote address.
Rick Fedrizzi, CEO and Founding Chair of the U.S. Green Building Council, will serve as the special keynote speaker for the evening. Tim Center, Executive Director of Sustainable Florida and principal of Centerfield Strategy, will serve as master of ceremonies. Fedrizzi and Center will highlight an evening of recognition and appreciation for the South Florida green-building community during which the Chapter will recognize this past year's Outstanding Community LEEDer, Green Business, Green Government, Green Elected Official, and Outstanding LEED Certified projects in South Florida.

Wiring, Way Switch Guitar Best 5, Guitar Switch Wiring Diagram Diagrams Schematics Best Of For Galleries
Related photos in this project:
Other recommended ideas:
Wiring, Way Switch Guitar - I also wanted four-conductor humbuckers. Those are the types of pickups that have 4 wires coming off of them (and a bare twine). It won't work with the vintage two-conductor range. I wished one pickup to be reverse wound/reverse polarity, so the splits might be correct, and there wouldn't be any segment issues. For extra info on polarity and phase, take a look at out this newsletter.
My ibanez artwork is constant up with dimarzios and push pull pots for the equal configuration. It is not as easy to apply and i might be installing micro switches as in keeping with the conventional artist.
I observed that on the left backside the diagram said the bridge humbucker must be rw/rp. Now if i get the matching neck humbucker for my bridge will the neck be rw/rp or are the bridge pups wired that way when compared to the neck puppy or are they that manner in a set? As i bought my domestic dogs in my opinion not as a hard and fast will i want to request the rw/rp on the new domestic dog?. This was very beneficial to examine, thank you! I've been trying to wire up a pegasus humbucker in my stratocaster that has a extremely good transfer. I'm searching on the present day humbucker that a friend established years in the past and it positive looks like it become set up incorrectly given wherein the colors are soldered. It almost looks as if it is stressed to simplest use the bottom coil inside the humbucker. I truly examined touching a screwdriver to the bottom coil and pinnacle coil of the hum bucker while the transfer is toggled down and at the same time as i am getting a bit noise from the top coil the lowest coil is way louder. The guitar is in hss layout with a five-way excellent transfer, and i can not for the lifestyles me find a diagram for that configuration (at the seymour duncan web page or elsewhere). If everyone has any information i'd genuinely appreciate it. Thank you!.

Nebraska has big decisions to make about its energy future. With a long list of environmental regulations, both forthcoming and currently in place, the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) needs to decide between continued, expensive updates to an increasingly inefficient and polluting coal plant in order to protect Nebraskans from harmful coal byproducts, or investment in communities and clean, sustainable energy options. The duty NPPD has to comply with EPA regulations and keep our air and water safe and clean is one of many reasons for NPPD to stop burning coal at the Sheldon Station Power Plant in Hallam, and to increase its investment in money-saving energy efficiency and renewable energy. Nebraska cannot afford to miss this opportunity to invest in the present and future of Nebraska communities.
Please contact the NPPD board member representing you and urge them to use less coal. Click here to find your NPPD representative and their contact information.
Here are just three reasons why NPPD could and should retire coal at Sheldon Station:
1) We Have Sound Investment Alternatives to Coal
NPPD will spend up to $226 million in capital costs alone, for necessary retrofitting at Sheldon Station, and will accumulate up to $1.3 billion in losses on the power plant by 2042. Investing those hard-earned ratepayer dollars in projects that benefit Nebraskans and their communities simply makes more financial sense.
2) Clean, Homegrown Energy Resources Are Abundant
Nebraska is rich with wind. We have the 4th largest potential for wind development and we should do more than just fly kites. Nebraska's wind potential vastly exceeds its current electrical needs.
3) Practically speaking, Conservation is King
Nebraskans are practical. Yet, everyday we are consuming more energy than we need to. In addition to saving money and reducing our energy needs, every dollar spent on energy efficiency improvements creates up to four dollars in local economic benefits. Keeping main street strong requires us to use energy far more efficiently.

The I, Geek Team will, from time to time, venture out of the Geek Cave, hiss at the light a bit, and make our way to some of the local events. Below is a list of upcoming events we will be attending and possibly reporting back on.
BGG.Con – November 15-19 2017
- The entire I, Geek team will be in attendance once again. As with last year, we have some plans in place to both podcast live at the event and possibly get interviews with some of the designers and publishers.
- Look forward to some upcoming video interviews on our YouTube Channel.
- We've been in attendance now for the past 7+ years and this has become and shall remain an annual pilgrimage.
- Want to know what to expect at BGG.Con? We have a podcast for that. Check it out here.
BGG.Con Spring – May 25-28 2018
- With this year's Fall Board Game Geek Convention being a roaring success for BGG and the continued growth of the hobby seeing attendance rise everywhere for conventions all over the world, it's nice to be involved in a convention that seems to be on the smaller side.
- Last year was our first time to truly attend the Spring Con as I, Geek the media group rather then just some friends hanging out. We had a blast during this relaxing convention and spoke highly of its merits on our shows. It'll be business as usual once again as we'll be in attendance this coming May.
- If you are planning on attending and wish to get a game in with us, feel free to contact us here through our contact info. If you have a game you'd like to play test or a preview copy of a game we could take with us, this would be the perfect time to bring it up.
Share and Enjoy

Podcasts are definitely having a moment. It seems like all of a sudden, the whole world and his dog has a podcast (which is actually pretty good and worth a listen), but with such an abundance, it's kind of hard to know which are worth your time, and which ones no one should ever have to suffer through. I have been an avid listener of podcasts for many years, the first one I listened to being The Scott Mills Daily by BBC Radio 1. Now though, the podcasts I subscribe to vary from dad porn being read aloud by the author's son, to conversations with serious authors and scientists. I listen to them constantly. When I'm getting ready in the mornings, travelling about and when I'm having trouble sleeping; there's a podcast for every occasion. My friends and I are always recommending new podcasts for each other to listen to, which gave me the idea to compile this list so that our recommendations can be shared and maybe even have a few recommended to us as well!
So, whether you are a podcast fanatic like myself, or a podcast virgin, hopefully there'll be one in this list that will take your fancy and help you to survive the journey home for Christmas.
My Dad Wrote A Porno. Massive thank you to my friend Imogen for blessing me with this incredible podcast! MDWAP is hosted by Jamie, who, after discovering his dad had written a porn book called Belinda Blinked, decided to read it out chapter by chapter to his two friends James and Alice. The story is about Belinda Blumenthal, an international sales director for Steels Pots and Pans, who uses her womanly ways to get to the top of the business. I have lost count of the times I have cried laughing to this podcast and with three series to catch up on, if badly written dad porn is your thing, then this is the one for you (and if it's not, then you should listen anyway).
No Such Thing As A Fish. Made by the QI elves, (i.e. the guys who make the BBC programme QI), each week, the 4 hosts share their favourite facts. Some of my favourites over the years include Tutankhamen being mummified with an erection, a pope-mobile being for hire for stag parties and Ireland and the growing Tibetan butter sculpting crisis. It's actually a really funny listen, and my head is now filled with all sorts of facts that have definitely helped me with a pub quiz or two.
The High Low. My bestie Becca, introduced me to the High Low about a month ago and since then, I have listened to at least half of the back catalogue. Hosted by Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton, It's a weekly pop culture and news based show, discussing all the big issues ranging from important topics like the Harvey Wienstien Hollywood scandal to the more lowbrow, like Kim Kardashian's surrogacy plans or Taylor Swift's latest diss track. In addition,Pandora and Dolly also discus books, TV shows, movies, and articles they have read and loved over the last few weeks, a lot of which I have then gone on to read/view. I love the intellectual discussion afforded to each topic discussed and each episode always leaves me feeling more aware of not only whats going on around me, but myself and how I think and feel about things happening in the world.
Getting Curious. Fans of Queer Eye on Netflix, you NEED this podcast in your life! It's hosted by the one, the only, Jonathan Van Ness (the grooming guy) and it is possibly one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to! Every week, Jonathan sits down with an expert on something that he is curious about for a 30 minute conversation. Topics range from what's going on in the Middle East, has Britain screwed itself with Brexit, and how we can be less rude to bees. He's even started doing episodes with his fellow Queer Eye stars, allowing us to find out more about their lives and basque in their adoration for one another. A little warning though – Jonathan is a bit intense and loud at times and it took me a while to get used to it. Now though, I am obsessed. I just have to make sure I have the volume turned down on my headphones!
Conversations. Ok, stick with me for this one. I first heard Conversations whilst working away on a farm in the Australian outback to get my second year visa. It is a radio show on ABC hosted by Richard Fidler, who has an in depth, hour long conversation with some interesting people, ranging from authors writing books based on Irish folklore, to scientists studying humpback whales, to a priest who has fought to overturn 'gay panic' laws. When I finished my farm work, I subscribed to the podcast which comes out daily after the radio show airs. Whilst not all of the episodes are of interest to me (sorry to the guy who's studied the history of libraries, I'm sure you really nice), most are fascinating. Some of my recent favourites have been about the impact of China's 'One Child' policy, and a woman's fight against the female driving ban in Saudi Arabia.
Radio 1. I'm putting two podcasts together here: The Scott Mills Daily and Greg James – That's What He Said, reason being that these are podcasts of two Radio 1 afternoon shows, both of which I love so much. I listened to these religiously whilst living in Australia as they helped me feel a little less homesick and like I was still in the loop with what was going on in the UK. Both are so so funny and always keep me entertained!
The Worst Idea Of All Time. My friend Georgie told me about this one over lunch on a recent shopping trip. Two New Zealand comedians watch and review the same film every week for an entire year. In the season I'm currently listening to, the guys are watching Sex and the City 2, having never seen the first film and hardly any of the tv show. It's safe to say they absolutely hate it and are slowly going mad, which makes for an excellent podcast!
What podcasts do you love? Let me know!

For business leaders to stay on top of their respective markets, they need to develop agility. This quality can come from adopting new technologies. When business leaders pay attention to changes in technology, they can shape the market rather than simply react to changes in it.
Of course, not every new technology applies to all markets in the business world. However, applying new technologies in exciting, innovative ways can help companies stand out from the competition and gain loyal customer followings.
Some of the newest and most important technological trends that business leaders may want to adopt to strengthen their businesses include:
1. Artificial Intelligence
In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has moved from the world of science fiction to reality, and its place in the business world will only continue to grow. Already, a number of companies have used AI to perform repetitive jobs, thereby freeing the workforce to focus on more creative roles.
Some have feared that AI will replace jobs. However, recent research has shown that for each four positions replaced by automation, a position in automation management is created. Today, AI, including natural language processing, is widely available. Additionally, AI is easily applied to the business world since expertise is not usually necessary to make full use of the technology.
Some commercial applications already available include digital personal assistants that translate speech in real time and analyze sentiment; machine learning that generates hyper-targeted ads or predicts credit card fraud; and vision systems for security or emotion detection.
2. Internet of Things
Already, the number of devices connected to the Internet has risen to more than 10 billion. This number is expected to increase five-fold in the next couple of years because of the Internet of Things (IoT). A number of different products utilize sensors and other technologies to make use of connectivity options.
In the business world, this could translate to more accurate asset tracking and fleet management, especially as the price of sensors continues to decrease. While many leaders are thinking about how IoT can improve operations through real-time tracking, opportunities for IoT also exist in offering products that use network connectivity to provide customized services.
The key to making this technology work is to ensure that it offers real value to consumers rather than providing frivolous information or unnecessary services. Business leaders who want to enter this space can forge partnerships with IoT providers to make the most of the technology.
3. Cyber Security
Leaders will find that cyber security is becoming more important to consumers, especially with the major breaches that took place at Equifax and Anthem. If these large organizations are at risk, consumers have to become more vigilant about whom they trust with their data.
Implementing solutions like multi-factor authentication and risk-based authentication, which works in the background to assess likelihood of attack, makes customers feel more at ease. These practices also help business leaders assure their own employees that the organization is secure.
Both AI and machine learning have been under development as a means of improving security by automating some of the more labor-intensive aspects of threat detection. Business leaders who demonstrate their concern in these areas generate a lot of trust with employees and clients alike.
4. Cocreation
One of the most exciting developments in technology that business leaders need to know about is cocreation. While not a technological development in itself, cocreation has been made possible by the increasing connectivity of the world.
The idea behind cocreation is that third-party experts, employees, or even customers provide their own suggestions, guidance, and insight to fuel innovation. In a sense, cocreation is like outsourcing innovation, but in a way that gets people more involved with the company and its products while potentially reducing costs.
An ultimate example of this sort of collaboration is the Linux operation system, which was developed online by a network of different professionals. Today, companies can make physical goods in a similar way.
Cocreation looks different across companies, and business leaders need to think about how it aligns with their corporate culture. For example, Google offers an internal market where employees submit ideas and their coworkers can adopt them or give them an upvote if they are particularly worth pursuing.
5. Blockchain
The term blockchain has generated an overwhelming amount of buzz in recent years. While many people use the term, they do not always know exactly what it is or what it can do for a business.
In reality, blockchain technology is still in its infancy. Its true potential for today's business leaders has not yet been explored. However, that does not mean people and companies cannot begin benefiting from it today.
Blockchain facilitates the storage of digital information across a peer-reviewed network. In other words, it is a decentralized and immutable information storage solution that does not require any intermediate partner for oversight.
The technology facilitates governance automation and smart contracts, which are immediately and irrevocably executed once the preconditions are met. These capabilities will be broadly applicable to a wide variety of industries.

The Socceroos look set to face Croatia in their crucial final warm-up match in Brazil a week before they kick off their World Cup campaign.
The Socceroos will play two international warm-up clashes in the host nation before their tournament opener against Chile on 13 June.
The Croatian Football Federation website appeared to confirm the fixture, but a Football Federation Australia (FFA) spokesman told AAP on Friday the deal was not quite done.
The FFA hopes to confirm the fixture in coming days.
"We are in advanced negotiations with Croatia as well as some other nations about matches against the Socceroos in the lead-up to the World Cup," the spokesman said. "But the match is not yet confirmed."
The Croatian FA website on Thursday reported the fixture as a certainty.
"Croatia and Australia will play a friendly match on 6 June 2014 in Brazil, which will be the final game for both national sides before the World Cup," the website said.
"The venue will be confirmed at a later date."
Boasting the likes of Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric, Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic and a host of English Premier League stars in their line-up, Croatia will provide a stern test for the Socceroos.
It is the first time the two nations will meet since the dramatic 2-2 draw in Stuttgart at the 2006 World Cup when Harry Kewell's decisive late equaliser clinched a second-round berth for Australia.
Croatia play the opening game of the tournament against hosts Brazil in Sao Paulo, a day before Australia meet Chile in Cuiaba.
The Socceroos' next match will be their friendly on 5 March in Europe, with an opponent yet to be confirmed.
Australia will then play their farewell game at Sydney's ANZ Stadium in late May before departing for Brazil.
While Scotland and Sweden were initially touted as possible opponents, if the Croatia match is confirmed it looks likely Ange Postecoglou's side will face a non-European team in the send-off match.

Remembering a fantastic Glastonbury, DNA puppetry have been performing there since 1993 and we love it! For years we had the Puppets a Go Go! tent in the theatre field, now we happily love playing our latest production in the Kidzfield theatre tent, as well as running crafting workshops.
The DNA crew this year included our amazing innovative workshop coordinator, artists Sarah Nixon and partner Jon 'I can sort anything'Nixon, with lots of help from our roadies. We had beautiful live music from musician Jo Powell to accompany the show with live trumpet too.The audiences were amazing and the antics of Tom Thumb in this, the original British folk tale with Merlin and the Arthurs knights of the round table was perfect to perform in the legendary Vale of Avalon by Glastonbury Tor.
As always we are indebted to Tony Cordy, King Organiser of the Kidz Field at Glastonbury and his Kidz Crew ,delighting children for many a year and many more to come, for inviting us to be part of the Kidzfield family, of which we are very proud! And an honour to find the man himself Micheal Eavis sat in the audience watching our last show! Its the greatest festival in the world!
Cant wait till 2017!

Bible Study on Romans: God is For Us! Pt. 3: Romans 8:33-34
Summary: Paul makes the case that God is for us forever. As the only rightful judge, Christ Himself declares us righteous. Since He, the very standard of righteousness makes us righteous, there is none to condemn us in God's courtroom.
1. A. According to Romans 5:6-8 and Ephesians 2:1-3, how is our own adequacy described in approaching God? What kind of worthiness do you see?
B. Even though left to ourselves we were helpless, ungodly sinners and children of wrath, how did God respond to us? Rom. 3:23-26, 5:8-11, Eph. 2:4-7, 1 Peter 3:18
C. Since the Lord Jesus was condemned for our sins in our place in order to satisfy God's justice, how should we respond? Rom. 3:27-30, Eph. 2:8-10, James 4:6-8
2. A. How are believers identified according to Romans 8:33?
B. Explain how being chosen of God protects us from the accusations of the devil, of unsaved enemies, and from our own doubts of unbelief. Is. 54:17, Zech. 3:1-4, Rom. 8:31-32, Rev. 12:10-11
C. Have you ever felt falsely accused? Are you ready to give up your unfounded fears and rely on God's work on your behalf? Rom. 10:11, Eph. 6:10-18
3. A. Who does all the work regarding our salvation in Romans 8:33-34?
B. Since God does all the work in saving us, how would you explain the certainty or the finality of our salvation? Ps. 103:8-14, Is. 50:8-9, Rom. 3:26
C. So in whom are you trusting? Are you attempting to be self-reliant, which will cause you to waver, or are you dependant on the certainty of God's work? Rom. 4:16-21
4. A. Specifically, what are the great works of Christ found in Rom. 8:34?
B. Most of us know why Christ died on the cross. But can you explain why He was raised from the dead? On what basis was Christ raised? Rom. 4:25, Rom. 6:5-12, 14:9, Heb. 10:10-14, 12:2
C. Are you a living example of a risen Christ? Do you consider yourself to be continuously dead to sin and alive to God, so that He runs your life? How so?
5. A. Please observe the last work of Christ that He continues to do in Rom. 8:34.
B. How does this relate to Christ as our Advocate and the permanence of His faithfulness towards us? Heb. 7:24-27, 9:24
C. Our holy and almighty Advocate continues to be for us, because He continues to intercede for us. Have you allowed Him to be your confidence in dealing with sin? 1 John 2:1-6

Milo Ventimiglia Thanks 'This Is Us' Fans For Embracing 'Positivity & Hope' In SAGs Speech
Milo Ventimiglia gave a heartfelt speech at the SAG Awards on behalf of the cast of 'This Is Us,' thanking the show's amazing fans.
This Is Us makes you laugh, cry and want to run home and hug your family and never let go. Tonight at the SAG Awards, the cast of the show received much-deserved recognition for their performance in the hit series, taking home the Best Actor award and Best Ensemble in a TV Series. Milo Ventimiglia accepted the award with his TV family behind him, praising the show's creators, as well as the fans who watch the show every week.
"We are just a small collection of a lot of very talented and very hard-working people that work on this show," Milo said, speaking on behalf of his co-stars Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz and Justin Hartley. Our fave TV dad thanked This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman and also the dedicated fans who watch and tweet along with the Pearson's every Tuesday night. "For the people that watch with us every Tuesday night and embrace the show that reflects positivity and hope and inclusion, we love you," Milo said.
The show beat out The Crown, Game of Thrones, The Handmaid's Tale and Stranger Things in the category. Earlier in the evening, Sterling K. Brown was awarded Best Male Actor in a Drama Series, becoming the first black man to ever win in the category, and was overcome with emotion while accepting the SAG Award. "What a blessing it is to do what you love for a living," Sterling said through tears. "What an honor it is to be recognized by your peers for a job well done. This room is a source of endless inspiration for me. I love all of you. People call us weird and strange; the truth of the matter is everybody's weird and strange, and we just embrace ourselves for who we are." He closed his speech with the most Jack Pearson-inspired line ever: "Fame won't sustain you, money won't sustain you. The love — keep that love alive; it will keep you going." Amazing. Congratulations to the cast of This Is Us!

Overwhelmed in P-brewtown
I am finally back on track with my brewery operations after a splindid, albeit short, visit to London. Catching up with my daughter and friends Dann Paquette and his wife Martha was great. I already spoke about the Fullers tour, their hospitality and sweet tasting room. We drank some of the beer Dann brews at Daleside Brewery from Yorkshire. A gingered Porter and a pleasent Bitter were among some tasty brews. Dann also indulged us in some Scottish (?) Extreme beers from a company called Brewdog. These were scotch infused ales and some crazy hopped up thing. The day got a little long for me and I lost my tasting notes!!
However, some of the coolest stuff we did in London aside from the Tate Modern, which would fill an entire block of blog and I will get to some day, was hanging at the pubs. Two of which were The Market Porter right across from Boroughs Market( open air market ) and The George an old inn with full gallery courtyard and just sooo olde!! The UK has such an amazing pub culture and you just hang out and imbibe. Not to get drunk but to ponder life,enjoy the setting and communicate with one another. You just enjoy the scene. I wonder why our pub scene here in America is so different. I guess I'll need to spend more serious reserch and development time in the UK pubs figure it out and fill us in on the datails!
Now on another note, the whole Kate the Great issue needs to be resolved asap so I can sleep at night and not be worrying if we've made the right decision. As wonderful as Kate is there is a limited supply of this fine elixir. We can only make about 330 gallons per double batch due to this smallness of the Portsmouth Brewerys brew length. There is just not enough to go around. DRINK IT HERE AND ENJOY IT HERE!!! Take home a bottle or two or a growler share this fine product Do not hoard it or put it on E-Bay for resale!! Just enjoy it, It will be back again in Jan. '09
With my heart in my throat, Todm

By launching on a Tuesday afternoon, I think you may be able to avoid some of the hysteria that would have followed a Friday or Saturday release.ReplyDelete
I know I'm planning on taking the afternoon off and walking over, but if the line is ridiculous, I'll grab a seat inside, split a sampler with a friend, and order a pint at 2:27 and hope it arrives by 3!
Who knows, maybe it will rain all day and provide a level of crown control.
Tod, you are the man. I hope all works out for you. I think it is awesome to do it on a tuesday and I hope the two bottle limit comes into place. I will be there for sure to have a great time. Not trying to make a quick buck on ebay, dam hoarders.ReplyDelete

Tod I'm the guy that you took on the tour at 5:00 Thursday thanks againReplyDelete
I dropped a couple of thank you gifts off with Tyler make sure he shares
Is the growler limit going to be 2 like it was this winter? Also, is it possible to age Kate in the growlers?ReplyDelete

For my two cents, I think you should offer 3 or 4 beers a person. This way everyone gets enough to drink one, stick one or two in the cellar, and give one to a friend/trade one. 6 is more than anyone needs, and just encourages people to sell the beer they don't need. I was just at dark lord day (where there was a 6 beer limit), and tons of people were trying to sell their beer within hours. Can't wait to come to Portsmouth for the first time!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your two cents. The reason that DLD can relase 6 bottles per person is that they are 5 times the size of us!!! The offical number of bottles per person is still in debate so you need to read the post "Kate the Great - Tulipomania Redux? Vote for you fav!!!" And vote for your voice to be heard.
Tod, Tyler,ReplyDelete
I was at DLD and showed up hours early. We were somewhere about 300-350 people back in line. But it was fun meeting beer lovers for around the country. It was fun to trade beer and stories! You can't stop the Ebayers no matter what you do. Which sucks! But I want to get some for my cellar, some for my belly and some for my friends. O and just one for a trade with a friend in Mississippi who just can't make it up here. 6 is a good number even if it goes fast. On a Tuesday I'm hoping not too many people will be there. If they are, I'll try again on Wednesday (only an hour ride from Boston). Plus I'd like to have a chance to drink some of the other awesome brews and grab a bite to eat. See you guys soon!
i can't wait! no matter what you guys do, you will end up with complainers. if i only get one beer, i will be happy. i just want to try it and let as many people enjoy it who want to enjoy it. i think the true beer lovers will be there and will hopefully all feel the same way so there's no nastiness. i really just want to make it in the door on that day. maybe imperial pint club members could be given first dibbs on getting in the door 1st?ReplyDelete

The new Ford EcoSport has entered 2018 with a refreshed appearance – including an almost entirely new cabin – and has a genuinely up-to-the-minute look and feel. As ever, this sharply styled crossover comes well-equipped as standard and boasts plenty of engine options, including an all-wheel drive addition.
Available in Zetec, Titanium and ST-Line trim levels, this compact SUV – the smallest such vehicle in Ford's collection – is the perfect size to enjoy city driving to the full. Its bijou dimensions make it ideal for weaving in and out of traffic, and slotting into parking spaces that many other SUVs find too small. The latest iteration is more appealing than ever, with, for instance, a smartly creased body kit, rising window line and standard-issue 16-inch alloy wheels. It's practical too. A side-opening tailgate provides easy access when the vehicle is parked by a nearside kerb. Titanium trims add roof rails that allow for extra load-bearing possibilities, while ST-Line grades feature sportily contrasting roof and body colours, and a conspicuous rear spoiler.
It's the new EcoSport's cabin that benefits from the biggest changes, having been almost entirely redesigned. Welcome new elements include leather-clad fixtures, such as steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake handle, and an all-new dashboard is similar to the one found in the latest Fiesta incarnation. Electrically powered front windows and air-conditioning are featured as standard, making it easy to determine an agreeable cabin temperature. Titanium and ST-Line trims also include power-operated rear windows. The latter grade adds sportier elements, such as contrasting red stitching on steering wheel, handbrake handle and gearshift gaiter – and pedals that are fitted with stainless steel inserts.
The new EcoSport is installed with a 1.5-litre 112bhp petrol engine as standard, which manages up to 44.8mpg and produces a 149g/km CO2 emission figure. Optimal efficiency is delivered by ST-Line grades that are installed with a 1.5-litre 100bhp diesel unit. This returns as much as 68.8mpg, while producing emissions as low as 107g/km. For peak performance, opt for a 1.0-litre 140bhp EcoBoost engine. This delivers up to 54.3mpg, produces 119g/km of CO2 and allows the vehicle to go from 0-60mph in approximately 11 seconds. The EcoSport can now be selected with all-wheel drive too, which comes with a 1.5-litre 123bhp diesel engine.
The EcoSport's updated dashboard now features Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system, which comes complete with an easy-to-operate and vivid 6.5-inch touchscreen. From here, you can access a six-speaker audio system, and mirror your smartphone via the vehicle's display with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Titanium grades and higher feature an eight-inch touchscreen and also include satellite navigation.
A whole host of safety components are included as standard, helping to keep everyone on board as secure as possible. For instance, Electronic Stability Control, Cruise Control and Hill-launch Assist all feature, as do automatic headlamps and windscreen wipers. Titanium grades, meanwhile, add a rear parking camera, which relays footage via the car's touchscreen display.
If you have any questions
about the new Ford EcoSport, or would like to book a test drive, please get in
touch. You can do so by completing our online contact form – or phone or visit
our Rutland showroom any weekday or Saturday.

There's an unusual and somewhat drawn-out sentencing hearing unfolding in federal court this week, as U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock ponders what to do with William Orr, an inventor and promoter who spent decades developing patents for an octane-boosting, emissions-reducing gasoline blend -- only to run afoul of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, postal inspectors and a host of other federal regulators.
Orr's case is a complicated one. As reported in my 2008 feature, "Nobody's Fuel," prosecutors convicted him last May on 23 counts of mail fraud, making false statements to the EPA and failure to file tax returns. But Orr also has a number of respected scientists and alternative-fuel experts still defending him, insisting that the technology he developed could be viable. It's undisputed that the EPA shut down his $3.2 million research grant just when he was on the verge of tests by an independent lab that would have demonstrated that either Orr was deluded or that the EPA had been cooking the science on its own emissions requirements.
But the most surprising aspect of the current sentencing hearing is the number of long-suffering investors who are testifying on Orr's behalf -- including some who were reluctant prosecution witnesses during the trial. If Orr is a charlatan, as the government claims, why does he still have so many true believers at this late date?
A key aspect of the government's case is that Orr misrepresented his technology to investors, bilking them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by leading them to believe that the product worked and would soon be marketable. But many (though not all) of the major investors have testified that they don't feel cheated at all -- that they're satisfied Orr plowed the money into research and defending the patents. They haven't suffered losses, they say, except to the extent that the EPA investigation damaged Orr's chances of proving the fuel's worth and allowed some valuable patents to expire.

"The investors are in a better position to know what they've lost than the government is," insisted David Lewis, who invested $165,000 in Orr's company over a period of several years. According to Lewis, federal investigators tried to convince him that Orr had no research lab (he did) and that he was using the investment money for extravagant personal expenses (never proven), in an effort to recruit him as a prosecution witness.
"A lot of that stuff was misleading," Lewis told the judge. "I've been investing in start-ups since the 1960s. The con artists are always easy to spot. They're having other people do the work while they're driving around in fancy cars.... Bill always drove a beat-up junker. He never wore fancy clothes. He didn't live in a mansion. He never spent money in any way I could see, and he was always working hard on his patents."
Orr, who has no prior criminal record, could spend up to a decade behind bars. Or Judge Babcock could heed the investors, who claim no good can come of sending such a brilliant if erratic fellow to prison, and that their only real hope or recovering their money could come from a probationary sentence that would allow Orr to work at repaying them.
Tellingly, the government was able to present several disgruntled investors as witnesses at trial -- but most have since signed a shareholders' resolution urging mercy for Orr. The only prosecution witnesses presented at the hearing all work for the feds: a postal inspector, an EPA investigator and an IRS special agent. Conspicuously absent were any of the "victims" of Bill Orr's crime spree, with the exception of aggrieved tax collectors and bureaucrats -- possibly the least sympathetic victims on the planet.

Trailer: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The trailer for the American version The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is finally out. It looks really, really good:
Wired has more details on the movie here. It's good to note that it is being directed by David Fincher, so it will be dark and twisted– and very good! The movie won't be released until December 2011. This leaves me plenty of time to read all three of the novels and watch the Swedish versions of the films.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, or MBSR as it is commonly known, is a type of mindfulness training that can benefit people who suffer from stress, anxiety and other forms of psychological distress.
It was originally conceptualized by founder and mindfulness thought leader Jon Kabat-Zinn
It isn't reserved solely for those with a diagnosed condition though. MBSR is beneficial to anyone who wants to learn how to better cope with a fast-paced, stressful, unforgiving world.
Because MBSR helps people make better judgments in life through the objective watching of emotions, courses are now being offered to employees by big companies such as Apple and Google.
If you aren't lucky enough to have an employer to send you on a course, you might like to take advantage of the official MBSR online course, which provides the convenience of distance learning.
Having taken the course myself and found it incredibly insightful and useful, I thought I'd do a run-down of what to expect for others thinking of doing the same. I hope you find it useful.
About the MBSR Course
Since its inception, more than 22,000 people have completed the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program with the University of Massachusetts and learned how to use their innate resources and abilities to respond more effectively to stress, pain, and illness.
The course combines elements of meditation with modern medical techniques, and is a systematic way to cultivate clarity, insight, and understanding into our lives.
People who suffer stress from work, school, family, financial worries, medical problems, grief, or general anxiety can all benefit from this online training. The course is also recommended to people who suffer from symptoms of other kinds of distress, such as depression, fatigue or sleep disturbances.
The MBSR online course focuses on prevention and wellness techniques, demonstrating the best way for you to take care of your physical and mental health, and how to create a greater feeling of resilience and balance.
Therefore, those who suffer from chronic medical conditions such as high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, cancer, heart disease, asthma or other long-term medical conditions will also find it beneficial.
The MBSR online course is led by Dr Saki Santorelli and senior instructor Florence Meleo-Meyer, both from the Stress Reduction Clinic Team at University of Massachusetts.
Dr Santorelli is the current director of the Stress Reduction Clinic, as well as the executive director of the Center for Mindfulness, Health Care, and Society at UMass.
The Senior Instructor, Florence Meleo-Meyer, is also a member of the executive leadership team for the same Center. Both are providing instruction from techniques based on over three decades of research and development.
The MBSR Online Course is currently the only complete online training course in MBSR.
It follows the same, well-respected method on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction that is taught at the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Students can expect to receive the same quality as attending an in-person course, but at a reduced price. US customers taking part in this course will also receive 30 CE credits.
**A continuing education unit (CEU) or continuing education credit (CEC) is a measure used in continuing education programs to assist the professional to maintain his or her license in their profession.
The Core Benefits of the MBSR Course
The benefits of MBSR are extensive, but the most profound are:
- Reduced physical & psychological suffering in terms of stress and tension in the mind and body.
- Improved levels of energy and a greater enthusiasm for life.
- Increased ability to deal with challenging situations in a calm, composed way.
- Increased ability to relax, even when faced with stressful circumstances.
- Improved self-esteem and confidence.
- Reduced feelings of anger and frustration.
- Better relationship management at work and in your personal life.
- Natural pain management (for those experiencing chronic/on-going pain)
Course Delivery & Learning Materials
The course schedule is spread over eight weekly classes, plus an additional one-day class.
Included in the training modules are over 16 hours of video and audio to download, which comprises of instruction on mindfulness meditation, stretching, yoga and guidance on how to enhance mental clarity and heightened awareness in everyday life.
There are also four hours of audio-guided mindfulness practice.
During the course, you'll also need to complete an online journal. This is checked and feedback is provided by the course instructors.
This provides a useful way to record, reflect and document your experience. Emptying your thoughts on paper, so to speak, will help you work through mental blockages.
After completion of the course, you will check back through your progress by participating in one of the two annual live sessions provided by the course instructors. This is provided as their ongoing commitment to your wellness, post the course.
Course Structure & Modules
To start the course, you'll first need to take part in an orientation session. During this introductory session, you'll get to grips with MBSR and learn how this practice has become an accepted part of mainstream medicine and how it can positively affect the quality of your everyday life.
After the introduction, you'll begin eight weekly classes and complete one all-day session.
In the first week you'll receive an overview of the course that gives you an opportunity to establish the learning context for the rest of your experience. You'll learn about the theory and evidence of mind-body medicine, mindfulness, and how to apply it to your daily life.
Week 2 focuses on the concept of mindfulness: Here you'll examine your own perceptions and assumptions of the world. You'll learn how to use the body-scan practice, which cultivates a greater degree of awareness and perception of stressful situations.
In week 3, you'll begin to practice several important mindfulness practices, including hatha yoga, sitting meditation and walking meditation.
By discovering that there is both pleasure and power in being present, you'll be able to directly understand how your experiences create different reactions, such as pleasure or discomfort.
Week 4 further develops these ideas and you'll focus on developing your ability to concentrate and systematically expand your field of awareness.
You'll learn about the physiological and psychological bases of stress and then experience positive strategies for how to respond to distress.
By week 5 you'll be halfway through the course, and after developing a good base and familiarity in mindfulness techniques, the focus now shifts to target points. These may include particular areas where you may be stuck in your life or notice unhealthy patterns and habits.
You'll then learn how to apply mindfulness to produce proactive responses to these things.
You'll also learn how to apply mindfulness at the most critical moments in your life, such as when you experience extreme physical or mental sensations.
In week 6, you'll learn about resilience, or 'stress hardiness', and the ability to return to equilibrium after distressing situations.
Between weeks 6 and 7 there is a day-long, guided retreat that focuses on putting all the techniques you've been learning about into practice.
The session lasts for six hours, and the aim of this intensive session is to enable you to be able to effectively use MBSR skills in multiple situations in your life after you complete the online training program.
After the day-long retreat, the focus shifts to how to make Mindfulness a lifetime commitment.
In week 7, you'll learn how to maintain the discipline of daily mindfulness mediation. As circumstances change over the course of your life, you'll need to understand how you can integrate Mindfulness more fully into your life.
Then, in week 8, the final session covers a complete review of all that you've learned. You'll also learn about further resources that are available so that you can continue to pursue mindfulness in new directions after the course has finished.
This final class really encourages you to use the techniques you've learnt in the course throughout the rest of your life.

In Conclusion
The course is the only one of its kind delivered by qualified teachers from the founding University of Massachusetts Medical School & Center of Mindfulness.
And this really shows in terms of the depth and the professionalism of the structure of the course and materials provided.
I would go as far as to say that this is better than the majority of in-person courses and retreats I've attended.
I say this because these are usually a two-day affair and lack the depth and thought-design required to probably engage you and give you the know-how to move forward and apply the practices successfully in your life in the medium and long term.
What I would say though is that you need to make a commitment to follow the program in its entirety.
The course requires you to do this on your own time; there's no one dragging you along to a local center or retreat, so you must be self-motivated.
That being said, there's no pressure, so take it at your own pace and enjoy it.
While this is a learning experience, it's also a liberating, fun, profound exploration of your mind and body that will begin to unlock potential and happiness that you never thought could exist.

Presenting at LibreOffice conference in Paris
I am still alive, yes. My blog cannot be considered a good heartbeat :-) Last blog post must have been at least 3 months ago, but I have been busy. Really busy.
Good thing is that I will be presenting at the LibreOffice conference in Paris tomorrow about Unoconv. I am excited to pour some more energy into this tool and already the first day I have met some interesting people. Thanks to Cor Nouws from Nou&Off who was so kind to introduce me everywhere.
No LOADays for me, unfortunately
A few people have asked me the past couple of months whether I would be going to Linux Open Administration Days in Antwerp and whether I was interested to give a presentation.
I would have loved to give a presentation on LOADays, but unfortunately I will be in San Francisco this weekend and thus enable to make it. I hope for the second edition there is room in my schedule and I wish everyone an interesting conference this weekend !
It definitely promises to be one :-)
Going to Japan Linux Symposium
So I'll be going to the 1st Japan Linux Symposium to present dstat (and wiipresent ;-)) and of course visit Tokyo and surroundings. It will be my first time in Japan, so now is the time to tell me what is definitely worth on the shortlist !
The presentation will be a complete update with the latest features and examples, and if all goes well I'll be introducing something new too...
PS Since I don't eat fish, you can strike sushi already :-)
Limited Open Source traveling budget
While I am waiting for a decision about a (partly) refund of my travel expenses to Japan Linux Symposium in Tokyo, I wanted to discuss what I expect from organizations for talking at conferences.
T-DOSE 2007 is dead, long live T-DOSE 2008.
T-DOSE 2007 is over, and it was good. It could have been great if more people attended and I think the lesson for T-DOSE is that more advertising is needed. And maybe that will lead to more presentation tracks so that even more people are interested in coming.
But the organization was perfect, the location superb and the people the max. So next year you cannot miss out.
Thanks to everyone who made it happen.

We live in interesting times. Economic turmoil, environmental concern and new domestic and global political dynamics pose immense opportunities for Canada.
These opportunities arise because Canada is a country not driven by fear but by both the optimism I discussed at the outset of this address and a rational process for finding our way as a nation.
Wahida Chishti Valiante is a social worker specializing in family therapy. She replaces outgoing CIC President Mohamed Elmasry, who stepped down in November and whose controversial time in the position probably did not do the organization's rep much good. Here is too a better future and, yeah Ms. Valiante, Mark Steyn is still a prick.

Ti LØUIE
This is probably one of the most requested rings I have made, and for good reason... It's totally awesome and is my second favorite wedding band I offer.
Material: (CP2 G3) Commercially pure grade 3 (99.9%) titanium.
Standard finish: Darkened outer (not "BLACK" see photo its a matte gray) with satin semi-polished finish inside. It is basically a dark patina and will scratch over time. That is the idea to "show age".
Sizes: 8-13.5 in half sizes. (SEE DROP DOWN MENU)
When getting sized please get sized for a wide band.
Note: There can be a 60-90 day wait for this item. It can be less but sometimes when there are sales I get a little backed up. Please be patient, I'll be working as fast as I can to get orders fulfilled. If you need it sooner for a wedding, just lmk before ordering. I can try and work it out for you.

sweet time with a sweet dog
Okay, not actual story time – just simple quiet time is what I'll be talking about today, but it's the same idea. Quiet time with people can be just as important for shelter dogs as getting out of their runs and exercising.
Stress in animals can be gauged by measuring levels of the glucocorticoid cortisol. Cortisol is released by animals in times of stress, meant to be used as a body's way to combat sudden environmental changes and other stress-inducing situations. Prolonged exposure to stress, however, causes elevated levels of cortisol over long periods of time, which begins to have a negative impact on the body. Prolonged elevated cortisol levels in animals can lead to illness, behavior changes, depression and more.
It's no secret that the shelter environment is stressful for dogs. That is why progressive shelters these days are doing so much to try to combat the…

Most people agree that pregnancy tests are some of the greatest inventions ever, as they provide a quick answer to an extremely crucial question: are we going to be parents? Some are anxious to see the two pink lines, because they have been waiting for a positive result for a long time. Others may be scared, because a child was not what they have planned for now. For either case, a pregnancy test will determine quite accurately, until you get to see your doctor, whether you should start looking for a baby crib or not. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here!
Did you miss your last period/periods?
Do you feel tired?
Are you experiencing nausea?
Are you experiencing soreness or enlargement of breasts?
If the answers to the questions above are yes, then you need to buy a home pregnancy test. For accuracy, you need to wait until you have missed a period, but sometimes it feels like it is going to take ages. If you cannot wait that long, then count 14 days from the moment you think you have conceived. The latest tests are more sensitive and they can provide an accurate answer without having to wait for so many days.
Pregnancy tests can be performed using urine or blood samples. There are special markers that react to these fluids and can tell you if you are pregnant or not. However, with home tests, you can only use urine samples and you need to follow the instructions correctly to prevent false negatives or false positives. Of course, after taking the test at home, it is advisable that you check it with your gynecologist. He will perform more tests, such as obstetric ultrasonography or other laboratory tests, based on blood samples.
The mechanisms behind pregnancy tests are simple. They detect the presence of a hormone that appears inside the women's body as soon as the newly formed embryo attaches to the uterus. Some people doubt the accuracy of the urine tests, but they need to know that these tests are around 97% accurate if all the instructions are followed correctly. More than that, they are popular because:
you can use them at home;
you get more privacy than going to the doctor;
the result is fast;
they are extremely easy to use.
Blood pregnancy tests are even more efficient than urine tests. They can show the results earlier than the urine test, within 10 days since fertilization. They can also detect certain pregnancy related problems. On the other hand, they are quite expensive and need to be done in a clinic.
Even if they are highly accurate, sometimes, the results of these tests can be false positive or false negative. A situation like this can occur:
if there are some chemical interferences due to medication;
due to an early miscarriage;
if the test is not used properly.
There are lots of pregnancy tests available, so, if you believe you might be pregnant, don't hesitate to get one to find an answer fast.

The auxiliary material contains three videos. The videos highlight the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 explosions. All videos were recorded using a Sony HDR-SR7 at a distance of ~1 km to the north of the vent. The difference in vent locations is clear from the daytime videos (S1 and S3) as is the differenence in duration. These examples of Type 2 events are much more impulsive than the Type 1 event. While bombs can be seen in S3, they are much more obvious in S2. No bombs are visible in the Type 1 explosion video, S1.
Video S1. A typical Type 1 event from January 2008. S1-Type1.mov
Video S2. A night video of a Type 2 explosion from January 2009. This video was recorded using the "night mode" near-infrared-sensitiveeee setting. S2-Type2-night.mov
Video S3. A typical Type 2 event from January 2009. S3-Type2-day.mov

For about two months or so I've been musing on magic and synchronicities after some hysterical synchronicities occurred that even blew me away. Luckily my mom was a witness to some of them or people would think they were unbelievable. It makes me think that we should never underestimate life and what is possible – a great thing to think about for the new year. The mind always wants to make sense of synchronicities, especially in the beginning, and although it can never know 100%, at least there are some things that can be intuited. How the synchronicities happen exactly who knows, but that is part of the mystery and magic of life. Some say synchronicity is a frequency you tap into. The reason this could very well be is that in the past there were times in my life where synchronicities were abundant, then later they slowed down (except for Tinkerbell stickers I would see quite a bit). Lately it has just been one after the other and the feeling of them being intertwined adds to the magic. For now, I'm going to put it out into the universe that more information about this comes to me for a later post.
Synchronicities are a part of, but not the only way to experience magical perception. It seems that synchronicities have different purposes.
- Some show something to act upon
- Some show something to learn
- Some help for a decision that needs to be made
- Some, like my first synchronicities, were nature related, ie. a totem animal or plant is working with me and to understand more about the animal or plant
- Some are showing you in what direction your mission is unfolding
- They all can be downright fun and mindblowing
Seeing life as magical is based on perception. We can shift our perception to see the magic in things if we wish. This begins with observing and listening; being present enough to catch the small things. In the past few months I've been aware that I act upon what I see in my mind's eye. For example, I'll be doing something when a clear picture pops up of something I need to do (if I choose of course). A small example of this is…When recently doing some new year's cleaning I "saw" that it was time to go through some books. When doing this I found some paper lotus flowers that I forgot about. Sorting through the books I grabbed one in particular and when it opened, it was on a page about the lotus. Later that day while getting on a favorite flower essence site, the photo to click on to enter the site was a bottle of lotus flower essence. Three synchronicities in one day tells me something is going on with lotus! The meanings found online are just a starting point to explore. It seems other meanings may make themselves known as they can be unique to you.
Some believe that reaching a point of seemingly continuous synchronicity is a sign that you have reached a point in your evolution where "cleaning house" – physically, mentally and spiritually is finally paying off. When I look back before the synchronicities became so commonplace it could be this belief is truth. I noticed that:
(1) My heart was much more closed previously and now it is more open.
(2) Before I was more on the typical 3D roller coaster – good and bad days. Now my days are generally more even and happy. This makes sense because it is really hard to see signs and synchronicities when you are in a grubby mood.
(3) Before my health was less vibrant due to having had reversed polarity. Now the healing continues and will continue as long as I support it. If you feel "off" or just have low energy, you may not see the signs and synchronicities.
(4) I used to have to "do" something to have fun. Now life is just fun in general. Even "boring" things are fun with magical glasses on.
(5) "Spiritual" was something you did as in practice, like meditate, use crystals, do yoga etc. There was a disconnect in understanding that every act and every minute is spiritual because it did not feel like that at all. In the magical flow, everything and everyone is spiritual and everything is connected.
(6) Magical is not disconnected from the mundane. Yes, even muggles are magical!
(7) Before the indigo "warrioress" would rear her head to voice the horrors of life and how wrong they were (the typical indigo trap). Now, with a deeper understanding, you get that something will not exist on the outside if it isn't a part of ourselves. The best way to shift out of the horrors is to remove it first within ourselves. How do you know you are shifting out of the horrors? When you hear of them, you are able to observe without getting sucked into the emotion of it. Getting sucked into the emotion means feeding the horror you wish not to see. Simply observing it is holding the space for other opportunities to evolve and to act with compassion and love for the healing of others instead of horror.
(8) I've always loved plants and animals, but wasn't very drawn to what they represent and how they help us as totems, etc. Now it is quite apparent that so many of the signs and synchronicities come from nature since everything is nature! Being in tune with nature is a key element of magical perception.
Next post…how to get into the magic.
