February 22nd, 2015, 22:31 Posted By: wraggsterWhen you think of a doorbell, you typically dont think of anything very complicated. Its a button that rings a bell inside your home. Thats about it. [Ahmad] decided he wanted to turn his doorbell up to eleven (Google Doc) with this build. Using a Raspberry Pi, he was able to cram in loads of features.
When the doorbell button is pressed, many different events can be triggered. In the demo video, [Ahmad] shows how his phone receives a text message, and email, and a tweet. The system can even be configured to place a voice call via Google Hangouts using a USB microphone. [Ahmad] demonstrates this and shows how the voice call is placed almost instantly when the button is pressed. This may be a bit overkill, but it does demonstrate many different options depending on your own needs.
For the hardware side of things, [Ahmad] purchased a wireless doorbell. He opened up the ringer unit and hooked up the speaker wires to a couple of pins on the Raspberry Pi through a resistor. The doorbell unit itself is powered off of the 3.3V supply from the Pi. The Pi also has a small LCD screen which shows helpful information such as if the Internet connection is working. The screen will also display the last time and date the doorbell was pressed, in case you werent home to answer the door.
On top of all of that, the system also includes a Raspberry Pi camera module. This allows [Ahmad] to take a photo of the person ringing the doorbell as a security measure. He can even view a live video feed from the front door by streaming directly to YouTube live. [Ahmad] has provided a link to his Pi image in the Google Doc so others can use it and modify it as they see fit.

The audience for do-it-yourself computing might be larger than you think. The Raspberry Pi Foundation just revealed that it recently sold its 5 millionth mini computer -- not bad considering that the team had only delivered 1.75 million Raspberry Pis as of October 2013, or 16 months ago. The figure pales in comparison to what giant PC makers can do (Apple now sells over 5 million Macs per quarter), but it's impressive for a barebones board meant for schools and homebrew projects. In fact, the team notes that it could be the best-selling UK computer maker "ever."
February 17th, 2015, 00:10 Posted By: wraggsterWe can never seem to get enough garage door hacks around here. [Tanners] project is the most recent entry into this category. Hes managed to hook up a Raspberry Pi to his garage door opener. This greatly extends his range to
well anywhere with an Internet connection.
His hack is relatively simple. He started with the garage door opener remote. He removed the momentary switch that was normally used to active the door. He bridged the electrical connection to create a circuit that was always closed. This meant that as long as the remote had power, the switch would be activated. Now all [Tanner] had to do was remove the battery and hook up the power connectors to his Raspberry Pi. Since the remote works on 3.3V and draws little current, he is able to power the remote directly from the Pi. The Pi just has to turn its pin high momentarily to activate the remote.
The ability to toggle the state of your garage door from anywhere in the world also comes with paranoia. [Tanner] wanted to be able to tell if the door is up, down, or stopped somewhere in the middle while he was away from home. He also wanted to use as little equipment as possible. Since he already had an IP camera in the garage, he decided to use computer vision to do the detection.
He printed off two large, black shapes onto ordinary white computer paper. One was taped to the top of the door and one to the bottom. A custom script runs on the Pi that grabs the latest image from the camera and usesOpenCV to detect the shapes. If both shapes are visible, then the script can assume the door is closed. Otherwise, its likely open. This makes it easier for [Tanner] to know if the door is opened or closed without having to check the camera himself.
Cant get enough garage door hacks? Try these on for size.
February 12th, 2015, 23:31 Posted By: wraggster[Tim] was looking for a way to control his power outlets using WiFi. He looked into purchasing a WeMo but he realized that he could build something even better with more bang for his buck. He started out by purchasing a five pack of Etekcity wireless remote control outlet switches. These are kind of like the WeMo, only they arent controlled via WiFi. Instead, they come with an RF controller. [Tim] just needed to find a way to bridge the gap between the RF remote and WiFi.
[Tim] decided to use a Raspberry Pi as the brains of the controller. He also purchased a SMAKN 433MHz RFreceiver and transmitter for communicating with the wireless outlet switches. The wiring for the modules is pretty simple. There are only four wires. There are power and ground wires for each module. Then the transmitter needs two GPIO pins while the receiver only needs one.
[Tim] began with a fresh installation of Raspbian. He then installed Wiring Pi, which gives you the ability to interface with the GPIO pins in a way that is similar to Arduino. He also installed Apache and PHP to create a web interface for switching the outlets. The last step was to write some custom software. The software included a script that allowed [Tim] to sniff out the controls of his RF remote. The correct codes are entered into the toggle.php file, and everything is set. All [Tim] has to do now is browse to his Pis web server and click a button. All of the custom code is available via git.

February 8th, 2015, 21:53 Posted By: wraggsterFor the past month, the Raspberry Pi 2 has only been available to the Raspi Foundation, and for about 2 weeks, select members of the media who have worn the Raspi 2 on a necklace like [Flavor Flav] wears a clock. Thats not many people with real, working hardware and when a product is released, the great unwashed masses will find some really, really weird bugs. The first one to crop up is a light-sensitive reset of the Raspberry Pi 2.
[PeterO] on the Raspberry Pi forums took a few pictures with flash of a running Raspberry Pi 2. It took a little bit of deduction to realize that a camera flash will either reset or turn the Raspi 2 off. Yes, this is weird, and experiments are ongoing.
confirms the finding and a reddit thread offers an explanation. U16, a small chip located in the power supply part of the Raspi 2, is sensitive to light. Putting enough photons will cause the Pi to shut down or restart.
Theres still some research to be done, however, I can confirm a cheap green laser pointer will reset a Raspberry Pi 2 when the beam is directed at the U16 chip. This is the chip that is responsible, and this is not an EMP issue. This is a photon/light issue with the U16 chip. The solution to this bug is to either keep it in a case, or put a tiny amount of electrical tape over the chip.
Thanks [Arko] for staying up until an ungodly hour and sending this to me.
February 7th, 2015, 20:45 Posted By: wraggsterOf all the vintage chiptune machines out there, the Commodore 64 is the most famous. Even 30 years later, there are still massive gatherings dedicated to eeking out the last cycle of processing power and graphics capability from the CPU and the infamous synth-on-a-chip, the SID. [Bob] wanted to build a SID jukebox. A C64 is capable of the job, but if you want to have every SID composition on an SD card and connect that to a network, a Raspberry Pi is the way to go.
The SID chip, in its 6581 or 8580 versions, is controlled directly by poking registers on the chip through the address and data busses. This means a lot of pins, too many for the original Raspi expansion header. Thats not a problem that cant be solved with a few shift registers, though. The rest of the circuit is an LM386 audio amplifier, an LCD that displays the current song, and a can crystal oscillator for the SID.
Right now everything is wired up on a breadboard, but making this a Raspberry Pi hat would be a rather simple proposition. Its only a matter of finding a SID with working filters, and if you can manage that, its a pretty easy build to replicate. Video below.
February 4th, 2015, 21:17 Posted By: wraggsterRaspberry Pi is positioned to become the bestselling UK-made computer of all time, according to a new BBC report.
Ahead of Raspberry Pi 2's launch later this month, founder Ebon Upton tells BBC that lifetime sales for Raspberry Pi have reached 4.5m just 500,000 shy of overtaking the ZX Spectrum, originally debuted in 1982 by Sinclair and pulled from retail in 1992.
Raspberry Pi sells an average of 200,000 units per month, but that figure is expected to be up with the impending launch of the new model the tech of which makes it six times more powerful for a variety of applications, according to Upton.
"There comes a point when there's no substitute for more memory and CPU performance," Upton wrote on the Raspberry Pi blog.
"Our challenge was to figure out how to get this without throwing away our investment in the platform or spoiling all those projects and tutorials which rely on the precise details of the Raspberry Pi hardware."
Raspberry Pi 2 will also offer free access to Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10 OS.
"Raspberry Pi has quickly become one of the Maker community's favorite platforms because their highly-capable, low-cost boards and compute modules enable developers to bring their vision to life," Windows IoT Group GM Kevin Dallas wrote over on the official Windows blog.
"Raspberry Pi 2 is a surprisingly powerful device that opens up the world of computing and programming to a huge range of people and skill levels.
February 2nd, 2015, 19:30 Posted By: wraggsterMicrosoft is expanding their Windows Developer Program for Internet of Things by delivering a version of Windows 10 that runs on the Raspberry Pi 2. This release of Windows 10 will be free for the maker community through the Windows Developer Program for IoT. With an official partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Microsoft is bringing development tools, services and ecosystem to the Raspberry Pi community. More details will be shared in the coming months. You can already join the program and be amongst the first to receive product information and beta software releases.
February 2nd, 2015, 19:26 Posted By: wraggsterA new and faster Raspberry Pi 2 model has been made available for sale at the same price as the previous B+ version.
The $35 micro-computer features a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, which the organisation claims makes it six times more powerful than other models. As a result of the new processor, it can also run a number of operating systems such as Snappy Ubuntu Core and Windows 10, the latter of which will be free. It also houses 1GB of Ram and is compatible with the first Raspberry Pi.
Despite the new models release, the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+, B and B+ will continue to be available for sale as long as demand continues.
February 2nd, 2015, 19:20 Posted By: wraggsterWhile Raspberry Pi fans were told to expect a brand new board somewhere around 2017, it turns out that wasn't quite true. This is the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B: a substantial upgrade from the Model B+ that will go on sale later today for $35/£25. The new board has some fundamental upgrades that could well warrant the upgrade for existing Raspberry Pi dabblers -- that is, if smaller wasn't better. Raspberry Pi Foundation lead Eben Upton told The Register that the new Model B "is a usable PC now." A fact borne out by official support for Windows 10."You could use a Raspberry Pi 1 as a PC but you had to say 'this is a great PC in so far as it cost me 35 bucks'. We've removed the caveat that you had to be a bit forgiving with it. Now it's just good."

Over the years, the Raspberry Pi has helped children learn to code and has powered many homebrew projects around the world, but some users have often lamented at the lack Windows support. Luckily, now that the Raspberry Pi 2 is here, that's all about to change. Microsoft has announced that it will support the Raspberry Pi Foundation's latest board, making a specialized version of its Windows 10 operating systemavailable to the wider Pi community for free via its Windows Developer Program for IoT (Internet of Things).

For his PhD at the University of Michigan, [Adam] designed a Raspberry Pi-based system that controls an HCCI engine, a type of engine which combines the merits of both diesel and gasoline engines. These engines exhibit near-chaotic behavior and are very challenging to model, so he developed a machine learning algorithm on a Raspberry Pi that adaptively learns how to control the engine.
[Adam]s algorithm needs real-time readings of cylinder pressures and the crankshaft angle to run. To measure this data on a Raspberry Pi, [Adam] designed a daughterboard that takes readings from pressure sensors in each cylinder and measures the crankshaft angle with an encoder. The Pi is also equipped with a CAN transceiver that communicates with a low-level engine control unit.
[Adam]s algorithm calculates engine control parameters in real-time on the Pi based on the pressure readings and crankshaft position. The control values are sent over CAN to the low-level engine controller. The Pi monitors changes in the engines performance with the new values, and makes changes to its control values to optimize the combustion cycle as the engine runs. The Pi also serves up a webpage with graphs of the crankshaft position and cylinder pressure that update in real-time to give some user feedback.
For all the juicy details, take a look at [Adam]s paper we linked above. For a more visual breakdown, check out the video after the break where [Adam] walks you through his setup and the awesome lab he gets to work in.
January 18th, 2015, 21:55 Posted By: wraggsterWith tiny, Internet-connected computers everywhere these days, home automation is finally hitting it big. [Jelora] was looking for a few more home automation projects and realized his electric meter had a pair of digital information outputs. With a Raspberry Pi and a few bits of wire, he figured out how to read this digital output and put a log of his electricity consumption up on the web.
The digital output on [Jelora]s meter is a bit odd; its 1200 bps, 7 bits per character, parity, with one stop bit. Its also a 50 kHz AC signal for a binary 0 and nothing for a binary 1. To read this signal, [Jelora] is using a diode to throw out half the signal, a 6N138 optoisolator so the Pi isnt connected directly to the meter, and a small cap to smooth out the signal. Simple, and it works.
This cleaned up signal is then connected to serial to USB chip and a PHP script scrapes the data every minute. The data received from the meter is stored in a data base along with a few other bits of information: if the meter is being charged peak or off-peak rates, and the price per kWh. All this is saved on an IDE hard drive (more reliable than the SD card, surprisingly), and a electricity cost per day is plotted on a nifty graph and served up by the Raspberry Pi.

[j3tstream] wanted an easier way to monitor traffic on the roads in his area. Specifically, he wanted to monitor the roads from his car while driving. That meant it needed to be easy to use, and not too distracting.
[j3tstream] figured he could use a Raspberry Pi to run the system. This would make things easy since hed have a full Linux system at his disposal. The Pi is relatively low power, so its run from a car cigarette lighter adapter. [j3tstream] did have to add a custom power button to the Pi. This allows the system to boot up and shut down gracefully, preventing system files from being corrupted.
After searching eBay, [j3tstream] found an inexpensive 3.2″ TFT LCD touchscreen display that would work nicely for displaying the traffic data. The display was easy to get working with the Pi. [j3tstream] used the Raspbian linux distribution. His project page includes a link to download a Raspbian image that already includes the necessary modules to work with the LCD screen. Once the image is loaded, all that needs to be done is to calibrate the screen using built-in operating system functions.
The system still needed a data connection. To make things simple and inexpensive, [j3tstream] used a USB WiFi dongle. The Pi then connects to a WiFi hot spot built into his 4G mobile phone. To view the traffic map, [j3tstream] just connects to a website that displays traffic for his area.
The last steps were to automate as much as possible. After all, you dont want to be fumbling with a little touch screen while driving. [j3tstream] made some edits to the LXDE autostart file. These changes automatically load a browser in full screen mode to the traffic website. Now when [j3tstream] boots up his Pi, it automatically connects to his WiFi hotspot and loads up local traffic maps.
January 4th, 2015, 20:44 Posted By: wraggsterWhat do you get when you take an extremely small Raspberry Pi clone and stuff it inside a Game Boy Advance SP? We dont know what to call it, but its probably one of the best portable gaming machines ever made, able to run emulators ranging from the Apple II to playing Quake III natively on a tiny flip-top display.
This isnt the first time weve seen [frostedfires] work on a tiny system stuffed into a Game Boy. The initial post on this build over on the bacman forums just covered the basics getting an Odroid W up and running, and putting Quake III on the tiny display. Now that the build is complete, we can get a look at what it takes to turn a Raspberry Pi clone into one of the smallest portable projects weve ever seen.
Using a Raspi clone as the only component in a tiny portable emulation station isnt possible, so [frostefires] added a few other bits of electronics to make everything work. Theres a joystick from a PSP in there to work as the mouse, a few extra buttons in addition to the stock Game Boy ones, A USB hub, WiFi adapter, speaker and amplifier, a battery and the related charging electronics, and a Teensy 3.1 to handle all the input.
Its a very impressive build that can run emulators ranging from the Apple II to later generation Nintendo consoles and handhelds (including the Game Boy Advance), but since the HDMI connector is availble on the outside of the case, [frostedfires] can also use this as a tiny, portable media center. Check out the video below to see this Game Boy in action, playing Mario Kart and 1080p video.

The latest gizmo that you can make using the cheap and easy Raspberry Pi is here courtesy of [Mark Williams]. He has hooked up an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to the Pi and built an inclinometer to use to measure the various angles of an off-road vehicle.
This particular guide goes through the setup of SDL to control the video output to a small screen. Then, a function is created to rotate the images based on input from the IMU so that the vehicle position can be shown graphically on the screen. Now, when your truck is about to roll over on a hill, youll get advance warning!
Of course, this whole project is predicated on installing the IMU and getting it up and running on the Raspberry Pi in the first place. [Mark] has you covered on a guide for setting that up as well. This delves into setting up the IMU over I2C to get it talking to the Raspberry Pi, and then converting the raw data from the IMU into data that is more usable. Be sure to check out [Mark]s page for all of the code and details!
December 17th, 2014, 00:21 Posted By: wraggsterPinball machines have been created from a single meme, so why not base one on, say,all of them? Liberty Games decided to refurbish an old and busted "Baby Doll" machine with all the cats, doges and "winter is coming" memes they could wedge in, while giving it a tech spit-shine with a 3D printer and Raspberry Pi. First they spiced up the play field with 3D-printed Grumpy Cat, Doge and Actual Advice Mallard figurines and new graphics. All the old mechanical relays were then wired to a Pi to to play meme videos on an LCD screen for certain actions -- like a Rickroll if you lose. We're not sure if the experimental game is actually for sale, but if so, shut up and take my money!

Publisher's Description
In this book, Craig Blomberg addresses the tough questions about the place and purpose of wealth and material possessions in a Christians life. He points to the goodness of wealth, as God originally designed it, but also surveys the Bibles many warnings against making an idol out of money.
So are material possessions a blessing for which we should long? And what are the dangers that the use or abuse of material possessions can produce?
Blomberg expounds upon how the sharing of goods and possessions is the key safeguard against both greed and covetousness. He expands on the concept of giving generously, even sacrificially, to those who are needier, demonstrating how Christians can participate in Gods original good design for abundance and demonstrate the world-altering gospel of Christ.
Is there any one key to keeping possessions in their proper, God-intended perspective?
Are there limits on how rich we should become or on how poor we should allow others to get?
What does a truly Christian economic system look like?
How does the Bibles teaching on wealth fit into the gospel?

Hey there! I'm a Houston native, UT graduate (studio art) and I have been working in design since moving back in 2011. On a typical Friday I am probably having dinner with friends and maybe going by art openings. I love doing everything from going out to new restaurants and bars, grilling at the ranch, dressing up for fancy events or staying in and watching a marathon of some amazing show. My ideal weekend day includes walking and going to brunch. I love to entertain and take care of people and nothing makes me happier than having a crazy impromptu dance party. I like trying new restaurants and bars around Houston and visiting friends in Austin and New York. I'm looking for someone who is adventurous, compassionate, has a great sense of humor and loves what they do. I come from a big fun family and I'm looking for someone who works hard and can have a good time. I love people who aren't afraid to be a little ridiculous sometimes, but know how to turn on the charm and how to use utensils when the occasion calls for them.

That's a first, calling the Mediterranean an "Ocean." France isn't an island, so howz about putting the location into the caption? Some island, which island? Inquiring minds want to know.
I always thought it was the Mediterranean "Sea", not "Ocean". If it is the "most amazing place in the world", where is it? The caption says France. So, what island? What shore? Do you really know anything about where this is? Inquiring minds want to know.

I've had endless experiences leaving recommended barns being disappointed in the way my child was treated by an instructor, the suitability of the pony/horse, or the safety of the facility.
I'm not talking an a-circuit show barn, I'm not even necessarily talking a local show barn. I just want my 7 year old horse crazy daughter to grow up with the love of ponies, a solid riding base, and the ability to navigate around the barn from tacking to turnout (appropriately, supervised, and when ready!). Essentially "prep" for her first pony.
I feel I'm not seeing enough horsewoman skills being taught in the barn. Respect for the animal and their natural tendencies, an unrelenting safety-first approach to being in the barn, trainers losing sight of the fun, trainers losing sight of the memories most of us are trying to make with our daughters when we take them to meet that first paint pony they fall in love with.
When did trainers find it okay to smoke a pack of cigarettes while my 7 year old rides around a HUGE arena on a 16h horse? I'm all for comfort, but how do trainers find it acceptable to show up in the barn in flip flops and a tank top and tell my newbie child how to be safe around the barn? Oh, and as a mom, I'm biting all of my fingernails off when the trainer asks my baby to pick out the back hooves of that pony I just saw the trainer smack when he tried to nip her! Yikes!
I'm not trying to rant, I just want to know if I'm alone in these concerns.
Should I expect more? Who is to set the standards for the riding school? the owner of the facility? the trainer themselves?
What do you think makes a great riding school? From the facility itself to the horses to the ammenities to the instructor!
What are major signs/turnoffs you run into that keep you from going back for lesson #2?
If you've had an exceptional experience at a facility-- what are some of the major pluses?
Encouragement, counter-opinons, comments and other questions all welcome!
And if you have a great trainer give him/her a huge hug of appreciation. The ones that go the extra mile are few and far between!
I'd love to encourage more professionals in the horse business to know that we DO notice the small steps they take to give us and our most precious collectables a wonderful experience!

The Giants have a host of decisions about what to do as players come off the disabled list this week, with Mark DeRosa and Andres Torres expected to be activated on Tuesday.
Cody Ross has suddenly perked up, driving in all three runs Sunday. Aaron Rowand has contributed. Pat Burrell and Nate Schierholtz also have picked up the pace, so it's unclear who will sit with Torres back in the outfield.
In the infield, it seems nearly impossible to dislodge Mike Fontenot from the shortstop spot, which Miguel Tejada had vacated to play third after Pablo Sandoval went on the disabled list.
Will DeRosa play third and will Tejada's playing time decrease? That seems unlikely, and DeRosa probably will return to more of a utility role.
"We're going to be crowded with some nice players," manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday. "It will be hard to get them all playing time."
In addition, Ryan Vogelsong might make it tough to take him out of the rotation when Barry Zito returns from a right foot sprain. Vogelsong allowed one hit Sunday in working 6 1/3 scoreless innings against Colorado.
Vogelsong is 2-0 in three starts filling in for Zito, and the Giants are 3-0 in those games. Opponents are batting .172 against the right-hander.

I do believe you can have great influence through doing group meditations.
In fact, I've read about a number of studies of the power of group meditations.
I even remember hearing a story from the Coast 2 Coast AM radio show where they did some group meditations or visualizations. (Their audience is in the millions of listeners.)
And one time they tried to bring rain to an area that was in a very long and bad drought. I think it was some part of Texas.
The next day after this group visualization… sure as heck it started raining there. And it rained so much that it caused the reverse problem or flooding.
Anyways this is not my main point. I just wanted to illustrate what can happen with a group meditation.
Now herein lies the problem.
If you want to change the world a group meditation only has limited power.
How so?
Because it's usually a one time event.
Or at best a monthly or weekly event lasting 15 to 30 minutes.
How much has the individual doing this group meditation improved in his or her life after doing that meditation?
Probably they feel a little uplifted.
Feeling like they did something to improve the world.
But mostly they remain unchanged themselves. They have improved very little.
And as I stated in the previous email (now a blog post)…
"The best way to "fix" the world is to fix yourself first."
And by the way I've added to and deepened that email on the actual blog post below. So you may want to check it out again if you've already read it.
The Best Way to "Fix" the World
When you make DRAMATIC and BOLD improvements and an EXPANSION of CONSCIOUSNESS to your own life then and only then can you truly say you are making a dent in the problems of the world.
YOU are the KEY.
In you lies the power of the Universe.
But honestly… very few people know how to tap into that power that we ALL have access to.
Now getting back to the inherent limitation of the group meditation.
It's limited not because of the group but because of the length.
If you got that same group of people together and they all did the technique I'm going to teach you in the very near future for one full year our planet would never be the same.
Hence the problem of the group meditation as it's currently practiced is the problem of duration.
It's just too short to make any appreciable changes in the actual meditator.
Imagine how much personal transformation you could make if you found a way to meditate virtually all day long?
While you're at work.
While you're exercising.
While you're eating dinner.
While you're reading a book.
While you're writing an article. (As I am now.)
To really make a planetary breakthrough you need to drop all of your own fears and limitations. You need to burn off your psychological complexes and old wounds.
And there is a way to do that.
And I have had enough people say they want to learn more that I'm going to be teaching you guys this technique real soon via a teleseminar.
(And don't worry, I'll also have plenty of written materials for you to learn from if you are deaf or have other problems with listening to audio.)
Remember I'm going to teach this at absolutely no charge.
The reason why is I also want to see a major improvement in the world. And maybe what I'm sharing can influence you to do the same.
When enough of us do this as a daily practice then the puppet master cabal governments will soon start to crumble.
We are Warriors of the Light just waiting to awaken and defeat this scourge that has been infecting planet Earth for millennia.
So I'm thinking sometime next week I'll schedule this very exciting teleseminar.
I'm very much looking forward to talking with you and sharing what I have learned and experienced with this over the past 27 years or so. But much more so over the last 9 months of using it much more intensely.
Also keep in mind that what I'm sharing is NOTHING NEW.
But if I asked 100 people at the supermarket, shopping mall or football game if they did this daily I'd bet they'd all say no.
You might have to ask 1,000, 10,000 or more people before you found one seriously doing this.
And yet this is something so easy that even a ten year old could do it.
But it takes a strong force of will to do it. Especially at first.
Yet eventually it can become a habit.
And the more you do it, the more you'll want to do it.
The power is given to you only a little bit at a time. At first you are tested if you are sincere.
If you're only trying to gain for yourself and never share anything with the world then this will not work for you.
OK… I've rambled enough to my fellow Superbeings.
Yes you literally have the power inside of you to be a planetary savior.
The key is finding and then unleashing that power.
And the best part about it is you only need to improve yourself and it will happen automatically.
Because you're not just improving yourself when you do this.
You are raising your own vibrations and simultaneously that of the collective consciousness. The higher the vibrations of the collective consciousness the less people will be able to tolerate the constant atrocities happening on this planet.
If most people knew what was happening on planet Earth right now they'd be traumatized. I think many people would even commit suicide if they learned the real truth and suddenly found out that there whole life was a lie.
But everyone needs to know. They have to be aware of what is going on in order to stop it.
Because once they know… they'll have to start taking action to clean things up.
Too many people are in almost complete ignorance of what their governments are really up to. They blindly watch the highly controlled news or TV shows and are oblivious to what is happening.
Even in this day of incredible revelations starting to happen in mainstream media.
One Edward Snowden comes to mind and many other such recent stories
He's an example of the collective consciousness starting to rise.
But yet when I talk about chemtrails to people I meet here in Arizona they don't even know what I'm talking about. It's just really sad the ignorance.
So let's take our own consciousness up by ten levels.
And there will be no way it cannot affect everyone around you.
More to come soon.

"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"It was very easy to design and my proof came quickly to my email for me to confirm. However I was shorted about 3 cards per item i ordered. When i spoke to the customer service via online chat they assured me they would resend me ANOTHER BOX of the invitations i ordered. Needless to say it was an amazing experience and I didn't have to freak out about my shorted cards because i would soon have more than enough to send out. The new box arrived on the date the lady told me they would and they're exactly the same and i was able to complete the amount i needed. THANK YOU WEDDING PAPER DIVAS!"
"I am so pleased with my experience with Wedding Paper Divas. This invite was on high-quality paper. The gold foil is just the right touch of shine that I was looking for. We ordered in a custom color that was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend!!!"
"love these invites. they were the perfect mix of modern and traditional that we were after. the colours are also subtle and chic."
"These perfectly fit the update we were looking for on the traditional black and white invitation. Wedding Paper Divas did a great job editing the wording to reflect my husband's late parents, and customizing the back. We tied them together with Tartan plaid ribbons to add a little extra holiday pop for our December wedding. We received so many compliments and couldn't have been happier!"

Experts recommend boat owners – whatever the shape, size, capacity or purpose of a vessel – do not make the mistake of using a car battery.
Exide SEATOW2.JPG
"It simply isn't built to withstand the vibrations and shocks of boating," says Denis Dwyer, Marketing Director Australia Pacific.
A familiar brand manufactured in Australia since the 1950s, Exide provides a diverse range of marine batteries customized for each application and with unique attributes for safety and longevity.
Exide Marine Starting comes with handles for safer handling, explosion-proof vents, anti-vibration design for longer life and three sizes to suit many popular applications.
Then for Marine Cycling, there is Exide Stowaway, which also comes with sturdy handles for safer handling, explosion-proof vents, Multiple Terminal connectors, anti vibration-design for longer life and three sizes, as well as extra-thick plates and triple separation for multi-cycling use to power up high accessory loads.
For Marine Deep Cycle/Starting, there is Exide Orbital, which boasts faster discharge(starting) and recharge, sealed and maintenance free, Absorbed Glass matt/ VRLA, safe to operate and handle, AFY approval to operate immersed and upside down, longer shelf life and vibration-resistant for longer life.
In keeping with the eco-concerns of today, all Exide lead acid batteries are totally recyclable with over 90% reclaimed by the industry.
"Exide is the only company to own its own smelter in NZ that recycles the spent batteries and returns the lead and plastic for the manufacturing of new products," says Dwyer.
Boat owners should consider multiple batteries due to modern day very high accessory loads, says Dwyer. "One starting, one accessory with a dual battery management system.
"For the larger applications, Exide produces a range of Exide Industrial Deep Cycle products to suit larger boats with high electrical loads, as well as requiring very high starting loads required by inboard diesels.
"This range can accommodate the full gamut of lifestyle needs as well as the critical voltages required by modern computer controlled engine management systems.
"For even larger installations, the full resources of the Exide Industrial division is at hand with electrical engineers to fully specify any application including the charging systems onboard and onshore."
His other tips include:
• Before leaving boat in storage, make sure batteries are fully charged and then check every 3 months, recharge if under 12.4Volts.
• Accessory loads are usually performed with higher reliability with Deep Cycle batteries, they are designed to be discharged and recharged many times over which is opposite from a starting battery, designed to provide high current quickly to start and then go back on charge.
• Conventional lead acid batteries produce hydrogen gas on charge and while discharging, can be explosive and dangerous. Salt water mixed with battery electrolyte creates a toxic gas that can be dangerous to your health.
• Not all "Maintenance-Free" batteries are also sealed, even though they have a flat top, they vent to the atmosphere through a side valve and have free electroltye inside and will spill.
• Exide Orbital and other batteries classified as AGM/VRLA are sealed and have no free electrolyte and cannot spill. They are however valve regulated to protect against overcharge.
Exide marine batteries are sealed, have no free electrolyte and cannot spill.
Exide Technologies is a global leader in providing stored electrical energy solutions. It is the world's foremost supplier of lead-acid batteries for network power, motive power and automotive applications with an increasing presence in emerging battery technologies.
Exide Technologies operates in 89 countries, with 17 Automotive manufacturing plants, 11 Industrial manufacturing plants and 12 Recycling facilities.
Respected brands such as Exide, Champion, Exide Select Orbital, Marshall, Vortex, Sonnenschien, Marathon, Stowaway are market leaders.

DEFINITION of 'Dotcom Bubble'
An rapid rise in equity markets fueled by investments in internet-based companies. During the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s, the value of equity markets grew exponentially, with the technology-dominated Nasdaq index rising from under 1,000 to 5,000 between 1995 and 2000.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Dotcom Bubble'
The dotcom bubble grew out of a combination of the presence of speculative or fad-based investing, the abundance of venture capital funding for startups and the failure of dotcoms to turn a profit. Investors poured money into internet startups during the 1990s in the hope that those companies would one day become profitable, and many investors and venture capitalists abandoned a cautious approach for fear of not being able to cash in on the growing use of the internet.

Hi there!
Hi there! How are you? My name's Neil. Looks like I made it through the picture portion of this contest!! Sweet! I'm a sincere and genuine person with a great sense of humor. If I could get away with joking around all day every day I totally would! Gotta work though, curses! I actually do really like my job and have fun there almost every day. I'm very honest and caring. I give a lot of myself and really enjoy putting a smile on someone's face :) I love kids. I just taught my friend's little boy how to ride a bicycle and I think I had more fun than him! I love trying new things and seeing new places. I just went to Italy for the first time and absolutely loved it! Still so many more places that I want to go... I would much rather share a great experience with someone than have it on my own. I also love learning. I want to learn piano and gymnastics next. I love animals. The way a dog is super excited to see you, the way a cat could usually care less, and the way a horse's nose smells. Don't know what else to say. I'm awesome? And looking for someone else who's awesome? What I'm looking for in my match.. Hmmm... I want a girl who's honest and genuinely cares about others. Someone who isn't afraid to change their routine and go on a new adventure. Someone who would rather go outside than sit on the couch watching t.v. Most of the time anyways :) I'm looking for that special spark with someone! You know what I mean? If you think we'd be a good fit, say hi!

October 30, 2014 - I bought it for my job.I love it.Everybody ask me where I bought it.
October 29, 2014 - Perfect lanyard to wear to work! Doesn't get in the way and I love the retractable cord! Worth every penny!
September 22, 2014 - I got this for my job and everyone comments on it. It's very functional and keeps my I D out of my way. The retractable cord is great if you have to show your I D to someone up close you don't have to take the I D off. I liked mine so much that I bought one for my daughter. She loves her, too.
September 16, 2014 - I got this for my job because my other was just plain and boring. I love how this shows I am animal lover and I support animals.
July 12, 2014 - love it. nice addition to my collection,
