I see a cable on the statue ,,, I assume this is not a wireless speaker?
Customer Service - Q&A
March 28, 2012
Hi Chet:
Yes, this needs to be hard wired. You would also need two if you wanted to run in stereo. Otherwise you will need a bridged mono signal to run a single Dog speaker Full Range. Check out our AMP120 which has that capability (Bridged Mono Output). You could plug an iPod or computer into the Amp and then connect the single speaker from the AMP120 and play the full range signal to the Dog.
March 28, 2012
How does it connect to music source? What about using it inside?
Customer Service - Q&A
March 28, 2012
This would need hard wire it to an amp or receiver to power it, (like our AMP120). It can be used indoor or outdoor.

Love the Dog Speaker!
March 16, 2012
WOW! I bought the German Shepherd dog speaker for my husband to use on our patio and it is fabulous! It looks so real our cats wouldn't go near it. The sound quality is superb even outdoors. We are both very happy with the quality of the product. The description of the speaker on the site is very accurate and true to their promise of high quality build and sound. Our biggest concern now is that someone may want to run away with it. A suggestion would be to have an option to secure the speaker somehow to deter against theft.

I'm a dog lover, anything ...
December 8, 2010
I'm a dog lover, anything dog will get my interest, so when I saw this dog speaker I know I have to get it. When I pick up the dog speaker, the first thing I noticed is the size and look like, I thought it was a real German Sheppard sitting there, OSD did a good job to make this look like a real dog ��� and even better when I hook up at my yard, this dog speaker has great bass and very clean highs.

DS850 Dog Speaker Review
Brent Butterworth
When I was wandering through websites looking for speakers to review in this test, I found companies I'd never heard of. Most were selling generic outdoor speakers, but one - OSD Audio - offered something with an unprecedented mix of cool and creepy: an outdoor speaker styled to look like a life-size German Shepherd."Special purpose," indeed.
I requested the German Shepherd thinking it'd be something I could make fun of, but I was shocked to see how realistic it looked. When my UPS guy - who himself owns a German Shepherd -saw the speaker from a distance of about 20 feet, he asked, "Does that dog bite?" When a friend brought over Winnie, a schnoxie (half schnauzer, half dachshund), she immediately attacked the speaker. I kept placing it down, turning my back for a few minutes, then turning around again and being scared out of my wits when I saw a dog staring at me. It's that good.
BTW, if you're no fan of German Shepherds, check out OSD's almost-huggable new labradoodle speaker. Can a hamster-shaped Bluetooth speaker be far off?
The plastic enclosure is impressively stiff and non-resonant. Inside is a 6.5-inch woofer with a coaxially mounted tweeter - much like the guts of a typical in-ceiling speaker. The speaker fires forward through a grille that's cleverly shaped and painted so it blends in with the look of the dog. It's a mono design, with a single wire hanging out from the bottom, so you'll have to feed it a mono signal or get two dogs for stereo. (For an easier, more affordable way to get stereo, we suggest OSD's FS550 frog-shaped speaker.)
I couldn't connect the dog to my testing switcher because it has only four inputs, and I needed to use a little Yamaha mixer to mono-ize the signal anyway. I also didn't bother covering the dog with black fabric, since Geoff and Lauren had seen it before and would have known what was under the fabric.
Geoff and Lauren both thought that the OSD German Shepherd fell into the "uncanny valley" occupied by some androids and by semi-realistic animated movies like The Polar Express. In other words, it's not realistic enough to look genuinely real, but it's enough to be creepy. What did Geoff and Lauren think of the sound? They both replied: "It's staring at me!" Clarified Lauren: "It's like those sci-fi films where the character suddenly turns out to be a cyborg. I'd rather it be more like a statue, finished like faux stone." But she found that putting her sunglasses on the dog to obscure its stare made her more comfortable.
Geoff's comments were filled with dumb puns, such as "The treble doesn't bite." When I got him to be a little more serious, he noted that the sound was midrange-heavy, with just okay bass extension and not a lot of treble. Still, he loved the idea. I found voices a little coarse and the treble a little emphasized, but overall it was listenable. Lauren agreed.
The Verdict
Obviously, we don't recommend the OSD German Shepherd for serious listening, but as a backyard novelty, it's incredibly well executed - so well that it might even deter a burglar or two
Test Bench
Frequency response of the German Shepherd measures 41 Hz to 20 kHz �7.0 dB on-axis, �6.0 dB avg 0�-30�. Measured impedance is 6.3? minimum, 8? average. Sensitivity from 300 Hz to 10 kHz averages 86.6 dB.

Tyler Seguin C DAL 1 week ago
Seguin had an assist on a shorthanded goal in Thursday's preseason loss to the Lightning.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 2 weeks ago
Seguin failed to find his way onto the scoresheet in Tuesday's preseason loss to the Blues, grabbing a minus-1 rating and a single shot.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 4 months ago
Seguin posted nine goals at the 2015 World Championships, leading the entire tournament.
Seguin brought home gold on a team loaded with superstars, outmatched other teams by a huge margin. Nonetheless, Seguin was the superstar we know him to be, leading the tournament in goals, power play goals with five, and was second overall in shots at 36. The only blemish in his stats were that he failed to add even a single assist to his nine goals.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 6 months ago
Seguin (coach's decision) will not play Saturday against the Predators, NHL.com's Mark Stepneski reports.
The scratch appears to be for disciplinary reasons, as coach Lindy Ruff wasn't pleased by Seguin's late arrival to Friday's practice. While the tardiness shouldn't affect Seguin's long-term relationship with the Stars, it's undoubtedly an unwelcome development for those in the fantasy playoffs that were counting on having the stud forward available. Seguin had produced a point in each of the previous six games, registering four goals, six assists, and a plus-2 rating.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 6 months ago
Seguin collected another two assists in Monday's 5-1 rout of the Sharks. He now has 14 points over his last 10 games.
Guess which teammates on a non-playoff team sit second and sixth overall in league scoring? That's right, Jamie Benn and Seguin, who has piled up 76 points in 70 games while Benn has amassed 80 points in 80 contests. If not for a 10-game absence due to a knee injury, there's a good chance Seguin would be atop the league's scoring perch, something that continues to infuriate Boston Bruins fans around the globe. Seguin and Benn are arguably the best one-two offensive punch in the NHL, and as such should both go in the top ten of next year's fantasy drafts.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 6 months ago
Seguin scored his 36th goal of the season and dished out two assists in Friday's loss to the Blues.
Seguin's been surging of late, recording a goal in three straight games and piling up six points in that span. He sits sixth in the NHL goal-scoring race and is now up to 73 points in 68 games. Keep this stud rolling, as he's fired a whopping 21 shots on goal in his last three games and appears destined to finish his great season on a high note.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 6 months ago
Seguin scored his 35th goal of the season on Monday, adding a team-leading six shots and a minus-3 rating in a loss to the Flames.
Seguin is seventh in the NHL with 35 goals this season. However, it looks like he's unlikely to top last year's total of 37 goals and 80 points. That's in large part due to injury. His scoring was on pace to clear 40 goals if he played a full 82 games this season.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 6 months ago
Seguin scored his 34th goal of the season and had an assist in Saturday's win over vancouver.
Seguin is now up to 69 points in 66 games, with early-November marking the last time he went more than two games without recording a point. With 11 power-play tallies and 258 shots on goal, the 23-year-old fantasy stud is a must-start every game.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 7 months ago
Seguin recorded two assists and the winning goal in the shootout in Wednesday's triumph over the Flames.
Seguin returned from a knee injury on March 7 and has immediately settled back into a nice rhythm, racking up four goals and four assists in his first nine games back. Despite missing 10 games this season, Seguin still ranks tied for 10th in the league in scoring with 67 points.
Tyler Seguin C DAL 7 months ago
Seguin netted a power-play goal in Saturday's dominant 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Seguin made an immediate impact after returning from a knee injury two weeks ago with two goals in his first game back, and has tallied two goals and an assist in his six games since. While that output is less impressive than what we've been accustomed to seeing from him, Seguin is liable to explode at any time, as his seven games of three or more points on the season would illustrate. Keep him active in anticipation of the blowout performance.

Vanilla-Bean Ice Cream
Bring the milk, cream, vanilla bean, and half the sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, cover, and allow to steep for 1 hour.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Gradually whisk 1⁄3 of the liquid into the yolks, return this mixture to the saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until it coats the back of the spoon. Strain this custard into a container, and chill in an ice bath. When the custard has cooled, cover it, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Transfer to an ice-cream machine, and process according to directions.
Toasted-Almond Sablé
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Beat together the sugar, butter, and salt in a mixer fitted with a paddle. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans into the creamed butter.
Add 2 cups of the chopped almonds, then mix in the cake flour until well combined. Roll this sablé dough into a 3-inch-diameter log, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 hours. Cut the log into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Place these sablé cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, about 8 to10 minutes. Cool the sablés on the sheet.
Chocolate Liquid Crunch
Melt the two chocolates together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, add coconut oil, and heat until dissolved. Keep the liquid lukewarm until ready to pour over the ice cream.
To Serve
Place one sablé on each plate, and top with a large rounded scoop of ice cream. Drizzle the chocolate liquid crunch over the ice cream until covered, and serve immediately.
A roster of extreme deliciousness (at modest prices).

great tour
Reviewed by: Mary P, September 2015
This tour was really interesting and fun. We used headsets so it was easy to hear the guide as we navigated the narrow streets to the museum. We had several stops along the way where the guide shared stories of why the area was important to Picasso and then showed us pictures of work produced that was influenced by that area. Our guide was so knowledgeable and obviously passionate about Picasso, history and art in general. The tour of the museum was enhanced as we had heard about the various phases of Picasso's art and then could see it as we toured the museum. Wonderful experience!

Your house is full of teens now. It is so much fun watching your younguns grow up. Liam is a handsome young man. I think he resembles his Dad quite a bit.
"One minute he's sitting on the living room carpet in diapers and an ocean of wooden train tracks, and the next you look across the table at Miller's and your father looks back at you."
Such a powerful piece, as always, and the above line just blows me away!
Happy Birthday indeed to Liam!
A great piece executed with your trademark wit and
humor ! You will always be a unique voice in the
wilderness !
Happy Birthday Liam and Julie.. on this day 21 years
ago I too was giving birth !
I just spent 10 minutes trying to prove I'm not a robot.
I can't believe how long I've been reading your blog. Liam was so little, and now he's a young man. What a wonderful journey watching him grow up. Your heart must do flip flops when you look at your children. They are a delight to behold. Happy birthday to Liam.
So so been there, done that. They grow up too too soon. We remember, we remember. Oh, yes, we remember.
The human capacity to remember is a curse sometimes, and a blessing always.
Best wishes to your man-boy, and to you--Mom--and to Dad & elder sister.
Running XC? Excellent choice for a young person to practice self-discipline....good for Liam!
Happy Birthday, Liam! The teen years are like a lock on a river - you barrel in and the water rises and you are floating up up up to your older self.
Julie, thank you so much for letting me enjoy your family by this blog. Happy Birthday Liam.
I just told Sylvia yesterday as she was chewing on Corn that he used to have hair, as you can see by the first picture of sweet Liam. Jeanne
Liam, I don't know you personally but I know what your Mother shares (almost typed "Mether!")--and you are one lucky & wonderful 13-year old with a lucky family to surround you with love and to help keep you safe. That includes Mr. Chet Baker, of course. Happy Birthday!! And Happy Trails. This post by your Mom brought me to tears.
Oh, my, tugging at my heart. He will forever be that sweet Po in my heart. I remember his sweet baby self in the hospital. If I close my eyes, I'm rocking his sleeping weight back to sleep in the rocking chair in his room while you and the band are out for a gig. He's lost his picey in the night and needed some soothing to get back to sleep. Tell Liam I love him, thanks for the memories and helping make me the mother I am today, and that Kane is wearing that striped shirt in the deck picture these days. ~Desdie
Wow, can't believe he's now a teenager! I so remember photos of him playing with trains and dinosaurs five years back. :c) He's grown into such a handsome young man. Happy belated birthday Liam!
Happy belated birthday Liam.
Our boys are 30 and 32 and long gone from home.
On Nov 24 the younger is getting married in Las Vegas.
The older just bought a new house.
If you like what you see, and are tempted to lift something for your own use, you need to contact me and play Mother May I.

Forbes Columnist is Wrong about Full Expensing
Today, in Forbes, John Tamny offers his take on Donald Trump's recently released tax plan. Tamny is skeptical of Trump's recently released plan:
It's surprisingly generated a lot of...
The federal income tax has traditionally allowed a deduction for state-level income taxes paid. Recently lawmakers also reinstated a deduction for state sales taxes paid as well. The provision had previously been eliminated as part of the 1986 tax reform, and was revived by Congress in 2004.
However, the federal sales tax deduction is only a temporary provision, and may expire soon if Congress doesn't renew it by October 15th—a deadline set by the Internal Revenue Service for items to be included on next year's tax forms. From Sunday's Los Angeles Times:
Just about every lawmaker in Congress favors extending a batch of popular tax benefits approved during President Bush's first years in office and authorized through 2005.
But in a case study of the tortuous process that can surround even the most highly regarded proposal on Capitol Hill, extension of the tax benefits appears to face an uphill road as Congress nears adjournment.
The benefits, claimed by more than 10 million taxpayers last year, give those who live in states without income taxes a deduction for their state sales taxes. They allow a deduction for some college tuition. Teachers may deduct the costs of buying supplies for their classrooms. And a research and development tax credit — hugely popular in the business community — is also part of the package.
But so far, these and 43 other tax benefits have become ensnared in a partisan battle over a minimum-wage increase, which Democrats and some moderate Republicans want, and a sharp reduction in the estate tax, dear to the hearts of conservative Republicans...
Some lawmakers, including at least one powerful Republican, are pushing for Congress to break the deadlock.
"Taxpayers could miss out on valuable benefits through no fault of theirs," Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the tax-writing Finance Committee, said last week. "I urge the House and Senate leadership, both Republican and Democrat, to take this problem seriously."
Grassley warned that time is of the essence, saying that Internal Revenue Service officials have told him Congress must approve the benefits extensions by Oct. 15 if the changes are to be included in 2006 tax forms. That means Congress, which plans to adjourn at the end of this month to campaign for the November elections, has only two weeks to act. (Read the full piece here).
In the past, we've argued against the various credits, deductions and exemptions in the federal income tax code—including the deduction for state and local sales taxes—because they ultimately force up tax rates by shrinking the federal income tax base.
Here's our section on the federal deductibility of state sales taxes, from our analysis of the final report of the President's tax reform panel in November 2005:
Eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes Both plans would eliminate the current tax deduction for state and local taxes which removes more than $320 billion from the federal tax base. The estimated value of these deductions in 2006 are $49.4 billion. This proposal will expand the tax base and reduce the tax code's complexity. The common critique of these deductions is that they partially subsidize state and local spending; therefore states and localities do not fully realize their true costs. Without the deduction, this distortion is removed. Lastly, some argue that the deduction eliminates double taxation of income; however, allowing the deduction gives a greater benefit to those who live in high tax states and localities. It is more economically neutral to eliminate the deduction than to allow some groups to benefit more than others. (Read the full piece here.)

K-25's North Tower bites the dust; demolition project nearing end
OAK RIDGE — The skeletal structure of K-25's North Tower came tumbling down with a boom Wednesday morning, marking another milestone in the decades-long, billion-dollar effort to stabilize, tear down and clean up one of the oversized nuclear legacies of the World War II Manhattan Project.
The government's cleanup manager, URS-CH2M Oak Ridge (UCOR), invited members of the news media and others to witness the occasion at the former uranium-processing site now known as the East Tennessee Technology Park.
At the time of its construction in the early 1940s, K-25's mile-long, four-story structure in the shape of a "U" was considered the largest building in the world under one roof.
Only a small fraction of the original structure still stands, and it won't much longer.
After the mass of demolition debris from the North Tower is removed, the remaining challenge will be removal of the six uranium-enrichment cells at the southern end of K-25's East Wing.
Those units have been segregated due to the presence of radioactive Technetium-99, which was introduced into the process systems decades ago. Because Tc-99 is considered a mobile, special hazard in the environment, great efforts will be made to contain the contamination during the demolition and removal of components and debris.
Mark Whitney, DOE's environmental cleanup manager in Oak Ridge, said the agency and its contractor hope to start demolition of those units in the fall. Between now and then, there is much work ahead to better understand the radioactive contamination there and prepare for the safe removal and disposal of the building and its equipment, he said.
The demolition of the North Tower has been on hold for several years because of the debate over preservation, and DOE project manager Jim Kopotic called Wednesday's action a "huge milestone."
In 2005, DOE signed an agreement promising to salvage the North Tower as part of plans to commemorate the site's historic role in development of fuel for nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors. However, following a 2006 accident, in which a worker was hospitalized after falling through a weakened floor, DOE decided the building was so deteriorated it was unsafe for workers to refurbish.
After long, drawn-out negotiations, DOE reached a new agreement with preservation groups. The federal agency is committed to spending more than $17 million on various projects. Those include construction of a new museum-like facility and visitors center at the former K-25 site and other historical initiatives in town — including preservation of the Alexander Inn, once a home away from home for visiting dignitaries in the early atomic age.
Kopotic said the total project cost of K-25 demolition is set at $1.4 billion, although he said it's expected that UCOR will save money and complete the work at about $1.1 billion. The federal official said the cost estimate includes money spent over many years on cleanup studies and preparations, and removal of enriched uranium deposits from the miles and miles of processing pipelines — as well as the money spent on actual demolition that began in 2008.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Trey Johnson scored 34 points, including five 3-pointers, as Jackson State beat Alcorn State 86-70 on Saturday night for its third straight win.
Johnson scored 16 points in the first half as the Tigers (9-7, 3-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) overcame a slow start to build a 46-32 lead at halftime.
Johnson's steal and layup with 11:50 left in the second half put the Tigers ahead 59-39.
Alcorn State (2-12, 1-2 SWAC) pulled to within 76-64 on a 3-pointer by Clifton Douglass with 3:40 remaining. But Johnson nailed his fifth 3-pointer of the game 15 seconds later to seal the Tigers' fourth win in their last five games.
Jeremy Caldwell added 12 points, Julius Young and Garrison Johnson had 11 each for Jackson State, which shot 50 percent for the game.
Jarvis Williams and Delvin Thompson led Alcorn State with 12 points each. Juan Wyatt added 10 for Alcorn, which shot 34 percent and committed 17 turnovers.

This feels like half-robe, half-wrap dress.
But when you are pregnant, robe-lite wrap dresses can be a comfortable DELIGHT, so whatever; I have no beef with that, conceptually. But I think the Wonderbread color scheme on those four bits — two on the lapels, two on the tie — make it look ESPECIALLY like pajamas, and I end up feeling vicariously tired and wishing that someone would just excuse her and let her go home and put up her feet. She'd be welcome over here, but it won't be really hopping until I've acquired those crackpot new Cappucino potato chips to try. I haven't had those or Mango Salsa, but VMA/Emmy weekend is the time for salt binges for everyone except the attendees, and those flavors have a LOT of work to do on me to beat Bacon Mac & Cheese. All of which ties back to this post because…. I would maybe wear that dress on my couch while I'm sampling.

NHNE Mission Statement
The mission of NewHeavenNewEarth (NHNE) is to answer humankind's oldest, most perplexing questions: Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we headed? What is the origin and purpose of life?
Instead of relying on ancient or contemporary wisdom, or the knowledge of isolated experts, we are building a global network of seekers from all walks of life, from all parts of the world, lay people and professionals alike, that can pool talents, experience, and resources to unravel life's great mysteries.
We also believe that our planet is passing through a time of profound change and are seeking to create a global community of like-minded people that can safely pass through whatever changes may come our way and help give birth to a new way of life on our planet.
Current Websites
The Formula for Creating Heaven on Earth
"Unlike spiritual paths that arose from the ideas and inner experiences of lone, isolated human beings, the path presented by near-death experiences is emerging as a direct, grassroots revelation that millions of people from all over the world are receiving and sharing. If we explore this newly emerging path deeply enough, we discover that all religions, philosophies, and cultures are honored; that science and spirituality are celebrated; that both the human and spiritual side of our natures are cherished and embraced. In short, near-death experiences present us with a universal, all-inclusive, perfectly integrated spiritual path that revolves around three core truths: 1. We are all one; 2. Love is the essence of life; 3. We are here, in this world, to become perfect embodiments of the Divine."
Some of the most inspiring, informative, and deeply compelling near-death experiences (and related phenomena) ever recorded.
Life-changing, modern day encounters with Jesus via dreams, visions, visitations, near-death experiences, and other spiritually transformative experiences, as well as historical encounters.

There's no doubt that expatriates are leaving Dubai, although we don't dispute that foreigners are also moving to the emirate; however, we don't have figures from the local government to prove anything. But that hasn't stopped experts from hypothesizing.
According to Cairo-based EFG-Hermes, Dubai's population is likely to decline to 1.49 million from 1.79 million in 2008, a 17 percent drop, it said in a report published in March.
Many believe that when the academic year ends in June, Dubai will experience a mass exodus of foreigners. Over 24 percent of respondents to Kipp's poll say they will be uprooting their families and moving once the school year ends this summer.
Another 7 percent said they will be leaving because they have been made redundant and are unable to find work in Dubai.
Other respondents, however, have commitments in the emirate and are unable to relocate: 16 percent of Kipp's readers say they have debts in Dubai, and cannot leave, while 12 percent are ready to move if they find work abroad.
On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of respondents, 41 percent, answered "No. I love Dubai."

I love these suggestions- have all except the tea kettle- will get one. It is reassuring to know I haven't forgotten anything major, as I am new to hosting, and a distance host as well as this is our out of are vacation home. I am an RN and leave Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, Tylenol, gas RX, constipation RX [travelers often have these problems] bug repellant, and sunscreen for guests... also a sewing kit and glasses repair kit. These items can be obtained in small quantities in the travel sized section of stores and the dollar stores.
James Dickinson
Dr. Nancy- you are a windbag. If someone pricks their finger- I would rather they clean it and bandage it, rather than bleed all over a sofa or bed! I did not know that registered nurses were so A-R. Every rental should have these kits available. I even have an ointment for those who accidentally burn their hand on the tea kettle! You must not travel much.
Lauraine Newmark
First Aid Kit is a good idea thanks, didn't think of it!
Liz Kukulka
Great list..glad to see that I have most of what's on it already! Yes, I do have a tea pot!! The safety items I might be missing some, thanks for the suggestions!
Julia Randall
I disagree about the hair dryer suggestion. Altho I rent a "up scale" house, hair dryers frequently disappear. With 3 bathrooms and often 3 different kinds of hair dryers, I can appreciate how renters do not know who has brought what with them. Thus I buy the smallest and cheapest as backups assuming the renters have brought their own with them. (hope this helps.)
Fred and Louise
Thank you for the tips!!We have 8 of 10 and definently, will add a kettle.
I also make certain that I have new toothbrushes, toothpaste
Eleanor Perry
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. We appreciate them.

Dr. Nancy Cochrane
I do not agree with No.8, First Aid Kit, as it is not the owner's responsibility to provide health care aides. That could render an owner with exposure to legal risks in personal injury suits, especially if the first aide kit sets up an expectation that this would "cover" any emergency situation. As a Registered Nurse, I would warn against this, and put a caustionary note that tenants should provide their own health care insurance and first aide supplies.

NDS highlights for Saturday, October 21
Expand Messages
I hope I'm not the only one thoroughly enjoying the writing and
photographs of David Hodges:
There is a permanent link to David's journal on my home page:
SANDEEP and MELODY:
What comes to me, as I write this
now, is Adi Da's quote from earlier
today in which he said describes
the "unqualified state" of awareness in
"The zero of the heart is expanded as the world.
Consciousness is not differentiated and identified.
There is a constant observation of subject *and*
object in any body, any functional sheath, any realm,
or any experience that arises."
This is witnessing (constant observation) of the undifferentiated
un-identified Consciousness at play.
Who does that?
That's exactly my question!
The moment one 'witnesses', isn't one
then in a 'differentiated' state of awareness?
How can a 'differentiated' consciousness *observe*
an 'undifferentiated' Consciousness at play?
When I am 'witnessing' ......it is not the 'Undifferentiated'
I am witnessing,
but the 'differentiated' field of play.
Witnessing, from my experience, is simply
a great method for detaching from any
*identification* in that field of play.
But when I am witnessing, there is still "two".
It's just that I am no longer identifying with
either one of those "two".
Whoever, whether you call him/her a sage or Micky Mouse, that entity
is still within phenomenality.
Otherwise, witnessing is not possible.
Any and all "dreams" (that is, phenomenally-experienced
realities) are itself, are this unsplit moment.
The apparent splits and continuities that give
dreams their appearance are known as "not
having ever occurred" as reality simply is
unsplit and noncontinuous. This knowing
seems secret, because is cannot be articulated.
However, it is simply and clearly present,
because it doesn't depend on articulation.
It is because
of the constant "breaking apart" of dreams,
even as they occur, that the dream sequencing
is never "tight". It is as if I, seemingly
"in" this dream, know that the entire dream is
myself. As I speak, I speak to myself, within
myself. The unfolding dream is a sequence of
moments, but the sequencing is broken "now" --
as awareness. So each moment is timeless,
is the only moment that is.
Each now-moment is "only now", regardless of apparent
unfolding. No now-moment is registered "in
reality", so all dream is known as dream,
as always only "unsplit nowness".
The dream of a "nondual moment" is known as
a dream-moment, and the dream of a "nondual
moment" is known as a dream moment.
That each can be distinguished from the
other is fine, is discrimination.
Discrimination knows itself as "mind alone".
Thus, these discriminated moments,
and their relative qualities,
are known as always unsplit,
unqualified, non-registered
and nonretained reality --
as there is only "this mind",
which some have called "Mind Alone".
Even as this dream unfolds as time,
there is no dream, only the timeless.
Time is the timeless.
That which we call "Mind Alone"
clearly is not that name,
clearly is unnameable.
With no location, how could
it be identified?
LOTHAR and SANDEEP:
> Who observes that "I" have left?Lothar:
Well, the me-entity A F T E R it's been constructed anew.
So no observing takes place in the moment, it is only in recollection,
in the memory of "an" experience, that the conclusion of the "I"
having left
during a past event is arrived at.
Secondly as you rightly indicated there is once again a "me-entity"
into the picture.
Whether it is the old one pretending to have learnt a new language of
meditation, "I- leaving", Advait, non-duality, whatever or maybe a
brand new
"me-entity", is really immaterial.
Can it be seen, it is the same circle again, fleeting glimpses and
then the
flip-flop, the "me", the "not-me"?
Round and round the mulberry bush.

> of an 'after' or 'before'...
Oh that something, some behind the scene giggling, is going on, can be
noted, is noted.
All I am saying climbing 126 stairs, you do notice the crossing over
the 125th to the 126th, but if the 126th is to be the last step for
biological computer labelled "Lothar", the "me-Lothar" will never know
fact, if and when that occurs.
Apperception (just another terminology) is not subject to memory
And yet identification with the biological computer may continue for a
period of time.
Where it has not, history has no record of such entities for obvious

That there is no perceiver to attain the apperception.

The end of "personal" identification with either the experience (any)
or the
apparatus through which experiencing happens.

If apperception is taken to be acausal, non-volition, then being in
meditation is no obstacle for the occurrence.That might well be the
role for the bilogical computer lablled "Lothar".
Yes what is an obstacle is the personal identification with the state
one is
in, whether that be in meditation, or being drunk on some cheap German
(Sorry Lothar, I go French with the wine, maybe once in a while some
Californian Chardonay)
> I'apperception
> don't quite understand how you are clearly identifying something to
> be an experience...you must locate that transition, the
> occuring', somewhen, right?Sandeep:
In the phenomenal context, experiencing, actioning, whether as
thoughts or
actualized external behaviour, continues all the time through a
computer during it's "alloted life-span", through the billions of the
dreamed characters.
And in no instance there is an "experiencer", a "doer" in any of the
individual dreamed character for any of the experiences, or for any of
deeds which got occurred.
And since enlightenment, awakening, apperception are all events in
phenomenality, even for these so called profound events, there is no
getting enlightened, getting awakened, or receiving apperception.
> Do I understand you correctly when I summarize what you'reSandeep:
> essentially saying as "When there is no non-doing now, you cannot

> meditating for that specific purpose?
All this stuff and methodolgy involved in that stuff, of transcending
to go to No-Mind is hilarious.
Who moves from Mind to No-Mind?
"You" cannot make "doing" happen and "you" cannot make "non-doing"
Both are non-volitional happenings, if they happen.
...you stop being a seeker and become a finder, instead... it's
really that simple :-) get your dictionary and remove words
like 'spiritual', 'non-dual', etc... give up every idea of a way you
need to go... the only reason for your going that way is that you
want to find that place where you then can rest, right? So why not
sit down right now? IMO, every walking on a way is spiritual ego
building... accept everything and everybody as already perfect,
especially yourself...feel whole and complete! and then you have all
the time in the world to start to play, love and laugh.
Melody had written:
I have not known moments in which the nondual AND the dual was seen at
exactly the same moment.
This bears on the age old conundrum of multiplicity in unicity. Here's
relevant Nisargadatta quote from Miguel Angel Carrasco's site "Asmi"
http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/umbada/asmi6a.htm :
"The state of identity is inherent in reality and never fades. But
identity is neither the transient personality (vyakti), nor the
karma-bound individuality (vyakta). It is what remains when all
self-identification is given up as false - pure consciousness, the
of being all there is, or could be. Consciousness is pure in the
beginning and pure in the end; in between it gets contaminated by
imagination which is at the root of creation. At all times
remains the same. To know it as it is, is realization and timeless
peace. (395)"
Here's another good one:
"There must be love in the relation between the person who says "I am"
and the observer of that "I am". As long as the observer, the inner
self, the higher self, considers himself apart from the observed, the
lower self, despises it and condemns it, the situation is hopeless. It
is only when the observer (vyakta) accepts the person (vyakti) as a
projection or manifestation of himself and, so to say, takes the self
into the Self, the duality of "I" and "this" goes, and in the identity
of the outer and the inner the Supreme Reality manifests itself. This
union of the seer and the seen happens when the seer becomes conscious
of himself as the seer; he is not merely interested in the seen, which
he is anyhow, but also interested in being interested, giving
to attention, aware of being aware. Affectionate awareness is the
crucial factor that brings Reality into focus. When the vyakti
its non-existence in separation from the vyakta, and the vyakta sees
vyakti as his own expression, then the peace and silence of the
state come into being. In reality the three are one: the vyakta and
avyakta are inseparable, while the vyakti is the
sensing-feeling-thinking process."
XAN shares some words of HAFIZ:
Your whole mind and body have been tied
To the foot of the Divine Elephant
With a thousand golden chains.
Now, begin to rain intelligence and compassion
Upon all your tender wounded cells
And realize the profound absurdity
Of thinking that you can ever go Anywhere
Or do Anything
Without God's will.
BOB shares a talk from
" The whole system is really very much like a plant that is sitting in
ground, and it rains and this thing reaches up and absorbs the water;
roots go out, and grow and spread. Its a very casual, a very natural
you don't find a plant screaming and jumping up and down in anyway and
disturbing its potential. It really manifests its potential by
whatever energy, whatever nourishment is put to it, and it grows. And
you in
your own mind have to understand that. Your sitting here has to do
assimilating, by taking your nourishment and growing. And if you are
breathing and having your attention inside and feeling these muscles
and absorbing and digesting as a conscious thing, then nothing is
Because it's like sitting in water and this thing will stay on the
bottom. It's not going up and circulating, so this energy that you are
given, the information that you are being given, just lays there and
rot you out. Because it will lay at your feet, it will just lay there
eventually you will get ill.
You have to really take and absorb, and really feel this thing
in you, feel the energy coming down from the mind through all the
through your sex organs and moving up your spinal column. It's very,
essential. Otherwise, you are sitting and listening and you are
agreeing and
disagreeing and you are going through a whole number and this is not
what it
is all about. It's that you really inside feel the flow of your energy
coming down then feel it at the base of the spine and feel it go up
and you
are absorbing.
And as you grow, and as you really keep growing up and up, you will
transcend yourself and all of the things you are concerned about. All
your problems will be drawn into you by this root system as a tree
and it will go up and up and all the problems that you think you have,
that your are born into will disappear because they will be absorbed

Get on the track to master the art of french cooking in cooking classes such as these. As we said, it's not surprising that cooking classes in Paris have become very popular — everyone love to eat the food, so why not learn how to make it at home?.
If you know us — and our love of food — it's also not surprising to hear that we love enrolling in them. There are a broad range of classes available, whether you're a beginning cook or expert. If you haven't already, take a look at the classes we recommend in Part I of our Guide to Cooking Classes in Paris, or check out the classes below. Feel like a Paris Insider for a few hours!
When we dropped in on this class, a small group was learning how to make the outrageously popular macarons in the well-equipped kitchen.
Did you know Marie Antoinette was mad for them?
Discover the magic that goes into making macarons as well as éclairs, millefeuille and homemade ice cream with exotic ingredients like geranium and lavender.
With this food activity you can elect to start out with a tour of one of the city's best open air markets. Or, you can start right in the kitchen.
The cooking course is a hands-on experience with only a few other people, so you know you'll get personal attention. You will prepare a complete, 3-course lunch menu — from entrée to dessert.
When the cooing is done, sit down and enjoy your work with your fellow students.
In a building right on the Seine, this cooking school offers many options for morning, afternoon and evening classes.
There is also a tour of one of Paris' best outdoor markets, followed by a cooking class.
The owners, American Jane Bertch and her French husband Olivier Pugliesi-Conti, go out of their way to make sure their customers are happy.
With the renewed popularity of Julia Child, the Cordon Bleu courses for amateurs have exploded. Cordon Bleu offers an array of half-day and full-day classes perfect for those wanting a taste of traditional French cooking and history.
We spent a full day at Le Cordon Bleu cooking duck magret and other classic French dishes. Read about our experience in our culinary travel memoir, How to Cook Bouillabaisse in 37 Easy Steps, available from us with free shipping. (Also availabe at Amazon.)

Amsterdam - Day 3
... around 11:00 and retired for the evening. Our overall impression of Amsterdam is a good one. It's an interesting place to hangout, not the least bit intimidating, easy to get around, not too expensive for a big city and inhabited with seemingly positive, friendly residents that tolerate if not enjoy the millions of tourists they host each year.

First of all I would like ...
Our first taste of The Netherlands
... nation in the world with the average height being 6ft, they even had to change building regulations to increase the height of doorways 2. The Dutch are really beautiful - blonde hair, blue eyes with slightly olive skin, need I say more? 3. There are a lot of bikes - in fact there are more bikes than people with close to 900,00 bikes and 800,000 people The city of Amsterdam is incredibly picturesque with it's endless canals and majestic buildings, its certainly a must ...
