First large scale release of nanotechnology product provokes concern
An international action group has expressed its concern following the largest environmental release to date of a product created using nanotechnology. A solution intended to prevent erosion has been sprayed on 1,400 acres of Taos Pueblo Native Indian land in the US after a fire destroyed 5,000 acres in an area which is considered sacred by the First Nations community. The fire left the mountainside exposed to erosion and threatened the community's water source.

The Ethics of War and Peace
The Ethics of Cyberweapons
How do we fit the cyber realm into an established system of ethics created to manage and mitigate the impacts of kinetic military action?
Assessing the Ethics of Intervention
How should we assess the ethics of intervention? The policymaker has two initial approaches, the "morality of intentions" versus the "morality of results."
Ad Fontes: The Question of Rebellion and Moral Tradition on the Use of Force
On the older conception, the sovereign could use force against behavior that he understood as endangering the order, justice, and peace of his political community. But the division of Europe into Protestant and Catholic polities changed that.
An Ethical Nuclear Posture for the 21st Century?
What is the appropriate role (and size) of a U.S. nuclear force that would make both strategic and ethical sense? The U.S. still possesses some 4000 nuclear weapons.
International Peace: One Hundred Years On
Americans have registered one set of lessons too well—those deriving from the seventy-five year war against German imperialism and Soviet communism. They have forgotten, or want to forget, another set of lessons—those deriving from the history of U.S. involvement in the Philippines and Vietnam, in Nicaragua and Panama, and on to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Peace as a Transnational Theme
To consider war and peace purely in the context of international relations is insufficient, even anachronistic. What we need is less an international than a transnational idea of peace.
Concepts of Peace: From 1913 to the Present
The Great War and its imagery imprinted itself on the human imagination. In poetry and prose, photography, art, film, and other modes of expression, its influence on cultural memory and identity, on modern meaning and human sensibility, has been remarkable.
Viewing Peace Through Gender Lenses
Feminist theorizing of peace suggests a number of transformative observations. Feminist perspectives focus a critical lens on the meaning of peace, often making invisible violence visible; help to critically interrogate the role of the United States in furthering "peace" in the international arena; and make different theoretical and policy prescriptions than perspectives that omit gender from their analyses.

Attending medical school has always been a privilege for the special few, those with the requisite smarts and stamina to make it through the grueling marathon that is med school and medical residency. Of course, it's also an expensive proposition. With most medical students taking on heavy debt to fund their dream, finding the best and most cost-effective student loan is essential.
Fortunately, there is plenty of financial help available for medical students. But remember: you must apply for federal student loans for medical students by filing a FAFSA, and you should first exhaust grants, scholarships and your other federal student loan options (especially Stafford Loans) before tapping Federal PLUS or private student loans for your graduate education, since both carry a higher interest rate than Stafford Loans.
Here are a few advantages of Federal PLUS Loans for graduates:
At Citizens Bank, we want to help you find the financing solutions to make your educational goals a reality, so we offer the Citizens Bank Student Loan which includes:
You can find helpful information about financing options from Citizens Bank including our Citizens Bank Student Loan™, a private student loan to help fund medical school.

text: Sempervirens Album Capsule OPIO: "Sempervirens" means always living. Both FTR and I have a common goal of making timeless music. We spent countless hours out in nature. Walking the rugged coastlines of the northern California coast and writing and recording in groves of the giant redwoods. This time spent away from the chaotic concrete jungles we both live in recharged our batteries and set the stage to create art off of the renewed energy from our inspiring journey. To me in a way the album is very psychedelic but it's not druggy. It's more psychedelic in the terms of me sitting in the woods and clearing my thoughts and mind. When I emerge from the psychedelic experience I feel more powerful, stronger, whole and then this is my creation from that renewal of self. FTR: As much as my productions have had a tendency to stray in strange directions over the years, my roots are in Hip Hop. The making of Semepervirens was therapeutic for me. It brought me back to my roots, with a decade worth of new ideas that defined FTR. I spent most of my years creating in solitary, and finally finding the like minded Opio to build with just felt right. I feel like we are both going through a re-birth, and with that, we both have been able to create with no expectations; just open minds. We spent a lot of time in different environments in the making of this album, but it was getting back to nature that kept us grounded and inspired.Continue Reading Download

Learn more about the values that underpin this global elite firm - transparency, stability and global integration.
Latham & Watkins has been named by The American Lawyer to its prestigious "A-List" for the 12th consecutive year. The American Lawyer assesses firms in four comprehensive areas — including revenue per lawyer, pro bono commitment, associate satisfaction and diversity.
The firm is strengthened enormously by the diversity of our lawyers, paralegals and professional staff worldwide. Our commitment to equal opportunity enables Latham to draw from a remarkable wealth of talent to recruit and retain the best lawyers, professional staff and paralegals to create one of the world's leading law firms.
Watch a video to learn why diversity matters at Latham.
Latham's commitment to equal opportunity is reflected both in our lawyer population and in our management. Lawyers of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations have long been represented on the firm's management committees responsible for promotions to partnership, recruiting and training, among others. This diversity extends throughout our firm, office, and department and practice group leadership. Moreover, Latham's chief officers, directors and practice office administrators bring additional diversity to firm management.
The Latham & Watkins 2L Diversity Scholars Program awards US$10,000 non-renewable scholarships to select second-year law students upon acceptance of an offer of summer employment. Since the inception of the Scholars Program in 2005, Latham has awarded more than $500,000 in scholarships. Learn more about our 2016 2L Diversity Scholars here. Applications for the 2017 2L Diversity Scholars Program will open in the summer of 2016.

We seek students who are committed to promoting inclusion and diversity in the legal profession and who also possess a long-term interest in practicing law in one of our US offices.
1L Fellows will spend the first five or six weeks of the summer in one of our US offices and the remaining portion with one of our clients. 1L Fellows will also be invited to attend our Diversity Leadership Academy and will be provided with other unique training and mentoring opportunities for the duration of their time in law school. Successful participants in the program will be invited to return to the firm, for a minimum of eight weeks, the following summer. Upon acceptance of an offer to return as a 2L summer associate, participants will receive a US$10,000 scholarship through our 2L Diversity Scholars Program.

The Latham & Watkins Diversity Leadership Academy, April 1-3, 2016, in San Francisco, brings together Latham attorneys, our 1L Fellows and other talented first-year law students from across the United States with a specific focus on developing and empowering future leaders of the legal profession and creating community among our lawyers, recruits, and 1L guests, all of whom share a commitment to diversity. This training and development retreat will provide first-year law students with the information and skills needed to successfully navigate the law firm interview and hiring process, and transition from law student to practicing attorney. Participation is firm-sponsored and includes hotel, meals and travel.

Respond to Review of Bamboo Garden Vegetarian Cuisine
by michellem
Review: This is just straight up not good, and my standards are pretty low. The chicken nugget appetizers were gluten in about half an inch of soggy deep fried crust, and the mongolian beef was just chewy and gross. The wait staff was lovely, though! You can definitely eat better vegan food in Seattle.

Births From Fertility Treatments Hit 5 Million Mark: Report
Latest Pregnancy News
MONDAY, Oct. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Five million babies have been born using assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization since the late 1970s, according to a new study.
The first "test tube baby" was born in 1978, and by 1990 there had been about 90,000 such assisted births worldwide. That number grew to about 900,000 by 2000 and to more than 2.5 million by 2007.
Since 2007, about 2.4 million babies have been born via fertility treatments, according to the study, which is scheduled for presentation Monday at the International Federation of Fertility Societies and American Society for Reproduction Medicine annual meeting in Boston.
"This comprehensive report confirms that we now have over 5 million babies born through assisted reproduction," IFFS board member Richard Kennedy said in a federation news release. "More than that, it shows that half of them have been born in the last six years. The number of babies born through [assisted reproductive technologies] is now about the same as the population of a U.S. state such as Colorado, or a country such as Lebanon or Ireland. This is a great medical success story."
Another study presented at the meeting found that retrieving more than 15 eggs from a woman for use in fertility treatments leads to an increased risk of complications, but only a small increase in the likelihood of having a baby.
Researchers analyzed more than 250,000 fertility treatment cycles performed in the United States from 2008 to 2010. They found that removing 16 to 20 eggs instead of 11 to 15 eggs increased the live birth rate from about 39 percent to nearly 43 percent, but raised the risk of a complication called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome from 0.93 percent to 1.67 percent.
When more than 25 eggs were retrieved, the live birth rate was nearly 42 percent, while the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome rose to nearly 6.5 percent. The findings suggest that it may be necessary to reevaluate the appropriate number of eggs to collect, the researchers said.
Because the research was presented at a medical meeting, it should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

"I helped the kids in and outside the program; if they ever needed anything from me they knew they could call me anytime they wanted to," said Johnson. "I was giving so many people rides to meetings and rides home because I wanted to make sure they all had opportunities and needed to be there."
About 120 to 150 students regularly attend functions of the Black and Latino Achievers Program, which is available at all nine Capital District YMCAs. There are volunteer opportunities that were new this year and very popular, said Abrahams, and the program brings in mentors and speakers from various professions to help students navigate their future. The students can also go on college tours and get help finding jobs or internships.
D'Aundra Murray, also a senior from Shenendehowa High School, took advantage of all the opportunities that could affect her future and participated in so many "resume builders" (as she called them) that she applied for and was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to the College of Saint Rose.
"I was really excited because getting my financial aid packages from other schools was kind of surprising, like 'This is a lot of money that I'm taking out as student loans, I'm going to have to pay back' and that's when I was affected by the economy," said Murray. "If I take this opportunity and scholarship I'll be ahead of most people coming out of college because I won't have student loans to pay back. It wasn't even a decision. Nobody offers you that much money anymore."
Murray played a big part in organizing a Black History Month display case at the high school that held books, artwork and information.
"I was the person running it, organizing it and making sure it looked good and that's what I felt I accomplished," said Murray.

The World's 7 Greenest Vehicles
According to Wikipedia a 'vehicle' is a:
mobile machine that transports passengers or cargo. Most often vehicles are manufactured, such as bicycles, cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats and aircraft
But somehow a 'green vehicle' is a:
road motor vehicle that produces less harmful impacts to the environment than comparable conventional internal combustion engine vehicles running on gasoline or diesel
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Wikipedia, but I do find it a little ironic that 'green vehicles' are pigeon holed as cars. Because on a full lifecycle emissions basis cars really aren't that green compared to other options.
Here's my take on the world's seven greenest vehicles.
7: The Nissan Leaf
I thought I'd be charitable and include a car. After all a huge chunk of global passenger kilometers are from automobiles, so better cars are hugely important for the future. I've plumped for the Nissan Leaf as it is the leading all-electric car in Japan, the US, UK, Norway . . Using low carbon electricity electric car emissions are down around 50 g CO2e/pkm (passenger kilometre), almost all of which comes from vehicle manufacturing.
6: The Intercity Coach
It may surprise you, but the typical Stagecoach or Greyhound diesel bus can often have lower emissions per passenger kilometer than the best electric car. That's because intercity buses travel at efficient speeds on highways, have decent occupancy and tiny manufacturing emissions as they are spread over so many passengers. I've seen a bunch of studies ranging from 35-85 g CO2e/pkm.
5: The School Bus
This one is probably even more surprising, but school buses typically have quite low emissions. Not because they are über efficient, or that they do smooth highway miles, but simply because they have such high occupancy. Emissions per passenger kilometer are typically in the 20-50 g CO2e/pkm range.
4: High Speed Rail
High speed rail can be very low carbon, particularly with the right juice. We've taken the Eurostar and TGV from London down to the Pyrenees a couple of times with emissions about a tenth of what a flight would have been. The largely nuclear electricity in France means emissions of 17 g CO2e/pkm on their high-speed network. Typically emissions are from 10-60 g CO2e/pkm depending on fuel source.
3: Light Urban Rail
Any form of electric train can provide very low carbon miles if it has the right juice. Busy trams, metro or light rail systems can also have low emissions. The example below is from Bergen in Norway, where hydro power is dominant. Lifecycle emissions can range from 10-50 g CO2e/pkm depending on fuel source, efficiency and occupancy.
2: The Electric Bike
Guess how many electric bikes there are in China today? 200 million!! That number floored me when I first saw it. Almost 30 million e-bikes will be sold in China this year alone. That is about half the number of passenger cars globally. In coal reliant China an electric bike has average lifecycle emissions of 22 g CO2e/pkm. Depending on fuel mix they are typically in the range of 5-30 g CO2e/pkm.
1: The Flying Pigeon Bicycle
The 'Flying Pigeon' is the most popular vehicle of all time. More than 500 million have been produced since 1950. Based on the 1932 Raleigh Roadster the popular model came in black, with one speed, 28 in (710 mm) wheels, a fully covered chain, sprung leather saddle, rear rack and rod brakes. This is an old school classic. In China, where the diet is relatively low carbon and electricity carbon intensive, this bike edges the eBike at around 10 g CO2e/pkm.
What is missing from the list?
This isn't the most scientific of lists, and I get the feeling I must be missing some options? You can get a better grip of the data in our 5 Elements of Sustainable Transport post. The one thing that really surprised me in this post is the rise of electric bikes. It is about 90% a China story currently, but the rate of growth in Brazil, Europe, India and even the US is really impressive.

Bob Meinetz says:
Lindsay, how did you arrive at your figure for the Flying Pigeon? Not trying to be nitpicky, I understand these results will be wildly divergent depending on assumptions.
For comparison, Mike Berners-Lee's book How Bad Are Bananas comes up with the following for cycling:
40g/pkm CO2e: powered by bananas
56g/pkm CO2e: powered by cereals with milk
124g/pkm CO2e: powered by bacon
161g/pkm CO2e: powered by cheeseburgers
1736g/pkm CO2e: powered by air-freighted asparagus
These assume the rider is on a production western road bike, which weighs about one-third as much as a Flying Pigeon.
Lindsay Wilson says:
Hey Bob, sorry missed this. It is a straight multiplication of the average additional energy use required per mile cycling times the average carbon intensity of food supply in China, plus a tiny bit for the manufacturing.
I've seen various studies for cycling based on average diet in the 10-35 g CO2e depending on the country, and hence the diet. Never seen number like the ones above, but I guess I've never done individual foods before.
I don't know the Berner-Lee source. Fromt he look of the numbers perhaps they also include the standard metabolic energy, rather than just that of the cycling itself? But like I said I don't know the numbers, I'll see if I can find them
Bob Meinetz says:
I'll look for those calculations too. Again, it's easy to get silly with this stuff; tire inflation pressure and the road surface may dwarf the difference between most foods.
The most important thing I took away from my previous post had to do with the importance of sourcing food locally. Nonetheless I'm suspicious of the numbers - here in Los Angeles our bananas come off a freighter from somewhere, which can't be too much better than airfreighted asparagus.
Lindsay Wilson says:
Food miles are only 10% of food emissions, and air miles are incomparable to shipping: http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/food-miles
Bob Meinetz says:
Wow. Thanks for that - very enlightening.
We should be mandating a skull-and-crossbones label for airfreighted produce.
Lindsay Wilson says:
That didn't take long. The couple of studies I've been looking at have the excess energy of cycling at 15-20 kcal/mile. Berners Lee has it at 50 kcal/mile. The low carbon Chinese diet explains the rest.
On the Average European diets my cycling number rised to about 20 g CO2e/pkm

Tell me how far will u go
Would u take the life of another
Will u be the one to say no
Forgive and forget when you die my love
Never will i see the sun again
Leave it, just leave it alone
Your picking the scab off another
We're digging the dirt to expose
The answers to all that we do not know
Never will I see the sun again
Never will I see the sun again
Where were u monday
where were u monday
i was not missing i was dead

Feeling Revived
Jan 5, 2013, 10:44:24 PM
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
I am feeling.
What I am feeling is in my core.
My heart.
My soul.
My being.
Everything is nothing.
Nothing is everything.
Words. Ideas. Impressions. Sentences. Language. Communication. Thoughts.
A means to expression.
Root. Menial. Weakness - perceived weakness.
Desires, sins.
The definition of good and evil.
The concept of war.
The beginning of all ideas.
We are not human.
We have allowed ourselves to become human -
Our existence is immortal.
How many times can a person die within the confines of their own flesh?
As many times as they feel it.
As many times as they allow themselves to Live.
To Love. To be broken.
To rise again from the ashes and rubble of destruction and heartache
Only to Love and Feel again fully and completely without restraint.
Human is the lowest upon the spiritual totem.
Condemning ourselves to a mediocre existence
And for what reason?
Rock bottom.
We've created our own hell.
We're just seconds from a black hole-
Gravity pulls -
because what do we do?
We affirm and reaffirm our own existence
In asserting that notion
we assure our own destruction.
We contradict ourselves
Because that is what is in our nature-
Black isn't white
White isn't black
Black is white
White is black
What happened to Clarity? Lucidity?
Splitting off shattering-
Imagine the impossible as possible
You do as you read a story written outside the bounds of "fact."
Who is to say those words are fact or fiction?
As to the one writing them they are certainly fact.
Why not to the reader?
Unlock the box of conventional knowledge you have created with the help of others and placed yourself into.
Disregard general population knowledge for just one moment.
Quit judging and rationalizing with the words you think you know so well.
Everything around you is a perception.
An illustration of someone's mind.
A projection of a nation.
One part of a bigger whole.
An idea.
By realizing who and what you truly are, you can create what you feel- inwardly.
And proceed to project that outwardly-outworldly-outpersonly.
Because LITERALLY anything and everything is possible.
The only limitation is the chain that shackles you to this "Reality."
Solid box to
Just on the other side-
You allow yourself to start to see through the bars, through the window-
But once the door is opened-
How many birds have had their wings clipped?
How many want to fly?
How many can and will?
How many will cower in the corner awaiting the door to be closed again?
How many remember?
How many have forgotten?
What has freedom become?
Seeing opens doors.
Who is to say what the definition of something is?
What the lines of reality holds- what the boundaries are.
I've heard many a great man say that to break the rules, you have to know them.
Does anyone realize that that applies to everything in this world of rules and words and knowledge?
Especially in this day and age where we've decided as a whole that physical audible words and auditory communication and charisma are so important? And needed to sway someone? The population.
Government. Politics. Arguments. Debates.
Why is there government?
What does Govern mean?
To Conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or People). The People.
To Control, influence, or regulate (a person, action, or course of events).
To Control The People.

If your behavior is controlled,
Do You have control?
What of school?
An institution for educating children.
Institution - A society or organization founded for a religious, educational, social, or similar purpose.
SOCIETY A collection of people living together in a more or less ordered community.
The community of people living in a particular region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations.
What has society become?
Education - The process of receiving or giving systematic instruction.
Systematic - Done or acting according to a fixed plan or system; methodical.

How to do something.
To do.
To - Expressing motion in the direction of a destination

Brainwashing To Make someone accept radically different beliefs by using systematic and often Forcible pressure.
News. Media. Government. Schools. Religion.
Understanding. Comprehension.
Does anyone know the rules of "Reality"? Has anyone thought to write them out so that everyone in this giant melting pot will understand them?
When you realize that good and evil don't exist- black and white are two sides of the same coin, forever existing, yet somehow never seeing each other, feeling each others' backs and always being there- but somehow never seeing eye to eye
Those two can coincide because when they feel each other and just let what is be- they gain complete Clarity. 360 degrees of all knowing, and for us, a circle is what is complete. It's why our arrogant heads are mostly round-ish; it's why the stars and planets are elliptical.
That mass of continuous energy is constantly moving- rotating at such high speeds- vibrations- tones, melodies, that feeling of consciousness-
When we feel that, we want to see what it is we are feeling.
Because Seeing is Believing.
Because we are one with everything and everyone.
We are the center of our universe. We are our own individual universes.
That's where our physical realm manifests into a picture. A scene. Nature. Everything.
That's where words and thoughts come into play.
The realization that we are creating what we feel. What we WANT to FEEL.
Logical "rational" mindset disproves this. Says this is impossible.
Because why, exactly?
Society decided what exactly?
What we see as a whole.
Fact or Fiction.
Fiction or Fact.
They are only words.
You choose what they mean.
A fabrication of one's mind.
Synonymous with fiction.
And yet, somehow by using science and words Inventions are turned into Reality.
Fiction has the capability of becoming Fact.
One only has to find the proper words and "scientific" procedures to make as much happen in this narrow minded world.
What is magic compared to science?
What is science compared to magic?
Science is using logical thought to explain what we feel. What we see. What we've created.
Logical thought.
There it is.
Just linger on that for a moment.
What is logical?
If a child can look at a math problem and without even touching a pencil or the paper just somehow know what the answer is- and they are right every time in a mathematical sense-
Who is to say what they are doing in their head is wrong?
Who is to say that they must write it out on paper for all to see?
Such mundane creatures that walk in their own prescribed existence.
How they choose to allow their own fates to be decided for them!
How they force the children into a miserable existence because they are afraid of themselves, and so the children, too, should be afraid.
How they- if they so felt in their hearts the pureness inside them- they could create that of which they felt. Whatever they felt to be- would be!
Those connections and rationalizations behind the impossible would be considered a bend in the rules.
Every single perception is correct. Every single story that has ever been told is true. Because truth, Words themselves- are just a means of explaining and expressing a feeling.
There is only one certain way to feel a feeling- but only you can feel that feeling. Now anyone can take and put words to that feeling and it would be how they felt that feeling- and those words would be true and correct, because it was a means of a way to describe that feeling to someone else who is yet unable to share in that feeling with you.
Feeling is transparent. Clear. Lucid. Everything and Nothing.
Our past. Our memories. Our hopes and our dreams. Our upbringing. All influence the words we use to describe a feeling.
The books we read. The movies we watch. The music we listen to. Our individualized experiences.
All of that has an effect on who we are right here and right now.
An affect, an influence but these words, these experiences do not make You, me; anyone who they are.
Who a person really is comes from inside.
From the heart. The soul. The spirit.
From the courage that resonates from ones being.
Feelings do not need words. They are felt, not spoken.
Awareness of senses.
And yes, sometimes the obvious must be pointed out, because many times, we miss that which is right under our noses.
We forget that we came into this world without a voice- without words, but instead with eyes full of wonder.
We are creatures of feeling.
But we are also full of what are now and have been defined as virtues and sins.
Ending resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, disagreement, or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.
Mercy. Compassion.
The voluntary giving of help.
Benevolence. Generosity.
Constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken; persistent exertion of body or mind-
Close attention to what one is doing.
Attentiveness. Without distractions, or maintaining them.
The quality of being modest and respectful.
Humble. Egolessness.
Not focusing on the sexual aspect of living as a creature that can procreate. Abstaining from unlawful sexual intercourse. Not forcing someone else into sexual relations.
Chaste. Morally pure in thought or conduct; decent.
The quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
Like. To find agreeable, enjoyable, or satisfactory.
Affection. Adoration.
Moderation or self-restraint.
control over excess,
sobriety, clear headedness,
and their opposites:
Forceful, often vindictive anger.
Malicious. Cruel. Mean. Nasty. Hateful.
Remorse. Regret. Shame. Guilt.
Loathsome. Bitter.
An intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.
An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.
Reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness.
Hesitation. Indecision. Uncertainty. Laziness. Idleness. Reluctant. Doubtful.
A feeling of pleasure from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is associated, or from qualities or material possessions.
The idea that one is superior over another.
Disdain. Disrespect. Distrust.
Contempt. Sarcasm. Mocking. Denial. Arrogance. Vanity. Haughtiness. Conceit. Smug. Braggart.
Cynical. Pessimistic. Sardonic.
Uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness.
A passionate or overmastering desire or craving.
Intense eagerness or enthusiasm.
Unrestrained desire.
A shallow want in another's physical body.
Covet. Rape. Bloodlust.

Jealousy. Grudges. Resent. Disgruntled. Resentment. Rancor.
Habitual eating to excess.
Lacking self- discipline.
Mind you, these are simply words to describe a human in seven parts. On both ends of the spectrum.
As a generalization, people are almost balanced, and if they aren't they have the capability.
If you imagine 7 orbs, stacked in a sort of seven layer snowman, or 7 layer cake-
even as ROY G BIV(red, orange, yellow, green. blue, indigo, violet), giving each orb a color and a place.
Taking those colors and assigning them to each part of yourself, you begin to feel and play with your own energy and realizations are made and dots are connected.
Most of your colors are going to be perfectly fine, in the sense that you can access them and you have control over them, because, /words/ haven't invaded those energies.
But, some areas might not be as easy. Accessing those parts of you might make you hurt, but that hurt is only perceived- in fact that hurt may not be hurt at all but a revitalizing epitome that sets you completely free.
Free from what?
The confines of your self-imprisonment.
Maybe you take the chakra approach and associate the color red with lust and desire- and maybe you feel it in a different manner, and associate pride with the color red. Every experience will be one's own. Words are merely a way to put an idea into prospective perspective.
Or you say 'the hell with this bullshit, what are you talking about with colors and orbs?'
I would understand that too.
A closed mind is often as firm as stone, and almost just as immovable.
But even a marble slab can hold a beautiful creation within.
Because if you hear anything
not from me -
within from yourself your being
locate words -
hard to find -
a means to explain what is going on around you
around us
what we've created -
the smartest thing to say is not
to say anything
don't let it come undone
if I tear open my mouth
it will just be to bite my tongue
pose murder with open mouth-
conjure up a phrase to cut to bone
keep quiet
listen to your voice
the power of your words
can fix all you've destroyed
I'll swallow my pride and
show you
The real reality the true being
complete without the worries of society because that true self is that of a spiritual essence
An essence of feeling.
Sensation. Emotion.
Feeling all.
Their soul and energy is unlocked.
When the mirror is empty - they can see
both worlds for
what it really is
Touching the mirror
is different than
sitting before it
looking into -
seeing past it.
Taking an idea and personifying it.
An idea.
A feeling of energy that we can grasp in our mind and
our being
Wants and Dreams.
The destination.
We lie to ourselves because
We've forgotten how to start the journey.
Or because we've forgotten where it is we are going.
Seeing opens doors
But feeling the door open
Really, truly does open it.
Optical illusions
Real is what is
Truth? Correct?
Optical illusions are real
real lies
lies are true
what is isn't
what is not, is.
The rules of Reality?
1. There is no black or white. No good or evil. There is only pure intentions. Those are swayed and contorted by the user and in turn society.
2. All reality is - is a projection of our imagination. Reality is perceived consciousness.
3. To change the confines of reality, you must have one opposing force a yin force to your yang or vice versa, in essence that believes and feels your perception. This balances out any possible manifestations. Because while Anything is possible, so is Everything.
We are our beginning and our end. We choose our path and we choose our own destiny.
But we have to want it. We have to feel it in ourselves.
Free will is a choice.
You have to want it. You have to take it.
It will not be handed to you if you live for everyone but yourself.
Still not getting it?
You're like the good third little piggy who built his house of brick?
Of cement- some miserable man-made substance that speaks of your arrogance and superiority,
because you think you know?
While you're so fearful to face the mirror and look at yourself- and then go even deeper and face yourself for who you are inside and out-
You're too busy pointing out everyone else's faults- you thrive in your shallow continuation
while groups are becoming enlightened -you continue on your miserable path of gravitational existence
Now, watch as words define irony
And that zombie apocalypse everyone is talking about and hoping for- actually happens.
Maybe just not in the way you expected.
When you see all
and feel all
Look at a person who is in their complete right mind- as in they're seeing clarity- everything as is-
their eyes dilate, even larger than if they were in the dark.
When that next step is taken
And that enlightened person realizes they can do whatever it is they want and feel and please
In every sense of the words
They can create their own existence or rather feel themselves to the one they wish to be in-
Dimensions are going to open up all over the place- and those peoples "minds" are in a sense going to leave their bodies.
The residual electric and brain waves, and any potential instincts that are left in that physical body will remain; and thus zombies in the sense of a word will have been born.
Now take a step back- why should there be any irony at all in this situation.
Especially when it's already happened Happening.
A zombie is defined as a soulless corpse. A corpse is defined as a dead body.
Undead. "Technically dead but still animate."
No longer alive. No longer feeling.
Now look at the majority of those that reside in the confines of society.
Where is the life? The vitality? The feeling?
Are You living? Or are you doing exactly what everyone else wants you to do?
Anything and Everything in the sense of imagination and
projection in the sense of stories and prophecies foretold-
all of that is and will happen.
Limitless. Boundless. Without restriction or regard to humanity.
All that needs to happen is a proverbial domino effect.
All it takes is one person to believe. To open their eyes to what really is.
Once that happens, it's this beautiful tidal wave that washes over everyone and everything.
A clean slate where literally anything goes.
We hold the future in our hands at this very moment.
Do you feel it?
Can you allow yourself to feel?
Everything is real in the sense of being.
We physically choose what we see and mentally project.
Just as society has done for us.
You can color in the lines of a drawing that has already been created for you,
or you can create your own masterpiece.
It's your choice.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
That saying rings true- as you can lay out everything for a man.
But he chooses what he wishes to believe.
Rational or not.
Because in the end, who is it who decides what is rational?
What is real?
What is the definition of a certain word? And in turn the meaning associated with that word.
Words are here to make you feel something.
Same with Art. Pictures. Nature. Sensations.
We thrive off of each other when we have a "clear" or rather solid physical means of existence- which is why we favor our bodies so much and revel in vanity. But when we realize our flaws are only skin deep, and that our beings are beautiful and the definition of perfection - we open our minds and worlds to so much more possibilities.
Taking metaphors literally:
A herd of black sheep.
With one white lamb - that's seen as the black sheep of the group.
But why? When that sheep has the desired wool
The rarity.
It's only a choice. We wear our skins in much the same way.
Remove your wool.
What's the soft silky downy fur underneath feel like?
Do you remember

Salesforce.com eyes West Side
The San Francisco-based cloud computing giant has been seen looking for huge office space in Manhattan's emerging Hudson Yards neighborhood.
Fast-growing Salesforce.com is eyeing the far West Side of Manhattan for office space. The software and cloud computing giant, which has expanded its office space on the West Coast and in London, has been scouting sides for a huge office space in Hudson Yards, according to the New York Post.
Recently, the tech company took 74,349 square feet at 685 Third Ave. Two years ago, the San Francisco-based company acquired Manhattan-based Buddy Media, a social-media software firm, for $745 million giving it a bigger presence in the Big Apple.

One of the most tragic things about modern politics is that it's practically impossible for the average American to understand what's going on without an interpreter. By that, I mean that the "Saving Kittens, Baby Pandas, and Puppies Act of 2011" may actually be a bill that gives $10,000 tax credits to lawyers who defend sleazy zoos from negligence suits.
From there, things only get worse because the newspapers blindly parrot whatever the liberal line is on the bill, the establishment Republicans say one thing, the Tea Partiers say another, and most people are left scratching their heads trying to figure out what the bloody hell is going on in a 2000 page bill that's released to Congress about 11 minutes before they get around to voting.
Still, there are certain oft-repeated shibboleths that you can safely interpret without having to tune into the Rush Limbaugh show or Right Wing News to figure out what's going on. Let's talk about a few of those.
1) It's for the children: Whatever new programs our politicians come up with are certainly not "for the children." If politicians were honest, most of them would tell you that they'll start caring about "the children" the moment they can vote them out of office. Even then, the pols wouldn't actually look out for the kids; they'd just do appearances with Justin Bieber and push bills that give away free candy.
Does that sound cynical? Well, here's the rejoinder to that: Our politicians have run up a 14 trillion dollar national debt by spending money today that our children will have to pay off tomorrow. The only thing we can do for "the children" that matters at this point is to start paying off that money.
2) We have to pay for those tax cuts: This is like a tick saying that a dog needs to "pay for the blood" it didn't get to suck earlier in the day. We have to pay for expenditures, like flying the Obamas around on their zillions of vacations and the taxpayer funds we poured into GM and Chrysler to bail out the unions. However, allowing people to keep more of the money they earned isn't an expenditure.

I have lost a LOT of weight, and most people I know are supportive and proud of me for reaching my goal. Today someone told me I need to regain at least 10 pounds because I look "sick".... um, really? I don't think so, and no one else seems to think so. I don't know where that came from, but for some reason it bothered me. I did regain about 5 pounds from my lowest weight, and I am happy where I am. I guess I should ignore this and move on, but for whatever reason it is sticking in my craw. I think part of it is fear that maybe I do look too thin. I couldn't see the reality of my physical self when I was morbidly obese, so maybe I can't see reality now that I am thinner? I noticed yesterday that I still don't really look at myself in mirrors, so I am going primarily on how I feel, how my clothes fit and the scale. There is also yesterday's hypothermia... maybe that was still noticeable today? Sigh. I have no answers.
On a happier note I had a lovely, active day. (Day 734 of my fitness streak.) Went kayaking for over 2.5 hours this morning on the Buffalo River. I was very happy to be paddling my own boat again. Came home, stopped by the Post Office to pick up a package, then went for a fast run. And I do mean fast! It only took me 11 minutes to do my 1.5 mile loop. I haven't been out for a run in about 3 weeks, so I figured a short run would be good. I didn't realize it would take so little time. LOL.
After my run I took the dog out for a 40 minute walk and did a little yoga and stretching. Plus I did a little ST. It all felt really good!
Now I am going to make a big pot of beef stew, then a batch of muffins. I consumed a lot of calories at breakfast and lunch, but I am probably going to stay within range today anyways. And I already burned off all those calories, so I need to eat more to fuel the rest of my day.

Some people say things like that because they are jealous. Other times they may say it because you did lose a lot of weight and they aren't used to seeing you thin. I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds like you had a very active day.

You should do the no-happy-pants-dance for her and see how she likes that! I swear if I had a hankering for mass quantities of alcohol and a camera, we would all know what that dance looks like and we would all just hang our heads in shame and let the image retreat and not burn our retinas!!
Be careful with the hyperthermia. It's way too early for all that mess up there!

You look great - healthy and active. I hope you don't let that person rent space in your head too much longer.

Steady weight is a sign of good health. Weight loss is often an indicator of serious illness.
Just think of how hard you've had to push yourself outside of your comfort zone to lose this much weight and you might discover that nothing about their comment was insulting.
(Weight loss can be absolutely terrifying to see in another person, and my first reaction in seeing it in men is that they must be dying of AIDS. I've just seen it so many damn times, it is the first place my heart goes.)
Also, more proof that this journey is for you and not about what anyone else thinks!

Go with how good YOU FEEL!!! Woo Hoo! Look at how strong you are ~ What a great time for your run. Your stew and muffins sound so good. It is one of the beatiful things about fall. I made lentil soup yesterday and plan to make bran muffins today. Enjoy!

glad you are feeling better today- and look at you go- must have some of those wings on your shoes
. Don't pay much heed to the 'comment' - unless it came from someone whose opinion you trust, who has journeyed with you through the ups and downs of weight loss, or has a personal stake in your health and happiness is it really important? My guess it came from someone who hasn't seen you in a while and probably is feeling convicted by your success and energy. You don't preach healthy living- you live it!

If you feel comfortable with your weight and you are feeling healthy and your Medical Provider is also comfortable with it, than don't worry about what anyone else says.

Many people feel uncomfortable with change and they feel a need to stop it or put it back. Sounds like it is their problem not yours. Great blog

If you are happy with your size and fitness and your Doc is on board too, you should just chalk the comment up to that persons issue.

are you at a healthy weight for your heighth? if so, than i don't think you have anything to worry about. skinny/thin people can have as much trouble as obese people. i witnessed it with one friend and i have read about it in various places. people see someone skinny and say, wow, you're really skinny. it's the same as saying, wow, you're really fat or looking at a fat person. most people won't make remarks to a fat person, but they have no problem saying something to a skinny person. for a lot of people, being skinny is the same as being fat. where one can't lose weight, the other can't gain. it sure would be nice if people quit judging one another and kept their comments to themselves. sorry that happened to you.

A couple of years ago, after I'd lost about 100 pounds, one of my fellow nurses was telling me how great I looked. Then, he hesitated, and asked, "Er, you aren't sick, are you?" (No)
