How to Properly Use the Law of Attraction
Adrian Cooper,
[This article is an excerpt from Our Ultimate Reality, Life, the Universe and the Destiny of Mankind]
Quantum physics describes the energetic characteristics of the Universe and therefore the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction. We know from even the most fundamental basis of quantum physics that everything in the entire Universe is pure Energy, differing only in characteristics such as rate of vibration. Quantum physics also acknowledges the fact that Energy is influenced by Energy, and like Energy attracts in accordance with its unique vibration; this is the very basis of how the Law of Attraction works throughout the Universe.
This truth can easily and unambiguously be demonstrated by means of a pair of tuning forks. If one tuning fork is placed a distance from the first fork and the first tuning fork is struck thereby emitting a sound at a certain pitch or frequency, which is in fact vibration, then the second tuning fork some distance away will then start to vibrate at exactly the same rate of vibration, and accordingly the vibrations are attracted to each other. This is a very simple but observable demonstration of how Energy and vibration influence the Universe.
It is also very important to fully understand that Energy simply does not stop when it ceases to become measurable by the restrictions of physical scientific instruments. In fact the extent of the Energy spectrum that can be measured by scientific instruments is extremely small by comparison with the entire spectrum of Energy in the entire Universe, and not just the small, observable, three-dimensional aspects of the Universe.
Energy exists all the way to The Source of all Energy, The First Cause, God, Who exists at the highest frequency of Energy of all. Everything is Energy including thought, we live, evolve and have our being in a thought Universe, and it is therefore the Energy of thought that brings about creation, just as the entire Universe , the ultimate act of creation, started as a thought in the Mind of God, just as everything in the Universe now, including ourselves, are all thoughts in the Mind of God.
Another very important aspect of quantum physics is quantum potential, describing how everything that exists already potentially exists in the Universe; everything that exists now, ever existed and ever will exist already exists at least at the quantum potential level, and it is the process of observation, i.e. focussing your attention on something that will cause the quantum potential to shift into quantum reality.
The Universe in which we live is a huge expanse of pure Energy vibrating at varying frequencies from the very highest of The Source down or more specifically outwards to the Universe of physical matter, forming the outer physical shell, the epidermis of the Universe as a whole as observed by science and experienced by the five physical senses. The experience of separateness is nothing more than illusion projected by the way that our physical and inner senses interpret that same Energy. As mentioned before, the The Source, the Universe, God experiences Him/Her Self by differentiating into the observer and the observed; this is why humans exist as individuations of The Source, The First Cause, of God, and how God experiences and expresses through us as individuated expressions of God.
Just as our senses and Mind interpret the Energy around us, we similarly influence that Energy whether conscious of it or not, and it is that same influence that determines the reality as experienced by each and every person, whether that reality is positive, negative or neutral. Before Energy is observed it therefore exists as probabilities, the very act of observation influencing the Energy to manifest as an actual observable event rather than a mere quantum probability from the quantum potential of the Energy. The importance of quantum physics is discussed more The Wisdom of Quantum Physics chapter of this book, and is well worth reading again before reading this chapter.
The Law of Attraction is an extremely important Universal Law, and an aspect of the Law of Cause and Effect or Causation. Understanding and consciously applying the Law of Attraction enables us to manifest anything at all we desire into our individual reality.
Like everything in the Universe, we are all beings of Energy, extensions of The Source Energy, always attracting into our own individual realities similar Energy in complete accordance with the thoughts we vibrate. As we already know, the entire Universe is Energy and all thoughts are Energy characterised by vibration, and therefore thoughts attract precisely those Energy that are in harmony with the thought you hold in your Mind and are therefore vibrating and projecting into the Universe. This same Law applies whether your thoughts are positive, negative or neutral, and the effects will be in precise accordance with those thoughts.
Like The Source, we are all therefore creators within the Universe, co-creators with God, infinitely creating by the powers of the Mind whether we are conscious of it or not. Most people are not yet aware of this fundamental, powerful and empowering truth, and accordingly have no control over their own life, always ascribing things to such notions as luck, fortune and chance.

Another fundamental truth is ask and it is given. There are no exceptions to this Universal truth. The instant you make a request to the Universe, The Source, God, which will be sent, transmitted and received in the form of unique vibrations of Energy, it is instantly granted, there are no exceptions. A reason for this is that we are all here to evolve back to the First Cause by utilizing our own freewill, and accordingly the Universe will never, ever fail to grant whatever we believe we need at any time in order to evolve; however large or small.
We all learn by experience, so if we for example believe we need a castle in order to progress, then the castle is instantly granted so that we might learn of our own freewill, by experience, that we ultimately do not require a castle in order to evolve, being, as it is, merely a physical object of materialism demanded by the ego. The Universe can just as easily provide any such object in the physical world; nothing is ever too large or too small.
Where most people who understand these realities experience difficulties is not in the asking but in the receiving. In order to receive anything it is necessary to be in vibrational harmony with whatever is to be received. This is an absolutely fundamental aspect of the Law of Attraction; like Energy attracts, and since any material object, be it a house, car, money or anything else is pure Energy, then it should be clear to everyone that the person attracting the object has to vibrate the same Energy in order to attract and be in total harmony with it.
Again, this simply cannot be stressed highly enough; everything in the Universe is pure Energy, an aspect and extension of The Source Energy, and all Energy attracts like Energy by manifesting in total vibrational harmony with it. This is a reason that upon passing on from the physical to the non-physical worlds during the process erroneously known as death, everyone is automatically attracted to that exact part of the Astral or Spiritual words that is most vibrating in harmony with the Soul and Spirit, and which in turn is determined by the state of evolution of each individual. This is how all evolution takes place, including our own evolution back to The First Cause, back to God. As we evolve, the vibrations of our Spirit are always in perfect harmony with the vibrations of the level of the Spirit worlds to which we progress.
One of the most fundamentally important things that anyone can and should do therefore is to be totally, consciously and permanently aware of The Law of Attraction, and to live in Spirit as a conscious co-creator of the Universe. The person that understands and lives by these truths fears nothing, always existing in a state of joy in the knowledge that anything we need we can always attract every time; ask and it is always given; all we need to do is to understand how to receive.
As you begin to fully understand these realities and integrate them into your Consciousness, seemingly amazing things will start to happen in your life. You will begin to attract everything you desire, people will appear in your life, circumstances will manifest, all in tune with your vibration, all being attracted to you by what you are vibrating.
As your entire existence changes in accordance with your vibration you will know within every part of your being that you are indeed a co-creator in the Universe, and will henceforth approach life with joy and enthusiasm. Enthusiasm in fact is a highly appropriate word to define your state, being a derivative of the Greek word en-theos, which literally means in God. To live in God or in Spirit, en-theos, is to be in harmony with The Source, The First Cause, God of which we are all immortal, Divine aspects, having our existence as we do within the Mind of God.
To live in Spirit is to let go and let God in the full realisation, knowledge and joy that as immortal Sons and Daughters of God no harm can ever come to us. We all create our own realities by the thoughts we hold in our Minds, but beyond the thoughts we hold in our Minds we should all know that God only is Pure Unconditional Love, and nothing negative can possible happen to any of us. The Universe, The Source, God is total perfection, and all we need to do is to progress and be open expressions in the flow of that perfection.
As your realization and your enthusiasm grows you will become more and more in vibrational harmony with that which you wish to attract, and as a direct result more and more of that which you wish for will manifest into your awareness and therefore your physical reality. This is a self-perpetuating process that will very soon be noticed by those around you who will often dismiss your fortune as luck. If appropriate, always strive to share your knowledge with those around you, but if they are not ready to listen, to receive and to understand, never force it upon anyone; their day of realisation will arrive sooner or later.
In order to place yourself in vibrational harmony with your wishes you first need to experience them. Remember; everything that exists, has ever existed or ever will exist already exists in the Eternal Now beyond the physical space-time restricted aspects of the physical Universe, all you have to do is to attract it into your own individual reality by placing yourself in energetic harmony with it, thereby matching your own vibrations.
To experience it is to imagine it, visualize it and be an integral part of it in your Mind. Imagination is creation, and therefore when you imagine something it is very real, not some sort of figment of the imagination, dream or fantasy. This is one of the very reasons creative visualization is so very powerful; by visualizing and mentally becoming a part of that which you are attracting you begin to match the vibrations that will cause it to manifest into your personal, physical reality. The quicker you can match those vibrations, the Energy involved, the sooner you will manifest the object of your visualisation, your wishes and desires into your life.
So to progress with being the creator of your own existence, relax, fully experience in your Mind that which you wish to receive, and then let go and let God.
Another important aspect of The Law of Attraction is expectation. You must always know, beyond any doubt that you already have everything you could possibly wish for; it is just a matter of receiving. You must therefore always expect to receive and never doubt even for a single moment. Always know, beyond any doubt that the Universe will provide.
A further important aspect of realizing your wishes is desire. Unless you are in perfect harmony with whatever you wish for, it will not manifest into your existence, and desire for whatever it is you wish for is a very important component of this process. If you do not genuinely desire something then you cannot be in vibrational harmony with it, and it will not appear within your personal reality however much you believe you may wish for it.
So your wishes must always be fuelled by desire and expectation, while never, even for a single moment doubting the results. Ask and it will be given, there are no exceptions, all you have to do is to place yourself into a state of receiving, and The Law of Attraction will operate with total, immutable action in manifesting the object of your wishes into your life.
The Law of Attraction applies equally to attracting or repelling people. Everyone without exception is a transmitter and receiver of vibrations which vibrations are picked up by those around you, or sometimes even at great distance; distance being a physical concept that does not apply within the inner levels of Energy where they first have their corresponding affect. People who feel attracted to you or you to them are those who are most in vibrational harmony with your own specific vibrations. Everyone, usually at a subconscious level detects the vibrations of others to some extent, this being the reason why people often take an instant like or dislike to someone else. They are picking up on the vibrations of the other person. Genuine psychics and very often animals are much more tuned into the vibrations of people, and indeed everything, and can instinctively determine the character of any being.
The Universe knows no such concepts as failure, contraction or chance; knowing only success, expansion and evolution in accordance with the immutable Laws of the Universe. All that is required therefore to attract anything at all into your own individual life by The Law of Attraction is to be in total energetic and therefore vibrational harmony with the Universe as an expression or channel of The Source, The First Cause, with God and that which you wish to attract into your individual reality.
A further most important factor that everyone should know and keep in Mind is that everyone planned their own individual physical life, and knew what to expect and what was expected before even incarnating into the present physical body. Every physical life has a purpose but currently the majority of people do not know they have such a purpose. This is due in large part to the indoctrination most people receive into the physical world from the moment of birth, where they taught that all that exists is physical, and everything else is fantasy.
Once people do realise they are here for a specific purpose, usually related to personal evolution on the path back to God, they can begin to realise that purpose by vibrating in harmony with it, thereby attracting those things that they are here to attract as a necessary aspect of evolution. Everyone on Earth is a physical extension of Source Energy, with exactly the same creative powers as The Source; we are all co-creators with God.
With all of these factors in Mind it should be absolutely apparent to you by now that The Law of Attraction is extremely important, and key to happiness, fulfilment and joy. You now know that you attract to you everything and anything you hold in your Mind, be it positive or negative. Your task therefore is always to accentuate the positive and reject the negative.
You know that there is absolutely nothing that you cannot be, do or have, and that all you need to do is to know this glorious truth, and that you can truly attract only those most positive, desired and wished for things into your life. When you reach this stage, and you must sooner or later, whether in this life or a further life, you will then know without any doubts whatsoever that you are indeed a Divine expression of God, a co-creator with God in this great and perfect Universe of Energy, vibration and Consciousness in which we have our Being, learning and continuing to evolve back to The Source, The First Cause, back to God.
The future chapters of this book will describe the various factors, processes and methods that will enable you to realise your true powers as a creator of your individual reality within the Universe, but before we move on to those chapters we should also discuss other emotions that are very important in the realisation of your wishes, those of joy, gratitude and faith.
The more joyful, happy and light-hearted you are, the higher will be your corresponding overall rate of vibration. The higher your inherent rate of vibration, the more powerful will be your attractive powers. Joy is a very high emotion and therefore state of vibration of Energy, and one that is a fundamental characteristic of the Universe along with Unconditional Love. The more joyful you are the higher will be your rate of vibration and the more aligned you will be to The Source. This in turn will enable you to manifest your desires much more freely.
here to read about Adrian Cooper's special
It is most important therefore to maintain a high state of joy. And why not maintain a blissful state of joy? You are after all a Divine, immortal, Spiritual Being, an expression of God, made in the true Spiritual image of God, and accordingly there is absolutely nothing that you cannot be, do or have. What is there not to be joyful about?
Those who
are not joyful are in a state corresponding with a focus on the physical,
material world they erroneously believe to be reality, and when physical
things do not conform to their own physical efforts, wants or hopes then
they become angry, sad or worse a state of despair. These emotions will
always perpetuate more of the same in accordance with the Law of Attraction.
It is therefore vital to never embrace negative, angry or depressive thoughts,
because once this process starts to occur it can become self-perpetuating,
and the person can very easily become trapped in a vortex of destructive,
negative Energy.
Always remember, you are an infinite expression of The Source, The First Cause, of God, and the more of God you can express, the more abundance will flow into your life from the infinite abundance of the Universe. Always, always, always remain fully aware of how you are thinking. Never allow yourself to be negatively influenced by external physical factors, situations or people, always remaining aware, and always transmuting any negative situation into a positive situation. Maintain that high state of vibration as an expression of God, and your individual reality will reflect your high state of Energy, vibration and being with infinite abundance, joy and fulfilment as you joyfully travel the path back to our Divine creator.
Another very important state of being is faith. By faith we do not mean faith in the religious sense, or faith based merely upon hope, but rather absolute faith in the immutable workings of The Universe and the fact that you are a loved Son or Daughter of God with the same unlimited potential as God as a co-creator of your own reality and of the Universe.
Having faith is therefore to have faith in your own abilities as well as faith in God. To have faith means to know, beyond any possible doubt that all of your desires, needs and wishes are always granted without exception, and that all you need to do for your part is to align yourself with those wishes to be in vibrational harmony with them. If you do not have faith, if you ever doubt or reject these important Universal truths then it will considerably impact your ability to create. If you do not believe and have faith in your natural, God-given abilities as creator, then you will transmit that corresponding Energy vibration which will in turn conflict with your very ability to create and therefore to orchestrate your own reality.
Another extremely important emotion is gratitude. Although the Universe will always provide, gratitude is very important to the vibrations that you send back to the Universe. The vibration of gratitude maintains our connections with The Source at the highest levels.
It is most important not to think of gratitude in the religious sense. A personified God according to religion hears worship, praise thanks and people are told that God in return will grant future requests by way of some form of repayment. This concept is a purely human construct.
Gratitude can more correctly considered to be a certain type of vibration; a very powerful vibration that influences the Universe in your direction in accordance with the Universal laws of Attraction and Correspondence. To ask, receive and then to be grateful for what you have received transmits the right vibration to the Universe, which will in turn enable you to more easily attract much more of that which you desire into your life in the physical world future.
Those who demand things, or who ask and expect to receive and are not grateful for what they have received will send out the corresponding vibrations of Energy into the Universe that will in turn make it correspondingly more difficult to receive subsequent wishes.
is also related to faith. Those who are always deeply, emotionally and
sincerely grateful for what they have received from the Universe will
also have faith that they will continue to receive, so gratitude reinforces
faith and accordingly the entire process of creation. The Universe is
always in a state of harmony, and gratitude helps to accentuate your personal
harmony with the Universe. Ask in the certain knowledge and in complete
faith that you will receive, and then always maintain absolute, sincere
and emotional gratitude for what the Universe has provided you with; in
this way you will always be more finely in tune with Spirit, God, The
Universe, and this will in turn be reflected by the ease in which you
can always create your own reality, in harmony with God.

50 Beautiful Before & Afters
Simple changes can transform ordinary homes into super stylish abodes. Check out these amazing transformations.
The one positive thing about this bare-bones space is that it gave the redesign team plenty to work with. Several elements, such as the low popcorn ceiling, had to go.
An open floor plan is perfect for a busy young family at the beach. This one combined the kitchen, dining, and living spaces into one great room with a neutral palette that's easy and casual.
This room should be all about the view, but the seating isn't oriented towards the window and the oversize hearth detracts from the ocean outside.
The scaled-down fireplace, some plush seating, and a fresh coat of paint ensure that nothing takes away from that gorgeous water view.
This living area is anything but lively and suffers from a severe lack of lighting.
A pair of multiarmed chandeliers and a dose of creamy white paint add elegance to the space—and defer to those spectacular windows!
This room's biggest problems are its dark, overhanging beams and brick fireplace, which seem to close in on the space.
White paint comes to the rescue again! Here, it allows the ceiling beams to blend in and covers the original brick. A variety of exotic prints and antiques give this room energy.
This space needed so much work—thanks to poor upkeep—that the homeowner originally decided she could never live here. The rustic outdoor storage shed isn't very family-friendly.
A whole lot of white paint convinced the family that this home was worth the effort. They raised the ceiling and added a deck, resulting in this stylish shed-turned-living room with an earthy color palette.
A shortage of furniture means tons of space goes unused in this living area. Without enough seating for a group, this drab room is sure to remain empty.
Applying a pale shade to the walls welcomed light into this window-filled space. A comfy couch and a few bamboo furnishings leave plenty of room for friends to gather.
The new owners found what they were looking for in this "older home ready for some TLC." The basics are all there, but the rooms required an update.
This living room went through some minor structural changes, including widening the doorways. The furnishings, such as the L-shape couch and glass-topped coffee table, were designed around the new space.
This ho-hum deck doesn't provide the type of outdoor living these owners were hoping for. With scenery like this, they wanted to make use of all the space.
The addition of a patio and the extension of the deck allow for extra seating to host a crowd. Chic extras, such as the gorgeous outdoor fabrics, make this revamped outdoor space easy to love.
This picture begs the question: is a deck that can't even fit a chair really a deck at all? The tiny outdoor space was sun-bleached, and the stairs were sagging and unsafe.
A new wraparound deck is the perfect place for a quiet drink at dusk or an all-out bash in the summer. Consider a lower deck that doesn't require a railing for an unobstructed view.
This room features a fabulous view of the Intracoastal Waterway, but two awkwardly spaced windows don't take full advantage of it.
The addition of a third window ensures that no part of the world outside is left unseen. This updated bedroom is also a great example of what a large-scale print can do for a space.
This blah bedroom has little style, and the dark ceiling makes it look cramped and unpolished.
Another great example of the impact a little white paint can make in your home! Layered patterns with a chic color palette of purples, blues, and splashes of vibrant yellow-green give this bedroom a major style boost.
Ironically, too many entryways and stairs results in no one ever wanting to come inside.
Windows instead of doors left room for a pool deck, which means more time in the sun for this family. The new dormer adds a sense of balance to the exterior that was missing before.
This small cottage's exterior is dreary and unappealing, with virtually no curb appeal.
The small cottage is impossible to overlook after its exterior face-lift. Delightful blue hydrangeas match the newly painted shutters.
This coastal home has plenty of potential, but needs work.
Outdoor decor and fun landscaping details, such as the half-moon gate, amp up the style. A second-story addition includes a library with windows overlooking the front yard.
This stuffy home not only suffers from mold damage, but also a blah exterior. The bare lawn is begging for a little landscaping and bright plantings.
The new gray shingles with a white base add charm and sophistication to the facade. Abundant colorful flowers and a cheerful painted door give it the color it so desperately needed.
Many suggested that the new owners tear down this 1960s home after years of neglect. While they admitted that it was "extremely unattractive," something convinced them to give remodeling a try.
After a serious update, this is no longer the homeliest home on the block. Best of all, the renovations were planned around the landscape, sparing the property's cluster of mature oaks.
A long, narrow room left space for only a small deck, which prevented the kind of outdoor living that a gorgeous spot like Hilton Head Island deserves.
The addition of a second story meant that the newly expanded deck could be partially covered, providing this family with outdoor enjoyment, rain or shine.
The dark cabinetry and countertops don't match the light and airy feeling the homeowners were going for in their beach house.
A kitchen island helps create flow in the kitchen without sacrificing storage space. The open shelving makes the room seem larger and shows off the new patterned wallpaper.
This kitchen's dark cabinets aren't doing it any favors, making it appear heavy and dull.
White walls, cabinetry, and countertops open up the space and make it feel clean and modern. Turn your kitchen into a gathering place for family and friends by including seating, such as these fun barstools.
While we appreciate the bold use of color, the combination in this kitchen resulted in what the designer called "a terrible rainbow eyesore."
Natural materials with plenty of rich texture and a more muted color palette take this space in a completely different direction. A timeless approach is key in a room that gets as much use as the kitchen.
This cookie-cutter kitchen's uninspired design must have thousands of lookalikes all over the country. The medium-brown cabinetry feels dingy, and the appliance need an overhaul.
The homeowners achieved an updated look without sacrificing the beautifully aged feeling that they loved about the house. Glass-tile countertops in a mix of shimmering sandy hues are both enchanting and low-key.
This basic kitchen's U-shape counter doesn't facilitate the constant flow of activity coming through the room.
A center island and cabinetry with transparent doors are more functional. An ingenious opening allows for the easy passage of food and drinks from the kitchen to the living room.

Hitchhiking through Africa on a post-college spiritual quest in 1993, Naperville resident John Paul Lorenzo found himself drawn to the beauty of the continent and the wonders of its wildlife. But it was a group of orphans in the primitive, dirt-poor village of Nyankuku in the mountains of Uganda that captured his heart.
The 73 children, orphaned by an AIDS epidemic that has swept Africa, were being cared for by a Christian community leader who supported his flock with donations from passing travelers who occupied the orphanage's tiny guest hut.

The news that Hitachi has paid what seems a high price for the Horizon franchise to build new nuclear stations in the UK is good news for the industry. Hitachi has a strong balance sheet and a good technical record – untarnished by Japan's Fukushima incident. The deal is a tribute to the Department of Energy and Climate Change officials involved and to Number 10′s strong support for the nuclear programme.
Now, only two questions remain. What price will UK consumers pay for nuclear generated power and who will fund EDF's initial investment in Hinkley Point.
After a long and successful campaign to make nuclear power acceptable within the UK the companies involved in the industry seem to be jeopardising further progress by refusing to spell out the detailed costs of the new nuclear stations they want to build. Read more

Like this year's Barry Award winner Dr Brown, Nicola Gunn invokes audience participation. Shrinking violets needn't feel apprehensive, however. Gunn won't demand you do anything mortifying and she's far too obsessive an artist to leave any of the heavy lifting to the audience.
Arriving at Theatreworks, we're given name tags and arranged in a circle in a space that resembles a suburban community hall. Gunn introduces herself in seven languages, informs us that we're part of a community group determined to change the world through the ''emancipatory potential of art''.
Gunn's quicksilver wit and the fearless eccentricity of her stage persona superimpose the tongue-in-cheek and the fearfully earnest in an utterly unique way.
Under the dry half-mockery of every artistic pretension and community group cliche (from the weaselly: "Free tea and coffee, gold coin donation" to the audacity of including a layered monologue about the performer's latest relationship breakdown) lurks an unreconstructed belief in the power of the very thing it lampoons.
The influence of David Woods' dramaturgy is clear: the show achieves the fluid absurdity of his work with Ridiculusmus.
But it is Gunn's forceful charisma, her expressiveness, her control, mental sharpness and improvisational skill that have the audience at her command. She can start a conga line, pose for a life drawing class, or have us holding hands in a circle, all the while beguiling us with downbeat observations and fragments of narrative drawn from everyday life.
Despite occasional pacing problems, this is an uplifting and effortlessly clever show. Nicola Gunn is an extraordinary comic talent. Someone should throw serious money at her and see what happens.

ZIONSVILLE, Indiana (Jul. 10)
Leaders of the National Federation of Temple Youth representing 14,000 teen-agers interested in the Reform Jewish movement in the United States and Canada, will hold a three-day meeting here to map plans for the strengthening of Liberal Judaism among Jewish youth in America. The parley will open next Friday.
In emphasizing the need for the youth movement in Reform Judaism, NFTY president, Robert Miller of Lexington, Kentucky, said today: "Leaders of the Reform Jewish movement must recognize that the future of our vastly expanding Liberal Judaism in this hemisphere depends on the proper education of the youth already affiliated through our synagogues." He warned however that, "unless adequate funds are provided to take care of the programs being demanded by teen-agers in our 560 temples, it could well mean a slowing of the progress that we have made over the past five years.

Hi All,
I'll be staying near the Prudential tower, and would love your suggestions on places to dine (includes Back Bay, Beacon Hill etc)that aren't too far from that area . Probably the furthest I would like to go is the Faneuil Hall area, unless there is an absolute 'must dine' place that you love...
I used to love Marche (gone), Cappuccino's (gone), great cafe in Beacon Hill (name escapes me but it's gone)(oh and I hate hate hate Finale so fyi if someone is thinking of going there)...
I'd love to gain a new repertoire of place to go to that you food experts could recommend to me.
I would appreciate your recommendations on good places for a quick/nice breakfast (definately has to be near the Pru for that one), nice lunch or quick lunch, inexpensive to moderate dinners, cafes, afternoon tea places, and general fun lively places maybe with some music as well.
The cuisine I would appreciate at these places would be 'new American'/eclectic, American, continental, Italian, English, Irish, French, Brazilian, Cuban, Seafood. Not interested in steakhouses, chinese, mexican or Indian.
I greatly look forward to your wonderful insight on where is best to dine in the Boston area. Thanks for your help!!!!

Comment on 2ch vs Sankaku: "You White Pigs Are All Racists!" by Mel:
At least they have any English skills, hardly anyone in the US speaks a second language fluently, unless they are the children of illegals from Mexico or South American countries. I know a lot of Japanese students studying here, how sad is it that although they make spelling and pronunciation mistakes, their grammar is better than native speakers.
Mel made other comments on this post:
- 2ch vs Sankaku: "You White Pigs Are All Racists!":
How is it that these people on 2ch have never pirated or stolen intellectual property ever? Never copied a movie, downloaded a song, or saved free pornography from some torrent site that stole it in the first place? Do they really believe anime fans want any censorship? It is part of the reason we can't watch it on television here. Did the Americans secretly put Ishihara into office as well? I had no idea Sankaku Complex was such a major website able of contributing to conflicts among 2ch …

Two weeks before Christmas, a maxi taxi was engulfed by flames on Broadmeadows Road, Maroochydore, on the Sunshine Coast. Shortly after, an article was posted on the website of local union the
Suncoast Cabs general manager
Julian was disafilliated from the Suncoast Cabs network. And because it is the only taxi network in the Sunshine Coast, and owing to government regulations mandating that taxi drivers be part of a taxi network, Julian was effectively banished from his trade.
Regardless whose account of the incident is really true, it shows how much power taxi networks, which operate monopolies in regional towns around Australia, wield over their drivers.
For years the frictions between those who drive taxis and the networks that brand them and manage the bookings have simmered quietly. But a small group of software developers in a co-working space in Sydney have blown them into the open.
GoCatch is a smartphone app that allows passengers to directly book taxis with taxi drivers, bypassing the networks and their booking fees. Direct booking is nothing new, and entrepreneurial drivers have long given their mobile number to regular passengers, or picked up jobs from private "trunk radio" networks – something the taxi networks have been trying for years to have outlawed, with success in some states.
The taxi networks have brought out their war chest. Around the country they have launched campaigns that claim these smartphone apps are unsafe and illegal. In NSW they bought the support of Crime Stoppers NSW – a not-for-profit company that many consumers believe is a police agency – in a campaign against "rogue apps" warning of "the risks and dangers of travelling outside the regulatory protection offered by taxi networks". Newsletters have been sent to drivers across entire networks, threatening financial penalties and potentially disaffiliation from the network, for those who use them. And in some cases taxi drivers have been personally summoned into the network offices and dressed down.
BRW revealed on Friday that
"I stated to you that I consider that this type of service is a direct competitor of
He says he has heard of similar threats in Bundaberg, Newcastle, Port Macquarie and Gunnedah, plus Perth and Adelaide.
"Where the drivers are most scared is in the regional areas," Campbell says. "It's their livelihood."
Whether the apps are legitimate or not is a matter of some dispute. Late last year NSW Deputy Premier
And the taxi industry has a long history of run-ins with the ACCC due to attempts to stamp out private bookings. In 1998 the ACCC struck down an attempt by a network in Wagga, NSW, to enforce a ban on private mobile phone bookings, which was accompanied by threats of penalties and a 12-month pause in trip allocations. In 2004 the ACCC reminded taxi companies "not to engage in anti-competitive practices" after striking down a similar attempt by
In an extensive reply to BRW's requests for comment,
And he disputes that accepting bookings from goCatch is the same as a street hail, because when drivers assess whether to pick up a customer, they are able to make a judgment about the person "either by assessing their level of intoxication or their body language, that may indicate whether they will be violent, or attempt to evade a fare". But by accepting a booking on goCatch they don't get that opportunity, he argues.
He cites incidents overseas of sexual predators posing as taxi drivers and says a driver could register with goCatch who isn't a "real" taxi driver. GoCatch disputes this, saying it ensures drivers have a valid taxi licence and stores their personal identity, as well as the passenger's.
Dr Peter Abelson, a visiting fellow at the University of Sydney who has written extensively about the taxi industry, says the taxi networks and their rules stamp out the entrepreneurial drive of taxi drivers.
"Taxi drivers find it very difficult to make a living," Abelson says. "One way [to deal with this] is to run your own business and have your own clients, but that's illegal."

thanks in advance

You're gonna get flamed for not doing your research. There are metasploit posts and tutorials all over the place, but I'm in a good mood so I'll give you a tip...
Lots of variables could be playing into your lack of a session. I'm going to assume you scanned your LAN and there is no need to worry about firewalls or port forwarding because that's a noob-raping demon in and of itself. Metasploit's db_autopwn should automatically start any associated listeners and open any requisite ports on your machine, so you shouldn't need to open or change any ports unless they're being filtered.
The computers you scanned may not have any vulnerabilities that can be exploited via a simple nmap scan, so that could also be why you have no sessions. You might need look into other vulnerability assessment methods like Nessus or OpenVAS.
My advice: Go study up at Metasploit Unleashed and practice on an early-edition XP virtual machine. You're in over your head if you're trying to learn metasploit by taking on a larger-scoped project like attacking an entire LAN.

I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Did nmap report open ports???

|Sulphur Springs man sentenced in injury to a child, sexual assault cases
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
Dec. 6, 2005 -- A 66-year-old Sulphur Springs man Monday was sentenced to four years in prison of injury to a child and 10 years' probation for multiple charges of sexual assault of the same 10-year-old.
Billy Joe Smith received the sentence for injury to his wife's granddaughter after pleading guilty Nov. 23 before Eighth Judicial District Judge Robert Newsom in exchange for a lesser sentence for the crimes as part of a plea agreement with the district attorney's office.
The agreement also required the defendant to admit his guilt in open court and describe his actions. The agreement also requires that Smith register as a sex offender, that he follow the more strenuous terms of deferred adjudication as outlined for individuals convicted of sex crimes. He also waived any rights to an appeal the judgment.
The Sulphur Springs man is still a defendant in a pending civil case initiated by the victim's mother on behalf of her now 11-year-old daughter.
Smith testified that he committed the acts against his step-granddaughter while the girl slept in the bed he shares with his wife. He said he thought the girl was asleep each time, and the acts were committed when his wife was out of the room.
Under questioning by District Attorney Martin Braddy, Smith stated that he knew what he did to his step-granddaughter was wrong, but that he derived no sexual gratification from the act. When asked why he did it, Smith stated it was "just curiosity about her development" but "I got nothing sexual out of it." He said he told no one about it because "I was ashamed of it." The offenses ceased when "we got her to sleepin' by her self and I thought it was over," Smith said.
"So this 10-year-old girl, who you felt toward like a daughter, a granddaughter at the minimum, are you proud of her for getting the courage to tell?" Braddy quizzed Smith.
"Yes, I am," the defendant replied.
"You hurt her didn't you?" Braddy asked.
"Mentally," Smith said.
When asked whether he thought he had hurt the victim by sexually assaulting her, Smith said, "I don't think I did."
"I can promise just everybody that it will not happen again... because that's the first time it happened and the last time it'll happen again," Smith said.
Smith said that he accepted the plea deal -- which was agreed to by the prosecution, defense attorney Eddie Northcutt and the victim's parents -- so that the victim would not have to testify at a jury trial, but noted it to be "the hardest thing I've done."
Following the judge's acceptance of the deal, the victim and both of her parents addressed Smith.
The victim's mother told Smith that instead of being a grandparent her daughter could trust with her safety he was a "predator and destroyer," adding that while she does not trust him, neither does she hate him.
"I feel there is no room in paradise at this time for you. I hope you enjoy prison and hell. I hope I never see you again. I hope you never make it out," the victim's mother said.
"Since you did this I hope I never see you and I hope you rot in hell, too," the victim said.
"What you did to me and my family is disrespectful. ... You did this to her, to me, my mother and the rest of the family. I hope you grow eyes in the back of your head because these eyes are gonna be watching you when you get out," said Smith's stepson, the father of the victim.
Braddy said he was not satisfied with the resolution to the case, but he agreed to it for the victim's sake.
"Although I'm absolutely not satisfied with the very minimum amount of time he received, the benefits to the little girl outweigh the time in prison, so I agreed to it for her sake," the district attorney said. He added that he hoped hearing Smith's admission would help mend the rift in the family caused when the allegations were made.
Northcutt declined to comment on the case, noting that there was not much more he could add and to do so would be improper as he is still representing Smith in a pending civil case brought on behalf of the victim in this case by her mother.

Research Interests:
Our studies in structural biology focus on diabetes. Targets are subdivided into (1) genetic causes of diabetes, including MODY, lipodystrophy and obesity, (2) potential mediators of insulin resistance, and (3) autoantigens in type 1 diabetes. Examples of recently solved structures include:
HNF-1a. Mutations in the MODY3 gene, the most common monogenic cause of diabetes, map to the transcription factor HNF-1a. The structure of HNF1a bound to DNA, which we have solved at 2.3 å resolution, reveals a heretofore unidentified POU-homeodomain (HNF1a lacks sequence homology with Pit1, Oct or Unc). Over 40 distinct mutations map to the crystallized region; those that perturb DNA binding, protein-protein interactions, nuclear localization, protein stability, and dimerization are readily discriminated by their structure.
Lamin A/C. We have also solved structures at 1.4 å resolution of the nuclear lamin A/C globular tail. This region is mutated in familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), whereas missense mutations throughout lamin A/C may cause autosomal recessive forms of muscular dystrophy (Emery-Dreifuss, Limb-Girdle and familial cardiac conduction disease). The tail forms a nine-stranded b sandwich resembling an immunoglobulin fold. FPLD mutations map to a discrete surface patch, whereas muscular dystrophy mutations are within the domain's hydrophobic core. The structure is thus helping to resolve why clinical phenotypes of some mutations are manifested in fat while others are in muscle.
Autoantigens. Humoral and cellular autoimmune responses are mounted against an intracellular domain of IA-2, and antibodies and HLA-DR4 positive T cells against IA-2 are present in the majority of patients with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes. The structure at 2.4 å resolution reveals a single protein tyrosine phosphatase-like domain, which is helping to rationalize both catalytic and antigenic properties of IA-2.

Berlin (Sep. 11)
Reich Minister of Education Bernhard Rust supplemented his order excusing German Jewish children from taking Nazi racial courses by directing yesterday that only children who ask for permission to stay away be excused.
Previous orders issued by Dr. Rust, after numerous protests from German Jews gave the teachers in the Nazi Schools power to excuse Jewish children from taking the racial courses, which are given every Saturday. The racial teachings exalt the "Aryan race" and condemn the Jews as an inferior race who were the cause of most of Germany's woes.

By Julie Appleby, USA TODAY
The sole U.S. maker of an insecticide-based treatment for head lice has stopped promoting the product after a sharply worded warning from the Food and Drug Administration that its marketing misled consumers by downplaying the rare, but serious, risks of the treatments.
The move follows years of controversy over prescription shampoo and lotion treatments that contain the insecticide lindane, including a ban on their use in California. Lawmakers in Michigan, New York and Minnesota are considering curbing use of the products.
In a little-noticed December letter, the FDA cites concern over some of the information drugmaker Morton Grove Pharmaceuticals provided on websites and in mailed materials, including a statement by the company that treating head lice effectively requires two applications, several days apart. That is "extremely alarming given that retreatment with Lindane Shampoo can lead to increased exposure and possibly death," the FDA says.
Millions of cases of head lice and body mites are reported each year in the USA, often among children. More than 166,000 prescriptions for lindane treatments — almost 10% of all prescriptions for head lice and scabies — were written from January to November 2007, according to the tracking firm IMS Health.
RELATED: States may restrict lice treatments
Hospitalizations, seizures and deaths have been reported after the use of Lindane Shampoo and Lindane Lotion, according to the products' warning label. The FDA requires the prescriptions to carry that warning. The warning label also cites "lindane toxicity, verified by autopsy" in two deaths: an infant and an adult who used the product to commit suicide.
Morton Grove was purchased by Wockhardt, an India-based company, in October. It says in a response letter that the new owners "do not believe" that the marketing materials "intended to downplay" the risks associated with the shampoo. Morton Grove President and CEO Kurt Orlofski said in an interview the firm has stopped its promotion, as requested by the FDA, until it develops new marketing materials.
"The FDA has had a number of occasions to review the safety and efficacy of product and keep it or pull it: They have kept it on the market," Orlofski said. "It's an important second-line therapy."
The FDA says lindane products are useful as a last resort against head lice and scabies. "The benefit of the drug for treating scabies and lice outweigh the risk," FDA spokeswoman Rita Chappelle said.
Several treatments for head lice are available, including combing out the lice and their nits, over-the-counter products and prescription treatments.
In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency banned lindane as an agricultural insecticide, citing its toxicity. About 50 other countries already ban or restrict the agricultural use of lindane.

Jared Leto and Sarah Polley will star together in Jaco Van Dormael's romantic drama "Mr. Nobody."
Ready to make a great pair together, Jared Leto and Sarah Polley have both landed deals to highlight a new romantic drama entitled "Mr. Nobody" that Belgian filmmaker Jaco Van Dormael is set to direct from his own script.
Described as a multilayered love story inspired by the "butterfly effect", the flick is set in the not-so-distant future and revolves around Leto's character Nemo Nobody who, at 120 years old, is the last mortal surrounded by happy immortals as he relives his real and imaginary years of marriage.
