Light 'em up.
The sun has gone down or the clouds have rolled in, but the LIT Reflex Ultra-Reflective Tire brightens up any city cyclist's day with a large reflective band that covers nearly the entire sidewall. The narrow stripes on standard reflective tires are only visible from cars approaching from the side, but the LIT Ultra-Reflective's wide band curves across the sidewall, dramatically increasing the viewing angle so you're visible from nearly directly in front or behind as well.
Rough traffic aside, rough roads are no problem either thanks to its file tread design for great all-conditions traction and a hard-wearing rubber compound that ensures long life. Beneath the tread, a robust puncture protection belt keeps out sharp objects for a hitch free ride.
700c x 33 mm. Folding Bead. 60 TPI casing.
Made in: Tawian
Application: Commuting/Urban
Max Pressure: 75 psi
These tires have a similar tread pattern to my old Panaracer Pasela tires (38). I do miss the tan and supple side walls but these LIT tires are really impressive. I think they have better grip corning for my wet PDX commute and I can run them 45-50 psi for a comfortable ride. I switch to these tires for the ultra-reflective side wall (obviously) but these tires are not a gimmick. They seem to be a high quality tire. I did get a flat soon after riding with these tires but I ran over a thick staple so I am not blaming the tires. I used to run Gatorskins and had flats due to thick staples. Bonus is getting a lot of complements on the look of the side wall...strong utility of a wide reflective side wall but with checkered pattern that adds a bit of unique style to the bike. Also, the 33 wide tire is my sweet spot where I find I get the most comfort with great speed versatility over a wide range of terrain. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.
This is a great commuting tire, rolls smoothly, is durable and super visible. It's a bit heavy but it's not a race tire. THe 32 width is a good sweet spot in my opinion for comfort and speed as well
I've had them a few months now and I'm very satisfied. Running them tubeless and no issues so far.
These tires are perfect if you want a wide puncture-proof tire with a folding bead and high profile reflective strip. At 700x33 they're not going to fit your standard road bike, but if you have a touring bike, cross bike, or some other form of bike with 700c wheels and a lot of clearance, they should fit.
I've ridden this variant of the LIT Reflex for about 14 months now. Only suffered one flat when a construction staple went all the way through the puncture belt. Other than that, these tires are rock solid. They're a bit heavy, but they roll super well and deliver worry-free puncture protection. Also, the manufacturer probably won't recommend this setup, but you could set these up tubeless on the right rim. Consult a bike shop if you're thinking about this. It will make the tires roll even faster as you'll be removing a lot of weight.
Sometimes I have to work very early and I was looking for a reflective tire for my roadbike.
I bought a 700x28 Michelin reflective tire which fits my front just fine but would not fit rear because of tight brake
Clearance. The lit fits perfectly and is really really reflective. I hope my front tire wears out soon so I can replace it with a lit.
I've had these tires on my commuter bike since last fall. I generally only ride this bike in the winter and when the weather is bad. I've put about 2000 miles on the tires and they've held up well. The reflective side walls get a bit grubby looking after a while but this doesn't seem to diminish their reflective properties very much. I had one flat during these miles, which is better than most of the tires I've tried.
The tires are pretty lightweight and supple - closer to the performance end of the spectrum. After 2000 miles, the rear is close to the end of its useful life. The front could last a good bit longer.
Based on what I've seen and experienced, I'd recommend these to anyone that is looking for a pretty good performance oriented tire for everyday riding. It's not going to beat a continental GP4000s in performance, or a Schwalbe Marathon Plus in durability, but it's a great tire for someone looking for a good all-around performer.
I'm a diehard Gatorskin fan when it comes to my daily commuting bike. But my wife saw these when we were in the shop a couple months ago and thought the reflective sidewall was a good idea. I ride about 17 miles each way to the office and sometimes don't make it home before it gets dark. I was pretty skeptical about buying an unknown brand, but didn't want to argue with my sweetheart, so..
Well, I have to say I'm impressed. I've now got about 1500 miles on them and have had one flat after running over some serious glass (similar experience with Gatorskins). The traction and handling is great. They feel supple and responsive. Frankly, I don't care that much about the reflective stripe (although it does look pretty cool). What matters to me most is performance and durability and these tires do very well - at least as well as the Gatorskins in my experience. Even after 1500 miles, they appear to have plenty of wear left.
I've since recommended them to my buddies and when these wear out I'm buying another pair.
The tire actually measures closer to a 25 than a 28 which works will on most road bikes since 28 is a bit large for standard brake calipers. The ride is fairly supple which you'd expect from a 127 tpi tire. The rubber compound seems just about right, providing decent traction even in the wet, while still holding up to winter riding conditions. So far, I can't find anything to complain about. Even the reflective sidewall looks pretty slick with the LIT logos. Riding after dark, the tire really lights up giving me a lot more confidence that I'll be seen. My lights do a good job front and back, but from the side the reflective sidewalls really make a difference. I'm impressed.
Holds up to street grime well.
If you're not going to let the winter stop you from commuting to work, these might be the tires from you. Having the extra reflectivity gives you the vote of confidence you need to stay in the saddle during the early morning rides and the evening commute that doesn't end until the sun has gone down again. I've found these to be a great balance of low-price, durability, and low weight.
I mounted these on my ti road bike for fitness riding early in the morning, before the sun rises. The reflective sidewalls REALLY catch light and are very noticeable. The tires give a comfortable ride, and the slghtly wider width, as compared to my normal 23c tires, adds to the comfort and does not prevent me from being ok on hard group rides at greater pace. All in all, a good tire.
I like it so much that I bought another pair. I rode 3x a week at night and these tires helps other motorists to see me. Good rubber, good reflective tire.
After putting some miles on the tire, I think it's a decent tire. Not very heavy, rolls good, and is a breeze to install. The only exception was the big sidewall looked like a white wall tire on my dark bike. I guess the price you pay for safety.
Pick these up for the reflectivity. I didn't believe the package when I read no tools needed but it's for REAL. Easy to put on and easy to pull off, no levers needed. This is a big plus in my book as some tires are a PITA to change.
Downfall is that traction isn't the tires strongsuit. Slippery when raining and wet, way better now that it's summer.
After riding these tires for the past couple months or so I have been left wanting more. I installed these tires on my commuter replacing my Vittoria Randoneurs. The second day on them riding home from work my rear tire went flat.. ok, a staple, that would happen to any tire. I replace the tube and continue along my merry way. With out going into too much detail I got four more flats in the next week, all caused by different offending objects (small wire from steel belt radial, glass, more glass... and another staple.. seriously Portland knock it off with stapling things to telephone poles, I can't afford that many tubes), and a new tube was used each time.
As far as the ride quality, I felt that these tires were hard (actual consistency of tread rubber) and didn't hold the road near as well as I would have liked (I nearly went down in a corner because the tire lost traction).
I do like the reflective stripe however, It is bright, visible from pretty much any angle and BRIGHT ( yes I know I said that twice, but it is really bright.)
Great deal esp. on sale. I got a pair for winter commuting on my 2013 Salsa Vaya. Got it mostly to be more visible during night rides. It's a bit fat, actually measures 35mm on my bike.
The one thing that really stood out from other commuter touring tires I've ridden over the years is that these feel super sluggish. And the bike feels a bit dead but on a positive note, they also deaden the road vibration.
I got them to be safe and the price was unbeatable on sale. I'll put up w the sluggishness and replace them w my summer tires when the winter is over.
Riding in SW FL is sketchy no matter what you use. Motorist of every ilk are inconsiderate and inattentive down here, if not downright belligerent. But for that added measure of be seen safety, I picked up these tires. I've been riding the LIT 28mm on my BMC for...roughly 400 miles. Comfortable and no negative issues other than a mushy wobbly feeling on hard turns (could be underinflation on my part) . I believe I will try to squeeze the 32 mm tires in next purchase for non pavement paths. My 6' 190 lb. body yearns for more comfort the older I get. So far, very pleased with this purchase.
I picked up a pair of these tires when they were on sale. I mainly chose these tires for the reflective sidewalls for my commuter bike, though I did not expected them to be so comfortable. After about thousand miles on them, commuting and on longer rides (100k), I can only notice some wear on the rear tire (very typical). The front tire still looks like new. I bought a second pair for another bike.
The concept is great but the tires were just to heavy to want to use even on my touring bike. They weigh over 500g each. They would be a good choice for commuting in darkness.

Tonight's opening was at Primary Space http://www.pr1maryspace.com/ in
Who are these people and where did they come from? The generally younger crowd, who sported a "look", filled the small gallery space. As I tried to push my way through the swarms, the attendees weren't recognizable from the regular gallery circuit of Birmingham- Ferndale-Detroit. I felt as though I had stepped into an alter-universe of
I have a problem making my way to Primary Space because I already know what the art will look like before I go. I would sum it up as graphic design meets hipster. The show's title "he said she said" was based on an overly explored topic of the differences between men and women. The long description of the show's content felt like a slap in the face. It was like a grill cheese sandwich with a fancy, gourmet description: no matter how you put it, it is still just cheese and bread. Why is it that weak art can't be held up by pretensious art talk, but visually pleasing art can stand alone? Can it? Or are some fooled? I think that there must be some happy medium between concept and content. Trust me; I don't want to go down the decorative road either.
The problem when a gallery's work is the same in style is that when one or a few pieces of art is weak then the whole show is remembered as weak. There are no stand-outs when everything is similar. If Primary Space mixed it up, then the "gems" would stand out.
A strong pair. Sometimes the strongest piece is when an artist knows when to stop. Simple yet attunded sensibility: a quiet sophistication.
Very strange....when woman attack?!
All and all, it was great to see another crowded opening. Now let's just get working on those red dots!

Pink Shetland chunky cushion 50cm 20 inch
I love the effect of giant knitting produced by extra chunky yarns and huge wooden needles. To create this stunning cushion cover I have Jamiesons Shetland wool in the gentle "pot-pourri" shade along with natural cream to produce this unique effect.
The resulting cushion cover is delightfully soft and squishy. I have used a zip fastener along the edge to close. The cushion measures 51cm (20 inches) along the edge unstretched, so I have photographed it with a 56cm (22 inch) feather pad.

Lipton Ice Tea has tapped the social media platform for a fight against stress in Mumbai. A campaign called LOL (Laugh Out with Lipton) targeted Twitter for stress-filled or complaining tweets from the city. After finding where the tweet originated from, a gift was delivered on behalf of Lipton Ice Tea to the person who tweeted. The idea not only tapped the digital platform but also engaged the TG on ground by tweeting its own whereabouts while delivering the gifts.
Genie in the bottle
Speaking on the objective of the campaign Rashi Goel, Business Manager, Lipton Ice Tea India says that the proposition of Lipton Ice Tea is to provide a naturally refreshing, differentiated beverage experience. "Since our TG is extremely connected, it was imperative that LIT was active on the digital platforms. Chill out Surprise' was aimed at integrating digital with the real world experiences. In addition, the hamper was the perfect way of bringing alive the brand proposition of Drink Positive.â€
The campaign was created by Social Seety, an agency that specialises in providing social media solutions for brands. Sharing the brief for the campaign, the agency's Director, Kowkab Naim says, "The brief was to capture the brand's essence and at the same time work out on creating awareness around the product & category.â€
By monitoring Tweets in a week, which were centred on negative feelings, professional and personal, related to the weather, work, weekend etc, the team tracked twitter users and gave away gift hampers consisting of LIT merchandise and personalised mementos.
Commenting on the choice of media, Naim feels, "Social media is a platform where people vent out their frustration be it work, traffic etc. It is the place where people talk. It is communication based on word of mouth and the brand stood for the motto 'take a chill pill'. We gave the consumers a reason to smile & relax!
Pitcher perfect
According to Lipton Ice Tea, the campaign saw more than 10 tweets per minute with more than 3,000 interactions and reached more than 1.5 lakh people. The brand saw a 20 per cent jump in number of followers in the six day campaign. Citing the reason for the campaign's success, Goel adds, "Everybody loves a surprise & recognition. The 'tweeple' were surprised and excited with the Chill Out Hamper. For us, speed and agility were critical to ensure same day turnarounds – which added on the fun element!â€
For the campaign LIT targeted young adults in the 18 to 24 years age bracket. The brand offers its products to early jobbers. According to Naim, "the core TG for the brand is anywhere between college students from 19 to 24 years, who are looking for more & differentiated options in beverages.â€
Naim says that the response of the campaign was phenomenal, the turnaround time of the campaign was quick, "the tweet went around 12 pm and the hampers were distributed at half past six that very evening. So there was instant gratification. The brand touched the TG's sentiments and in a positive way.â€
According to HUL's website, in a 50:50 joint venture, PepsiCo India and Hindustan Unilever launched the product in India under Pepsi Lipton International in 2011. Priced at Rs 25 for a 350 ml PET bottle, Lipton Ice Tea is available in two variants; Green Ice Tea in mint and lemon flavour and Black Ice Tea in lemon flavour. HUL launched the product in the tetra and powder formats. The powder is priced at Rs 85 for the lemon variant and Rs 95 for the mint and lemon variant for 500 gm.
Goel says that the sales have been steadily growing since the launch of the product. After a successful launch in the five metros, LIT is now aiming at strengthening its presence in these cities before venturing to add more cities.

Essay, Research Paper: Hamlet Madness
Shakespeare: Hamlet
Free Shakespeare: Hamlet research papers were donated by our members/visitors and are presented free of charge for informational use only. The essay or term paper you are seeing on this page was not produced by our company and should not be considered a sample of our research/writing service. We are neither affiliated with the author of this essay nor responsible for its content. If you need high quality, fresh and competent research / writing done on the subject of Shakespeare: Hamlet, use the professional writing service offered by our company.
Hamlet is mad, feigns madness or his pretense turns into real madness. Outline
arguments for all three and discuss. 1.Hamlet begins with guards whose main
importance in the play is to give credibility to the ghost. If Hamlet were to
see his fathers ghost in private, the argument for his madness would greatly
improve. Yet, not one, but three men together witness the ghost before even
thinking to notify Hamlet. As Horatio says, being the only of the guards to play
a significant role in the rest of the play, "Before my God, I might not
this believe / Without the sensible and true avouch / Of mine own eyes.
(I.i.56-8)" Horatio, who appears frequently throughout the play, acts as an
unquestionably sane alibi to Hamlet again when framing the King with his
reaction to the play. That Hamlet speaks to the ghost alone detracts somewhat
from its credibility, but all the men are witness to the ghost demanding they
speak alone. Horatio offers an insightful warning: What if it tempts you toward
the flood, my lord, Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff That beetles oer
his base into the sea, And there assume some other horrible form Which might
deprive your sovereignty of reason, And draw you into madness? Think of it.
(I.iv.69-74) Horatios comment may be where Hamlet gets the idea to use a plea
of insanity to work out his plan. The important fact is that the ghost does not
change form, but rather remains as the King and speaks to Hamlet rationally.
There is also good reason for the ghost not to want the guards to know what he
tells Hamlet, as the play could not proceed as it does if the guards were to
hear what Hamlet did. It is the ghost of Hamlets father who tells him,
"but howsomever thou pursues this act, / Taint not thy mind.
(I.v.84-5)" Later, when Hamlet sees the ghost again in his mothers room,
her amazement at his madness is quite convincing. Yet one must take into
consideration the careful planning of the ghosts credibility earlier in the
play. After his first meeting with the ghost, Hamlet greets his friends
cheerfully and acts as if the news is good rather than the devastation it really
is. Horatio: What news, my lord? Hamlet: O, wonderful! Horatio: Good my lord,
tell it. Hamlet: No, you will reveal it. (I.v.118-21) This is the first glimpse
of Hamlets ability and inclination to manipulate his behavior to achieve
effect. Clearly Hamlet is not feeling cheerful at this moment, but if he lets
the guards know the severity of the news, they might suspect its nature. Another
instance of Hamlets behavior manipulation is his meeting with Ophelia while
his uncle and Polonius are hiding behind a curtain. Hamlets affection for
Ophelia has already been established in I.iii., and his complete rejection of
her and what has transpired between them is clearly a hoax. Hamlet somehow
suspects the eavesdroppers, just as he guesses that Guildenstern and Rosencrantz
are sent by the King and Queen to question him and investigate the cause of his
supposed madness in II.ii. Hamlets actions in the play after meeting the
ghost lead everyone except Horatio to believe he is crazy, yet that madness is
continuously checked by an ever-present consciousness of action which never lets
him lose control. For example, Hamlet questions his conduct in his soliloquy at
the end of II.ii, but after careful consideration decides to go with his
instinct and prove to himself without a doubt the Kings guilt before
proceeding rashly. Even after the Kings guilt is proven with Horatio as
witness, Hamlet again reflects and uses his better judgement in the soliloquy at
the end of III.ii. before seeing his mother. He recognizes his passionate
feelings, but tells himself to "speak daggers to her, but use none,"
as his fathers ghost instructed. Again, when in the Kings chamber, Hamlet
could perform the murder, but decides not to in his better judgement to ensure
that he doesnt go to heaven by dying while praying. As Hamlet tells
Guildenstern in II.ii., "I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is
southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw." This statement reveals out-right
Hamlets intent to fool people with his odd behavior. This is after Polonius
enlightened comment earlier in the same scene, "though this be madness, yet
there is method int."

Here's an amazing fact: RBS was briefly the largest bank in the world by assets in 2007. The problem: for banks, assets means money they're owed and well, the RBS downfall is now legendary. Subtitled "Fred Goodwin, RBS and the men who blew up the British economy" Iain Martin traces how things went so wrong for this once esteemed bank and its equally esteemed CEO. Worth reading? Yep - it's a pacy page-turner that reads like a thriller and gives the inside scoop on how RBS almost brought down the British economy.
So…. how exactly did the Royal Bank of Scotland which later became known as the snappier RBS wind up being such a mess it nearly capsized the British economy before being thrown a life jacket stuffed with taxpayer billions to keep it afloat?
That's the question Martin looks to answer in a book that's as gripping as a thriller. It starts in early October 2008 when economic Armageddon is hours away and sleep-deprived bankers and the government are scrambling to think of a fix. Quickly.
How did this happen?
First, there's the CEO. Now, most us have heard of Fred Goodwin, the fallen CEO of RBS who, as Martin observes, became almost a "pantomime villain" of the financial crisis, someone we could point and hiss at. Certainly he doesn't come out of the book well, painted as a details-obsessed, target-driven bully with a limited grasp on some areas of banking. He was an accountant by profession who started his banking career as CEO of the small Clydesdale bank (talk about starting at the top). Within five years he was CEO of RBS, one of the largest banks in the world which is a pretty meteoritic rise by anyone's standards but then, one thing all those who knew Goodwin agree on is that he's an extremely intelligent and ambitious man.
Unfortunately, most of Martin's sources also agree, he was a nightmare of a manager. Senior managers were subjected to regular withering tirades and cross-examinations on minute details. Goodwin expected his team to meet ambitious targets and goals for growth. A micro-manager in many respects, he was eagle-eyed on the numbers and such things as the colour of the carpets in the new £350million headquarters he had built, but not so clear on the strategy of, say, the investment bank.
So Goodwin shoulders a lot of the blame but he wasn't working in a vacuum and in working out how RBS got to the point it did, Martin traces the bank's sometimes colourful history. Founded in 1727, RBS was part of a once proud tradition of Scottish banking. By the 1980s, however, it was small time, ragged round the edges and in danger of being taken over. Cue the entrance of Sir George Mathewson, a patriotic Scot, who designated Goodwin as his successor. As CEO, Mathewson was the one who shook RBS up in the early 1990s, making it a sleeker, more competitive machine and introducing a sales culture. Profits shot up; it was time to take things to the next level.
Goodwin came on board in 1998 as deputy CEO and the piece de resistance of the collaboration between mentor and mentee was the £20 billion takeover of the much bigger Natwest Bank which swung RBS into the big league. Goodwin became CEO of RBS in 2001, high on this success, as Mathewson switched to the chairman's seat. "Make It Happen" was the RBS slogan and Goodwin and Mathewson were doing just that.
Eye-popping fact: RBS's takeover of ABN Amro in 2007 made it the world's biggest bank by assets
In the following years, as RBS continued its mega growth, no-one reined in the ambitious CEO despite a couple of dud buys – not the Chairman, not the Board, not the regulators. In fact only a couple of people, such as the risk manager who left RBS after six weeks, horrified, really leave this sorry tale looking good. The New Labour Government, and Gordon Brown in particular, are criticized for creating an environment which let RBS thrive with Brown's infamous prophesy that the times of boom and bust were over scathingly dismissed by Martin as "delusional drivel".
By 2004 there were the odd mutterings about the way RBS was being run but no action. In 2006 the US housing market started to collapse and by 2007 the financial world, heavily exposed to the US market was beginning to suffer. RBS's investment bank had embraced exotic in derivatives but it was RBS's purchase of the Dutch bank, ABN Amro, in 2007 which was riddled with sub-prime debt, that led to meltdown. RBS had jostled with Barclays to takeover ABN Amro and, in October 2007, won which made RBS the biggest bank in the world by balance sheet, a balance sheet full of junk toxic assets. RBS also owned the Irish Ulster Bank which was exposed to the crashing property market in Ireland. So RBS failed at both ends of the spectrum – in the traditional property lending end and the fancier complex instrument trading of investment banks.
Eye-popping fact: RBS's share price dropped by 25% during one presentation
All of which meant that by 8 October 2008 RBS was sinking fast and in a book stuffed full of eye-popping facts, Martin tells us that during one presentation the RBS's share price dropped by 25%. The fix for RBS ended up being a Government £45.2 billion buy up of RBS shares and billions more support offered in credit facilities and no-one has felt good about it.
The fall of Goodwin has been of epic proportions. In the good years he was feted as a financial hero:
Since the collapse of RBS, he's been:
You could call it a modern day tragedy except it's not clear there was ever greatness either in Goodwin or any of the other men exposed by the crisis to make the fall so tragic. These financiers and politicians have not shown they were Hamlets or Othellos: great men with a tragic flaw. The truth is far more suburban.
Due to a combination of factors that came together but weren't understood at the time the economy – and banks – boomed during this period and these men happened to be at the helm. But human nature being what it is, these good times were not put down to good fortune: they were self-attributed to the genius of the bankers and the virtuoso skills of the politicians and central bankers who took credit for ending boom and bust cycles.

We've had many requests to offer scale model riders for the various Coaster Dynamix trains. After much searching and testing we have found them and they certainly add fun and realism. If you have any of the sadly now discontinued Coaster Dynamix accessory trains, The Floorless, Looping, Hyper etc., these figures will work with no modification. With current Scorpion and Dragon trains, however, you will need to get out out your modeling knife or drill and Super Glue to achieve a perfect fit. There is a small tab at the bottom front of each seat which is meant to secure the seat restraints. For the passengers to fit properly you will need either to remove this tab or, better yet, to drill or cut a small hole in the bottom of each passenger to accomodate the notch. This second method is preferrable as it also helps secure the passenger. In either case, you might also wish to reposition the seat restraints some what and secure them in place with Super Glue, Rubber Cement or some other method. Unfortunately, no currently available passengers will work with Phoenix IF you still want the seats restraints to raise and lower as the train enters and leaves the station. If you can do without this feature, simply remove the four small upright pieces at either end of the station which activate the seat restraints and add your passengers.They will fit nicely.

People seem to struggle with the issue of Duality, as do I. It just doesn't seem right. Is it something we just have to endure in our physical life? What is the reason for it?
I think some of the reason is that we know there is a spiritual part of us, but we have not reconciled with the logistics of it. Churches tell us the only way we can access spirituality is through the dogma of each religion. Scientists tells us it's not real because it's not science, but does acknowledge now there are some kinds of psycho/placebo responses sometimes when outcomes are unexplainable.
We all identify ourselves with some kind of relationship to spirituality from no spirituality at all, to all Spirit where this physical life is an illusion. Maybe there is another approach, perhaps another middle ground so to speak.
Feeling Ageless
As I was getting ready to do a Tarot reading for myself one day, I was reaching to the lower level of my end table where I kept my Tarot book and cards, I was stopped in my tracks. I felt strongly a real presence of myself. It was that one everyone gets from time to time where you get confused as you get older, because despite what your body is doing, you don't feel any different inside. My usual number is that I don't feel a day over 19. Then we dismiss this as wishful thinking. What if it wasn't?
That day, the feeling was that I was the same person I have always been and it defied time and space, and distance. I felt the like person I have always been without having aged as well as still being in the same place, even though I have moved a lot in my life. It was like having watched a movie and gotten so wrapped up in it you felt you had experienced a lifetime traversing the world in a couple of hours. When the movie was over, you discovered you were still the same person as when you first arrived. This may not make sense to you but it was like a more vertical time experience than linear. I will explain this later.
So I went ahead and started my reading. I chose a card in my deck that was one of the major Arcana, Key XXI. The Universe. The Tarot set I use is called Tarot of the Spirit by Pamela Eakins, PhD. This is one of the most resourceful and spiritual Tarot books I have come across and always stimulates advanced spiritual thought in me.
In this Arcana, I started reading the Meditation section which I almost never do. There was a section that said,
"The Universe, one verse, one turn
One song
Hailed on Earth as it is in Heaven
One Will
Done on Earth as it is in Heaven
One Life
Lived on Earth as it is in Heaven."
I got to thinking, perhaps there is no separation, no duality. Perhaps we live in a Universe where the physical plane and the spiritual plane co-exist. We tend to feel so separated from the spiritual realm because we have been told they are different but I am beginning to think they are simultaneous and integrated.
Eakins further says,
"Through this magical window [between the physical and the spiritual], you can see your steps laid out before and behind. In reviewing these steps, it appears as if you have been traversing the Earth incessantly. But where have you actually gone? It appears now that you have traveled forever, but you have gone nowhere!"
"You feel, in some ways, just like you did at the beginning."
This is exactly how I was perceiving things that day.
"As above, so below"
This phrase, "As above, so below", I learned when I was training to be a Reiki Master and was commonly used in different attunements and healing techniques. I have since heard it used often in a Metaphysical sense but never thought much about it thinking it was defining the difference between a spiritual "heaven" (perfect) and a physical "earth" (imperfect). Now I think what it is saying is that it's all the same existence, a shared existence in which we have access to all the divine answers right here and right now. We just have to remove ourselves from the fallacy of perfectionism and experience life as a human with all the flaws and gooey stuff, and trust that our "salvation" lies in acknowledging the lack of duality with a willingness to trust the Spiritual "US" when we need to.
"What is the beginning? Did you not begin to re-member WHO YOU ARE? Did you not learn that the illumination you sought without was within you all along? Did you not see that you ARE the illumination you sought without? The point never was the distance from whence you came in the world of matter, nor to where you fathomed you were going in that world, but the discovery of WHO YOU ARE. The purpose of the journey is the discovery of the inner self….Your physical body has been the vehicle of your discovery." *
So back to my experience of my Self being as it has always been and transcending time and space, and even distance. Perhaps this phenomena of feeling like you have never aged is the real reality. Perhaps this is the eternal YOU that is in the non-eternal body/vehicle that will get you through this physical life. I told you I would get back to you about a vertical time experience versus a linear one.
Linear vs. Vertical Time
We are all used to the linear time experience that runs from past to future, but perhaps when we mentally and emotionally have that sense of time not passing, we are actually tapping into the eternal self, vertical time. It doesn't move, it doesn't travel, but it can be experienced. It is the only explanation. Instead of thinking it is wishful thinking, I challenge all of us to pay attention to that Self instead of blowing it off, and see if we can see more. This is new to me, too, so I will be doing this experiment with you.
Here is an even greater challenge. This one I can attest to. In order to tap into that spiritual side of us, because we have never really known how to do this (except prayer works for some, but then that separates you from spirit again), when a worrisome situation comes up try to set aside worry and just know that the Universe will take care of things in the ways they need to be taken care of. Get out of your own way. Do what you can, then wait, watch, and trust. Don't give in to helplessness. Pay attention to "signs and wonders". When we project worry or helplessness to the Universe, it tends to mess things up, Universally.
A psychic one told me there are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason and in its own time. I have come to believe this. You will understand things, sometimes later rather than sooner, but most of the time you will "get it" at some point.
I would love to hear your responses and words of enlightenment if you have some to share. Please leave your comments below.
* From Tarot of the Spirit, by Pamela Eakins

I saw an ash and walnut box on another site and really admirer how the two woods complemented each other. So I thought I would try my hand at making a box with the two woods. Since I have been practicing cutting vectors with a CNC; so including a graphic on the box top seemed inevitable. Also I did not want a standard lid therefore, this lid is hinged from the sides of the box with a brass rod. Nothing complicated – just different from your standard lid. This was more a skill building project than anything hope you find it interesting and different.
Finish is lacquer. Bottom of the box is lined in black felt.

Like most young girls, Charly and Chaney Sellers are glad school is out for the summer. They are enjoying swimming in their backyard pool, playing on their swing set, climbing to their tree house, shooting snakes in the pond with their BB guns, playing with their Great Pyrenees named Sandy, driving the gator and entertaining their little brother. They have invented a new game: frog o'clock. Late in the evening they catch all the frogs they can (and there are a multitude this year), put them in a bucket and release them later.
The daughters of Jay and Christy Sellers, are both students at Waurika Elementary, where they made straight A's, and are on the Honor Roll. Charly received a medal for winning second place in the elementary Spelling Bee this year. They play coach pitch—Mom is their coach—for the Eagles. They are active in 4-H Clover Buds and at the United Methodist Church.
Unlike many other young girls, however, these two are experienced horsewomen and ride almost every day. They are excited about the upcoming events in the Mid-South Youth Cowboy Rodeo Association (MRCA).
Learn more about the Sellers girls in the August issue of OKFR!

A pipe has broken in your home and you have to scramble to remedy the problem as you call the professionals for help. This scenario is one of the biggest fears of homeowners and plays out all too often. Here's what you can do to prevent a broken water line from causing havoc in your home.
First, you must know that preparation is key! You should familiarize yourself with where your main water shut off is inside your home. If you do not have a main water shutoff inside your home, call a plumber and have one installed. But in the meantime, if you don't have one, know where your outside water shut off is located. You can call the utility company and they can tell or show you. The last thing you want to be doing is running around your yard in the middle of the night trying to remember where the shut off is after its buried in a foot of snow or covered in leaves, all while water is soaking your valuables inside your home! With water Time = Damage!
Also, when faced with a leak of this magnitude, make sure to avoid electric outlets or wiring near the leak. Keep in mind that water may be in inside a wall, thus dangerously close to electrical wiring. If possible, get to your home's main breaker and shut off the power. This may seem like an extreme step, but if water has compromised electrical components in your home, you are preventing electrical fires.
Next, use a bucket or trash bin to catch any water. Doing this should buy you some time before you can fix the problem. Make sure the bucket is large enough to collect a substantial amount of water so you are not constantly on the move to empty it. It is also good practice to prevent water from doing harm to your flooring. If excess water finds its way under carpet or laminate flooring, you could have more repairs to make down the road. Lay large towels in the area of the leak so that water does not come in direct contact with the floor.
Now, you should turn off the water to your home. Some homes have shutoff valves that resemble garden hose faucet handles or large levers. If the leak is rather small and can be easily controlled before a plumber arrives, this step may not be completely necessary. Otherwise, find the shutoff and stop the flow to your home.
After the previous steps have been completed, if you are not a handyman yourself, it is wise to call a plumber to fix the pipe and restore your plumbing to working order. You can ask your plumber about ways to prevent future pipe bursts.
Finally, it is important to let the area air out. Open some windows and use a small box fan or two in the area of the leak to prevent mold. Dry the area with a towel and/or power vacuum and let the airflow do the rest.

If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty
"In 1787, when the Constitution was drafted, a woman asked Ben Franklin what the founders had given the American people. "A republic," he shot back, "if you can keep it." More than two centuries later, Metaxas examines what that means and how we are doing on that score."

Each study approved by the IACUC is given an expiration date (also referred to as anniversary date), after which the research cannot be conducted without continuation of approval. In order to maintain a consistent continuing review, all protocol approvals will be limited to one year (or less) and must be reviewed prior to the anniversary date in order to continue.
Researchers may not start or continue activity with animals unless they have an active (i.e., not expired) protocol approved by the CWU Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Investigators should submit the required IACUC continuing review materials at least four to five weeks prior to the expiration date of your approval in order to avoid delays in approval of your ongoing research activities.

Foodily: Making Your Cooking More Social
I am a very novice cook, but I do like to cook and definitely enjoy having friends over for dinner. Sadly, my limited repertoire of tacos, chicken parmesan, a smattering of stir fries and baked chicken can only impress for so long though. Like most novices cooks, I search through a variety of cooking sites for recipes that will taste good and make me look good, but that I also won't mess up. My favorite sites are Epicurious, Cooks.com and FoodNetwork.com. All of them offer a nice selection of recipes and users reviews.
There is a new food website that is getting a lot of buzz that goes beyond just user reviews though – and has $5 million in funding behind it! Meet Foodily – the website that is striving to make your cooking more social.
First, Foodily is an incredible aggregate of all the major cooking websites out there, and also pulls from many excellent cooking blogs. Type in chicken or carrot cake and you are quickly taken to a slick page that easily allows you to scroll through a huge selection of recipes from different sites. As Mashable described it, it's a bit like Google News for recipes (but looks much nicer!). From all the recipes that appear you can select your favorites to create an online cookbook and filter by ingredients – eliminate things you dislike (barf eggplant) or have only recipes with items you love (mmmm sun-dried tomatoes). This alone is enough to make me really like Foodily, but there is more.
Foodily also allows users to integrate their recipes with Facebook directly, making it easy to share recipes and also to know what your friends like. Beyond this, Foodily allows you to create menus and share them through Facebook events, letting guests not only know what you are making, but means they also won't have to ask you for a recipe if they love what you cooked.
The Facebook integration part of Foodily just went live today, so it will take time for people to join and fully realize its potential, but it certainly is a great idea – and even if it doesn't become totally social, it's already a great aggregator of recipes. I know where I will go online to plan my next dinner party!

7 types of documents you need when a parent or loved one dies
Dear Mr. Premack: I live outside Dallas and like reading your column online. Besides his Will, do you have a list of legal Documents I might be looking for now that my Dad has passed away? I have his Will, and am named as his Executor. - RT
First, condolences on the death of your father. You are fortunate that he cared enough about his family to make a Will. The original Will is vitally important, as it not only identifies the heirs but also names you as Executor. Depending on what assets he owned at the time of his death, you may need to probate the Will to be recognized by others (like banks) as the Executor.
Besides the Will, there are a number of documents you should seek.
Click through the slideshow to seven types of documents you should gather after a loved one's death.
Since you are the Executor named in his Will, you should also make an appointment with an experienced probate attorney. Seek advice on the legal procedures which may be required, and move forward to fulfill the instructions your father spelled out in his Will.

In almost all of the video games I play, especially role-playing games (rpg) and action adventure games, there are almost no fat people. Even in games where you can create your own character, there are very limited options. But, these fat bodies are still rather "fit." They're just big and beefy if they're male or big and curvy if they're female. While these bodies do deviate a little from idealized Western bodies, they are still acceptable. In other words, they are larger bodies that "normal" people could still find attractive. In addition, most games that have fat people in them, like The Sims and Saints Row IV, cast those characters, as ugly and/or comical. In all of these cases, fatness is not something to be desired.
One game that I absolutely love is Dragon Age: Inquisition, and I remember that when it came out, I was so excited by how in depth character customization is in the game. And you can even customize your Inquisitor's (Inquisitor is the name of the player's character) body a little bit, but not a whole lot. Below are all of the different body types available in the game, which are restricted by the Inquisitor's race. Even if you make your character a little bit fatter, the rest of the characters will look like this (except with more clothes). I find this very problematic because the world that this game presents has no fat people in it, which suggests that an ideal world should have no fat people in it. While the Dragon Age universe is far from ideal (it is a dark rpg for a reason), its creators felt that fat people have no place in their game/ world, and that continues the idea that fatness is something to be eradicated, that everyone needs to be fit and healthy, even though people do not have to be skinny in order to be healthy.
The most common justification for why fat people are not included in video games is that the player character in most games is physically active, thus they wouldn't be fat. This is completely untrue. Exercise does not guarantee weight loss; some people are just always going to be fatter than others. Perhaps the larger problem is that if a player character were advertised as fat, that character would be seen as unattractive, and ugly doesn't sell. Perhaps that would change if fat bodies were accepted culturally, but how does acceptance happen without representation?

text: Does anybody avoid a lot of things like sports, news, music, comments, TV shows, movies, YouTube videos, and people talking due to anxiety, not wanting to feel inferior to someone, and overthinking? I do all the time so much that I'm behind or I miss out on many things everyday. And sometimes I want to not avoid to catch up but then I tell myself I'm too anxious to do it, I get discouraged, I get scared, or I have what ifs about if something negative happens. It is very scary for me not keeping up because I could miss something important I need to know or something that's dangerous for me at least regarding the news. Also I miss out on a lot of could been conversations and maybe if I didn't avoid I wouldn't be so bored. Also I feel like I'm disappointing people when I tell people I don't watch or follow what is going on in the world whether it be sports, news, or music etc. Any advice for me?

Running with Good Ideas
Factors that make a difference for good ideas to take centre stage: leadership; chance; participatory decision-making; money – and humility to learn from people on the ground.
I can't remember where I found this quote, or its context, and nor did I note its author. I latched on to the words and pinned the statement to the wall in my office. It has become a kind of mantra.
Of course leadership is important in getting good ideas off the ground. We always need people to lead by example, to set a standard, stir the pot, to take charge and to steer us in directions that might have been beyond our courage. We can also be a leader by facilitating and encouraging others to fulfil their dreams. That's a pushing sort of leadership, and let us not deny its effectiveness. Leadership comes in different forms and there is plenty of literature to give us a steer.
Of course money is a big one – we do not get anywhere without it these days. A dollop of money can be just the stimulus to put a good idea into action. I am mindful however that kitchen-table committees established the major institutions of IHC, CCS, Play Centres and Parents Centre, long before government contracts and philanthropic support were readily available.
Of course, participatory decision-making was just what you did back then, and is no less important in organisations right now. When you share common goals and values then sharing in decision-making is plain commonsense.
Chance is a fine thing, so they say. You might have the good ideas, the best leadership, a band of willing supporters and enough funding to cover photocopying and telephone calls. All you need now is a bit of luck, like being in the right place at the right time to mobilise community action. Or to strike the right political moment when governments are willing to listen; when what you offer is what government wants; and when donor organisations put your bright idea on their agenda.
It's that last factor that sticks with me: humility to learn from people on the ground. 'Humility' is a really tricky word. My desk-bound dictionary offers a meaning of 'humble' as having or showing a low estimate of one's own importance. Hello, I think, so this is where managers/leaders of volunteers get their low self-esteem from. Then I find an article that says 'Humility is the most beautiful word in the English language', describing its effectiveness in leading organisations. Other sources tell me 'humility' is a universal religious virtue. So I am discarding my dictionary and the Uriah Heep connotations, and taking up words like 'modesty', and 'unpretentiousness'. I learn about the behaviours of humility: recognising the talents of others, acknowledging my own limitations, and not reaching for what is beyond my grasp. (That way leads to the deadly sin of Pride, the kind that brought the downfall of Faustus and many another.)
So 'humility' brings me full circle back to 'leadership', and I have to conclude that in managing volunteers you cannot have one without the other. When you think about our philosophy and practice there is no other way.

Separate names with a comma.
Didn't know they still made `em? Are they made in U.S. now? don-ohio ^)
Don't know where they're made but was told they're owned by Michelin.
Was planning on replacing plastic parts on my '06 with 88K miles. But then found a leak in the upper corner of the radiator and ordered a new one from Rock @ $287. Should be here Wednesday with a new Degas bottle cap. Should I just change out the upper and lower hoses while I am at it, although they still seem ok? I guess that's up to me but, what parts would be logical to change while replacing radiator, from a convenience pov?
Ordered Qty 20 DORMAN 611-229 Lug Nuts
Woo Woo! JR. Diy Mech strikes again. I reattached the front bumper skin due to a rebar ripping it out. Nice and solid again. Still cant figure out why they Denau manual asked to remove the headlamp! Just a small 1 inch crack that I will likely fill, then maybe paint next.
Touched up the faded gray grill with matte black to match lower bumper & wheels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
How did you get your grill separated like that, Patrick? Might be a dumb question. I had mine off recently to paint the faded gray just like yours, but thought I had to tape off all the chrome. I didn't see a way that it would separate, though it wasn't my main project so I probably overlooked it.
Yeah I just pulled mine off I see no way to separate those pieces. I'm mad now because yours looks so good with that simple "refresh" paint job. The faded gray really diminishes the front end of the car.
Can be done... There's a thread here somewhere...
It was actually quite complicated, including breaking the plastic weld on the opposite side of the emblem and unscrewing the 4 threaded bolts at the top on the backside. I should have taken pictures as I went along but it was too frustrating as it was. Totally worth it though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Better trunk lighting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Enjoyed getting my first of many ETC Failsafe Mode messages on the dash, accompanied by the lovely check engine light, ABS light, Traction Control light as well as the lovely CHECK ADVANCETRAC message. Christmas lights going up early I guess on the cluster.
Happened to me earlier this year. Changed out the ABS wheel sensor and all lights disappeared. Was told that I needed tp change the yaw sensor ($375) but as I said all lights and codes went away when I just changed the cheaper, easier to replace speed sensor on one wheel. "Well, i just changed out the L/R ABS sensor and the ABS light is now off, and the Advance trac light, as well ! Leading me to believe the error codes are related and or the Ford scanner is misleading. Glad I didn't shell out the $375 for the Yaw sensor."
My program only showed the ABS code being for that right rear wheel sensor. I just put a new one on about an hour ago, and all is well. Its crazy how much these vehicles depend on electronics that can/will easily fail with time. These new cars scare me. (PS. I use a $25 wifi OBDII adapter, ELM27 and the free Forscan program on a laptop)
Yes,it IS electronics overkill. We don't need no stinking PCs...LOL! don-ohio ^)
Yes, because carburetors, drum brakes, and manual steering were all so very great. I don't know why the car companies think that consumers want better cars...
Nah,they went overboard and you know it,Joe. There IS a happy medium,but the LS is WAY on the extreme electronic side of that balance. don-ohio ^)
sounds like somebody hasnt stepped inside or looked under the hood of any cars made in this decade... the LS is nowhere near as complicated or as computer controlled as most new cars so I guess you better adapt or get used to repairing stuff to keep the oldies on the road.
Don't worry about me................ALL my stuff stays on the road and runs right! The LSes are just trying to do too much with the PCM,that's all. If the newer cars are worse,then they're worse. The LS is bad enough. don-ohio ^)
Most of the "electronic" issues in the LS can be traced to the CAN bus network - its level of sophistication, its susceptibility to RFI/EMI "noise" and the fact that Ford/Jaguar decided to use the spot welded unibody as a ground path back to the battery. Remember that the design of the LS dates back over 20 years now. The Gen II electronic parking brake control was one of the first on the market. "Bugs" that we see on a daily basis with our cars electronic systems have been addressed and for the most part engineered out of more modern and sophisticated vehicles. As an aside, I personally think that running a heavy ground wire from the battery negative contact point in the trunk up to the engine block may help with potential multi-plane grounding issues in our LS. There is just way too much resistance through all the spot welds in the unibody, especially as the vehicle ages and micro point corrosion become apparent. It may have been quick, easy, cost less and overall expedient to do so when designing and building the car, but 11-18 years (and wet, salty winters) later after 50-200K miles, maybe not so much for the owners. I have relocated batteries in several vehicles over the years for different reasons and I have always had the best results when I run both cables to the relocated battery location. As always of course, YMMV.
I might be speaking with you about this - as I have a lot of extra cable lying around and wouldn't mind testing this theory.
Are you running rear wheels all around?
Changed out both rear calipers and right rear Lower Control Arm on my 04 LSE last night.
I was thinkin,,,,putting all of your 04 stuff in a single thread about it would make it easier to follow. you have done a lot and posted a lot about it and all the pictures.and the story of finding it and driving it home I think all you have done is very interesting and deserves it's own place. just my three cents worth

Ghanaian Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has disclosed that he is not married to his baby mama Shatta Michy.
Speaking on Accra-based Okay FM Shatta Wale said he is not officially married to Shatta Michy even though they have a son together.
"We understand each other and our families are aware we are together and we are like siblings growing as a family. Sometimes I think we need time. There is no need to impress people that we are married. Sometimes the weddings and the whole 'dondoo dondooo' doesn't really mean anything."

Most young people with a mental health condition do not get the treatment they need, says a report published today by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.
11 January 2019
Most young people with a mental health condition do not get the treatment they need, says a report published today by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.
Mental health services for children and young people finds that in 2017-18 only three in ten children and young people with a mental health condition received NHS-funded treatment and many more faced unacceptably long waits for treatment.
The report says that the government has no plan for how it will fulfil its commitment to support children's and young people's mental health, and that the recurring problems with the recruitment and retention of NHS staff have not been tackled.
Sarb Bajwa, chief executive of the British Psychological Society, said:
"Once again, children and young people's mental health hits the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The chronic underfunding of NHS services for children and the lack of services means children are being poorly served by the NHS.
Cuts to local authorities that provide prevention services have also undermined the government's strategy to improve provision. Those cuts have led to a reduction in the number of school nurses and educational psychologists who provide support to children.
It is shameful that in far too many cases children, their families and carers have nowhere to go for support when prevention and early intervention are key to ensuring that mental health issues do not develop into full-blown mental health conditions.
There is a wide range of psychological approaches to improve wellbeing, including cognitive behavioural therapy, positive psychology, parenting programmes and interpersonal therapy.
However, there must be a workforce to deliver these interventions. The government and the NHS have yet to grasp this nettle."
This report comes in the same week that a BPS survey of educational psychologists showed a majority don't believe there is fair access to educational psychology services for all children and young people in their local service.

"A Bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush"
(Magill's Quotations in Context)
Context: Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's peasant squire, argues largely in proverbs, which he calls "clotted wisdom" whose truth has been proved by their very age. The example quoted is certainly ancient. Plutarch (46-120) quoted it in his essay "Of Garrulity" as: "He is a fool who lets slip a bird in the hand for a bird in the bush." And the Englishman John Heywood (1497?-1580) in Proverbes (1546), Part I, chapter 11, declared: "Better one byrde in hande than ten in the wood." Sancho, sent as a messenger to his master's lady, Dulcinea del Toboso, returns with her command that the knight come to her. Don Quixote refuses to attend on her until he has won honor by feats of arms. His squire counsels against delaying:
. . . Take a fool's counsel for once, marry her by the first priest you meet; here's our own curate can do the job to a nicety. Come, master, I have hair enough in my beard to make a counsellor, and my advice is as fit for you as your shoe for your foot:–a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, andHe that will not when he mayWhen he would, he shall have nay.

How to make TestNG automation scripts executable outside the eclipse?
I have written an automation script in eclipse using Selenium TestNG. Now I have to make them executable outside eclipse, so that in every 1 hour the scripts run on their own through a job and send a email to me.
Can it be possible to do ? If yes, please tell how?
Use below command to run your scripts outside of selenium.
java -cp "/opt/testng-6.8.jar:bin" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
In the preceding command we are adding the TestNG JAR and the project compiled code to the Java classpath by using the
-cp option of Java.
/opt/testng-6.8.jar is the path to the
testng JAR where you had downloaded it and it may be different for your system. Also,
bin is the folder containing the compiled code of the Java project. This can be found under the Eclipse project, which is under consideration.
and you can run jobs by using cron expression at cron tab.
I'll suggest you reading: "Compatibility Testing Using BrowserStack & Selenium – TestNG"
