Gabrielle Lefeuvre April 3, 2018
When did you arrive here?
I arrived in August with my parents.
In which city are you studying here?
Only in Budapest.
Why did you choose Pázmány Péter Catholic University?
This school was the one linked to my university in France.
How do you like the university so far?
I really like it, it's weird because I really don't have a lot of courses but those I have I really enjoy.
How much information did you have about Hungary before?
Nothing, it was a huge discovery for me. I already had heard some stuff about Budapest but not so much.
What were your first impressions here?
I arrived in summer so it was hot. It's a very pretty city with a lot of things to visit and see.
Is there anything you don't like so far?
Maybe the weather. I was so hot in summer and so cold in winter, I'm not used to these big changes.
What do you like the most about Budapest?
Living here. There are so many students here and everyone is very easygoing, so it's always a pleasure to meet people.
What is your hometown?
I'm living in Rennes, in France.
Do you miss anything from your hometown?
Not really, I know that I'm here only for one year so it's okay. Maybe I miss some food from my country.
Have you learned any words in Hungarian so far? If yes, give some examples, please.
Yes, a few. But I have not idea of how to write them. Jó napot kívánok, sziasztok, köszönöm, bocsánat, egészségedre, etc.
What is your major?
I am studying International Relations.
Why did you choose this major?
Because I study this in France.
Is there something new or interesting that you have learned in your time here so far?
Yes, a lot. In my course I learn a lot more than in France, I travelled a lot so I learn about geography, politics in Eastern Europe.
Have you tried any Hungarian dishes or drinks yet?
Yes, of course. I love the goulash soup, the chicken paprika, the home made lemonade. I really liked them, I was surprised because I didn't expect this kind of meal.
What is a goal of yours ?
Now that I am discovering that it's so easy to travel I never want to stop.

Sexual innuendo in I Love Lucy
Celtic_Fan replied to chedderchester's topic in STOP THAT! NOW GO BACK AND SIT DOWN!Not sure if anyone has ever brought this up before, but I just caught a very funny and very edgey (for the 1950s) innuendo in the episode "Ricky & Fred are TV Fans". When Lucy and Ethel are sitting in the kitchen near the beginning of the episode, Ethel comments, "You know [Fred] has got himself trained so he can do anything in less than a minute?" Anything? Haha. And the best part is the laughter from the audience. It's not as spontaneous as their laughter at more innocuous jokes ... they kinda start laughing, as if they're hesitant, and then it grows. Just thought that was very, very funny.
It seems that most of her mental illness issues occurred during her third marriage, which we know was abusive. I think perhaps she had a predisposition to depression / anxiety, but the stress of that marriage seemed to have triggered it. If you think about it, her mental illness issues seemed to have pretty much dissipated after her divorce. There is a lot of evidence that abusive relationships can cause a whole range of mental problems, including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Any thoughts?
The Best of Viv
Celtic_Fan replied to HarryCarter's topic in The Flower of AlbuquerqueI think the best work Viv ever did on ILL was in the episode "The Star Upstairs", when Lucy is hanging from the balcony and Ricky walks in. Her expression of panic while trying to distract Ricky is BRILLIANT comedy.

"For congregations that are not growing, there are two choices: 1) The congregation can redefine the vision to match the performance. This is like the child who shot arrows at the wooden fence then drew a bulls-eye around each one where it landed. Sadly, this dumbing-down response to doldrums and decline is widespread. Empty churches rent their facilities to other groups and call them "ministry partnerships." Pastors count new activities instead of new disciples. But there is a better alternative. 2) The congregation can begin the journey, in truth and love, toward accountable leadership. And a clear understanding of accountable leadership is half the journey.
The other half is implementing an honest yet grace-based plan that sets a pastor up for success, and then waiting to see if success is forthcoming. The grace aspect allows ample time; provides ample support; and, when necessary, offers ample help for transition to another job if the pastor cannot lead the congregation to fulfill its mission. "What?" some might say, If the pastor can't lead, then we need a new pastor? Isn't that a little harsh?" Not if you treat people with dignity (e.g., generosity with time and money). But each congregation has to make its own decision: Is the purpose of our ministry to provide secure jobs for our staff? Or is the purpose to accomplish our share of the Great Commission?
From "Winning on Purpose: How to Organize Congregations to Succeed" by John Kaiser

Rents are falling in Williamsburg in anticipation of the L train shutdown
With less than six months left until transit doomsday, AKA the L train shutdown, markets are beginning to respond to the likely behaviors of renters. People who commute from Brooklyn into Manhattan for work (which is, judging by the state of an L train on a weekday morning, most of North Brooklyn,) will be facing a possible nightmare commute. The city has plans for increased buses, shuttles, and ferry routes, but it's unclear to residents if that will be enough to facilitate a normal commute. So as renters attempt to move South to avoid the effects of the shutdown, landlords in Williamsburg are responding by lowering rents.
Landlords are betting that rent cuts will be enough to keep North Brooklyn dwellers from making the trek south. Will it work? Who's to say. There's an average reduction (thus far) of $250. Would that be enough to satisfy you with a questionable commute? The largest discount reported so far is at 44 Berry St., with a $448 decrease.
There's a 25% increase in available apartments, notable for one of Brooklyn's busiest neighborhoods. Newer buildings are also offering concessions in addition to discounts. If you already live in the area, you can also consider negotiating with your current landlord—they might be willing to make offers to get you to stay.
Those who don't commute into Manhattan, whether working from home or in North Brooklyn itself, could find quite the deal with the advent of the shutdown.

What you can do about yourself to become one
By Marilyn Wo
If you are aspiring to become an entrepreneur, you'd like to think that entrepreneurial characteristics can be acquired. You'd rather be in control of your own destiny rather than leave your life to fate.
Truth is, studies have found that nobody is a hundred percent sure if entrepreneurs are born or made. That also means you may already have this set of "entrepreneurial talents" in you just like some people are born athletic.
On the flip side, you don't have to be "born an entrepreneur" right from the get-go.
Though it may mean you'll have to spend more time and effort to figure out what's lacking and learn those skills — one of those reasons why entrepreneurship is not easy for most of us.
Before moving on, let's set a common understanding of the definition of an entrepreneur. Based on Nadim Ahmad and Anders Hoffman:
Entrepreneurs are those persons (business owners) who seek to generate value, through the creation or expansion of economic activity, by identifying and exploiting new products, processes or markets. — Source
In that case, I would like to add that everyone can potentially be an entrepreneur. The difference will be the degree of success and this measurement of success will depend on the individual. Let's assume you have figured out what success means to you.
Here are the things I suggest you do:
Be more self-aware
The term "entrepreneurship" became a buzzword since the 90s and sounds cool. Firstly, be sure that you are not chasing to be labeled as an entrepreneur for this reason. I am guilty to have fallen for that.
When I first graduated from the University, I told myself I wanted to be an entrepreneur but became a freelancer, thinking I've succeeded.
There's nothing wrong being a freelancer. The point here is the illusion that I've won led me to realise I didn't create the business I wanted after ten years.
Secondly, if you want to build a startup, it shouldn't be an end in itself, but a means towards something beyond being an entrepreneur. Are you doing so because you are making the world a better place?
Does it also contribute to you having the lifestyle you've always wanted? Instead of looking for problems to solve, come up with solutions to solve a problem that you see in the world today.
Know the problems and know what you can solve.
In short, nobody can give you sure-fire answers but your own gut. You may have to take years of self-discovery. I would say, it's part of the entrepreneurial journey to learn about yourself. So, go for it.
Enhance your vision
Being aware of yourself is just one part of the process. Studies have shown that if an entrepreneur may be self-aware, but without the experience to "see" a business, there is no entrepreneurial vision.
You may be able to carry on without an entrepreneurial vision. However, "absent vision, the process is less inspired, with less personal passion and leadership commitment to long hours, financial risk, and difficult decision making against uncertain timelines for milestones.
Absent vision, the founder is less likely to inspire the alignment, allegiance, and commitment of resources controlled by other people".
What can you do to develop this vision? The two mental components necessary to make up your vision are values and imagery.
What do you value? Are you looking for a better lifestyle, independence or freedom? Are you looking to improve your wealth, security, fame and social responsibility?
What do you see that nobody else may see? If there's an unmet need in the market, do you have a visual in your mind that shows the outcome after you've implemented your solution?
As listeners, audiences, constituents, and the entrepreneur himself, hear the same story of the nascent venture, they come to "remember" it, to retain the image on an "as if real" basis. — Karl Edward Weick
Get uncomfortable
Sometimes entrepreneurship is not about just working hard. It may mean doing things you do not wish to do. In my case, networking is something I've always been uncomfortable with.
Meeting people brings about excessive cold sweat. I rarely know what to say if you asked me to do cold calls or strike a conversation at a conference.
Towards the end of 2013, my business took a downturn suddenly nobody referred any clients to me. Instead of hiding behind the screen, I realised it was time to venture out of my comfort zone to talk to more people and understand their fears and problems. Doing so turned my business around.
The beginning was a drag, I even made up an excuse that since my husband (our CFO), is better with people, he should network in my place.
When I realised what he learned isn't what I needed to know, I took the plunge. As I met up with more people, I got more insights and that helped make me want to know even more.
Eventually, I signed up for more conferences, meet-ups and started communicating with more people both online and off.
Networking isn't the only skill an aspiring entrepreneur should pick up. Things like patience, persistence, money and positivity are just a few of the many invaluable skills you need.
But most of them may not be within your comfort zone. Instead of putting them aside, schedule your time to work on each of them one at a time.
If taking action is key, getting uncomfortable is the first step to accomplish the skills you need. You'll not only acquire expertise that cannot be taken away, but you'll also gain more confidence and self-efficacy, based on Edwin A. Locke, "self-efficacy is the belief or perception that something is feasible, is a core construct of work on entrepreneurial intention".
If you are truly aspiring to be an entrepreneur or on the brink of giving up, it's time to look inward and towards the future. Then, take action on things that only you can do to bring you there even if you think you suck at them.

Slides, papers, code for Charles Sutton's talk at the
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2017
Syndey, Australia, August 2017
Learning Continuous Semantic Representations of Symbolic Expressions. Miltiadis Allamanis, Pankajan Chanthirasegaran, Pushmeet Kohli and Charles Sutton. In Interational Conference on Machine Learning (ICML). 2017.
Combining abstract, symbolic reasoning with continuous neural reasoning is a grand challenge of representation learning. As a step in this direction, we propose a new architecture, called neural equivalence networks, for the problem of learning continuous semantic representations of algebraic and logical expressions. These networks are trained to represent semantic equivalence, even of expressions that are syntactically very different. The challenge is that semantic representations must be computed in a syntax-directed manner, because semantics is compositional, but at the same time, small changes in syntax can lead to very large changes in semantics, which can be difficult for continuous neural architectures. We perform an exhaustive evaluation on the task of checking equivalence on a highly diverse class of symbolic algebraic and boolean expression types, showing that our model significantly outperforms existing architectures.
We have another web page that contains our data sets and an interactive visualizaton of our learned representations.
I've written a bit about the philosophy of these pages on my talks page.

Shock on prime-time US TV as congressman accuses Fox News anchor of being RUSSIAN SPY
THIS IS the bizarre moment a Democratic Congressman accused a Fox News anchor of being a Russian agent.
Adam Schiff from California, a member of the Congressional select committee on intelligence, called out Russian agents for attempting to unfairly influence the US election.
He alleged a mass email hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) earlier this year was orchestrated by Russia to aid Donald Trump.
Growing weary of Mr Schiff's repeated conspiracy claims, Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson flew into a rage at the Congressman.
"You don't know that!" he said. "I think it is really irresponsible for you to say the Putin government did this."
Mr Schiff, 56, retorted it was Carlson who was irresponsible and told him to look at the evidence.
Tucker Carlson and Adam Schiff came to blows on Fox News
Carlson, one of the star presenters for the leading Conservative news site, then challenged Mr Schiff to stand by his accusations Russia hacked the emails of John Podesta – the former chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
He said: "Can you look right into the camera and say I know for a fact the government of Vladimir Putin was behind the hacks of John Podesta's email?"
The Congressman dodged Carlson's challenge, refusing to directly blame Russia for the Podesta hacks. He did however say Russia had been behind cyber attacks on other US institutions.
He also alleged similar attacks had taken place in Europe.
Vladimir Putin was accused of being behind a hack of the DNC
I think it is really irresponsible for you to say the Putin government did this
As Carlson called him out, Mr Schiff told him former Republican president Ronald Reagan would be "rolling in his grave".
He then told Carlson he was "carrying water for the Kremlin".
The furious spat escalated further after Mr Schiff said Carlson's show would be better suited to Russian-controlled state television.
A disgusted Carlson spat that Mr Schiff's slur was "beneath his office" and branded the the Democrat "dumb".
On July 22 a collection of nearly 20,000 emails were sent to WikiLeaks after the DNC was hacked.
Cybersecurity firms and American intelligence officials said they had "high confidence" Russian agencies were responsible for the hack.
The leak promoted the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, said he hoped the publication of the emails would "harm Hillary Clinton's chances to win the presidency".

These are images of some of the beautiful work by Carina Chitsaz Shoshtary and Annamaria Leiste in their exhibition 'Microphilia', a reference to the micro world they both work in, spending hours working on tiny elements which make up their jewellery. Annamaria's work is made from fish scales amongst other materials, strung upon delicate gold and blackened silver chain. I find her the pieces have a fragile, ethereal beauty. Carina's work is made from pieces of wood that she finds close to her home, she covers these in tiny pieces of graffiti, a signiature material she has been working with for some time. It was a real pleasure for me to get a chance to work so closely with Carina's jewellery, not only are they beautiful shapes with exciting colours, they are also incredibly tactile. I had admired and coveted Carina's jewellery for some time and seeing them up close made me love them even more.
Work Placement: Setting Up the Exhibition
I had a brilliant time helping Carina Chitsaz Shoshtary and Annamaria Leiste set up their exhibition 'Microphilia', which was part of Munich Jewellery Week. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from these two talented ladies. The space they had for the exhibition was fairly small but their idea to fill it with white cardboard boxes made such good use of what space they had, creating an interesting backdrop for the work on display. The jewellery was hung and placed in nooks and crevices all over the installation, making it like a treasure hunt of beautiful objects. The placement of the work was much harder then I had anticipated, it's really important for everything to be harmonious with one another, it was great practice for me to have some input into the display in this exhibition and also to learn from their ideas. They also had the brilliant idea to make display cabinets out of the card board boxes, which they were selling work from (all of which I wanted to buy!) Such a simple but clever idea, it really worked well with the rest of the exhibition, providing some warm light against the cold of the white. I had great fun helping with all the construction, and watching the whole thing come together.
I went to the opening of an exhibition of fourteen different artists at an amazing venue called Villa Stück a couple of nights ago. The exhibition was called GlAmour: Love of Jewellery and it included the work of two jewellery designers who I really love, Peter Chang and Karl Fritsch. Peter Chang makes surreal, fluorescent plastic jewellery which look like some kind of creature from a sci-fi film. Karl Fritsch makes unconventionally beautiful rings using gold, aluminium, diamonds and cubic zirconia amongst other materials , which challenge the idea of precious jewellery.
Poster Ideas
These are some design idea's for an exhibition poster I've been playing around with. 'Ubiquitous Assimilation' means to absorb everything around you all the time, these designs are a visual representation of this idea, with the information being absorbed and then coming out as art (the exit arrow is made up of my drawings) Although my designs are not getting used for this exhibition, I really enjoyed making them and it was great practice for the future
Fixing Mistakes/Making Hinges
After some essential exhibition organising this morning, i've finally made it to the studio! Today I'm re-drilling a hole that I had to fix as the first one was a miniscule millimetre out! This set me back a few hours, which just shows how precise and patient you need to be to create jewellery. I've got the patience, I'm still working on the latter. Ince I have drilled.the hole, its on to the next stage of making a hinge.
Nothing Lasts Forever
For some time now I have really wanted to create a fashion film as I was completely inspired by the amazing one's Nick Knight makes as part of ShowStudio. I like the way the viewer is immersed in the vision of the designer. I've made my own fashion film called 'Nothing Lasts Forever' featuring my beautiful friend Danielle Bentley. I really wanted it to reflect me and my designs, which I have hopefully done! I'm really excited to be showing it along side my jewellery at the exhibition 'Ambiguous Assimilation', details of which are as follows;
Manchester Craft Centre, Space 2 Gallery,
17 Oak St, Manchester M4 5JD
0161 832 4274
Preview Evening – Friday 21st November 5.30-7.30 ( All invited)
Open Saturday 22nd November 10am-5pm
Sunday 23rd November 11am- 5pm
Monday 24th November 10 am- 5.30pm
Tuesday 24th November 10am-5.30pm
Miniature Collections/Exhibition
Since the term began I have been hard at work for an exhibition we are organising as part of my course. The exhibition is entitled 'Ubiquitous Assimilation' and the work is in response to the brief 'Miniature Collections'. I decided to carry on looking into lovers padlocks, which led me naturally to think about lockets. I liked the idea of creating jewellery with the aesthetic of a padlock but the meaning and function of a locket. I'm really excited about the exhibition as I have some ideas to make it interactive with the viewer.

Wave 'fought hard' at FCIACs, scoring medals and led by Luz
Recommended Video:
Timmy Luz led Darien swim-dive at FCIACs, scoring a second place.
"Our boys trained hard during the post-season and fought hard here against many of the very best in the Fairfield conference," said Darien coach Dennis Flores, with the Wave finishing in fifth at the title swim meet at Greenwich recently. "I am happy with the swimmers' performance and our diving program is proven to be first class."
The Wave, 7-3 in dual meets this regular season, scored 271 points.
Greenwich prevailed in defending its FCIAC title with 430 points against contenders New Canaan (367), Staples (297), and Ridgefield (291).
Darien was third in the 200 free relay with Thaj Thompson, Kevin Grune, Connor Martin, Jimmy Terhune swimming it in 1:31.04.
All 24 Blue Wave swim-divers participated in the three-day events, which included swim trials, diving finals, and swim finals.
At the diving competition on March 1, senior Luz received the silver medal for his second place finish with an excellent score of 501.35.
His performance qualified him automatically for All-American.
Junior Wiley Schmidt tied for fourth place and teammate junior Owen Stevens finished in sixth.
In total, the divers brought in 44.5 points, which gave the swimmers a nice head start into the swimming competition.
The Blue Wave had a total of 10 swimmers competing in all 11 events at the finals. Six Wave swimmers received nine medals in five events.
Connor Martin, as a freshman, had an outstanding night for his first FCIAC championships, stepping up to the podium three times.
He received a third place medal in the 200 free relay, a sixth place medal for the 100 fly, and a sixth place medal for the 50 free.
Martin also swam in the 200 medley relay that was fifth.
Senior Thompson had two medals. In the 50 free it was a fourth place tie; a third place medal in the 200 free relay. And he swam in the 400 free relay that was sixth.
Sophomore Spencer Erickson came in sixth in the 100 back and was sixth in the 500 free. He swam in the fifth place 200 medley relay and the sixth place 400 free relay.
Junior Grune received a third place medal for the 200 free relay and swam in the fifth place 200 medley relay.
Senior Terhune had a third place medal for his part in the 200 free relay.
Freshman John Barsanti swam for the 200 medley relay (fifth place) and junior Chris Zhang swam for the 400 free relay (six place).
Most on the team now enters into the tapering period, working to refine technical details and getting some much welcomed rest.
The Blue Wave will compete on March 14 at Wesleyan for the State Class L Championships, where Darien was the runner up to New Canaan Rams in 2016.

If you only knew how many theoretical posts we had in the background, waiting for a quiet day…. but most of them never see the spotlight of this blog site. It's not what we're about, really – telling you how to do stuff. We're more about showing you the possibilities through our experiences. Yet, occasionally, a theory post slips through the net, because we do have ideas. Lots of them. So, here's one about the subject of luck.
Many people regard me as being "lucky". I seem to sail through life unhindered by the many afflictions and wrangles which most people seem to have in their lives. I certainly regard myself as having a "charmed life", especially when it comes to dangerous situations. Luck is one of those concepts like "coincidence". It is a component of a magickal life. Without luck one is resigned to a life of struggle, strife and repression. With luck comes freedom, inhibition and risk-taking. We can begin to see why luck is a much-valued and much sought-after commodity.
We need to differentiate luck as a commodity, or a by-product of a lifestyle versus perceived luck as a product of intervention. Some people say that we are being "watched over" – maybe we have a guardian angel? Such an entity offers us the chance of intervention when events might turn away from our "natural"course in life. I understand that concept, and in some situations I think that could be a viable interpretation for how we escape some potential accidents.
There is also the luck that people perceive to be involved in windfalls, or the sudden accumulation of wealth and power. Largely, this is a product of placing oneself in the right place at the right time through hard work; or of becoming involved in the chance, no matter how small, of winning something. For example, I might be lucky, but if I never enter the lottery then I'll never win the prize! Knowing what I do about this form of luck I can say that if it is in your spiritual development to win such things then you will, and when the time is right. Otherwise, it's just chance. Sheer chance. 'Luck' doesn't come into it.
"Carl Jung viewed luck as synchronicity, which he described as 'a meaningful coincidence'." (source: Wikipedia)
I also think there is a more general condition which we would call "luck". This is the luck which allows one to easily move through life without being affected by restrictions and unwanted human interventions. Often "luck" as a concept is all bundled together as one idea, as though there is only one form of luck. I don't believe this is so. I think luck comes in different forms, and I know that it is possible to work with at least one form in order to promote a smoother transit through life. Let's examine this type of luck in more detail.
History of Luck
What a ridiculous title! I'm not going to discuss the whole history of the concept of luck, but instead point out some salient snippets cherry-picked at random from the timeline of human conceptualization. The Chinese have cultural traditions related to luck, but many of these are simply linguistic associations (e.g.'Ba' – eight, sounds like 'Fa' – wealth; or 'Si' – four, sounds like 'Si' -death).
The more interesting concept energetically is Feng Shui:
"Historically, feng shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs, but also dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious manner. Depending on the particular style of feng shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to local features such as bodies of water, stars, or a compass. " (source: Wikipedia)
The orientation is done in order to ensure the flow of 'chi' (what we call subtle energy) along invisible lines (which they call Dragon Lines, but we call energy leys). The by-product of being "in the flow" of the subtle energy is that the recipient has more luck.
I will pick one more example, and that is from a culture with which I am more closely entwined – the Irish culture. Ireland abounds with superstitions, ritual and folklore associated with luck. For me, it is interesting to note that Ireland is one of the last bastions of the Brythonic (Brittonic) culture, which is most closely associated with the shamanic figure of the druid, and any predecessors of that type.
"Shamans and witches are both respected and feared, based on their ability to cause good or bad fortune for those in villages near them." (source: Wikipedia)
If we surmise that the shaman was someone who was aware of, and indeed worked with, subtle energy; and we consider that the shaman figure has traditionally been considered to be the "arbiter" or "dispenser" of good or bad fortune within remaining and historical tribal cultures, then this makes the association between luck and subtle energy more alluring.
Luck and The Flow
I have talked about my concept of "The Flow of the Universe" on this blog before. What I am describing is the movement of the Universe towards its eschaton, End Time, or conclusion point. The force which drives this movement has at various times been described as "Fate" or even "God". Sometimes God is seen as being a force who designed this flow, rather than the flow itself, but I feel that this does not attribute the right amount of sentience to the universal processes themselves. For me, the Prime Mover is revealed in the movement itself. God is in the 'machinery', if you like.
For me, being in The Flow is being in harmony with the movement of the Universal flow – in tune with the mind of God. This describes the movement of the universe towards its conclusion as though it had some planning behind it, and you were either "with it" or "against it". Humans having Free Will, the decision to flow with or against the natural order is something we are constantly making using our minds. We choose to work in harmony with that flow – to work for the Universe – or to work for ourselves. Luck is a term we use when we are floating along in the Flow of the Universe. Like a leaf on a stream. When we flow, we are lucky. We begin to encounter difficulties (bad luck) when we begin to walk against the current, to fight against the flow trying to bend life's flow to our own will.
Luck and The Will
Just take a moment now to think about a time when you were unlucky. Did that event have any of the following characteristics?
- You were strong-willed and insisted that something be done "your way"?
- You may have noticed portents and omens which made you think twice, but you carried on anyway?
- It was difficult to "push" your will through to a conclusion and even though you may have got there in the end, the result didn't live up to expectations?
- You thought that the "whole world was against you"?
These characteristics are typical of our will exerting itself in the face of the natural flow. There is nothing wrong with Will. Used correctly it can be a powerful tool to effect change, make decisions, and occasionally re-direct ourselves into a stronger current of the universe's flow when we may have been moving in the slow lane. But will can also be used to move against the flow, and this is what I believe brings about "bad luck".
Way of Staying In The Flow
So, if you buy into my idea (and I wouldn't charge you a penny to come along for the ride) here is some guidance about ways to promote that smooth path, and to keep yourself sailing along on the lucky path through life's eddies and whirlpools.
You can bring yourself into better alignment with the flow of the universe by ensuring that your own energy field is balanced and energised. 'Temptations' (those thoughts and desires which move us off our natural course and which divert our willpower) can be deterred, held off, and reflected elsewhere by the maintenance of a strong energy field (or aura). There are many good books which talk about ways to raise your subtle energy levels, but as this is a druid blog I will tell you that I consider the most powerful method to also be the simplest. You can energise your subtle energy field by standing in a subtle energy power centre which is aligned with your own existing field, or which is complementary to your field.
Sounds simple, right? But how do you find such a place? You dowse for it. Or you perceive it. It's one of those places where you instinctively feel good. It might be a special place you visit, maybe it has a wonderful view, an interesting history, or is a place of sanctuary for you when times are hard. If you don't know of such a place already, then I recommend that you dowse for one. Simply ask, "Please take me to a place where my energy can be replenished!" Kal and I do this at every single place we visit on our travels. It's the first thing we do. Why not? Everything you do will be enhanced if your "batteries are charged", so to speak.
This is not a "one off" process. We visit sacred places of power almost every week, and this keeps our energy levels absolutely tip top. We can repair our auras, keep it flowing smoothly, powered up and thus we keep good luck coming our way. Kal's lifestyle is a living example of how this can be done. His every decision is based upon whether it is something that it in tune with the natural order, rather than something that is simply a "want". I'm not suggesting that everyone tries that, but he's a living example of a lucky man.
Maybe it's time you made yourself lucky in life with some energy tuning? Call it a Spring Clean!

1. The coffee pot must be set and ready to go. I've mentioned before that I am not a Keurig person (I just can't get over the fact that you can't clean the inside.....and all that grossness just gets pushed into your cup. Ewwwww), so I always have my coffee pot set at night so that all I have to do in the morning is push "start." There is an automatic button on the coffee pot but I've never learned how to use it. Maybe I should?
2. Empty the sink & clean the counters. There is no greater feeling of being behind than a sink full of dishes. Before bed all of the dishes are loaded into the dishwasher or washed so that the sink is empty. After I start the coffee pot in the morning, I put all of the dishes away while I wait for my morning brew. Also, I just can't stand food that has hardened to the counter tops, or something greasy that is hiding and will be soaked up by the first piece of paper it touches. Yuck! Before bed, once the dishes are done, all of the counters get wiped down & cleaned. A clean kitchen is a happy morning.
3. No Crumb Floors! It drives me batty to walk barefooted through the house and for crumbs to stick to my feet. AHHH! With 2 toddlers and 2 dogs, we have to be diligent to prevent this. Before my kids go to bed they have to put away all of their toys. And before the Mr. & I go to bed we vacuum and sweep all of the floors in the main living areas (dining, kitchen, living room).
4. Clothes Out. Even if we are not going anywhere, my clothes (even if just leggings & a tee shirt), and the kids clothes are set out. When the day is kicked off, this takes one decision off my plate.
5. Shower Time. I'm going to go out on a limb here & assume that most women with small children find it pretty challenging to shower. There is just no good time when the kiddos are awake. So if I want a shower, and I do, then I have to do in while they are sleeping.
Those are my top 5 things. Now I should also add a 6th- check the washer for wet clothes.....but I'm not sure my brain could handle a 6th item. With my coffee set, some decisions taken care of, a clean house & a clean mama, I can go to bed with a clearer head knowing that I will wake up to a clean home that will hopefully lead to a smoother morning where I can actually get some time in the Word before the kids get up.
What about you?
What things do you do before going to bed that make your mornings smoother?

I began this journey as a certified Pastry Chef in New York City. While working 50-60 hour weeks, overnights, and coming home smelling of sugar, I discovered my love of stickers and knew right away I knew I wanted to make them. I saved for years to buy my first Silhouette Portrait Machine, and spent many frustrating months trying to teach myself how to make the perfect planner stickers.

The Synaptics Gesture Suite enables a variety of useful features for supported laptop touchpads. My favourite is 'ChiralScroll', which allows you to scroll by making a circular motion on the touchpad. Synaptics actually offers generic drivers on their website now, so you can download them directly without needing to go via the usual websites.
Unfortunately, the cursor used for ChiralScroll leaves a lot to be desired:
At the very minimum, it doesn't mesh well with the cursors found in the Windows Aero theme. I decided this would be a better cursor:
I'm misappropriating the 'Move' cursor here (a separate metaphor), but I think the image fits with scrolling to some extent. Let me know if you can come up with a better alternative.
Read on for instructions on replacing the cursor.

Clerk of Superior Court and Coroner
Leave these two offices blank as there is no opposition for either office.
Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor
We recommend only Roger Eaker for this office. The reason is simple. William Walker and Paul Davis are presently serving on this Board and Roger Eaker is not. The founders of The United States believed that political offices should be changed out on a regular basis and I can't argue that point with the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor is an unpaid position with a mixture of elected and appointed members. The work of this Agency is usually low-key and almost never makes the News. We suspect only a small group of individuals are interested in this important but payless and thankless job. So, in the interest of not burning any of them out, we would recommend voting for the individual that is presently not on this Board and thanking those that have previously served.
Referendum-Constitutional Amendment
We recommend Voting AGAINST this Constitutional Amendment. First of all, what purpose would this Constitutional Amendment serve? The Office of Sheriff is an elected office and voters decide who may serve as their Sheriff. What is wrong with that? "Nothing" is the answer, even though voters make mistakes on occasion. Re-electing Sheriff Raymond Hamrick is a good example of that.
In 2002, CGG recommended electing Raymond Hamrick for Sheriff. Electing Hamrick Sheriff in 2002 was the right thing to do. Things were different in 2006 so CGG recommended Don Allen for Sheriff. Not enough people listened and we had four more years of Raymond Hamrick mostly missing in action because of his health.
The political process in Cleveland County and North Carolina is not perfect. Would such a Constitutional Amendment, advocated by Debbie Clary and Tim Moore, make it any more perfect? The answer is NO!!!
There are several problems with this Constitutional Amendment. Not the least of which is, why is it needed in the first place? The answer to that is any law barring anybody otherwise legally able to run for Sheriff is UN-Constitutional. These nitwits in Raleigh, headed up by Debbie Clary and Tim Moore, have learned this the hard way. The retroactive law that was passed to TRY to take gun ownership away from folks in David Morrow's situation was found UN-Constitutional the first time it hit the Court of Appeals. Go back and read about Judge Rick Elmore. So the nitwits decide they will go about this same kind of monkey business in a different way. They would change the NC Constitution to make an UN-Constitutional law Constitutional. Just wait until this hits the US Courts and the US Supreme Court hears about this. Many lawyers will make tons of money over this boondoggle
