Here is a synopsis of an article I have written for a publication.
The 10 Commandments for the Future of Vision Care
By Roberto Kaplan O.D., M.Ed., FCOVD.
.........conventional medicine, .....treats the symptom of the problem. This approach considers the absence of symptoms being good health. The second possibility, is to recognize the real origin of disease and eye problems. A human being that is out of balance. Not only in their physical life, but their emotional and spiritual one too.
..........Like in biblical times, there are commandments that show the way to enlightenment. These could be the steps to go beyond a symptom based medical model of treatment. An approach that is Holistic in its foundation, and redirects the responsibility for healthy eyes back to the patient.
..........I explored the visual findings ..as my way of understanding the relationship between the human being and what their deeper perceptual 'seeing' was communicating to me through my vision analysis findings.
.......Our vision care delivery is influenced by industry and politics, rather than conscious Holistic health care practice.
....The ever growing presence of the Internet in people's lives is accelerating the interest in self-help approaches to health in the U.S. and other countries.
.......This opens up the possibility for us as Optometrists to provide a healthy truly therapeutic form of vision care. Our Optometric profession must take a stand for the future - Prevention. If we don't, we will always be subservient to Medicine and Ophthalmology.
....The 10 Commandments are a modern extension of standard clinical methods, with an upgrade for the complex virtual world and technological time we live in.
What are the 10 Commandments?
.......The commandments speak less to a technique or method of use, but more to the way of how to be with the patient. To see their eye problems as part of a continuum of their life struggles and evolution.
Here are the 10 Commandments:
Commandment 1 - Treat the human who sees not with the eye, but through the eye
........Light does enter the eye. This light is transformed by refraction. The upgrade in thinking is that the light carries information. It is not the light per say that we are interested in. It is the invisible information with in the light that provides the impetus for perception. It is perception that ultimately determines how and what we see. When the upside down information is correctly received and processed through the brain, an accurate perception is formed. Note, I stated through, not in the brain.
...........How receptive the tissue and structures of the eye is to the incoming light is dependent on how present or aware the person is behind the eye.
.....This quiet 'brain state' gives them the ability to see more deeply into themselves and life, with less effort and time. Their visual performance far exceeds that of Western intellectual counterparts.
Commandment 2 - How the patient sees, and what we measure in the eye, is a reflection of their perceptions
.......The brain and the human spirit determines how and what is seen. So, when an abnormality is measured in the eye, such as Myopia, Astigmatism, suppressions, Glaucoma etc., the source of the problem is behind the eye.
Commandment 3 - Do not treat or try and fix the diopters, suppressions, lack of visual acuity, eye diseases, phorias, and other eye findings. Use them to
define what the eye is communicating about deeper perceptions of the person's whole existence
......Consider that our usual eye measurements, and their relationships to the patient's symptoms, are a print-out and communication from the brain.
......This messaging implicates the presence of a survival perceptions, like fear or anger.
.......It could be stated that an eye suppression is a one sided suppression of thinking, feeling or emotional perceptions. Psychiatrist Frederick Schiffer, has identified localized areas of emotional activity related to light coming through one eye.
.......The still state of seeing gives the freedom to deal with life problems from a less reactive position. Less terror, wars, anger and a return to honoring the unity of the human family on this Earth.
Commandment 4 - Prescribe glasses that are preventive and therapeutic because the 'correct the refractive error' glasses do not correct anything
......At the core of a new form of lens prescribing is the premise that the visual system is a natural biofeedback system.
......The patient is coached to become aware of what circumstances in their life produces changes in visual acuity. That is, when does the visual acuity seem less clear and visa versa, when does it increase. Variables like certain foods, fatigue, excessive computer use, and spending time outside produces changes in visual acuity.
Commandment 5 - Prescribe minus lenses in the direction of a parasympathetic stimulant (less minus and more plus), since minus lenses that compensate for
20/20, or 100% eyesight, are a sympathetic stimulant, a drug.
..........The fifth commandment is each time a new minus lens prescription is written, REMEMBER, you are ordering the patient to look through glasses that is a stimulant, like 'speed'.
.........you are locking them into survival perceptions of their inner unclearness. This is like supporting an addictive process of not becoming aware.
.....The emerging integrated model of vision care supports the patient in looking at their 'drugged' way of perceiving. To help them look through lenses that wake up their perceptual consciousness. All inhabitants of our planet Earth need to correctly see themselves and outside in order to restore the survival way we are living. It begins with our perceptions.
Commandment 6 - Prescribe glasses, with an integrated vision therapy approach, thus giving the patient the self responsibility for their vision future
.........it is a chance for the patient to experience the deeper connection between their life processes and change in perceptions.
.......If they need to block a certain life experience, there will be lower visual acuity, or they will suppress the view through one eye.
Commandment 7 - Observe and learn how every eye condition of refraction or disease is a view into how the patient is deviating from their fundamental perceptual EyeCode®. (That is their God given way of perceiving)
Every condition or variation that we measure at the level of the eye is a reflection of an avoidance of perception in the inside world of the patient.
.......The Iris EyeCode® shows the fundamental core perceptual style of the patient, either a logical, feeler or emotional processor.
.......The Diopter and Disease EyeCode® reveal the deviations from the core perceptions that are related to life conditioning. These are the environmental conditions that begin after birth.
.....My findings suggest that when the patient finds out about this inner and outer connection, they are more motivated to take self responsibility for their eye problems.
Commandment 8 - Consider all treatments for eyes to be connected to where the patient is in their life cycle, that is, the variables before their current chronological age, and the future.
.........It seems that our perceptions of thinking, feeling and emotions are given repetitive chances to evolve themselves.
........... The eye condition and the patients age guide us to prescribe lenses that will support the patient's life process rather than just giving them false sense of sharpness of eyesight, such they can continue being unconscious of their fears or need to evolve.
Commandment 9 - Examine the eye and visual findings to reveal how well the patient is integrating their perceptions of thinking, feeling and emotion.
......Evolvement of inner vision is a life process of integrating perceptions of thinking, feeling and emotion.
.......Clinically, I have observed that many patients under life and visual stress lose the ability to keep this integrated Binocular status of multidimensional vision. If the perceptual state gets stuck in either thinking, feeling or even emotion, a survival state of vision is cemented. This limits the capacity for the eye to receive light and sets up the patient for a lack of fulfillment in their life.
Commandment 10 - The vision care program must address the reality that at the very core of measured vision problems is an inability for the patient to handle emotional incongruity.
.......One of the most difficult future steps for the profession of Optometry to take is to recognize and acknowledge that at the very core of measured vision problems is an inability for the patient to handle emotional incongruity.
.......Biological changes at the level of the eye are printouts of survival nature of the human beings brain state.
........I offer these commandments to our profession. Upgrade now, it is time and there is a brilliant possibility.

A lot of readers write in asking what about external balances – what they mean etc. They are also sometimes puzzled why I say that the external sector in Australia is currently (and typically) draining real growth in the economy when at the same time they read that the terms of trade are at record levels and that we are in the midst of a "once-in-a-hundred-years" mining boom which is reshaping our economy. So today's release by the ABS of the latest (September quarter 2011) – Balance of Payments and International Investment Position, Australia – provides me with a platform for a brief (I promise) explanation of these concepts and how they might be interpreted from a Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) perspective. The bottom line is that for Australia, our external sector continues to drain growth.
While the following link takes you to the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position, Australia: Concepts, Sources and Methods – the principles that are outlined there are common across all economies (although some of the terminology might differ).
The ABS follows the "internationally accepted standards coordinated by the IMF. The full IMF BOPS Manual is worth reading if you are unsure of the concepts.
The Balance of Payments and International Investment Position accounting structures feed into the System of National Accounts 2008.
I should add that writing these types of blogs also somewhat advances the macroeconomics textbook that I am writing with Randy Wray. So there is a payoff in that respect for the time taken.
The summary results from today's ABS release were:
- The current account deficit, seasonally adjusted, fell $A1,023 million (15 per cent) in the September quarter 2011. The surplus on the balance of goods and services rose $A583 million (9 per cent). The primary income deficit fell $A420 million (3 per cent).
- In seasonally adjusted chain volume terms, the deficit on goods and services rose $A1,930 million (17 per cent).
What does that mean? The most significant thing is that when tomorrow's National Accounts data is released by the ABS for the September 2011 quarter it will show that the external sector has drained real growth by 0.6 per cent. That is, the external sector is a contractionary force.
This should also be put in context of last week's "mini-budgets" announced by the Australian Treasurer in the form of the Mid-year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2011-12 (November 29, 2011). Please read the following blog – Autumn or Spring – the madness continues – for a discussion of that announcement.
The fact is that while the Australian government is hell-bent on reducing its deficit to ensure it is in surplus next year, the other macroeconomic sectors – the external and private domestic – are not exactly playing ball. Which should tell the Government something but it seems to have been lost in their ideological blindness.
While private capital formation is strong (associated with large mining infrastructure projects), the household saving ratio has been rising and there remains an unwillingness to return to the pre-crisis consumption growth (which was fuelled by an unsustainable escalation in private debt).
Add in the fact that the external sector is draining demand overall then you might wonder about the logic of the government sector wanted to undermine aggregate demand growth especially when broad labour underutilisation rates stand at around 12.5 per cent with updated numbers coming soon.
Then we add in the latest news from Asia where reports are saying that the "Asian Development Bank has trimmed its 2012 growth forecast for emerging East Asian economies including China, as the eurozone turmoil threatens to drag the global economy back into crisis".
The Sydney Morning Herald (December 6, 2011) has a story – East Asian economies facing euro headwinds – which reports that the ADB has:
… mapped out an "extreme scenario" of European and US meltdown, which could shave 1.2 per cent off growth next year in East Asia including Japan, from a forecast 5.4 per cent to 4.2 per cent … The worst-case scenario is for both the US and eurozone to fall back into recession, pushing the global economy into a deep slump …
This has direct implications for Australia's external sector on both the price (terms of trade) and volume (actual real goods and services exported) which will further undermine our national growth rate.
Which is one of the reasons that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut interest rates again today. In the official statement by the RBA Governor we read:
… the Board decided to lower the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.25 per cent, effective 7 December 2011.
Growth in the global economy has moderated this year after a strong performance in 2010 … China's growth has been slowing … Trade in Asia is now, however, seeing some effects of a significant slowing in economic activity in Europe. The sovereign credit and banking problems in Europe, to which European governments are still seeking to craft a full response, are likely to weigh on economic activity there over the period ahead …
So overall some "headwinds" from abroad which the RBA believes will moderate the inflation risk in Australia.
Now has does that all fit in with an interpretation of what is going on in the external sector for Australia?
The broadest external account is the Balance of Payments which the IMF Manual describes as:
The balance of payments is a statistical statement that summarizes transactions between residents and nonresidents during a period. It consists of the goods and services account, the primary income account, the secondary income account, the capital account, and the financial account.
So there are several accounts that constitute the Balance of Payments and these accounts can be disaggregated further:
1. Current Account:
1a. Balance on goods and services ("the balance of trade")
1b. Primary income
1c. Secondary income
The IMF say that the "current account shows flows of goods, services, primary income, and secondary income between residents and nonresident".
Further, the "current account balance shows the difference between the sum of exports and income receivable and the sum of imports and income payable (exports and imports refer to both goods and services, while income refers to both primary and secondary income)."
2. Capital Account
The IMF say that the "capital account shows credit and debit entries for nonproduced nonfinancial assets and capital transfers between residents and nonresidents. It records acquisitions and disposals of nonproduced nonfinancial assets, such as land sold to embassies and sales of leases and licenses, as well as capital transfers, that is, the provision of resources for capital purposes by one party without anything of economic value being supplied as a direct return to that party".
3. Financial Account
The IMF say that the "financial account shows net acquisition and disposal of financial assets and liabilities".
There were some concepts that need explaining which I will return to.
Overall, when the current account is in deficit the economy is net borrowing from the rest of the world – tapping foreign savings. Similarly for the capital account. The sum of the two equals the net balance on the financial account – which thus summarises the net lending (borrowing) position of the nation with respect to the rest of the world.
To give us a reference point, I compiled the following table from the September quarter 2011 ABS Balance of Payments. It shows the broad component accounts and the balances.
Australia is an importer of capital and so accumulates liabilities in terms of interest and dividend payments to the rest of the world.
If you look at the financial account you will notice categories like direct and portfolio investments. Direct investments are in productive equipment, infrastucture etc while portfolio investments are in shares, derivatives and are in my view mostly unproductive and would be declared illegal in a perfect world where financial stability was foremost in the policy makers priorities.
The point though is that these flows of investment then generate income flows in the form of interest, income on equity and other income.
Australians also receive income flows for investments they make abroad but these are swamped by the repatriations we make to foreigners.
To examine the current account in more detail and to help address the quandary that people are in when they hear me say the external sector drains demand yet the terms of trade is at record levels consider the following graphs.
The first graph (taken from the ABS Publication – Balance of Payments and International Investment Position – shows the seasonally adjusted real balances for goods and services to September quarter 2011. The deficits has been growing. The ABS estimate that in:
… volume terms, is expected to detract 0.6 percentage points from growth in the September quarter 2011 volume measure of GDP …
To clarify, economists talk about current price series and real (constant) prices series. The current price series are self explanatory and refer to the market prices that are prevailing at the time of the transaction. However the total value of the transaction is a mixture of the price and quantity (volume) and over time GDP at market (current) prices might rise by 3 per cent per annum but if inflation is running at 3 per cent then the economy has stood still in real terms (that is, how much was actually produced).
At any rate, volumes are declining on both goods and services (for temporary reasons relating to the difficulties coal production has faced after the floods earlier in the year, and for other more substantive reasons).
To overcome this problem of interpretation, real (or chain-volume) measures of activity are devised whereby the original current price series are deflated (divided by) special measures of price change. So in the above simple case, real GDP growth would be recorded as zero even though nominal (market price) growth was 3 per cent.
The next graph (also taken from the ABS publication) shows the terms of trade which the ABS says are "were the highest on record" in September quarter 2011. So we are getting record prices (relative) for our exports which adds to national income. But exports volumes (goods and services) are being outstripped by import volumes.
The balance between the volume and price movements for goods and services produced a record-high surplus of $A6.8 billion (current prices) which adds to national income (and aggregate demand).
So that is the "mining boom" (record terms of trade) effect.
However, the income drain from the Primary Income payments more than offsets that surplus to generate an overall Current Account deficit. That is the context in which the external sector is draining income from the economy.
Does that matter?
In this blog – Do current account deficits matter? – I discuss that issue from an MMT perspective.
In MMT, a current account deficit attracts no particular importance. However there are some interesting points to make.
First, focusing on the volume side – real goods and services, it is clear that for an economy as a whole, imports represent a real benefit while exports are a real cost. Net imports means that a nation gets to enjoy a higher living standard by consuming more goods and services than it produces for foreign consumption.
Further, even if a growing trade deficit is accompanied by currency depreciation, the real terms of trade are moving in favour of the trade deficit nation (its net imports are growing so that it is exporting relatively fewer goods relative to its imports).
So at present, Australia is sacrificing real resources and getting less back in real terms. It might be argued (and I would probably agree) that the export is a cost, imports a benefit equation is dependent on the composition of each.
Australia is a primary commodity exporter and is sometimes referred to a "big hole in the ground". The mining sector operates in the outback – remote and distant from the main population. The extent to which the exports are a "sacrifice" is arguable. But then I also sympathise with the view that we should evaluate that in broad terms.
So for indigenous Australians who live in the mining areas and have had a very long historical attachment to the ground and for our environmental concerns it is highly likely that the sacrifices to mining exports are large.
Second, the Current Account balance is really being driven (and always has) by the Primary income payments (net to foreigners). This raises all sorts of questions about foreign ownership and resource sovereignty and the like. MMT doesn't have a "view" on that but I recognise the debate.
The repatriation of income issue is particularly pertinent for nations like Ireland.
Third, Current Account deficits reflect underlying economic trends, which may be desirable (and therefore not necessarily bad) for a country at a particular point in time. For example, in a nation building phase, countries with insufficient capital equipment must typically run large trade deficits to ensure they gain access to best-practice technology which underpins the development of productive capacity.
A current account deficit reflects the fact that a country is building up liabilities to the rest of the world that are reflected in flows in the financial account. While it is commonly believed that these must eventually be paid back, this is obviously false.
As the global economy grows, there is no reason to believe that the rest of the world's desire to diversify portfolios will not mean continued accumulation of claims on any particular country. As long as a nation continues to develop and offers a sufficiently stable economic and political environment so that the rest of the world expects it to continue to service its debts, its assets will remain in demand.
However, if a country's spending pattern yields no long-term productive gains, then its ability to service debt might come into question.
Therefore, the key is whether the private sector and external account deficits are associated with productive investments that increase ability to service the associated debt. Roughly speaking, this means that growth of GNP and national income exceeds the interest rate (and other debt service costs) that the country has to pay on its foreign-held liabilities. Here we need to distinguish between private sector debts and government debts.
The national government can always service its debts so long as these are denominated in domestic currency. In the case of national government debt it makes no significant difference for solvency whether the debt is held domestically or by foreign holders because it is serviced in the same manner in either case – by crediting bank accounts.
In the case of private sector debt, this must be serviced out of income, asset sales, or by further borrowing. This is why long-term servicing is enhanced by productive investments and by keeping the interest rate below the overall growth rate. These are rough but useful guides.
Note, however, that private sector debts are always subject to default risk – and should they be used to fund unwise investments, or if the interest rate is too high, private bankruptcies are the "market solution".
Only if the domestic government intervenes to take on the private sector debts does this then become a government problem. Again, however, so long as the debts are in domestic currency (and even if they are not, government can impose this condition before it takes over private debts), government can always service all domestic currency debt.
You will also observe from the Table above the size of the portfolio investment flows on the Financial Account. How productive these are in terms of advancing the welfare of Australians is highly questionable.
Overall, MMT highlights that fact that a Current Account deficit can only occur if the foreign sector desires to accumulate financial (or other) assets denominated in the currency of issue of the country with the deficit. It is always better if this deficit is accompanied by a trade deficit.
Then we know that the foreign country is depriving their own citizens of the use of their own resources (goods and services) and net shipping them to the country that has the trade deficit, which, in turn, enjoys a net benefit (imports greater than exports). In this context, a Current Account deficit means that real benefits (imports) exceed real costs (exports) for the nation in question.
So a Current Account deficit will persist (expand and contract) as long as the foreign sector desires to accumulate local currency-denominated assets. When they lose that desire, the deficit gets squeezed down (to zero perhaps). This will almost certainly be painful for a nation, especially if it is enjoying a balance of trade deficit.
The adjustments can sometimes happen quickly which intensifies the pain.
But the overall point for Australians is that while we are enjoying record terms of trade and massive investment in infrastructure to service the external demand for our commodities, the external sector overall is still a negative force on aggregate demand in real terms.
Not much time today!
Tomorrow the National Accounts come out and I will report on them. By Friday the Euro cabal will deliver their latest stunt and we can examine that. Many people have written to me asking about debt brakes. Brakes are good on cars but should not be imposed on fiscal policy – more later on that.
Tomorrow and Thursday I am hosting the Annual CofFEE Conference (aka the 13th Path to Full Employment Conference/18th National Unemployment Conference) in Newcastle. So I will have limited time to write.
That is enough for today!

6. Update the documentation on your learning disability. Students who want accommodations from their colleges must have documentation confirming the diagnosis that is generally no more than one or two years old, college officials say.
[Learn the secrets of getting off of a college waitlist.]
7. Accentuate the positive. Applicants aren't required to inform colleges of their learning difficulties, and many students keep quiet for fear of hurting their chances of admission. Federal law bans colleges from discriminating based on disability, but it doesn't require colleges to give any special admission breaks to learning disabled students. Many admissions officers, including David Hautenan, associate dean of admissions at Northeastern University in Boston, say, however that students who can explain a bad grade or test score, or who use their application essays to show how they've overcome their challenges and "developed resiliency," improve their chances of admission.
8. Consider extra help. A few colleges, such as Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, N.J., offer extra counseling and tutoring to learning disabled students at no extra charge. But most colleges charge anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $3,000 per semester for extra support for learning disabled students. Grants and scholarships to cover those extra costs are scarce. Some students are able to persuade their state's vocational rehabilitation offices to pay for the extra services, though. Colleges add the extra fees into the student's total cost of attendance so that the students or parents can qualify for larger loans.

The sport of skiing can create stress on our knees that can eventually lead to knee pain.
The knee joint is controlled and supported by the large thigh muscle called the quadriceps. The quadriceps start above the hip and attach to the top of the shinbone via a tendon, which has the kneecap, or patella, built into it.
When we "squat down" to compress into a ski turn, the quadriceps contract to prevent the leg from giving out. This force puts a lot of pressure on the bones of the knee, particularly the kneecap. If these bones are injured or damaged, there will often be pain. This kind of pain could be prevented and/or eased by developing strong thigh muscles, and by wearing a brace.
Interestingly, when I was skiing in Colorado few years ago, I encountered another unique "knee saving" device called Constant-force Articulated Dynamic Struts, or CADS for short. The CADS device was developed by Vail-based engineer/inventor Walter Dandy as a suspension system to relieve knee pain. Each strut is a fiberglass rod, which is attached to the back of the ski boot, and runs up the back of the leg. A cable is anchored at the upper end to a pelvic harness and suspended over a pulley at the top of the rod. The bottom end of the cable attaches to a thick rubber band, fixed to the back of the ski boot.
When the knee bends, the body weight loads onto the pelvic harness. The force is then transmitted via the cable and rod down the back of the leg to the elastic band. As the elastic band stretches, it unloads the thigh muscle at the front and takes stress off the knee. I heard about the CADS system when a friend with an injured knee asked me if I would go with him to try it out. I have to admit I was very skeptical. As the two of us were getting fitted with the device, it felt awkward, and to say the least, looked quite unusual. However I was able to get comfortable with it and was very impressed at how effective it was.
Even though I don't have knee problems, I could appreciate how much stress was taken off my quads. All sorts of skiers wearing CADS came up to chat with us and rave about the benefits. The CADS system is a useful adjunct for many skiers with knee pain and other medical problems that weaken the thigh muscles, such as MS. If you are interested go to www.cads.com.

Sun printing (also called cyanotype) was originally developed by Anna Atkins (a British botanist, 1799-1871), who used the process to document and catalog plants. She felt it was more accurate than her drawings. There is a great telling of the story of the algea that she first documented at Venetian Red.
The process (as applied to more than just scientific record keeping) reveals beautiful results that are perfect for decor of all kinds.
Both Martha Stewart and Garden Design have nice write-ups about the how-tos. You can get printable fabric at blue prints on fabric.
You can also learn more about doing it yourself from a Print Workshop: Hand-Printing Techniques and Truly Original Projects by Christine Schmidt of Yellow Owl Workshop.
I am excited to give this old craft of mine a new twist. Maybe I can even get my kids hooked on it, and one day when they are 30-something, they can say, "Hey, that's not new! I used to do blah blah back when I was blah blah..."

Inventory and Monitoring
NPS Photo Inventory and monitoring (I&M) builds a strong scientific foundation for the management and protection of natural resources in national park areas. Effigy Mounds National Monument is a member of the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network, fifteen parks in the Midwest that share resources and professional expertise to inventory and monitor natural resources. To verify records of which plants and animals live in the parks, teams of scientists from parks and universities inventory plants, mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. Park managers use this data to monitor the vital signs--measurable, early warning signals of significant changes--to assess the long-term health of natural systems. |
Did You Know?
Stephen H. Long, of the U.S. Army's Topographical Engineers, explored and described the Effigy Mounds National Monument region in expeditions undertaken in 1817 and 1823. Long was one of the first to document the presence of mounds in the Upper Mississippi River Valley.

Optimal taxation as a guide to tax policy: a survey
The purpose of this paper is to survey the field of optimal taxation. In order to provide a focus, and bearing in mind the interests of many of the readers of Fiscal Studies, the paper will concentrate on attempting to answer the question of whether, and to what extent, the literature on optimal taxation can provide guidance in the practical determination of tax policy. This focus means that the survey will be selective, and will neglect many intellectually interesting results that have not yet been developed to provide clear policy conclusions. It is an interest in tax policy that has led a number of economists to undertake research on optimal taxation, and so one might expect the link between the research and the policy-making to be clear. However, the level of abstraction of much of the research, together with the extensive use of (sometimes difficult) mathematics, has caused many policy-orientated people to discount its practical value. It is dismissed as being "academic', with little or no practical value. For some, the mere title of the field is off-putting: how can any aspect of public policy, with all its political constraints and administrative problems, ever hope to be optimal? Particularly, how can anything as unpopular as taxation be described in such terms?Download Info

Compact keyboard stands for the iPad
August 28, 2011
Talking about stands for the iPad that would work just as well regardless of iPad orientation, and regardless of whether your work surface is a tabletop or your lap, we proposed a unique design back in May:
…a more convenient accessory for the iPad would be a well-designed "clip" that attaches to Apple's bluetooth keyboard with a stand for the iPad in either orientation. This would be a fairly small gadget, would complement existing iPad accessories, and allow one to use the iPad in a lap environment without forcing the user into a given orientation. There are several accessories that exist to incorporate a physical keyboard into an iPad user's workflow, but nothing yet that's this versatile which maintains the iPad's flexibility for supreme mobility when a physical keyboard isn't needed.
Shortly after we wrote that, we placed an order for the InCase Origami Workstation, which we've used ever since. Our only complaint with the InCase solution is that because the Origami Workstation wraps around Apple's bluetooth keyboard, there's wasted space in our briefcase when we travel. Before, the bluetooth keyboard could be slid between papers, or sit battery-side down against the briefcase wall, but with the Origami Workstation wrapped around it, the keyboard is a larger "wedge" that takes up more room. It's not a huge deal, but when space in the briefcase is at a premium, we'd prefer a smaller footprint.1
![Apple bluetooth keyboard inside InCase Origami Workstation.] (http://beastwith.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/wpid-Photo-Aug-28-2011-958-PM.jpg)
Fortunately, there's a solution on the horizon that's a much closer match to what we described back in May. Before funding ended, we managed to support Kickstarter project WINGStand, which is a two-part clip system that attaches to an Apple bluetooth keyboard, allowing you to rest an iOS device on the resulting stand. As soon as our WINGStand arrives, we'll be sure to comment on real-world use. But, if you missed the Kickstarter campaign and can't wait to pick one up now, there's a web site set up to take orders.
Yes, we realize that's anal. ↩

SPARTANBURG, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Restoration, an Americana - rock band whose music and lyrics reveal culture-shaping social issues of the early twentieth century, will perform songs from their debut album "Constance" and their latest releases this Thursday, March 21, at 7:00 PM in Gibbs Auditorium on the campus of Spartanburg Methodist College. The event is free and open to the public.
"I first heard of The Restoration while flipping through a music magazine. I thought the album, music and the group's musicians sounded interesting"
Since its release in 2010, several South Carolina educators have embraced the album "Constance" as a contemporary teaching tool. The concept album and the group's performances, have become a recurring part of the literature and history curriculum at Spartanburg Methodist College.
"I first heard of The Restoration while flipping through a music magazine. I thought the album, music and the group's musicians sounded interesting," explained Dr. Jonathan Sedberry, Ph.D., at Spartanburg Methodist College. "After seeing them perform, I was blown away and thought the study of the album and lyrics could help attract students to fiction and poetry and extend the purpose of our learning community at SMC.
"Constance" is a truly remarkable work of art and though not equal to the work of Whitman or Frost, it possesses the complexity and cultural force to be studied alongside such giants of American literature," stated Sedberry.
Additionally, The Restoration will perform songs from their most recent album, "Honor the Father" and their upcoming new release, "A Voice Wild and Strange".
Musically, The Restoration is a fresh, creative force in the evolution of traditional and regional music, providing a living, contemporary voice that embraces overlapping genre boundaries while remaining aware and respectful of music history. This will be their third performance at Spartanburg Methodist College.
Spartanburg Methodist College is South Carolina's only private, residential college exclusively for freshmen and sophomore students and one of only four colleges in South Carolina affiliated with the United Methodist Church. SMC's mission is to transform lives in a values-oriented, student-centered atmosphere in the Christian tradition that encourages academic excellence, intellectual exploration, social awareness, and character development within the liberal arts tradition.

Preview: Aquarius Channelings Weekly Newsletter 14th Issue – The Channeled Bits and an Astral Discussion
Posted by Wes Annac
The following is a free preview of the Aquarius Channelings Weekly Newsletter, which we are offering for $11.11 a month. While I look forward to giving this Newsletter freely in the time ahead, we must attain some type of income if we wish to keep providing the routine work that we give and income from this Newsletter helps us exponentially. Option to subscribe will be given below.
Hello dear friends, and welcome to the fourteenth issue of the Aquarius Channelings Weekly Newsletter.
This week, we will be hearing from the Ascended Collective as a whole. We will also work to bless the cabals, and I will offer a reader an exercise to clear-out that prevalent dense energy from our chakras that could still be built up.
To begin for this week, the Ascended Collective reminds us that if we show the effort to ascend, any missteps from our path can be taken in stride.
"You are Loved regardless of the choices that you make along the path you have set out for yourselves. There will be times that you perceive yourselves as falling away from your intended path and we say that as long as you dear souls show the intention in yourselves, you will find your ascension and it will indeed be very unique for each and every one of you.
You will find the steady flow of our energies that you wish to find and feel in yourselves and as you open yourselves up more and more to the Divine, you will realize that what has held you back has been aided and employed by lower mindsets in yourselves that need to be transmuted before the personal results of such transmutation can make themselves known." –The Ascended Collective
We are told there is still work to be done, and that we will be given innumerable assistance with every difficulty along our Life paths.
"Indeed, dear souls, there is work to do underneath your surface and within yourselves that you may not have realized is still there to be done and we say that as long as you make it your tried and true effort to find and feel a connection with the higher realms that will only be found and understood completely within yourselves, you will always find our energies and the assistance we will give you with uprooting and illuminating all within yourselves that has held you back from the pure realms of Source that you have all been working oh-so hard within yourselves to find and feel.
We feel such a strong and pure Love for you dear souls because we do indeed see that you are truly doing everything you can along your paths to excel as marvelously as you are, to find the higher realms and in the process, take every dear soul with you. As you find the pure realms of Source, a collective upliftment is indeed garnered that is more potent or powerful than you dear souls could perhaps realize at present. As you perform your own personal illuminations and transmutations, so is the entire collective uplifted exponentially, in ways that you will be able to understand more clearly in the time ahead."
One of the reasons we are as strong as we are told, is because we are a part of a collective of higher dimensional souls who could and can handle the lower dimensional experience. This, as we're told, make us 'more infallible than [we] think'.
"There are many of us who have wished to assist your Earth and you all to ascend but we could simply not handle the lower vibrations that your Earth has to offer and as a result, we have taken to our own specific methods and ways of helping you and your dear Earth to ascend from our positions within the higher realms. While many of us have taken the role of staying away from the surface of the Earth while helping you all to ascend in the grand and rapid fashion that you are now to, you dear souls who are on the surface of your Earth are stronger and much more infallible than you think.
Yes, dear souls, the darkness and the lower, dense vibrations have been very knotted-up and have exposed themselves to you in ways that have taken you out of your needed balance and center every now and then, but the Light that you carry within and can now access at any and all times is much, much stronger than you developing souls believe it to be and with the vast and pure reserve of Lighted Source energy you now have stored within, your potential is truly infinite and unlimited."
I, for one, would love to learn more than we already have about these reserves of Light that we hold within, and it seems that our employment of balance will see us able to access this Light, which will then make us much stronger in our daily endeavors.
To finish their communique for this week, the Ascended Collective ask us to remain in a position of knowing that all we are going through, within ourselves and on a collective level, is serving a greater Divine plan.
"You are all Loved infinitely along your paths and we remind you that your pure Source energy simply cannot be touched by any lower or negative energies.
"You have carried within yourselves, vestiges of the dark energies for some time and you are finding the worst of these energies surfacing as a part of the ongoing and continual effort to expose such things so that you can find your natural higher state of being, as any lower parts of yourselves simply must be illuminated and while we know that this has been a very difficult and continual process for many of you to undergo, we ask you to remain unwavering in your faith that all that you are doing at this time is serving a greater Divine plan beyond your current comprehension and beyond your scope of understanding of just how amazing and revolutionary your future is to be.
We ask you to look toward the Now for any and all aspects of your ascension, while appreciating and understanding the splendor of your immediate future."
Thank you to the Ascended Collective. (…)
A nice reminder and appreciated update from the dear Ascended Collective, and this concludes our channeled discussion for this week.
Now, to discuss our ongoing Astral Travels.
This week, we are going to work on our visualization practices while utilizing the collective and individual blessing abilities that we have begun to find within ourselves. You could see this week as a bit of a review, but we are going to introduce some newer techniques as well as we work to bless the cabals who have been attempting to hold the Light energies back from permeating our surface.
Some may wonder why we are blessing the cabals in the manner that we are, and one of the reasons is that doing so has been recommended by our channeled sources tenfold. Especially within a collective meditation, sending our powerful and supreme Light to the cabals is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and in the cabals' view, the worst thing that we can do for them.
The cabals have thrived on the fear and negativity-based energies that they have gotten humanity to feed, and this is one reason that the cabals have tainted some of the alternative media with fear-based stories about their perceived reign. The negativity that is funneled-through the emotions of humanity has fed the cabals as well and has especially fed the lower entities who employ them, and our Light energies can be like poison to the dark energies crafted and expressed by the cabals.
Of course, our energies are not 'poison' and are rather the most potent and needed of energies for the cabal's neutralization and for the surface of this Earth in general. Even though the cabals would fight against these energies being sent to them, on a wider level the Divine Intervention we will offer by gifting these energies to them will prove ultimately beneficial, for them and for the entire planet.
As such, we have not only been making it our effort to radiate this energy through ourselves; we will also be sending it to the cabals.
To begin our exercise, I would like you to imagine yourselves encompassed in a shining, aura of beautiful and pure Light. You can find yourself within specific astral realms if you wish to as we will be traveling for this exercise, but it matters not as long as you find yourselves within this energy.
It is hoped that this preview has resonated and been of service. If you find yourself in a decent financial situation, find this has resonated and wish to support our work; all subscriptions are very greatly appreciated.
About Wes Annac
Like you, I am a fellow awakening soul who's come to understand my infinite and Divine nature as a spiritual being rediscovering full consciousness. I choose to channel and actively represent the Company of Heaven, which include the spiritually-advanced humans assisting us in evolving who we'd refer to as "extraterrestrials". This also includes the various Angels and Archangels, Ascended Masters, Hathors, Elohim, etc. I'm of the firm belief that they're assisting us in our evolution but that ultimately, we're tasked with bringing it about ourselves rather than waiting for them to fulfill the roles of saviors, because they seem to have no interest in "saving" us. I feel the importance of stepping up to the plate and helping our planet to evolve in any ways possible, and to that extent, I happily blog, channel, play and write music and use meditation and the deeper states of consciousness and metaphysical perception we can gain from it to perform energy work (usually transmutation-based in nature) to help our collective vibration match the realms we're evolving back toward. I also make it a point to actively speak up against the corruption, tyranny and personal agendas that have plagued our governments and financial, pharmaceutical, media and so many other institutions. I recognize the corruption running rampant on this world and one of my ultimate aims to to help establish a planetary ruling body comprised of and ruled entirely by the people. I'm of the belief that humanity's heading into a new age of consciousness, intelligence and harmony amongst one another, and I strongly feel that we need to recognize everything that needs done and aptly begin getting to work. I love chatting with others about this and so many other things, so feel free to get ahold with me and chat if you wish. I do try to keep myself busy, but will usually always respond to a message or comment (just don't hold it against me if I don't!) Much Love all!

The State Fire Academy is taking its school on the road, beginning with a training course next month on how to respond to ethanol incidents. State Fire Commissioner Ed Mann said the International Association of Fire Chiefs already had a program available and, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, assisted with the training the instructors, so that the program would be available in March to all 67 counties. "Responding to Ethanol Incidents is an eight-hour course that covers issues including transportation, storage, dispensing and firefighting foam principles for ethanol-blended fuels," said Mann. Instructors, course materials and certificates will be issued by the Fire Academy at no cost to the local sponsoring agency. The local agency will be responsible for providing a suitable classroom with tables and chairs for a maximum of 40 people. Ethanol is added to gasoline to reduce tailpipe emissions of carbon monoxide. Its use is growing and expected to increase substantially in coming years, according to the Fire Chiefs association. "Ethanol presents some challenges to firefighters where traditional means of fighting a gasoline fire are ineffective. It can also be encountered in different blends, so it is important that firefighters know what they are facing,'' Mann said. Pennsylvania State Fire Academy Bio Fuel Technology and Application News

When was the last time this dope took a pee test?
He is the best QB…in Baltimore if we have no #2 QB and Johnny U stays dead. No other way is he #1. What a ridiculous staement. Spy, Mystery Man and Mark, verify?
Maybe this is a good sign for the Ravens. Last offseason Eli Manning proclaimed that he was an elite QB who should be in the same conversation as his brother, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Six months later he hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.
Flacco took it one step further. "I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback," he told WNST. "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best."
This scene immediately comes to mind.
"I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way. I mean, c'mon? That's not really too tough of a question."
You shouldn't be surprised by Joe Flacco's comments. He's in the middle of contract negotiations for a long-term deal. What did you expect him to say?
Flacco went on, "It's not about the money. It's about what you feel you deserve."
I love it. This is exactly what you want to hear from your quarterback. You've got to think you're the best in order to become the best. Confidence is a great thing, hopefully he'll keep that chip on his shoulder."I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback," Flacco said when asked where he thinks he ranks among NFL quarterbacks. "I mean, I think I'm the best. I
When was the last time this dope took a pee test?
He is the best QB…in Baltimore if we have no #2 QB and Johnny U stays dead. No other way is he #1. What a ridiculous staement. Spy, Mystery Man and Mark, verify?
Good for him. It doesn't matter if it's true, a QB has to have confidence and a bit of a swagger.
If he said "Well, I guess I might be average at best, I mean, I am alright if you are forced to start me…" then I might have him see a shrink.
For the record, he is no where near the best QB, but for the team's sake I want him to believe that he is. Remember when Eli said he was a top QB before the season and everyone laughed? You have to believe it before you can do it.
Good point Weston, so here is a little swagger for you, John Gacy or Jerry Sandusky. A good child molestor has to have a bit of swagger right….you moron!
Confidence is one thing, stupidity is another, look up Bob Irsay, Howard Cosell and Roger Clemens in the dictionary.
Did you just compare Joe Flacco to a child molester? Jesus Christ man, go seek some help and get some distance from sports for a while.
Maybe you are right. I am going to go visit my buddy Sandusky this weekend after the Birds sweep the Twins.
I'm really starting to think that Flacco is either:
A. Immature
2. Stupid
D. Both
The media baits Flacco every few months with this stupid question which either makes him look weak or look like a myopic, egotistical poor judge of his own abilities.
Combine this with the fact that Flacco has yet to take an active role in the offensive play calling leads me to believe that his elevator doesn't go all the way up.
MGW – I think your correct answer is number F, Flacco needs to play like he's a top QB and stop saying he is a top QB.
Top QB's can call plays and make changes at the line and don't keep their eyes on one receiver.
4 years in and Flacco still cannot call plays or make changes at the line. What does that tell you?
Like 9InchNail always says, "You can't be an idiot all your life while sporting a unibrow and mastering the Panamanian Powder"
If someone asked you if you were good at your job, would you say no?
You mean if I thought someone was going to twist my words and make me look foolish, how would I answer?
My point is, this is a "no win" for Joe.
If he says "I'm the best" he's ridiculed and compared to Brady, Rodgers, The Manning Brothers…
If he's indifferent, people say he's weak, not confident, not a leader.
There's no good way to answer the question.
He should let his play do the talking.
This isn't the first time the media trapped him like this, that's where I say he needs to be smarter.
Mystery Man would say, "I have mastered fries but still having problems with the two all beef patties, special sauce…
Spy would say, "Welcome to In and Out Burger, may I take your order?"
The Intimidator would say, "Would you like an ass kicking with that order, Beyotch?"
Lindsey – MGW is the best Dunkin Donuts backlot living, cardboard sleeping, Boones Farm drinking, ass grabbing, letter "L" finger making to the forehead, 'baccer' juice spittin', dice shootin', window lickin', car window / newspaper cleaning, sum of a bitch…
Exactly right Lindsey, I would rather him say he was a top QB than average.
And if someone asked if I was good at my job I would say yea, I am pretty damn good at it.
The difference is no one is coming in and asking me if I think I'm the best at my job and then broadcasting my response on national TV.
Look, this dope just went through this during the playoffs and now they baited him again. I know the Ravens PR staff is consistently rated the top of the league so you know they've coached him on how to answer this question. Therefore, one can only surmise that he's not very intelligent and he's not getting the message.
You have to realize Joe is in the middle of a tremendous contract negotiation,,,,,,,,,,no one here can put yourself in his current position , his agent has him believing he is the best q-back in the NFL , at this time in his life he has to believe this for his own welfare,,,,,,,,,,,after the negotiations are over and he realizes his center is Matt Birk again he will wake up to reality,,,,,,,,,no one here can relate to Joe's thought process right now as he is on the verge of setting up his entire family for life , good for Joe , he's done well for himself and is about to do very well for his family , he is not going to mess this up , he has to believe he is the best ,,,,,,,,,,,do you want your q-back taking the field thinking 'wow I'm not very good but I try hard',,,,,,,,,,well , his agent doesn't want him to take the table thinking this either,,,,,,,,this is exactly what his family and his agent want him to believe , he is doing his job,,,,,,,,,,,,
With all that said, Flacco is still adope. Wonder what he scored on his Wundelic test?
Actually Spy, hate to bust your bubble because you have been a model citizen on the BSR and also one of the current Hall of Famers, but 9InchNails is in the same position as Flacco.
IBM, Trump, Saks, Barely Legal and now NBC are courting 9Incher for his talents. 9Incher has been making the rounds in New York, dining and living at the most posh eateries and swanky swanker Hotels all on the dime of the companies vying for 9Inchers services.
I must have missed something,,,,,,,,,,,I didn't hate on 9inchnails,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or have you not taken your medication today…………

Carter Robbins, 6, said he was constantly teased on the school bus because of the size of his ears. Carter, tired of the torment, decided to undergo surgery to pin back his ears.
"They would call him big ears and one kid punched him in the stomach," Adriene Booth, Carter's mother, said. "When Carter started to cry, the boy asked him if he wished he could fly away."
Booth said her son spent his Kindergarten year trying to dodge bullies on the school bus.
"He kept saying, 'I want my ears fixed.'"
Carter doesn't like to admit how bad the teasing makes him feel.
"It's heartbreaking," Booth said. "It's hard when someone is hurting your baby and you don't know what to do."
The family finally found Salt Lake Doctor Steven Mobley, a board certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. He established The Mobley Foundation for Charitable Surgery.
The foundation provides otoplasty surgery for victimized children. For a child to qualify for a surgery the child must be health, have documented bullying, provide proof from a school administrator and proof of some financial hardship.
ABC 4 News followed Carter into the operating room Wednesday morning. He said he was not nervous, but rather excited to change the look of his ears.
"I just hope he'll have more confidence and won't be self-conscious of it or worry about being made fun on," Booth added.
Carter successfully made it out of surgery. He will have the surgery dressings removed and ears revealed Friday.
