Thank you so much Dr. Greger for the information about purslane as a treatment for oral lichen planus!…I have endured constant pain from OLP for 2 years….doctor did a biopsy which led to the diagnosis but none of my dr's have any idea how to treat it…I will definitely be back to your site and thank you for the work you do.Christina
I have lichen planus and your suggestion to use purslane has really cut down on the inflammation. I want to know if there is any way to cure it? I will try anything.
Immediately make dietary changes, no refine salt, less sugar, no yeast, no dairy products, no sour foods lemon tamarind tomatoes vinegar. No sesame oil and seeds. Avoid refined flours. Take homeopathy. Do yoga and reduce stress let go.
Doctor, my urologist recently diagnosed me with genital lichen planus, although what I have doesn't look to me like lichen planus pictures I've seen, he is a very respected guy, but I need a second opinion. Does the purslane work for this type of lichen planus? Can I get extract of purslane? What dosages would you recommend? I am 55, male and 235 lbs.
Thank you.
Before i jump off a high bridge I would like to ask if there is any nutritional remedy for lichen sclerosis. I'm a male and this is devastating to say the least…
Ayurveda is d key to all types of LP read my reply above. See if allopathy works. Else try homeo and then ayurveda. All d best
Basil I too have lichen sclerosis, I have found Dairy esp cheese to increase the itchiness. Avoiding def helps manage the condition.
could this also work for lichen sclerosis and if not, is there anything other than steroids that help
Thank you Dr. Greger
I have used this plant I bought it at Lowes for Oral lichen Planus I am completely healed this is so great! I have pictures I would love to show anyone interested . My primary care doctor told me this wasn't going to go away . Well I'm proud to say it has !!!!!!!!!!Thank you Dr. Greger for the work you do .
How can i bought it ? i live in lebanon what is the Lowes?
Lowes is a home improvement store with locations in the United States. They also sell lawn and garden things (including plants). There may be stores located in other countries. You can google for Lowe's online and if there is not one near you, perhaps you can order online.
It is my understanding that many people have discovered "Sidr Honey" in your area of the Middle East. The popular consensus is that it had great medicinal properties and the Egyptians used it to treat many medical problems. I found only one place in the USA
and bought some. Perhaps the American spelling is a bit different, but it has help me a bit for my OLP. Perhaps you may find it
in Lebanon as well. Wish you luck! Glory
Zani Hazer:See my post on "Sidr Honey" from you area in the Middle East, below!
Would be interested in knowing genus/species of plant "Happy" purchased at Lowe's. My lichen planus presented almost 2 years ago. .. reasonably under control. Occasional flare – ups. Got purslane start from a friend but hasn't grown fast enough to eat that much on a regular basis. Thank you Dr Gregor. Patty
Portulaca oleracea (common purslane, also known as verdolaga, pigweed, little hogweed, red root, pursley, and moss . Hope it's not too
Late to share this!
What was the plant from Lowe's? I was just st diagnosed with LPO.
All these comments and no one can give specifics on how much purslane was used to help with oral LP?
Would appreciate any guidance…. should capsules be used and swallowed, and if so how much? Or do you chew on the leaves? and again – how much?
Summer17 I take the pu
Summer17 I take Purslane capsules 400 mg and they work. I have a bad case OLP. It really works. You take one pill a day. You still have to watch what you eat and drink. I got them on Amazon.com from Swanson it contains 60 pills. The cost is $7.99 a bottle. Good Luck.
Hi I also have olp .. and i am in misery with the burning, does these really work?
EVERYONE READ THIS! NEW STUDY on RASPBERRY LEAF TEA & EXTRACT. It has brought people into remission! Dr. Greger may have not gotten word yet. This is VERY new. NOT SPAM. I suffer from a severe case of this and am now trying purslane and once I get a hold of this, it will be my new cocktail. Perhaps mixed together or made into cookies? Just trying to spread the love of information. Be well everybody.
Can you please share what plant you are talking about? Just seeing this these posts are from 2 years ago. If you come on here please share us your happiness. Thank you…….Glenda
I have been diagnosed with oral and esophagus lichen planus. What do I need to do to have a thin to liquid diet while I wait to be treated. (insurance company needs to be pre approved)
I was also diagnosed with Oral Lichen Planus many years ago. I was embarrassed to laugh with my mouth open because of the way my tongue looked. When I saw a small study showing that purslane controlled and sometimes reversed OLP I decided to give it a try. And it works. I purchase mine in a dessicated (powdered) form from a Canadian company called Natural Plantations. They sell capsules as well, but the powdered form is the most economical. 1/8 tsp per day in water (or your smoothie, juice, etc.) I also use the shampoo and conditioner as my scalp has problems with lichen planus and it seems to control this as well. Very knowledgeable company owner, good service. Purslane is an outstanding anti-oxidant.
I'm glad this works for you. I have recently found a source on amazon.com
and the price difference between them and Nature's Plantation is pretty dramatic, even with shipping to Canada and customs fees……if you're interested, of course.
Keep well.

I have lichen planus but in little spots all over my body. Will a purslane tincture work just as well? I think my lichen planus stems from an oral infection I've had for years.. Is that possible?
Dr Greger: OM3, from what I have heard, is abundant in Purslane. Would you please address any studies that might be out to support this? Thanks
I realize it is a different condition, but is there any nutritional therapy for lichen sclerosus? Thank you.
I have lichen sclerosis. I noticed that you do not have any videos addressing this health issue…. is there any literature to support something in the diet to help with this disease?
Thank you
I was wondering if anyone knew how to treat Lichen Sclerosus with diet, and if anyone had found any scientific based evidence to support this? I can't find anything on the site.
I have been diagnosed with Lichen Planopilaris by my dermatologist which is a autoimmune disorder where the body attacks hair. The result is scarring permanent hair loss. It is a slow gradual process in my case and I have had it for maybe 4-5 years. The doctor had me on doxycycline for awhile but I do not want to take an antibiotic long term, the doctor said there is no cure sometimes it can be managed or slowed down. He said the number of cases of this disease are increasing but the medical community does not know why. I know the above video is a different issue but I could not find anywhere else to post my question. Thoughts or insights would be appreciated.
Hi Ryder, I am one of the site moderators. No doubt you are truly suffering from your skin disease and taking long term medications often create their own problems which lead to a constellation of other things you must deal with. People with any sort of autoimmune disorder have the problem that their own immune system is attacking them creating a chronic inflammatory state. The steroids and other medications given decrease this inflammatory reaction but there is obviously no change in whatever might be the underlying cause of the inflammation. Look up the specifics regarding the "anti-inflammatory diet". It can take awhile but via an elimination process you might be able to determine which foods increase the inflammation in your body which might lead to reducing the medications you are on. An even more intensive approach is to follow the diet that Joe Cross went on and filmed for the movie "Fat, Sick and nearly Dead". He had a similar devastating skin disorder and has been able to clear it up and remain off medications after drastically altering his diet. I hope you can find some improvement. Best wishes.
Hi have lichen planus all over my body and i used prednizone for a week 8 for 2 days then 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and since I noticed its like blisters purple I thought I need something to dry them out so I tried pine jell that you use for cleaning floors with at first I only bathed with it so I took n now its faiding completely without any medication lichen planus I cronic though I had it 8 years ago and now its back again but the steroids and pine jell help alot I'm so glad cause it helped when I first got it 8 years ago and now its also fading again i informed my dermatologist about it
It really help if its not a cure for lichen planus just keep pushing use prednizone and pinejell no cream afterword keep your skin dry
I also have been diagnosed with lichen sclerosus. Has impacted my entire life. Using topical steroids without much relief. I am already vegan, whole foods , minimum oils and salt, no processed. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? Really having a difficult time. HELP!
A friend of mine has been diagnosed with lichen schlerosis (bxo). Would purslane also work for this? If not, would anything else work?
I developed lichen planus about three years ago and started using Purslane, verdolaga, or Portulaca oleracea which are the same thing. I live near several farmers markets and buy it fresh from the vendors there. It grows wild as a weed between their rows of crops, and I ask them to pick it and bring it to market for me. It only grows during the summer months, so near the end of the summer I have them pick quite a few bunches of it and I freeze it to use during the winter. I make a fruit smoothie every morning and throw a handful of purslane in my smoothie. I went from a pretty severe case of constant burning in my mouth to having it almost disappear entirely. It only reappears a couple times of year – usually when I have not been able to use my smoothies for several days. I have bought the purslane seeds on Amazon and have grown it in my garden too. I have also purchased the dry powder and used that when I'm traveling. I am a believer in purslane.
Excluding night shade family of foods definitely works taking my oral lichens planus from flare ups to remission. Mostly, tomatoes, peppers, white potatoes, cayenne, chilie powder, etc
Hi sir,
I have got lichen planus. You have insisted some food diet for Lp. I was living in India. I think these plants are not easily available in my country. Could you please suggest some diet that are easily available in my country
I have lichen planus and hidradentis supprativa, both have been difficult to deal with as there is no cure.
For LP i keep it under control by clipping my nails regularly amd not scratching the spots. HS is worse and both make me feel miserable. I want to make diet change if it helps. For HS theu have AIP diet, what kinda diet is there for LP.
I'm no doctor but I've done a lot of trial and error, myself as the guinea pig lol! I highly recommend you do a lot of research on the benefits of a whole plant diet, focusing on anti inflammatory foods. I have had a lot of improvement since I stopped eating meat. Fish was my last holdout, and when I found out about the toxins I dropped it like a hot potato! Not only has my OLP and LP nearly disappeared, but nearly crippling arthritis is completely gone. I also must add that I have been strictly gluten free for 10 years, but since I stopped all meat and dairy and focused on fresh veggies and fruit, I feel better than I have at any time in my life. I am 60 and am healthier than I was at 20!
I agree with you, Constanzia! I'm my own guinea pig too! LOL! I have been strictly gluten free for about 10 years also, since April 13, 2009. But I do eat some fish like Salmon about 1 time per week (cleaner oily fish). I have many medical issues and would be worse or even disabled or dead, if I hadn't followed a healthy eating protocol and a detox pretty regularly, which is what we are doing when we follow what our body needs instead of just treating symptoms. HLP, OLP and arthritis, etc are so frustrating and interrupt daily living!
Something I really believe that has helped me tremendously is following my blood type protocol as well as using an elimination protocol checking to see which foods actually make symptoms worse. Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo has several books and an app to help people with getting their bodies back to health.
I follow several other protocols also, like mind/body processes (meditation, stress release exercises).
Also, I've found that if a person gives any protocol at least 3-6 months or even longer with a positive mindset, they will be happier and more successful with it. I've read where it takes the body about a year to change all the cells. And look at all the toxins we are bombarded with on a daily basis… EMFs, etc.! I believe detoxing regularly is important. Following healthy eating protocols are one way to do this… Medical Medium has good detox protocols too.
Blessings to each person who reads this.
Hi Costanza
Did was your OLP constant? Like was it always there. or did it come and go? I have a very painful ulcerative form that comes and goes like clock work. I will have a flare up that lasts about 1-2 weeks. It goes completely away and then at the 3 month mark it comes back. Was your experience anything like that??
Hi hanginfire,
I saw your comment today and I searched for it and I found a study. I hope this gives you more information. I wish you good health.
Oral lichen plants (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the occurrence of multiple, symmetrical lesions in the oral cavity.
Clinical features and management of oral lichen planus (OLP) with emphasis on the management of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related OLP
Dr. Gregor, I now believe I have lichen planus oral, but so far I've been treated for thrush. My doctor was perplexed when he couldn't scrape anything off, but went ahead and ordered diflucan 200mg a day for a week. When I started taking diflucan the reddish, purplish flat bumps showed up all over. Especially in the nether regions. And wow was it painful and itched. A week later my mouth hasn't improved and he wants me to take another week. Then I saw this about lichen planus. He said my blood tests were normal other than some enemia. What is going on with me?! Help please! I have the tiny white bumps that create a lacy pattern on the inside of cheeks and my tongue feels raw and painful. Today a stranger white inflamed ring showed up after lying in the sun for awhile. Which I don't do often. Hoping to boost the morale. I also have had no energy and depression worsening. It really bothers me to have something that my doctor can't figure out and obviously aren't tasting me correctly. I have Medicaid and Medicare and don't believe I can go to dermatologist. I know you can't diagnose, but any ideas? Anything would be helpful. Thank you so much for your time, CNBlack
Wow if that wasn't confusing. Sorry. Let me make it simpler. I have been being treated with one dose dyflucan or nystatin for the last 4mos for thrush. The "thrush" never was alleviated. Instead my tongue and cheeks began having a weird texture and eventually painful. Then, 10 days ago Dr started treating me with 200mg dyflucan daily for 7 days to eradicate the "thrush" once and for all. When I started taking that, the red and purple bumps showed in other places of my body. I don't know what the connection between this and dyflucan is, but it is curious. Can dyflucan exacerbate or bring on symptoms of lichen planus. I'm also thinking I not only have it in my mouth but on my skin as well. It says this is rare and I have a hard time believing im that lucky 1% that gets it.
My teen with HC Porphyria and low carnitine mito and Autism now with hormones raging went to the dermatologist and she has plaque and inverse psoriasis flare then after that flare got WHOLE BODY
Lichen Planus! We are talking severe all over except face and scalp. The two biopsies came back as Lichen Planus or a lichenoid drug eruption. Jeez. So now we switched to cleaner medications but they are the same 4 she has been on since age 3 and she's 15 now! We are supposed to wait 4 weeks after the switch but intuitively I do not think it is these 4 meds since age 3.
How on earth can she have 2 psoriasis types confirmed with skin biopsies snd now this right after and confirmed with skin biopsies. Due to Porphyria we should not sit in the sun. So what diet is best. The Keystone diet or what. I can't do herbs because Porphyria does react badly with drugs and herbs are drugs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Any suggested testing, diets would be great for my above thread.
Also on how to prevent scarring would be helpful. She is a very beautiful teen but with this all over every inch of her body and feet and hands, arms, legs, torso everywhere it may already be a skin disaster.
I do not know if we should just let this linger on for weeks to see if it is a drug I don't think is or should we just dive into oral steroids and try to get rid of it? The doctors want to wait but this is horrid looking.
Steroid are dangerous too though so I wish there was s Magic diet for this. Jeez!
Hello Doctor,
My husband has been suffering from lichen plains since his youth. He is 45 now. We did his biopsy last year and that's when it was diagnosed. I am trying to find the diet recommendation and any other alternative medicine which will help him.
Thanks for your help.

Chapter 6: Perception
James Rowland Angell
Table of Contents | Next | Previous
Definition of Perception.-- Perception has sometimes been defined as "the consciousness of particular material things present to sense." Perception is as a matter of fact always a larger thing than this definition would immediately imply; because we are always aware in the " fringe," in the background of consciousness, of sense activities other than those we speak of as being perceived, especially those connected with the internal operations of our own organism. Perception as psychologists describe it, is therefore, like sensation, something of an abstraction.[1]
Our definition, however, marks off perception from sensation in its emphasis upon the consciousness of objects, or things. Sensation, as we saw in the last chapter, is more appropriately conceived as concerned with the consciousness of qualities. The two processes have this in common, that both are produced by the stimulation of a sense organ. This circumstance serves to mark both of them off from such mental conditions as memory and imagination, in which our consciousness may equally well be engaged with objects. Nevertheless, as we shall see more fully in later chapters, the sen-
(123)-suous material of perception and imagination and memory is qualitatively one and the same. Visual mental stuff, for example, whether perceptually or ideationally produced, is sui generis, and totally unlike any other kind of mental stuff, such as auditory or olfactory.
It will be seen that the distinction mentioned between the perceptual consciousness of objects and such consciousness of them as we may have in memory and imagination rests upon a physiological basis, i. e., the presence or absence of sense organ activity. The only difference on the mental side is commonly to be found in the intensity and objectivity of the two. Perceptions are commonly more intense, and feel more as though given to us, than do our memories or imaginings. In hallucination, however, it seen-is as though mere mental images assumed the vividness and externality of percepts; and in the case of very faint stimulations, e. g., of sound or colour, we cannot always be confident whether we have really perceived something, or merely imagined it. This principle of distinguishing the two is, therefore, not always to be depended upon. Fortunately for our practical interests, the distinction is generally valid and we do not often confuse what we really perceive, with what we imagine.
We pointed out the fact in the last chapter that, save for the earliest experiences of infancy, sensation, as a total mental state distinguishable from perception, probably does not occur. The great masses of our sensory experiences are, accordingly perceptions, and it obviously behooves us to examine them with care.
Analysis of Perception.-- We may evidently have perceptions which originate from the stimulation of any sense organ, and we might select an example from any sense department for analysis. Because of their importance for every day life we may, however, profitably choose a case from visual perceptions for our examination. Let us take the instance of our perception of a chair. When our eyes fall upon
(124) such an object we instantly react to it as a single object. Although the chair has four legs and a seat, we do not see each of the legs as separate things, and then somehow put them together with the seat, and so mentally manufacture a chair for ourselves. On the contrary, our immediate response is the consciousness of a single object. We know of course that the chair possesses these various parts, just as we know that it has various colours, and in a sense we notice these features when we perceive it. But the striking thing is, that despite the great number of sensory nerves which are being stimulated by such an object, we perceive it, not as an aggregate of qualities a+b+c, but as a unit, a whole, which we can, if necessary, analyse into its parts. The same thing is true as to our perception of words. We naturally see them, not as so many separate letters, but as wholes, or at most as groups of syllables; a fact which modern education wisely takes advantage of in teaching children to recognise entire words at a glance.
Evidently this is another phase of the fact. which we noted at the time we were studying attention, when we remarked the selective and synthesising nature of attention in its operation upon sensory stimuli. We also came across the same fact in our description of the action of the cortex of the cerebrum. We observed there, that the cortex has its activity determined, now from this sensory source, and now from that, but the response is always of a unifying, synthesising character. This seems to be the reason, too, that our perceptions are so regularly definite, instead of vague, as they apparently might be. The cortical reaction tends toward the systematised orderly form. We note first, then, in our analysis of visual perception, that we commonly perceive objects as single and distinct, not as vague, confused, and aggregated compounds.
If we describe for ourselves just what we perceive in such a case, we should add to our consciousness of the colour of the
(125) chair our sense of its size and its shape. We say, for example, that the seat is square, that it looks square. Now it requires only a moment's reflection to convince us that, as we stand at a little distance from the chair, the image of its seat, which is reflected upon the retina, is not square at all, but is a kind of rhomboid, with two acute and two obtuse angles. We become more clearly aware of this fact when we attempt to draw the chair as it appears. We are obliged under these conditions to draw just such a rhomboid as the seat presents to the eye. If we draw a real square on the paper, we cannot make it serve acceptably for a chair seat, seen as we now see the chair of our illustration, which is supposed to be at a little distance from us.
Now, how does it come about that we can perceive a rhomboid as a square, which is what we unquestionably do in this case? The reply contains the secret of the fundamental fact about all perceptions. We see it as a square, because we see it, not as it actually is to our vision at this moment, but as our past experience has taught us it must be. Were it not for the influence of this past experience, this habitual reaction upon objects like the present chair seat, undoubtedly we should not see it as square. The same thing is true as regards our perception of the height and size of the chair, and the material of its construction. Had we no previous experiences that resembled the present one, we should be hopelessly uncertain as to the element of size. To judge of this with any accuracy we must, to mention only a single circumstance, know with considerable exactness the distance of the chair from us; for the nearer an object is, the larger our visual image of it. Experience has taught us the common size of chairs and tables, and has taught us to allow correctly for the effects of distance, etc. We come at once, then, upon this striking fact, that in some manner or other perception involves a rudimentary reproductive process. Somehow, our former perceptions are taken up and incorporated into our
(126) present perceptions, modifying them and moulding them into accord with the past.
Moreover, if we interrogate our consciousness carefully, we shall find that in visual perceptions we often, perhaps generally, get an immediate impression of the contact values of the seen object. We get instantly something of the coolsmooth-feeling when we look upon highly polished marble. Velvet seen near at hand gives us similarly a feeling of softness. It is not simply that we know the marble to be cool and smooth, or the velvet to be soft. That would be merely a matter of associating certain ideas with the percept. We mean to designate a phase of the actual perceptual synthesis.
Certain bizarre forms of a similar process, known as synaesthesia, illustrate the point. For example, certain persons when they hear music always experience colour sensations accompanying it. We may regard it as certain, therefore, that sensory stimuli affecting only one sense organ may set up perceptual reactions involving directly more than one sensory area in the cortex, so that the percept resulting may be regarded as a coalescence of several different sense qualities.
Auditory perceptions show just the same influence of experience as do the visual perceptions which we have analysed. When we first bear a foreign language spoken, it is a mere babel of sounds. Presently, as we come to learn the Ianguage, the sounds become words with meanings intelligible to us, and our perception of what we hear thus manifests, as in the case of vision, unmistakable dependence upon our past experience. So also with touch. We learn that certain kinds of contact experiences mean door-knobs, or pencils, or books, etc. We might run through the whole list of sense organs and find the same thing true in varying degree.
We may conclude then, that a second important factor in perceptual processes, in addition to the tendency to perceive objects as definite wholes, is the striking combination of the present with the past, of novelty with familarity. Were it
(127) not for the fact that the perceived object connects itself in some way with our foregoing experience, it would be entirely meaningless and strange to us. This is the way the words of an unknown language impress us when we hear them. On the other hand, the perceived thing is in some particulars different from these previous experiences, otherwise we could not distinguish the past from the present. Perception is, then, evidently a synthetic experience, and the combination of the new and the old is the essential part of the synthesis. This process of combining the now and the old is often called apperception. In perception, therefore, the raw material supplied by the several senses is taken up into the psychophysical organism, and there, under the process of apperception, given form and meaning by its vital and significant union with the old psychophysical activities. Material taken up in this way becomes as truly a part of the organism as does the food which enters the alimentary tract.
Genesis of Perception. --It is evident from the facts we have examined in the immediately preceding paragraphs, that the development of perception depends upon the degree to which our past experience enters into the results of each new sensory excitation. In the discussion of habit and of attention, we observed that attention undoubtedly does make itself felt, first in splitting up the undifferentiated, vague continuum of consciousness into parts; then in connecting these parts with one another; and finally in endowing the organism with habits whereby it may the more promptly and efficiently cope with the conditions it has to meet. Clearly, a fully developed perception is itself simply a kind of habit. That I should be able, when looking at a plane surface limited by four lines making two acute and two obtuse angles, to see a square table-top is only explicable by remarking that this perception has been acquired just as most other habits have been, i. e., slowly and by dint of many repetitions.
So far as we can determine, experience begins to operate
(128) upon our sensory excitations at the very outset of life, and the process of perception accordingly begins, but in a very rudimentary manner, immediately after the hypothetical " first moment " of sensation which we described in the previous chapter. Nevertheless, we must suppose that for many weeks the perceptual process is on a very low level of advancement. In the first place, as we pointed out, a perception involves our having some knowledge, however simple, about the object. But such knowledge about objects depends upon our ability to connect various sensory experiences with the same object, and this in turn depends largely upon our ability to control our movements. We mentioned in an earlier chapter that such control is a relatively late acquirement, and accordingly our perceptual processes get no available opportunity for development in early infancy. An illustration will make this clearer.
Let us take the possible course of events involved in a baby's acquiring the perception of a bell. Obviously the visual factors involved cannot be satisfactorily employed, until some control has been attained over the eye muscles, so that the child's eyes are able to converge and follow an object. This attainment is commonly achieved about the third or fourth week of life, although there is great variation here. if the child never touched the bell and never heard it, he might still learn to recognise it when he saw it, as something be had seen before; but be evidently would have no such perception of it as you and I have. As a matter of fact, the bell will be put into his hand, and during the random movements of the hand his eye will sometimes fall upon it. The occasional repetition of this experience will soon serve to fix the association of the touch-band-movement feelings with the visual consciousness of the bell, so that the thing seen will inevitably suggest the thing felt and moved, and vice versa. Moreover, all the time this has been going on there have been sensory stimulations of sound from the bell. This group of elements, therefore, becomes annexed to the
(129) rest of the group, and straightway we have the rudiments of the process by which, when we see or touch or hear a certain kind of object, we promptly perceive it as a bell, i. e., as a something to which a certain total mass of familiar experience belongs.
Such a case as this is typical, and despite certain omissions of detail, may serve to represent the kind of activities which always accompany the acquiring of perceptions. It will be remembered that we connected the perceptual process with the establishment of relations. In the case which we have used for our illustration these relations show clearly in the connecting of one group of sensory experiences with another. The auditory group comes to mean the eye group, and both of these come to mean the hand-movement group. Moreover, the definite establishment of these relations is practically dependent upon the motor factors by which the hand and eye come to control the object. When such relations as these are once set up, we have a definite perception of an object about which we know something, i. e., that it is an object from which we can get certain kinds of familiar experiences.
It will be seen at once that in this series of events by which the perception becomes definite, the several steps involved are brought about on the strictly mental side by the action of attention, which we have previously sketched. First, there is the dissociative process, throwing out into the foreground of consciousness the visual characteristics of the bell, as distinguished from other things in the visual field. This is followed by the associative, or relating process, which connects this visual bell with the auditory and tactual-motor experiences. It remains, then, to inquire what further development takes place after the accomplishment of this synthesis of the different sensory activities of sound, sight, and touch into the consciousness of a single object.
Development of Perception.-- We spoke of fully developed perceptions a moment ago as habits. If this metaphor were en-
(130)-tirely appropriate, it might seem that perceptions would come to a certain point of development and then stop. Clearly, our reference to habit was in one particular misleading. Our most perfect habits are all but unconscious. A perception, on the other hand, is distinctly a conscious process. The truth of our statement lies in this fact, i. e., that just in the degree in which our necessities permit us to perceive and react upon objects in literally the same manner, time after time, do we tend to become unconscious of them and to react to them in accordance with the principle of mere habit. We thus become almost wholly oblivious to the exact appearance of a doorknob which we have occasion to turn very often. Our eyes may rest upon it momentarily, but only long enough to guide the band in its movement, and often without registering any visual impression of which we could immediately afterward give an exact account. There are also certain features of the neural process in perception which warrant our comparison with habit, and to these we shall come in a moment. The great mass of our perceptions, however, are of objects whose relations to us change sufficiently from time to time to make any complete subsidence of our consciousness of them incompatible with their effective manipulation; consequently we continue to be definitely aware of them.
The development of perception, which goes on in a certain sense more or less all our lives, and in a very definite sense up to the period of mental maturity, is plainly not a development involving simply a more automatic response to objects. Quite the contrary. The process which we commonly think of as growth in the powers of perception consists in the further elaboration of the discriminative and associative activities of attention. We learn to see Dew things in the old objects, new charactertistics,(sic) which before escaped our knowledge. We also learn more about the objects, and thus, when we perceive them, perceive them in a modified and more intelligent way. Speaking literally, it therefore appears that
(131) development in perception really involves perceiving new objects in the old.
A moment's reflection will show the similarity of this fact to one which we noted when analysing attention, i. e., that to continue our attention to an object for more than a moment we must notice something new about it, see it in a new way. We might of course substitute the word perception for the word attention, inasmuch as attention is an attribute of all consciousness, and then the proposition would read: we can not continue to perceive an object beyond a moment or two, unless we perceive it in a new manner. Perceptions which we do not execute in a new way we have already seen do actually tend to lapse from consciousness, passing over into habits of response which we make to certain physical stimuli.
When a child is taught to observe the arrangement of the petals in a flower, he thenceforth perceives the flower in a new way. To him it really is a new object. All development in perception is of this kind, and constitutes a sort of transformation by the unfolding of the old object into the new and richer one. The larger part of this perceptual development occurs during childhood and adolescence. Nevertheless, there is a continuation of the process in an inconspicuous way far into old age. Thus, we come in childhood to recognise the salient characteristics of the common things about us in every day life. During adolescence we enrich this material by observing more accurately the details of these things, and by increasing our knowledge of their general purport and relations. After attaining maturity our further advance is almost wholly connected with the affairs of our professional, or business, life. The musician becomes more sensitive to the niceties of harmonic accord and the nuances of melodic sequence. The business man becomes more observant of the things which pass under his eye, so far as they are related to his specialty. The elementary school teacher learns how to keep the corner of her eye sensitive to iniquity upon the back
(132) seat while apparently absorbed in listening to the recitation of virtue -upon the front bench. The mother learns to watch her children with an increasingly intelligent discrimination between acts which indicate illness and those which indicate fatigue, excitement, and transitory irritation. Everywhere development is primarily shown by fresh skill in the detec. tion of new features in old things.
Illusions.-Certain instances of illusion furnish a striking confirmation of the general idea of perception which we have been explaining. An illusion is a false, or erroneous, perception, which is often spoken of as a deception of the senses. But this is misleading, as we shall presently see, for the senses ordinarily operate properly enough. The difficulty is with our reaction upon the sensory material furnished to us. Among the most frequent of such illusions is the misreading of printed words. We sometimes read the words put before us as we have reason to suppose they ought to be, not as they are. Thus, if we come across the word mispirnt, many of us will read it in all good faith as misprint and never see the difference. We react to the general visual impression and its suggestion, and see what really is not before us. If the sentence in which the word occurs is such as to give us a definite anticipation of the word, the probability of our overlooking the typographical error is much increased. Similarly when we come into a darkened room where sits a spectral form-an experience which as children most of us have hadwe see a person with startling clearness; and the subsequent discovery, that the supposed person consists of clothing hanging upon a chair, is hard to accept as true. Illusions of sound are very common. We fancy we hear our names called, when in point of fact the sound we thus interpret may have been anything from a summons to some other person of similar name, to the barking of a dog, or the whistle of a locomotive. Tactual illusions are also easy to produce. The so-called "illusion of Aristotle " is a good specimen. (Figure
(133) 50.) Children often achieve it by crossing the first and second fingers, and then moving to and fro upon the bridge of the nose with the crotch thus formed between the fingers. Presently one becomes distressingly impressed with the fact that one possesses two noses.
This last instance is typical of many illusions, in that it is caused by stimulating with a single object the sides of the two fingers which are not ordinarily in contact with one another, and for the stimulation of which, accordingly, two objects are commonly necessary. We react in the familiar, the habitual, way to the simultaneous stimulation of these areas of the skin. This has invariably been accomplished hitherto by the pressure of two objects, and two objects we therefore feel eel. It is clear that in such a case the sense organ is in no way at fault. It sends in the impulses communicated to it just as it has always done before; but the reaction which we make upon the impression also follows the usual course, and in this special case happens consequently to be wrong. The same explanation applies to our reading of incorrectly spelled words. Many illusions of movement, e. g., such as we obtain in railroad trains, are of this character. The same general principle holds, but applied in a slightly different manner, when we see, or hear, or otherwise perceive, some object not actually present, because we are expecting to perceive it. Thus, if we are listening for expected footsteps, we find ourselves time after time interpreting other sounds as those of the awaited step. At night the nervous housewife wakens to hear the burglars passing from room to room along the corridor. Step follows step in stealthy but unmistakable rhythm, though the whole impression has no other objective basis than the occasional cracking of floors
(134) and partitions, phenomena which are the constant accompaniments of changing temperature. There are many kinds of illusions, be it said, which do not come immediately under the headings we have discussed. For example, such illusions as that in figure 51 are much too complex in their basis to be properly included, without modification, under the explanatory rubrics we have considered.
It is clear that a consideration of illusion affords new and striking confirmation of the part played in perception by previous experience. The cortical reaction suggested by the
stimulus does not happen to correspond to the object actually present. But this cortical reaction is evidently determined ,by the impress of old perceptual experiences whose traces have been preserved. The same point is admirably illustrated :by such drawings as the accompanying, figures 52 and 53. We can see the stairs, either as they appear from above, or from below. In one case the surface a seems nearer to us; in the other case b seems nearer. We can see in the other figure a big picture frame, the frustrum of a pyramid, or the entrance to a square tunnel. Yet one and the same object is presented to the retina in each case. The eye can
(135) hardly be accused of responsibility for the shifting results. But lines like these have actually been connected in our former perceptions with the several objects named, and in consequence the cortical reaction appropriate to either of them may be called out. It would seem abundantly certain, therefore, that while a portion of what we perceive is always supplied from without, another portion, and often the dominant portion, is supplied from within ourselves.
Hallucination.-- In distinction from illusion, which is essentially perception, (i. e., a consciousness of particular material things present to sense-though other things than those really perceived happen to be present), hallucination is the name given to the consciousness of objects felt to be physically present, when as a matter of fact no object of any kind is at hand. Illusions are every day experiences familiar to all of us. Hallucinations, nations, while by no means infrequent,
are much less common and consequently more difficult to describe satisfactorily. Many of the alleged telepathic phenomena involve hallucinations. Thus, for instance, one is sitting alone in a room and suddenly sees another person, known to be thousands of miles distant, come in and sit down. Again, when alone in the same way, one suddenly hears some sentence clearly spoken. In neither case, needless to say, is anyone actually present, save the owner of the hallucination; and
(136) there are no obvious external phenomena which could be held accountable for the experience. All the senses seem to be represented from time to time in the hallucinatory perceptions, although hearing and vision are, perhaps, the ones most frequently involved.
An interesting distinction has been made between true hallucination and what is called pseudo-hallucination. In the first case the perceived object not only seems external and real, but there is in the mind of the person experiencing the hallucination no suspicion at the time that the object seen, or heard, is not actually real and present. In the second form there is a sort of background consciousness, such as we sometimes note in dreams, which assures the victim that the phenomenon is after all imaginary and unreal, despite its genuinely objective appearance.
It has been suggested that hallucinations are really extreme forms of illusions, extreme cases of misinterpretation of sensory stimuli, resting upon highly disintegrated cortical forms of reaction. The sensory source of the stimulation has been sought at times in pathological conditions of the sense organs, e. g., congestion of circulation in the eve, or ear, etc.
There are many facts which tend to confirm this view, which is advocated by certain of. the most competent judges; and some others which are very difficult of reconciliation with it. A discussion of the point at issue would take us too far afield for present purposes, and readers who are interested in such matters must consult some of the more extended and specialised treatises. Meantime, we must admit that unless this last suggestion is correct, hallucination furnishes an exception to the general rule that cortically initiated conscious processes are less vivid and less definitely externalised than those which originate in sense organs. If hallucination is not peripherally initiated, it belongs to the group of phenomena which we shall examine in the chapter upon imagina-
(137)-tion, and we may defer further discussion of it until we reach that point.
Neural Process in Perception.-The nervous pathways involved in perception are probably identical with those which we have described in connection with sensation processes. In vision, for example, the occipital regions in the cortex are unquestionably employed, in cases of auditory perception the temporal region is active, etc. But there is this highly important fact to be taken more explicitly into account, i. e., that in perception the cortical activity, which is in part decided by the kind of neural stimulus sent into it, is in large measure determined by the modifications which previous experiences have impressed upon the structure of the hemispheres. Evidently this is but a statement in physiological terms of the doctrine which we have already enunciated in psychological form. As we observed in our discussion of habit, every nervous current which passes through the central system seems to leave its impress behind it, and this impress modifies the nature of the neural excitations which follow it. The case of perception is, accordingly, only a special instance of this general principle, albeit a peculiarly important and conspicuous one. It is on this account, i. e., because of the fundamental importance of the accumulating modifications of the cortex, that we compared perception, earlier in the chapter, to the case of habit. From the side of neural action, therefore, perception cannot be referred simply to the employment of a certain pathway throughout the sensory-motor tracts; it must be referred to a certain kind of action, in which the result in consciousness appears to be a product of two neural factors-sensory stimulus into cortex modified by previous experience.
General Function of Perception. -- In order to give perceptual processes their proper setting among the psychophysical activities of adjustment, we must revert once again to our notion of the sensory-motor circuit. We have already ob-
(138) -served that in this device the sense organs represent so many telephonic receivers ready to transmit inward messages from the external world to the organism. We have also described in a general way the method by which certain kinds of motor reactions to these sensory stimulations are brought to pass. But in the higher brain centres the pathways connecting sense organs with muscles are often extremely complex, and a stimulus transmitted inward by the afferent nerves may lead to innumerable intermediary brain activities before it issues again in movements of the voluntary muscles. Now perception is the conscious concomitant of certain of these brain processes. Memory imagination, reasoning, etc., are others. Bearing these facts in mind, and observing closely what actually occurs when we are engaged in perceiving objects, we readily detect the main function of perception.
Perception represents the direct, organised, and systematised internal reaction of the individual upon his environment. The process is sometimes called presentation, and this is a good name for it. In it the world is presented as a system of relations-not merely reflected as a disorganised mass of atoms and molecules, but constructed by the various activities of attention into definite objects. If sensation is properly described, after a common fashion, as the process in which the mind and the world of matter first come together, perception may be described as the point in which the past and the present come together for the creation of a new object. The perceived thing is not simply the physically present vibrations of atoms and molecules which we call light, or sound, or what not; it is these vibrations, as they are interpreted by a psychophysical organism which exposes to them a nervous system already affected by past experiences, that enable it to get only certain specific kinds of results from the present synthesis. Evidently we make far more constant use of our past experience than common-sense observation would lead us to suppose. It is not only when we
(139) reflect upon our past life that we shape our action in accordance with its instructions and admonitions; every time we open our eyes to see, or our ears to hear, what we can see and hear is in a true sense and in large measure determined for us by what we have previously learned to see and hear. It is a moralistic truism that only the good can really love and appreciate virtue. But this principle is not simply, nor primarily, a moral tenet. It is based on irrefutable and unavoidable psychological foundations. It states a law of the mind which we might wish at times to chancre, but cannot. We can only perceive those things which our experience allows us to perceive. The things may be there before us in all their beauty and purity. But we cannot see them if our minds have been wholly unschooled in such perceptions. The first and basic function of perception, then, is to afford us our primary knowledge of a world of objects amid which we have to live. It is the first actual, definite, and complete step in the process of knowledge whose further and more complex features we have next to examine.
The second great function of perception grows out of the first. Indeed, it might be regarded as in a measure simply a corrolary of the first. All the sensory and afferent processes have their ultimate value, as we saw must be the case in Chapter II, because of the more efficient movements of adjustment to which they lead. Perception is no exception to this rule. Now in order that sensory stimulations may not lead at once to motor responses, but may be interpreted and correlated with other sensory impulses, it is evidently necessary that there should be some provision for halting them momentarily, and identifying them, when they come again and again. Perception is the process by which this identification is made possible; and so it comes to pass that perception is the first, both logically and genetically, of the conscious operations by which the life of control is inaugurated.
We have repeatedly seen that perception involves immediately within itself the effects of antecedent experience, and a secondary result of this complication with memory processes is that when we perceive an object which is in any way familiar we instantly recognise it. If the object thus recognised be one about which our previous experience is unambiguous, we respond almost instantly with appropriate movements-- those of aversion, if it be repulsive or harmful, those of approbation, when the contrary sentiments are aroused. If the object have no such definite antecedent reactions connected with it, we straightway fall to deliberating as to our course of action ; or if the impression be wholly fleeting, we pass to some more stimulating enticement.
Perception is thus the gateway through which the mass of sensory excitations (save those already grown purely habitual) must pass before they can be permitted to set up motor responses of the volitional kind. Often the perceptual activity is sufficient to decide this volition. The clock strikes and we rise to leave the room. When mere perception is not felt to be adequate to the case, the matter is handed over to reflective deliberation. In either event, voluntary response is safeguarded. The formation of the elements of the process of knowledge and the inauguration of the control over movements in accordance with the mandates of experience-these are the two great functions of perception. This statement applies without modification to the special phases of perception, to which we shall next advert.

It's been a whole month since my last outfit post! Whew. Way back when, I originally thought that I would start a style blog, as I've been reading style blogs for the last 3 or 4 years and I LOVE clothes and dressing creatively. But man, am I glad I didn't go down that road! Taking and editing pictures is so much harder for these than other posts. I think that's because 1) you have to recruit another person to take your photos (well, you don't have to but it makes it a whole lot easier) and, 2) you're so much harder on pictures of yourself than of...well, not of yourself. Also, as much as I love clothes and all, I wouldn't exactly call it something I'm passionate about, like I am about yoga and living my best life. It's a lot easier to write about things you're really excited about. So there's that, too. It IS fun to do these outfit posts, because like I said, I am a lover of clothing myself; I'm just glad they don't happen more often!
Anyway. I digress(ed). Here is my offering for this week's prompt, what to wear to ride your bike. When I lived in Minneapolis, I rode my bike to work every day when it was warm enough, and I can tell you first hand that you can ride your bike in ANYTHING. It might not be elegant, but you can do it. So don't let that stop you from riding. I rarely wear pants (although I think every one of my outfit posts for this series I have worn pants...hmmm, weird), and have ridden in everything from a mini to a maxi skirt and everything in between. I will say that pencil skirts are a little tough, and if you go the mini route, throw on a pair of shorts unless you like getting cat-called. (Excuse me for another aside. WTF is with getting cat called in this day and age? I cannot believe that women are still treated like walking breasts and legs by strange men on the street. Does this happen where you live? It didn'happen too often in Minnesota, but I found that it was SUPER common in California...disgusting.) I went the pants-route here mostly because it was cool out, and I was so excited to finally put on a sweater and scarf. However, by the time I finished taking these pics, the sun had come out and I was too hot.
Re: the bike. She just got a new brake job, and she's riding like a dream. I LOVE the milk crate on the back of my bike; so handy for hauling groceries or my purse. I also have bike lights for night riding. What I do not have and I need, is a bike helmet. Not only is it just a smart idea, but it's the law here in Washington. I just rode around the park here for a minute, but when I get a helmet I'm excited to take my bike for a ride around the lake by my house.
We have even MORE new members joining us this round! Exciting! Be sure to check out the other What to Wear lady-gang members:

Just for Textbooks: An Insanely Large Dual-Screen Tablet [PICS]
A company called Kno, Inc. has announced its flagship product, simply dubbed the Kno. The device is two large 14-inch touchscreens joined by a hinge that specifically targets the education sector.
Earlier we dinged the Dell Streak for being a bit on the small side, but the Kno tablet seems to suffer from the opposite problem. Announced at D8, the Kno weighs in at 5.5 pounds and more than an inch thick, rendering it comparable to a laptop but with two screens instead of a screen and keyboard.
The company refers to the device as a "digital textbook platform" and has partnered with publishers Cengage Learning, McGraw-Hill, Pearson and Wiley to produce content for the Kno in a beta program that will kick off at major U.S. colleges and universities this fall.
Based on Linux, the Kno also boasts support for Adobe Flash — a hot topic right now since that's something the iPad doesn't include. Developers are encouraged to participate in building out a third-party app store for the device.
As for pricing, all we know is that it will be "under $1000," which already sounds too high. Check out a demo video of the Kno and a few more screenshots below, then let us know what you think: Will students be interested in picking up a device like this? If so, would it be in place of or in addition to a laptop or desktop?

Paudie Maher insists Tipperary's resurrection will mean nothing unless they can seal the deal and seize the All-Ireland crown.
Written off by many after losing in Munster at home to Limerick at the start of June, the Premier's hurlers have bounced back off the ropes in spectacular fashion by reaching the All-Ireland final.
They've beaten Galway, Offaly, Dublin and Cork along the way but Maher is says the run can't stop there, even if old rivals Kilkenny are looking to lift the Liam McCarthy Cup for the 10th time in Brian Cody's reign.
"It's a great feeling," said the Tipp defender after his side's 10-point win over Cork on Sunday. "We put in a huge effort and thankfully we kept pushing.
"That's all great – but we have to go on and win it now.
"All we have done in the last few weeks will go down the drain if we don't go on and win the final. Since the Limerick game we kept doing what we were doing, the training and the matches were great and thankfully we started getting the results and reaping the rewards.
"But look, we have to up it again somehow because there is a big test waiting for us in three weeks.There's no point getting this far and putting in all that work unless we get a result."
Tipp's last All-Ireland final success came in 2010, the second act of a thrilling trilogy of deciders between the Premier men and their Kilkenny counterparts.
Now 25, Maher was part of the side that triumphed four years ago when Tipp also came through the qualifier route, as they have done this summer. It could be an omen for Eamon O'Shea's side.
"You could say we are going along the same route but it is definitely tougher this time round compared to what we went through before," said Maher.
"We know the team we are playing against and they know us as well so we are going to have to bring a performance and that comes from the next three weeks in training."
Maher was certain Tipp had a big performance in them based on their build-up to the Cork game.
"Since around the Clare league semi-final we have been training very well, and unfortunately things didn't go our way against Limerick in the last few minutes," he said.
"We played last Saturday in an A v B game. You are playing lads that are fighting for their place and your jersey and you have to keep putting in the hard work.
"Those matches have been great. We have a magnificent panel of players.
"You could sense it in training, we knew we were capable of a big performance.
"We had to keep the pressure on Cork because they can get a run on you, with the quality of their forwards they will punish you.
"It was disappointing to give away the goal near the end but if that's all we are giving out about it's not too bad.
"When you see the likes of Michael Cahill and these lads coming on you know there is something good happening
and hopefully we can keep the competition going for the next few weeks and set ourselves up for the final."

Mill Ridge was a small farming community located on the east bank of the French Broad River just up from the town of Hot Springs. Nowadays there are a couple of forest roads, a lot of mountain biking trails and a few foundations remaining. The large open areas up here were once tobacco fields.
The AT leads southbound up into the Mill Ridge area from Tanyard Gap (US 25/70 outside of Hot Springs). There's also a forest road that leads up to a parking area for the bike trails. Where the AT leads back down into the forest there's an old dam with a large pond above it. We followed the AT as far as the Pump Gap loop trail which makes a circle with the AT.
Along with the dam and some building foundations, the old Mill Ridge Cemetery is located just a little ways off the Pump Gap trail. Most of the stones have fallen over or been broken but it's still a curious thing to find out in the middle of the forest.
Overall this is a fairly easy hike of about 5 to 6 miles. It's probably more difficult if done from Hot Springs due to the elevation gain. We did come across a couple of salamanders, but they refused to hold still for photographs, so we have to include this fungus instead.

2 A. M. Panama City was asleep last week, except for the little Chinese grocery stores which never close.
Panama has no Army, no Navy, only police.
Stealthily, while street lights winked, a group of men approached the Central Po lice Station. Their leader carried a large sabre without scabbard, wore a soiled white linen suit, no hat, brilliant yellow shoes. It was a revolution.
Some of the revolutionists had machetes, others had shotguns, rifles, pistols; one had a "riot gun." In at the doors and windows of the Central Police Station they...

Athens QB Burrow Commits To Ohio State< < Back to
Athens quarterback Joe Burrow had made it known that he wanted to decide on his collegiate plans before his senior season began this August.
Tuesday morning, Burrow followed through on his word, as he announced that he had committed to the Ohio State University on his Twitter account.
Burrow, who stands at 6-foot-4, is rated as a four-star recruit and listed by 247Sports.com as the nation's No. 10 dual-threat quarterback and Ohio's No.14 recruit.
He is the third commitment to Ohio State's 2015 class, and according to 247Sports, he chose the Buckeyes over the likes of Cincinnati, Iowa State, Kentucky, Minnesota, Maryland, N.C. State, Vanderbilt and West Virginia.
Burrow also held a scholarship offer from the hometown Ohio Bobcats, where his father, Jimmy, is the defensive coordinator.
He took an unofficial visit to OSU on April 4, and then received the offer from OSU on Tuesday.
Asked about his commitment to OSU, Burrow told 247Sports that he "couldn't turn down the opportunity to win multiple National Championships and to be coached by Urban Meyer."
In 2013, Burrow emerged as one of the best quarterback prospects in the country, throwing for 3,792 yards and 47 touchdowns, and running for another 589 yards and nine touchdowns. The season led to him being named the 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Ohio.

Once upon a time, there was a hard-working business owner who changed lives for a living. While she was a natural teacher, uplifter, and deeply passionate about her work, she was unfortunately still dependent on a separate "day job" to pay the bills –– and she desperately wanted to change that. She wanted to be financially self-sufficient and consistently productive doing the work she loved.
But there was just one tiny problem: Despite her skills, she didn't know how to get clients or make the kind of money she needed to make to leave her day job and still live comfortably. So she felt stuck. And tired. And completely overwhelmed and confused by where to start and what to do to finally start living the life she knew she was capable of. (We know, that sentence ends in a preposition.)
Enter: Abundant Yogi.
(That's us.) We're the official fixers of this problem. We provide training, nourishment, clarity and support to the uplifters of the world so they can do the work they love PROFITABLY. We teach the art of lifestyle design and the science of doing business the smart way.
Here at Abundant Yogi, we don't rely on lofty, impractical advice or regurgitated marketing speak; rather, we're experts in the science of human behavior. Because at the core of every transaction is a human. And at the core of every human? Is precisely what will change everything. …Once you understand how, that is.
You won't find many people on the planet as obsessed with Lifestyle Design (AKA Freedom) and Lucrative Self-Realization as I am. I'm relentless.
You won't find many people on the planet as obsessed with Lifestyle Design (AKA Freedom) and Lucrative Self-Realization as I am. I'm relentless.
The biggest role I play with my clients and on this team? I'm the desire clarifier; the nourisher; the freedom protector; the grounding force; the limiting belief crusher; the truth barometer. I help ensure that every action taken and every decision made is supportive of, and in alignment with, how we want to feel and who we are consciously becoming.
As YOU interact with me here, 100% of my focus will be on your deepest clarity and self-care and your most lucrative self-realization, i.e. empowering you to do what you love without burning out or selling out, and still have your work fund your lifestyle of choice.
Because why live half-asleep and by default, just reacting to life (often very fearfully), when we can be fully awake and expressed, right where we are… emotionally self-reliant, deeply connected and really contributing the very best of who we are to ourselves and to the world? And why not continually evolve ourselves and engineer all the ingredients of our lives on purpose and by design––including our freest career and schedule; where and how we live; our relationships; even how we want to FEEL most of the time? As for a sneak peak into personal me, I'm a part-time bootie-droppin' hip hop dancer, interior designer, fashionista, yoga teacher, foodie and toddler mama. An eclectic and fun mixed bag!
I'm on a Mindful Marketing Mission.
My religion is to do good in this world. Plain and simple. My doctrine is to show people that there is a better, more effective way to go about trying to influence people to want to buy their stuff, and it doesn't have to include greed or hype. It doesn't have to include slapping people in the face with sleazy sales pitches or obnoxious offers or spamming their friends, family and strangers. It doesn't have to include blanketing a huge undifferentiated group of people with a one-fits-all message in hopes that a tiny fraction will respond. Most people who do this do it by default –– and it's no more fun for them than it is for those they are trying to influence or persuade.
Marketing done mindfully makes selling easy and oftentimes completely unnecessary. It works regardless of your business or business model. Oh, and all that resistance you feel about approaching people for fear of being rejected? It's simple to overcome once you understand how to truly be of service and make relevant offers to the right people at the right time, and you demonstrate very basic leadership skills. It's this same understanding and these same skills that I leverage and teach on a daily basis both as head trainer of AY and CEO of this enterprise. On a personal note, I'm a passionate rock climber, kiteboarder, skydiver, skateboarder, stilt walker, and in business with my WIFE (that's the trickiest sport of them ALL, but I've gotten pretty damn good at it over the last 10+ years!).
I'm not the newest kid on the block, having been a student for a number of years, but one day jumped the fence into the AY backyard.
So here's me. I'm the innovator of the bunch. I like the details and I like to wrangle them in a way that advances our internal systems and improves customer experience. This usually takes shape in the form of designing systems or processes that are lean and effective. I love to solve complex problems and push projects toward an ideally realized state. I've a strong history in Quality Assurance — read, high standards of excellence and am conscious of the details. So, being someone that works primarily behind the curtain greasing wheels and turning knobs, you'll get processes that are well thought out, scalable, and work well. I'm a client-side programmer and have a blast with all that webbie-type stuff. But for me, it's not about 0's and 1's, it's more about figuring out the process to make it all happen. I'm pretty fearless when it comes to forging over new terrain. In fact, if I don't get to learn anything, it takes half the fun!
Playtime to me means re-inventing something at my little farmhouse-chic abode. I'm a voracious reader and thrive on being grounded. I'm ever-flanked by my three kids with an adventure afoot. And usually, I'm ready for it.
I'm the down-to-earth problem-solver and process builder who has a way with words and a passion for explaining things in a way anyone can understand.
I've learned a lot of things the hard way. Not on purpose, mind you, but most of what I know was self-taught out of necessity. Being that I'm always eager to learn and apply new ideas, I'm proud to say I'm still a work in progress…and always will be.
Over the years, I've decided one of my main purposes in life is to teach people everything I've learned (and continue to learn) in order to help them work smarter (not harder) and to live a more fulfilling life. Apart from teaching people in my down-to-earth, heart-to-heart kind of way on the company blog, I employ my knack for looking at complex systems and processes and then break them down into more manageable bite-sized pieces. Once I've tamed the beast, I create kick-ass documentation that anyone can easily read and have the knowledge they need to jump in and take the helm.
Outside of work, you might find me going on an adventure with my family in places near and far, trying to capture the endless beauty of the world through the lens of a camera, dabbling in expanding my cooking repertoire, or relaxing with a good crossword puzzle.
I've got stories spiraling out of my brain like smoke rings at a Phish concert. I'm in love with Tom Robbins, Danielle LaPorte, and Stephen King, all at the same time. (I'm kind of a player that way.)
When you meet me in person, you may find me rather serious. That's because I think a lot, I'm an introvert, and I'd rather eat socks than engage in small talk. I'm like a fine cabernet – interesting, complex, but ultimately delicious. I just need to breathe for a while before I can open up.
Writing is where I let loose. It's where I get loopy and silly and dorky and bold. It's where I cozy up to the brilliant and throw pizza parties for the inane.
Words jostle around my brain like a never-ending tumble dry cycle. Complete with missing socks. I may have eaten one the last time I went to a party.
When I'm not writing, I'm reading. Or cooking. When the house is dirty, I have a full-on Capricorn freak out. When life gets really stressful and it all feels like too much, I watch What About Bob.
I am the only female presence in a houseful of men — my caring, patient, dad-joke-making husband, and my tiger-striped, box-obsessed cat, who is currently ass-up in the recycling bin.
I am the Vision Holder and Dream Instigator wrapped up in momentum and grace.
I am nourisher by heart and a yoga therapist by trade. My work is my prayer. I invite people to come back home to themselves and create the fertile ground for them to flourish and thrive. My job is to guide you in realizing your highest potential and inspiring the courage to move into it with power and light.
As each one of us turns on our own light to share, I imagine that we must all look like constellations from afar. I believe in collaboration and holding space. I believe in living inspired by the darkness, never defeated. At AY, I coach and guide others in creation and heightened potential to utilize the innate messages written on the heart and attain the tools necessary to live the life most loved. When we are aligned with our purpose and doing what fills us from the inside; happiness is inevitable. Success orbits around happiness and my goal is to share the process of self-actualization and moving through limitation.
What grounds me? I am smitten for the little things; cozy evenings, journaling, my faith, movement, chai, sweaters with thumbholes, acoustic music, my cats, and my sweet husband who keeps me rooted and inspired.
I believe we are all storytellers at our core — and I just love a good story. I bet you have an interesting one.
I'm passionate about helping people fall in love with their own uniqueness. I fiercely believe we've all landed on this planet to bring "that thing" that makes "you, you" to the world — and to make this place a whole lot better in the process. I'm a mojo motivator.
Living in a state of wonder about the magical potential in every moment, is where I feel most at home. I'm energized by learning and I totally believe that anything is possible — and, that it's a whole lot easier with a rockstar team helping you get there.
Through my work with AY, I aim to turn strangers into creative collaborators. I'm here to assist in the growth and support of this insanely cool community. If you've found your way to AY, chances are you and I might be speaking very soon (at least I hope we do!). I'm here to help build sustainable relationships with our clients through open and interactive communication. I want to ensure your goals with AY are fully realized and your experience with the process is stellar. It's all about the journey, right? And I'm here to make yours smooth sailing.
Personally, you'll find me teaching & practicing yoga, exploring the enchanting world of energy healing, pretending to be a mermaid or listening to my brother rap.

Election Season Vampire Hunting: 'Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter'
This is an action flick that stumbles under the weight of its title and needs to tell a bigger story to justify it. But it also has the 16th President of the United States beheading the Undead with an axe he wields like a katana blade. Lower your expectations and enjoy.
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire HunterDirector: Timur Bekmambatov
Cast: Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper
Distributor: Fox
Release date: 2012-10-23
The contemporary mania for the mash-up, blending genres and historical eras (think Steampunk) borrows much of its jouissance from the pure joy of mixing things that don't belong together. It's an act of artistic transgression, done just because it can be done.
Seth Grahame-Smith succeeded with this once with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The novel that followed it, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter proved a hit with readers and critics alike.
Arguably, the fun should have stopped there. Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter deflates our suspension of disbelief with its absurd premise. But the novel so submerged the reader in the actual biography of Lincoln, complete with not a few primary documents repurposed to tell the story of the President as vampire slayer, that it was easy to get over, or really come to believe in, the title. The immersive experience recreates the feeling of the 19th century, so much so that Grahame-Smith deserves praise for writing an excellent historical novel as much as an excellent piece of genre fiction.
The film couldn't develop this world for us in an hour and a half and some of its limitations are due to this fact. As Grahame-Smith describes in his excellent audio commentary, the film had to be episodic, have a clear single villain and, of course, a thrilling climax. All this forced him to hustle us through the narrative.
But critics have been too hard on the film. There are some beautiful, painterly shots here and there. And there are elements here anyone can enjoy. Grahame-Smith's script moves fluidly and plays the story straight, just as the novel did. Benjamin Walker carries a tough role well and plays the vampire slaying President in a way that keeps this from making it to some list of worst films ever made. The climax, B-movie silliness about trying to keep vampires from stopping a trainload of silver bullets from making it to Gettysburg, is a stunning action sequence (Bekmambetov loves a good train fight sequence as every fan of Wanted knows).
Of course, there are serious problems, as well. The profusion of CGI at times makes the film look so clean that the 19th century world the novel evoked looks too bright and shiny, simply not lived in. Moreover, if you despise director Timur Bekmambetov's signature style of photography, action sequences slowed down to a crawl and lots of phantom image camera work, this movie is definitely not for you.
The blu-ray edition of Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter comes packed with a rich set of extras. Certainly the most rewarding is the animated feature "The Great Calamity" that sketches out a side of the novel unexplored in the film, the relationship between Abe Lincoln and Edgar Allan Poe and the story of vampires coming to America. Directed by Javier Soto, it's beautifully realized and will be a special pleasure for fans of the novel and those who want to explore Grahame-Smith's secret history of America.
Seth Grahame-Smith provides audio commentary. This obviously gives the commentary a heavy focus on the nature of the narrative and the relationship between the book and the film. It also means that less emphasis on the making of the film is provided, in part because, as Grahame-Smith notes, he was not present for much of the filming.
In the commentary, Seth Grahame-Smith describes the fairly outlandish premise of the project as a "chocolate and peanut butter" moment. While he travelled the country promoting Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, he found piles of Lincoln books appearing because of the 2009 bicentennial of his birth. These, he says, were always stacked near the Twilight table. In certain respects, this really was a project born out of our cultural obsessions of the moment and worth reading, and watching, for this reason alone.
The "Making of" feature contains five segments dealing with the origins of the film in the novel, on location photography, fight choreography, visual effects and a segment on director Timur Bekmambetov's visual style. The last is especially interesting, given that Bekmambetov's aesthetic tends to be either loved or hated. This featurette obviously provides much praise for his work but also explains the process of "speed ramping" that gives a sense of the art and design behind the CGI effects. Moreover, it makes the point that Bekmambetov's background in production design influences his aesthetic as a director in a way that at least gives us some sympathy for the look he tries to achieve.
Fans of the books who skipped the film in theatres will enjoy Grahame-Smith's involvement with the blu-ray and should give the film another chance. It's a basically sturdy action flick stumbling under the weight of its title and needing to tell a bigger story to justify it. But it also has the 16th President of the United States beheading the Undead with an axe he wields like a katana blade. Lower your expectations and enjoy.

I want to test this. but I'm going to need another hard disk to experiment with…
| 20
Ubuntu 10.10
Posted in Operating systems | Created by Erky
Works great on my Acer Aspire One, running Avant Window Navagator and screenlets. Smooth as anything!
Found that with each successive version, support got worse and worse for my Acer Aspire – pretty much to teh point where I can't use it anymore.
Frustrating that I want to change my system to Linux but it doesn't work that well for me (at least on my current hardware). I have an edition of 12.04 64bit that will run on the Mac so I might have to test it out on there.
How are you going with the adware that's included in 12.10?
