Theresa May: I'll put forward a plan to break Irish border deadlock soon
The PM insists the UK will leave the EU customs union at the end of the Brexit transition period.
Theresa May has told EU leaders she will "shortly" table proposals to resolve the vexed issue of the Irish border which is threatening to derail the Brexit negotiations.
Attending the EU Western Balkans summit in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, the Prime Minister reaffirmed her commitment that there should be no return of a "hard border" between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
At the same time she stressed the EU's "backstop" solution – that the North should remain aligned with the EU if there is no Brexit deal – remained unacceptable to the UK.
Her promise to bring forward her alternative plan came as Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar warned Britain's EU withdrawal agreement could be in jeopardy unless the deadlock was resolved.
Following what she described as a "very constructive" meeting with Mr Varadkar in the margins of the summit, Mrs May said they were working on what the UK's future customs relationship with the EU would be.
"The commission published a fallback option which was not acceptable to us and we will be bringing forward our own proposal for that fallback option in due course," she said.
"Certainly any move on customs that brings the UK closer to the EU is to be welcomed but resolving the issue of avoiding a hard border requires more than customs," he told the Irish broadcaster RTE.
Earlier, arriving at the Sofia summit, Mr Varadkar said unless there was real and substantial progress" by the time of the next EU summit in June there would be serious questions as to whether there would be a withdrawal agreement at all.
He said it remained an "absolute red line" for Ireland that there must be no hard border on the island and that all 27 remaining EU states supported the current "backstop" proposal.
"If the UK wants to put forward alternatives to that – whether it's an alternative text to the backstop or whether it's some some sort of alternative relationship between the UK and the EU – we are willing to examine that," he said.
"But we need to see it written down in black and white, we need to know that it's workable and legally operable and we have yet to see anything that remotely approaches that."
Earlier Mrs May – who also held talks with European Council president Donald Tusk and commission president Jean-Claude Juncker – denied a report the UK could remain tied to the customs union for years after formally leaving the bloc while the future arrangements are resolved.
"No we are not (climbing down). The United Kingdom will be leaving the customs union, we are leaving the European Union," she said.
Speaking later at a news conference in the Macedonian capital Skopje en route back, she acknowledged there would have to be "arrangements" as to how cross-border matters were dealt with in relation to customs.
However she stressed the UK would be operating its own "independent trade policy" after the end of 2020 when the planned 21-month transition period expires.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the influential European Research Group, told The Daily Telegraph: "We have gone from a clear end point, to an extension, to a proposed further extension with no end point.
"The horizon seems to be unreachable. The bottom of the rainbow seems to be unattainable. People voted to leave, they did not vote for a perpetual purgatory."

Hi all!
My name is Zuleika and I love to crochet. I'm very happy to have joined this blog and look forward to contributing.
I'm originally from the small island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh, Scotland since 2005. I have 3 beautiful boys and am self employed. (www.hobbyzu.com)
Just figured I'd introduce myself before I started posting anything. :-)
Now, I don't like posting without photos, so here is one of the many things I'm currently working on. I started afghans for my two youngest sons and am adding to them in between crocheting items for my shop. They've grown a bit more since this photo, but I want to wait until it's a really significant difference before posting another pic. :-)
I'm using the zen spiral pattern from lion brand. It's very simple and easy to follow.
Off to work on some hats, bye for now!

IRB Training and Resources
Required Human Subjects Training
The University of North Texas Institutional Review Board (IRB) requires that all individuals working with human subjects in research complete an instructional program before the IRB will review an application. This policy reflects UNT's commitment to the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects in research and incorporates the requirements of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Upon successful completion of either course, a "certificate of completion" may be printed and retained by the researcher. A copy of the certificate must be submitted to the UNT IRB as part of the researcher's first human subjects research proposal. Training certification is valid for three years. After three years, researchers must take the "Refresher Course" which is the shorter version of the initial training. This training requirement covers not only Investigators, but also all individuals identified as "key personnel" who are responsible for the design, conduct, and reporting of the study. The Investigator will submit a copy of the CITI completion certificate for each of the "key personnel."
To register for a Human Subjects Research course through CITI, follow these steps:
1. Go to https://about.citiprogram.org/en/homepage/
2. Click the box on the top right that says 'Register'.
3. Complete Registration Steps 1-7. In Step 1, select "University of North Texas (Denton, TX)" as your "Organization Affiliation". Step 6 is where you will enter your information specifically related to UNT, such as your institution email address and EUID. It is recommended by CITI that you not use your institutional email as your main point of contact.
4. In Step 7, "Select Curriculum" page, in Question 3 choose the "Social & Behavioral Research Investigators" course under the Human Subjects Research header. You may also select other courses you wish to view on this page. Then click the 'Complete Registration' box at the end of the page.
5. On the following page, click the box 'Finalize Registration'.
6. The Human Subjects Research course you selected should now appear on your "Main Menu" page as "Social and Behavioral Research-Basic/Refresher". You may enter the course by clicking on the name and complete at your convenience, re-entering the course as needed. You will receive a "Completion Certificate" upon successful completion of all required modules.

David Brooks has admitted Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder was right to read his team the riot act ahead of Friday night's pivotal game against Bristol City.
Wilder could be heard lambasting United's players behind their dressing room draw following last weekend's defeat at Millwall, before emerging to tell the media their performance "did not represent what this club is all about" during a furious post-match address.
The result saw fourth-placed United lose further ground on the automatic promotion places, while City climbed above them into third after beating Middlesbrough.
Although Wilder's words have cast a shadow over their preparations for the visit of Lee Johnson's side, Brooks acknowledged his anger was justified and insisted it will serve as an extra motivation over the Christmas period.
"It's not nice but we deserved it," the Wales international said. "The manager isn't one to shy away from telling us, he's honest and passionate. When we haven't been good enough, he'll tell us. When we have been good enough, he'll tell us that too.
"He's positive when we've been good. I do think we deserved a bit of a b********g and we certainly got one."
Wilder's diatribe - "Unacceptable is quite a harsh word to use but I'm not far off it" - will have come as a shock to the system for Brooks given his stellar progress this term. The attacker, who scored United's goal during the 3-1 reverse - won his first senior cap for Wales last month and was recently awarded an new improved contract after impressing coaching staff since graduating from the Steelphalt Academy.
But his description of how Wilder treats his squad behind the scenes reveals why, given their otherwise impressive start to the Championship season, United's players took the 50-year-old's comments on the chin.
"When you haven't been good enough and you get told," Brooks, aged 20, continued, "You've got to step it up for the next game. We're all grown-ups in there and you have to take it. Like I say, when we've done well we get told that as well.
"This season is a great chance for us to show what we can do. I've got no doubts we can respond. Training day in, day out, I know what the club is about and I know what the lads are about. We'll take what happened in the right way, we can all take it, and we'll try to rectify it. We're eager to get the next game underway."
Brooks, whose fellow academy graduate Regan Slater travelled with United to London, partnered Leon Clarke in attack at The Den. Despite failing to spark against Millwall, their partnership was the driving force behind September's victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
"I like playing with Leon, he knows where the back of the net is," Brooks said. "Leon is definitely the senior partner, I listen to what he tells me. All of the lads have been great to be fair. They talk to me before during and after the games to give me advice and that's great for my development."

"This Ultimate Dare" is utilitarian production at its most effective, little more than a bassline, some nicely layered percussion and an off-key hum. Its warmth and catchiness set it apart from a glut of similarly structured but vastly inferior deep house records. "Sun Rise Way" is more complex and cuter—almost comically so, with its tumbling bassline and mid-point digital bubbles—but while it's a pleasant enough, it doesn't have quite the same level of shoulder-twitching, foot-stepping infectiousness.

Mining, Quarrying, and Oil ...
Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction
The Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector comprises establishments that extract naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term mining is used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, and flotation), and other preparation customarily performed at the mine site, or as a part of mining activity. The Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector distinguishes two basic activities: mine operation and mining support activities. Mine operation includes establishments operating mines, quarries, or oil and gas wells on their own account or for others on a contract or fee basis. Mining support activities include establishments that perform exploration (except geophysical surveying) and/or other mining services on a contract or fee basis (except mine site preparation and construction of oil/gas pipelines). Establishments in the Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector are grouped and classified according to the natural resource mined or to be mined. Industries include establishments that develop the mine site, extract the natural resources, and/or those that beneficiate (i.e., prepare) the mineral mined. Beneficiation is the process whereby the extracted material is reduced to particles that can be separated into mineral and waste, the former suitable for further processing or direct use. The operations that take place in beneficiation are primarily mechanical, such as grinding, washing, magnetic separation, and centrifugal separation. In contrast, manufacturing operations primarily use chemical and electrochemical processes, such as electrolysis and distillation. However, some treatments, such as heat treatments, take place in both the beneficiation and the manufacturing (i.e., smelting/refining) stages. The range of preparation activities varies by mineral and the purity of any given ore deposit. While some minerals, such as petroleum and natural gas, require little or no preparation, others are washed and screened, while yet others, such as gold and silver, can be transformed into bullion before leaving the mine site. Mining, beneficiating, and manufacturing activities often occur in a single location. Separate receipts will be collected for these activities whenever possible. When receipts cannot be broken out between mining and manufacturing, establishments that mine or quarry nonmetallic minerals, and then beneficiate the nonmetallic minerals into more finished manufactured products are classified based on the primary activity of the establishment. A mine that manufactures a small amount of finished products will be classified in Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction. An establishment that mines whose primary output is a more finished manufactured product will be classified in Sector 31-33, Manufacturing.

Can Dogs Be Vegetarian?
With the way modern eating trends have been moving, there is a huge uptick in the number of people who are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet. From this, new vegetarians might wonder if there's a chance their dog can eat such a diet as well.
Even if you are not a vegetarian yourself, the constant debate over canine nutrition might have made you curious also – so, what's the truth of the matter? Can our canine friends abandon their meat-loving ways?
What Is A Vegetarian?
Put simply, vegetarians don't eat meat. They do eat products such as eggs and dairy, however. If they choose to eschew all animal products entirely, that is veganism rather than vegetarianism.
It varies from person to person whether or not vegetarians eat fish.
While vegetarianism is popular, studies have found 84% of vegetarians return to eating meat, so it may be a lifestyle phase – but definitely a popular one.
So, Can Dogs Be Vegetarians?
The simple answer is yes. You can feed your dog this Vegan dog food.
Unlike cats – who are obligate carnivores, due to their inability to produce an amino acid called taurine – dogs can be vegetarians. They can derive all the nutrients they need from plant-based protein sources, so while they are technically carnivores, they can actually survive and thrive without meat.
Is It A Good Idea For Dogs To Be Vegetarian?
Now this is the bigger question – and opinions differ wildly. At this point in time, there is no conclusive proof either way.
The truth is that quality is always going to be more important than the actual substance of your dog's food. If their food has a lot of fillers – particularly wheat-based fillers or rice – then these are nutritionally lacking, rather than providing something of real use to your dog's dietary needs.
The best way of describing the current knowledge of the situation is that dogs can be as healthy on a vegetarian diet as they can a meat-eating diet. Whether a vegetarian diet is preferable is yet to be ascertained in reliable, scientific study.
What Should An Owner Consider Before Starting Their Dog On A Vegetarian Diet?
If you are going to be preparing much of your dog's food yourself, you might want to consider investing in the best dog vitamins to ensure there are no essential nutrients being missed out of your concoctions. Discussing this with your vet will be beneficial, as they will be able to guide you towards the correct steps.
You may also experience problems convincing your dog to accept a vegetarian diet, especially if they have previously eaten meat. They might be resistant to going without meat. The best way of handling this is to introduce their new diet slowly and hope that they adjust, but it is a matter for each specific dog as to whether they choose to do so!
Should You Try A Vegetarian Diet For Your Dog?
This is entirely a personal decision. If you are a vegetarian and prefer the idea of the whole family going meat-free, then – provided your vet doesn't caution otherwise – there is no reason not to give it a try.
If you're not vegetarian, then it might be more beneficial to just focus on providing high-quality food for your dog – which will stand them in good stead in the long run.

Even a cursory comparison of the photo to the figure of Christ in Ge's painting makes obvious that the artist did not just sit down and copy the photo into the painting. First, and most noticeably, the image in the painting is reversed from that in the photo. Likewise, upon closer inspection, the head angle in the painting is slightly different from that in the photo. However, the similarities are equally interesting. The likeness is there (though not without some minor adjustments), as is the body pose. The painting's composition is startling in its informality, and I'm not at all sure who (or what) the silhouetted figure on the right is supposed to represent, except to note that it seems to be of major concern to everyone except Christ. (Judas maybe?)

'A fascinating tract on the state of the nation' - "Irish Examiner". 'McWilliams is a keen observer. This book is laden with insights' - "Sunday Business Post". As the Botox Economy is laid bare and the financial filler of other people's money becomes evident, the Jaggers, Jugglers and Bono Boomers struggle to maintain their slice of a diminished pie. However, the slow-down gives us the opportunity to take stock. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Taking a trip around the globe from Shanghai to New York, from Latin America to Central Europe, we can learn from history and appreciate that Ireland has a unique economic resource: our Global Tribe. If we exploit the demographic potential of the diaspora, we can re-invigorate the nation. The prosperity of future Irish generations is based on harnessing the collective power of past generations. This is the global "Generation Game."

A citizenry that sees and understands issues from the perspective of freedom's principles can influence outcomes at virtually every level of our lives. Moreover, all citizens who enjoy the privileges of a free society must play a part in keeping the nation's ideals of freedom on course. As someone who is passionate about keeping America free from tyranny, your partnership with Lens of Liberty will embrace a unique opportunity to grow a more responsible citizenry- citizens who will take smart, effective action when freedom is threatened.
Educating voters, the General Public, and Key Opinion Leaders in Communities and Neighborhoods
All Americans, and especially voters, should understand the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights, and the essential timeless principles in our founding documents.
All students graduating from America's public schools, as new voters, should understand the nation's history, civics, and founding principles at least as well as new immigrants do.
Educating American Public School Graduates
Educating Association Leaders and Members, Colleges, and Think Tanks
Conservative groups and their leaders should make it a priority that all their work begins
from the perspective of founding principles, and push programs that further educate
their constituencies on those ideals.
Educating Legislators, Governors, and Other State Officials
State and local governments should push back against federal over-reach and assert their
own sovereignty over a wide range of policies.
Helen Krieble delivers a compelling appeal to engage American citizenship and take action against threats to freedom. The new Lens of Liberty citizenship initiative video will be released in 2016.

"This was a case about religion; specifically, a critique and criticism of religion. Yes, religion is one of the defined groups to which protection from discrimination is granted, but somewhere along the line an important distinction became blurred, or erased outright.
There is a world of difference between "Catholics need not apply" and "Catholicism is nutty." As a recent report from the pro-secular Center for Inquiry succinctly put it: "Believers deserve protection. Beliefs do not."
If we can no longer make that distinction, then any critique of any religion is off limits — it becomes a de facto blasphemy law.
I'm not sure which is more alarming — that the Tribunal was empowered to hear this case in the first place, or that it failed to note this distinction."

2018 Honda Accord Designers Tell All: Seeing the light in reimagining an American icon
UPDATE: You can now read our full review of the 2018 Honda Accord
It's no easy task to remake a legend, but that just what the designers faced creating the tenth-generation Honda Accord. Anyone who has lived in the United States during the past half century has to be aware of how pervasive Honda's signature sedan has become on American highways and byways. It has been among the top sellers in passenger cars for decades, and has established itself as the de facto benchmark against which most sedans are compared, usually to their detriment.
Now the new-generation 2018 Honda Accord is ready to roll into our collective consciousness after a global unveiling that took place in Detroit with typical Honda efficiency. No booming band. No celebrity presenters. No confetti-cannons or balloon drops. Just three well-presented versions of the next-gen sedan on a simple stage. That was fitting because in its rebirth the new Accord displays classic Honda design fundamentals, some of which clash with current design idioms sweeping across the industry. While the 2018 Accord does offer a bow to the "sedan-as-coupe" school that is virtually inescapable these days, it also pays special attention to visibility, including a low-cowl and subtle A-pillars, something most stylists have turned their backs on. The new model is longer, lower and wider, but it is also shorter (by a third of an inch) than the previous one. It has the boldest face of any Honda vehicle, yet at the same time that front end does not display the exaggerated bluster of so many contemporary designs. In short, this Honda Accord is every inch a Honda Accord. And that's a good thing.
At the event that introduced the 2018 to the public, I had the chance to sit down with its two chief designers – Tetsuji Morikawa, Project Leader, Exterior, and Yosuke Shimizu, Project Leader, Interior. Each had surprising things to say about the 2018 Honda Accord and the process that led to its final design. The following is that interview.
JACK R. NERAD: Accord is iconic. It has been one of the most popular models in America for decades. What design challenges and opportunities did that present?
TETSUJI MORIKAWA, Project Leader, 2018 Honda Accord Exterior: First of all Accord represents the Honda brand, and by the same turn it represents the U.S. sedan. So that was the first thing that was really important to think about. So what was the first thing we did? We took the clay model of the car to the U.S. to see it in U.S. sunlight.
NERAD: So it was that important to you to see the car in the United States? Because the light is different? It's so different that you believe it was critical to do the design in the light it would be most often seen in?
MORIKAWA: First of all to reiterate, Accord is an American car so I thought it was important to look at it in American sunlight. There were two styling things we wanted to do with the new Accord: first, we wanted a couple-like, sleek cabin and we wanted a really strong front hood. And we wanted to do that [design it] in light that made it easiest to see.
NERAD: The typical person might have a difficult time believing the light is different in the United States versus Japan. Can you explain how and why the light is different?
MORIKAWA: I've done design work in Europe, in Asia and in North America, and I can say the light is different. When I did styling in a German studio the light looked grayish. I've done styling in Italy in Torino [Turin], and there again the light looked grayish. I have an experience where I took one of the models I did the styling for to the United States, and I was really confident in that model, in all the surfaces and lines I put in that model, and when I came to the United States the light washed it all out.
NERAD: The light was too intense?
MORIKAWA: Yes. So that's why for this model I turned around and asked my boss if I could work on the model in the United States.
NERAD: What challenges and opportunities did the Accord's prominence in the U.S. market present to you as the lead interior designer?
YOSUKE SHIMIZU, Project Leader, 2018 Honda Accord, Interior: The biggest thing we wanted to do with the exterior styling was to emphasize fun to drive, to go back to the beginning and play up fun to drive. And we thought with a shrinking sedan segment, the people who are going to buy a sedan are people who really want to drive. To that end we rethought the packaging of the vehicle. So first we pulled the front pillars back to make a really wide front view that feels very good. We also took the front seats and moved them more to the center of the vehicle, and that creates a feeling of being in the center of the vehicle when you are driving. [To enhance the ability to command the car through turns.] Also, there are a lot of horizontal motifs in the vehicle. For some of the parts in the interior that you touch – the steering wheel, shift knob – we worked very closely with test drivers, our Honda test drivers, to try to figure out which are the best shapes. So we tried to make the design for this not something that came from our sketches but something that really came from the dynamic performance of the vehicle.
NERAD: How did your use of new materials and new technology unfold in the 2018 Accord?
MORIKAWA: In terms of new materials, for the exterior styling new materials really weren't used, but I can talk about new technology. For instance, on the roof we used a laser brazing technology, what we call the Mohican (sic), where the side meets the roof. Then on the side, rear and head lights we upscaled it [the design] with new technology.
SHIMIZU: We did use a lot of new materials in the interior, but one thing I want to say at the outset, we wanted to make shapes and surfaces that really came from the materials we were using. We worked really hard to make metal materials have metallic surfaces, same thing with the wood–the wood-like surfaces. For example in the Touring and the EX-L there is wood paneling–now unfortunately it is not real wood–but for that there were four layers of film used to create that wood-like paneling, and that helped to create depth. We also put a lot of emphasis into the wood pattern. The pattern is a very rare type of treewood pattern. And that's something you wouldn't be able to do with real wood.
NERAD: What is the most exciting or satisfying aspect of the exterior design to you?
MORIKAWA: Everything. [laughs all around] I think what I'll have to say it is the surfaces – the contrast in the surfaces. I think that we were able to create surfaces in the exterior styling that really emphasized both the strong nose and the strong front of the vehicle and the sleek cabin. And we were able to achieve that with just a few simple lines. We don't have a lot of extraneous styling lines.
NERAD: And what were the most satisfying parts of the interior design?
SHIMIZU: I have two. I'm very confident and very happy with the steering wheel we were just talking about. I really went back and forth several times with this test driver to get the steering wheel right. So the second point–and maybe this is hard to explain to non-experts–is the roof of the cabin. It's a little difficult to explain, but the roof lining—it's not the kind of part that you notice, that sticks out—but if you ride for really, really long time, it feels good. You don't get tired. It's relaxing.
NERAD: As you say, the lining of the roof is not something the driver typically pays a lot of attention to. Why do you consider it to be relaxing?
SHIMIZU: We use the phrase noiseless [not talking about sound but simplicity], so in that area there are very few parts. And going back to my earlier point when I was talking about using materials, this is the same idea. We wanted to use the materials properly in our styling. To try to explain what was meant by "noiseless" a little further, even if you don't notice it, in your peripheral vision if there are all these strange shapes and strange lines, it's tiring. Over a long period of time you do get tired of it. It does start to bother you. A "noiseless" interior is about a very clean and simple interior.
NERAD: Do you have anything to add that would help our understanding of the 2018 Accord?
MORIKAWA: That would take all night [laughs] but first I'd say from the perspective of the design team, all the designers really liked it and are confident in the styling. And I speak for all of the designers when I say that everyone was really satisfied with this. The designers and developers felt they were really satisfied with what they had accomplished…and that doesn't always happen.
SHIMIZU: All I would say is that we are in kind of a limited space here in this theater, but in the future I hope that you will get a chance to get in it and really explore. I hope you get a chance to drive it.
NERAD: Oh, I will. Unless I drop dead I intend to drive it. Thank you both.

I so agree! The hubster and I do lots of great talking in the car and that probably explains why we head out exploring on the weekends so much.

road trip! oh yeah!
I am used to people not actually listening to what I say, when people ask how I am I say "Rotten" just to see how often they go..good good...and walk off.
- Lisa said...
You're so right....road trips encourage conversation. I've had some very enlightening moments in the car with my adult boys. And hubby and I had good conversations on our vacation this summer as well.

You know.....hubby and I always talked better in the car. And even with the end of our marriage possibly in sight shortly down the road, our conversation is getting a lot better. Interesting. Thanks for posting that!

Crystal elements
Dec 11, 2009 8:32 PM GMT
I've avoided crystal mics because I live where it is hot. There are many places on our island where it also is very humid. Where I live tends to be more on the dry side. In any case, I've been reviewing information on crystal elements, and while everyone seems to agree that most or all are quite prone to breakage if dropped, there seems to be a difference of opinion regarding their longevity related to heat, and separately, humidity and dry weather. I'm hoping someone here knows more than me about this topic.

Boris Plotnikov Replied:
I dislike crystall mics as they are fragile and unresistant to climate condition (it's often cold here) and they have twice less frequencies than SM57. It seems, that I can produce any crystall tone with my 57 and EQ (just reduce bass and highs).
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Well, only slightly impulsively, I bought an Astatic JT-30 with a M-151 element in it. I figured that if the element fails, I'll get a Shure element put in it. I'm just not sure why I didn't ask about it (especially you, Joe) before I bought!
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
Crystals are sensitive to room temperatures and body heat as well. Ceramics arebasically man made crystals that are much more impervious to that.On my JT30's, I set the volume control onthe mike at about 3/4 of the way up and the volume on the amp at the feedback threshold because I know the output is gonna change from room temperature and body heat and so when the volume on the mike drops because of this, I can turn it up on the mike. when that same mike is given to a player who hasn't sweated, the volume will automatically go up. Also, the Rod Piazza mod was setup for when you turn the mic volume down, you don't lose the mids and highs, and when the crystal gets subjected to room temperature extremes and body heat, the extreme highs and lows get jacked up and the middle tends to fade out and here's where the low value cap on the volume control comes in, and it doesn't work when the volume control on the mike is all the way up.
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Joe, it would be very funny for me to have a humidor because I am more allergic to tobacco smoke than anything else in the world!
BBQ Bob, I didn't know that crystal mics actually respond to the heat of the room and body temperature in terms of volume drops. I love the approach that you have, leaving some volume room for when you need it later in the performance. It reminds me of when a guitar player goes from rhythm to lead, and boosts his or her volume at that point, through a switch in pickups, a pedal or a flip of the guitar's volume knob. Can you tell me more about the Rod Piazza mod?
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Joe --
Thanks, now I understand, the capacitor allows more highs and mids through when the volume control is turned down, as normally that would squelch some of the highs. Again, my brain goes to a guitar comparison, in which you turn the tone knob up on a guitar when you turn the volume down, to do (i think) something of the same thing. It also leads me to wonder if a guitar treble booster pedal would work for the same thing ... well, I'm sure an equalizer would. I love learning this sort of thing. Thanks, Joe and Bob
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
Just gotta make sure the volume control on the mike you have has the correct impedance. Crystals are ultra high and the right pot is a minimum of 1meg. CM/CR is no more than 500K, and many dynamic mikes are 100-250K. That Rod mod was, I believe, originally used on Fender Telecasters from 1950-56.
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Bob --
Did Rod Piazza copy his mod from a fifties Telecaster? If so, that is a very cool piece of history for us who play both guitar and harmonica. Cool way for old school technology to travel. My Telecaster is a mongrel, it has a '69 neck, and a '64 body. It is old, but not fifties!
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
A former guitar player of mine who has his own vintage instrument shop here in Boston had not only a real '52 Tele for awhile, but also its predecessor, a '48 Broadcaster. I messed around with those (I also play a little bit of guitar), and the '52 definitely has that circuit, but unlike the pot that you'd use for a crystal/ceramic mic (minimum 1meg, ideally 5mg), it had that low value capacitor in the back of a 500K pot (the pot most commonly found in a guitar, but also used on the JT30/Blues Blaster when they started to finally put volume controls in them, but those are the wrong value/impedance for a crystal, but for CM/CR cartridges, they're the right ones) and it does that very same thing. I doubt that he stole that idea, but probably it was suggested to him by a good electronics guy or guitar repair guy. The idea of the the original Broadcaster/Tele was for use as a jazz guitar and many of those had much better bottom end than most Strats, and the top end was fatter than a lot of strats, and were great for playing jump/swing stuff as a 2nd choice to a Gibson with P-90's.
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Thanks for the cool information, Bob. I received my new-to-me 70's or early 80's Astatic JT-30 with a M-151 element, and it sounds fantastic. I hope it lasts a very long time, because I love the sound. I read somewhere that crystal elements are supposed to have more of a treble response than the CM/CR Shure elements. I heard that, but it wasn't at the expense of a bass response. Perhaps my Shure is a bit more "boomy," but the Astatic had a full bass sound to my ears.
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
The elements in those JT30's have a surprising amount of bottom end, and the midrange presence rise isn't as heavily exaggerated as it is with the CM/CR cartridges. If you have the JT30 with the screw on connector and the threaded hole for a mike or a desk stand, those are pre-1984. The inside of the grills on those doesn't let in anywhere near as much body heat and moisture that the ones made after 1984 (anything from 1984 and later has either a mini-XLR or a regular XLR. The older ones you can get an adapter to use a guitar cable with them and I much prefer this setup to the XLR setup. The Astatic actually has more bottom end range than those CM/CR's do.
I use to get those with the screw on connector setups brand new back in the 70's for as little as $8-11 US brand new in the box, and with the desk stand that they often came with, about $14-15. Now the prices on Ebay for those is so freaking outrageous. Even when those were brand new, each crystal was different from each other, with some being almost too hot and some less hot.
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Bob --
Thanks for the cool information. My mic is pre-84, and it sounds like I got lucky with the element. How do these mics sound in comparison with the older mics?
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
Do you the newer mics??? The JT30's prior to 1984 are better, and the setup behind the grill is a superior setup that doesn't allow anywhere near as much heat and moisture that the ones since 1984 uses, which is just a cheap piece of paper behind the grill and they let way too much moisture and heat/cold in.
The cartridges from 1984-1989 were terrible, tho the present crop being made in Japan (buy Kobitone, I believe) are far worse and way too trebly and thin sounding.
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
I should also mention regarding older JT30 elements, is that there are two different crystals and ceramics. The MC-151 crystal and the MC-127 ceramic, which are the most commonly known, have a midrange presence rise in them, and the MC-101 crystal and the MC-126 ceramic have, as described in older Astatic literature as being substatially flat in its response, meaning that these two, which are rarer, do NOT have a midrange presence rise (for some amps, this, if you can find it, may be a better option).
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Thanks, Bob, I meant how do the 70's and 80-84 sound in comparison to the 50's and 60's ones, which you answered regarding the elements. You also answered a question I should have asked, which is how they sound compared to the newer ones. I love learning about this stuff. I guess I have to face it, I really am a geek!
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
Like the 80's elements, some are hotter than others. The MC-101 and MC-126 were more common in the 50's so those are gonna be different because they don't have a midrange presence rise. Crystals have been noted for being inconsistent in terms of output (AKA hotness). Ceramics are basically man made crystals that ar more consistent, less susceptible to temperature extremes and some have been hotter than some crystals.
However, since Astatic stopped making the JT30's because their source for the crystals stopped making them entirely, the stuff being used now I believe are made by Kobitone of Japan, and they are clearly inferior as well as a lot more trebly.
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Bob --
I believe that I understand. I think that you said that you have more than one JT-30. What do you have, and what is your favorite, or does it depend on the situation and the amp?
I've really gotten into these vintage mics; they have as much of a story as the vintage amps and guitars, but usually are less expensive!
Kingley Replied:
A good crystal element is a tonal thing of beauty. However too many are so crappy. Since Astatic stopped production good crystals are few and far between. I'd recommend either a CM element or a good dynamic element these days. Just because they are infinitely more reliable.
There is a guy in Germany called BBHarpy who apparently repairs crystal elements. I think he can be contacted through either Harp L or www.harponline.de
BlowsMeAwy Greg Replied:
For the curious or addicted, I do have several MC-151's in good shape. Of course I have many more that rattle when you shake them - so my cost to get a good one is up there these days, and so they are not cheap. But they won't get any cheaper - I ask $215 for them right now.

OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Greg -
Given the fact that they are not made now, it seems like a reasonable price to me. It also makes me feel very lucky because I wound up with my 70's-early 80's JT-30 with an M-151 for less than that price.
Have you heard any of the crystals repaired by BBHarpy?
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Ralf, aka BBHarpy has a cool site at www.harponline.de. You can press the British flag in the upper left of the home page and read it in English. I'm going to write to him to see if he repairs crystal elements. From his description of making custom mics, it appears that he does repair them, and perhaps Shure CM/CR elements as well.
Barbeque Bob M Replied:
I have several different JT30's with both crystal as well as ceramic elements. The older ones with the screw on connectors I still much prefer. If I have to user an amp with unusually high midrange strength that could make me feed easily, here's where using the crystal/ceramics without the midrange presence rise makes more sense (MC101/MC126). For most Fender tweed amps, the JT30's with either MC151/MC127 works better because the impedances match perfectly.
With an amp from the Black Face era, like a pre-CBS Twin or Super Reverb, the Green Bullets with either a CM/CR match better because of the impedance (black face amps have a lower impedance than the tweed ones, unless in the BF amps, you plug into the channel that does NOT have effects like tremelo and reverb in it).
No matter what, it doesn't phase me to go thru the PA because unlike too many players who freak out because they can't go thru an amp to get "their tone" (and if you have that for an answer, you never had any to begin with), I look at it the way many of the old masters did, just whatever to get my sound across. Many of those old guys would just burst out laughing at 99% of these gear infected players.
Kingley Replied:
Yes BBHarpy repaired a Turner crystal element for me a few years back. Whilst not as strong as an original it did have a lot more output than before he repaired it. . It was definitely worth the money. I can't remember what I paid but I do remember thinking that it was dirt cheap.
OrthodoxBlues Replied:
Thanks for clarifying, Kingley. Ralf hasn't written back to me yet. I think that www.harponline.de actually is the site of Michael Timler, and Ralf writes some things on the site.

Posted by Alison & Eilidh on March 20, 2018
Some of you may know that Alison is going to stand down from Buchlyvie Pottery Shop at the end of this year (2018) after 35 years of producing fine porcelain and her natural flowing painted designs. While she will step down from producing her famous designs, we have no doubt she'll turn up every now and then to paint tile panels and create sculptural pieces from time to time for commissions and exhibitions.
But do not despair; Buchlyvie Pottery will still be selling ceramics and producing porcelain as Alison's eldest daughter Eilidh and her partner will take the reigns and taking a fresh approach to the shapes and pieces Alison has developed over the years.Alison will still be producing her designs until the end of this year so you have this time to stock up on your favourites and fill any missing gaps in your collection.

Moments ago, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) joined Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) in announcing that she would vote to proceed to the National Defense Authorization Act — the legislation that contains Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal — under an open amendment process. Collins added that she would vote for the legislation "once the tax issue is resolved." Brown did not overtly attach any conditions to his vote, stating simply, "I accept the findings of the report and support repeal based on the Secretary's recommendations that repeal will be implemented only when the battle effectiveness of the forces is assured and proper preparations have been completed."
During the second day of hearings, the Service Chiefs disagreed on whether to proceed with immediate repeal during a time of war, but all concurred their respective branches could implement repeal and that Congress should act to prevent the court from ordering the military to lift the ban without a proper implementation process. The Service Chiefs also hinted that they could support eventual repeal and said they trusted Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to consider their views before ordering the Armed Forces to lift the ban.
Below are highlights from today's hearings:
Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) signaled that he would disregard the opinion of the military leadership and suggested "he could move to prevent floor debate on the 2011 defense authorization bill, which contains the repeal provision."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has not yet announced how he intends to proceed with the measure or if he'll bring the bill to the floor under an open amendment process.

The Challenge
To create Christmas content that Chivas Regal could post on their Facebook Page. And to do so working with a limited budget and a very short window for completion.
The Solution
Based on the overarching concept of: 'The Art of Giving', we created three pieces of video content that the Chivas Regal audience could relate to.
We conceived the ideas for each video, and then designed, animated, filmed and edited each piece.

A numerical study of the western Cosmonaut polynya in a coupled ocean-sea ice model

Employing results from a 0.4° , 40-level fully global, coupled ocean–sea ice model, we investigated the role of physical processes emanating from atmosphere, ocean, and ice in the initiation, maintenance, and termination of a sensible heat polynya with a focus on the western Cosmonaut polynya that occurred during May–July 1999. The Cosmonaut polynya first appeared in early May 1999 in the form of an ice-free embayment, transformed into an enclosed polynya on 5–9 July, and disappeared by late July, when the ice from the surrounding regions began to encircle the embayment. Except for the differences in ice concentrations, the time of appearance, size, and shape of the Cosmonaut polynya simulated by the model are in approximate agreement with the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) observations. Between May and July 1999 the Cosmonaut Sea experienced two synoptic storms, both lasting 5 days. Followed by the passage of the first storm on 12–19 June, there was a remarkable growth in the size of the embayment by 21 103 km2. Associated with this, the sea surface temperature (SST) rose by 0.15° C, the upward heat flux jumped from 5 to 94 W m(-2), and a net freshwater flux into the ocean increased by 2 cm d(-1). By running the model simulation with a 20% wind speed increase, it is demonstrated that the twofold increase in SST and upward heat flux increased the embayment area by 15 X 10(3) km(2) and decreased the ice concentration by approximately 10% from the control run. A similar, but somewhat weaker wind event that took place on 30 June to 10 July had less influence on the embayment area although the upward heat flux (65 W m(2)) was comparable to the first event. By examining the vertical displacement of the 1.6° C isotherm depth prior to, during, and after these two storms, we demonstrate that the impetus provided by these storms was able to raise the 1.6° C isotherm depth by 30 m through wind-driven mixing, making sufficient oceanic heat input from beneath the mixed layer available to prevent freezing and/or delay ice formation while ice in the adjacent regions continued to grow. A sudden shift in the ice drift direction from southwest to northeast (3 July) followed by the second storm, accompanied by large air-sea temperature differences, caused the enclosure of the embayment, subsequent formation of the polynya, and its termination.

Ten days before a body was found in a car boot, a dazed and confused Zhen Fang told Sydney police he'd killed someone but could not remember where and when.
"That man gave me a lot of ice" he said during the conversation which stopped at times as he appeared to read passages from a bible he was clutching.
On Wednesday, the 38-year-old was found guilty of murdering Ting Huang, whose partially decomposed remains were found on September 21, 2014, near Rockwood cemetery in Lidcombe.
The NSW Supreme Court jury rejected the submission that his culpability should be reduced to manslaughter due to his suffering a substantial impairment of the mind at the time.
A psychiatrist told the jury Fang was suffering from a drug-induced psychosis, having earlier experienced hallucinations and delusions caused by the toxic effects of methamphetamine.
Eleven days before Mr Huang's body was found, Fang told his pastor he had "done something to another person" and made a throat-slitting gesture.
The next day he went to police making admissions about having killed someone.
During his conversation he hit himself in the head, gave answers and made unintelligible comments and was in a blank, daze-like state.
His behaviour led police to arrange for him to be mentally assessed.
No drugs were found in his system and he was released, as police had no details about a body or a crime.
But 10 days later they received a parking complaint about a green Honda near Rookwood cemetery and found Mr Huang's body wrapped in a doona in the boot.
He had multiple stab wounds and high levels of methamphetamine in his body.
While Fang was found to have no drugs in his system when he saw police, an expert said ice was very quickly eliminated from the body of a living person.
He later told a psychiatrist he had used ice for about 12 months, saying that from July 2014 he knew "things were not right".
He reported having argued in August or September with Mr Huang, who came from the same Chinese province as Fang, and them taking a lot of ice.
He said he woke a few days later at home, thought he had done something wrong and went to police.
His sentencing hearing will be held on February 3.

On your subscription pricing description, you note "Receive 100 Payments". What does that mean, exactly?Page URL:
- SabbirAnswered on November 08, 2017 at 11:27 AM
"Receive 100 Payments" refer to the submissions that have payment integrations on them. So for example, if you have Paypal payment integration on your form, if a user fills out the form, submitted it and successfully completed the payment, then that would be counted as a payment submission. So in this way, you can receive 100 payment based submissions in our Silver package.
Hope this answers your question.

Fast forward to today, where more and more books are now available online. My placement has a classroom set that students may check out, but the entire textbook is also online for easier access. Students no longer have to carry a 5 pound textbook for each class when they can easily go online and read the assigned pages. The issue now was how to take notes from the readings.
With paper copies, students were free to hilight, underline, dog-ear, and write notes in the book on what they read. They could use Post-It tabs to locate the book sections they needed. Online, these activities are much more difficult. For instance, the book used in my placement just has the block of text on the screen. It's difficult to switch back and forth between screen and paper as one takes notes. If only there was a way to take notes right on the screen. Oh, and word-processing programs don't cut it because switching between windows is irritating.
Enter Scrible, a free cloud-based program with a downloadable toolbar that can help students hilight and annotate webpages and e-books. The pages can be bookmarked for later, with all the hilighting and notes intact. This would save time and paper while decreasing the clutter usually associated with printout copies of articles and books.
I heard of Scrible, as well as other annotation programs like DocHub (formerly PDFZen), through Katherine Lester's talk at the MACUL conference last week. With entire libraries online (see the Michigan e-Libary at mel.org) that are organized by reading level (like NewsELA and TweenTribune), it's no wonder that more and more teachers are making the switch to digital books and articles. And now, with the advent of free programs like Scrible and DocHub, teachers can save paper and decrease clutter because the articles don't need to be printed out.
Did I mention that all this is Chromebook compatible and free? Welcome to the new age classroom.

I know things have been said and talked about regarding the skeleton and Albert's teeth etc, but I would like to start a topic about other unusual items that may have caught your eye.
Two things that I have seen of late that really stand out for me: 1 Harolds amazing sunglasses in the "colour problem". If you haven't watched this episode for a while please watch it just for these glasses. I have never seen any on television or in all my adult life anywhere apart from here.
It's where Harold is dreaming about owning the white sports car (a jag convertable, NICE) the clip shows you Harold driving in the car with a young lady in the most weird and unusual glasses ever. Square in design looking as though he has two television sets in front of his face!
:2 Secondly I would like to mention Harold's toffee/brown bubble/tye-dye shirt when he gets married to zita.
Again unless you were of that era you'd never see owt like this!
Would probably be quite popular now if it was available!

Chew on this
So I finally got around to reading The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan's excellent and deservedly popular book.
I am probably the wrong person to review this book, possessing what have been often derided as the Worst Eating Habits on Earth. Ever.
For the past three nights I've had broccoli and jellybeans for dinner. I would have the same thing tonight, but I've eaten all the broccoli and jellybeans. Which means I am probably going to eat edamame and Junior Mints for dinner tonight.
Fortunately, Pollan's book isn't another Watersian, slow-food-worshipping polemic. Sure, Pollan is trying to gently noodge his readers towards something (which we'll get to later) but he also understands that in order to change, really meaningfully change on a large scale the way we eat in America, we'll have to dismantle our entire industrial farming enterprise, and that's as likely as the Pope on a pogo stick.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to confess that Pollan's book has not, as of yet, made me change my eating habits (see: jellybeans, containing not only high fructose corn syrup, but artificial dye, which we now are finding out is actually Satan). But what Pollan's book does, and it does it very very well, is explain how our eating habits are being controlled by factors that we do not see, do not think about, and probably don't ever connect to the way we eat.
Pollan looks at four meals: a McDonald's burger and fries; organic chicken and vegetables from Whole Foods; chicken, vegetables, and eggs from a small, organic family farm; and finally, a meal containing only things he'd found or killed himself.
I found the first meal the most interesting, if only because I find American fast food really bewildering. My ill-advised shamrock shake adventure notwithstanding, I don't eat fast food - not in any sort of sniffy, health-conscious way (see: my raging sugar addiction and one-entire-salami-a-week habit) but simply because I am too lazy to go and get it. The irony.
Certainly, there are many other things just as bad for you as fast food, but the point that Pollan seems to be making is not only is fast food bad for you, it's bad for everything. Pollan visits a Midwestern farm that grows corn, nothing but corn, super-high-yield genetically tinkered with corn, that then delivers this corn to be processed by agribusinesses into forty zillion different corn products, from the aforementioned syrup to all kinds of other Frakensteinian concoctions, which then end up in your food. Even if that food has nothing to do with corn.
The corn also ends up getting fed to cows, which is kind of weird when you consider that cows are not grain-eaters. But as Pollan's guided tour of a vast feedlot shows, we've gotten around that in a number of ingenious ways.
'Farming' in America has become something of a massive, money-sucking shell game, and Pollan rightly points out the irony in delivering federal subsidies to "family farmers" whose farms don't grow anything you could actually eat, but rather suck up petroleum and spit out corn.
What is the intrepid consumer to do? Jump ship and head for the more colorful, life-affirming aisles of Whole Foods? Not so fast, as 'organic' farming, at least on the scale necessary to supply the Whole Foods of North America, may not use as many pesticides as other farms, but the philosophy doesn't jibe with the reality. Pollan takes a fascinating little linguistic detour here as he takes the reader through a genre he terms "supermarket pastoral," parsing the flowery snippets of prose that Whole Foods likes to paste around the grocery store.
To highlight the difference, Pollan decamps for Polyface Farm of Virginia (and if you've eaten at any of the restaurants in the area that are way out of my price range, you may have seen things like "Polyface chicken" on the menu), a real, organic, multi-use farm run by a farmer who seems like a cross between MacGuyver and the guy from "Back to the Future" (and also seems more sane in Pollan's book than his website may lead you to believe). Joel Salatin, the owner of Polyface Farms, would seem like exactly the type of small family farmer who should be rolling in federal money, but of course he's not, and USDA standards (written to the exact specifications of lobbyists for the meat industry) even keep him from producing his own beef and pork.
Pollan certainly makes a convincing case for vegetarianism, but his Omnivore's Dilemma is really about how an omnivore can make conscienable choices about what they eat in a system designed for profit, and not human or environmental health.
Pass the Jujubes.

The Law of Attraction Explained - Defining Thoughts
Before you can get the law of attraction clarified, you must be happy to modify the way you use your mind. Put aside everything you think you know more about the universe, how it works, and the character of life. Have a step beyond the borders of your own imagination and youth belief system. Assume for a minute, that you may be on the brink of finding a secret so vast and overwhelmingly strong, it is going to change who you're forever. Because it will, undoubtedly, and MUCH quicker than you ever thought possible!
The law of attraction is just that, like attracts like. When you have the law of attraction explained for you it is crucial to keep in mind that it is the universal and all powerful law which governs everything in the universe. What you give you receive and you receive so you might give. This is the way of the world and it is the way that it is intended. You cannot create anything without giving out the thoughts and feelings connected to the completed creation. In your mind thoughts are born. Ideas spawn emotions that lead to more thoughts and so forth. Positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative.
The aging process of the human race does not stop but GROWS. Our bodies may grow into their adult forms, but our minds have to also grow to realize our entire potential. Our greatest duty is to master our thoughts and feelings. However, like an aging kid clinging to their toddler belief and value system, a lot people choose ignorance over this undertaking. This is because it requires effort, discipline, devotion, faith and these "growing pains" are easy to side-step when everyone around you apparently is doing the same thing. The law of attraction explained as an outer force is wrong. Everything starts and ends from in your mind and without it there could be nothing.
To have the law of attraction explained to us isn't sufficient in and of itself. It takes a certain degree of honesty, dedication, courage, and understanding before our eyes adjust to the wisdom. We live in a period where we can't afford to pick the easy way out. We all need to have the law of appeal explained to us, but more importantly, we all need to mature in our beliefs and thought habits. Our technology and net circumstances are employing sufficient pressure upon us as a species which we HAVE to grow up emotionally, or face the consequences. It is time most of us recognize and accept the depth and magnitude of the power available to us. Not simply to alter our lives, but to re-shape the world as we see fit, and beyond to our wildest fantasies.
Our brains are super-computers. Considerably more powerful and complex than any mechanical device on this planet. It's capable of producing literal wonders and can be used to create and encounter ANYTHING. The brain uses an operating system called the sub-conscious mind. We, the user, operate this computer primarily through a alert interface. The sub-conscious brain controls all of our involuntary bodily activities. From the timing of our heart-beat, to the release of enzymes in our blood-stream, to some hundred thousand other extremely important tasks. In addition to this, the sub-conscious has another job, symptom.
Everything in the world can be broken down to smaller and smaller bits. If you break anything down far enough that you arrive at energy. Therefore, everything is energy! We breathe and live in bodies made of pure energy and are surrounded by it. Vibration, frequency, synchronization, harmonization, this is our planet and it's all connected. The universe is, basically, a massive pool of energy and vibration. The important part, every human mind has access to the combined stored energy of the world as a whole! The sub-conscious is our link to the infinite energy of the energy and pulls from it whatever pictures we project into the mind.
The psychological responsibility of the sub-conscious is simply to produce and obey whatever the consumer(you) reveals it. And this it does by interpreting your emotions as controls. The sub-conscious does not distinguish reality from belief and will respond to ANY command you provide it! If you believe you will fail, you may. If you think you don't have sufficient money, you do not. Those limiting beliefs are what you are controlling the sub-conscious to attract in the universe. It doesn't EXACTLY what you want! The problem is as we input adult-hood we don't use the proper commands to attract that which we need most. Often-times bringing the exact reverse through fear, doubt, and stress. The new found "responsibilities" of young adults tends to automatically send them down poor mental habits of failure, disappointment, and frustration.
Rewind your lifetime and you'll discover a time when you automatically used your sub-conscious correctly. In this time period you were happy, healthy, powerful, and felt invincible. The entire world was your oyster and there was not any fantasy you couldn't achieve on your thoughts. Some never miss this mindset, others might not remember ever feeling this way. In any case, ALL success and happiness is born within this joyous mind. We are conditioned to utilize are heads badly. Through strain and habitat, most of us tend to put on a collective veil of distress and limitation. This veil grows heavy and causes even more burdens to the mind. It is hard to escape this mental trap so a lot of us are born to. But there's always hope! Provided that you can believe, you can change your life. For it is finally our ideas, after-all, that define us. That's a great fact so a lot of us appear to have forgotten. In our quest to have the law of attraction explained, oftentimes we discover the scars we've accumulated through the years. Do not concentrate on the pain that caused them rather, focus on how great you feel now and how great your future is from the point of view of gratitude. Find the hidden blessings in your life, and be the blessed person you deserve to be!
